On April 19th, an exhibition about pottery (陶器) was held at Wuhan Optical Valley Experimental School. Many pieces of pottery in different sizes were shown at the school. Some were a bit broken, 1.but all of them were objects of beauty made by the students.

At the end of last year, the school started a project that called on teachers to collect disused or broken pieces of pottery from the countryside. So for, they have collected almost 3, 000 pieces. “2.陶器过去在人们的日常生活中扮演了重要的角色,” school headmaster Ma Guoxin told the reporter. “By pottery painting, the students can improve themselves in many ways. 3.They can have a better understanding of the history of pottery and show the love for life.

Students turned the pottery into different works of art. 4.They were all encouraged to paint pictures on them, even though some students were still beginners. Slowly, they became better at painting on the pottery. In March, the school held a pottery painting competition. Wang Zixuan, a student from Grade Nine, with little knowledge of painting, painted a beautiful night scenery Thanksgiving Day has become a public holiday (风景) on a piece of pottery.

It was so nice that many students loved it. Almost every classroom has colored pieces of pottery. They are either used as flowerpots (花盆) or pen containers (笔筒). The school has also set up several art comers to show the pottery. For example, the students have put some pottery on bookcases outside of a lecture hall (报告厅). 5.它已经变成了学生们放松的好地方。

25、On a hot summer day, ice-cold watermelons serve up a delicious treat. Sure, the rosy flesh (果肉) quenches your thirst (解渴). But now there are more reasons than ever for people to reach for a slice of watermelon.

Meet Dr Alison Edwards. She is a scientist at the Agricultural Research Service. Scientists are people who come up with new ideas called theories (理论). They usually do scientific research to test their new theories. That’s how they find out if a new idea is a good one, or if the new idea will bring an even better idea.

At her lab, Dr Edwards recently learned more about the secrets of why watermelons are good for you!

Dr Edwards has known for a long time that watermelons have vitamin C. But recently she learned that watermelons also have lycopene (番茄红素). It is something that gives tomatoes and watermelons their rosy red colour.

Dr Edwards says that watermelons and tomatoes both have lots of lycopene. It seems that your body can use the lycopene from watermelons more easily than the lycopene from raw (生的) tomatoes.

26、One little miracle (奇迹) has been happening to me recently, and it gives me a special joy.

A few months ago, I was telling my daughter, Sally, some stories about my mother. My daughter was so young when my mother died that she doesn’t remember her well. I told her all I could remember, like how wonderful my mother was and how much she meant to me.

One day, Sally was sad because her grandmother was in heaven (天堂) and she couldn’t see her. I explained that though her grandmother was dead,  now she was still watching over us and could send us something to let us know she was there. She could be anywhere, even riding invisibly (看不见地) on the back of a butterfly. Just after I said this, a butterfly flew down right by us, and we laughed happily.

Now many people would say it was just luck that the butterfly flew down at that time. A funny thing, however, has happened since then. Every time I go out in any type of weather I see butterflies. Very often they fly right by my face to get my attention. I always say hi to Mum, send her my love, and thank God for little miracles.

Everyone is always looking for some big miracles to come out and save them when they are in trouble, but they don’t notice the little miracles that happen every day right in front of their eyes. I know what they really are, however. For me little miracles are the best kind. So many little miracles happen around me all the time that I know they are not just luck.

27、After months of expectation and secrecy, the official mascot（吉祥物）of the 2022 Winter Olympic Games—a giant panda-inspired cartoon character-made its first public debut with cheers at Beijing’s Shougang Ice Hockey Arena.

The panda is named “Bing Dwen Dwen” in Chinese. Bing means “ice” in Chinese, while Dwen Dwen suggests “health and cleverness”-characteristics also shared by pandas. Pandas are perhaps the most recognized animal species in China, organizers said.

“Pandas combine China’s traditional culture and its modern appearance together with winter sports elements in a fascinating image（形象）that shows our great expectations for the Games and shows that we welcome the world,” said Beijing Mayor Chen Jining, who also serves as an executive president on the organizing committee.

“I have already seen the mascot and from what I’ve seen, it’s a wonderful choice,” IOC President Thomas Bach said before introducing the character. “The mascot really takes in the best elements and characteristics of China and the Chinese people. It will be a great ambassador（大使）for the country and the 24th Winter Olympics.”

The ring of light surrounding the mascot’s face is suggestive of ice and snow tracks, as well as the flowing “ribbons” of the National Speed Skating Oval. The oval is one of two new competition sites in downtown Beijing expected to become a landmark of the Games, according to its chief designer Cao Xue.

The introduction of the mascots marks the key point of a journey that began in August 2018, when Beijing organizers started a global design competition for the mascots. A total of 5,816 designs were received from 35 countries, and were reviewed by Chinese and international experts in a comprehensive evaluation（综合评价）and selection process.

The new mascot will serve as spirited symbol of the Games that will take place in the three zones of downtown Beijing, the suburban district of Yanqing and co-host city Zhangjiakou in surrounding Hebei province.

【1】What does the underlined word “debut” in paragraph 1 mean?

A．Design.

B．Appearance.

C．Understanding.

D．Attention.

【2】What does Bach think of the mascot?

A．Surprising.

B．Enjoyable.

C．Satisfying.

D．Interesting.

【3】What’s paragraph 5 mainly about?

A．The origin（起源）of the mascot image.

B．The introduction to the mascot designer.

C．The hard work behind the mascot design.

D．The hidden meaning of the mascot image.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．The Mascot of the 24th Winter Olympic Games.

B．A Historical Moment of the Winter Olympic Games.

C．A Lovely Panda Welcomes the World.

D．Comments（评论）on the Mascot of the 24th Winter Olympics.
