1、   Da Mao(大毛) and Er Shun(二顺) are two giant pandas (大熊猫) that have made the Calgary Zoo in Canada their home since 2018. They were expected to live there until 2023. 64. However, they will come back to China earlier than expected.

The zoo announced the news on May 12, saying the decision was made due to COVID-19 travel restrictions (限制). The restrictions have made it more challenging for the zoo to get bamboo for the pandas to eat, Global News reported.

65. According to the zoo, 99 percent of a giant panda's diet (饮食) is made up of fresh bamboo. Each adult giant panda eats around 40 kg of bamboo a day.

“We believe the best and safest place for Er Shun and Da Mao to be during these challenging times is where bamboo is easy to get,” said Dr CI e ment Lanthier, president of the Calgary Zoo.

24、   When we want to find out what the weather will be like tomorrow, we usually turn on the radio or TV. But in the time before radio and TV, people needed to forecast (预测) the weather. How did they do it? Let’s learn about two weather rhymes (押韵的诗) together.

Red sky at night, Sailor’s delight!

Red sky in the morning, Sailors take warning!

This weather rhyme was written a long time ago, but it still works today. As the sun is setting, a red sky at night usually means there are no clouds coming in from the west, a sign of good weather for tomorrow. But a red sky in the morning always means drier air is moving away to the east and moister air is moving in from the west. The moist air could bring clouds, rain and stormy weather.

When leaves show their undersides (底部), Be very certain, rain betides.

The rhyme shows us how trees forecast the weather. Tree leaves turn upside down just before it rains. In the period before a storm, strong winds can lift the leaves and show their undersides.

Animals, insects and plants are natural forecasters. When a summer storm is coming, you may notice that dogs, cows, horses, and geese grow restless (不安的) and frogs come out of their hiding places. These animals don’t have some sixth sense. Scientists think the animals can hear the low frequency (频率) sound waves made by thunderstorms many miles away.

Get outside and observe nature carefully, and soon you’ll be your own weather forecaster.

【1】The underlined word “moist” can be replaced by the word “________”.

A.wet B.Cold C.warm D.clean

【2】What is helpful for some animals to forecast the stormy weather?

A.Their sense of sight. B.Their sense of hearing.

C.Their sense of smell. D.Their sense of touching.

【3】Which of the following is TRUE?

A.The two rhymes are both about winter weather.

B.When leaves show their undersides, it will be fine.

C.If you see a red sky in the morning, you can travel outside.

D.If you see a frog come out of its hiding place, you’d better stay at home.

【4】What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?

A.To introduce two famous weather rhymes to us.

B.To tell us we should read as many rhymes as possible.

C.To show us the way to observe different animals.

D.To encourage us to get close to nature and observe the weather on our own.

25、In the middle of the first term of school， the whole seventh grade was tested for basic skills. Steve hurried through his tests， and continued to dream of other things. His heart was not in school， but in the woods.

One day， Miss White’s voice broke into his daydreams. “Steve! Listen carefully!” Steve turned to look at her， fixing his eyes on Miss White， as she began to go over the test results for the seventh grade.

“You all did pretty well，” she told the class， “except for one boy， and it breaks my heart to tell you this， but...” She hesitated， her eyes searching his face. “...The smartest boy in the seventh grade is failing my class!” She just stared at Steve. Steve dropped his eyes.

After that， it was war! Steve still wouldn’t do his homework. Even as the punishments became more serious， he was still stubborn.

“Just try it! ONE WEEK!” He was unmoved.

“You’re smart enough! You’ll see a change!” Nothing touched him.

“Give yourself a chance! Don’t give up on your life!” Nothing.

“Steve! Please! I care about you!”

Wow! Suddenly， Steve got it! Someone cared about him! Steve went home from school， thoughtful， that afternoon. Walking into the house， both parents were out. He， quickly， gathered up a jar of peanut butter， a loaf of bread， a bottle of water， and this time...his schoolbooks.

The following Monday he arrived at school on time， and he waited for Miss White to enter the classroom. She walked in， all smiles! God， she was beautiful!

Miss White， immediately， gave a quiz on the weekend homework. Steve hurried through the test and was the first to hand in his paper. With a look of surprise， Miss White took his paper. Obviously puzzled， she began to look it over. Miss White’s face was in total shock! The smartest boy in the seventh grade had just passed his first test!

From that moment nothing was the same for Steve. Life at home was the same， but life still changed. He discovered that not only could he learn， but he was good at it!

26、   Whatever life threw at us each year, our family had one tradition at Christmas: our dog Pepper opened our presents for us.

Last year, everyone made it home for a Christmas get-together. However, it couldn’t feel perfect because Pepper's health was becoming worse. Her life had already been longer than we expected—she was fourteen—and yet her mind was still sharp. Her love for life made us feel better. But her body could not keep up with her mind.

Probably it was Pepper's last Christmas, so we decided to make sure she would enjoy it. On Christmas Eve, we each prepared presents for her.

Soon, Pepper selected her first Christmas gift. She turned the present, just as she was a young dog once more. She pulled the paper off the dog treat before she chewed it slowly. Our family was so happy.

Pepper saw the other three presents, and then turned to Mom as if asking, "May I open another?”

"Go ahead, girl!" Mom encouraged.

For the next few minutes, Pepper opened each of her Christmas presents. While she did, she reminded us of the joy of being together. Our family felt as a whole—not because we were in the same room or city, but because our love brought us together.

Pepper passed away after Christmas. Her peaceful passing made us tearful. Her passing was also a celebration of life, because she gave my family so much love and laughter.

I still treasure（珍惜）Pepper's final Christmas gift. She taught me that no matter where we each spend the holidays, the smallest act of sincere （诚挚的）giving can unite（团结）our family through our love. For me, that knowledge is the longest-lasting gift of all.

27、Drawing on a New Friendship

Last Saturday，I went to the park to draw．When I finished the outline of a girl，a shadow（影子）fell across my drawing．

 “That’s not a bad start”， said the shadow．“Do you have any finished drawings？” I looked up to see a girl about my age．

I was displeased that someone was looking at my drawing and interrupted me. "Not bad?" I asked.

"No need to be angry.”The girl handed a sketchbook(素描本）to me.  "Want to look at my drawings?”

I felt curious and traded sketchbooks with her. Her sketches of people were okay，but I was really attracted by her drawings of nature，like trees，rocks，and rivers，all done with great detail.

"Wow！You have some talent，”I said. "What's your name?"

The girl took back her sketchbook and answered，“Emma Thompson.”

“I'm Alice Ruiz，”I said.“You draw so well. Are you in an art class?"

Emma replied，“No. The art class is full，so I have to wait until next term. Besides，you're a talented one. I really find it difficult to draw people，but you make it look easy.”

“I have a great idea！”I said.“Let's draw together！You can draw the nature views on one piece of paper while I draw the people on another. Then we'll exchange and finish each other's drawings. That way，both drawings would show off both of our talents！”

"That's not a bad idea，Alice，”Emma agreed.

About an hour later，we completed our drawings. I had drawn a boy walking with his dog. Emma had added a path and some flowers. Emma had drawn a beautiful tree，and I had added a girl reading under the tree.

“This was a fun idea，”I said.“Hey，Emma，would you like to meet me here again to draw together?"

“See you next Saturday，Alice，”Emma said with a smile.
