• 3．Imagine a group of elephants trampling（重步行走）through the streets of your city.Residents in some areas of Yunnan province have recently experienced such a wild sight.
     Recent video footage showing 15 wild Asian elephants roaming（漫步）the streets in a downtown area at night has gone viral.The elephants originally lived in the Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve in south Yunnan but started heading north in December 2020.As of June 2，the herd was nearing Kunming，the capital of Yunnan province，and was showing no sign of stopping.
     The herd originally consisted of 17 elephants when it left the nature reserve，but two of the animals gained access to alcohol in a village and became drunk，according to local officials.The pair was later reported to have returned to Pu'er，a city north of Xishuangbanna Dai autonomous prefecture.
      Wild Asian elephants can roam up to 40 kilometers a day，and an adult eats 150 to 200 kilograms of food each day.The 15 roaming elephants have damaged 561，333 square meters of crops and caused financial losses of nearly 6.8 million yuan on their 500-kilometer journey.Why did the elephants travel so far from their original habitat？Guo Xianming，deputy director of the research institute at the Xishuangbanna Nature Reserve，said a lack of food is the animals' main problem.Supplies of the elephants' favorite food—plume grass（蔗茅）—have fallen due to invasive plant growth.
     "About two-thirds of them are now living outside reserves because the increasing forest canopy density（林冠密度） has resulted in food shortages，" said Chen Mingyong，a life sciences professor at Yunnan University.
     The Asian elephant population in Yunnan，their sole habitat in China，has risen from 170 in the 1970s to 300，according to the Yunnan Provincial Forestry and Grassland Administration.Since 2008，Xishuangbanna has provided a "canteen（食堂）" for wild animals—mainly Asian elephants.It provides them with bamboo，corn，bananas and sugarcane（甘蔗）.In 2017，this pilot project was expanded to double its original size in an effort to reduce friction（摩擦）between villagers and the elephants eating their crops due to food shortages.Despite "canteens" being set up，tasty food in local communities remains a big temptation（誘惑）for the elephants.
     In most cases，the purpose of animal migration is to find a suitable habitat，and they can travel as far as the climate and food will support them until they reach a safe place to live，according to Zaker，a domestic reading platform.Chen suggested a possible reason behind the Yunnan herd's journey. "It's possible that this herd lost its way during the march because its leader lacked experience." said Chen.
  
  （1）What can we learn from the text？

  
  A．The Asian elephant population has risen.
  B．We should protect the elephant's original habitat.
  C．The roaming elephants have caused great damage.
  D．A wild Asian elephant herd from Yunnan has been heading north.

  D．Invasive plant growth.
  （3）Which of the following might be the scientist's opinion？

  
  A．The elephant population has doubled in 30 years.
  B．The elephant herd might lose its way.
  C．Food supply will be more and more severe.
  D．The animals will find a more suitable habitat.
  （4）What can be the suitable title for the text？

• 4．Are you the only child in your family？If so，do you enjoy it or do you want more siblings（兄弟姐妹）？
     On May 31，a key meeting of the Communist Party of China unveiled a policy that would allow all couples to have up to three children.
     The move is expected to maximize the population's role in driving economic and social growth，since this is a critical time for China to transform the world's most populous country into a powerhouse（強(qiáng)國）with a quality workforce，according to the National Health Commission.
     The three-child policy is also expected to prevent the decline in the nation's birthrate and address the challenge of a rapidly aging population，China Daily reported.
     China's annual number of newborns has fallen for four years in a row.The country's total birthrate—the average number of children born to each woman—stood at 1.3 in 2020.The number is below the rate of 2.1 that would maintain a stable population，according to the National Bureau of Statistics.
     The declining birthrate has also brought a sharp increase in the proportion of the population aged 60 or above，rising from 10.3 percent to 18.7 percent in the past decade.An increasingly elderly population will increase the cost of labor and the pressure on the social security net.It also means there will be a lack of young labor force.Therefore，it's not good for economic growth，according to Chen Youhua，a professor at Nanjing University.
     In fact，the new birth policy is a step to further relax the family planning policy.The one-child policy was introduced in the 1970s and aimed to control the fast-growing population.Then in 2013，China allowed couples to have a second child if either parent was an only child，and in 2016，all couples were allowed to have two children.
     However，not all people have shown their support for this latest policy.Many couples complained about the rising costs of raising a child.A netizen named Qinfeng commented， "High cost of education and both the physical and mental exhaustion stopped me from having more than one child." Also，many women are reluctant（不情愿的）to give birth because that could mean sacrificing their career prospects，according to Mu Guangzong，a professor at Peking University.
     In that case，Mu noted that it is better to implement supporting measures with the three-child policy，such as more preferential（優(yōu)惠的）policies for couples that would ease their parental burden.
  
  （1）What might NOT be the main cause for the new policy？

  
  A．To increase the population's role.
  B．To stop the declining birthrate.
  C．To improve the child- care service system.
  D．To address the challenge of the aging population.
  （2）What can be known from the text？

  
  A．China's annual number of newborns has fallen for decades.
  B．The government will protect the legal rights of women in employment.
  C．Measures will be taken to improve the high-quality education.
  D．The new policy allows couples to have up to three children.
  （3）Which of the following can replace the underlined word "implement"？

  
  A．To carry out.
  B．To get along with.
  C．To make use of.
  D．To have a command of.
  （4）What is the author's purpose in writing the text？

  
  A．To show his love of children healthcare.
  B．To introduce the new family size policy.
  C．To share his concerns about birthrate.
  D．To emphasize the physical and mental exhaustion.

• 5．Having more than 500 revolution- related sites，Zunyi of Guizhou province is a city immersed in red culture. "Zunyi is a city rooted in revolutionary history，" said Zheng Yunjie，17，who is from the city. " （1）

  However，they usually have a good impression toward Zunyi，I guess it's the 'red culture' that gives the city a positive image and makes it popular." Indeed，Zunyi has a close connection with the development of the Communist Party of China （CPC）and the Red Army，a forerunner of the People' s Liberation Army.During the Long March（1934-1936），Zunyi is where the Red Army，under the command of the CPC，turned setbacks into victories.
     （2）

  They learn to cherish the "red spirit".Zheng，for example，has seen the rusty guns of the Red Army soldiers，visited the steeps of Loushanguan，and admired the monument carved with former leader Deng Xiaoping's words， "The spirit of the Red Army is forever remembered."
     Schools also organize red-themed activities to pass on the cultural heritage to younger generations.（3）

  Huang Xinyi，13，has participated in red-themed hand-copied newspaper competitions.In one of her articles，Huang wrote， "Looking like a rooster on the map，my motherland is grand and magnificent.With the red scarf floating over my chest，the Party's great mission is remembered in heart."
     （4）

  The city has seen over 630.5 million visits during the past five years，gaining a revenue of about 641.67 billion yuan，according to China Daily.Every year from 2016 to 2020，with the help of booming "red tourism"，more than 50，000 local people were able to shake off poverty.
     （5）

  Tourists can dress like Red Army soldiers from head to toe for less than 100 yuan at Long March-themed cosplay shops in the city center.At local memorial sites，Red Army-related plays bring history back to life，reported China Daily.The Zunyi Conference site is a part of the planned cultural park.Mou Xinyue，17，once volunteered as a tour guide at the spot. "Many tourists made special trips to Zunyi from thousands of miles away，just to relive those hard but glamorous days，" she told China Daily， "The red history makes Zunyi a big name across the country，and I believe the cultural heritage will bring my hometown an even brighter future."
  
  A.Zunyi is like a red culture theme park.
  B.Zunyi's revolutionary history has shaped the city.
  C.It is seen as the turning point in the history of the CPC.
  D.Many people might consider Guizhou to be poor and closed.

  F.Zunyi has witnessed many big events during China's revolutionary history.
  G.These include trips to the red tourism spots and performances of revolutionary songs

      The big day came at last.The alarm rang at 6 a.m.The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen.They decided to boil the porridge first.They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast.Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk.Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture.Next，Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan.Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread.The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds.Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread.This time，she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.
      Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake.The next minute，the porridge boiled over and put out the fire.Jenna panicked.Thankfully，Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly.But the stove was a mess now.Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge.But Jeff's hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain.Jenna made him put his hand in cold water.Then she caught the smell of burning.Oh dear!The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.
