“Look! Here is a black-faced spoonbill（琵鹭）at the Futian Mangrove（红树林）Ecological（生态的）Park,” said Yan Zihan, a 15-year-old student from Shenzhen, Guangdong. （1）
Some experts said, “Spoonbills can live happily in Shenzhen because mangroves provide them with food and home. Generally, the special plants grow in warm places by the sea.”
（2） So its mangrove area has increased from 22,000 hectares（公顷）in 2001 to 27,000 hectares today, making China one of the few countries in the world with an increase in mangrove areas.
Recently, the world’s first international mangrove center has been set up in Shenzhen. （3） Local government has tried hard to protect mangroves. For example, back in the1990s when the city was building a road along the coast, instead of just cutting down the mangroves, they decided to move the road 260 meters to the north. （4）
The protection of mangroves is also good for the people living in Shenzhen. The park hosts fun events like the spoonbill festival and the otter（水獭）festival. （5） Students can learn about nature through programs like researching on mangroves or designing the park. From 2019 on, over 3,000 students and teachers have taken part in educational activities about wetlands at the park.
|
A. China works hard to protect mangroves. B. The transportation became more convenient than before. C. People can join in games and create picture books about the animals. D. This decision helped to save the important mangrove ecosystem（生态系统）in the city. E. He felt very excited to see this kind of endangered birds. F. The city is home to 296.18 hectares of mangroves according to People’s Daily. |
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
What subject do you worry about the most at school? Many students worry about math. Some students can’t sleep well the day before a math exam. Others may feel very nervous during the exam itself. But there might be a way to make the subject less stressful.
“For students who are worried about math, posture（姿势）makes a big difference,” Erik Peper, a researcher from a university told Daily Mail. That’s right—sitting up straight can help you do better in math exams.
Researchers tested 125 college students. They asked them to do a math exam while sitting in a slumped-over（趴倒的）position, or sitting up straight. After the test, 56% of the students said the exam was easier to do if they were sitting up straight.
Slumping over is a defensive（防备的）posture. It can bring out negative（消极的）memories in the body and brain. This can stop you from thinking clearly, Peper said.
Students who were not nervous about taking the math exam didn’t necessarily benefit（受益）from better posture. But they did find that doing math in a slumped-over position was more difficult, Science Daily reported.
Good posture isn’t just helpful for taking math exams. Musicians, sports players and public speakers can all benefit from it. When you feel stressed out, you can also try to sit up straight or stand tall. It can help you feel more positive（积极的）and focus better.

The world’s best sportsmen get together for the Olympic Games every four years. The 2024 Olympic Games will take place in Paris, France. For the first time, people will watch breaking（霹雳舞）as a new event at the Olympics.
Breaking is also called break dancing. The high-energy, skillful dance includes moves such as Top Rock, Footwork, Go Down, Freeze and so on. The dancers need to think and show the moves of the hands and feet quickly.
Break dance battles（斗舞）are a common way to find out who is the best dancer. In the 1970s in New York City, fighting with others among young people became more and more serious. Some of them began to deal with the problem through dance instead. Just then, the dance style first showed up on the streets. Today people still “battle” in this way. One dancer will show off his moves, and then the next will continue to compete... The best dancer will be picked out finally.
Why does breaking become an Olympic event? If a sport is added to the Olympics, it must be widely practiced by men in at least 75 countries on four continents（洲）and by women in no fewer than 40 countries on three continents. Breaking meets this standard. Also, the planners’ goal is to make the Olympics more interesting to young people.
“Breaking has been accepted as a sport. I really feel proud,” said Xiaoyu, one breakdancer. “And for the Olympics, it will get more attention from young people who may not follow some of the traditional sports.”
根据短文内容，判断句子正（T）、误（F）。
（1）Footwork is one of the moves of breaking.
（2）Breaking first showed up on the streets in Paris in the 1970s.
（3）To be an Olympic event, a sport must be practiced by women in 75 countries.
（4）Xiaoyu really feels proud that breaking has been accepted as a sport.
（5）The writer mainly introduces the history of the Olympics in the passage.

“I used to take pictures for everyone else, but seldom turned my camera at my family members,” Yang said. “My grandson gave me the idea to record the growth and development of my own family.” Taking family photos then became a tradition for Yang’s family.

You need some bread and milk．But half an hour later，you leave the supermarket with a trolley（手推车） full of food．What games do supermarkets play to make us spend so much money？
The tricks usually start before you walk in．Outside the supermarket entrance，anybody who walks past can smell warm，fresh bread．That makes us hungry and ready to buy lots of food，not just bread．
Now you're inside and，of course，a small basket would be fine，but all they have are trolleys．And of course the problem with a trolley is that it looks sad and lonely with just one or two products inside．So we may fill it with something．In fact，supermarket trolleys are actually getting bigger so that we buy more．
Of course，many people shop in supermarkets because they think everything is cheaper than in other shops．So supermarkets offer very cheap prices on some things but then have higher prices for other products．One new trick is to put red stickers on products．Customers usually connect red stickers with lower prices so the red stickers is easy to be noticed，even when there is no reduction! Interestingly，this trick appears to work more with men than with women．
There is a story behind the position of everything in the supermarket．For example，customers often go only to buy milk．So they put it right at the back，forcing you to go past hundreds of shelves full of other products．The position of products on each shelf is also important．The most expensive products are usually at eye﹣level so you see these immediately．The exception is anything that children might like．These products are on lower shelves so that kids see them．
Apart from what you see and smell in a supermarket，what about what you listen to？In most supermarkets they have soft，slow music．It's so relaxing that you slow down and spend more time （and money） in the store．You also move more slowly when the supermarket is busy．Experts suggest it's better to shop when it's quieter，on a Monday or a Tuesday for example．And be careful with queues at the checkouts．These are sometimes deliberate（故意），to make you buy something from the checkout shelves while you wait．
So，next time you go into your local supermarket，remember these tricks and see if you can come with just the things you went for．
25．Smells from bread in the supermarket ．
A．make you feel hungry and buy more food

Literature is a word used to describe written as well as spoken material. Generally speaking, it is often used to describe anything from creative imagination, including works of poetry, drama and fiction.
Then why read literature, since it is often imaginary and seems unconnected with real life?
A lot of us read literature for enjoyment and relaxation. It’s always pleasant to read some interesting books in our spare time. In a modern life full of stress, it is our common wish to read some imaginary works and look for relaxation from the stress in life.
Reading literature is more than fun; it also allows us to get knowledge. As a general rule, literature represents a language of a people, and it often gives us an insight(洞察力) into the traditions, attitudes and values of the age in which it was written.
Sometimes literature can even offer us new, creative ways to have a better understanding of the world. It introduces us to new worlds of experiences. We enjoy the comedy and the tragedy of poems, stories and plays; and we may even grow through our literary journey with books. At last we may discover meaning in literature by looking at what the writer says and how he or she says it. In some ways, we explore the human condition and analyze(分析) the way they think and feel the way they feel. Literature helps us think clearly and encourages us to open minds.
So we can certainly say literature is of great importance to us. Why not get going with one poem, drama or fiction at once?
