Baby panda says hello to the world

1.The helmet (头盔) made of ice makes the mascot in fashion. It looks like a spaceman in a space.

Bing Dwen Dwen waves its left hand to say hello. There are two red hearts in the hand, showing its kindness and love. A group of lines with different colors around its head look like the tracks (赛道) on an ice rink. 2.它们组成了五个圆圈。 They also stand for fast 5 G signals (信号)。

Three years ago, Bing Dwen Dwen became the mascot (吉祥物) for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. The design comes from 5, 816 works from 38 countries and areas. Cao Xue, the chief designer (设计师) of Bing Dwen Dwen, said the idea first came from the traditional Chinese snack bingtanghulu. 3.But a simple snack couldn’t stand for a country by itself. Cao’s team tried many animals and plants and finally decided on a panda.

However, there were already too many cartoon images of pandas. Cao first decided that it should be a baby panda instead of an adult one, 4.因此它的身体和它的头是一样的长。

Cao’s team looked all over the world to collect all the panda designs they could find. They wanted to make sure their panda looked special. They visited the panda nature reserve in Wolong, Sichuan, to get ideas. They found that baby pandas are pigeon-toed (内八字) and often lean in while standing. Now the panda in an ice shell is made into toys and models, as well as printed on notebooks, badges (徽章) and bags. People of all ages like them very much. “5.Design is like dancing with chains. I’m glad we performed a good dance.” Cao said.

24、According to research, an average American kid watches TV for about 3 to 4 hours a day. That means he or she spends more than one and a half months a year in front of the TV. But some American kids are just saying “No” to TV.

Take Meghan Kelley from Pembroke, Massachusetts for example. She used to spend a lot of her free time in front of the TV. But several years ago, Meghan gave up her TV habits. Her days of watching TV ended when she and her classmates took part in Screen-Free Week. Screen-Free Week is on the first week of May every year. It is an event where children, families and schools are encouraged to turn off their TVs, computers, DVD players, iPads and so on and “turn on life” — read, enjoy nature, and spend time with family and friends.

After the first week, Meghan decided to test herself further. “I wanted to see how long I could go without TV,” said Meghan. “Could I do it for a year?” The answer was yes!

Although sometimes she misses TV, Meghan finds life without TV more interesting. She joined two soccer clubs and now plays basketball. Because Meghan is studying more, she’s also getting much better grades.

根据短文内容，判断句子正（A）误（B）。

【1】An average American kid watches TV for more than 20 hours a week.

【3】Screen-Free Week helped Meghan Kelley give up her TV habits.

【5】Meghan Kelley has never missed TV since she gave up her TV habits.

26、I have a special place in my heart for libraries. I have for as long as I can remember. I was always a crazy reader, sometimes reading up to three books a day as a child. Stories were like air to me and while other kids played ball or went to parties, I lived out adventures through the books I checked out from the library.

My first job was working at the Ukiah Library when I was 16 years old. It was a dream job and I did everything from shelving books to reading to the children for story time.

As I grew older and became a mother, the library took on a new place and an added meaning in my life. I had several children and books were our main source (来源) of entertainment. It was a big deal for us to go to the local library, where my kids could pick out books to read or books they wanted me to read to them.

I always read, using different voices, as if I were acting out the stories with my voice and they loved it! It was a special time to spend with my children and it filled them with the wonderment of books.

Now, I see my children taking their children to the library and I love that the excitement of going to the library lives on from generation (代) to generation.

As a novelist, I’ve found a new relationship with libraries. ①I encourage readers to go to their local library when they can’t afford to buy a book. ②I see libraries as a safe haven (避风港) for readers and writers, a bridge that helps put together a reader with a book. Libraries, in their own way, help fight book piracy (盗版行为). ③We can encourage readers to use the library. Share library announcements on your social media. ④Go to them and talk about them when you can.

【1】What does the underlined phrase “an added meaning” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A．Pleasure from working in the library.

B．Joy of reading passed on in the family.

C．Wonderment from acting out the stories.

D．A closer relationship developed with the readers.

【2】The following sentence would best be placed at _________.

I think all writers should support libraries in an important way when they can.

A．①

B．②

C．③

D．④

【3】Which can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Reading: A Source of Knowledge

B．My Idea about Writing

C．Library: A Haven for the Young

D．My Love of the Library

27、(One day, Gulliver was caught in a storm and his ship hit a rock, then broken. He was washed to the beach by the sea wave and soon fell asleep. When he woke up, he found himself in Lilliput and a lot of people were around him and all of the people he saw were just the same size as mice.)

The emperor spoke in such a high voice. His followers and all the ladies wore rich and beautiful clothes. The ground where they were standing looked like gold and silver cloth.

The emperor and I communicated with each other but neither of us understood a single word. I tried words from my languages—French, Spanish, Italian and Latin. No one could understand my words, even the emperor’s cleverest followers.

After about two hours of useless communication, the emperor, his wife and their servants decided to leave, and only six strong guards (卫兵) were left around me. This was to stop me from running away and later, they would think up ways to kill me.

These six guards were trying to give me some punishment. To scare them, I put five of them in my pocket. Then I pretended (假装) to eat the sixth man. The poor man shouted terribly when he saw my knife in my hand. But I only cut the binding (捆绑物) around his hands. Then I put him on my feet and let him go. I lifted the other five men out of my pocket and put them gently on the ground, too.

The people and soldiers were very surprised at what I did. They told the emperor about it quickly. After hearing this, the emperor ordered his men to make a bed for me to have a rest and they had to put six hundred of theirs together to make one for me.
