Here is an experiment (实验) to see how ants can organize some clever teamwork.
1. First you need some ants. You may have to wait until the summer to find them on paths around your home. 2. When you have found an ant, put a thin slice of fruit in front of it. It may eat some of it or carry bits away. 3. Check the fruit after an hour. Have other ants been attracted to it If so, what are they doing 4. When there are lots of ants，move the fruit to a new position, a little to the side. What do the ants do
What’s going on You can see one of the best examples of insect teamwork by watching ants. If one ant finds food, it leads others there to eat it too. They follow each other by making long trails. The ants go back and forth collecting food, to take back to their nest （穴）. When you move the fruit, the ants will still find it. But instead of making a new direct route to the food, they will follow each other through their old trail route.
46. What will happen if one ant finds food
A. The ant will eat all the food. B. The ant will watch other ants.
C. The ant will lead others to the food. D. The ant will wait until others come.
47. If the fruit is moved to a new position, the ants will _________.
A. fail to find it B. give up looking for it
C. make a new direct route to it D. get to it through the old trail route
48. What can we learn from the experiment
A. The experiment is done successfully in the lab
B. Ants do the experiment to show their team spirit
C. Careful watching does little help in the experiment
D. We can find out some facts by doing small experiements

The year of the Dragon begins on February 10, 2024. The Dragon is the fifth sign of the Chinese Zodiac (生肖). Dragons are not real animals. Chinese dragons can fly in the sky or swim in the sea. In stories, dragons rule over water, rainfall, wind and flood.
The Chinese dragon is a symbol of strength and good luck. The emperors of ancient China loved dragons. Their clothes were covered with pictures of yellow dragons. The dragon is very important in Chinese culture. We Chinese people are proud to call ourselves “the descendants (传人) of the dragon”. A number of Chinese sayings refer to dragons. For example, “Hoping one’s child will become a dragon”, which means hoping he or she will be successful.
Unlike in China, dragons are seen differently in Western countries. Western dragons often look like dinosaurs. They breathe fire and catch people. It is a common fairy tale about a man who becomes a hero after killing a dragon and saving a princess. In the English movie How to Train Your Dragon (《驯龙记》), a little boy becomes much braver by killing some bad dragons. In one of the Harry Potter stories, Harry Potter has to fight against a scary dragon and get back the golden egg from its nest.
Because of this, some Chinese experts have suggested changing the English word “Dragon” into its pinyin “Long”. They believe the name “Dragon” makes Western people think badly about China. But some don’t agree. They think Chinese people can look after their own culture. Many Western people already know the differences between Chinese dragons and Western ones.
49. Which power of dragons is NOT mentioned in Chinese stories
A. They can fly in the sky. B. They can swim in the sea.
C. They can rule water and wind. D. They can catch and eat people.
50. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE
A. There are many Chinese sayings about dragons.
B. The Dragon is the first sign of the Chinese Zodiac.
C. Harry Potter becomes much braver by killing some bad dragons.
D. Emperors in China liked wearing clothes with red dragon pictures.
51. Why do Chinese experts suggest changing “Dragon” into Chinese pinyin “Long”
A. Because Chinese are proud of their own pinyin.
B. Because dragon makes Western people think highly of China.
C. Because Western people know nothing about Chinese culture.
D. Because “Dragon” in Western countries doesn’t carry the same cultural meanings as in
China.

①A couple of good friends take an easy walk together through the streets. This is what many young people in China enjoy doing when they visit a new city.
②To them, Citywalk means “wandering around the city” on foot. People can go a special way. They can visit the old buildings, go to the local shops, have a cup of coffee or try tasty local snacks.
③Citywalk can be a special guided trip for a small group of people. The trip sticks to the key point: avoiding famous tourist attractions (名胜) and big crowds to have a deeper experience of the places you visit.
④In China, Citywalk is spreading from big cities like Beijing and Shanghai to smaller cities. Some organizers invite folk culture researchers and lovers to act as tour guides. Xiao Yiyi is a young girl in Changsha. Recently, she sent six Citywalk plans in different cities on the Internet, with the aim of providing experiences for visitors to “walk in open-air museums”.
⑤Her Changsha route includes more special sights, such as historical buildings from the 19th century and old streets. They even stop to taste the local spicy crayfish (麻辣小龙虾) along the way. Xiao Yiyi said her group is usually made up of about twelve people. Her events last about half a day. As we can see, Citywalk offers people a new way to make friends.

请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。
I am a skateboarding coach, I give classes to teenagers interested in skateboarding. I also founded (创办) a skateboarding club in Beijing.
I started to learn skateboarding at 16 when I tried it with a friend. I love the sport because it is a great way to express myself. I have the freedom to develop my unique (独特的) style, showing my creativity and personality through tricks and even the way I design my boards.
I hope to share my love for skateboarding with others so I founded the OBT skate boarding club in Beijing and became a skateboarding coach after graduating from college. It’s not easy to start a career like this. I faced many challenges, from financial struggles (财务困境) to making my parents see that skateboarding was a promising skill to learn. But I never give it up. Luckily, in the past few years, skateboarding has become more and more popular in China. More teenagers and parents come to my club to learn this cool sport.
The classes begin with basic skills, such as rolling, turning, stopping and balancing. But I hope kids take up skateboarding for both athleti (运动的) and personal growth. It’s common for my students to fall when they practice. But they need to know they will fail and fail again, but they are going to get it. If they don’t try and fail, they will never grow and learn.
I am optimistic (乐观的) about the future of skateboarding instructors. In the past two years, more than 6 million people started skateboarding in China, and most of them are between 8 and 12 years old. With the increasing popularity of the sport, I believe there will be an even greater need for skateboarding coaches in the years to come.
