About 38,500 kinds of animals in the world are in danger. Now, you can learn about them and help them by playing a card game.
Jackson Mann is 15 years old. He is the starter of the card game called“SOS: Save Our Species(物种)”. He hopes that people can do something for endangered(濒危的) species after playing the game.
In the game, players need to collect endangered species and match them with their right habitats(栖息地). The more endangered the species are, the more points players can get. The game finishes when there are no more cards. And the player with the most points wins the game.
Jackson had the idea for the game on a family trip to Central America three years ago. “We saw lots of wildlife and played lots of card games,” said Jackson. “I thought that it would be great if people could play cards and learn about endangered species at the same time.”
Jackson's card games began to sell from July 8,2022. So far, he has made over 11,700 to help save animals in danger.
21. What is the purpose of the card game“SOS”

C. At the age of 12. D. At the age of 15.

Most of us cannot imagine modern life without social media (社交媒体). We use it almost every day in order to keep up with what is happening in our friends’ lives, or find out the latest information.
The greatest advantage of social media is that we can connect with people much more easily. We are still able to keep in touch with our friends if they are far away. Also, it makes it easier for us to make friends, especially for those who are afraid of making friends face to face. Are you shy If yes, social media has probably helped.
Social media is also ideal for making yourself heard. Anyone with a voice can express(表达) it. Anyone with a talent is free to show it. Moreover, anyone with a smartphone and the Internet can be a reporter. As a result, it has become much faster to cover the news than ever before.
Social media, on the other hand, can make us less confident sometimes. A study found that the more a person uses social media, the sadder he feels about his own life. One reason for this is that people around us put colourful information and perfect pictures online in order to show off their best moments. So we often get an incorrect sense of how wonderful their lives are, compared to our own.
Social media does not cause sadness; it simply provides a tool for us to use. Is it good or bad Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai says, “What is interesting is the power and influence of social media. We must try to use social media in a good way”. After all, you decide how you use this powerful tool.
26. What can't people do with the social media according to the passage
A. Make friends. B. Be a reporter. C. Show his talent. D. Do the housework.
27. What is the greatest advantage of social media according to the passage
A. Expressing our voices freely. B. Showing our talents to others.
C. Recording the best side of our life. D. Connecting with people more easily.
28. Why may a person be less confident on the social media according to Paragraph 4
A. Because he can't make friends face to face.
B. Because he can't make money on the Internet.
C. Because of the incorrect sense of other people's lives.
D. Because of the unhappy moments with his friends.
29. Which picture shows the structure of the passage (①= Paragraph 1,…)
30. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage
A. Social media: Our friend or enemy B. Social media: To use or not to use
C. Social media: Connecting the world D. Social media: Making yourself heard
C
The Maya (玛雅) number system(体系) appeared in the fourth century, which was about 1,000 years earlier than the time when the European number system was created. It is different from the Arabic number system with a base 10 (十进制). The Mayan system had a base 20. This system is believed to have been used because the Mayans lived in such a warm area and there was hardly a need to wear shoes, 20 was the total number of fingers and toes, so the system was workable. Therefore, there were two important numbers in this system. Besides 20, the other important number is 5, which had a connection with the number of fingers and toes on one hand or foot.
The Mayan system used two symbols (符号). A dot (.) was used to mean the units ( one to four) and a dash (—) meant five. The Mayans were also the first to create symbols of nothing ( or zero). The most common symbol was that of a shell but there were several other symbols. It is interesting to learn that with all of the great experts on Maths and scientists in ancient Greece and Rome, it was the Mayan Indians who came up with this symbol zero or nothing. The following picture is a form of different numbers and how they would have been written.
From further study, people found that the 360 day calendar(日历) also came from the Mayan. They actually used base 18 when they made the calendar. Each month included 20 days with 18 months in a year. This left five days at the end of the year which was month in itself, full of danger and bad luck. In this way, the Mayans had invented the 365 day calendar.
31. What does the underlined“It” in paragraph 1 refer to
A. The European number system. B. The Mayan number system.
C. The Arabic number system. D. The wreck number system.
32. Why was the number 5 important in the Mayan number system
A. Because it was the number of days in a week.
B. Because it was the number of days in a month.
C. Because it was the number of fingers and toes on one hand or foot.
D. Because it was the number of months in a year.
33. In the Mayan number system, which of the following symbols means sixteen
34. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A. The Mayan number system had a base 10.
B. All number systems had the same symbols.
C. There were only 360 days in the Mayan calendar.
D. The symbol of zero first appeared in the Mayan number system.
35. The article is probably from .
A. a diary B. an encyclopedia C. a travel guide D. a computer magazine

Do you have trouble creating a big idea 36
Scientists have found a connection between daydreaming and creative problem-solving. 37 They had to think of as many ways as they could. Then, before solving the difficult problem again, they chose to do one
of the following things: work out a difficult problem, work out an easy one, or take a 12-minute break.
38 Many students reported that they were daydreaming when doing the easy task. So the scientists believed that daydreaming might help them become more creative.
But how could daydreaming help the brain think creatively 39 Even when you are
not actively working on a problem, it is still in the back of your mind. Your brain is still thinking about it, but you are unaware of it.
Great ideas never come easily, but that does not mean you always have to work hard to get them. 40 .
A. Surprisingly, the best group was the one that chose the easy problem. B. Just do what you want and let your mind feel free. C. Perhaps you can try daydreaming. D. Their study includes asking a group of students to solve a difficult problem. E. Have you ever created any big idea F. The answer is something known as“unconscious thought”(无意识思维).
