But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in yo
16、ur hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop
17、of water on the back of your hand, too. All children soon learn what “Dont touch！” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things as we might buy food, clothes and so on. To see something well, we have to touch it. There are ways of learnin
18、g to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to them! Most museums are just for looking. But
19、today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, “Do touch！” There you can feel everything on show. If we want to see better, reach out and touch.

But across the Yellow Sea, South Korea, wrestling and swing play are the highlights. However, both e
23、vents go by the same name-the Dragon Boat Festival-which falls on May 5 of the lunar calendar. One festival, two cultures: does one nation have the right to call its own? It has been reported that South Korea will apply to the UNESCO to make the celebration its cultural heritage. If successful, peop
24、le from other countries may see the Dragon Festival as a Korean creation. As the birthplace of the yearly event more than 2,000 years ago, China is not happy with the situation. “It would be a shame if another country successfully made a traditional Chinese festival part of its own cultural heritage
25、 ahead of China,“ said Zhou Heping, deputy culture minister. The Ministry of Culture is even thinking of making its own application to UNESCO, covering all traditional Chinese festivals, including the Dragon Boat event. Over the years, the Dragon Boat Festival has spread throughout the world. In Jap
26、an and Viet Nam, as well as South Korea, the festival has mixed with and become part of local culture. With this in mind, some experts say that it is meaningless to argue about which country the festival belongs to. “No one can deny that it came from China,“ said Long Haiqing, an expert from Hunan P
27、rovince. “But if all the countries involved can protect culture heritage together, they will all benefit.“ 1. The underlined word “highlights“ can be probably replaced by “_“.

If South Koreas application to UNESCO is successful, _. A. China will also make its own application to U
30、NESCO B. it will be meaningless to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival C. people from other parts of the world will think South Korea created the festival D. the Dragon Boat Festival will become part of local culture 5. The author would probably support_. A. a move by South Korea to cancel its applic
31、ation B. China getting UNESCOs approval of the festival first C. the opinion of Zhou Heping D. China paying more attention to its cultural heritage 答: ABACA E In nature, you may see many insects and animals of different colors. Have you ever wondered why? Locusts are super delicious food for birds,
32、but it is not always an easy job for birds to catch them. It is neither because locusts are good jumpers or runners nor because they are smarter than their enemies. The reason is that the colors of locusts change with the colors of crops. When crops are young, locusts look green. But when autumn com
33、es, locusts change to the yellow and brown color as crops do. Butterflies and bees living among the flowers are colorful like flowers. Brown bears, tigers and other animals move quietly through forests. They cant be seen easily by their game. This is because they have colors similar to the trees. Fo
34、r the same reason, polar bears that live on a land of snow and ice are white. Have you ever noticed some even stranger acts? The ink fish in the sea can send out some very black ink when it faces danger. As the ink spreads over, its enemies will find themselves suddenly in a dark world. At the same
35、time the ink fish immediately swims away. That is how it keeps itself safe though it is not strong at all. ( )1. Birds cant catch locusts easily because_.

Some insects and animals have different skills. B. Some insects and animals are clever than we think. C. Some insects and animals use colors to pr

There are a number of different recycling processes that allow materials to be used more than once. All kinds of materials can be recycled.
39、Some of the most common processes in use today involve recycling plastic, glass, metals, paper, electronics and so on. Items made of these materials include soda cans, plastic boxes, newspapers, old computers, and cardboard boxes. There are many steps in recycling. It isnt actually a simple process
40、and is different for each type of material. For example, paper starts its recycling process by being mixed with water and other chemicals to break it down. This process finally turns the paper into a pulp. Then remove the plastics and other useless materials from the pulp. After that, it gets cleane
41、d. Now the pulp is ready to be made into new paper. However, computers and batteries are usually recycled in order to remove harmful chemicals as well as to find again some valuable materials such as gold. In general, we should follow different steps in the recycling process. These steps are: Collec
42、ting recyclable materials, like cans and plastic bottles. Processing the old materials and making new items. Buying items made from recycled materials. （ ）1. What is recycling? A.
