11、 “I am the king of the forest. I will never _20_ you on my branches.”And so, the bird came next to a white birch tree. The birch tree thought it was the _21_ tree in all the land. When the little bird asked for help, the birch tree said, “Go away from me! You will get _22_ and eat my leaves. I must

20、ns exist in both the Eastern and Western world. Some people say that there used to be real dragons, but most agree that they were imaginary creatures*.Chinese dragons, which appeared eight thousand years ago, are usually considered to be kind. People say that they bring strength, peace, good luck, a
21、nd health. In ancient China, the dragon was a symbol of the Chinese emperors. Some Chinese people believe that dragons live under water most of the time. Unlike European dragons, they do not have wings and fly using magic. The Chinese dragon, sometimes called the Eastern dragon, looks like a long sn
22、ake with four claws. Its appearance has kept changing with time and its hard to find a creature in real life that looks exactly the same as the dragon. In the Chinese zodiac, people born in the “Year of the Dragon” are said to be lucky, brave, healthy, energetic and excitable. The Dragon person can
23、make great achievements in life if he or she knows how to make the best use of his or her huge energy, intelligence and talent.In Europe, dragons are usually seen as terrible and unkind winged creatures which are different from those in China. Western dragons tend to have many heads, fire-breathing,
24、 and are known to eat humans. Many European stories have brave knights*fighting terrible dragons. Some European dragons are also described as strong and smart creatures. Any knight who killed a dragon was able to get not only its treasure but also its wisdom.Although there are differences between Ch
25、inese dragons and Western ones, the dragon is undoubtedly a beloved existence in many tales across the world.34The Chinese dragon is a kind of creature that _ according to the passage.Ahas many headsBlives above waterChas no wingsDflies without magic35We can infer from the passage that _.Amost Europ

27、passage?AThe History of DragonsBThe Culture of DragonsCThe Symbols of DragonsDThe Changes of DragonsDavid, a policeman, came to a small wooden house about two miles up the mountain to get Cal Richards, an armed and dangerous killer. Through a broken window, he saw an old man watching him closely. Wh
28、en he stepped into the house, he found the old man was holding a gun in his hand. “Government man, arent you?” said the old man.“Yes,” David replied with a friendly smile. “You must be a Pappy Richards.”“Sure. Im Cals pa. And youre not going to get him.” The gun pointed at David.David looked around
29、the house and didnt see any sign of Cal. “Ive been to do it,” he said. “But I can see he isnt here today. I guess Ill have to come again.” Just the he caught sight of a violin hanging on the wall. “Who plays the violin?” he asked. For a moment there was silence. In fact, Cals pa played the violin be
30、st in the area, but he did not answer, with his gun still pointing at David.David crossed the room to the instrument and felt sweat (汗) on his forehead, but he took the violin from the wall as calmly as if he were a welcome visitor. He began to play the violin, one tune (曲子) after another. He was pl
31、aying better than he had ever played in his life. The old man stood there, attracted. The hatred (仇恨) in his eyes was giving way to a look of wonder. The gun was now pointed towards the floor. He began to beat time, tapping one foot on the dirt floor. When the final notes of the tune died away, the
32、old man placed the gun in a corner.“Well, stranger,” the old man said,“ you play the violin excellently. Maybe youll stay for dinner and play some more for me.”After they had eaten, they sat in the spring sunshine outside the house. They talked about violin tunes. Not a word was said about Cal Richa
33、rds. About two hours later, David stood up and said, “Sorry! I must be getting back to the town.”The old man sat, deep in thought. At last, he said, “I like the way you talk, and I like the way you play the violin. I guess youre a good guy.” He paused as if it were hard to go on. Then, he said in a
34、thick voice, “Iwell, Ill have a talk with Cal. I think he might give himself up tomorrow. You should be at the police station at noon.”The next day, as the town clock struck twelve, an old man came up the street towards the police station. With him was a young fellow whose appearance told of many da

At fir
38、st, that might sound like a strange question. After all, sand covers beaches and deserts across the world.In the building field alone, 40-50 billion tonnes of sand is used around the world every year. This is because concrete (混凝土) is usually made up of about 25% sand. Many of us dont realize that s
39、and is also used for things like smartphones, TV screens, solar panels and other electric items.The problem is that most desert or beach sand is unsuitable. Desert sand is too smooth and beach sand has too much salt in it. This means that sand is usually got from rivers. However, it has caused terri
40、ble environmental damage. _.To try to reduce the need for sand, a growing number of researchers are turning to technology and new ways. These include Dr John Orr at Cambridge University. “We found that the plastic can replace 10% of the sand in concrete and it has the same strength and longevity.” s
41、ays Dr John Orr. “That saves a huge amount of sand and helps to reduce a vast amount of plastic waste.” At the same time, other research is being done into using other waste materials in concrete to replace sand, such as old car tyres or glass.Dr Orr points out that changes in building design is a m
42、ore viable (可行的) long-term solution. “They use too much concrete. This is a much bigger problem. There are a lot of good things happening to building design and manufacture,” he says, “but nothing important is really happeningreally tiny and very experimental.”It will require efforts from individual
43、s (个人), governments and international organizations to reduce global needs for sand. Here is an example of the actin everyone can take. A 10% reduction in the number of cars on the road means 10% fewer houses with garage and driveways that need to be built. That is millions of tonnes of concrete eve
44、ry year.Sand is really just a symptom of a larger problem. We should be acting to deal with overconsumption of natural resources. A lot of these problems are closely connected and the solutions have to be as well.42According to the passage, what is sand mainly used for?AThe building field.BIndustry.
45、CThe electric items.DAgriculture.43Which of the following is suitable for the blank in Paragragh 3?ASo sand is becoming more and more expensive at present.BIn a word, a lot of scientists are trying to improve our environment.CTherefore, some countries dont have enough desert or beach sand.DAs a resu
46、lt, many countries have introduced sand bans(禁令) in recent years.44Which word has a similar meaning to the underlined word overconsumption?Ausing too muchBprotectionCwasteDdiscovery45Which of the following statement is true?AUsing too much sand leads to using up all the planets resources.BDr John Orr expects changes in building design using less concrete.CResearch has found that waste materials like glass can replace sand.DDr John Orr has found plastic waste can replace 10% of the conc
