A
Have you heard of a cloud forest? Is it the same as a rainforest? Actually, it’s a very special kind of forest in cloudy mountains． There, clouds brush through trees and wet their leaves． Rain falls almost every day． Hundreds of mosses (苔藓) grow and cover everything like a soft, green coat．
Plants of cloud forests live in an unusual way． They grow on the branches of trees instead of on the ground． The air is very damp, so plants can get all the water they need from the fog and rain． They live on the high parts of trees so that they can get more light to be stronger．
There are many kinds of special animals in cloud forests． For example, tree kangaroos live in trees like monkeys． They use their long tails to balance just as monkeys do． Frogs have suckers (吸盘) on their toes so they can climb up trees and cross leaves easily． Many other special animals are waiting for us to discover, aren’t they?
Cloud forests are important to people． They give us healthy food crops, such as wild beans, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes and strawberries． Furthermore, they offer new medicine to treat cancer． Unluckily, the beautiful forests are in danger now． Why? Firstly, the climate is getting warmer, but plants and animals in cloud forests like to live where it’s cool． It’s difficult for them to find a proper place to live in． Secondly, people cut down many trees to plant crops or feed cows． The animals are losing their homes．
Once cloud forests are gone, there must be a huge loss to humans． Save the cloud forests before it’s too late!
16． What kind of weather can be expected in a cloud forest?
A． It rains almost every day． B． It is always sunny． C． It is very windy． D． It is very cold．

19． Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A． We can use healthy food crops to make medicine for headache．
B． Hundreds of mosses grow because it’s always sunny in cloud forests．
C． The animals are losing their homes because people cut down many trees．
D． Plants need more water to be strong so they grow on the high parts of trees．
20． What’s the main purpose of this passage?

On Wednesday, August 7, China got its first-ever gold medal in artistic swimming at the Paris Olympic Games．
Among the impressive performers were twin sisters, Wang Liuyi and Wang Qianyi． Born in 1997 and grew up in Shenzhen, the sisters took an interest in artistic swimming when they came to Shenzhen sports team in 2005, asking to learn artistic swimming． The twins almost didn’t make it to the team because of their parents heights．
There is an unwritten rule in artistic swimming． If a sportswoman is less than 1．68 meters tall, she is unlikely to become a professional． The twins’ father is less than 1．7 meters tall, while their mother is a little taller than 1．6 metres, which means the daughters are unlikely to be tall enough．
However, the twins’ strong will and strengths impressed Hu, coach (教练) of Shenzhen team． She recalled that twins, who studied at Nanshan Foreign Languages School, went for training after school every day． At 20 years old, the twins grew to be 1．72 meters tall． They were among the tallest when joining the national artistic swimming team in 2017．
With good physical quality and willingness to bear hardships, through years of hard training, they became key players and got a lot of medals． In 2010, the twins won the gold medal at the provincial games． They also won a gold and a bronze medal at the national games in 2013 and 2017． Then, they won four gold medals at the 2022 World Championships in Hungary and a gold in the duet event at the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games, winning the right for the Paris Olympics．

When the midday nap bell rings, Geng Xian from a foreign language school in Shenzhen pulls out the footrest (搁脚板), reclines (靠) on her chair and lies back for a nap with her classmates．

According to Xu Weimin, a sleep expert in Shanghai, lying down for a nap brings physical and mental benefits． “It can relax the muscles and improve blood flow to the brain,” Xu told Xinhua News．
However, there has also been some worry about the reclining chairs． “Some students might lean back even during class, so it needs effective (有效的) management,” Chu Peilu, an English teacher said． “But in all, I think it brings more good than bad．”
