A 一 二 三 四 五 六 B（2022·福建） On the afternoon of March 23， 2022， Chinese astronauts on board China’s Tiangong space station gave a science lesson 400 kilometres above the Earth. It was a great success. Do you still remember the first space lesson hosted by Wang Yaping in 2013？ Helped by the other two astronauts， she gave the lesson to more than 60 million school children all over the country. 一 二 三 四 五 六 While watching the science lesson from the Tiangong-1 on the morning of June 20， 2013， Wang Lutian， a 10-year-old disabled student at a special school in downtown Beijing， was drawing a colourful rocket with crayons in his classroom. “The Moon ...stars ...a rocket to the sky，” Wang explained his work in a cheerful voice. At that time， he and more than 100 other disabled students were enjoying the lesson given by Wang Yaping， who talked about movements in microgravity（微重力） environments. 一 二 三 四 五 六 “Zero gravity！” Qian Shaohong， another student at the school， shouted when he saw astronaut Nie Haisheng making a show of crossing his legs in mid-air. “Scientific knowledge has helped open a window for the children to know about the world，” said Zhang Yini， a teacher at the school. 一 二 三 四 五 六 The lesson also increased interest in space science among teenagers living on the “roof（屋脊） of the world”. “I was most interested in the presentation of the ‘water ball’ in a gravity-free environment. It’s really amazing，” said Rigzin Jigme Doje， a high school student in Lhasa， Xizang.

When he was 17， he travelled across Europe and Asia along the Silk Road with his father who wanted to do business with the Chinese. Finally they arrived in Beijing. They were guests at the emperor’s palace. Although Marco was young， he was very clever and could speak four languages. The emperor was impressed by him and they became friends. He asked Marco to serve in his court and sent him to do many important tasks across the country. 一 二 三 四 五 六 Marco was amazed by how beautiful China was. He was impressed by Beijing and the emperor’s palace， especially the palace which he described as “the greatest palace that I’ve ever seen ...The walls were covered with gold and silver and the hall was so large that it could easily seat 6，000 people for dinner.”. 一 二 三 四 五 六 There were inventions and developments in China which couldn’t be found in Europe at that time. Marco was surprised to see Chinese people use paper money in the markets. In Europe， people paid for goods with gold and silver. He could not understand how people paid for food and valuable things with paper！ He was also puzzled by the black stones people used to burn to produce heat. The black stones were coal， but Marco had never seen coal before！ 一 二 三 四 五 六 After 17 years of service to the emperor， Marco started to return to Italy. He was then a very wealthy man. A writer wrote down all the stories that Marco had told him in a book called The Description of the World， which became one of the best-selling books in Europe. Although people enjoyed reading the book， many of them thought that Marco’s stories about China were too fantastic to be true. But Marco always stood by his tales. Just before he died， aged 70， Marco was asked the question， “Was it all true？” He answered， “I have only told a half of what I saw！” 一 二 三 四 五 六 （　A　）37.

A B 一 二 三 四 五 六 （　B　）39. Why did Marco Polo travel to China with his father？ A. Because he just wanted to go travelling. B. Because his father wanted to do business with the Chinese. C. Because he wanted to serve in the court. D. Because he wanted to write a book. B 一 二 三 四 五 六 （　D　）40. Which of the following statements is NOT true about Marco Polo’s answer？ A.

D 一 二 三 四 五 六 D（2023·济南） “Higher temperatures and shorter winters might sound like the end of snowy days. However， rising temperatures may actually cause snowstorms to dump more snow，” says David Robinson. He is a professor at a university in New Jersey. He studies climate change. 一 二 三 四 五 六 Temperature change has been one principal manifestation in the Earth’s climate change over a long period of time. It can happen naturally or because of human activities， such as burning gas and coal. Burning these fuels produces carbon dioxide（二氧化碳） and other pollutants into the atmosphere， which hold heat in the atmosphere， leading to higher global temperatures over time. 一 二 三 四 五 六 But how could higher temperatures lead to more snow？ “To get snow， you need moisture（水汽） and freezing temperatures（0℃ or less），” says Robinson. Without moisture in the air， there is no precipitation（rain or snow）. Robinson says there are signs that snowstorms are becoming stronger. This is because of this connection between moisture and precipitation. 一 二 三 四 五 六 “The warmer the air becomes， the more moisture it holds. So， if it’s warming and still cold enough to snow， you can get more snow，” Robinson says. Of the 10 biggest snowfalls in D.C.， five happened in the past 25 years， according to the NWS. During that same time period， average winter temperatures in D.C. increased. In 1996， the average winter temperature was 1.8℃. In 2020， it was 6℃. 一 二 三 四 五 六 Weather experts say that rising temperatures may make winter shorter and less cold. But for now， the snow is still falling. One day， winter might not have any days below the freezing temperature. Once temperatures stay above freezing， snowstorms become rain. Until then， we might continue to see strong storms. According to Robinson， that time could come sooner than we think. He says， “When we look back， years from now， we may see that this was the breaking point.” 一 二 三 四 五 六 （　B　）41. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about？ A. How the Earth’s climate changes. B. What causes rising temperatures. C. What produces carbon dioxide. D. How pollution influences the climate. （　D　）42. What will the higher temperatures cause according to the text？ A. Less coal. B. Drier weather. C. Longer winters. D. Stronger snowstorms. B D 一 二 三 四 五 六 （　C　）43. What is the purpose of Paragraph 5？ A. To introduce D.C. B. To report the biggest 10 snowstorms. C. To support Robinson’s ideas. D. To show the increase of temperatures. （　B　）44. What does Robinson think of the future higher temperatures？ A. Impossible. B. Serious. C. Meaningless. D. Amazing. C B 一 二 三 四 五 六 （　A　）45. Where is the text probably taken from？ A. A science magazine. B. A storybook. C. A cookbook. D. A travel guide.
