The words “clear” and “bright” describe the weather during this period. Temperatures begin to rise and rainfall increases, making it an important time for growing crops in the spring. As is known, it is a time to worship ancestors (祭拜祖先). However, here are some things you may not know about Clear and Bright. Spring Outings Not only is it a period to honor the dead, but it is also time for people to go out and enjoy nature. As trees turn green, flowers come out, and the sun shines brightly, everything returns to life. It is a fine time to enjoy the beauty of nature. Flying Kites Flying kites is an activity loved by many Chinese during Tomb-Sweeping Day. Kites are not only flown during the day time but also in the evening. Little lanterns are tied to the kites. And when the kites are flying in the sky, the lanterns look like twinkling stars at night. What makes flying kites during this day special is that people cut the string while the kite is in the sky to let it fly freely. It is said that this brings good luck and that diseases can be driven away by doing this. Cuju Cuju is an interesting game played during this period. Ju is a ball made of leather with hairs in it. It is said that the Yellow Emperor first invented it for training warriors. Later, Cuju was used by people to build up their bodies when they were unable to eat hot food during the Cold Food Festival. Qingtuan In the lower parts of the Yangtze River region, qingtuan is very popular on Tomb-Sweeping Day. Qingtuan is a kind of round green cake. In order to make the cakes, people mash (捣碎) barnyard grass (艾草) to squeeze juice from it and mix the flour and juice to a paste. Then they put fillings into the paste and steam them. Pretty and delicate, qingtuan tastes special. 26. What is special about flying kites during Clear and Bright? A. Flying kites to bring good luck. B. Cutting the kite string to let it fly freely. C.

It was set up in 2010. They made smartphones and many other cool gadgets (电子装置) at the beginning. With the development of the times, Xiaomi decided to do something big and different. They created their very first electric car, called the SU7, and started selling it to people. The boss of Xiaomi, a man named Lei Jun, told everyone that the starting price of this new car would be 215,900 yuan (almost $30,000). It was a big event, and people were very excited. In just 27 minutes, more than 50,000 people ordered the new car. Now, Xiaomi isn’t the only company making electric cars. There are other big names like Tesla and BYD. Tesla is a car made in America, and it’s known for being fast and modern. The price to start for a Tesla 3 is a bit higher, 245,900 yuan. But Xiaomi’s car, the SU7, can go really, really far, at least 700 kilometers on one charge (充电)! That’s more than the Tesla Model 3, which can only go 567 kilometers. At the same time, Xiaomi is thinking about how their customers use their phones and computers. They made the SU7’s brain (operating system) work like the ones in Xiaomi’s phones and laptops (手提电脑). This way, people can get everything connected and easy to use. Xiaomi has big dreams for their electric car business, but no one knows yet whether they will succeed. Some analysts (分析师) think that Xiaomi’s big idea will help make electric cars better and more exciting for everyone. So, what do you think? Will Xiaomi’s SU7 develop faster than Tesla and become the king of electric cars? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure: the world of electric cars just got a lot more interesting. 29. What kind of products did Xiaomi mainly use to make? A. Electric cars. B. Operating systems. C. Xiaomi smartphones. D. Xiaomi laptops. 30. The starting price for a Xiaomi SU7 is than that for a Tesla Model 3. A. lower B. higher C. more expensive D. much cheaper 31. What can we infer from the passage? A. The SU7 runs much faster than Tesla Model 3. B. All the people want to own an SU7 right now. C. The writer is proud of Xiaomi’s achievement. D. Xiaomi won’t make phones and laptops any more. 32. You may read the passage in the section of a newspaper. A. science B. travel C. culture D. history 【答案】29. C 30. A 31. C 32. A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了中国科技公司小米在2010年创立后，从生产智能手机和其他电子产品扩展到制造其首款电动车SU7的历程，以及这款电动车与特斯拉等竞争对手的对比和小米在电动车领域的愿景。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“They made smartphones and many other cool gadgets (电子装置) at the beginning.”可知，小米过去主要制造智能手机和其他电子装置。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The boss of Xiaomi, a man named Lei Jun, told everyone that the starting price of this new car would be 215,900 yuan (almost $30,000).”及“The price to start for a Tesla 3 is a bit higher, 245,900 yuan.”可知，小米SU7比Tesla Model 3的起售价更低。故选A。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据“But Xiaomi’s car, the SU7, can go really, really far, at least 700 kilometers on one charge (充电)! That’s more than the Tesla Model 3”可知，小米SU7充一次电跑得比Tesla Model 3还要远，并不是跑得比它快，排除选项A；根据“In just 27 minutes, more than 50,000 people ordered the new car.”可知，只有大约五万人下订单，并不是每个人都想立马拥有这台车，排除选项B；根据“They made the SU7’s brain (operating system) work like the ones in Xiaomi’s phones and laptops (台式电脑).”可知，文章只提及汽车的操作系统像小米的手机和电脑一样运作，并没有提及要停止制造手机和电脑，排除选项D。故选C。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文介绍了科技公司小米生产电动车SU7，据此推测应该会在报纸的“科学”部分看到这篇文章。故选A。 C The end of the year is drawing near, and winter is in full activity. The season brings along with its strong winds and snow — an environment that’s never comfortable to be in. This unpleasant and even frightening part of winter can be often seen in literature. In Shakespeare’s King Lear (1606), the king has given away his kingdom and been driven out by his two ungrateful daughters. He is out in the winter cold, suffering (遭受痛苦) things that are usually saved for the poorest and most unlucky human beings. The winter is bad enough for Lear, but being driven out by his family is worse. A song from another Shakespeare’s play, As You Like It (1599), is fitting for this poor old man’s situation: “Blow, blow, thou winter wind/Thou art not so unkind/As man’s ingratitude (忘恩负义)”. Here, winter is used to bring out the ugliness of inhumanity (无人性). There aren’t many things that are worse than winter, according to Shakespeare. Once winter became less of a danger to human beings, it became more positive in literary works. Since Charles Dickens, the representation of the season in literature often has something to do with happy Christmas celebrations. The cold of the winter weather provides a contrast (对比) to the fun going on indoors. Dickens’ A Christmas Carol (1843) was the start of this, but Christmas is still a common, cheery element (元素) in stories that feature winter scenes today. Consider the joy felt by Harry Potter and his friends in J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (1997) as they sit down for their festive meal： “Harry had never in all his life had such a Christmas dinner. A hundred fat, roast turkeys; mountains of roast and boiled potatoes; platters of chipolatas; tureens of buttered peas, silver boats of thick, rich gravy and cranberry sauce.” It is almost as much a pleasure to read about the meal as it might have been to eat it. Although winter still isn’t the most cheerful season in novels and poems, it’s safe to say that writers have surely “warmed up” since Shakespeare’s days. 33. What can we learn from Shakespeare’s works? A. Winter is compared with the ugly side of humanity. B. Shakespeare didn’t like winter for its bad weather. C. It’s in winter when King Lear drove his two daughters off. D. King Lear was forced to give away his kingdom in a cold winter. 34. The author mentions Charles Dickens in the passage because _________. A. a lot of his works are related to winter B. he started a new way of representing winter C. he is the most popular author of winter stories D. his works make people feel cheerful in winter 35. The example of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone is used mainly to show _________. A. Christmas is still a symbol of joy in modern stories B. traditional Christmas food makes the winter cheery C. it’s a pleasure to read Christmas-related books in winter D. winter has become the happiest season in literary works 36. The author’s main purpose in writing this article is to _________. A. recommend some winter stories in literature B. explain what winter is like in literary works C. describe certain customs that are related to winter D. tell us why winter is described as unpleasant in literature 【答案】33. A 34. B 35. A 36. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要向我们描述了文学作品中的冬天是什么样子的，以及在不同文学作品中冬天的含义。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Here, winter is used to bring out the ugliness of inhumanity.”可知，在莎士比亚的作品中，冬天被比作人类丑陋的一面。故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Since Charles Dickens, the representation of the season in literature often has something to do with happy Christmas celebrations.”可推断出，文章提到查尔斯·狄更斯，是因为在他之前的作品对冬天的描述都是残忍的不好的，自他以后，对冬天的描述变得不一样了。故选B。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据“but Christmas is still a common, cheery element (元素) in stories that feature winter scenes today. Consider the joy felt by Harry Potter...”可知，作者用《哈利波特与魔法石》的例子主要是用来说明，圣诞节仍是现代故事中欢乐的象征。故选A。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要向我们描述了文学作品中的冬天是什么样子的，以及在不同文学作品中冬天的含义。由此推断出作者写这篇文章的目的是：阐述文学作品中的冬天是什么样子。故选B。 D Personally, there is nothing I love more than asking “stupid” questions, especially the ones that have no right answers. I remember once asking some kids what time it was, at home, in Singapore, and finally on the Moon. After a long silence, finally a shy girl ventured (试探地说) to say that it was “every time” followed by an energetic Einstein who shouted it was “no time”. Both kids shared that week’s Noble Prize because no humans live in that faraway world and time is created by humans. As a matter of fact, we are all good at asking questions by nature, but sadly as we age, we get used to the world around us and take things for granted. We became more results-oriented (注重结果的) and concentrate our efforts on success. If something is working, don’t fix it or worry about the cause; just relax and go with the flow. Common belief may work well, but that does not mean it is always right. Throughout history, it has been those who have questioned common belief and those who have challenged our common-sense ideas of the world that have been the ones to have brought about major progress in human civilization. In 500 BC, the ancient Greeks wondered whether the Earth was round because sailors on the sea had noticed that the farther south they went, the more different stars they saw in the sky. Why was the sky changing? Nearly 2,000 years later, the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei became interested in this question and ended up demonstrating the “crazy” concept of heliocentrism (日心说), in which the Sun lies at the center of the universe while the Earth circles around it at 30 kilometers per second. But if the Earth is spinning around so quickly, why aren’t we being thrown off of the surface of the planet? The answer to this question would not be clear for another century. People like routine, but past performance is no guarantee of future results. While those who challenge common belief tend to be subjected to abuse, the progress of humankind would have otherwise been impossible without these persistent people and their “stupid” questions. 37. What commonly happens to us when we grow older according to the author? A. We focus too much on process. B. We still refuse to relax and go with the flow. C. We start to challenge common-sense ideas of the world. D. We gradually lose the ability to question common belief. 38. What’s the correct order of the following statements? a. The ancient Greeks wondered whether the Earth was round. b. Galileo Galilei raised the concept of heliocentrism. c. We know about the concept of gravity. d. Sailors noticed something special. A. adcb B. adbc C. dabc D. dacb 39. Who might have solved the question “why aren’t we being thrown off of the surface of the planet?” A. An ancient Greek scientist living in 500 BC. B. Galileo Galilei living between 1564 and 1642. C. Isaac Newton living between 1643 and 1727. D. Albert Einstein living between 1879 and 1955. 40. How does the author develop his writing on the whole? A. By comparison and contrast B. By using supporting examples. C. By using time and space order. D. By generalization and definition. 【答案】37. D 38. C 39. C 40. B 【解析】 【导语】 本文是议论文，主要谈论了提出“愚蠢”问题的重要性。尽管那些挑战普遍看法的人往往会遭受不好的待遇，但如果没有这些人和他们的“愚蠢”问题，人类也就不可能进步了。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据“As a matter of fact, we are all good at asking questions by nature, but sadly as we age, we get used to the world around us and take things for granted.”以及“Common belief may work well, but that does not mean it is always right.”可知，这里提到随着年龄的增长，我们习惯了周围的世界，把一切都视为理所当然，因此推知我们逐渐失去了质疑共同信念的能力。故选D。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In 500 BC, the ancient Greeks wondered whether the Earth was round because sailors on the sea had noticed that the farther south they went, the more different stars they saw in the sky. ”可知，水手们注意到了一些特别的事情，因此希腊人想知道地球是不是圆的；根据“Nearly 2,000 years later, the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei became interested in this question and ended up demonstrating the ‘crazy’ concept of heliocentrism (日心说),”可知，伽利略提出了“日心说”；根据“But if the Earth is spinning around so quickly, why aren’t we being thrown off of the surface of the planet? The answer to this question would not be clear for another century.”可知，后来人们知道了重力，因此选项C中的顺序是正确的。故选C。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据“In 500 BC, the ancient Greeks wondered whether the Earth was round…the more different stars they saw in the sky.”；“Nearly 2,000 years later, the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei… and ended up demonstrating the ‘crazy’ concept of heliocentrism (日心说),”可知，伽利略在公元1500年左右提出“日心说”；根据“But if the Earth is spinning around so quickly, why aren’t we being thrown off of the surface of the planet? The answer to this question would not be clear for another century.”可知，对于为什么我们没有被甩出地球表面这个问题，是在伽利略提出“日心说”一个世纪后，即公元1600多年才弄清楚的，由此推知，生于1643年至1727年的艾萨克·牛顿可能是解决这个问题的人。故选C。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Throughout history…that have been the ones to have brought about major progress in human civilization.”；在第三段中“In 500 BC, the ancient Greeks…the more different stars they saw in the sky.”以及“the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei became interested in this question and ended up demonstrating the ‘crazy’ concept of heliocentrism (日心说),”通过例举古希腊人和意大利天文学家伽利略·伽利菜来说明正是质疑引领了人类文明的重大进步，由此可知作者是通过列举支撑例证的方式来展开写作的。故选B。 E 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Today’s teens have grown up online. ____41____ They do homework online. And surely they get their news online. But because they are so comfortable with the Internet, they seldom question the news stories online. Now William Colglazier, a history teacher at a high school in America, is teaching his students how to think critically (批判性地) about online information and recognize a fake (假的) news story. His idea came from a study on people’s online reasoning (推理) at Stanford University. ____42____ Most middle school students in the study could not tell the difference between an advertisement and a news story, and high school and college students fully trusted the websites ending in “.org”. The good news is that, according to Colglazier, once teens realize they’ve been cheated, they have strong will to tell truth from lies. “____43____ and how to recognize when others use poor argumentation (论据),” he said. Some of the advice that Colglazier offers his students includes moving off the site to find more information about the site, the writer’s motivations (动机) and the organization behind the news story. ____44____ He hopes more kids would think critically when they read news online. “____45____” he said. “If people can’t tell real news from fake news, the results can be frightening.” A. The Internet is both beautiful and ugly. B. They make friends online. C. The study found that young people lack ability to tell truth from lies. D. The study found that young people lack ability to reason about the information on the Internet. E. The Internet is between beautiful and ugly, F. Colglazier shared some of his courses with other teens in Teen Vogue. G. But they need some advice on how to find evidence (证据). 【答案】41. B 42. D 43. G 44. F 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要告诫青少年对网络新闻要进行理性思考以及如何辨别网络新闻的真伪。 【41题详解】 根据“Today’s teens have grown up online”及“They do homework online”可知，此处介绍青少年在网上做的事情，B选项“他们在网上交友”符合，故选B。 【42题详解】 根据“Most middle school students in the study could not tell the difference between an advertisement and a news storyMost middle school students in the study could not tell the difference between an advertisement and a news story”可知，此处阐述研究发现年轻人缺乏对互联网上的信息判断能力，D选项“研究发现，年轻人缺乏对互联网上的信息进行推理的能力”符合，故选D。 【43题详解】 根据“and how to recognize when others use poor argumentation”可知，and连接并列的关系，所以此空所填的句子应是how+动词不定式的结构，G选项“但是他们需要一些关于如何找到证据的建议”符合，故选G。 【44题详解】 根据“He hopes more kids would think critically when they read news online”可知，他做了一些事情，目的是希望更多的孩子在网上阅读新闻时能够进行批判性思考，F选项“Colglazier在《Teen Vogue》杂志上与其他青少年分享了他的一些课程”符合，故选F。 【45题详解】 根据“If people can’t tell real news from fake news, the results can be frightening”可知，如果人们不能分辨真新闻和假新闻，结果可能是可怕的，所以网络是既有好的一面又有不好的一面，A选项“互联网既美丽又丑陋”符合，故选A。 四、首字母填空（10分） 根据短文内容及所给首字母提示写出所缺单词，使短文意思完整，每空一词。 I really like Peking Opera because it makes me feel peaceful and happy.

The words “clear” and “bright” describe the weather during this period. Temperatures begin to rise and rainfall increases, making it an important time for growing crops in the spring. As is known, it is a time to worship ancestors (祭拜祖先). However, here are some things you may not know about Clear and Bright. Spring Outings Not only is it a period to honor the dead, but it is also time for people to go out and enjoy nature. As trees turn green, flowers come out, and the sun shines brightly, everything returns to life. It is a fine time to enjoy the beauty of nature. Flying Kites Flying kites is an activity loved by many Chinese during Tomb-Sweeping Day. Kites are not only flown during the day time but also in the evening. Little lanterns are tied to the kites. And when the kites are flying in the sky, the lanterns look like twinkling stars at night. What makes flying kites during this day special is that people cut the string while the kite is in the sky to let it fly freely. It is said that this brings good luck and that diseases can be driven away by doing this. Cuju Cuju is an interesting game played during this period. Ju is a ball made of leather with hairs in it. It is said that the Yellow Emperor first invented it for training warriors. Later, Cuju was used by people to build up their bodies when they were unable to eat hot food during the Cold Food Festival. Qingtuan In the lower parts of the Yangtze River region, qingtuan is very popular on Tomb-Sweeping Day. Qingtuan is a kind of round green cake. In order to make the cakes, people mash (捣碎) barnyard grass (艾草) to squeeze juice from it and mix the flour and juice to a paste. Then they put fillings into the paste and steam them. Pretty and delicate, qingtuan tastes special. 26. What is special about flying kites during Clear and Bright? A. Flying kites to bring good luck. B. Cutting the kite string to let it fly freely. C. Flying kites with lanterns in the evening. D. Flying kites both in the daytime and at night. 27. What can we learn from the passage? A. Clear and Bright is an important period for farming. B. Kites are only flown during the daytime in the Qingming Festival. C. Cuju was invented by the Yellow Emperor to play in the Qingming Festival. D. Qingtuan is eaten during the period of Clear and Bright all over China. 28 What is the main idea of the passage? A. Flying kites in a special way. B. The history of the Qingming Festival. C. Ways to have fun during Clear and Bright. D. Some unknown customs about Clear and Bright. B Have you ever heard of the company called Xiaomi in China? It was set up in 2010. They made smartphones and many other cool gadgets (电子装置) at the beginning. With the development of the times, Xiaomi decided to do something big and different. They created their very first electric car, called the SU7, and started selling it to people. The boss of Xiaomi, a man named Lei Jun, told everyone that the starting price of this new car would be 215,900 yuan (almost $30,000). It was a big event, and people were very excited. In just 27 minutes, more than 50,000 people ordered the new car. Now, Xiaomi isn’t the only company making electric cars. There are other big names like Tesla and BYD. Tesla is a car made in America, and it’s known for being fast and modern. The price to start for a Tesla 3 is a bit higher, 245,900 yuan. But Xiaomi’s car, the SU7, can go really, really far, at least 700 kilometers on one charge (充电)! That’s more than the Tesla Model 3, which can only go 567 kilometers. At the same time, Xiaomi is thinking about how their customers use their phones and computers. They made the SU7’s brain (operating system) work like the ones in Xiaomi’s phones and laptops (手提电脑). This way, people can get everything connected and easy to use. Xiaomi has big dreams for their electric car business, but no one knows yet whether they will succeed. Some analysts (分析师) think that Xiaomi’s big idea will help make electric cars better and more exciting for everyone. So, what do you think? Will Xiaomi’s SU7 develop faster than Tesla and become the king of electric cars? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure: the world of electric cars just got a lot more interesting. 29. What kind of products did Xiaomi mainly use to make? A. Electric cars. B. Operating systems. C. Xiaomi smartphones. D. Xiaomi laptops. 30. The starting price for a Xiaomi SU7 is than that for a Tesla Model 3. A. lower B. higher C. more expensive D. much cheaper 31. What can we infer from the passage? A. The SU7 runs much faster than Tesla Model 3. B. All the people want to own an SU7 right now. C. The writer is proud of Xiaomi’s achievement. D. Xiaomi won’t make phones and laptops any more. 32. You may read the passage in the section of a newspaper. A. science B. travel C. culture D. history C The end of the year is drawing near, and winter is in full activity. The season brings along with its strong winds and snow — an environment that’s never comfortable to be in. This unpleasant and even frightening part of winter can be often seen in literature. In Shakespeare’s King Lear (1606), the king has given away his kingdom and been driven out by his two ungrateful daughters. He is out in the winter cold, suffering (遭受痛苦) things that are usually saved for the poorest and most unlucky human beings. The winter is bad enough for Lear, but being driven out by his family is worse. A song from another Shakespeare’s play, As You Like It (1599), is fitting for this poor old man’s situation: “Blow, blow, thou winter wind/Thou art not so unkind/As man’s ingratitude (忘恩负义)”. Here, winter is used to bring out the ugliness of inhumanity (无人性). There aren’t many things that are worse than winter, according to Shakespeare. Once winter became less of a danger to human beings, it became more positive in literary works. Since Charles Dickens, the representation of the season in literature often has something to do with happy Christmas celebrations. The cold of the winter weather provides a contrast (对比) to the fun going on indoors. Dickens’ A Christmas Carol (1843) was the start of this, but Christmas is still a common, cheery element (元素) in stories that feature winter scenes today. Consider the joy felt by Harry Potter and his friends in J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (1997) as they sit down for their festive meal： “Harry had never in all his life had such a Christmas dinner. A hundred fat, roast turkeys; mountains of roast and boiled potatoes; platters of chipolatas; tureens of buttered peas, silver boats of thick, rich gravy and cranberry sauce.” It is almost as much a pleasure to read about the meal as it might have been to eat it. Although winter still isn’t the most cheerful season in novels and poems, it’s safe to say that writers have surely “warmed up” since Shakespeare’s days. 33. What can we learn from Shakespeare’s works? A. Winter is compared with the ugly side of humanity. B. Shakespeare didn’t like winter for its bad weather. C. It’s in winter when King Lear drove his two daughters off. D. King Lear was forced to give away his kingdom in a cold winter. 34. The author mentions Charles Dickens in the passage because _________. A. a lot of his works are related to winter B. he started a new way of representing winter C. he is the most popular author of winter stories D. his works make people feel cheerful in winter 35. The example of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone is used mainly to show _________. A. Christmas is still a symbol of joy in modern stories B. traditional Christmas food makes the winter cheery C. it’s a pleasure to read Christmas-related books in winter D. winter has become the happiest season in literary works 36. The author’s main purpose in writing this article is to _________. A. recommend some winter stories in literature B. explain what winter is like in literary works C. describe certain customs that are related to winter D. tell us why winter is described as unpleasant in literature D Personally, there is nothing I love more than asking “stupid” questions, especially the ones that have no right answers. I remember once asking some kids what time it was, at home, in Singapore, and finally on the Moon. After a long silence, finally a shy girl ventured (试探地说) to say that it was “every time” followed by an energetic Einstein who shouted it was “no time”. Both kids shared that week’s Noble Prize because no humans live in that faraway world and time is created by humans. As a matter of fact, we are all good at asking questions by nature, but sadly as we age, we get used to the world around us and take things for granted. We became more results-oriented (注重结果的) and concentrate our efforts on success. If something is working, don’t fix it or worry about the cause; just relax and go with the flow. Common belief may work well, but that does not mean it is always right. Throughout history, it has been those who have questioned common belief and those who have challenged our common-sense ideas of the world that have been the ones to have brought about major progress in human civilization. In 500 BC, the ancient Greeks wondered whether the Earth was round because sailors on the sea had noticed that the farther south they went, the more different stars they saw in the sky. Why was the sky changing? Nearly 2,000 years later, the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei became interested in this question and ended up demonstrating the “crazy” concept of heliocentrism (日心说), in which the Sun lies at the center of the universe while the Earth circles around it at 30 kilometers per second. But if the Earth is spinning around so quickly, why aren’t we being thrown off of the surface of the planet? The answer to this question would not be clear for another century. People like routine, but past performance is no guarantee of future results. While those who challenge common belief tend to be subjected to abuse, the progress of humankind would have otherwise been impossible without these persistent people and their “stupid” questions. 37. What commonly happens to us when we grow older according to the author? A. We focus too much on process. B. We still refuse to relax and go with the flow. C. We start to challenge common-sense ideas of the world. D. We gradually lose the ability to question common belief. 38. What’s the correct order of the following statements? a. The ancient Greeks wondered whether the Earth was round. b. Galileo Galilei raised the concept of heliocentrism. c. We know about the concept of gravity. d. Sailors noticed something special. A. adcb B. adbc C. dabc D. dacb 39. Who might have solved the question “why aren’t we being thrown off of the surface of the planet?” A. An ancient Greek scientist living in 500 BC. B. Galileo Galilei living between 1564 and 1642. C. Isaac Newton living between 1643 and 1727. D. Albert Einstein living between 1879 and 1955. 40. How does the author develop his writing on the whole? A By comparison and contrast B. By using supporting examples. C. By using time and space order. D. By generalization and definition.

The crew (乘组) will carry out more than 90 experiments (实验) in space so that they can study microgravity in space, medicine and many other science topics. This mission is special because it is China’s first space-based study of water ecosystems (生态系统). The astronauts brought a fish tank filled with water to the space station. Four zebra fish and algae (水藻) live in it. The algae can give the fish oxygen, keeping them alive. The tank can also feed the fish, control the temperature and lighting, and collect fish eggs by itself. Why zebra fish? Because they share 87 percent of their genes (基因) with humans. Next scientists plan to take mice to space. They’ll raise them there and then bring them back to Earth for further study. Studying animals in space can help scientists understand how the human body reacts to space conditions. The Shenzhou XVIII crew will return after six months in space. After that, they will help achieve China’s first manned landing on the Moon. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 66. When did the Shenzhou XVIII enter the space station? _____________________________________________ 67. How will the astronauts study microgravity in space? _____________________________________________ 68. What can algae do in the tank? _____________________________________________ 69 Why will the astronauts bring mice into space and raise them there? _____________________________________________ 70.
