After about 37 minutes, the spacecraft separated from the rocket and began its 53-day journey. The Chang’e-6 spacecraft has a special job. It’s going to collect rocks and soil from the far side of the moon and bring them back to Earth. “No other country has done this before,” said Wu Weiren, chief designer of China’s moon exploration program. The moon rotates (旋转) at the same speed as it moves around Earth. As a result, we always see the “near side” of the moon from Earth. “We still know very little about the moon’s far side. If we make it, we’ll give scientists new, first-hand information about the moon.” The Chang’e-6 spacecraft has a robotic arm. After it lands on the moon, the arm will start working. It will collect rocks and soil from the moon’s surface (表面) and put them in a special box. The spacecraft will then bring them back to Earth. How much will Chang’e-6 be able to collect? Scientists don’t know for sure. Their goal is about two kilograms. The spacecraft will land in an impact crater (撞击坑) called the SPA Basin. It is 2,500 kilometers wide. That’s about the distance between Beijing and Hainan. The SPA Basin has a history of over four billion years. It is the oldest and largest impact crater on the moon. Scientists believe that studying it may give us some of the earliest information about the moon. 16. When will the Chang’e-6 spacecraft return? A. On May 3. B. On June 9. C. On March 5. D. On June 25. 17. What can we know from Wu Weiren’s words in Paragraph 2? A. The Cheng’e-6 is making history. B. No other country has been to the moon. C. The moon’s near side has never been seen. D. Human have known much about the moon’s far side. 18. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. Why a robotic arm is used. B. How Chang’e-6 completes its job. C. What can be seen on the moon’s surface. D. How much soil and rocks will be collected. 19. Why is the SPA Basin chosen as the landing site? A. It is the smallest impact crater on the moon. B. It has been studied for over four billion years. C. It will give us earliest information about the Earth. D. It may provide understanding of the moon’s history. 20. In which part of a newspaper can you probably read the passage? A. Sports. B. Nature. C. Science. D. Education. C Can you imagine spending your nights sleeping thousands of times, each time for only four seconds? That’s exactly how chinstrap penguin (帽带企鹅) parents sleep, according to a study by Won Young Lee from the Korea Polar Research Institute and his team. Like other penguins, chinstrap penguins spend much of their time in the water, catching fish to eat. But when the time comes to raise their young, they return to land. The eggs are often laid in nests made of small rocks so that they won’t freeze. One parent’s job is to hunt for food, while the other keeps the nest safe. It is quite challenging. For one thing, brown skuas (贼鸥) like to attack the eggs and young penguins of careless parents. Besides, other penguins in nearby areas may take stones from the nest, putting the young in danger. Getting a good night’s sleep can be deadly for the young, but it’s hard to stay watchful for 24 hours a day. Faced with these challenges, Chinstrap penguins have found an unusual way to solve the problem. When Lee first noticed chinstrap penguins kept blinking (眨) their eyes, he and his team wondered if more was happening than just blinking. So they tested the brain activity of the penguins and recorded the birds on video. The study showed that the tired parents were actually sleeping — very often and for very short time periods! Each sleep lasts only about four seconds. By taking over 10,000 microsleeps a day, the penguins get a total of about 11 hours of sleep a day. How amazing! Still, it’s not clear if other kinds of penguins have similar sleeping habits. Further research is needed to learn more about these birds. 21. What does the study show about chinstrap penguins? A. Their hunting habits. B. Their sleeping patterns. C. Their living environment. D. Their favorite kinds of food. 22. Why do chinstrap penguins need to stay watchful? A. To find more stones to build nests. B. To catch more fish for their family. C. To protect their nests and the young. D. To launch attacks against brown skuas. 23. How did the scientists do the study? A. By drawing the tired parents’ notice. B. By showing dangers to the penguins. C. By recording sleeping habits of all kinds of penguins. D. By testing penguins’ brain activity and recording videos. 24. How long do chinstrap penguins sleep in a day using microsleeps? A. Up to 24 hours. B. For 4 seconds. C. Around 11 hours. D. Over 10,000 minutes. 25. What does the writer think of microsleeps? A. It’s usual. B. It’s surprising. C. It’s terrible. D. It’s unimportant. 第二节 请阅读下面的短文，并从下列方框里的六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中，使原文的意思完整、连贯。（共5小题，每小题2分） ( Have an open posture(姿势). Look for someone you are interested in and start a conversation. Body language is one of the many ways to appear more confident. Instead , l ook up and keep an eye on your environment to draw other’s attention.

A warm, inviting smile can make you look like you’re having a great time. 27 Studies have shown that smiling helps reduce stress and makes you feel relaxed in social situations, too. 28 When you are uncomfortable, you are likely to distance yourselves from those around you. Therefore, it is important to be mindful of your posture. Remember to stand straight and turn your feet and your body to face the speaker to show you are interested. Don’t cross your arms because it stands for “I’m too busy” or “Leave me alone.” Make eye contact. In social situations, people would usually look around and begin a conversation with someone if they make eye contact. Don’t look at the floor or your feet for a long time. 29 Keep calm. Though it’s natural to feel nervous or bored, remember not to express it directly. 30 Be aware of these habits and take a few deep breaths when you feel like doing them. 第三节 信息匹配 下面的材料A~F是六个卡通动漫的介绍。请根据Steven, Thomas, Mia, Luke, Emily五位同学的需求,为他们推荐合适的动漫片。（共5小题，每小题1.5分） A.

The post-1980s sci-fi writer Bao Shu gave his answer. His 36 (impress) work Our Martians won a Science Fiction Planet Award recently. Knowledge plus imagination Since many different subjects such as social problems, technology and philosophy (哲学) 37 (include) in a science fiction, sci-fi writers need to know a lot of things. While knowledge forms the “backbone” of 38 sci-fi story, imagination is the “lifeblood” that makes science fiction work. Bao Shu said that not everyone is born good at imagining, but you can train yourself to be good at it. He 39 (give) an example. “If you are simply given the topic: ‘Imagine you become a billionaire (亿万富翁) in 20 years, what would 40 (you) life look like?’ You might just think about what you could buy. But if you imagine a billionaire lost 41 a desert, it can make you think differently and 42 (deep) about the idea,” he said. Inspiration from daily life Bao Shu’s works cover different 43 (topic) such as AI, time loops and space exploration. It sounds quite far from daily life. 44 , most of his ideas come from everyday life. His short story Tasting the Future Delicacy Three Times is about how people use technology 45 (feel) what others feel when they eat.
