How did this nickname come about? Although uses of the phrase are documented in the early 1900s, the term first became popular in the 1920s when John J. Fitz Gerald, a sports writer, started a column about horse racing called “Around the Big Apple”. Geneva: the Peace Capital Geneva, the second most populous city in Switzerland, is a city known for its diplomacy. Geneva is not only home to the European headquarters for the United Nations but also where international organizations, such as the Red Cross, were founded and where the Geneva Conventions, a series of treaties (条约) for reducing the effects of war on soldiers and civilians, were signed. It seems fitting. then, that Geneva is known as ”the Peace Capital”. Toronto: Muddy York “Muddy York” sounds like a nickname that would be better suited for New York when it’s raining. But it’s actually a nickname for the city of Toronto in Canada. “Muddy York” is now not as popular as it used to be, but the nickname refers to a time in Toronto’s history when there was no drainage system or sewers. The “York” part actually goes back to when Toronto was first colonized, and its name was “Town of York” to honor Prince Frederick, duke of York. Now, the nickname “Muddy York” represents the early years of this Canadian city. Sydney: Harbour City Located on the southeastern coast of Australia, Sydney is a city that takes advantage of its location. Once a major port city, Sydney is sometimes called “Harbour City”, in honor of this prime real estate. People enjoy hitting the beach to go surfing or diving, and one of the most recognizable buildings, the Sydney Opera House, is right on the harbor! 1. Which city got its nickname because of its port location? A. New York. B. Geneva. C. Toronto. D. Sydney. 2. What can you learn about Geneve? A. It’s the second most populous city worldwide. B. It’s famous for some international organizations. C. It’s home to the headquarters of the United Nations. D. It’s the cause of conflicts between soldiers and civilians. 3. Why was Toronto once known as “Muddy York”? A. Because it was reduced to a British colony. B. Because it had a lot in common with New York. C. Because it was muddy on a rainy day for lack of sewers. D. Because it represented the early years of this Canadian city. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了世界上的四个著名的城市。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Sydney: Harbour City部分“Once a major port city, Sydney is sometimes called “Harbour City”(悉尼曾经是一个主要的港口城市，有时被叫做‘港口城市’)”可知，悉尼作为一个主要的港口城市，被叫做“Harbour City”，故选D。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章Geneva: the Peace Capital部分“Geneva is not only home to the European headquarters for the United Nations but also where international organizations, such as the Red Cross, were founded (日内瓦不仅是联合国欧洲总部的所在地，而且还有很多诸如红十字会这样的国际组织)”可知，在日内瓦有很多诸如红十字会这样的组织，故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Toronto: Muddy York部分“but the nickname refers to a time in Toronto’s history when there was no drainage system or sewers.(但是这一昵称指的是多伦多曾经没有排水系统和下水道。)”可知，多伦多之所以曾经被称为“泥泞之城”是因为这个城市曾经没有排水系统和下水道，因此一下雨就会一片泥泞，故选C。 B A group of planners, scientists and engineers in charge of China’s Chang’e 5 robotic lunar mission have received the highest team award from the International Academy of Astronautics. At the academy’s annual conference on Sunday in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, the Chinese team was awarded the 2023 Laurels for Team Achievement Award. Hu Hao, chief designer of the Chang’e 5 mission and a senior planner at the China National Space Administration, said at the ceremony that he hopes more scientists and engineers from the international space community could take part in China’s lunar exploration projects. He also added that the samples retrieved (回收) by the Chang’e 5 probe will soon be open to foreign researchers. One of the world’s most notable space activities in 2020, the Chang’e 5 robotic mission was launched in November 2020. It was China’s first lunar sample-returning mission and one of its most sophisticated and challenging space attempts. The landmark mission returned 1,731 grams of rocks and soil back to Earth on Dee 17, 2020, presenting the first lunar substances to humans since the Apollo era. On the certificate awarded to the Chinese team, the academy wrote that during the 23-day mission, the Chang’e-5 team successfully completed the complicated mission which included a rocket launch, lunar-Earth transfer, lunar sampling, lunar surface takeoff, rendezvous and docking, sample transfer, skip re-entry and many other processes, and obtained two types of lunar samples.

It was launched on December 2020, D. It’s a complex space exploration. 7. Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A. Hu Hao: A Pioneer in Chinese Lunar exploration B. Amazing Lunar Adventures: A Fairy Tale Has Come True C. Challenging Ways to Returning the First Lunar Sample D. The Impact of International Academy of Astronautics 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国嫦娥五号机器人探月任务的规划者、科学家和工程师获得了国际宇航科学院颁发的最高团队奖。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“A group of planners, scientists and engineers in charge of China’s Chang’e 5 robotic lunar mission have received the highest team award from the International Academy of Astronautics. At the academy’s annual conference on Sunday in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, the Chinese team was awarded the 2023 Laurels for Team Achievement Award.(一批负责中国嫦娥五号机器人探月任务的规划者、科学家和工程师获得了国际宇航科学院颁发的最高团队奖。周日在阿塞拜疆首都巴库举行的学院年会上，中国队被授予2023年团队成就奖。)”可知，本文主要写中国嫦娥五号探月工程团队在阿塞拜疆巴库举办的第74届国际宇航大会期间，荣获了最高团队奖。故本篇文章属于新闻报道，记录了本次获奖事件，故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Hu Hao, chief designer of the Chang’e 5 mission and a senior planner at the China National Space Administration, said at the ceremony that he hopes more scientists and engineers from the international space community could take part in China’s lunar exploration projects. He also added that the samples retrieved (回收) by the Chang’e 5 probe will soon be open to foreign researchers.(嫦娥五号任务总设计师、中国国家航天局高级规划师胡浩在仪式上表示，他希望国际航天界能有更多的科学家和工程师参与中国的探月工程。他还补充说，嫦娥五号探测器取回的样本将很快向外国研究人员开放。)”可知，胡浩期待更多科学家和工程师参与中国的探月工程，并且采集的样本也即将向外国科学家开放，故可推知，他希望国家在探月工程方面鼓励国家间合作共赢，分享科研成果，故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“One of the world’s most notable space activities in 2020, the Chang’e 5 robotic mission was launched in November 2020. It was China’s first lunar sample-returning mission and one of its most sophisticated and challenging space attempts.(作为2020年世界上最引人注目的太空活动之一，嫦娥五号机器人任务与2020年11月发射。这是中国首次月球样本返回任务，也是中国最复杂、最具挑战性的太空尝试之一。)”可知，嫦娥五号任务具有复杂性和挑战性，故它是一次复杂的太空探索，故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“A group of planners, scientists and engineers in charge of China’s Chang’e 5 robotic lunar mission have received the highest team award from the International Academy of Astronautics. At the academy’s annual conference on Sunday in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, the Chinese team was awarded the 2023 Laurels for Team Achievement Award.(一批负责中国嫦娥五号机器人的规划者、科学家和工程师获得了国际宇航科学院颁发的最高团队奖。周日在阿塞拜疆首都巴库举行的学院年会上，中国队被授予2023年团队成就奖。)”以及后文的内容可知，文章主要介绍了嫦娥五号探月工程所取得的辉煌成绩，从着陆月球到月表采样再到成功携带样本返回地球，任务的实施是不容易的，而最终的成功也是践行了“嫦娥奔月”这个古老神话，故B项“神奇的月球冒险：古老神话已成真”符合本文标题，故选B。 C We will soon enter the Year of the Dragon. Or should that be the Year of the Loong? That is a question that has aroused heated debate. Influenced by Greek mythology (神话), the dragon is often the keeper of treasure, so the dragon is often a symbol of greed and destruction. In addition to the image of “Saint George slaying the dragon” in the medieval manuscripts of Europe, there is also the Great Red Dragon in the Christian Bible’s Book of Revelation, which refers to Satan and the end times. For Europeans, dragon is usually a monster keeping distances away from people, a symbol of darkness. With four legs and two huge black wings, they can spit fire or even poison gas out of their mouth, with great destructive power. Such symbolic resonance (共鸣) can be seen in the enduring appeal of dragons in Western popular culture today where they are important parts of fantasy literature, films, video games, and TV shows, often representing a mix of awe-inspiring and fearsome qualities that put them at the heart of struggles between good and evil. Contrary to the evil image of European dragons, Chinese dragons traditionally symbolize different meanings. The loong has been a central symbol in Chinese culture for thousands of years, and its origins can be traced back to early Chinese civilization through mythology, folklore and religious beliefs. They even had jobs, as in Chinese legends dragons were appointed head of the four seas where they must keep order, as well as the job of bringing rain to the earth. Since loong were believed to have control over natural phenomena such as rain, storms and water, and were associated with the life-giving properties of water and the fertility of the land, loong became symbols of strength and good fortune, and they became associated with balance, harmony and the natural order of the universe. The differences in perception of the mythical creatures in China and the West are rooted in their different cultural values. Thus the answer to the question at the beginning is clear: Whether or not to use loong instead of dragon is not important. What is important is that as we enter a new lunar year people globally appreciate the cultural values embodied in such Chinese symbols as loong. 8. Which of the following best describes Westerners’ attitude towards the dragon? A. Lovable. B. Frightened. C. Acceptable. D. Favorable. 9. How is the whole passage organized? A. By presenting numbers. B. By telling ancient stories. C. By making a definition. D. By making comparison. 10. What makes loong symbols of strength and good fortune in Chinese culture? A. The long history of loong. B. The various jobs loong had. C. People’s positive beliefs in loong. D. Loong’s ability to control nature. 11. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph? A. People only in China appreciate the cultural values. B. Different cultures have different understanding of dragon. C. It’s important to identify the differences between dragon and loong. D. Everyone expects to enter a new lunar loong year. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要以“龙年”的表达为话题，对比讨论了中西方文化中对龙的理解，揭示了其根本区别在于不同的文化价值赋予龙不同的认知。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“...which refers to Satan and the end times(……指是撒旦和末日)”，“For Europeans, dragon is usually a monster keeping distances away from people, a symbol of darkness.(对欧洲人来说，龙通常是远离人类的怪物，是黑暗的象征)”以及“With four legs and two huge black wings, they can spit fire or even poison gas out of their mouth, with great destructive power.(它们有四条腿和两个巨大的黑色翅膀，可以从嘴里喷出火焰甚至毒气，具有巨大的破坏力)”可知，龙在西方人的认知中形象是黑暗的化身，具有巨大的破坏力。由此推知，在西方人看来，龙是令人恐惧的。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文结构可以看出， 作者第一段“We will soon enter the Year of the Dragon. Or should that be the Year of the Loong? That is a question that has aroused heated debate.(我们很快就要进入龙年（the Year of the Dragon）了。或者应该是龙年（the Year of the Loong）？那是一个引起了激烈争论的问题)”提出设问, “龙年”英语表述有“dragon”和“loong”的区别；在第二“For Europeans, dragon is usually a monster…(对欧洲人来说，龙通常是怪物)”、第三段“Such symbolic resonance can be seen in the enduring appeal of dragons in Western popular culture today(这种象征性的共鸣可以从龙在当今西方流行文化中持久的吸引力中看到)”描写了西方人眼中“龙”的形象特征；而第四段“Contrary to the evil image of European dragons, Chinese dragons traditionally symbolize different meanings.(与欧洲龙的邪恶形象相反，中国龙在传统上象征着不同的含义)”描写中国人之于“龙”的看法。最后一段“The differences in perception of the mythical creatures in China and the West are rooted in their different cultural values.(中西方对神话生物认知的差异，根源在于不同的文化价值观)”总结文化差异性表现在对于龙的理解。由此推知，全文通过对比的手法， 阐述中西方文化之于“龙”的认知的不同。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。文章倒数第二段中“Since loong were believed to have control over natural phenomena such as rain, storms and water, and were associated with the life-giving properties of water and the fertility of the land, loong became symbols of strength and good fortune, and they became associated with balance, harmony and the natural order of the universe.(由于龙被认为可以控制雨、风暴和水等自然现象，并与水的生命属性和土地的肥沃有关，龙成为力量和好运的象征，它们与平衡、和谐和宇宙的自然秩序联系在一起)”可知，长久以来龙被认为可以控制雨、风暴和水等自然现象，并与水的生命属性和土地的肥沃有关，因此人们对于龙有着美好的寓意。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读最后一段内容可知，首句内容“The differences in perception of the mythical creatures in China and the West are rooted in their different cultural values.(中西方对神话生物认知的差异，根源在于不同的文化价值观)”揭示了该段的主旨，即，不同文化的文化价值造就了不同的“龙”认知。因此，在最后一段中，作者想要表达的是不同的文化对龙有不同的理解。故选B项。 D For night owls like Chen Danhong, 28, who works for a technology company in Beijing, the day really just begins after about 8 pm, a psychological hint that she can relax. “When I get home, I’m feeling worn out and tired, but that suddenly turns to excitement and I go on the Internet, read novels or watch movies. I’ll be playing video games and continually saying to myself, ‘OK, this is the last one’ before I eventually realize that it’s 2 o’clock,” says Chen. Common symptoms (症状) include falling asleep later than 2 am, with the average time taken to fall asleep being more than one hour. Young people in cities are most vulnerable to such symptoms, according to the 2020 Chinese National Healthy Sleep White Paper.

On March 21, World Sleep Day, a newspaper, Nanguo Morning News, conducted a survey that attracted 2,000 interviewees. According to the survey, the reasons for going to bed late vary widely, with overtime work or taking care of a baby accounting for just five percent of the interviewees’ answers on this question. Sixty-four percent said they sleep late because they watch dramas, various shows, read books or play with their mobile phones. Fourteen percent said they do not want to go to bed too early even if they have nothing to do. Many interviewees said they have had experience of the dangers of going to be late. Twenty-three percent said they have no serious physiological problems, but they can feel weak, are easily fatigued and have a poor complexion. Twenty-one percent said they are forgetful and find it hard to concentrate on work. More worrying is that an unwillingness to sleep can lead to a vicious circle (恶性循环), and15 percent of the respondents said they cannot fall asleep even if they want to. 12. Why does the author mention Chen Danhong’s situation in the first paragraph? A. To lead in the topic. B. To present an argument. C. To shock the reader. D. To raise a question. 13.

Young people are more strong enough to sleep late. B. Young people can fall asleep anytime they want to. C. Going to bed late affects many people’s health or work. D. Sleeping late occasionally isn’t harmful to our health. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要以夜猫子陈丹红引出了现在熬夜这一现象，并分析了原因以及带来的结果。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“For night owls like Chen Danhong, 28, who works for a technology company in Beijing, the day really just begins after about 8 pm, a psychological hint that she can relax.(对于像28岁的陈丹红这样一个在北京一家科技公司工作的夜猫子来说，一天真正开始于晚上8点之后，这是她可以放松的心理暗示。)”可知，作者由夜猫子陈丹红引出中国目前城市中很多年轻人到深夜还没休息这个普遍现象，并分析了这种现象的原因，故第一段提到陈丹红是为了引入文章的话题，故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Common causes are loneliness, overtime sequelae (后遗症), excessive stress and emotional disorders.(常见的原因包括孤独，加班后遗症，过度压力和情绪障碍。)”可知，“频繁加班”是年轻人晚睡的一个原因，故选D。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词fatigued前文的内容“but they can feel weak,(但是他们会感到虚弱)”以及后文的内容“have a poor complexion(脸色不好)”可知推知，年轻人晚睡容易导致精神状态不佳，故划线词fatigued与B项“Exhausted(筋疲力尽的)”意思相近，尽管身体没有什么大问题，但是他们会感到虚弱、疲惫，并且脸色不好，故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Twenty-three percent said they have no serious physiological problems, but they can feel weak, are easily fatigued and have a poor complexion. Twenty-one percent said they are forgetful and find it hard to concentrate on work. More worrying is that an unwillingness to sleep can lead to a vicious circle (恶性循环), and15 percent of the respondents said they cannot fall asleep even if they want to.(23%的人说他们没有严重的身体问题，但是他们会感到虚弱、疲惫，并且脸色不好。21%的人说他们健忘，很难专心于工作。更令人担心的是，不愿意睡觉会带来恶性循环，15%的回复者说即使他们想睡觉但也无法睡着。)”可知，晚睡会让他们有迟到的风险，会感到虚弱，容易疲惫，面色不好，健忘，很难集中注意力，甚至导致恶性循环，故可推知，晚睡会影响人们的健康和工作，故选C。 第二节 (共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分。) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Push yourselves beyond the limits Limits are blocks between you and your success.

They were good students. One evening, Jack and Dane were playing with a ball. After a while, Jack said, “I am so bored. Shall we go for fishing in the river?” “That is a great idea.” replied Dane. Jack called out to his mother, “Mama, we are going fishing in the river, okay?” “Okay,” Jack’s mother said, “but be careful not to get into the water. Your father said there are crocodiles in the river.” Both the children said that they would not get into the river. They gathered their fishing lines with the hooks (钩), and a can full of fish food. They headed to the river, and soon began fishing. However, even after a long time, they did not get any fish. They began to feel bored again. “This river looks not so deep. Why does mother say not to swim here?” asked Jack. “Remember, your mother said there are crocodiles here.” said Dane. “Well, I don’t find any.” said Jack. Dane was quiet for a while. Finally he asked, “Do you think we can swim?” Jack jumped up and shouted excitedly, “Yes, let us swim. Come on, dive.” The two friends dove in, and splashed (泼水) around happily. They found some logs of wood floating on the river, and tried floating with them. It was then that something unexpected happened. Dane was playing with a log of wood, and suddenly, the log was caught in a strong current (水流), and he was hit in the head. He became unconscious immediately. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Jack saw what happened, and he swam fast to his friend’s rescue. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly, a loud splash was heard. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Jack saw what happened, and he swam fast to his friend’s rescue. Without hesitation, he spared no effort to reach for him and save him. However, Dane was too heavy for Jack to drag to the shore, so he shouted for help. “Help! My friend is drowning!” At the same time, he saw a movement a little far away. Having realized he was looking at a crocodile, he felt so terrified that he began to panic and cry. To his horror, the crocodile was going to get them any moment. Suddenly, a loud splash was heard. Jack looked up to see his father and mother in the river, struggling to swim towards them swiftly and soon they approached him. In a flash, they got both friends to the shore. Having tried their best, they brought Dane back to consciousness, but he was very weak. Jack was too shocked to speak, feeling very guilty. Finally, he apologized in a broken accent to his parents, lowering his head. The friends learned an impressive lesson—Children who refuse the reminding words will get into trouble. 【解析】 【导语】本文以Jack和Dane去河边钓鱼为线索，讲述了他们觉得钓鱼无聊，便跳入河中游泳，Dane被水流冲来的木筏撞到头晕了过去，Jack想要救他却无能为力，就在鳄鱼将要游向他们的时候，Jack的父母跳入水中，将他们救起来的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Jack看到发生的这一切，便快速游去救他的朋友。”可知，本段可以写Jack在水中努力营救Dane，却心有余而力不足，便大声寻求帮助。但更糟糕的是，一只鳄鱼也向他们游来，这让情况变得更加令人着急。 ②由第二段首句内容“突然，他听到了一阵哗啦啦的水声。”可知，本段可以写他的父母跳入水中成功救出Dane，Jack也为自己的贪玩道了歉。他们学到了重要的一课：不听老人言，吃亏在眼前。 2.续写线索：Jack去救朋友→拉不动Dane→大声寻求帮助→鳄鱼朝他们游过来→父母跳进水中救出Dane→Jack道歉→他们学到人生中重要的一课。 3.词类激活： 行为类： 努力做某事：spared no effort to do/try one’s best to do 意识到：realize/it hit sb. that 使某人苏醒：bring sb. back to consciousness/bring back to life 情绪类： 害怕的：terrified→fearful/scared/frightened 受惊的：shocked/frightened 羞愧的：guilty/ashamed 【点睛】【高分句型1】 Having tried their best, they brought Dane back to consciousness, but he was very weak.(运用了现在分词作状语。) 【高分句型2】 The friends learned an impressive lesson—Children who refuse the reminding words will get into trouble.(运用了who引导定语从句。) 1-5 ABBCB 6-10 CCABB 11-15 CACAB 16-20 CABCB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 青铜峡市宁朔中学 2024-2025 学年第一学期 高三年级英语开学考试卷 (时间：120 分钟 满分：150 分) 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分 30 分) 第一节(共 5 小题;每小题 1.5 分，满分 7.5 分) 听下面 5 段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的 A、B、C 三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有 10 秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.What does the man’s brother look like?

How did this nickname come about? Although uses of the phrase are documented in the early 1900s, the term first became popular in the 1920s when John J. Fitz Gerald, a sports writer, started a column about horse racing called “Around the Big Apple”. Geneva: the Peace Capital Geneva, the second most populous city in Switzerland, is a city known for its diplomacy. Geneva is not only home to the European headquarters for the United Nations but also where international organizations, such as the Red Cross, were founded and where the Geneva Conventions, a series of treaties (条约) for reducing the effects of war on soldiers and civilians, were signed. It seems fitting. then, that Geneva is known as ”the Peace Capital”. Toronto: Muddy York “Muddy York” sounds like a nickname that would be better suited for New York when it’s raining. But it’s actually a nickname for the city of Toronto in Canada. “Muddy York” is now not as popular as it used to be, but the nickname refers to a time in Toronto’s history when there was no drainage system or sewers. The “York” part actually goes back to when Toronto was first colonized, and its name was “Town of York” to honor Prince Frederick, duke of York. Now, the nickname “Muddy York” represents the early years of this Canadian city. Sydney: Harbour City Located on the southeastern coast of Australia, Sydney is a city that takes advantage of its location. Once a major port city, Sydney is sometimes called “Harbour City”, in honor of this prime real estate. People enjoy hitting the beach to go surfing or diving, and one of the most recognizable buildings, the Sydney Opera House, is right on the harbor! 1. Which city got its nickname because of its port location? A. New York. B. Geneva. C. Toronto. D. Sydney. 2. What can you learn about Geneve? A. It’s the second most populous city worldwide. B. It’s famous for some international organizations. C. It’s home to the headquarters of the United Nations. D. It’s the cause of conflicts between soldiers and civilians. 3. Why was Toronto once known as “Muddy York”? A. Because it was reduced to a British colony. B. Because it had a lot in common with New York. C. Because it was muddy on a rainy day for lack of sewers. D. Because it represented the early years of this Canadian city. B A group of planners, scientists and engineers in charge of China’s Chang’e 5 robotic lunar mission have received the highest team award from the International Academy of Astronautics. At the academy’s annual conference on Sunday in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, the Chinese team was awarded the 2023 Laurels for Team Achievement Award. Hu Hao, chief designer of the Chang’e 5 mission and a senior planner at the China National Space Administration, said at the ceremony that he hopes more scientists and engineers from the international space community could take part in China’s lunar exploration projects. He also added that the samples retrieved (回收) by the Chang’e 5 probe will soon be open to foreign researchers. One of the world’s most notable space activities in 2020, the Chang’e 5 robotic mission was launched in November 2020. It was China’s first lunar sample-returning mission and one of its most sophisticated and challenging space attempts. The landmark mission returned 1,731 grams of rocks and soil back to Earth on Dee 17, 2020, presenting the first lunar substances to humans since the Apollo era. On the certificate awarded to the Chinese team, the academy wrote that during the 23-day mission, the Chang’e-5 team successfully completed the complicated mission which included a rocket launch, lunar-Earth transfer, lunar sampling, lunar surface takeoff, rendezvous and docking, sample transfer, skip re-entry and many other processes, and obtained two types of lunar samples. It noted the Chinese team has made outstanding contributions to mankind’s lunar and deep-space exploration. 4. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. An advertisement of a robotic lunar company. B. A research on Chinese lunar exploration. C. A news report about an international awarding ceremony. D. A review of the International Academy of Astronautics. 5. What can we infer from Hu Hao’s words? A. China encourages cooperation and sharing in exploring the moon. B. China has made a difference to international space community. C. China National Space Administration will soon be open to the world. D. Chang’e 5 probe will soon continue its mission. 6. What can we know from the Chang’e 5 robotic mission? A. It marks the world’s first lunar sample-returning mission. B. It contains various missions except for sample transfer. C. It was launched on December 2020, D. It’s a complex space exploration. 7. Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A. Hu Hao: A Pioneer in Chinese Lunar exploration B. Amazing Lunar Adventures: A Fairy Tale Has Come True C. Challenging Ways to Returning the First Lunar Sample D. The Impact of International Academy of Astronautics C We will soon enter the Year of the Dragon. Or should that be the Year of the Loong? That is a question that has aroused heated debate. Influenced by Greek mythology (神话), the dragon is often the keeper of treasure, so the dragon is often a symbol of greed and destruction. In addition to the image of “Saint George slaying the dragon” in the medieval manuscripts of Europe, there is also the Great Red Dragon in the Christian Bible’s Book of Revelation, which refers to Satan and the end times. For Europeans, dragon is usually a monster keeping distances away from people, a symbol of darkness. With four legs and two huge black wings, they can spit fire or even poison gas out of their mouth, with great destructive power. Such symbolic resonance (共鸣) can be seen in the enduring appeal of dragons in Western popular culture today where they are important parts of fantasy literature, films, video games, and TV shows, often representing a mix of awe-inspiring and fearsome qualities that put them at the heart of struggles between good and evil. Contrary to the evil image of European dragons, Chinese dragons traditionally symbolize different meanings. The loong has been a central symbol in Chinese culture for thousands of years, and its origins can be traced back to early Chinese civilization through mythology, folklore and religious beliefs. They even had jobs, as in Chinese legends dragons were appointed head of the four seas where they must keep order, as well as the job of bringing rain to the earth. Since loong were believed to have control over natural phenomena such as rain, storms and water, and were associated with the life-giving properties of water and the fertility of the land, loong became symbols of strength and good fortune, and they became associated with balance, harmony and the natural order of the universe. The differences in perception of the mythical creatures in China and the West are rooted in their different cultural values. Thus the answer to the question at the beginning is clear: Whether or not to use loong instead of dragon is not important. What is important is that as we enter a new lunar year people globally appreciate the cultural values embodied in such Chinese symbols as loong. 8. Which of the following best describes Westerners’ attitude towards the dragon? A. Lovable. B. Frightened. C. Acceptable. D. Favorable. 9. How is the whole passage organized? A. By presenting numbers. B. By telling ancient stories. C. By making a definition. D. By making comparison. 10. What makes loong symbols of strength and good fortune in Chinese culture? A. The long history of loong. B. The various jobs loong had. C. People’s positive beliefs in loong. D. Loong’s ability to control nature. 11. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph? A.
