B In October, 2021, three Chinese astronauts, Wang Yaping, Zhai Zhigang and Ye Guangfu, travelled to their space station. They stayed there for six months while they got ready for two new modules (舱), Wentian and Mengtian, to join the main module, Tianhe. In December, they gave a physics lesson from space to students in Hong Kong, Beijing and three other cities. Through a livestream (网络直播), the public could also enjoy the lesson. Wang Yaping gave the Tiangong lesson, while Zhai Zhigang made videos, and Ye Guangfu helped in the process. Excited students enjoyed the lesson about the effects of weightlessness on object movement. They were quite curious about what it’s like to live in space. There was no doubt that they had lots of questions specifically for astronaut Wang, who is famous as the first Chinese woman to go on a spacewalk. She had before spent several hours outside the station with Zhai, fixing equipment and doing tests. Wang said it was a great joy to teach children about space while she was there, referring to the two live science lectures she gave in 2013 and 2021. “My family told me that many netizens (Internet users) compared photos of my two lectures and found that our ’space classroom’ is now bigger, the content of the class is more colourful and interesting, and that the livestream is smoother and pictures clearer,” she said. 5. What was Wang Yaping’s 2021 Tiangong lesson about? A. Arts. B. Physics. C. History. D. Travel. 6. How did students feel about the Tiangong lesson? A. Excited. B. Sad. C. Doubtful. D. Bored. 7.

What is one of the features of Wang Yaping’s 2021 lecture? A. Fewer questions. B. Unclearer pictures. C. More colourful content. D. Smaller space classroom. C Do you know how many kinds of breakfast cereal (麦片) there are in my local supermarket? 165 kinds! That’s just one product. Think about all the varieties of biscuits, yoghourt, and chocolate bars. We have so much choice these days. It’s unbelievable! So all this choice must be a good thing, right? It makes us happier, right? Well, not necessarily. People like the idea of having a choice, and many people think more choice must be a good thing. But, in fact, too much choice can cause us problems. If there are too many different things to choose from, we can’t know what to choose. If you offer me a choice of three cookies, I can decide quickly which one I want. But if you offer me a choice of 33 cookies, my brain crashes. Another problem with too much choice is that we think there must be the perfect cookie somewhere. The fact is, there isn’t — so when we have spent half an hour deciding which cookie we want, we feel dissatisfied, because it’s not as good as expected. It’s not cookie perfection. And then we begin to regret all the other cookies we didn’t choose, thinking one of them might have been better. So there can be such a thing as too much choice. We need to recognize that while some choice is good too much can leave us at a loss. We should focus on being pleased with what we choose. I am going to remember this next time I’m offered a cookie — choose one and enjoy it! 9. What is the purpose of paragraph 1? A. To sell a product. B. To express surprise. C. To introduce the topic. D. To answer a question. 10. What problem can too much choice cause? A. Difficulty in choosing. B. Worry about health. C. A careless decision. D. A loss of memory. 11. The underlined part “It’s not cookie perfection” probably means ________. A. we can’t make good cookies B. there’s no perfect choice C. we are pleased with all cookies D. the cookie doesn’t taste delicious 12. How will the writer solve the problem of too much choice according to the last paragraph? A Recognize the perfect. B. Make a quick choice. C. Ignore what is offered. D. Enjoy what is chosen. D You drove ten hours to your aunt’s house, and you’re ready to get some sleep in the guest room. But though you’re so tired, sleep just doesn’t come. You turn from side to side in bed all night. And finally, when you do fall asleep, you wake up just an hour later. It’s so easy to fall asleep in your own bed. So why can’t you sleep well here? Martha Hotz Vitaterna, a brain scientist, knows all about this problem. “In some sleep research circles, this is called the “first night effect”, she says. “People do not sleep well the first night. There is less slow brainwave activity, meaning not as much time in deep sleep. In animal studies, we see this phenomenon (现象) as well.” The fact that this happens in other animals, too, makes scientists think that bad sleep in new places is the result of a very old process inside your brain. It may date back to the time long before humans evolved (进化). When you’re in your own bed, your brain knows it’s home and you will be safe. It can relax and fall into a deep, healthy sleep. But when you sleep in an unfamiliar place, your brain stays slightly attentive to make sure no dangers are nearby. Even familiar sounds still make you worried. What’s that? Is it dangerous? It wakes up the brain to keep you ready to escape if you need to. But there’s good news: for most people, after just one or two nights in a new place, our anxious brains start to feel safe again. And finally we can have a full night of sleep. 13. What is the “first night effect”? A. Poor sleep on the first night. B. Less rapid brainwave activity. C. Long deep sleep all night. D. Good habit of sleeping. 14. From paragraph 3 we know that bad sleep in new places ________. A. brings danger to health B. exists only in humans C. has bad effects on the brain D. has a very long history 15. Why is it harder to sleep in new places? A. There are real dangers nearby. B. New beds feel uncomfortable. C. People feel unsafe and worried. D. The brain stops working normally. 16. What’s good news for most people? A. Brains no longer feel safe. B. They will have a quick mind. C. They can finally sleep well. D. Unfamiliar sounds disappear. E With the increasing number of Everest mountain climbers, more litter is left behind on this natural wonder. Fortunately, Nepalese (尼泊尔) officials are working to deal with this environment disaster. Mount Everest has brought much-needed income to Nepal, but a lot of waste has gathered as a result. Climbers need a lot of equipment to successfully climb the mountain. A typical team of climbers can easily use up hundreds of oxygen containers and as many as 15 plastic tents and other equipment during the climb. In addition, there is the problem with human waste. This has been a growing problem and has put life in danger. The waste problem now spreads from the base camp to the river below, polluting the local water supply. In 2014, the Nepalese government tried to solve this pollution problem, requiring that climbers bring back 18 pounds of rubbish on their way down the mountain. But this solution did not work well. Mount Everest officials and the city of Kathmandu put forward a new proposal. First of all, dustbins have been placed along the mountain paths. In addition, heavy fines will be given to climbers who pollute the mountain. These climbers risk losing their $4,000 waste deposit (保证金) if caught throwing things. In this way, careless throwing will surely be reduced. Finally, the rubbish will be removed from the mountain. A local plane company has agreed to use its planes to carry the waste from the mountain to the capital city, where it will be treated. Now, with these new rules in place, the mountain should see a return to its former self. 17. What caused the Mount Everest environment disaster? A. The increasing number of villagers. B. Litter left behind by the climbers. C. Nepalese officials who work there. D. Rubbish produced by nature itself. 18. Which of the following pollute(s) the local water supply according to paragraph 2? A Human waste. B. Plastic tents. C. Oxygen containers. D. Climbing equipment. 19. What were the climbers required to do in 2014? A. Limit the use of oxygen containers. B. Use wood and metal to put up tents. C. Avoid drinking water from the river below. D. Take 18 pounds of litter down the mountain. 20. How many new rules are put forward in the last paragraph? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 第二节 完形填空 （共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文下面各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Bethany Firth, now a famous swimmer, has learning difficulty.
