So what can you do while travelling? There are three things you should remember: relax, sleep and eat well. A vacation is a time for relaxing, but very often it is not. Think about what you do when you are a tourist. There are so many places to visit: shops, parks, churches and temples（寺庙）. You may spend most of the days walking around these places. This can be very tiring. Do not ask your body to do too much. A tired body means a weak body. A weak body gets sick easily. So sit down for a few hours in a nice place. In good weather, look for a quiet park bench. Sleep is also important. If you want to stay healthy, you need to get enough sleep. Your hotel room may be noisy, or the bed may be too hard. Or you may want to stay out late at night. Then you should plan to sleep for an hour during the day. The extra hour can make a big difference. Finally, if you want to stay healthy, you must eat well. That means eating the right kinds of food. Your body needs fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, milk and cheese. So, remember this: if you want to enjoy your vacation, take good care of yourself. Give your body some rest. Get enough sleep and eat healthy food. 36. You should _________ while travelling. A. eat well B. walk all the time C. do shopping D. ask your body to do a lot 37. Traveling is usually _________. A. easy B. noisy C. tiring D. dangerous 38. You must _________ to enjoy your travelling.

The text tells us _________ during travelling. A. how to rest B. what places to visit C. how to relax and sleep D. how to take good care of ourselves 【答案】36. A 37. C 38. B 39. A 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了旅行中要注意的三大要素：休息、睡眠和吃得好。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Finally, if you want to stay healthy, you must eat well.”可知，旅行时要吃得好，故选A。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“A vacation is a time for relaxing, but very often it is not....This can be very tiring.”可知，旅行通常是很累人的，故选C。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据“if you want to enjoy your vacation, take good care of yourself.”可知，如果你想享受你的假期，好好照顾自己，也就是保持健康，故选B。 【39题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“our hotel room may be noisy, or the bed may be too hard. Or you may want to stay out late at night. Then you should plan to sleep for an hour during the day. The extra hour can make a big difference.”可知，这里讲的是除了晚上的休息外，白天也要安排一个小时的休息时间，这一个小时是额外的，所以划线单词表示“额外的”，与one more意思相近，故选A。 40题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“Of course you don’t want to be sick in your vacation. So what can you do while travelling? There are three things you should remember: relax, sleep and eat well.”可知，本文告诉我们如何在旅途中照顾好自己，故选D。 C 【语篇来自二十一世纪学生英文报·试题原创】 Could we live on Jupiter? From the moon to Mars, scientists have been looking for water—the key to life—in the solar system (太阳系) for decades. Recently, they have turned to Jupiter (木星)! On April 14, the European Space Agency’s (ESA) JUICE spacecraft (航天器) successfully lifted off from French Guiana in South America. JUICE, short for “Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer”, will collect data from Jupiter and its three moons, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. The three moons are believed to have big oceans of liquid water (液态水) under their icy shells (壳). According to ESA, the water on those moons could be as much as six times the amount in Earth’s oceans. The mission “will change our understanding of the solar system”, wrote Scientific American. In 1998, NASA’s Galileo spacecraft found that Europa might be ejecting (喷射) water as far as 160 kilometers into space. That gave scientists the idea of studying the icy moons of Jupiter. The oceans under these moons are likely to be tens of kilometers deep. But they are also trapped under tens of kilometers of ice, making it very difficult to study them. Although JUICE cannot land on the surface, it has lots of high-tech equipment to study the moon’s environment, including spectral imaging (光谱成像) tools and radar (雷达). They could give more data on things like the thickness (厚度) of the oceans, their salt content (含量), and their distance from the icy shells above, reported Phys.org. “The main goal is to understand whether there are habitable (可居住的) environments among those icy moons and around a giant planet like Jupiter,” JUICE team member Olivier Witasse said during a press conference (发布会) on April 6. 41. JUICE lifted off from________. A. France B. French Guiana C. North America D. China 42. Europa is one of the________of Jupiter. A. moons B. spacecrafts C. planet D. solar system 43. The three moons have a large amount of ________ under their icy shells. A. soil B. ice C. liquid water D. salt 44. The structure of the moons is________. A. insignificant B. the same as that of Earth C. predictable D. unexpected 45. What’s the passage mainly about? A. Exploration of the Moon. B. Exploration of Jupiter. C. The Invention of Spacecraft. D. How to study satellites. 【答案】41. B 42. A 43. C 44. D 45. B 【解析】 【导语】本篇是一篇说明文。文章是关于人类探索木星的历程，揭示了人们在木星及其卫星上的神奇发现。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据“On April 14, the European Space Agency’s (ESA) JUICE spacecraft successfully lifted off from French Guiana in South America.”可知，JUICE航天器在法属圭亚那升空。故选B。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据“... will collect data from Jupiter and its three moons, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto.”可知，木卫二是木星的一个卫星。故选A。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The three moons are believed to have big oceans of liquid water under their icy shells”可知，三颗卫星的冰壳下面有大量的液态水。故选C。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的描述可推断，卫星的构造和地球不一样，其液态水可能是地球水量的六倍；这个结果会改变人们对太阳系的理解，即出人意料的。故选D。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。本文通过总分的结构，讲述了人类对木星及其卫星的探索，最后一段点明探索木星的目的是为了了解木星及其周围是否存在适宜人类居住的环境。故选B。 D A good reader is like a driver very much.

So what can you do while travelling? There are three things you should remember: relax, sleep and eat well. A vacation is a time for relaxing, but very often it is not. Think about what you do when you are a tourist. There are so many places to visit: shops, parks, churches and temples（寺庙）. You may spend most of the days walking around these places. This can be very tiring. Do not ask your body to do too much. A tired body means a weak body. A weak body gets sick easily. So sit down for a few hours in a nice place. In good weather, look for a quiet park bench. Sleep is also important. If you want to stay healthy you need to get enough sleep. Your hotel room may be noisy, or the bed may be too hard. Or you may want to stay out late at night. Then you should plan to sleep for an hour during the day. The extra hour can make a big difference. Finally, if you want to stay healthy, you must eat well. That means eating the right kinds of food. Your body needs fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, milk and cheese. So, remember this: if you want to enjoy your vacation, take good care of yourself. Give your body some rest. Get enough sleep and eat healthy food. 36. You should _________ while travelling. A. eat well B. walk all the time C. do shopping D. ask your body to do a lot 37. Traveling is usually _________. A. easy B. noisy C. tiring D. dangerous 38. You must _________ to enjoy your travelling.

The text tells us _________ during travelling. A. how to rest B. what places to visit C. how to relax and sleep D. how to take good care of ourselves C 【语篇来自二十一世纪学生英文报·试题原创】 Could we live on Jupiter? From the moon to Mars, scientists have been looking for water—the key to life—in the solar system (太阳系) for decades. Recently, they have turned to Jupiter (木星)! On April 14, the European Space Agency’s (ESA) JUICE spacecraft (航天器) successfully lifted off from French Guiana in South America. JUICE, short for “Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer”, will collect data from Jupiter and its three moons, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. The three moons are believed to have big oceans of liquid water (液态水) under their icy shells (壳). According to ESA, the water on those moons could be as much as six times the amount in Earth’s oceans. The mission “will change our understanding of the solar system”, wrote Scientific American. In 1998, NASA’s Galileo spacecraft found that Europa might be ejecting (喷射) water as far as 160 kilometers into space. That gave scientists the idea of studying the icy moons of Jupiter. The oceans under these moons are likely to be tens of kilometers deep. But they are also trapped under tens of kilometers of ice, making it very difficult to study them. Although JUICE cannot land on the surface, it has lots of high-tech equipment to study the moon’s environment, including spectral imaging (光谱成像) tools and radar (雷达). They could give more data on things like the thickness (厚度) of the oceans, their salt content (含量), and their distance from the icy shells above, reported Phys.org. “The main goal is to understand whether there are habitable (可居住的) environments among those icy moons and around a giant planet like Jupiter,” JUICE team member Olivier Witasse said during a press conference (发布会) on April 6. 41. JUICE lifted off from________. A. France B. French Guiana C. North America D. China 42. Europa is one of the________of Jupiter. A. moons B. spacecrafts C. planet D. solar system 43. The three moons have a large amount of ________ under their icy shells. A. soil B. ice C. liquid water D. salt 44. The structure of the moons is________. A. insignificant B. the same as that of Earth C. predictable D. unexpected 45. What’s the passage mainly about? A. Exploration of the Moon. B. Exploration of Jupiter. C. The Invention of Spacecraft. D. How to study satellites. D A good reader is like a driver very much. He must change his reading speed(速度)to fit(适应)what he is reading and what he is reading for, just as a driver does to fit the road situation(状况).A good reader may read at 1,000WPM(每分钟……词)when he looks for something for a report in the library. But once he finds what he needs, he may slow down to 100 WPM. A good reader may read newspapers and story books at 600 WPM. But he may read his science or math books at 150 WPM. Just as a driver has a wide(广泛的)change of driving speed, so a good reader has a wide change of reading speed. 46. The writer thinks that a good reader can ______. A. read at 1,000WPM B. read as fast as he can C. spend more time reading D. change the reading speed as he needs 47. _______ decides the speed of reading. A. How many is reading for B.
