Get the students at your school to make funny sculptures(雕塑品), using all kinds of art materials. Sell tickets to your Red Nose Day exhibition(展览). People can buy a red nose at supermarkets, and part of the money goes to Comic Relief. The organization has helped people for 35 years by 2020. And how much money have they collected since the first Red Nose Day? More than 600 million! The idea of Red Nose Day has travelled to other countries, too.

With clean and fresh air, you are more likely to stay away from colds, sore throats and dry coughs. And even if you do get sick, Aloe Vera plants may help you get better from the illness faster. Did you know that Aloe Vera plants can be used as medicine? Aloe Vera gel helps to deal with the pain of burns. And it also helps with itchiness (痒) caused by insect bites.

Apart from medical use, Aloe Vera plants are also popular in food industry. Whether you are interested in Aloe juice or crazy about Aloe yogurt, you’ll easily find them in the supermarket. Aloe Vera can also go with other vegetables to make a safe dish on your dinner table. ▲ . They like dry, warm air with bright light, so they grow best when placed near a window. Aloe Vera plants are able to keep water in their leaves. So, they do not need to be watered so often as most house plants. Just wait until the earth is completely dry before you water them. When watering, make sure the earth is wet enough so that it can last for a long time. That’s all you need to do to take care of an Aloe Vera plant.

It seems that stars are moving all the time. Actually, there’s nothing wrong with your eyes. This twinkle (闪烁的) effect is called scintillation (闪烁现象). Scintillation happens because of air movement in the earth’s atmosphere (大气). Light is “bent (弯曲)” when it travels through different parts of the earth atmosphere. As the air in the earth’s atmosphere is moving all the time, the light traveling through the atmosphere makes the stars look as if they are moving, too. The same thing also happens to things on the ground. On a very hot and shiny day, if you look at the road, you will see that the image (影像) in the distance is not clear and things move slightly. You can also see the same effect if you drop a rock into water. The rock appears a little unclear under the moving water. This twinkling effect causes a lot of problems for astronomers (天文学家), because they cannot observe the stars clearly. So, a telescope was needed in space so that the air movements in the atmosphere could be avoided. It took a long time to build the space telescope but finally in 1990, a huge space telescope called the Hubble Space Telescope was successfully sent into space.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了一种发生在大气中的自然现象——星辰闪烁现象，并说明了其产生原因以及影响。 【48题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“It seems that stars are moving all the time.”可知，星星似乎一直在移动，感觉眼睛欺骗了自己，所以deceiving含义为“欺骗”。故选A。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Scintillation happens because of air movement in the earth’s atmosphere (大气)... the light traveling through the atmosphere makes the stars look as if they are moving, too.”可知，我们知道了大气中的闪烁是如何发生的。故选B。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Light is “bent (弯曲)” when it travels through different parts of the earth atmosphere.”及第三段“You can also see the same effect if you drop a rock into water. The rock appears a little unclear under the moving water.”可知，当一块石头落入流动的水中时，它看起来有点不清楚，是因为光线在水中传播时会“弯曲”。故选B。 【51题详解】 代词指代题。根据第四段“This twinkling effect causes a lot of problems for astronomers (天文学家), because they cannot observe the stars clearly.”可知，他们无法清楚地观察星星，此处“they”指的是天文学家。故选D。 【52题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要解释了闪烁现象。故选A。 B) (每小题2分) 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面的七个选项中，选择五个还原到文章中，使短文意思通顺，结构完整。 Traveling teaches us a lot of things that nothing else can.

Besides, powered by China’s BeiDou Navigation Satellite System, over 5, 000 drones in Xinjiang spread seeds, fertilizer（化肥）and pesticides（农药）faster than humans.

B The Comic Relief charity an organization that helps people in need, uses laughter to raise money. Every two years in spring, many English people put on a red nose, make a fool of themselves and do “silly” things to make themselves and others laugh. Here are some examples of “silly things” you can do. Invite friends to your house to watch funny films. They have to pay to watch the film—those with the most comfortable chairs pay more—and for food and drinks. Hold a talent show at school and ask your friends and teachers to sing, dance or tell jokes. Sell tickets for the show to the rest of the school. Have a “red nose party” at your house. All your friends come dressed in red-including red nose and you serve red food and drinks. If they don’t wear red, they have to pay a fine. Get the students at your school to make funny sculptures(雕塑品), using all kinds of art materials. Sell tickets to your Red Nose Day exhibition(展览). People can buy a red nose at supermarkets, and part of the money goes to Comic Relief. The organization has helped people for 35 years by 2020. And how much money have they collected since the first Red Nose Day? More than 600 million! The idea of Red Nose Day has travelled to other countries, too. In New Zcaland, for example, people have made big red noses which they put on the front of cars and even buildings! 40. What is Comic Relief? A. An organization that helps people in need. B. A talent show that is held at school. C. An exhibition that shows funny sculptures. D. A red nose party that is held at home. 41. When did Comic Relief first help people? A. In 1935. B. In 1985. C.

To remind people of wearing red. 43. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A B. C. D. C Would you like to get fewer colds and feel better? Would you like to have a taste of a special plant? Would you like to keep a plant with little care? An Aloe Vera plant could be just what the scientists may suggest! Growing Aloe Vera plants at home can make the air clean and fresh. Studies have shown that they give off oxygen (氧气) and take away harmful things from the air. With clean and fresh air, you are more likely to stay away from colds, sore throats and dry coughs. And even if you do get sick, Aloe Vera plants may help you get better from the illness faster. Did you know that Aloe Vera plants can be used as medicine? Aloe Vera gel helps to deal with the pain of burns. And it also helps with itchiness (痒) caused by insect bites. To get this gel, just cut off a part of the plant, peel it, and put the gel on the affected skin (患处). This easy-to-get and safe-to-use medicine is available to you all year round. Apart from medical use, Aloe Vera plants are also popular in food industry. Whether you are interested in Aloe juice or crazy about Aloe yogurt, you’ll easily find them in the supermarket. Aloe Vera can also go with other vegetables to make a safe dish on your dinner table. ▲ . They like dry, warm air with bright light, so they grow best when placed near a window. Aloe Vera plants are able to keep water in their leaves. So, they do not need to be watered so often as most house plants. Just wait until the earth is completely dry before you water them. When watering, make sure the earth is wet enough so that it can last for a long time. That’s all you need to do to take care of an Aloe Vera plant.

This passage possibly can be read from a book on ________. A. medicine B. history C. education D. science D When you look up into the sky at night, have you ever felt that your eyes are deceiving you? It seems that stars are moving all the time. Actually, there’s nothing wrong with your eyes. This twinkle (闪烁的) effect is called scintillation (闪烁现象). Scintillation happens because of air movement in the earth’s atmosphere (大气). Light is “bent (弯曲)” when it travels through different parts of the earth atmosphere. As the air in the earth’s atmosphere is moving all the time, the light traveling through the atmosphere makes the stars look as if they are moving, too. The same thing also happens to things on the ground. On a very hot and shiny day, if you look at the road, you will see that the image (影像) in the distance is not clear and things move slightly. You can also see the same effect if you drop a rock into water. The rock appears a little unclear under the moving water. This twinkling effect causes a lot of problems for astronomers (天文学家), because they cannot observe the stars clearly. So, a telescope was needed in space so that the air movements in the atmosphere could be avoided. It took a long time to build the space telescope but finally in 1990, a huge space telescope called the Hubble Space Telescope was successfully sent into space. Since then, astronomers have made many important observations that have helped people understand space better. 48. The underline word “deceiving” in Paragraph 1 means ________. A. 欺骗 B. 帮助 C. 嘲笑 D. 闪烁 49. What can we learn from the second paragraph? A. How scintillation does harm to our eyes? B. How scintillation happens in the atmosphere? C. Why light can travel through the atmosphere? D. Why the atmosphere air is moving all the time? 50. When a rock is dropped into the moving water, it appears a little unclear. Why? A. Because the water is too light to lift the rock up. B. Because the light is “bent” when traveling through the water. C. Because the water becomes dirty when the light travels through it. D. Because the rock becomes dirty when the light travels through the water. 51. The underlined world “they” in Paragraph 4 refers to ________. A. stars B. problems C. telescopes D. astronomers 52. The passage is written to ________. A. explain scintillation B. explain how a telescope works C. tell something about Hubble Space Telescope D. tell us the twinkling effect causes a lot of problems B) (每小题2分) 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面的七个选项中，选择五个还原到文章中，使短文意思通顺，结构完整。 Traveling teaches us a lot of things that nothing else can.
