Well, you use "lunar bricks", of course! Scientists at the Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) have developed "lunar bricks". They hope to use the bricks to build a base on the moon. To make the bricks, the scientists used a lunar soil simulant（模拟月壤）. The bricks are three times stronger than normal concrete bricks or red bricks. They also have mortise and tenon joint structures （榫印结构），which were used in ancient Chinese buildings. This makes it possible to simply put these bricks together, just like Lego. Professor Zhou Cheng from HUST told Xinhua that they had tested five different kinds of simulated （模拟的）lunar soil and used three ways to harden them. This helped them choose the best materials for making the bricks. Lunar soil isn't the same everywhere on the moon, Zhou added. For example, one of the kinds tested simulates the lunar soil at the landing site of Change 5, which is mainly basalt（玄武岩）. The lunar bricks need to be tested well before being used because the moon has an extreme environment. Quakes（月震）often happen there, and cosmic radiation (宇宙辐射）is high. It gets as hot as 180 C during the day and as cold as -190 C at night. The lunar bricks will be sent to China's space station on the Tianzhou 8 spacecraft. There, scientists will check how well the bricks do in space. The first brick is expected to return to Earth by the end of 2025. China hopes to build a lunar research station between 2028 and 2035. Choose the answer: 16. The lunar bricks are developed to . A. study the lunar soil B. build a base on the moon C. test the weather on the moon D. create stronger building materials on Earth 17. How do the mortise and tenon joint structures help with lunar bricks? A. They make the bricks lighter. B. They make the bricks look good. C. They help save lunar soil simulant. D. They make the building process easier. 18. Why was it necessary for the researchers to test different kinds of lunar soil simulant? A. They wanted to find the best basalt for the bricks. B. They wanted to find materials. C. The soil on the moon changes from place to place. D. The simulant is different from real lunar soil. 19. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? A. Why lunar bricks need to be tested. B. How the lunar bricks were made. C. What the weather is like on the moon. D. How the lunar bricks were tested. 20. What can we learn about the lunar bricks from the passage? A. Scientists are still unhappy with the bricks. B. A base built by lunar bricks was made on Earth. C. They will be tested in China's space station. D. They will soon be used to build a lunar research station.

D “Travel is the body on the road, while reading is the mind on the road. Both offer a way to satisfy our great curiosity,”Ye Zi, a young scholar,said on the new season of the Chinese TV show I Read Books on an Island(《我在岛屿读书》). This weekly show began airing（播出）its third season on Oct 17. On the show. some of China's famous writers, such as Yu Hua and Su Tong, talk about their favorite literature. While the last two seasons were set on islands in southern China, the third season sees the group of writers travel to Crete, the largest island in Greece. "The audience can experience the cultural exchanges between China and the West. We hope that the show will help good literature from China and abroad reach more people," Li Li, a producer of the show, told China Youth Daily. The show tells us the important role of literature in connecting cultures. When the group of writers saw a beautiful sunrise on the island of Crete, they talked about how famous writers from China and the West write about sunrise. Though these writers come from different cultures, their work shows that there's something universal (普世的）about the human experience. Yu also discussed the difference between Chinese and Western literary traditions. He discovered that the sun often symbolizes love in Western literature, while for Chinese writers, the moon stands for love. "The show offers a space for writers, readers and literary works to 'meet' each other, " Yu said in the show. Going further into the world of literature, we can connect with ourselves and the world around us. Answer the questions: 37.Who took part in the third season of the TV show I Read Books on an Island? 38.Where was the new season made? 39.Why was it filmed abroad according to its producer Li Li? 40.What example did Yu Hua give to show the difference between Chinese and Western literary traditions? 41.What did Yu Hua think about the show? 【参考答案】 37.Some famous Chinese writers.; 38.On Crete, the largest island in Greece.; 39.To allow the audience to experience the cultural exchanges between China and the West and help good literature from China and abroad reach more people.; 40.

He has taken his own journey into programming and artificial intelligence (AI, 人工智能）without any traditional education in the subjects. His interest in coding began in third grade when he won first place in a contest.This experience made him excited about coding, leading him to compete in the first Huian County Robotics Competition. "Wanting to learn more, I started studying programming on my own by buying books," Chen said. He began with graphical programming and quickly moved on to languages like C and Java. When generative AT（生成式AD) became popular, Chen found new ways to use AI for different tasks, like writing articles and planning class activities."For math problems, I asked AI for step-by-step solutions," he shared. One of Chen's biggest achievements is an evaluation system he created for his mother, a primary school teacher. This system creates comments for students based on certain keywords.It picks the right words to create clear evaluations, saving his mother time and effort. The system is user-friendly, allowing users to choose different feedback(反馈)types, like positive comments for students who take part well in classes and other comments for those who do not. After making their choices, the program sends the information to an AI model through an application programming interface (应用程序接口）to create the final comments. Looking ahead, Chen wants to develop AI software that talks with users. "It would start conversations, greet users when they turn on their computers and offer help when needed," he said. However, creating such a system is challenging, especially when trying to figure out how to communicate without being annoying. Choose the answer: 42. What made Chen Junhang more interested in learning coding? A. His parents' encouragement. B. His success in a coding contest. C. The professional courses he took. D. A programming book he read. 43. What did Chen do with generative Al? A. Plan class activities. B. Study different languages. C. Build a website. D. Create math problems. 44. What do we know about Chen's evaluation system? A. It helps teachers give suitable comments. B. The comments are just a few keywords. C. The comments are not clear and different enough. D. It gives more good comments than bad comments. 45. What challenge does Chen see in developing his future AI project? A. Getting the AI to teach its users. B. Connecting the AI with other software. C. Making sure the AI talks without being annoying. D. Teaching the AI to understand many languages. 【参考答案】 42-45 BAAC Word Collection： 1.program v.编程；计划；预设；n.程序；节目 2.comment v.评论，发表意见；n.评论；意见；注释 3.figure out 计算出；想出；弄清楚 4.positive adj.乐观的；积极的；赞成的；绝对的 negative adj.负面的；消极的；否定的 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
