A recent landing on the moon has awakened or renewed people’s enthusiasm for the stars and space exploration. Here are four trip ideas to inspire those wouldbe astronauts and astronomers.
Kennedy Space Center, America
The NASAoperated Kennedy Space Center is a must for ambitious astronauts and spacelovers. Handson experiences range from live presentations delivered by astronauts to the new Astronaut Training Experience Center. Children aged 10 to 17 can experience spacewalking and exploring Mars.
North York Moors, England
As an International Dark Sky Reserve in the world, this lovely part of Yorkshire, England is host to the UK's familyfriendly National Parks Dark Skies festival. Well timed to the latter part of autumn half term in England, the festival includes batbox making, evenings with winter birds and moonlit coastal walks.
Pic du Midi, France
There are few observatories where you can observe stars before retiring to a comfortable cabin and watch the sunrise. Getting to the Pic du Midi Observatory is also an adventure by itself, involving a ride on two cablecars up to a 2,877meterhigh mountain. The guided astronomy sessions help kids discover Saturn(土星) and its rings via powerful telescopes.
Mount Teide, Spain
Home to the largest solar observatory in the world, it sits on Spain’s highest mountain. Ride the cablecar up for a scientistled tour, which includes the chance to observe the Sun through handheld solar telescopes.

Education in 2080 is distinctive from education in the 2020s. Until about 2035, the main function of education systems was to supply the economy with the next generation of workers. In 2080, the purpose of education is the wellbeing of society and all its members. To make this a bit more tangible for you, I would like to give an example of what a child’s education looks like in 2080. Her name is Shemsy. Shemsy is 13, and she is confident and loves learning.
Shemsy does not go to school in the morning because schools as you know them no longer exist. The institution was abolished as it was widely thought of as more like a prison or a factory than a creative learning environment. Schools have been replaced with “Learning Hubs” that are not restricted to certain ages. They are where intergenerational learning happens, in line with the belief that learning is a lifelong pursuit.
Every year, Shemsy designs her learning journey for the year with a highly attentive “teachercitizen”. Shemsy is actively engaged in designing her education and has to propose projects she would like to be involved in to contribute to and serve her community. She also spends lots of time playing as the role of play in learning has finally been recognized as essential and core to our humanity. Shemsy works a lot collaboratively. Access to education is universal, and higher education institutions no longer differentiate themselves by how many people they reject yearly. Variability between students is expected and leveraged(利用) as young people teach one another and use their differences as a source of strength. Shemsy naturally explores what she is curious about at a pace she sets. She still has some classes to take that are mandatory for children globally: Being Human and the History of Humanity.
We invite you to think about your vision for education in the year 2080, what does it look like, who does it serve, and how does it transform our societies?
24. What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us?
A. There are different types of education.
B. The present education needs improvements.
C. The goal of future education is fundamentally different.
D. Education and economy are closely associated.
25. What do we know about the Learning Hub that Shemsy goes to?
A. It promotes competition.
B. It accepts students of all ages.
C. It discourages individualized learning.
D. It is all about playbased learning.
26. What does the underlined word “mandatory” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Tough. B. Satisfactory. C. Required. D. Optional.
27. What is the suitable title for the text?
A. An Example to All B. A Journey into the Future
C. A Challenge for Education D. A Vision for Education
C
When I mentioned to some friends that we all have accents, most of them proudly replied, “Well, I speak perfect English/Chinese, etc.” But this kind of response misses the point.
More often than not, what we mean when we say someone “has an accent” is that their accent is different from the local one, or that pronunciations are different from our own. But this definition of accents is limiting and could give rise to prejudice. Funnily enough, in terms of the language study, every person speaks with an accent. It is the regular differences in how we produce sounds that define our accents. Even if you don't hear it yourself, you speak with some sort of accent. In this sense, it's pointless to point out that someone “has an accent”. We all do!
Every person speaks a dialect, too. In the field of language study, a dialect is a version of a language that is characterized by its variations of structure, phrases and words. For instance, “You got eat or not?” (meaning “Have you eaten?”) is an acceptable and understood question in Singapore Oral English. The fact that this expression would cause a standard American English speaker to take pause doesn't mean that Singapore Oral English is “wrong” or “ungrammatical”. The sentence is wellformed and clearly communicative, according to native Singapore English speakers' solid system of grammar. Why should it be wrong just because it's different?
We need to move beyond a narrow conception of accents and dialects—for the benefit of everyone. Language differences like these provide insights into people's cultural experiences and backgrounds. In a global age, the way one speaks is a distinct part of one's identity. Most people would be happy to talk about the cultures behind their speech. We'd learn more about the world we live in and make friends along the way.
28. What does the author think of his/her friends’ response in paragraph 1?
A. It reflects their self confidence.
B. It misses the real meaning of accents.
C. It misses the point of communication.
D. It reflects their language levels.
29. Why does the author use the example of Singapore Oral English?
A. To correct a grammatical mistake. B. To show the diversity of dialects.
C. To justify the use of dialects. D. To highlight a traditional approach.
30. What does the author recommend us to do in the last paragraph?
A. Seek for an official definition of accents.
B. Learn to speak with your local dialect.
C. Appreciate the value of accents and dialects.
D. Distinguish our local languages from others’.
31. What can be a suitable title for this passage?
A. Standard English Is at Risk
B. Accents Enhance Our Identities
C. Dialects Lead to Misunderstanding
D. Everyone Has an Accent
D
Several years ago, Jason Box, a scientist from Ohio, flew 31 giant rolls of white plastic to a glacier(冰川) in Greenland. He and his team spread them across 10,000 feet of ice, then left. His idea was that the white blanket would reflect back the rays of the sun, keeping the ice cool below. When he came back to check the results, he found it worked. Exposed ice had melted faster than covered ice. He had not only saved two feet of glacier in a short time. No coal plants were shut down, no jobs were lost, and nobody was taxed or fired. Just the sort of fix we're looking for.
“Thank you, but no thank you,” says Ralph King, a climate scientist. He told Grey Childs, author and commentator, that people think technology can save the planet, “but there are other things we need to deal with, like consumption. They burned $50,000 just for the helicopter” to bring the plastic to the glacier. This experiment, quoteunquote, gives people false hope that climate change can be fixed without changing human behavior. It can't. Technology won't give us a free ride.
Individuals respond to climate change differently. Climatologist Kelly Smith is hardly alone in her prediction that someday soon we won't be climate victims, we will be climate choosers. More scientists agree with her that if the human race survives, the engineers will get smarter, the tools will get better, and one day we will control the climate. But what then? “Just the mention of us controlling the climate sent a small shiver down my back,” Grey writes. “Something sounded wrong about stopping ice ages by our own will,” he says.
Me? I like it better when the earth takes care of itself. I guess one day we will have to run the place, but for the moment, sitting at my desk, looking out at the trees bending wildly and the wind howling, I'm happy not to be in charge.
32. Why does the author mention Jason Box's experiment in the first paragraph?
A. To report on a successful experiment on saving the glacier.
B. To describe a misleading attempt to fix the climate.
C. To introduce a possible solution to climate change.
D. To arouse people's attention to the problem of global warming.
33. Which statement would Ralph King most probably agree with?
A. The fight against climate change will not succeed.
B. Jason's experiment plays a significant role in fixing climate change.
C. It's best to deal with climate change without changing our behavior.
D. Technology is not the final solution, let alone its high cost.
34. What is Grey Childs’s attitude to human’s controlling the climate?
A. Doubtful. B. Tolerant. C.Favorable. D. Unclear.
35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. How can we take care of the earth?
B. Is climate change a real problem?
C. But should we fix the climate?
D. What if all the glaciers disappeared?

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
What is heritage? The word can be difficult to define. Heritage is always something that is passed down by families or other groups for many years. 36 It can also be the customs, traditions, and values shared by groups of people. One way to think about heritage is to break it down into three groups. These are the tangible(有形的), the natural, and the intangible.
37 It can include many humanmade objects that hold cultural value. Some examples are national monuments and works of art. Many ancient sites are also part of this group. On a smaller scale, a family home can be part of an individual’s heritage.
Many parts of the natural world are also important to cultural heritage. This can include bodies of water, plant life, landforms and more. One example is the Nile River. 38 Efforts to protect natural heritage are key in many cultures.
The intangible group includes any part of cultural heritage that you can't feel through touch. Maybe you’ve read about forms of dance, like Flamenco dancing. You might know about the music of Mariachi Bands or holidays like Eid. These are all examples of intangible heritage. 39
Exploring your own heritage can be fun. It can help you learn about yourself, your family, and your ancestors. But it's also important to learn about the heritage of others. 40 It can also lead you to find things you may have in common with others!
A. They are treasures that can be touched.
B. What tangible items can be part of heritage?
C. Languages, holidays and customs also make the list.
D. However, heritage isn’t limited to concrete objects.
E. Therefore, it’s difficult to protect them from fading away.
F. Doing so can help you build a stronger understanding of other cultures.
G. It has been part of cultural heritage in many African nations for centuries.

“Cold the iron chains spanning over the Dadu River,” Chairman Mao Zedong wrote in a poem, describing the doordie battle which took place on the Luding Bridge. The Bridge, 56 (measure) 103.67 meters in length and 3 meters in width, is located in Sichuan Province, which was 57 (original) built in 1705 during the Qing Dynasty. Near the Luding Bridge considered a historical landmark 58 (stand) a museum, in front of which there is a bronze statue of the soldiers whose spirit makes the bridge a household name.
Over 80 years ago, the bridge was crucial to the survival of the CPCled Red Army during the Long March because if the soldiers had failed to dash through the Luding Bridge then, the Red Army might have been wiped out. Upon their 59 (arrive), the Red Army found only thirteen heavy iron chains 60 (leave) across the river.

Maria and Peter lived in a coastal city. The greatest pleasure in summer for them was to swim at their local beach after school. But one day they started to lose their enthusiasm for swimming in the waters. More often than not, they would find plastic bags thrown on the beach. Worse still, as they swam in the water, some plastic bags would float around them and even stick to their legs when they walked to the shore.
They were upset and decided something needed to be done to stop the beautiful sea becoming consumed by waste. One weekend, Maria and Peter brought a big bag to the beach and determined to clean it up. Sweat streamed down from their forehead while they bent down and picked up the plastic bags. To their disappointment, after a day's hard work, there were still many plastic bags lying on the beach or floating in the water. Going home with aching legs and arms, Maria and Peter were almost defeated by a strong sense of failure.
That night over dinner with their parents, the pair ate silently. Noticing their low spirits, Mother asked gently, “You two looked so down. What happened?” Exchanging glances with Peter, Maria replied in a low voice, “It's those annoying plastic bags. We tried to clean up but it was just impossible.” Understanding the pair's disappointment, their father patted them on the back and comforted, “Well, it's really hard for just two of you to fix such a big problem.” “Just two of us ...” complained Maria and Peter, looking at each other. Suddenly, an idea flashed through their minds, their eyes shining with excitement. “Yes, that's the point!We should make more people aware of the problem and encourage them to take action!” the pair said in chorus.
注意:
1. 写作词数应为150左右;
