A recent experiment at the Tiangong space station makes a big step forward. Chinese astronauts have successfully grown rice seedlings (幼苗) during the Shenzhou XⅣ task. “The rice seedlings are growing very well,” said Zheng Huiqiong, a researcher from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Since the rice experiment began on July 29, the seedlings of the tall shoot rice variety (品种) have reached a height of 30 centimeters. The seedlings of the short shoot rice variety have grown to 5 centimeters, China Daily reported on Aug. 30. While there have been other rice experiments in space, this one is the first of its kind to produce the complete life cycle of a plant—it begins with a seed and ends with a grown plant producing new seeds. Such food-growing experiments are not just for astronauts. They can also solve food problems on Earth. By sending seeds to space, we can change the genes of seeds, thanks to micro-gravity, the special space light and the lack (缺乏) of air. Then, the production of these seeds is greatly increased on Earth. For more than 30 years, China has developed over 260 new types of seeds in space. They are widely planted in the field every year. According to Yao Tong, an engineer from a research center, 30 percent of strawberries sold in Beijing are “space strawberries”, which are as big as eggs. The center has also produced “space tomatoes” with the production increased by 30 percent, and “space bananas” with a growth shortened from 13 months to 9 months. 1．Why does the writer mention the first satellite sent by humans in Paragraph 1? A．To explain the food shortage in space. B．To introduce some Chinese man-made satellites. C．To show the achievement of Chinese farming technology. D．To show the improvement of growing food in space. 2．What can we know from the experiment at Tiangong space station? A．Its plant has a complete life cycle. B．Its seedlings come from the Earth. C．It begins with a fully-grown plant. D．It uses completely new rice varieties. 3．Why do we grow food in space? a. To feed astronauts.     b. To study micro-gravity.      c. To increase production on Earth.         d. To research on the space light. A．ab B．bc C．bd D．ac 4．What can we know from the last two paragraphs? A．Over 260 new types of seeds are planted every year. B．30 percent of “space strawberries” can be as big as eggs. C．Space tomatoes can be produced in a shorter time. D．People don’t need to worry about food anymore. 5．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To show the influence of space planting. B．To introduce space planting and its advantages. C．To explain why space planting is successful. D．To sell products planted in space. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．D 4．A 5．B 【难度】0.85 【知识点】说明文、航天与航空 【导语】本文主要讲述中国科学家在天宫空间站成功进行了水稻种植实验，这是首次在太空中完成植物的完整生命周期，此外，通过太空种子技术，中国已开发出多种新品种农作物，提高了地球上的粮食产量和质量。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“Since humans sent the first satellite to space in the 1950s, scientists have been studying an important topic: how to grow food in space if humans will one day live there. A recent experiment at the Tiangong space station makes a big step forward.”可知，作者在第一段提到人类发射的第一颗卫星是展示在太空种植食物的进步。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“this one is the first of its kind to produce the complete life cycle of a plant—it begins with a seed and ends with a grown plant producing new seeds”可知，从天宫空间站的实验中我们可以知道它的植物有完整的生命周期。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Such food-growing experiments are not just for astronauts. They can also solve food problems on Earth…the production of these seeds is greatly increased on Earth.”可知，我们要在太空中种植食物是给宇航员提供食物以及增加地球上的食物产量。故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“For more than 30 years, China has developed over 260 new types of seeds in space. They are widely planted in the field every year.” 可知，每年种植260多种新型种子。故选A。 5．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章讲述中国科学家在天宫空间站成功进行了水稻种植实验，这是首次在太空中完成植物的完整生命周期，此外，通过太空种子技术，中国已开发出多种新品种农作物，提高了地球上的粮食产量和质量，所以这篇文章的写作目的是介绍空间种植及其优势。故选B。 C Some time ago, I was chatting with a Chinese friend about the famous places of interest in New York. When he asked me to compare two art museums, I said, “Ah, they’re just like chalk and cheese.” My answer left my friend confused. The expression was clearly over his head. At that moment, I realized it’s easy to puzzle people from non-English-speaking countries with our idioms (习语). But learning idioms can be fun! Let’s start with “like chalk and cheese”. It means two things are completely different. Just think about it. Cheese is soft and smooth, while chalk is dry, hard and dusty. What a big difference! Then what does “like a dog with a bone” mean? If you’ve seen a dog protecting its bone, it will be easy to understand. This idiom means someone is stubborn (固执的) and won’t give up a topic or task. Got it? There’s also another idiom “as the crow flies”. I made a mistake about it in a school exam. It refers to the shortest distance between two points, which is a straight line or the most direct route (路线). There are many interesting idioms to explore in one short article. If you’re interested, you can look up the meanings of “a dog’s dinner” “the bee’s knees” and “beat about the bush” and learn to use them. Idioms make language more interesting. Have fun with them! 1．What does the underlined word “confused” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．Puzzled. B．Frightened. C．Worried. D．Relaxed. 2．The idiom “like chalk and cheese” means ________ according to the text. A．two things are very similar B．two things are completely different C．two things are hard to find D．two things are both food products 3．How did the author feel about learning idioms? A．Boring. B．Difficult. C．Exciting. D．Enjoyable. 4．According to the passage, what can you do if you want to learn more idioms? A．Ask your English teacher. B．Watch English movies. C．Look them up by yourself. D．Travel to English-speaking countries. 5．What’s the main idea of the text? A．To discuss the history of English idioms. B．To compare English idioms with Chinese idioms. C．To show how to use idioms correctly. D．To introduce various English idioms. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．C 5．D 【难度】0.85 【知识点】说明文、语言与文化 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了几个非英语国家不了解的习语。 1．词句猜测题。根据第一段“The expression was clearly over his head. At that moment, I realized it’s easy to puzzle people from non-English-speaking countries with our idioms (习语).”可知这个短语显然超出了他的理解范围，我也意识到我们的习语很容易让非英语国家的人感到困惑。由此猜测画线词的意思是“困惑的”，选项A“困惑的”，与之相符，故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“It means two things are completely different.”可知“like chalk and cheese”意思是两个东西完全不同，故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据第一段“But learning idioms can be fun!”可知学习习语是充满乐趣的，由此推断作者认为学习习语是令人愉快的。故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段“If you’re interested, you can look up the meanings of “a dog’s dinner” “the bee’s knees” and “beat about the bush” and learn to use them.”可知如果你对习语感兴趣，你可以自己查阅。故选C。 5．最佳标题题。阅读全文，可知文章主要向我们介绍了几个不同的非英语国家不熟悉的习语。故选D。   【提升题】 A In recent years, more and more people have thought that the younger generation is staying away from the news, and as a result, however, couldn’t be further from the truth, 85% of youngsters say that keeping up to date with the news is important to them, and 69% receive news every day.

At present, young people don’t depend on social media for the serious news. For these kinds of news. According to a study, motivations (动机) for following the news are also diverse according to the generation. For the younger generation, the news is largely about being convenient.

It has been discussed by teachers and parents. Some think that it is a useful skill for students, while others think it’s a waste of time, some even think it’s just a show. But do they really understand cooking? It’s been said that good cooking is an art form. The truth is that it’s much more than that. While talking about different foods from all around the world, or cultures and histories of dishes, students are connected to the world and learning history and culture in a new field besides learning cooking. Students measure (称量) materials from time to time, or find oil and water don’t usually mix. Students are also learning maths and science in practice…     ★  Li Mei, 11, was crazy about the yummy cakes made by her father and wanted to make one on her own. But when taking her cake out, she was upset to find that the cake was hard and black at the bottom. Her father told her when he was 13, he tried to make cakes, but wasted boxes of eggs. Then together with father, Li Mei found out what had gone wrong and succeeded in making one. Li Mei learned in the failure of cooking, and could be braver to face failures. Apart from (除了) the practical skills, cooking builds character. It encourages kids to work with others. It also encourages them to be open to foods they might not have tried. Though being good to our health, carrots were hated by 12-year-old Xiao Lei. But he started to love them after he made a salad with them. By cooking, students put down their phones and work together with family members in the kitchen. By cooking, students form the habit of doing labor (劳动) work. . . As a part of labor education, cooking is a way to teach kids vital 21st century skills, such as creativity, team work and so on. If these skills aren’t taught to today’s students, they might hardly survive (生存) in the future. 1．According to the writer, “learning cooking” in primary schools ________.

Wang talked excitedly about finding such a treasure. “We got over 2,450 kilograms of large yellow croakers (黄花鱼) in a net on Friday,” Wang said. “And the heaviest one weighed more than 2 kilograms. I’ve been fishing for 29 years but never caught so many yellow croakers of this size before. ” There used to be many large wild yellow croakers in the East China Sea, but the number has been reducing for about 45 years due to overfishing. In 1979, Zhejiang started a yearly seasonal moratorium (暂停) on fishing. Wang said that the number of wild yellow croakers has increased because of the marine (海洋的) protection efforts. Fishermen from Xiangshan have made great contributions, too. In 2000, 21 fishermen in Xiangshan founded China’s first volunteer organization to better protect the seas and oceans around the world. Today, more than 10,000 people have been in the organization. Later, three fishermen from the county wrote to the secretary-general of the United Nations, calling on people around the world to protect the seas together. Zhao Benhao, head of the Xiangshan Fishing Organization, says that although harvesting more than 1,000 kg of large yellow croakers doesn’t happen often, he hopes that marine protection will continue and more fishermen will have big hauls (大收获) in the future. 1．When did Wang Hengli start fishing？ A．In 1979.

B Since humans sent the first satellite to space in the 1950s, scientists have been studying an important topic: how to grow food in space if humans will one day live there. A recent experiment at the Tiangong space station makes a big step forward. Chinese astronauts have successfully grown rice seedlings (幼苗) during the Shenzhou XⅣ task. “The rice seedlings are growing very well,” said Zheng Huiqiong, a researcher from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Since the rice experiment began on July 29, the seedlings of the tall shoot rice variety (品种) have reached a height of 30 centimeters. The seedlings of the short shoot rice variety have grown to 5 centimeters, China Daily reported on Aug. 30. While there have been other rice experiments in space, this one is the first of its kind to produce the complete life cycle of a plant—it begins with a seed and ends with a grown plant producing new seeds. Such food-growing experiments are not just for astronauts. They can also solve food problems on Earth. By sending seeds to space, we can change the genes of seeds, thanks to micro-gravity, the special space light and the lack (缺乏) of air. Then, the production of these seeds is greatly increased on Earth. For more than 30 years, China has developed over 260 new types of seeds in space. They are widely planted in the field every year. According to Yao Tong, an engineer from a research center, 30 percent of strawberries sold in Beijing are “space strawberries”, which are as big as eggs. The center has also produced “space tomatoes” with the production increased by 30 percent, and “space bananas” with a growth shortened from 13 months to 9 months. 1．Why does the writer mention the first satellite sent by humans in Paragraph 1? A．To explain the food shortage in space. B．To introduce some Chinese man-made satellites. C．To show the achievement of Chinese farming technology. D．To show the improvement of growing food in space. 2．What can we know from the experiment at Tiangong space station? A．Its plant has a complete life cycle. B．Its seedlings come from the Earth. C．It begins with a fully-grown plant. D．It uses completely new rice varieties. 3．Why do we grow food in space? a. To feed astronauts.     b. To study micro-gravity.      c. To increase production on Earth.         d. To research on the space light. A．ab B．bc C．bd D．ac 4．What can we know from the last two paragraphs? A．Over 260 new types of seeds are planted every year. B．30 percent of “space strawberries” can be as big as eggs. C．Space tomatoes can be produced in a shorter time. D．People don’t need to worry about food anymore. 5．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To show the influence of space planting. B．To introduce space planting and its advantages. C．To explain why space planting is successful. D．To sell products planted in space. C Some time ago, I was chatting with a Chinese friend about the famous places of interest in New York. When he asked me to compare two art museums, I said, “Ah, they’re just like chalk and cheese.” My answer left my friend confused. The expression was clearly over his head. At that moment, I realized it’s easy to puzzle people from non-English-speaking countries with our idioms (习语). But learning idioms can be fun! Let’s start with “like chalk and cheese”. It means two things are completely different. Just think about it. Cheese is soft and smooth, while chalk is dry, hard and dusty. What a big difference! Then what does “like a dog with a bone” mean? If you’ve seen a dog protecting its bone, it will be easy to understand. This idiom means someone is stubborn (固执的) and won’t give up a topic or task. Got it? There’s also another idiom “as the crow flies”. I made a mistake about it in a school exam. It refers to the shortest distance between two points, which is a straight line or the most direct route (路线). There are many interesting idioms to explore in one short article. If you’re interested, you can look up the meanings of “a dog’s dinner” “the bee’s knees” and “beat about the bush” and learn to use them. Idioms make language more interesting. Have fun with them! 1．What does the underlined word “confused” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．Puzzled. B．Frightened. C．Worried. D．Relaxed. 2．The idiom “like chalk and cheese” means ________ according to the text. A．two things are very similar B．two things are completely different C．two things are hard to find D．two things are both food products 3．How did the author feel about learning idioms? A．Boring. B．Difficult. C．Exciting. D．Enjoyable. 4．According to the passage, what can you do if you want to learn more idioms? A．Ask your English teacher. B．Watch English movies. C．Look them up by yourself. D．Travel to English-speaking countries. 5．What’s the main idea of the text? A．To discuss the history of English idioms. B．To compare English idioms with Chinese idioms. C．To show how to use idioms correctly. D．To introduce various English idioms. 【提升题】 A In recent years, more and more people have thought that the younger generation is staying away from the news, and as a result, however, couldn’t be further from the truth, 85% of youngsters say that keeping up to date with the news is important to them, and 69% receive news every day.
