B “If I could tell my 11-year-old self something,” says Tiera Fletcher, “I would tell myself not to give up and to focus on the dream at hand.” When she was 11, Fletcher decided that she wanted to become a rocket scientist. Now, years later, she’s part of the team that helped to build NASA’s Space Launch System, which was used to launch the Artemis I mission (任务) . Fletcher was only six years old when she showed an interest in math. “I always loved to solve problems and find an answer,” she says. Her mom also enjoyed math, and she would encourage Fletcher by giving her activities to do, like adding up the costs of their food shopping. Fletcher also learnt how to build things and about the importance of problem-solving from her dad, who was a construction (建筑) worker. She soon became interested in science and design as well, but she didn’t know how to put all of her interests together. She says, “I wanted to be a mathematician, a scientist, an inventor, a designer. I wanted to be all of those things at once.” A turning point for Fletcher was when she took part in an engineering program at the age of 11. She realized that there was a job where people could use math and science to design and build important machines, like planes and space rockets. She no longer felt that she wanted to do four different jobs, because she’d found one that pulled together all of her interests. When Fletcher watched the Artemis I launch, she felt that it wasn’t just an important achievement for history, but for her on a personal level as well. She says, “I was a part of lifting us off the ground. I can’t really think of many other things cooler than that.” 58．What can we know from the second paragraph? A．Fletcher’s mom got interested in math at the age of six. B．Fletcher seldom went shopping with her mom as a child. C．Both Fletcher and her mom could get pleasure from math. D．Fletcher’s mom didn’t like adding up costs of food shopping. 59．What did Fletcher learn from her dad? ①How to build things.         ②The importance of problem-solving. ③How to do different jobs more efficiently.     ④The importance of putting all interests together. A．①② B．①③ C．②③ D．②④ 60．When did Fletcher decide to enter the space industry? A．When she went to watch the Artemis I launch. B．When she took part in an engineering program. C．The minute she fell in love with the subject math. D．The minute she found science and design exciting. 61．What can we learn from Fletcher? A．Better later than never. B．Take things as they come. C．Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. D．Where there’s a will, there’s a way. 62．What is the best title for the passage? A．A famous rocket scientist B．Go for our childhood dreams C．An important space achievement D．Develop problem-solving skills C Could you imagine being in a car driven by a computer, not a human? Recently, China has made a big step toward self-driving technology. Since August, driverless taxis can run on roads in Wuhan, Chongqing and Shenzhen. Why do we develop self-driving cars? Self-driving cars have many advantages. They use computers with many cameras which can sense all the objects close to the car and give the computers another route (路线) . Then the car can take people to the place where they want to go. For disabled or blind people, self-driving cars can also help them get around more easily. According to US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, each year, more than 1.35 million people are killed on roads around the world. It’s reported that self-driving cars could reduce road accidents by 90 percent. The main cause of car accidents is human error (错误) . By using computers, self-driving cars don’t make poor decisions or lose attention like humans do. But self-driving cars aren’t perfect. If something unexpected on the road happens, self-driving cars can’t react as fast as a human driver can. Also, during weather events like heavy snow, self-driving cars wouldn’t see the lines on the road easily. It might lead to an accident. The car’s computer system would be broken by someone, causing it to crash or change its direction. It’s clear that there is a lot of work to do to make self-driving cars a common and safe sight on our roads. And China is taking the lead in making this happen. 63．Which cities are driverless taxis already common in? A．Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. B．Wuhan, Chongqing and Shenzhen. C．Nanjing, Hangzhou and Suzhou. D．Tianjin, Dalian and Qingdao. 64．What is the main cause of car accidents according to the passage? A．Bad weather. B．Car trouble. C．Human error. D．Poor road conditions. 65．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A．What to do when there is bad weather. B．The advantage of having a human driver. C．How to deal with the traffic accidents. D．The weakness of self-driving cars. 66．What can we know from the passage? A．Self-driving cars have caused many problems. B．China is going to cut its costs in self-driving cars. C．Self-driving cars are already commonly seen in the world. D．China is trying to make self- driving cars safer and more common. 67．In which part of a magazine can you read this passage? A．Health. B．Food. C．Science. D．Travel. D There are lots of things that cause stress in our lives, such as school problems, arguments with friends and sometimes bad feelings about ourselves. We all experience stress at times, but it’s important to manage it properly and reduce its influence. Here are some helpful tips for dealing with stress. Sometimes we feel stressed without understanding the reason. So whenever you’re stressed, you should stop and think. What is really happening? How can you improve the situation? Try keeping a diary about your problems and the possible causes. Do you always wait until Sunday evening to do homework? This bad habit can cause “last-minute” stress, as well as poor grades. To avoid that, time management is greatly needed. Plan your studies and other activities with a calendar. You can also divide big projects into smaller tasks. In this way, you’ll always know how much time you really have. Besides, healthy habits are very important for reducing stress. Be sure to eat healthy meals and get at least eight hours of sleep. Avoid checking your mobile phone or using the computer before bedtime. It will keep you awake！ When you’re feeling stressed, it’s helpful to speak to someone who understands your situation, such as your friends and families. Sometimes it’s enough to talk about your problems and share your feelings. Other times, however, you might need advice or suggestions. Don’t keep your worries to yourself. Finally, relaxation is important. Find some free time for activities that you enjoy, such as sports, hobbies and meeting with friends. For example, seeing a film or hanging out after 5 days’ study could be a good choice. If you find some time to relax and enjoy yourself, you’ll feel refreshed, have more energy, and reduce your level of stress. 68．What advice does the writer give to reduce stress in Paragraph 3? A．Stop and think. B．Manage your time. C．Watch your health. D．Reach out for help. 69．How does the writer develop Paragraph 6? A．By telling stories. B．By listing numbers. C．By asking questions. D．By giving examples. 70．Which of the following is the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 71．What’s the best title of the passage? A．How to Improve the Situation B．How to Manage Time C．How to Be Refreshed D．How to Deal with Stress 72．What can we get from the passage? A．We can always find a reason for our stress. B．You can turn to anyone when you are stressed. C．You can spend all your time taking part in all kinds of activities. D．It is very important to find proper ways to deal with stress.

At the same time, it helps your body get vitamin (维生素) D．However, you may feel tired after spending long hours in the sun. 74 ? Here are some reasons to explain it. The first one is that your body doesn’t want to heat up. 75 . If you feel too tired in the sun, it must be a sign that it’s time to take a rest and cool down. 76 . When you sweat (出汗) a lot, your body loses water. As a result, your blood becomes thicker, which makes it hard for your heart to send blood. And it means that less O2 will be sent to your body. The low level of O2 will make you feel even more tired. This is also why you should drink water after doing sports. And another reason is sunburn, which is your skin’s way to fight against the UV (紫外线) in the sunlight. 77 . And this is also tiring for your body. So, staying in the sun too long easily leads to tiredness. As you can see, the sun is both your enemy and friend. Warming light is good for you, but tiredness shows that your body has too much sunlight in the day. A．The second reason is lack of (缺乏) water B．When does the sun make you tired C．Why does the life-giving star make you tired D．The sun makes plants grow and produce food E．So it has to use a lot of energy to cool itself down F．As a form of protection, your skin turns red G．Many people enjoy spending a long time in the sun 五、补全对话（共5分） 请阅读下面对话，根据对话内容从下面的七个选项中选择五个填入空白处，使对话通顺、合理，意思完整，并在答题卡上将其序号涂黑。一空一句。 (Li Ming is talking with Daniel, a British exchange student.)
