A. storybook B. health survey C. tour magazine D. news report Every morning you get up, wash your face, brush your teeth, eat breakfast and get ready for your day. These daily actions are so common that you don’t think about them much. But what if you were in space? There is no gravity (重力) there, so weights are not as heavy as they are on earth. When you drop something, it doesn’t fall to the floor. It floats slowly away in the air. This means that astronauts can’t just put down a tool. They need to tie it down. And how do astronaut drink? In space, water just breaks into small drops and floats in the air. Well, astronauts eat and drink differently in space. They have special place so that their food doesn’t float away. They use special bags for drinks so that the drink stays inside. Sleep is also different in space. Astronauts tie themselves to the wall so that they don’t float around when they are sleeping. Since they have to work hard, they need to get plenty of rest. The sun rises and sets so often that it can be confusing. The astronauts have alarms and sometimes music to wake them up. Exercise is important for astronauts as well. Since there is no gravity and astronauts float instead of walking or running, their muscles become weak very quickly. They have to exercise on special machines everyday so that this doesn’t happen. No one wants to become ill in space and exercise help them stay healthy. However, it is not all hard work in space. When they are not doing science experiments, writing reports or exercising, there is a little time for fun. They watch movies, read the news and call family members and friends. The astronauts on the International Space Station can even connect to the Internet. 31. If an astronaut dropped something, where would it go? A. Fall to the floor. B. Break into small pieces. C. Float in the air. D. Drop in special places. 32. How do astronauts sleep in space? A. They float in the air. B. They sleep in special bags. C. They tie themselves to the wall. D. They sleep on the floor. 33. Why do astronauts need to do some exercise? A. They eat and drink differently. B The sun rises and sets so often. C. Their muscles become weak very quickly. D. They need to exercise for fun. 34. What work do astronauts do in space? A. They watch movies and read the news. B. They learn to eat and drink in space. C. They play the musical instruments. D. They do science experiments and write reports. 35. What’s the best title of this passage? A. The daily life of an astronaut B. Work in space C. There is no gravity in space D.

Niagara Falls is really beautiful, but as for height, the most fantastic one in the world is Angel Falls. It is deep in the jungles (丛林) of Venezuela and stands about 979 meters tall-about 15 times higher than Niagara Falls. Few people have ever seen Angel Falls. It’s very hard to get there. If you go there on foot, you have to travel for weeks through thick jungles filled with wild animals and dangerous plants. If you go by plane from Caracas, a city on the southern coast, it will take about four hours. One interesting thing about Angel Falls is how people found them. They named them after an American pilot. His name was Jimmy Angel. In 1937 his plane crashed (坠毁) near the top of the falls while he was searching for gold. That’s how he found them. Luckily, Jimmy Angel and his passengers survived (幸存) the crash. Angel Falls drops nearly a kilometer from a table-top mountain. The water seems to be dropping straight out of the clouds. The height of the falls is very great. By the time the water reaches the ground, it has already turned into fog. During the dry season, there might not be much water, but in the rainy season, the falls are amazing to see. Many people consider Angel Falls to be nature’s most wonderful creation. 根据短文内容，判断下列句子正 (T)、(F)。 41. Niagara Falls is deep in the jungles of Venezuela. 42.

The umbrellas take more than 70 steps to make in Yuhang, so it takes at least a week to make an umbrella. In 2007, these umbrellas were added to Zhejiang Province’s Intangible Cultural Heritage List (非物质文化遗产名录). In 2015, Liu Weixue left a well-paid job to learn the art of making Yuhang oil paper umbrellas from his grandfather. “I want to bring the art to life,” Liu said. “When it rains, someone uses the umbrella—that’s what I want to see.” After getting the skills Liu opened a studio (工作坊) and he improved the umbrellas to win the hearts of young people. As the thin paper was easy to break, he started to use a kind of thicker paper. In a test, his umbrellas were opened and closed for 1,000 times without breaking. In 2017, Liu opened an online shop to sell umbrellas. It now has more than 80,000 followers. To keep the quality (质量), his studio makes only 1,000 umbrellas each year. Liu hopes the art can be passed on. He goes to some schools in Yuhang to teach students. He also goes to events in different places to show the art to more people. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 51.
