Here's a look at the various traditions. France Mother's Day in France only started in the 1950s. After World War I, it was celebrated on the last Sunday in May, unless it conflicted with the Pentecost（五旬节）. If it did, mothers were celebrated on the first Sunday of June. Regardless of the day, a traditional gif is a flower-shaped cake. Japan Following WWI, Mother's Day in Japan gained some popularity, and it is now celebrated on the second Sunday of May. Gifts include red or pink conations（康乃馨） as they symbolize sweetness and purity. Children will often draw pictures of their mothers and present them to mom in addition to preparing dishes that their mothers have taught them. Sweden Celebrated on the last Sunday in May, the day isn't all that different from the U. S. version. There's breakfast in bed and homemade cards and the like. One difference is that the Swedish Red Cross collects money by selling red plastic flowers. The money from the flowers goes to mothers and children in need. Thailand While all mothers are recognized during Mother's Day in Thailand, the holiday is largely centered on Sirikit, the queen mother of Thailand. Mother's Day is celebrated on her birthday, August 12, and public places and households are decorated with lights and pictures of Sirikit. Flowers like jasmine are popular gifts. 1. What do Japanese children usually do for their mothers on Mother's Day? A. Buy pictures. B. Cook meals. C. Grow flowers. D. Present cards. 2. Which country has a fixed date for Mother's Day? A. France. B. Japan. C. Thailand. D. Sweden. 3. What's the author's purpose in writing the text? A. To tell us how different countries celebrate Mother's Day. B. To protect traditions of Mother's Day in different places. C. To introduce the origin and development of Mother's Day. D. To call on us to show respect for our mother on Mother's Day. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是说明文。主要介绍了世界上不同国家是如何庆祝母亲节的。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段 Japan 部分最后一句“Children will often draw pictures of their mothers and present them to mom in addition to preparing dishes that their mothers have taught them. (孩子们通常会画出母亲的画像并送给母亲，除此之外，他们还会准备母亲教他们的菜肴。)”可知, 日本的孩子通常在母亲节为妈妈做饭。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。从最后一段 Thailand 部分的“Mother's Day is celebrated on her birthday, August 12(在她的生日8月12日庆祝母亲节)”可知, 在泰国, 人们在 8 月 12 日庆祝母亲节, 这个日期是固定的。故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。从全文尤其是第一段最后一句“Here’s a look at the various traditions.(下面我们来看看各种各样的传统。) ”可知, 作者的写作目的是为了介绍不同国家庆祝母亲节的不同传统，告诉我们不同的国家如何庆祝母亲节的。故选A。 B Salad seeds (生菜种子) that went on a round trip to outer space and back grew at a slightly slower rate than the ones on earth, scientists found, thanks to thousands of young people who helped conduct an out-of-this-world experiment. The project started in 2015, when British astronaut Tim Peake took a million seeds with him on his journey to the International Space Station (ISS). The seeds spent six months there before they were sent back to Earth in 2016. In a message sent from the ISS, Peake said the purpose of the science experiment was to find out if the conditions in space affected the seeds’ ability to grow. Around 600,000 pupils at 8,600 schools in the UK were then asked to grow the rocket seeds that had been to space, along with regular seeds that had never left the planet. Peake described the experiment as “one of the largest and most inspirational experiments of its kind”. The results of the study, which have just been published, found that the space seeds grew more slowly than the ones that had stayed on Earth. Researchers on the experiment said this was due to the stresses of space travel, such as the zero-gravity (零重力) atmosphere and high levels of cosmic rays (宇宙射线), which slowed the growth of the plants. Now researchers are hopeful that if the seeds are properly protected, it might be possible to grow plants during future space tasks to other planets. Dr Jake Chandler, from University of London, who led the study, said, “The possibility of eating home-grown salad on Mars may be one small step closer.” 4. Why did Tim Peake take seeds to ISS? A. To explore the secret to gravity. B. To have astronauts grow salad in ISS. C. To promote young kids’ interest in salad. D. To test the space’s influence on seeds’ growth. 5. How did Tim Peake feel about the experiment? A. Encouraged. B. Disappointed. C. Confused. D. Concerned. 6. From which part of a website is the text probably taken? A. Health. B. Science. C. Education. D. Business. 7. What could be the best title of the text? A. Space study, a hot topic B. Salad growing, a hit among students C. The conditions in space affect the seeds’ growth D. Man’s exploration to Mars, a big step forward 【答案】4 D 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了太空条件会影响生菜种子的生长。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Peake said the purpose of the science experiment was to find out if the conditions in space affected the seeds’ ability to grow.”（Peake说科学实验的目的是弄清楚太空条件是否会影响种子的生长能力。）可知，Peake把种子带到太空是为了测试太空条件对种子生长的影响。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Peake described the experiment as “one of the largest and most inspirational experiments of its kind”.”（皮克称这项实验是“这种实验中规模最大、最鼓舞人心的实验之一”。）可知，对于这次实验，Peake是备受鼓舞的。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Salad seeds that went on a round trip to outer space and back grew at a slightly slower rate than the ones on earth, scientists found, thanks to thousands of young people who helped conduct an out-of-this-world experiment.”（科学家们发现，由于成千上万的年轻人参与了一项“走出地球”的实验，往返于外太空的生菜种子的生长速度比地球上的稍慢。）可知，文章可能来自网站的科学部分。故选B项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章主要介绍了太空条件会影响生菜种子的生长，所以“太空条件影响种子的生长”可以作为文章标题。故选C项。 C Afternoon tea, the most typical of English customs, is, perhaps surprisingly, a relatively new tradition. The custom of drinking tea became popular in England during the 1660s thanks to King Charles II and his wife, and it was not until the mid-19th century that the concept of “afternoon tea” first appeared. Afternoon tea was introduced by Anna, the Duchess of Bedford, in the year 1840. At that time lunch was taken early but the evening meal was served fashionably late at eight o'clock, leaving a long period of time between the two meals. The Duchess would become hungry in the afternoon, so she asked that tea and cake be brought to her room around four o'clock. This became a habit of hers and later she began inviting friends to join her. This palace tea party was such a success that it soon spread to London and other places in UK as a fashionable social event. During the 1880’s, upper-class women would dress up for their afternoon tea, also known as “low tea” because tea was taken while sitting in low, comfortable chairs or sofas. While Low Tea was largely a game for the upper class, “high tea” was a necessary meal for working class families. During the second half of the Victorian Period, working families would return home late tired and exhausted. As the most important meal of the day, the table would be set with meats, bread, butter, cheese and of course, a pot of good, strong tea to lift their spirits. Because it was eaten at a high, dining table, it was called “high” tea. To experience the best of the afternoon tea tradition, treat yourself with a trip to one of London’s finest hotels. There are also a wide selection of old-fashioned tearooms offering afternoon tea experience. We provide very British afternoon tea experience trips during your stay in London. Just tell your tour guide when you want to taste the culture and we will arrange everything for you with a very reasonable charge. It’ll be a once in a lifetime experience. Don’t miss it. 8. Why did the Duchess of Bedford need afternoon tea? A. It’s a fashionable palace social event. B. It’s a tradition from King Charles II. C. The evening meal was too late for her. D. She wanted to spread tea culture in UK. 9. What do we know about high tea? A. It was a game for the upper class. B. It was started by Queen Victoria. C. It was an occasional social activity. D. It was highly important to working class. 10. Which of the following statement is NOT true according to the text? A. Low tea was mostly enjoyed by upper-class ladies. B. Low tea was eaten while sitting in low chairs or sofas. C. The tea making peopled spirits high was called high tea. D. High tea was taken by working class at a high dinning table. 11. What’s the main purpose of this passage? A. To explain the origin of afternoon tea. B. To advertise for tea experience trips. C. To honor the tradition of drinking tea. D. To introduce two afternoon tea types. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍关于英国下午茶的一些风俗，最后号召游客体验下午茶。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“At that time lunch was taken early but the evening meal was served fashionably late at eight o’clock, leaving a long period of time between the two meals. The Duchess would become hungry in the afternoon, so she asked that tea and cake be brought to her room around four o’clock.(当时午餐吃得很早，但晚餐很时髦是在八点钟后，两餐之间有很长一段时间。公爵夫人下午会饿，所以她要求在四点钟左右把茶和蛋糕送到她的房间。)”可知，主要是因为晚餐供应时间离午餐太久，所以（会饥饿的）公爵夫人要喝下午茶。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“While Low Tea was largely a game for the upper class, “high tea” was a necessary meal for working class families.(虽然“下午茶（Low Tea）”在很大程度上是上层阶级的游戏，但“下午茶（high tea）”却是工薪阶层家庭必不可少的一餐。）”以及“As the most important meal of the day, the table would be set with meats, bread, butter, cheese and of course, a pot of good, strong tea to lift their spirits.(作为一天中最重要的一餐，餐桌上摆满了肉、面包、黄油、奶酪，当然还有一壶好的浓茶来提神。）”可知，下午茶对工薪阶层非常重要。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Because it was eaten at a high, dining table, it was called “high” tea. (因为它是在高高的餐桌上吃的，所以被称为“high”茶。）”可知，之所以称之为“下午茶（high tea）”是因为是在高高的餐桌上吃的。C选择项表述错误。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“We provide very British afternoon tea experience trips during your stay in London. Just tell your tour guide when you want to taste the culture and we will arrange everything for you with a very reasonable charge. It’ll be a once in a lifetime experience. Don’t miss it.(在伦敦逗留期间，我们为您提供非常英式的下午茶体验之旅。当你想品尝文化时，只要告诉你的导游，我们会以非常合理的费用为你安排一切。这将是一生只有一次的经历。别错过了。）”可推断，文章主要的目的是打广告，让读者报名体验英国茶文化旅行。故选B。 D A demonstration mission to test an idea of cleaning up space junk was launched this morning in Kazakhstan. Known as ELSA-D, the mission will exhibit technology that can help deal with space junk. The spacecraft works by attempting to attach itself to dead satellites and pushing them toward the Earth to burn up in the atmosphere. ELSA-D, which stands for End-of-life Services by Astroscale, will be carried out by a “servicer spacecraft” and a “client satellite” that are launched together, according to Astroscale, spacecraft will release and try to meet with the client satellite, which will act as a piece of space junk. The mission will carry out this catch-and-release process repeatedly over the course of six months. The goal is to prove the servicer’s ability to track down and dock with its target in varying levels of complexity. However, the spacecraft is not designed to deal with dead satellites already in orbit, but rather future satellites that would be launched with docking plates on them. Space junk has been a growing problem for years. According to a recent report by NASA, at least 26,000 of the millions of pieces of space junk are the size of a softball. Orbiting along at 17,500mph, they could destroy a satellite. And the most common space junk, more than 100 million pieces, is the size of a grain of salt and could make holes in a spacesuit, amplifying risk to spacecraft and crew. The development of other cleanup technologies has been underway for years. In 2016, Japan’s space agency sent a 700-meter chain into space to try to slow down and redirect space junk. In 2018, a device called RemoveDebris successfully cast a net around a large piece of space junk. These efforts could prove increasingly important as private space projects like SpaceX continue to fill low Earth orbit in a messy way. 12. How will the servicer spacecraft function? A. By breaking space junk into pieces. B. By pushing space junk towards the Earth. C. By adding docking plates to client satellites. D. By drawing dead satellites away from the Earth. 13. What kind of space junk will the servicer mainly deal with? A. Dead satellites in orbit. B. Large pieces of space junk. C. Satellites to be launched with docking plates. D. Space junk around working satellites in a messy way. 14. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “amplifying” in Paragraph 4? A. increasing B. removing C. examining D. transporting 15. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Space research is becoming important. B. The function of artificial satellites is various. C. It’s necessary to conduct the clear-up mission. D. SpaceX plays an important role in sending satellites. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种清理太空垃圾的新方法。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段关键句“The spacecraft works by attempting to attach itself to dead satellites and pushing them toward the Earth to burn up in the atmosphere.”（航天器的工作原理是试图将自己连接到死卫星上，并将它们推向地球，在大气层中烧毁。）可知，服务者航天器通过将自己连接到死卫星等太空垃圾上，并将它们推向地球，在大气层中烧毁来清理太空垃圾，由此可知，服务者航天器通过将太空垃圾推向地球来发挥作用。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“However, the spacecraft is not designed to deal with dead satellites already in orbit, but rather future satellites that would be launched with docking plates on them.”（然而，该航天器的设计目的并不是为了处理已经在轨道上的死卫星，而是为了处理未来发射的带有对接板的卫星。）可知，服务者航天器的设计目的主要是为了处理未来发射的带有对接板的卫星，由此可知，服务者将主要处理的太空垃圾是未来发射的带有对接板的卫星。故选C项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线单词句中“And the most common space junk, more than 100 million pieces, is the size of a grain of salt and could make holes in a spacesuit”（而最常见的太空垃圾超过1亿件，只有一粒盐那么大，可以在宇航服上打洞）可知，常见的太空垃圾很多，有一粒盐那么大，可以在宇航服上打洞，由此可知，太空垃圾可以在宇航服上打洞，这无疑增加了航天器和宇航员的风险，“increasing”意为“增加”，能够代替画线单词在句中所要表达的意思。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“The development of other cleanup technologies has been underway for years.”（其他清洁技术的开发已经进行了多年。）和“These efforts could prove increasingly important as private space projects like SpaceX continue to fill low Earth orbit in a messy way.”（随着SpaceX等私人空间项目继续以混乱的方式填满近地轨道，这些努力可能会变得越来越重要。）可知，太空清洁技术的开发已经进行了多年，并且随着私人空间项目以混乱的方式填满近地轨道，太空清洁会变得越来越重要，由此可知，从最后一段我们能推断出有必要执行太空清理任务。故选C项。 三、阅读七选五：本题共5小题，共12.5分。 The age of space exploration started on April 12, 1961, when the Russian astronaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human to journey to outer space. But why do we go to environments that are dangerous and even deadly to humans? The answer is simple. ___16___ In this article, we’ll read the major four benefits of space exploration. Promote the progress of medicine ___17___ For example, analyzing the effects of zero-gravity (零重力) on blood flow led to many discoveries on how to prevent some heart illnesses. The experiments and measurements of bone strength and bone loss in astronauts have helped doctors better understand bone diseases. Develop new technologies The space race has birthed the most technological advancements in the shortest period of time. ___18___ For example, the running shoes were originally developed for astronauts. We use them in our day-to-day lives without even knowing that some NASA engineers originally developed them for the Apollo program that took humankind to the moon. Start space tourism The biggest dream some of us have is being able to take a trip to outer space. However, it is still too expensive to go to space. As reusable rockets improve, the costs of these trips will become significantly lower. ___19___ Inspire the next generation Space exploration stimulates the curiosity of children. ___20___ Not only is this good for them as STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) jobs can secure them a comfortable future, but it also helps humans.

I left for the park with my skateboard. There were so many kids in the central square. The parents chatted merrily in small groups, occasionally taking a glance at their kids. I skated for about half an hour and took a break on the nearby bench. Early summer morning was always the best time, the bird chirping in the trees and cool winds blowing in my face. How could I miss it? Dad said he was going to mow the lawn in the yard on the weekend and asked whether I could help. I made an excuse and just ran away. I took a look around the park before I stood up and spotted an old man on the far side of the park. He kept bending forward and threw something into a plastic bag with him. I watched for a while and realized what he was doing. He was picking up the litter. At first, I thought he might be a cleaner working in the park but I had never seen him before. “Who is he? It’s Sunday and he is not here for fun?” I talked to myself. I went on skating and forgot about him. Time went fast and the sun was already high up in the sky. It was getting hot and I was tired. I was ready to go when I saw the old man again. The park was half empty. He was still there, collecting the rubbish left on the benches with much effort. Time and time again, he stopped to straighten his body but he showed no sign of leaving soon. Clearly, it was hard work for people of his a age. “Not to leave? What if he has no water left in such hot weather?” I wondered. With some hesitation, I walked toward him. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Obviously, my father was surprised that I could offer to give him a hand. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: With some hesitation, I walked toward him. “Would you please tell me why you pick up garbage on Sunday?” I asked. The old man told me that there was too much garbage in the park, making the park look terrible. He just did what he could to make the park tidy. I handed the old man a bottle of water and picked up garbage with him, after which I went home hurriedly. Seeing my father mowing the lawn, I went to help him. Obviously, my father was surprised that I could offer to give him a hand. I worked hard without saying anything. Looking at the tidy lawn, I felt very tired but happy. My father hugged me and said that he was proud of me. I was aware that the old man I came across in the park taught me a lesson. I made up my mind to get ready to help others as much as possible and make our world a better place to live in. Of course, I must start with small things like this. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了星期天，作者拒绝了父亲修剪草坪的请求，来到公园玩滑板。作者看到一位老人在捡垃圾，当天气越来越热时，老人仍在忙着捡垃圾，作者为老人感到担心。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“有些犹豫，我向他走去。”可知，本段可描写作者询问老人在星期天捡垃圾的原因，之后和老人一起捡垃圾。 ②由第二段首句内容“显然，我父亲很惊讶我能帮他一把。”可知，本段可描写作者急忙回家帮助父亲修剪草坪，看着整洁的草坪，作者感到累但是很快乐。 2.续写线索：走向老人——询问原因——帮助老人使公园变整洁——帮助父亲使草坪变整洁——累但很快乐——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①告诉我：tell me/let me know ②递给：hand/pass ③帮助他：help him/give him a hand/do him a favor ④开始：start/begin/initiate 情绪类 ①匆忙地：hurriedly/in a hurry ②快乐的：happy/delighted 【点睛】[高分句型1]Would you please tell me why you pick up garbage on Sunday?(why引导的宾语从句) [高分句型2]My father hugged me and said that he was proud of me.(that引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二英语试卷 第I卷（选择题） 一、听力,本题共20小题，共20分。 1.What shape should Macy draw first?

Here's a look at the various traditions. France Mother's Day in France only started in the 1950s. After World War I, it was celebrated on the last Sunday in May, unless it conflicted with the Pentecost（五旬节）. If it did, mothers were celebrated on the first Sunday of June. Regardless of the day, a traditional gif is a flower-shaped cake. Japan Following WWI, Mother's Day in Japan gained some popularity, and it is now celebrated on the second Sunday of May. Gifts include red or pink conations（康乃馨） as they symbolize sweetness and purity. Children will often draw pictures of their mothers and present them to mom in addition to preparing dishes that their mothers have taught them. Sweden Celebrated on the last Sunday in May, the day isn't all that different from the U. S. version. There's breakfast in bed and homemade cards and the like. One difference is that the Swedish Red Cross collects money by selling red plastic flowers. The money from the flowers goes to mothers and children in need. Thailand While all mothers are recognized during Mother's Day in Thailand, the holiday is largely centered on Sirikit, the queen mother of Thailand. Mother's Day is celebrated on her birthday, August 12, and public places and households are decorated with lights and pictures of Sirikit. Flowers like jasmine are popular gifts. 1. What do Japanese children usually do for their mothers on Mother's Day? A. Buy pictures. B. Cook meals. C. Grow flowers. D. Present cards. 2. Which country has a fixed date for Mother's Day? A. France. B. Japan. C. Thailand. D. Sweden. 3. What's the author's purpose in writing the text? A. To tell us how different countries celebrate Mother's Day. B. To protect traditions of Mother's Day in different places. C. To introduce the origin and development of Mother's Day. D To call on us to show respect for our mother on Mother's Day. B Salad seeds (生菜种子) that went on a round trip to outer space and back grew at a slightly slower rate than the ones on earth, scientists found, thanks to thousands of young people who helped conduct an out-of-this-world experiment. The project started in 2015, when British astronaut Tim Peake took a million seeds with him on his journey to the International Space Station (ISS). The seeds spent six months there before they were sent back to Earth in 2016. In a message sent from the ISS, Peake said the purpose of the science experiment was to find out if the conditions in space affected the seeds’ ability to grow. Around 600,000 pupils at 8,600 schools in the UK were then asked to grow the rocket seeds that had been to space, along with regular seeds that had never left the planet. Peake described the experiment as “one of the largest and most inspirational experiments of its kind”. The results of the study, which have just been published, found that the space seeds grew more slowly than the ones that had stayed on Earth. Researchers on the experiment said this was due to the stresses of space travel, such as the zero-gravity (零重力) atmosphere and high levels of cosmic rays (宇宙射线), which slowed the growth of the plants. Now researchers are hopeful that if the seeds are properly protected, it might be possible to grow plants during future space tasks to other planets. Dr Jake Chandler, from University of London, who led the study, said, “The possibility of eating home-grown salad on Mars may be one small step closer.” 4. Why did Tim Peake take seeds to ISS? A. To explore the secret to gravity. B. To have astronauts grow salad in ISS. C. To promote young kids’ interest in salad. D. To test the space’s influence on seeds’ growth. 5. How did Tim Peake feel about the experiment? A. Encouraged. B. Disappointed. C. Confused. D. Concerned. 6. From which part of a website is the text probably taken? A. Health. B. Science. C. Education. D. Business. 7. What could be the best title of the text? A. Space study, a hot topic B. Salad growing, a hit among students C. The conditions in space affect the seeds’ growth D. Man’s exploration to Mars, a big step forward C Afternoon tea, the most typical of English customs, is, perhaps surprisingly, a relatively new tradition. The custom of drinking tea became popular in England during the 1660s thanks to King Charles II and his wife, and it was not until the mid-19th century that the concept of “afternoon tea” first appeared. Afternoon tea was introduced by Anna, the Duchess of Bedford, in the year 1840. At that time lunch was taken early but the evening meal was served fashionably late at eight o'clock, leaving a long period of time between the two meals. The Duchess would become hungry in the afternoon, so she asked that tea and cake be brought to her room around four o'clock. This became a habit of hers and later she began inviting friends to join her. This palace tea party was such a success that it soon spread to London and other places in UK as a fashionable social event. During the 1880’s, upper-class women would dress up for their afternoon tea, also known as “low tea” because tea was taken while sitting in low, comfortable chairs or sofas. While Low Tea was largely a game for the upper class “high tea” was a necessary meal for working class families. During the second half of the Victorian Period, working families would return home late tired and exhausted. As the most important meal of the day, the table would be set with meats, bread, butter, cheese and of course, a pot of good, strong tea to lift their spirits. Because it was eaten at a high, dining table, it was called “high” tea. To experience the best of the afternoon tea tradition, treat yourself with a trip to one of London’s finest hotels. There are also a wide selection of old-fashioned tearooms offering afternoon tea experience. We provide very British afternoon tea experience trips during your stay in London. Just tell your tour guide when you want to taste the culture and we will arrange everything for you with a very reasonable charge. It’ll be a once in a lifetime experience. Don’t miss it. 8. Why did the Duchess of Bedford need afternoon tea? A. It’s a fashionable palace social event. B. It’s a tradition from King Charles II. C The evening meal was too late for her. D. She wanted to spread tea culture in UK. 9. What do we know about high tea? A. It was a game for the upper class. B. It was started by Queen Victoria. C. It was an occasional social activity. D. It was highly important to working class. 10 Which of the following statement is NOT true according to the text? A. Low tea was mostly enjoyed by upper-class ladies. B. Low tea was eaten while sitting in low chairs or sofas. C. The tea making peopled spirits high was called high tea. D. High tea was taken by working class at a high dinning table. 11. What’s the main purpose of this passage? A. To explain the origin of afternoon tea. B. To advertise for tea experience trips. C. To honor the tradition of drinking tea. D. To introduce two afternoon tea types. D A demonstration mission to test an idea of cleaning up space junk was launched this morning in Kazakhstan. Known as ELSA-D, the mission will exhibit technology that can help deal with space junk. The spacecraft works by attempting to attach itself to dead satellites and pushing them toward the Earth to burn up in the atmosphere. ELSA-D, which stands for End-of-life Services by Astroscale, will be carried out by a “servicer spacecraft” and a “client satellite” that are launched together, according to Astroscale, spacecraft will release and try to meet with the client satellite, which will act as a piece of space junk. The mission will carry out this catch-and-release process repeatedly over the course of six months. The goal is to prove the servicer’s ability to track down and dock with its target in varying levels of complexity. However, the spacecraft is not designed to deal with dead satellites already in orbit, but rather future satellites that would be launched with docking plates on them. Space junk has been a growing problem for years. According to a recent report by NASA, at least 26,000 of the millions of pieces of space junk are the size of a softball. Orbiting along at 17,500mph, they could destroy a satellite. And the most common space junk, more than 100 million pieces, is the size of a grain of salt and could make holes in a spacesuit, amplifying risk to spacecraft and crew. The development of other cleanup technologies has been underway for years. In 2016, Japan’s space agency sent a 700-meter chain into space to try to slow down and redirect space junk. In 2018, a device called RemoveDebris successfully cast a net around a large piece of space junk. These efforts could prove increasingly important as private space projects like SpaceX continue to fill low Earth orbit in a messy way. 12. How will the servicer spacecraft function? A. By breaking space junk into pieces. B. By pushing space junk towards the Earth. C. By adding docking plates to client satellites. D. By drawing dead satellites away from the Earth. 13. What kind of space junk will the servicer mainly deal with? A. Dead satellites in orbit. B. Large pieces of space junk. C. Satellites to be launched with docking plates. D. Space junk around working satellites in a messy way. 14. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “amplifying” in Paragraph 4? A. increasing B. removing C. examining D. transporting 15. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Space research is becoming important. B. The function of artificial satellites is various. C. It’s necessary to conduct the clear-up mission. D. SpaceX plays an important role in sending satellites. 三、阅读七选五：本题共5小题，共12.5分。 The age of space exploration started on April 12, 1961, when the Russian astronaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human to journey to outer space. But why do we go to environments that are dangerous and even deadly to humans? The answer is simple. ___16___ In this article, we’ll read the major four benefits of space exploration.

I left for the park with my skateboard. There were so many kids in the central square. The parents chatted merrily in small groups, occasionally taking a glance at their kids. I skated for about half an hour and took a break on the nearby bench. Early summer morning was always the best time, the bird chirping in the trees and cool winds blowing in my face. How could I miss it? Dad said he was going to mow the lawn in the yard on the weekend and asked whether I could help. I made an excuse and just ran away. I took a look around the park before I stood up and spotted an old man on the far side of the park. He kept bending forward and threw something into a plastic bag with him. I watched for a while and realized what he was doing. He was picking up the litter. At first, I thought he might be a cleaner working in the park but I had never seen him before. “Who is he? It’s Sunday and he is not here for fun?” I talked to myself. I went on skating and forgot about him. Time went fast and the sun was already high up in the sky. It was getting hot and I was tired. I was ready to go when I saw the old man again. The park was half empty. He was still there, collecting the rubbish left on the benches with much effort. Time and time again, he stopped to straighten his body but he showed no sign of leaving soon. Clearly, it was hard work for people of his a age. “Not to leave? What if he has no water left in such hot weather?” I wondered. With some hesitation, I walked toward him. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Obviously, my father was surprised that I could offer to give him a hand. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
