[How to improve your vocabulary]
Vocabulary means all the words a person knows or all of the words of a language. Everyone’s vocabulary can be divided into active vocabulary (words you use in your speaking and writing) and passive vocabulary (words you know but don’t use yet). How can we turn passive vocabulary into active vocabulary?

June 16, 2023 20:19 We should pay attention to the importance of synonyms. A synonym is a word that has a similar meaning to another. If you find you are using boring words, look for interesting synonyms you can use in its place. This is also a great way to make your writing creative. (Amanda)

June 16, 2023 20:26 ________ When you hear someone use a word you don’t know, don’t forget to ask them what it means. It takes just a few seconds. It not only shows that you are listening to them but that you are trying hard to improve your own vocabulary. (Jeff)

Holly gets a pet dog. She’s so happy, and the dog is happy, too! “I want to call him Eco,” says Holly. “Come here, Eco!” And Eco wags (摇摆) his tail.
“That dog is your responsibility (责任), Holly,” says her father. “No problem!” Holly agrees.
Before school, Holly takes Eco for his first morning walk. She feels very tired. It’s really cold and dark—and it’s so early! But Eco doesn’t mind. He runs, stops, runs again, sees a black cat, tries to run after it and nearly pulls Holly off her feet!
Holly realizes it’s late when she gets back from the walk. She quickly eats a piece of bread, takes her bag and jacket, and runs to school.
What a busy morning! But that’s not all for looking after a pet dog.
When Holly takes Eco for his evening walk, it’s quite dark outside. Holly feels nervous. She runs along the road with him, but it’s difficult. Because Eco often stops to study the bushes and trees. And he often tries to catch birds, or play with sticks and fallen leaves.
A few days go by. Then…
It’s raining outside. Eco enters…and the trouble starts. Eco’s dirty paws leave prints everywhere, on the floor, on the blanket, on the sofa…“Come here, Eco!” says Holly. She wants to stop him, but it doesn’t work.
Holly gets really angry now. She decides to punish Eco. So that night Eco is kept in the green house alone.
When Holly enters the green house next morning, it’s a disaster. Her mum’s plants and flowers are lying on their sides or on the floor. And the pots (花盆) are broken into a hundred pieces. And Eco is sitting in the soil and leaves.
“Oh, no,” says Holly. She realizes it’s time to train the dog. “He needs to know the rules.”
Every day after school, Holly repeats simple orders to Eco. If he can do as ordered, he can get nice bones. The amazing thing is, Eco really enjoys it. For him, it’s one big game.
So Eco learns to sit when Holly says, “Sit!” He learns to come when Holly says, “Come here!”…And he doesn’t get into trouble!
19. What can we learn from Holly’s words in paragraph 2?
A. She is glad to take care of the dog. B. She is too busy to look after the dog.

b. Eco leaves the green house in a mess.
c. Eco makes the house dirty on a rainy day.
d. Holly decides to help Eco learn some rules.
e. Eco doesn’t listen to Holly and that makes her angry.
A. c-d-a-e-b B. c-e-a-b-d C. d-c-a-b-e D. d-e-c-a-b
22. From the last two paragraphs we can learn that Holly is ________.
A. brave B. polite C. patient D. modest
【答案】19. A 20. C 21. B 22. C

Some people think creativity is making something completely new, so they do not think of themselves as creative ones. However, some other people think creativity can just be expressing themselves through everyday acts and they are born creative because it is not an all-or-nothing quality or skill.
Whether or not we realize it, we all have the ability to express creativity. Sometimes the path to creative productivity is being willing to do something different.
Are you someone who loves to read comics? Perhaps it is time you create one of your own. Don’t worry if you cannot draw very well or feel that you cannot write humorous reports for characters. Nobody says this is an exam! You only have to please yourself, to gain the satisfaction that you try something new, all on your own. If you feel easy, you can of course share it with our loved ones, or post it on social media,
Are you someone who likes to express yourself in writing? Try writing a blog. This is like the new version of a diary. In your blog, you can write about your thoughts, opinions and experiences. You can also write stories or plays, if you feel up to it! The blog provides you with a platform to create something new every day, in written forms.
Are you someone who likes to be alone? Now, think about the things that make you happy. Find a small place in your room, or any place in your home, where you can spend time with yourself. It can be a small corner next to your bed or a wall. It can be a poster of your favourite rock star or photos of your friends. You can also pick a guitar if you like to play instruments, or a few storybooks if you love reading. Some of you may like flowers, candles or pretty things. Decorate your area with your favourite things in any way you like. That is creativity! And if you do feel bored with this, you can change, add or remove something.
By realizing the chances in our daily lives to inspire our creativity, no matter how small, we may become more comfortable with taking bigger creative leaps in other aspects of our lives.

①China published the world’s first highly clear lunar geologic (地质的) atlas (地图集) on April 21. According to the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), it will provide up-to-date information for future lunar research and exploration.
②“These maps will help choose locations for future lunar research stations,” Ouyang Ziyuan, a well-known lunar scientist, said. “They can also help us better know about the Earth and other planets in the solar system, like Mars.”
③The world has seen great progress in the field of lunar science over the past half a century. However, the lunar geologic atlas that was developed during the Apollo Program remained unchanged. “As lunar geologic studies develop, those old maps can no longer satisfy future needs,” said Liu Jianzhong, a CAS researcher.
④Since 2012, Ouyang and Liu have led a team of scientists from several research centers in compiling (编制) this atlas. Their work was mainly built on information gained from China’s Chang’e Program. Information from other research projects and international tasks was also used.
⑤The new geologic atlas, which is published in both Chinese and English, presents a scale (比例尺) of 1: 2.5 million. Compared with the 1:5 million scale lunar maps from the US in 2020, these larger scale maps show more details. As well as the geologic history of the moon, they provide information on its 14 types of structures (结构) and 17 types of rocks. A total of 12,341 impact craters (撞击坑) and 81 impact basins have also been marked.
⑥This atlas is set to serve many useful purposes, such as lunar resources research and science education. Liu said the upcoming Chang’e-6 task would also use the atlas. “Our maps can help the research by providing scientific support,” he explained.
⑦“Compiling the atlas was a huge task, which included years of effort from a large number of researchers,” said Gregory Michael, a German scientist. “It will be a starting point for every new question of lunar geology.”
27. What is the great value of the new atlas?
A. It is the first lunar geologic atlas in the world. B. It proves the hard work of Chinese scientists.
C. It will meet the future needs in lunar studies. D. It is built on information from many researches.
28. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. The large size and mystery of the moon. B. The discovery of Chang’e Program.
C. The details of the new geologic atlas. D. The challenges the scientists face.
29. How does the writer prove “This atlas is set to serve many useful purposes”?
A. By comparing different purposes. B. By using Chang’e-6 task as an example.
C. By using a German scientist’s words. D. By listing information from the new maps.
30. What does “It” in the last paragraph refer to(指代)?
A. Scientific support. B. The lunar research. C. Effort from researchers. D. Compiling the atlas.
【答案】27. C 28. C 29. B 30. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了中国发布的世界上首个高清晰度月球地质图集及其重要性。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据“However, the lunar geologic atlas that was developed during the Apollo Program remained unchanged. ‘As lunar geologic studies develop, those old maps can no longer satisfy future needs,’”可知,旧的月球地质图集已经不能满足未来的需求,而新的图集将满足未来月球研究的需求。故选C。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。根据“Compared with the 1:5 million scale lunar maps from the US in 2020…impact craters (撞击坑) and 81 impact basins have also been marked”可知,第五段主要介绍了新地质图集的详细信息。故选C。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Liu said the upcoming Chang’e-6 task would also use the atlas. ‘Our maps can help the research by providing scientific support,’”可知,作者通过使用嫦娥六号任务作为例子来证明“这个图集将有很多有用的用途”。故选B。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“‘Compiling the atlas was a huge task… ‘It will be a starting point for every new question of lunar geology.’”可知,It指代的是“Compiling the atlas编制图集”。故选D。

Peking Opera which combines singing, dancing, acrobatics and martial arts is sung and recited using Beijing dialect. The music of Peking Opera plays a key role in setting the pace of the show, creating a particular atmosphere, shaping the characters, and guiding the progress of the stories,

[How to improve your vocabulary]
Vocabulary means all the words a person knows or all of the words of a language. Everyone’s vocabulary can be divided into active vocabulary (words you use in your speaking and writing) and passive vocabulary (words you know but don’t use yet). How can we turn passive vocabulary into active vocabulary?

June 16, 2023 20:19 We should pay attention to the importance of synonyms. A synonym is a word that has a similar meaning to another. If you find you are using boring words, look for interesting synonyms you can use in its place. This is also a great way to make your writing creative. (Amanda)
June 16, 2023 20:23 In my opinion, reading is the No. 1 way to improve your vocabulary. The process of reading teaches you new words and different ways to use words you know and improves your confidence. (Lucas)
June 16, 2023 20:24 I think the best way to improve your vocabulary and use the new words you have discovered is to use them in real situations. It’s useful to practice what you’ve learned to turn it into your everyday vocabulary. (Julia)
June 16, 2023 20:26 ________ When you hear someone use a word you don’t know, don’t forget to ask them what it means. It takes just a few seconds. It not only shows that you are listening to them but that you are trying hard to improve your own vocabulary. (Jeff)

Holly gets a pet dog. She’s so happy, and the dog is happy, too! “I want to call him Eco,” says Holly. “Come here, Eco!” And Eco wags (摇摆) his tail.
“That dog is your responsibility (责任), Holly,” says her father. “No problem!” Holly agrees.
Before school, Holly takes Eco for his first morning walk. She feels very tired. It’s really cold and dark—and it’s so early! But Eco doesn’t mind. He runs, stops, runs again, sees a black cat, tries to run after it and nearly pulls Holly off her feet!
Holly realizes it’s late when she gets back from the walk. She quickly eats a piece of bread, takes her bag and jacket, and runs to school.
What a busy morning! But that’s not all for looking after a pet dog.
When Holly takes Eco for his evening walk, it’s quite dark outside. Holly feels nervous. She runs along the road with him, but it’s difficult. Because Eco often stops to study the bushes and trees. And he often tries to catch birds, or play with sticks and fallen leaves.
A few days go by. Then…
It’s raining outside. Eco enters…and the trouble starts. Eco’s dirty paws leave prints everywhere, on the floor, on the blanket, on the sofa…“Come here, Eco!” says Holly. She wants to stop him, but it doesn’t work.
Holly gets really angry now. She decides to punish Eco. So that night Eco is kept in the green house alone.
When Holly enters the green house next morning, it’s a disaster. Her mum’s plants and flowers are lying on their sides or on the floor. And the pots (花盆) are broken into a hundred pieces. And Eco is sitting in the soil and leaves.
“Oh, no,” says Holly. She realizes it’s time to train the dog. “He needs to know the rules.”
Every day after school, Holly repeats simple orders to Eco. If he can do as ordered, he can get nice bones. The amazing thing is, Eco really enjoys it. For him, it’s one big game.
So Eco learns to sit when Holly says, “Sit!” He learns to come when Holly says, “Come here!”…And he doesn’t get into trouble!
19. What can we learn from Holly’s words in paragraph 2?
A. She is glad to take care of the dog. B. She is too busy to look after the dog.
C. She wants her father to look after the dog. D. She thinks it’s hard to take care of the dog.
20. To take care of Eco, Holly _________.
A. is late for school every day B. takes him for a walk once a day
C. has to get up early in the morning D. goes to school without having breakfast
21. Which is the right order of the following events?

b. Eco leaves the green house in a mess.
c. Eco makes the house dirty on a rainy day.
d. Holly decides to help Eco learn some rules.
e. Eco doesn’t listen to Holly and that makes her angry.
A. c-d-a-e-b B. c-e-a-b-d C. d-c-a-b-e D. d-e-c-a-b
22. From the last two paragraphs we can learn that Holly is ________.
A. brave B. polite C. patient D. modest

Some people think creativity is making something completely new, so they do not think of themselves as creative ones. However, some other people think creativity can just be expressing themselves through everyday acts and they are born creative because it is not an all-or-nothing quality or skill.
Whether or not we realize it, we all have the ability to express creativity. Sometimes the path to creative productivity is being willing to do something different.
Are you someone who loves to read comics? Perhaps it is time you create one of your own. Don’t worry if you cannot draw very well or feel that you cannot write humorous reports for characters. Nobody says this is an exam! You only have to please yourself, to gain the satisfaction that you try something new, all on your own. If you feel easy, you can of course share it with our loved ones, or post it on social media,
Are you someone who likes to express yourself in writing? Try writing a blog. This is like the new version of a diary. In your blog, you can write about your thoughts, opinions and experiences. You can also write stories or plays, if you feel up to it! The blog provides you with a platform to create something new every day, in written forms.
Are you someone who likes to be alone? Now, think about the things that make you happy. Find a small place in your room, or any place in your home, where you can spend time with yourself. It can be a small corner next to your bed or a wall. It can be a poster of your favourite rock star or photos of your friends. You can also pick a guitar if you like to play instruments, or a few storybooks if you love reading. Some of you may like flowers, candles or pretty things. Decorate your area with your favourite things in any way you like. That is creativity! And if you do feel bored with this, you can change, add or remove something.
By realizing the chances in our daily lives to inspire our creativity, no matter how small, we may become more comfortable with taking bigger creative leaps in other aspects of our lives.

①China published the world’s first highly clear lunar geologic (地质的) atlas (地图集) on April 21. According to the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), it will provide up-to-date information for future lunar research and exploration.
②“These maps will help choose locations for future lunar research stations,” Ouyang Ziyuan, a well-known lunar scientist, said. “They can also help us better know about the Earth and other planets in the solar system, like Mars.”
③The world has seen great progress in the field of lunar science over the past half a century. However, the lunar geologic atlas that was developed during the Apollo Program remained unchanged. “As lunar geologic studies develop, those old maps can no longer satisfy future needs,” said Liu Jianzhong, a CAS researcher.
④Since 2012, Ouyang and Liu have led a team of scientists from several research centers in compiling (编制) this atlas. Their work was mainly built on information gained from China’s Chang’e Program. Information from other research projects and international tasks was also used.
⑤The new geologic atlas, which is published in both Chinese and English, presents a scale (比例尺) of 1: 2.5 million. Compared with the 1:5 million scale lunar maps from the US in 2020, these larger scale maps show more details. As well as the geologic history of the moon, they provide information on its 14 types of structures (结构) and 17 types of rocks.
