On March 16, 2026, two astronauts, Zhang Lu and Wu Fei, did a spacewalk that took 7 hours. They put up special panels (防护板) outside the station to keep it safe from space junk. So, what is space junk? It is things that humans have left in space. Some space junk is big, like old satellites (人造卫星) that don’t work anymore. Some is tiny, like small pieces of rockets or even little chips of paint. But don’t let the small size fool you—most of it moves really fast, as fast as 18,000 miles per hour! That makes it very dangerous for spaceships. Right now, there are about 34,000 big pieces of junk (larger than 10 cm) going around Earth, and millions of smaller pieces, too. Why did they decide to put up special panels outside the station? Well, there was a problem with Shenzhou-20 spaceship. It was supposed to bring three astronauts home from Tiangong. But during a check, people found cracks in its window. Scientists think a tiny piece of space junk hit it. Tiangong is a home in space where astronauts live and do science experiments (实验) for months. With the new panels, it will be safer from all that speeding space junk. 16. How long did the astronauts’ spacewalk on March 16 take? A. 2 hours. B. 7 hours. C. 10 hours. D. 18 hours. 17. What does space junk include? A. Natural rocks from space. B. Plants on space station. C. Old satellites with no use. D. Astronaut tools in use. 18. Why is space junk dangerous? A. It is too large. B. It moves very fast. C. It is near Earth. D. It pollutes the space. 19. What does the underlined word “cracks” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Small breaks. B. Some pictures. C. Finger prints. D. New parts. 20. What is the best title for this text? A. Live and Work in Space B. Visit China’s Space Station C. Enjoy a Space Travel D. Protect Tiangong from Space Junk C Let’s go back to the Three Kingdoms Period (220-280 AD). At that time, China was divided into three kingdoms: Wei, Shu and Wu. Many heroes fought hard to protect their people and lands. A great hero needed not only a sharp weapon (武器) but also a good horse. These special horses were more than just animals — they were loyal (忠诚的) friends, brave partners, and even heroes themselves. The Fastest Horse: Chitu Chitu was the most famous warhorse. It was bright red and ran very fast. It is said that it could run 1,000 li (about 500 kilometers) in a day. At first, it belonged to Lü Bu. People praised them, “Among men, Lü Bu is the best; among horses, Chitu is the best.” After Lü Bu died, Chitu followed Guan Yu. With the horse’s speed, Guan Yu passed five enemy passes and killed six generals. The Horse that Saved a Life: Dilu Dilu was another famous white horse with a special mark on its forehead. It belonged to Liu Bei, the ruler of Shu. Once the enemies ran after Liu Bei by a wide river. Dilu made a great jump over the deep river and carried Liu Bei to safety. Thanks to the horse, Liu Bei could continue to build his kingdom. The Loyal Friend: Jueying Cao Cao from Wei had a black horse named Jueying. It was so fast that it seemed to run faster than its own shadow (影子). During a big fight, Cao Cao was surrounded (包围) by enemies. Jueying stayed to protect him and lost its life in the end. Cao Cao was so sad that he would remember this loyal and brave horse. 21. Which things are necessary for a great hero in the Three Kingdoms Period? A. A big house and many people. B. A loyal friend and large lands. C. A sharp weapon and a great horse. D. A brave partner and many animals. 22. Why is Chitu called “the fastest horse”? A. Because it had two owners. B. Because it could run 1,000 li in a day. C. Because it killed six generals in one day. D. Because it was the reddest horse in the country. 23. How did Dilu help Liu Bei? A. It carried a lot of food to Liu Bei. B. It asked other heroes to help Liu Bei. C. It fought against all the enemies alone. D. It jumped over the deep river and saved Liu Bei. 24. What happened to Jueying in the end? A. It ran away quickly. B. It died to protect Cao Cao. C. It was given to Lü Bu. D. It lived a peaceful life. 25. What do the three horses have in common? A.

One day, my younger sister had an idea. “Why don’t we make a photo album (册子) for Grandma?” she suggested. “We can collect photos from different periods of her life.” We all loved the idea. We spent two weeks collecting old photos from family members. Some photos were from Grandma’s childhood, some were from her wedding, and others were from family gatherings over the years. We carefully arranged the photos in an album and wrote short messages under each one. On Grandma’s birthday, we gave her the album. When she saw it, her eyes filled with tears. It was the most meaningful gift she had ever received. She said the album brought back many beautiful memories. She spent the whole evening looking through it and telling us stories about each photo.
