二、阅读理解
On November 7th, 2023, ESA’s Euclid space telescope (望远镜) sent back its first full-colour pictures of the universe.
Last July, people sent Euclid into space. Its job is to find out how dark matter and dark energy (能量) have made our universe look the way it does today. 95% of our universe appears to be made of these “dark” things. But we still don’t understand what they are. However, Euclid is able to take a clear picture across a huge part of the sky.
This time, Euclid sent back 5 pictures. One of them shows us the spiral galaxy IC 342. It is a look-alike of our Milky Way. Thanks to its infrared view (红外线视图), Euclid has already uncovered very important information about the stars in this galaxy. Euclid’s first full-colour pictures of the universe are not only beautiful, but also very helpful for scientists. They show that Euclid is working quite well and that scientists can use it to study the matters in the universe. In the coming months, scientists will study the pictures taken by Euclid, extract (提取) information from them and write many scientific papers.
What’s more, over the next six years, Euclid will take a close look at billions of galaxies 10 billion light years from us. By doing this, it will create the largest 3D map ever made. And the pictures by it will take us common people to a much farther universe.
11. Why did people send Euclid into space?
A. To make a 3D map of the universe.
B. To study dark matter and dark energy.
C. To take full-colour pictures of astronauts.
D. To find more galaxies like our Milky Way.
12. What do we know about the dark things?
A. People know them very well. B. They are useless for us humans.
C. They are unusual in the universe. D. Scientists are still studying them.
13. The underlined word “uncovered” probably means “______”.
A. changed B. discovered C. missed D. used
14. What is NOT mentioned about Euclid in the passage?
A. How people created it. B. What it will do in space.
C. When people sent it into space. D. What its first full-colour pictures.
15. What can be the best title of the passage?
A. Euclid and its first full-colour pictures B. The largest 3D map by Euclid
C. Dark things in the universe D. Scientific papers on Euclid
“Another bad day at school?” my father asked as I came into the room.
“How could you tell? I didn’t shut the door heavily or anything,” I replied. Over the past two months I had either done this or thrown my backpack across the room every time I came home from school. Papa thinks it has something to do with moving to a new house.
“I know this move has been hard on you. Leaving your friends and cousins behind is tough,” Papa said, as he put his arm around my shoulder. “What you must remember is that, with a lot of hard work and some time, you will make new friends.”
“You don’t know how hard it is. This year my baseball team would have won the championship. They won’t even give me a chance to pitch (投球) here. All I get to play is right field, and that’s the worst!”
Papa turned toward me. “Things will get better, I promise you. Let me ask you, do you know why you were named David Lorenzo?”
“Yes, your name is David and grandfather’s name is Lorenzo.”
“Very good, and what makes your grandfather so important?”
“He was the first in the family to come to this country and all that,” I answered.
“That is only partly correct. Your grandfather was a very great man. In Mexico, he had been a teacher. When he came to America, he could only get low-paid labor jobs because he didn’t speak the language. It took him two years before he spoke English well enough to be allowed to teach here, but he did it. He never complained because he knew change could be difficult. Did he ever tell you that?” my father asked.
I looked down at my feet, ashamed at my behaviour. “No. That must have been hard,” I said sheepishly.
“Your grandfather taught me that if you let people see your talent, they will accept you for who you are. I want you to always remember what my father taught me, even if it takes a few years for people to see who you are,” said Papa.
All I could say was, “Okay.” Then I asked, “What should I do now?”
Laughing, Papa said, “How about you pitch a few to me? You need some work.”
16. Why was the author unhappy that day?
A. Because his father taught him a lesson.
B. Because his baseball team lost the game.
C. Because he wasn’t offered a chance to pitch.
D. Because he quarreled with his friends at school.
17. The father successfully changed his son’s mood by _________.
A. asking him to train harder B. playing baseball with him
C. telling his grandfather’s story D. introducing him some new friends

A. He became a teacher as soon as he arrived in America.
B. His grandfather taught his father how to play baseball.
C. He played baseball well when he lived in Mexico.
D. He did manual labor to support his family in America.
19. The underlined word “sheepishly” probably means _________.
A. shyly B. patiently C. clumsily (笨拙地) D. cautiously (小心翼翼地)
20. What can we infer about the author?
A. He thinks his father lives in the past.
B. He’d rather live with his grandfather.
C. He will continue to dislike school and everything.
D. He will try his best to adapt to the new environment.
Mathilde Wittock, a designer from Belgium, makes resting chairs using old tennis balls. She creates them with no wood or plastic. Instead, each of her chairs is made up of 500 tennis balls. It is both stylish and strong.
Wittock wants to help protect the environment because many tennis balls are thrown away and don’t break down easily. About 300 million tennis balls are produced each year— and almost all of them end up in landfills (垃圾填埋场). It takes them over 400 years to decompose. Big tennis events use a large number of balls, like the U. S. Open with 70,000 and Wimbledon with 55,000. The lifecycle of a ball is not long, which usually lasts for nine games.
Wittock receives all her materials from donations, mostly from tennis clubs. It takes Wittock three to four weeks to make a chair. To meet the customers’ needs, she cuts and colours the tennis balls by hand to match their rooms. It takes her much hard work and patience to change how the balls look.
But creation isn’t the only goal. In fact, what’s more important to Wittock is what happens to the chair when it’s old. At the end of her chair’s life, she takes it apart and recycles the tennis balls. The fuzz (绒毛) is burned off, and the ball is cut into pieces to make bouncy mats(弹性垫) for kids to play on. In this way, nothing goes to waste.
21. What does Mathilde Wittock use to make a resting chair?
A. Plastic bottles. B. Used tennis balls.
C. Recycled glasses. D. Old wooden boxes.
22. What does the underlined word “decompose” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. To become chairs. B. To wash away the landfills.
C. To grow from land. D. To divide into smaller parts.
23. What can be learned about tennis balls from paragraph 2?
A. They are helpful to the environment.
B. Fewer balls should be used in big matches.
C. Many balls are needed in big tennis events.
D. About 300 million balls are made each month.
24. Where does Wittock get most of the tennis balls for her chairs?
A. From landfills. B. From her customers.
C. From tennis clubs. D. From some charities.
25. What’s the last paragraph mainly about?
A. How to continuously reduce waste.
B. How to make tennis balls into mats.
C. How to improve the design of chairs.
D. How to take tennis balls apart quickly.
三、任务型阅读
We all know that exercise is good for us, don’t we? ____26____ Just thinking about having to run or swim a long way can be enough to make some people want to lie down and give up! However, did you know that exercise is not all about doing sport?
____27____ Moving our bodies causes our brains to give out some special chemicals that create a good feeling. Just ten minutes of working out can leave us feeling happier.

D. For a start, exercise is not just about the body.

Mathilde Wittock, a designer from Belgium, makes resting chairs using old tennis balls. She creates them with no wood or plastic. Instead, each of her chairs is made up of 500 tennis balls. It is both stylish and strong.
Wittock wants to help protect the environment because many tennis balls are thrown away and don’t break down easily. About 300 million tennis balls are produced each year— and almost all of them end up in landfills (垃圾填埋场). It takes them over 400 years to decompose. Big tennis events use a large number of balls, like the U. S. Open with 70,000 and Wimbledon with 55,000. The lifecycle of a ball is not long, which usually lasts for nine games.
Wittock receives all her materials from donations, mostly from tennis clubs. It takes Wittock three to four weeks to make a chair. To meet the customers’ needs, she cuts and colours the tennis balls by hand to match their rooms. It takes her much hard work and patience to change how the balls look.
But creation isn’t the only goal. In fact, what’s more important to Wittock is what happens to the chair when it’s old. At the end of her chair’s life, she takes it apart and recycles the tennis balls. The fuzz (绒毛) is burned off, and the ball is cut into pieces to make bouncy mats(弹性垫) for kids to play on. In this way, nothing goes to waste.
21. What does Mathilde Wittock use to make a resting chair?
A. Plastic bottles. B. Used tennis balls.
C. Recycled glasses. D. Old wooden boxes.
22. What does the underlined word “decompose” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. To become chairs. B. To wash away the landfills.
C. To grow from land. D. To divide into smaller parts.
23. What can be learned about tennis balls from paragraph 2?
A. They are helpful to the environment.
B. Fewer balls should be used in big matches.
C. Many balls are needed in big tennis events.
D. About 300 million balls are made each month.
24. Where does Wittock get most of the tennis balls for her chairs?
A. From landfills. B. From her customers.
C. From tennis clubs. D. From some charities.
25. What’s the last paragraph mainly about?
A. How to continuously reduce waste.
B. How to make tennis balls into mats.
C. How to improve the design of chairs.
D. How to take tennis balls apart quickly.
【答案】21. B 22. D 23. C 24. C 25. A

____27____ Moving our bodies causes our brains to give out some special chemicals that create a good feeling. Just ten minutes of working out can leave us feeling happier.

Choose an activity that not only exercises your body, but that you also enjoy. Some people simply go jogging while listening to their favourite music. Others take up activities such as dancing or playing basketball with their friends. Make the experience more enjoyable as you work out. ____29____
It doesn’t matter how much we exercise. Doing regular exercise isn’t just about appearance. ____30____ Who wouldn’t want that?

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
范文(一):
There’s a saying by Confucius I like: “To know what you know and to know what you don’t know, that is real knowledge.” It means we should be honest about what we know.
This helps me in school. Before, I was shy to ask questions when I didn't understand. But now I know it’s okay to say “I don't know.” It shows I want to learn.
This saying teaches me to be honest and keep learning. It reminds me that it’s not wrong to ask for help. I want to be someone who keeps growing, just like Confucius said.
范文(二):
One saying that really makes me think is “Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom.” by Laozi. I believe it means that it’s great to understand what people feel or think, but it’s even more important to understand yourself. Sometimes, I feel confused or upset and I don’t know why. This quote reminds me to look inside and understand my own emotions better. When I do that, I feel calmer and make better choices. It also teaches me to be more thoughtful and patient, not just with others, but with myself too. That’s why I admire this saying.
