Originally, flexibility with your classes gives you the chance to make time for other important things' in your life-like working a job to earn some money, spending time with friends and 35 , and also taking much-needed time for yourself.

After months of expectation and secrecy, the official mascot of the 2022 Winter Olympic Games-a giant panda-inspired cartoon character-made its first public debut with cheers at Beijing's Shougang Ice Hockey Arena.
   The panda is named "Bing Dwen Dwen" in Chinese. Bing means "ice"in Chinese,while Dwen Dwen suggests "health and cleverness"-characteristics also shared by pandas. Pandas are perhaps the most recognized animal species in China,organizers said.
   “Pandas combine China's traditional culture and its modem appearance together with winter sports elements in a fascinating image that shows our great expectations for the Games and shows that we welcome the world, ” said Beijing Mayor Chen Jining,who also serves as an executive president on the organizing committee.
   ＂I have already seen the mascot and from what I've seen,it's a wonderful choice, "IOC
President Thomas Bach said before introducing the character. " "The mascot really takes in the best elements and characteristics of China and the Chinese people. It will be a great ambassador for the country and the 24th Winter Olympics. "
   The ring of light surrounding the mascot's face is suggestive of ice and snow tracks, as well as the flowing "ribbons"of the National Speed Skating Oval. The oval is one of two new competition sites in downtown Beijing expected to become a landmark of the Games, according to its chief designer Cao Xue.
   The introduction of the mascots marks the key point of a journey that began in August 2018, when Beijing organizers started a global design competition for the mascots. A total of 5,816 designs were received from 35 countries,and were reviewed by Chinese and international experts in a comprehensive evaluation and selection process.
   The new mascot will serve as spirited symbol of the Games that will take place in the three zones of downtown Beijing,the suburban district of Yanqing and co-host city Zhangjiakou in surrounding Hebei province.

Astronauts on the International Space Station will soon test a new oven for making chocolate chip cookies. A spaceship carrying the cooking equipment and other supplies was launched on Saturday from the Wallops Flight Facility in the United States. The shipment, weighing 3, 700 kilograms, reached the space station on Monday. His goal is to explore the possibility of making freshly baked cookies for space travelers.
   American company Nanoracks designed and built the oven and helped with organizing the flight to the space station. Hilton Double Tree hotels supplied the cookie dough the astronauts will use.

In the past,space station crews have created their own pizzas using a thin,flat piece of bread known as flatbread. Astronauts have tried other creative ways to make food, such as creating salads from vegetables grown in the space station. Results have been mixed.

The cookie baking will be a slow process. The oven can heat just one cookie at a time. The test could take weeks before the astronauts have chance to try out freshly baked cookies.

 Five unbaked cookies have been in a space station freezer for several weeks. Each is in its own individual clear bag made out of silicone. The oven can heat foods to temperatures as high as 177 degrees Celsius. That is twice the temperature of the U. S. and Russian food warmers on the space station. The oven uses electric heating elements.

Mary Murphy is with Nanoracks. Murphy says she expects a baking time of 15 to 20 minutes for each cookie when the oven is heated to about 163 degrees Celsius. She adds that the smell of baking cookies should fill the space station each time a cookie comes out of the oven.

The oven's first use will be the real test. Without the force of gravity,the astronauts do not know exactly how the cookie will look. Three of the space-baked cookies are to be returned to Earth for testing.

(  ) 46. Which of the following can best describe the new oven test?

1. Time-consuming.    B. Energy-saving.  C. Meaningless.  D. Successful

(  ) 47. What does the underlined word “dough" mean in China?

A. 面粉      B. 生面团     C. 烘焙师     D. 炸面圈

(  ) 48. What's the advantage of the new oven over the Russian food warmer?

A. It heats up much faster.        B. It's more convenient to use.

C. It has a larger cooking space.   D. It can heat up to a higher temperature.

(  ) 49. What will make the cookie's appearance in the new oven uncertain?

A. The baking time.             B. The heating method.

C. The absence of gravity.        D. The speed of temperature rise.

(  ) 50. What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Cooking Equipment in Space Station

B. Cookies Coming from the International Space Station

C. Creative Ways Astronauts Make Food in Space Station

D. A New Oven to Be Tested to Make Cookies in Space Station

六、读写综合(每小题2分，共20分)

A

When William Erasmus Darvin was born in December 1839,his father Charles Darwin began to carefully record observations of his firstborn in a notebook.Now housed at Cambridge University Library, it reads more like a research paper.

Today we know a good deal about Darwin’s theories. We know far less about how his private life-particularly his family-contributed to his work. But his notebook shows another side of the founding father of evolution: Darwin as a family man.

Darwin's son William was born a year after the scientist first met London Zoo's first orangutan(猩猩), Jenny.“The orangutan for Darwin was like a window into the origins of mankind,”says John van Wyhe, director of Darwin Online.

At this time,Darwin was already forming ideas about where humans came from, but he had never met one of our close ape (猿) relatives to test these theories. His meeting with Jenny helped build up his idea that we shared a common ancestor (祖先) with apes. He was already looking for a "real relationship between humans and apes", says van Wyhe. When he saw Jenny's facial expressions and noticed her social behavior, he knew his ideas were right.

What stood out to him was how human-like some of her behavior was, which he wrote about in a letter to his sister Susan:"The keeper showed her an apple,but would not give it to her, whereupon she threw herself on her back, kicked and cried, just like a naughty child."

When his son was born soon after, it meant that he could see first-hand how a human child developed,and consider the relationship between humans and animals.The notebook shows Darwin as a good-humoured though curious father who is "playing with his young baby like he is another ape,says van Wyhe.

His observations about both his family and Jenny the ape went on to influence his 1871 book. The Descen of Man and The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals, published in 1872.

Count your blessings(祝福），we're told,but it's just not in our nature. We'd rather count
our problems. We're so used to focusing on bad news that we tend to pay no attention to what's going well. As soon as we solve one problem,we take the progress for granted and find a new cause for alarm. Every now and again it doesn't hurt to think how good we have it. Start counting:

1. Free time

As much as we complain about being busy,the typical American has more free time than ever-more than five hours per day. If you feel too busy,it's probably only because you're doing so many other things than work. Experts say there'll be even more free time in the future.

2. Peace
    Wars and terrorist attacks will always make headlines,but it's remarkable how many of the world's 6. 7 billion people now live in peace. In recent decades,though the population has been growing,the number of wars around the world has declined.
    In some earlier generations,a quarter of the male population died violent deaths. Over the past century,even counting the world wars,a person's chance of dying from war was less than 2 percent.

3. American dream
    While some people are struggling to keep their homes,the vast majority of Americans still have plenty to be thankful for when they walk through the front door. In 1950 the typical new American house had one floor with 1, 000 square feet,two bedrooms,and one bathroom-and even that bungalow was beyond many people's means. Today,more than two thirds of Americans own their homes,and the typical new house has two floors,at least three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and more than 2, 200 square feet of space for the family.

4. The reader's revolution
    In 1970 barely half the people in the world were literate,and many of them could afford only a few books. Today,more than 80 percent of the world's people can read,and 22 percent have access to the greatest library in history. The Web provides classic books and reference works free of charge.

5. More wilderness

Once you travel beyond the cities,you'll find plenty of open space and peaceful forests. Many.of the woodlands cleared by settlers have returned now that the land is no longer needed for agriculture.

6. The modern cars

Cars give off greenhouse gases and create maddening traffic jams,but consider what else they do. Compared with the models on the road in 1970, today's cars bum less gasoline per mile and emit 98 percent fewer pollutants. That's why, despite the doubling of the number of cars,there's much less smog in the air. The basic car today offers more comforts and safety than the luxury(豪华）cars of old.

八、书面表达

According to a notice from the Ministry of Education,all primary and secondary school students in China,in principle, will not be allowed to bring mobile phones to school. I think it is necessary to limit students' mobile phone use at school.

Bringing mobile phones to school will not only distract the students' attention from their studies,but also do harm to their eyesight. For those students who are addicted to mobile phones, I suggest that they can spend more time doing something more interesting,such as doing sports or reading an interesting book.

As the saying goes, no rules no standards. I call on all the schools limit students' mobile phone use at school.
