B
Two high school students have identified four new planets in distant space about 200-light-years from Earth, making them “the youngest astronomers” to make such a discovery.
Kartik Pingle, 16, and Jasmine Wright. 18, who both attend schools in Massachusetts, participated in the Student Research Mentoring Program (SRMP). With the help of Tansu Daylan, an MIT doctor for Astrophysics and Space Research, the students studied and analyzed data from the Transiting Exoplanct Survey Satellite (TESS). Together they focused on Tess Object of Interest (TOI) 1233, a nearby, bright sun-like star and here they found four planets rotating（旋转）around the star. “We were looking to see changes in light over time,” Pingle explained, “the idea is that if the planet transits the star, or passes in front of it, it would periodically cover up the star and decrease its brightness.”
While studying 1233, Pingle and Wright had at least hoped to find one planet but were overwhelmed with joy when a total of four were spotted. “I was very excited and very shocked.” Wright said. “We knew this was the goal of Daylan’s research, but to actually find a multi-planetary system, and be part of the discovering team, was really cool.” Three of the newly discovered planets are considered as “sub-Neptunes”, which are gaseous, but smaller than the Neptune that lives in our solar system. While observing the planets, the team determined each one completes their orbit around 1233 every six to 19.5 days. However, the fourth planet is called a “super-Earth” for its large size and rockiness this one orbits around the star in just under four days.
“We have long been studying planets beyond our solar system and with multi-planetary systems, the two young students are kind of hitting the jackpot. They are really blessed.” Daylan said. “The planets originated from the same disk of matter around the same star, but they ended up being different planets with different atmospheres and different climates due to their different orbits. So, we would like to understand the basic processes of planet formation and evolution using this planetary system.”
Daylan added that it was a “win-win” to work with Pingle and Wright on the study. “As a researcher, I really enjoy interacting with young brains that are open to experimentation and learning and have slightest bias（偏见）.”he said, “I also think it is very beneficial to high school students, since they get exposure to cutting-edge research, and this prepares them quickly for a research career.”
24. How did the two students identify the four planets？
A. By helping professor Tansu Daylan with the data.
B. By analyzing the change of brightness of star 1233.
C. By studying Neptune that lives in our solar system.
D. By interacting with other young talented brains.
25. What is special about the discovery？
A It was made by two high school students.
B. It was made with an innovative approach.
C. It was meant to be made by Tansu Daylan.
D. It found the largest number of planets at a time.
26. Which of the following is closest in meaning to “hitting the jackpot” in paragraph 5？
A. Making a discovery difficultly. B. Achieving the goal easily.
C. Succeeding in something luckily. D. Performing a task carefully.
27. According to the article, what benefits does the study bring？
A. It allows the scientists to work with young people without prejudice.
B. It equips future astronomers with better researching abilities.
C. It provides more perspectives and thus boosts more discoveries.
D. It arouses students’ interest in exploring the unknown universe.
C
The development of China’s space program was first suggested in 1956 by the father of Chinese rocket science, Qian Xuesen (1911-2009). As a result of extensive preparation and planning, the Shenzhou crewed program began in 1992, and the first Chinese astronaut, Yang Liwei, went into space in 2003. Chang’e-1, a lunar orbiter was launched in 2007, while Tiangong-1, an experimental crewed space station was launched in 2011.
In 2019, Chang’e-4 made a soft landing on the far side of the moon. It was mankind’s first successful soft landing on the far side of the moon. A “soft” landing is one where the spacecraft lands in a controlled way, and gets no damage. Twelve hours later, the small Yutu-2 rover12 was released. To understand why Chang’e-4’s soft landing was such an achievement, consider the difficulty of any space mission, especially one to the far side of the moon. While the far side of the moon is often called the dark side of the moon, it is not really dark.
The main problem with landing on the far side of the moon is communication. There is no clear line of sight between the far side of the moon and the Earth. This normally makes radio communication with spacecraft on the far side of the moon impossible. Chinese engineers came up with a unique solution. Before Chang’e-4’s mission (任务), they sent the Queqiao communications satellite into space. When engineers needed to communicate with Chang’e-4 and Yutu-2, they could send radio messages to Queqiao. The messages would then be sent from the satellite down to the Lander and rover. This allowed for contact between Earth and the far side of the moon.
One of the experiments of Chang’e-4’s mission was designed to test a closed ecological (生态的) system that could be extremely important for long-term space missions: The plants produce food and oxygen for the fruit flies, while the fruit flies produce carbon dioxide for the plants. This experiment worked for nine days, but it had to be stopped when the temperatures dropped below -52°C.
28. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A. The first Chinese astronaut, Yang Liwei, went into space in 2007.
B. Qian Xuesen is considered the father of the Chinese space program.
C. The development of space program in China started in ancient times.
D. The Chinese space program has been advancing with preparation and planning.
29. Why was Chang’e-4’s landing on the moon such an achievement?
A. Because Chang’e-4 landed on the moon successfully.
B. Because Chang’e-4 made a soft landing on the dark side of the moon.
C. Because man had never landed on the moon with the difficulty of space mission.
D. Because it was the first time that humans had landed on the moon without any damage.
30. Why was the ecological experiment on Chang’e-4 stopped?
A. It got too dark to continue.
B. The Lander no longer had power.
C. It got too cold for the experiment to work.
D. There was not enough oxygen on the moon.
31. Where is this passage probably from?
A. A story book B. An advertisement C. A poster D. A science magazine

D
I began working in journalism when I was eight.It was my mother’s idea.She wanted me to “make something” of myself,and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.
With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue.The crowds were there.There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union.For several hours I made myself highly visible,making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST.When it was supper time,I walked back home.
“How many did you sell,my boy?” my mother asked.“None.”
“Where did you go?”
“The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”
“What did you do?”
“Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a newspaper.”
“You just stood there?Didn’t sell a single one?My God,Russell.”
Uncle Allen put in,“I’ve decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickle(五分镍币).It was the first nickle I earned.
Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman.I would have to ring doorbells,address adults with self-confidence,and persuade them by saying that no one,no matter how poor,could afford to be without THE SATURDAY EVENING POST in the home.
One day,I told my mother I’d changed my mind.I didn’t want to make a success in the magazine business.
“If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied,“you’ll become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that,as soon as school was over,I should start ringing doorbells,selling magazines.Whenever I said no,she would scold me.
My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember.My mother,dissatisfied with my father’s plain workman’s life,determined that I would not grow up like him and his people.But never did she expect that,forty years later,such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband’s people for true life and love. 
32.Why did the boy start his job young?
A.He wanted to be famous in the future.
B.The job was quite easy for him.
C.His mother had great hope for him.
D.The competition for the job was fierce.
33.From the dialogue between the boy and his mother,we learn that the mother was 　　　. 
A.excited B.interested C.ashamed D.disappointed
34.What did the mother do when the boy wanted to give up?
A.She forced him to continue.
B.She punished him.
C.She gave him some money.
D.She changed her plan.
35.The underlined phrase “this battle”in the last paragraph refers to 　　　. 
A.the war between the boy’s parents
B.the arguing between the boy and his mother
C.the quarrel between the boy and his customers
D.the fight between the boy and his father

That night, I quarreled with my mother, then stormed out of the house. While on the road, I remembered that I did not have any money in my pocket, I did not even take my cell phone with me to make a call home.
At the same time, I went through a noodle shop, and I suddenly felt very hungry. I wished for a bowl of noodles, but I had no money!
The seller saw me standing before the counter and asked, “Hey little girl, you want to eat a bowl?”
“But … but I do not carry money …” I shyly replied.
“Okay, I’ll treat you.” the seller said, “come in, I will cook you a bowl.”
A few minutes later the owner brought me a steaming bowl of noodles. After eating some pieces, I cried.
“What is it?” He asked.
“Nothing. I am just touched by your kindness!” I said as I wiped my tears. “Even a stranger on the street gives me a bowl of noodles, and my mother, after a quarrel, chased me out of the house. She is cruel (残忍的)!!”
The seller sighed, “Girl, why did you think so? Think again. I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you felt that way. Your mother has been taking care of you since you were little, why were you not grateful and why did you hurt your mom?”
I was really surprised after hearing that.
Why did I not think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful, and my mother has raised me since I was little and I have never felt so, not even a little.

第一节(满分15分)
【答案】
Dear astronauts,
I’m writing with great excitement to tell you how proud I am for your remarkable achievements in China’s space science and technology.
I’m much curious about your life and work in Tiangong Space Station. Have you adapted to the weightless environment? If you miss your families, is it possible for you to make video calls on a regular basis? Additionally, impressed by your interaction with us students in “Tiangong Class”, I cannot help admiring your pioneering work, wondering what it takes to be a qualified astronaut.
Wish you a successful mission and a comfortable journey!
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua
第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
【答案】Just at that moment, many memories came back into my mind. When I was ill, she was always the one taking care of me. When I had trouble with my study, she never lost faith in me and encouraged me to keep going. When I arrived home during the weekend, she always prepared my favourite food. All her kindness came back to me. I should be grateful for all she had done for me. I realized that I should return home immediately and say sorry to my mother.
When arriving home, I saw my mother sitting at the dinner table, worried and tired. She must have been looking for me everywhere. I was ready for her anger and shouts. However, before I could apologize, my mother saw me and gently said :“oh, honey, thank God, you’re back! Come inside. You are probably very hungry? I cooked your favorite noodles, come and eat while they are still hot...” No longer able to control myself, I cried in her arms. “I ’m sorry, mom, please forgive me.” I whispered to her through tears, extremely ashamed of myself.
【解析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知，作者因为和妈妈吵架跑了出去。之后他饿了，但是没带钱，幸运的是好心的店主给了她一碗面条，她因为感动而落泪。而店主知道后对她说，自己就给了你一碗面就让你这么感激，而你小时候母亲一直在照顾你，为什么你不感恩，为什么？你伤害了你妈妈吗？店主的话让作者开始反思自己。
续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：就那一瞬间，很多回忆涌入脑海……，所以这一段应该写我的回忆。要详细描写妈妈是如何照顾我支持我的。第二段开头是：回到家之后，我看见妈妈坐在餐桌边，担忧又疲惫。本段应该写我回到家之后妈妈的反应，妈妈没有责怪我，反而在关心我。我因为愧疚向妈妈道歉，希望能得到她的原谅。

【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“Together they focused on Tess Object of Interest (TOI) 1233, a nearby, bright sun-like star and here they found four planets rotating around the star. “We were looking to see changes in light over time,” Pingle explained. “The idea is that if the planet transits the star, or passes in front of it, it would periodically cover up the star and decrease its brightness.”(他们共同关注了附近一颗明亮的类似太阳的恒星Tess Object 1233，在这里他们发现了四颗围绕该恒星旋转的行星。Pingle解释说：“我们希望看到光线随时间的变化。这种想法是，如果行星经过恒星，或在它前面经过，它会周期性地掩盖恒星，降低其亮度。”)”可知，这两位学生是通过分析1233恒星亮度的变化来识别这四颗行星的。故选B项。
【25题详解】
