It’s March 12th. Lili and Linlin are digging on a hill not far from their school. In China,

people across the country plant trees 1 on this day.

The idea of planting trees was first put forward in 1911 by Sun Zhongshan, the great 2 in China’s history. He  said more trees were needed as a  3  against flood and drought. In  1915,  April 5th was named as Tree Planting Day.

Then, in 1979, the day 4 to March 12th, to 5 the date on which Sun Zhong shan died. “Everyone has heard of the Great Wall of China,” says Lili. “But have you heard of the

Green Wall of China? That’s  the biggest tree planting    6    of all.” The Gobi Desert in the north of China was  7  every year. So in 1978, a tree  planting project was started to  8   Gobi   spreading. The government and local farmers have been planting millions of trees to build a great green “wall” along the edge of the desert.

“Tree planting has become a tradition in China now,” says Linlin. “Many people do it on March 12th. Many people  also plant a tree on a   9   day. My parents planted a tree when I   started school. And my cousin planted   10   on  his wedding day. We do it for the environment and for ourselves.”

It can be annoying when you go somewhere with no Wi-Fi or mobile phone signal. How can you get online? The private spaceflight company SpaceX might have the solution − its Starlink satellite network.

Satellites launched into space will be added to the network. The company hopes to put as many as 12,000 of these satellites into orbit (轨道) around Earth by 2024.

The goal of the network, which was first announced in January 2015, is to provide users

with high-speed space-based internet access (接入) from any point on Earth.

“We’re really talking about something which is, in the long term ( 从长远来看), like rebuilding the internet in space,” SpaceX founder Elon Musk said when announcing the project.

So how does it work? Satellite internet uses large spacecraft that orbit very far above Earth. These spacecraft receive information from base stations on Earth and then beam ( 发 送 ) it back down to users.

But these spacecraft are so far away that signals are slow and weak. Starlink solves this problem by using many small satellites that can communicate with each other and orbit closer to Earth, making signals stronger and faster.

It’s a big plan − but also one that looks more possible with every launch. A town in Washington state recently used Starlink while helping local people rebuild after a wildfire. Richard Hall, an IT expert who helped with the rebuilding, said he was impressed ( 印象深刻) with the service.

“I have never set up any tactical (短程的) satellite equipment (设备) that has been as quick to set up and anywhere near as reliable (可靠的) [as Starlink],” Hall told CNBC.

14. The Starlink satellite network       .
    1. will hopefully be completed in two years
    2. launched its first satellite in 2015
    3. will eventually have 1,200 satellites at the most
    4. is being developed by a mobile phone company
15. What is the aim of Starlink?

A. To make space travel easier. B. To provide internet connection in space.

C. To help with satellite launches. D. To send different types of satellites into space.

16. How does Starlink increase its signal strength and speed?
    1. By building a second network in space.
    2. By building more base stations on Earth.
    3. By using small satellites that are closer to Earth.
    4. By using spacecraft that orbit the moon.
17. What’s Hall’s opinion of Starlink?

A. It should improve its service for small towns. B. It is effective and can be trusted.

C. It will help prevent wildfires. D. It should be faster.

C

The documentary Born in China was shot in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau ( 青藏高原) and shows animals’ lives during different seasons.

It not only brings to audiences the lives of animals that are rarely seen in the wild – giant pandas and Tibetan antelopes (藏羚羊), for example – but also shows traditional Chinese culture. The film mainly focuses on life and love within three animal families – giant pandas, golden monkeys and snow leopards.

A symbol of China, the giant panda is both black and white. Its body is thought to show yin and yang. The panda’s gentle nature ( 本 性 ) also shows how yin and yang, when perfectly balanced, lead to peace and harmony (和谐). This can be seen in the documentary when a giant panda mother guides her baby to gradually look for independence and explore the world.

Monkeys always have strong personalities. The best example might be the Monkey King, a character from the popular novel Journey to the West (《西游记》). On one hand he stands for

impatience. But on the other hand, he shows cleverness and energy. Born in China follows a 2- year-old golden monkey who feels like his life has been changed for the worse by his new baby sister. He quickly joins up with a group of other free-spirited monkeys, but finally returns to his family and understands the meaning of responsibility.

A mother snow leopard faces the challenge of raising her two children in a harsh (严酷的) environment. The leopards, known for their rapid attacks and quick footwork, have inspired a form of pictographic boxing (象形拳) in Shaolin martial arts (武术).

“Born in China is a means to show Chinese traditional culture,” director Lu told the Binhai Times newspaper. “From five-animal exercises to pictographic boxing, Chinese people have learned from wild animals since ancient times.

18. What three animals does the film Born in China mainly focuses on life and love?
    1. giant pandas, golden monkeys and snow leopards
    2. giant pandas, golden monkeys and Tibetan antelopes
    3. giant pandas, snow leopards and Tibetan antelopes
    4. golden monkeys, snow leopards and Tibetan antelopes
19. How is Born in China special?
    1. It shows audiences the lives of animals in the wild.
    2. It is considered the best nature film ever made.
    3. It is the first wildlife documentary ever made in China.
    4. It shows Chinese traditional culture through the lives of animals.
20. What’s the symbol of China?

A. golden monkeys B. giant pandas C. Tibetan antelopes D. snow leopards

21. The golden monkey leaves home because     .
    1. he can’t get along with the Monkey King
    2. his mother wants him to be more independent
    3. he feels that his little sister has changed his life for the worse
    4. he wants to learn about responsibility from other monkeys.
22. What do we know about the snow leopards in the documentary?

    2. It was inspired by the novel Journey to the West.
    3. It shows what people can learn from animals.
    4. It shows how animals’ lives have changed.

阅读短文 D, 根据短文内容, 从短文后面的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项是多余项。

There are so many expressions in American English that sound pleasant (令人愉快的) but are not.               23              When someone says they have to “face the music”, it does not mean they are going to a concert. “Facing the music” means to accept the punishment of an action.

     24    For example, “I can’t face another night of camping! It’s cold and rainy.” Or “In life, you must face your fears.” Face used in this way is very common. Back to facing the music: Imagine a friend asks you to take care of her expensive sports car. She gives you the keys and says, “Thanks so much for watching my car while I’m away. But please, do not drive it. It is an extremely (极其) fast car.”               25              You want to show off to some friends. So, you drive it around town one night. As bad luck would have it, you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign. Bang!

When your friend returns you must tell her what you have done and “face the music”.

26   It could be losing her friendship or paying to repair her car – or both. Whatever the music is, you must face it.

To “take your medicine” means to accept the results from something bad you have done. And if someone says, “You made your bed. Now lie in it,” they mean you created a bad situation and now you have to experience the results!

30. Betty and her brother Jim love animals and they both keep dogs at home. But Jim’s dog often eats Betty’s dog’s food in the bowl. Betty doesn’t know how to deal with it.
31. David has much online homework, but he finds doing homework with the computer is a waste of time. He hopes he can have a product that can help him use the computer easily and quickly.

    2. This smart keyboard can be controlled by your voice, so it’s much easier to use. If you want to

write a passage, you just read it loudly, and the keyboard will finish it quickly.

3. Ploota is the world’s smallest “life jacket”. It’s used to stop people from drowning ( 溺 水 ). When you are in danger in water, two airbags will open themselves and take you out of water.
4. Mookkie is a smart pet bowl. It’s used for stopping any other pet from eating the food in it. It can only remember the face of one pet. If other pets get close to the bowl, it will close itself.
5. Flyte is a smart light that makes your room look bright without any electricity. If you are awake at night, it will be your helper, and if you are asleep, it will stop working.

They were also asked about the               47              (important) they put on using such places.
