A
Stacie wanted to stay at a nice hotel for vacation. But her parents sent her to a terrible camp instead. For breakfast, Stacie liked fresh juice and chocolate milk, but she got water at the camp. In the afternoon she wanted to write poems, but she had to swim. The camp was near an airport with loud planes. Spider webs hung over her bed. To her, the kids’ average behavior was very bad. No girl matched her personality. She hated it.
One day, they had a class. Mental exercise sounded good to Stacie. But it was a course on water safety. They learned how to be safe passengers on boat. Stacie didn’t even plan to go on a boat.
The next day, they played a game. There were a red team and a blue team. Stacie was on the blue team. Each team had to try to remove the other team’s flag from a pole. They also had to use water guns. “I am not much of an athlete,” she said. But she still had to play.
Stacie took a water gun and looked for somewhere to hide. A boy said, “Stacie, you advance to the middle. I will go right, those two will go left.”
Stacie still didn’t want to play. She walked into the forest and saw a red team player coming. Stacie hid behind a tree and then jumped out and shot him. “This is fun!” Stacie thought.
Several minutes after advancing further, Stacie saw the red flag. A red team member was watching over it. She shot him with her water gun. Then she lowered the flag and ran back to her team. “I got it!” she yelled. The blue team won! Stacie was the hero.

Schools keep changing. Every year, new inventions and products appear. Some of them are very helpful for students and teachers. Which of them will schools use? No one is sure, but here are some possible developments. Do you believe they will come true?
Robot Teachers There will be robots in the schools of the future. Some people think that these robots will help students with their homework. The robots will have special software from the school. They will know what the students are studying and they will be able to help them solve problems easily. | New Ideas for Classes Many teachers do not believe there will be traditional classes or classrooms.

Drowning is the second leading cause of accidental deaths of children, so a lot of parents are already signing them up for summer swim lessons.
Studies show they help save lives. According to USA Swimming, formal lessons reduce the possibility of drowning by nearly 90%.
Afton Kidman knows the dangers that come from water. “We shouldn’t only want our kids to think water is fun,” Kidman said. “They also need to know how to survive（存活）in it.”
Kidman’s son, Forrest, was in a drowning accident. He survived but suffered brain damage, and it’s why Kidman decided to learn how to teach survival swimming and became a teacher at Children Swimming Center.
“I wanted to be able to help more kids,” Kidman said. She’s taught nearly 50 of them so far. Some babies are as young as six months. This summer, she has 30 more children coming for lessons. “Every parent should have your child learn how to swim,” Kidman said, “it’s a great gift to give them.”
“Across the country, more than a million kids will learn to swim this summer,” Ruth Comer, with YMCA of Greater Des Moines, said. “Kids who are disabled or have special needs, anyone can learn to swim. It’s never too late.”
“I think it’s going to get a lot of kids that never would have had a chance to get swim lessons, that chance to get in a pool,” Ethan Johnson, head coach of the Des Moines Swimming Federation, said. “If we save one life, it’s all worth it.”
28. The underlined word “they” in the second paragraph refers to “______”.
A. parents B. swim lessons C. studies D. children
29. Kidman decided to become a swimming teacher because ______.
A. She wanted to earn money.
B. She wanted to save her son.
C. She was good at swimming.
D. Her son suffered from drowning.
30. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To ask more kids to have swim lessons.
B. To tell people how to survive in the water.
C. To explain the reasons of accidental deaths of children.
D. To show why Kidman decided to be a swimming teacher.
31. Where is this passage probably taken from?
A. Travel guide B. Science report
C. Sports magazine D. Business advertisement
D
“Hello, everyone! Welcome to Tiangong Class.” With this greeting, a special lecture began on Tiangong space station about 400 kilometers above Earth on Dec 9, 2021. The space lecture lasted for about an hour. Three astronauts from the Shenzhou XIII - Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu, hosted the lecture, introducing how they lived and worked on the space station.
This is the second live space lecture in China. In 2013, Wang delivered the country’s first live space lecture to over 60 million schoolchildren across China. Compared with the one eight years ago, this year’s space lecture is greatly different.
More space to teach
The “classroom” is bigger. Instead of Tiangong Ⅰ experimental module（舱）, this year Wang delivered the space lecture in the Tianhe space core module, which is the biggest spacecraft developed by China.
Technological development
The quality of space to ground communication is also much improved. The first lecture sometimes faced the challenges of the video freezing and an unclear picture. With the help of China’s Tianlian relay satellites, this year the transmission（传输）speed has been highly increased and the whole live broadcast has run smoothly.
More subjects
Along with the technological progress, this year’s space lecture discussed more subjects. Eight years ago, Wang showed students the laws of physics and focused on something about weightlessness in space. But this year, biology was added. The astronauts compared the growth and shape of cells in artificial（人工的）gravity and zero gravity, so as to study their changing rules and mechanisms.
Though these space lectures showed different topics, the aim behind them has never changed. It is to spread knowledge about manned spaceflights and arouse interest for science among young people.
32. According to the passage, which is NOT the difference between the year’s lecture and the lecture eight years ago?
A. The classroom is bigger.
B. The technology is improved.
C. The lecture lasted longer time.
D. They talked about more subjects.
33. Why did Chinese astronauts hold space lectures?
A. To introduce how they lived and worked on the space station.
B. To show the great technological development of Chinese space research.
C. To discuss the laws of physics and something about weightlessness in space.
D. To teach young people knowledge about spaceflights and make them interested in it.
34. Which statement is TRUE according to this article?
A. Wang Yaping has given space lectures to students twice.
B. The purpose of holding the space lectures is greatly different.
C. This year’s space lecture discussed laws, physics and biology.
D. 60 million Chinese schoolchildren took part in this year’s space lecture.
35. What is the best title for this passage?
A. Life in Shenzhou XIII B. A space lecture in Shenzhou XIII
C. A visit to Tiangong space station D. Three great Chinese astronauts.

You might wonder: Why is this happening? Who is the “killer”? Well, this is not a murder story. It is the result of years of afforestation（造林）efforts.
The Mu Us used to be one of the largest deserts in China. Sandstorms were common in northern Shaanxi. ___37___
The fight against desertification began in the 1970s. The work has more than tiring. He Li’e led an afforestation team in Yulin, Shaanxi. They once spent an entire afternoon planting trees under a burning sun. ___38___ Crying was useless. The next day, the team replanted all the trees.
___39___ One of them is Guo Chengwant. With encouragement from the government, in 1985, he started to plant trees in his village. Guo is now in his nineties. His children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren have continued the job. ___40___ These trees have made a big difference. In Yulin, the number of sandy days has dropped from 100 in 2000 to 10 now. With thousands of people’s efforts, the Mu Us Desert will be gone. Our motherland is becoming greener and lovelier.
A. The family has turned 30 square kilometers of desert into woods. B. However, a strong wind blew away all the young trees at night. C. In Yulin, there are many other sandstorm fighters. D. That’s because the desert is disappearing. E. Lots of people had to leave their homes. |
