Once upon a time, when the world was young and Gods ruled, there were ten suns in the sky. They were the young sons of a Goddess. At night, after bathing, nine of them slept on a low branch(树枝) of a tree near the East Sea, and the other on a higher one. When it was daytime, the sun on the higher branch would take a ride across the sky, shining, bringing light and warmth to the world. Human lived happily, so did all the wildlife.

One day, the ten brothers decided to travel across the sky together. How fun it would be! So they all got on the imperial carriage(辇) and played in the sky.

Have you ever heard of Earth Day? As a result of the global coronavirus outbreak(冠状病毒爆发), a lot of activities have been stopped, but Earth Day is not one of them.

The story began when astronauts on Spaceship Apollo 8 brought back a photo of the Earth on December 24, 1968. It was the first time people could see our home from space on a photo with full color. Although it showed people how beautiful the Earth was, the photo also reminded us how venerable the blue planet could be. Since then, people started to understand that the Earth could be easily broken. The modern environmental movement(运动) started. On April 22, 1970, environmental groups created the first Earth Day. More than 20 million people walked out to streets and talked about how they could protect the Earth.

Coronavirus this year may not allow us to gather(聚集), but it will not keep us silent. Environmental groups have set up a website(http://www. earthday. org) for people who care about the Earth to share their opinions. You can write about anything on the website as long as it can make a difference in making the Earth better. It could be about stopping the overuse(过度使用) of cars, protecting wildlife around the world or just saving drinking water.

With the help of digital medias(电子媒体), the whole world is more connected than ever. Please go to the website and share your ideas. Together, we can take action to change our lives and change our world, not for one day, but forever. 

48．On December 24, 1968, ______.  

A．Spaceship Apollo 8 brought astronauts into space

Take a look at the picture. The robot on the left is a famous "musician" named Shimon. Shimon is a robot with four arms and a ball-like head. He holds small mallets(木槌) in his "hands" to play a marimba(马林巴琴). His head moves around with the beat(节拍) of his music he plays.

Actually, Shimon can do more than that. He is taught to write his own music with the help of a new technology known as Artificial Intelligence(AI). The leader of the Shimon project, Gil Weinberg, calls this "deep learning". After a four-year "training", now Shimon can not only write his music, but also play it in real time with other musicians, as the picture shows.

Singing the songs is another story. Yes, Shimon has his own voice, too. His voice was created by AI and sounds very like a man. The researchers even recorded one of Shimon's songs called Into Your Mind. To show the world how wonderful Shimon is, the team has put out an album(专辑) of his songs on the music streaming media(音乐流媒体) Spotify. Some listeners comment(评论) that they can't believe the voice is from a robot. Next, the researchers want to make plans for Shimon to go on a tour(巡演) with a band and play his music live. Of course he can sing some of them.

AI is developing at a surprising speed, but the main goal of projects like Shimon is never to show human how much robots can do. "The most important is that we know together, human and robots can and will make something beautiful. " says Gil Weinberg.

52．______ helped Shimon learn to write his own music.

A．Gil Weinberg B．Other musicians

C．Artificial Intelligence D．Spotify

53．The researchers of Shimon project have already ______.

A．  "trained" Shimon for four years

B．recorded Shimon's song Into Your Mind

C．made Shimon play his music live

D．let Shimon have a tour around the world

54．The best title of this passage could be ______.

A．Shimon the Robot B．Robots' Music

C．AI: a New Technology D．Human vs Robots

55．We can infer(推断) from the passage that ______.

A．Shimon can play music with other musicians

B．Shimon has sang only one song on his own

C．Shimon's music may be popular on Spotify

D．Shimon's music can't be found on Spotify

In Wenling, Zhejiang on June 13, 2020, the explosion(爆炸) of a tank truck(槽罐车) filled with liquefied gas(液化气) on Highway G15 shocked the country. It has already caused 20 deaths and over 100 injuries up to June 15. Except for accidents like this, natural disasters are also a threat(威胁) to people's lives.      ▲      .

Floods(洪水) took thousands of lives every year. The easiest way to keep yourself safe is to get to higher grounds like the top of a building. Do not try to swim across a river because no matter how good a swimmer you are, the water will run too quickly for you. Another important thing is not to panic(慌张), shout or do anything that may make you weak. Save your energy and wait for help.

These years, earthquakes happen more often than in the past. Luckily, nowadays, a few seconds before the earthquake comes, your cell phones can receive warnings. Pay attention to them. If you are at home, turning off electricity(电) and gas as quickly as possible may lower(降低) the risk of explosion. What's more, news reports say sometimes jumping out of a tall building may be more dangerous than staying where you are.

Fire is also dangerous. If your clothes are on fire, do not run around and hope the wind helps put out the fire. The right thing to do is to roll(打滚) on the ground. Do not use elevators when fire happens. Smoke can choke(呛) you, so prepare a wet towel and lower your body to avoid(回避) smoke. If you have to get out of the building, try to use sheets(床单) as a life-saving rope. Never jump directly out.

56．The best sentence for      ▲       could be ______.

A．Remember to be careful when going near a tank truck.

B．Floods, earthquakes and fires are dangerous, too.

C．What kinds of natural disasters do you know?

D．What can we do if we are caught in them?

57．When floods come, we should ______.

①get to higher grounds            ②prepare a wet towel 

③swim across the river            ④try to save our energy

A．①③ B．③④ C．②④ D．①④

58．To lower the risk of explosion when earthquakes come, you may ______.

A．pay attention to the warnings B．turn off electricity and gas

C．use sheets as a life-saving rope D．lower your body to avoid the smoke

59．Picture _________ shows the right structure(结构) of the passage.

(① =Para. 1; ②=Para. 2; ③=Para. 3; ④=Para. 4)

A．

B．

C．

D．

Have you ever heard of bicycle sharing? People used to depend on buses or subways to 　84．     　 in the city. Now things have changed. A huge number of bright yellow bikes have appeared even on a street corner. You can scan(扫描) the QR code(二维码) on the bike and start riding.

Some people believe it is great for them to go outside using shared bicycles. It can reduce(减少) traffic jams. Also, citizens are now becoming 　86．          　 lazier than before. Bicycle sharing can encourage people to ride bicycles as transportation, and at the same time, they can do some exercise to keep healthy.

But remember, shared bicycles can only do its part in making our life better if we all be users with good manners.
