第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分 ）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms, which reflect the Chinese people’s understanding of time. Here several special solar terms are listed.
Rain Water
Rain Water signals the increase in rainfall and rise in temperature. With its arrival, the river water defreezes, wild geese move from south to north, and trees and grass turn green again. Extra care is needed to cope with a returning cold spell in this period. The wet and damp weather during Rain Water period is considered harmful for people’s spleen (脾) and stomach according to Chinese medical practice. Therefore, a bowl of nutritious porridge is the best choice to nourish the body.
Awakening of Insects
As the third solar term in the lunar year, its name implies that animals sleeping in winter are awakened by spring thunder and that the earth begins to come back to life. It is the key time for spring agricultural activities. Modern meteorological science shows that around this period, the earth becomes wet, the hot humid air from the north is strong and creates frequent winds. For this reason, thunder often occurs.
Spring Equinox
Spring Equinox signals the equal length of the day and night time. On the day of the Spring Equinox, the sun is directly above the equator. After the equinox, the sun moves northwards, resulting in gradually longer day time in the Northern Hemisphere. Standing an egg upright is a popular game during this period. It is believed that if someone can make the egg stand, he will have good luck in the future.
Grain Rain
Grain Rain originates from the old saying, “Rain brings up the growth of hundreds of grains", which shows that this period of rainfall is extremely important for the growth of crops and people are busy working on the land. Grain Rain falls between the end of' spring and the beginning of summer, with infrequent cold air moving to the south and lingering cold air in the north. With dry soil, an unsteady atmosphere and heavy winds and sandstorms become more frequent.
21. What can we know about Rain Water?
A. River water starts to freeze.
B. Taking off the thick coats is advisable.
C. Lively spring-like scenery can be seen.
D. It falls between the end of spring and the start of summer.
22. What do Awakening of Insects and Grain Rain have in common?
A. Farming season. B. Animal activities.
C. Air temperature. D. Frequent thundering.
23. In which solar term would people most probably put on masks?
A. Rain Water. B. Grain Rain.
C. Spring Equinox. D. Awakening of Insects.
B
The Board Meeting had come to an end. Bob started to stand up and knocked into the table, spilling his coffee over his notes. “How embarrassing! I am getting so clumsy in my old age.”
Everyone had a good laugh, and soon we were all telling stories of our most embarrassing moments. It came around to Frank who sat quietly listening to the others. Someone said, “Come on, Frank. Tell us your most embarrassing moment.”
Frank laughed and began to tell us of his childhood. “I grew up in San Pedro. My Dad was a fisherman, and he loved the sea. He had his own boat, but it was hard making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed the family. Not just enough for our family, but also for his Mom and Dad and the other kids that were still at home.”
He looked at us and said, “I wish you could have met my Dad. He was a big man, and he was strong from pulling the nets and fighting the seas for his catch. When you got close to him, he smelled like the ocean. He would wear his old canvas, foul-weather coat and his bibbed overalls. His rain hat would be pulled down over his brow. No matter how much my mother washed them, they would still smell of the sea and of fish.”
Frank’s voice dropped a bit. “When the weather was bad he would drive me to school. He had this old truck that he used in his fishing business. That truck was older than he was. It would wheeze and rattle down the road. You could hear it coming for blocks. As he would drive toward the school, I would shrink (畏缩) down into the seat hoping to disappear. Half the time, he would slam to a stop and the old truck would belch (喷出) a cloud of smoke. He would pull right up in front, and it seemed like everybody would be standing around and watching. Then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. It was so embarrassing for me. Here, I was twelve years old, and my Dad would lean over and kiss me goodbye!”
He paused and then went on, “I remember the day I decided I was too old for a goodbye kiss. When we got to the school and came to a stop, he had his usual big smile. He started to lean toward me, but I put my hand up and said, “No, Dad.” It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way, and he had this surprised look on his face. I said, “Dad, I’m too old for a goodbye kiss. I’m too old for any kind of kiss.” My Dad looked at me for the longest time, and his eyes started to tear up. Then he turned and looked out the windshield. “ You’re right,” he said. “ You are a big boy.... a man. I won’t kiss you anymore.”
Frank got a funny look on his face, and the tears began to well up in his eyes, as he spoke. “It wasn’t long after that when my Dad went to sea and never came back. It was a day when most of the fleet (船队) stayed in, but not Dad. He had a big family to feed. They found his boat adrift with its nets half in and half out. He must have gotten into a strong wind and was trying to save the nets and the floats.”
I looked at Frank and saw that tears were running down his cheeks. Frank spoke again. “Guys, you don’t know what I would give to have my Dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek…to feel his rough old face… to smell the ocean on him… to feel his arm around my neck. I wish I had been a man then. If I had been a man, I would never have told my Dad I was too old for a goodbye kiss.”
24. When his father drove him to the school, Frank would shrink down into the seat hoping to disappear because ________.
A. he was ashamed of his father’s old truck
B. he thought he was old enough to go to school alone
C. he didn’t want his schoolmates to see his father
D. he hated the way his schoolmates stared at his father
25. In Frank’s eyes, when his father said “You are a big boy… a man.”, he probably felt ________.
A. disappointed B. hurt C. excited D. proud
26. According to the story we can conclude that Frank’s father ________.
A. was quite confident in his skills in fishing
B. loved his children but hardly expressed it
C. seldom gave up faced with challenges
D. was full of devotion to his family
27 Which of the following may be the best title for this passage?

C. A Goodbye Kiss
D. Father’s Embarrassment
C
Salvador Dali had a strange way of refreshing his mind — “slumber (睡眠) with a key”. In a book, he described how it worked. “You were to grasp a heavy key, hanging above a plate.” Then, he continued, “As you were progressively asleep, the key would slip from your fingers and fall on the plate, awakening you.” He claimed the brief moment spent between wake and sleep would refresh your physical and mental being.
Now Dali’s mysterious-sounding method has been, to some degree, proven by science — napping with an object in hand might help to tap into this creative sweet spot.
Delphine Oudiette is a sleep researcher at the Paris Brain Institute. She was curious to find out why — so she and her colleagues asked 103 volunteers to complete a series of math problems.
Unknown to the participants, there was a quick shortcut to solve all the problems. ( Sixteen of the volunteers figured that out and were excluded from the rest of the study. ) The volunteers who didn’t determine the secret were asked to emulate (模仿) Dali’s method — but grasping a plastic bottle with their fingertips rather than a key. Some took a Dali-style micro nap (小睡), some napped longer and others didn’t nap at all. After the nap, the researchers asked all the volunteers to do hundreds more of these math problems. And they found that volunteers who took micro naps were nearly three times as likely to figure out the problem-solving trick, compared to those who didn’t nap at all.
Oudiette said, “We think that’s maybe in this short period, you have the best of the two worlds: sleep and wake. So you lose control of your thoughts and have loose associations, which could be helpful for creativity. But at the same time, you still keep some awareness that might help you to recognize when you have a great idea. Those who slept for longer periods actually did worse than both those who briefly slept and those who stayed awake. The next step of my work will involve repeating the experiment with other creative tasks to know more about the mechanism — and maybe to teach people to reach this creative sweet spot.”
28. Why did Dali use a heavy key and a plate?
A. The key and the plate could help him sleep faster.
B. The key and the plate were easy to find in his house.
C. The plate could prevent the key slipping onto the floor.
D. The key would make a loud noise when hitting the plate.
29. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Dali’s method. B. Oudiette’s study.
C. The quick shortcut. D. The maths problem.
30. Which is a fact in Oudiette’s study?
A. All the participants didn’t nap in the process.
B. Only 16 participants worked out the math problems.
C. 87 volunteers tried sleeping with a key in their hands.
D. Those who napped were asked not to do the math problems.
31. What can be inferred from Oudiette’s words?
A. Sleep and wake have loose associations.
B. People have relaxed minds when sleeping.
C. Those staying awake did worst in the study.
D. She has fortunately found out the root cause.
D
The fish eggs, all 200 of them, were settled and ready to go. The ground crew had counted the eggs carefully, and sealed them tightly within a plate filled precisely to the edge with seawater.
The countdown, and then—ignition (点火)! For two full minutes, the precious eggs suffered a violent shaking as the rocket’s engines exploded to life, and then rise to the heavens. These eggs were on their way to low Earth orbit. Next stop: the moon.
Well, they haven’t actually left yet. But after a recent simulation (模拟) designed to re-create the intense shaking of a typical takeoff, researchers in France found that the eggs survived. It’s a crucial discovery in the progress of the Lunar Hatch, a program that aims to determine whether astronauts could successfully raise fish on a future moon base.
Finally, Cyrille Przybyla, an aquaculture (水产养殖) researcher at the French Research Institute for Exploitation of the Sea who led the research, dreams of designing a lunar fish farm that uses water already on the moon to help feed residents of the future Moon Village set to be established by the European Space Agency (ESA).
Przybyla’s hope is to offer lunar residents fresh, inviting, protein-rich fish—not just packets of freeze-dried food. “I proposed the idea to send eggs, not fish, because eggs are very strong,” he says.
Besides, Przybyla suggests there will be other benefits for astronauts who may one day find themselves raising animals in space. “From the psychological point of view, it’s better to have a reminder of Earth–you have a garden; you have a tank with fish,” he says.
Designing self-contained and self-supporting systems for food production beyond Earth will be crucial for future space exploration programs, says Luke Roberson, a researcher at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. And he says Przybyla’s study is “a great first step” toward showing that aquaculture is a practical part of that future.
32. What is Paragraph 2 about?
A. An imagination. B. An experience. C. An experiment. D. An adventure.
33. Why do the researchers want to send the eggs to the moon?
A. To offer eggs to astronauts as food. B. To test whether the eggs are strong.
C. To promote aquaculture on the earth. D. To see the possibility of raising fish on the moon.
34. What’s the psychological advantage of raising animals in space?
A It can get rid of loneliness. B. It diversifies the space food.
C. It gives astronauts something to do. D. It helps astronauts remember the Earth.
35. What’s Luke Roberson’s attitude to the plan to raise fish on the moon?
A. Doubtful. B. Favorable. C. Disapproving. D. Neutral.

But others talked enthusiastically about his understanding of the Chinese Dream. We all believe that Chinese dream will come true in the future. I also talk about my own dream.

第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分 ）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms, which reflect the Chinese people’s understanding of time. Here several special solar terms are listed.
Rain Water
Rain Water signals the increase in rainfall and rise in temperature. With its arrival, the river water defreezes, wild geese move from south to north, and trees and grass turn green again. Extra care is needed to cope with a returning cold spell in this period. The wet and damp weather during Rain Water period is considered harmful for people’s spleen (脾) and stomach according to Chinese medical practice. Therefore, a bowl of nutritious porridge is the best choice to nourish the body.
Awakening of Insects
As the third solar term in the lunar year, its name implies that animals sleeping in winter are awakened by spring thunder and that the earth begins to come back to life. It is the key time for spring agricultural activities. Modern meteorological science shows that around this period, the earth becomes wet, the hot humid air from the north is strong and creates frequent winds. For this reason, thunder often occurs.
Spring Equinox
Spring Equinox signals the equal length of the day and night time. On the day of the Spring Equinox, the sun is directly above the equator. After the equinox, the sun moves northwards, resulting in gradually longer day time in the Northern Hemisphere. Standing an egg upright is a popular game during this period. It is believed that if someone can make the egg stand, he will have good luck in the future.
Grain Rain
Grain Rain originates from the old saying, “Rain brings up the growth of hundreds of grains", which shows that this period of rainfall is extremely important for the growth of crops and people are busy working on the land. Grain Rain falls between the end of' spring and the beginning of summer, with infrequent cold air moving to the south and lingering cold air in the north. With dry soil, an unsteady atmosphere and heavy winds and sandstorms become more frequent.
21 What can we know about Rain Water?
A. River water starts to freeze.
B. Taking off the thick coats is advisable.
C. Lively spring-like scenery can be seen.
D. It falls between the end of spring and the start of summer.
22. What do Awakening of Insects and Grain Rain have in common?
A. Farming season. B. Animal activities.
C. Air temperature. D. Frequent thundering.
23. In which solar term would people most probably put on masks?
A. Rain Water. B. Grain Rain.
C. Spring Equinox. D. Awakening of Insects.
【答案】21. C 22. A 23. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国24节气中的“雨水”、“惊蛰”、“春分”和“谷雨”这四个节气，让我们进一步了解这四个节气的气候和习俗。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“With its arrival, the river water defreezes, wild geese move from south to north, and trees and grass turn green again.(随着它的到来，河水解冻，大雁由南向北迁徙，树木和草又变绿了)”可知，雨水之后热闹的春色随处可见。故选C项。
【22题详解】
判断推理题。根据第三段中“It is the key time for spring agricultural activities.(这是春季农业活动的关键时期)”可知，惊蛰是农业的关键，以及最后一段第一句“Grain Rain originates from the old saying, ‘Rain brings up the growth of hundreds of grains’, which shows that this period of rainfall is extremely important for the growth of crops and people are busy working on the land.(谷雨源于古语“雨生百谷”，说明这一时期的降雨对农作物的生长极为重要，人们正忙于耕作)”结合来看，可得知惊蛰和谷雨这两个节气对农业来说都很重要，是耕作的季节。故选A项。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“With dry soil, an unsteady atmosphere and heavy winds and sandstorms become more frequent.(由于土壤干燥，大气不稳定和强风，沙尘暴变得更加频繁)”可推测，在谷雨时沙尘暴经常出现，所以人们最可能需要佩戴口罩保护自己。故选B项。
B
The Board Meeting had come to an end. Bob started to stand up and knocked into the table, spilling his coffee over his notes. “How embarrassing! I am getting so clumsy in my old age.”
Everyone had a good laugh, and soon we were all telling stories of our most embarrassing moments. It came around to Frank who sat quietly listening to the others. Someone said, “Come on, Frank. Tell us your most embarrassing moment.”
Frank laughed and began to tell us of his childhood. “I grew up in San Pedro. My Dad was a fisherman, and he loved the sea. He had his own boat, but it was hard making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed the family. Not just enough for our family, but also for his Mom and Dad and the other kids that were still at home.”
He looked at us and said, “I wish you could have met my Dad. He was a big man, and he was strong from pulling the nets and fighting the seas for his catch. When you got close to him, he smelled like the ocean. He would wear his old canvas, foul-weather coat and his bibbed overalls. His rain hat would be pulled down over his brow. No matter how much my mother washed them, they would still smell of the sea and of fish.”
Frank’s voice dropped a bit. “When the weather was bad he would drive me to school. He had this old truck that he used in his fishing business. That truck was older than he was. It would wheeze and rattle down the road. You could hear it coming for blocks. As he would drive toward the school, I would shrink (畏缩) down into the seat hoping to disappear. Half the time, he would slam to a stop and the old truck would belch (喷出) a cloud of smoke. He would pull right up in front, and it seemed like everybody would be standing around and watching. Then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. It was so embarrassing for me. Here, I was twelve years old, and my Dad would lean over and kiss me goodbye!”
He paused and then went on, “I remember the day I decided I was too old for a goodbye kiss. When we got to the school and came to a stop, he had his usual big smile. He started to lean toward me, but I put my hand up and said, “No, Dad.” It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way, and he had this surprised look on his face. I said, “Dad, I’m too old for a goodbye kiss. I’m too old for any kind of kiss.” My Dad looked at me for the longest time, and his eyes started to tear up. Then he turned and looked out the windshield. “ You’re right,” he said. “ You are a big boy.... a man. I won’t kiss you anymore.”
Frank got a funny look on his face, and the tears began to well up in his eyes, as he spoke. “It wasn’t long after that when my Dad went to sea and never came back. It was a day when most of the fleet (船队) stayed in, but not Dad. He had a big family to feed. They found his boat adrift with its nets half in and half out. He must have gotten into a strong wind and was trying to save the nets and the floats.”
I looked at Frank and saw that tears were running down his cheeks. Frank spoke again. “Guys, you don’t know what I would give to have my Dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek…to feel his rough old face… to smell the ocean on him… to feel his arm around my neck. I wish I had been a man then. If I had been a man, I would never have told my Dad I was too old for a goodbye kiss.”
24. When his father drove him to the school, Frank would shrink down into the seat hoping to disappear because ________.
A. he was ashamed of his father’s old truck
B. he thought he was old enough to go to school alone

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了弗兰克与父亲之间的关于“道别之吻”的事情，表达了弗兰克对父亲的思念和对自己行为的懊悔。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段关键句“That truck was older than he was. It would wheeze and rattle down the road.”可知，父亲的旧卡车比他的年纪还大，它会在路上喘息、嘎嘎作响。根据句意可知，弗兰克对父亲的旧卡车是充满了嫌弃的。由此可推断出，当父亲开卡车送他去学校时，他缩在座位上并希望消失是因为他为父亲的旧卡车感到尴尬。故选A项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。A．disappointed失望的；B．hurt受伤的；C．excited兴奋的；D．proud自豪的。根据文章第六段关键句“My Dad looked at me for the longest time, and his eyes started to tear up.”可知，当父亲在说这句话的时候，他的眼睛开始流泪。由此可推断出在弗兰克的眼里，父亲在说这句话时应该是感觉受伤的，所以才会流泪。故选B项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段关键句“He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed the family. Not just enough for our family, but also for his Mom and Dad and the other kids that were still at home.”可知，父亲工作很努力，一直待在外面，直到他赚到足够的食物来养家。不仅供养我们的家庭，也供养他的父母和其他还在家的孩子。由此可推断出，弗兰克的父亲对家庭充满的奉献精神。故选D项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。浏览全文，文章以A Goodbye Kiss（道别之吻）为线索进行叙述。根据文章第六段关键句“Dad, I’m too old for a goodbye kiss. I’m too old for any kind of kiss.”可知，弗兰克认为他已经长大了，不需要道别之吻了。再根据文章第六段关键句“Guys, you don’t know what I would give to have my Dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek…to feel his rough old face… to smell the ocean on him… to feel his arm around my neck.”可知，在父亲离开他之后，他希望父亲能够再吻他一次，表达了他内心的懊悔。由此可推断出A Goodbye Kiss能够概括文章主旨。故选C项。
C
Salvador Dali had a strange way of refreshing his mind — “slumber (睡眠) with a key”. In a book, he described how it worked. “You were to grasp a heavy key, hanging above a plate.” Then, he continued, “As you were progressively asleep, the key would slip from your fingers and fall on the plate, awakening you.” He claimed the brief moment spent between wake and sleep would refresh your physical and mental being.
Now Dali’s mysterious-sounding method has been, to some degree, proven by science — napping with an object in hand might help to tap into this creative sweet spot.
Delphine Oudiette is a sleep researcher at the Paris Brain Institute. She was curious to find out why — so she and her colleagues asked 103 volunteers to complete a series of math problems.
Unknown to the participants, there was a quick shortcut to solve all the problems. ( Sixteen of the volunteers figured that out and were excluded from the rest of the study. ) The volunteers who didn’t determine the secret were asked to emulate (模仿) Dali’s method — but grasping a plastic bottle with their fingertips rather than a key. Some took a Dali-style micro nap (小睡), some napped longer and others didn’t nap at all. After the nap, the researchers asked all the volunteers to do hundreds more of these math problems. And they found that volunteers who took micro naps were nearly three times as likely to figure out the problem-solving trick, compared to those who didn’t nap at all.
Oudiette said, “We think that’s maybe in this short period, you have the best of the two worlds: sleep and wake. So you lose control of your thoughts and have loose associations, which could be helpful for creativity. But at the same time, you still keep some awareness that might help you to recognize when you have a great idea. Those who slept for longer periods actually did worse than both those who briefly slept and those who stayed awake. The next step of my work will involve repeating the experiment with other creative tasks to know more about the mechanism — and maybe to teach people to reach this creative sweet spot.”
28. Why did Dali use a heavy key and a plate?
A. The key and the plate could help him sleep faster.
B. The key and the plate were easy to find in his house.
C. The plate could prevent the key slipping onto the floor.
D. The key would make a loud noise when hitting the plate.
29. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Dali’s method. B. Oudiette’s study.
C. The quick shortcut. D. The maths problem.
30. Which is a fact in Oudiette’s study?
A. All the participants didn’t nap in the process.
B. Only 16 participants worked out the math problems.
C. 87 volunteers tried sleeping with a key in their hands.
D. Those who napped were asked not to do the math problems.
31. What can be inferred from Oudiette’s words?
A. Sleep and wake have loose associations.
B. People have relaxed minds when sleeping.
C. Those staying awake did worst in the study.
D. She has fortunately found out the root cause.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. A 31. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述打盹可以激发创造力，已经得到科学证实。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“As you were progressively asleep, the key would slip from your fingers and fall on the plate, awakening you.(当你逐渐入睡时，钥匙会从你的手指上滑落，掉在盘子上，把你唤醒)”可知，Dali使用一个沉重的钥匙和盘子，是因为逐渐入睡时，钥匙掉在盘子上会发出很大的响声。故选D项。
【29题详解】
指代猜测题。根据划线词上文“Unknown to the participants, there was a quick shortcut to solve all the problems.(参与者不知道，有一个快速的捷径可以解决所有的问题)”可知，参与者不知道有一个快速的捷径可以解决所有问题，结合划线词下文“The volunteers who didn’t determine the secret were asked to emulate (模仿) Dali’s method(不了解秘密的志愿者被要求效仿Dali的方法)”可推知，“Sixteen of the volunteers figured that out”是与下文“不了解秘密的人”相反，所以本句指“有16个人解出了那个快速的捷径，被排除在剩下的研究之外”，that指代上文提到的“快速的捷径”。故选C项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Some took a Dali-style micro nap (小睡), some napped longer and others didn’t nap at all.  (一些人和达利一样打了个盹，一些人打盹时间更长一些，还有一些人根本没有打盹。)”可知，并不是所有参与者在这个过程中都打盹了。故选A项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Oudiette说的话“We think that’s maybe in this short period, you have the best of the two worlds: sleep and wake. So you lose control of your thoughts and have loose associations, which could be helpful for creativity.(我们认为，也许在这个短时间内，你处于睡眠和清醒两个世界中最好的状态。因此，你会失去对自己思想的控制，可以不受束缚地联想，这可能有助于创造力)”可知，人们在睡觉的时候会大脑会处于放松状态。故选B项。
D
The fish eggs, all 200 of them, were settled and ready to go. The ground crew had counted the eggs carefully, and sealed them tightly within a plate filled precisely to the edge with seawater.
The countdown, and then—ignition (点火)! For two full minutes, the precious eggs suffered a violent shaking as the rocket’s engines exploded to life, and then rise to the heavens. These eggs were on their way to low Earth orbit. Next stop: the moon.
Well, they haven’t actually left yet. But after a recent simulation (模拟) designed to re-create the intense shaking of a typical takeoff, researchers in France found that the eggs survived. It’s a crucial discovery in the progress of the Lunar Hatch, a program that aims to determine whether astronauts could successfully raise fish on a future moon base.
Finally, Cyrille Przybyla, an aquaculture (水产养殖) researcher at the French Research Institute for Exploitation of the Sea who led the research, dreams of designing a lunar fish farm that uses water already on the moon to help feed residents of the future Moon Village set to be established by the European Space Agency (ESA).
Przybyla’s hope is to offer lunar residents fresh, inviting, protein-rich fish—not just packets of freeze-dried food. “I proposed the idea to send eggs, not fish, because eggs are very strong,” he says.
Besides, Przybyla suggests there will be other benefits for astronauts who may one day find themselves raising animals in space. “From the psychological point of view, it’s better to have a reminder of Earth–you have a garden; you have a tank with fish,” he says.
Designing self-contained and self-supporting systems for food production beyond Earth will be crucial for future space exploration programs, says Luke Roberson, a researcher at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. And he says Przybyla’s study is “a great first step” toward showing that aquaculture is a practical part of that future.
32. What is Paragraph 2 about?
A. An imagination. B. An experience. C. An experiment. D. An adventure.
33. Why do the researchers want to send the eggs to the moon?
A. To offer eggs to astronauts as food. B. To test whether the eggs are strong.
C. To promote aquaculture on the earth. D. To see the possibility of raising fish on the moon.
34. What’s the psychological advantage of raising animals in space?
A. It can get rid of loneliness. B. It diversifies the space food.
C. It gives astronauts something to do. D. It helps astronauts remember the Earth.
35. What’s Luke Roberson’s attitude to the plan to raise fish on the moon?
A. Doubtful. B. Favorable. C. Disapproving. D. Neutral.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是太空养鱼计划。
【32题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“The countdown, and then—ignition (点火)! For two full minutes, the precious eggs suffered a violent shaking as the rocket’s engines exploded to life, and then rise to the heavens. These eggs were on their way to low Earth orbit. Next stop: the moon.(倒计时，然后点火！在整整两分钟的时间里，当火箭发动机爆炸时，这些珍贵的蛋遭受了剧烈的摇晃，然后升到了天空。这些鸡蛋在前往近地轨道的途中。下一站：月球)”可知，第二段主要介绍了一次实验。故选C。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“It’s a crucial discovery in the progress of the Lunar Hatch, a program that aims to determine whether astronauts could successfully raise fish on a future moon base.(这是月球孵化计划进展中的一个重要发现，该计划旨在确定宇航员能否在未来的月球基地成功养鱼)”可知研究人员想把这些卵送到月球上，看看在月球上养鱼的可能性。故选D。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段““From the psychological point of view, it’s better to have a reminder of Earth–you have a garden; you have a tank with fish,” he says.(“从心理学的角度来看，最好有一个地球的提醒——你有一个花园;你有一个养鱼的鱼缸，”他说)”可知，在太空中饲养动物的心理优势在于，它能帮助宇航员记住地球。故选D。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Designing self-contained and self-supporting systems for food production beyond Earth will be crucial for future space exploration programs, says Luke Roberson, a researcher at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. And he says Przybyla’s study is “a great first step” toward showing that aquaculture is a practical part of that future.(美国宇航局位于佛罗里达州的肯尼迪航天中心的研究人员卢克·罗伯森说，为地球以外的食物生产设计自给自足的系统对未来的太空探索计划至关重要。他说，Przybyla的研究是向水产养殖业是未来的实际组成部分迈出的“伟大的第一步”)”可推知，卢克·罗伯逊对在月球上养鱼的计划是支持的。故选B。

Be grateful.____38____Even if it is just gratitude for being alive, for breathing, for the beautiful weather, there is truly something positive occurring. Make the effort to recognize all that is right in your life instead of always focusing on what is wrong.
Love yourself. Contrary to what many people think, loving yourself is really a wise decision.___39___If you have problems with this, positive affirmation(肯定) and self-esteem-building exercises may help.
____40____This doesn't mean you should accept bad behavior or allow others to treat you poorly, but realizing that acting lovingly towards others will go much further than acting selfishly. Not only that but also doing nice things for others can help you feel good as well.
A It is hard for many of us to forget the wrongdoings of our past.
B. Turn negative thoughts to positive ones.
C. Decide to love others, no matter what.
D. Adopt the motto “Everything happens for a reason.”
E. Too many of us focus on our faults instead of recognizing how truly special we are.

In some middle schools, iPads are introduced into classrooms to replace traditional textbooks and assist teachers as well as students in teaching and learning.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 In some middle schools, iPads are introduced into classrooms to replace traditional textbooks and assist teachers as well as students in teaching and learning.
For us students, we have different opinions toward this phenomenon. Some of us hold the view that it’s a better way to save paper, which definitely does good to environmental protection. Moreover, using iPads brings us efficiency and convenience. However, others tend to believe that iPad costs so much money that not everyone can afford it. Besides, if we spend large quantities of time playing games on it, there is a high risk of being addicted to it, which of course will have a bad impact on study.
As for me, I’m in favor of using iPad, because we can search for abundant information that can’t be found in traditional textbooks. Of course, every bean has its black. Therefore, it’s a matter of how we can use it properly, not whether we should use it.
