Finding perfect places for launching

The Shenzhou XIV crew members began their six-month mission on June 5. When the crews mission finishes around the end of 2022, the Tiangong space station will be fully operational, according to China Daily.

Developments have been made not only in space, but also on Earth. There are currently six satellite launch sites in China, including Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Gansu, Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan, Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in Shanxi and Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site in Hainan; and two newly constructed ones: China Oriental Spaceport in Shandong and Xiangshan Satellite Launch Center in Zhejiang. How are the launch sites chosen? Several factors are taken into consideration.

Site location

Launching a spacecraft should consider the Earth’s rotation（自转）. The lower the latitude（纬度）, the faster the Earth’s rotation. If the satellite’s orbit is in the same direction as the Earth’s rotation, a lower latitude adds to the speed when the satellite is launched, leading to lower fuel costs. Experts claim that if a satellite is launched at the equator, where the Earth’s rotation is the fastest, the fuel usage can be reduced by 5 percent.

Weather conditions

Imagine launching a rocket on a stormy day doesn’t seem possible, does it? The sites require a stable climate with low temperature fluctuations（波动）. If the local climate varies dramatically, it is more difficult for scientists to monitor the spacecraft and perform experiments. A stable climate could also reduce variations of experiments since the weather has little effect on the tests. For example. Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center has perfect weather conditions. Being dry and warm, the site is suitable for launches nearly 300 days a year.

Transportation factors

An ideal launch site should be located in a large space with a small population. But the launch site cannot be located in the middle of nowhere. Launch activities require a big amount of material. Therefore, the site needs to be close enough to transportation infrastructure, such as ports, rails and roads. Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site was constructed near coastal ports which allows access to transportation.

21. According to the text, where is the most fuel-efficient place for launching satellites?（    ）

A. Xiangshan Satellite Launch Center.

B.Wenchang Satellite Launch Site.

C.Xichang Satellite Launch Center.

D. Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center.

22. What makes the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center an ideal place for launching satellites?（    ）

A. It lies at a relatively low latitude.

B. It is wet and warm throughout the year.

C. There are clear temperature fluctuations day and night.

D. The local climate is nearly steady all year round.

23. Why was Wenchang chosen as a Spacecraft Launch Site?（    ）

A. It enjoys access to marine transportation.

B. It is near many research centers.

C. It can provide labor and natural resources.

D. It is located in the middle of nowhere.

B

French writer Annie Ernaux won the 2022 Nobel Prize in literature on Oct 6. She is the first French female to win the prize. In the words of the Nobel committee, Ernaux was given the award for the courage and sharp insight of her writing.

Having spent over five decades as a writer, the 82-year-old winner has published more than 20 books to her name, including Cleaned Out, Shame, a 2008 memoir called The Years and A Girl’s Story. Rather than consider herself a writer of fiction, Ernaux has used the term “an ethnologist（民族学家）of herself” to describe herself.

Born in 1940 in a rural village in Normandy, France, Ernaux grew up in a working-class environment as her parents ran a combined grocery store and cafe. She worked as a teacher before becoming a full-time writer.

According to CNN her “upbringing and experiences navigating adolescence and adulthood” inspire many of her works. For example the book Shame explores the theme of childhood trauma while A Girl’s Story follows a young woman’s coming of age in the 1950s.

Though the matters Ernaux describes in her books are serious and even sometimes heavy, they are always written in plain language. Ernaux described her style as “flat writing” through which she aims to tell her stories objectively, “unshaped by florid description or overwhelming emotions.” noted Fox News.

“She writes about things that no one else writes about, for instance her jealousy, her experiences as an abandoned lover and so forth, I mean, really hard experiences,” Anders Olsson, chairman of the Nobel Committee for Literature said after the award announcement in Stockholm. He went on to say, “She gives words for these experiences that are very simple and striking. They are short books, but they are really moving”.

24. What can we learn about Annie Ernaux from the text?（    ）

A. She is the first French person to win the Nobel Prize.

B. The Nobel committee described her as “an ethnologist of herself”.

C. She was awarded for the bravery and observations shown in her writing.

D. She started working as a full-time writer in 1974.

25. Where did she get inspiration for her works?（    ）

A. Her students’ lives.                      B. The stories of guests to her cafe.

C. The history of her hometown.              D. Her personal experiences.

26. Which of the following best describes Ernaux's writing style?（    ）

A. Objective and easy to understand.           B. Plain and relaxing.

C. Descriptive and serious.                   D. Emotional and touching.

27. Why is Annie Ernaux different from other writers, according to Anders Olsson?（    ）

A. She shares painful feelings through her writing.

B. She suffered a lot of hardships.

C. Her works are about unexplored subjects.

D. Her works are short and moving.

C

New research led by the University of Colorado Boulder has found the engineering secrets behind what makes fish fins（鱼鳍） so strong yet flexible. The team’s findings could one day lead to new designs for airplane wings that change their shape with the push of a button.

Francois Barthelat, senior author of the study, noted that fins can “do wonders” even though they don’t contain a single muscle. “A fin is made of many ‘rays’, ” said Barthelat. “Each of those rays can be controlled individually just like your fingers, but there are 20 or 30 rays in each fin.”

Barthelat and his colleagues used a range of approaches, including computer simulations and 3D-printed materials, to dive deep into the secrets of these structures. They reported that the key to fish fins may lie in their unique design. Each ray in a fin is made up of multiple segments（段）of a hard material that lie on top of much softer collagen（胶原）, making rays the perfect balance between flexibility and strength.

He and his team decided to use computer simulations to examine the mechanical functions of fins. They discovered that those segments can make all the difference.

“Pretend for a moment,” Barthelat explained, “that fish fins are entirely made up of collagen. They could bend easily, but wouldn’t give fish much pulling force in the water. Rays made up of solid materials would have the opposite problem—they’d be too hard.”

The researchers further tested the theory by using a 3-D printer to produce model fish fins made from plastic, some with hinges（铰链）built in and some without. The team found that the segmented design provided better combinations of strength and flexibility.

“We like to pick up where the biologists and zoologists have left off, using our background in the mechanics of materials to further our understanding of the amazing characteristics of the natural world,” Barthelat said.

28. Which of the following can describe the new research according to the first paragraph?（    ）

A. Beneficial         B. Traditional.         C. Typical.         D. Commercial.

29. Why are fingers mentioned in paragraph 2?（    ）

A. To show the number of rays in a fish fin.

B. To show rays of fish fins can work individually.

C. To show the shape of rays in fish fins.

D. To show rays of fish fins can do

30. What has an important effect on the mechanical functions of fish fins?（    ）

A. The amount of collagen.

B. The combination of hard materials and collagen.

C. The water fish live in.

D. The muscle in fish fins.

31. What may happen if fish fins are completely made of collagen according to the text?（    ）

A. Fish can’t bend.                     B. Fish can’t live in the water.

C. Fish can’t keep balance.               D. Fish can’t swim fast.

D

Making a transition away from fossil fuels and towards low-carbon energy is the only way to keep our planet safe and habitable for future generations. That transition has thankfully begun, but it has a vast distance to go. And the kinds of changes that are needed cost money. Development of new technology has always required investment. 

This applies to the generation of renewable energy, and to the countless lifestyle changes that follow from the shift away from coal, oil and gas. Electric cars and other transport are one example. Packaging to replace plastic is another. Resources are also required to protect societies from the harms caused by the global heating that has already happened, and to help them adjust to altered conditions. 

A new report presented at the Cop27 UN climate summit says that about $2tn (£1.75tn) a year will be needed by 2030 if developing countries are to make the necessary changes. One of the authors, Nicholas Stern, pointed to a crucial role for the World Bank as well as western governments in redirecting finance and reducing the cost of capital for investors (banks typically charge higher interest on investments in poor countries, due to predicted risks).

The promise made in 2009 of $100bn worth of climate finance annually from rich countries to poorer ones has been broken. But developing countries have succeeded in getting loss and damage on to the formal Cop agenda（议程） for the first time. So far, five European countries have agreed to contribute to a fund to help weak countries manage global heating’s destructive effects. These commitments are welcome, but insufficient. 

Carbon emissions, and the dangerously warming planet they have led to, are the byproduct of the way that the rich world developed. Since industrialisation, we have burned our way to wealth. Thankfully, we now know that there are alternatives to this destructive pattern. Renewable energy, along with social change aimed at limiting some forms of consumption, is at the heart of this prospectus（会议章程）.

32. What does the underlined word “This” refer to in paragraph 2? （    ）       

A. Transition                           B. Investment

C. New technology                      D. Low-carbon energy

33. How does the author feel about what the five European countries have done?（    ）

A. Disapproving     B. Suspicious      C. Unconcerned      D. Unsatisfactory

34. According to the passage, how can we effectively fulfill carbon emissions reduction?（    ）

A. By limiting our consumption.            B. By developing the byproducts.

C.By changing the destructive pattern.       D. By holding the Cop27 UN climate Summit.

35. Which can be the best title for the text?（    ）

A. A green transition requires funding.

B.The rich world must do more in the transition.

C.Rich countries are to blame for carbon emissions.

D.Development of new technology is urgently needed.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Mindful eating focuses on wellness and how we eat, not what we eat.   36   Generally speaking, mindful eaters tend to eat slower and more deliberately, avoiding distractions while eating, listening to their bodies’ hunger and fullness cues, eating foods that are both pleasing and nutrient, and being aware of and acknowledging their response to foods.

   37   We find ourselves eating in the car commuting to work, at the desk in front of a computer screen, or parked on the couch watching TV. We eat mindlessly, wolfing food down regardless of whether we’re still hungry or not. In fact, we often eat for reasons other than hunger—to satisfy emotional needs, to relieve stress, or cope with unpleasant emotions such as sadness, anxiety, loneliness, or boredom.   38               

 Mindful eating isn’t about being perfect, always eating the right things, or never allowing yourself to eat on-the-go again.   39   Or rather, it’s about focusing all your senses and being present as you shop for, cook, serve, and eat your food.

 By paying close attention to how you feel as you eat—the texture and tastes of each mouthful, your body’s hunger and fullness signals, how different foods affect your energy and mood—you can learn to enjoy both your food and the experience of eating. Being mindful of the food you eat can promote better digestion, keep you full with less food, and influence wiser choices about what you eat in the future.   40 

A. We eat when our body tells us to.

B. Know your body’s personal hunger signals.

C. Our busy daily lives often make mealtimes rushed affairs.

D. Mindful eating is opposite this kind of unhealthy “mindless” eating.

E. Neither is it about setting strict rules for how many calories you absorb.

F. It involves paying attention to what we are thinking and feeling when we eat.

G. It can also help you free yourself from unhealthy habits around food and diet.
