The Wentian space lab is expected to advance (发展) space science, technology and research. Wentian lab module (问天实验舱) will serve as a space life science research lab. And it will make use of the micro-gravity (微重力) in space to do many experiments that would be impossible on the ground. It will also be used for some basic researches on humankind's journey from Earth into the space.

The world’s first space station was launched (发射) in 1971 and the International Space Station has scientists to do experiments there. These experiments were related to life science research in space, including research on treatment for many diseases as well as the effects on the human body of living in space.

There was a time when China had few chances to do such research, but now China can. With a weight of 23 tons and a length of 17. 9 meters, Wentian is the world's longest spacecraft. Besides, Wentian provides one more exit, one more kitchen, as well as three sleeping zones for the astronauts. So they have enough space for living and working.

A review at the past 10 years will find a clear path for China's space industry. The Shenzhou series of spaceships have progressed from IX to XIV. And the space station is finally coming into service. The Chinese are adding more footprints in space, for the common good.

On Monday, the Shenzhou XIV had reportedly already entered the Wentian module. It heralds the start of a series of experiments that astronauts are to carry out in space. They will also talk with school children by video. It is hoped that they will encourage more students to carry forward China's space studies in the future.

29. How is the space station research in China？

A. More young people like it.   B. Students enjoy joining it.

C. It is helpful to everyday life.   D. It has made much progress.

C. China always take the lead in the development of space studies.

D. The astronauts don't have enough living space because Wentian is less than 20 metres long.

Anyone who walked into a restaurant knows that the QR code (二维码) is a contact-less (无接触) way to look at a menu. But the Better Business Bureau (BBB) is warning customers that they need to be extra careful if they're sent a digitally readable square known as a QR code.

One victim told the BBB that they received a cheating letter about student loan (贷款). It contained a QR code that seemed to link to the official Studentaid.gov website. The QR code also helped the letter, which was part of a cheating, seem official.

As the QR codes have become more commonly used, the BBB notes that it has received reports of scammers (骗子) using the system to their advantage across the United States. “This is much like a phishing scam (钓鱼式欺诈),” Laura, director of marketing for Eastern Michigan, said. “Just like clicking links, you have to be careful what website you're opening on your smartphone. If you've never heard of the organization or the website where the QR code is supposed to go to, that's a huge red flag.” She said the use of the QR code by scammers offers another way to steal personal information or get you to download malware. (恶意软件) onto your smartphone.

The scammers can now send messages to one or all people in a user's address book, or even send a payment to where it cannot be recovered, according to the U.S. Army Major Cybercrime Unit. “In some scams, the QR code takes you to a phishing website, where you are required to enter your personal information for scammers to steal,” the BBB warned. “Other times, scammers use QR codes to payment apps or follow a bad social media account.”

Scams can be different, but the scammers want you to scan the code right away. What you need to do, though, is to step back and make sure any information is legitimate (合法的) before you scan the code. Phone the friend or coworker directly to see what they might have sent, and make sure the sender wasn't hacked.

Adam Levin, an expert, says it's a good rule of thumb to turn your smartphone off and restart it regularly. “Many forms of malware that live in your smartphone, such as spyware, depend on the device never being turned off.” Levin said.

33. What does the writer want to tell us in the first two paragraphs?

A. The QR code is a contact-less way to look at a menu.

B. The QR codes can help some letters appear official.

C. The QR codes now open new doors for scammers.

D. The QR code is a new way of payments.

34. The “red flag” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.

A. warning  B. loss  C. surprise  D. mistake

35. The writer probably agrees that ________.

A. there are some hidden dangers in QR codes

B. we must keep our smartphones off at night

C. the QR codes have led to phishing scamming

D. we should trust every QR code from our friends

36. What is the writer's purpose in writing this passage?

A. To tell us not to download malware.

B. To tell us to keep away from smartphones.

C. To tell us to remember to restart our smartphones regularly.

D. To tell us to be careful of what we are scanning with smartphones.

四、还原信息（共4小题；每小题1.5分，满分6分）

阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

They look like plants, but they have no leaves or flowers. A large part of them grow underground. They can help us slow down climate (气候) change. Can you guess what they are? Here is the answer——fungi (菌类)

37. ____________But we know little about their roles in fighting against climate change. Underground fungi networks are considered a public good for all over the world. Thanks to them, about 75 percent of all carbon (碳) on Earth is stored in soils.

38. ____________In the past few years, humans have done something bad to them at an amazing speed. Modern industries have brought harmful influences on living things in soils. As people cut down trees for wood, they reduce the kind of underground fungi communities by about 75 percent.

The harm to fungi networks can lead to many serious problems. 39. ____________You may think that just 0. 1% of the carbon stored in Europe's soils is not worth worrying. However, this is the emission (排放物) of 100 million cars in a year. Moreover, many animals and trees depend on certain kinds of fungi.

Fungi arc often very small and they grow silently. 40. ____________However, they are important “environmental engineers”. We should try to learn more about them. And we must take action to protect them.
