文章主要介绍了中国三名宇航员在太空生活了约六个月，完成了20多项科研任务，他们正在着手准备返航工作。

13. Three astronauts stationed in China’s Tiangong space station are preparing for their return trip in the middle of April, packing up personal items, experimental products and other materials, putting equipment into place and exercising to prepare their bodies for Earth’s gravity.
The astronauts, Zhai Zhigang, Wang Y aping and Y e Guangfu, have to tidy up a large number of materials, including goods on the Tianzhou 3cargo spacecraft, said Zhong Weiwei, an associate researcher at the China Astronaut Research and Training Center.
Living in space about six months, a record in China’s history, they have completed more than 20 scientific tasks and will bring back samples with them, according to Zhong.
He said the astronauts have to put all equipment in place since there will be a gap of more than one month before the astronauts of ShenzhouⅩⅣenter the space station.
The physical conditions and psychological states of the three astronauts are better than expected, meeting the requirements for a return trip, said the associate researcher from the center’s aerospace medical engineering office.
Based on their in-orbit physical examinations and data, experts have adjusted exercise plans for them to keep fitness in order to ensure a safe landing, Zhong said.
The Shenzhou ⅩⅢ mission was launched on Oct 16 by a Long March 2F carrier rocket that blasted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwestern China’s Gobi Desert, with the crew soon entering the Tiangong station.
Besides their tasks, they have also delivered two live lectures from the space station, showing the students their living and working areas at the Tianhe core module and several scientific experiments under zero-gravity conditions and answering real-time questions from students.1.

文章介绍了人造池塘对于气候的影响。

14. As Earth’s climate has been warming, the risk of urban flooding has grown, too. Building ponds to collect rainwater can limit that flooding. But in some places, those ponds may actually add to global warming by releasing greenhouse gases into the air. That’s the finding of a new study.
Earth’s changing water cycle has made many cities and their suburbs wetter. These urban areas have a limited ability to soak up rainwater. Floods hit roads, concrete parking lots, buildings and other features. Ponds can collect the water that runs off. But where nature hasn’t provided enough ponds, cities have been building them. Florida alone has built about 76,000 such stormwater ponds. Many other areas also rely heavily on these ponds for flood control, notes Audrey Goeckner. She’s a graduate student at the University of Florida in Gainesville and lead author of the new study.
Recently, her team compared the uptake and later release of carbon-based gases at five stormwater ponds. All were in Manatee County, Fla. That’s on the state’s central west coast. Along with a lab technician, Goeckner collected samples from the bottoms of the ponds. The samples had a layer of muck (淤泥) above sandy material. Older ponds had deeper layers of muck. Back at the lab, the research team measured the carbon-based compounds in the samples.
In general, older ponds released less of these carbon-based chemicals into the air than younger ponds did. At the same time, “the rate that older ponds were storing carbon in the sediment (沉积物) increased,” Goeckner says. In contrast, younger ponds seem to emit (排放) more carbon than they stored away.
“It’s just really important to take into account how these human-made ecosystems are playing a part in the environment,” she concludes. Some ponds mostly store carbon, it seems. Others mostly release it into the air. Her team shared its findings on March 9 in Communications Earth & Environment.
1. What is the finding of the new research?
A．Earth’s climate is warming.
B．Urban flooding is growing.
C．Ponds built by humans can collect rainwater.
D．Man-made ponds may lead to global warming.
2. What does the underlined phrase “soak up” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Absorb.B．Prevent.C．Decrease.D．Increase.
3. What result have the researchers found?
A．Older ponds store less carbon.B．Younger ponds cause less harm.
C．Older ponds cause less harm.D．Younger ponds store more carbon.
4. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Muck and Sediment B．Ponds and Water Cycle
C．Ponds and Climate D．Rainwater and Environment

文章讲述了利克镇勇士女子足球队在詹姆斯·亨利教练的带领下，夯实基础技能，共同努力，成为了连胜八场的明星足球队的故事。

15. Leek Town Warriors was a girls’ football team Which used to get routinely defeated every time they turned out, until James Henry stepped in two years ago. He took the job when the previous coach quit and transformed the team’s fortunes.With the help of his assistant Andy Austin, they
started training hard in April 2020.
Some players had never kicked a football before joining the team, so training them took hours of hard work and patience. After a good few weeks, they got down to training and really started to take it in what the coach wanted. “I insist on doing the basic stuff well and letting the girls decide what they feel they need to work on.” James said.
James’ first season was ruined by the pandemic, which forced him and Andy to get creative with training. They organized team-building activities with the girls to help them bond on and off the field. James then spent the sessions they could hold focusing on the basics of football like passing and shooting, bringing the girls up to a good standard.
James watched the girls develop over the course of last year, and in September they played their first match of the new season. They won the game, and since then went on an unbeaten run of eight games. The team’s star player, 15-year-old Chelsea, has also impressed the audience individually,becoming the top scorer in the league with incredible 30 goals.
James said, “All the effort that the girls, us coaches and parents have put in to get this point has been enormous. If I hadn’t had the Support of Andy helping me every week, this would have been an impossible task. So I’m incredibly grateful to have him on side. All we want is to bring more girls into the game and show that it’s not all about having the best players; it’s about hard work and giving everyone the chance to play.”
1. Why did James Henry take over the soccer team?
A．Because he wanted to try his fortune.
B．Because he wanted to turn things around.
C．Because the previous coach recommended him.
D．Because he hoped to fulfill his champion dream.
2. What did James do to change the situation?
A．Pick experienced players.
B．Develop players’ patience.
C．Lay stress on basic skills.
D．Make decisions for the girls.
3. What did the team achieve after James was in charge?
A．They won the league championship.
B．They stood out in James’ first season.
C．They scored 30 goals in the season.
D．They won regularly and secured promotion.
4. What can we learn from the story?

16. Many animals move from one place to another at certain times of the year. This annual movement is called migration. They migrate to find food, seek a partner, or in search of warmer weather. One of the most wonderful migrations in nature is that of the North American monarch butterfly.
Every autumn, millions of these beautiful insects with fine black and orange wings begin a long and difficult journey. Somehow they manage to travel around 4, 000 kilometers south and find their way to California or Mexico. However, until recently no one knew how they did this.
A team of scientists led by Professor Eli Shlizerman at the University of Washington has now found the answer. They have found out that the monarch is able to tell the time of day. It uses its eyes to measure the position of the sun. These two pieces of information—the time of day and the point where the sun is in the sky—allow the butterfly to determine the way to go. Eventually, it manages to reach the places where it will spend the winter.
The solution to the mystery of the monarch’s amazing ability comes at a time when it is in serious trouble. Its population has crashed by as much as 90 per cent in the last few years. Sadly, human activity is the main reason why the number of monarch butterflies is falling. In many of the places where the butterfly can be found, people are destroying the natural environment. They cut down trees and use chemicals that kill the plants that monarch caterpillars eat.
The research on the monarch’s behavior has however led to a greater awareness of this creature. People have been working together to record its migration and make sure that there are enough plants for it to feed on. If this works, there may come a time when the number of monarch butterflies increases once again. The more we know about this lovely creature, the greater the chance it will survive and keep its place in the natural world for a
long time to come.
1. Which is not the purpose of animals’ migration according to the text?
A．To search for food.B．To look for a partner.
C．To breed young babies.D．To stay away from cold weather.
2. What mainly caused the decrease in the number of the monarch butterflies?
A．Weather changes.B．Human activities.
C．Trees being cut down.D．The long migration every year.
3. What can we know from the text?
A．All the animals migrate at fixed times of the year.
B．The monarch has the ability to identify the time of day.
C．The population of the monarch is decreasing rapidly every year.
D．No one knows how the monarch butterflies make their way to their destinations.
4. What does the last paragraph imply about the research?
A．It is quite encouraging.B．it is fairly complex.
C．It is very unacceptable.D．It is rather useless.
七、阅读理解
17. As long as you live, you have an opportunity to change and pursue your life’s purpose. When your purpose is to help others, you seek to
focus on what you want to create rather than always focus on problems. This is called generativity — a concern for people besides self and family.
1 Studies suggest that helping others can increase your happiness and improve your health.
When you’re generative, you don’t let the little ups and downs of life get to you. 2 According to psychologist Krauss Whitbourne, putting others before yourself is a hidden superpower. And the most generative people have better long-term well-being than people who focus purely on their own happiness.
According to a 2007 AmeriCorps study, volunteering provides not just social benefits, but individual health benefits as well. 3 Those who volunteer have lower death rates, greater functional ability, and lower rates of depression later in life than those who do not volunteer.
Perhaps helping others rather than focusing purely on our own well-being benefits us because the goal of volunteering may be closer to our hearts and our values than the job we have in the everyday world. 4 Benefiting from a sense of purpose can come from supporting your family and friends or mentoring someone. To gain the benefits of helping others, you don’t need to save the world, just improve your little corner of it.
5 Without it, you can’t be wholly satisfied or at peace. Y our life is a corner of the universe, and by improving that corner through
everything you touch, you change everything.
A．The benefits of generativity are wide-reaching.
B．You don’t have to do something huge to be of service.
C．It’s never too late to do what you can to make others happy.
D．Instead, you focus on something higher and more meaningful.
E．There is a strong relationship between volunteering and health.
F．Generativity is part of feeling fully yourself and living a full life.
G．When you help others, you seek to focus on what you want to create.
