This is Scientific America's 60-Second Science. I am Christopher Intagliata.
The Apollo missions brought back 842 pounds of rock and soil from the moon, that's nearly 2200 different samples. But the most interesting one, according to a scientist Meenakshi Wadhwa, is a sample named "Apollo 1-0-0-8-5collected by Neil Armstrong on Apollo 11.
“He was about to step back into the lunar module(登月舱) when he turned around and saw there were little spaces in the rock box. He knew that geologists on earth would be just so excited to study these materials, so he just scooped up nine scoops(勺) of soil and put it into the box." Wadhwa explained.
It was one of the most well studied samples of the Apollo missions. And a geologist named John Wood noticed white flecks(微粒) of rock in the soil, which inspired him to dig deeper into the moon's ancient past.
“This was quite a leap of imagination — he proposed that the whole of the moon had been almost covered with a magma(岩浆) ocean nearly 4.5 billion years ago. This was a revolutionary idea at the time, because people had thought the moon had formed cold, so it completely changed our idea how the moon formed.”
But Wadhwa has a more personal reason to appreciate this sample. She met her husband Scott Parazynski also because of this rock sample. Scott, a mountaineer at that time, wanted to climbMount Everestwith a moon rock while Wadhwa was the chairman of the NASA committee that gives access to the samples for scientific purposes.
Neil Armstrong's last-minute scoop of moon dust brought two people together here on Earth and upturned our understanding of how the moon — and the Earth itself-got here.
Thank you for listening for Scientific American's 60-Second Science.
4. It can be learned from Paragraph 3 that ________ .
A. Neil Armstrong was excited to find the soil
B. the spaceship was about to land on the moon
C. Sample "Apollo1-008-5" was collected at the last minute

In 2015, a man named Nigel Richards memorized 386, 000 words in the entireFrench Scrabble Dictionaryin just nine weeks. However, he does not speak French. Richards’ impressive feat is a useful example to show how artificial intelligence works — real AI. Both of Richard and AI take in massive amounts of data to achieve goals with unlimited memory and superman accuracy in a certain field.
The potential applications for AI are extremely exciting. Because AI canoutperformhumans at routine tasks — provided the task is in one field with a lot of data — it is technically capable of replacing hundreds of millions of white and blue collar jobs in the next 15 years or so.
But not every job will be replaced by AI. In fact, four types of jobs are not at risk at all. First, there are creative jobs. AI needs to be given a goal to optimize. It cannot invent, like scientists, novelists and artists can. Second, the complex, strategic jobs — executives, diplomats, economists — go well beyond the AI limitation of single-field and Big Data. Then there are the as-yet-unknown jobs that will be created by AI.
Are you worried that these three types of jobs won’t employ as many people as AI will replace? Not to worry, as the fourth type is much larger: jobs where emotions are needed, such as teachers, nannies and doctors. These jobs require compassion, trust and sympathy — which AI does not have. And even if AI tried to fake it, nobody would want a robot telling them they have cancer, or a robot to babysit their children.
So there will still be jobs in the age of AI. The key then must be retraining the workforce so people can do them. This must be the responsibility not just of the government, which can provide funds, but also of corporations and those who benefit most.
8. What is the main purpose of paragraph 1?
A. To introduce the topic.
B. To mention Nigel’s feat.
C. To stress the importance of good memory.
D. To suggest humans go beyond AI in memory.
9. Which of the following best explains “outperform” underlined in paragraph 2?
A. Be superior to
B. Be equal to
C. Be similar to
D. Be related to
10. Which of the following jobs is the most likely to be replaced?
A. The writer.
B. The shop assistant.
C. The babysitter.
D. The psychologist.
11. What does the text suggest people do about job replacement of AI?
A. Limit the application of AI to a certain degree.
B. Get more support from the government.
C. Apply for the donation from companies.
D. Upgrade themselves all the time.
D
Until quarantine (隔离期) ends, we are left picturing what sport we might do: working out at the gym, playing on a competitive sports team, swimming, biking, or rock climbing. However, we don’t often think of martial arts as possible activities; instead, we rule it out because we think it’s dangerous, uncommon, and even, impossible. Martial arts aren’t considered a sport, right?
Well, here’s some good news: you’re wrong! Martial arts aren’t much more common than people think, and you can start learning at any age. Practicing martial arts is a great way to keep in shape, both physically and mentally. They’re much less boring and much lessarduoussport than they’re usually described as in movies, so do not worry that they need a lot of effort.
Martial arts generally require you to focus on the position and movement of every one of your legs and arms, sometimes even your breathing too. Think about it: when you leave the gym, your mental state has improved and you are much calmer. This is because you’ve only paid attention to one activity. It is a great way to clear your head. Andpracticing it can help you learn to stay more focused, which is the greatest advantage of martial arts training.
Martial arts also improve your coordination (协调性), and greatly improve your posture (姿势). I have personally seen students go from slouching (没精打采) to walking tall with their shoulders back in just a couple of
months.
There are many styles and countless kinds of martial arts. Whichever one you like better, know that all of them are good choices.
12. What can we know about martial arts from the first two paragraphs?
A. They often have people hurt.
B. They are difficult to practice.
C. People have a wrong view on it.
D. People practice them more often.
13. What does the underlined word “arduous” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Interesting.
B. Difficult.
C. Friendly.
D. Exciting.
14. What is the biggest benefit of practicing martial arts?
A. Adjusting the breath.
B. Enjoying one’s free time.
C. Correcting the movement.
D. Keeping one’s attention.
15. What does the writer think of martial arts?
A. They are notsports.
B. They attracted many teenagers.
C. They are beneficial and helpful.
D. They were invented to protect others.

Dear Peter,
How is it going? Learning from your last E-mail what you are doing research into Chinese students doing housework, so I’m writing to tell you something about myself.
Busy as I am with my schoolwork as a senior three student, I still try to do as many housework as I can. During workday, I keep my room tidy and clean, make it comfortable to live in. I also take out the rubbish every morning when I leave school. On weekends, I wash my clothes and cook food.
In my opinion, it is high necessary for senior three students to do housework. After all, it was our responsibility to share housework as a family member. Besides, doing housework provide a chance to relieve us from the pressure of study.
I hope it can be helpful to my research.
Sincerely,
Lihua.第二节书面表达（满分25分）
52.阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

School mornings were always busy. The first sentence I usually heard was. "It's time to rise and shine!" It was
my mother's loudest voice. and there was no way I could ignore it or hide from it.
"Okay, Mom. I am getting up and dressed!" When I got up. Mon's loudest voice rose again as she announced, " Breakfast is ready!" By then, the house was filled with the good smell of breakfast and I couldn't help getting to the kitchen fast enough.
“Thanks, Mom! This is my favorite,” I said, enjoying the dishes.
Mom replied, “You are welcome, my dear. Now grab your lunch bag and books. The school bus will be here any minute!" My sisters and I ran out to the bus stop as we grabbed our lunch bags that contained a sandwich, fruit and dessert.
Then one day, to my surprise, there was no dessert in my lunch bag. I looked through every part of my lunch bag, and even turned it upside down. My dessert just wasn't there. What could have happened to it? Did Mom forget to make it? “Well," I thought, "it's only one time, so it's no big deal." But for the next several days, my lunch bag contained no dessert. So one day as soon as I got home from school, I asked Mom if she forgot to put a dessert in my lunch bag.
Mom was surprised and responded, “Why? I have been including a dessert in your lunch bag every day. If you are not getting them, then who is?"
Soon when I reviewed my activities and schedules in school, I found Carl-the terror of the third grade. No one liked him in his class because he was rough, often fighting with other boys. Now even worse-he was a thief. "He must be punished," I said angrily. But my Mom seemed to be not angry at all.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

After knowing everything about Carl, my Mom told me her way to solve this problem.
