The capital of Egypt is Cairo. That is a really great city. It is the largest city in Africa. If you visit that city, you will find a very modern place with many cars, businesses, schools and homes.About 82 million people live in Egypt. They have a rich history. Long ago, Egyptians made it the greatest place in the world. They built pyramids. These very smart people invented ways to farm.Long ago, Egyptians were wonderful leaders who built great buildings and set up schools. They invented a special way of writing that was called hieroglyphics（象形文字）. They looked like pictures instead of alphabet letters. You will still see hieroglyphics in Egypt today. But they are not used to read and write. They are a part of history.Egypt has a long history. It has been a leader for a long time. If you read Egypt's history, you will know how great this country has been.Today most Egyptians live near the banks of the Nile River. This is where the only good land to farm. It's a great place to live in. There are other parts that are difficult to live—they are deserts. So not many people live there. About half of Egypt's residents（当地人）live in cities. Those big cities are in the area of the Nile River. If you go to Cairo, the biggest city, you will find millions of people.Egypt is a great county. It has a wonderful history.

You don't have a science degree but most astronauts do. Most of them are pilots too. Life in a spaceship is hard so you must have a healthy body and mind. You need to be easy-going, patient, and helpful to spend so much time in a small space with other people.What's the training like?People have to train for a year to learn how to stay healthy and safe. They practice space walking and living in zero gravity. They train in difficult conditions to learn how to solve problems and to work in a team. Everyday tasks like eating, washing and sleeping can be difficult on a spaceship. There is no running water so you have to wash with wet tissues; it's hard to enjoy the dry food that astronauts have to eat. And to sleep you must cover your eyes because the sun rises every 90 minutes on the International Space Station. You also have to tie yourself to something so you don't fly away!What health problems do astronauts have?Life in zero gravity causes changes to our bodies. Bones and muscles（肌肉）become thin and weak so you must do a lot of exercise in space to stay fit and to help the heart move blood around your body. Astronauts often get backaches because you grow in space—up to 8 centimeters! It's also common to have headaches and to feel sick,especially at the beginning. You must have vitamins to take the place of fresh fruit and vegetables. But you don't have to put on sun cream because space suits protect your skin.Are you still interested?So now you know. If you want to go to space, study hard, learn to fly and take care of your body and mind. 32．What does the writer think of the life in a spaceship?A．Interesting.B．Boring.C．Useful.D．Hard.33．What's the Chinese meaning of the underlined word "tissues"?A．衣服B．纸巾C．抹布D．食物34．Which one is true according to the passage?A．People have to train for two years to learn how to stay healthy and safe.B．Astronauts have to tie themselves to something in order not to fly away.C．Astronauts can't grow in space.D．You must put on sun cream in a spaceship.35．What is the passage mainly about?A．What we need to know to become an astronaut.B．Why young people are interested in space trips.C．What problems astronauts must solve in space.D．Why we need to train hard before a space trip.阅读理解Shu embroidery（蜀绣）is one of the most famous embroidery styles in China. It's well-known for its strong expression and smooth needlework.The characteristics are greatly influenced by geographical environment, customs and cultures. As we all know, people in Sichuan Province enjoy a slow lifestyle, so when embroidering, they are usually patient and willing to spend time on pursuing the form's intricacy（复杂精致）and elegance （优雅）. This could be the reason why Shu embroidery was listed as a national-level intangible cultural heritage（非物质文化遗产）in 2006.Making beautiful Shu embroidery products is never easy. It needs super workmanship（卓越工艺）.Meng Dezhi, 59, was born to a family of embroiderers. She was one of the most talented employees at the Chengdu Shu embroidery factory. The long and repetitive nature of the process often challenges her. Even for an experienced master like Meng, finishing a piece needs several days or even a few months. And in winter, when her hands and feet are freezing, things become even more difficult, but her love for the work has encouraged Meng to continue."These experiences may sometimes discourage me, but the love for Shu embroidery always gives me courage tocontinue, "said Meng. Meng has also popularized the culture of Shu embroidery when the tradition was at the risk of fading（衰落）. Many cheap products are made by modern machines. In 2005, the factory where Meng worked was forced to close. To make a living and pass along the traditional technique, Meng rented a small space of 10 square meters to teach Shu embroidery skills."In the early days, I set up the company just for living, but now I really feel that I have the responsibility to pass on Shu embroidery skills to young people, to let it run from generation to generation, "she told China Daily. 36．Why is Shu embroidery more special than other types of embroidery?A．Because it is characterized by intricacy and elegance.B．Because it changes local people's lifestyles.C．Because it is made by modern machines.D．Because it mainly includes pictures of flowers.37．What are the characteristics of Shu Embroidery?①strong expression ②smooth needlework ③intricacy④eleganceA．①②③B．①②④C．①③④D．①②③④38．Which mind map shows the right structure of the passage?A．B．C．D．39．What's the best title of the passage?A．Embroidery.B．Shu Embroidery.C．The introduction of Embroidery.D．The history of Shu Embroidery.（5分）补全对话.A: Good morning. 40．B: I'd like to buy a T-shirt for my son.A: Please follow me. 41．B: This one is OK. How many kinds of colors do you have?A: We have four kinds of colors. They are red, white, black and yellow. 42．B: My son likes red best. He wears Size M.A: How about this one?B: The color and the size are OK. 43．A: 200 yuan.B: 44．A: At least 180 yuan.B: OK. I'll take it. Thanks a lot.A: You're welcome.（共9分）任务型阅读On June 29th, 2021, Zhang Guimei was awarded the highest honor of CPC—the July 1#Medal in the Great Hall of the People.

My dad chose a 16-milesection of the road for us to ride. Part of it included an old tunnel (隧道) called West Hill. This old tunnel is over a mile long!To prepare, we checked our tires (轮胎) and bike lights. My mom made us some food. She also gave us fruit and plenty of water. In the morning, we put our bikes into the car and set off.After a two-hour drive, we reached the road. It was a cool afternoon in early fall. But we were both wet and tired because our trip started with a long uphill climb! As we reached the West Hill Tunnel, I felt nervous as it was very dark inside! But my dad encouraged me. He said he would be right beside me. He reminded me to stay careful and keep my light on!When we entered the tunnel, the sound of our bikes echoed through the darkness. I turned on my flashlight and saw walls covered by drawings. The air smelled like wet mud (泥). And I feltlike I was being watched! I was pretty scared, but paying attention to following my dad helped me relax. After riding half-way through, I could see light coming from the other end of the tunnel. That gave me courage to keep going. And I was so happy to ride out into the bright afternoon!Whenever I go through hardships in life, I remember this trip. It reminds me that hope is always ahead of me. It turns on the light of hope in my heart, and it gives me courage to keep riding through life's dark tunnels.19．How did the writer and his father go through the tunnel?A．On foot.B．By bike.C．By bus.D．By car.20．Why did the writer feel nervous when he reached the tunnel?A．Because the tunnel was too long.B．Because the tunnel was too dark.C．The drawing on the walls in the tunnel.D．The light from the other end of the tunnel.21．What gave the writer courage to keep going in the tunnel?A．The sound of their bikes in the tunnel.B．The smell of the wet mud in the tunnel.C．The drawing on the walls in the tunnel.D．The light from the other end of the tunnel.22．Which is the right order about the changes of the writer's feelings?a.

According to a new survey by the National Sleep Foundation, 51% of kids aged 10 to 18 go to bed at 10 p. m. or later on school nights, even though they have to get up early. Last year the Foundation reported that nearly60% of 7- to 12-year-olds said they felt tired during the day, and 15% said they had fallen asleep at school.How much sleep you need depends a lot on your age. Babies need a lot of rest: most of them sleep about 18 hours a day! Adults need about eight hours. For most school-age children, ten hours is needed. But the new National Sleep Foundation survey found that 35% of 10- tol2-year-olds get only seven or eight hours. And guess what almost half of the surveyed kids said they do before bedtime? Watch TV."More children are going to bed with TVs on, and there are more chances to stay awake, with more homework, the Internet and the phone," says Dr Mary Carskadon, a sleep researcher at Brown University Medical School. She says these activities at bedtime can get kids all excited and make it hard for them to calm down and sleep. Other experts say part of the problem is chemical. Changing levels of body chemicals called hormones (荷尔蒙) not only make teenagers' bodies develop adult characteristics, but also make it hard for teenagers to fall asleep before 11 p. m. Because sleepiness is such a problem for teenagers, some school districts have decided to start high school classes later than they used to. Three years ago, schools in Edina, Minnesota. changed the start time from 7:25 a. m. to 8:30 a. m. Students, parents and teachers are pleased with the result.23．What is the new National Sleep Foundation survey on?A．American kids' sleeping habits.B．Teenagers' sleep-related illnessesC．Activities to stop sleeplessness.D．Ways to solve sleeping problems.24．How many hours of sleep do 1l-year-olds need every day?A．7 hours.B．8 hours.C．10 hours.D．18 hours.25．Why do teenagers go to sleep late according to Carskadon?A．Because they are influenced by certain body chemicals.B．Because they are excited by some bedtime activities.C．Because they are forced to do a lot of homework.D．Because they are allowed to go to school late.26．Where can we probably read this passage?A．In a news report.B．In a science fiction.C．In a fashion weekly.D．In a health magazine.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①What does love mean to you? Is it that special feeling in your heart when you see someone you like? Is it the heartbeat you get when you hold hands? Love seems to be everywhere, and at some museums around the world, love is in the air all year round.②The Palazzo Filomela in Venice is better known as the Museum of Love. This museum was once the private home of a famous 16th-century singer. On the walls, you can see paintings of famous lovers, such as the god Cupid and his love, Psyche.③For many, love and chocolate go hand in hand, so a visit to the Chocolate Museum in Cologe, Germany, makes sense. There, visitors can learn about the history of Chocolate and watch chocolate bars being made. The museum also gives out chocolate cakes from a three-meter-high chocolate fountain (喷泉).④Love isn't always sunshine and rainbows. Sometimes things can go wrong, and Museum of Broken Relationships in Croatia is built to this. It has a collection of objects that people gave away from their failed relationships, and each one has a story that goes along with it. Visitors will see letters, photographs, dolls, and clothing from broken hearts all over the world.⑤On the brighter side, the Diamond Museum Amsterdam in Holland is the place to go when you're ready to take your love to the next level. At this museum, you can learn about diamonds. including how to tell a real one from a fake one. You may also get some ideas about which diamond to buy when you're planning to get married.⑥Shakespeare once wrote, "Love looks not with the eyes, but with mind. " Thanks to these special museums, we can all open our mind to-and fill our hearts with--love.27．According to the passage, where will visitors go if they want to know stories of famous lovers?A．To the Palazzo Filomela.B．To the Chocolate Museum.C．To Museum of Broken Relationships.D．To the Diamond Museum Amsterdam.28．Why does the author introduce a chocolate museum in the passage?A．Because people believe love and chocolate are closely connected.B．Because people love to learn the history of chocolate.C．Because people like to make chocolate bars.D．Because people want to eat chocolate cakes.29．What does "Love isn't always sunshine and rainbows. "mean in paragraph 4?A．There is always sadness in love.B．Love is like a colorful rainbow.C．There is little failure in relationships.D．Sometimes love can make you feel bad.30．Which of the following shows the structure of this passage?A．B．C．D．(共5小题，每小题2分，满分 10分)阅读下面一篇关于提高说话技巧的短文，其中有五处(第31一35 题)需要添加小标题请从A一F 选项中选出符合意思的标题。

Now let me tell you something about it.An Englishman named Phil Shaw invented extreme ironing in1997 because he was bored dong iron at home. Extreme ironing is a special kind of outdoor sport. It combines (使结合) danger and excitement with practical ironing.Who does extreme ironing? People all over the world who like danger do it. There are about 1,000 people around theworld who do extreme ironing. There are extreme ironing clubs and groups in Britain, Germany, South Africa, New Zealand and the United States. In fact, anyone can do it. However, it is better to start ironing in our backyard before you start to iron on top of a mountain.There are, of course, some rules in extreme ironing. The ironing must be outdoors. You must take an iron, an ironing board, and something that you actually iron to get the wrinkles (皱褶 ) out. Outdoors includes faraway and unusual places, such as on top of a mountain, while skiing, snowboarding, skydiving, or under water. The more unusual, the better. However, you should plan carefully because the weather conditions can suddenly change on mountains, for example. You should not do extreme ironing on your own.What kind of things should you have? You must have a real travel iron. You must not use plastic or toy irons. The clothes you iron must be at least the size of a hand towel. It shouldn’t be just a handkerchief (手帕). The board doesn’t have to be a full-size board, but that is preferred. It must be one meter long and thirty centimeters wide and have legs. People have already ironed near the top of Qomolangma, the highest mountain in the world, and in the Blue Hole in Egypt, one of the most dangerous places to dive.

But Australian researchers have found a way to make something like this possible!A team at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, found a way to put special nanostructures (纳米结构) into clothing, which can then clean the clothes. When sunlight hits the nanostructures,they break down the dirt and stains (污渍) that don’t belong on your clothes.The nanostructures don’t break down the actual clothing because cotton and the other clothing materials are too strong to be broken down. According to CNN, the researchers cover the clothingin a solution made of silver and copper (铜) nanostructures. All it takes is 40 minutes of sunlight and your clothes will look as good as new.So if you spill on yourself during lunch, you can step outside for a walk, and it will be cleanby the time you go inside. It not only makes your life easier, but it can also be good for the environment.According to the US Department of Energy, the average load of laundry uses about 25 gallons (about 94 liters) of water. Water is a very important resource, so using less of it to wash clothesis better for the environment. But one of the scientists at RMIT University knows more needs to be done.“There’s more work to do before we can start throwing out our washing machines,” said Dr Rajesh Ramanathan, “but this is a strong foundation .”So what’s the next step?

The company says the design will “open the door to a new class of simpler, quieter and environmentally friendly planes” and will be possible from 2018.“Our goal is to develop an airplane for use in everyday life,” said Daniel, CEO and one of the company’s four founders.“We are going for a plane that can take off and land vertically and does not need the difficult and expensive infrastructure of an airport.Although helicopters offer a choice, they are very noisy and difficult to fly and require expensive licenses. They also have no backup if the rotor fails, making them costly to build and keep. While firstly limited to airfields, the Lilium airplane will eventually take off vertically from almost anywhere – even from back gardens – it needs only an open flat area of 50 ft by 50ft (15 m x 15m).The plane is classed as a Light Sport Aircraft for two users, with the pilot’s license requiring 20 hours’ minimum training – almost like taking a driving license. It is intended for fun flying during daylight, in good weather conditions and in least crowded airspace up to 3 km altitude. The airplane would have to follow the same flight laws as helicopters. 1．What is the advantage of the Lilium airplane?A．It can seat more people. B．It flies at a high speed.C．It needs a small airport. D．It only takes up a small space to park.2．Which condition is proper for Lilium airplane to fly?A．On a fine evening. B．On a rainy morningC．On a sunny afternoon D．On a sunny evening3．The Lilium airplane can be used in daily life because ________.A．it needs a backup. B．it takes a very long time to learn.C．it takes off and lands very easily. D．it can fly in good weather condition.4．From the passage we know that _________.A．customers can buy this kind of aircraft in 2019.B．Lilium airplanes started a new period of planesC．back gardens will have no use for Lilium airplanesD．Lilium airplanes can offer comfortable and noiseless flight.E17、Turbo is an American 3D cartoon comedy film.

eastern Jin Dynasty.According to the legend,Wang Xizhioffered to write words on the fansfor an elder lady,who was trying to sell fans on the bridge,andimmediately,all the townspeople queued up to buy one.Once it wasfor villages to pass across,but later for tourists for recreationalpurposes.The Pujin BridgeIt was a pontoon bridge made of bamboo rope and was constantlyrepaired.As it was built on the Yellow River by the Qin Kingdom,itwas once called"River Bridge".It was not until Hundreds of yearslater,when Emperor Xuanzongof Tang Dynasty gave orders to replacethe bamboo ropes with iron chains,that its name was changed intowhat it is now.Though with strong iron chains,it was still a traditionalplank bridges for daily passing.The Travellers'BridgeIt was built in about282by Emperor Wudiof the western Jin Dynasty.As the first stone single-arch bridge in China's history,it was built nearthe capital city Luoyang,and it was called the"Travellers'Bridge".Unlike traditional rope or plank bridges,the arch was high enough toallow large boats to pass under.The Guangji BridgeIt was built in1171with countless large stones and was located outsidethe ancient city of Chaozhouin Guangdong province.Its name means"helping the people".The bridge was the gateway from Guangdong toFujian and Zhejiang in ancient times.It is now regarded by many as thefirst swing bridge in the world.The swing was for navigation and floodrelief.16．The bridges were made of stones EXCEPT____.A．River Bridge B．TishanBridgeC．Travellers'Bridge D．GuangjiBridge17．The earliest stone single-arch bridge was in great height for____.A．recreational purposes B．flood reliefC．daily passing D．water transportation18．We can read the passage from a(n)____.A．history book B．romance novelC．architecture（建筑）magazine D．news report阅读理解A few years ago,I moved to a window office and sent an email letting everyone know.In the email,I jokingly invited everyone to come by for a"tour"ofthe new space.I was in a meeting that morning and when I got back to my office,I saw a box on my desk.There was a note on it,saying,"Happy new office!"The person didn't sign it.I was so happy with that.I didn't feel like I should help anyone or that someone was trying to get something from me.In fact,I found myself thanking everyone in the office.It was completely different from what I did on the beach the other day.The water was coming in.Two nice chairs were about to be taken out by the waves.The owners were nowhere to be seen,so I moved the chairs again and again as the waves rose.When the couple who owned the chairs showed up,I couldn't help myself.I went over,pointed to the waves,and said,"A couple of hours ago,your chairs were out there.""Oh,thanks so much for pulling them in,"said the guy."We just realized they were out here and thought they had probably gotten washed away.""Don't worry about it,"I said,as I walked away.Then these words came to my mind,"You have your reward(回报)."Then I realized when I went over to the couple,I was looking for something.If they hadn't shown anything after I told what I had done,it would have upset me.In our life,people who show their good deeds(行为)are always looking for a reward and they resent those who don't celebrate their generosity(慷慨).However,when we experience the pleasure of giving without letting the othersknow,we do more than show kindness.We're just giving to communicate an invaluable message,"You're loved.You're important to someone and it has nothing to do with what you can give in return."19．How did the author feel when she saw the box?A．She wanted to find out who cared about her.B．She thought someone asked for something.C．She was thankful someone gave it secretly.D．She was afraid it was sent to her by mistake.20．What can we infer about the author when she was on the beach?A．She got angry at keeping moving the chairs.B．She didn't think the couple liked the chairs.C．She made what she did known to the couple.D．She was lucky to meet with a kind couple.21．What does the underlined word"resent"inParagraph6mean?A．Hate.B．Avoid.C．Worry.D．Argue.22．What does the author advise us to do through the text?A．Give without expecting anything in return.B．Show love to someone important to you.C．Show kindness to those who dislike you.D．Do what we can to help more people.阅读理解The teacher who did the most to encourage me was,as it happened,my aunt.She was Myrtle C.Manigault,the wife of my mother's brother Bill.She taught in second grade at all-black Summer School in Camden,New Jersey.During my childhood and youth,Aunt Myrtle encouraged me to develop every aspect(方面)of my potential（潜能）,without regard for what was considered practical or possible for black females.I liked to sing;she listened to my voice and pronounced it good.I couldn't dance;she taught me the basic dancing steps.She took me to the theatre—not just children's theatre but adult comedies and dramas—and her faith that I could appreciate adult plays was not disappointed.My aunt also took down books from her extensive library and shared them with me.I had books at home,but they were all serious classics.Even as a child I had a strong liking for humor,and I'll never forget the joy of discovering Don Marquis's Archy&Mehitabel through her.Most importantly,perhaps,Aunt Myrtle provided my first opportunity to write for publication.A writer herself for one of the black newspapers,she suggested my name to the editor as a"youth columnist".My column,begun when I was fourteen,was supposed to cover teenage social activities—and it did—but it also gave me the freedom to write on many other subjects as well as the habit of gathering material,the discipline of meeting deadlines,and,after graduation from college six years later,a solid collection of published material that carried my name and was my passport to a series of writing jobs.Today Aunt Myrtle is still an enthusiastic supporter of her"favouriteniece".Like a diamond,she has reflected a bright,multifaceted(多面的)image of possibilities to every pupil who has crossed her path.23．Which of the following did Aunt Myrtle do to the author during her childhood andyouth?A．She lent her some serious classics.B．She developed her taste for music.C．She discoveredher talent for dancing.D．She introduced her to adult plays.24．What does Archyand Mehitabel in Paragraph3probably refer to?A．A book ofgreat fun.B．A writer of high fame.C．A serious masterpiece.D．A heartbreaking play.25．Why did Aunt Myrtle recommended（推荐）the author to a newspaper editor?A．Because Aunt Myrtle wanted to develop the author'sabilities for writing.B．Because Aunt Myrtle wanted togive the author a chance to collect material.C．Because Aunt Myrtle wanted to encouragethe authorto joinin teenage socialactivities.D．Because Aunt Myrtle wanted tooffer the authora series of writing jobs.26．We can conclude from the passage that Aunt Myrtle was a teacher who____.A．trained pupils to be intelligent and well-organizedB．gave pupils confidence in exploring their potentialC．emphasized(强调)what was practical or possible for pupilsD．helped pupils overcome difficulties in learning阅读理解There are two basic ways to see growth:one as a product,the other as a process.People have generally viewed personal growth as an external(外在的)result or a product that can easily be identified and measured（度量）.The worker who gets a rise,the student whose grades improve,the foreigner who learns a new language—all these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.By contrast(与...相反),the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine,since it is a journey and not the specific signposts（路标）or landmarks along the way.The process is not the road itself,but the attitudes, feelings people have,and their caution or courage,as they meet with new experiences and unexpected difficulties.In this process,the journey never really ends；thereare always new ways to experience the world,new ideas to try,new challenges to accept.In order to grow,to travel new roads,people need to have a willingness to take risks,to face the unknown,and to accept the possibility that they may"fail"at first.How do we see our ability to grow?Do we see ourselves as quick and curious?If so,we tend to take more chances and be more open to unfamiliar experiences.Do we think we're shy and indecisive?Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate,to move slowly and not to take a step until we know the ground is safe.Do we think we are slow to adapt(适应)change or that we're not smart enough to deal with a new challenge?Then we are likely to take a more passive（被动）role or not try at all.These feelings of insecurity(不安全)and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow.If we protect ourselves too much,then we stop growing.We become trapped（困住）inside a shell(外壳)of our own making.27．Which of the following can be viewed as the process of personal growing?A．Our manager was always willing to accept new challenges．B．Jane won the first prize in the speech competition．C．Jerry picked up French during his stay in Paris．D．Father's salary rose from5,000to7,000．28．For personal growth,the author is in favor of all the following EXCEPT____．A．being curious about more changesB．being quick in self-adaptationC．having an open mind to new experiencesD．staying away from failures and challenges29．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A．It is not so easy to measure personal growth.B．To try and fail on the new road facing the unknown is unavoidable.C．There are only two ways to see a person's growth.D．If you are too shy to take any risks in life,you cannot grow up.30．The best title for this passage should be____.A．Facing New Challenges B．Growth—Product or ProcessC．Two Basic Ways of Growth D．Overcoming Internal Fears阅卷人三、任务型阅读:下面文章有五处需要添加小标题。

They sing in the street. They sing while they go about their business. It is not just a cliché—in Italy, you see grown up men just singing while they work, because they want to somehow express their feelings. Music is not only to make you smile. Music is to make you think, and sometimes to make you understand that you're not the only one carrying great problems with you. By expressing that in a song, you can better live with it, because somebody found the right words, the right way to express what you're feeling at that moment. The songs on this album* show the whole range of emotions that Italian music is capableof**, just like in opera. . . ”—Jonas KaufmannThe text is taken from the back cover of the album Dolce Vita. Dolce Vita is the Italian language for the English expression “colorful and sweet life”. This Dolce V ita album has the concert that Jonas Kaufmann gave in Turin, Italy on July 4, 2016.*The word “album” in the text means a group of songs or pieces ofmusic on a CD.**The underlined part means the rich feelings that Italian music is able to express.()59. The songs on this album are sung in ______.A. RussianB. FrenchC. EnglishD. Italian()60. From Kaufmann's words, we can know ______.A. how much Italians love musicB. how he created his musicC. his experience of learning musicD. his advice on making music()61.

It was China's sixth manned(载人的) visit to Tiangong.The Shenzhou 17 crew(乘组) was the youngest crew ever to visit Tiangong: Tang Hongbo was 48, Tang Shengjie was 34 and Jiang Xinlin was 36. However, that record was just broken by the astronauts of Shenzhou 18: Ye Guangfu, Li Guangsu and Li Cong were just 43, 36 and 34 years old.The Shenzhou 17 crew did a lot of scientific experiments during the six months. They performed two space walks—one in December, 2023 and the other in March, 2024. On February 9, 2024, the astronauts specially recorded a video to send New Year's greetings to everyone on the space station. On April 26, they welcomed the crew of Shenzhou 18 to the Tiangong space station. Several days later, the Shenzhou 17 manned spaceship returned to Earth and landed successfully. The crew members were in good physical condition. This manned flight was a complete success!()62. Who is a Shenzhou 17 memberA. Li Cong.B. Ye Guangfu.C. Li Guangsu.D. Tang Shengjie.()63.

A travel guide.D. An advertisement.()65. What can be the best title for this textA. Shenzhou 18 Was Sent into SpaceB. The Development of Tiangong Space StationC. Shenzhou 17 Returned to Earth SuccessfullyD. Tiangong Space Station Welcomed New ComersDPeople know animals do have feelings, but they are not sure if these feelings are correctly understood. In recent years, scientists have done research about the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. __▲__ It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls.The researchers put a bowl behind a door. Inside the bowl, sometimes, there was something chickens love to eat, such as riceor insects. Sometimes, there was nothing. When the chickens saw food behind the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls. When there wasn't food, the chickens made low and long noises to express disappointment. The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves. Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises. Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the chickens finding no food. The recordings were played to 200 volunteers. Sixty nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not, and some of them even had no experience of taking care of chickens. The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens. Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with the chicken raising industry, a big industry in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify chickens' feelings. This is good news for farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier.()66. Which of the following can be put in “__▲__” in Paragraph 1A. Humans may not like animals.B. Scientists know nothing about it.C. Nobody knows why this happens.D. A new study adds chickens to the list.()67. Which is most probably the sound wave of a happy call by a chickenA. B.C. D.()68. How did the volunteers help with the researchA. By listening to the chicken calls.B. By taking care of the chickens.C. By finding food for the chickens.D. By making the chickens happy.()69. What does the underlined word “identify” mean in Paragraph 4A. Control.B. Hide.C. Recognize.D. Hurt.()70. What is the best title for the passageA. Chickens' Food CallsB. Happy Chickens, Sad ChickensC. Farmers' Best ChoiceD. Smart Farmers, Healthy FarmersⅨ. 阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分)The Internet is the best thing to happen since the creation of the alphabet*. However, can you trust what you read on the InternetAnyone in the world can put a website on the Internet. Many people say that the things they read on the Internet may not be true. You need to be careful when you look through lots and lots of information. As you explore the Internet for information, here are some ideas to get the right things online.First, check who wrote the website. Make sure that the writer is an expert. For example, if the topic is science, make sure the writer is a(n) ______ or a science teacher. The expert can provide us with professional knowledge or statistics (统计数据) in the field. Make sure to study the statistics so that you can avoid making minor mistakes**.Next, make sure the site is there for a good reason, not a bad one. If the site is meant to fool you, you can be sure you can't trust what's on it. If the site is there to give you information, the information is more possibly good.Also, check how old the information is. A good research engine(搜索引擎) can help you get a date for when something was written. In many subjects, like science, new information replaces old information all the time.Finally, train yourself to be a serious person about the information from websites. You can use other resources to check what you've got online.If you follow these suggestions, you will become a better user of the Internet.*An alphabet is a set of letters or symbols in a fixed order, such as Aa to Zz in English, and used in writing.**A minor mistake is a mistake that is small and not so important or serious.根据短文内容及所给提示完成句子。

The village super league, or " Cun Chao" in Chinese, is a soccer game among different villages in Rongjiang county, Southwest China' s Guizhou province. It was held from May 13th to July 29th in 2023. The matches were so popular that at least 1 million people watched it on the field.The football players come from different backgrounds.

The winner of the first " Gorgeous Countryside" Basketball League came out on March 27th.

Football in Rongjiang dates back to the 1940s and basketball in Taipan dates back to 1936. Now, under the support of the government, more people can take part in sporting events and enjoy it.

This is called " phubbing" — a mix of the words " phone" and " snubbing(不理睬)" .When someone is " phubbing" , they' re using their phone to look through the online news, check messages, play games and so on, instead of focusing on the conversation or spending time with the people they' re with. The word was first used back in 2012, when fewer people had smartphones. And now that most people have smartphones, phubbing is a common problem.Most people would agree that it' s rude to be focused on your phone when you' re spending time with another person.
