A Chinese space mining company has designed a robot that can capture waste material left behind by spacecraft in outer space with a big net.
The state-run Xinhua news agency recently reported that the robot launched on the government's Long March 6 rocket along with several satellites. The robot will also investigate deep space to observe small objects in the universe. The 30-kilogram robot, called NEO-01 , was developed by Origin Space. Pounded in 2019 and based in the southern Chinese tech hub(技术中心)Shenzhen, Origin Space has been devoted to exploring and using space resources, according to the company. The company says the robot will lead the way for future technologies capable of mining on asteroids(小行星).
The world's first asteroid mining company, Planetary Resources, was established in 2009. Since then, more than 12 businesses around the world have entered the industry, including 3D Systems of the United States and Japan's Astroscale. Astroscale's technology uses magnets (磁铁)to gather up space waste. But a report on the Origin Space website says NEO-01 will use a net to capture waste and then bum it. Thousands of satellites have been launched worldwide. As they are used too long, many end up as waste and put other operating satellites at risk.
Su Meng is the founder of Origin Space. He said the company plans to launch many space telescopes and more spacecraft to begin the first for-profit mining of asteroids by 2045. Su added that NEO-01 will serve as a prototype (雏形)of future space mining robots, which can use rich mineral resources on asteroids to support the development of the space industry.
The Xinhua news agency reported that China was increasing efforts to land a spacecraft on a near-Earth asteroid to collectmaterials. China is also speeding up a plan to build a defense system against near-Earth asteroids. The country aims to follow Russia and the United States in becoming a major space power by 2030.
4. Which of the following can correctly describe NEO-01?
A. It weighs 60 kilograms.
B. It was created by Planetary Resources.
C. It will be burnt after finishing its mission.
D. It is mainly used to catch space waste.
5. What can be inferred from the text?
A. China will be the most powerful in space by 2030.
B. Origin Space will open more mines on asteroids.
C. It is those useless satellites that make space waste.
D. The robot will look into deep space for more waste.
6. What does Su Meng think of NEO-01 ?
A. It is promising and rewarding.
B. It has benefited the space industry.
C. It's a long way to produce it.
D. It'll help make money for the company.
7. What can be the best title for the text?

B. A Chinese Robot Can Catch Space Waste
C. A New Robot Makes China a SpacePower
D. NEO-01 , the Pioneer of Future Space Robots

To stay healthy and fit, Chinesestudents do group exercises every day at school. Most of you probably do the same set of exercises. But some school exercises have grown popular online due to their local and innovative designs.
Singing in Sichuan dialects with energetic movements and unique mask-changing is not just a Sichuan Opera performance. It’s the routine exercise for students of Mianyang Foreign Languages Experimental School in Sichuan province.
“Sichuan Opera is a local opera, and it is now facing a gap in inheritance (传承). Therefore, we cooperated with Mianyang Intangible Cultural Heritage Center to create a simple and easy-to-learn Sichuan Opera exercise,” said Shen Junhua, who is in charge of organizing the school’s exercise between classes.
According to Shen, this new type of exercise has been practiced since 2017 and has been popular among students. When students enroll (入学), they will spend several weeks practicing it. At present, almost all of the students and teachers have mastered it.
“In fact, we had hardly heard of Sichuan Opera before teachers taught us how to do the Sichuan Opera exercise,” said Li Yangwenwen, 14, an eighth grade student who also joined the school’s Sichuan Opera club out of
interest. “It’s very different from normal exercises. After practicing it, we found it very beautiful and became interested in it. Now, almost all of the students look forward to our daily exercise time and feel excited to do it.”
“By combining opera with daily exercise, the daily class activity allows students to perceive and understand Sichuan Opera’s culture”, Shen said. “After years of continuous effort to spread the seeds of traditional culture, the younger generation is finally catching on.”
8. What do students in Shen’s school do during the group exercise?
A. They do normal exercise .
B. They sing pop songs in Sichuan dialects.
C. They do mask-changing in a Sichuan Opera performance.
D. They combine group exercise with Sichuan Opera.
9. Why do they adopt the new type of exercise?
A. To attract new students to the school.
B. To inherit local culture.
C. To create an easy-to-learn exercise.
D. To make the school’s group exercise popular.
10. How do teachers and students react to the group exercise?
A. Calm.
B. Indifferent.
C. Enthusiastic.
D. Uninterested.
11. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Shen’s continuous effort is highly praised.
B. The younger generation will have a stronger body.
C. The students can better understand their local culture.
D. Students help to spread the seeds of traditional culture toyounger generation.

Born in 1954, Oprah Winfrey is best known for her multi-award-winning talk show as the most influential woman in the world. It's no surprise that her recognition can bring overnight sales fortune that defeats most, if not all, marketing campaigns. The star features about 20 products each year on her "Favorite Things" show. There's even a term for it: the Oprah Effect.
Her television career began unexpectedly. When she was 16 years old, she had the idea of being a journalist to tell other people's stories in a way that made a difference in their lives and the world. She was on television by
the time she was 19 years old. And in 1986 she started her own television show with a continuous determination to succeed at first.
TIME magazine wrote, "People would have doubted Oprah Winfrey's swift rise to host of the most popular talk show on TV. In a field dominated by white males, she is a black female of big size. As interviewers go, she is no match for Phil Donahue. What she lacks in journalistic toughness, she makes up for in plainspoken curiosity, rich humor and, above all understanding. Guests with sad stories to tell tend to bring out a tear in Oprah's eye. They, in turn, often find themselves exposing things they would not imagine telling anyone, much less a national TV audience."
"I was nervous about the competition and then I became my own competition raising the bar every year, pushing, pushing, pushing myself as hard as I knew. It doesn't matter how far you might rise. At some point you are likely to fall if you' re constantly doing what we do, raising the bar. If you' re constantly pushing yourself higher, higher the law of averages, you will at some point fall. And when you do, I want you to know this, remember this: there is no such thing as failure. Failure is just life trying to move us in another direction" as Oprah addressed graduates at Harvard on May 30.
12. What does the Oprah Effect refer to in the first paragraph?
A. the influence on talk show hosts
B. the power of Oprah's opinions.
C. the effect on a business.
D. the audience of Oprah's talk show.
13. What can be inferred about Oprah's television career?
A. She must have been challenged a lot
B. She gained fame as planned.
C. It lives up to her parents' expectation.
D. She once gave up on her choice.
14. What message did Oprah give to Harvard graduates?
A. Success comes after failure.
B. Pushing physical limits makes no sense
C. Aiming higher hurts
D. Failure is part of life.
15. Which of the following best describes Oprah Winfrey?
A. Friendly.
B. Humorous
C. Determined.
D. Patient
