NASA on Thursday announced the discovery of Kepler-
452b, the most Earth-like planet ever found.
Located 1,400 light-
years from our planet, NASA called it “Earth 2.0”, becau se it’s the first planet
discovered in the habitable zone of a G star similar to our sun.
“We can think of Kepler-
452b as an older, bigger cousin to Earth, providing an o pportunity to
understand and reflect upon Earth’s evolving environment,” s aid Jon Jenkins, the Kepler data analysis
lead at NASA's .
The planet is 5 percent farther away from its star than Earth is to the sun, making for a slightly longer year of 38 5 days, but gets similar light because its sun is 20 percent bri ghter than our own.
“The sunshine from this star would feel very similar to t he sunshine from our star,” Jenkins told reporters.
NASA believes the planet has a mass about five times more massive than Earth’s, with a rocky surface below a thicker atmosphere than our own. Gravity would be abo ut twice as strong on Kepler-
452b as it is on Earth, NASA said.
The planet is located in the Kepler-
452 system in the constellation Cygnus (天鹅
座). Its sun has the same surface temperature as our own, but has a diameter that is 10 percent larger.
While NASA scientists have no idea if Kepler-
452b’s atmosphere is conducive to life, they do know that ther e has been plenty of time for organisms to develop.
“It’s awe-
inspiring to consider this planet spent 6 billion years in t he habitable zone of its star, which is longer the age of the Earth,” Jenkins said. “That is considerable time and opportunit y for life to arise somewhere on its surface or oceans if all the necessary conditions for life exist on this planet.”
4. The reason why NASA called Kepler-
452b “Earth2.0” is that ___________.
A. it is 5 percent farther away from its star than Earth is to the
sun
B. it has a mass about five times more massive than Earth’s
C. it’s the first planet discovered in the habitable zone of a G s tar similar to our sun
D. it is longer the age of the Earth
5. According to the passage, we know that ____________.
A. Kepler-452b is located in the constellation Cygnus
B. Kepler-452b’s atmosphere is conducive to life
C. gravity would be about twice as strong on Earth as it is on Kepler-452b
D. the sunshine from Kepler-
452b would feel very different from the sunshine from earth 6. The underlined part “habitable zone” in the last paragraph r efers to ___________.
A. a large area which is different from others
B. a small area which is the same as others
C. a large area which is good enough for people to live in
D. a small area which is hard for people to live in
7. What type of writing is the text? It’s ____________.

Are you trying to learn a new language in a foreign land? You might be better off if you stopped looking at that picture of yo ur family and friends.
New research from Columbia University found that promp ting someone who is learning a new language with imag es and reminders of their own culture could temporarily r uin everything that the brain was trying to build.
When native Chinese students were asked to talk with a Cauc asian avatar (白种人的虚拟头
像) and a Chinese avatar, their English skills were so diff erent. Simply exposing students to a Chinese person affe cted their ability to speak English. Subjects who talked with the Chinese version felt more comfortable in their spe ech, but they produced 11% fewer words per minute. They ac tually became less fluent speakers.
To make sure it wasn't just the avatar, researchers also show ed people random images of while the participants told a st ory. When pictures of their homeland appeared, fluency dropped 16% and volunteers were 85% more likely to use a l iteral translation, for example, calling pistachios “happy nuts”, because that's literally what the Chinese word for pistachio m
eans.
When the students were shown pictures of fish with one swim ming ahead of the others, their culture would change how the y look at the photo. With Chinese prompts (提
示), like photos of the Great Wall or Chinese Dragon, etc. they saw more students thinking that the fish was being chased, w hile an American prompt, like pictures of Marilyn Monroe or S uperman, saw those students believing that it was a leader fis h. Why are our cultural symbols Marilyn Monroe and Superma n?
The bottom line is: when attempting to learn a new culture it is far better to surround yourself with
that culture than create an island of the old one.
8. Why does the author use a question in the first paragraph?
A. To raise a question.
B. To arouse readers’ aw areness.
C. To introduce the topic.
D. To tell a story.
9. The underlined word “pistachios” in the fourth paragraph ref ers to ___________.
A. pictures
B. a kind of food
C. volunteers
D. an image
10. From the passage we can infer that ___________.
A. with Chinese prompts, more students thought that it was a l eader fish
B. with an American prompt, more students thought that the fi sh was being chased
C. different images would change with different people
D. different cultures would affect how students look at the pho to
11. According to the research, which is a better way for
a student in a foreign land to learn a new culture?
A. To surround himself with that culture.
B. To create an island of the old one.
C. To see random images of .
D. To talk with a Cau casian avatar.
D

What makes a true hero is not just helpi ng people when one has the power, but having the courage to stand up against the evil even without power. And this is wha t the film is about. When the hero loses his power and armor, when he is nothing more than an ordinary monkey, what woul d he do to protect the one he loves? This is also about a grou p of Chinese dream chasers trying to keep the beacon of h ope lit even though being in the most unfavorable situations” f rom Tumblr.
“Though the film was injected with a little bit of Hollywood, its
bold and creative story has attracted several Chinese cinema aficionados.” from Yibada.

One possible version:
The “one child” policy has been changed in our country and it is possible that some of us may have a brother or sister. Are y ou willing to have a younger sibling in your family?
In a schoolwide survey about this question, most of my fellow students say yes. They are very glad to have a companion at home and therefore they will no longer feel lonely when their parents are busy working. In addition, they can learn to share things with and offer help to other people. The few others who say no to the question are afraid that their parents will love th em less if they have a younger brother or sister at home.
As for me, I will be very happy to have a younger brother or si ster. For one thing, a small child is great fun to me and I like t o play with him or her. For another, I will have a good friend to do things with, to talk with and to share my life with. (172 wor ds)
