(A)Once upon a time, there was a young man who liked puppets (木偶) so much that he became an apprentice(学徒) to a master puppet-maker. Sadly, the young man was not so clever, and his teacher and the other apprentices were always telling him he had no talent for making puppets, and that he would achieve nothing in making puppets.Even so, he was fond of it so much that he worked day after day to improve himself. Though he made every effort, they would always find something wrong with his puppets, and the poor puppets ended up being thrown out of the workshop.The young man wasn’t going to giv e up, so he decided that from then on he would spend all his time making just one kind of puppet. Whenever he found a fault in his puppet he would throw it away and start again. Years passed, and with each new attempt his puppet became a little bit better. By that time, his puppet was much better than anything that the other apprentices could make, but he kept making improvements. Living like that, the man wasn’t making any money, and many people laughed at how poor he was.By the time he was an old man, his puppet was truly wonderful. Finally, after so many years of work, he finished work on his puppet, and said, “I can’t find anything wrong with it. This time it is perfect.” And for the first time in all those years, instead of throwing his puppet away, he put it up on the shelf, feeling truly satisfied and cheerful.It is well-known that the perfect puppet, Pinocchio, came to life after that, had a thousand adventures, and gave that old man –whose name was Geppetto—more joy than any other famous puppet—maker had ever got from any of their creations.26.

All roles are divided according to sex, personality, age and profession and social status. Hangdang is the general term for role in Beijing Opera. There are four types of roles in Beijing Opera today. They are sheng, dan, jing and chou.

While now, the real opera artists are well respected by opera lovers.Mei Lanfang, one of the most remarkable performing artists in Beijing Opera, was born in Beijing into a poor family. His life was bitter and he had no opportunity to go to school, so he went to the troupe (戏班子) when he was 8 years old to learn Beijing Opera.

The Long March 5 kicked off its mission (任务) at the Wenchang Space Launch Center in Hainan.The 57-meter-tall rocket, known as the Long March 5 Y3, is the tallest, strongest and most technologically sophisticated (技术复杂的) rocket in China. Since it is much bigger than China’s other Long March rockets, people call it “Fat 5”. The rocket is able to carry spacecraft (航天器) weighing up to 25 tons – roughly the weight of 16 midsize cars – into low-Earth orbit (近地轨道), China Daily reported. This payload capacity (有效载荷) is about 2.5 times greater than that of any other Chinese rocket.During the December launch, the Long March 5 successfully sent the Shijian 20 experimental satellite into orbit. At more than 8 tons, it is the heaviest and most advanced communications (通信) satellite built by China.The launch also tested key technologies that will be used to take the Chang’e 5 probe (探测器) to the moon, according to the China National Space Administration.The success of the Long March 5 launch was hard-earned. The rocket’s first launch was carried out in November 2016 at the Wenchang center. A second mission took place in July 2017 at the same site, but failed to send a satellite into orbit. According to project le aders, in the two years since that failure, the rocket’s research team held more than 600 seminars (研讨会) and carried out at least 1,000 experiments and tests to improve the rocket. “Compared with the Long March 5 Y2 that was used in the failed second mis sion, the new one has about 200 technical improvements, including changes to the engine design,” Li Dong, the rocket’s chief designer (总设计师), said to China Daily.The future missions of the Long March 5 will include a trip to Mars, taking back moon samples (样本), and placing parts of a manned (载人的) space station into orbit.36.

Chatting online is now a national pastime in China, especiallyamong the post-90s and post-00s generation. To some people, however, online chats can seem like a kind of polite conversation. Yet hidden rules and standards do exist, as long as you take the time to look for them.Get to the PointWhen sending a friend request, include your real name and any other identifying information. Remember, everybody’s time is precious. If there’s something you want, cut right to the chase. Never send an “Are you there?” without any follow-up messages. The quicker that you get to the point, the more likely the other person is to reply.Send the Right ThingsPlease send texts, not voice messages. It might be easier for you to speak than type, but what about the person on the other end? They may be unable to listen to a 59-second message right now. Also, never send personal information by voice message—it is hard to note down. Emojis, GIFs and memes can save the day when you find yourself in an embarrassing conversation, or words fail you.Try to UnderstandYou can always judge a person’s mood by their text messages. If the person you’re talking to says “Good night” or “I’m going to take a shower.” that’s probably not what they’re actually going to do, it is just an excuse to stop talking to you. If someone hesitates for longer than three seconds before saying “Yes”, they probably really mean “No”. If you receive these emojis from friends who are older, read them literally (照字面地) (as a smile, a wave or a laugh). For the post-90s and post-00s generation, however, they could be speechlessness.41. What can you do if there’s something you want when you’re chatting online according to the passage?A. Send an “Are you there?” without any follow-up messages.B. Send a friend request without any other identifying information.C. Send it directly without any other useless messages.D. Send your real name without any follow-up message.42. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to “_____________”.A. personal informationB. voice messageC. emojiD. GIF43. Who will send you a wave to say goodbye according to the passage?A.The post-80s generation.B. The post-90s generation.C. The post-2000s generation.D. The post-2010s generation.44. What is the passage mainly about?A. How to get to the point when you’re chatting online.B. Different good ways of sending the right thing.C. Hidden rules and standards in chatting online.D. How to understand others through the messages.45. What is the writer’s opinion about chatting online?A. Your text messages on the phone will show what you’re feeling.B. Using too many emojis while chatting will annoy others.C. V oice messages make it easier for others to understand you.D. The ways you use to chat are the same as your parents.第二节阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）根据短文内容，将下面A---E五个句子分别填入文中空缺处，使得补全后的短文意思通顺，结构完整。
