21、   China’s Chang’e 5 mission to the moon was completed in less than a month after blasting off (点火起飞). A capsule containing samples of lunar (月球的) rocks and soil collected from the surface of our natural satellite landed in Inner Mongolia, where it was taken back for study.

Chinese broadcaster CGTN reported that the capsule had landed back to Earth just after 10am Dec. 16. Search crews were out in the freezing pre-dawn Hours looking to find back the capsule from the snowy grassland during temperatures well below zero. Aerial images (航拍影像) appeared to show the capsule safely resting on the ground.

China's National Space Administration announced on Thursday, Dec. 3, that its ascent module (上升器) had blasted off from the top of the mission's lunar lander, carrying samples of rock and soil it dug from the lunar surface. It then met with an orbiter circling the moon. The pair made the return trip to Earth where the capsule carrying the samples was sent on its way for a hot and fast going down through our atmosphere only to land on the frozen ground.

The mission lifted off from China on Nov. 23 and landed on the moon on Dec. l. Videos from Chinese media showed the lander’s robotic arm hard at work during its short shift on another world. During its stay, Chang'e 5 also sent back images of a lunar plain of relatively young volcanic moon rock. The image shows both distant hills and how the feet of the lander dug into the soft surface of the moon as it touched down. Enlarging the foot of the lander in particular providers a real sense of the dry, desert-like lunar surface. When the samples were collected, they have been the first pieces of the moon to be returned to our planet since the 1970s.

【1】What is the mission of Chang'e 5?

A．Collecting samples of rocks and soil from the moon.

B．Taking the samples from the earth to then moon.

C．Sending a man-made satellite to orbit the moon.

D．Sending a manned spaceship to make a lunar landing.

D．The orbiter.

【3】What do the underlined words "another world" in paragraph 4 refer to?

A．The Earth.

B．A spaceship.

C．Chang'e 5.

D．The Moon

【4】In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?

A．Entertainment.

B．Science.

C．Education.

D．Health.

22、Maybe you are an average boy or girl. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how:

【1】. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First set your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.

Find a good place to study. 【2】. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a comer of your room, free of everything but study materials. Do stay away from games, radios, or television. When you sit down to begin, concentrate on the subject.

Make full use of your time in class. 【3】. Focusing on each class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.

Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. 【4】. If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you’ll remember it longer.

Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be overly worried.

23、iPad vs textbooks

26、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。续写的词数应为150左右。

Carl was a quiet man. He didn't talk much. He would always greet you with a big smile and a firm handshake. Even after living in our neighborhood for over 50 years, no one could really say they knew him very well.

After retirement, he volunteered to take care of the church garden. One day, he was just finishing his watering for the day when three gang members approached him. Ignoring their attempt to attack him, he simply asked, "Would you like a drink from the hose（水管）?”

The tallest and toughest-looking of the three said, "Yeah, sure,” with a malevolent（恶意的）little smile. As Carl offered the hose to him, the other two grabbed Carl's arm, throwing him down. They robbed him of his retirement watch and his wallet, and then fled.

Although the minister of the church had witnessed the attack from his window, he couldn't get there fast enough to stop it. "Carl, are you okay? Are you hurt?" the minister kept asking as he helped Carl to his feet.

"Just some naughty kids. I hope they'll wise up someday," Carl said. He bent to pick up the hose. He adjusted the nozzle again and started to water.

A few weeks later the three returned. Carl again offered them a drink from his hose. This time they didn't rob him. They wrenched the hose from his hand and wetted him from head to foot in the icy water. When they had finished their bullying him, they went down the street, laughing at what they had just done.

Carl just watched them. Then he picked up his hose, and went on with his watering.

A few days later, as Carl was working in the garden, he saw the tall leader of the attackers reaching down for him. He prepared himself for the expected attack. "Don't worry, old man, I'm not gonna hurt you this time." The young man spoke softly and pulled a bag from his pocket and handed it to Carl. "It's your stuff back. Even the money in your wallet."

The man shifted his feet, seeming embarrassed. "I learned something from you," he said. "I ran with that gang and hurt people like you. Every time we came and did something to you, instead of yelling and fighting back, you tried to give us a drink. You didn't hate us for hating you. You kept showing love against our hate.”

Paragraph 1：

Carl died one cold day after Christmas that winter.

Paragraph 2：

Opening the door, the minister saw a familiar young man holding the notice.
