26、“Welcome to our new ‘classroom’!” said Chen Dong, one of the three astronauts of the Shenzhou XIV mission.

They were giving a science class 400 kilometers above Earth on Oct 12. It was the third space class from the Tiangong space station, but the first one from the Wentian lab module(实验舱) since its launch in July. The former two classes were held in the Tianhe core module(核心舱).

What does the new “classroom” look like? Chen, together with Liu Yang and Cai Xuzhe, showed us around. “The beds in the Tianhe module are placed horizontally(横着), while our beds are kept upright,” said Liu. That means astronauts in the Wentian lab module need to sleep standing up! But as Liu explained, people don’t feel any difference because there’s no gravity(重力)in space. Astronauts can even sleep on the ceiling(天花板)or upside down!

The astronauts also showed their “space farm”, where lettuce, wheat, thale cress(拟南芥)and rice are grown. “Take a picture!” “Send the picture!” Through a voice-controlled camera, Chen already sent a picture of the thale cress to scientists on Earth. Then he used scissors to cut a sample. “I’ll put it into a fridge at -80 ℃ and later give it to scientists on Earth,” said Chen. Scientists will study how the environment of space affects the growth of plants.

“We hope in the near future, we can harvest the food grown on our own,” said Chen. “Maybe one day, we can grow food on the moon or even on Mars!”

【1】Where were the astronauts giving a science class?

A．In a lab on Earth.

B．In the Wentian lab module.

C．In the Tianhe core module.

D．In Shengzhou XIV.

【2】What are the bed in the new “classroom” like?

A．They are placed horizontally.

B．They are on the ceiling.

C．They are kept straight.

D．They are turned upside down.

【3】What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?

A．A piece of thale cress.

B．A picture.

C．A pack of rice.

D．A piece of lettuce.

【4】Which word best describes Chen Dong’s attitude to the future of space farming?

A．Doubtful.

B．Unconcerned.

C．Hopeful.

D．Negative.

28、   We have the most friends at the age of 26 after having spent the first quarter of our lives building up our friendship circle, new research has claimed.

The research into friendship shows that our social circle peaks at 26 years and 7 months, at which we typically have five close friends. Women are most popular at 25 years and 10 months, with men hitting the highest friendship point a little later at 27 years and 3 months.

The research, by Forever Friends, shows that about a third of adults meet their closest friends while at school, with about a fifth saying they meet them at work.

Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter now also play a major role in building new friendship. The research points out that 25-to-34-year-olds make 22 friends via Facebook, compared to 18-to-24-year-olds who make 12,and 35-to-44-year-olds who make just four.

Forever Friends’ relationship coach Sam Owen says, “It is no coincidence that over a third of us meet our best friends at school. It is a key time in our lives when friendship is growing through sharing notes, giving gifts, seeing each other regularly and laughing a lot. As adults we can often forget how powerful these small things are and how the little things can make a difference.”

Later in life we find ourselves losing friends. Over half of us lose friendship through moving, while 36% say that over time they grow apart from close pals. Having children also causes 19% to drift away from childhood friends.

With growing pressure being put on friendship these days, it’s important to make time for our friendship.

【1】How many friends can a 20-year-old college student make via Facebook?

A．4.

B．12.

C．18.

D．22.

A．that it’s important to make friends

B．that it’s necessary to keep friendship

C．that much has to be done to keep friendship

D．that friendship at school is important

【3】The underlined phrase “drift away from” in Paragraph 6 means “________”.

A．make sense of

B．make up with

C．feel sorry for

D．lose touch with

【4】This passage is most probably taken from ________.

A．a novel

As a stay-at-home mom for 26 years, KC just turned 50 and she wanted to seek a job. She was not just looking for something to do. Putting four kids through college had left her severe financial problems and getting a job was a must!

From childhood, all KC wanted to be was a mom. "That's all. I'm just a mom who stays at home with my children and creates a good and comfortable home for my family." She was not sure why that ambition(夙愿) was so strong for her. "My mom worked full-time, so I did not see her often. Maybe because I wished she had been at home with me," KC said. So after the birth of her first child, KC gave up her job and spent the next 26 years taking care of her children. But after such a long time, she wanted to find a job.

She realized the difficulty of the situation. When she sent a resume that had a 26-year gap, she knew it was lucky if she could get an interview, let alone an offer. Besides, her education was also one of the obstacles (障碍). The fact that she didn’t go to college was a disadvantage.

So after her own experiences, she advised others, "Get a college degree! You needn't change the thing about being a stay-at-home mom, but do something — no matter how small — to keep your skills up to date. There are so many choices these days that it will be easy to do while you're a full-time mom."

KC would still like to get a degree and then she discussed it with her husband. Her husband thought that she needed to go to a tutorial school. She agreed. KC wanted to keep up with current technology so she took classes to learn to use software.

注意:续写词数应为150左右。
