21、As space science develops, man has learned more and more about space. Space is not only amazing but also dangerous. While working in space, spacemen are facing danger as well as success.

Scientists have found out that the radiation（辐射） is the greatest danger to spacemen in space. When spacemen are working in space, they are in danger of the radiation from the sun and other stars, which is bad for their health. The harm of the radiation won’t be found until their children even grandchildren are born. Some special medicine may work a little, but no really effective medicine has been found so far.

Space rubbish is also thought to be a great danger to spacemen. It’s reported that there were 9,000 man-made things flying in space. About 30% of these are satellites, 10% are spaceships, and the rest are space rubbish. An explosion（爆炸）in space in 1999 made a cloud of 300,000fragments, each at least 4mm in size. A small piece of these even knocked a spaceship window and caused some damage（损坏）.

Scientists are watching and reporting any possible danger all the time. They are working to deal with space rubbish. Although space is really dangerous, it interests many people on the earth. In the near future, it may become possible for people to spend a few days in a space hotel. We may even choose to leave the earth and live in space in a few years. So we should do something to help improve the space environment.

【1】______ shows the man-made things in space in the correct way.

A. B. C. D.

【2】The radiation from the sun and other stars is ______ to spacemen.

A.good B.helpful C.useful D.harmful

【3】The underlined word “fragments”means “______”.

A.碎片 B.泡沫 C.烟雾 D.飞碟

【4】The passage talks about _________ kinds of danger in space.

A.two B.three C.four D.five

【5】Which of the following is TRUE?

A.Scientists have found out ways to solve any problem in space.

B.Every one of us can have a travel to space in ten years.

C.The harm of the radiation may be found in the spacemen’s children.

D.Space is really dangerous, so it doesn’t interest anyone on the earth.

22、   “Please don’t travel to Wuhan unless it’s absolutely necessary,” Zhong Nanshan, a famous respiratory (呼吸科的) expert, reminded the public when the novel coronavirus first hit Wuhan. But despite the danger, he, 84, rushed on an overnight train to Wuhan to fight the disease.

Zhong Nanshan is known as the hero who defeated SARS in 2003. His image and messages are flooding ( 遍 布 ) social media. Many people say they “trust every word of Zhong”. He has given Chinese people confidence in winning the battle.

A great doctor and honest scholar (学者)

Growing up in a family of doctors, Zhong lives by a simple motto (信条): save lives and always be honest. In 2003, when SARS hit China, he volunteered to treat patients and asked his colleagues ( 同 事 ) to send their most serious cases to him. After months of work, his treatment plan for SARS was adopted ( 采 纳 ) by China and then the whole world, saving thousands of lives, People’s Daily reported.

Zhong is also known for being an honest scholar. In 2003, when authorities (官方) said that the SARS virus was under control, he publicly refuted their claim. “I couldn’t help myself. I said it’s not all under control,” Zhong said in a later interview. His honesty won widespread praise from the Chinese public.

Back to the frontlines

Seventeen years later, Zhong is once again leading an expert team to study the novel coronavirus. Although this new virus is known to be more dangerous to the elderly, Zhong doesn’t seem worried about his own safety.

On January 18, he took a high-speed train from Guangzhou to Wuhan. Two days later, he became the first expert to make certain that the new virus can be spread between humans. On January 29, he and his colleagues spent over four hours online checking five patients who were in serious condition. The next day, he chose the treatment for those patients. Under his guidance, his team developed a rapid test kit (快速检测试剂盒) for the disease that can show results within 15 minutes.

As People’s Daily wrote, “the 84-year-old Zhong Nanshan shows his professionalism as a scholar, courage as a soldier, and a sense of duty as the backbone (脊梁) of our nation.”

【1】Which one would NOT be used to describe Zhong Nanshan?

A.He is an expert. B.He is honest. C.He trusts social media. D.He is brave.

【2】What achievements did Zhong make in the fight against SARS?

A.He was the first doctor to start treating SARS patients. B.He treated the most serious patients online.

C.His treatment plan saved lots of people. D.He stated that SARS was under control.

【3】What does the underlined word “refute” mean?

A.To support others’ opinions. B.To say that something was not true.

C.To mock or laugh at authorities. D.To be in the fight against the disease.

【4】What has Zhong done to fight the disease caused by the new virus?

A.He warned people that the virus could spread between humans.

B.He treated five severe patients in a day.

C.He chose some special patients to receive treatment.

D.The test kit from his team can show results in 15 seconds.

【5】The purpose of the story is to________.

A.encourage people to stay at home B.state the importance of Zhong’s warning

C.guide people to be honest and brave D.praise Zhong’s courage and spirit

23、   It was Mother’s Day. John was so busy with his work that he couldn’t go back home. When he was called by a flower shop in the evening, an idea came to his mind. “I’ll send mum some roses（玫瑰）.”

While John was picking his flowers, a young man went inside. “How many roses can I get for only five dollars, Madam?” he asked. The assistant was trying to tell him roses were as expensive as forty dollars a dozen（一打）. Maybe he would be happy with carnations（康乃馨）.

“No, I have to have red roses.” He said, “My mum was badly ill last year and I didn’t get to spend much time with her. Now I want to get something special, it has to be roses as rose is her favorite.”

After hearing it, John said he would pay the rest of the money for the young man. Moved by both of them, the assistant said, “Well, lovely young man, thirty dollars a dozen, only for you.” Taking the roses, the young man almost jumped into the air and ran out of the shop. It was well worth twenty-five dollars. John paid to see the exciting moment. Then John paid for his dozen of roses and told the assistant to send them to his mother.

As he walked out, he felt nice. Suddenly he saw the young man crossing the street and going into a park. But soon he realized it was not a park but a ceremony（墓地）. Crying, the young man carefully laid the roses, “Mum, oh Mum, why didn’t I tell you how much I loved you? God, please help me find my mum and tell her I love her.”

Seeing this, John turned and quickly walked to the shop. He would take the flowers home himself.

【1】John spent ______________ altogether（总共）in the flower shop that day.

A.$5 B.$25 C.$75 D.$55

【2】The assistant tried to ask the young man to buy carnations instead of roses because ____________.

A.carnations were nicer than roses B.John wanted to buy roses

C.roses were more expensive than carnations D.carnations smelt good

24、   My father woke me up early one summer morning when I was fourteen and said: “Get up, you’re going with me to cut the grass in the garden.”

The idea that my father thought I was old enough to help him in his business (生意) made me feel proud (骄傲) and excited. From sunrise to sunset, my father, my younger brother and I worked in the large garden, in a rich part of Atlanta, Georgia. By the end of the day I was too tired to say a word but I felt good. This was my first time to help my father in his business. I got $ 6 for my work that day.

One day my father found some leaves I had missed and pulled me aside. “Take away these leaves!” he said seriously, “and don’t make me have to tell you to do it again.” The message was clear. Today I still value（珍视） it , which my father gave to me that day. It will always be helpful to impress (给……留下印象) the person you are working for.  

After two years, I left home and went to another town to start my new life. Luckily for me, I quickly found a job to wash dishes in a restaurant. Every morning, I set off early, always with the same strong wish I got long long ago. I felt like I was old enough to be independent and make a living by myself.

In fact, washing dishes was not exciting, but that didn’t matter. It taught me that any job was a good job and whatever I got from the job was more than I had before. I could learn something meaningful from every job and do it better and better. One day, a newspaper reporter once asked me how someone could possibly live with hard work and low pay. “If you only think about hard work and money, answered.

In every job, from cutting the grass to washing dishes, I’ve learned much. I’ve learned something that helps me in my next job.

A.you will stay away from your family. B.you will live a hard life

C.you probably don’t want to do any better than you are doing.   D.you won’t be happy in your life

A.not leaving leaves behind

B.giving no excuse for your mistakes

C.doing a good job at the very beginning

D.missing things which can be found out
