Our trip to the Mining Museum

On Tuesday 4th April, we took a bus to travel to the Mining (矿业) Museum because we had learning about the Gold Rushes.

__【1】___. We went past some famous places such as Sydney Harbor and the Open House along the way. We also chatted to our friends about what we had seen on TV last night.

When we arrived at the Mining Museum, we were taken to a room where we stored our bags. Our guide, Alison, then introduced us to a man named Bruce Binkley who is a miner.

Mr. Binkley talked to us about how people used to look for gold. __【2】__ . It seemed simple. You get a pan, fill it with dirt and water and then swirl (旋动) it around until the big stones are washed out along with other things. Gold, being heavier, is left at the bottom.

Next, we walked upstairs to look at pictures, information and samples (样品) of gold. We filled in a worksheet about the early discoveries of gold in Australia. ___【3】_. That part was really exciting because you had to imagine that you were a miner digging for gold.

Lunch was spent in a nearby park. ___【4】__. They were yummy! We also played hide-and-seek while we were there.

__【5】___. We boarded the bus and felt very tired. Some children even slept on the bus!

It was an enjoyable trip to the Mining Museum.

24、Language is always changing and developing. This isn’t a bad thing. If English hadn’t changed for a long time, we won’t have words to describe telephones, washing machines, computers or some other new things.

Language changes for several reasons. First, it changes because the needs of its speaker change. New technologies, new products, and new experiences need new words to express them clearly. Another reason for change is that different people have different language experiences. People use different sets of words and expressions, because they have different ages, jobs, education levels(水平) and so on.

How does language develop then? On the one hand, many of the languages changes begin with young people. When young people communicate with others of their own age, their language grows in grammar, words and expressions that are different from the older people’s. Some have a short lifetime but others can influence the language for long. On the other hand, we get new words in many different ways. We borrow them from other languages, we create them by making words shorter or combining(组合) words and we make them out of proper names.

Languages that don’t change over time are considered dead languages. The fact that English changes so much shows that it is alive and well.

【1】What does the writer think of the change and development of language? He thinks it is   .

A. not a bad thing B. a terrible thing

25、   You may be able to care for your physical health by wearing a mask, washing your hands, and doing regular exercise during the coronavirus epidemic, but how do you treat your mental health? Millions of people are facing fear, anxiety and depression as lockdowns, transportation bans and quarantines (隔离期) continue.

As part of the government's "first level response", the National Health Commission said more than 300 hotlines are now available throughout China. Callers can talk with counseling (咨询) services and people from university psychology departments, Reuters reported. Depending on your location, you can call one of these 24-hour hotlines for psychological support and general advice if you're experiencing anxiety, depression or panic attacks — no matter whether you're a patient, medical worker or just someone stuck at home.

A survey conducted by the Chinese Psychology Society found that of the 18,000 people tested for coronavirus-related anxiety, 42.6 percent were anxious, according to NBC News.

"A stable state of mind can help reduce impatience and anxiety, which is helpful for treatment. Providing psychological counseling and appropriate medicine, psychiatry (心理治疗) can play an important role in the battle against the epidemic," said Chen Jun, an expert from the Shanghai Mental Health Center, on CCTV.

A healthy mind supports a healthy body. Stress weakens the immune system, according to the American Psychological Association. Managing stress may help people fight off a virus.

In addition to hotlines, online platforms and social media have also offered support to those dealing with the mental pressure of worrying about the virus. One virus-related hashtag (话题), which translates as "how to deal with feeling very anxious at home," has been viewed by hundreds of millions of Sina Weibo users.

Universities have set up support groups on QQ, while thousands of doctors provide counseling for users on JD.com. KnowYourself, a public WeChat account, hopes to reduce panic attacks to frontline medical workers, patients and their families.

"People are scared, their lives are being interrupted, so to have a voice that helps to comfort them and calm them and kind of guide them through this process can be very helpful," Paul Yin, a psychologist in Beijing, said.

Keeping a positive mindset is key during this difficult time. Remember to keep things in perspective and maintain social networks with your family and friends. Treat your mind well, and your body will follow.

【1】What can we learn about the counseling service from Paragraph 2?

A.Only patients and medical workers are offered the service.

B.Over 300 hotlines are available in every city across China.

C.It's aimed at people with coronavirus-related mental problems.

D.What kinds of counseling are being offered.

【3】Why are a Weibo hashtag and a public WeChat account mentioned in the text?

A.To prove the benefits of social media.

B.To compare the support they provide people.

C.To show where psychological support is also given.

D.To stress the negative impact of the virus on people.

【4】What does the underlined phrase "keep things in perspective" mean in the last paragraph?

26、   As we age, our ability to think and remember starts to become worse. But not everyone. Some of us are super-agers, who are over the age of 80 and have the brain of much younger people.

Scientists know that parts of the brain become smaller in size with age. But in super-agers that goes much slower. In her recent study, Emily Rogalski, a neuroscientist (神经科学家), showed that super-agers have young brains. The area of the brain for attention and memory was shown to be thicker in super-agers. “When we look at a super-ager’s brain, we see that it looks more like a 50-year-old brain than an 80-year-old one.”

Scientists say super-agers have several things in common, including an active lifestyle. Many travel and play sports. They are often big readers. And they usually have healthy relationships and spend time with friends. “Growing old,” she adds, “does not have to be depressing and sad. Perhaps, if we expect a little better from ourselves, we will understand that not all aging makes us doom and gloom (愁闷).” Rogalski jokingly said that super-agers do not grow on trees — meaning they are special and few. She says she wants to find out why a super-ager’s mind is working so well and not aging as quickly as most.

The science behind super-aging is a new, but growing field. Scientists in the research offer this advice as we age: Stay active. Learn new things. Challenge yourself. Develop healthy relationships.

【1】In Emily Rogalski's recent study, what does she find?

A.When people get older, the ability to think and remember starts to become worse.

B.Super-agers have nothing in common with each other.

C.Super-ager’s brain looks younger that it really is.

D.The area of the brain for attention and memory was shown to be thinner in super-agers.

【2】Where will you probably read this article?

A.In a math book.

B.In a love story.

C.In a health research report.

D.In a sports magazine.

【3】What can we infer from the passage?

A.Scientists haven’t found out all the secrets to super-aging.

B.Super-agers have several things in common, including an active lifestyle.

C.If people feel sad more often, they probably will live longer.

D.If a person lives longer than 100 years old, he will be very wise.

【4】Which of the following shows the writer’s idea?

A.

B.

C.

D.

27、   Sheridan is a town in Indiana, USA. There are lots of trees near the public schools in the town. Their leaves turn sunlight into energy (能量).

In Sheridan, the sun not just provides energy for plants. It keeps schools running, too. The schools use solar panels (太阳能电池板) to turn sunlight into energy.

The science behind solar energy is not new. But Sheridan Community Schools is the first school district (学区) in Indiana to be completely solar-powered. The district finished putting in solar panels for all three of its schools in 2016. Some of the panels can turn to follow the sun across the sky.

In 2008, fewer than 1,000 schools used solar power. By 2014, there were 3,727 schools with solar panels in the USA. These numbers come from a report by the Solar Foundation. Roxie Brown, a program director there, said that the number of schools with solar panels has continued to go up since 2014.

Solar energy has some advantages over other energy sources (来源). Sunlight is a renewable source, which means it won't run out. Solar panels don't harm the environment. Also, sunlight is free. So by using solar power, schools can save money on energy costs.

Brown thinks more schools should run on solar energy.“The sun is Earth's energy source,” she says. “We’re trying to make it the energy source for our houses, cars and schools, too.”

But using solar energy isn't always easy. Solar panels can be expensive to put in. The panels also take up space. But for many schools, going solar is worth it.

【1】What does the underlined word“It”refer to?

A. A plant. B. The sun.

C. A district. D. The solar panel.

【2】Sheridan Community Schools put in solar panels ________.

A. in 2008 B. for all its schools

C. with the help of the Solar Foundation D. together with other 1,000 schools in the USA

【3】According to Roxie Brown, the number of schools with solar panels ________.

A. has risen B. has fallen C. is too small D. is large enough

【4】What does the underlined word “renewable” mean in Chinese?

A. 可开发的 B. 可替代的 C. 可再生的 D. 可加工的

28、   Colours can affect moods.For example, blue has a way of 【1】（create）a peaceful and calm feeling that's because blue can slow the pulse（脉搏）and lower the body temperature.

A large number of people choose blue or green as 【2】（they）favourite colour. Green, in many people's minds, means nature, good luck or springtime. 【3】（have）some green plants in each room of a house is a nice way to make the atmosphere a little more 【4】（relax）.

Red is a colour that draws attention. It's【5】（consider）the warmest colour and often creates feelings of passion and love. But, too much red can 【6】（easy）make people angry. Don't use too much red inside your home, especially in the living room. If you love red, 【7】（think）about some red lamps.

29、   It was a cold morning, and Eduardo Ortega received a large envelope (信封). In it was his dream. But he was too nervous to _______ it.

After work every day, his tired friends drank coffee or slept. Eduardo went to the evening school. He studied, read, and wrote poems and short stories. Although he _______ some classes, he became the best student.

When he was thirteen, Eduardo _______ one of his dreams-to fly on an airplane for the first time. He wrote a poem that won a prize-a trip to San Francisco. _______ he flew, he promised himself to become a pilot. He loved to fly.

Even though Eduardo worked to help his family, his father _______ encouraged him to go to school. So, while he worked, he also studied. Many days, he thought it was _______, too tired to read his books. But his father just smiled and told him he could ________ it.
