The year of Rabbit is coming. Maybe it’s the best time to talk about the lovely animal in the eyes of different culture. 1.让我们一起来分享一些关于兔子的有趣的事情吧。

In China

Rabbits are quiet but smart, which is shown by the Chinese expression “dongru tuotu”. The fairy tale about Jade (玉) Rabbit living on the moon is spread widely. Another fact is that rabbits can give birth to many baby rabbits at a time. 2 .So in ancient China, it’s common sense that the more children you had, the luckier you would be. The belief made the rabbit a popular symbol of good luck.

In the West

In the West, rabbits are regarded as a kind of lucky animals. 3. If a hunter can catch a rabbit, it’s also a sign of good luck. Another tradition for good luck found in North America and the UK is to say the word “rabbit” on the first morning of every month. 4 .Rabbits also show up in other areas of western culture. It’s a rabbit that Alice follows in the story of Alice in Wonderland. Rabbits are related to Easter. Although the animal appears in many different places, it’s always seen as an animal to be welcomed.

So with it now being the lucky animal’s turn on the Chinese zodiac (生肖),5.我们相信兔年也会给你带来运气和幸福。

26、

On Nov. 16, seven astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) woke up to an alarm(警报). A Russian missile(导弹) test had just bombed a satellite into more than 1,500 pieces of space debris (残骸). Some got very close to the ISS.

NASA says space debris like this can travel at more than 28,000 km/h. That’s much faster than a bullet(子弹) (about 3,500 km/h). Even a pea-sized piece of debris could “wipe out” a space station or kill an astronaut if he or she is doing a spacewalk, says Live Science.

Since the 1950s, humans have sent thousands of rockets and satellites into space. Many are still there, and we now face an ever-increasing problem of space rubbish. In 2006, for example, National Geographic reported that a tiny piece of space rubbish hit the ISS, taking a small piece of glass out of a window. In June of this year, a piece of debris ran into one of the station’s robotic arms, which are just like the arms of a robot, and left a hole.

Scientists are trying different ways to deal with the problem. One way is to use a huge net. In 2018, the UK’s Survey Space Center caught some space rubbish with a net in an experiment. It first found the debris, and then collected it with a net and a harpoon(鱼叉).

Another way is to use robotic arms. Clear Space 1, the European Space Agency’s task to clean space rubbish, is going to be sent into space in 2025. It will use robotic arms to catch debris. This plans to throw the debris into Earth’s atmosphere(大气层), where it will burn up as it falls because of strong friction(摩擦).

【1】According to NASA, space debris moves ________ as fast as a bullet.

A．eight times

B．nine times

C．seven times

D．six times

【2】The best ways to deal with space debris is ________ according to the article.

a. throwing it away into the planet

b. throwing it into the sun to burn up

c. collecting it with nets and harpoons

d. throwing it into Earth’s atmosphere to burn up

A．ad

B．cd

C．ab

D．bd

【3】What can we infer from Paragraph 3—4?

A．There is nothing we can do to deal with space debris.

B．The astronauts are quite safe in space even there is space debris.

C．More and more tasks are failing because we don’t want to cause space rubbish.

D．Thousands of old rockets and satellites are turning into space rubbish for years.

27、

A. 22nd, January. B. 23rd, January.

28、阅读短文，根据语篇要求填空，使短文通顺、意思完整。每空限填一词。

Once there was a young camel who asked his mother many questions, as all children naturally do.

“Mother, why 【1】 we have a hump (驼峰) on our backs?” he asked.

His mother replied, “My child, these humps prevent hunger and thirst as we go on long journeys through the dry desert.”

“But mother, could you please tell me 【2】 we have long eyelashes (睫毛)?” he continued.

“Oh, son, those are to keep the sand in the desert from hurting our eyes during sandstorms. This protection allows us 【3】 continue traveling.” his mother answered patiently.

“And what about our strange feet?” he asked.

“They prevent our legs 【4】 sinking (下沉) into the soft sand. This lets us walk more easily and quickly,” his mother replied.

The child thought for 【5】 while. Then he said, “I see. The hump is to prevent hunger and thirst when we are in the desert, the legs are for walking through the desert and these eyelashes protect our eyes from the desert. So why are we in this zoo?”
