Sea cucumbers are strange animals living at the bottom of the sea. They wear brown or pale green coats with many sticks up. When summer comes, they stay deep to sleep because they are afraid of the heat. And when it is autumn, they move to shallow(浅的) water and get their food.

22、   Do you know Venus(金星)? Of the eight planets, Venus is the nearest one to us. Venus was the Roman goddess of love and beauty. In Greek, her name was Aphrodite. Venus and the Earth are almost the same size, and you would weigh almost the same on both planets. If you were 70 pounds on Earth, you would be 63 pounds on Venus. Venus is an "unfriendly" planet. Because of its thick clouds, you can't see the surface(表面). In many ways, Venus is like the Earth. It has active volcanoes (火山), mountains and valleys, too. But Venus is too hot for life. It has the highest temperature of the planets in our solar system, about 480°C. Besides, the Earth lets heat out through volcanoes and hot springs. But Venus lets heat out in a different way. Venus has no moons. Scientists call Venus the Earth's sister planet because Venus and the Earth are almost the same size. For a long time, most scientists thought that Venus probably had plants, animals, and possibly even human beings. However, because Venus is so hot, it is impossible for anything to live there.

23、When Jane and Billy were little, they got along well. The fights didn’t start until they were both 10 years old.

“Mom, Billy won’t give my book back!”

“It’s not yours. It’s mine!”

And so it went. Our peaceful house had turned into a war zone (战区). But we found a solution.

We talked to the kids and discussed what would happen if they argued again. We came up with a list of “punishments (惩罚)” that we would give them if they fought. But they weren’t really punishments — just nice things that we would ask them to do for each other. For example, if Jane started a fight, we would ask her to clean Billy’s room. If Billy started a fight, we would ask him to give Jane a hug.

We wrote these “punishments” on a circular board (圆形板子) with an arrow in the middle. If one of them started a fight, he/she would have to spin (转动) the board and receive the “punishment”.

This “punishment wheel” worked wonders (取得惊人成效). Soon the kids stopped arguing so often. We didn’t have to really punish them — we just had to teach them to be nice to each other.

【1】What does the underlined word “peaceful” mean?

A．Quiet.

B．Noisy.

C．Comfortable.

D．Exciting.

【2】What did the author do when her kids fought?

A．She asked them to run outside.

B．She asked them to say sorry to each other.

C．She asked them to spin the “punishment wheel”.

D．She helped the younger child argue with the older child.

【3】Why did the author use quotation marks (引号) for the word “punishments”?

A．She wanted to show the importance of the word.

B．She wanted to show that the “punishments” were not real punishments.

C．She wanted the readers to guess the meaning of the word.

D．She was not sure if the word is correct.

【4】With the “punishments”, the author wanted to teach the kids that ________.

A．fighting was not a game

B．there were no real punishments in life

C．they should be nice to each other

D．fighting was bad for both sides

【5】What’s the best title for the passage?

A．Brother and Sister

B．A Smart Mom

C．Stop Arguing

D．The Punishment Wheel

24、   Superhero movies and TV shows are very popular today. A new study shows something is missing from superhero stories, though. Most popular superheroes are men. The new study says kids want to see more superheroes who are women.

The study was done by two groups. One is the Women's Media Center. The other is BBC America. The Women's Media Center is a charity（慈善）group. It fights for fair treatment（待遇）of women in things like TV and movies. BBC America is a TV channel.

More than 2,000 people took part in the study. Some were kids aged from 10 to 19. Others were the parents of younger children.

Not Enough Strong Woman Characters

The study shows that most girls feel there are not enough female role models in entertainment（娱乐）. They think there should be more strong female characters. They want to see superheroes that look like them. Boys answered questions in the study, too. Most agreed with the girls. They want to see more female superheroes, like Wonder Woman.

Julie Burton runs the Women's Media Center. She said TV and movies had to make changes. They must provide more role models for girls. Female characters should reflect（反映）girls of all different backgrounds, she said. It is important for all to see people who look like them in entertainment.

Helping Girls Feel More Brave and Confident

Burton said seeing strong female characters is important for girls. It helps them build confidence. These characters give girls someone to look up to, she explained. This can inspire girls. It can also help them to feel brave.

Sarah Barnett agrees. She runs BBC America. "If you can't see her, you can't be her," Barnett said.

The study asked girls how they feel when they see powerful female characters on screen. The results were interesting. They showed that seeing female characters has a big effect on girls. Boys like seeing male superheroes on screen. But the study showed the effect on boys was smaller. Maybe that is because seeing male superheroes is pretty common. Female superheroes are rarer. Seeing them is more exciting.

More Women in Entertainment

The report is a part of a new plan at BBC America. It is called #Galaxy Of Women. The goal is to improve how women are shown in entertainment.

The study came out the day after BBC America started a new season of "Doctor Who". It is a popular science fiction show. The Doctor is an alien（外星人）who can travel through time and change bodies. Twelve different actors have played the Doctor since the show started in 1963. This season, the Doctor is a woman, played by Jodie Whittaker. This is the first time the Doctor has been played by a woman.

【1】What can we learn from the passage?

A.The study was done by Men's Media Center and BBC.

B.There are enough women superheroes in entertainment.

C.Julie Burton believes TV and movies need to make changes.

D.More than 2,000 kids aged from 10 to 19 took part in the study.

【2】What do the underlined sentences mean? Maybe that is because _________.

A.male superheroes are strong, and female superheroes are pretty.

B.there are more chances to see male superheroes compared to female ones.

C.seeing male superheroes is more exciting than seeing female superheroes.

D.it is less likely to see male superhero characters than female ones on screen.

【3】Why did BBC America start the #Galaxy Of Women?

A.To make sure there was a woman Doctor on screen.

B.To better the way women appeared on TV and films.

C.Because BBC America had a new plan and it was a part of it.

D.Because the new season of science fiction "Doctor Who" was popular.

【4】What's the best title for the passage?

A.Is It Good to See Superheroes? B.More Superheroes, More confidence

C.More Strong Female Characters or Not? D.Science Fiction and Women Characters
