24、This year marks the 20th anniversary (周年纪念) of China’s first manned space task, with Yang Liwei becoming the first Chinese astronaut to go to space. Since then, another 17 astronauts have reached for the stars. The choice of the fourth generation (代) of astronauts began in 2022 and is now in full swing. Experts showed how difficult the training is before astronauts can rise to space.

“To make sure that Chinese astronauts accomplish their tasks and return to Earth safely, eight kinds, including over 200 subjects of training, were set,” Huang Weifen, leading designer of the astronaut system for China’s manned space project, told CCTV News. Apart from physical fitness training, it also includes basic scientific knowledge, health, and so on.

Among the training subjects, the most tiring one is underwater training. This training is designed for astronauts to get used to the microgravity (微重力) environment in space. According to Huang, astronauts stay underwater in suits weighing over 100 kilograms for six hours at a time. Water resistance (阻力) and the heavy suit make every move tiring. “Nie Haisheng once reported he lost two kilos after one under-water training exercise,” said Huang. Each astronaut receives training for at least three and a half years before having the chance to go to space.

Chinese astronauts also require language and cultural training to have better communication with their international partners. Their strong mind and hard work have made China a great player in the space race, and they continue to encourage future generations to reach for the stars.

【1】Which word is close to the underlined word “accomplish”?

D．Receive.

【2】How does the writer show the hard work of underwater training?

A．By listing numbers and telling a story.

B．By listing a fact and giving an example.

C．By answering a question and listing a fact.

D．By giving an example and comparing with others.

C．The rapid development of Chinese space field.

D．The future training plans of Chinese astronauts.

25、Masks mark a hero

What is a hero? We may think of the fictional characters with supernatural powers or great people who can influence world events. Now, as the nation continues its all-out efforts to fight against the novel coronavirus pneumonia (新冠肺炎), medical staff have become heroes in the eyes of the public.

As of Feb 19, a total of 32,000 medical staff outside Hubei province have been working to treat patients around the center of the outbreak.

Zhang Dingyu, the president of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, is one of these heroes. Since the hospital received the first seven patients in December, Zhang has been so busy that he barely gets any sleep. Even suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (肌萎缩侧索硬化), the 56-year-old doctor is doing his best to quicken his pace to save precious time for infected patients.

“I have to run, racing against time to save more patients from the deadly disease, because I don’t have much time left in my life,” Zhang told Xinhua News Agency.

With the duty of saving lives, many medical professionals like Zhang have been working long hours for days, despite their fear and worries.

Lu Jingjing from Wuhan Children’s Hospital also works at a temporary mobile hospital. She does not let her parents know that she is now working with novel coronavirus-infected patients.

When her parents ask for a video chat, Lu says she is working and lets her husband and children chat with them instead.

“It’s dangerous but we should win the battle with the virus as soon as possible, so that medical staff and patients can go back home,” she told China Daily.

US writer Khalil Gibran (1883—1931) once wrote, “Tenderness (温柔) and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair (绝望), but the manifestations of strength and resolution.” It’s true for the medical workers.

Everyone has fear, especially when it comes to deadly diseases. But for medical staff, saving lives comes first and is enough for them to be brave and stay on the front. They may look like ordinary people in daily life, but in these extraordinary (不同寻常的) times, they are heroes.

【1】What do we learn from Zhang Dingyu’s words?

A．He wants to help as many patients as possible.

B．His illness makes him work without fear.

C．He feels sorry for himself because of his illness.

D．His illness has turned him into an impatient man.

【2】Why doesn’t Lu Jingjing answer her parents’ video calls?

A．She is too busy and has no time for video chats.

B．There is no network signal at the temporary mobile hospital.

C．It’s not allowed to make a video call from the hospital.

D．She doesn’t want her parents to worry about her.

【3】What is the author’s main purpose in writing this article?

A．To praise medical staff for their efforts to fight the NCP.

B．To explain what makes a modern-day hero.

C．To describe what measures China has taken to deal with the virus.

D．To show the difficulties faced by the medical staff treating NCP patients.

27、   There was a businessman who was deep in debt(债务) and could see no way out. He sat on a park bench, head in his hands.

Suddenly, an old man appeared before him. “I can see that something is troubling you,” he said. After listening to the businessman’s story, the old man wrote out a check(支票), and put it in his hand, saying, “Take it and pay me back here exactly one year from today.” Then he turned and disappeared as quickly as he had come.

The businessman saw in his hand a check for $500,000, signed by John D. Rockefeller, one of the richest men in the world.

“I can pay off my debts in a second!” he realized. But instead, the businessman decided to put the check in his safe(保险箱). Just knowing it was there might give him the power to save his business, he thought.

He went back and worked hard to make his business successful. Within several months,  he was out of debt and making money once again.

Exactly one year later, he returned to the park with the check. At the agreed-upon time, the old man appeared. Behind the old man was a nurse. The nurse spoke to the businessman and said that the old man was mentally ill and was always telling people he was John D. Rockefeller.

The businessman was shocked to hear this. All year long he’d been buying and selling, believing that he had half a million dollars behind him.

28、Read the passage and fill in the blanks with suitable words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺。每空格限填一词首字母已给）

Each Indian tribe（部落） had different language. Many Indians never learned any language e【1】 their own. Do you know how Indians from different tribes talked to each other？They had two ways to talk without sound. One way was by sign language; the other was by signals.

Sign language is way talking by signs. Indians used it when they met strangers. In this way, they could find out w【2】 the stranger was a friend or an enemy. Indians usually used signals when they wanted to send messages to someone far away. To make signals, an Indian might use a pony（小马）. He might use a blanket. Or he might use smoke, a mirror or fire arrows.

To signal that he had seen many animals, an Indian r【3】 his pony in a large circle. Sometimes the Indian gave a signal like this and then went away to hide. This meant that there was danger.

The blanket signal was visible from far away. An Indian held two c【4】 of a blanket in his hands. Then he began to swing the blanket from side to side in front of him. An Indian could send many different signals with his blanket.

He could also send many signals with a mirror to w【5】 someone of danger or to get the attention of a person far away. But he also used it to send message in code. Of course, mirrors could be used o【6】 when the sun was shining. At night, Indians use fire arrows for signaling.

An Indian also sent signals with smoke. He made a small fire of dry wood. Then he put grass or green branches on it. He held a blanket over the fire for a minute. When her r【7】  the blanket from the fire, there was a cloud of smoke. The number of clouds of smoke told his message in code.

Now you can see that Indians didn’t need to learn each other’s language. They could talk to one another by using signals or sign language.

He was a kind-hearted man, he always ______ his fish with his neighbors because they didn’t know how to fish. One day, he thought that it would be great if he taught them how to fish. So he called them together to show them how to fish. Everyone was happy as they could______ the fish they caught by themselves.

Now, there are still many poor people in the world. But it’s not good if we give only_____to them. Instead, we should give them a chance to learn new skills.
