21、The new high-speed railway line between Urumqi, capital of the Xinjiang Uygur self-governing region，and Lanzhou, capital of Gansu province，has cut train travel time by half to less than 12 hours.

The dramatic improvement will benefit many families planning reunions for Spring Festival.

“For the first time，I feel home is not that far away after all，”said Liang Shaofu as he boarded a high-speed train in Urumqi with six members of his family．

The 35-year-old left Lanzhou to set up a dry fruit business in Xinjiang eight years ago，and he has now settled in Urumqi．

The 1,776-km line, which passes through Qinghai province and is the country’s first   high-speed railway to be built in a high-altitude region, came into service on Dec 26.

“We normally drive home for Spring Festival to avoid the difficulties of buying seven train tickets for the whole family during the peak season.” Liang said. “Driving can be very tiring and dangerous sometimes，so one year we even decided not to go back to Lanzhou simply to avoid the trip.”

More than 600,000 passengers traveled on the line during its first month，and the Urumqi Railway Bureau said the introduction of high-speed services will ease transport pressure during the Spring Festival peak season.

The existing usual railway line could no longer support Xinjiang’s development. All passenger trains will gradually shift to the new link，leaving the old one to be used for goods. As a result，Xinjiang’s annual goods ability could reach 200 million metric tons from the current 70 million．

The line passes through areas that experience high winds, and it also crosses parts of the deserted Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the bone-dry sands of the Gobi Desert．

The project could help China to promote its high-speed railway technology abroad，said Ma Xi zhang, director of the Lanzhou-Xinjiang railway project’s management department in Xinjiang.

【1】How long did it take to go from Urumqi to Lanzhou by the usual train before?

A. about 12 hours   B. About 6 hours

C. About 18 hours   D. About 24 hours

【2】What’s the main advantage of the new high-speed railway?

A. It takes more time to go to Urumqi to Lanzhou.

B. It will be more convenient for people all over the country to Xinjiang.

C. All the people in Lanzhou can return home on festivals.

D. It helps to improve Xinjiang’s development.

【3】From the passage we can learn________.

A. Xinjiang’s annual goods ability can increase nearly four times

B. the new railway technology may help more railway lines to be built abroad

C. the high-speed railway lines can’t be built across the bone-dry sands

D. the old railway lines can only carry goods now

【4】Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. The new high-speed railway line is good for all people to go home.

B. The new high-speed railway line benefits businessmen to carry goods.

C. Taking the new train is safer than driving home from Urumqi to Lanzhou.

D. Businessmen seldom went home for Spring Festival before.

22、Habitat improvement and a series of protective measures have played a crucial role in the rise of the population of Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys(滇金丝猴) , one of the planet’s most endangered animals.

The Yunnan snub-nosed monkey, also known as the black-and-white snub-nosed monkey, lives in high-altitude areas at more than 3,000 meters above sea level in Southwest China’s Yunnan province and the neighboring Xizang autonomous region. About 65 percent of its population inhabits the Baima Snow Mountain National Nature Reserve.

“Currently, the reserve is home to about 3,000 Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys,” said Lai Jiandong, head of the Wildlife Protection Station at the Baima reserve. When the reserve was first established in 1983, however, the population numbered a mere 800.

Lai stresses the continuous enhancement of management levels within the Baima reserve, including the adoption of cutting-edge technologies for monitoring and protecting not only the snub-nosed monkeys but also other endangered wildlife species.

“In recent years, using technologies like infrared(红外线) cameras, we have taken pictures of rare and endangered creatures such as leopards, jackals and sambar deer,” Lai noted, emphasizing the important role of such advancements in wild animal protection.

The primary duties of the Wildlife ProtectionStation involve the daily care of the snub-nosed monkeys in the Weixi Lisu autonomous county, as well as the sheltering and rescue of injured animals. “Over the past few years, we have provided assistance to more than 200 wild animals, including Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys, pandas and macaques,” said Lai.

The Yunnan snub-nosed monkey is under China’s national first-class protection and has been listed as an endangered species on the Red List of Threatened Species of the International Union for Conservation of Nature. They will be better protected.

【1】Which isn’t a factor that contributes to the increase of the population of Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys?

A．Rising public concerns.

B．Advanced technologies.

C．Protective measures.

D．Improved living habitats.

【2】What do we learn about Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys?

A．They only live in Yunnan province.

B．Their population has dropped sharply since 1983.

C．They are well-protected by the Wildlife Protection Station.

D．Over 200 Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys have been rescued up to now.

【3】What’s the main idea of the passage?

A．People rescue many injured animals in Yunnan.

B．Infrared cameras have captured images of rare wildlife.

C．Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys increase in high mountains.

D．Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys are the most endangered animals.

【4】Where may the passage come from?

A．A textbook.

B．A newspaper.

C．An advertisement.

D．An economic journal.

23、Blue Origin’s Jeff Bezos and Virgin Galactic’s Richard Branson have dreamed of going to space since childhood. The billionaires have also been competing to become the first to launch commercial space travel. In July 2021, the two men fulfilled both quests with two separate trips to space in their respective company’s rockets. The historic flights kicked off a new era of space tourism—for anyone who can afford it.

Branson was the first to lift off aboard the VSS Unity from Virgin Galactic’s launch site in New Mexico on July 11, 2021. Upon reaching an altitude of 53.5 miles (86.1 kilometers), the spacecraft performed a slow backflip. The height was just enough for the team to experience three to four minutes of weightlessness and enjoy dramatic views of the earth’s curvature. The spacecraft then turned around and glided back through Earth’s atmosphere. It landed flawlessly at the same New Mexico runway it had taken off from, about an hour before. Branson described his first space journey as “just magical”.

Bezos’ first trip to space aboard Blue Origin’s New Shepard spacecraft — named after America’s first astronaut, Alan Shepard — was equally thrilling. The six-story-tall booster rocket carrying the crewed spacecraft blasted off from Blue Origin’s launch site in West Texas on July 20, 2021. The date marked the 52nd anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. Bezos was accompanied by his brother. Mark Bezos, 18 year-old Oliver Daemen, and 82-year-old aviation pioneer Wally Funk. The latter two made history as the youngest and oldest humans to fly to space. The autonomous New Shepard spacecraft did not require human pilots.

At an altitude of about 66 miles (106 kilometers), the excited crew unbuckled their seatbelts and enjoyed a few minutes of microgravity. Videos from inside the ship show the four doing somersaults, tossing candy, and the Bezos brothers joining their palms to display a “HI MoM” message on their hands. The capsule then began to fall and safely landed on Earth with the help of parachutes. The entire flight lasted 10 minutes and 10 seconds. The former CEO of Amazon said. “My expectations were high and they were dramatically exceeded.”

【1】What did Branson do when the spacecraft performed a slow backflip?

A．He had a walk in space.

B．He looked for the earth’s curvature.

C．He enjoyed a sense of weightlessness.

D．He went through the earth’s atmosphere.

【2】Who was the youngest during Bezos’ first trip?

A．Jeff Bozos.

B．Mark Bezos.

C．Wally Funk.

D．Oliver Daemen.

【3】How dd Wally Funk feel on his trip in space?

A．Happy.

B．Tired.

C．Nervous

D．Frightened

【4】What do the two trips have in common?

A．The travelers displayed messages.

B．The travelers enjoyed great experience.

C．The travelers were in the same company.

D．Their spacecrafts were launched at the same site.

24、Learning to set goals plays an important role as your child starts to gain independence. However, setting goals doesn't come naturally to your child, so helping him to learn the process should probably be one of your goals.

Explain the word “goal”. Your child may know what a goal is when it comes to soccer, but he may not understand what it means in everyday life. 【1】

Listen to your child. 【2】 Don't always tell him what you think. Let him talk about what he thinks he does well and what he thinks he needs to improve. If he's stuck, you can provide some examples of your own personal goals.

Help keep goals achievable. Don't throw cold water on your child. When a goal is beyond his reach, help him break it down into smaller pieces. For example, suppose your child wants to be a champion swimmer, but can't swim an entire lap of the pool yet. 【3】

【4】 Help your child write down his goals in an easy-to-follow form. Being able to see and check off the steps on the way to his goal is key in keeping him motivated. 【5】 Then, ask him to write his goal at the top and each step to that goal on the rungs (梯级). He's climbing to the top as he gets closer to his goal.

A．Make a visual goal reminder.

B．Change goals every so often.

C．A really simple way is to have your child draw a ladder on a piece of paper.

D．Ideally, you want your child to be able to decide for himself what his goals are.

E．Once he has set up a goal, he may find it very difficult to achieve it.

F．Then you can suggest he start by making that his first goal.

G．You can take sports as an example to help explain it to him.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。

An old wooden seat that Susan extremely valued often reminded her of mother’s Golden Rule.

Back in the 1930s, the country life was really tough. One day after dinner, Susan’s mother sat on the seat, announcing to the children the Golden Rule: “Treat others the way you want to be treated.” Susan reflected carefully and seriously on what her mother had said. She resolved that she would keep in mind and follow the rule.

One Saturday afternoon, she went to farmer Jason’s inn (小旅馆) to get the pay for her mother’s washing for the guests there, which amounted to five dollars. She found Jason in the yard, who, as all the villagers knew, was selfish and mean.

His eyes clouded with anger, as he had just finished a quarrel with one of his guests. He held in his hand an open wallet, full of bills. He barely noticed Susan until she made her request for the money. Instead of shouting at her, as usual, for troubling him when he was busy, he handed her a bank note.

Feeling relieved for escaping from Jason so easily, Susan hurried out of the inn. When carefully putting the money into her pocket, she discovered that Jason had given her two bills instead of one, and her first reaction was joy at the unexpected prize. She looked around and there was nobody nearby to share her discovery. “It is mine. All mine.” she said to herself. “I will buy mum a new coat with it, and she can give her old one to sister Mary, and then Mary can go to the Sunday school with me next winter. I wonder if I can buy a pair of shoes for brother Tom too.”

Just at that moment, she realized that Jason must have given the extra money to her by mistake, and therefore she had no right to own it. But a voice of temptation (诱惑) whispered, “He gave it, and you can keep it. He will never know, even if it is a mistake. ”

As Susan hurried home, this conflict went on in her mind.

Susan’s face became red with embarrassment and annoyance.
