26、In the year 2024，NASA plans to send astronauts to the moon. It will be the first time since 1970 that humans have touched down on Earth's only natural satellite. The task will also include the first woman to travel to the moon.

NASA will have a cool new tool to help it with this task: the Unified Geologic Map of the Moon, which was released by the United States Geological survey (USGS) in April. This is a topographical (地形上的) map——that is，it shows physical features，such as the height of mountains and the depth of valleys.

The new moon map took more than 50 years to make. It started with six original maps collected by cameras attached to orbiting satellites. One camera took wide-angle pictures of the moon. The other made topographical pictures by shooting laser at the moon's surface. Then all those pictures were laid on top of the map scans. With the pictures pieced together，we can see the moon's layers and tell the difference between its terrains(地形).

There are ancient highlands which were made when asteroids(小行星) crashed into the moon. They show up on the map in bright yellow. There are low-lying lava plains (熔岩平原) which formed when volcanoes erupted from 10 million to a million years ago. These show up as warm reds and pinks.

USGS geologist James Skinners the map is still not detailed enough to let NASA scientists decide whether a particular spot would make a good landing site，but it is a good foundation for their next studies.“Everything can be improved upon，”James adds.

【1】What does NASA plan to do in 2024?

A．Go back to the moon

B．Restart the Apollo missions

C．Release a new map of the moon

D．Send female astronauts to the moon

【2】What do we know about the Unified Geologic Map of the Moon?

A．It consists of six maps

B．It was designed in a3D model

C．It shows every detail of the moon

D．It was created based on old moon maps

【3】What does James Skinner think of the new moon map?

A．It should have more colors

B．It's of little value to NASA scientists

C．It's not perfect but can provide a good start

D．It's helpful in finding a landing site on the moon

【4】What would be a suitable title for the text?

A．A new way to make a moon map

B．A new aid to NASA's next moon trip

C．The last study on the moon's terrains

D．NASA's new technology of studying the moon

From exploring the past to sustaining the future, from playtime to hands-on educational STEM opportunities, this list of family-friendly museums in Los Angeles offers children of all ages the best options of discovering history, science, technology, culture, art and, most of all, fun.

The Aquarium of the Pacific

100 Aquarium Way, Long Beach 90802

This aquarium is a great place for young kids. The multi-colored fish and marine (海洋的) life are eye-catching and will delight both children and adults. Plus it’s a way to learn about animals from deep under the sea that we may never get to see up close any other way.

Battleship IOWA Museum

A visit to San Pedro wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the Battleship IOWA. This battleship is in fact a naval (海军的) museum.

28、If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, they become weak: when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that, and nobody would think of questioning this fact. 【1】When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it regularly. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chances to become strong. 【2】One of them exercises his arms and legs by playing tennis, while the other sits in a chair or a motor car all day.

If a friend complains that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is not his own fault. But if he says that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is just as much his own fault as if it was his arms or legs that were weak.【3】 But all of us can, if we have ordinary bodies and brains, improve our strength and our memory by the same means---practice.

Have you ever noticed that people who can’t read or write usually they have better memories?

【4】 Of course, this is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember dates, time, names, songs and stories; so their memory is being exercised the whole time.

【5】

A．What do you think of it ?

B．Yet many people do not seem to know that the memory works in the same way.

C．Not all of us can become extremely strong or extremely clever.

D．So if you want a good memory, practice remembering.

E．Someone else says that he is poor in health.

F．Why is this?

G．The position is exactly the same as that of two people

29、   I feel in love with the little free Library concept years ago on vacation. The concept of free literature-sharing boxes being posted in neighborhoods and public spaces hooked me. For a booklover, this represented great joy. At home, my bedside table sprouts books and from the floor rises mountainous to-be-read pile. My husband wasn’t the least bit surprised when I suggested starting our own Little Free Library.

The following winter, my husband built a copy of our Irish garden shed with a framed glass door on the front and, in the spring, fixed it on a post in front of our house. We filled the shelves with books and since then, visitors have refilled them with literary fiction, romances, mysteries, science fiction, cowboy westerns, young-adult fiction, poetry, self-help and a range of other nonfiction.

For a time after COVID-19 first struck, public libraries shut down and Amazon firstly considered the delivery of essential and high demand items. Books were less easily gained. Traffic to our library increased. I posted reminders about hand washing. and still, readers kept coming.

We wondered if we should close the Little Free Library and revisited our original motivations for hosting it: to promote the exchange of books, to create a sense of community. Reading provides the necessary relief to the emotional stress of life. With this in mind, we added a written reminder on staying safe in the library.

Through my teens, reading transported me to other places and eras. Books taught me about life and how people overcame difficulties. I no longer felt alone in the things I struggled against.

Aside from the entertainment books offer, studies show that reading exposes us to other cultures and perspectives. Literature sheds light on the justice to be found in social inclusion and community focus. Self-esteem and understanding grow in equal measure as we come to understand ourselves and our place in the world.

During this pandemic, the Little Free Library has strengthened the importance of literature and reading to our emotional and mental health. It’s become an alternative means of creating a community of people with mutual regard for humanity and the written word. We are together even when apart.

【1】What is the husband’s attitude toward building the Little Free Library?

A．Supportive.

B．Negative.

C．Indifferent.

D．Doubtful.

【2】What happened to the author’s Little Free Library during the pandemic?

A．It was no longer allowed to be used.

B．The number of books dropped sharply.

C．It was getting more popular than before.

D．Hand washing stopped readers coming.

【3】How did reading influence the writer?

A．She faced difficulties bravely.

B．She knew how to start a library.

C．She managed to live a healthy life.

D．She moved from one place to another.

【4】Why did the writer start the Little Free Library?

A．To keep away from loneliness.

B．To create a sense of community.

C．To stay safe during the pandemic.

D．To attract readers to donate books.

31、短文填空

American High School Life

On August 26, 2016, I was a 【1】 to begin my freshman year in an American high school. G 【2】 up in Beijing, I needed to deal with and overcome several difficulties. Fortunately, there are detailed instructions for students to follow step by step, from enrollment (登记注册) to the academic program.

Each semester, the school holds an orientation (培训) for transfer students. We thought that would be the p 【3】 time for us to learn more about the school. The a 【4】 we take part in included getting to know your campus, finding your classrooms and learning how to read the bulletin board. The biggest difference is that the students change classrooms for each subject. From Monday to Friday, the schedule also changes. Every student has different classes from the o 【5】 depending on their electives. Do you think that’s c 【6】? I had thought it might be difficult, but actually I had no problem after the first week. Each day, students a 【7】  seven classes. They have five minutes to get from one class to another. Because the hallways are so packed, they often push one another o 【8】 of their way to make it in time.

At first I k 【9】 avoiding attention, but I realized that I’d been anxious for no reason. High school was anything b 【10】 a horrible place. Now I am finding my way despite the language barrier and looking forward to a great school year.
