26、There’s no doubt that one of the greatest human achievements is the exploration of the space. Ever since astronaut Yuri Gagarin became the first person to be sent into the orbit around the moon in 1961, scientists have been pushing the boundaries further and further. But until now the exploration into the unknown has been dominated (主导) by men.

Of course, in the past, women were also included in the space projects and played an active role on the ground and behind the scenes. For example, they worked as seamstresses (女裁缝师), sewing vital spaceflight components. In fact, many of NASA’s key works would never have been possible without them. Recently Hollywood produced a movie called Hidden Figures to focus on a group of American female mathematicians, especially the black women, who helped NASA send the first American into space. But this was not women’s only contribution. Back in 1963, Soviet astronaut Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman to be sent into space. However, after that, space flight programs were slow to employ women. In the USA. NASA didn’t accept applications from women to become astronauts until 1978.

But attitudes have changed and leading officials at NASA say that the first person to set foot on Mars should be a woman. The space agency aims to have a sex-balanced workforce but can only achieve that if equal numbers of men and women are trained for science and technology jobs. As Allison McIntryre told the BBC, “My director is a woman. We have female astronauts. We haven’t put a woman on the moon yet. And I think that perhaps the first person to step on Mars should be a woman.”

【1】What did Yuri Gagarin do in 1961?

A．He landed on the moon in success.

B．He discovered many new boundaries.

C．He led scientists to explore the moon.

D．He made the first journey into the space.

【2】Why does the author mention the film Hidden Figures?

A．To show women are the true heroes of NASA’s first launch.

B．To stress that black people have won equal rights in NASA.

C．To prove women can do as well as men in NASA’ projects.

D．To present women’s contributions to NASA’s space programs.

【3】What is Allison McIntryre’s attitude toward women astronauts?

A．Uncaring.

B．Disapproving.

C．Supportive.

D．Disappointed.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Will the First Person to Step on Mars Be a Woman?

B．Great Achievements Have Been Made in Space Exploration?

C．Why Men Played an Important Role in Exploring the Unknown?

D．Men and Women Have Made Equal Contributions to NASA’s Projects?

27、   The World Health Organization(WHO)says it is possible to defeat the disease malaria （疟疾）,although that is not likely to happen with the current methods.

Pedro Alonso, directing the United Nations agency's global malaria program, says the WHO wants to eradicate(根除）the disease but “with the tools we have today, it is most unlikely that the goal will be achieved.”

Malaria infected around 219 million people in 2017, when about 435,000 people died from the disease. The large majority were babies and children in the poorest areas of Africa. These totals little changed from 2016.But the numbers are smaller than the 239 million infections and 607,000 deaths reported in 2010.Diallo is head of the RBM Partnership to End Malaria. The group released a statement from him on the WHO report, saying, “Today, there are more countries without malaria than with it, and more countries than ever have fewer than 10,000 malaria cases.”

WHO officials have long wanted to destroy malaria. The United Nations agency first attempted a campaign against the disease in 1955.Now, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is providing financial support for the latest efforts.

There are a number of drugs available to successfully treat malaria. Sleeping under chemically-treated bed nets has proven to be effective in order to control malaria-carrying mosquitoes and infections. The drug company GSK has also developed a vaccine that has proven partially effective against malaria. The vaccine is currently used in Ghana and Malawi. But the WHO's report says these tools will not be enough to end the threat from malaria altogether. It calls for research and development of“transformative tools and knowledge” to control mosquitoes and create more effective medicines to prevent and treat the disease.

【1】How many people suffered from malaria in 2016?

A.Diallo feels worried about how to defeat malaria.

B.Malaria is a common disease in many countries.

C.WHO is in great need of financial support nowadays actually.

D.Humans have made great achievement in fighting with malaria.

【3】What can we know about the vaccine from GSK in the opinion of the WHO?

A.It can help effectively cure malaria.

B.It needs to be further developed.

C.It can kill mosquitoes in a short time.

D.It almost has no impact on malaria.

【4】Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A.Possible to Defeat Malaria, But Probably Not Soon

B.Drug Company GSK Determines to Defeat Malaria

C.Malaria Control the Earth Long, But is to Disappear

D.Transformative Tools and Knowledge on the Way

28、   “What's your 'Thing of the Day'?” I asked my fourteen-year-old son as he got a piece of potato onto his plate. This is a question our four kids and whichever friends are staying for supper expect to be asked each evening at suppertime. Usually, it's followed with, “Uhh... Umm... We had pizza for lunch.” And then I have to refuse the response and ask for something meaningful—either something he learned or something that happened with his friends.

But, this day, my son surprised me as he went into great detail about how he had been honestly wronged by a couple of classmates and laughed at in front of the class. I asked more questions and learned that the teachers knew the situation clearly. It had been dealt with as much as the teachers and staff were able to. It was really just a matter of kids being mean and deciding to treat someone unfairly.

I thought about the situation all night. I vacillated between contacting the teachers, contacting the parents of the classmates, and not doing anything since the story had been told to me in a matter-of-fact way—not overly excitedly.

I waited until the next day after school. On the car ride home, I questioned my son what about today after yesterday's situation. My son was honestly surprised that I brought it up again. “What? No, it's over, Mom. They're my friends. They were just being stupid. They apologized. Forgive and forget, you know? We're all good.”

I was worried that perhaps he was trying to hide his concern or sadness about the thing. But as I watched him over the next days and weeks, everything seemed “normal”. Wouldn't it be great if everyone could live the “forgive and forget” way of life?

【1】How are children's usual answers to the author's daily question?

A．Serious.

B．Interesting.

C．Valuable.

D．Meaningless.

【2】Why was the author sleepless all night?

A．Her son was made fun of unkindly.

B．Her son invited his friends to dinner.

C．Her son was punished by his teacher.

D．Her son lied to her about his mistake.

【3】What does the underlined word “vacillated” in paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．Talked to oneself.

B．Made preparations.

C．Was undecided.

D．Gave suggestions.

【4】What did the author learn from her son's experience?

A．It is good to forgive and forget.

B．It is necessary to watch her son.

C．It is difficult to understand children.

D．It is surprising for her son to apologize.

29、A fat man with a camera around his neck and a bottle of sunscreen cream sticking out of his bag, he really did look like a tourist. He sat on the terrace (平台), sipping lemonade and pretending to look at a tourism brochure. His sunglasses masked his eyes, but I knew he wasn't looking at the brochure: he hadn't turned a page for the last ten minutes. As I brought him his dishes, he coughed up a "thank you" and looked at me briefly I tried not to stare at the tiny scar across his left eyebrow.

I walked back inside with my empty tray, shaking my head. He looked familiar, but I couldn't quite place him. Then it hit me. The car accident. The mysterious stranger who helped me out of my crashed car, just before it exploded. I rushed back to his table. He was gone.

I moved his saucer and found his tip, along with a card: I am deeply grateful to you. The night of your car accident, I was on my way to rob a jewelry store. Saving your life brought things back in a right way. I now live an honest life, thanks to you. God bless you! Mr. D.

I shivered (震颤). The night of my car accident, I was heading for an interview in an illegal dance club. Seeing human kindness through his heroic gesture (英雄姿态) turned my life around and brought faith back into my life. I unfolded the tip he left. Among the singles was a grand (一千块) with a pen mark underlining "In God We Trust. "I said a silent prayer for him and got back to work, smiling.

【1】Why did the fat man look like a tourist?

A．Because he doesn't look like a native citizen.

B．Because he ordered strange food and drinks

C．Because he used money not the same as the locals.

D．Because he carried what tourists usually have on.

【2】How did the writer knew the man didn't read the brochure?

A．The page remained unturned.

B．He was drinking all the time.

D．He was staring at the writer.

30、   Most teens I meet these days lack basic social courtesy(礼仪) when dealing with people.

My own son, who basically _______ with his grandmother, the original manners guru(专家), has perfect table manners. This is partly because he was_________to manners at a very young age. However, when we eat at home, he would not _________manners. So I asked him why. He said, 'I behave the way I am supposed to _________ when I'm out, but when I am at home，I want to be _________.'

That's when I realized that most parents, myself included, do _______ their children the proper way to behave outside the home, but they are also _________to believe that at home, anything goes.

My _________to him was 'good behavior has nothing to do with where you are or whom you are with'.

Then he answered, 'But I behave _________when I'm with others so that they think better of me. ' And that is when I realized that I was doing things all __________. I explained to him that it had nothing to do with what people think. This __________ him even more.

So I went on to explain that behavior, whether in your everyday __________with people or at the dining table at home, is an __________ of who you are. Well, at the age of 13, he got it.

So basically, what I am saying is that teaching your children ________ comes with the underlying(暗含的) lesson that it is not about __________ to do or not to do, but rather, who they are. This way it is not __________; it comes from within.

Teach your teens or children the__________courtesy of greeting their friends' parents and __________themselves when they go to someone’s home.

Once there was a little girl named Emily. Although her singing was very pleasant to hear, lacking of courage, she never dared to sing in front of strangers.

One summer, the neighborhood where she lived would hold a singing competition. Her best friend, Lucy, came to invite her to participate in the competition, but Emily said, “ I’m afraid to take part in it.” Her mother said, “ it’s okay, just do it bravely.” Emily followed her mama’s advice and decided to give herself a try. The day came. Emily and Lucy went to the competition site. But she was too timid (胆小的) to walked onto the stage. She had been waiting until others finished singing. She shakily forced herself to stand on the stage. She started to sing, but her voice was so low. What’s worse, she was so nervous that she forget the lyrics (歌词) after singing a few words. Being laughed at by others, embarrassed and shy, she ran away from the stage.

Some naughty boys ran after her and said, “ Emily, coward (胆小鬼)! Emily, coward! ” Emily didn’t argue with them. What she wanted was to go back home as quickly as she could. Finally, she rushed into the house, hugged her mom and cried sadly.

“Well, my poor girl. Don’t cry. Tell me what happened to you.” asked her mom. Emily looked up at her mother and told her what she had experienced.

Listening to her, her mom cupped her face and said, “it doesn’t matter, girl. As long as you practice singing more in front of strangers, you will become braver little by little. So, my girl, don’t be beaten by a failure. You can go out to practice singing every day. No matter who is listening to you, go on singing and never stop. I believe there will be a harvest for you. ”
