24、   It is the second-brightest object in our night sky after the moon. It is one of man's greatest scientific achievements. It's the International Space Station（ISS）that orbits（绕……运行）Earth.

Nov. 20 marks the station's 20th birthday. In 1998, the first piece of the ISS was sent into space. Since then, 230 people from 18 countries have visited it.

Five space agencies（空间站）—those of the United States, Russia, Canada, Europe and Japan—worked together to build it. Weighing about 450 tons, it contains many different parts, including labs and solar panels（太阳能板）

Generally, the ISS holds three to six people at one time. Astronauts living there work on a lot of different science projects. The ISS has hosted over 1,500 such projects, according to NASA.

But the station is becoming older. In 2011, Russia announced that the ISS will not be used in 2020 in order to prevent it from becoming dangerous "space junk". But the US later said it would use repairs to make its service life longer（to 2025）, the International Business Times reported.

The ISS costs $3-4 billion（21-28 billion yuan）each year. Many have argued that this money could be better spent improving conditions on Earth.

In February, US President Donald Trump announced plans to end support for the ISS by 2025.The US will use its money for other projects, like next-generation rockets and deep-space missions. The Washington Post reported.

What will happen to the ISS after 2025 is unknown. "There are lots of uses," former（前）astronaut Jeffrey Hoffman told NBC News. "Other ISS partners could continue scientific experiments on it. Private companies could turn it into a space hotel."

【1】What do we know about the International Space Station?

A.It's the third-brightest object in our sky.

B.It's a spacecraft where astronauts can live and work.

C.Over 450 people have visited the ISS in the past 20 years.

D.It was built to provide solar energy for other spacecraft.

【2】What does the underlined word 'it' refer to?

A.Solar panel. B.Space agency. C.Earth D.ISS.

【3】What's the main idea of Paragraph6?

A.It's costly to keep the ISS running.

B.Most people were against building the ISS.

C.It was not necessary to build the ISS.

D.The ISS has nice living conditions.

【4】What can we know from the passage?

A.No single country could have built the ISS by itself.

B.The US will stop exploring the space after 2025.

C.The ISS will become dangerous "space junk".

D.The ISS could be used as a hotel for space travelers.

25、   Monkeys seem to have a way with numbers.

A team of researchers trained three Rhesus monkeys to associate 26 clearly different symbols made up of numbers and selective letters with 0-25 drops of water or juice as a reward. The researchers then tested how the monkeys combined—or added—the symbols to get the reward.

Here's how Harvard Medical School scientist Margaret Livingstone, who led the team, described the experiment: In their cages the monkeys were provided with touch screens. On one part of the screen, a symbol would appear, and on the other side two symbols inside a circle were shown. For example, the number 7 would flash on one side of the screen and the other end would have 9 and 8. If the monkeys touched the left side of the screen they would be rewarded with seven drops of water or juice; if they went for the circle, they would be rewarded with the sum of the numbers—17 in this example.

After running hundreds of tests, the researchers noted that the monkeys would go for the higher values more than half the time, showing that they were performing a calculation(计算), not just remembering the value of each combination.

When the team studied the results of the experiment more closely, they noticed that the monkeys tended to underestimate(低估)a sum compared with a single symbol when the two were close in value—sometimes choosing, for example, a 13 over the sum of 8 and 6. The underestimation was systematic: When adding two numbers, the monkeys always paid attention to the larger of the two, and then added only a fraction(小部分)of the smaller number to it.

"This shows that there is a certain way number is represented in their brains, "Dr. Livingstone says. “But in this experiment what they're doing is paying more attention to the big number than the little one.”

【1】What did the researchers do to the monkeys before testing them?

A.They fed them. B.They named them.

C.They trained them. D.They washed them.

【2】How did the monkeys get their reward in the experiment?

A.By drawing a circle. B.By touching a screen.

C.By watching videos. D.By mixing two drinks.

【3】What did Livingstone's team find about the monkeys?

A.They could perform basic addition. B.They could understand simple words.

C.They could remember numbers easily. D.They could hold their attention for long.

【4】In which part of a newspaper may this text appear?

A.Science. B.Health. C.Education. D.Entertainment.

26、Chinese scientist Qian Xuesen, who is known as the father of China’s space technology program, died in 2009.

Qian, also known as Tsien Hsue-shen, set up the country’s first missile (导弹) and rocket research institute, which later helped to start China’s space program.

Thanks largely to Qian, China sent a man into space one of only three countries to do so.

Qian was born in 1911 in the eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou. After graduating from Shanghai Jiaotong University, he left for the United States in 1935 to study math and aviation (航空) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the California Institute of Technology.

He returned to China in 1955 and joined the Communist Party three years later. He was put to develop the country’s missiles. Qian worked hard to develop China’s first atomic bomb (原子弹) , which detonated (爆炸) successfully in 1964.

In 2007, he was named Space Technology Person of the Year for his greatest achievement on aviation. In 2008, China Central Television named Qian as one of the ten most inspiring people in China. Have you ever heard of a small planet named Asteroid 3,763 Qianxuesen? It was named after him in honor of his contribution to science.
