21、   Can you be hit by a bullet and keep on fighting, or escape from a bomb explosion? Let's take a look at some actions in big-budget movies in summer vacation.

Survive nearby explosions

The scene: A bomb explodes nearby but the hero escapes unharmed.

The science: Powerful explosion produces quickly expanding gas travelling faster than the speed of sound. Although this big wave lasts just a few milliseconds, it can cause hidden injuries whose effects may not become obvious for several days.

No one, except the most extreme terrorists, plans to be near a bomb, so mostly, survival comes down to good fortune — the size and type of the bomb and your distance from it.

Is it possible? Stand too close and no one is going to walk away from an explosion

unharmed. Not even Iron Man.

Fight on after being shot

The scene: The bad man is shot several times, but just keeps on going.

The science: Travelling at a speed of well over 250 meters per second, bullets are full of energy, much of which is transferred to the unlucky goal. High-speed, high-calibre（口径）bullets are likely to floor a man. Smaller, slower bullets can pass straight through a body, and because skin and tissue are elastic（弹性的），the hole may close up.

Whether or not you fall or escape also depends on where you are hit. A shot to the spine（脊柱）or head will stop you in your track. But if the bullet misses vital organs, you may be able to keep going, for a while at least.

Is it possible? If your vital organs don't take a hit, you may be able to keep going, but not for long. If the bullet does floor you, blood loss finally will.

Fall from a building

The scene: A hero falls from a high building and survives.

The science: It is not the fall that kills you, but the sudden stop at the end. In the movies, falls are commonly slowed by trees, power lines, roofs and the like. Dividing one big fall into many smaller ones slows your fall, reducing the force of impact and increasing the chance of survival.

For the same reason, what you land on is also important.

How you hit the ground also influences whether or not you survive.

Is it possible? Possible but unlikely. Survival is somewhat relative. You can have a good chance to survive, but that doesn't mean you can jump up and run around. Brain injury, broken bones and chest wound are common.

【1】What does the underlined part mean in the last paragraph?

A.One might die, but his relatives will live well.

B.It is hard to say one is dead or still alive only by judging from his breath.

C.A man is still breathing, but some organs can not function well as a normal person.

D.Whether an actor can survive or not largely depends on his professional performance.

【2】This article probably comes from a   .

A.story book B.science fiction

C.movie review D.movie magazine

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

A.The Science of Summer Movies B.The Background of Summer Movies

C.How to Take the Three Shots D.How to Survive the Three Scenes

【4】What can be inferred from the text?

A.As long as one stands far enough away from a bomb he can be safe and unharmed.

B.The hole caused by a bullet in one's body can be treated as nothing has happened at all.

C.Either a hit on spine or a huge blood loss will immediately send you down on the floor.

D.One might be only slightly injured if he falls from a 5-storey building and lands on a soft mud.

22、   Fancy your own satellite? Arizona State University is working towards making this a reality with its SunCube FemtoSat project. Smaller than a standard CubeSat, the low-cast student-designed spacecraft is aimed at providing greater access to space for scientists and hobbyists alike.

Assistant professor Jekan Thanga and a team of students have been developing the SunCube FemtoSat for the past two years. The small 3×3×3cm cube weighs in at just 35g and a longer (3×3×9cm, 100g) model has also been designed, which includes storage space.

Each SunCube FemtoSat has its own communication, data collection and propulsion (推进) systems and is powered by solar panels. It is made of off-the-shelf parts that are available in shops, and the energy-efficient solar panels are cut from scrap (碎片), which makes it save energy, sold at a discount by manufacturers. “With a spacecraft of this size, any university can do it,” says Thanga. “That’s part of our major goal—space discovery for everybody.”

The team says that while launching your own satellite would usually cost between US $ 60,000-70,000 per kilo, it would only cost $ 1,000 to send a SunCube FemtoSat to the International Space Station, and $ 3,000 to send it into low earth orbit. Leaving the earth’s gravity would cost an estimated $ 27,000.

The FemtoSat would be packed with a “jack in the box” style system that matches standard CubeSat sizes (around 10 cubic cm), simplifying the process of getting the tiny satellite into orbit. NASA has sent 30 CubeSats into space over the last years, with another 50 awaiting launch.

Thanga and his staff view the FemtoSat as a starting point for scientists and students, and even hope the device could be bought on the website like Amazon one day. Thanga imagines developing four main applications for the device, including hands-on testing experiences for students, and artificial gravity experiments. In addition, groups of SunCube FemtoSats could eventually be able to do the job of larger spacecraft at a vastly discounted cost.

【1】What is the major goal of the SunCube FemtoSat project?

A.To act on teaching in outer space. B.To provide access to spacecraft design.

C.To help carry out a classroom experiment. D.To help average individuals explore space.

【2】What is special about SunCube FemtoSats?

A.They are of the same size. B.They are energy-efficient.

C.They are mainly designed for lab use. D.They are mainly used to collect information.

【3】What does Thanga expect of SunCube FemtoSats?

A.They’ll be available online. B.They’ll be provided for free.

C.They’ll match the size of CubeSats. D.They’ll be sent into space with CubeSats.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A.FemtoSats Will Rule Space B.Your Own Satellite Is Coming

C.Going into Space Has Been Afforable D.You can Design Your Own Spacecraft

23、The Guide to Riding a San Francisco Cable Car

24、The earth has many mysteries for people to explore and we live on the earth for protection. Did you know that the earth has two North Poles? There’s the geographic North Pole, which never changes. And there’s the magnetic North Pole, which is always on the move. Over the past 150 years, the magnetic North Pole has casually wandered 685 miles across northern Canada. But right now it’s racing 25 miles a year to the northwest. This could be a sign that we’re about to experience something humans have never seen before: a magnetic polar flip. And when this happens, it could affect much more than just your compass.

Right now on the surface of the planet; it looks like it’s just a bar magnet. Our compasses are just pointing to one pole at a time because there’s mainly a two-pole system. But sometimes, the earth doesn’t just have a single magnetic North and South Pole. Evidence suggests that, for hundreds to thousands of years at a time, our planet has had four, six, and even eight poles. This is what has happened when the magnetic poles flipped in the past. And when it happens again, it won’t be good news for humans.

Now you might think, eight poles must be better than two. But the reality is that multiple magnetic fields would fight each other. This could weaken the earth’s protective magnetic field by up to 90% during a polar flip.

The earth’s magnetic field is what protects us from harmful space radiation which can damage cells and cause cancer. With a weaker field in place, some scientists think this could expose planes to higher levels of radiation, making flights less safe.

This could also disrupt the internal sense of direction in many animals that use the magnetic field for navigation. Even worse, it could make certain places on the planet too dangerous to live in. But what exactly will take place on the surface is less clear than what will undoubtedly happen in space.

Satellites and space missions will need extra shelter that we’ll have to provide ourselves. Without it, intense universal and solar radiation will fry circuit boards and increase the risk of cancer in astronauts.

【1】Which of the following can best describe the earth’s magnetic field?

A．The protective umbrella of humans.

B．The navigation of satellites.

C．The center of the universe.

D．The focus of scientific research.

【2】What will some animals be faced with when the magnetic poles flip?

A．Being unable to find directions exactly.

B．Bearing very loud noise day and night.

C．Losing the ability to hunt for food.

D．Being unable to protect themselves from danger.

【3】What can we learn from the text?

A．Astronauts are more likely to suffer from cancer.

B．The magnetic North Pole is moving faster than before.

C．There are always more than two magnetic poles on the earth at a time.

D．Flights aren’t allowed to travel as usual when the magnetic poles flip.

【4】What may be the best title for the text?

A．How and when will the poles flip?

B．The reasons why scientists research poles

C．What will happen when the poles flip?

D．The ways that scientists research poles

26、请阅读下面文字，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章

On March 30, 2020, the Ministry of Education announced that the national college entrance examination, or gaokao, would be held on July 7 and 8, which is usually held on June 7 and 8.

WangHui, director of the ministry’s Department of College Students Affairs, said the postponement is mainly to ensure the fairness of the exam. As senior high school students have been taking online courses during the epidemic(流行病), many rural students who lack internet access might feel disadvantaged, so the delay is to ensure they will have more time to prepare for the exam at school, he said.

This is the first time in 17 years that China has adjusted the date of the college entrance examination.

According to the announcement, standard Chinese language and mathematics tests will be on July 7, which are mandatory exams for all students.

On the morning of July 8, students would either take the test for social sciences (history, political science and geography) or natural sciences (physics, chemistry and biology), depending on their high-school subjects. Foreign language shall be the final subject .

Further arrangements will be announced to the public later.

The examination postponement could be regarded as an adjustment due to the coronavirus oufbreak, said Li Jiasheng, a senior high school teacher at Beijing No.4 High School, the Paper reported.

“It gives us more time to make up for the suspension of class due to the outbreak.”he added.
