Her husband is working abroad, and she and her son are living with her parents in peace. This is a typical(典型的) Cambodian family, where everyone lives together and everything is shared.
As an adult woman, it's Soleil's responsibility to look after the family. But on most days, she has an even more important job to do. Every afternoon, the theater that. runs the play Smile of Angkor has a rehearsal(排练) before the performance. All the local performers are required to be there. The show runs daily almost all year around. So every one of the performers knows their movements by heart. Soleil was among the first people to join the theater group and has been here almost every day for the last 13 years.
Although Soleil enjoys living with her large family, she still wants to have her own place. She and her husband just bought a new house last year. But they still don't have enough money to furnish(装修) it properly. All she wants is to give her so n a more comfortable environment to grow up in. Each performance at the theater puts her one step closer to that dream.
The play Smile of Angkor is the most famous performance in Cambodia. It is always listed as a "must-see" by tourists. Although the theater was founded by a company from China, all of the performers here are locals(当地人).
To improve the look of the performance, the theater has brought in Chinese experts to help with the stage design. So the beauty of Cambodian culture can be fully displayed.13 years of performances show the success of the efforts of Chinese people and Cambodians working hand in hand.

C、It is the most famous play in the world. D、Its performers are from the whole world.(4)、What's the meaning of underlined word "displayed"?A、put B、changed C、showed D、used28. 阅读短文,回答问题In our solar system(太阳系), some planets have a great number of moons(卫星)while some have none. Recently scientists have discovered 12 more moons going around Jupiter (木星). That means Jupiter now has a total of 92 moons, more than any other planet in our solar system.
Scott Sheppard was a member of the team that made the latest discoveries. The new moons were found using telescopes(望远镜) in Hawaii and Chile. Sheppard said, "I hope we can take clear photos of one of these moons in the near future to better understand it."
Jupiter's newly discovered moons are between one and three kilometers in size. They have not yet been named, as half of them are too small—less than 1.5 kilometers—to own a name.
Sheppard has already taken part in 70 moon discoveries for Jupiter. He also discovered moons going around Saturn(土星). It had been the planet with the most moons until the most recent announcement. It now is known to have 83moons. Saturn held the top position since 2019 when Sheppard's team discovered 20 more moons. Before that, Jupiter was the solar system's leader with 79 moons.
Sheppard expects to keep adding moons to both Jupiter and Saturn in the future. Uranus and Neptune also have many small moons. But they are much farther from Earth, so discovering new moons around those planets is more difficult.
This year, the European Space Agency has sent a spaceship to explore Jupiter. The spaceship, called JUICE, took off in April. The task is to make further research on Jupiter and its three large moons.
(1)、According to Paragraph 2, Sheppard wanted to ____ in the near future.A、get to new moons B、take clear photos of one moon C、do nothing D、study everything(2)、The new moons don't have names because ____.A、they are hard to study. B、they are newly discovered C、some of them are not big enough D、they are ugly(3)、How many of Saturn's moons were discovered before 2019?A、63 B、93 C、101 D、332(4)、What can we infer from the passage?A、It is easy to discover all moons. B、JUICE is trying to find out new planets. C、More research is being done on Jupiter. D、People all like new moons.29. 阅读短文,回答问题Looking at the undone homework on his desk always makes David Grey feel uncomfortable. More often than not, David leaves his homework behind and surfs the Internet or watches TV instead, waiting until the last minute. "But the longer 1 wait," says David, aged 15, "the more I worry."
Everyone procrastinates(拖延) because they want to feel good now. The way to do that is to avoid the task. You can procrastinate on nearly anything, even enjoyable tasks such as planning a vacation. "Some people procrastinate cleaning. Some people procrastinate by cleaning," says Professor Peter Stone. Research has shown that the top tasks young people procrastinate are studying and going to bed. "One big cause for procrastination is that people are afraid of failure (失败), of not meeting others' expectations (期待)," Stone adds.
Some people believe that procrastination will make them thrive. But researchers disagree. "I did a study several years ago, asking procrastinators to finish a task in a certain period of time," says Stone. "They did worse than non-procrastinators: they made more mistakes and they took longer. But they thought they did better." No matter what the cause is, procrastination is usually not going to be good for you. For example, bedtime procrastination can lead to sleeplessness, which in turn can cause many other health problems.
For those who need some drives to stop procrastinating, the best advice might be to take action first. If you've been procrastinating on forming a habit of exercise, just put on your walking shoes. A little bit of progress will get you moving.
Next, find something to help you remember to take action. If you want to go to bed at 10:30 pm, you might set a timed dimmer switch(渐暗开关) at 10 pm. When the lights are dimmer, you'll start going to bed. It works for most people.
Finally, reward yourself every time you make progress. For example, after you've run 3 km, enjoy your favourite ice-cream. But be careful: it won't work the other way around.
(1)、What can be the best title of this passage?A、A day of a procrastinator B、Procrastination is right. C、Say goodbye to procrastination D、Procrastination is a good habit.(2)、What is the main reason for people's procrastination?A、They want to avoid doing hard work. B、They fear to fail and let others down. C、They need to finish the top tasks first. D、They plan to do the enjoyable tasks last.(3)、The underlined word "thrive" in paragraph 3 most probably means ____.A、eat faster B、work more successfully C、fall asleep more easily D、drink too much(4)、What should David do if he wants to stop procrastinating on a writing task?A、Do not start until the last minute. B、Play computer games all the time. C、Relax all day long. D、Pick up a pen and write down possible starting sentences.五、七选五,从以下七个选项中选出五个最合适的选项填入相应空格,有两个选项为多余选项。(每题2.5分,共5题12.5分。)

Travel Tips for Holidays Abroad
Everyone loves holiday abroad. It is a good way for people to enjoy different scenery and cultures. However, holidays aren't always a great experience.
Get organized
Every year, thousands of people miss flights because they've forgotten their passport, they arrive at the airport too late, or even go to the wrong airport.
Do some research about the place
Learning a little about the culture of a country will help you understand the people. Learning a few words of another language can also help you make new friends. You can search the information online. By the way, a map is necessary for you in case you can't find the road.
You can help the local people a lot by staying in local hotels and eating in local restaurants. This means that your money will go to local people, rather than to a large international company. You can also try to reduce the pollution you cause.
Keep a good memory for your holiday
You don't want to forget your holiday. You can show it to friends, or just use it to remember all the good times you had!
A. So it is important to get organized.
B. Here are some tips to make sure you enjoy your holidays.
C. Help the local people
D. Wear warm coats.
E. Know about the place you are going to visit.
F. Travel with your parents.
G. Write down interesting things about your holidays.
