China's Chang'e 6 probe (探测器) returned to Earth on June 25, 2024, with the first-ever rock and soil samples (样本) from the far side of the moon. China's space agency called the mission (任务) "a complete success" after the probe landed in northern China.
Chinese scientists think the returned samples include 2.5 million-year-old volcanic rock and other materials that scientists hope will answer questions about geographic (地理的) differences on the moon's two sides.
The samples could even help scientists to discover how planets are formed, according to the BBC.
The near side is what is seen from Earth, and the far side faces outer space. The far side is also known to have mountains and impact craters, contrasting with relatively flat areas visible on the near side.
While past US and Soviet missions have collected samples from the moon's near side, the Chinese mission is the first that has collected samples from the far side.
The moon program is part of a growing rivalry (竞争) with the US—still the leader in space exploration and others, including Japan and India. China has put its own space station in orbit (轨道) and regularly sends astronauts there.
China's leader Xi Jinping sent a message of congratulations to the Chang'e team, saying that it was a "landmark achievement in our country's efforts at becoming a space and technological power".
The probe left Earth on May 3, and its journey lasted 53 days. Scientists are hoping that the simple materials contain traces of meteorite (陨石) strikes from the moon's past.
Experts believe that the aim of future missions will be not only to explore, but to take control of the moon's resources.
(1)、When did Chang'e 6 probe return to Earth?(2)、What's the way of the writer starting the passage?(3)、Compared to past US and Soviet, what's the significance (意义) of the Chang'e 6 mission?(4)、What's the future goal of experts predicting for exploration?(5)、How do you like China's moon mission? -

Recently, scientists (find) a special piece of amber from Asia, in there is the tail of a dinosaur with beautiful feathers. This (discover) completely changes people's ideas about dinosaurs.
Scientists used to believe that dinosaurs were just huge lizards, now we know that some of them had feathers. Besides, more than 300 new species (discover) with the help of amber so far.
Professor Wang, a great botanist, spent over 70 years (explore) China's plants. He fell seriously ill many times during field work, but he never gave up. His spirit tells us that (keep) exploring is the key to unlocking nature's secrets. We should learn from him and try our best (protect) and understand nature.

"I feel my heart beating, my eyes widen and almost automatically (自动地), I start to smile," Prayitno Goenarto said. This is how he feels when he sees a new kind of bird.
Goenarto is a birdwatcher and wildlife photographer from Indonesia. He is now 31 years old. When he became sick in college, his doctor asked him to go out more often for sunlight, exercise and fresh air.
A birdwatcher needs to know a lot and be brave and strong. Goenarto spends most of his time working in the wild. He knows where and when to find different kinds of birds. Sometimes he has to go deep into the forest to find the shy birds. He might get lost. He has to look out for snakes and some big animals.

Liqiu means "Start of Autumn" in Chinese. It is the 13th of China's 24 solar terms. This day usually comes on August 7 or 8. In 2025, it starts on August 7. Though autumn begins, hot weather often stays. People call this the "Autumn Tiger" (秋老虎).
Changes in Nature

- Sun-drying Crops: In mountain villages like Huangling, villagers dry red peppers and golden corn in the sun. It creates colourful "autumn pictures".

Historically, people explored the ocean to find new ways to travel around the world or to start new trade routes. Today, we pay more attention to the ocean itself in the ocean exploration.
In recent years, new technology has made it easier to dive (潜水) into the deep sea. Better submarines (潜艇), robots and cameras now allow scientists to explore areas people couldn't reach before. China's Mengxiang deep-ocean drilling vessel (大洋钻探船) can now be added to the list.
Believe it or not, we know more about space than we do about the deep sea. Since 1969, only three have dived to the Mariana Trench's deepest point. Even more shocking? Although the ocean covers about 71% of Earth's surface, 95% of it is unexplored.
Why does so much of the ocean remain unknown? Part of the reason is that it's difficult to explore. Sure, it's hard to get a spaceship into space. But remember that in space, you can see things. The deep sea, however, is hopelessly dark. Getting a light down there that can shine far enough is no easy task.
That being said, ocean exploration is worth the risk and cost. The ocean is connected to all of us and plays a role in everything from the air we breathe, the food we eat and the transportation of the goods we buy to weather and longer-term climate trends (趋势). The deep ocean also holds huge amounts of oil, gas, metals and so on.
(1)、Why didn't scientists reach the deep sea in the past?A、They didn't think it was worth the risk. B、They didn't have high-level technology. C、They thought there was no need to do it. D、They wanted the knowledge from shallower waters.(2)、What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A、Mengxiang deep-ocean drilling vessel is popular with tourists. B、Mengxiang deep-ocean drilling vessel is mainly used for trade. C、China has made great progress in ocean exploration technology. D、China is the first country to explore shallower and deeper waters.(3)、Why does the writer mention space in the passage?A、To prove the interest of ocean exploration. B、To show the necessity of space exploration. C、To show the difficulty of ocean exploration. D、To prove the importance of space exploration.(4)、What does the underlined word "task" refer to?A、Inventing a new light. B、Seeing the things in space. C、Getting a spaceship into space. D、Sending a bright enough light down.(5)、What can we learn from the passage?A、Deep ocean exploration is important and necessary. B、The ocean influences the long-term climate trends most. C、We have explored most of the resources in the deep waters. D、The ocean coverage is large and we have explored most of it. -

The Magic of the Coral Reef
Coral reefs are one of the most amazing natural wonders on Earth. They are often called "the rainforests of the sea" because they are home to thousands of species of fish, plants and other creatures. Coral reefs cover less than 0.1% of the ocean floor, but they support more than 25% of all marine species.
Coral reefs are not just rocks. They are made up of tiny living creatures called coral polyps. These polyps live in groups and secrete a hard substance that forms the structure of the reef. Coral reefs grow very slowly—only about 1 to 2 centimeters per year. Some coral reefs have been around for millions of years.
However, coral reefs are in great danger now. Climate change is causing the ocean temperature to rise, which makes the coral turn white and die. Pollution from factories and farms is also harming the reefs. Plastic waste in the ocean can get stuck on the reefs and kill the polyps. In addition, overfishing is destroying the balance of the marine ecosystem.
But there is hope. Many organizations and individuals are working hard to protect coral reefs. Scientists are researching ways to help coral reefs adapt to climate change. Volunteers are cleaning up plastic waste from the ocean. Governments are making laws to stop overfishing and pollution.
We can also do our part to protect coral reefs. For example, we can reduce our carbon footprint by saving energy and using public transport. We can also avoid buying products that harm coral reefs, such as certain sunscreens. Every small action can help save these beautiful natural wonders.
(1)、Why are coral reefs called "the rainforests of the sea"?A、They are as big as rainforests. B、They grow in the same area as rainforests. C、They support a large number of species. D、They are made up of tiny plants.(2)、What does the underlined word "secrete" mean in Chinese?A、吸收 B、分泌 C、消耗 D、储存(3)、Which of the following is NOT a threat to coral reefs?A、Rising ocean temperatures. B、Plastic pollution. C、Overfishing. D、Marine protected areas.(4)、What can we infer from the passage?A、Coral reefs grow very quickly. B、Only scientists can protect coral reefs. C、If we take action, coral reefs can be saved. D、Coral reefs are not important for the marine ecosystem.(5)、What is the main idea of the passage?A、Coral reefs are home to many marine species. B、Coral reefs are in danger and need protection. C、How coral reefs are formed. D、Why coral reefs are important. -
