1、 阅读理解
Body language is a language without spoken words. We use body language all the time. For example, looking someone in the eye means something different from not doing so.
Body language is used especially to express feelings. For example, if we don't like someone,it's often difficult to say that directly to the person. However, we can make it clear either intentionally (有意地) or unintentionally through body language. People may give their true feelings away by not being aware of their body language. Research has shown that most people pay more attention to, and believe more readily, their impression of how a person acts through body language than to what's said through words.
Usually body language happens unconsciously (无意识地). Yet the body language we use greatly decides the quality of our communication. Therefore, it would be good to become conscious of our own and others' body language. We can learn to use our body language for a purpose as well as learn to understand the body language of others.
Body language has different meanings in different cultures. How we can interpret(解读) body language depends on the situation, the culture and the relationship we have with the person. This means that there isn't one signal that has the same meaning all over the world. Body language is also interlinked (连接) with spoken language and a whole pattern of behaviour of a person. As well as that, different body language signs can complement (补充) each other to make a particular meaning clearer.
(1)、Why is body language used in our daily lives?A、Because body language can get the meaning across better. B、Because people can communicate without using words. C、Because sometimes we can't express how we feel easily by words. D、Because body language makes the atmosphere more harmonious (和谐的).(2)、How can we judge(判断)a person's true feelings?A、Through his unintentional spoken language. B、Through his unintentional body language. C、Through his intentional spoken language. D、Through his intentional body language.(3)、Why should we try to know more about the other's body language?A、To respond with body language. B、To make the other one feel confident. C、To make the communication go on smoothly. D、To make the unconscious communication meaningful.(4)、When we explain a kind of body language, we should remember ____.A、different cultures present the same meaning B、it has nothing to do with the spoken language C、it is only connected with the behaviour patterns D、its signals have different meanings in different situations(5)、What's the main idea of the passage?A、Body language is in our daily lives. B、Body language is better than spoken language. C、Body language is very important in communication. D、Body language has special meanings. -

In space, there was a little grey planet. It looked very sad because people who lived there hadn't looked after it well. They had amazing inventions and spaceships, but they also made the planet full of rubbish and pollution. Plants and animals were important resources.
One day, a little boy, Jim, was walking on the planet. When he passed a cave, he noticed a small red flower inside. To save the small life, Jim dug it up carefully, with its roots and some soil. Then he started looking for a place to plant it. He searched all over the planet, but everywhere was so polluted that there was no place for the flower to live. It seemed that maybe the plant could live there.
Jim decided to go there. Then they flew to the Moon. He planted the flower on the Moon and took care of it every day. Soon the flower began to grow and spread all over theMoon and the Moon was covered with red flowers.
If we don't look after our Earth carefully, the day will come when flowers can only grow on the Moon.

Is there intelligent life on other planets? For years, scientists said"no" or"we don' t know". But today, scientists are changing their minds. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers. They believe intelligent life exists somewhere in the universe. They also think we will soon make contact (联系) with them.
Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life exists on other planets? The first reason is time. Scientists believe the universe is about 12 billion years old. "This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life," say Shostak and Barnett. The second reason is size —— the universe is huge. "Tools like the Hubble Telescope have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies," says Shostak. "And our galaxy, the Milky Way, has at least 100 billion stars. Some planets going around these stars might be similar to the Earth."
In the past, it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe. But now, powerful telescopes allow scientists to discover smaller planets —— like Mars or Earth ——— in other solar systems. These planets might have intelligent life.
Have beings from space already visited the Earth?"Probably not," says Shostak. "It's a long way away. However, intelligent beings may contact us in other ways, such as through radio signals(信号). In fact, they may be trying to communicate with us now, but we don't have the right tools receive their messages. But this is changing. We could make contact with other life forms in our universe and we might help each other in the near future."
(1)、How does the writer start the passage?A、By asking a question. B、By showing a picture. C、By giving some numbers. D、By showing research findings.(2)、What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A、The age and size of the Earth. B、Our galaxy —— the Milky Way. C、Why there may be intelligent life on other planets. D、The Earth —— the only planet with intelligent life.(3)、Why was it hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe in the past?A、Because there were not any smaller planets. B、Because we didn't have powerful telescopes then. C、Because the astronomers were not interested in the search. D、Because the scientists didn't think it was possible.(4)、What does the underlined word"they" in the last paragraph refer to?A、Messages. B、Radio signals. C、Other planets. D、Intelligent beings.(5)、What is the best title for this passage?A、The Age of the Universe B、The Size of the Universe C、Intelligent Life on Other Planets D、The Number of Stars in the Universe -

A. The Moon is also a silent world.
B. Scientists have told us so much about the Moon.
C. These achievement s show China's growing space technology.
D. The temperature on the Moon is different from day to night.
E. The view is wonderful.
F. We will soon be able to live on the Moon.
How much do you know about the Moon? Do you want to go there? They have discovered that the Moon is an unfriendly place. There is no air or water, only dust and rocky mountains covering its surface. During the day, the temperature is very high.Daytime temperatures can reach 127℃ when the sun shines, hot enough to boil water! But at night, it drops to-173℃, even colder than Antarctica(南极洲).
As we know, sound travels through air, but there is no air on the Moon. In the vacuum (真空), sound cannot travel. Even if two astronauts stood near each other, they would need radios to communicate. Even a loud crash would be completely silent!
From the Moon, the Earth looks like a bright blue-and-white ball hanging in the dark sky. Many astronauts say seeing the Earth from space changes how they think about our planet.
Though challenging, China has made amazing progress in exploring the Moon. In 2013,Chang'e-3 became the first Chinese spacecraft to land softly on the Moon, carrying the Yutu rover(探月车) that studied lunar soil for 31 months. In 2024, Chang' e-6 successfully brought back 1.935kilograms of lunar samples(样本), helping scientists learn new things about the Moon's volcanic history. Would you like to join future missions to build a lunar research station?

The Moon was long believed to be dry, but in recent decades, several studies have shown that there is water on its surface and inside minerals (矿物). Recently, scientists have discovered water inside tiny glass beads (玻璃珠) from the Moon, which could be used as a future water source for astronauts.The study, carried out by a team led by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that the glass beads"are probably the main reservoir (储水体) in the water cycle on the Moon's surface". The team studied 117 glass beads. They were in the soil collected by China's Chang'e-5 spacecraft inDecember 2020 and brought back to the Earth.
The glass beads are formed by tiny meteorites(陨石) that hit the surface of the Moon.According to the study, they may make up around three to five per cent of the Moon's soil and may store up to 330 billion tons of water on the Moon's surface. But how can we get the water from the glass beads?
"If we want to get the water out of glass beads, first we should collect them, then boil them and cool the water vapour(水蒸气). Finally, we will get some liquid water in a bottle," said HuSen, a scientist at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. "There is good news. The glass beads are universal in the Moon's soil. They can be found in many places."
While much more research is needed, the glass beads may one day provide water for"explorers of tomorrow", helping them explore space.

D、Expensive.(4)、Which of the following about the study is TRUE according to the passage?A、It confirmed(证实) the idea that there is no water on the Moon. B、It was done by an international team. C、It studied 117 glass beads brought back by Chang'e-6. D、It will help with space exploration in the future.(5)、What is the best title for the passage?A、Water on the Moon B、The Future of the Moon C、Glass Beads on the Moon D、The Development of the Moon -

F. The lines will help you write straight and keep your letters the right size.
Now students' English handwriting is getting worse and worse. That makes their teachers feel worried. Is your English handwriting beautiful?
Use lined paper.
When you write English words or sentences, you can use lined paper. Be sure to write between the lines, and pay attention to your capital(大写的) letters.
Slow down.
If your writing is hard to read, try to slow down a little. If you write too quickly, it's hard for you to stop where you should, and you may make more mistakes.
Hold your pen in the right way.
When you hold your pen in the right way, your writing will be much better. Some students press too hard when they write. This makes their handwriting look bad.
Draw more pictures.
While you are drawing pictures, you need to use skills to control your pen better. Even though you may have no time to draw at school, you can practise at home.
Handwriting is very important. Imagine you are a famous movie star, what would you do when your fans run up to you? Give them your autographs(亲笔签名), of course! So let's practise and improve our handwriting.
