1、阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Going to outer space is a little like going camping. Food with all the water dried out is lightweight and doesn't spoil (变坏). So, many space foods are dried on Earth and stored in special packets. .
On Earth, gravity is the force that keeps your feet on the ground and your sandwich on your plate. To keep food from floating (漂浮) away, astronauts on the Space Shuttle attach the packets to a special tray (托盘). The tray can be fixed to a wall or to the astronaut's lap. To prepare their food, astronauts use liquid forms of salt and pepper. The liquid sticks to the food better. Regular salt and pepper would float away, maybe up an astronaut's nose.
So astronauts drink everything from a small bag with a straw (吸管) that can be closed. Astronauts say that most space foods taste pretty good.
Some, such as apples and pudding, are the same as the foods you eat on Earth. Astronauts eat tortillas instead of bread because they make fewer crumbs (碎屑). Your body uses food in space the same way it does on Earth. Your body must deal with waste in space too.
During take-off and landing, astronauts can't leave their seats to go to the bathroom. They wear diapers (尿布) under their spacesuits instead. The Space Shuttle has a bathroom the size of a small closet. The toilet has bars that keep astronauts from floating away. .A. Liquids float right out of cups and glasses, though.
B. But there's no gravity in space.
C. In outer space, everything seems to be different.
D. Rubbish from daily life can not be thrown everywhere.
E. Some, such as dried pears, taste good right out of the packet.
F. Floating crumbs could get stuck in equipment or an astronaut's eye.
G. A strong flow of air is used instead of water to flush waste down the toilet. -

After Stewart and Debbie Wilder lost their son, Cameron, in 2013, the last thing on their minds was decorating for the holiday season. "We havenˈt put anything up in three years. It has all stayed boxed up," said Debbie.
But in December 2016, the house was lit up for Christmas, with little lights cheerfully lining the roof and eaves(屋檐). It wasnˈt the Wilders but a stranger Carson Zickgraf, the founder of CZ Enterprises LLC, who finally made the house shine. "I started crying," Debbie says about seeing the lights for the first time. "It was really special."
Zickgraf has been donating his light-stringing services to brighten the lives of families affected by losing their children, especially during the difficult holiday season since 2015 and has decorated the houses of more than two dozen families so far.
He started the project by chance. He was hanging lights on a home when the owner mentioned that some neighbors were having a hard time that holiday season because their son had recently died. Then he had an idea. "I sent my crew there to decorate that house too," he says. The family was delighted. In fact, he had two friends who had died young, and heˈd always wished he could ease the pain for their loved ones. Now, heˈs found a way.
" Thereˈs something special about Christmas lights. They warm the spirit." Zickgraf knows his efforts canˈt completely remove the pain from these families, but he can make the holidays a little cheerier. "I wish I had a bigger company so I could do more houses," he says.
(1)、How was the Wilders affected by the loss of their son?A、They didnˈt feel like decorating their house for Christmas.

Rejection (拒绝) is a universal experience, but the pain of it can feel so individual. No matter how many times you have experienced it, being told you didn't get the job or that a date doesn't want to see you again is always hurtful.
Historically, the pain that comes with rejection has been a useful tool. For our ancestors, being kept away from a group would have been a death sentence, since it was difficult to survive alone. Thus, the brain likely developed an alarming system to warn us when we were at risk of being rejected. Those who experienced rejection as more painful gained an advantage since they were more likely to adjust their behavior to remain in the group.
Being rejected has far smaller consequences now than it did thousands of years ago. Still, we read it as a threat to our health. The reason why it hurts is the same reason why we experience pain when we step on a sharp object. Research which compared brain activity of people who had experienced rejection with that of people who had experienced physical pain showed that many of the same regions of the brain lit up. The pain is a warning that something is damaging our health.
Concern with rejection is perfectly normal, but being overly worried can affect the quality of our life. If you take rejection personally, your self-worth will suffer; but if you blame it on the general injustice of the world, it will make you angry and bitter. Therefore, it is necessary to do a realistic analysis on what the problem is. If someone doesn't call you back, don't jump to the conclusion that they don't want to talk to you. They might be sick or busy.
Rejection is a normal part of everyone's life. Instead of seeing the shame that comes with rejection as a negative emotion, see it as a sign that your brain is working exactly how it should be.
(1)、How did the pain of rejection help our ancestors survive?A、By increasing the safety of living alone.
B、By showing the consequence of teamwork.
C、By reminding them to change their behavior.
D、By warning them to keep away from danger.(2)、What does the research suggest about rejection and physical pain?A、They are both a cause of brain damage. B、They are both a warning to our survival. C、They recall the same suffering in the past. D、They produce the same response in our brain.(3)、What does the author advise us to do about rejection?A、Analyze it reasonably. B、Doubt it bravely.
C、Ignore it immediately. D、Take it personally.(4)、What can be a suitable title for the passage?A、Rejection: Whose Fault Is It? B、Rejection: A Shame or Not?
C、How Can We Avoid Rejection? D、Why Does Rejection Hurt So Much? -

Have you ever noticed that the stars sometimes appear brighter in December, January and February? There's a link between cold air and the night lights. "Part of it is that it tends to be drier in the winter," said Diane Tumshek, an astronomer at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Even though it's invisible, moisture (湿度) can change the way light moves through the air. And in the summer, moisture can make stars appear more dull.
Air temperature is also what puts the twinkle twinkle in the little stars. "Even on very clear nights, some of the atmosphere is cooler, and some of the atmosphere is warmer," said Tumshek, who also works with the Allegheny Observatory. And when the light from a star passes through those bubbles of varying temperatures, "it bends and shifts the light, so that we are seeing stars appear to dance or twinkle," she said.
For star lovers in the United States, there's another factor that comes into play for bright winter stars, although this is a matter of coincidence (巧合). During Earth's journey around the sun, "there are just simply more bright stars visible from the Northern Hemisphere in the winter sky," Tumshek said. If you really want to see a shiny star, just try to find a burning ball of gas called Sirius near the horizon (地平线). At8.6 light-years away, Sirius is relatively close to Earth and the brightest star visible in the night sky. It is also large—nearly twice as big as our sun and 20 times as bright. So this winter, when the world turns cold and it seems like we should be spending more time indoors, consider asking an adult to go exploring outside. With a warm coat and a clear sky, any night can be turned into a treasure hunt. All you have to do is look up.
(1)、What does the underlined word "dull" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A、Not exciting. B、Not shiny. C、Not serious. D、Not smart.(2)、How does air temperature influence the brightness of stars?A、By making the stars dance and twinkle in the sky.
B、By putting the twinkle twinkle in them.
C、By varying the direction of the light from them.
D、By changing the bubbles around them.(3)、What do we know about Sirius?A、It is 20 times as bright as the sun.
B、It can be found at any night.
C、It is a burning and shiny ball.
D、It is closer to Earth than other stars.(4)、What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A、To suggest stargazing in winter.
B、To call on people to focus on stars.
C、To present new research results about stars.
D、To explain why stars are more visible in winter. -

15、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I grew up in a small town where the primary school was a ten-minute walk from my house. When the noon bell rang, I would race breathlessly home. My mother would be standing at the top of the stairs, smiling down at me.
One lunchtime will stay with me always. I had been picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had practised so hard with me. But no matter how easily I acted at home, as soon as I stepped onstage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside, explaining she had added a narrator to the play, and asking me to change roles. Her words, kindly expressed, still hurt especially when I saw my part go to another girl.
I didn't tell my mother what had happened when I went home for lunch that day. But she sensed my pain. Instead of suggesting we practice my lines, she asked if I wanted to walk in the yard.
It was a lovely spring day and the rose vine(藤) was turning green. Under the huge trees, we could see the grass beautifully dotted with many small but bright yellow dandelions(蒲公英). It looked as if a painter had touched the picture with gold. I watched my mother bend(弯腰) down by one dandelion. "I think I'm going to dig up all these wildflowers," she said, pulling it up by its roots. "From now on, we'll have only roses in this garden."
"But I like dandelions," I strongly disagreed. "All flowers are beautiful—even dandelions."
My mother looked at me seriously. "Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn't it?" She asked thoughtfully. I nodded, pleased that I had won her over. "And that is true of people too," she added. "Not everyone can be a princess, but there is no shame in that." Relieved that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry while telling her what had happened. She listened and smiled reassuringly(令人感到宽慰地).
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在作答卡的相应位置作答。
"But you will be a beautiful narrator,"she said.
After the play, I took the flower home

19、阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Many kids find math difficult or boring. That feeling needs to go extinct(不再存在的) as soon as possible as math is a pillar(支柱) of education. Beyond numbers, math pushes kids to think critically and become problem solvers.? Let's find out!
Change how you talk about math to kids
When you hear the word "math" come up, put on a wide smile on your face. Our kids can get stronger in the subject with our energy. Let's be clear. We aren't trying to make math cool..This goes double for those struggling with math.
Integrate(融合) math into daily life
.You can do this at home, during grocery shopping or even at a restaurant. Getting kids a quick math practice session when they aren't expecting it makes them think on their feet and put things they've learned into practice. They get a moment to shine and you get an opportunity to praise them for showing what they learned.
.
Does your child love sports? Math helps them keep track of their performance and improve. Figure out a way to take the current math they are working on in school and then apply it to something they like. This may take some homework on your part but it will pay off in no time!
Go along with math games
Let's not try to force math homework to be fun, rather find a teaching aid that puts math in a new light. With advancement in technology, math games have become designed to teach entire lessons and concepts rather than simple problems like the games of days past..
A. Listen to the outer voice
B. Connect math to kids' interests
C. What is your learning approach to math
D. But how do we help kids build math confidence
E. A simple everyday event can tum into a math problem
F. Your kids will explore a different world while playing math games
G. Instead, we are trying to make math a positive part of a child's education

20、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
When young, my parents took me to a zoo. I remember looking in admiration at two bears in a cage. Things have changed. My kids would be afraid to see animals in cages. Today, we expect animals to be held in more natural environment, and for zoos to do more to make the world a better place.
Zoos can host great conservation(保护) work. Sometimes they hold and protect endangered animals. About 40 seriously endangered animal species exist mainly in zoos. They are us for study, reproducing(繁殖) programs and even to reintroduce the animals to the wild. But not many zoos do enough of this. I support the recommendation of some researchers that zoos should spend at least 10%of their money on biodiversity(生物多样性) conservation. Sadly, a 1999 study showed an average spending of only 0.1%.
If zoos totally concentrate on protection, we might expect them to mostly house threatened species. But many zoos focus on the big animals that draw audiences to make money. I say that's inappropriate(不合适的). I don't mean zoos shouldn't be a business. Since care of animals can be extremely expensive, it's reasonable for zoos to open their doors to earn some money, as long as animals are kept in acceptable conditions.
Visiting animals in real life helps develop an appreciation for the natural world. Virtual-reality (VR) glasses and movies about wildlife are worthwhile, but not the same. A friend of mine who works in the Amazon puts it this way: "To love the forest, you need to smell the forest."
Conservation should come first for all zoos, together with education and research. Without that, a zoo becomes just a business: one that the world would be better off without.
(1)、How did the author feel when seeing two bears in a cage in his childhood?A、He was scared of the scene B、He felt worried about his safety. C、He felt sad about the caged bears. D、He was amazed by the wonder of animals.(2)、What does the underlined word "this" in paragraph 2 refer to?A、Protecting endangered animals properly. B、Keeping animals in more natural conditions. C、Holding non-threatened species in much greater numbers. D、Spending part of their money on biodiversity conservation.(3)、What does the author's friend imply in his words?A、VR helps zoos to make money. B、Animals should live in the wild. C、VR enables viewers to know more about wildlife D、Visiting animals in real life is a necessary experience.(4)、What is the best title for the text?A、Zoos need to be changed. B、Zoos should be not allowed. C、Zoos shouldn't be a business. D、Animals shouldn't be kept in zoos.
