Sending human travelers to Mars would require scientists and engineers to overcome a range of technological and safety obstacles. One of them is the serious risk posed by particle radiation(辐射) from the sun, distant stars and galaxies(星系).
Answering two key questions would go a long way towards overcoming that difficulty: Would particle radiation pose too serious a threat to human life throughout a round trip to the red planet? And, could the very timing of a mission to Mars help shield astronauts and the spacecraft from the radiation?
In a new article published in the journal Space Weather, an international team of space scientists, including researchers from UCLA, answers those two questions with a "no" and a "yes". That is, humans should be able to safely travel to and from Mars, only if the spacecraft has enough protection and the round trip is shorter than approximately four years. And the timing of a human mission to Mars would indeed make a difference: The scientists determined that the best time for a flight to leave Earth would be when solar activity is at its peak(高峰期), because, during this period, the most dangerous and energetic particles from distant galaxies are deflected(偏转) by the enhanced solar activity.
A trip of that length would be imaginable. The average flight to Mars takes about nine months, so depending on the timing of launch and available fuel, it is reasonable that a human mission could reach the planet and return to Earth in less than two years, according to Yuri Shprits, a UCLA research geophysicist and co-author of the paper.
"This study shows that while space radiation impose(强加) strict limitations on how heavy the spacecraft can be and the time of launch, and it presents technological difficulties for human missions to Mars, such a mission is possible," said Shprits, who also is head of space physics and space weather at GFZ Research Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam, Germany.
(1)、What's the function of the first paragraph?A、To list human's achievements in space. B、To show a possible way to travel to Mars. C、To introduce scientists' effort to travel to Mars. D、To present one of the difficulties of the trip to Mars.(2)、What does the underlined word "shield" in paragraph 2 mean?A、Escape. B、Approach. C、Protect. D、Separate.(3)、What is the longest duration(持续时间) of a round trip to Mars for the safety of humans?A、About 9 months. B、Less than 4 years. C、Less than two years. D、One year.(4)、What can be the best title for the text?A、Will It Be Safe for Humans to Fly to Mars? B、Humans Will Travel to Mars in the Near Future C、The Timing of a Trip to Mars Is Planned D、Particle Radiation Changes for the Solar Activity -

In a breathtaking incident in Berlin, a young man narrowly escaped a life-threatening situation where he became trapped beneath a bus.
The 16-year-old found himself unable to move beneath a tyre(轮胎) of the bus when he fell down during an attempt to catch the departing vehicle at a local stop on a Monday afternoon. The quick response of the bus driver, who immediately stopped the vehicle, coupled with the assistance of roughly 40 people, including both passengers and bystanders, led to a remarkable achievement. Together, they managed to lift the right side of the bus sufficiently to free the young man.
Frank Kurze, one of the courageous volunteers who participated in the rescue, recalled the messy scene, stating, "I saw the men trying to lift the bus, and it was clear to me that I also had to help lift the bus and try to pull the young man from underneath."
Nearby medical professionals from a healthcare center in the Spandau neighborhood of Berlin instantly arrived at the scene to provide vital first aid. Michelle Rueckborn, one of the nurses on duty, shared their response, saying, "We were at work when we heard screams, and our coworker looked out of the window and saw what had happened, and said ‘Grab the doctor's kit and run.'"
Sandra Grunwald, another nurse present at the scene, added, "He was responsive but understandably confused, unsure of what was unfolding around him." Despite the frightening circumstances, the young man unbelievably survived with only minor injuries, thanks to the collective effort of around 40 individuals who came together to perform a heroic rescue.
The Berlin police department praised the collective efforts of those involved in the rescue as "heroes" and expressed their gratitude on social media, stating, "Thank you, Spandau. Thank you, Berlin."
(1)、What was the accident at the bus stop?A、A teenager got caught under a bus. B、The tyre of a bus suddenly blew out. C、A young passenger fell from his seat. D、The driver found the bus uncontrollable.(2)、What did Frank Kurze do at the rescue scene?A、He recorded the whole event. B、He stepped forward bravely. C、He turned to medical staff. D、He called more volunteers in.(3)、Which of the following best describes the medical professionals?A、Tolerant. B、Creative. C、Patient.

Food festivals are a common occurrence in the UK and take place in all sorts of places and at all sorts of times. Whatever your taste, there's a food festival to match it — no matter how special.
The Meatopia
This three-day, London-based festival takes place at the end of August or in early September and is a meat lover's paradise. In addition to a range of legally sourced meat products, from juicy burgers to tender steaks, attendees can listen to live music, watch butchery demonstrations, and attend informal meat-based workshops.
The National Honey Show
If you have a sweet tooth, then it could be that the National Honey Show, which started in 1923, is the place for you. This three-day event attracts many local participants who showcase their sweet golden honey, some of which is sold globally.
The Orange Sauce Festival
Have you heard about a festival that is devoted only to orange sauce? Held in Cumbria, this sweet, fragrant festival has been running for many years. What attracts people most is a competition to find the best homemade orange sauce. There are thousands of participants from over 30 different countries across the globe, bringing their local snacks to share here.
The Ginger(姜) and Spice Festival
If you'd prefer something with a little more kick, then you could attend the Ginger and Spice Festival held in Market Drayton.

14、 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It's the first time for Kiley and I to do something for Tag Day(募捐日). We were not sure if we could really raise money by going up to some strangers' houses and asking to make a donation. We sat down on the blue carpeted floor of the band room where everyone was waiting for their name to be called to see which group they were in. Kiley and I looked at each other nervously.
Luckily, Mrs Rupert, our orchestra(管弦乐队) teacher, called both of our names and some other girls' names to bunch us together. Our group stepped out of the band room with an adult who would drive us around the neighborhood. But as another adult handed us sweaters to wear for the day, I didn't want to do that anymore.
"Ewww... it's so ugly!" Kiley commented. "It's huge! Even a dinosaur could fit into this." Indeed, it was a misty gray color with oversized sleeves and a small logo at the top corner for our Robinson Marching Band.
Even so, we forced ourselves into those ugly sweaters and went out to the car. At least we weren't the only ones that looked funny. All of us in the band had to wear our uniforms which looked really uncomfortable.
"OK, girls, here is the neighborhood. You guys will start here and..." I wasn't paying any attention to what the driver was saying and I could tell Kiley was either. We were just looking out to the houses soon we would have to knock on. Butterflies were flying around in my stomach and I wished that they would be gone. Kiley and I got out of the car and took one side of the neighborhood while the other girls took the other. As Kiley and I approached our first house, we were quickly rehearsing(排练) our speech before we knocked.
"OK, you say this and I say that," Kiley said.
"Do you want to start?" I asked. But I could tell Kiley wanted me to start.
I was nervous enough already and Kiley had to literally push me to the doorstep. As my hand reached out, I put a big smile on my face hoping that they would make a donation.

16、 根据教材内容补全下面短文,在答题卡相应位置填入一个适当的完整单词,注意所填单词的形式。
It's strange, but I don't really remember much about the hurricane itself. It all happened so quickly. I was sitting in my room with my cat, Smartie, on my lap, when the roof just f off. All of a sudden, there was sky the roof had been. I was so frightened that I just froze.
At first, I was pleased we could stay at home, but soon it got really tough. a roof, staying inside was too dangerous. There was water everywhere, but we couldn't drink any of it otherwise we'd get really sick. It was August, so it was really, really hot and it smelled so bad everywhere! I just spent the days watching the boats going up and down the street and 1 out for Smartie. He had disappeared moment the storm hit.
Living in the open air, we became breakfast, lunch and dinner for the m. But Mom said that whatever happens, we should always try to see the good side of things. It was difficult to stay p, though. We had lost our home and everything in it, including Smartie. All we had left were the clothes on our backs. But as Mom kept on reminding us, we were all together and safe. Mom's words made us feel better. I remember us all lying under the midnight sky and looking up at the stars.
Although it was only a few days before we were r, it felt like months. We were taken to another town in a faraway county. T, Smartie came home just in time. We were so happy to take him with us, although then, none of us knew that we wouldn't be back for quite a while.
Now, one year has passed and I'm back home in New Orleans. Some families have yet to return, but many others have come back. Although we are surrounded by r of the disaster, we are working together to rebuild our homes and our lives. Now we have another chance to look up at the stars of New Orleans, their beauty inspiring us and giving us confidence to move on.
