This time, however, her goodbye has sparked joy in her 5-year-old daughters eyes as she is “shooting for the stars.”Known for broadcasting a 40-minute live lesson during her first space trip, she is very likely to

18、 draw global attention again during her second space mission. Wang was born in 1980 to a rural family in Shandong Province. “When I was young, my world was small,” Wang recalled. “My dream was much more simple: to go beyond the village and to pay back all that my parents had given me.”Her space drea

19、m started in 2003 when China sent Yang Liwei into space. “I watched the bright rocket flame on TV, and an idea flashed through my mind: China now has a male taikonaut, when will there be a female one?” Wang said. After racking up safe flights for 1,600 hours over nine years, Wang became a strong can

21、desert survival training, and she asked to train in the pressure chamber for an extra 30 minutes each time. “You cant catch a break simply for being a woman,” she said.

22、title of Chinas first space teacher after giving a lecture to students from an orbit more than 300 km above the Earths surface.

Personification.CAgricultural scientists in Switzerland have demonstrated the long-term effect of organic farming methods. Organic f

26、arms use no man-made chemicals to increase crops or control insects and disease. The study showed that organic fields produced fewer crops, on average, than other fields. However, the scientists say the organic methods improved the health of the soil and used half as much energy.The Swiss scientists

27、 compared the effects of organic and traditional farming methods over a period of more than twenty years. They grew crops on four fields of land in Switzerland. Two fields were grown using traditional farming methods. The others were grown using organic farming methods. The crops and soil use were s

28、imilar in all the fields studied.The study found that the organic fields produced about 20% fewer crops than the other fields. However, the farmers used less fertilizer and energy on the organic fields. They found the organic fields were healthier.The scientists say the organic fields had more nutri

29、ents in the soil. The soils in the organic fields also had more biological activity than the other fields. The organic fields had more helpful organisms and a larger number of different organisms. The organic fields had almost two times as many insects, including helpful insects. In traditional farm

30、ing, chemicals designed to kill harmful insects also kill helpful ones.The researchers say the findings show that organic crop production rates change little over time, and that soil fertility increases.

34、.B. Organic farming is environment-friendly.C. People cant afford organic food at present.D. Organic crop production rate increases rapidly. DThe American Academy of Pediatrics has warned about the potential negative effects of social media on young kids and teens. But the same risks may be true for

35、 adults. A review study suggests addiction symptoms (症状), such as failure to pay attention to personal life and escapism, appear to be present in some people who use Facebook excessively (过度).A study also shows when people stop using the Internet, they also go through small but measurable physical e

36、ffects. Rather than improving health, as frequent interactions (互动) with offline social networks do, the findings show that interacting with Facebook may predict the opposite result for young adultsit may undermine it.In fact, another study found that social media use is linked to greater feelings o

37、f social isolation (隔离), mentally and physically. We fall into the trap of comparing ourselves to others as we check our Facebook pages. The study looked at how we make comparisons with others posts, in “upward” or “downward” directionsthat is, feeling that we are either worse or better off than our

38、 friends. It turned out that both types of comparisons made people feel worse, which is surprising, since in real life, only upward comparisons make people feel bad. But in the social network world, it seems that any kind of comparison is linked to depressive symptoms.All of this is not to say that

39、there is no benefit of social mediaobviously it keeps us connected across great distances, and helps us find people we had lost touch with years ago. But visiting social networks when you have some time to kill is very likely a bad idea. If you are feeling brave, try taking a little break, and see h

40、ow it goes. And if you are going to keep “using” it, then at least try to use it reasonably.32. What might researchers think about “using Facebook excessively”?A. Its problem behavior.B.

Social media are being given too much importance.B. Young Facebook users feel more isolated than their elder

42、s.C. All kinds of comparisons on social media upset people.D. Downward comparisons link closer to depression than upward ones.35. What is the main idea of the text?A. Social media affect people s mental health.B. Comparing ourselves with others may lead to depression.C. Social networks have more adv

43、antages than disadvantages.D. Nowadays people tend to turn to the Internet for satisfaction.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）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。Although we may not realize it when we talk with others we make ourselves understood not only by words. We send messages to the people around

44、 us also by expressions and body movements. We call it “body language”, which is a kind of communication, nonverbal communication. A smile and handshake show welcome, waving ones hand is to say “goodbye”, nodding the head means agreement. 36 As culture influences communication, the way people in dif

45、ferent countries communicate is different too. For example, Arab men often greet by kissing on both cheeks. In Japan men greet by bowing. 37 Crossing ones legs at the knee in the United States is a sign of being relaxed. But in Korea, its not allowed. 38 For Chinese, it is to say “someone will be ki

46、lled”. For Americans, it shows “Im full” . 39 In Turkey, putting ones hand in ones pockets is a sign of disrespect. In some Asian countries, you mustnt touch the head of another person. For an Arab, its good manners to stand close to his friend when they are talking, but for English people, they don

47、t like to be close to one another. And in parts of Asia, you mustnt sit with your foot pointing at another person.All above show that it is important to know the meaning of gestures and movements in foreign country. Foreigners should follow these customs and learn their culture. 40 I think that it i

48、s important in our lives to show and learn body language.A. Smile can help get through difficult situations.B. In the USA, people shake hands to show “their greeting”. C. These gestures seem to have the same meanings everywhere. D. Making too many gestures in communication is not polite.E. The gestu

49、re of putting a hand on a persons neck is different for Chinese and Americans.F. So we can communicate with them in a correct way, both by words and by body language.G. Because of the influence of special culture, some body languages should attract our attention.第三部分 语言运用 （共两节，满分30分）第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，

Im glad to be invited by the International Student Centre to give you a talk on how to protect yourselves and avoid losses, both on and off campus. First, if you, especially the girls, are in a caf or

89、restaurant, make sure that your bag is where you can keep an eye on it. If you want to leave for a while, dont ask a stranger to take care of it. Just take it with you. Second, if you drive, park in a public car park, or at least in a well-lighted area if its at night. Avoid the quiet dark roads, an

90、d dont leave your passport, laptop, or cash in the car. Third, if you have to walk home alone late at night, stick to well-lighted areas. If you really think someone is going to hurt you, go to the nearest house and ask for help. If a car stops to ask for information, just keep well clear of the door. At last, I just want to say that in this country, it is not allowed to carry a knife, or anything that can be used as a weapon, even if its for self-defense. Actually, this isnt a dangerous town if youre careful enough.
