43、careful. It is not smart to go near doors and windows. They can blow in or break. A room with no windows is the safest place to be. Do not wash your hands during a storm.

Youll see them moving through a series of slow graceful movements. As their bodies flow from one exercise to the next, their minds are foc

59、used only on their deep, relaxed breathing. Tai chi is part of national cultural heritage (遗产) which Chinese people take pride in. This ancient mind-body exercise is known as tai chi, and you dont have to live in China to benefit from it. According to a survey in 2007, more than 2 million Americans

60、are currently practicing tai chi. Tai chi is called a mind-body type of exercise because it combines meditation (冥想), focused breathing, and physical movement. Because its also a low-impact (低强度的) exercise, it may be particularly suitable for older adults, but its a helpful exercise for people of al

61、l ages. Tai chi developed in China as a type of Wushu. Today tai chi is used to develop fitness, meditation, balance, breathing, and well-being. If tai chi is something you might like to try, look for a tai chi class near you. Keep in mind that training programs are different in many ways. You might

62、 want to ask around for a recommendation or try a class before you sign up. Ask some tai chi instructors about their training and experience. Tai chi is generally considered a low-risk exercise that is both safe and enjoyable. If you have any physical or medical problems, talk with your health care

Do water fly away when astronauts have a drink? On Dec 9, Chinese astronauts Zhai

66、 Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu gave a lesson on Tiangong Space Station. They did some science experiments (实验). Lots of students watched it and learned many amazing science facts.Use it or lose itThe human body grows with the pull of Earths gravity (重力). But in space, our bones and muscles don

67、t need to support our bodys weight. This will make bone and muscle lose. It is dangerous for them.Astronauts have different ways to solve the problem. For example, Ye Guangfu was wearing a special uniform. There are many elastic bands (弹力带) inside it. Astronauts use their muscles to stretch (拉伸) the

68、 bands. This keeps their muscles strong.Wang Yaping also showed students how she walked on a treadmill (跑步机) and rode a bicycle. Astronauts exercise with these tools every day to stop muscle loss._During another experiment, Wang made a water film (膜). Then she added more water drops onto the film to

69、 make it a water ball. This can never happen on the earth. Why?We need to first understand the surface tension (表面张力) of water. Surface tension is like a “skin” of water. The “skin” is there because water molecules (分子) are drawn to each other. On the earth, gravity is too strong and it breaks the “

70、skin”. But with zero gravity in space, the “skin” stays strong and the water ball wont break.Space water is different in many other ways from that on the earth. For example, water wont fall down if you pour it into a cup. Thats why astronauts usually drink water through straws (吸管). If astronauts cr

71、y, the tears wont fall down. Theyll stay on their eyeballs.41How do astronauts on Tiangong Space Station explain the science facts?ABy listing numbers.BBy doing experiments.CBy telling facts.DBy making definitions (定义).42What can astronauts do to stop muscle loss except (除了) _?Awearing a special uni

74、esting festivals and customs (风俗). Here are some festivals for you.Laba Festival, which is on the eighth day of Layue, is the first festival in this month. From this day on, people begin to get ready for the Chinese New Year.On Laba Festival, people eat hot Laba porridge. There are usually eight thi

75、ngs in the porridge: rice, red beans, peas, dried lotus seeds (干莲籽), dates and three different kinds of fruits and nuts. The porridge is not just good for your health, but a blessing for the coming of the Chinese New Year.Laba porridge is not the only tasty food in Layue. Laba garlic is popular in t

76、he north of China People begin to soak garlic in vinegar (醋泡大蒜) from that day on, and eat it with dumplings during the Chinese New Year. But in the south, people like making sausages (香肠).Another important celebration (庆祝) before the Spring Festival is Xiaonian. It is usually on the 23th or 24th day

Too much screen time may be harmful to your health. First, it is bad for your eyes. A researcher called Sar

81、ah Hinkley says the problem comes from the blue light that the screen gives out. Looking at a smartphone for a long time can cause eye strain（劳损）, headaches and dry eyes. So it is a good idea to take a break every 15 minutes when you are working at a computer or using a smartphone. Second, screen us

82、e can do harm to childrens brains. A new study shows that using screens too much can affect（影响） how childrens brains grow. If children use screens for more than one hour a day, they might have lower levels of white matter in their brains. White matter is a key to the development of language and read

83、ing skills. So it is wise to cut down the time of children using all kinds of screens. Third, using screens too much will affect your sleep.

92、r Fleming said, “I certainly didnt plan to revolutionize (变革) all medicine by discovering the worlds first antibiotic (抗生素). But I guess that was exactly what I did.”Some people only became successful after their deaths. Not like Pablo Picasso who became famous and very rich during his lifetime, the

93、 artist Vincent Van Gogh only sold one painting all through his life and that was to a friend. But he kept painting and he painted more than 2, 000 artworks in the following ten years.

99、 he improved his football skills (技巧) a lot, but he was only 1.32 meters tall because of the illness. His family had to spend 900 dollars a month on his treatment (治疗).

100、-old boy on December 14, 2000 and the team agreed to pay for his treatment.

105、on task, I decided to pick out a different theme for each month. January was charity. February would be neighbors, I decided. And I thought of a number of names right away: the owner of our local bookstore, who let me and my little son in before the store opened and offered to play his favorite song

106、s; our babysitter, who dropped off a bag of old board games for our kids to play; While writing the notes, I realized how often I had spent my time on the phone moving from app to app, appreciating(欣赏) other peoples lives. Writing thank-you notes allowed me the time to do something different, paying

107、 more attention to my own life. In the following months, I wrote to my friends, doctors, teachers and parenting role models. In July, my “food” month, I wrote to Julie, who used to cook at my favorite restaurant. It went like this:Dear Julie,Ive been finding myself missing you lately. Thank you for

119、y be _.A/B/C/D/If youve ever seen your insides on an x-ray, you can thank Marie Curie for being able to see them so clearly. Marie was born in Poland on November 7, 1867. Her father, who taught math and physics, helped her develop a talent for science early. As she grew older, she wanted to go to un

120、iversity and learn all about physics. But women students were not allowed in the local university. Dreaming to become a scientist and work on her experiments, she moved to Paris, France, to study physics at a university. In 1895, she married Pierre Curie. Together they discovered two new radioactive

121、 elements (放射性元素), and won the Nobel Prize in physics in 1903. And she became the first woman to win any kind of Nobel Prize. Then she continued to make more amazing achievements in science. In 1906, she became the first woman physics professor at the university. In 1909, she was given her own lab a

122、t the University of Paris. Then in 1911, she won a Nobel Prize in chemistry. Shes still the only person man or woman to win the Nobel Prize in two different sciences. She soon started using her work to save lives. She used her understanding to help the x-ray take detailed pictures inside the human b

123、ody. In 1914, during World War I, she created mobile x-ray units that could be driven to hospitals. She also helped train some women to operate the units. With these x-ray units, doctors could see broken parts inside soldiers bodies clearly and help save over one million soldiers. After the war ende

124、d in 1918, Marie Curie returned to her lab to continue working with radioactive elements. But those can be dangerous in a very large amount, and on July 4, 1934, she died of a disease caused by radiation. Marie Curie was a woman hero, not only because of her groundbreaking and life-saving scientific

125、 work. She encouraged, and today she continues to encourage women to work in science, and scientists to use their work to help people.72What was the first difficulty on Maries way to science?AHer parents didnt support her study.BShe couldnt afford to move to Paris.CShe had trouble understanding scie

Every morning at five, Peter arrived at the milk companys stables (马厩), saying to John, “Good morning! My old

129、 friend!” Then, the two started their day proudly. Without any order from Peter, the carriage would go down the street. The horse stopped at the first house. There, John would wait perhaps thirty seconds for Peter to get down off his seat and put a bottle of milk at the front door.One day, the manag

130、er of the company came to check the early morning work. Tom, the leader of the stables, pointed to Peter and said, “See how the horse listens and how he turns his head toward Peter?”“Yeah! But Peters getting old.” said the manager, “Tell him it is time for him to have a rest.”But Peter said, “My lif

131、e will be nothing if I cant drive John every day. We are both old! Let us wear out together. When John is ready to leave, then I too will do so.”Then one cold morning, after about two years, Tom said. “Peter, your horse, John, didnt wake up. Go over and see him.”Peter took one step forward, then tur

132、ned. “No. No. You. You dont understand, Tom.”Now, Tom looked into Peters eyes. He saw a dead, lifeless look in them. So he said softly. “Take the day off, Peter, and have a good rest, please.”Peter stepped into the street. Then there came a waming shout and a sudden stop of a carriage.Five minutes l

This man has been blind for five years.” he turned to Tom, “Didnt you know that?”“None of us knew.” Tom said in a low, sad voice, “Only one. Only one

137、isappearance of the worlds languages and try to encourage people to learn and use them. What happens when a language dies out? Something great is lostnot just sounds and marks but the way that people understand the world and communicate with each other. We keep different cultures and traditions thro

138、ugh languages. Kill a language and all these are killed too. Through IMLD, more and more people come to realize the terrible situation and try to stop it. Googles 2018 Endangered Languages Project is a good example. In order to avoid losing them, many speakers and protectors of endangered languages

139、upload (上传) texts, audios and videos to the project website. They want to make more people know the way that people communicate and express themselves. The Miamian Project is the same kind of way to revive the language spoken by the Miami tribes (部落) of the United States. Project members work to enc

140、ourage people to study and communicate with this language, which died out in the 1960s These activities give life to those endangered languages. People who work to keep languages alive are not limited to the past. Many young people design apps and use social media to support their activities. They “

141、spread the word” to save the world. Although the problem of disappearing languages remains a very serious one, there is hope. We all have a special feeling of our mother language. This is why we should remember the wise words of late president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela, “If you talk to a man i

145、w they should protect languageThe six Chinese astronauts from the Shenzhou-l4 and Shenzhou-15 missions marked a historic moment on 30 November as they met inside the countrys Tiangong space station. It was the first time that six Chinese were in a space station at the same time and the first in-orbi

146、t (轨道内的) gathering of two Chinese crews (乘组).The Shenzhou-15 crew set out on the journey to the Tiangong station on the night of 29 November from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwestern Chinas Gobi Desert. They rode a spaceship that was lifted into space by a Long March 2F rocket. At 7:3

147、3 a.m. (Beijing Time), the Shenzhou-14 astronauts opened the door of their “space home” to welcome the Shenzhou-15 astronauts. The six then took a group photo to record the great moment.According to the China Manned Space Agency, the two crews stayed together for about five days, and then the Shenzh

148、ou-14 crew, who had been in orbit for nearly half a year, returned to a landing site in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region (内蒙古自治区着陆点). The Shenzhou-15 astronauts will stay in orbit for six months to do a lot of work, such as carrying out spacewalks to mount equipment (安装设备) outside the station, a

149、nd doing scientific experiments (实验).Following the arrival (到达) of the Shenzhou-15 spaceship, the Tiangong space station has grown much. Tiangong is expected to operate in orbit for about 10 years and will be open to foreign astronauts in the near future, according to space officials. It is the 10th

150、 crewed space station in the world and one of the two operating stations, along with the International Space Station.Pang Zhihao, a retired researcher at the China Academy of Space Technology said that building and running a manned space station is the most difficult work. “The arrival of the Shenzh

151、ou-15 crew marked the start of the Tiangong space stations long-term regular operation.” he added.84What can we know from the first two paragraphs?AThe Shenzhou-14 crew left Tiangong space station.BThe Shenzhou-15 crew would be in orbit for five days.CThe Shenzhou-15 crew had been in orbit for six m

152、onths.DTwo Shenzhou crews met in Tiangong space station.85Which of the following isnt mentioned in the text?AThe selection process(选拔过程) of the Shenzhou-15 crew.BThe Tiangong space stations future plans.CThe Shenzhou-15 astronauts work.DThe importance of the arrival of the Shenzhou-15 crew.86Which o

155、ost people around the world are right-handed. This also seem to be true in history. Most of the people shown in the art works are right-handed. So the scientists guessed that right-handedness（右撇子） has always been common through history. Today, only about 10 to 15 of the worlds population is left-han

156、ded.Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a persons two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the left hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two

157、sides of the brain. The right side of the brain, which makes a persons hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left side of the brain, is the center for thinking and doing problems.No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40 of

158、the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged（损坏） when they are born. However, this doesnt happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not

159、 receive the gene, he/she may become either right-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with.Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no longer think left-handed people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children w

160、ere made to use their right hands like other children.88How many people in the world are left-handed now?AAbout 40%.BMore than a half.CLess than one sixth.DThe passage doesnt tell us.89What is the left hand for most people used to do?AIts used to work with things.BIts used to find or hold things.CIt

Dont you remember me?”“Sure. Youre the girl who brings me ice cream.” Suddenly, Sally knew that Grandma would never remember her.

167、“Oh, how I love you, Grandma!” she said. Just then she saw a tear roll down Grandmas cheek (脸颊), “Love,” she said. “I remember love.”“You see, dear, thats all she wants,” her mother said. “Love.”“Ill bring her ice cream every weekend then, and hug her even if she doesnt remember me.” Sally said.Afte

He continued looking.The next course to catch his eye was “Language Art”. He didnt even know what that meant. His f

It was inexpensive and convenient. It could be done alone and it was also creative.Based on Toms hobby history, his dad

Here is

181、a useful list of simple things you can try that can help you focus（关注）less on yourself and more on the needs of others. Even small changes in your daily life can make a big difference!Focus on listening instead of talking. Give others your full attention（注意力）and really hear them out. Self-centered p

182、eople often make conversations go around themselves and they are easy to get bored when the focus isnt on them. If this sounds like you, you can break that habit! Give others a chance to speak and do your best to show that youre really listening. Put yourself in someone elses shoes. Imagining（想象）you

183、rself in their situations（情形）helps you understand them better. If your friends are telling you about something that happened to them, you can try to ask yourself how youd feel and what youd need if you were them. Then, keep those things in mind when you reply to your friend. Use fewer “I” and “me” s

184、entences. Dont always want to talk about yourself in every conversation. You cant focus on anyone else if youre always talking about yourself. Try to actively lower the number of “I” and “me” sentences you make in daily conversations. Studies show that talking about yourself less often can make you
