Human beings have been trying to explore the world in which we live and to better understand it. Space exploration is one of the ways. Through the exploration of space, we can begin to unravel the mysteries（神秘的事物） of our universe, and to better know our living environment.

Space exploration provides us with knowledge about the beginning of our solar system, our own planet and ourselves. It also helps answer the questions that have puzzled us for many years. Solar system exploration is important because it is good for us.

Space technology has become an important part of our daily lives. Some technology uses satellites to communicate. Satellites are also used to examine the changes in the Earth's climate and seas, for weather report and for military. We also use satellites in food production. Because of the use of space technology in crops, fewer and fewer people will suffer hunger.

The space program provides a chance for nations to work together. The cooperation(合作) promotes peace and understanding between governments and their people. Many governments have taken part in the space technology, including the United States, Russia, Japan, the European nations and India. In the near future, other nations will take part in it. In fact, the United States remains the leader in new space technology.

34．What is the main idea of the second paragraph?

A．Difficulties in space exploration.    

B．The advantages of space exploration.

C．The answers to the questions of space exploration. 

D．What we can get from space and solar system.

35．The following are the use of satellites EXCEPT __________.

A．reporting the weather     B．examining the changes of seas

C．increasing the food production   D．changing the climate of a certain place

36．Which country is the best in new space technology?

A．The United States. B．Russia. C．Japan.     D．India.

37．What can we know from the last paragraph?

A．Poor countries don't agree to explore space.

B．People in different countries have different ideas on exploring space.

C．More and more countries will take part in the space program.

D．Many countries don't want to work together with other countries.

C

  I received a private message on Facebook. It began harmlessly enough: “Hey, girl. Wanted to invite you to join my next challenge group—we’ll be focusing on fitting in 30 minutes of exercise and balanced nutrition.”

It was all becoming too much. Facebook was running my life, not me.

But what killed Facebook for me was when I posted a photo, and five minutes later my son asked me how many “likes” it had got. His question was a wake-up call.

“Likes” are signs of acceptance and approval. I had forgotten that acceptance and approval need to come from within and had unknowingly set him a bad example.

Before Facebook, surfing the internet was an occasional distraction and I spent a lot more time reading books and magazines. I checked in with friends through texts, emails and phone calls.

To recreate the simplicity of those days and set a healthier example to my son, I deactivated my Facebook account.

I’d been in the habit of checking Facebook many times a day, so I had to come up with some new habits. I carried a novel and a crossword puzzle book around with me. I rediscovered knitting. I started taking yoga classes.

I started to remember a few things. My body is fine just the way it is. I have friends who will help me out when I’m in trouble, and I will help them out. I do my best to be a good mother, and our son is happy and healthy. We are very lucky to be able to afford two vacations a year.

I stopped looking at the world through my cellphone. I felt completely present in the moment.

The break left me feeling better about myself, my family, my home and my life.

After a few weeks, I returned to Facebook. Now I look at the photos of my friends’ kids growing up and treasure how social media allows me to keep in touch with family far and wide. I look in on a daily basis, but no longer with the desire constantly to post updates.

It is not an addiction any more.

38．What was the author’s life like before her break from Facebook?

A．She enjoyed reading in her free time. B．She spent much time on social media.

C．She didn’t get along well with her son. D．She didn’t care what others thought of her.

39．The underlined word “deactivate” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to “________”.

A．close B．update C．keep D．check

40．What did the author do to change her life?

A．She went to the gym as often as she could. B．She developed some healthy habits.

C．She tried to make money for her holidays. D．She traveled around a lot for a year.

41．What is the author’s attitude toward social media?

A．Critical.   B．Supportive. C．Objective.   D．Indifferent

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。

   How much do you know about Mother's Day?  It is a time of commemoration(纪念) and celebration for Mom. It is a time of breakfast in bed, family gatherings, and expression to mothers "I Love You".

42．   During the 1600's, England celebrated a day called "Mothering Sunday". Celebrated on the 4th Sunday of Lent (the 40-day period leading up to Easter), "Mothering Sunday" honored the mothers of England.

During this time many of the England's poor people worked as servants（仆人） for the wealthy. 43．    On Mothering Sunday the servants would have the day off and were encouraged to return home and spend the day with their mothers. 44．   

As Christianity（基督教） spread throughout Europe the celebration changed to honor the "Mother Church"-the spiritual power that gave them life and protected them from harm. Over time the church festival blended with（与···融合） the Mothering Sunday celebration.45．   

While many countries of the world celebrate their own Mother's Day at different times throughout the year, there are some countries such as Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, and Belgium which also celebrate Mother's Day on the second Sunday of May.

Don't forget to tell our mothers how much we love and appreciate them. 46．     Go ahead! Just do that!

A．Mothers are so great that everyone should respect them from now on.

B．The earliest Mother's Day celebrations can be traced back to the spring celebrations of ancient Greece in honor of Rhea, the mother of gods.

C．People began honoring their mothers as well as the church.

D．As most jobs were located far from their homes, the servants would live at the houses of their employers.

E. A special cake, called the mothering cake, was often brought along to provide a festive touch.

F. It's never too late to do that!

G. It is not important that Mother's Day is at different times throughout the year.

Good morning, everyone,

It is a great honor for me to stand here the make a speech. Today, my topic today is ”Environmental Protection”. As we all know, with the development of economy, the global environment is getting worse and worse. If nothing is done, all the living creatures on the earth will be in danger.

So it is everyone’s duty to protect the environment. As students, we can do our part in environmental protection by leading a low-carbon life. Firstly, we should save water and electricity because they are limited. When going out, we can take buses or ride bikes instead of taking taxis or driving, which can reduce waste gases and is good to the environment. Besides, we are supposed to cut down the use of natural resources. For example, we can use more recycled products.

I believe that with everyone’s effort, a great difference will be made to make our environment better. So, please take action right now! Only by protecting nature can humans lead a better life.

That’s all. Thanks for your listening.
