A

Bom in Chengdu, Southwest China's Sichuan province, 30-year-old Dong Yaxue, a Chinese researcher working for NASA is currently a member of NASA's MAVEN （Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution） team.

On Nov 5, Dong was invited to speak at a NASA news conference, in which the organization said the atmosphere on Mars can be stripped by solar winds. She is the first Chinese female scientist to participate in a NASA news conference.

Dong graduated from Chengdu's Shishi High School in 2003 and was later admitted by University of Science and Technology of China. She got her master's and doctor's degree in astrophysics from Rice University in the United States.

Last year, Dong joined the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) at the University of Colorado and began working for MAVEN after handing in her resume and taking part in a phone interview. Now her main job is to analyze satellite data and compare the results to theoretical predictions.

“The findings released during the new conference are very important and may change the content of school textbooks."  Dong told Chengdu Business Daily.

“It has also provided new information and guidance for future Mars exploration.”

Interested in technical work, Dong said she was never bored at work and will continue focusing on data analysis next year.

“This is the first time that my job got so much attention."  She also added that she found great pleasure in both exploring Mars and eating hot pot.

He Jianming, Dong's high school teacher, said that physics is difficult for many girls but not for Dong Yaxue. As a middle school student, she won first prize in the national physics contest.

He said Doing was not the top student in her school. "she never got first in the class, usually ranking tenth to twentieth. But her scores of all subjects were even."

21. Which of the following statements is NOT right according to the passage?

A. Dong is the first Chinese scientist who appeared in a NASA new conference.

B. Dong devotes herself to analyzing data and comparing the theoretical predictions.

C. The findings released are landmarks, which may change what we are learning.

D. Dong's outstanding performance does great credit to his mother school.

22. In which section of a newspaper may this text be taken from?

A. Entertainment. B. Military. C. Politics. D. Sci-Tech.

23. What's the meaning of the underlined word “even" in the last paragraph?

A. excellent B. embarrassing C. balanced D. unstable

B

The referee wished the two fighters luck and the bell rang. Just four seconds later, one punched (拳击) the other in the nose, making him fall to the ground.

In the next 26 seconds, the man was knocked down twice more before the referee pronounced his opponent victorious.

The defeated fighter, Ma Baoguo, is a traditional martial arts practitioner who claims to be a "master of Hunyuan tai chi". But when his skills were tested in May, he was knocked out by an ordinary fighter.

Yet his popularity has risen after that failure as he delivered a short address to audiences via video and some of his words were picked out and spread on social networks and he has become something of a social media sensation.

Just by wearing traditional clothes and giving the discipline, Ma came up with a name. Actually, Ma is far from being a traditional martial arts "master". On the contrary, he is harming traditional martial arts. Not surprisingly, it took just one punch from an amateur to knock the mask off. He blamed his younger competitor for lacking the martial arts virtues, but he is the one that lacks them.

Some people say this is not a problem because people can tell what sort of person Ma is and just treat him like a clown. But it is a problem because others seek to profit from it.

Worse than his own deeds are what has happened around him. Obviously, there are some who seek commercial profit. Young people who are not mature enough to distinguish right from wrong might really worship Ma as a "master". That's something we must warn people to pay attention to.

 24. How many times was Ma Baoguo knocked down by his competitor?

A. Just one. B. Two times. C. Three times. D. Many times.

25. What do you think of the performance of Ma Baoguo in the boxing?

A. He is capable in this area. B. He is just a liar and was knocked out soon.

C. He is thought highly of. D. He set the young a good example.

26. Which of the following do you think is NOT right while facing such social hot?

A. It would be wise for Ma to stop his wrong doings of hyping up himself.

B. The social network platforms should stop providing a stage for Ma.

C. Stricter rules should prevent such cases from happening again.

D. Social media networks provide a stage for us to perform ourselves fully.

C

Chances are that you probably haven't given much thought to that bottle of Pringles other than wondering “how can I get the last few potato chips out of the tube without making my arms dirty."

As it turns out, this salty snack has quite a story. It once was in the middle of a heated argument that questioned the materials and whether the chips were actually potato chips at all.

From 2007 to 2009. the makers of the ”once-you-pop-you-can't-slop" chips stood in front of three： different levels of the British law department trying to defend the decision that Pringles chips were not — by definition——potato chips.

Here's how this comically complicated problem started. In the mid-20th century, a tax was born called the value-added or VAT tax. This ''consumption tax" started off as a 10 percent tax on all goods bought from a business. More than 20 percent of the world's tax income comes from the value-added tax making it a pretty big deal.

In Britain, most foods are free from the value-added tax, except for potato chips or “similar products made from the potato, or from potato flour”. This led to a long and hard journey to figure out whether or not Pringles were actually potato chips. If they were ruled as chips, Pringles' parent company at the time, Procter & Gamble, would must pay a 17.5 percent VAT tax.

Procter & Gamble's initial argument was that Pringles were not potato chips because they didn't “contain enough potato to have the quality of  'potatoness' ".They also argued Pringles didn't resemble the shape of a potato chip.

In 2008, a lower British court agreed and ruled that Pringles were in fact not potato chips, mainly because they contained only 42 percent potato and had “a shape not found in nature”. But just a year later, the Court of Appeal re-examined and changed that decision, calling Procter & Gamble's argument that the ingredients of a product didn't define the product “hogwash”.

With that decision, the giant company had to pay $160 million in taxes, while, unwillingly, calling their novel potato chips, well, potato chips. And that is the story of Pringles and its brief dance with the world of taxes, junk food and British judges.

27. Why is a question raised in the first paragraph?

A. To arouse readers' interest. B. To get the answer from readers.

C. To warn readers of the food safety. D. To remind readers to make full use of food.

28. Why are there arguments over whether Pringles were potato chips?

A. Pringles contain a low percent of potato.

B. The shape of Pringles is quite different from a potato chip.

C. Different taxes will be paid based on different judgments.

D. Different levels of the British judiciary have different opinions.

29. What can we finally conclude from the last two paragraphs?

A. Pringles are potato chips.

B. Pringles are regarded as junk food by British judges.

C. Pringles should be fined $160 million to the Court of Appeal.

D. Pringles chips contain enough potato and flour.

30. What's the author's purpose in writing the text?

A. To show how to make Pringles.

B. To promote Pringles.

C. To explain the strict rules about the tax in Britain.

D. To introduce the story of Pringles with the tax in Britain.

Karie checked the words on her spelling test again. If she got full marks today, she'd win her class' First-Quarter Spelling Challenge and a brand-new dictionary. Plus, Ms. McCormack had promised to do a handstand if anyone got a perfect score.

Three more words to go. N-i-c-e-l-y. Q-u-i-c-k-l-y. -o-n-e-s-t-y. Wait! Should spelled honesty, not honestly. She hurriedly erased the t-y and wrote 1-y before handing in her paper.

Ms. McCormack graded the test papers at the break. Meanwhile, Karie sat restlessly in her seat with her fingers crossed. Then. Ms. McCormack walked to the front of the room and cleared her throat. As if she were an Olympic gymnast, Ms. McCormack's feet flipped （空翻）into the air ^Congratulations! Karie! You did it!” she announced while upside down.

The whole class burst into applause! Ms McCormack righted herself and presented Karie with her prize. Karie grinned as she read the label on the box: To Karie Carter, for her perfect first-quarter score in spelling.

“Everything OK? ” Mom asked as Karie burst through the front door after school. Karie didn't answer. As if by magic, she took out her spelling test paper and prize and showed them to her mother. Mom hugged her, asking her to put the test paper on the fridge so that Dad could see it when he got home.

Karie took another look at the test paper before putting it on the fridge. Her hands stopped in the midair. She just couldn't believe her own eyes. Honesly?  YES! H-O-N-E-S-L-Y

Mom sensed something unusual and asked why. Karie stuffed the test paper into backpack and explained that she was just too excited. Mom brought her some tea. Yes, a "t" is exactly what she needed.

After drinking a little, Karie plodded （重步走）down the hall, lost in thought. How could she tell the class she hadn't earned the prize after all? That Ms. McCormack did the handstand for nothing?
