“Hello, everyone! Welcome to Tiangong Class.” With this greeting, a special lecture began on Tiangong space station about 400 kilometers above Earth on Dec 9. This lecture was given by the three Shenzhou-13 crew members, Zhai Zhigang, Ye Guangfu and Wang Yaping, the only woman on the mission.
The astronauts displayed their exercise equipment and a specially designed space suit, and conducted demonstrations (示范) on physical phenomena in micro-gravity (微重力), such as “disappearing buoyancy (浮力)” and a “water ball”. Ye, who is on his first spaceflight (航天飞行), showed how he rotated (旋转) his body in the weightless environment. The astronauts also answered questions from students during the lecture.
Tens of millions of primary and middle school students across China watched hour-long televised events. A total of 1420 invited students were present at “ground class venues”, with some taking part in video chats with the crew members during the lecture.
Shi Yi, a physics teacher at the Beijing No.101 Middle School, said “The astronauts’ experiment really intrigued (激起好奇) and surprised me. I have great interest in spaceflight and would like to take part in our country’s space exploration program in the future.”
Vincent Wong Waishing, deputy principal (副校长) of Hong Kong’s Pui Kiu College, said after watching the lecture that the event gave Hong Kong students an opportunity to communicate with the astronauts while stimulating their interest in space and science.

This year is the Year of the Tiger. Do you know anyone born in the Year of the Tiger? What’re they like? Are they brave, strong and tenacious (顽强的)? If so, they are typical “tigers”.
In Chinese culture, tigers are considered as the king of all animals. They are the symbol of power, energy, protection, generosity (慷慨). Tigers are regarded as fearless animals, so that’s why in China people often paint pictures of tigers on the walls of houses to protect themselves from danger.
▲ As tigers mostly live in Asia, they have become a cultural symbol of Eastern countries for people in the West. For example, in the book Life of Pi, Canadian writer Yann Martel chose a Bengal tiger as the partner for the Indian boy Pi on his adventure (冒险) in the Pacific Ocean.
In the West, tigers are also seen as very powerful animals. In English, if you want someone to calm down you can say to him, “Easy, tiger.” Another famous phrase is the “eye of the tiger”. People who have the “eye of the tiger” are usually confident and fierce (凶猛的).
Tigers are also one of my favorite animals. I first learned about the beauty of tigers as a child while watching animal documentaries. And my favorite toy while growing up was my toy tiger. As a young animal lover, I feel so sad that they are in danger of dying out and I want to help protect them.
41．Chinese people think pictures of tigers on the wall can make them ________.
A．happy B．safe C．lucky D．rich
42．Which of the following sentences can we put in “ ▲ ”?
A．Tigers are a symbol of Western culture.
B．Tigers are the most dangerous animals.
C．Tigers are important not just in China, but also across Asia.
D．Instead of tigers, lions are considered as the king of all animals in the West.
43．Why does the writer mention the phrase “eye of the tiger?”
A．To show western people also consider tigers as powerful animals.
B．To explain how we can use the word “tiger” when writing.
C．To describe the eyes of tigers in detail.
D．To express his love of tigers.
44．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．The story of Pi and the Bengal tiger happens in the Pacific Ocean.
B．The writer thinks tigers are beautiful.
C．Western people don’t like tigers.
D．The writer is worried about tigers.

Excellent people must have both talent and virtue (德行). If a person has virtue but no talent, he or she might work inefficiently (低效地). If a person has talent but no virtue, he or she might go in the wrong direction. Those who have both talent and virtue were called xiancai in ancient times. There is a story about them in the book Comprehensive Mirror for Aid in Government by Chinese historian Sima Guang.
Zhi Xuanzi was the head of Zhi, a big family of Jin during the late Spring and Autumn Period. He wanted to make one of his sons, Zhi Yao, to be the head of the family, who was considered the most excellent man in the family.
However, a wise man in the family, named Zhi Guo, was against the idea. When he heard the news, he went to Zhi Xuanzi’s house and said to him, “Zhi Yao is good at many things. For example, he is a good rider and shooter. He is decisive (果断的) and talkative. But he has a big weakness—he doesn’t have a kind heart. Without it, he may envy other people’s talent and do horrible things. Our family will be in danger.”
Zhi Xuanzi didn’t change his mind and finally Zhi Yao became the head of the family. With his leadership abilities, he quickly made the Zhi family the strongest in Jin. However, because of his aggressive style, three other families worked together to fight against the Zhi family. Finally, the Zhi family was beaten.
Sima Guang used this story to show how important virtue is. Talent is important, but if you ask which one is more important between talent and virtue, the story of Zhi family has given you the answer.
In 2018, when President Xi talked with students and teachers at Peking University, he mentioned Sima Cuang’s idea.
He said good education should develop both a person’s virtue and talent. Educators must follow this idea. As students, we can also make it our goal.
45．The passage is probably a(n) ________.
A．story B．notice C．novel D．opera
46．Put the things happened to the Zhi family in the correct order.
a. Zhi Yao became the head of the Zhi family.
b. The Zhi family was beaten by other three families.
c. Zhi Xuanzi wanted Zhi Yao to take the place of him.
d. Zhi Guo didn’t agree that Zhi Yao could be the head of Zhi.
A．b-a-d-c B．d-c-a-b C．c-d-a-b D．b-d-a-c
47．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A．Excellent people. B．Ancient times. C．Talent and virtue. D．Chinese historians.
48．What does the word “idea” in the last paragraph imply (暗指)?
A．Talking with students. B．Giving good education.
C．Making education our goal. D．Developing a person’s virtue and talent.

Health problems which are related to climate (气候) change are getting worse, say two recent reports.
The reports followed 44 health problems that are related to climate change around the world. They include heat deaths, infectious diseases (传染病) and hunger. “All of them are getting worse,” said Marina Romanello. She is a research director of the Lancet Countdown project. “With global warming getting worse, doing nothing on climate and health will cost more than acting now,” one of the report says.
The reports are called “code red for a healthy future”. One report is centered on the US and the other is centered on the whole world. The reports found some dangerous facts. At-risk populations like older people and the very young are more easily influenced by high temperatures. For people over 65, the researchers found they stayed longer in great heat than the average (平均的) from 1986 to 2005. Also, there are more people living in warm places where it is easier for some diseases to spread. For example, coast areas are warm enough for dangerous bacteria (细菌) to grow. In some poor nations the season for disease-spreading mosquitoes (蚊子) has got longer since the 1950s.
The research also found that 72 percent of countries saw an increase in wildfires. And in 2020, up to 19 percent of the world’s land surface was influenced by extreme drought (极端干旱). In the US, the heat, fire and drought caused the biggest problems. The Pacific Northwest and Canada saw extreme heatwaves last summer. An earlier study found that the heatwaves would not have happened if there were no human-caused climate change.
49．What did the reports find according to Paragraph 3?
A．At-risk populations are more easily influenced by high temperatures.
B．Climate change doesn’t influence people who are under 65.
C．It’s easier for some diseases to spread in warm places.
D．In poor nations, the season for mosquitoes becomes longer.
50．What does the underlined word “related”in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．connected B．spread C．influenced D．considered
51．What’s the passage mainly about?
A．The results of climate change.
B．The reasons why climate changes.
C．Health problems related to climate change.
D．Deaths caused by human-caused climate change.
52．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?
A． B． C． D．

63．One Possible Version:
                                                                                    Eyes with glasses
Usually the glasses are made of metal and glass. They are used for seeing things far away clearly. I think wearing glasses is inconvenient, especially when we are doing sports. Luckily, my eyes are in good condition.
More and more students wear glasses. There are some reasons for it. They use their eyes without rest. For example, they may play computer games or stare at their mobiles for too long. Most of them study really hard and have to spend too much time reading or doing homework. They spent less time in taking exercise. In a word, they form a bad habit of using eyes.
In the future, I will take good care of my eyes. I will rest my eyes every time they feel tired. I will learn and keep on doing eye-protecting exercises. Most importantly, I will try to spend more time outdoors instead of sitting in front of computers.
