China’s Cargo Spacecraft Sets New World Record

The Tianzhou 5 cargo spacecraft launched on November 12th docked with the Tiangong space station around noon, setting a world record for the fastest rendezvous and docking operations between the two spacecraft, according to the China Manned Space Agency.

The Tianzhou 5 was placed into a low-Earth orbit by a Long March 7 rocket that blasted off at 10:03 a.m. at the Wenchang Space Launch Center in Hainan Province.

After cargo craft entered the orbit, it traveled two hours and seven minutes to rendezvous (交会对接) with the Tiangong space station and then docked with the massive station at 12:10 p.m., the agency said in a news release.

The maneuvers have become the fastest rendezvous and docking processes for spacecraft, replacing the old record set by the Russian spacecraft Soyuz MS-17 on October 14th, 2020, when it used three hours and three minutes since its liftoff to rendezvous and connect with the International Space Station.

The manned space agency said the fast rendezvous and docking are key to establishing the capability to transport supplies to the space station in an emergency.

The cargo ship is carrying about 5.3 metric tons of materials, including living and mission necessities, scientific equipment as well as a mini experimental satellite. The craft also carries nearly 1.4 tons of propellants for the Tiangong station, the designers said.

21．At which Space Launch Center was the Tianzhou 5 cargo spacecraft launched?

A．Jiuquan. B．Wenchang. C．Xichang. D．Taiyuan.

22．What do we know about the Tianzhou 5 cargo ship?

A．It traveled two hours.  B．It carried astronauts.

C．It launched on December. D．It created the fastest rendezvous and docking processes.

23．Which kind of material is not carried by the Tianzhou 5 cargo ship?

A．A vast satellite. B．Propellants. C．Scientific equipment. D．Mission necessities.

The FIFA World Cup Trophy is arguably one of the most iconic prizes in the sporting world. So far, two different trophies (奖杯) have been used in the history of the FIFA World Cups.

The Jules Rimet Trophy was the first trophy awarded to the winners of the FIFA World Cups. Initially, the old trophy was originally named “Victory”. However, this trophy was renamed “the Jules Rimet Trophy” in 1946. This change was made to honor former FIFA president Jules Rimet, who voted to organize the first FIFA World Cup in 1930. French sculptor Abel Lafleur designed the trophy in 1930. The trophy was 14 inches in height and weighed 8.4 pounds. It was comprised of a winged representation of Nike and the Greek Goddess of Victory.

Uruguay became the first champion and kept the trophy in 1930. The trophy was eventually retired when Brazil won the World Cup final for the third time in 1970. Following their success in Mexico, Brazil was allowed to keep the trophy permanently. However, the original trophy was stolen for a second time in 1983. It was never recovered, and it was claimed that it had been melted down into gold bars. Following the retirement of the Jules Rimet Trophy, FIFA needed a new cup. Eventually, Italian artist Silvio Gazzaniga’s design was selected as the new World Cup trophy.

The modern FIFA World Cup trophy describes two human figures holding the earth on top of their heads. The base of the trophy has “FIFA World Cup” engraved (刻). Furthermore, following every World Cup, the name of the winning team and the winning year is also engraved at the base. The trophy weighs 13.61 pounds. Unlike the Jules Rimet Trophy, the winning nations and future winners don’t get to hold the original trophy anymore. The new regulations state that it remains in FIFA’s possession. Instead, winners are given a gold-plated bronze replica (青铜复制品) provided by FIFA.

The new trophy can hold up to seventeen names and years and is likely to be retired following the 2038 World Cup.

24．Why was the first World Cup trophy renamed?

A．To remember the designer of the cup. B．To welcome a new global soccer event.

C．To expand the popularity of the World Cup. D．To show great respect for the former FIFA president.

25．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “comprised” in Paragraph 2?

A．Covered. B．Made up. C．Occupied. D．Included.

26．How is the modern FIFA World Cup trophy different from the previous one?

A．It is made of gold and bronze. B．It varies in design every seventeen years.

C．It bears the word “Victory” at the bottom. D．It is owned by FIFA instead of the winners.

27．What is the best title for the text?

A．The Rules of the World Cup B．The History of the World Cup Trophy

C．The Growing Trend of Watching the World Cup D．The Inspiration for Creating the World Cup Trophy

C

On September 26, 2022, NASA successfully completed its Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission by intentionally crashing an unmanned spacecraft into the asteroid (小行星) Dimorphos. The goal was not to destroy the asteroid but to change its orbit. With the successful mission, NASA proved the concept that this technique could keep a potentially dangerous asteroid from crashing into Earth in the future.

Dimorphos is a small asteroid orbiting the larger asteroid Didymos. NASA noted that Dimorphos is not a threat to Earth, but because it passes relatively close to Earth, it was chosen as the target for the test mission.

Although the intended crash should change the asteroid’s position slightly, it will add to a major shift over time. “If you were going to do this for planetary defense, you would do it 5, 10, 15, or 20 years in advance for this technique to work,” said NASA program executive Andrea Riley. “This is why we test. We want to do it now rather than when there’s an actual need.”

Asteroids can pose a significant threat to planet Earth. For example, around 66 million years ago, an asteroid around 6 to 9 miles across struck the Earth in what is now the Yucatan Peninsula. The resulting impact was so catastrophic (灾难性的) that it caused one of the largest extinction events in Earth’s history. Therefore, DART’s success is an important step forward in protecting the planet from potential damage from an asteroid. This shows humans are no longer powerless to prevent this type of natural disaster.

The DART spacecraft was launched by NASA on November 24, 2021. It was accompanied by another craft called LICIACube, supplied by the Italian Space Agency, and separated from DART just 15 days before the crash. LICIACube remained in orbit around the asteroid and took photographs of the crash and material ejected (弹出) from the asteroid’s surface.

28．What is the purpose of the DART mission?

A．To destroy Dimorphos completely. B．To change the orbit of Dimorphos.

C．To track potentially dangerous asteroids. D．To prevent Dimorphos from hitting the Earth.

29．How can we describe the test according to Andrea Riley?

A．Better late than never.  B．Rob Peter to pay Paul.

C．Prepare for a rainy day. D．Bark up the wrong tree.

30．Why does the author mention the example in paragraph 4?

A．To prove the significance of DART’s success.

B．To present the elect of the largest extinction events on humans.

C．To explain the difficulty of protecting the Earth from asteroid strikes.

D．To show the necessity of conducting research on natural disasters.

31．What is LICIACube intended for?

A．Recording the crash test with photos.

B．Collecting rock samples from Dimorphos’s surface.

C．Providing additional energy for the DART spacecraft.

D．Increasing the force of crashing the DART spacecraft into Dimorphos.

D

Beautiful coral reefs (珊瑚礁) in Thai seas have been gradually worsening due to global warming that causes coral bleaching, in addition to certain human activities without proper control and environmental consciousness. Recently, researchers from Thai university Chulalongkorn have created 3D-printed coral reefs modeled on the nature of real corals called Innovareef to accelerate the recovery of the coral reef ecosystem.

Innovareef corals are coated with calcium and phosphate nutrients (钙磷营养物) that corals need to thrive and consist of flat surfaces. The reefs’ holes serve as habitats and hiding places for many sea animals. Artificial reefs also make use of hydrodynamics technology to enhance their resistance to tidal forces and ensure that they stay in place. Finally, the pH (level of acidity) of the selected type of cement used for the reefs is close to that of seawater, and the design concept is that of Lego, easily assembled (组装) and disassembled blocks that are easy to transport and fix.

“The Innovareef is not too large. It’s light-weighted and can be carried by anyone thus saving transportation costs. You can simply put it at any desired location in the sea and then dive down to put all the units together to complete the Innovareef. Not even five minutes afterward, fish and several ocean creatures start to come in to survey and make it their new habitat, leading to biodiversity around the Innovareef. More importantly, the research data indicates that the settlement and growth rates of planula on the Innovareef are better than those on other artificial reefs,” said Associate Professor Dr. Nantarika Chansue at Chulalongkorn University.

Innovareef is the hope for the effective recovery of natural coral reefs. Now the team is focused on adding more details so that the new structures look more like natural reefs. For the future generations of Innovareef, the team will develop a more specific design for each sea species in the area.

32．What function in expected of the Innovareef?

A．To extend the life of corals. B．To monitor the growth of corals.

C．To help restore natural coral reefs. D．To protect coral reefs from human destruction.

33．What do we know about the Innovareef from paragraph 2?

A．It is highly resistant to heat. B．It has low manufacturing costs.

C．It provides rich nutrients for fish. D．It is portable and easy to assemble.

34．What are Dr. Nantarika Chansue’s words mainly about?

A．The advantages of the Innovareef. B．The inspiration for the Innovareef.

C．The methods of improving ocean habitats. D．The importance of protecting biodiversity.

35．What will researchers probably do in the future?

A．Apply the Innovareef on a large scale. B．Stop doing more tests on the Innovareef.

C．Make a specific design of the Innovareef. D．Conduct further research on natural coral reefs.

5 Strategies to Overcome Social Phobia (社交恐惧)

Social phobia is an anxiety disorder characterized by intense fear in social situations. People with social phobia feel paralyzing fear when other people are around, as well as nervousness, anguish, or shyness. As we can see, social phobia is very uncomfortable and limiting for the person who suffers from it, so we must differentiate it from shyness.    36    

Learn to relax. People with social phobia often have what is known as anticipatory anxiety.    37    For this we have to learn to relax instead of anticipating the fear of the future situation.

Look for social situations.    38    If we try to relate outside of our usual circle or look for small situations that require a small interaction, we will see how little by little we will feel more comfortable in them. In this way, when a social event arrives that we want to attend or participate in, we will be better able to be comfortable in it.

Make sure your imagination does not betray you.    39    In the vast majority of cases you are afraid of things that have not happened or are not happening. We have to be especially careful what we think others may be thinking of us.

Be yourself. Social phobia is due, in part, to the conviction that we have to be what is expected of us, in giving a perfect image.    40    So we do not have to focus so much on what others may think of us, but on feeling comfortable with ourselves without having to be perfect.

A．That is, they worry about the situation before it occurs.

B．Imagination can play tricks on us in social situations.

C．We have to learn to accept ourselves and trust ourselves.

D．Be aware of avoiding any situation without overcoming.

E．Next, we are going to see a series of tips to overcome social phobia.

F．If we constantly avoid social situations out of fear, it is very difficult for us to be able to overcome them.

G．If we are able to ask open questions that require more than one “yes” or “no” for an answer and we focus on the answers.

The human memory is phenomenally strong. It also has a habit of getting things badly wrong. According to Jonathan Hancock, our memory expert, faulty    41    can be extremely revealing (揭露真相的).

Just last week, for example, my wife and I were    42    how we’d chosen our youngest son’s name. I had a    43    memory of us writing out a list of possible names, but stopping after just a few because we’d    44    one we both loved.

My wife disagreed. In her memory, we’d had a much    45    list, and gone back and chosen one from the middle of the    46   . But we found that we’d actually done something completely different to    47    Nate’s name.

Memory mistakes happen on a larger scale, too. The “Mandela Effect” is when lots of people have confident recollections (回忆) that turn out to be    48   . It was named by researchers who were discussing their strong memories of Nelson Mandela’s death in prison — when he actually lived for 23 years after his    49   .

There are plenty of other    50    of this phenomenon. If you’re sure that you remember seeing the Monopoly Man wearing a spyglass, for instance, or hearing a wicked queen say “Mirror, mirror on the wall,” you’ve    51    it yourself, but her real meaning “Magic mirror on the wall”.

So what’s    52    on? Well, for starters, memory often works by association and similar    53    can overlap (部分重叠) in our brains. We’re also good at “filling in the blanks” with details that are    54    but untrue. What’s more, whenever we run through a memory, we make it stronger,    55    any bits that were wrong.

But there’s plenty of good news here, too.

Everyone misremembers. We shouldn’t be too hard on ourselves when we    56    mistakes. The mental associations that sometimes lead to errors can also    57    us to find information which is difficult to locate. If you’re    58    with someone’s name, please try thinking of things you associate with them.

Discussing your memories is great mental exercise. It    59    strengths and weaknesses, and lets you learn tips from others. Besides, remembering is a creative    60   , during which we are also likely to make mistakes. It was certainly true for my wife and me.

Smile

When it comes to body language, there is nothing more attractive than smiling. Not only can a beautiful smile make ourselves happy, but also it enables others to feel delighted. Sometimes, a smile is so powerful that it gives people suffering from disasters great courage.

A little boy named Lang Zheng, for instance, impressed and encouraged a great many people when a serious earthquake happened in Wenchuan. Right after he was rescued by the soldiers from the ruins, he saluted and smiled to them, whose smile was like sunshine, warming people who were in sadness. It is safe/no exaggeration to say that without smile our life would be colorless and difficult. It is suggested that we smile as much as possible.
