Accompanied by commander Jing Haipeng and flight engineer Zhu Yangzhu, Gui Haichao, a university professor who specializes in spacecraft dynamics and control technology for aerospace systems, took off on the Shenzhou–16 spacecraft from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in northwest China on May 30th. His long-held dream of flying to space has now become a reality.
Gui grew up in a regular family in southwest China’s Yunnan Province. His interest in aerospace began at the age of 17 when he tuned in to the campus radio and got the news of Yang Liwei’s historic first manned spaceflight for China in 2003.
“I wasted no time in applying,” said Gui, referring to the moment he found that China was recruiting(招收)its first group of payload(载荷) specialists in 2018.
Over the past few years, Gui was trained to handle highly complex equipment carried aboard a space shuttle and to conduct experiments in space.
However, the training initially proved challenging for him.
“I felt intense dizziness and disorientation(迷失方向) after the training, so I added extra exercises, sought guidance from instructors, and adopted some of the training methods used by pilots. Finally, my ability to endure vestibular(前庭的) sensations gradually improved,” said Gui during an interview with China Media Group(CMG).
Gui is a sports enthusiast who finds joy in activities like long-distance running, cycling and swimming. He has consistently maintained a fitness lifestyle.
In May 2018, China started the selection process for the third panel of astronauts for the space station project. In addition to astronauts, this round introduced two new categories: aerospace engineers and payload specialists.
“Such division of responsibilities allows, professionals to effectively manage their respective tasks, ensuring the safety and reliability of large quantity of scientific payloads and experiments during long-duration flights,” said Gui.
“Since entering the application and development phase, the space station has witnessed an increase in the number of scientific experiments,” Gui said, noting that the level of expertise required for specific specialized operations has become more advanced.
4. What does Gui work as at the China Space Station?
A. A pilot. B. A payload specialist.
C. A fitness coach. D. An aerospace engineer.
5. How did Gui overcome the challenges during the training?
A. Exercising more. B. Discussing with students.
C. Asking for pilots’ guidance. D. Keeping running.
6. What can we learn from Gui’s words in the last two paragraphs?
A. The three spacemen manage to respect each other’s task.
B. His responsibility is to guarantee the safety of space experiments.
C. More scientific experiments have been done on the space station.
D. Advanced technologies are needed for space experiments.
7. Which words can best describe Gui?
A. Determined and calm. B. Creative and devoted.
C. Knowledgeable and energetic. D. Ambitious and strong-willed.
C
Climate change is making a safe, slow adjustment to heat much harder by upending(颠覆)what we’d typically expect as seasons change.
Although late summer can bring more extreme temperatures, early heat waves have a particularly dangerous influence. A large body of research tends to find that early summer heat waves can have higher rates of death compared to later in the season.
There are a few explanations for this phenomenon. One theory is that the most vulnerable populations will fail to fight the higher temperatures at the start of the season, so there are fewer vulnerable people in the more intense heat waves a few months later. A second explanation is the acclimatization(气候适应)effect, since people need time to adjust to heat. How much time a person needs to physiologically adapt depends.
The way we adapt to early season heat isn’t just about physiological changes in our bodies. Behavior makes a difference too, as do policies and infrastructure that help people cope.
The US still has few policies that help protect people from the most extreme summertime heat. Even the protections that exist around heat don’t focus on the vital early season. Besides, the protection measures, where they do exist, don’t typically kick in until after a certain date or when temperatures are above 95 degrees Fahrenheit, which is far beyond what some vulnerable populations can handle.
“We barely have enough resources to deal with what’s occurring right now,” said University of Arizona professor of urban planning Keith Ladd. “With climate change, we’re seeing increasing frequency, intensity, and duration of heat waves, so we need to adjust our response.”
8. What can we learn from paragraphs 3 and 4?
A. Our adjustment to heat varies from person to person.
B. Infrastructure will hardly affect our adaptation to early heat.
C. Old people can properly fight higher temperatures in early summer.
D. Physiological changes make a big difference to our behavior.
9. What do we know about America’s reaction to early heat waves?
A. Its response needs adjustment due to climate change.
B. It has enough resources to deal with the present situation.
C. Only a few measures concentrate on the deadly early season.
D. Its policies can effectively help protect people from the early season heat.
10. Which section of a magazine does the text probably come from?
A. Technology. B. Nature. C. Population. D. Politics.
11. What’s the best title of the text?
A. Climate change leads to early summer heat.
B. Why can early heat waves lead to more deaths?
C. How can we adapt to early season heat?
D. Early heat waves can be the deadliest.
D
A subway line that links downtown Beijing with Daxing International Airport in the Chinese capital now allows passengers to enter and exit stations by just scanning the palm of a hand, setting an example of how using biometric data in public transportation can make commuting more convenient.
The pilot program was launched on Sunday on the Daxing Airport Express subway line to spare passengers the trouble of swiping a card(刷卡)or scanning a QR code to catch a train , the Beijing Municipal Commission of Transport said.
Any commuter aged 14 and above can first register the print of either palm through a simple, automated process and provide relevant information to authorize the payment gateway of WeChat, a popular messaging app in China. Once the palm print is registered, a commuter can scan the palm at any automated ticket gate to pass through. The fare is automatically paid after exit. Besides, the registration is a one-time process and doesn’t require renewal.
“Passengers can just place a palm above the scanning machine when entering or exiting a subway station. The ticket gate will open if the palm scan matches the palm print registered voluntarily,” said Zhang Li, an expert at the Beijing Metro Network Control Center.
The biometric method combines the use of palm print and vein mapping, which are different for every individual. Therefore, data masking and encryption(加密) technologies have been applied to protect user information.
Xin Jianhua, general manager of the public service center at WeChat Pay, said palm scans can be gradually used in offices, schools, gyms and restaurants, as it requires no contact and is therefore safer and more efficient. “Currently, it is very useful for the elderly and those who have physical limitations,” he said. “Use of biometric data allows passengers to take subway trains if they do not have cash or when they forget their subway cards,” he added.
12. What do we know about palm scanning?
A. Anyone aged 14 and above has to register the print.
B. Passengers should have both palms registered.
C. There is an automatic payment after exit.
D The registration needs updating every year.
13. What does the underlined word “masking” probably mean?
A. Hiding. B. Decoding. C. Uploading. D. Removing.
14. Which statement may Xin Jianhua disagree with?
A. The future of palm scans is promising.
B. The new technology is more time-saving.
C. Palm scanning is of limited use to the disabled.
D. Palm scanning spares passengers the trouble of taking cards.
15. What’s the main idea of this article?
A. The ways of riding the subway in Beijing.
B. People’s attitudes towards palm scanning in the subway.
C. Beijing’s introduction of palm-print access on a subway line.
D. The advantages of scanning palms to enter and exit subway stations.

The day when the jobs were handed out was one of the most exciting days for all the children in the class. It took place during the first week of the term. On that day, every boy and girl was given a job for which they would be responsible for the rest of that school year.
As with everything, some jobs were more interesting than others, and the children were eager to be given one of the best ones. When giving them out, the teacher took into account which pupils had been most responsible during the previous year, and those children were the ones who most looked forward to this day. Among them Rita stood out. During the previous year she had carried out the teacher’s instructions perfectly. All the children knew Rita was the favourite to be given the best job of all: to look after the class dog.
But that year there was a big surprise. As a reward, Rita was given a little box containing some sand and one ant while other children received some normal jobs, like preparing the books or the radio for the lessons, telling the time, or cleaning the blackboard. Rita could not help feeling disappointed. Most of her classmates felt sorry for her. Although the teacher explained to Rita that this ant was a very special one, he couldn’t tell Rita that if she could successfully raise it, the whole class would be chosen to the tropical rainforest project together with other scientists. Though disappointed, Rita was determined to do her best. She said to herself, “I will turn this little task into something great.”
So Rita started investigating all about her little ant. She learned about the different species, and studied everything about their habitats and behaviour. She modified the little box to make it perfect for the ant. Rita gave the ant the very best food, and it ended up growing quite a bit bigger than anyone had expected.
The new term came. One day when they were in the classroom, the door opened, revealing a man who looked rather important. The teacher interrupted the class with great joy, and said, “This is Doctor Martinez. He has come to tell us a wonderful piece of news, isn’t that right?”
续写要求：
1．续写词数应为150左右;
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
“Exactly! Today I am here to announce the result of a competition,” said Dr. Martine.
