Chinese scientists have built a chamber t simulate (模仿) the cnditins n the surface f the mn t help make preparatins fr future lunar explratin.
The specially designed vacuum chamber is equipped with an electrn gun t negatively charge dust, deuterium lights t prduce ultravilet (紫外的) rays t generate lw-vltage psitive electrical charge, and a vibrating screen (振动筛) designed t simulate flying dust. Scientists at the vacuum chamber have made similar dust particles (颗粒) with similar features t thse n the mn. These elements tgether prduce a chamber which can test materials and items in simulated lunar cnditins.
The facility was develped by the Harbin Institute f Technlgy (HIT), based in the city f Harbin in Heilngjiang prvince in nrtheast China. “The cmprehensive lunar surface simulatr, which can simulate many envirnments which are very clse t the real state n the mn, helps us understand the lunar dust frmatin prcess in such an envirnment and its effects n spacecraft, spacesuits and astrnauts and prepare us fr a crewed mn landing in the future,” said Li Liyi, dean (院长) f the HIT’s Institute f Space Envirnment and Material Science. “At the experiment chamber, we can simulate six majr kinds f envirnmental factrs. It is an experiment facility that can simulate the mst envirnmental factrs and has the cmprehensive perfrmance mst similar t the real space envirnment in the wrld,” Li added.
A leading Chinese lunar scientist said that China is wrking t land astrnauts n the mn befre 2030.The cuntry is actively wrking n the hardware needed fr the missin, including a new launch vehicle, a new generatin spacecraft fr crew and a lunar lander.
A representative frm the China Aerspace Science and Technlgy Crpratin, the cuntry’s main space cntractr, presented an animated film earlier this year giving an impressin f what the future Chinese crewed lunar landing might lk like.
24．Why d Chinese scientists design a vacuum chamber t simulate the cnditins n the surface f the mn?
A．It can test ultravilet rays n the mn.
B．The lw-vltage electrical charge can be beneficial.
C．It can help prepare the cuntry fr future lunar explratin.
D．It is clse t the real envirnment n the mn.

Being a gd parent requires prviding a child with the gifts f lve, attentin, energy, and resurces unstintingly ver a lng perid f time. It invlves develping a small bdy, but it als invlves grwing a child’s sul.
Parents are an enrmusly pwerful frce in the lives f children. Whether Jhnny can read, whether Jhnny knws right frm wrng, whether Jhnny is a happy, well-adjusted kid, r sad and self-destructive, has a whle lt t d with the kind f parenting Jhnny has received. If Jhnny’s mm and dad have been able t cme thrugh with lasting, lving attentin, the chances are that Jhnny is n track t becme a prductive, cmpassinate (富有同情心的) persn. If they have nt, Jhnny is in truble.
Thirty years ag Chicag prfessr James S. Cleman shwed that parental invlvement mattered far mre in determining schl success than any quality f the frmal educatin system. Acrss a wide range f subject areas, in literature, science and reading, Cleman estimated that the parent was twice as pwerful as the schl in determining achievement at age furteen. Psychlgist Lawrence Steinberg, wh recently cmpleted a six-year study f 20,000 teenagers in nine different cmmunities, cnfirms the imprtance f parents. Steinberg shws that ne ut f three parents is “seriusly disengaged” frm his r her adlescent’s educatin, and this is the primary reasn why s many American students perfrm belw their ptential and belw students in ther rich cuntries.
A weight f evidence nw demnstrates bvius links between absentee parents and a wide range f behaviral and emtinal prblems in children. A 1997 study f 90,000 teenagers — the Add Health Prject undertaken (承担) by the Carlina Ppulatin Center and the Teenage Health Prgram at the University f Minnesta fund that yungsters are less likely t get depressed, use drugs r becme invlved in crime when they spent significant time with their parents. This study fund that the mere physical presence f a parent in the hme after schl, at dinner and at bedtime significantly reduces the incidence f risky behavir amng teenagers.
28．What des the underlined wrd “unstintingly” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．Abslutely.B．Obviusly.C．Carefully.D．Generusly.
29．What can be inferred frm Paragraph 2?
A．Children shuld be taught t be successful in life.
B．Parents’ character has a deep influence n children.
C．Children are affected by many factrs during the grwth.
D．Parents shuld be strict with their children abut behavirs.
30．What’s the purpse f Lawrence Steinberg’s research?
A．T knw the imprtance f parents’ cmpany.
B．T find ut why there are s many serius crimes.
C．T get ways t prevent teenagers’ bad behavirs.
D．T find links between parents’ educatin and crimes.
31．What’s the authr’s attitude twards parents’ cmpany with children?

In general, ur sciety is becming ne f giant enterprises directed by a bureaucratic(官僚主义的)management in which man becmes a small, well-iled cg in the machinery. The iling is dne with higher wages, well-equipped factries and piped music, and by psychlgists and “human-relatins” experts; yet all this iling des nt alter the fact that man has becme pwerless, that he des nt whleheartedly participate in his wrk and he is bred with it. In fact, the blue-cllar and the white-cllar wrkers have becme ecnmic puppets wh dance t the tune f autmated machines and bureaucratic management.
The wrker and emplyee are anxius, seemingly because they might find themselves ut f a jb r they wuld say that they are unable t acquire any real satisfactin r interest in life. In fact, they feel desperate as they live and die withut ever having cnfrnted the fundamental realities f human existence as emtinally and intellectually independent and prductive human beings.
Thse higher up n the scial ladder are n less anxius. Their lives are n less empty than thse f their subrdinates. They are even mre insecure in sme respects. They are in a highly cmpetitive race. T be prmted r t fall behind is nt a matter f salary but even mre a matter f self-respect. When they apply fr their first jb, they are tested fr intelligence as well as fr the right mixture f submissiveness and independence. Frm the mment n they are tested again and again by the psychlgists, fr whm testing is a big business, and by their superirs, wh judge their behavir, sciability, capacity t get alng, etc. This cnstant need t prve that ne is as gd as r better than ne’s fellw-cmpetitr creates cnstant anxiety and stress, the very causes f unhappiness and illness.
Am I suggesting that we shuld return t the pre-industrial mde f prductin r t nineteenth-century “free enterprise” capitalism? Certainly nt. Prblems are never slved by returning t a stage which ne has already utgrwn. I suggest transfrming ur scial system frm a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal prductin and cnsumptin are ends in themselves int a humanist industrialism in which man and full develpment f his ptentialities - thse f all lve and f reasn - are the aims f scial arrangements. Prductin and cnsumptin shuld serve as means t this end, and shuld be prevented frm ruling man.
32．By “a well-iled cg in the machinery”, the authr expresses the idea that man is _________.
A．an essential part f sciety thugh individual’s functin is negligible
B．expected t wrk in reasnable harmny with the rest f sciety
C．a replaceable cmpnent f sciety, thugh functining smthly
D．respnsible fr the smth running f sciety and business peratins
33．The real cause f the anxiety f the wrkers and emplyees is that _________.
A．they are filled with well-funded fear f being unemplyed
B．they dn’t have any genuine satisfactin r being unemplyed
C．they have t face the fundamental realities f human existence
D．they are deprived f their independence
34．Frm the passage we can infer that real happiness f life belngs t thse wh _________.
A．hld well-paid and life-lng jbsB．enjy high scial status and reputatin
C．utperfrm their fellw-cmpetitrsD．stay away frm ver-cmpetitiveness
35．T slve the present scial prblems the authr suggests that we shuld _________.
A．resrt t the prductin mde f ur ancestrs
B．ffer higher wages t wrkers and emplyees
C．enable man t fully develp his ptentialities
D．escape cnsumerism and embrace humanism

Art Builds Understanding
Despite the lng histry f schlarship n experiences f art, researchers have yet t capture and understand the mst meaningful aspects f such experiences, including the thughts and insights we gain when we visit a museum, the sense f encunter after seeing a meaningful wrk f art, r the changed thinking after experiences with art. These pwerful encunters can be inspiring, uplifting, and cntribute t well-being and flurishing.
36 It cntributes t facilitating a better understanding f urselves, the human cnditin, and mral and spiritual cncepts. The questin is hw that happens — what are the attributes f meaningful experiences f art?
Accrding t the mirrr mdel f art develped by Pabl P. L. Tini, aesthetic receptin crrespnds t artistic creatin in a mirrr-reversed fashin. Artists aim t express ideas and messages abut the human cnditin r the wrld at large. 37 This results in the build-up f layers f materials — frm initial studies and sketches t the final, refined piece. A viewer’s initial interactin with an artwrk starts where the artist has left ff. Their interactin first invlves the prcessing surface features, such as clr, texture, and the finishing tuches applied by the artist during the final stages f the creative prcess. 38
In additin, art making and art viewing are cnnected by creative thinking. Research in a lab at Yale University shws that an educatinal prgram that uses art appreciatin activities builds creative thinking skills. It shwed that the mre time visitrs spent engaging with art and the mre they reflected n it, the greater the crrespndence with the artists’ intentins and ideas. 39
Crrespndence in feeling and thinking suggests a transfer — between creatr and viewer — f ideas, cncepts, and emtins cntained in the wrks f art. Art has the ptential t cmmunicate acrss space and time. 40 What it takes fr this t happen is active engagement with art in cntexts that facilitate this engagement, especially museums.
A．The viewers gain a new perspective n the stry.
B．The thery f aesthetic cgnitivism describes the value f art.
C．This helps t create cnnectins and insights that therwise wuld nt happen.
D．T d s, they explre key ideas and cntinually expand them as they develp their wrk.
E．After spending mre time with the wrk, the viewer begins t access the ideas f the artist.
F．Fr example, in ne activity, peple are asked t view a wrk f art frm different perspectives.
G．Participants were mre riginal in their thinking when cmpared t thse wh did nt take part in the prgram.

28．D 29．B 30．A 31．C
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了父母的陪伴在孩子性格养成和品质养成方面的重要性。
28．词义猜测题。根据画线单词的后文内容“It invlves develping a small bdy, but it als invlves grwing a child’s sul. (它涉及到一个小身体的发展，但它也涉及到一个孩子的灵魂的成长)”可知，养育孩子不仅是让孩子在身体上成长，还有灵魂的成长。由此推知，作为父母，应该给予孩子在各个方面长期的、全方位的关爱。结合语境，画线单词所在句将这些关爱比喻成“the gifts f lve, attentin, energy, and resurces (爱、关注、精力和资源的礼物)”，那么给予礼物的父母应该是慷慨大方的父母。由此推知，画线单词unstintingly可以理解为“慷慨地”，与选项D“Generusly (慷慨地)”含义一致。故选D项。
29．推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“If Jhnny’s mm and dad have been able t cme thrugh with lasting, lving attentin, the chances are that Jhnny is n track t becme a prductive, cmpassinate persn. If they have nt, Jhnny is in truble. (如果 Jhnny的父母能够给予持久、充满爱意的关注， Jhnny很有可能会成为一个富有成效、富有同情心的人。如果他们没有，Jhnny就有麻烦了)”可知，Jhnny的父母在其成长过程中是否给予持久的关爱关系到他成人后的品行。由此可推知，父母的人格力量对孩子的影响巨大。故选B项。
30．推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“Psychlgist Lawrence Steinberg, wh recently cmpleted a six-year study f 20,000 teenagers in nine different cmmunities, cnfirms the imprtance f parents. (心理学家Lawrence Steinberg最近完成了一项对9个不同社区的2万名青少年进行的为期6年的研究，证实了父母的重要性)”可知，他的研究是对父母陪伴的重要性的验证。由此可推知，他研究的目的是了解父母陪伴的重要性。故选A项。
31．推理判断题。通过阅读文章内容可知，作者在文章中引用了各种专家科研数据和结论，比如第三段的“Thirty years ag Chicag prfessr James S. Cleman shwed that parental invlvement mattered far mre in determining schl success than any quality f the frmal educatin system. (30年前，芝加哥大学教授James S. Cleman指出，在决定学校成功与否方面，父母的参与比正规教育体系的任何质量都重要得多)”、第四段的“This study fund that the mere physical presence f a parent in the hme after schl, at dinner and at bedtime significantly reduces the incidence f risky behavir amng teenagers. (这项研究发现，仅仅是父母在放学后、晚餐和就寝时间在场，就能显著降低青少年危险行为的发生率)”等内容，都是用来证明“父母的陪伴对孩子影响很大”这一论点，即，这篇文章的中心论点。由此可推知，作者是支持父母陪伴孩子的。故选C项。
32．C 33．D 34．D 35．C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了不同阶层的人持续的焦虑现状。
32．推理判断题。根据第一段中“yet all this iling des nt alter the fact that man has becme pwerless, that he des nt whleheartedly participate in his wrk and he is bred with it.（然而，所有这些加油并不能改变这样一个事实:人已经变得无能为力，他不能全心全意地投入工作，他对工作感到厌倦。）”可知，通过“机器上润滑良好的齿轮”，作者表达了这样一个观点，即人是社会的一种可替代的组成部分，尽管运行平稳。故选C。
33．细节理解题。根据第二段中“The wrker and emplyee are anxius, seemingly because they might find themselves ut f a jb r they wuld say that they are unable t acquire any real satisfactin r interest in life.（工人和雇员都很焦虑，似乎是因为他们可能会发现自己失业，或者他们会说他们无法获得任何真正的满足感或对生活的兴趣。）”可知，工人和雇员焦虑的真正原因是他们被剥夺了个性和独立性。故选D。
34．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“This cnstant need t prve that ne is as gd as r better than ne’s fellw-cmpetitr creates cnstant anxiety and stress, the very causes f unhappiness and illness. （这种不断需要证明自己与竞争对手一样好或更好的需求，造成了持续的焦虑和压力，而这正是不快乐和疾病的根源。）”可知，真正的幸福生活属于远离竞争的人。故选D。
35．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“I suggest transfrming ur scial system frm a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal prductin and cnsumptin are ends in themselves int a humanist industrialism in which man and full develpment f his ptentialities - thse f all lve and f reasn - are the aims f scial arrangements.（我建议把我们的社会制度从以最大限度地生产和消费为目的的官僚管理的工业主义转变为以人及其潜能——所有爱和理性的潜能——的充分发展为社会安排目标的人道主义工业主义。）”可知，为了解决目前的社会问题，作者建议为我们应该使人的潜力充分开发。故选C。

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了艺术给人们带来的启示和影响。当人们第一次见到一件艺术作品时，我们的经历和感情或许会和它发生链接，从而影响或改变我们的想法，提高思想境界，但是这是如何发生的呢？文章就这个问题进行了讨论。
36．下文“It cntributes t facilitating a better understanding f urselves, the human cnditin, and mral and spiritual cncepts. (它有助于促进更好地了解我们自己，人类的条件，道德和精神观念)”开头出现一个代词it，说明它指代的内容出现在设空处；结合下文“The questin is hw that happens — what are the attributes f meaningful experiences f art?(问题是这是如何发生的——有意义的艺术体验的属性是什么？)”可知本段阐述了艺术在认知方面的价值：有助于促进更好地了解我们自己，人类的状况，道德和精神观念；B选项“The thery f aesthetic cgnitivism describes the value f art.(审美认知主义理论描述了艺术的价值)”起到引领下文的作用，符合语境；下文中的“It”指代选项中的“art”，下文中的“understanding f urselves, the human cnditin, and mral and spiritual cncepts”属于“认知主义(cgnitivism)”范畴的内容。故选B项。

(这促成了材料层的积累——从最初的研究和草图到最终的精致作品。)”承接D选项，指出探索并不断扩展关键的想法促成了材料层的积累，下文中的“This”指代选项中的“explre key ideas and cntinually expand them”；由此可知，D选项符合语境。故选D项。
38．根据上文“Their interactin first invlves the prcessing surface features, such as clr, texture, and the finishing tuches applied by the artist during the final stages f the creative prcess. (他们的互动首先涉及到处理表面特征，如颜色、纹理，以及艺术家在创作过程的最后阶段所应用的收尾工作)”可知，观众和艺术家的互动分为两个阶段，开始是欣赏表象内容，比如颜色，纹理等，接下来表达的意思应该就是深入了解一段时间后，观众可以理解艺术背后的观念，E选项“After spending mre time with the wrk, the viewer begins t access the ideas f the artist.(在花更多的时间欣赏作品后，观众开始了解艺术家的想法。)”符合题意，故选E项。
39．根据上文“Research in a lab at Yale University shws that an educatinal prgram that uses art appreciatin activities builds creative thinking skills. (耶鲁大学一个实验室的研究表明，利用艺术欣赏活动的教育项目可以培养创造性思维能力)”可知，耶鲁大学开展的一个研究项目表明使用了艺术欣赏活动的教育项目可以培养创造性思维能力；G选项“Participants were mre riginal in their thinking when cmpared t thse wh did nt take part in the prgram.(与没有参加该项目的人相比，参与者的想法更有独创性)”承接上文，继续阐述这项研究发现艺术欣赏活动有助于培养创造性思维能力；选项中“the prgram”指代前文中的“an educatinal prgram”，“riginal in their thinking”与上文“creative thinking skills”表达意思一致。故选G项。
40．上文“Art has the ptential t cmmunicate acrss space and time.(艺术具有跨越时空交流的潜力。)”指出艺术具有跨越时空交流的潜力；C选项“This helps t create cnnectins and insights that therwise wuld nt happen.(这有助于建立其他方式不会发生的联系和见解。)”承接上文，说明艺术跨越时空交流的潜力有助于建立联系和了解，这是其他方式无法达到的。选项中的“This”指代上文“the ptential t cmmunicate acrss space and time”。故选C项。

【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了几个高中生前往劳德代尔堡的路上注意到坐在他们前面的一个男人，他目不转睛地盯着手里的照片，陷入了一种个人的沉默之中。学生们开始对他产生了疑问，试图想象他的生活，男人告诉学生自己在纽约的监狱里呆了四年，现在他要回家了，他在信中告诉妻子如果她愿意让自己回去，她就在树上挂一块黄手帕，男人就下车和她一起回家。如果她不接受男人，就不挂手绢，男人就继续走下去。最后他们看到橡树上挂满了黄色的手帕。
