A
Long, long ago there was no zero. To write the number sixty-three people wrote 63.To write six hundred and three, people wrote 6 3.The space between six and three was there to mean" not any "tens. Sometimes people did not remember the space. It was hard to see and read. Later people used a dot to hold the space. Six hundred and three looked like this 6﹒3.But the dot (点) was hard to see. So people put a circle around it like this 6⊙3.Then people could see the dot. They remembered the space. At last, only the circle around the dot was used. It was like a zero. This is one story of how the zero came to be used. Now zero has many important uses .Zero tells how many. Can you tell some other ways of using zero?
( )31. Long, long ago if they wrote two hundred and eight, people wrote_____.
A. 28 B. 2 8 C. 228 D. 20868.
( )32. Later ______ was used to mean space.
A. “not any” B.letter"0" C. zero D. a dot

①When we see well, we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.
②People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Everything else seems blurry (=unclear). Many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become near—sighted.
③People who are far-sighted（远视）suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses, too.
④Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism (散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.
⑤Having two good eyes is important for judging(判断) distances(距离). Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle. To prove this to yourself, look at an object out of one eye; then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the object’s relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.
( )34. When things far away seem unclear, one is probably _____ .
A. near-sighted B. far-sighted
C. astigmatic D. suffering from cataracts
( )35. Having two eyes instead of one is especially useful for _____ .
A. seeing at night B. seeing objects far away
C. looking over a wide area D. judging distances
( )36.Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage?
A. B. C. D.




C
The government in China plans to end its one-child policy and let families have two children.
The plan was announced on Thursday after high-level political meetings in Beijing. A Chinese Communist Party statement gave a number of reasons for the change in policy. The statement said the change is meant to balance development, stop a falling birth rat (出生率) and strengthen the country’s labor force (劳动力).
China，with the largest population in the world, started the one-child policy in 1980. But the government allow only a small number of couples to have two children. For example, some families in the countryside could have two children， if the first-born child is a girl.
In 2013, the Chinese government gave other couples a chance to have two children if one of was an only child.
Jiang Quanbao, a teacher and population expert, explained how Chinese families react to the newest policy. “Too many young people in the cities are no longer interested in having a second child, ” he said. “People in the countryside are more interested. But some of them are already allowed to have two children.”
At the end of 2014, China had a population of 1.37 billion people. A total of 800 million of them have jobs. But the labor market population will drop in 35 years. That is to say，the country will be in great need of labor by the year 2050. With the two-child policy, an increase in births can solve this problem.
Boys and girls，what do you think of the two-child policy? Do you want to have a new- born brother or a sister?
( )37. Why does the government plan to end the one child policy?
A. Because we need a larger population.
B. Because millions of people have jobs.
C. Because most families want to have a second child.
D. Because a falling birth rate must be stopped.
( )38. How do most young people in the cities react to the two child policy?
A. They support the policy. B. They don't think it is good.
C. They're very interested D. They're not interested any more.
( )39. When will our country be seriously short of labor if the one-child policy continues?
A. In 2015. B. In 2035. C. In 2050. D. In 2070
( )40. The Two-Children policy mainly__________.
A. helps solve the problems of aging population and labor shortages.
B. doesn't allow one couple to have two children.
C. has a bad influence on one's mental health.
D. encourages one couple to have more than two children.
D
Every now and then you may see news of satellites(卫星)sent into space. On Feb 21, for example, US company SpaceX took 46 satellites into orbit (轨道). China sent 22 satellites into space. Why do we need so many satellites? What do they do out there?
At present, there are more than 3,000 active satellites moving around the Earth, according to Statista, a German company working on market data. Satellites do all kinds of work, from transmitting(传送) TV signals to giving you directions on the road to helping scientists do research.
For example, the 22 satellites China just sent up are part of the Beidou Navigation Satellite System (北斗卫星导航系统). Shared bikes that use BeiDou chips (芯片) can have more accurate(精准的) positioning, making them easier to find. Drones(无人机) use BeiDouto fly.
Before satellites, TV signals didn't go very far. Mountains or tall buildings would block(阻碍) them. Phone calls to faraway places were also a problem. Setting up telephone wires(线) over long distances(距离) is difficult. With satellites, TV signals and phone calls can be sent directly to a satellite and back down to different locations on Earth. SpaceX's Starlink project is trying to go further. It plans to use satellites to provide Internet in the future.
Satellites can also provide information about clouds, oceans, land and ice. They help scientists predict changes in weather and climate. By monitoring(监测) wildfires and volcanoes，satellites help emergency workers(应急人员) deal with natural disasters.
Farmers can use satellite images to decide the best time to water their fields.
Some satellites fly near other planets. They may look for water on Mars or take close-up pictures of Saturn's rings(土星环). In 2020, video website Bilibili sent a satellite into space. Its job is to look at other planets and share the pictures and videos with Bilibili’s users.
( )41. What does the writer want to express in Paragraph 1?
A. There is a serious competition between China and the US.
B. The US has the most satellites in space.
C. China has 22 satellites in space altogether.
D. Humans have sent many satellites into space.
( )42. The satellites for the Beidou system can help___________.
A. shared bikes last longer
B. locate items more accurately
C. Beidou chips work more accurately
D. drones fly farther
( )43. What can satellites do at present, according to the story?
a. Transmit telephone signals.
b. Help scientists do researches.
c. Provide information about the environment.
d. Stop natural disasters.
A.abc B.abd C.acd D.bcd
( )44. According to the passage, which statement is NOT TRUE?
A. People already use satellites to provide Internet.
B. Satellites help a lot in farming.
C. Satellites may help to take close-up pictures.
D. With the help of satellites, scientists can do research better.
( )45.What is the main message of the story?
A. The difficulty of sending a satellite into space.
B. Advantages and disadvantages of satellites.
C. Why countries are competing to send satellites into space.
D. What satellites can do for us.
