Strawberries look nice, but a light pressure can make them out of shape. Nowadays, there are many young people who are just like strawberries. They easily break down when they face difficulties. They don't know what to do when they are in trouble. They have a common name-strawberry kids.

It's been 51 years since man last landed on the moon, but now NASA (美国航空航天局) is planning to return as part of its Artemis mission (阿尔忒弥斯计划). This time, astronauts will be wearing a new high-tech spacesuit (宇航服) made by space tech company Axiom.

The spacesuit is a beautiful combination of black and orange, which will stand out on the moon's surface. The helmet is much larger than before, providing astronauts with a wider view (视野). (A) There's also a video camera that can send videos from the moon back to Earth. The shoes of the suit are also better insulated (隔绝) from the moon's cold surface.

Astronauts on missions before often found their suits to be large and heavy, making it hard to move easily. Having learned from a long history of spacesuits, this new suit has better mobility (灵活性). (B) It has more joints (关节) so that astronauts can bend (弯曲) over, raise their arms and move their fingers more easily, reported the BBC.

Also, unlike spacesuits of the past, this one has been designed with women in mind, with different sizes available. Spacewalks on the international space station had to be canceled for women in the past due to ill-fitting suits.

NASA chief Bill Nelson said (C) the new spacesuits "will open opportunities (机会) for more people to explore(探索) and do scientific studies on the moon than ever before, "according to The Guardian.

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，回答下列问题。

Rivers are one of our most important natural resources (自然资源). Many of the world's great cities are located on rivers, and almost every country has at least one river flowing through. That plays an important part in the lives of its people.

Most rivers begin in mountains and end in the oceans. Since the beginning of history, people have used rivers for transportation. The longest one in the USA is the Mississippi. The lifeline of Egypt is Nile. To the people of India, the Ganges is great, but it is also important for transportation. Ships can travel along it for a thousand miles. The greatest of all for navigation (航海), however, is the Amazon in Brazil. It is so wide and so deep that large ships can go about two thousand miles upon it.

Besides transportation, rivers give food to eat, water to drink, water for crops, and chances for fun and recreation for people who live along their banks. In order to increase the supply of water for crops, engineers sometimes build a dam (大坝) across a river and let a lake form behind the dam. Then people can use the water not only to irrigate (灌溉) their field but also to make electricity for their homes and industries. However, large cities and industries that are located upon rivers often make problems. As the cities grow in size and industries increase in number, the water in the rivers becomes polluted. People are learning the importance, however, of doing more to keep their rivers clean if they want to enjoy the benefits of the natural resources.

61. How many rivers does almost every country have flowing through?

62. Where do most rivers begin?

63. What is the greatest river for navigation?

64. Can people use the water behind the dam to make electricity?

I understand how you feel. Here is my advice.

I don't think it's a good idea to study at home in the evening. One of the main reasons is that you can't get any immediate help from your teachers or classmates when you have problems with schoolwork. Also, you'll find no friends to play or chat with during the break time. After all, to relax yourself is important as well before the entrance exams. There is another advantage of attending the evening self-study class. When you are being lazy, you might be encouraged by the hard-working spirit from your classmates.

So you'd better not change your learning place.
