1、   Have you ever thought of such question like? Why do I have to study math?" or "I am not interested in history at all. My dream is to be an engineer. Should I give history up?"

Maybe you are right. After you leave school, it's not necessary for you to understand everything. 1.But school learning is more than just getting knowledge.

2.首先，努力找到你对什么感兴趣。 At school, you study many subjects. You need to know what you like and what you don't like. This may be helpful to you in the future.

Second, maybe you don't like math and you want to drop it. 3.但是来自数学的能力能帮助你在将来解决许多问题。 So you should practice your brain by thinking more.

Third, you should believe in yourself. Maybe you learn English at school, but you don't need to speak English at all. 4.But learning English can show that you have the ability of learning languages. Suppose you go abroad one day and want to find a job there, how can you make it if you're not confident in expressing yourself in language learning?

Try to challenge yourself as much as possible. 5.你越多地挑战自我，你将会越好。

On June 17th, 2021, the Shenzhou XII manned spacecraft went into space.It took three Chinese astronauts Nie Haisheng, the astronauts came back to the earth. On September 17th, the astronauts came back to the earth. The return capsule（返回舱） touched down at the Dongfeng landing site in Inner Mongolia.

Before heading home, the astronauts first prepared their bodies. They did exercises to train their muscles, bones and hearts to prepare for coming into the atmosphere（大气层）.

During the journey, the astronauts experienced radio blackouts after getting into the atmosphere because of too much heat. This means the astronauts could not talk with the ground for several minutes. But thanks to the radar, scientists on the ground still knew where the spacecraft was.

When the spacecraft was about 10 kilometers above the ground, it still travelled at 200 meters per second. That’s twice the speed of high-speed trains! Their parachutes（降落伞）helped the spacecraft in its return. It slowed the speed down to 7 to 8 meters per second. These special parachutes were made in China.

The three astronauts carried out two spacewalks and set up equipment（设备）outside the station. They also did a number of scientific experiments （实验）and tests. They had video calls with President Xi Jinping and hundreds of researchers, they sent data back to the ground and organized the station. Shenzhou XII has shown that China is able to do long-term human spaceflight missions（太空飞行任务）.

【1】How long did the astronauts stay in space?

A．For three months.

B．For seven months.

C．For nine months.

D．For eleven months.

【2】What does the underlined words “radio blackouts” mean in Chinese?

A．广播

B．材料

C．黑障

D．速度

【3】The parachutes were used to ________.

A．test the speed of the spacecraft

B．stop the spacecraft from working

C．slow down the spacecraft quickly

D．stop the return capsule coming back

【4】From the passage, we know that ________.

A．the return journey was smooth

B．the return journey was dangerous

C．there were mistakes during the return

D．The spacecraft caught fire on the way back

27、Last week, my granddaughter started kindergarten, and I wished her every success. But part of me didn’t. I actually wanted her to fail in some ways because I believe that failure can be good for our learning process（过程）. Success is proving that you can do something that you already know you can do, or doing something correctly the first time, which can often be a problematic (存在问题的) victory. First-time success is usually luck. First-time failure, however, is supposed to be the natural order of things. Failure is how we learn.

In Africa they describe a good cook as “She who has broken many pots.” If you’ve spent enough time in the kitchen to have broken a lot of cookers, probably you know a lot about cooking. I once had dinner with a group of cooks, and they spent time comparing knife wounds and burn marks. They knew how much value their failures gave them.

I make my living by writing a daily newspaper. Each week I know that one part I write is going to be the worst part. I try my best every day. I have learned to love writing. A successful article usually means that I am discussing my familiar topic, writing in a style I am used to or saying the same things as anyone else but in a better way.

My younger daughter is a trapeze artist (荡秋千演员). She spent three years practicing a show, and she did it successfully for years. There was no reason for her to change it but she did anyway. She said she was no longer learning anything new and she was bored. And if she was bored, there was no meaning in putting her body into all that stress. She risked failure and great public embarrassment(尴尬) in order to improve herself.

My granddaughter is a perfectionist. She will feel her failures, and I will want to comfort her. But I will also, I hope, remind her of what she learned, and how she can do better next time. I hope I can tell her, though, that it’s not the end of the world. Indeed, with luck, it is the beginning.

【1】What does the writer think of his daughter’s changing her show?

A．He doesn’t think it wise of his daughter to do so.

B．He is worried about the risk his daughter takes.

C．He is very excited about his daughter’s decision.

D．He stands on his daughter’s side no matter what the result will be.

【2】The writer talked about his own experience to show that ________.

A．past failures made him afraid of taking risks in writing

B．we should try every possible way to avoid failure

C．the thought of failure will make you work even harder

D．we cannot depend on luck to live a good life

【3】The writer develops the article mainly by ________.

A．following the time order

B．giving examples

C．comparing different opinions

D．giving a reason and its results

29、You may have a lot of friends and expect your friendship to last a lifetime. However, lifelong friendships are not ________ what everybody can get. Friends sometimes misunderstand each other. For one thing, you may want your _______ to be near at hand, but also you need your independence (独立).

For example, when one of your friends comes asking _______ it is all right to spend the evening in your house, sometimes you just say “_____” to him or her because it is not convenient for you. Unfortunately, not all your friends _______ this type of independence. They believe that friends can ask for any favor and the answer should always be “yes”.

Also, misunderstanding sometimes happens when you ask for ______. You expect your friends to help you whenever you need. But the fact is, your friends may not always drop everything to satisfy _______ of your needs. This may make you ______ with them and your friendship could end. The most important thing for you and your friends to do is to always show understanding and respect for each other.
