24、
December 27, 2019 was an exciting day for Chinese people. China’s biggest and most powerful rocket, the Long March 5, was successfully launched in Hainan on that day.
The 57-meter-tall rocket is the tallest and strongest rocket in China. Since the Long March 5 is much bigger than others in the Long March rockets, it has been nicknamed “Chubby 5”, according to China Daily.
The rocket is able to carry things weighing up to 25,000 kilograms-the weight of 16 midsize cars, China Daily noted. This payload is about 2.5 times greater than any other Chinese rocket. The Long March 5 is the third most powerful rocket in the world. Our Chinese scientists are really proud of it.
During the December launch, the Long March 5 successfully sent the Shijian 20th satellite, China’s largest and heaviest home-made satellite, into space. In addition to sending the satellite into space, the launch also tested several projects that were used to improve the rocket’s basic skills. It also tested the key project that will be used to take the Change 5 probe to the moon, according to the China National Space Center.
In the future, the Long March 5 will be used for China’s fifth lunar expedition, as well as to place parts of China’s space-station into space. “In 2021, we will use the Long March 5 to launch the Change’s 5 probe to the moon and also send a special probe to Mars,” said Wang Xiaojun, the project manager of the Long March 5.

25、When I was young, I lived in Scotland with my parents. I had a good time there.
One morning, I ran to the garden, and said to the old Scotsman who worked there. “Today I am going up the mountain for berries.” No, no, Missey, not today.” he said, “It will rain.” “No, it will not rain.” I said, “The sun is up. The cook says it will be fine. The glass in the hall doesn’t say rain.”
“Tuts, tuts.” said the old man, I care for no suns, or cooks, or glasses. The pimpernel (海螺) says it will rain, and so it will rain. Flowers, Missey, always tell the truth. When they say rain, go and get your umbrella.
Sure enough, by noon the rain was pouring down. After that, I looked with great respect at the tiny flower sometimes brickred, sometimes blue, which could tell about the weather. But the pimpemel is not the only plant that is a weather prophet.
If you go into the garden, and find the African marigolds shut after seven o’clock in the morning, you may be pretty sure that there will be a rainy day. There is a little single marigold which shuts up in a hurry if the sky becomes clouded. It is called the “rainy-marigold”.
Most plants which we call “weather prophets” shut up for rain. But some plants open for rain. The cause of the opening and closing is probably the difference in light. Most likely these plants shut their flowers because there is too little light.
But you know there are some plants which become smaller in a strong light and love the shade. You will find that most shade-loving plants, as the verbenas, do not close for rain.
Lilies, tulips and other flowers that love the sun shut for rain, tulips are careful not to open their cups very wide in the morning if it is likely to rain. The roses make no change. They seem not to fear wet.
On the whole, you may be pretty sure, if you go into your garden, and find many flowers—as tulips, marigolds and morning glories-shut, it will be a stormy day, unfit for picnics or long walks.
【1】The plants which are “weather prophets” ________.
A.become smaller in a strong light
B.tell about the weather
C.open for rain and fear light
D.love shade and wet
【2】You can go out for a picnic when ________.
A.the morning glories and lilies do not shut
B.the African marigolds shut after 7: 00 a. m.
C.tulips don’t open their cups very wide in the morning
D.the roses shut in the sunshine in the morning
【3】What do we know from the passage?
A.The flowers have four ways to help people to get information about weather.
B.The glass in the hall has magic for the writer’s family to know about weather.
C.We can know about weather by keeping many roses at home or in the garden.
D.Missey will probably know about weather by watching flowers from now on.
【4】The passage is mainly about ________.
A.watching flowers carefully before going out
B.learning to watch flowers from the old Scotsman
C.the importance of growing flowers in the garden
D.the relationship between some flowers and weather
26、 There was a man named Zhou Chu who lived during the Western Jin Dynasty(265-316). He was very strong—stronger than any other man in the village. People were scared of him because he often bullied(欺负)villagers. At that time, a man-eating tiger and a deepwater monster(怪物) lived nearby. They often caused trouble for the village. People called them, along with Zhou, the "three evils"(三害).
One day, some villagers asked Zhou to help them kill the tiger and the monster. After three days of fighting, Zhou finally killed them and came back. But the villagers thought he was dead. They celebrated his death. After seeing this, Zhou realized how much he was hated and decided to make a change.
He visited a famous scholar(学者)named Lu Yim. Lu told him, If one realized what is good in the morning, he can change his behavior in the evening. Just do what you think is right." From then on, Zhou became a good person and stopped bullying others. Later he became a great soldier(战士)and died protecting his country.
Zhou Chu is a great example of the Chinese saying: "A prodigal who returns is more precious than gold." We all make mistakes. But it's never too late to correct them. On the other hand, we should also be more tolerant(宽容的)of those who sometimes make mistakes. Maybe they've made mistakes in the past, but they can do great things as long as they return to the right road.
【1】According to the passage, who were the three evils?
A.The man-eating tiger, the deepwater monster and Zhou Chu.
B.The villagers, the man-eating tiger and the deepwater monster.
C.The man-eating tiger, the deepwater monster and the enemies.
D.Some villagers, the famous scholar and the deepwater monster.
【2】What's the right order of the story?
①Zhou decided to be a good person.
②Zhou killed the tiger and the monster.
③The villagers thought Zhou was dead and celebrated his death.
④Zhou Chu often bullied villagers.
⑤Zhou became a great soldier and died for his country.
A.②③④①⑤ B.②③①④⑤ C.④②③①⑤ D.④③②①⑤
【3】The Chinese of the underlined sentence "A prodigal who returns is more precious than gold." is ________.
A.一心不能二用 B.浪子回头金不换
C.一失足成千古恨 D.玉不琢,不成器
【4】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Zhou Chu was the strongest person in his village.
B.It's never too late for everyone to correct his mistakes.
C.The villagers were afraid of Zhou Chu because of his looks.
D.Zhou Chu learned a good lesson from the villagers and Lu Yun.
27、In China, children like to make promises by hooking pinkies (勾手指) with each other and saying, “A pinkie promise must be kept for 100 years.” Then, they may press their thumbs (拇指) together to complete the promise. Sometimes, couples will hook pinkies and promise to be together forever.
There are many theories (推测) on the beginning of the pinkie promise. Some say it comes from a song for kids. Others say it was introduced from the West out of a love story where a man and a woman hooked fingers.
One theory is that it may have something to do with the role of fingers in Chinese culture. The Chinese character (汉字) for “finger” also meant “aim” in the past. So hooking fingers can be seen as the exchanging of thoughts.
Therefore, the fingers play an important role in making an oath (盟约): they can not only be used to complete a promise, but also be cut for making a blood oath. When someone swears (发誓) to god, they use their fingers to point to the sky.
Generally, hooking fingers means making a serious promise. In some gangster (黑帮) movies, a person who breaks a promise may have his little finger cut off! ▲ , but we can still see how important “pinkie promises” can be. So next time you make a “pinkie promise”, you’d better take it seriously!
【1】Children in China may finish “hooking pinkies” by ________.
A.pointing to the sky
B.saying words to each other
C.pressing their thumbs together
D.seeing a gangster movie
【2】According to the passage, “hooking fingers” means ________.
A.having fingers cut off
B.making a blood oath
C.making a serious promise
D.swearing to god
【3】The underlined word “aim” in paragraph 3 probably has the same meaning as the Chinese character “________”.
A.只
B.纸
C.止
D.旨
【4】Which of the following can be put in the “ ▲ ”?
A.Nobody wants to lose the little finger
B.Whoever breaks the promise should be punished
C.This kind of thing hardly ever happens in real life
D.That may not just happen in the movie
28、 Life as Chopsticks
Right now, more and more people are digging into their food with two sticks which 【1】(call) chopsticks. Even people eating with 【2】(knife) and forks begin to love them. What’s so special about them? Because they have deep【3】(influent) on many people’s ways of life.
Simplicity. There’s hardly anything 【4】(simple) than chopsticks. With new technology developing every day, there’s still something that has just one use---simply to eat. The chopsticks don’t cost much. In real life, we don’t need to keep 【5】(improve) things all the time.
Aim. When using chopsticks, you cannot pick up everything in one go. Know what you want and just do it. Sometimes, a little bit of focus makes the difference【6】 failure and success.
Practice. Using chopsticks doesn’t come 【7】(nature). You have to learn to use them and practice it. Most would agree that there’s no better way 【8】 to practice. In real life, you may have many things you want to do, but it will just be 【9】 dream if you don’t try doing it.
Slowing down. A healthy way to eat is to eat with chopsticks. It slows you down and it【10】(allow) your stomach to tell your brain you are full before you overeat. In our life, we sometimes need to slow down to have time to think, to realize that we’re actually full and don’t have to rush full speed through life.
29、Birth order, does it matter? Are you different because you are the first, second, or third child in your family, or maybe the last of nine?
A study found that first-borns have an average IQ that is three points _______ than people who fall into a different place in the birth order. Perhaps because first-borns often help younger brothers and sisters, which _______ their own skill. An international organization of the CEOs found that 43% of the CEOs are first-borns, 33% are middle children, and 23% are last-borns. First-borns are more likely to be doctors and astronauts and _______ higher pay.
If first-borns are more successful, last-borns are generally more agreeable(讨人喜欢的). They are also more likely to be funny and to get _______ from all the bigger people at the dinner table. Stephen Colbert was the youngest in a large _______, and Jim Carrey was the youngest of four. According to a magazine article The Power of Birth Order, last-borns are more likely to be famous artists and _______ businessmen.
Then there are the _______ children; we have not ignored(忽视) them! Many middle children are short of one-to-one time with their _______. They often feel short-changed; the oldest gets more rights, and the youngest is “spoiled”. Though they may be ignored, middle children are more likely to _______ into easygoing adults.
