21、 Most of us have looked up at the stars that fill the night sky and wondered whether we’re alone in the universe. Indeed, the question of whether there’ s life out there has been something humankind ’s been asking itself for countless years. But thanks to China’s Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST), the answer to this question may come a lot sooner than we expected.
The telescope has a huge round reflector, which measures 500 meters across and has a perimeter（周长）of 1.6 kilometers. Because of its great size, it would have been both difficult and inefficient to get FAST to move like a regular telescope. Instead, FAST’s designers came up with a great solution: its surface is made up of 4450 panels which can be individually adjusted. This clever design feature allows scientists to detect radio signals from any angle with a great degree of accuracy. “Panels can change their positions through connected wires and parallel （关联的） robots. We can control their position with an accuracy of 1 mm,” Zheng Yuanpeng, chief engineer of the telescope’s panel project, told Xinhua News Agency.
FAST’s engineers also had the task of finding a suitable location. As any interference would affect its ability to detect distant radio waves, it needed to be built in a remote area. Luckily, the perfect spot was found in the beautiful mountains of Guizhou Province. “There are three hills about 500 meters away from one another, creating a valley that is perfect to support the telescope," Sun Caihong, chief engineer of FAST’ s construction, told Xinhua.
And although it wasn’t yet fully operated, FAST had already made great discoveries by October 2017. Since 1967, only around 2000 pulsars （脉冲星） have been discovered, yet FAST had detected six more by October 2017. Once FAST is fully up and running, we may finally have the answer to one of the biggest questions in history.
【1】What is the purpose of mentioning the question in Paragraph 1?
A.To introduce the new giant telescope.
B.To explain why there is life in universe.
C.To remind readers to think about the life in space.
D.To emphasize the question that should be answered.
【2】What can we know from Paragraph 2?
A.The telescope is made up of many panels.
B.The area of FAST is about 800 square kilometers.
C.The engineer can handle FAST’s position accurately.
D.The individual panel helps scientists catch radio signals.
【3】Why was FAST built in Guizhou?
A.Because Guizhou is a remote province.
B.Because Guizhou has an ideal valley.
C.Because Guizhou has beautiful mountains.
D.Because Guizhou has the ability to build it.
【4】What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A.FAST’s timeline. B.FAST’s future.
C.FAST’s operation. D.FAST’s discoveries.
22、 Owning a lovable,cute pet can unquestionably make one’s home life better and obviously,it can affect pet owners’professional lives as well.In fact,according to a new survey,people who have owned pets may be more professionally successful,and this is definitely good news for ambitious pet parents.
The survey was conducted by Kelton Global Research for Banfield Pet Hospital,according to Fast Company.The researchers surveyed 857 adults in the United States with a variety of careers,as explained in the survey summary on Banfield’s website.Among the C-suite executives(CEOs,etc.)surveyed,93 percent grew with a pet in their home,with 78 percent claiming that growing up with a pet helped cause their career suceess as an adult.Interestingly,83 percent of C-suite executives who participated said they grew up with a dog,59 percent of them said they grew up with a cat,and 37 percent of them said they grew up with another kind of pet.(You’re correct these numbers do not add up.It would seem that many of the people interviewed grew up with multiple kinds of pets.)
So,how exactly does pet ownership cause career success? Well,according to Banfield’s research,executives reported that their pet helped teach them lessons like responsibility,creativity,empathy,discipline,and organization,which have all been valuable in the business world.But what about people who grew up pet-less,but have adopted pets as adults? Luckily for those,the survey showed that current pet ownership can also help with professional success.
According to the research,86 percent of current pet parents surveyed said owning pets helps them stick to a routine,better manage their time,and multitask more efficiently.But even if you don’t think your pet ham directly helped you,your coworkers’knowledge that yon have a pet may actually be beneficial for your career.In fact,80 percent of people surveyed said they“feel more connected to colleagues who are pet owners,”and 79 percent of those surveyed believe that fellow co-workers who have pets are“hard workers.”

23、It was the winter when I taught in a small country school on the west coast of Vancouver Island. I had three grades of little people in my class, all beaming with the desire to learn all they could. One little boy named David from my grade one class wanted to learn more than all the others. His round swollen face would smile up at me, reminding me over and over of his disease—leukemia. More often than not, he would be missing from our classroom for rounds of treatments.
All of us were so pleased, then, to have that happy little boy with us for Christmas. We decorated our classroom, practised for the concert, and prepared Christmas stories to share.
Two days before school let out for the three-week Christmas holiday, I read a story to the class. It was the story of “The Littlest Angel”. This little angel had an awful time in heaven. He could not adjust to the routine. He was always in trouble, bumping into other angels, tripping over clouds or dropping his halo. Nothing seemed to make his time easier until one celestial day an archangel suggested that the little angel take some items with him. Just a few things to remind him of his good old days, which might be of some help.
As I read the story, a complete silence fell over the class as each child became more involved in the plight of the angel. Everyone was sympathetic for his misfortune, including David.
The following day during our regular show-and-tell time, holding a small wooden box, David began his sharing, “This is my first tooth,” he explained. “This is a ribbon from my sister’s hair, and this is my puppy’s collar. My dad gave me this old key. My mom says this big coin is for good luck.” Even before he told us the purpose of the box, we all seemed to know. Shiny tears went dot-to-dot down the faces of the other children. The rest of the day witnessed all of us carefully preparing items to fill David’s wooden box.
When the holidays came to a close, we all returned to our class—all except David. He had got a good chance and left for a big city to get better treatment, clutching the wooden box that held his hope and memories, and ours.
【1】What can we learn about David from the first paragraph?

24、A Neste fuel station in Finland is currently the only place in the world where you can have your car refueled by a robot. It’s the pilot site chosen by Autofuel, a Danish startup, to test its futuristic refueling system — a robotic arm that can locate a car’s fuel tank door, select the right type of fuel, and operate the pump (加油泵).
“Our technology intends to provide the customers with maximum comfort and safety at gas stations,” Jonas Thor Olsen, CEO of Autofuel, said. “The robotic arm doesn’t need human involvement. It allows them to go to the shop for a coffee or take a short break while the car is refueled.”
Autofuel’s solution consists of a robotic arm housed within the fuel pump, and a series of sensors and cameras designed to keep things running smoothly. Cameras detect the vehicle’s registration number, so the system is able to detect what kind of fuel it requires. Another camera directs the car to stop in a certain area so that the arm can easily reach the fuel tank door. The arm itself then starts to move, opening the door, selecting the right fuel and finally refueling the car.
The whole thing looks great in promotional videos, but after one of them recently became popular online, people brought up a few concerns. First of all, in order for the entire process to work, one needs to have their vehicle registered with Autofuel. That’s information many people have no inclination to share for something as small as refueling. Also, the speed at which the robotic arm operates worries a lot of people as it appears to move much slower than a human.
With robots and Al becoming such a big part of our lives lately, it’s easy to imagine solutions like Autofuel becoming mainstream in the near future. But any new innovation has to be tested and improved over and over again.
【1】What is a robotic arm’s promotional advantage concerning car refueling?
A．It moves faster than a human.
B．It doesn’t need car registration.
C．It can park cars automatically.
D．It requires no human assistance.
【2】What does the underlined word “inclination” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Opportunity.
B．Permission.
C．Willingness.
D．Ability.
【3】How does the author find the robotic arm?
A．It is well accepted.
B．It is far from perfect.
C．Its structure is strange.
D．Its function is meaningless.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A．This Robotic Arm Will Refuel Your Car
B．An Innovation Has Been Improved Greatly
C．Some Negative Views on a Refueling Solution
D．A More Efficient Assistant at the Gas Station

26、Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated.Use your own words as far as possible.
For students chasing lasting wealth,the best choice of a college major is less obvious than you might think.
The conventional wisdom is that computer science and engineering majors have better employment prospects and higher earnings than their peers in liberal arts.
This is true for the first job,but the long-term story is more complicated.The advantage for STEM majors fades steadily after their first jobs,and by age 40,the earnings of people majoring in fields like social science or history have caught up or even surpassed.
This happens for two reasons.First,many of the latest technical skills that are in high demand today become out-dated when technology progresses.Older workers must learn these new skills on the fly,while younger workers may have learned them in school.Skill undesirability and the increased competition from younger graduates together lower the earnings advantage for STEM degree-holders as they age.
Second,although liberal arts majors start low,they gradually catch up to their peers in STEM fields.A liberal arts education fosters valuable “soft skills” like problem-solving,critical thinking and adaptability.Such skills are hard to quantify,but they have value in a wide variety of careers in the long run.
Why did that happen?According to a 2018 survey,the three qualities of college graduates employers considered must important were written communication,problem-solving and they ability to work in a team.In liberal arts traditions,these skills are built through the dialogue between instructors and students and a broad range of subjects.
I’m not suggesting that students should avoid majoring in STEM fields,but I do think we should be careful of the urge to make college curricula ever more technical and career-focused.A balanced choice should prepare students for a future that none of us can imagine.
