21、The space community is taking the orbital debris (碎片) threat increasingly seriously these days. Multiple satellite “mega-constellations (巨型星座)” are in the works, making space traffic management and space-junk removal more pressing issues than they’ve ever been.
For instance, SpaceX has already launched more than 1,700 satellites for its Starlink broadband constellation. The company ultimately wants to launch around 30,000Starlink satellites into orbit. One Web has launched more than half of the satellites for its planned 648-member constellation, which may also grow beyond that initial number as time goes on.
In addition, satellite construction costs continue to fall, allowing more and more people to get satellites up and operate them—including folks with very little experience in the field. This opening of the final frontier is generally a good thing, but it further highlights the need for responsible action when it comes to satellite operation. In 2019, for example, the Space Safety Coalition (SSC) laid out a set of proposed voluntary guidelines designed to control space junk over the coming years.
One recommendation is that all satellites operating above 250 miles be equipped with propulsion(推进) systems, allowing them to get away from possible collisions (碰撞). The SSC also recommends operators who control satellites in low Earth orbit should include in their launch contracts a requirement that rocket upper stages should be got rid of in the atmosphere shortly after liftoff.
More active debris-fighting strategies could also be part of the solution. Removing just a handful of rocket bodies or dead satellites every year could help us keep our space-junk problem under control, according to some studies. And researchers around the world are developing and testing ways to do just that, using nets, harpoons(鱼叉) and other methods.
The space-junk issue is a global one, so governments around the world should have conversations about how to deal with it. Let’s hope the talks, the decisions and the tech end up outpacing the problem.
【1】What do the two examples in Paragraph 2 illustrate?
A．Orbital debris ensure satellite safety.
B．Constellations consist of many satellites.
C．Space is becoming increasingly crowded.
D．SpaceX has higher capacity to explore space.
【2】Why can more people send satellites into orbit?
A．Experience in this area is rich.
B．Satellites are cheaper to make.
C．Satellite operations require little skills.
D．Space is accessible to common people.
【3】What is an effective way to control space junk?
A．Remove dead satellites from orbit.
B．Cooperate in monitoring satellites.
C．Operate satellites at a fixed height.
D．Recycle a rocket shortly after liftoff.
【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A．Space junk cleanup
B．The risks of space junk
C．Space debris and satellites
D．Guidelines for space safety
22、Five years after they disappeared, lost jewels belonging to the wife of a US ambassador to the Netherlands were found.
Dawn Arnall had already received an insurance payout for her loss. However, the misplaced gems had been found and held for safe keeping by a hotel she stayed in. staff were unaware that the jewels were worth $ 9m.
The world is full of forgetful people. A man in the English town of Reading even left a sausage casserole in a bus. The dish ended up in the Lost Property Office until it was recovered by his mother, eager for her dinner.
A walker in the Lake District had his food in his mouth but … what about his teeth? After climbing a hill in 2007, David Packer stopped for a chocolate bar. He took his false teeth out, wrapped them up in a tissue and just forgot about them. It took more than a year for the walker to be reunited with them.
Over the past 78 years passengers on London’s transport network have left behind items including human skulls and gas masks from World War II. Since 1934, staff have handled an average of 200 000 items a year. Recently they have used computers to try to track down their owners.
But if you find something and can’t locate the rightful owner, is it_______? It depends on what’s found and how, says John Spencer, professor of law at the University of Cambridge.
“______________________________________________________________________.”

23、Feel Happier Today
When I learned that the most popular course in the history of Yale University—a psychology class designed to teach students how to become happier—was available online to anyone who wanted to take it, I decided I had to see what it was all about. After all, I’ve been writing about happiness for years, offering techniques and advice from researchers who found that this idea or that habit can boost well-being. I was curious to see what Yale professor Laurie Santos was recommending, but I assumed I’d already be familiar with many of the concepts. So I invited my husband, Ian, to take the course with me. I wanted to see how someone who hadn’t heard it all before reacted.
Santos’s online course consists of 19 hours of video lectures and is supposed to take ten weeks to complete, but Ian and I spent three months soaking up what she had to offer. We learned that the things we tend to think will make us happier—bigger paychecks, nicer homes, slimmer bodies—don’t actually add joy to our lives. But practices such as exercising more, socializing, getting enough sleep, and enjoying free time over making money do. “These constant practices are really what’s required to increase your happiness,” Santos told me after Ian and I completed her course. “It’s like a tire that you put air into. Occasionally it leaks, and you have to put more air into it. It’s not a one-time thing where you learn it and you’re good. You actually have to put the work in.”
Although part of the course focuses on the desire to get good grades and land the perfect job, we realized that these lessons aren’t helpful just for college students; Ian and I are both middle-aged, with six children between us, and most of what Santos said was relevant to us. “What the science suggests is that these tips apply cross-culturally, across ages, and no matter what job you have,” Santos says. After taking the course, I’m convinced that anyone who adopts and practices the strategies that Santos suggests can truly become happier.
【1】What does the underlined part “boost well-being” in Paragraph I mean?
A．Focus on fitness.
B．Improve happiness.
C．Make achievements.
D．Deal with stress.
【2】What is actually needed to make you happy, according to Santos?
A．Having much money to spend.
B．Having a good time at a party.
C．Living in a wonderful house.
D．Owning a beautiful figure.
【3】Which of the following statements does the writer agree with?
A．Her husband is expert at happiness.
B．She always knows the content of the course.
C．The course is not useful to college students.
D．The course is related to people of her age.
【4】What attitude does the writer have toward Santos’ strategies?
A．Positive.
B．Negative.
C．Indifferent.
D．Doubtful.
24、Jonathan the tortoise, the world’s oldest land animal, turned 190 over the weekend on the island of St. Helena, where he enjoyed a “cake” of seasonal fruits, leafy greens and vegetables, including carrots carved into the number “190”.
Jonathan was brought to St.Helena from the Seychelles in 1882 as a gift. According to Guinness World Records, Jonathan surpassed the previous record holder, Tu’i Malila, who lived in the 1770s until 1965and could be even older. He arrived in St.Helena as a fully mature tortoise, meaning he was at least 50 in 1882.
“The vet is still feeding him by hand once a week to boost his calories, vitamins, minerals and trace elements, as he is blind and has no sense of smell. His hearing though is excellent and he loves the company of humans, and responds well to his vet Joe Hollins’ voice as he associates him with a feast, Guinness World Records said.
“The tortoise enjoys the sun but on very hot days takes to the shade. On mild days, he will sunbathe his long neck and legs stretched fully out of his shell to absorb heat and transfer it to his core,” according to Hollins. When it’s cold, Jonathan has been known to “dig himself into leaf mold or grass cuttings and remain there all day.”
In most cases, the lifespan of a tortoise or turtle depends on the species and level of care they receive. They generally live much longer in captivity than in the wild, because in the wild, they must find their own food in addition to evading predators while not getting medical treatment. Larger turtle and tortoise species also tend to live longer than their smaller counterparts. For more information about animal record holders, click here.
【1】When might Jonathan be born?
A．In 1882.
B．In 1770.
C．In 1965.
D．In 1832.
【2】Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the text?
A．Jonathan had a birthday cake made of fruits, meat, and vegetables.
B．Jonathan was born and raised on the island of St. Helena.
C．Jonathan is the Guinness World holder of the oldest land animal.
D．Jonathan is a very old but healthy tortoise with full senses.
【3】Which is not a reason why a tortoise in the wild has a relatively shorter lifespan?
A．Species differences.
B．Food shortage.
C．Lack of medical treatment.
D．Animal enemies.
【4】Where can we probably find this article?
A．In a science fiction.
B．On a news website.
C．In a travel brochure.
D．In a biology textbook.
