21、If you are ever planning to buy a telescope and want to get yourself involved in astronomy, it is always a good idea to know a bit of the sky. Know about a few constellations (星座) so that it will be easier for you to recognize the constellations when you are using your telescope.
It’s a good idea to buy a few astronomy magazines to help you know about the constellations in the sky and also read a few comments on different types of telescopes on the market. This will help you gather all the information that is out there regarding telescopes and what people say about them.
It’s advisable to go in for a pair of binoculars (双筒望远镜) which are very easy to carry and use before you buy your first telescope so that you can get used to locating constellations before your view of the sky is narrowed down. This will also help you know if you really want to get involved in astronomy. Many people buy a costly telescope and then discover that they’re not actually interested in astronomy.
It’s an obvious truth that experience has no replacement, and there certainly is nothing better than using different telescopes before you buy one, which will help you to get the feel of all the types of telescopes and you will know which one is easier for you to use. A large aperture refractor telescope (大口径折射望远镜) may give you an excellent picture but you may not be able to hold it firmly while using it, which may result in an unclear picture.
There are three types of telescopes that are available on the market. The first type of telescope is the refractor telescope, which provides a good picture but is not as easy to carry as the other two types of telescopes and so you will have to buy one with a small aperture. The second type of telescope is the reflecting telescope, invented by Isaac Newton.There is no added color in the picture caused by refraction of light. This type of telescope is easy to carry and the cheapest of all. The third type of telescope is known as the catadioptric telescope (折反射望远镜), which is the smallest type of all the telescopes and is more popular among astronomers.
【1】What will be required if one wants to use a telescope effectively?
A．The patience to search for constellations.
B．The ability to recognize constellations.
C．The desire to learn about the history of telescopes.
D．The willingness to listen to others’ comments.
【2】What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A．One must know something about astronomy and telescopes.
B．One can’t buy a telescope without buying several astronomy magazines.
C．One should check the telescopes on the market and try to find a better one.
D．One must be familiar with new information of astronomy and space instruments.
【3】What does one need to do before buying a telescope?
A．To seek advice from some experienced telescope users.
B．To get used to using at least one type of telescope.
C．To know whether he is really interested in astronomy.
D．To bargain with the seller over the price of the telescope.
【4】Generally speaking, which type of telescope is the biggest in size?
A．Binoculars.
B．The catadioptric telescope.
C．The reflecting telescope.
D．The refractor telescope.
【5】Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A．An Introduction to Astronomy
B．Buying A Telescope For the First Time

22、Niu Yu, 24, became a shining star at Shanghai Fashion Week for her confident and leisurely attitude while striding down the runway sporting a prosthetic leg. Niu’s minute in the spotlight has acquired many compliments(赞扬)on social media—a punch in the nose for prejudice against disabled people.
When the other models appeared, the audience cheered and applauded; but when it was Niu’s turn, the venue suddenly fell silent. Niu recalled that after four or five seconds, she clearly heard a female audience member next to the stage sigh in admiration, “So cool!”
Niu attended Shanghai Fashion Week at the invitation of a sports brand Pony. “I was touched by something they said and agreed. They said that traditional views have always connected sports with healthy legs, but sports should be a kind of spirit. Even if I do not have a leg, I still deeply love sports and will do so forever,” Niu said.
Niu lost her right leg after she was trapped under debris for three days during the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake, when Niu was only 11 years old. This is not the first time that Niu has been in the public spotlight. She first grabbed the public’s attention when she completed a marathon in 2018. The marathon was held in Wenchuan, Southwest China’s Sichuan province, on May 12, 2018, to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the devastating earthquake. The day was also Niu’s 21th birthday.
Niu works as a photographer and often uploads video clips from her life on short video platforms such as Douyin, where she has more than 850,000 followers. “China had 85 million disabled people with licenses in 2020, and we have no idea about the number of those who do not have licenses. However, it is rare for disabled people to be seen on the streets. I always thought about the reasons for this and then I realized it’s because they hide themselves.”
【1】What does the underlined word “prosthetic” in the first paragraph refer to?
A．Genuine.
B．Typical.
C．Plastic.
D．Fake.
【2】Why didn’t the audience cheer for Niu at the beginning of her performance?
A．Because Niu walked awkwardly on the stage.
B．Because the audience was astonished by Niu’s unique performance.
C．Because the other models blocked out the spotlight of Niu.
D．Because Niu took part in Shanghai Fashion Week at the invitation of a sports brand Pony.
【3】What does Niu mean in the last paragraph?
A．The government should give more licenses to disabled people.
B．Disabled people should go to the streets more often.
C．People with disabilities should be encouraged to present more of themselves to the public.
D．The modeling company should hire more disabled models.
【4】What would be the best title of this news?
A．A historical moment for the disabled.
B．Life of a survivor after a ruinous earthquake.
C．A strong-willed girl.
D．A shock to the fashion stage with one leg.
23、Starting in 1972，the National Park Service established a policy for forest fires called Natural Burn．It was acknowledged that some forest fires，such as those which were caused by lighting were necessary for forests to maintain（保持）balanced ecosystems，so the fire should be allowed to burn．However， a big fire in Yellowstone National Park in 1988 caused this policy to be abandoned since the fire was initially（最初）allowed to burn yet soon out of contro1．As a result，the fire of 1988 destroyed much of Yellowstone，which is America’s oldest and most beloved national park．Massive areas of plants were destroyed，and large empty spaces and acres of burned and blackened trees greeted visitors．The rivers and streams were choked with ash，and the ecosystem of the park was changed beyond repair．
In addition，great numbers of animals were killed by the fires that burned out of control．The fires were driven by high winds，moving as many as ten miles a day．Many small animals died in the flames．The fires’rapid advances gave the wildlife little chance to escape．Even today，few of these small forest animals have returned to live in the park．In the years immediately following the fires，the numbers of visitors declined．rapidly．No one was interested in seeing a blackened and treeless park on vacation．Yellowstone had previously been famous for its amazing views and unique geological formations such as the geyser（喷泉）Old Faithful．But now its reputation as America's wonder is damaged permanently．
【1】Natural Burn was adopted because some forest fires were __________

24、MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) are free, but without tutoring, and are open to anyone, anywhere in the world. The courses are flexible – normally three to five hours of study a week – done at any time, short (5 to 10 weeks) and video-rich. They are also heavily dependent on crowd sourcing: you can discuss a course with fellow students through online forums, discussion boards and peer review. Students don't have to finish the courses, pass assessments or do assignments, but, if they do, they get a certification of participation.
The Open University launched FutureLearn, the UK's answer to US platforms such as Coursera, EdX and Udacity, which have been offering MOOCs from top US universities for the past two years. The response has been incredible, with more than three million people registering worldwide. Meanwhile, in 2012, Edinburgh University became the first non-US institution to join Coursera's partnership, comprising 13 universities. “We already run 50 online master's degrees, so this was a logical expansion,” says Professor Jeff Haywood, Edinburgh's vice-principal. “It's an investment in teaching methods research. How am I going to teach introductory philosophy to 100,000 people? That's what I call educational R&D.” He adds “If you look ahead 10 years, you'd expect all students graduating to have taken some online courses, so you've got to research that. Our MOOCs are no more in competition with our degrees than a lifelong learning course because they don't carry credits.”
Cooperation is key, Haywood stresses. It is far better to offer 20-30 courses in your own areas of expertise (专门技能) and let other institutions do likewise. Professor Mike Sharples, FutureLearn's academic lead, goes further: “We've tied the elements available before into a package of courses offered by leading universities worldwide on a new software platform, with a new way of promoting it and also a new social-learning teaching method. You won't just receive an exam, but be able to discuss and mark each other's assignments.”
Bath University, one of more than 20 universities working with FutureLearn, launches its first course, Inside Cancer, next January, and regards MOOCs as a way of breaking down age barriers. "There's no reason why someone doing GCSEs should not look at our MOOCs and get quite a way through them, or someone at PhD level and beyond," says Professor Bernie Morley, expert for learning and teaching.
【1】MOOCs have these features EXCEPT that ___________.
A. MOOCs have a platform for learners to share their learning experience

C. Edinburgh University became the first non-US institution to join it
D. students can get a certification of participation without passing assessments
【3】What can be inferred from Professor Bernie Morley in the last paragraph?
A. MOOCs are not so competitive as lifelong learning courses due to the problems of credits.
B. Inside Cancer will be the most popular course for someone doing GCSEs.
C. People at PhD level have already known everything about MOOCs.
D. People with various learning levels will probably show interest in MOOCs.

C. the appearance of a new learning platform
D. the popularity of no-credit courses
