27、200,000 miles from Earth, the crew (机组成员) of the third manned mission (飞行任务) to the Moon faced an astronaut’s worst nightmare: an explosion on the spacecraft. It’s what happened in the Oscar-winning film Apollo 13, but it’s also a true story.
The lift-off of Apollo 13 took place on 11th April 1970. Two days into the mission, the three-man crew were in big trouble. They had been carrying out routine checks when there was a loud bang. Warning lights were starting to flash. Looking out into space, they could see a trail of gas — the spacecraft was leaking (漏) oxygen. They sent out a short message to the scientists back on Earth: “Houston, we’ve had a problem here.” At first, they thought that a meteor (流星) had hit them, but they later found out that a short circuit (短路) had caused an oxygen container to explode. Whatever the cause, they knew there was no time to lose. Their electricity supply in the command module (指令舱) depended on that oxygen and pretty soon they would run out of both.
The only solution was to move into the lunar module — the section of the spacecraft that would have landed on the Moon. Now though, they were using it as a kind of lifeboat. With its own power supply, oxygen and water, the three men could survive in the lunar module and return to Earth. There was another problem though. In an enclosed space like a lunar module, the carbon dioxide the crew was breathing out was dangerous. The equipment to clear the air of carbon dioxide was only built for two people. Now it had to deal with three. Amazingly, the crew managed to build an adapter out of materials onboard to reduce the carbon dioxide to a safe level.
There was one final obstacle. The lunar module wasn’t strong enough to reenter Earth’s atmosphere so the crew had to go back into the damaged command module. To everyone’s relief, the crew of Apollo 13 arrived safely in the South Pacific Ocean on April 17th. Although the crew didn’t land on the Moon, NASA still considered the mission a success.
【1】What was the astronauts’ first reaction to the explosion?
A.They went out to land on the Moon.
B.They informed scientists on Earth.
C.They moved into the lunar module.
D.They looked into the cause of the explosion.
【2】How did the astronauts solve their oxygen situation in the lunar module?
A.By moving back to the command module.
B.By lowering the carbon dioxide level.
C.By creating a new oxygen supply.
D.By limiting the oxygen use.
【3】What does the underlined word “obstacle” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Step.
B.Choice.
C.Problem.
D.Solution.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.A successful mission
B.An amazing adventure
C.Deep space exploration
D.Life and death drama in space
28、 A couple in their 60s has travelled 12,000 miles across 16 countries from Britain to China - riding their bikes all the way. Grandparents Peter and Chris stepped on the long journey after deciding to “do something a bit different”. They traversed (横穿) cities, deserts, mountains and everything in between across Europe, the Middle East and the East Asia.
Peter, 66, said the moment they finally had a look at the famous Great Wall after a year and a half of cycling 30 miles a day was “really exciting”. At the end of their journey, the special pair didn’t fly home but instead choose to book a cabin inside a 400m-long ship.

Both Peter and Chris agreed that the best part of the entire trip was coming across the kindness of strangers along the way, many of whom invited the couple for food and drink.

29、Don’t know how to take care of your plants? A little spider-like robot will go for the sunlight, run to shade, dance when it’s doing well and stomp (跺脚) when it needs to be watered.
It’s called the HEXA Plant, a six-legged machine created by Vincross, a technology company in Beijing, China.
The plant robot will go for sunlight when it needs sun, then will move around in order to absorb the sunlight on all sides. When it needs to cool off, it will look for shade. It also plays with humans and dances when it is happy, moving its legs up and down. But it gets “angry” when it’s thirsty by stomping around.
With six legs, the HEXA Plant can move anywhere. It’s nimble enough to go in any direction and around any objects in its path. It has a variety of “eyes”, including an infrared sensor (红外线传感器), a distance sensor and a 720p camera with night vision, which could be very handy if you want to send it out at night to check on any sudden noises. It has built-in WiFi as well as USB ports to expand its talents.
The inventor of the cute robot, Sun Tianqi, was inspired by a dead sunflower at a flower exhibition that had been sitting in the shade all day. That was when he had the idea for the walking plant robot. He wanted to allow plants to experience movement.
【1】What can the HEXA Plant do?

31、Directions:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Donald Trump 【1】 his place as the United States’ 45th president after crossing the 270 electoral vote threshold(门槛) on November 9. The 70-year-old Republican will take over from Barack Obama, a two-term president to occupy the White House.
The rise of Trump, a celebrity businessman with no previous experience in the 【2】 or elected office, surprised nearly everyone in politics. Trump’s victory over Clinton will end eight years of Democratic 【3】 of the White House. He will govern with Congress fully under Republican control and lead a country deeply 【4】 by his campaign against Clinton. Given the numerous Republicans who never backed him, Trump will have to face divisions within his own party, too.
As he claimed victory, Trump urged Americans to “come together as one united people.” “I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all Americans,” he said in his victory speech. Striking a 【5】 tone, Trump continued that he would ask a few of those who had chosen not to support him for 【6】 and help so that “we can work together and unify our great country.”
As president, Trump’s government agenda remains unclear. The president-elect has promised to bring changes to the United States. He said he would build a wall along the U.S-Mexico border to stop immigrants from coming into the country 【7】, suspend immigration from countries with ties to terrorist groups, and 【8】 with foreign governments such as those of Russia and China. Trump has also promised to prioritize the economic growth that creates jobs and 【9】 incomes for all Americans.
Trump is a wild card, many voters said, but he definitely has a chance to be a successful president as long as he recognizes the responsibilities he 【10】 and follows through on his promises.
