26、 Many people know that rubbish is a big problem on planet Earth. What many people don't know is that rubbish has become a problem in outer space too. Years of space exploration have left tons of “space junk” in orbit around the planet. According to BBC News,there are more than 22,000 pieces of junk in space around the earth. And these are just the items that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes. There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we can't see.
Objects,like bits of old space rockets or satellites,move around the planet at very high speeds,so fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become dangerous to people,particularly astronauts. If the tiniest piece of junk crashed into a spacecraft,it could damage the vehicle. That's because the faster an object moves,the greater the impact if the object collides(相撞)with something else.
To help reduce additional space junk, countries around the world have agreed to limit the time their space tools stay in orbit to 25 years. Each tool must be built to fall safely into the earth's atmosphere,or the mass of gases that surround the earth. In the upper parts of the atmosphere, it will burn up. Many scientists are also putting forward different ways to clean up space junk. In England a metal tool is being tested that can be fired into space rubbish,catch the rubbish,and then pull the rubbish into the earth's atmosphere to burn up. The Germans have been planning a space project with robots that would collect pieces of space rubbish and bring them back to Earth so that they can be safely destroyed.
The problem of space junk is very challenging,and it's quite urgent as well. One reason why it's urgent is that countries are sending more and more objects into space. Many of these objects are tools that help people use their cell phones or computers. The time to act is now. As we go farther in time we will need to remove more and more fragments(碎片).

27、The Banaue Rice Terraces (梯田) in Ifugao Province in the Philippines offer a great sight. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is also rich in history and features how human creativity can produce amazing outcomes. Through hard work, the Ifugao native managed to survive by flattening the mountain’s surface layer by layer and using them as farmlands. This practice of more than two thousand years has put together a well-known wonder.
There are several rice terraces in the Ifugao region but the Banaue Rice Terraces are the most popular tourist spot. The photos of this area are often used in printed materials like textbooks magazines and postcards. After getting a good look at the rice terraces, I was reminded of the first time that I saw their pictures in our textbook during my elementary days. I already found them amusing as a kid and seeing their beauty as an adult got me more amazed.
The tourism officer told us that we were lucky to catch them in their greenest form. If you plan to visit this tourist spot as well, you should take note that we got there last June 1. You can also take into consideration that the rice planting cycle is typically 3 to 6 months.
Unlike the other terraces, the local government created a platform that makes it easy for everyone to get a closer look at the rice terraces. The platform has four stone statues that they refer to as rice protectors.
It’s sad that the younger generation of Ifugaos are slowly abandoning the rice terraces. According to tour guide Alvin, the part of the rice terraces where people can see thick bushes and trees were former rice fields. But the children who inherited (继承) those decided to give up farming and work in big cities instead. I hope that a new farming method with modern equipment will encourage the Ifugaos to continue their rice terraces farming tradition to protect this cultural treasure.
【1】What can be learned about the Banaue RiceTerraces?
A.They are most known for their history.

C.To show the Banaue Rice Terraces are more suitable for kids to visit.
D.To show advertisements for the Banaue Rice Terraces spread rapidly.
【3】What is Paragraph 3 intended to do?
A.Tell us some facts about rice planting.
B.Encourage more people to go to Ifugao.
C.Raise public awareness of local traditions.
D.Share the proper time to visit the Banaue Rice Terraces.
【4】How does the author feel about the future of the Banaue Rice Terraces?

28、A picture of 17-year-old Zhang Guimei has won great popularity on China's social media. The young girl with black-rimmed glasses and two short braids is smiling brightly into the camera. Netizens are deeply touched by the fresh-faced girl in the picture, which is a far cry from Zhang's now aged and weathered face people are familiar with, as it tells a story of a woman who has devoted her life to promoting education and fighting poverty in rural areas.
Bom in Northeast China's Heilongjiang province in 1957, Zhang traveled to Yunnan at the age of 17 and has been helping girls from poor areas pursue education for over 40 years. Zhang helped establish the country's first senior high school to offer free education for girls from poor families. The school provides free education to girls who would otherwise have had no chance to study after completing their nine years of compulsory education.
Despite having serious health problems, Zhang Guimei took morning classes with students for 12 years. She has also racked up 110,000 kilometers visiting her students' families over the years. Most of her salary and bonuses were spent on students. Since the school opened in 2008, it has seen more than 1,800 students progress to universities and colleges.
“I was built to be a mountain not a creek, rising to the high peaks with the small valleys at my feet. I was born to be great, not worthless, standing on the shoulders of the giants, the petty cowards beneath me." The motto of Huaping High School for Girls is also a true reflection of Zhang Guimei's strength and resolve.
On Feb 25, 2021 President Xi Jinping presented an award to Zhang Guimei to mark the nation's poverty alleviation accomplishments and honor exceptional poverty fighters at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.
【1】Why are netizens deeply moved by the photo?
A.Because the girl's appearance catches their eye.

【2】What does the underlined phrase “racked up" in paragraph 4 mean?
A.increased
B.collected.
C.extended.
D.gained.
【3】Which of the following best describes Zhang Guimei according to the passage?
A.devoted, knowledgeable.
B.selfless, independent.
C.responsible, creative.
D.determined, ambitious.
【4】Where does the text probably come from?
A.A news report.
B.A biography.
C.A history book.
D.A storybook.
29、FOR thousands of years, Stonehenge has confused visitors with a seemingly unanswerable question: Why would anyone carry so many huge stones across Britain and put them in a ring? It seems even stranger when you think of the fact that it was done by prehistoric people working without modern technology, not even a wheel.
Stonehenge has started endless debates over the centuries. Experts have said at different times that it was a temple, a calendar (日历) or a graveyard (墓地).
Yet “all the ideas to date could be mistaken,” said Julian Spalding, a famous art critic (评论家) and former director of some of the UK’s leading museums. “We’ve been looking at Stonehenge the wrong way: from the earth, which is very much a 20th century viewpoint,” he told The Guardian.
Spalding has put forward a new theory about Stonehenge in his latest book, Realisation: From Seeing to Understanding. “The current theories about Stonehenge are based on looking across the ground, which is a modern idea,” he writes in his new book. He told The Guardian that in ancient times, spiritual ceremonies didn’t happen on the ground. Prehistoric people believed that in this way they could get closer to the heavens. So Spalding says that “rituals (仪式) at Stonehenge were performed in the same way – not among the stones, but on top of them,” reported The Washington Post.
He re-imagines a scene in his book, explaining how the mysterious site was used: Stonehenge held up a large, circular platform (平台). It was a raised altar (圣坛) reached by stairs, and thousands of people might have worshipped (祈祷) there.
To support his theory, Spalding lists examples from ancient civilizations worldwide. In China, Peru and Turkey, such sacred (神圣的) monuments (遗迹) were built high up, whether on man-made or natural sites. In an interview with The Washington Post, Spalding said the wood that would have been used for the platform had long since rotted away (腐烂), leaving only the stone pillars (柱子) that supported it behind.
So far scholars have had “a fair degree of skepticism (怀疑)” about these ideas, according to The Huffington Post. Sir Barry Cunliffe, prehistorian and Oxford University archaeology (考古学) professor, said: “He could be right, but I know of no evidence to support it ... There are a large number of stone circles around the country which clearly didn’t have a platform on top. So why should Stonehenge?”
【1】What is the article mainly about?
A. The history of Stonehenge.
B. A new theory about Stonehenge.
C. Why Stonehenge has started endless debates over the centuries.
D. How Stonehenge is different from other ancient civilizations.
【2】According to Spalding’s theory, Stonehenge ______.
A. was a prehistoric calendar
B. should be looked at from the earth
C. was a raised altar for worship
D. was simply a natural site
【3】How does Spalding support his theory about Stonehenge?
A. By raising questions.
B. By providing related figures.
C. By quoting other experts’ research.
D. By giving examples from other civilizations.
【4】We can infer from the article that Cunliffe is ______ Spalding’s theory.
A. supportive of B. amazed at
C. worried about D. doubtful about
