11、oon.Strictly speaking, of course, the moon has no dark side. But because of the way it orbits Earth, our natural satellite shows us only one side the other is hidden from our view. No one even saw the far side until 1959, when the Soviet Luna 3 spaceship flew around for a look and sent back photos.
12、No astronaut or spaceship went there until this December, when the China National Space Agency (CNSA) launched a 2,500-pound lander called Change-4 to the southern end of the lunar far side.Change-4 operated a small rover (探测车) to survey the geography there for the first time ever. By examining the
13、geography of its landing area, Change-4 could solve longstanding puzzles about the moon, including how it formed 4.5 billion years ago. Change-4 also carried a very small lunar biosphere (生态圈) containing silkworm eggs and a tiny greenhouse designed to grow potatoes in order to study the growth of th
14、e seeds on the moon.Besides Change-4, China plans to launch Change-5 in 2019. Its mission will be to gather moon rocks using an orbiter, a lander or collector, an ascent stage (上升器) and a capsule that will separate from the orbiter and return the rocks to the earth. With these missions, the Chinese
15、will have shown complete mastery of flight in the space between the earth and the moon, said Paul Spudis, an experienced lunar researcher based in Houston.CNSA has already outlined ideas for Chinese astronauts to follow the robots to the moon. Pei Zhaoyu, deputy director of CNSAs Lunar Exploration a
16、nd Space Program Center, told that China plans a permanent robotic lunar station in about 10 years and suggested a human presence on the moon another decade or so after that. Spudis said Chinas ambitious Change-4 and Change-5 missions should send humans plans for lunar return into rapid development.
17、1、What do we know about the dark side of the moon from the first two paragraphs?ATwo western countries have taken its photos.BIt is hidden from peoples view due to the earths orbit.CChina is the first country to land a spaceship there.DIt exists because the sun never shines there.2、Why did Change-4
18、operate a small rover?ATo study the geography of the lunar dark side.BTo grow potatoes on the moon.CTo examine the growth of eggs and seeds.DTo survey the lunar biosphere.3、Which of the following can move apart from the orbiter of Change-5?AThe lander. BThe collector.CThe ascent stage. DThe capsule.
19、4、What is Spudiss attitude to Chinas Change-4 and Change-5 missions?ACautious. BDisapproving.CAmbiguous. DFavorable.22（8分）We humans spend about one-third of life asleep. Sleep helps us stay healthy, and it also helps our brain remember. Our brains need good sleep to remember what we do and learn dur
20、ing the other two thirds of our life when we are awake. Besides keeping us healthy, some new research shows that a good nights sleep helps make us more intelligent.Researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have found that sleep helps improve brain performance by shrinking synapses in the bra
21、in. A synapse is the area where cells pass messages to other cells.Cirelli is a leading scientist at the schools Center for Sleep and Consciousness. She found that sleep is when the human brain mixes information it has learned while awake into its general collection of knowledge. However, the brain
22、forgets unimportant details. This forgetting is important. It makes space for new learning and new memories.Cirelli said that the Centers research began with this hypothesis: We sleep so that our brain can repair and refresh itself. She said the idea seems simple and reasonable. However, testing and
23、 discovering how it works has been extremely difficult. Cirelli and Center director Giulio Tononi have been trying to prove the connection between sleep and the brains synapses since 2003. Cirelli said the researchers knew that “stronger synapses are also bigger.” So, they began their study by “meas
24、uring the size of the synapses” in the brain.They also knew that during sleep, the brain checks on all its synapses and resets itself for the next day. The team wanted to see if the synapses of the brain are bigger after being awake all day and smaller after a good nights sleep. Synapses are only ab
25、out 20-40 nanometers wide. So, the team looked for changes in these already tiny spaces between nerve cells. The team had lo wail until improvements in laboratory technology made it possible to see these tiny changes.Cirelli says they found that synapse size and strength are upset by being awake and
26、 restored by sleeping. She says our synapses shrink as our brains clean themselves during sleep. We wake up refreshed and ready to fill those synapses with new information.1、Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?ASleep can only keep us healthy.BSleep can help our brain f
27、unction better.CSleep can mix all the information.DSleep can take up two-thirds of our life.2、What does it refer to in Paragraph 4?AThe measuring the size of the synapses.BThe space for new learning and new memories.CThe way our brain can repair and refresh itself.DThe connection between sleep and t

We are trying out 3D paintings used as virtual speed breakers to avoid un
29、necessary requirements of speed breakers, Indias transport minister Nitin Gadkari wrote.The optical illusions(视觉错觉) are supposed to encourage drivers to slow down automatically. Earlier, India had ordered the removal of all speed breakers from highways, which are considered to be a safety hazard for
30、 high-speed vehicles. India has the highest number of road accident deaths in the world. According to the World Health Organisation, over 200,000 people are killed by road accidents.The use of optical illusions as speed breakers was first pioneered in the American city of Philadelphia in 2008, as pa
31、rt of a campaign against speeding motorists. The technique has also been tried out in China to create floating 3D crossings. In India, cities such as Ahmedabad and Chennai have already experimented with 3D zebra crossings in the last one year. In Ahmedabad for instance, a mother and her daughter, bo
32、th artists, have painted 3D crosswalks in the first few months of 2016. The artists say their motto is to increase the attention of drivers, and that the concept has been successfully tested in accident-prone zones on a highway.However, critics argue that once drivers know that these speed breakers
33、are visual illusions, they may ignore them. Others also point out that Indias decision does not consider the safety of a large number of pedestrians. In the end, the new policy may be just one step towards improving road safety.1、Why are 3D paintings used on main highways and roads?ATo make the surr
34、oundings more beautiful.BTo attract the attention of tourists.CTo reduce the rate of traffic accidents.DTo show the advanced technology.2、Which of the following words is closest to the meaning of “hazard” in paragraph 2?AReminder BThreat CRegulation DTheory3、What can we learn from Paragraph 3 and 4?
35、AThe use of optical illusions as speed breakers is controversial in India.BPhiladelphia is the second place to use virtual speed breakers in the US.CThe idea tested in Ahmedabad recently has been a failure.DThe new policy of 3D zebra crossings must be carried out.4、What do we know about 3D zebra cro
36、ssings from the text?AThey can immediately lower the death rate.BThey have been widely used in India so far.CThey are designed to increase drivers attention.DThey are welcomed by both drivers and pedestrians.24（8分） Christmas at the mountain cline would have to wait. The banks beside Mary Breckinridg
37、es Wendover, Kentucky, clinic were ruined after a heavy rain. She had to find a way to get her five patients to the hospital in Lexington.With a neighbors help, Mary and the nurses built a boat. They named it Ambulance, and on the morning of December 30,1926. Mary another nurse, and the patients set
38、 off down the river. After sixteen wild miles on the dangerous river, they arrived at the train station in Krypton. As she watched the train pull away with her patients safely on board. Mary smiled and waved.Mary had not planned to be a nurse. She was the daughter of a wealthy Kentucky politician. A
39、s a child, Mary was influenced by her family who had always been concerned about the poorer people of the state. When she grew up, Mary was inspired to become a nurse. So in 1925 Mary hired a few British-trained nurses and, with some money from her family, started the Frontier Nursing Service in Wen
40、dover, Kentucky.Before Mary and her nurses came, the mountain people lived a hard life. Families made so little money that they could not afford doctors or medicine. Many children had diseases and nearly every person was malnourished for lack of food.Mary and the nurses built clinics and a small hos
41、pital deep in the forests of Leslie County. There were no paved roads, electricity, or telephones. Each day the nurses rode on horseback to outlying farms, often in bad wenther, to answer calls for help. They worked hard to keep an eye on their patients.To the grateful mountain people, Mary and the
42、nurses seemed to be everywhere. They treated everything from cut fingers to pneumonia(肺炎), gave shots, and delivered babies. The proud countrymen liked the nurses because they treated everyone with respect.The Frontier Nursing Service grew. Today their Nursing Service reaches far beyond the Kentucky
43、 mountains. Medical professionals from all over the world come to Wendover to study rural health care in action. When these men and women go back to their own countries, they are prepared to help people in need.1、How did Mary Breckinridge get her five patients to Krypton?ABy trainBBy carCBy waterDOn

You go about your daily business for 12 long years and then suddenly the beach is back, all its glory restored by a
47、nother storm. This is what happened on the island of Achill, off the coast of Ireland, where people are celebrating the return of the beautiful Ashleam Bay beach that was taken from them in 2005.That in itself is unusual enough, but the story gets even better! You see, another beach in Achill did a disappearing act once, but took much longer to return. The beach at Doonagh, located only six miles away from Ashleam Bay, wa
