第一节阅读下列短文从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

A

I grew up suddenly that winter night after we said goodbye to my aunt,bec ause my mother toldme that we would soon leave for America.On the bus, thinking of the fact that I w ould leave theplace and people I liked, I couldn’t help crying.People on the bus were turning around to look at mecuriously.

Finally, the day came.When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going tosee—the strange and mysterious places I had known only from books and pictures.I was completely

ataloss.

The following four years taught me the importance of optimism,but the idea did not come tome at once.

For the first two years in New York I was really lost. I didn’t know whatwould happen in thefuture.Because of family moves, I had to study in three schools.Then my mother remarried,andthings became even more complex for me. It took a long time for my stepfather and I got used toeach other. I was often sad and wondered how long“the hard times”would last.

Since I knew English better than everyone else at home, I shouldered more responsibilities. Iwrote letters,filled out forms, translated at interviews with immigration officers, took mygrandparents to the doctor and translated there,and even discussed telephone bills with companyrepres entatives.

Slowly, from my experiences I have learned one important rule: those annoying troubles willfinally go away.

Don’t give up,and something good is bound to happen in the end. I firmly believe that my lifewill turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.

In the last c entury,a series of missions have been carried out to explore the moon-Earth’s onlynatural satellite.Among them,NAS A’s Apollo 11 mission was pioneering as it succeeded in landingthe first humans on the moon on July 20, 1969.

Several decades later,NAS A announc ed its Artemis program.Named after the Greek goddessof the moon and twin sister of Apollo, the Artemis program will send humans to the moon by theyear 2024.And this time, the moonwill welcome its first female astronaut.

Up until now,only 12 people,all male,have ever walked on the moon. “No woman has everwalked on the lunar surfac e.”Bettina Inc lan,NAS A c ommunic ations director said in a statement.But the Artemis program will change this.

Women,of course,have been involved in space projects and made valuable contributions. In1963,astronaut Valentina Tereshkova from the Soviet Union became the first woman to travel into

space.

However, the progress towardwomen’s access to space flight programs has been slow.Womenhave been held back by various requirements and security concerns.For example,astronauts had tobe test pilots with a certain amount of experience.This was a problem as the they were all males atthe time.

In 1962,NASAwrote to a little girl who wanted to be an astronaut.The letter said, “We haveno present plans to employ women on spaceflights because of the degree of scientific and flighttraining,and the physical characteristic s,which are required.”

Women have indeed made progress in this particular area,and have advantages over their malecolleagues.Women tend to be smaller,which means they use less oxygen and take up less space insmall spacecrafts.Also,women usually have greater communication skills that make thembetter-suited to long spaceflights.

Despite challenges,women have shown that they have the ability to join that great group ofmen who have gone to the moon.And this will truly be a remarkable moment in history.

4.What can be inferred from the passage?

A. The Apollo 11 was the first mission that was carried out to explore the moon.

B.Women made no progress in the space flight programs in the 20th century.

C. NAS A announced to send the first woman astronaut to the moon by 2024.

D. The Artemis program will only bring women astronauts to the moon.

5. The example given in Paragraph 6 is to show that________.

A. NASA took the little girl’s opinion seriously at that time.

B. it was impossible for a woman to be an astronaut at the beginning.

C. a lot of girls in America were eager to become astronauts then.

D. women had made great progress in space flight programme.

6.Which of the following is an advantage of women over men in space flight?

A.Women usually need more room than man do.

B.Women usually consume more oxygen than men do.

C.Women can easily get used to living in space.

D.Women are more likely to get along with others.

In order to reduce the risk of suffering from COVID-19,people are supposed to say no to ahandshake,give up high fives, refuse kisses on the cheek and absolutely avoid hugging. So peopleall over the world are changing their daily habits at work and at home to prevent it from spreading.

traditionally used to consume the caffeine-rich drink chimarrão.And a kiss—even if it is not on themouth—is totally adv is ed against.

(Angela Merkel总理想和内政部长Horst Seehofer握手 Horst Seehofer面带微笑没有伸手他rebuffed总理握手的请求)”可知 Horst Seehofer拒绝了总理握手的请求所以rebuffed是 “拒绝”的意思故选B。

【9题详解】

推理判断题。根据最后一段“The UAE(阿拉伯联合酋长国) is advising citizens to stop thetraditional“nose to nose”greeting.The UAE also said that people shouldn’t shake hands anymoreor kiss.Greet each other“by waving only”. (阿联酋建议民众停止传统的 “碰鼻”的问候。阿联酋还表示人们不应该再握手或接吻 “只要挥手致意”就可以了)”可知在阿联酋传统的问候方式不再被建议使用故选A。
