down”lifestyle,recentlystruck a chord withmany young Chinese who are eager to take pause tobreathe in this fast-paced and highly-competitive society.Many millennials(千禧一代)and generation Zs complained to the Global Times that burdens,including workstress,family disputes(纷争)and financial strains,have pushed them“against the wall”.They said they hate the“involution(内卷),”joking that they would rather give up some of what they have than get trapped in an endlesscompetition against peers.“Instead of always following the virtues of struggle,endure and sacrifice to bear the stresses,they prefer atemporary lying down as catharsis(宣泄)and adjustment,”said a scholar.“It is no wonder that some youngpeople,under the growing pressures from child-raising to paying the mortgage(按揭)today,would try to live in asimple way and leave the worries behind.”Interestingly,the majority of millennials and Gen Zs reached by the Global Times,who claim to be big fans ofthe lying down philosophy,acknowledged that they only accept a temporary lying down as a short rest.It is truethat with the great improvement of living conditions,some Chinese youth have partially lost the spirit of hardshipand are not willing to bear too much hard work.But in fact,lying down is not entirely comfortable.Young peoplewho lie down always feel guilty about their constant loss of morale(士气)far beyond their reach.“Young people on campus have both aspirations and confusion about their future,but most of us haverejected setting ourselves up in chains to waste opportunities and challenges,”a postgraduate student told theGlobal Times.“Its no use running away.I have to stand up and face the reality sooner or later.”4.What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 1 mean?A.Warned.B.Criticized.C.Touched.D.Amused.5.What might have caused the“lying down”lifestyle among the young?A.Improvements in living conditions.B.Growing pressure from family and social life.C.Increasing material possessions from families.D.Temporary adjustment to failure in competitions.6.Whats the scholars attitude toward the“lying down”group?A.Understanding.B.Intolerant.C.Supportive.D.Unclear.7.What can be inferred about the young generation from the text?A.They never really drop their responsibilities.B.They really enjoy the“lying down”lifestyle.C.They find their dreams far beyond their reach.D.They would rather escape than take challenges.CAn unmanned Chinese spacecraft left the earth on a trip to the planet Mars on Thursday.The launch（发射）marks the start of one of Chinas most important space explorations.Chinas national space agency launched thespacecraft called Tianwen-1 fromthe Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Center on Hainan Island.The name Tianwen means“Questions to Heaven”in Chinese.The spacecraft took off on Chinas largestcarrier rocket,the Long March 5,and about 36 minutes later,the spacecraft,including an orbiter（轨道飞行器）and a rover（漫游车），was sent into the Earth-Mars orbit.It is expected to reach the orbit of the red planet nextFebruary.Tianwen-1 will finish three scientific goalsorbiting the red planet,landing on the Mars and sending arover to the landing site.Tianwen-1 carries several scientific instruments to observe the planets atmosphere and surface.It will do aseries of scientific researches on the planets soil,geological structure,environment,atmosphere and water.Besides its daily work of exploring the surface of Mars for 90 days,it will also report back to the earth about itsexperiences on the red planet,which is millions of miles away.According to experts,discovering signs of life willbe its first and most important scientific goal.Tianwen-1s successful landing will make China the second nation to place a spacecraft on Mars.The UnitedStates has landed eight vehicles on Mars since 1976.China will be the first to successfully orbit,land and place avehicle in the same mission.This is Chinas first independent mission to Mars.The task in 2011 failed when aRussian rocket carrying a Chinese orbiter had problems after launch,and was unable to escape the Earth orbit.Last year,Chinas Chang e-4 spacecraft became the first to make a landing on

moon.11.Where can you find this article?A.In a newspaper.B.In a diary.C.In a sci-fi novel.D.In a guide book.DThe climate change is already eating into the output of the worlds agricultural systems,with productivitymuch lower than it would have been if humans hadnt rapidly heated the planet,new research has found.Advances in technology,fertilizer(化肥)use and global trade have allowed food production to keep pace withan increasing global population since the 1960s.But rising temperatures in this time have acted as a handbrake(手刹)to farming productivity of crops,according to the new research,published in Nature Climate Change.Productivity has actuallyslumpedby 21%since 1961,compared to if the world hadnt been affected by globalheating.With the global population set to rise to more than 9 billion by 205,the UNS Food and AgricultureOrganization has estimated that food production will have to increase by about 70%,with annual crop productionincreasing by almost 1 billion tons and meat production by more than200mtons a year by this point.Meanwhile,global temperatures are rising at a rate that scientists warn is extremely dangerous for human civilization.“The impact already is larger than I thought it would be,”said Ariel Ortiz-Bobea,an economistatCornellUniversitywho led the research.“It was a big surprise to me.The worry I have is that research anddevelopment in agriculture takes decades to translate into higher productivity.The projected temperatureincrease is so fast that I dont know if we are going to keep pace with that.”Weston Anderson,a researcher of food security(安全)and climate at Columbia University who didnt takepart in the study,said the new research provides fresh insight into the importance of the impact upon agriculture.“Theregionsthatthispaperhighlightsasexperiencingthelargest reductionsinagriculturalproductivity-CentralAmericaand theSahel-contain some of the least food secure countries in the world,which is areal concern,”he said.12.What does the underlined word“slumped”in paragraph 2 mean?A.Fallen.B.Gathered.C.Approached.D.Benefited.13.What is Ariel Ortiz-Bobea worried about?A.Fertilizer is used in food production.B.Population will rise to over 9 billion.C.Global temperatures are rising too fast.D.Agricultural research needs many years.14.What can we learn about Weston Anderson?A.He puts forward a different solution.B.He proposes carrying on with the research.C.He pays more attention to food insecure regions.D.He supports improving agricultural productivity.15.What is the best title for the text?A.The Impact of Growth in Farm ProductivityB.Productivity in Agriculture is GrowingC.Causes and Effects of Global HeatingD.Rapid Global Heating is Hurting Farm
