Mom then casually said, “Jerry, if you filled your thermos with hot water and let it sit a while, your coffee would stay hot for longer then.” With her simple suggestion, his face showed that he was shocked by his own lack of common sense, well, of course it would! He poured out the small amount of coffee already in the thermos and refilled it with boiling hot water. Then he poured the water and refilled it with hot coffee. Mom smiled as Jerry did so.Words of wisdom from a loving mother-in-law made an impact that will never be forgotten. She never dreamed her words would be a treasured and everlasting memory in the heart of her son-in-law.The lasting memories dont necessarily come from major moments in life. Memories are often made during those small, ordinary moments. Life is about small moments we share with friends and loved ones!4Which word best describes the authors feeling in Paragraph 3 ?AConfused.BConcerned.CTouched.DInterested.5The advice the mother gave Jerry was to .Afill the thermos with a little coffee first.Bwarm the thermos up before filling it with coffee.Cfill thermos with coffee before with warm water.Dthink of her whenever filling the thermos with coffee.6The underlined part “dont necessarily” is similar in meaning to .Apossibly but uncertainly.Bwithout any doubt.Ccertainly and absolutely.Dout of the question.7The message that the story intends to convey is .Athat lasting memories come from small things.Bhow valuable a mothers advice is to her children.Cwhat a wise woman the mother is to her son-in-law.Dwhy we should respect our parents and listen to them.C（新闻报道）The Mars 2022 rover(02W), which sets off for the Red Planet this year, will not only search for traces of ancient life, but pave the way for future human missions, NASA scientists said Friday as they introduced the vehicle.The rover has been constructed in a large, sterile room at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, near Los Angeles, where its driving equipment was given its first successful test last week.Shown to invited journalists on Friday, it is scheduled to leave Earth in July 2020 from Floridas Cape Canaveral, becoming the fifth US rover to land on Mars seven months later in February.“It's designed to seek the signs of life, so were carrying a number of different instruments that will help us understand the geological and chemical context on the surface of Mars,” deputy mission leader Matt Wallace told AFP.Among the devices on board the rover are 23 cameras, two “ears” that will allow it to listen to Martian winds, and lasers used for chemical analysis.Approximately the size of a car, the rover is equipped with six wheels like the former US rover, Curiosity, allowing it to travel along rocky land.Speed is not a priority for the vehicle, which only has to cover around 200 yards(180 metres) per Martian day -approximately the same as a day on Earth.Fuelled by a tiny nuclear reactor, Mars 202(has seven-foot-long(2 metres) articulated arms and a drill to crack open rock samples in locations scientists identify as potentially suitable for life.We are hoping to move fairly quickly. We'd like to see the next mission launched in 2026 which will get to Mars and pick up the samples, put them into a rocket and finally bring them back to the Earth, "said Wallace. NASAs Mars 2022 will remain active for at least one Martian year, which is around two years on Earth.8What does the underlined part “pave the way” in Paragraph 1 mean?AMaking preparationsBFinding suitable landing sitesCSetting up research centers.DConstructing roads.9What can we know about the Mars 2022 rover?AIt looks much like a car with six wheels.BIt is an updated of the US rover Curiosity.CIt is solar-powered and can crack open rock samples.DIt is able to perform different tasks on Mars in search of the signs of life10If you search the passage on the website of China Daily, where can you probably find it?ALifestyleBRegionalCWorldDCulture11What is the main idea of the passage?AThe Mars 2022 rover has successfully passed its first driving test.BNASA is planning a new round of space explorationCFuture human missions on Mars are on the wayDA new rover will be launched to carry out scientific research on MarsD（说明文、研究报告）The African penguin is expected to go extinct in the wild in just over a decade, given its current population decline. The main reason is a lack of food caused by disturbance to ocean conditions from global heating and competition from the commercial fishing industry. According to a study, scientists have identified a possible additional cause, one that is an entirely new threat and that further prevents the penguins from finding food: noise pollution from marine (海洋的) ships in a bay.Since 2016, a new shipping practice has started at Algoa Bay. The bay offers ship-to-ship refueling for ships anchored offshore. Since the start of this practice, marine traffic in the bay has doubled. The number of bulk carriers (散货船) pulling into the bay has increased by ten times as much. Thus the noise levels in the area had doubled and the population of penguins has dropped sharply. High noise levels affect the ability of marine animals to find food, communicate or navigate properly.Researchers used data from ship identification tools to estimate underwater noise from passing ships. They also attached underwater microphones and accelerometers (感应器) to some of the penguins. Recording the noise will tell researchers what the penguins are hearing, if theyre talking while hunting, if theyre changing their movements in response to noise, and if the noise is drowning out their hunting conversations. This will allow researchers to determine whether the sound disturbance is a direct cause of the penguins ongoing difficulties in finding sufficient food.The study is the first to explore he effects of ocean traffic noise pollution on seabirds and the consequences of offshore shipping activities on underwater noise levels. Experts are considering proposing various global best-practice approaches to reduce some of the impacts of noise pollution, such as policies that limit the number and size of ships allowed into a bay of this kind. “We also need more scientific monitoring of noise, before these measures are put in place and afterward, so that we have a proper understanding of what works.” a researcher said.；12What is caused by the noise pollution?AThe penguins lack of food.BThe penguins proper navigation.CPeoples communication disability.DThe commercial competition.；13Why did scientists attach microphones to penguins?ABecause they wanted to study the way of relieving marine traffic pressure.BBecause they could determine and analyze the source of ocean noise pollutionCBecause it helped to calculate underwater noise levels caused by different ships.DBecause the impact of ocean on penguins hunting behavior could be found.；14How can the noise pollution be reduced?ABy exploring the real effects of ocean traffic.BBy restricting the ships to go into the bay.CBy banning all the offshore shipping activities.DBy increasing ship-to-ship refueling activities.；15What will researchers probably do next?AEvaluate the risk of the noise.BEstablish a monitoring system.CPut the measures in place.DTry to understand what happens.参考答案DAC CBAA ADCD ADBB第 4 页，共 4 页学科网（北京）股份有限公司
