3、erous to astronauts. If the tiniest piece of junk crashed into a spaceship, it could damage the vehicle.To make things worse, when two objects in space crash, they break into many smaller pieces.

21、 researches have shown that people who have enough sleep look more attractive (有魅力的) to others.A few bad nights is enough to make a person look especially more ugly, their sleep experiments show.The researchers asked 25 university students to join in their sleep experiment. They were asked to get a
22、good nights sleep for two nights.A week later, they were asked to sleep for only four hours every night for two nights in a row.The researchers took make-up free (素颜) photos of the volunteers after both the good and the bad sleep.Next, they asked 122 strangers to have a look at the photos and judge
23、(评价) them on attractiveness, health, and sleepiness, as well as asking them: How much would you like to make friends with this person in the picture?The strangers were good at judging if the person they were looking at was tired, and, if they were sleepy, their attractiveness score was low.The stran
24、gers also said they wouldnt want to socialize with the tired students. The researchers say this is natural for people. An unhealthy-looking face makes people run away. In other words, people dont want to hang around with people who might be ill.Dr. Brewer, an expert at the University of Liverpool sa
25、id Judgement of attractiveness is often unconscious (无意识的), hut we all do it, and we are able to judge on even something small like whether someone looks tired or unhealthy.

Having t
29、aught in the US for 17 years, I was sure of my ability to hold their attention and I was confident that they would admire(钦佩) my ability to teach them literature well in English.I was shocked when the monitor shouted, “stand up!” The whole class rose as I entered the room and I was somewhat unclear
30、about how to get them to sit down again, but once the embarrassment(尴尬) was over, I quickly gained my calmness and admiration again. I went back, to my office with the rosy glow which came from a strong sense of achievement(成就).My students kept diaries. However, as I read them, the rosy glow was slo
31、wly replaced(取代) by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didnt teach us anything today perhaps her next lecture(讲座) will be better.” Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each saying something about a similar theme. “Didnt I teach them anything? I described
32、 the whole Western philosophy(哲学) and laid the historical background for all the works we will study in class,” I complained. “How should they say I didnt teach them anything?”It was a long term, and it slowly became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as those of my students. I th
33、ought a teachers job was to raise interesting questions and provide enough background so that students could draw their own conclusions. My students thought a teachers job was to provide exact information as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference!However, I also learned a lot; and the e

They look at the places where we l
37、ive and work, and how we travel. But they dont understand cars. They see that every morning millions of people get into big boxes. These boxes take people many kilometers to their workplaces. But often, the big boxes cant move because there are so many of them. Then, in the evening, the people get i
38、nto their boxes and slowly drive home again.The aliens think this really strange. Why dont people travel in the faster boxes they call trains or buses? Or live near their workplaces? Do they like to sit in boxes for hours? Or arent they very smart?The aliens are right. Why dont we live near our work
39、place? Its often because houses are too expensive in the city. People who lived in the city before have to live outside it now. But many jobs are in the city center.

48、English come from novels. Today we will look at some of them from Lewis Carrolls famous novel “Alice in Wonderland” in detail.The story is about a young girl falling down a rabbit hole. When she finally lands, she finds herself in a strange world and meets some strange characters.The first character
49、 Alice meets is the White Rabbit, who runs past her and says some strange words. Alice chases (追赶)him, and that is where her adventures begin. In English, chasing a white rabbit means chasing an impossible clue and finding yourself in a misleading situation.Then, as she runs after the rabbit,she fal
50、ls down the rabbit hole into Wonderland. To fall down the rabbit hole can mean to enter a confusing(令人困惑的)situation. However, usually we use this expression to mean we get interested in something to the point of distraction(分神). It often happens by accident and is about something not that meaningful
51、.Later in the story, Alice meets the March Hare and the Hatter at a crazy tea party. Hares(野兔)have long been thought to behave excitedly in March, which is mating(交配)season. Scientifically, this may not be true. But to be mad as a March Hare means that someone is completely mad, or crazy. The expres
52、sion mad as a Hatter also means to be completely crazy. Of the two, mad as a Hatter is more common. But dont tell the March Hare. Who knows how he will react(反应)! Near the end of the story, Alice meets the Queen of Hearts. A woman called a Queen of Hearts likes controlling others and always tries to
53、 control everything and everyone around her.35Which of the following situations best fits expressions to fall down a rabbit hole?AWhen Tom was taking a walk in the forest, be suddenly fell over onto the ground.BWhen Mary turned on the TV, she chose to watch the talk show as usual.CWhen Jim was looki
54、ng for a sport book on line, he lost himself in many reports on superstars.DWhen Lily was thinking about how to solve a math problem, she came up with a good idea.36According to the passage, the expression to be mad as a March Hare _.Adescribes how hares behave in MarchBshows hares characteristics i
55、n a scientific wayCis used more often than the expression mad as a Hatter.Dhas the same meaning as the expression mad as a Hatter37Who wants others to obey his/her orders in every situation in “Alice in Wonderland”?AAliceBThe March HareCThe HatterDThe Queen of Hearts.38The writer mainly wants to _ i
56、n the passage.Aintroduce a famous novel and its language styleBintroduce a famous writer Lewis Carroll and his novelsCexplore some English expressions from a famous novelDexplain why many expressions in English come from novels09Today almost everyone knows computers and the Internet. If I ask you “W
57、hat is the most important in your life?” Maybe you will say “Computers and the Internet.”The first computer was made in 1946. it was very big but it worked slowly. Today computers are getting smaller and smaller. But they work faster and faster. What can computers do? A writer has said,” People cant
58、 live without computers today”The Internet came a little later than computers. It is about twenty-five years later than computers. But now it can be found almost everywhere. We can use it to read books, write letters, do shopping, play computer games or make friends.Many students like the Internet v
59、ery much. They often go into the Internet as soon as they are free. They make friends on the Internet and maybe they have never seen these friends. They dont know their real names, ages, and even sex. They are so interested in making the “unreal friends” that they cant put their hearts into study. M
60、any of them cant catch up with others on many subjects because of that.We can use computers and the Internet to learn more about the world. But at the same time, we should remember that not all the things can be done by computers and the Internet.39When the computer was invented, it was _.Alarge and

66、lish classroom11On Jan 26, people around the world were shocked to hear of the sudden passing of Kobe Bryant, one of the NBAs most legendary(传奇的) players. The 41-year-old, his 13-year-old daughter Gianna Bryant and seven others died when their helicopter crashed in California, US.People from all wal
67、ks of life have respected the late basketball superstar not just for his achievements on the court, but for his genuine personality and the inspiration he provided to so many people.In the basketball world, Bryant ranks among the top players of all time. Fans remember him as the player who helped th
68、e Los Angeles Lakers win five NBA championships during his 20-year-long career. He started out as a basketball prodigy(神意) who skipped college and took his talents directly to the NBA: His deadly agility (敏捷) and aggressive tactics(进攻性的策略) earned him the nickname Black Mamba. Thats why his competiti
69、ve philosophy(哲学) is known as the “Mamba Mentality”.“Mamba Mentality is youre going, youre competing, youre not worried about the end result,” Bryant said. “Its all about focusing on the process and trusting in the hard work when it matters most.”Off the court, he was known as a successful businessm
70、an, buying sakes(股份) in several companies, including Alibaba and Dell. He also left footprints in the movie industry, winning an Oscar in 2018 with his short film Dear Basketball.He was also known as a proud family man. His friend, baseball star Derek Jeter, remembered him as such in an essay: “Thro
71、ughout our friendship, the most meaningful conversations we had they were always about family.”As the Los Angeles Times noted, Bryants greatness was cemented(强化) by his skill, hard work and tireless pursuit of victory. His legacy(留给后人的东西) will live on long after his death.48What do we know about the

74、so many people felt sad about Bryants death.12When you are about to do something brave, a cheerful wish of “Good luck!” from a friend can be helpful. But if you think you need lots of luck, what else might you do?In the UK and the US, there are some strange traditions for bringing yourself a little
75、more good luck. Some are hundreds of years old and some are much newer.Have you heard the saying “When you wish upon a star”? If you are looking up at the sky on a clear night and you see a sudden flash of light, it is probably a shooting star! Seeing one doesnt happen very often. The saying goes th
76、at if you see one, you have been very lucky, and so if you make a wish, it will come true.Maybe you have heard of the lucky rabbits foot. Some people believe that rabbits are lucky animals, so they carry a special part of the rabbit, its foot, for good luck. There are all kinds of strange, unclear r
77、ules about which of the rabbits feet is the luckiest. It is said that this good luck tradition is the oldest one of all. However, as the funny saying goes, “Depend on the rabbits foot if you will, but remember it didnt work for the rabbit!”People in Britain love trees. If it is autumn and leaves are

Or put something strange into their schoolbags? These are not surprising compared with the joke played by a
87、group of six-grade students from Berwick High School. These naughty students were trying to sell their school building, furniture and “full use of all staff members”. They said that the list also included their headmaster, who might “kill” them if he found out what they were doing. They put the full
88、 package on e-Bay for a price of 2,018. e-Bay was founded in September 1995. At that time, Omidyars girlfriend loved Pez candy boxes, but she was sad that she couldnt find someone who had the same interest as her. So Omidyar set up a caution site to help his girlfriend communicate with Pez candy box
89、 lovers in the United States. People can sell things online on e-Bay. The students also warned that they wouldnt accept the money they got. After the information was put on e-Bay, there were fourteen people wanting to buy the product. One person even offered 5,000 for the school. The e-Bay listing w
90、as soon removed. However, the school didnt punish the students. Why? In fact, this was a joke played on the school “Muck-Up Day”. At school, it is a long tradition to play funny jokes on their last day of school before entering their exam time.60The phrase “full use of all staff members” in paragrap

So much changed when my new stepsister Jen and stepmother came to live with usSomeone knocked on my door and asked, “Do you want to take Jen skating? It was D
99、ad. “I guess.” I answered, thinking about how Dad and I usually spent Thanksgiving Daybuilding a large snowman. When I opened the door, Dad hugged me. “Well make that snowman later,” he promised. But I wasnt sure wed have time. “Did you go skating a lot last year?” I asked Jen when we walked on the
100、snow. Jen shook her head, “I lived in the south and there isnt much snow. On Thanksgiving, Mom and I always went to visit some friends on a farm. I loved seeing their big turkeys.” I could tell she was sad. I never thought about how Jen would feel until then. She not only had a new stepfather and st
101、epbrother; she had a new town and home, too. For a long time after she moved in, we both sat in a room but never talked with each other. Suddenly, I didnt feel that sorry for myself. I wanted to do something special and Jen liked my idea.We made a big snowball first. I made another smaller one and J
