European researchers say they have created a process that can produce oxygen from moon dust. The process could provide a major source of oxygen for humans taking part in moon exploration activities in the future. Researchers from the European Space Agency（ESA）carried out the experiments and reported their results in a study.
The team says ESA’s experimental “plant” was able to successfully produce oxygen from simulated moon dust. The dust is part of a material known as regolith, which holds about 45 percent oxygen. However, the oxygen’s form is very strange, so it is hard to produce.
ESA’s long -term goal is to design an oxygen -producing “pilot plant” to work fulltime on the moon. Beth Lomax of the University of Glasgow was a lead researcher on the project. “Being able to get oxygen from resources found on the moon would certainly be hugely useful for future lunar settlers,” she said.
The researchers reported that the process also produced some usable metal materials. ESA researcher Alexandre said the finding that a number of metals are left behind was an important discovery.
ESA and the U. S. space agency NASA are both working on plans to return human beings to the moon. NASA has set a goal for 2024, with the aim to keep humans on the moon for long periods.

I always think my daughter Kendall is the best—that’s just what parents do. When she was only three, she sang for the people, like a little angel.
When Kendall was five, we noticed that she sometimes had a tic. When the problem got worse, we took her from doctor to doctor. During the treatment, Kendall continued to sing. Surprisingly, her tics disappeared when she sang.
When Kendall was sixteen, we thought she would be cured soon. However, a terrible thing happened. “At a party, Kendall jumped on a friend for a piggyback ride. He bent lower than she expected, and she jumped higher than he expected. Kendall flew over his back and landed on the floor—on her neck. She was rushed to hospital, paralyzed from the neck down. She couldn’t move. But her biggest worry wasn’t whether she would walk again, but was whether she could try out for a show called American Idol.
As the days went on, feeling on her left side returned, but she was still paralyzed on the right. We weren’t sure how much of her movement would come back. A friend brought a microphone and put it on her bed. Every day, Kendall tried hard to pick it up. It was more important for her to pick up that microphone than a spoon or fork.
Sometimes she had to bite a toothbrush to take her mind off the pain. We all cried because of the pain we witnessed. But on the day, only three months after her accident, we cried full of joy when she sang, though she didn’t enter the Top 24 of American Idol.
When she was a little girl, she asked me why it was she that had tics. My heart hurt, but I told her, “Kendall, you have a pure heart, a fantastic voice, a strong mind. And you are a beautiful presence”. Word Bank 试卷第2页，共18页

Frank and his brother Jack lived near the ocean. Frank was outgoing while Jack was shy. They liked doing different things. Frank was famous for organizing games of beach volleyball, football, and any other sport imaginable. Jack preferred to draw, paint, or build sandcastles (沙堡).
Frank didn’t understand why Jack would rather do those things than play ball. He believed sports often allowed many kids to play together. That was when Jack’s idea hatched. He would show Frank what doing things together looked like!

After Frank came back from his ball game, he went to check how his brother’s plan turned out. He couldn’t believe what he saw. At least 30 people were building a city of sandcastles, and everyone was chatting and laughing and working together! It was the most beautiful thing he had seen on the beach.

We often hear about people climbing mountains like Mount Everest in Asia, the highest mountain in the world; Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa; Mont Blanc in Europe. What about Mount Denali in America?
Denali in Denali National Park in Alaska is the highest top in the United States. If you measure it from the base to the top, it’s much higher than Mount Everest in fact. The base of Denali is at 2000 feet above sea level. It is 18000 feet from the base to the top of Denali.
Denali is one of the most difficult mountains in the Western for mountain climbers. Denali is closer to the North Pole than other tall mountains. This means that the air is thinner, so it’s harder for climbers.
The first group of climbers got to the top of Denali in 1909. Two other groups were successful after that. The next group got to the top in 1947. This group had a husband and a wife team, Bradford and Barbara Washburn. Barbara was the first woman to successfully climb the mountain. The Washburns were not climbing for sport; they were explorers. In the field of mountain mapping, Bradford Washburn was one of the best. The Washburns mapped many mountains and the Grand Canyon. Bradford dreamed of mapping Mount Everest project. Later they produced the best map ever made of Mount Everest. 25．Mount Denali is in_________. A．Asia
B．Africa

One day, I heard an American boy said to a Chinese girl student, “You speak very good English.” But the girl answered, “No, no. My English is very poor.” The foreigner was quite surprised at the answer. Thinking he had not made himself understood or the girl had not heard him clearly, he said. “Yes, indeed, you speak very well.” But the girl still kept saying “No.” In the end, the American boy could not understand and didn’t know what to say.
What’s wrong with the girl’s answer? She didn’t accept a compliment in the same way as the
试卷第8页，共18页
B．High Mountains D．Dangerous trips
American people do. She should answer, “Thank you” instead of “No”. She really understood what the American boy had said, but she thought she should be modest. In the west, people will feel proud and confident when they are praised. So if someone says the dishes you have cooked are very delicious, you should say, “Thank you.”
In our country, we think being modest is a virtue and being proud is a bad thing, but in my opinion, being confident does not mean being proud, so sometimes you should be confident instead of being modest.
If you are modest and say “No, I’m afraid I can’t do it well” when working in a western country, the others may think that you really cannot do it. If you often say “No”, you will certainly be looked down upon by others. When asking for a job, if one says something like “Yes, I can certainly do it” instead of “let me have a try”, he or she will expect to get it. So in the west, you should be brave to show your self-confidence.
29．Why did the Chinese girl say “No” when she was praised? A．Because she thought she should be proud. B．Because she thought she should be confident. C．Because she thought she should be modest. D．Because she thought she is a student.
30．If you say “I can do it well” when asking for a job in the west, the others may think that ________. A．you can do it well C．you like doing it
B．you can’t do it well D．you don’t like doing it
31．What does the underlined part “looked down upon” mean in Chinese? A．瞧不起
B．瞧得起
C．表扬
D．批评
32．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The girl didn’t hear the boy clearly.
B．The American boy understood the girl’s answer. C．In China, people think being modest is a virtue. D．The writer thinks being modest means being proud. 33．What does the writer want to tell us? A．We should be proud and impolite in the west. B．We should be modest and confident in the west. C．We should be modest and brave in the west. D．We should be brave and confident in the west.

Aren’t mobile phone, e-mail and voice mail supposed to help us communicate more easily? Sadly, that’s not always the case. Take the other day for example: when I was walking through the park with my friend, suddenly his mobile phone rang and he answered it—leaving me alone and cutting our conversation dead! In fact, the park was filled with people talking on their mobile phones. They were passing other people without even looking at them, or stopping to walk their dogs. Clearly, people can use mobile phones everywhere, but they ignore the people around.
Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? New communication technology seems to keep away from each other. With e-mail over the Internet, we can communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With WeChat or QQ, you can have conversations without even meeting that person. Even some food stores are using self-scanners so that you can check yourself out. As the contact between human beings becomes automated, my feeling of being disconnected gets stronger. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not against machines. I also own a mobile phone, a QQ, a WeChat and an e-mail account. Giving them up isn’t a good idea, as they are useful to have around. It’s just that when they keep us away from human contact, I begin to feel sad. Moreover, I find myself answering e-mail instead of talking to people. The technology that was made to help keep us in contact with each other is, in fact, making me feel more lonely.
What is to be done? Well, try to use less technology: no e-mailing people who live nearby, and no letting QQ and WeChat catch you all the time.
39．The purpose of the example in Paragraph 1 is to show that ________. A．mobile phones bring a lot of convenience to people B．mobile phones result in ignoring the others around C．people communicate more easily with mobile phones D．people are good at using mobile phones in their daily life
40．The underlined word “disconnected” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”. A．lonely
B．satisfied
C．stupid
D．interested
41．It can be inferred from Passage 2 that ________.

My mother is a teacher, and I grew up with the challenges a teacher faces. I often asked her, “Why do you teach? What keeps you teaching?” The answer was always the same. “There is always that one child, that one moment that is worth.
Now, I am a teacher, too. But different from my mother, I teach students challenging activities outdoors. And when my mother asked me the similar questions, my answer was “it’s that one child, that one special moment.”
One of those moments happened recently. I was working with a group of girls in a four-week programme. Everything went on well through the “Team” events and we were moving on to a “High” one called the Wire(钢索)walk.
In the Wire Walk, each girl had to climb up the pegs(木桩)in a tree to a wire, 8 meters high, and then walk across it. Of course, everything was safe for sure.
When I asked who would try, a few girls raised their hands, and they finished the Wire Walk with little difficulty.
But when it was Susie’s turn, it seemed that she didn’t really want to. I asked Susie if she was ready. She answered softly, “I suppose.”
Now, Susie was at the foot of the tree. She started to make the long reach for the first peg. The other girls cheered for her. Then I found Susie was becoming nervous with every step. I realized she would not go much further.
Susie was halfway up. Then she stopped and held the tree tight, looking very afraid. Her eyes were closed. With her face against the tree, she cried, “I can’t.”
The other girls sat in silence. I talked quietly to Susie, trying to relax her. I talked for a long time till I ran out of words.
“I will still be your friend no matter what, Susie!” Mary broke the silence.
To my surprise, Susie lifted her head and looked up to the wire. Then she turned to look down at Mary and smiled. Mary smiled back.

When Sally was a child, she went to the city park with her mom on a sunny morning. She felt very unhappy. Her mom saw that and asked why. Sally told her mother that she felt so sorry to see so much rubbish on the ground.
Her mom looked around. There were pieces of paper, boxes, glass bottles and a lot of other rubbish everywhere. “What can we do?” asked Sally sadly. “I’m sure you will think of something,” said her mom.
As soon as Sally got home with her mom, she painted a picture of the park and wrote a sign in large black letters at the top of the picture. The sign said, “PLEASE KEEP OUR PARK CLEAN”.

From tiny seeds, great discoveries grow. A mini—garden carried on China’s Chang’e 4 moon lander recently became home to the first plant to grow on another world.
This is yet another success for Chang’e 4. On January 3, the probe became the first lander to touch down on the far side of the moon. This is the unknown face of the moon that is always looking away from us, so we never see it from down here on the earth. Although it is often regarded as the dark side of the moon, the far side actually gets as much sunshine as the near side. For example, when all we can see is a silver sliver of a new moon, the far side of the moon is in full sunlight.
Part of Chang’e 4’s mission is to see how a moon base could be built for humans, including exploring whether humans could grow food and other plant products there. Chang’e 4 carried a mini—garden with air, water and soil with seeds planted in it. When plants shoot on the earth, their stems grow away from the gravity, and so they always shoot upwards. The moon’s gravity is a sixth as strong as the earth’s, so

Chang’e 4’s experiment was a test: would the earth plants know which way was up on the moon? Four days after landing, a tiny cotton shoot showed that they do.
Night has now fallen on the far side of the moon; Sunlight will not return until the start of February. As a result, the cotton shoots died. Besides the darkness, the plants can’t stand the cold (it can drop to —170℃ on the moon at night). However, the experiment is a success, since it has proved that it is possible for plants to grow in space.
56．The text is mainly about ________. A．another success for Chang’e 4 C．tiny seeds in the soil
B．Chang’e 4 moon lander D．the steps of an experiment
57．Which of the following is TRUE about Chang’e 4? A．It landed on the near side of the moon. C．It found plants on the moon.
58．From the text we can know that ________ A．the far side of the moon gets less sunlight B．we can see the far side of the moon from the earth C．the stems fail to grow away from the earth’s gravity D．the earth plants know the way to grow on the moon 59．What can we infer from the text? A．Plants can be grown on the moon soon.
B．It is perfect to do experiments on the moon.
D．We can see a new moon at the start of February. B．It carried a mini—garden. D．It explored the moon base.

It’s 2010, outside of a school somewhere in the U.S. Some teenagers are talking. One says to another. “I’m tired of chillaxin after school. We do this 24/7. Let’s go get some eats.”
Two adults are walking by. They hear what the teenagers are saying, but they don’t understand a word. What the teenager said was, “I’m tired of hanging around after school. We do this all the time. Let’s go and get some food.”

But, of course, the words you use depend on your interests, your friends, the music you listen to and the part of the country you live in. Different groups of teenagers have different likes and dislikes, and so they also have different expressions.
________ Many people think it’s because they don’t want adults to understand, but that probably isn’t true. The real reason is that teenagers want to feel that they’re part of a group that speaks the same language, a language that is different from the one their parents and other adults speak. And also teenagers like to be creative and play with language, so they have fun creating new words.
And what do the parents think about it all? Most of them don’t worry about it. After all, they had their own special words when they were teenagers, too. But some adults complain about “teen talk” and get very annoyed by it. But that’s all part of the fun for the teenagers! 63．The two adults can’t understand teenagers because ________. A．they are from different countries C．they can’t hear the words clearly
