They know how big it is and how far away. But they want to know more about it.So do Chinese scientists. They are trying their best to study the space. With their hard working, China don’t fall behind the other country in the field. In 2003, Shenzhou Ⅴ spaceship with one astronaut, Yang Liwei, was sent up into the space.This made China well—known in the world. Last year, Shenzhou Ⅵ spaceflight was sent up again, there were two astronauts in it. They are Fei Junlong and Nie Haisheng. Fei, 40, is from Kunshan, East China’s Jiangsu Pro vince. He was once selected(选择) as one of the five astronauts candidates (候选人) for Chinese first manned spaceflight Shenzhou Ⅴ. Nie, 41, is from Zaoyang, Central Chinese Hubei Province. He was once selected as one of the three finalist for Shenzhou Ⅴ. The other two were Yang Liwei and Zhai Zhigang.26. How many Chinese astronauts have been sent up into the space so far?A. OneB. TwoC.

Fei Junlong and Nie HaishengThere are about fifteen hundred languages in the world. But only a few of them are very important. English is one of these. Many people use it, not only in England, the USA, but also in other parts of the world. About 200,,000,000 people speak it as their own language. It’s difficult to say how many people are learning it as a foreign language. Many millions of people are trying to do so. Is it easy or difficult to learn English? Different people may have different answers. Have you ever noticed ads of this kind in the newspapers or magazines? “ Learn English in six weeks, or give your money back …”, “ Easy and funny…” , “ Our record and tapes help you master English in a month…”, of course, it never happened quite like this.The only language that seems easy to learn is the mother tongue. We should remember that we all learn our own language well when we were children. If we could learn English in the same way, it would seem so difficult. Think of what a small child does. He listens to what people say. He tries what he hears.So it is hard to say that learning English is easy. We must do a lot of practice. And practice needs great effort and take much time. Good teachers, records, tapes,books, and dictionaries will be he lpful, but they can’t do the student’s work for him.31. How many languages are very important in the world?A. A fewB. FewC. About 1,500D. Many32. If we want to learn English well, what shall we do?A. We should study it without any helpB. We must do a lot of practiceC. We need to get much money back.D. We must live in England or America.33. How does the writer like the ads in the newspapers or magazines?A. He thinks the ads are very expensiveB. He thinks the ads are trueC. It never happened quite like what the ads saidD. He believes “ Learn English in six weeks, or give your money back”34. Which language is easy to learn?A. EnglishB. ChineseC. JapaneseD. The mother language35. Which countries use English as mother tongue?A. China and France.B. Japan and ItalyC. England and AmericaD. Germany and IraqCMany young people want to be pop stars.

However, using cell phones too often may cause cancer. It’s reported that people who used a cell phone for 10 years or more were more likely to get brain cancer. The suggestions below may help you reduce the risk (风险) of cancer: ♦ When using your cell phone, try to keep it away from your body as much as possible. Don’t put it under your pillow (枕头) or on a bedside table when you go to sleep. ♦ When you’re on the cell phone, use the speaker. In this way, you have just 1/100th of the contact (接触) with radiation you have when you hold it to your ear. An earphone is also a good idea. ♦ Try to keep your conversations short. If you need to talk longer, use an ordinary phone instead. ♦ Change ears when you’re using your cell phone. Before putting it to your ear, wait until the person you are calling picks up the phone. ♦ Your phone gives out radiation when you talk or text (发短信), but not when you’re listening or getting messages. Listening m ore and talking less can lower the risk of cancer. ♦ Do not use your cell phone when the signal (信号) is weak or when you’re moving at a high speed, for example in a car or train. At high speeds your phone is trying to pick up signals, and this increases the radiation it gives out. 根据短文内容，填写下列表格。

But in fact, an unknown person wrote it.Inventions can change our lives. But have all these things really improved our lives? Imagine this. You’re doing your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings and the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer is turned off and you lose all your work. How do you feel? Inventions have speeded up our lives, but they often leave us feeling tired.One family in England went “back in time” to see what life was like without these inventions. The grandparents, with their daughter and grandsons Ben 10 and Tom 7, spent nine weeks in an old house. They had no computers or mobile phones. The grandmother, Linda, said, “The more things you have, the harder life becomes.” And Ben also noticed that his grandmother had changed. She cooked delicious food for them!根据短文内容，选择正确答案。

If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grey and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined. You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference, and the influence that colours have on human beings. They tell us that we don’t choose our fav ourite colours as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more fortable than a dark green one, and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines and painted orange rather than black or dark grey.Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colourful things. Remember also that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colours they like and dislike. And don’t forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief.1. According to this passage, _______A. One is born with his colour preferenceB. One can choose his colour preferenceC. One’s colour preference is changeableD. One has to choose his favorite colour as soon as he can see clearly2. We would pay attention to colours because ______A. Colours do have influence on our state of mind.B. Colours may have influence on factories.C. Light and bright colours make people happy.D. You can know your friends better by the colours they like or dislike.3. The main idea of this passage is _______.A. one’s colour preference shows one’s characterB. you can brighten your life with wonderful coloursC. psychologists have been studying the meaning of colour preferenceD. one’s colour preference has something to do with his character and colours have influence on human beings.4. Psychologists believe that _________.A. people’s favourite colours change as they grow upB. people are nearly born to love some coloursC. people choose their favourite colours when they grow upD. people can easily get what the others think of5. “I am feeling black” means ________.A.
