His notebooks were filled with mechanical (机械的) drawings.④Science—Da Vinci was always interested in the human body.

I am a flight engineer on the International ce Station (ISS) (国际空间站). Today, I will tell you something about what life is like on the ISS.The ISS has over 425 cubic meters (立方) of living ce. I work here with astronauts from the United States, Russia, Japan, Canada and some other countries.When we are on the ISS, we have to follow an everyday schedule.It tells us when to get up, eat, exercise, work, relax and go to sleep. We spend about two hours each day exercising. Without enough exercise, we would lose an amount of muscle (肌肉) because of the microgravity (微重力) environment in ce.When we are on the ISS, we eat food that is specially made. We eat some foods, such as cakes, in ce in the same way as we do on the Earth. But some other foods are real challenges (挑战). For example, when we’re in ce, we can’t shake salt onto food, because the salt would float away. As a result, we have to use special salt.When we are not busy working on the ISS, we can relax and have fun in different ways. We also love to listen to music, read books, play cards, watch movies and talk with our family members.As you can see, the microgravity environment in ce brings many challenges that you don’t face on the Earth. Would you like to live for some time on the ISS?；23．What is the passage mainly about?A．What the ISS is like in ce.B．What life is like on the ISS.C．How astronauts eat on the ISS.D．How astronauts exercise in ce.；24．What does the underlined word “schedule” in para3 mean?A．Example.B．Plan.C．Habit.D．Activity.；25．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．Jessica works as a flight engineer on the Earth.B．It takes Jessica two hours to exercise for fun on the ISS every day.C．Jessica is busy working without any free-time activities on the ISS.D．The way Jessica eats in ce is not always the same as that on the earth.；26．What will be the biggest challenge if you stay on the ISS according to the passage?A．Living in such a small living ce.B．Keeping away from family members. C．Fighting with microgravity environment.D．Working with astronauts from other countries.“Fine, I’ll just do it all myself!” I thought when I stamped (跺脚) away.My friends and I were trying to make the best cardboard (纸板) town to play in. We were turning cardboard boxes into stores and playgrounds and all kinds of fun things! We weren’t working together well, though. I could hear them talking when I was walking away.“Wow, I didn’t think Johnny would get so angry,” Katie said. “We are just trying another way. ”“This should be fun,” said Max. “Johnny can’t do it all by himself. Maybe if we give him some ce, he’ll want us to help again. ”Yeah, right. Because it was my idea, I would just do it without them. The only problem was that I wanted to finish it before Thanksgiving. I wanted to show it to all of my family when they came over.Thanksgiving was two weeks away. I thought that the job was too big. I still needed to make the buildings with boxes, put them around the town, and decorate (装饰) them. I couldn’t finish everything by myself. I guess that’s why people work together. When we each had a job, this was fun and went a lot faster. Maybe I should say sorry to Katie and Max. They were just trying to help and have fun with me.The next day at school, I said sorry to Katie and Max.“I don’t know why I got so angry. Building a town should be fun. Will you come back to my house today to finish our town?” I asked.“Sure, Johnny,” they said.We all took on a role and finished the town quickly.

To save money, some people are choosing not to buy new things, but to repair (修理) their old ones. By repairing broken things on their own, people can both feel good and help the environment. Thankfully, there are millions of videos on the Internet teaching people how to repair all kinds of things, making it much easier to learn how to repair things than it was in the past.Still, it’s important to know the ______▲_______ when it comes to repairs. Some things, like broken chair legs, are very easy to repair. However, other things like computers or TV sets are much harder, because they may need to change lots of small parts. Also, people may get hurt if they aren’t careful.A great way to get things repaired is to get a little help from others. One of such organizations is Repair Café. In Repair Café, anyone can bring their broken things or clothes. People with repairing experience are always there, ready to help make repairs. What’s more, these cafes usually have lots of tools (工具) available, so you don’t need to buy or borrow them.The idea for Repair Cafe came from a reporter Martine Postma. She noticed that people in her home country threw away many things that could easily be repaired. She wanted to do something to solve the problem and protect (保护) the planet as well. Postma opened the first Repair Cafe in Amsterdam in 2009. It was well received, so she started a program in 2011 to help more groups run their own Repair Cafe. Now people can find Repair Cafes around the world. 19．Why do some people choose to repair old thingsA．To take up a hobby. B．To have fun.C．To learn a new culture. D．To save money.20．Which of the following can be put in the blank A．Prices. B．Difficulties. C．Reasons. D．Meanings. 21．What’s Postma’s purpose (目的) of setting up Repair Cafe A．To sell more repairing tools.B．To make repairing less expensive.C．To help people make friends.D．To get more people to repair broken things.22．Which could be the best title for the passageA．Repairs Are Getting PopularB．Postma’s Repairing LifeC．Stopping Pollution Is ImportantD．Ways of Repairing ThingsLast year, after I finished school, I foun d I didn’t really have a plan for my future. My mum, a Brazilian (巴西人) living in the UK, had the great idea of sending me over to Brazil to live with her sister for a while. At first, I wasn’t sure, but after two months of sitting around the house doing nothing, I began to think going to Brazil sounded like a good idea!So, I started to prepare. Two weeks later, I was at the airport of Rio de Janeiro.Now, I’ve been here for half a year. My aunt and my cousins make me feel wonderful at home. I also get a job-teaching the children English. I think the best thing about it is learning about another culture. At school I had friends from different parts of the world. I think I had quite a good understanding of some other cultures, but in fact, living in another country means you really get to see how life there can be different or similar to the one you know. I feel like I’ve learned a lot more about the world and also about myself.It’s also great to learn another language. My mum never spoke Portuguese (葡萄牙语) at home. But in Brazil, I hear it spoken every day and I’ve knew many words. I am surprised at how quickly I pick it up. After a few months, I find I understand most of what people say and I’m able to take part in their talk. It’s great to speak a second lan guage and learning it doesn’t seem difficult!My year in Brazil is turning out to be the best year of my life so far. And who knows, I might be here longer, much longer! 23．What can we know from Paragraph 1A．The writer had nothing to do at home.B．The wri ter’s mum is living in Brazil now.C．The writer’s aunt invited him to Brazil.D．The writer wanted to teach English in Brazil.24．What does the writer think of his life in BrazilA．It is quite similar to his life in the UK.B．It is not so good as he thought before.C．It helps him understand the culture better.D．It helps him improve his spoken English.25．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 tells us that the writer ________.A．feels surprised to hear PortugueseB．is quick at learning PortugueseC．finds it hard to speak PortugueseD．picks some books in Portuguese26．What will the writer probably choose to do according to the last paragraphA．Go back to the UK. B．Find a job in the UK.C．Keep living in Brazil. D．Study in a college in Brazil.“I find this hard. Can I talk to you about it please ” “I’ve tried doing it in different ways, but it doesn’t work. Could you help me ” Although learning how to solve a problem by yourself is a way of growing up, it doesn’t mean you have to try it alone (独自) all the time.There are lots of reasons why you could need help. For example, you have a problem with your schoolwork or learning a new skill; you feel sad or angry because you’re finding something difficult; or it’s taking a long time to make progress (进步) in your study. That is when you might need some help. And asking for help will move you forward more quickly than trying hard by yourself.Asking for help isn’t always easy. It can be difficult if you’re not sure who to ask. You may think they don’t want to help you, or they haven’t got the time. If you’re shy, it can be harder to open your mouth to ask. Angela McMillan, a teacher who advises young people, says asking for help can feel risky (有风险的). “We may feelafraid that it isn’t something important to others, or that they don’t know what to say.”Everyone finds things difficult sometimes, and you’re not the only one. McMillan believes asking for help is a way of facing up to problems. “It’s good to let someone in, ask them to listen to you and help you come up with ideas to solve a problem. By asking for help, you practice speaking up for yourself and saying what you need. It also helps other people better understand your problem and then you are more able to solve the problem.”27．What does the writer want to show us by listing (列出) two questions in Paragraph 1A．We sometimes need help. B．We should never give up. C．We should learn to grow up. D．We can solve problems alone. 28．What is Paragraph 2 mainly aboutA．Who we can ask for help.B．How we can help others.C．What we should do to help.D．Why we should ask for help.29．Which of the following could be McMillan’s idea according to the passageA．It’s important to ask for help when necessary.B．Young people should try hard to solve problems.C．To be a good listener is the key to solve the problem. D．People will be angry if they don’t know what to say. 30．Who is the passage most probably written for A．Doctors. B．Students. C．Teachers. D．Parents.三、任务型阅读Study Better with Flash Cards (闪示卡)If you think flash cards are used only to teach ABCs to little kids, think again.
