There can be magic in the touch of a hand that loves you. It brings comfort and a silent promise that says, “I am here and you are not alone.”
When my children were born, I memorized every detail about them: the skin that felt so, soft, the lips that looked like a pink flower, and the eyes that looked deep into my soul. And, of course, their hands.
As babies, they reached for me whenever they were hungry or tired or just needed to be held. Sometimes, if they woke in the night, just the touch of my hand would case them back to sleep. They clung (抓住) to me when they took their first ’steps and we held hands when crossing streets and walking from the car to their classroom on their first day of school.
My hands picked them up when they fell, and clapped louder than anybody else at their sports games and plays. Their hands waved at me from the window of a school bus, the stage of an auditorium (观众席), and from the bottom of a pool.
As they grew older and more independent, I noticed that they didn’t hold my hand much anymore. I told myself it was part of growing up, and I should just be glad they could do things on their own now. But when you’ve been needed so much for such a long time, it’s hard to step back and feel unnecessary.
Then one day. I was visiting my oldest son in New York, where he was working as an actor on a TV show. As we were about lo cross a busy street that was filed with traffic, he grabbed my hand and shouted, “Hang on 10 me, Mom,” then led me safely across.
At that moment, I realized two things. First, my boy had become mature. Second, it was clear that our roles had changed. We still needed each other but in much more different ways than before.
That scene has replayed in various ways with each of my three children. They have all taught me to lean on them just as they once leaned on me, and that we can always lean on each other. We live miles apart, but stay in touch every day, There is magic and comfort and healing in the touch of a hand that loves you, even if it “touches” you from afar.
4. How did the author get along with her children when they were young
A. She was very strict with them.
B. She overprotected them.
C. She was too busy to take care of them.
D. She developed a close bond with them.
5. How did the author feel when her kids became more independent
A. She found it hard not to be needed anymore.
B. She felt lonely when living apart from them.
C. She was worried that they couldn’t manage themselves.
D. She was pleased to be able to step back and enjoy herself.
6. The underlined word “mature” in paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. ripe B. full-grown C. big D. complete
7. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text
A. To explore how to interact with children.
B. To describe the growth of her children.
C. To show the power of the touch of a hand.
D. To present how parents influence their kids.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者记录孩子的成长变过程以及后来孩子长大成人后，即使与孩子分隔千里，也永远交换着彼此的爱。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“As babies, they reached for me whenever they were hungry or tired or just needed to be held. Sometimes, if they woke in the night, just the touch of my hand would case them back to sleep. They clung (抓住) to me when they took their first ’steps and we held hands when crossing streets and walking from the car to their classroom on their first day of school.”（他们还是婴儿的时候，当他们饿了、累了或者只是需要我抱着的时候，他们就会来找我。有时候，如果他们在夜里醒来，只要我的手一碰，他们就会重新入睡。他们踏出第一步的时候紧抱着我，他们第一天上学的时候，我们牵着手过马路，从车里走到教室的路上。）以及第四段“My hands picked them up when they fell, and clapped louder than anybody else at their sports games and plays. Their hands waved at me from the window of a school bus, the stage of an auditorium (观众席), and from the bottom of a pool.”（他们摔倒时，我的手会把他们扶起来，在他们的体育游戏和游戏中，我的掌声比任何人都响。他们的手从校车的窗户向我挥手，从礼堂的舞台上，从游泳池的底部。）可知，作者和他的孩子培养了一种亲密的关系。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“As they grew older and more independent, I noticed that they didn’t hold my hand much anymore. I told myself it was part of growing up, and I should just be glad they could do things on their own now. But when you’ve been needed so much for such a long time, it’s hard to step back and feel unnecessary.”（随着他们长大，也越来越独立，我注意到他们不再经常牵我的手了。我告诉自己，这是成长的一部分，我应该很高兴他们现在可以自己做自己的事情。但当你被需要了这么长时间，你很难退一步，觉得自己是多余的。）可知，随着孩子变得越来越独立的时候，作者发现自己很难不再被需要。故选A项。
【6题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第六段“Then one day. I was visiting my oldest son in New York, where he was working as an actor on a TV show. As we were about lo cross a busy street that was filed with traffic, he grabbed my hand and shouted, “Hang on 10 me, Mom,” then led me safely across.”（然后有一天。我去纽约看望我的大儿子，他在那里做一个电视节目的演员。当我们要穿过一条车水车水的繁忙街道时，他抓住我的手喊道:“妈妈，等我一下。”然后领着我安全地过了马路。）可知，此时的儿子已经不是妈妈领着他走路了，而是儿子主动的去带领着妈妈过马路。故可推知，这样的举止让母亲觉得儿子已经长大成人了。A选项，熟的（一般指果实的成熟）；CD选项与文章内容不符。故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“There can be magic in the touch of a hand that loves you. It brings comfort and a silent promise that says, “I am here and you are not alone.””（一只爱你的手的触摸会产生一种魔力。它带来安慰和无声的承诺:“我在这里，你并不孤单。”）以及最后一段“We live miles apart, but stay in touch every day, There is magic and comfort and healing in the touch of a hand that loves you, even if it “touches” you from afar.”（我们相隔千里，但每天都保持联系。一只爱你的手的触摸，即使它从远方“触摸”你，也有一种魔力、安慰和治愈。）可知，首尾段都是在描述“一只爱你的手的触摸”，形成首尾回应，故可推知作者的写作目的是“展示手触摸的力量”。故选C项。
C
It happens every spring. Flowers suddenly burst out everywhere on the same day, as if they were in tune with one another; But how exactly do plants “know” when to flower
It is a question that has puzzled biologists for years. But according to Science Daily, a US research group may have finally answered it. The secret lies in a protein called FKF1. This allows plants to sense the differences in day lengths so that they can tell the seasons are changing.
Researchers spotted the FKF1 protein when they were studying a plant called Arabidopsis. They found that the FKF1 protein is a photoreceptor (感光器). This means it is sensitive to, and can be activated (激活) by sunlight.
Plants produce this protein every day in the late afternoon throughout the year. If there is no light at this time, for example, in winter when the sun goes down early, the protein won’t be activated. But when spring comes and the days get longer, the FKF1 protein can be activated by daylight and the plants “know” it is time to flower. “The presence of light in the late afternoon is the signal for plants that the days are getting longer and that it is the optimal (最佳的) time for flowering,” explained Takato Imaizumi, assistant professor at the University of Washington and leader of the study. This daylight-sensing system also keeps plants from flowering when conditions are poor for growing, such as during autumn or winter when the weather is cold and days are short.
Although researchers have only studied how the FKF1 protein works in the Arabidopsis, they believe that the process is similar in many other more complex plants, including crops like rice and wheat. This could be useful to the agricultural industry.
“If we can control the timing of flowering, we might be able to increase crop yield by accelerating or delaying this,” Imaizumi said. “Also, if we could control the timing of flowering in horticultural (园艺的) plants, they may be worth more commercially.”
New technology based on this research might also lead to higher yields of biofuel (生物燃料) plants. This would be helpful for providing energy.
8. The passage is mainly about ________.
A. how plants “know” when to flower
B. what people can do with plants
C. how seasons are changing
D. how people control the time of flowering
9. The best time for flowers to come out is when,
A. it rains in spring
B. there is light in the late afternoon
C. it is getting dark
D. the sun goes down early
10. What can we learn from the article
A. When there is no sunlight; the FKF1 protein won’t be produced.
B. Plants are particularly sensitive to cold weather and shorter days.
C. We are getting closer to regulating plant flowering times.
D. Researchers have studied how the FKF1 protein works in rice and wheat.
11. The study mentioned in the article may helps us understand how to ________.
A. have plants that flower all year round
B. produce more chemical energy
C. increase the number of species of horticultural plants
D. increase production in the agricultural industry
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一个困扰生物学家多年问题，植物究竟是如何“知道”何时开花的呢 一个美国研究小组可能终于回答了这个问题。秘密在于一种叫做FKF1的蛋白质。这使得植物能够感知白昼长度的差异，从而得知季节的变化。以及通过这项研究预测可以很好的利用于农业和商业。
8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“It happens every spring. Flowers suddenly burst out everywhere on the same day, as if they were in tune with one another; But how exactly do plants “know” when to flower ”（每年春天都会发生。花儿突然在同一天到处绽放，仿佛它们彼此之间很和谐;但植物究竟是如何“知道”何时开花的呢 ）可知，这篇文章主要讨论的是当植物开花的时候，它们是如何知道的？故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The presence of light in the late afternoon is the signal for plants that the days are getting longer and that it is the optimal time for flowering,” explained Takato Imaizumi, assistant professor at the University of Washington and leader of the study.”（华盛顿大学助理教授、这项研究的负责人Takato Imaizumi解释说:“对于植物来说，下午晚些时候的光线是白天变长、现在是开花的最佳时间的信号。”）可知，最好的开花时间是在下午晚些时候的光线下。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“Although researchers have only studied how the FKF1 protein works in the Arabidopsis, they believe that the process is similar in many other more complex plants, including crops like rice and wheat.”（尽管研究人员只研究了FKF1蛋白在拟南芥中的工作方式，但他们认为，包括水稻和小麦在内的许多其他更复杂的植物也存在类似的过程。）以及第六段“If we can control the timing of flowering, we might be able to increase crop yield by accelerating or delaying this,” Imaizumi said. “Also, if we could control the timing of flowering in horticultural (园艺的) plants, they may be worth more commercially.””（Imaizumi说:“如果我们能控制开花的时间，我们也许能通过加速或推迟开花来提高作物产量。””,此外，如果我们能控制园艺植物的开花时间，它们可能更有商业价值。”）可知，FKF1蛋白在拟南芥中的工作方式在包括水稻和小麦在内的以及许多其他更复杂的植物也存在类似的过程，以及Imaizumi所说的话，故可推知我们离调节植物开花时间越来越近了。故选C项。
【11题详解】

Tianwen-I probe enters orbit around Mars
After nearly seven months in space. China’s Tianwen-I probe successfully entered the orbit around Mars on February 10. It marks the first time that a Chinese spacecraft has orbited an outside-earth planet Tianwen-I consists of an orbiter. a lander and a six-wheeled rover carrying scientific instruments. A 3,000-Newton engine was fired up at 7:52 pm to slow down the spacecraft. After some 15 minutes, precise braking (刹) near Mars helped the probe succeed in entering the orbit around the Red Planet. That means Tianwen-I has become China’s first man-made satellite of Mars and achieved the first goal of its three-step mission—orbiting, landing and roving.
Tianwen-I makes China the sixth country to ever reach Mars. It was launched by a long March-5 carrier rocket, China’s largest launch vehicle, on July 23,2020. The probe has flown 475 million kilometers and was 192 million kilometers away from: Earth when it reached the Mars orbit.
Tianwen-I will now conduct several orbital corrections to enter a temporary, Mars “parking” orbit, looking for potential landing sites in preparation for a “touch-down” in May or June. The most challenging part of the mission will be the soft landing.
Chinese space engineers and scientists have chosen a relatively, flat region in the southern part of the Utopia Planitia, the largest plain on Mars, as the potential landing zone. The site was selected for its conditions for a safe landing and scientific research value. It has not been investigated by other countries yet, so the scientific data can be shared with the international community to enrich the world’s understanding of the Red Planet.
After the landing, the rover will be set free to, conduct scientific exploration and it has an expected lifespan(使用期限) of at least 90 Martian days(about three months on Earth). The orbiter, with a design lifespan of one Martian year(about 687 days on Earth), will relay(接转) communications to and from the rover while carrying out its own scientific detection work. If China can succeed in orbiting, landing and roving with Tianwen-I, it will take further challenges on the next Mars mission: collecting and bringing back samples from the surface.
Tianwen-I means “Questions to Heaven” and comes from a poem written by Qu Yuan, One of the greatest poets of ancient China The name represents the Chinese nation’s persistent determination in pursuing truth and science and exploring nature and the universe.
12. Tianwen-I had to ________ before it entered the orbit around the Red Planet.
A. speed up B. slow down C. change its direction D. pause for a while
13. What is the approximate flying-speed of Tianwen-I probe
A. 38, 000 km per hour. B. 9, 000 km per hour.
C. 94, 000 km per hour. D. 66, 700 km per hour,
14. Why has one of the regions in the Utopia Planitia been chosen as the landing zone
A. It is nearer to the orbit.
B. The climate conditions there are satisfactory.
C. It is easy for the rover to move on.
D. It is ideal for landing and scientific research.
15. What is the most difficult for Tianwen-I’s mission
A. Orbiting around Mars.
B. Roving on Mars.
C. Bring back samples from Mars.
D. Soft landing onto Mars.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. D

Curling(冰壶)is a winter sport played on ice. Therefore, it’s most popular in northern countries like Canada. Curling is played in the USA by about 15,000 people.___16___Scottish winters were long and there were forms of entertainment. So people began making a sport out of sliding heavy stones on the frozen lakes. The game spread, and in the 1700s curling clubs formed. Then Scottish soldiers brought it to North America.
___17___Men, women, and children often compete on the same team, if they can slide a forty-pound stone down the ice! Both teams slide their stones toward the same goal. After all 16 stones have been cast, the team whose stone has slid closest to the goal gets one point.
___18___The ice is so smooth and the stone is so heavy that even the smallest misjudgment in a throw can make the stone slide much too far or stop too suddenly.___19___Water helps the stone slide, but it can also change the stone’s path.
In curling, a broom is part of each player’s equipment. A good curler must know how much force to use. The player must know the exact conditions of the ice on the court.___20___That may explain why the international Olympic Committee decided to make curling an Olympic sport in 1998.
A. Players compete on the court.
B. Then the play begins in the other direction.
C. Curling is played by teams of four people.
D. In other words, a good curler must be a fine athlete.
E. The rules are easy to learn, but playing the game is hard.
F. The melting of the ice makes things tough for the curlers.
G. Curling probably began in Scotland in the 1500s or earlier.

【16题详解】
根据后文的“Scottish winters were long and there were forms of entertainment. So people began making a sport out of sliding heavy stones on the frozen lakes. The game spread (苏格兰的冬天很长，有各种娱乐形式。因此，人们开始用重石头在结冰的湖面上滑动制作一项运动，这项运动逐渐传播开来)”可推知，此处是概述冰壶的历史渊源，所以G项“冰壶运动可能起源于16世纪或更早的苏格兰”切题。故选 G项。
【17题详解】
根据本段的整体内容可知，本段主要讲的是冰壶的具体游戏规则，所以C项“冰壶比赛由四人组成的队伍进行”切题。故选C项。
【18题详解】
上段讲的是冰壶的游戏规则，根据空后“The ice is so smooth and the stone is so heavy that even the smallest misjudgment in a throw can make the stone slide much too far or stop too suddenly.(冰面很平滑，并且石头很重，所以投球时，最微小的偏差也可以使石头滑出很远或者骤然停止)”可知，本段讲的是冰壶具体操作起来并非易事，所以E项“The rules are easy to learn, but playing the game is hard.（规则很容易学，但从事这项运动却很难。）”承上启下。故选E项。
【19题详解】
根据空格前句可推知，冰壶在实际操作中并非易事，与选项F“对于冰壶球员来说，冰融化会使情况更艰难”呼应，都是讲冰壶操作不易；且F项中的The melting of the ice与空后的Water呼应，所以F项切题。故选F项。
【20题详解】
根据空前一句“A good curler must know how much force to use. The player must know the exact conditions of the ice on the court.(一个好的冰壶球员必须知道用多少力量。运动员必须知道球场上冰面的准确条件)”可知，D项“In other words, a good curler must be a fine athlete.(换句话说，一个好的冰壶球员必须是一个优秀的运动员)”与上文意义一致，且D项中“a good curler”与上文中“A good curler”呼应。故选D项。

【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在古代石刻和壁画消失之前，中国西北部的宁夏回族自治区采用了数字技术来保护它们。分析句意可知，设空处需填动词不定式作目的状语。故填to preserve。

【38题详解】
考查时态。句意：在书写系统发明之前，石刻就已经出现了。分析句子结构可知，设空处缺少主句的谓语，从句时态为一般过去时，根据句意可知主句动作发生在从句动作之前，也就是发生在过去的过去，因而用过去完成时。故填had appeared。

【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意：目前，还没有有效的、自然的科学技术手段来防止它们的消失。分析句子可知，设空处与下文的scientific和technological一同作定语修饰名词means，因而需填入形容词。故填effective。
【45题详解】
考查冠词或者代词。句意：一些专家预测，到本世纪末，世界上四分之一的岩画将完全消失。a/one quarter of为固定短语，意为“四分之一”。故填a/one。

第二节 读后续写（满分25分）
47. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的 短文。
This was it.
Today was the day.
Finally, she would be able to see her again.
It’d been five long years. Her university days now felt like a lifetime ago. When Jennifer thought back to it, she didn’t like the girl she had been then, but when she thought about Yui Fay, that discomfort disappeared and her whole life lit up.
She couldn’t be more excited. She kept imagining their meeting – how they would run towards each other, hugging and talking of the old times. As she imagined, happiness spread through her body.
It was time to get dressed. As she was struggling about what to wear, she spotted a red summer dress, which she wore that night in Barcelona. She would never forget that night five years before. After a hard week at university, Yui Fay and she spontaneously (心血来潮地) bought bus tickets to Barcelona. They slept on the bus and then spent the whole day exploring the city. In the evening, they met these fun young guys and spent the whole night singing and dancing. Every day with Yui Fay was fun.
After university Yui Fay went back to China where she took over her family’s business, while Jennifer took the job in an office. They promised to keep in contact. But then life happened. The occasional calls faded with time and they had not talked for over two years. Yet, of all her friends, Yui Fay was still the one she felt the closest to. She knew all her fears, dreams, and her wildest stories. She knew that if something happened, Yui Fay would be there for her no matter what. And vice versa. Some friendships just survive the passage of time.
Yet the idea of meeting her was also terrifying. What if… The idea was too hard to put into words. What if the person she was so fond of was no longer What if this dinner turned out to be nothing more than a meeting between two boring businesswomen
At that moment, her cellphone rang.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Jennifer took up her phone and looked at the screen.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Just then, someone was coming towards Jennifer.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Jennifer took up her phone and looked at the screen. It was Yui Fay. She suggested Jennifer bring more clothes as they would have a big project tonight. Confused though she was, Jennifer did what she was told as always. She packed a few more clothes, the red dress included, and left for the appointed restaurant. Yui Fay had not arrived, so she took her time to scan the menu and thought about what to order.
Paragraph 2:
Just then, someone was coming towards Jennifer. Jennifer looked up and saw the face that she had been dreaming these days. “Yui Fay!” She shouted excitedly and ran to give her a big hug. Yui Fay smilingly hugged her back and told her what the big project was. “Let’s take a bus trip to Barcelona and relive our adventure!” Yue Fay hadn’t changed a bit, still the wild girl she used to be. And Jennifer knew immediately that it would be a great day.
Version 2:
Paragraph 1:
Jennifer took up her phone and looked at the screen. It was Yui Fay. She said that she would not be able to come and meet her and asked for a rain check. Jennifer was shocked and disappointed. After all, she’d been waiting for this moment for ages. Sad though she was, she had no choice but to agree. Having hung up the phone, she aimlessly wondered on the street and ended up walking into the appointed restaurant. The menu was filled with her favorite dishes yet she had little appetite for anything. She was so sad that she was not aware of what would surprise her next.
Paragraph 2:
Just then, someone was coming towards Jennifer. She delicately patted Jennifer on one side of her shoulder, slipped to the other side and said, “Is the seat taken ” Jennifer looked up and saw that naughty, wild and adventurous face that had been carved into her brain. “Yui Fay!” Jennifer shouted out excitedly. “Why are you here ” Yui Fay smilingly explained that she had followed her the whole time to give her a big surprise. The rest of the day was great joy. It turned out that they didn’t change a bit, neither did their friendship.
【解析】
【分析】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了Jennifer即将要和五年没见的大学时期最要好的朋友Yui Fay见面，重点描述了对过去生活的回忆以及她对见面场景的设想。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“珍妮弗拿起手机，看着屏幕。”可知，第一段可描写电话的主要内容。
②由第二段首句内容“就在这时，有人向珍妮弗走来。”可知，第二段可描写两人见面后的场景，以及即将要进行的大计划。
2.续写线索：Yui Fay建议多带衣服——Jennifer感到困惑——Jennifer打包几件衣服——前往餐厅——Jennifer抬头看到Yui Fay——Jennifer兴奋地喊着——给予拥抱——告诉Jennifer大项目——Jennifer意识到将会是美好的一天

There can be magic in the touch of a hand that loves you. It brings comfort and a silent promise that says, “I am here and you are not alone.”
When my children were born, I memorized every detail about them: the skin that felt so, soft, the lips that looked like a pink flower, and the eyes that looked deep into my soul. And, of course, their hands.
As babies, they reached for me whenever they were hungry or tired or just needed to be held. Sometimes, if they woke in the night, just the touch of my hand would case them back to sleep. They clung (抓住) to me when they took their first ’steps and we held hands when crossing streets and walking from the car to their classroom on their first day of school.
My hands picked them up when they fell, and clapped louder than anybody else at their sports games and plays. Their hands waved at me from the window of a school bus, the stage of an auditorium (观众席), and from the bottom of a pool.
As they grew older and more independent, I noticed that they didn’t hold my hand much anymore. I told myself it was part of growing up, and I should just be glad they could do things on their own now. But when you’ve been needed so much for such a long time, it’s hard to step back and feel unnecessary.
Then one day. I was visiting my oldest son in New York, where he was working as an actor on a TV show. As we were about lo cross a busy street that was filed with traffic, he grabbed my hand and shouted, “Hang on 10 me, Mom,” then led me safely across.
At that moment, I realized two things. First, my boy had become mature. Second, it was clear that our roles had changed. We still needed each other but in much more different ways than before.
That scene has replayed in various ways with each of my three children. They have all taught me to lean on them just as they once leaned on me, and that we can always lean on each other. We live miles apart, but stay in touch every day, There is magic and comfort and healing in the touch of a hand that loves you, even if it “touches” you from afar.

It happens every spring. Flowers suddenly burst out everywhere on the same day, as if they were in tune with one another; But how exactly do plants “know” when to flower
It is a question that has puzzled biologists for years. But according to Science Daily, a US research group may have finally answered it. The secret lies in a protein called FKF1. This allows plants to sense the differences in day lengths so that they can tell the seasons are changing.
Researchers spotted the FKF1 protein when they were studying a plant called Arabidopsis. They found that the FKF1 protein is a photoreceptor (感光器). This means it is sensitive to, and can be activated (激活) by sunlight.
Plants produce this protein every day in the late afternoon throughout the year. If there is no light at this time, for example, in winter when the sun goes down early, the protein won’t be activated. But when spring comes and the days get longer, the FKF1 protein can be activated by daylight and the plants “know” it is time to flower. “The presence of light in the late afternoon is the signal for plants that the days are getting longer and that it is the optimal (最佳的) time for flowering,” explained Takato Imaizumi, assistant professor at the University of Washington and leader of the study. This daylight-sensing system also keeps plants from flowering when conditions are poor for growing, such as during autumn or winter when the weather is cold and days are short.
Although researchers have only studied how the FKF1 protein works in the Arabidopsis, they believe that the process is similar in many other more complex plants, including crops like rice and wheat. This could be useful to the agricultural industry.
“If we can control the timing of flowering, we might be able to increase crop yield by accelerating or delaying this,” Imaizumi said. “Also, if we could control the timing of flowering in horticultural (园艺的) plants, they may be worth more commercially.”
New technology based on this research might also lead to higher yields of biofuel (生物燃料) plants. This would be helpful for providing energy.

D
Tianwen-I probe enters orbit around Mars
After nearly seven months in space. China’s Tianwen-I probe successfully entered the orbit around Mars on February 10. It marks the first time that a Chinese spacecraft has orbited an outside-earth planet Tianwen-I consists of an orbiter. a lander and a six-wheeled rover carrying scientific instruments. A 3,000-Newton engine was fired up at 7:52 pm to slow down the spacecraft. After some 15 minutes, precise braking (刹) near Mars helped the probe succeed in entering the orbit around the Red Planet. That means Tianwen-I has become China’s first man-made satellite of Mars and achieved the first goal of its three-step mission—orbiting, landing and roving.
Tianwen-I makes China the sixth country to ever reach Mars. It was launched by a long March-5 carrier rocket, China’s largest launch vehicle, on July 23,2020. The probe has flown 475 million kilometers and was 192 million kilometers away from: Earth when it reached the Mars orbit.
Tianwen-I will now conduct several orbital corrections to enter a temporary, Mars “parking” orbit, looking for potential landing sites in preparation for a “touch-down” in May or June. The most challenging part of the mission will be the soft landing.
Chinese space engineers and scientists have chosen a relatively, flat region in the southern part of the Utopia Planitia, the largest plain on Mars, as the potential landing zone. The site was selected for its conditions for a safe landing and scientific research value. It has not been investigated by other countries yet, so the scientific data can be shared with the international community to enrich the world’s understanding of the Red Planet.
After the landing, the rover will be set free to, conduct scientific exploration and it has an expected lifespan(使用期限) of at least 90 Martian days(about three months on Earth). The orbiter, with a design lifespan of one Martian year(about 687 days on Earth), will relay(接转) communications to and from the rover while carrying out its own scientific detection work. If China can succeed in orbiting, landing and roving with Tianwen-I, it will take further challenges on the next Mars mission: collecting and bringing back samples from the surface.
Tianwen-I means “Questions to Heaven” and comes from a poem written by Qu Yuan, One of the greatest poets of ancient China The name represents the Chinese nation’s persistent determination in pursuing truth and science and exploring nature and the universe.
12. Tianwen-I had to ________ before it entered the orbit around the Red Planet.
A. speed up B. slow down C. change its direction D. pause for a while
13. What is the approximate flying-speed of Tianwen-I probe
A. 38, 000 km per hour. B. 9, 000 km per hour.
C. 94, 000 km per hour. D. 66, 700 km per hour,
14. Why has one of the regions in the Utopia Planitia been chosen as the landing zone
A. It is nearer to the orbit.
B. The climate conditions there are satisfactory.
C. It is easy for the rover to move on.
D. It is ideal for landing and scientific research.
15. What is the most difficult for Tianwen-I’s mission
A. Orbiting around Mars.
B. Roving on Mars.
C. Bring back samples from Mars.
D. Soft landing onto Mars.

This was it.
Today was the day.
Finally, she would be able to see her again.
It’d been five long years. Her university days now felt like a lifetime ago. When Jennifer thought back to it, she didn’t like the girl she had been then, but when she thought about Yui Fay, that discomfort disappeared and her whole life lit up.
She couldn’t be more excited. She kept imagining their meeting – how they would run towards each other, hugging and talking of the old times. As she imagined, happiness spread through her body.
It was time to get dressed. As she was struggling about what to wear, she spotted a red summer dress, which she wore that night in Barcelona. She would never forget that night five years before. After a hard week at university, Yui Fay and she spontaneously (心血来潮地) bought bus tickets to Barcelona. They slept on the bus and then spent the whole day exploring the city. In the evening, they met these fun young guys and spent the whole night singing and dancing. Every day with Yui Fay was fun.
After university Yui Fay went back to China where she took over her family’s business, while Jennifer took the job in an office. They promised to keep in contact. But then life happened. The occasional calls faded with time and they had not talked for over two years. Yet, of all her friends, Yui Fay was still the one she felt the closest to. She knew all her fears, dreams, and her wildest stories. She knew that if something happened, Yui Fay would be there for her no matter what. And vice versa. Some friendships just survive the passage of time.
Yet the idea of meeting her was also terrifying. What if… The idea was too hard to put into words. What if the person she was so fond of was no longer What if this dinner turned out to be nothing more than a meeting between two boring businesswomen
At that moment, her cellphone rang.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;
