Chinese athletes did a great job at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, winning 88 medals in total-But did you know that there are many cool technologies — even space technologies — behind their success
Quan Hongchan, a 14-year-old diving darling who won the gold, said an Al training system helped her train. Developed by Baidu, the system analyzes （分析）a diver's body posture from the diving board until he or she enters the water. A dive can last less than two seconds. But the Al can catch many important details , such as the diver's starting height, entry speed and angle. These data are sent to coaches right away.
Before setting out for Tokyo, some Chinese athletes visited the China Academy of Aerospace Aerodynamics （中国航天空气动力技术研究院），The technologies there are normally used to develop rockets and missiles. But they can also help rowers, swimmers and cyclists.
“For example, rowers in the women's quadruple sculls （四人双桨赛艇）came to my lab and used a wind tunnel to do experiments." said Jia Yi from the academy. The tunnel can make winds with different speeds. "They measured the air drag（空气阻力）on their bodies. The data helped them change their movement and redesign their sport suits."
But there's even more. The national table tennis team has a popular "coach” called Pongbot. It's a robot that can make difficult shots and never gets tired. Su Bingtian, the first Chinese sprinter to reach the Olympic 100-meter final, uses high-speed cameras to record his training. “The use of technology will help improve the nation's overall competitiveness in sports," said Huang Haiyan, a professor at the Shanghai University of Sport.
36. How many medals did the Chinese athletes win at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games
A. 88 B.38 C.32 D.18

D（2021年山东东营中考）
Galileo Galilei was born in Pisa, Italy, in 1564. His father taught music while his mother cared for kids at home. The family was not wealthy, but Galileo’s parents paid for him to go to school.
At first Galileo planned to become a doctor, but he changed his mind. He liked a different kind of science—physics. In Galileo's time, not much was known about how objects moved. Centuries earlier, a Greek（希腊人）named Aristotle had written down his ideas about movements, and everyone seemed to believe them. Galileo questioned those ideas and did experiments （实验）that showed how things really worked. For example, Aristotle thought that a heavier object would fall faster than a lighter one of the same size and shape. No one had ever really tested this idea. It just seemed to be true. Then Galileo came along, dropped two balls from a high tower, and discovered that they hit the ground at the same time!
In later years, Galileo became interested in how the stars and planets move. He watched the sky with a telescope（望远镜）he built himself. Once again, he saw things no one had ever seen before. For example, he saw that the moon was not smooth. Then he noticed that the sun had spots （斑点）that seemed to move. Galileo realized from his observations （观察）that the earth was moving around the sun. A Polish （波兰的）scientist named Copernicus had said this recently, but no one believed him. Galileo knew that Copernicus was right. Unluckily, Galileo's announcement got him into trouble with the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church said that the earth was at the center of the universe （宇宙）with the sun traveling around it. This was what people had long believed, but Galileo said it was untrue. So he was sent to prison（监狱）. He was soon set free, but for the rest of his life he had to stay in his house and yard.
Galileo died in 1642, but his work helped to change the world. He is sometimes called the father of modern science, because he showed us how important it is to look carefully at things and to test out ideas with experiments.
36. Both Galileo and Copernicus believed that ________.
A. two objects fall at the same speed
B. the moon is smooth
C. the earth goes around the sun
D. the earth is the center of the universe
37. We can infer from this passage that ________.
A. Galileo's parents didn't value the education
B. all of Aristotle's ideas were proved to be wrong
C. Galileo knew Copernicus and exchanged letters with him
D. the Catholic Church was very powerful in Galileo's time
38. While Galileo stayed at home in his later years， he most probably ________.
A. learned to play music
B. began to practice medicine
C. continued with his science experiments
D. wrote books on modern science
39. According to this passage, Galileo is called "the father of modem science" because he ________.
A. was brave to fight against the church
B. questioned other scientists1 ideas
C. built a telescope to look at the stars and planets
D. made careful observations and tested his ideas
40. Which would be a good title for this passage
A. Mysteries in the universe
B. Galileo, father of modern science
C. “Is it true ” —Different ideas in science
D. Great minds saved the world
【答案】36. C 37. D 38. C 39. D 40. B
【解析】这是一篇记叙文，文章讲述伽利略通过观察用实验证明世人的想法和观点是否正确，被人们成为“现代科学之父”。
36.推理判断题。根据第三段“Galileo realized from his observations that the earth was moving around the sun. …Galileo knew that Copernicus was right”可知伽利略通过观察意识到地球是绕着太阳转的，哥白尼也这样认为，伽利略知道哥白尼是对的。可知二人都认为地球是绕着太阳转的。故选C。
37.推理判断题。根据第三段“Galileo's announcement got him into trouble with the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church said that the earth was at the center of the universe with the sun traveling around it…So he was sent to prison”可知伽利略的宣言和天主教的看法起了冲突，后来被判入狱。可知天主教在当时很有势力。故选D。
38.推理判断题。根据第二段“Galileo questioned those ideas and did experiments that showed how things really worked”及第三段“for the rest of his life he had to stay in his house and yard”伽利略询问这些想法，做实验证明这些想法是否奏效，伽利略在生命晚期仍待在家，可知伽利略最有可能继续做他的科学实验。故选C。
39.细节理解题。根据最后一段“ He is sometimes called the father of modern science because he showed us how important it is to look carefully at things and to test out ideas with experiments” 他被称为“现代科学之父”是因为他向大家显示仔细观察事物，用实验测验自己的想法的重要性。故选D。
40.标题概括题。根据最后一段“his work helped to change the world. He is sometimes called the father of modern science11 because he showed us how important it is to look carefully at things and to test out ideas with experiments”可知文章讲述伽利略通过观察用实验证明世人的想法和观点是否正确，被人们成为“现代科学之父”。标题可概括为“Galileo, father of modern science”。故选B。

Girls and boys,
With the development of the Internet, many students have smart phones. The students often spend so much time in playing games with them that they feel very tired. Someone doesn’t finish their homework on time. Someone even sleeps in class. Besides, smart phones do harm to our health, some students’ eyesight is becoming poorer and poorer.
To avoid these disadvantages, I think we should make some changes.
First, we should keep away from smart phones and work hard.
Second, stay with our family or friends if we are free and talk with them about our daily life, feelings and so on.
Third, take an active part in all kinds of activities, such as playing basketball, singing songs.
That’s all. Thank you!

Zhong Kaitong, a fourth-grader from Guangzhou, enjoyed a fun vacation this summer. Instead of attending English or math training courses, she played badminton and basketball most of the time.
A new guideline (指导方针) introduced by central authorities (中央政府) on July 24 helped Zhong enjoy some free time during the summer. Aiming to ease (减少) the schoolwork burden (负担) on primary and junior high school students, the guideline calls for reducing homework, improving the quality of education and regulating (规范) after-class activities,

More than 75 percent of children in Chinese cities from grades 1 to 12 are taking private (私人的) tutoring courses, Global Times reported.

Some training institutions have taken advantage of (利用) parents’ anxieties (焦虑) to make money,” said Chen Xianzhe, a professor at South China Normal University. “The guideline is meant to calm (安抚) the anxieties of parents and society as a whole.”
“But this does not mean the tutoring courses will completely disappear, since exams still exist (存在),” said Chu Zhaohui, a senior researcher at the National Institute of Education Sciences.

Chinese athletes did a great job at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, winning 88 medals in total-But did you know that there are many cool technologies — even space technologies — behind their success
Quan Hongchan, a 14-year-old diving darling who won the gold, said an Al training system helped her train. Developed by Baidu, the system analyzes （分析）a diver's body posture from the diving board until he or she enters the water. A dive can last less than two seconds. But the Al can catch many important details , such as the diver's starting height, entry speed and angle. These data are sent to coaches right away.
Before setting out for Tokyo, some Chinese athletes visited the China Academy of Aerospace Aerodynamics （中国航天空气动力技术研究院），The technologies there are normally used to develop rockets and missiles. But they can also help rowers, swimmers and cyclists.
“For example, rowers in the women's quadruple sculls （四人双桨赛艇）came to my lab and used a wind tunnel to do experiments." said Jia Yi from the academy. The tunnel can make winds with different speeds. "They measured the air drag（空气阻力）on their bodies. The data helped them change their movement and redesign their sport suits."
But there's even more. The national table tennis team has a popular "coach” called Pongbot. It's a robot that can make difficult shots and never gets tired. Su Bingtian, the first Chinese sprinter to reach the Olympic 100-meter final, uses high-speed cameras to record his training. “The use of technology will help improve the nation's overall competitiveness in sports," said Huang Haiyan, a professor at the Shanghai University of Sport.

D（2021年山东东营中考）
Galileo Galilei was born in Pisa, Italy, in 1564. His father taught music while his mother cared for kids at home. The family was not wealthy, but Galileo’s parents paid for him to go to school.
At first Galileo planned to become a doctor, but he changed his mind. He liked a different kind of science—physics. In Galileo's time, not much was known about how objects moved. Centuries earlier, a Greek（希腊人）named Aristotle had written down his ideas about movements, and everyone seemed to believe them. Galileo questioned those ideas and did experiments （实验）that showed how things really worked. For example, Aristotle thought that a heavier object would fall faster than a lighter one of the same size and shape. No one had ever really tested this idea. It just seemed to be true. Then Galileo came along, dropped two balls from a high tower, and discovered that they hit the ground at the same time!
In later years, Galileo became interested in how the stars and planets move. He watched the sky with a telescope（望远镜）he built himself. Once again, he saw things no one had ever seen before. For example, he saw that the moon was not smooth. Then he noticed that the sun had spots （斑点）that seemed to move. Galileo realized from his observations （观察）that the earth was moving around the sun. A Polish （波兰的）scientist named Copernicus had said this recently, but no one believed him. Galileo knew that Copernicus was right. Unluckily, Galileo's announcement got him into trouble with the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church said that the earth was at the center of the universe （宇宙）with the sun traveling around it. This was what people had long believed, but Galileo said it was untrue. So he was sent to prison（监狱）. He was soon set free, but for the rest of his life he had to stay in his house and yard.
Galileo died in 1642, but his work helped to change the world. He is sometimes called the father of modern science, because he showed us how important it is to look carefully at things and to test out ideas with experiments.
36. Both Galileo and Copernicus believed that ________.
A. two objects fall at the same speed
B. the moon is smooth
C. the earth goes around the sun
D. the earth is the center of the universe
37. We can infer from this passage that ________.
A. Galileo's parents didn't value the education
B. all of Aristotle's ideas were proved to be wrong
C. Galileo knew Copernicus and exchanged letters with him
D. the Catholic Church was very powerful in Galileo's time
38. While Galileo stayed at home in his later years， he most probably ________.
A. learned to play music
B. began to practice medicine
C. continued with his science experiments
D. wrote books on modern science
39. According to this passage, Galileo is called "the father of modem science" because he ________.
A. was brave to fight against the church
B. questioned other scientists1 ideas
C. built a telescope to look at the stars and planets
D. made careful observations and tested his ideas
40. Which would be a good title for this passage
A. Mysteries in the universe
B. Galileo, father of modern science
C. “Is it true ” —Different ideas in science
D. Great minds saved the world
