一、
On my recent trip to Sydney with my parents, we visited the Wildlife Park.
The Wildlife Park has lots of different animals and birds. Some are native(当地的) to Australia and can only be found there. There are over 600 animals there, including kangaroos, koalas and crocodiles(鳄鱼). They are kept in their natural environment. I like the Wildlife Park better than a zoo where most of the animals are in cages(笼子).
We first spent some time with the kangaroos. We were allowed to touch and feed them. It was very exciting to be so close to them. There were koalas there too. They looked very cuddly(令人想拥抱的). Although we were not allowed to carry them, I got to take a photo with one. It is a wonderful souvenir(纪念品) of my holiday in Sydney.
The Wildlife Park has plenty of freshwater and saltwater crocodiles. Some of them are really big and scary(吓人的) with huge teeth! I did not want to get too close to them.
There was also a bird show. The keepers showed us different species(种类) they had. I saw an old parrot which could "talk". It made a great impression on me.
I enjoyed the trip very much. There was so much to see.

Earlier this year, China achieved a new milestone(里程碑) in space exploration. On Jan 3, Chang'e 4 became the first space probe(探测器) in history to successfully land on the far side (dark side) of the moon. After a 26-day journey, it touched softly down on a crater. The whole process of landing lasted 12 minutes, which opened a new page in history of mankind's space exploration.
The far side of the moon is the side that we cannot see. We don't know much about it. This landing is of great importance. The far side of the moon is an ideal(理想的) place for scientific research. It may have unique minerals(矿物质) and other resources. Scientists can make clearer observations of deep space from there.
Chang'e 4 has sent back photos of the far side of the moon. It is also being used to carry out experiments. The data(数据) collected from these experiments could be used to help us build a base on the moon in the future. The success of the Chang'e 4 mission(任务) is a major achievement for China's space program.
China launched its lunar(月球的) exploration program in 2004, naming it Chang'e. Chinese scientists set three goals—"orbiting(环绕运行), landing and sample(样本) returning". Chang'e 4 has realized the second goal. The third will be achieved during the Chang'e 5 mission, which is set to take place before the end of this year.
Following the success of the Chang'e missions, Chinese scientists are looking even farther into our solar system(太阳系). China's first Mars mission is expected to be carried out by 2020.

Qian Xuesen was born in Shanghai on December 11th, 1911. He is known as "the father of China's space program" and "the king of the rocket".
When he was 24 years old, Qian went to America for further study. After graduation, he worked in America for a few years, where his working conditions were better. In the early 1950s, he heard New China had been founded(成立) and decided not to stay in America any longer. He succeeded in coming back to his motherland in 1955 though the American government tried to stop him.
In 1956, Qian Xuesen suggested setting up a special organization, which later became the leading organization for China's rocket and air travel programs. In June 1964, China successfully created its first medium rocket. Qian also played an important role in developing China's first man-made satellite(卫星). On April 24, 1970,"Dongfanghong-Ⅰ" was successfully sent into the air.
In 1964, a young man wrote Qian Xuesen a letter and pointed out a mistake in his published article. Qian immediately answered the letter and encouraged the young man to write an article about the mistake.
Zhu Yilin, who was said to be the last student of Qian Xuesen, once said, "I learned a lot of professional knowledge as well as the spirit and attitude that a scientist should have from Mr. Qian, especially his deep love for the motherland. Without that, he couldn't have helped to develop science and technology when New China was badly in need of scientists for its development. Without that, he would not have made the great contribution(贡献) to rocket industry in the late 1950s and early 1960s when conditions in China were too hard."
Mr. Qian has been dead for ten years, but he will live in the memory of Chinese people forever.
1. Why did Qian Xuesen go to America when he was young
A. To find a new job. B. To receive further study.
C. To meet with his parents. D. To find better working conditions.
2. When was China's first medium rocket created
A. In 1955. B. In 1956. C. In 1964. D. In 1970.
3. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us
A. The way Qian Xuesen tried to return to China.
B. The reason why a special organization was set up.
C. The role Qian Xuesen played in making the satellite
D. The contribution Qian Xuesen has made to China.
4. In Zhu Yilin's opinion, what made Qian Xuesen work hard for his motherland

四、
They say that "travel is the best teacher" and there is no better example of this idea than the Ming Dynasty travel writer and geographer Xu Xiake (1587—1641). His book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake, not only encouraged a love of travelling among Chinese people but provided important scientific information about the country's land and geography.
Born into a wealthy Jiangyin family, Xu became interested in books about different places at an early age and wanted to travel. When he was 18, however, Xu's father died and so, it seemed, did his travelling dreams. He now was responsible for the family farm and taking care of his 60-year-old mother as tradition required.
But his mother had different ideas. Understanding her son's love of travel and valuing the knowledge he could get from such experiences, this modern-thinking woman refused to keep her son at home. She agreed that Xu could travel for three months every year, when there was less farm work.
So at the age of twenty and with his mother's support, Xu set off for the first time, leaving behind not only his mother but his new wife as well. He would repeat this goodbye each year for most of the next 30 years. During this time, he travelled throughout the Ming kingdom, carefully studying the lands he passed through and recording his experiences and many discoveries in a diary. This diary, which once had over 500,000 words, would eventually become The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake.
Although rich, Xu avoided comfortable travel, preferring to go almost everywhere on foot. This way he could research the environment in detail and get a true picture of the natural world. Many of his trips were to hard-to-reach mountain areas, and through wild forests where few people lived. His willingness to face hardships came at a cost however. Progress was slow and tiring and he was frequently sick, robbed and beaten during his journeys.
Sadly Xu became seriously ill during his last and longest journey, a 4-year trip through the southwest of China. He died in 1641, soon after returning to his hometown for the last time. When his diary was finally printed years after his death, much of it had been destroyed or lost. Although incomplete, it still made Xu a travelling legend around the world.
1.What is the passage mainly about
A. The general details of Xu Xiake's life story.
B. The difficulties Xu Xiake faced in his travels.
C. The important discoveries made by Xu Xiake.

B.It helped him to save money and travel for a longer time.
C.It allowed him to see and study the environment in detail.
D.It was the only way to reach the places he was interested in.
4.What is true about Xu's book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake
A.It was only made public after Xu died.
B.It made Xu very famous during his lifetime.
C.It was the first travel book ever written in China,
D.It was mainly about the different people of China.

People often think of the North Pole (北极) and the South Pole as similar frozen(冰冻的) wastelands. They are both places with very cold temperatures and few people live there. However, the North and South Poles are not much alike as people may imagine.
The North Pole has no land, only thick ice. Temperatures seldom go above 32℉, at which water turns into ice. Most of the time, it stays below zero. In winter temperatures are usually as low as -30℉.
Although conditions were very poor, people tried for many centuries to reach the North Pole. About 100 years ago, two men, Robert Peary and Mathew Henson, were able to get to this environment full of troubles and difficulties. They reached the North Pole on March 8th, 1909.It was really a hard trip for them.
There are few things more dangerous than crossing the Arctic (北极圈) on foot. People who stayed there may face many problems: very cold temperatures, sudden storms, and even hunger. Most of the area is uninhabited. Few people can live in such a difficult place.
People might think that with such low temperatures for most of the year, the ice would be thick and hard. However, this is not true in the Arctic. The movement of the ocean water under the ice may often cause many different changes on the surface. Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes of water (水道) called "leads". Anyone who falls into a lead can be frozen to death in a few minutes.
1.This passage is probably from .
A.a book review B.a science book C.a school report D.a computer magazine
2.According to the passage, what happened about 100 years ago
A.Two men succeeded in getting to the North Pole.
B.Temperatures in the North Pole went above 32℉.
C.The environment in the North Pole suddenly became worse.
D.The North Pole changed into thick ice because of the temperatures.
3.What does the underlined word "uninhabited" probably mean in Chinese
A.气候恶劣的 B.充满危险的 C.困难重重的 D.无人居住的
4.The reason for the ice to break into two opening lanes of water is .
A.that the temperature suddenly drops
B.that the water under the ice is frozen
C.that the ocean water under the ice moves
D.that the surface is covered with lots of ice
5.What does this passage mainly talk about
A.The thick ice in the North Pole.
B.A difficult trip to the North Pole.
