(A)
Thousands of new words are invented each year. Most of these come from science. When
scientists discover something new, if they do not have a word for their discovery, they make one
up. Words are often made up by big companies for their new products. If a product becomes
popular, then everyone will know both the product and the new word. Other companies quickly
make similar products. Other companies, however, still cannot print the new word on their
products. It is against the law to copy other people's ideas or inventions. We have all listened to a
Walkman, haven't we Maybe not! The company which developed this product, Sony, owns the
word “Walkman”. And no other company can print it on the tape machines.
The word "Coke" is also owned by a company. It is the name of a soft drink made by the
Coca Cola company. But most people use the word generally for any soft drink. The word
"Frisbee" is owned by a company, too. However, it has become a general word for all similar
products. but only one company makes Frisbees.
It may be hard for a new word to become popular, but it is easy to make up one. You can try
yourself!

Almost everyone has a question or two about living in space. What is life really like in space
And what do astronauts do there
Astronauts living in space have the same hygiene needs as people do on Earth. When they
wake up, they wash their hair, brush their teeth and go to the bathroom as well. However, because
of micro-gravity (微重力), astronauts take care of themselves in different ways. For example, they
use a kind of special matter to wash their hair and leg restraints (固定装置) to position themselves
when they use the toilet.
Astronauts eat three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. Some food can be eaten in the
natural form such as fruit. Other foods require adding water such as noodles. There are no fridges
in space, so space food must be stored and prepared properly to avoid going bad.
Besides morning routine and eating in space, astronauts perform many tasks including
checking the machines, updating computer equipment (设备), etc. At the same time, the control
center on Earth sends messages to the astronauts through voice or emails with new instructions to
assist them in their daily routines.
What’s more, living in space is not just all work and no play. A popular way of relaxation is
looking out of the window. And they can also enjoy themselves by watching movies, reading
books, playing cards and talking to their families during their free time.
41. The underlined word “hygiene” in this passage probably means “________” in Chinese.
A.卫生 B.饮食 C.心理 D. 娱乐
42. As for eating in space, which statement is Not True
A. Astronauts eat three meals a day as people do on Earth.
B. Fruit can be eaten in the natural form.
C. Noodles can be eaten in space.
D. Food can be kept fresh in fridges.
43. What's the main idea of Paragraph Four
A. Eating in space. B. Working in space.
C. Relaxing in space. D. Living in space.
44. Besides checking the machines and updating computer equipment, astronauts also need to
__________ in their daily work.
A. communicate with friends on Earth
B. write e-mail letters to people on Earth
C. control the people at the control center on Earth
D. receive the messages and follow the instructions from the control center on Earth
45. From this passage, we learn that _________________.
A. life in space is exactly the same as life on Earth
B. astronauts have little free time in space
C. living in space is different but interesting
D. there is no fun living in space

五、阅读填空（共 5小题；每小题分，满分 5分）
Hide-and-seek is a popular children’s game around the world. But do you know the
Hide-and-Seek World Championship 51 This year, the competition took place in an Italian
town called Consonno.
The Hide-and-Seek World Championship is not like the traditional childhood game. It goes
on for two days. This is a team game, and there are five players in each team. 52 Players
have 1 minute to hide from the searching (搜寻) team. Then they need to come out of their hiding
place and reach a soft mattress (床垫 ) in 10 minutes. 53 If players are found by the
searching team, they will not get any points. If they don’t reach the mattress within 10 minutes,
they won’t get any points either. 54 The winning prize was the 2017 Golden Fig Leaf.
It sounds easy enough, but the searching team is made up of American football players. They
are both fast and very good at catching runners. So it’s not that easy and the most difficult part is
deciding when to come out of the hiding place.
The first Hide-and-Seek World Championship took place in Italy in 2010. 55 But now
it is world-famous. It brings Japanese, American and Australian players to Italy. The organizers
hope it will become an Olympic sport some day.
A. The first to reach the mattress can get 20 points, the second 19 and so on.
B. It is not a game for children but a competition for grown-ups.
C. In its beginning, only Italians took part in the competition.
D. The rules of the competition are simple.
E. In 2017, the winner was a team from Italy.
