Unsolved Mysteries About the Planet Earth
◆Mystery 1: Where did all the water come from
Water covers about 70 per cent of the Earth's surface and earns it the nickname "the blue planet". And where did it come from The most popular scientific theory states that the water came from several asteroids(小行星) filled with ice. Another suggests that the water actually has been around since the Earth's formation. However it happened, though, it's certainly worked out well for the Earth's life forms.
◆Mystery 2: What happened to all the oxygen
Another thing is the planet's oxygen. Tiny creatures released oxygen as a waste product, filling the atmosphere with it. After that, the level of oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere went wildly up and down until it finally calmed down around 540 million years ago. Since then, it's remained at about the breathable level we experience today. But what caused it to be suddenly steady
◆Mystery 3: What caused the Cambrian(寒武纪的) Explosion
The Cambrian Explosion refers to the explosion of complex life forms that occurred on Earth about 540 million years ago. Before then, life had consisted mostly of bacteria. But at the beginning of the Cambrian period, complex creatures began developing at a rate never seen before. Suddenly, life forms had brains, eyes, and bones. Most living creatures today can trace their blood back to the Cambrian period.
◆Mystery 4: Will we ever be able to predict earthquakes
We still haven't been able to come up with a way to accurately predict earthquakes. We can certainly try, but our current technology cannot predict them exactly. We know that earthquakes start when rock cracks underground and sends earthquake waves towards the surface, but we haven't figured out why that happens, or how to predict it.
1.Which of the following is true according to the text
A.The Earth is called "the blue star" because of its water coverage.
B.The level of oxygen has been steady all the time.
C.Complex creatures had rapid development at the start of the Cambrian period.
D.We know nothing about predicting earthquakes.
2.Which of the following is true about Mystery 4
A.It is the oldest mystery of the four. B.It will be solved in the near future.
C.It is the most difficult mystery to solve. D.It is a matter that is of practical significance.
3.Where is this text most likely from
A.A diary. B.A geography book.
C.A novel. D.A magazine.

When Nora Keegan found her ears ringing after using a hand dryer and noticed other kids holding their ears at the sound of the machines, she decided to do some research. Nora, of Calgary, Canada, was 9 years old at the time. Nearly four years later, Nora's research on the topic has been published in a scientific journal. Nora began her science experiment in fifth grade by driving around with her parents, looking for hand dryers in public places that children frequent, like libraries and restaurants. The family bought a professional decibel meter for Nora's experiment and she also used a ruler and measuring tape to measure the hand dryers volume.
Over the course of two years, Nora measured the volume of 44 hand dryers. "I measured 18 inches from the wall, which is the industry standard, and I measured 12 inches from the wall since I thought kids would stand closer to the hand dryer because their arms are shorter, she said noting that she also measured at five different heights and both with and without hands in the airflow. "I found that hand dryers can actually be over 100 decibels, which children shouldn't be exposed to at all" Nora said. "I thought, this is crazy because hand dryers are such a common thing and shouldn't be hurting children's ears. I decided to do more research to back it up so I could have more data to prove it more." Nora not only kept collecting more data, but also started to come up with methods for reducing the volume of hand dryers in grades seven and eight.
As she prepares to enter ninth grade, Nora said she is not sure she will continue her hand dryer research, though she does plan to follow up on her findings with Canada's top health officials and the companies that made the hand dryers she tested. "I feel like if you see something that you question, you should keep going for it no matter what and try not to get discouraged because something amazing may come of it," Nora said.
1.What made Nora do the research
A.Her parents' advice B.Her wish to publish it in a journal
C.Her liking for young children D.Her own experience
2.Which of the following can best describe Nora
A.Caring and patient. B.Brave and creative.
C.Kind-hearted and easy-going. D.Strong-willed and hard-working.
3.What might be Nora's next plan
A.To go on with her research. B.To learn how to record data.
C.To help deal with the noise. D.To make public her findings.
4.What might be Nora's advice to other children
A.Think for yourself. B.Never give up.
C.Question everything. D.Be honest about how you feel.
C
There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, people, events and the resulting effects.
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well-prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, hurt many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy people would be more pitiful. The intention of criticising and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realise its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people hurt many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in a bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favour their hopes. If they bring public objections to themselves, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join in to criticise their wrongdoings. They should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.
1.What does the underlined phrase "sour the pleasure of society" most probably mean
A.Making others unhappy. B.Enjoying the pleasure of life.
C.Tending to please others openly. D.Having a good taste in social life.
2.What can we conclude from the text
A.We should pity all such unhappy people.
B.People can get rid of the habit of unhappiness.
C.Such unhappy people are dangerous to social life.
D.Unhappy people cannot understand happy persons.
3.What may the author suggest when unhappy people insist on keeping the habit
A.Showing no respect and politeness to them.
B.Preventing any communication with them.
C.Persuading them to recognise the bad effects.
D.Quarrelling with them until they realise the mistakes.
4.What is the purpose of the text
A.To describe two types of people in the world: happy and unhappy.
B.To laugh at unhappy people and let us avoid such kind of people.
C.To suggest unhappy people remove the habit of unhappiness.
D.To suggest people should fix their attention on happy things.
D
Does just thinking about stepping inside a gym make you feel exhausted If so, here's some good news. One of the world's largest studies on physical activity has found that doing household chores (家务活) can be just as effective as running or working out when it comes to cutting your risk of heart disease and extending your life.
A team of researchers discovered that people enjoyed the same health benefits whether they were going to the gym, walking to work or doing household chores. Indeed, performing 30 minutes of any kind of physical activity a day, five days a week, could reduce your risk of dying from any causes by 28% and your rate of heart disease by 20%. And, again, the positive effects were the same whether someone was working out, walking or doing chores such as mopping the floor or gardening.
"Walking for at least 30 minutes most days of the week has a massive benefit, and high levels of physical activity is associated with even lower risk of illness," the lead researcher Scott Lear said about the findings. "By including low and middle income countries in this study, we were able to determine the benefit of activities such as having an active job or even doing household chores," Lear said. He noted that 1 in 4 people worldwide do not get 30 minutes of exercise a day, five times a week.
Interestingly enough, the Canadian study found no ceiling(上限) on the benefits of exercise and "no risks associated with extremely high levels of physical activity", defined as more than 2,500 minutes, or more than 41 hours per week. Lear said that those who spent more than 750 minutes walking quickly each week lowered their risk of premature death by 36%.
1.What can we infer about the study from Paragraph 1
A.Women should do more housework than men.
B.Doing housework may help to live long and healthily.
C.People with heart disease had better do less housework.
D.Doing housework makes people feel less tired than going to the gym.
2.What does Scott Lear say about his findings on health
A.Sitting long will take health away.
B.Exercise will make life meaningful.
C.It's a good idea to walk less than 30 minutes a day.
D.High levels of physical activity can reduce disease risk.
3.What is the study in the passage mainly supported by
A.Statistics. B.Voices. C.Examples. D.Experiments.
4.Which is the best title for the text
A.Take Exercise for Better Strength and Balance
B.Risks of High Levels of Physical Activity
C.Doing Household Chores May Be a Secret to Living Longer
D.Two Factors that Determine the Benefits of Activities

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。
In 2000, when I was around seven years old, my parents, sister, brother, and I were coming back from a T-ball game. That was our usual weekend adventure, but unlike every other weekend, a surprise was waiting for us in our driveway. There, we spotted two adult geese and a baby goose. The adults were shocked by our return and flew away, but their baby was still too young to fly and couldn't follow. We are no strangers to the ways of wildlife, so we knew to avoid physical contact with the baby goose out of fear that it would imprint upon us and be lost to its family forever.
Hours passed and night fell. With it came a deep cold and a fear of watchful predators (捕食者).The tiny little thing was wandering around our yard, unaware of what could happen, and it was clear that the baby goose needed protection, warmth, and nutrients to make it to the morning. At that point. we knew we had to step in and brought him onto our back porch(门厅).
We all pretty much slept with one eye open till morning came. And then another morning. And still another. Each morning, we would try to send the goose over to his parents, who kept coming back to our yard. He wouldn't go to them, though, and they wouldn't come close enough to claim him. We kept this up for five days, but no luck. By then, the young goose had clearly decided we were his new family, so we had to give him a name-Peeper, because he would follow us around the yard making a peeping noise, nonstop.
Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months until almost a year passed. We settled into a routine filled with feathery hugs and friendship. Peeper slept on our back porch each night and my dad would clean the goose droppings in the morning. Part of the routine included dad throwing Peeper up into the air so he could fly a loop (圈)around the house, coming back again once the porch was clean.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

第二节
答案：years; had reached; which; largest; to; are called; and; to smoke; a; conveniently
解析：①句意为:近年来,中国已经建成了高速客运铁路网,并将继续扩大该网络。 in recent years 意为"近年来"。故填years。
②句意为:截至2018年年底,中国铁路总长已达到13.2万千米,其中高速铁路总长度为2.9万千米。根据 By the end of 2018 可知,动作发生在"过去的过去",应用过去完成时。故填 had reached。
③of ______ 29,000 kilometres were high-speed rail 是由"介词+关系代词"引导的定语从句,先行词是132,000 kilometres,指物,关系词只能用which。故填which。
④句意为:中国高铁总长度占世界高铁总长度的三分之二,这使中国的高铁系统成为世界上最大的高速铁路网。表示 "最大的",用形容词的最高级。故填largest。
⑤ be similar to为固定搭配,意为"与……相似"。故填to。
⑥句意为:最高时速250-350千米的高速列车被称CHR,即中国高速铁路。call是谓语动词,与主语 The fast trains 是被动关系,描述的是客观事实,用一般现在时的被动语态。故填 are called。
⑦句意为:如果你想在中国旅行,髙速列车将是你的理想选择,因为它们干净、舒适且现代化。clean, comfortable 和 modern 之间为并列关系。故填and。
⑧句意为:与中国过去的传统列车不同,在高速列车任何人都不允许吸烟,甚至在车厢之间也不允许。 allow sb to do sth意为"允许某人做某事",其被动结构为 sb be allowed to do sth。故填 to smoke。
⑨句意为:大多数高铁车票都有相应的座位,只有少数站票有时在有限的列车上出售。 a small number of 是固定短语,意为 "很少的"。故填a。
⑩句意为:中国高铁的票价是合理的,而且大多数线路的发车频率都很高,所以人们可以很方便地买票。该空修饰动词buy,应用副词。故填conveniently。

第二节
答案：
One evening, my dad threw Peeper up in the air as usual, but this time, Peeper just flew off. Everyone was very, very sad. It was dark, and we were worried. We looked for him for days, calling his name, but he didn't come back. We hoped he went off on his natural way. Again, days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months, then years. I missed Peeper. I would call for him every time I saw a group of geese fly by in V-formation. Eighteen years passed, and Peeper became a happy memory for my family.
It came as a total shock to me when, in 2019, an aging adult goose made his way back to my family home. At first, I thought it was just another goose. And yet, something about him seemed strangely familiar to me. The goose came back repeatedly. He did all of the same things Peeper used to, like trying to come in through the front door and sleeping in our back porch. Besides, this goose also responded to the name Peeper. Much to my surprise, my old best friend had returned, 18 years later.
