A 9-year-old girl from Maryland has made an important discovery: a 15 million-year-old megalodon (巨齿鲨) tooth.
Molly Sampson, along with her sister Natalie, 17, and her dad, Bruce Sampson, went out to hunt “treasure” in a bay near Calvert Cliffs on Christmas morning. At around 10:30, Molly saw her Christmas miracle: a 5-inch-long megalodon tooth. Her sister and father went over to see what Molly was so excited about. Bruce said he was shocked by his daughter’s “once-in-a-lifetime find.” “This is the kind of find every fossil hunter dreams of,” he said. They were amazed by the discovery.
“I was so excited because of the size and rarity of the find, and I kept thinking I was dreaming,” Molly said. “It was something I have always wanted to find, and I couldn’t believe it.” This is not the first time she’s found a megalodon tooth during her fossil hunts — but she’s never found one that large. “I have found five other megalodon teeth, but they are only an inch or two in size,” she said.
“Molly’s tooth would have come from a teenager shark between 45-50 feet long. The largest megalodons could have grown to be 65 feet long. Based on the tooth, the creature was about 15 million years old,” said Dr. Stephen Godfrey, a famous paleontologist (古生物学家).
Megalodons lived from about 25 million years ago to about 2.5 million years ago. They were one of the—if not the largest marine predators (海洋捕食性动物) the world has ever known. “They shaped the global marine ecosystem, and global marine food-webs,” said Godfrey.
Molly Sampson has been fossil hunting with her dad ever since she was little. “I will never stop!” she said. “When I grow up, I want to collect fossils and study them like a paleontologist.”
4. Which aspect of the shark tooth shocked Bruce
A. Its age. B. Its size. C. Its quality. D. Its owner.
5. What can we learn about Molly
A. She received a Christmas gift from his dad.
B. She disliked staying at home at Christmas.
C. She came across a teenager shark.
D. She has found at least 6 megalodon teeth.
6. What can we infer from Dr. Stephen Godfrey’s words
A. Megalodons shouldn’t be hunted.
B. The tooth belonged to the largest megalodon.
C. The tooth dates back to 25 million years ago.
D. Megalodons once played a critical role in the ocean.
7. What is the purpose of the text
A. To introduce megalodons to readers. B. To report a little girl’s unusual discovery.
C. To excite readers’ interest in fossil hunting. D. To promote the public’s awareness of animal protection.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. B

The topic “How much privacy can a photo show” has been trending on Sina Weibo, causing concern and heated discussion about privacy awareness.
In group chats, some people may post their original photos. But that may give away your home address and other information. Images often contain a lot of information and various traces left by digital cameras or photo processing software.
This data, called Exchangeable Image File Format (EXIF), is a key tool for many professionals. It can detail whether the photographer used a flash, which digital effects were applied to a picture and when the photo was taken. EXIF can also contain the precise GPS coordinates (坐标) of the location where a photo was taken, according to CNN.
If you take a landscape picture from your window and send the original picture to a group chat, it means that you are releasing your location data to all strangers in the group. They may even accurately infer your house number by analyzing the shooting time and angle.
Not just in a group chat, sending an image in a text message, email, or other delivery tools will also include the accompanying information. So how do we protect our privacy when sending photos
The most effective way is to avoid sending original photos in group chats. If it’s necessary, try not to tap the “original picture”. However, photos sent by WeChat Moments are automatically compressed (压缩) by the system, and they travel without location and other information, according to the WeChat team.
To tackle the problem at its root, we can delete and remove a picture’s EXIF data on a computer. If you are using an IOS smartphone, you can turn off location services for the camera in the privacy settings. If you’re using an Android, the settings vary. Typically, you can go to the setting menu and switch the services off for the camera, according to CTV News.
There is one more thing you can do — photoshop your photos before you share it. What comes with your edited images is photos without stored location data.
8. What information does EXIF data include
A. The home address of the viewers. B. A photo’s exact shooting time and location.
C. The location where the image is sent. D. How many times a photo has been shared.
9. When can our personal information be given away
A. When we post pictures on WeChat Moments.
B. When we send emojis in group chats.
C When we attach original photos to emails.
D. When we forward images of others on WeChat Moments.
10. How can we protect our privacy when sharing photos
A. Edit the photos with photo editing apps. B. Switch off location services for WeChat.
C. Send out their EXIF data on our phone. D. Turn off internet connection when taking photos.
11. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. Methods to get personal information from photos.
B. A tool that can obtain personal data of photos.
C. The importance of protecting our private pictures.
D. Avoiding giving away personal data through photo sharing.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章介绍在群聊时发送原图会泄露很多个人信息,并说明了如何在发送照片时保护隐私。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“It can detail whether the photographer used a flash, which digital effects were applied to a picture and when the photo was taken. EXIF can also contain the precise GPS coordinates(坐标) of the location where a photo was taken, according to CNN.(它可以详细描述摄影师是否使用闪光灯、照片使用了哪些数码效果以及照片是何时拍摄的。据美国有线电视新闻网报道,EXIF还可以包含照片拍摄地点的精确GPS坐标)”可知,EXIF数据包含照片拍摄时间和位置。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“Not just in a group chat, sending an image in a text message, email, or other delivery tools will also include the accompanying information.(不只是在群聊中,通过文本消息、电子邮件或其他交付工具发送图像也会包含相应的信息)”可知,在邮件中附上原始照片时会泄露个人信息。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“There is one more thing you can do — photoshop your photos before you share it. What comes with your edited images is photos without stored location data.(在你分享照片之前,还有一件事你可以做——修改你的照片。编辑过的照片没有存储位置数据)”可知,可以通过照片编辑应用程序将照片编辑后再分享,这样可以保护隐私。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章内容,结合第五段最后一句“So how do we protect our privacy when sending photos (那么,在发送照片时,我们如何保护自己的隐私呢?)”可知,文章介绍在群聊时发送原图会泄露很多个人信息,并说明了如何在发送照片时保护隐私。D项“避免通过照片分享而泄露个人数据”能够总结文章大意,故选D项。

From the moon to Mars, scientists have been looking for water —the key to life —in the solar system for decades. Recently, they have turned to Jupiter (木星)!
On April 14, the European Space Agency’s (ESA) JUICE spacecraft successfully lifted off from French Guiana in South America. JUICE, short for “Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer”, will collect data from Jupiter and its three moons, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto.
The three moons are believed to have big oceans of liquid water under their icy shells. According to ESA, the water on these moons could be as much as six times the amount in Earth’s oceans. The mission “will change our understanding of the solar system”, wrote Scientific American.
In 1998, NASA’s Galileo spacecraft found that Europa might send water as far as 160 kilometers into space. That gave scientists the idea of studying the icy moons of Jupiter.
The oceans under these moons are likely to be tens of kilometers deep. But they are also trapped under tens of kilometers of ice, making it very difficult to study them. Although JUICE cannot land on the surface, it has lots of high-tech equipment to study the moon’s environment, including spectral imaging (光谱成像) tools and radar. They could give more data on things like the thickness of the oceans, their salt content, and their distance from the icy shells above, reported Phys.org.
“The main goal is to understand whether there are habitable (可居住的) environments among those icy moons and around a giant planet like Jupiter,” JUICE team member Olivier Witasse said during a press conference on April 6.
12. What do we know about JUICE
A. It left for Jupiter from the US. B. It got its name from how it looks.
C. It will become one of Jupiter’s moons. D. It will collect data from Jupiter and its moons.
13. The water on Europa might ________.
A. cover a small part of its surface
B. all come from its icy shell
C. have been thrown into space
D. be as much as six times the amount in Earth’s oceans
14. Which of the following words can replace the word “trapped” in paragraph 5
A. wandered B. wept C. kept D. declined
15. The JUICE spacecraft was launched mainly to ________.
A. find a possible way to solve the water shortage on Earth
B. find out if it is possible for life to live on Jupiter’s moons
C. explore if Jupiter has living things similar to human beings
D. test ways of keeping water on Europa, Ganymede and Callisto
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了JUICE宇宙飞船对木星极其卫星的探测成果等。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“JUICE, short for “Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer”, will collect data from Jupiter and its three moons, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto.(JUICE是“Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer”的缩写,它将收集木星及其三颗卫星——木卫二、木卫三和木卫四的数据。)”可知,JUICE将收集木星以及木卫二、木卫三、木卫四的数据。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“In 1998, NASA’s Galileo spacecraft found that Europa might send water as far as 160 kilometers into space.(1998年,美国宇航局的伽利略号宇宙飞船发现木卫二可能会将水送到160公里外的太空。)”可知,美国宇航局的伽利略号宇宙飞船发现木卫二可能会将水送到160公里外的太空。故选C项。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第五段“But they are also trapped under tens of kilometers of ice, making it very difficult to study them.(但它们也trap数十公里的冰层下,这使得研究它们变得非常困难。)”可知,木卫二的液态水被trap在数十公里的冰层下,说明很难取到。trap作为动词,有“围困、困住”之意。A. wandered游荡、漫步;B. wept哭泣;C. kept保持、维持、处于;D. declined下降。四个选项中,只有kept含义与trapped相近。故选C项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“The main goal is to understand whether there are habitable (可居住的) environments among those icy moons and around a giant planet like Jupiter(主要目标是了解在这些冰冷的卫星和像木星这样的巨行星周围是否存在适合居住的环境。)”可知,JUICE飞船的目的是了解像木星这样的巨行星周围是否存在适合居住的环境。故选B项。

The truth is that it’s extremely difficult to follow a healthy diet when you’re eating regularly at fast food restaurants. Fast food is typically loaded with calories, sodium, and unhealthy fat — often enough in one meal for an entire day. ____16____
That doesn’t mean you have to avoid fast food entirely. When you’re hungry and on the run, fast food can really hit the spot. ____17____ But while it’s okay to eat fast food every now and then, to stay healthy you can’t make it a regular habit. The key is moderation — both in how often you go to fast food chains and what you order once you’re there.
Fast food menus are tricky when you’re watching your weight or your health. Finding a healthy, well-balanced meal in most fast food restaurants is a challenge. ____18____ The following tips and menu recommendations can help you stay on track.
Aim to keep your entire meal to 500 calories or less. The average adult eats 836 calories per fast food meal and underestimates the amount of what they eat. So don’t guess! ____19____ Take advantage of this information.
Choose foods that are lower in fat and higher in protein and fiber. Look for items with more good stuff, like fiber, whole grains, and high-quality protein. Also aim for items that are relatively low in saturated fats.
____20____ Even when you order wisely, it can be pretty tough to get enough fiber and other important vitamins and nutrients from a fast food menu. If you plan ahead, you can bring healthy food like dried fruit, nuts and seeds, apple or pear slices, and cheese or yogurt.
A. It’s cheap, tasty, and best of all, convenient.
B. As is known to all, fast food is really popular.
C. Bring your own add-on items if you really want a healthy diet.
D. But there are always choices you can make that are healthier than others.
E. Most fast food chains post nutritional information both on websites and at the restaurants.
F. It also tends to be low in nutrients and almost totally lacking in fruit, vegetables, and fiber.
G. Making healthier fast food choices is easy if you plan ahead by checking the nutritional guides.
【答案】16. F 17. A 18. D 19. E 20. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章就吃快餐时怎么注意营养均衡而给了一些建议。
【16题详解】
由上文“Fast food is typically loaded with calories, sodium, and unhealthy fat — often enough in one meal for an entire day.(快餐通常富含热量、钠和不健康的脂肪——通常一顿饭就足够吃一整天。)”可知,这里主要讲快餐食物的缺点,而F项It also tends to be low in nutrients and almost totally lacking in fruit, vegetables, and fiber.(它也往往缺乏营养,几乎完全缺乏水果、蔬菜和纤维。)符合语境,其中it与上文Fast food对应,also也说明这句和上句是并列关系,例举快餐的缺点。故选F项。
【17题详解】
由上文“That doesn’t mean you have to avoid fast food entirely. When you’re hungry and on the run, fast food can really hit the spot. (这并不意味着你必须完全避免吃快餐。当你饿了且赶时间的时候,快餐真的能切中要害。)”可知,作者建议我们有时还是可以吃快餐的,而A项It’s cheap, tasty, and best of all, convenient.(它便宜,美味,最重要的是,方便。)符合语境,其中convenient和上文When you’re hungry and on the run情况对应,且It也和上文 fast food 对应。故选A项。
【18题详解】
由上文“Finding a healthy, well-balanced meal in most fast food restaurants is a challenge.(在大多数快餐店找到一顿健康、均衡的饭菜是一项挑战。)”以及下文“The following tips and menu recommendations can help you stay on track.(以下提示和菜单建议可以帮助您保持正轨。)”可知,这里在介绍怎么在快餐店找到健康的食谱。而D项But there are always choices you can make that are healthier than others.(但总有一些选择是你可以做出的,比其他选择更健康。)符合语境,有启下作用,其中 choices 与下文The following tips 对应。故选D项。
【19题详解】
由下文“Take advantage of this information.(利用这些信息。)”可知,空处应该在介绍一些信息,而E项Most fast food chains post nutritional information both on websites and at the restaurants.(大多数快餐连锁店都在网站和餐馆发布营养信息。)符合语境,其中nutritional information和 this information对应。故选E项。
【20题详解】
由下文“Even when you order wisely, it can be pretty tough to get enough fiber and other important vitamins and nutrients from a fast food menu. If you plan ahead, you can bring healthy food like dried fruit, nuts and seeds, apple or pear slices, and cheese or yogurt.(即使你点得很明智,也很难从快餐菜单中获得足够的纤维和其他重要的维生素和营养素。如果你提前计划,你可以带上健康的食物,比如干果、坚果和种子、苹果片或梨片、奶酪或酸奶。)”可知,作者这里建议顾客吃快餐时自己带一些健康食品。而C项Bring your own add-on items if you really want a healthy diet.(如果你真的想要健康的饮食,带上你自己的附加物品。)符合语境,对下文有总结作用,其中 your own add-on items 和后文healthy food like dried fruit, nuts and seeds, apple or pear slices, and cheese or yogurt对应。故选C项。

【解析】
【分析】本文为说明文。文章主要介绍了中国首趟“熊猫列车”的相关情况。
【36题详解】
考查时态。句意:上周日晚,中国首列以熊猫为主题的旅游专列从四川省会成都火车站开往邻近的贵州省遵义。根据时间状语“last Sunday night”可知描述发生在过去的事情,用一般过去时,所以填left。
【37题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:上周日晚,中国首列以熊猫为主题的旅游专列从四川省会成都火车站开往邻近的贵州省遵义。leave(sp.)for sp.为固定搭配,“动身出发去某地”,所以填for。
【38题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:与普通列车相比,该列车内外都装饰有大熊猫图案。描述一个客观的事实,用一般现在时;“the train”和“decorate”之间是被动关系,用被动语态;train 为单数, 谓语用单数,所以填is decorated。
【39题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:乘务员携带着熊猫玩具,乘客们甚至可以品尝熊猫形状的食物。toy 为可数名词,且前面无冠词,根据句意,应用复数,所以填toys。
【40题详解】
考查不定式。句意:为满足个性化需求,专列还提供定制服务,包括下午茶、主题歌会、鸡尾酒会等。分析句子结构,____5____( meet) individualized demand为目的状语,用不定式,置于句首首字母大写。所以填To meet。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:其中,麻将室可能是对四川旅客最大的吸引力,四川人对麻将的喜爱是出了名的。该句为定语从句,指“四川人以热爱这种活动出名”,修饰先行词Sichuan,关系词在从句中作定语,用whose引导该从句;指“在四川人们热爱这种活动”,修饰先行词Sichuan,关系词在从句中作地点状语,用关系副词where引导该从句,所以填whose/where。
【42题详解】
考查副词比较级。句意:事实上,根据搜狐二十年前所做的一项在线调查,成都对麻将的热爱比其他景点更出名。 根据后文的 than,可知该句应该用 good 的副词形式 well 的比较级,所以填better。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:事实上,根据搜狐二十年前所做的一项在线调查,成都对麻将的热爱比其他景点更出名。 conduct 修饰名词 survey,并与之构成动宾关系,用过去分词作后置定语,所以填conducted。
【44题详解】
考查形式主语。句意:周三,钟军在该列车的试运行中表示:“因此,乘客在从成都出发的列车上打麻将就不足为奇了。” 分析句子结构,主语从句“that passengers will be able to play mahjong on a train leaving from Chengdu”是真正的主语置于句末,前面需要使用形式主语,所以填it。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意:车站的一名官员表示,如果列车成功的话,它可能会前往中国的其他地方。success 在此处是可数名词,表示“成功的人或事”,抽象名词具体化,且success是以辅音音素开头的词,所以填a。

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。
Everyone’s first job is special because you gain useful experience that you can use in other positions in future. It also teaches you about the value of money.
When I was about sixteen years old, I wanted to buy albums of my favourite band, but I did not have any money. This was because the money my parents gave me was just enough to get by. I had to find a part-time job in order to purchase the music I wanted.
Luckily, I found that there were many old people who needed help in my neighbourhood. And I chose the oldest person I knew, Mrs. Hudson, who was over eighty years old, and could not tend her garden anymore. She had flowers, a grass lawn, and some tomato plants. I knocked on her door, trying to build up enough courage to ask her for work. She answered that indeed she needed help in her garden.
My first job was to pull out weeds. I got down on my knees and began to pull them out one by one in her front yard and backyard. Finishing this tiring and boring task, I mowed her lawn front and back. That was the first day of my job, and it took me about two hours. After that, I was paid ten dollars for my work. It was less than I thought, but at least I had earned my first money.
After getting that ten dollars, I intended to go to the supermarket to buy my favourite album. I chose a nice morning to do it because I knew it would be a memorable moment when I was able to buy what I liked through my efforts. But on the way to supermarket, I happened to see my mom “working” on the opposite side of the road. Actually, I had never seen how she worked before, I just knew she was a saleswoman.

Then I continued making my way to the supermarket and suddenly a good idea occurred to me.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Under the burning sun, my mom was distributing leaflets (分发传单) to passers-by, sweating all over. Once a man or woman passed by, my mom would give a piece of paper to him or her. Someone refused by slightly waving his hand and someone just ignored her without looking at her. Of course, there was someone who accepted the paper from my mom but would then throw it into a garbage can not far away. Seeing the scene, I couldn’t help but feel guilty. Tears welling up in my eyes, I murmured, “It’s so hard for mom to earn money.”
Then I continued making my way to the supermarket, and suddenly a good idea occurred to me. I bought a portable electric fan for mom instead of an album for myself. After that, I returned to the place where my mom worked. She mistook me for a passer-by and gave me a piece of paper. I took it and gave her the electric fan. Surprised to find out it was me, she mildly scolded me for my wasting money. I told her I bought it with the money I earned. She accepted it with a big smile on her face. It was then that I came to understand the value of money.

A 9-year-old girl from Maryland has made an important discovery: a 15 million-year-old megalodon (巨齿鲨) tooth.
Molly Sampson, along with her sister Natalie, 17, and her dad, Bruce Sampson, went out to hunt “treasure” in a bay near Calvert Cliffs on Christmas morning. At around 10:30, Molly saw her Christmas miracle: a 5-inch-long megalodon tooth. Her sister and father went over to see what Molly was so excited about. Bruce said he was shocked by his daughter’s “once-in-a-lifetime find.” “This is the kind of find every fossil hunter dreams of,” he said. They were amazed by the discovery.
“I was so excited because of the size and rarity of the find, and I kept thinking I was dreaming,” Molly said. “It was something I have always wanted to find, and I couldn’t believe it.” This is not the first time she’s found a megalodon tooth during her fossil hunts — but she’s never found one that large. “I have found five other megalodon teeth, but they are only an inch or two in size,” she said.
“Molly’s tooth would have come from a teenager shark between 45-50 feet long. The largest megalodons could have grown to be 65 feet long. Based on the tooth, the creature was about 15 million years old,” said Dr. Stephen Godfrey, a famous paleontologist (古生物学家).
Megalodons lived from about 25 million years ago to about 2.5 million years ago. They were one of the—if not the largest marine predators (海洋捕食性动物) the world has ever known. “They shaped the global marine ecosystem, and global marine food-webs,” said Godfrey.
Molly Sampson has been fossil hunting with her dad ever since she was little. “I will never stop!” she said. “When I grow up, I want to collect fossils and study them like a paleontologist.”
4. Which aspect of the shark tooth shocked Bruce
A. Its age. B. Its size. C. Its quality. D. Its owner.
5. What can we learn about Molly
A. She received a Christmas gift from his dad.
B. She disliked staying at home at Christmas.
C. She came across a teenager shark.
D. She has found at least 6 megalodon teeth.
6. What can we infer from Dr. Stephen Godfrey’s words
A. Megalodons shouldn’t be hunted.
B. The tooth belonged to the largest megalodon.
C. The tooth dates back to 25 million years ago.
D. Megalodons once played a critical role in the ocean.
7. What is the purpose of the text
A. To introduce megalodons to readers. B. To report a little girl’s unusual discovery.
C. To excite readers’ interest in fossil hunting. D. To promote the public’s awareness of animal protection.
C
The topic “How much privacy can a photo show” has been trending on Sina Weibo, causing concern and heated discussion about privacy awareness.
In group chats, some people may post their original photos. But that may give away your home address and other information. Images often contain a lot of information and various traces left by digital cameras or photo processing software.
This data, called Exchangeable Image File Format (EXIF), is a key tool for many professionals. It can detail whether the photographer used a flash, which digital effects were applied to a picture and when the photo was taken. EXIF can also contain the precise GPS coordinates (坐标) of the location where a photo was taken, according to CNN.
If you take a landscape picture from your window and send the original picture to a group chat, it means that you are releasing your location data to all strangers in the group. They may even accurately infer your house number by analyzing the shooting time and angle.
Not just in a group chat, sending an image in a text message, email, or other delivery tools will also include the accompanying information. So how do we protect our privacy when sending photos
The most effective way is to avoid sending original photos in group chats. If it’s necessary, try not to tap the “original picture”. However, photos sent by WeChat Moments are automatically compressed (压缩) by the system, and they travel without location and other information, according to the WeChat team.
To tackle the problem at its root, we can delete and remove a picture’s EXIF data on a computer. If you are using an IOS smartphone, you can turn off location services for the camera in the privacy settings. If you’re using an Android, the settings vary. Typically, you can go to the setting menu and switch the services off for the camera, according to CTV News.
There is one more thing you can do — photoshop your photos before you share it. What comes with your edited images is photos without stored location data.
8. What information does EXIF data include
A. The home address of the viewers. B. A photo’s exact shooting time and location.
C. The location where the image is sent. D. How many times a photo has been shared.
9. When can our personal information be given away
A. When we post pictures on WeChat Moments.
B. When we send emojis in group chats.
C. When we attach original photos to emails.
D. When we forward images of others on WeChat Moments.
10. How can we protect our privacy when sharing photos
A. Edit the photos with photo editing apps. B. Switch off location services for WeChat.
C. Send out their EXIF data on our phone. D. Turn off internet connection when taking photos.
11. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. Methods to get personal information from photos.
B. A tool that can obtain personal data of photos.
C. The importance of protecting our private pictures.
D. Avoiding giving away personal data through photo sharing.

From the moon to Mars, scientists have been looking for water —the key to life —in the solar system for decades. Recently, they have turned to Jupiter (木星)!
On April 14, the European Space Agency’s (ESA) JUICE spacecraft successfully lifted off from French Guiana in South America. JUICE, short for “Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer”, will collect data from Jupiter and its three moons, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto.
The three moons are believed to have big oceans of liquid water under their icy shells. According to ESA, the water on these moons could be as much as six times the amount in Earth’s oceans. The mission “will change our understanding of the solar system”, wrote Scientific American.
In 1998, NASA’s Galileo spacecraft found that Europa might send water as far as 160 kilometers into space. That gave scientists the idea of studying the icy moons of Jupiter.
The oceans under these moons are likely to be tens of kilometers deep. But they are also trapped under tens of kilometers of ice, making it very difficult to study them. Although JUICE cannot land on the surface, it has lots of high-tech equipment to study the moon’s environment, including spectral imaging (光谱成像) tools and radar. They could give more data on things like the thickness of the oceans, their salt content, and their distance from the icy shells above, reported Phys.org.

That doesn’t mean you have to avoid fast food entirely. When you’re hungry and on the run, fast food can really hit the spot. ____17____ But while it’s okay to eat fast food every now and then, to stay healthy you can’t make it a regular habit.

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。
Everyone’s first job is special, because you gain useful experience that you can use in other positions in future. It also teaches you about the value of money.
When I was about sixteen years old, I wanted to buy albums of my favourite band, but I did not have any money. This was because the money my parents gave me was just enough to get by. I had to find a part-time job in order to purchase the music I wanted.
Luckily, I found that there were many old people who needed help in my neighbourhood. And I chose the oldest person I knew, Mrs. Hudson, who was over eighty years old, and could not tend her garden anymore. She had flowers, a grass lawn, and some tomato plants. I knocked on her door, trying to build up enough courage to ask her for work. She answered that indeed she needed help in her garden.
My first job was to pull out weeds. I got down on my knees and began to pull them out one by one in her front yard and backyard. Finishing this tiring and boring task, I mowed her lawn front and back. That was the first day of my job, and it took me about two hours. After that, I was paid ten dollars for my work. It was less than I thought, but at least I had earned my first money.
After getting that ten dollars, I intended to go to the supermarket to buy my favourite album. I chose a nice morning to do it because I knew it would be a memorable moment when I was able to buy what I liked through my efforts. But on the way to supermarket, I happened to see my mom “working” on the opposite side of the road. Actually, I had never seen how she worked before, I just knew she was a saleswoman.
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。
Under the burning sun, my mom was distributing leaflets (分发传单) to passers-by, sweating all over.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Then I continued making my way to the supermarket, and suddenly a good idea occurred to me.
