At 19, determined not to spend my gap year stuck at home, I took off with a friend and we traveled around Europe for months. We stayed in the cheapest accommodation and lived on bread and cheese.
This was 1990, a time before mobile phones and the Internet, when the primary contact with home was mails from the post office. Before I left, Mom had made me a money bag and a sleeping sheet to avoid unclean bedding. She didn’t want me to go, and these gifts were her way of telling me to have a wonderful time.
It’s only now, as my 18-year-old daughter is preparing to leave on her own gap year trip, that I understand how Mom felt.
While working multiple jobs and saving money, my daughter has also researched where to stay, how to get around and what to do before setting off. She rarely asks for my opinion and I am unsure whether I should wade in (介入) or back off. I want to be supportive but not too involved. I want to be cool but not aloof (漠不关心的) . I want to be like the perfect travel guide.
After all, when she first mentioned gap year travel, I was encouraging, wanting her to have her own experiences that shape her. Though I’m not quite ready, this trip is about her. This is not 1990 and I am not stuck at home waiting for a letter. Therefore, I haven’t concentrated too long on the idea of her not being here. I have promised not to bother her with messages, but at least I know she can contact me when she wants to.
4 What do we know about the author’s travel in 1990
A. She traveled around Europe alone. B. She probably contacted home by letter.
C She worked multiple jobs while traveling. D. She booked her accommodations online.
5. What bothered the author about her daughter’s upcoming trip
A. She was worried about the cost of the trip.
B. She had little knowledge about the destination.
C. She was unsure of how involved she should be.
D. She doubted her daughter’s ability to look after herself.
6. What did the author finally decide to do
A. Tum a blind eye to her daughter. B. Take charge of her daughter’s trip.
C. Contact her daughter as often as possible. D. Stay connected but not disturb too much.
7. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text
A. To analyse parent-child relationship.
B. To suggest how to plan a gap year trip.
C. To compare different gap year travel experiences.
D. To share mixed feelings about her daughter’s trip.
C
If there’s such a person as a young STEM icon, Gitanjali Rao is the one.
In April 2014, the city of Flint disconnected from Detroit’s water line as a cost-cutting measure and began to draw water from the Flint River. Soon after, shockingly high levels of lead (铅) were found in the city’s water supply. Residents including children were showing up with mysterious rashes and other illnesses.
When she learned about the crisis, Gitanjali decided to do something. “I was shocked and I wanted to do something to change this,” she said. Inspiration really struck her after she watched her engineer parents test for lead in the tap water. She decided to build a lead-detecting device that would be easy and affordable for anyone to use. In 2017, she developed a device called Tethys. It won her the title “America’s Top Young Scientist” in the 3M Young Scientist Challenge. Meanwhile, Rao had been working on solutions to other issues she cared about. She started developing Epione, a device that tests protein in body fluid samples to detect opioid (阿片类药物) use disorder, in 2018.
“Many people need opioids and end up with serious addictions” she said. “Physicians don’t have any easy tools to detect opioid addiction at an early stage.”
Additionally, Rao launched an Al-based, anti-cyberbullying app called Kindly in May 2020. “You type in a sentence, and it’s able to pick a word or phrase out if it’s bullying, and it gives you the option to edit it,” said Rao. “As a teenager, I know teenagers tend to lash out sometimes, though unintentionally. The app gives you the chance to stop and think about your words before you hit ‘Send’.”
8. Why did Flint stop drawing water from Detroit
A. Flint wanted to save some money.
B. Flint aimed to develop its local economy.
C. The residents worried about water safety.
D. The public forced Flint to change its water supply.
9. What made Gitanjali want to do something for Flint’s water crisis
A. Her STEM course’s requirement. B. Her wish to inspire others.
C. Her pity for Flint’s residents. D. Her determination to help her parents.
10. Which of the following best explains “lash out” in Paragraph 5
A. To adopt new ideas. B. To make verbal attack.
C. To exchange opinions. D. To show off their abilities.
11. How would you describe Gitanjali
A. Smart and caring. B. Innovative and gentle.
C. Creative and honest. D. Helpful and grateful.
D
After nearly 70 years of space exploration, Earth is now surrounded by space junk. Recently, an accident made the cleanup more difficult to start.
According to the European Space Agency (ESA) , scientists plan on testing their “junk truck”, ClearSpace-1, in 2025. It’s a spacecraft with four arms that can catch debris (碎片) and bring it back to Earth. They have chosen to bring back VESPA, a 113-kilogram, two-meter-wide rocket part. However, in August, it was hit by another piece of space junk, creating new pieces. The ESA is now revising its cleanup plan.
Most satellites today are sent into Earth’s low orbit, which reaches up to around 2, 000 kilometers above the Earth. There, spacecraft are most likely to crash with each other. There may be as many as 170 million pieces of space junk in orbit. Big or small, any of the pieces can cause harm to a spacecraft.
In terms of the cleanup scientists have some other ideas. One popular plan is to equip a spacecraft with harpoons (叉) and magnets (磁铁) . The craft would shoot the harpoon to stick into the debris before “throwing” it back to Earth. Magnets could move the debris, changing its direction. The debris would burn after entering Earth’s atmosphere so there wouldn’t be much left when it reaches Earth. Scientists are also considering shooting lasers (激光) from spacecraft to heat up the debris’ surface, creating a small push that would change the debris’ orbit. This change would allow the debris to be caught by Earth’s gravity.
Space junk can be very dangerous, and space agencies around the world are testing and planning the cleanup. But why haven’t they done anything yet One reason is the expense.
It would take between $4, 000 and $60, 000 per kilogram to catch one piece of debris larger than 10 cm. And around $300 million is needed to develop the laser technology.
12. What’s the mission of ClearSpace-1
A. To mark Earth’s low orbit. B. To monitor space debris.
C. To study the harm of space junk. D. To bring VESPA back to Earth.
13. How do lasers work in cleaning up space debris
A. By burning it up in space. B. By pushing it into deeper space.
C. By moving it towards a spacecraft. D. By redirecting it into the atmosphere.
14. What’s a disadvantage of the cleanup according to the last two paragraphs
A. It’s complex. B. It’s risky. C. It’s costly. D. It’s changeable.
15. What might be a suitable title
A. Escaping from Crowded Space B. Looking for Ways to Clean up Space
C. Dangerous Space Debris D. Exceptional Space Exploration

Repeat the process until all the cards are in Pile 1. Finally reexamine the whole pile again to make sure you’ve memorized the information on all the cards.
___20___
Teaching others is a great way to consolidate (巩固) what you’ve learned. Find a study partner, or even just a stuffed animal, and explain the material to them. The act of teaching requires you to re-frame the information and explain it clearly, which helps you keep it in your mind more easily.
A. Instruct someone else
B. Teach the material to yourself

Mr Jackson was a well-respected teacher in their small town. He had always paid much attention to his students, especially the ones who needed help. When he noticed that one of his students, Emily, was not getting on the school bus with all the other children and that her exam results had dropped a bit, he became worried.
One day, he decided to follow her and was surprised when he saw her walking towards an old factory building. He parked his car a few blocks away from the factory and waited for Emily to enter. After a few minutes, he carefully moved toward the building, his heart racing with each step.
As he entered the dark and dirty inside of the building his mind was flooded with a sense of pity. Then he saw Emily sitting on the floor, surrounded(包围) by her textbooks and notebooks.
“Emily, what are you doing here ” Mr Jackson asked, surprised.
Emily looked up and was surprised to see her teacher. She said, “Oh, Mr Jackson! I came here to do my homework. It’s quiet here, and I feel safe.”
“Why don’t you go home ” he asked, his concern(担忧) growing.
“I live with my mother. Recently, my mother lost her job and we haven’t found a house yet,” she replied. “And my father used to work here, so it’s a familiar place to me.”
Mr Jackson was heartbroken to hear this. He knew he had to do something to help Emily. He sat down beside Emily and asked her to tell him everything that was going on.
Emily shared stories about her father, who had passed away a few years before. She talked about how her mother had struggled(努力) to make ends meet.
Mr Jackson listened carefully. The more he knew about Emily, the more he realized that being a teacher was not only about teaching subjects, it was also about shaping young minds and making a difference to their lives. He decided to take action.

The next day, Mr Jackson went to see Emily’s mother.

At 19, determined not to spend my gap year stuck at home, I took off with a friend and we traveled around Europe for months. We stayed in the cheapest accommodation and lived on bread and cheese.
This was 1990, a time before mobile phones and the Internet, when the primary contact with home was mails from the post office. Before I left, Mom had made me a money bag and a sleeping sheet to avoid unclean bedding. She didn’t want me to go, and these gifts were her way of telling me to have a wonderful time.
It’s only now, as my 18-year-old daughter is preparing to leave on her own gap year trip, that I understand how Mom felt.
While working multiple jobs and saving money, my daughter has also researched where to stay, how to get around and what to do before setting off. She rarely asks for my opinion and I am unsure whether I should wade in (介入) or back off. I want to be supportive but not too involved. I want to be cool but not aloof (漠不关心的) . I want to be like the perfect travel guide.
After all, when she first mentioned gap year travel, I was encouraging, wanting her to have her own experiences that shape her. Though I’m not quite ready, this trip is about her. This is not 1990 and I am not stuck at home waiting for a letter. Therefore, I haven’t concentrated too long on the idea of her not being here. I have promised not to bother her with messages, but at least I know she can contact me when she wants to.
4. What do we know about the author’s travel in 1990
A. She traveled around Europe alone. B. She probably contacted home by letter.
C. She worked multiple jobs while traveling. D. She booked her accommodations online.
5. What bothered the author about her daughter’s upcoming trip
A. She was worried about the cost of the trip.
B. She had little knowledge about the destination.
C She was unsure of how involved she should be.
D. She doubted her daughter’s ability to look after herself.
6. What did the author finally decide to do
A. Tum a blind eye to her daughter. B. Take charge of her daughter’s trip.
C. Contact her daughter as often as possible. D. Stay connected but not disturb too much.
7. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text
A. To analyse parent-child relationship.

If there’s such a person as a young STEM icon, Gitanjali Rao is the one.
In April 2014, the city of Flint disconnected from Detroit’s water line as a cost-cutting measure and began to draw water from the Flint River. Soon after, shockingly high levels of lead (铅) were found in the city’s water supply. Residents including children were showing up with mysterious rashes and other illnesses.
When she learned about the crisis, Gitanjali decided to do something. “I was shocked and I wanted to do something to change this,” she said. Inspiration really struck her after she watched her engineer parents test for lead in the tap water. She decided to build a lead-detecting device that would be easy and affordable for anyone to use. In 2017, she developed a device called Tethys. It won her the title “America’s Top Young Scientist” in the 3M Young Scientist Challenge. Meanwhile, Rao had been working on solutions to other issues she cared about. She started developing Epione, a device that tests protein in body fluid samples to detect opioid (阿片类药物) use disorder, in 2018.
“Many people need opioids and end up with serious addictions,” she said. “Physicians don’t have any easy tools to detect opioid addiction at an early stage.”
Additionally, Rao launched an Al-based, anti-cyberbullying app called Kindly in May 2020. “You type in a sentence, and it’s able to pick a word or phrase out if it’s bullying, and it gives you the option to edit it,” said Rao. “As a teenager, I know teenagers tend to lash out sometimes, though unintentionally. The app gives you the chance to stop and think about your words before you hit ‘Send’.”
8. Why did Flint stop drawing water from Detroit
A. Flint wanted to save some money.
B. Flint aimed to develop its local economy.
C. The residents worried about water safety.
D. The public forced Flint to change its water supply.
9. What made Gitanjali want to do something for Flint’s water crisis
A. Her STEM course’s requirement. B. Her wish to inspire others.
C. Her pity for Flint’s residents. D. Her determination to help her parents.
10. Which of the following best explains “lash out” in Paragraph 5
A. To adopt new ideas. B. To make verbal attack.
C. To exchange opinions. D. To show off their abilities.
11. How would you describe Gitanjali

After nearly 70 years of space exploration, Earth is now surrounded by space junk. Recently, an accident made the cleanup more difficult to start.
According to the European Space Agency (ESA) , scientists plan on testing their “junk truck”, ClearSpace-1, in 2025. It’s a spacecraft with four arms that can catch debris (碎片) and bring it back to Earth. They have chosen to bring back VESPA, a 113-kilogram, two-meter-wide rocket part. However, in August, it was hit by another piece of space junk, creating new pieces. The ESA is now revising its cleanup plan.
Most satellites today are sent into Earth’s low orbit, which reaches up to around 2, 000 kilometers above the Earth. There, spacecraft are most likely to crash with each other. There may be as many as 170 million pieces of space junk in orbit. Big or small, any of the pieces can cause harm to a spacecraft.
In terms of the cleanup, scientists have some other ideas. One popular plan is to equip a spacecraft with harpoons (叉) and magnets (磁铁) . The craft would shoot the harpoon to stick into the debris before “throwing” it back to Earth. Magnets could move the debris, changing its direction. The debris would burn after entering Earth’s atmosphere so there wouldn’t be much left when it reaches Earth. Scientists are also considering shooting lasers (激光) from spacecraft to heat up the debris’ surface, creating a small push that would change the debris’ orbit. This change would allow the debris to be caught by Earth’s gravity.
Space junk can be very dangerous, and space agencies around the world are testing and planning the cleanup. But why haven’t they done anything yet One reason is the expense.
It would take between $4, 000 and $60, 000 per kilogram to catch one piece of debris larger than 10 cm. And around $300 million is needed to develop the laser technology.
12. What’s the mission of ClearSpace-1
A. To mark Earth’s low orbit. B. To monitor space debris.
C. To study the harm of space junk. D. To bring VESPA back to Earth.
13. How do lasers work in cleaning up space debris
A. By burning it up in space. B. By pushing it into deeper space.
C. By moving it towards a spacecraft. D. By redirecting it into the atmosphere.
14. What’s a disadvantage of the cleanup according to the last two paragraphs
A. It’s complex. B. It’s risky. C. It’s costly. D. It’s changeable.
15. What might be a suitable title
A. Escaping from Crowded Space B. Looking for Ways to Clean up Space
C. Dangerous Space Debris D. Exceptional Space Exploration
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了经过近70年的太空探索，地球现在被太空垃圾包围，欧洲航天局为了带回太空垃圾碎片VESPA准备发射ClearSpace-1，它是一艘带有四只机械臂的航天器，可以捕捉太空垃圾并将其带回地球。然而最近发生的一起事故使得清理工作变得更加困难。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“According to the European Space Agency (ESA) , scientists plan on testing their “junk truck”, ClearSpace-1, in 2025. It’s a spacecraft with four arms that can catch debris (碎片) and bring it back to Earth. They have chosen to bring back VESPA, a 113-kilogram, two-meter-wide rocket part. (据欧洲航天局称，科学家计划在2025年测试他们的“垃圾卡车”ClearSpace-1。它是一种有四个臂的航天器，可以捕捉碎片并将其带回地球。他们选择带回VESPA，一个113公斤，两米宽的火箭部件。)”可知，ClearSpace-1的任务是把VESPA带回地球，故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段中“Scientists are also considering shooting lasers (激光) from spacecraft to heat up the debris’ surface, creating a small push that would change the debris’ orbit. This change would allow the debris to be caught by Earth’s gravity. (科学家们还在考虑从航天器发射激光来加热碎片的表面，从而产生一个小小的推动力，从而改变碎片的轨道。这种变化将使碎片被地球引力捕获。)”可知，激光通过加热太空垃圾的表面，改变其轨道，使其进入地球大气层，所以激光是通过将太空垃圾重定向进入地球大气层来清理太空垃圾，故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后两段“Space junk can be very dangerous, and space agencies around the world are testing and planning the cleanup. But why haven’t they done anything yet One reason is the expense. It would take between $4, 000 and $60, 000 per kilogram to catch one piece of debris larger than 10 cm. And around $300 million is needed to develop the laser technology. (太空垃圾可能非常危险，世界各地的航天机构正在测试和计划清理工作。但为什么他们还没有做任何事情呢？一个原因是费用。每公斤需要4，000到60，000美元才能捕获一块大于10厘米的碎片。开发激光技术需要大约3亿美元。)”可知，清理太空垃圾的一个缺点是费用高昂，故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据整篇文章内容可知，文章主要讨论了太空垃圾问题以及清理太空垃圾的方案和困难性，因此B项“Looking for Ways to Clean up Space(寻找清理太空垃圾的方法)”最适合作为标题，故选B项。

Mr Jackson was a well-respected teacher in their small town. He had always paid much attention to his students, especially the ones who needed help. When he noticed that one of his students, Emily, was not getting on the school bus with all the other children and that her exam results had dropped a bit, he became worried.
One day, he decided to follow her and was surprised when he saw her walking towards an old factory building. He parked his car a few blocks away from the factory and waited for Emily to enter. After a few minutes, he carefully moved toward the building, his heart racing with each step.
As he entered the dark and dirty inside of the building, his mind was flooded with a sense of pity. Then he saw Emily sitting on the floor, surrounded(包围) by her textbooks and notebooks.
“Emily, what are you doing here ” Mr Jackson asked, surprised.
Emily looked up and was surprised to see her teacher. She said, “Oh, Mr Jackson! I came here to do my homework. It’s quiet here, and I feel safe.”
“Why don’t you go home ” he asked, his concern(担忧) growing.
“I live with my mother. Recently, my mother lost her job and we haven’t found a house yet,” she replied. “And my father used to work here, so it’s a familiar place to me.”
Mr Jackson was heartbroken to hear this. He knew he had to do something to help Emily. He sat down beside Emily and asked her to tell him everything that was going on.
Emily shared stories about her father, who had passed away a few years before. She talked about how her mother had struggled(努力) to make ends meet.
Mr Jackson listened carefully. The more he knew about Emily, the more he realized that being a teacher was not only about teaching subjects, it was also about shaping young minds and making a difference to their lives. He decided to take action.
Paragraph 1:
The next day, Mr Jackson went to see Emily’s mother.

He helped Emily catch up on her studies every day. Soon, Emily’s grades improved, and she started to come out of her shell, making new friends at school. Meanwhile, Emily’s mother managed to find a job and a house.
Paragraph 2:
One day, Emily’s mother came to Mr Jackson’s house to pick Emily up. She thanked Mr Jackson for everything he had done for them with tears in her eyes. Mr Jackson smiled and said, “You don’t have to thank me. It’s my pleasure to help you and Emily.” Emily hugged her teacher and said, “Thank you, Mr Jackson. You’re the best!” Mr Jackson hugged her back, feeling the warmth and a sense of satisfaction in his heart. He had made a difference to Emily’s life, and that was all that mattered to him.
