A king took a monkey for a pet. He always kept him close at hand for fun. The monkey fed on rich dishes that the king gave him and grew large. He was given respect by all people around the king. The king loved and trusted him so much that he even gave him a sword（剑）to carry.
Near the palace the king had a garden. Early in the springtime the king noticed how beautiful the garden was and bees were flying from flower to flower. Overcome by love, he entered the garden and ordered all his servants to wait for him at the entrance.
After walking through and enjoying the garden, he grew tired and said to his monkey, “I want to sleep a little while in this arbor（凉亭）of flowers. Take care that nothing disturbs（打扰）me!” Having said this, the king fell asleep.

A Chinese spacecraft called Chang’e-4 made the first soft landing on the far side of the moon at 10:26 a. m. on January 3, 2019. It is the first time that a spacecraft has made it. The far side is the part of the moon that always faces away from the Earth.
After it landed on the ground, the spacecraft took the first photo of the “dark side” of the moon, and sent it back to the Earth through the Queqiao relay satellite（中继卫星）. The scientists launched the satellite into space in May, 20l8.
“What we know about the far side of the moon is from orbiters（轨道飞行器）, from Russia, the US, European countries, China and India,” Andrew Coates, a professor of Physics at University College London, told a reporter.
China sent Chang’e-4 into space from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in December, 2018. Sending a spacecraft to the far side of the moon isn’t easy, because the far side is covered in craters（环形山）. Some of its mountains are higher than Qomolangma, the highest mountain on the Earth.
What’s more, we can’t see the far side because it takes the moon about 28 days to move around the Earth with the same side always facing our planet. Direct communication with the Earth is impossible on the far side of the moon, so communications must go through a communication satellite. That was why scientists launched the Quegiao relay satellite.
16．What does the underlined word “launched” mean in Chinese
A．研发 B．改造 C．发射 D．追踪
17．Why did scientists launch the Queqiao relay satellite
A．To help Chang’e-4 move around the moon.
B．To get information of other relay satellites.
C．To send pictures of space to scientists on the Earth.
D．To provide a way of communication with the Earth.
18．What do the last two paragraphs mainly tell us
A．Why sending a spacecraft to the far side of the moon is difficult.
B．How China sent Chang’e-4 into space from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center.
C．The differences between the mountains on the Earth and the mountains on the moon.
D．How the moon travels around the Earth with the same side always facing our planet.
19．What CANNOT we know from the passage
A．When Chang’e-4 landed on the far side of the moon.
B．How scientists sent the satellite into space.
C．What Chang’e-4 did after landing on the far side of the moon.
D．What people knew about the far side of the moon.
20．Where does the passage probably come from
A．A notice. B．A newspaper. C．A letter. D．A diary.
China is a country in East Asia. It is large in more than one way. More than 1.4 billion people live here. That’s about a fifth of all the people on the Earth! And China is the third largest country by total area in the world. It covers about 3.7 million square miles.
This large country has many different kinds of land. It has some very low areas of land. In fact, the second lowest point on the Earth is in China. It is Ayding Lake in the Turpan Basin(吐鲁番盆地).

The snow in the mountains is a source(源头)of many rivers. In fact, the snow makes two of China’s most important rivers. They are the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. The Yellow River is China’s second longest river. It is very special to the Chinese people, as it was the birthplace of Chinese civilization(文明). The Yangtze River is the longest river in Asia and the third longest river in the world!
There are thousands of rivers in China. But there is still desert in the country. And rainforests are also in some areas of the country. So visitors can enjoy diverse landscapes in this country!

A．How many people there are in China. B．How large China is in size.

A．Ayding Lake is the second lowest point on the Earth.
B．About one fifth of the people in the world live in China.
C．A source of many rivers is the snow in the mountains.

Let’s try our best to protect the environment
Dear friends,
I’m a student of Grade 9 in Dazhou. As we know, we have only one Earth. But in recent years, many disasters happened on the Earth and unusual weather appeared very often. All these bad things were caused by the terrible environment, but the terrible environment was caused by humans. As students in Dazhou, what should we do
First, we should spread something unusual to protect our environment. For example, we can give talks on how important the environment is. Second, we should save water and electricity in our daily life. Third, in order to reduce air pollution, it’s better to go to school by bus or bike or on foot. Fourth, we can sort the garbage into four categories: recyclable, harmful, dry and wet waste. And we can reuse bags instead of plastic bags.
If we all keep doing these things, I believe the environment will be better and better. Let’s try our best!
