CAN YOU COOK
This teenager can—and his mum’s very happy with him.
Tom is like any other teenager. He goes to school, does his homework, meets his friends and enjoys doing sports.
But between 5: 30 and 6: 30 from Monday to Friday, Tom does something different. He cooks dinner for all the family: mum, dad, younger brother Joe and older sister Emma.
“I think it’s important for teenagers to learn how to cook. Maths and English are important, of course, but they need other skills too to help them in today’s world. First I taught Tom how to cook easy meals like pizza or egg and chips. Then he started using recipes in my cookery books. Yesterday he made vegetable soup. It was very good!” Tom’s mum said.
“I love cooking and I think I’m really good at it. None of my friends can cook. I don’t know why. It isn’t difficult and it’s great fun!” Tom said.
In the past, Tom didn’t help out at home and his mum wasn’t very happy with him. Today, things are different and she is very happy.
(C)49. How many people are there in Tom’s family in total
A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.

Searching for parking spaces has long been a headache for many office workers in many big cities of China, especially for those working in central business districts. Parking near their companies for five days a week could cost them a lot of money. At the same time, even with prices for parking lots in residential areas(居民区) rising, most of their spaces remain idle during workdays.
Now a new form of sharing economy has appeared in China—the shared parking space. It has become a huge market in some big cities. In Qingdao, a coastal city in Shandong, up to 10,000 personal parking spaces have been turned into shared ones with the help of “Airparking”, an online shared parking platform developed by a network company from Guangzhou.
Users can share and order a parking place by downloading and using a special app. Owners who have idle parking spaces can share some information, including the parking position, license number and time limit on the platform. With the information, users can easily find the nearest place to park. The average parking cost for shared parking is 4 yuan each hour, almost the same as the service cost in traditional parking spaces.
Qingdao is one of the Chinese cities that encourage shared parking. Some other big cites, including Beijing, Shanghai and Hefei, have also begun to try this idea. The Shanghai government, for example, has set up more than 6,500 shared parking spaces to encourage the public to use. Shared parking will be more and more helpful to the drivers.
(C)52. The underlined word “idle” probably means ________ in Chinese in Paragraph 1.
A. 懒散的 B. 降价的 C. 闲置的 D. 废弃的
(A)53 If you want to use shared parking in Qingdao, you should ________.
A. download and use a special app
B. share your personal information
C. have a parking space of your own
D. work in central business districts
(B)54. The structure(结构) of the passage is ________.
A. B. C. D.
(B)55. What can we infer from the passage？
A. Qingdao has fewer shared parking spaces than Shanghai.
B. Shared parking will probably become more and more popular.
C. Shared parking is less expensive than traditional parking service.
D. It’s hard to find parking spaces in residential areas during workdays.

It was the first science class from the Wentian lab module and the third “Tiangong Class”. The first and second were given by the Shenzhou-13 members in the station’s Tianhe core module. The classes made a lot of young people fall in love with space science.

九、根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词(每小题1分，满分10分)
A weak polar bear is standing on a small piece of ice，drifting (漂流) in the sea.He is(81) losing the thick ice that used to be his home and hunting ground.
The Arctic Ocean makes up two﹣thirds of the Arctic.It is almost(82) entirely with sea ice during the winter.During the (83) summer，around 50 percent of the sea is also frozen.It's home to more than 21，0000 species (物种) and about 4 million people.
There has been a lot of bad news in recent years about how climate (气候) change has affected the Arctic (北极).This October，a group of scientists returned from a year﹣long Arctic expedition (远征).They had (84) more bad news：all Arctic ice may disappear during the summer in just some years.The temperature in the Arctic is 18 degrees (85) higher than it was 125 years ago.Even at the North Pole，the coldest point in the Arctic，scientists found badly melted (融化的)，thin ice.
Polar bears are not the only animals that are suffering.Animals like seals also depend on the ice to rest，give birth and (86) raise babies.The loss of ice means the loss of their habitat (栖息地).Since there's now more rain，moss (苔藓) and grass are locked in ice instead of snow.Many reindeer (驯鹿) fail to get their (87) food under the hard ice.According to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF)，the number of deer has (88) dropped by 56 percent in the last 20 years.
Melting sea ice is also (89) opening the door for more human activities，such as shipping，traveling and fishing.This will disturb (扰乱) the area's environment and the Arctic would never be the same again.Meanwhile，as the ice melts，sea levels will (90) rise.Coastal cities may go underwater，and there'll be more extreme weather.

Whether your hero is known around the world, or is someone closer to home who simply makes you laugh or is kind to you, we can’t wait to see your drawings of them and read about who inspires you! See below for instructions on how to enter the competition. Good luck! Download and print out templates (模板) to draw your picture on by visiting http://kidspic.com.au.

CAN YOU COOK
This teenager can—and his mum’s very happy with him.
Tom is like any other teenager. He goes to school, does his homework, meets his friends and enjoys doing sports.
But between 5: 30 and 6: 30 from Monday to Friday, Tom does something different. He cooks dinner for all the family: mum, dad, younger brother Joe and older sister Emma.
“I think it’s important for teenagers to learn how to cook. Maths and English are important, of course, but they need other skills too to help them in today’s world. First I taught Tom how to cook easy meals like pizza or egg and chips. Then he started using recipes in my cookery books. Yesterday he made vegetable soup. It was very good!” Tom’s mum said.
“I love cooking and I think I’m really good at it. None of my friends can cook. I don’t know why. It isn’t difficult and it’s great fun!” Tom said.
In the past, Tom didn’t help out at home and his mum wasn’t very happy with him. Today, things are different and she is very happy.

Searching for parking spaces has long been a headache for many office workers in many big cities of China, especially for those working in central business districts. Parking near their companies for five days a week could cost them a lot of money. At the same time, even with prices for parking lots in residential areas(居民区) rising, most of their spaces remain idle during workdays.
Now a new form of sharing economy has appeared in China—the shared parking space. It has become a huge market in some big cities. In Qingdao, a coastal city in Shandong, up to 10,000 personal parking spaces have been turned into shared ones with the help of “Airparking”, an online shared parking platform developed by a network company from Guangzhou.
Users can share and order a parking place by downloading and using a special app. Owners who have idle parking spaces can share some information, including the parking position, license number and time limit on the platform. With the information, users can easily find the nearest place to park. The average parking cost for shared parking is 4 yuan each hour, almost the same as the service cost in traditional parking spaces.
Qingdao is one of the Chinese cities that encourage shared parking. Some other big cites, including Beijing, Shanghai and Hefei, have also begun to try this idea. The Shanghai government, for example, has set up more than 6,500 shared parking spaces to encourage the public to use. Shared parking will be more and more helpful to the drivers.
( )52. The underlined word “idle” probably means ________ in Chinese in Paragraph 1.
A. 懒散的 B. 降价的 C. 闲置的 D. 废弃的
( )53 If you want to use shared parking in Qingdao, you should ________.
A. download and use a special app
B. share your personal information
C. have a parking space of your own
D. work in central business districts
( )54. The structure(结构) of the passage is ________.
A. B. C. D.
( )55. What can we infer from the passage？
A. Qingdao has fewer shared parking spaces than Shanghai.
B. Shared parking will probably become more and more popular.
C. Shared parking is less expensive than traditional parking service.
D. It’s hard to find parking spaces in residential areas during workdays.

On October 12, 2022, students from all over the country took the third live class from China’s space station. Shenzhou-14 members Chen Dong, Liu Yang and Cai Xuzhe gave the class to students on the earth.
At the beginning of the 50-minute class, the astronauts showed the new “classroom”, the Wentian lab module (问天实验舱). They worked and lived there. It became part of China’s space station in July last year.
The astronauts did four interesting experiments (实验) in the microgravity (微重力) environment. Liu Yang tried drinking mango juice with a two-meter straw and she made it! Another experiment showed that a water ball became “lazy” after a small steel ball was put inside it. Chen Dong made two T-handles “dance” on the space station... The astronauts also invited students to do the experiments on the earth. The students found the differences between space and the earth. “How interesting!” they said.
The astronauts also answered questions from students like “how to become an astronaut” and “what kinds of plants they will grow in space in the future”.
It was the first science class from the Wentian lab module and the third “Tiangong Class”. The first and second were given by the Shenzhou-13 members in the station’s Tianhe core module. The classes made a lot of young people fall in love with space science.
