“Welcome to our new ‘classroom'！” said Chen Dong，one of the three astronauts of the Shenzhou XIV mission.
They were giving a science class 400 kilometers above Earth on Oct 12.It was the third space class from the Tiangong space station，but the first one from the Wentian lab module(舱) since its launch in July.The first two classes were held in the Tianhe core module.
What does the new “classroom” look like Chen，together with Liu Yang and Cai Xuzhe，showed us around. “The beds here are kept upright，” said Liu.That means astronauts in the Wentian lab module need to sleep standing up! But as Liu explained，people don't feel any difference because there's no gravity(重力) in space.Astronauts can even sleep on the ceiling or upside down!
The astronauts also showed their “space farm”，where lettuce，wheat，thale cress and rice are grown. “Take a picture！” “Send the picture！” Through a voice controlled camera，Chen has already sent a picture of the thale cress to scientists on Earth.Then he used scissors to cut a sample. “I will put it into a fridge at －80°C and later give it to scientists on Earth，” said Chen.Scientists will study how the environment of space affects the growth of plants.
“We hope in the near future we can harvest(收获) the food grown on our own，” said Chen. “Maybe one day，we can grow food on the moon or even on Mars！”
（ ）50.Where did the third space class take place
A In the Shenzhou XIV. B.In the Tianhe core module. C．In the Wentian lab module.
（ ）51.Scientists on Earth study the plants in the space station by ________.
studying the samples astronauts bring back
B.taking and collecting pictures themselves
C．growing the plants in space themselves
（ ）52.What was shown in the third class in the Tiangong space station
A．Cooking. B．The space farm. C．Astronauts harvesting food.
（ ）53.The passage is mainly written to ________.
A．show the design of Shenzhou XIV
B．share China's achievements in the space
C．introduce the third space class

In the past ten years，great progress has been made in technology.It seems like everything has been greatly improved.But there is one thing unlike them.It was invented over 100 years ago but remained unchanged until now.I'm talking about a blind walking stick.
The white stick has been used by many blind people for a long time.However，it hasn't really been improved，until a blind engineer named Kursat decided to do something to change that.He hoped his invention would help the blind.
He invented a smart stick called the WeWalk.The smart stick uses built in speakers and different sensors (传感) to warn about possible dangers.It helps blind people in navigating (航行) around their environment.It makes their travel much easier.The stick is priced at around $500.It is less than half the price of most smart phones.Most people can afford it.This invention is going to change life a lot for the blind.
Kursat well understands the difficulties that the blind face.That's because he is blind himself.He decided to put his knowledge of technology into inventing something.It would not only change his life，but also the life of many others.
“In these days，we are talking about flying cars.But the blind have been using just a simple stick.As a blind person，when I am at the bus stop，I don't know which bus is coming or which stores are around me.Now，that kind of information can be provided by the WeWalk，” he said, “I believe life of the blind will be much easier and safer.”
（ ）54.Kursat invented the WeWalk to ________.
A．become an engineer B.help the blind C．change everything
（ ）55.What's the third paragraph mainly about
A．The name of the smart stick.
B．The reason for inventing the WeWalk.
C．The introduction of the WeWalk.
（ ）56.Which words can we use to describe Kursat
A．Creative and caring. B.Smart and thankful. C．Healthy and lucky.
（ ）57.We may read this text from the section of ________ in a magazine.
A．health B．teaching C．science

A．Users can also add the behavior.
B．Nobody knows where the animals are.
C．In this way，they can help to protect these animals.
D．However，it is getting more difficult to protect them.
E．People are really proud to do something for the country.
F．There's a need to bring in many people who can help protect the animals.
Kenya's wildlife authorities(当局) has developed a free mobile phone app.It is called Mammal Atlas Kenya，or Makenya.It allows users to track rare mammals(珍稀哺乳动物)．Any user who sees a wild mammal can report where the animal is.58.
Kenya is home to nearly 400 kinds of mammals.And 22 of them are natives to regions of Kenya.59. It is because climate change and human activities have brought great risks to their living places.
So authorities developed the mobile app.The app also provides a way to upload photographs and other information，such as the number of mammals sighted and the places where they are found.60. “When you see this mammal，what are they doing Are they resting Are they running away Are they feeding？”said Dr Simon Musila，a researcher at the National Museums of Kenya.
61． “These are people like safari(观兽旅行)guides.These are people like students，tourists，people who go out and come across animals and will be willing to report their discoveries，”said Musila.
Samson Onyuok uses the Makenya app.Users like him have reported more than 2，500 mammal sightings since the app was developed in August，2022.
62. “I think as a Kenyan，that is my little way of helping to protect the mammals.So，yes，there is a fulfillment(成就感)which comes with that，”Onyuok said.

阅读下面短文，根据其内容填空和回答问题。(第63至66题每题答案不超过3个单词，第67题须用完整句子回答。)
Just like an electronic bird，the ornithopter (扑翼飞机) is a kind of aircraft(飞行器) that flies with its mechanical(机械的) wings.It will be used in many fields，such as doing research on other planets，at airports，in the army and so on.They were designed by taking after the act of flying birds.
In the 1500s, inspired by birds, Da Vinci invented a flying machine.But it flew only for a short time because of a lack of power.
Around the world, most ornithopters could keep flying for around half an hour，which was far behind other aircraft.There used to be no information about its flying time in the Guinness World Record(吉尼斯世界纪录) for a long time.However，two Chinese universities set world records one after another.
On July 21，2022，Beihang University set a Guinness World Record for the longest flight time of an ornithopter at a time.The unmanned aircraft looked like a bird in shape.It kept flying without stopping for more than 90 minutes.It is able to fly at a speed of 10 meters per second.In the tests before，the aircraft's flight lasted just 53 minutes.
After the research team improved its power system，its performance became much better.Nearly three months later，on November 15，2022，the record was broken by Northwestern Polytechnical University.The university made an ornithopter named Yun Xiao.The aircraft could keep flying non stop for 123 minutes.They also developed other kinds of ornithopters.They were named after the birds，such as Pigeon and Xintianweng.
China has made great achievements in the study of unmanned aircraft.
63．The designers of ornithopter designed it by taking after the act of .
64．The flying machine Da Vinci invented flew for because of a lack of power.
65．Beihang University's unmanned aircraft after improving its power system.
66．The flight time of Yun Xiao is longer than that of an unmanned aircraft designed by Beihang University.
67．Are you interested in the unmanned aircraft Why or why not
