Waving her 5-year-old daughter goodbye, Wang Yaping, together with Zhai Zhigang and Ye Guangfu, went
into space aboard the Shenzhou XIII on Oct 16, 2021.
The 41-year-old Wang became the first woman astronaut to enter Tiangong space station. Wang’s space
dream started in 2003, when China sent its first astronaut Yang Liwei into space. She told herself, “China now has
a male（男性）astronaut. When will there be a female one ”At that time, Wang was a pilot in the Chinese army.
After having safe flights for 1,600 hours over nine years, Wang was a strong candidate（候选人）to become
an astronaut in 2010. She pushed herself hard getting the same training as men, including the pull-ups（引体向上）
and barbells（杠铃）. “The space environment won’t change because you are a woman,” she told Xinhua.
The hardest part is the high-G training. Sitting in a spinning（旋转的）machine, Wang would become blind
for a while because her brain was short of blood. “There’s a red button（按钮）,” said Wang. “If you can’t bear it,
you can press（按动）it to stop.” But Wang never used it. “There is no such red button in my heart.”
That strong spirit finally led to realizing her dream in 2013. She joined the team for the Shenzhou X mission
（任务）.
Wang carries the spirit of every young woman who dreams of something big.
36．How many astronauts were sent up to enter Tiangong space station in 2021
A．5. B．4. C．3. D．2.
37．When did China send Yang Liwei into space
A．In 2021. B．In 2010. C．In 2003. D．In 2013.
38．What’s the hardest training for Wang Yaping
A．The pull-ups. B．The high-G. C．The pressing button.D．The barbells.
39．According to the passage, the underlined word “bear” means _________.
A．believe B．stand C．make D．repair
40．What’s the best title of the passage
A．The Space Dream B．The Shenzhou XIII

There are several ways you can find out about the countries and places you wish to visit. You can talk to
friends who have traveled to the places, you can go and see a color film about them, or you can read a travel book.
It seems that there are three kinds of travel books. The first are those that give a personal, subjective(主观的)
idea of travels which their writer has got himself. These books can be useful if the writers share their traveling
experiences with others. The second kind are those books which give objective(客观的) information of things to
be done and seen. If a cultured person has written such a book about the facts of a place, then it is more useful.
The third kind are those books which are called “a guide” to some place or other. If they are good, they will
describe and explain the place in detail. Like the first kind, they can be interesting and exciting, but their main
purpose is to help the reader plan his travel in the most practical way.
Whatever kind of travel book you choose, you must make sure that the book does not describe everything
as interesting, exciting or fantastic. You must also keep an open eyes on its date of publication(出版) because
travel is very practical matter and many things change quickly in the 21st century. Finally, you should make sure
that it’s easy to find the useful information for you travel.
41. The passage was written to introduce_______.
A. travel maps B. travel books C. travel films D. travel places
42. The writer of the first kind of travel books gave his ideas after he _______.
A. traveled B. read books C. a lot of experience D. surfed the Internet
43. The underlined phrase “a cultured person” means a person with ________.
A. a good appearance B. a good education
C. a lot of experience D. a lot of money
44. The date of publication must be noticed because ________.
A. the prices of travel books may be different.
B. the writers of travel books may be different.
C. the information in travel books is always the same.
D. the information in travel books is always changing.
45. According to the passage, it is best to read ______ before traveling to a place of interest.
A. the first kind of travel books B. the second kind of travel books
C. the third kind of travel books D. some travel articles in newspaper
三．短文还原。阅读短文，从短文下面方框中的六个句子中选择五个还原到短文中，使短文通顺完整、
衔接自然。（共 5 空，每小题 2 分，计 10 分）
A person has two ears but only one mouth. That means we should listen more, not just speak more.Then why
is it important to be a good listener
46 When someone is upset or angry, he wants to show his poor feelings. At this moment, we need to
listen first until he gets cool.Then we may have a good talk with him. Maybe it s a good way to help him out.
47 For example, we may think our parents are always talking too much. But in fact, they do so
because they love us. If we listen to them patiently, our parents will feel we care about them. A loving silence is
often better than words.
48 Sometimes we just want others to listen to us but forget to listen to them. In fact, that’s not good.
To show our respect (尊重) for others, we should listen to them first. Then we can show our ideas.
49 People usually think they are right. They hardly accept others’ ideas. But when you think about
things in others’ opinion (想法), you might have a different thought. So, learn to listen to others.
50 Every head has a special world. We should learn to listen with our ears, watch with our eyes, and
think with our heart. Try to make yourself a good listener from now on.

阅读短文，根据题目要求完成各小题。
Firefighting is an important job to keep people safe and help stop fires from damaging(毁 坏 ) too much
property(财产).
There are many important parts to be a firefighter. First of all, firefighters have to be strong enough to do
their work, so they need to have physical training, such as carrying heavy objects(物体), going up many stairs,
and working for a long time. Firefighters also have to know the latest skills in fighting fires, so they need to go
through regular training to keep themselves and others safe. Anyway, the most important part of being a
firefighter is to work as a team. They have to work together to stop fires!
Firefighting is very stressful. Firefighters never know when a fire or other emergency(紧急情况) is going to
happen, so they have to be ready at all times. Even in the middle of the night, firefighters have to be able to wake
up quickly when the alarm goes off.
Firefighters don’t just fight fires. They also help people who are in accidents. For example, they use their
special tools to help get people out of the cars if they’re stuck(卡住). In some places, firefighters also have to be
prepared to help people who are sick or injured(受伤的). These firefighters might be trained as nursing staff.
Firefighters are always there to help us whenever there’s an emergency. Firefighting is not easy, but if you
like helping people, it might be a good job for you!
