Celebrate the moon landing anniversary (周年) with books
Astronomy lovers are not the only ones excited about the 50th anniversary of the moon landing. Publishers are also taking note, serving up a pile of books to mark the occasion.
One Giant Leap, $29.99
Charles Fishman
Getting to the moon demanded a million hours of work for each hour spent in space, this book argues. Accordingly, the story focuses on the engineers, coders, project managers and others who worked hard to get the Apollo program off the ground.
Moonbound, $35
Jonathan Fetter-Vorm
Colorful and detailed, the comic-style illustrations in this book bring the moon landing to life. Much of the astronauts’ dialogue comes from real recordings, making the book particularly reliable.
The Apollo Missions, $19.99
David Baker
A former NASA engineer uses photographs, illustrations, blueprints and other documents to guide readers through a clear history of the space race and the Apollo program, from the beginnings of rocket science to the successful return home of the Apollo 11 crew.
The Mission of a Lifetime, $22
Basil Hero
The Apollo astronauts generally didn’t give personal interviews. But now that they’re getting older, the astronauts are starting to get introspective (内省的). This book deals with conversations with the 12 astronauts who have general wisdom on overcoming fear and appreciating life.
21. What makes the content of Moonbound very reliable?
A. The author’s reliability. B. The personal interviews.
C. The related real recordings. D. The comic-style illustrations.

Today, when we read books, road signs and posters, it’s probably hard to imagine that only half a century ago, about 40 percent of the world’s adults were still illiterate (文盲的), according to data from UNESCO. In response to this situation, UNESCO decided to name Sept. 8 as International Literacy Day, starting from 1967.
Every year, the day is celebrated to stress the importance of literacy and the progress that has been made, which itself is huge—in 2019, the global adult literacy rate rose to 86 percent, while the youth literacy rate was as high as 91 percent, according to UNESCO.
This raises a question: If the mission to promote literacy has basically been accomplished, why do we still celebrate this day? The truth is that the definition of “literacy” keeps changing. For example, the theme for 2007 and 2008 International Literacy Day was “Literacy and health”, which targeted people’s ignorance of diseases like HIV and malaria (疟疾). For 2017, the focus was on “Literacy in a digital world”, because not knowing anything about the Internet in today’s world is just like lacking basic reading abilities in the 1960s—it’s the “new illiteracy”.
The focus for this year’s International Literacy Day is “Literacy and skills development”. But the skills in question are not job-specific skills, such as those required to be an electrician or a chef. Instead, the focus will be on “transferable (可转移的) skills”—communication, critical thinking, teamwork, and creativity, to name a few. These are the things that allow us to do our job well—any job.
24. Why did UNESCO set up International Literacy Day originally?
A. To encourage the young people to read more.
B. To help people read books, road signs and posters.
C. To increase literacy rate from 40 percent to 86 percent.
D. To improve people’s literacy by stressing its importance.
25. How does the author show the progress in literacy?
A. By showing figures. B. By asking questions.
C. By giving examples. D. By comparing the details.
26. Why is International Literacy Day still celebrated today?
A. It meets the demand of the changing times.
B. It helps people improve their reading abilities.
C. It reminds people of the importance of education.
D. It equips people with digital skills in a modern society.
C
Not long ago, “blind box economy” suddenly became popular, winning the heart of large numbers of faithful fans. A couple spent 200 thousand yuan on them. Another sixty-year-old guy spent over 700 thousand yuan in buying blind boxes. Data showed that last year 300 thousand hobbyists made such deals.
The blind boxes usually contain the dolls related to comics and animation, or film and television, or specially designed ones. A single blind box usually costs about thirty to fifty yuan, and only after opening it can the buyer see what he has bought. This is rather like buying lottery (彩票) tickets, for the buyer has to bet on his luck.
However, addiction to blind box is much like that to gambling (赌博). Nobody knows whether sellers of blind boxes exaggerated (夸大) the winning rate so as to attract people to buy them, thus digging a consumption (消费) trap. Besides, it is also unknown whether the objects in the blind boxes are real or not.
The basis of the “blind box economy” is the cultural trend of collection in society. To follow suit, more and more people become fancy collecting animation toys in this way. Many of the target consumers are young people who have scanty experience of life. They are thus attracted by exaggerated probability of “winning a prize” and constantly throw money to buy blind boxes in order to gain dolls that they desire. Or they may buy at second - hand trade platform high - priced blind box dolls, thinking they can keep value preservation or appreciation, thus falling into the fixed pattern of trap carefully designed by businessmen.
Therefore, it is necessary to remind young people to control their consumption in case they become addicted.
27. Why are a couple and a sixty-year-old guy mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. To stress the importance of “blind box economy” to people.
B. To show the popularity of “blind box economy” among people.
C. To tell how much money people spend on blind boxes.
D. To prove older people can afford more to buy blind boxes.
28. What is “blind box economy” based on?
A. People’s love for gambling.
B. Sellers’ trap into consumption.
C. Society’s cultural trend of collection.
D. Consumers’ possibility to make a fortune.
29. What does the underlined word “scanty” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Previous. B. Personal. C. Insufficient. D. Unforgettable.
30. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A. To inform readers of the “blind box economy”.
B. To promote the products of “blind box economy
C. To list the reasons behind the popularity of “blind box economy”.
D. To warn the consumers to think twice before buying blind boxes.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Have you ever come from a vacation feeling more tired than you were? Most travelers often need to rush from one tourist attraction to another. 31 It means renting an apartment for a week or more and exploring your surroundings on foot or by car. It can also mean taking a bike tour from one village to the next so that you can see the scenery along the way. But no matter how you do it, the key is slowing down.
32 It not only allows you to escape from your own stressful everyday life but also to fall naturally into the pace of another culture. 33 You’ll have enough time to know your neighbors or local shops.
34 While airplanes are considered as a major contributor to global warming, trains are much more eco-friendly, as are bikes and your own two feet! And even traveling by car becomes less damaging to the environment when you’re only driving short distances.
Slow travel is often kinder to your budget as well. Staying in one place for a week or more at a time reduces your transportation costs, and vacation rentals are often cheaper than hotels since they allow you to cook your own food.
Therefore, slow travel is an increasingly popular choice for people looking to enrich their travel experiences.
A. That is what slow travel means.
B. There are many benefits of slow travel.
C. If you choose a home exchange, you’ll save more money.
D. The slow traveler wastes time exploring places as much as possible.
E. Slow travel is friendlier to the environment than other types of travel.
F. Now there appears a new movement as a solution to tiring travel: slow travel.
G. Slow travel allows you to form a stronger connection to the place you’re visiting.
