21、China’s first domestically-developed passenger jet, C919, was delivered to China Eastern Airlines in Shanghai in late 2022. The plane, developed by the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC), was issued a certificate of airworthiness by the country’s aviation (航空) regulator, the Civil Aviation Administration of China.

Its certification signifies that China has the ability to independently develop world-class large passenger aircraft, and marks an important milestone for the country’s large aircraft industry. American aerospace manufacturer (制造商) Boeing and France-based Airbus have long dominated the commercial aircraft market. The C919, as part of China’s goal to develop homemade civil planes, is trying to compete with medium-range passenger planes from the two global giants.

The C919 narrow-body jet is China’s first trunk jetliner developed in accordance with international standards of airworthiness and with independent intellectual property rights. It has a wingspan of nearly 36 meters, a length of about 39 meters and a tail height of around 12 meters. The single-aisle plane has 158 to 192 seats. About 60 percent of the planes in the global civil plane industry, and 80 percent of the planes on the Chinese market, belong to this category in terms of the number of seats. Its aerodynamically-designed wings made from advanced metals and composites help improve fuel efficiency while reducing noise in the cabin. Its cockpit (驾驶舱), with the latest navigation technology and the so-called “fly by wire” computer controls, makes the C919 competitive with other narrow-body jets.

Narrow-body aircraft with 150 to 200 seats have been the most widely used planes in the global civil aviation market, and the C919 was designed and developed to meet the huge market demand for this type of planes. COMAC said the company is also preparing for gaining an airworthiness certificate from the European Aviation Safety Agency, aiming for the global market. And if the C919 could prove it’s safe, reliable and fuel-efficient in commercial operations, and has a competitive price, it will of course be welcomed by the global market.

【1】What does the C919’s certification mean?

A．Chinese aircraft manufacturing ha superior to American.

B．The C919 is the best-equipped commercial aircraft in the world.

C．China has the ability to develop medium-range passenger planes.

B．To prospect huge market potential of the C919.

C．To compare the C919 with other foreign planes.

D．To celebrate the C919’s success of its certification.

【4】What is the text?

A．A news report.

B．A science review.

C．A research paper.

D．An experiment report.

22、   The Illinois Department of Natural Resources is returning a fish called the alligator gar to the state's rivers. Some people call the fish a “living fossil." Experts believe the fish first appeared during the Early Cretaceous period more than 100 million years ago.

Randy Sauer is an Illinois state fisheries biologist. He says the fish disappeared from the state's rivers in the 1990s, although they have continued to do well in southern states. Sauer says biologists want to bring the fish back to northern rivers "because it is important to have top predators （捕食者）to balance the species below them," he said.

Sport fishermen like to try to catch the alligator gar. Alligator gar are the second-largest freshwater fish in North America. They can grow as large as 2,7 meters and weigh more than 136 kilograms. Sauer says their large size is one reason they disappeared in the 1990s. Experts say alligator gars are '"opportunistic feeders." This means they will eat almost anything — including small turtles or ducks. They also eat invasive species such as Asian silver carp. Sauer hopes the reintroduction of the alligator gar will help the state's efforts to control the carp. Because alligator gar can live up to 60 years, the program will continue to increase for many years.

Sauer notes that female alligator gars do "not sexually mature until 11 years, and the male not till 6 or 7 years' That means the biologists will try to raise and release a lot offish early in the program to reintroduce them. “We're probably going to stock （储备）more heavily than 10 or 20 years down the road when hopefulIy these fish will find each other and start doing the job on their own." Sauer says.

Small devices have been placed in 7,000 of the fish so they can be observed after they are released into the waterways of Illinois. As it rains and floods, biologists expect some of the fish will follow the rivers into the states of Louisiana and Texas.

【1】Why people call the alligator gar “living fossil"?

A.They have existed for over 100 million years.

B.They can grow up to 136 kilograms.

C.Their fossil can be found on earth.

D.They can grow up to 2.7 meters.

【2】Biologists will reintroduce the alligator gar to northern rivers in order to_______ .

A.increase the number of the alligar gar

B.help people make more money

C.help to protect the environment

D.keep the species' balance

【3】According to Randy Sauer, alligar gar died out in northern rivers because ________.

A.they ate almost anything

B.they were very huge in size

C.the rivers were polluted then

D.they were caught by sport fishermen

【4】What can we learn from the underlined statement?

A.10 or 20 years will be needed to find these fish.

B.It will be decades before these fish produce young.

C.There is a long way to go before the fish find each other

D.These fish can find each other themselves along the waterways.

23、A new year can bring new excitement and opportunities to grow for kids, too. 【1】 New Year’s resolutions can be a beneficial way for kids to get motivated, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics.

“【2】 ”said Dr. Lanre Falusi, a Washington, D. C., pediatrician (儿科医生) in an American Academy of Pediatrics statement. “Kids also love having something to work toward and to have fun keeping track on sticker charts or getting praise or rewards as they reach these goals.”

The idea of a goal may also be easier for younger children to grasp. Jack Frezell, 3, of Ontario, Canada, said his goal for next year is to “go on my bike by myself.” Setting goals can teach children persistence, focus and the value of planning, according to Gary Latham, Secretary of State Professor of Organizational Behavior at the University of Toronto, who specializes in goal setting. “ 【3】 ” Latham said, “It teaches them control over their environment instead of being dependent on Mom and Dad.”

【4】 “It has to be concrete; it has to be within the child’s ability to attain; and there has to be a reasonable time frame,” said Latham. He noted that once kids reach age 7 or so, it’s achievable for them to set a goal and make their own plan for how to pursue and attain it. 【5】 Here’s when to show children with inspiration and give them a hand.

“Next thing you know, the overall goal has been attained, and it gives kids a sense of accomplishment, excitement and achievement,” he said.

A．Setting realistic goals is difficult for kids.

B．The big impact is that it teaches them initiative.

C．How important it is to set healthy goals with kids.

D．Goals that are both specific and achievable are key.

E．They can learn to focus on new goals just like adults.

F．If it’s not specific, some kids are likely to blame themselves.

G．Of course, guidance from parents is still helpful for kids of all ages.

24、China landed a spacecraft on Mars for the first time last Saturday. This makes China the first country to make a successful landing on Mars on its first mission to Mars. China's Zhurong rover （探测车），named after a traditional Chinese fire god, has touched down on the martian surface, the China National Space Administration confirmed on the morning of Saturday, May 15,

The rover is part of the Tian wen-1 mission, which consists of an orbiter, a probe, and a lander. The mission was launched in summer last year, and took seven months to complete its journey to the red planet. It arrived at Mars in February this year, and since then the spacecraft has been performing operations such as capturing images of Mars.

Believe it or not, traveling to Mars is actually the easy part of such a mission. The truly hard part is landing on the planet's surface, as landers must contend with factors like the planet's thin atmosphere, its variable dust storms, and a communication delay between Mars and Earth. This delay makes it impossible for people in mission control on Earth to control a craft in real time as it approaches the planet, so the landing must be performed autonomously.

To slow its speed as the lander approached the surface, it used both a parachute （降落伞）and a retrorocket (减速火箭）in its own "seven minutes of terror" as it moved through the atmosphere. It then landed in the Utopia Planitia area, a large impact basin, part of which was exploded by NASA's Viking 2 lander in the 1970s.

According to China's slate news agency Xinhua, President Xi Jinping said he was sending "warm congratulations and sincere greetings to all members who have participated in the Mars exploration mission.'

The rover will now begin its three- month mission to explore the Utopia Planitia area, where it will be searching for surface and subsurface ice. The mission will involve both the rover and the orbiter working in concert to create a map of water ice, with the orbiter focusing on the planet's polar regions.

【1】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A．The Tianwen-1 mission includes four space missions.

B．Zhurong was known as a great astronomer in ancient China.

C．The spacecraft has carried out a series of experiments in advance.

D．China achieved success in landing on Mars creating a new record.

【2】What should be carefully considered on landing on Mars?

a. Mars's atmosphere. b. Mars's bad weather

c. The landing instructions. d. The communication delay.

A．abc

B．bed

C．abd

D．abcd

【3】What does the author imply in Paragraph 4?

A．The landing way is quite different.

B．The landing process is full of danger.

C．The landing site is unknown to NASA.

D．The landing time is calculate precisely.

【4】Which of the following missions will be launched in three months?

A．The analysis of ice samples.

B．The mapping of the Mars's polar regions.

C．The exploration of the Utopia Planitia area.

D．The collection of surface and subsurface ice.

【5】Which column does the passage come from?

A．Space

B．Fiction

C．Medical

D．Nature

26、Directions: Read the following three passages. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

IKEA, known around the world as a supplier of furniture and other home goods, is taking steps to protect the environment. By 2030 IKEA plans to be a circular business, one whose products can all be reused or recycled rather than thrown away. To achieve this goal, the company is redesigning all of its products. How can it design products that will last longer and be easier to fix and that people can recycle when they are finished with them? By answering these questions, IKEA hopes to improve the sustainability of its business model.

IKEA wants people to be able to repair its products rather than throw them away when something goes wrong. To accomplish that goal, the company is standardizing the parts, materials and colors that it uses. This means that if a part needs to be replaced, it will be easy to find. In the past IKEA has only offered spare parts for some products; now it is greatly expanding the number of spare parts customers can purchase. This makes it feasible for customers to repair their own furniture. IKEA is also redesigning the parts of its products that are most likely to wear out quickly.

To extend the life of its products, IKEA is trying to make their maintenance easier. It is also making its products easier to take apart and transport, so the furniture is less likely to break when being moved or changing hands.

Sometimes people replace their furniture not because there is something wrong with it, but because their needs have changed. So IKEA is also trying to help people keep furniture for a longer time by making it easy to modify. Some pieces can be expanded or reduced in size as family members and guests come and go. Others have covers that can be exchanged for different look.

But even with all these efforts, it is likely that certain products will eventually no longer be usable. At that point they can be remanufactured — the pieces reassembled (重新组装) into something new-or recycled. And IKEA is designing products to make these processes easier. The company is also working to reduce waste in other areas, such as packaging and food waste from restaurants inside its stores.

These efforts to reduce the number of IKEA products that are abandoned and thrown in landfills will help create a more environmentally friendly economy.
