By 2019, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) had founded for 70 years. Over the past decades, many people had made great contributions to the country’s development. On Sept 17, Chinese President Xi Jinping signed a presidential decree (主席令) to award (授予) national medals and honorary titles to forty-two of these contributors, including both Chinese citizens and foreigners. Eight people received the Medal of the Republic, six foreigners received the Friendship Medals, and 28 people received the National Honorary Titles (国家荣誉称号). Now let’s learn about four of the persons who got the Medal of the Republic (共和国勋章).
Shen Jilan is a lifelong lawmaker. In 1954, she became a deputy (代表) to the National People’s Congress. Since then, she has served at all 13 NPCs. She came up with the idea of equal pay for equal work between men and women. The idea was written into China’s first constitution (宪法) in 1954. Sun Jiadong made great contributions toward developing Chinese satellite technology and space exploration. He was the chief designer of both the Beidou navigation (导航) system and China’s lunar exploration project.
Zhang Fuqing was a soldier in the People’s Liberation Army during the Liberation War. He was twice awarded the title of Combat Hero. In 1955, he volunteered to work in a remote (偏远的) county in Hubei province and has been helping poor people there ever since. Tu Youyou, a scientist, is known for winning the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2015. She got inspiration from traditional Chinese medicine theories and discovered artemisinin, a medicine that can be used to cure malaria. Her finding has saved the lives of millions.
24. According to the material, the four people mentioned all received________.
A. the Nobel Prize B. the Medal of the Republic

D. Zhang Fuqing was twice awarded the the National Honorary Titles
27. In which field did Sun Jiadong make the most contribution
A. Agriculture B. Education C. Economics D. Space exploration
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. A 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是获得过共和国勋章的四个人物。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“Now let’s learn about four of the persons who got the Medal of the Republic (共和国勋章).(现在我们来了解一下获得共和国勋章的四个人。)”可知，上述四人都获得了共和国勋章，故选B。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据表格第三个框里的“Zhang Fuqing was a soldier in the People’s Liberation Army during the Liberation War.(张富清是解放战争时期中国人民解放军的一名士兵。)”可推知，张富清也许知道如何使用枪，故选C。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据表格最后一个框里的“She got inspiration from traditional Chinese medicine theories and discovered artemisinin, a medicine that can be used to cure malaria.(她从中医理论中获得灵感，发现了青蒿素，一种可用于治疗疟疾的药物。)”可知，疟疾是一种疾病，故选A。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二个框里的“Sun Jiadong made great contributions toward developing Chinese satellite technology and space exploration.(孙家栋为发展中国卫星技术和空间探索做出了巨大贡献。)”可知，孙家栋在太空探索领域做出了巨大贡献，故选D。
C
The Moon is attracting much attention these days as NASA is ready for its Artemis I launch and preparing for more to follow. The mission objectives are clear: develop a sustainable presence on its surface and pave the way to go to Mars.
And then what What’s the next great leap in humans’ quest for the secrets of the universe When it comes to the near future scientific exploration, there are a few areas of the solar system that will be receiving some special attention.
First off, there’s Venus, a planet which was a relative paradise with oceans and a pleasant atmosphere. Something went terribly wrong there a few billion years ago, and NASA has scheduled a series of missions to explore what exactly is going on there.
At the other end are the gas giants. Several of the satellites of Jupiter and Saturn are covered in thick sheets of ice, and underneath that ice sit oceans of liquid water. NASA has missions planned to investigate those mysterious worlds, hunting for any signs of possible life hidden deep within.
As for us humans, Mars is certainly the grand prize in the coming decades. If we have the adequate drive and funds, we can establish a semi-permanent presence on the red planet, keeping crews working and studying in person on the Martian surface. The other planets of our solar system are not so suitable for people to settle on. Mercury is too close to the Sun for comfort and too far away from the Earth.
Over the coming decades, humans expect to see a rise of “space hotels”, set up for visiting tourists and scientific explorations. Naturally, turning the space rock into a habitat for humans is not very practical considering our current level of technological maturity, but in my best estimation, it’s the next easiest thing to accomplish after the Moon and Mars, of course.
28. What does the underlined word “quest” probably mean in the second paragraph
A. Request. B. Explanation.
C. Question. D. Search.
29. Which is the least likely to be explored in the next decades according to the passage
A. Mars. B. Venus.
C. Mercury. D. Gas giants.
30. What’s the author’s attitude towards the “space hotels”
A. Doubtful. B. Hopeful.
C Critical. D. Unconcerned.
31. What’s the passage mainly about
A. The launch of Artemis I.
B. The secrets of the solar system.
C. The missions of NASA.
D. The areas of the future universe exploration.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. D
【解析】

D
The idea of low material desire, low consumption and refusing to work, marry and have children, concluded as a “lying down” lifestyle, recently struck a chord with many young Chinese who are eager to take pause to breathe in this fast-paced and highly-competitive society.
Many millennials (千禧一代) and generation Zs complained to the Global Times that burdens, including work stress, family disputes and financial strains, have pushed them “against the wall”. They said they hate the “involution(内卷),” joking that they would rather give up some of what they have than get trapped in an endless competition against peers.
“Instead of always following the ‘virtues’ of struggle, endure and sacrifice to bear the stresses, they prefer a temporary lying down as catharsis (宣泄) and adjustment,” said a scholar. “It is no wonder that some young people, under the growing pressures from child-raising to paying the mortgage (按揭) today, would try to live in a simple way and leave the worries behind.”
Interestingly the majority of millennials and Gen Zs reached by the Global Times, who claim to be big fans of the lying down philosophy, acknowledged that they only accept a temporary lying down as a short rest. It is true that with the great improvement of living conditions, some Chinese youth have partially lost the spirit of hardship and are not willing to bear too much hard work. But in fact, lying down is not entirely comfortable. Young people who lie down always feel guilty about their constant loss of morale (士气) far beyond their reach.
“Young people on campus have both aspirations and confusion about their future, but most of us have rejected setting ourselves up in chains to waste opportunities and challenges,” a postgraduate student told the Global Times. “It’s no use running away. I have to ‘stand up’ and face the reality sooner or later.”
32. What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 1 mean
A. Warned. B. Punished. C. Amused. D. Touched.
33. What might have caused the “lying down” lifestyle among the young
A. Improvements in living conditions.
B. Growing pressure from family and social life.
C. Increasing material possessions from families.
D. Temporary adjustment to failure in competitions.
34. What’s the scholar’s attitude toward the “lying down” group
A. Understanding. B. Intolerant. C. Supportive. D. Unclear.
35. What can be inferred about the young generation from the text
A. They never really drop their responsibilities.
B. They really enjoy the “lying down” lifestyle.
C. They find their dreams far beyond their reach.
D. They would rather escape than take challenges.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. A 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。低物欲、低消费、拒绝工作、拒绝结婚、拒绝生孩子的“躺平”生活方式，最近引起了许多年轻人的共鸣，他们渴望在这个快节奏、竞争激烈的社会中停下来喘口气。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“The idea of low material desire, low consumption and refusing to work, marry and have children(低物质欲望，低消费，拒绝工作，结婚和生育的观念)…”对这种生活方式和“…many young Chinese who are eager to take pause to breathe in this fast-paced and highly-competitive society(在这个快节奏、竞争激烈的社会中，渴望停下来喘口气的许多年轻人)”年轻一代的生存状态的描述，可知，年轻人对这种观念是认同并受其影响的，划线词意为“触动，影响”。故选D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Many millennials and generation Zs complained to the Global Times that burdens, including work stress, family disputes and financial strains, have pushed them “against the wall”.(许多千禧一代和Z一代向《环球时报》抱怨说，包括工作压力、家庭琐事和经济压力在内的负担把他们逼到了“绝境”)”可知，来自家庭和社会生活的压力越来越大导致了年轻人“躺平”的生活方式。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段““Instead of always following the ‘virtues’ of struggle, endure and sacrifice to bear the stresses, they prefer a temporary lying down as catharsis and adjustment,” said a scholar. “It is no wonder that some young people, under the growing pressures from child-raising to paying the mortgage today, would try to live in a simple way and leave the worries behind.”(一位学者说：“他们不总是遵循斗争、忍耐和牺牲的‘美德’来承受压力，而是喜欢暂时躺下，作为宣泄和调整。难怪一些年轻人在今天从抚养孩子到支付抵押贷款的压力下，会试图以一种简单的方式生活，并把担忧抛在脑后。”)”可推知，学者对“躺平”群体的态度是理解。故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“But in fact, lying down is not entirely comfortable. Young people who lie down always feel guilty about their constant loss of morale far beyond their reach.(但事实上，躺平并不完全舒服。躺平的年轻人总是为自己的士气不断丧失而感到内疚)”以及最后一段““Young people on campus have both aspirations and confusion about their future, but most of us have rejected setting ourselves up in chains to waste opportunities and challenges,” a postgraduate student told the Global Times. “It’s no use running away. I have to ‘stand up’ and face the reality sooner or later.”(一名研究生在接受《环球时报》采访时表示：“校园里的年轻人对未来既有抱负，也有困惑，但我们大多数人都不愿把自己束缚起来，浪费机会和挑战。逃跑是没有用的。我迟早要‘站起来’面对现实。”)”可推知，年轻一代从未真正放下自己的责任。故选A。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Have you ever got a lot done only to find that you were not any closer to your main objective (目标) What I’m talking about is spending too much of your time doing things you think are important but really aren’t.
I remember doing a lot of little useless things in my days as a sales person. The main key to becoming good at sales is to spend the majority of your time selling. ____36____ But what did I spend my time doing I organized my desk, filed papers, made contact sheets, set appointments with non-decision makers, learn more sales skills, etc. ____37____
____38____ The problem is that many people get into the habit of taking busy action, things that just keep you busy instead of bringing you closer to your goals.
____39____ First, you need to figure out the two or three things that are the most important to your achievement. Then, schedule out your time so that you are spending at least 70% of your time dealing with those things. Anything that isn’t part of those important things should be pushed to the end of the day or not be worked on at all if possible.
Being able to focus your actions on doing the few things that make the biggest impact on obtaining your end result is a skill. ____40____ Your goals will be achieved faster and your life will improve greatly. Continue wasting your time on doing a lot of things that don’t matter and you’ll probably be where you are now a year from today and that’s a regret you can do without.
A. So what should you do about this
B. That’s something a second grader could figure out.
C. Yet keeping focused is often easier said than done.
D. It’s as important to work smart as it is to work hard.
E. Needless to say, I failed at being a sales person.
F. Once mastered, it will put you ahead of the majority of people.
G. One of the keys to success that you probably already know is to take action.
【答案】36. B 37. E 38. G 39. A 40. F
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。作者结合自己作销售的经历介绍了如何实现自己的目标。
【36题详解】
根据上文“I remember doing a lot of little useless things in my days as a sales person. The main key to becoming good at sales is to spend the majority of your time selling.(我记得我做销售的时候做过很多没用的小事情。擅长销售的关键是把你的大部分时间花在销售上)”可知，上文说明了做销售的关键，本句应承接上文对此进行评价：这是一个二年级学生都能理解的事情，并与下一句“But what did I spend my time doing ”（但我把时间花在了什么上呢？）形成转折，故B选项“这是一个二年级学生都能理解的事情”符合语境，故选B。
【37题详解】
根据上文“But what did I spend my time doing I organized my desk, filed papers, made contact sheets, set appointments with non-decision makers, learn more sales skills, etc.(但我把时间花在了什么上呢？我整理我的桌子，整理文件，制作联系表，与非决策者约定时间，学习更多的销售技巧，等等)”可知，作者并没有把大部分时间花在销售上，所以最后是失败。故E选项“不用说，我做销售失败了”符合语境，故选E。
【38题详解】
根据后文“The problem is that many people get into the habit of taking busy action, things that just keep you busy instead of bringing you closer to your goals.(问题是许多人养成了忙碌的习惯，这些事情只会让你忙碌，而不是让你更接近你的目标)”可知，后文提到了问题是许多人养成了忙碌的习惯，这不会更接近目标，可知本句是在说明接近目标、取得成功的做法：采取行动。故G选项“你可能已经知道，成功的关键之一就是采取行动。”符合语境，故选G。
【39题详解】
根据后文“First, you need to figure out the two or three things that are the most important to your achievement. Then, schedule out your time so that you are spending at least 70% of your time dealing with those things. Anything that isn’t part of those important things should be pushed to the end of the day or not be worked on at all if possible.(首先，你需要弄清楚对你的成就最重要的两到三件事。然后，安排好你的时间，这样你至少要花70%的时间来处理这些事情。任何与这些重要事情无关的事情都应该推到最后，或者如果可能的话就不要再做了)”可知，后文介绍了实现目标的具体步骤，故A选项“那么你该怎么做呢？”符合语境，故选A。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Being able to focus your actions on doing the few things that make the biggest impact on obtaining your end result is a skill.(能够将你的行动集中在对你的最终结果产生最大影响的少数事情上是一种技能)”以及后文“Your goals will be achieved faster and your life will improve greatly. Continue wasting your time on doing a lot of things that don’t matter and you’ll probably be where you are now a year from today and that’s a regret you can do without.(你的目标会更快地实现，你的生活也会大大改善。继续浪费你的时间在那些无关紧要的事情上，你可能会在一年后的今天成为现在的样子，这是一个你可以不后悔的遗憾)”可知，上文提到了一项技能，推测本句承接上文说明这一技能的作用：一旦掌握，你就会领先于大多数人。故F选项“一旦掌握，你就会领先于大多数人”符合语境，故选F。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了受人尊敬的西瓜专家——吴明珠院士。2018年以来，中国成为世界上最大的西瓜生产国和消费国。而现年92岁的吴明珠是使这一切成为可能的无名英雄。
【56题详解】
考查现在完成时。句意：2018年以来，中国成为世界上最大的西瓜生产国和消费国。结合句中since 2018可知，主句的时态为现在完成时。句子主语“China”为单数，所以此处填has been，故填has been。
【57题详解】
考查不定式。句意：公平地说，人们餐桌上每天供应的80% 左右的西瓜都是吴明珠和她的团队60多年努力的结果。此处使用了固定句式：It is fair to do...“做某事是公平的。”it为形式主语，不定式 to do为真正的主语，所以此处填to say。故填to say。
【58题详解】
考查动名词。句意：经过两年的申请失败后，1955年吴明珠女士实现了她在新疆开始职业生涯的梦想。短语：succeed in doing sth.“成功做某事”，doing为动名词作宾语，结合句中提示，所以此处用realizing，故填realizing。
【59题详解】
考查反身代词。句意：从那以后，她一直致力于种植甜瓜。当宾语和主语为同一物时，宾语要用反身代词。空处在句中为宾语，和主语意义一致，都表示吴明珠女士，所以此处用反身代词herself，故填herself。
【60题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：吴女士种植优质甜瓜的努力在1973年得到了回报，那一年她在海南建立了一个淡季种植基地。分析可知，“　5　　she set up an offseason growing base inHainan”为非限制性定语从句，先行词为1973，在从句中作时间状语，所以此处用关系副词when，故填when。
【61题详解】
考查副词。句意：多年频繁往返于新疆和海南之间，通过反季节种植，吴培育了2万多个中国新种子品种。副词修饰动词，此处用副词修饰动词“going and returning”，故填frequently。
【62题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：同上。kind“种类”为可数名词，结合前文“more than 20,000”可知，此处指复数含义。故填kinds。
【63题详解】
考查冠词。句意：1999年她成为中国工程院院士，2004年成为三亚荣誉市民。member“成员”为可数名词，此处为单数含义，结合主语“she”，指她成为了一名中国工程院院士。，member的首个音素为辅音，所以用不定冠词a，故填a。
【64题详解】
考查形容词。句意：现在她患有老年痴呆症，吴常常认不出以前的同事，甚至连家人都认不出来。.短语：be able to do“能做……”，结合句前“Now suffering from Alzheimer’s （阿尔兹海默）disease”可知，吴明珠女士现在患有阿尔茨海默病，所以此处指她现在不能认出她以前的同事甚至是家人。所以用形容词unable，故填unable。
【65题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：然而，她的西瓜工作的记忆仍然在她的脑海中。空处在句中为谓语，结合前文“now”可知，此处的时态用一般现在时。句子主语“the memory of her melon work”为单数含义，所以谓语用单数。故填remains。

My Dad’s Best Flower
I remember my first home was a small apartment on the second floor with a lovely and spacious balcony. When my mom was busy in the kitchen, she let me stay on the balcony watching the kids playing in the street. On that balcony I played sometimes with my elder sister, Maria. She was seven years old and when my mom was absent, she was like a mother to me. The balcony was a great hobby place for my father. After his work he used to grow carnations (康乃馨) in flower boxes. His carnations were red, pink and white, and everyone appreciated them for their beauty.
He took care of them with so much love and devotion. He dealt carefully with his flowers like a mother taking care of her baby. Many times I sat on the floor of the balcony for hours observing him and his lovely flowers with patience. He was always doing something on that balcony. He was watering them every day, cleaning the balcony floor, changing the potting soil and when the stems were thick, strong and high enough, he started his improvement operation attentively like a doctor.
My dad took a tiny knife and with his left hand he held the stem of the carnation and measured the height. Then he made a small mark on the stem with his finger. Afterwards he made a sharp cut with the knife, just enough to fit in again of barley (插穗的芽). Then he bandaged the stem with a small bandage. His job was then to water the plants and to take care of them. “No one should touch them,” he said to Mom. Every day, when he came home from work he went straight to the balcony.
Mom used to tell us, “Do not touch Daddy’s flowers.” For us it was a fascinating experience to watch how the small stems were growing and making flowers. When the carnations had grown big enough, my dad enjoyed watching them every day. We the kids did too.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1：
One day, my elder sister, who loved Dad very much, had a great idea.

Paragraph 2：
When my dad arrived, he went as usual, straight to the balcony and saw his flowers lying on the floor like dead animals.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】A possible version:
Paragraph 1：
One day, my elder sister, who loved Dad very much, had a great idea. She proposed us to pick the best out of the carnations so that dad could appreciate it forever than have to plant it hard. We went to the balcony, hoping to select out the best and most lovely one. While doing so, however, Maria accidentally fell, bruising her knees. What was worse, many flowers were also knocked down, leaving the balcony in a mess and the majority of the flowers out of shape. Despite this, we managed to pick the very flowers we wanted and waited nervously and uneasily for the father’s arrival and his response.
Paragraph 2：
When my dad arrived, he went as usual, straight to the balcony and saw his flowers lying on the floor like dead animals. In no time, he got annoyed and stormed into our room, questioning us in glare who it was that made such a mess of his flowers. Instead of crying, brave Maria held out the flowers and explained what we meant to do and how it ended up this way. She was afraid that dad might punish her, but at the same time she hoped that dad would smile at our warm actions. Deeply touched, dad held the flowers tightly and gently, and immediately gathered us into his arms, saying, “You are my best flowers!”
【解析】
【分析】这篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知，作者家有一个阳台，这个阳台是他和他姐姐的玩耍的小天地，但更是爸爸的养植他心爱花的地方。爸爸每天下班回家就会去阳台那里照料他的花朵。
【详解】续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：一天，爱着爸爸的姐姐有了一个好的主意……，所以应该写姐姐的这个主意是什么，应该怎么做来实现这个想法。要详细描述姐姐有这样想法的原因，姐姐和我怎么做，做了什么来实现这个姐姐的这个想法。第二段开头是：爸爸回家后，像往常一样直奔阳台，看到了他的花像死去的动物一样躺在那里……，这里应该写爸爸看到阳台的一片狼藉后做了些什么。爸爸看到阳台的花被弄的一片狼藉，感到十分愤怒，找到我和姐姐质问我们为什么会变成这样，勇敢的姐姐解释了这样做的初衷，但因为意外导致现在这样的状况并向爸爸道歉，当他们忐忑地等待着爸爸的责骂时，爸爸却是感动地把他们揽在怀里深情地说道：“你们就是我最好的花朵。”
续写时要求根据所给文章和段落开头，写一篇完整的短文，且所续写短文的词数应为150左右。按要求完成写作任务。
【点睛】本文描写详略得当，使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如：propose sb to do，what was worse，in a mess，storm into等 高级词汇；目的状语从句so that dad could appreciate it forever than have to plant it hard， what we meant to do and how it ended up this way.两个并列宾语从句，questioning us in glare who it was that made such a mess of his flowers. 非谓语引导的伴随状语。高二英语十月月考

By 2019, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) had founded for 70 years. Over the past decades, many people had made great contributions to the country’s development. On Sept 17, Chinese President Xi Jinping signed a presidential decree (主席令) to award (授予) national medals and honorary titles to forty-two of these contributors, including both Chinese citizens and foreigners. Eight people received the Medal of the Republic, six foreigners received the Friendship Medals, and 28 people received the National Honorary Titles (国家荣誉称号). Now let’s learn about four of the persons who got the Medal of the Republic (共和国勋章).
Shen Jilan is a lifelong lawmaker. In 1954, she became a deputy (代表) to the National People’s Congress. Since then, she has served at all 13 NPCs. She came up with the idea of equal pay for equal work between men and women. The idea was written into China’s first constitution (宪法) in 1954. Sun Jiadong made great contributions toward developing Chinese satellite technology and space exploration. He was the chief designer of both the Beidou navigation (导航) system and China’s lunar exploration project.
Zhang Fuqing was a soldier in the People’s Liberation Army during the Liberation War. He was twice awarded the title of Combat Hero. In 1955, he volunteered to work in a remote (偏远的) county in Hubei province and has been helping poor people there ever since. Tu Youyou, a scientist, is known for winning the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2015. She got inspiration from traditional Chinese medicine theories and discovered artemisinin, a medicine that can be used to cure malaria. Her finding has saved the lives of millions.
24. According to the material, the four people mentioned all received________.
A. the Nobel Prize B. the Medal of the Republic
C. the Friendship Medals D. the National Honorary Titles
25. _______ might know how to use a gun.
A. Shen Jilan B. Sun Jiadong C. Zhang Fuqing D. Tu Youyou
26. It can be seen from the material that________.
A. malaria is a kind of illness
B. Sun Jiadong only designed the Beidou navigation system
C. Shen Jilan’s 13 ideas were written into China’s constitution
D. Zhang Fuqing was twice awarded the the National Honorary Titles
27. In which field did Sun Jiadong make the most contribution
A. Agriculture B. Education C. Economics D. Space exploration
C
The Moon is attracting much attention these days as NASA is ready for its Artemis I launch and preparing for more to follow. The mission objectives are clear: develop a sustainable presence on its surface and pave the way to go to Mars.
And then what What’s the next great leap in humans’ quest for the secrets of the universe When it comes to the near future scientific exploration, there are a few areas of the solar system that will be receiving some special attention.
First off, there’s Venus, a planet which was a relative paradise with oceans and a pleasant atmosphere. Something went terribly wrong there a few billion years ago, and NASA has scheduled a series of missions to explore what exactly is going on there.
At the other end are the gas giants. Several of the satellites of Jupiter and Saturn are covered in thick sheets of ice, and underneath that ice sit oceans of liquid water. NASA has missions planned to investigate those mysterious worlds, hunting for any signs of possible life hidden deep within.
As for us humans, Mars is certainly the grand prize in the coming decades. If we have the adequate drive and funds, we can establish a semi-permanent presence on the red planet, keeping crews working and studying in person on the Martian surface. The other planets of our solar system are not so suitable for people to settle on. Mercury is too close to the Sun for comfort and too far away from the Earth.
Over the coming decades, humans expect to see a rise of “space hotels”, set up for visiting tourists and scientific explorations. Naturally, turning the space rock into a habitat for humans is not very practical considering our current level of technological maturity, but in my best estimation, it’s the next easiest thing to accomplish after the Moon and Mars, of course.
28. What does the underlined word “quest” probably mean in the second paragraph
A. Request. B. Explanation.
C. Question. D. Search.
29. Which is the least likely to be explored in the next decades according to the passage
A. Mars. B. Venus.
C. Mercury. D. Gas giants.
30. What’s the author’s attitude towards the “space hotels”
A. Doubtful. B. Hopeful.
C. Critical. D. Unconcerned.
31. What’s the passage mainly about
A. The launch of Artemis I.
B. The secrets of the solar system.
C. The missions of NASA.
D. The areas of the future universe exploration.
D
The idea of low material desire, low consumption and refusing to work, marry and have children, concluded as a “lying down” lifestyle, recently struck a chord with many young Chinese who are eager to take pause to breathe in this fast-paced and highly-competitive society.
Many millennials (千禧一代) and generation Zs complained to the Global Times that burdens, including work stress, family disputes and financial strains, have pushed them “against the wall”. They said they hate the “involution(内卷),” joking that they would rather give up some of what they have than get trapped in an endless competition against peers.
“Instead of always following the ‘virtues’ of struggle, endure and sacrifice to bear the stresses, they prefer a temporary lying down as catharsis (宣泄) and adjustment,” said a scholar. “It is no wonder that some young people, under the growing pressures from child-raising to paying the mortgage (按揭) today, would try to live in a simple way and leave the worries behind.”
Interestingly, the majority of millennials and Gen Zs reached by the Global Times, who claim to be big fans of the lying down philosophy, acknowledged that they only accept a temporary lying down as a short rest. It is true that with the great improvement of living conditions, some Chinese youth have partially lost the spirit of hardship and are not willing to bear too much hard work. But in fact, lying down is not entirely comfortable. Young people who lie down always feel guilty about their constant loss of morale (士气) far beyond their reach.
“Young people on campus have both aspirations and confusion about their future, but most of us have rejected setting ourselves up in chains to waste opportunities and challenges,” a postgraduate student told the Global Times. “It’s no use running away. I have to ‘stand up’ and face the reality sooner or later.”
32. What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 1 mean
A. Warned. B. Punished. C. Amused. D. Touched.
33. What might have caused the “lying down” lifestyle among the young
A. Improvements in living conditions.
B. Growing pressure from family and social life.
C. Increasing material possessions from families.
D. Temporary adjustment to failure in competitions.
34. What’s the scholar’s attitude toward the “lying down” group
A Understanding. B. Intolerant. C. Supportive. D. Unclear.
35. What can be inferred about the young generation from the text
A. They never really drop their responsibilities.
B. They really enjoy the “lying down” lifestyle.
C. They find their dreams far beyond their reach.
D. They would rather escape than take challenges.

My Dad’s Best Flower
I remember my first home was a small apartment on the second floor with a lovely and spacious balcony. When my mom was busy in the kitchen, she let me stay on the balcony watching the kids playing in the street. On that balcony I played sometimes with my elder sister, Maria. She was seven years old and when my mom was absent, she was like a mother to me. The balcony was a great hobby place for my father. After his work he used to grow carnations (康乃馨) in flower boxes. His carnations were red, pink and white, and everyone appreciated them for their beauty.
He took care of them with so much love and devotion. He dealt carefully with his flowers like a mother taking care of her baby. Many times I sat on the floor of the balcony for hours observing him and his lovely flowers with patience. He was always doing something on that balcony. He was watering them every day, cleaning the balcony floor, changing the potting soil and when the stems were thick, strong and high enough, he started his improvement operation attentively like a doctor.
My dad took a tiny knife and with his left hand he held the stem of the carnation and measured the height. Then he made a small mark on the stem with his finger. Afterwards he made a sharp cut with the knife, just enough to fit in again of barley (插穗的芽). Then he bandaged the stem with a small bandage. His job was then to water the plants and to take care of them. “No one should touch them,” he said to Mom. Every day, when he came home from work he went straight to the balcony.
Mom used to tell us, “Do not touch Daddy’s flowers.” For us it was a fascinating experience to watch how the small stems were growing and making flowers. When the carnations had grown big enough, my dad enjoyed watching them every day. We the kids did too.
