Lieutenant Colonel (中校) Song Lingdon g will soon become one of the first astronauts from the post-1990s
generation in China to start a space journey.
Born in August 1990 to a farmer’s family in Caoxian county, Shandong province, Song joined the PLA Air
Force in September 2008 and was sent to learn flying. In the first months at the flight school, the young man had
bad scores in his physical tests. He also had a tough time in his first flights due to airsickness.

flight exam. After graduation, Song became a pilot.
In the spring of 2018, Song was informed that the PLA Astronaut Department would start selecting new
astronauts. Without hesitation, he made the decision to apply. He mentioned that his strong curiosity about space

In September 2020, he was selected as one of the third group of astronauts. He soon realized that a successful
astronaut really needs calmness and team spirit. He learned to slow down and even started going fishing to improve

spaceflight and can be depended upon.

You have two basic types of memory: short-term memory and long-term memory. Things you see or hear first
enter your short-term memory. Very little of this information passes on into your long-term memory. Does this
mean you have a bad memory Not at all.
Your short-term memory has a certain job. Its job is to store information for a few seconds only. Your
short-term memory is at work when you look up a phone number. call the number, and then forget it. You
remembered the number just long enough to use it. Then it disappeared from your memory. That’s really a good
thing. Imagine if your memory held every number, every face, and every word you ever knew!
However, some information is important to remember for a longer time. Then it must pass from hort-term to
long-term memory. Sometimes we tell ourselves to remember something. We might also ract ice it: “OK, don’t
forget: 555-1212, 555-1212.” Usually, we don’t even think about it. Our brain makes the decision for us. It decides
to store the information or let it go.
The brain seems to make the decision by asking two questions:
Does the information have an effect on our emotions That is, does it make us happy, sad, excited, or upset
Does the information concern something we already know, so our brain can store it with something already
there
An answer of “Yes” means that the new information enters long-term memory. That means the brain creates
new connections among brain cells.
Information disappears when connections among brain cells become weak. They get weak if time passes and
the connections are not used. That’s why it is good to read your lecture notes soon after the class. To keep the
memory of something strong. think of it often. For example, look at those lecture notes the next day. Look at them
the day after that, too. Every time you think about something. the connections in the brain get stronger. Then it is
easier to remember the information when you need it.
28. When is your short-term memory at work
A. You look up an important phone number and repeat it again and again.
B. You read English words every morning.
C. What you’ve learned is reviewed after class.
D. The impression of a stranger soon disappears after you meet with him / her.
29. What information enters long-term memory according to the passage
A. Information concerning something unknown.
B. Information affecting our emotions.
C. Information creating brain cells.
D. Information helping to make decisions.
30. How can we prevent the long-term memory of lecture notes from becoming weak
A. By asking the two questions.
B. By looking at them next month.
C. By referring to them regularly.
D. By putting them away after class.
31. Where is the passage probably taken from
A. A popular magazine. B. A science fiction. C. A news story. D. A book review.
D
Wildlife populations around the world are facing great falls, according to new numbers that have urged
environmental campaigners to call for urgent action to rescue the natural world.
The 2022 Living Planet Ind ex (LPI), tracking global biodiversity, produced by the Zoological Society of
London (ZSL), shows that wildlife populations of mammals, birds and fish have seen an average decrease of 69
percent since 1970, faster than previous predictions.
Mark Wright of WWF says the scale of decline is alarming and continues to worsen. “We are not seeing any
really positive signs that we are beginning to bend the curve of nature,” he says. At the same time, some of the most
biodiverse regions of the world are seeing the greatest falls in wildlife. Habitat loss is the largest driver of wildlife
loss in all regions around the world, followed by species overkilling by illegal hunting and fishing.
In December, governments from around the world will gather in Montreal. Canada. for the COP 15
Biodiversity Framework, a much-delayed summit that aims to agree a set of new targets intended to stop the loss of
animals, plants and habitats globally by 2030. “We need governments to take actions to ensure that those goals deal
with the complicated combined threats of climate change and biodiversity,” says Robin Freeman of ZSL.
But some researchers are critical of the LPI’s use of a headline figure (主要指标) of showing drops, warning it
is easy to misunderstanding. The findings don’t mean all species or populations worldwide are in decline. In fact.
approximately half the populations show a stable or increasing trend, and half show a declining trend. “I think a
more appropriate and useful way to look at it is to focus on specific species or populations,” says Ritchie at Our
World in Data.
But Wright says the LPI is a tool that accurately reflects the findings of biodiversity measurements. “Some of
those figures show that there is something going really very badly wrong,” says Wright.
32. What can we infer from the 2022 Living Planet Index
A. We have known how to protect the endangered species.
B. Urgent measures should be taken to save global biodiversity.
C. There are positive signs that humans are changing the nature.
D. The decline of wildlife populations is less rapid than expected.
33. What is the main reason for wildlife populations falling
A. The loss of habitat. B. The warming climate.
C. Illegal hunting. D. Species overkilling.
34. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. Specific species should be ignored. B. The LPI shows all species are declining.
C. Most populations are stable or increasing. D. The LPI’s decline figure can be misleading.
35. What does Mark Wright think of LPI
A. Outdated. B. Functional. C. Simple. D. Unique.

How to Find Your Purpose in Life
Many people are living life without knowing what they want out of life. They live life not for themselves. but
because of work and survival needs. When you are not living a purposeful life and you have no idea what you are
meant to do in this world. you will feel lost. 36

it. 37 The better you understand yourself, the more you can align (使一致 ) your purpose and live a
meaningful life.
Another method is through exploration and discovery. 38 And this is why most people are not living
their life’s purpose. It doesn’t matter if you try out something and fail in it. What matters most is that you try out
new things to see if they are what you are looking for.
Sometimes, to find your purpose in life, you need to start with your strengths. 39 Your strengths give
you a clear sign of the kind of life you might want to live. Your strengths are what drive your internal motivation.
40 If you are unclear about what makes you happy, just take a piece of paper and list down every
possible activity and thing that makes you happy. Relate the things that make you happy to the purpose of your life.
A. What comes easy to you
B. So how do you find your purpose in life
C. Finding and living a purposeful life is difficult.
D. Find out what makes you most happy and joyful in life.
E. Most people don’t dare to do things that will change their lives.
F. Spend time understanding your feelings, emotions, and mastering yourself.
G. If you’re good at one thing and you love doing it, then, by all means, pursue it in life.

Zena was always the quiet girl in the corner of her senior one classroom. She seldom spoke. avoided looking
at others, and spent most of her free time hiding behind her books. The only thing that made her feel happy was her
old guitar, a gift from her grandpa who had passed away. Every night, after finishing her homework, she would
lock herself in her room and play, letting the soft strings (琴弦) drive away the loneliness in her heart. She never
played in front of anyone-she was afraid that others would judge her, laughing at her mistakes, or that she would
stand out too much. Only her best friend Mia knew this little music secret of hers, having accidentally heard Zena
play one evening. So her music remained a well-kept secret to others, one she didn’t have the courage to share with
the world.
One day, her class announced a school talent show. Hearing the news. Zena felt excited at first but then
decided to give up because she was shy and afraid. But her best friend Mia begged her to join in. “You play so well,
Zena,” Mia said. “Why keep your music to yourself Everyone should hear how nice it is.” Zena shook her head
quickly. “I can’t. What if I do not perform well What if everyone laughs at me ” But Mis didn’t give up. She
visited Zens every day, and encouraged her to try. Little by little. Zena began to change-maybe, she could have a
try.
The weeks before the talent show, Zena was full of worry but she worked hard. She practiced for hours every
day, her fingers hurt from pressing the strings, and she felt nervous all the time. There were moments when she
wanted to give up, thinking her playing would never be good enough. But Mia was always there to cheer her on,
and she remembered her grandpa’s smile. He once told her that music was a gift to share, not to hide, and she
wanted to make him proud.
