A
“Hello, everyone! Welcome to Tiangong Class.” With this greeting, a special lecture began on Tiangong space station about 400 kilometers above Earth on Dec. 9.
Lasting for about an hour, the space lecture was broadcast live to millions of students, showing how they live and work on the space station and performing some interesting experiments that can only be done in space.
This is the second live space lecture in China. In 2013, with the help of two other workmates, Wang gave the country’s first live space lecture to over 60 million schoolchildren across China.
Compared with the class eight years ago, this year’s space lecture is greatly different.
More space to teach
According to Pang Zhihao, a Beijing-based space expert, the “classroom” is bigger. Instead of Tiangong I experimental module(实验舱), this year Wang gave the space lecture in the Tianhe space core module(核心舱), which is the biggest spacecraft developed by China.
▲
The quality of space to ground interaction and communication is also much improved.
The space lecture eight years ago sometimes faced the challenges of the video freezing and an unclear picture, but this year’s lecture is different. Technology has developed a lot. For example, with the help of China’s Tianlian relay satellites(天链中继卫星), the transmission speed has been highly increased and the whole live broadcast has run smoothly.
Bigger curriculum(授课内容)
Along with the technological progress, this year’s space lecture discussed more. Eight years ago, Wang showed students the laws of physics and focused on the interesting phenomenon of weightlessness in space. But this year, biology was added. The astronauts compared the growth and shape of cells in artificial gravity(人工重力) and zero gravity.
Though these space lectures showed various topics, the aim behind the lectures has never changed. According to China Daily, the space lectures aim to “spread knowledge about manned spaceflights and spark enthusiasm for science among young people”.
“The spirit of science in the youth is an important driver of the progress of mankind,” Zhou Jianping, chief designer of China’s manned space program, added. “Space activities can help them build the spirit of pursuing(探讨) science and facing challenges.”
( )1. What didn’t the space lecture show us this time on Dec 9
A. How they live on the space station. B.How they work on the space station.
C.Some interesting experiments that can only be done in space.
D.The interesting phenomenon of gravity on the earth.
( )2. Which one can be the second difference on the blank ▲
Technological development B. Quality of space
C．Challenges of the video freezing D. Smooth live broadcast
( )3. What’s the meaning of the underlined words
产生兴趣 B. 激发热情 C. 提高认知 D. 改变态度
( )4. What can we learn from the article
Chinese aerospace industry has made great progress in the past eight years.
We’ve changed the aim behind the lectures in space.
Biology was added to the lecture in 2013.
The transmission speed has been highly increased except for the video freezing
( )5. What’s the article mainly about
A special lecture began on Tiangong space station.
The differences between the two space lectures
The spirit of science in the youth. D.The aim behind the lectures.

Do video games do harm to our children Today, many children spend a lot of their free time playing games on the Internet. In the UK, 99% of kids aged 8 to 15 play video games every week. This information shows that we must carefully think about the good points and bad points of video games.
For many people, video games are fun. They have bright lights, funny cartoons and exciting stories. Everywhere you look, you can see children playing these games. They play on buses and trains, in restaurants and even at school.
Video games are educational too. They make kids think in a creative way and they have to move their hands and eyes quickly. This can improve the way that a child’s brain works. What’s more, video games make children use their imagination. The player has to do many creative things, like drawing, telling stories and building things. Video games are also a good way to teach children about technology(技术) because they can learn how computers and other devices work while they play.
However, a recent study suggests that video games can also be bad for children. First, children can download many games for free. This means that parents often don’t know if their children are playing violent(暴力的) or scary(恐怖的) games. Second, many children spend too much time playing games on computers and this can lead to health problems. Third, if children spend too much time playing games instead of doing homework, they can have problems at school and get bad grades. Finally, video games can influence children’s social skills. If children spend too much time playing video games by themselves, ▲
In a word, it seems clear that video games have some advantages(优点) and some disadvantages. It is up to parents to know what games their children are playing and how much time they spend on them. Parents should also make sure their children get enough exercise and spend time with other children.
( )6. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refers to ________.
A. kids B. computers C. video games D. parents
( )7. Which disadvantages of video games are mentioned in the passage
result in bad grades b. make kids feel boredc. lead to health problems
d. influence children’s social skills e. cause problems between parents and kids
A. c, d, e B. b, d, e C. a, c, d D. a, b, c
( )8. Which sentence may be the best to fill in the “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 4
A. they might form violent characteristics. B. they might have eye or weight problems.
C. they might not be able to pass the exams at school.
D. they might not know how to play with their friends.
( )9. What’s the structure（结构） of the passage
A. B. C. D.
( )10. Which of the following would the writer agree with
A. Kids can play some violent or scary games for fun.
B. Parents should stop their kids from playing any video games.
C. Parents should make sure their kids spend all the time on schoolwork.
D. Kids can make a timetable for schoolwork, exercise, friends and video games.

How would you feel if your school banned phones in class
In February, the Ministry of Education announced that mobile phones should, in principle（原则上）, be banned in primary and secondary schools. This aims to protect students’ eyesight, make sure they focus on their schoolwork and won’t become addicted（上瘾的）to the Internet and online games.
Xu Xiaohe, a 13-year-old from Zhejiang, is a supporter of the policy. “In fact, my school has never allowed us to bring our mobile phones,” Xu said “It’s a distraction（干扰）from our work. Even adults can’t control themselves, let alone kids like us.”
Li Zihan from Beijing, however, feels differently. The 13-year-old believes that a mobile phone ban is too simplistic（简单化的）for a generation that have grown up with mobile phones. "Students should be taught self-management skills, as well as learn how to use their phones well to help with their studies,” “Li said. “That might be the best way to deal with technology（技术）in modern times.”
For Ge Ziqi, the problem with banning mobile phones has more to do with life outside of school. The 13-year-old Beijinger uses a bike-sharing app every day to travel between her home and school. “Today, phones are used everywhere, from taking a bus to buying food,” she said. “If I can't take my phone with me, I will have to buy my own bicycle.”
Some schools have come up with ideas to solve problems like Ge's. At Shanghai Shatian School, for example, students are asked to put their phones in special lockers during school hours. The students call these lockers the “phone farm” or “phone tarmac”（停机坪）.

It is unusual these years because COVID–19 has brought and will continue 1 (bring) a lot of trouble to the world. So far, it 2 (kill) hundreds of thousands of world people because the researchers haven’t found the ideal medicine to prevent such disease. Sadly, it is slow to receive the medical results after taking the COVID–19 swab (人体化验拭子), especially in some poor countries. It has worried people around the world a lot. 3 (luck), some good news comes from the dogs of Finland, a northern European country. They are using their noses for a different purpose—COVID–19.
This week, dogs which are used to test COVID–19 have started 4 (search) visitors on and out of the planes as part of a research at Finland’s Helsinki – Vantaa airport. Volunteers have trained a team of 15 dogs for the research programme.

“The dogs are very good at testing COVID–19. They make few mistakes, so we come
6 (close) to full success,” she said. “First, the tested visitors should clean their necks with clothes. And then, these clothes will be put in a special bin in front of dogs 7 (smell). It takes only a few minutes to know whether the visitors are caught COVID–19 8 not.
There is enough pleasant news from these cute smart animals, 9 more research still needs to be done to prove the efficiency (有效性) of dog testing.
People are also required to take a medical swab to prove their health when they take part in the research. Timo Aronkyto, head of the airport, said it was possible that the dogs could go around the airport 10 a similar way to the police dogs in the future.
