Have you ever seen the auroras (极光) in the sky? Cosmic radiation (宇宙辐射) creates these pretty lights in the North and South Pole areas.It seems that cosmic radiation is a beautiful gift from space.But for some people, it can be dangerous.
A 53-year-old fight attendant in South Korea, who spent about 1,022 hours flying each year, passed away due to cancer.A South Korean court connected his death to great exposure (暴露) to cosmic radiation.During his career, nearly half of his flights crossed the areas in and around the North Pole, where cosmic radiation is extremely strong.
① Cosmic radiation from space is hitting Earth nonstop, coming from both the sun and other stars in the Milky Way.
② Earth’s magnetic field (磁场) and atmosphere (大气层) protect us from most cosmic radiation.The magnetic field is strongest near the equator and weakest at the poles.People living at higher latitudes (纬度), like in Heilongjiang province, are exposed to a little bit more cosmic radiation than those living at lower latitudes, like in Hainan province.Also, when you go higher in an airplane, the thin atmosphere increases exposure to cosmic radiation.
③ For flight attendants crossing polar areas and for astronauts in space, cosmic radiation can create health risks.NASA reported that the radiation exposure faced by astronauts spending six months in space is the same as having 1,000 chest X-rays.
④ However, what makes cosmic radiation dangerous also makes it useful.The light speed and energy of cosmic radiation have provided wonderful ideas for treating tumors (肿瘤).Scientists can now produce man-made radiation similar to cosmic radiation.Compared to the present ways of treating tumors, it can kill tumors better with less damage to healthy parts of the body around them.
34.The death of the flight attendant is believed to have something to do with ______.
A.long flight hours
B.lower latitudes
C.strong cosmic radiation
D.a family history of cancer
35.The sentence “Luckily, our planet is well-protected.” should be put in ______.
A.① B.② C.③ D.④
36.Astronauts are exposed to more cosmic radiation because ______.
a.they are closer to the sun and stars
b.they are at higher latitudes in space
c.space suit cannot prevent cosmic radiation
d.there is not much atmosphere protecting them
A.ac B.bc C.ad D.cd
37.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Cosmic radiation is very dangerous.
B.People can produce cosmic radiation.
C.Earth is filled with cosmic radiation.
D.Cosmic radiation helps fight cancer.

On Sept.7, famous Chinese archaeologist (考古学家) Fan Jinshi, 85, was awarded by UNESCO for her contribution (贡献) to the protection of the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang.
Called the “daughter of Dunhuang”, her story with the caves started 60 years ago.In 1963, Fan, then a 25-year-old Peking University graduate, had the chance to work at the Mogao Caves, a place she had wanted to explore for a long time.
“Seeing Dunhuang for the first time was breathtaking.But only when truly staying here did I realize that inside the caves is a world of divine beauty while outside is a land of blowing sand and yellow earth,” Fan told Gansu Daily.
Back in those days, the Mogao Caves were almost completely cut off from the world.Fan and her coworkers had to live in mud houses and drink salty water.They stayed inside the Caves to copy murals (壁画) and do whatever they could to protect and restore them.
In 2011 after 40 years of hard work, a report on 10 Mogao Caves by Fan’s team was finally published.It was known as China’s first professional report on cave archaeology.
As time passed.Fan found a serious problem.The increasing number of tourists visiting Dunhuang might harm the caves, causing the murals inside to fade.Something needed to be done to preserve Dunhuang’s heritage.
In the late 1980s, Fan stumbled upon computer technology by chance.She realized that this might preserve the Mogao Caves forever.After over 30 years of exploration, the Dunhuang Academy built a digital database to protect cultural relics (文物) there, allowing Dunhuang’s art to live forever and to step out of the caves to meet the world.
“In my whole life, I’ve only done one thing: protect and promote the world cultural heritage of the Mogao Caves,” she told People’s Daily.“My heart belongs to Dunhuang.”
38.What can we learn about Fan from the passage?
A.She is a woman of great determination (决心).
B.Her health was affected by her hard work.
C.She began her work at the Mogao Caves at 83.
D.She studied archaeology at Nanjing University.
39.What was Fan’s first impression (印象) of Dunhuang?
A.It was an amazing place.
B.The environment was terrible.
C.It was in great need of protection.
D.The working conditions were better than expected.
40.What pushed Fan to set up a digital database for the Mogao Caves?
A.Her interest in computer technology.
B.Her dream of spreading Chinese culture.
C.The increasing risk of harm to the caves.
D.The need to publish the professional report.
41.What does Fan think of her work in Dunhuang?
A.It has won her great respect.
B.It has been her lifelong career.
C.It has influenced many young people.
D.It has helped with cultural exchange.
D
Every culture has a special way of eating.In parts of Africa, people eat with their fingers.North Americans and Europeans use forks, knives, and spoons to carry out the same task.In Asia, chopsticks are the top choice.
You might think it’s easy to use chopsticks, but actually it’s not as simple as it first appears.I learned this lesson a couple of years ago.I had applied for a job with a Chinese-Canadian company in Vancouver.As you know, the Chinese are famous for their food and they get a simple pleasure from eating.
So I was not surprised when my new boss invited me out to lunch to celebrate my new job in a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown.I was nervous.I knew we would be using chopsticks, and while I had tried many times to master the skill, I had failed miserably in every try.Would they laugh at me? Would I make a complete fool of myself?
I went home that evening and cooked some rice and chicken and I spent the next hour learning how to use chopsticks.Try as I might, I could not hold the food with my chopsticks.
I called a friend for help.She patiently explained the proper way of holding them between the thumb, first and middle fingers.“It’s not that hard,” she said.“That’s easy for you to say,” I replied.“You’ve been eating with chopsticks all your life.It’s natural for you!”
I didn’t get much sleep that evening.I tossed and turned in bed, worrying about lunch the next day.The following morning, I could hardly control my anxiety.It was difficult to get any work done.At noon, I left with my boss and two co-workers and headed to the restaurant.
We were seated at an excellent table.My heart was pounding, but then I noticed a strange thing.Instead of the customary chopsticks, each of us had knives, forks, and spoons.
I was confused at first, but then, it hit me.My boss knew that I would have trouble with the chopsticks.He wanted to save me from embarrassment, so he had called ahead and arranged for us to be served with knives and forks.
In a second, I made up my mind.I asked the server to bring some chopsticks for me.When they arrived, I took them in my hand and carefully manoeuvred my fingers around them.
I looked over at my boss.He smiled as I grasped the chopsticks and took hold of a bit of rice and meat, holding on tightly as I tried to get it to my mouth.My fingers slipped and the food fell back to the plate.However, I didn’t give up, and eventually managed to eat my entire meal using only chopsticks.
In the end, I wasn’t embarrassed at all.I’m glad my new boss was so considerate.And I’m really glad I decided to ask for chopsticks.
We go out for lunch often in this new company.We always have a good laugh about that day.I have now mastered the chopstick skill.And you know, it really isn’t that difficult once you get used to it.
42.Why was the writer have difficulty falling asleep?
A.She was too excited about the new job.
B.She was afraid to give a poor impression.
C.Her friend didn’t explain clearly how to use chopsticks.
D.She was going to eat in a Chinese restaurant for the first time.
43.What is the writer’s boss like?

B.Humorous but nervous.
C.Strict and nervous.
D.Generous and humorous.
44.What does the underlined word “embarrassment” mean?
A.A situation which causes problems for someone.
B.A place where people get unhappy or uncomfortable.
C.A kind of food which must be eaten with a fork and a knife.
D.A restaurant where people can eat food from different areas.
45.What can be the best title for the passage?

B.Practice Makes Perfect
C.Eating with the Boss

Do animals communicate with each other?
This question came to my mind the other day while I was sitting outside.I heard some birds making what sounded like a distress call (求救信号).I looked around and saw a cat crouched low in the grass, ready to attack the birds.
But the cat was too late.The birds suddenly flew to s 61_____.The loud calls had alerted them to the danger.I did some r 62_____and, to my amazement, I learned that all animals communicate.They don’t use language, but they do send signals and messages to each other, mainly t 63_____ sounds, smells, and body language.
The alarm call is one way that sounds are used for communication.When a predator (捕食者) is near, animals send out a warning sound.Those who h 64_____ it run, hide, or gather to fight the invader.Birds sing beautiful songs to attract mates during breeding season.Whales (鲸) are well known for their a 65_____ to communicate with complex vocal sounds.Humans don’t understand these sounds, but in their own social groups, whales understand w 66_____ they’re saying to each other.
Smell is another popular m 67_____of animal communication.Simple animals such as the single-celled amoeba give off a chemical that other amoebae recognize as a signal for reproduction.Some animals send out a strong smell, which is c 68_____ as a warning signal to keep other animals staying away from them.For example, skunks release a terrible odour when they feel threatened.
There are many e 69_____ of animals that use body language to communicate.Chimpanzees touch hands when they meet.When angry, gorillas stick out their tongues.Think of a happy dog wagging its tail.Even humans understand this form of dog body language.
Humans have d 70_____ a complex system to communicate with each other.But if you watch other animals for a while, you quickly come to appreciate that they too have ways of getting their messages across.

The 1st Student (Youth) Games held its rock climbing competition from Nov.8 to 11.The host Guangxi became the biggest winner in climbing, winning three golds, three silvers and one bronze (铜牌).All the medalists were from Mashan county in Nanning.
Mashan county was once poor because of its mountainous environment.But it has given the local climbers an advantage.Many students climb mountains and trees from an early age, building strong physical fitness.Among them is 15-year-old Huang Xinyi, who won the women’s speed climbing championship.
In 2017, the first “rock climbing characteristic town” in China was set up in Mashan county.“To bring the sport closer to more students, 23 primary and middle schools in the county have climbing spaces, and each school has one rock climbing class each week,” Huang Xujin, head of Mashan county’s Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television, Sports and Tourism, told Teens.“A group of professional climbers, including coaches from the national climbing team and excellent climbing athletes, have been hired to guide athletes in the school,” he added.
Huang Xinyi used to love climbing tees.When she was in the 5th grade of primary school, she became interested in rock climbing and decided to take part.At school, she usually trains from 6:30 to 9:00 in the evening.
For her, climbing is a window to a wider world.“Because of climbing, I stepped out of the mountains for the first time.Competing with climbers across the country helps me become a better athlete.I hope I can achieve even greater results in more countries,” she told Teens.
Mashan county has also set up a special educational pathway (路径) for children with skills in rock climbing.“Students with good rock climbing skills can directly enter the best middle school in the county,” Huang Xujin said.
