  The name of our galaxy, the Milky Way, comes from its appearance. It’s a milky white band of glowing light that spreads across the night sky. If you look up at the evening sky, there’s a good chance you will not be able to see what your grandmother saw when she was a little girl. A new study says that nearly 80 percent of people in North America can’t see the Milky Way because of light pollution.

  The most light-polluted country in the world is Singapore where researchers found that people living in the country never have the chance to experience true darkness. Other countries with large percentages of people living under such skies include Qatar, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates.

  Too much light has a direct effect on human physiology and behavior. It can also destroy our sleep cycle. What’s more, it also affects wildlife. For example, baby turtles may not swim into the ocean because of street lights near shorelines

  In the U.S., some communities have been taking action on light pollution but in developing countries, people still want to make bigger, brighter light, like LED lights. They can save energy, but on the other hand they will increase light pollution rapidly in fact.

  There are still people that can remember when they used to be able to see the Milky Way, when they would walk outside at night, but those are becoming fewer and fewer.

  Nighttime natural scenery needs protection just like daytime scenery. Don’t let the Light pollution rob us of the chance to experience the wonder of a natural night sky.

  34. Why do we call galaxy the Milky Way?

  A. Because our galaxy looks like that.

  B. Because we look up at the evening sky.

  C. Because Grandma often tells us the story of it.

  D. Because many people in North America can't see it.

  35. Which of the following countries is the most light-polluted?

  A. Singapore. B. Qatar. C. Kuwait. D. The United Arab Emirates.

  36. The writer talks about baby turtles __________________ .

  A. because the baby turtles are very lovely

  B. because they want to enjoy street lights

  C. to show the bad effect of light pollution

  D. to help the animals to swim into the ocean

  The Daming Temple, known as No.1 Temple East of the Huai River for more than 1,000 years, is famous for mixing different cultures, such as the classic gardens and Buddhism buildings. It stands out on the top of the Shugang Ridge in the northwestern part of Yangzhou.

  The Daming Temple Scenic Spot is made up of three main parts, the temple complex, the Memorial Hall of Master Jian Zhen and the Pingshan Hall.

  The Daming Temple got its name because it was first built during the Daming Period of Liu Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty. Then, in the Sui Dynasty, the emperor had the grand Qiling Tower built in the east of the temple yard. In the Tang Dynasty many poets like Li Bai, Gao Shi, Bai Juyi and Liu Yuxi visited and climbed the tower and wrote poems. In the Tang Dynasty, Master Jian Zhen, head of the Daming Temple, sailed across the sea to Japan to spread Buddhism(佛教) . And he had great influences on Japan. The Pingshan Hall was built in the Northern Song Dynasty when the famous writer Ou Yangxiu was the mayor of Yangzhou. During that time, many famous people gathered in the hall, enjoying the beautiful view outside. Years later, Su Dongpo, Ou Yangxiu’s student, came to Yangzhou. Su Dongpo respected and missed his teacer, so he built the Guilin Hall behind the Pingshan Hall to memorize Ou Yangxiu. The Daming Temple enjoyed its peak fame in the Qing Dynasty when Emperors Qianlong and Kangxi visited Yangzhou several times, touring the Pingshan Hall and the Daming Temple, writing many poems and leaving their handwriting works here.

  38. Where is the Daming Temple?

  A. To the east of Huai River. B. In the south of Yangzhou City.

  B. Behind the Guilin Hall. D. At the foot of Shugang Ridge.

  39. Which of the following parts was last built?

  A. The Daming temple. B. The Qiling Tower.

  C. The Pingshan Hall. D. The Guilin Hall.

  40. Who does “he” in the third paragraph refer to?

  Many expressions that we use in American English come from novels. Today we will look at some of them from Lewis Carroll’s famous novel “Alice in Wonderland” in detail.

  The story is about a young girl falling down a rabbit hole. When she finally lands, she finds herself in a strange world and meets some strange characters.

  The first character Alice meets is the White Rabbit, who runs past her and says some strange words. Alice runs after him, and that is where her adventures begin.

  In English, chasing a white rabbit means chasing an impossible clue and finding yourself in a misleading situation.

  Then, as she runs after the rabbit, she falls down the rabbit hole into Wonderland.

  To fall down the rabbit hole can mean to enter a situation which makes people feel puzzled. However, usually we use this expression to mean we get interested in something to the point of distractions(分神). It often happens by accident and is about something not that meaningful.

  Later in the story, Alice meets the March Hare and the Hatter at a crazy tea party. Hares(野兔)have long been thought to behave excitedly in March, which is their mating(交配)season. Scientifically, this may not be true. But to be mad as a March Hare means that someone is completely mad, or crazy. The expression mad as a Hatter also means to be completely crazy. Of the two, mad as a Hatter is more common.

  Near the end of the story, Alice meets the Queen of Hearts. A woman who is called a Queen of Hearts likes controlling others and always tries to control everything and everyone around her.

  42. Which of the following situations best fits the expression “to fall down a rabbit hole”?

  A. When Jack was sitting in the study, he got bored with the homework and felt sleepy.

  B. When Sue turned On the TV, she chose to watch her favourite programme as usual.

  C. When Jim was looking for a sport book online, he lost himself in reports on superstars.

  D. When Lily was thinking about how to solve a math problem, she came up with a good idea.

  43. According to the passage, the expression “to be mad as a March Hare” .

  A. describes how hares behave in March

  B. shows hares’ characteristics in a funny way

  C. is used more often than the expression mad as a Hatter

  D. has the same meaning as the expression mad as a Hatter

  44. Which of the following characters wants others to obey his or her orders in every situation?

  A. Alice. B. The March Hare. C. The Hatter. D. The Queen of Hearts.

  45. The writer mainly wants to ________in this passage.

  A. introduce a famous novel and its language style

  B. introduce a famous writer Lewis Carroll and his novels

  C. explain some English expressions from a famous novel

  D. explain why many expressions in English come from novels

  Communication is important for strong family relationships. However, if you don’t truly listen to others, it can be difficult to communicate. Working on your listening skills can help you communicate better and form stronger bonds.

  Stay in the present

  When listening to a family member, do not think about anything else. Put your phone away and give the speaker your full attention. It’s important to try to stay in the present to make your family member feel heard and valued.

  Pay attention to what is being said. Make understanding the speaker’s thoughts the most important thing at the moment.

  Use body language

  If you want the family member to feel valued, make sure to show that you are listening. You can do it by using body language. Nod as the speaker talks. Smile when it is suitable. Keep eye contact.

  Do not cut in

  Cutting in can prevent you from communicating effectively. No matter how excited you feel about a subject, do not start talking until the family member has finished. Always allow a few seconds of silence after the speaker finishes talking before offering your reply. This allows you to make sure the speaker has finished, and gives the speaker a chance to fully express himself.

  Ask questions

  Part of listening is understanding. If there is anything in the conversation you don’t understand, please ask after the family member finishes. This shows you are truly listening to him and value his thoughts.

  Ask questions that encourage open discussions. For example, “What do you think of the situation?” Don’t ask “why” questions, which might make the speaker feel uncomfortable.

  Follow these tips, listen actively to your family to help communication run smoothly and build strong family relationships.

  “The purpose of the museum is to show that creativity requires failure,” Dr. West said as he introduced some of the products in a video. “If you are afraid of failure, then you can’t create.” So the organizations will not ignore(无视) them and pretend they ___79___ happened.

  Many of the museum’s items were available online. West believed that ___80____ products have little in common with one another. One of the items, for example, is a frozen beef lasagna(意式千层面) made by Colgate(Yes, the company that makes toothpaste). West described this as a classical case of “brand extension failure.”

  A collection of nine objects from the museum is our tour. The traveling collection of failures will then visit Los Angeles, New York, Shanghai and Tokyo in 2018 and 2019.
