三、 阅读理解(共40分)
阅读下列短文, 根据内容选择最佳答案。(共20小题；每小题2分, 满分40分)
A
Are you tired of studying all day long Do you want to do something different Teens are full of energy, and some are really creative. The following is from an American teen’s Weblog.
I own chickens. At home, my family has seven chickens. I gave them all names, and they are my good friends. You may think that taking care of chickens is easy, but sometimes chickens have minds of their own. If you are considering getting chickens, there are a few things you need to know.
The pecking order
Chickens have something we call the pecking order. It is the ranking of all the chickens. The order goes from the toughest, biggest chicken, to the smallest, weakest chicken. The chickens figure out this order on their own. Putting chickens together is not easy. You have to make sure they all eat the same food. Otherwise, you have to keep them apart.
Caring for baby chicks
You must have patience for this. You need to feed them very good food to them, so they stay healthy and become immune to diseases. You also need a place for them to stay in your house and a special feeder and water holder. You can get day-old chicks, or you can get chicks that are 6 months and older. Also, you should clean the pen regularly, so neighbors don’t complain.
Anybody can have chickens
You just have to know what you are doing and always be prepared. Chickens can bring families together. They are fun and humorous, beautiful and loving. They are also smart. It’s amazing how quickly they learn things on their own. So why not consider getting some of your own feathered friends

There are many colors in nature. But do you know if a color has weight I think you’ll say “no”. But I am afraid you are wrong. If you don’t believe, you may do a small experiment.
First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the box. Third, wrap one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.
Why do you think so A scientist found that different colors have different weight in a man’s mind. So he did many tests and at last he got the result. That is to say, every color has its own weight in our mind and their order is the same. The heaviest color is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white.
The scientist told us that colors also have smell. Can you smell the color Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so That is because every color stands for a kind of light with a certain wavelength. It reaches our brain through sense organs ( 感觉器官).
According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colors they like, and refuse the colors they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colors you like. Or you’ll be nervous or even get ill. For example, if you stay in a room with red windows, wallpapers and furniture for two hours, you’ll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, you’ll feel you have been there for only an hour. Another example, if a person walks out of a red room and into a blue room, his temperature will fall. That means our body temperature will change with different colors.
31．In people’s mind, different colors have different weight. Orange is heavier than ________.
A．blue B．red C．green D．yellow
32．The purpose of the second paragraph is to tell us ________.
A．a red box is heavier than a white one
B．a color has weight in one’s mind
C．white paper is lighter than red paper
D．you can know the weight of a color by holding it
33．Why did the scientist say colors have smell
A．Because people can sense the light from colors.
B．Because we can smell colors with our nose.
C．Because every color has its own sweet smell.
D．Because every color can give off light of the same length.
34．If a person walks from a blue room to a red room, his body temperature will ________.
A．rise B．fall C．stay the same D．change now and then
35．This passage is probably a ________.
A．book review B．fiction novel C．science report D．fairy tale
C
Life has a way of shaping us. Life can make you doubt or question your purpose. These are thoughts that I have had in my head for many years. Poetry prepares me for my purpose. My purpose is poetry.
In my journey towards purpose, poetry is my safety net. I started writing at the age of 5. By 13, I had written quite a lot of poems. Poetry was my escape from bullying by my peers (同龄人) and teachers when studying in an American country school. They bullied me because of the way I looked. This bullying gave me low self-respect. Poetry was my way to be seen, be heard and be known.
For each important moment in my life, I write poetry. In hard times, I write poetry. I connect with poetry on a deep level. It helps me out of pain. However, writing poetry can’t support me. So I turned to teaching instead.
While living in China, my job is an English teacher. I help teach two classes. The two Chinese teachers I work with tell me how to teach the students English. The teachers decide what I need to do in the classroom. With challenging situations like this, I keep on writing poetry. I write down my feelings. I draw pictures of the real world. I accept a new me. I learn to think about things with confidence. My relationship with poetry grows over time. Poetry stays in the depths of my soul (灵魂).
There is nothing stopping you. The only person standing in your way is you. You have the power. Keep going. Keep believing. Remember that your hard work is not in vain. Go for it! Your purpose is waiting for you!
36．The author said poetry was her safety net because ________.
A．it helped her out of pain B．it was a way for her to make friends
C．it gave her a sense of achievement D．it made her popular among her peers
37．What made the author change herself and think with confidence

C．The non-stop poetry writing. D．The career of being a teacher.

On Nov.16, seven astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) woke up to an alarm (警报). A Russian missile (导弹) test had just bombed a satellite into more than 1,500 pieces of space debris (残骸). Some got very close to the ISS.
NASA says space debris like this can travel at more than 28,000 km/h. That’s much faster than a bullet (子弹) (about 3,500 km/h). Even a pea-sized piece of debris could “wipe out” a space station or kill an astronaut if he or she is doing a spacewalk, says Live Science.
Since the 1950s, humans have sent thousands of rockets and satellites into space. Many are still there, and we now face an ever-increasing problem of space rubbish. In 2006, for example, National Geographic reported that a tiny piece of space rubbish hit the ISS, taking a small piece of glass out of a window. In June of this year, a piece of debris ran into one of the station’s robotic arms, which are just like the arms of a robot, and left a hole.
Scientists are trying different ways to deal with the problem. One way is to use a huge net. In 2018, the UK’s Survey Space Center caught some space rubbish with a net in an experiment. It first found the debris, and then collected it with a net and a harpoon (鱼叉).
Another way is to use robotic arms. Clear Space 1, the European Space Agency’s task to clean space rubbish, is going to be sent into space in 2025. It will use robotic arms to catch debris. This plans to throw the debris into Earth’s atmosphere (大气层), where it will burn up as it falls because of strong friction (摩擦).
41．The bomb of the Russian missile mainly causes ________ according to the article.
A．plants B．soil C．food D．space debris
42．According to NASA, space debris moves ________ as fast as a bullet.
A．eight times B．nine times C．seven times D．six times
43．What happens to a space station if it gets “wiped out”
A．It gets cleaned. B．It gets rebuilt. C．It gets broken. D．It gets old.
44．The best ways to deal with space debris is ________ according to the article.
a. throwing it away into the planet
b. throwing it into the sun to burn up
c. collecting it with nets and harpoons
d. throwing it into Earth’s atmosphere to burn up
A．ad B．cd C．ab D．bd
45．What can we infer from Paragraph 3-4
A．There is nothing we can do to deal with space debris.
B．The astronauts are quite safe in space even there is space debris.
C．More and more tasks are failing because we don’t want to cause space rubbish.
D．Thousands of old rockets and satellites are turning into space rubbish for years.

Homestays are becoming more and more popular, and people around the world are offering their homes as hotels. Homestays offer cheap places to stay, and the chance for guests to see the area like a local. They are very popular with people who want to stay in another country to study or on holiday. We asked three families who run homestays to tell us about where they live.
The Atal family
Our family home is in a small village in the east of Pakistan, in the Himalayan mountains. The village is quite small and very quiet. The mountains are extremely beautiful. You can go for a long walk and swim in the rivers but there are no shops, cinemas or cafes.
Kate and Julian Foxton
Our two-bed house is by the sea in the south-west of England. It is about five minutes’ drive to the nearest village of Portreath. There are lots of beaches, rivers and forests and it is very quiet. We spend a lot of time reading books, watching films and going for walks. Our area is great for sports, such as surfing, kayaking and mountain biking. However, the houses here are expensive, which can be a problem for local people. There are no buses or trains here, so it can be difficult to get around without a car.
Chafic and Aline Halwany
Our home is near the centre of Beirut, Lebanon, one of the largest cities in the Middle East. There are lots of cafes and restaurants, which open late at night. We love it here because it’s so friendly and you can always find the things you need—lots of people come to stay to learn Arabic and French. However, it can be noisy at night, and there is quite a lot of traffic during the day.

In my family, we respect each other and everyone enjoys equal rights. We often communicate with our family members to encourage and support each other.
In my neighbourhood, we get along well with our neighbours. When someone has problems, we are always ready to help. People here are like a big family.
It is important for us to live a green life. We have a balanced diet to keep healthy. Besides, we usually ride bikes or walk instead of driving cars. We try our best to protect the environment.
What’s more, my family members like doing volunteer work. We often take an active part in charity work to help people in need.
