Most Chinese know the story of the mythological Chang’e, the Chinese goddess of the moon. It’s
a story about a woman who takes an immortality pill and flies to the moon. It is told every year
during China’s Mid-Autumn Moo Festival, so people can’t hear the word “Chang’ e” without
thinking of romantic images of a moon goddess.
For this reason, China’s mission to the moon was calling out for a strong female figure.
Therefore，pictures of a 24-year-old female space commander have gone viral on Chinese social
media for her work on the Chang’e-5 Moo exploration programme with comments about how she is
a “frontline soldier in the field of aerospace” that young Chinese can look up to.
Ms Zhou, a 24-ycar-old lady of Tujia ethnic group, is China’s youngest ever space commander.
She was involved in the successful launch of the Chang’e-5 lunar probe on 24 November, in charge
of the rocket connector system, described as a key role.
In Wenchang space launch site, though she is only 1.58 meters and looks “mini”, she is called
“big sister” for her powerful “core and energy. Since senior high, she has dreamed of being a
member of a space research team. With her great efforts, she was admitted to an aircraft system and
engineering major of a domestic university in 2014. making her aerospace dream come true. To grow
into a commander, in two and a half years, she changed five positions to be familiar with multiple
posts and types of work, each of which takes great courage and is full of challenges. In a working
space with no air conditioning and narrow space to accommodate only three people, she worked for
60 days until the completion of “the Lang March 5 rocket goes around” battle.
Her story has received attention from Chinese state-run media a3 well as overseas media outlets.
However, it has not appeared to have had much of an effect on her. According to the media, she
declined repeated requests for interviews 85 she does not wish to let fame get in the way of her
work.
24. Why does the writer mention the myth of Chang’e at the beginning of the passage?
A. To introduce the topic. B. To give an example.
C. To tell a romantic story. D. To spread Chinese culture.
25. What makes people think of Ms Zhou 8 a pioneer for the youth in aerospace?
A. Her youth and beauty. B. Her pictures on the media.
C. Her identity of Tujia Ethnic group. D. Her performance in the moon-landing program.
26. Why did Ms Zhou reject the media’s invitation to interviews?
A. Because she was too shy.
B. Because she was not available.
C. Because she feared her fame might affect her career.
D. Because she considered fame nothing but a burden.
27. What can we learn from Ms Zhou’s story?
A. Attitude is altitude. B. The early bird catches the worms.
C. Many hands make light work. D. Diligence makes up for inability.
C
As the saying goes,’ time waits for no man’. Time is always against us, and we just can’t stop it.
Maybe that’s why some of us are always running late for appointments, But if timekeeping is not
what you’re good at, don’t stress. There might be a good reason for your lack of punctuality.
People’s attitudes to being on time vary. Some clock-watch and make sure they’re exactly on
time for a meeting. It is, after all, rude to be late, and if you can make it on time, why can’t everyone
else? But if, like me，you want to make every second count, you might try to squeeze as much as you
can into the time you have available. However, when your schedule doesn’t run to plan, your
punctuality inevitably slips.
People who lack promptness have been described as time benders’. Author Grace Pacie told the
BBC that “they’re the people who don’t want t0 be late, but they have a strange resistance to being
early, and they don’t allow enough time.” They assume their journey to an appointment will always
go smoothly, and the train will always be on time!
Perceptions of unpunctual people are almost always negative — even if sometimes wrong.
Writing for the BBC, Laura Clarke says: Being consistently late might not be your fault. It could be
your type. The punctually-challenged often share personality characteristics, such as optimism, low
levels of self-control, anxiety, or a preference for thrill-seeking, experts say. It is also possible that
people are late so as not to be noticeable and to avoid the anxious wait for others to turn up.
Maybe we latecomers should make more of an effort and follow the advice I heard to no ‘try’ to
be on time but ‘decide’ to be on time. But I know if a meeting or a deadline really matters, then I’ll
be there. Otherwise relax, even if others are blaming you!
28. The text is meant to _____.
A. tell us to avoid being late B. tell us why we are late
C. tell us the importance of punctuality D. tell us to try 1o be early rather than late
29. “Time benders” refer to those _____.
A. who don’t want to he late
B. who don’t allow enough time
C. who have a strange resistance to being early
D. who lack punctuality
30. According to experts, it is typical of time benders to _____.
A. be pessimistic B. be negative
C. make every second count D. have low levels of self-control
31. I is quite possible that the writer is one of those _____.
A. punctual people B. unpunctual people
C. trying to be on time D. deciding to be on time
D
As the effects of climate change become more disastrous, well-known research institutions and
government agencies are focusing new money and attention on an idea: artificially cooling the planet,
in the hopes of buying humanity more time to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
That strategy, called solar climate intervention(干预) or solar geoengineering, involves reflecting
more of the sun’s energy back into space — abruptly reducing global temperatures in a way that
imitates the effects of ash clouds flowing out from the volcanic eruptions. The idea has been
considered as a dangerous and fancied solution, one that would encourage people to keep
burning fossil fuels while exposing the planet to unexpected and potentially threatening side effects,
producing more destructive hurricanes, wildfires floods and other disasters.
But. as global warming continues, producing more destructive hurricanes, wildfires floods and
other disasters, some researchers and policy experts say that concerns about geoengineering should
be outweighed by the imperative to better understand it, in case the consequence of climate change
become so terrible that the world can’t wait for better solutions.
One way to cool the earth is by injecting aerosols(气溶胶) into the upper layer of the atmosphere.
where those particles reflect sunlight away from the earth. That process works, according to Douglas
MacMartin, a researcher at Cornell University.
“We know with 100% certainty that we can cool the planet,” he said in an interview. What’s still
unclear, he added, is what happens next. Temperature, MacMartin said, is an indicator for a lot of
climate effects. “What does it do to the strength of hurricanes?” he asked, “What does it do to
agriculture production? What does it do to the risk of forest fires?”
Another institution funded by the National Science Foundation will analyze hundreds of
simulations of aerosol injection, testing the effects on weather extremes around the world. One goal
of the research is to look for a sweet spot: the amount of artificial cooling that can reduce extreme
weather events without causing broader changes in regional rainfall patterns or similar impacts.
32. Why do researchers and government agencies work on cooling the earth?
A. To prevent natural disasters. B. To win more time t0 reduce gas emissions.
C. To imitate volcanic eruptions. D. To encourage more people to bur fossil fuels.
33. What are researchers worried about in terms of global warming?
A. More volcanoes will throw out.
B. More solar energy will go into space.
C. More disasters will endanger the future of the world.
D. People will keep burning fossil fuels to keep warm.
34. What can be inferred from Douglas’ words in an interview?
A. He thinks more research remains to be done.
B. He is optimistic about the effect of cooling the earth.
C. He is concerned about the reduction in agriculture production.
D. He disapproves of the practice of solar climate intervention.
35. What does the underlined words “sweet spot” in the last paragraph mean?
A. The rainfall pattern of a region.
B. The modest drop in temperature.
C. The number of extreme weather events.
D. The injection amount of aerosol.

How to Choose Your Purpose-Filled Career
When you think about choosing a career, you often do it in the following two ways.
36 . If you like writing or doing crafts, you might consider these things. This is not a bad
way to go, of course, but you can’t always make money doing things you like (like video games or
drinking beer). And sometimes things you like are better as a hobby or side passion.
Think about a well-paid job that you can do and doesn’t sound so bad. Maybe a doctor, engineer
or lawyer? Or maybe that’s out of your educational reach, so you choose office or retail worker.
37 but often they are not something you’re really passionate about. It’s kind of like just doing
something because it’s there-- not very inspired.
However, there’s another way that is perhaps better: 38 . For example. Taking care of
children, because you really want to help children get a great start in life, or blossom into who they
want to be or getting into government or social work to improve the conditions of the community
you live in or becoming a scientist to help ease the environmental crisis or find a cure for a terrible
disease. 39 and if you choose one of them for that purpose, you will serve in that work
feeling a sense of purpose each day.
There are endless ways to do that. The point isn’t how you serve the world, but just serving the
world in some way will help you feel filled with purpose. 40 .
A. These are all great choices
B. Think about what you like to do
C. You can identify your purpose and work out how to get there
D. Each of these is just one of many possibilities filled with purpose
E. Try to do something to serve a community or make the world better
F. The sooner you complete the training requirements, the sooner you will make a living
C. If you choose a purposeful and enjoyable job, you’re always further along than most people

I was lucky to have an interview with a famous international bank after graduation. I really
appreciated this chance. So 1 spent a lot of time preparing very carefully I prepared for all the
possible questions ahead. As a result, 1 got the job. While my classmates were still struggling to get
a job, 1 had succeeded in getting one, which made me feel very proud of myself.
After one month of hard training, Today was my first day at work to show the results of the
training. I got up as usual, but I decided to skip doing exercise as I did not want to take the risk of
arriving at the office late on my first day. I went through my morning routine and spent a lot of time
deciding what to wear. I definitely wanted to make a great impression right from the start. Finally, I
settled on the white suit with a tie.
I waved to say goodbye to my mother and set off cheerfully towards the bus stop. But l Saw a
bus leaving the stop just as I turned around the corner. Now I would have to wait for another 15
minutes, even though time was very precious. I stood there patiently. 15 minutes passed and then 30
minutes, and there was no sign of the bus. Now what could 1 do? I had to reach the office on time. I
saw a motorcycle approaching, but as I tried to stop it, the driver sped on without even a glance. It
was then that a car stopped near me and a man waved to me. He said, “Aren’t you working at the
bank at Nariman Point? My office is in the same building. Can I give you a ride?”
I was uncertain at first but then forced myself to get in as I was going to be late. Gradually, I
realized that we were not on the familiar route to my office. I asked the man to stop the car, but he
did not listen to me and told me to shut up.

Paragraph 1.
I had no other option but to keep my mouth shut. I was scared. I didn’t know what to do. I forgot
all I had learned from the training about measures to deal with an emergency. But to my surprise, the
man finally stopped the car in front of the bank building, after taking another shorterroute. I didn’t
expect that I would be able to reach the bank safely and punctually. I asked the man who he was.
Paragraph 2.
He told me that he was my boss. All that had happened was just a test. Unfortunately, I didn’t
pass it. He said that if I was intelligent enough to be selected and employed by an international bank,
I should not have taken such a risk and trusted a stranger offering a ride. Although I had prepared for
everything, I still lost the precious chance to work. From this experience, I realized that the thing that
matters most is whether you can apply what you have learned to your job. Moreover, success is not
only in the interview, but also in the details of life.
