A

One Monday morning, Paul and his classmates were in the science laboratory for their chemistry lesson. The students were going to work in pairs to do an experiment. Before they began, the teacher gave them this description of the different stages of the experiment.

Stage 1: Prepare the equipment a test tube, a crucible(坩埚),a Bunten burner(煤气灯) and a tong.(钳子).

Stage 2: Weigh 5 grams of baking soda and put it in a crucible.

Stage 3: Heat 10ml of hydrochloric acid(盐酸) in a test tube.

Stage 4: Pour the warm acid onto the baking soda and continue to heat the mixture.

Result: The acid reacts with RHCO3 to form water, CO₂

The hotter the mixture, the quicker the reaction. Continue to beat the mixture until the water evaporates (蒸发), leaving the salt in the crucible.

Paul and his partner followed the instructions and set up their equipment. Paul went to the cupboard to get a bottle of hydrochloric acid. He found that there was only one bottle in the cupboard so he took that. There was no label on the bottle and Paul didn’t check with the teacher if it was the right solution(溶液).

He measured the liquid and poured it into a test tube. Using tongs to hold the test tube, he heated it over the Bunsen burner. That’s when things started to go wrong. The liquid in the test tube was not hydrochloric acid. When it was heated, it formed a thick cloud of white gas. Soon the room was full of this strong smelling white gas.

All the students started coughing and their eyes hurt. The teacher immediately opened the windows and ordered the students to leave the laboratory at once. She realized that the liquid was acrylamide (丙烯酰胺) and that it is poisonous(有毒的).

Fortunately, nobody was injured in the incident. However, it taught the students and the teacher a good lesson.

26．The teacher and her students planned to make ______in the experiment.

A．water B．salt C．acrylamide D．CO₂

27．What happened when Paul heated the liquid? ______

A．His teacher ordered him to stop it at once. B．The white poisonous gas was formed.

C．All the students left the lab at once. D．Someone was injured in the accident.

28．What lesson did the incident teach the student and the teacher?

A．Never leave a bottle without a label in the chemistry lab.

B．Obey your teacher’s instructions in the chemistry lab.

C．Acrylamide can’t take the place of hydrochloric acid.

D．While something unusual happened, leave the lab at once.

B

My name is Elias. I am a poor black worker in South Africa. The time when I first met Nelson Mandela was a very difficult period of my life. I was twelve years old . It was in 1952 and Mandela was the black lawyer to whom I went for advice. He offered guidance to poor black people on their legal problems . He was generous with his time, for which I was grateful.

I needed his help because I had very little education. I began school at six . The school where I studied for only two years was three kilometres away. I had to leave because my family could not continue to pay the school fees and the bus fare. I could not read or write well. After trying hard, I got a job in a gold mine. However, this was a time when one had got to have a passbook to live in Johannesburg. Sadly I did not have it because I was not born there, and I worried about whether I would become out of work.

The day when Nelson Mandela helped me was one of my happiest . He told me how to get the correct papers so I could stay in Johannesburg. I became more hopeful about my future. I never forgot how kind Mandela was . When he organized the ANC Youth League, I joined it as soon as I could. He said: “The last thirty years have seen the greatest number of laws stopping our rights and progress, until today we have reached a stage where we have almost no rights at all.”

It was the truth. Black people could not vote or choose their leaders. They could not get the jobs they wanted. The parts of town in which they had to live were decided by white people. The places outside the towns where they were sent to live were the poorest parts of South Africa. No one could grow food there. As a result, Mandela chose to attack the laws. We first broke the law in a way which was peaceful; when this was not allowed ... only then did we decide to answer violence (暴力) with violence. As a matter of fact, I do not like violence …but in 1963 I helped him blow up some government buildings. It was very dangerous because if I was caught I could be put in prison. But I was happy to help because I knew it would help us achieve our dream of making black and white people equal.

29．What’s the relationship between the writer and Mandela?

A．Father and son  B．Strangers

C．Helper and supporter D．Teacher and student

30．According to the text, which statement is true?

A．Elias left school because the school was too far from his home.

B．Elias was willing to blow up government buildings.

C．Nelson Mandela thought violence was a good way to help black people.

D．Elias trusted Mandela so he joined the ANC Youth League.

31．The correct order of the following statements is ______.

a．Elias met Mandela for the first time

b．Elias left school.

c．Elias blew up some government buildings

d．Elias found a job in a gold mine.

e．Elisa became a member of the ANC Youth League

A．b-a-d-e-c B．a-b-d-c-e C．b-d-a-e-c D．a-b-d-e-c

32．What did Elisa think of Nelson Mandela?

A．Generous and violent B．Helpful and trusted

C．Humorous and kind  D．Brave and careful

C

Many people know that rubbish is a big problem on planet Earth. What many people don’t know is that junk(垃圾) has become a problem in outer space too.

According to BBC News, there are more than 22,000 pieces of space junk floating around the Earth. And these are just the things that we can see from the surface of the Earth by telescopes. There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we can’t see.

Objects, like bits of old space rockets or satellites, move around the planet at very high speeds, so fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become dangerous to astronauts. If the tiniest piece of junk crashed into a spaceship, it could damage the vehicle.

To make things worse, when two objects in space crash, they break into many smaller pieces. For example, when a US satellite hit an old Russian rocket in 2009, it broke into more than 2,000 pieces, increasing the amount of space junk.

To reduce additional space junk, countries have agreed that all new space tools can only stay in space for 25 years at most. Each tool must be built to fall safely into the Earth’s atmosphere after that time. In the upper parts of the atmosphere, it will burn up.

Many scientists are also suggesting different ways to clean up space junk. In England scientists are testing a metal net that can be fired into space junk. The net catches the junk and then pulls it into the Earth’s atmosphere to burn up. The Germans are building robots that can collect pieces of space junk and bring them back to the Earth to be safely destroyed.

“The problem is becoming more challenging because we’re sending more objects into space to help people use their mobile phones and computers,” says Marco Castronuiovo, an Italian space researcher.

“The time to act is now. The longer we leave the problem, the bigger it will become,” he says.

33．What does the underlined word “these” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A．Telescopes.  B．Satellites.

C．Pieces of space junk. D．BBC news reports.

34．Why is space junk considered a problem?

A．It burns up after it re-enters the atmosphere.

B．It often stops the view of telescopes on Earth.

C．It could force new space tools to travel at slower speeds.

D．It may crash into other space tools causing damage or death.

35．How do the Germans plan to deal with space junk?

A．Catch it with nets.  B．Use robots to collect it.

C．Burn it in the Earth’s atmosphere. D．Send it further away from the Earth.

36．Countries want future space tools to be able to fall back into the earth’s atmosphere so that ______.

A．the tools can be reused later. B．the tools don’t become space junk.

C．the earth’s atmosphere can stay clean. D．the effects of space flight can be studied.

D

Negative thinking is one of the biggest obstacles(障碍) we face in experiencing happiness, but here’s hope. Here are two strategies to help defeat your negative thinking.

(41)______ . When you’ re heading into a social gathering, you begin to wonder what if I don’t connect with anyone. Am I even likable? Faced with this situation, do something that lifts your mood.(42)______ . For example, listen to a song that makes you smile or take a moment to appreciate people in your life who love you. Positive emotions literally reduce the effects of anxiety by lowering our heart rate and muscle tension.

The other is to combat(战斗).(43)______ . But in reality, our minds feed us messages that range from the embellished(渲染的) truth to total lies. Imagine yourself in court. You are the prosecutor(控方律师) and your negative things is the defendant(被告).(44)______ . When he shouts out “You’re not good enough at your job”, you need to consult the evidence you have to prove it wrong, argue back with the strongest piece of evidence you can find. Always remember your task is to get the judge to hear your side. So you can say “I am good enough because every performance review I’ve had has been positive. And my boss told me last week how much she enjoyed working with me.”

Both of these strategies, to distract and combat, are skills anyone can learn and get better at with practice.(45)______ .

A．He’s guilty (有罪的), but he insists that he’s not guilty and sticks to his story.

B．Remember, with cach negative thought you defeat, you’ve successfully earned your own happiness.

D．We often believe that our negative thinking is true.

E．One is to distract.
