of space travel, the Chang’e 5 lunar probe (月球探测器) came home on
December 17, 2020. It landed in Siziwang banner in the Inner Mongolia
autonomous region.
Chang’e 5 brought back China’s first samples (样本) of rock and
soil from the moon. They are the first lunar samples in over 40 years
since the Soviet Luna 24 probe in 1976, China Daily reported. China
has become the third country in the world to successfully bring back
rocks from the moon.
The return of Chang’e 5 was the last step in China’s three-step
lunar exploration program (探月工程). It began in 2004, including
orbiting (环绕飞行), landing, and bringing back samples, Xinhua
reported.

Soldier and Scholar
“Please don’t travel to Wuhan unless it’s absolutely necessary,” Zhong Nanshan, a famous respiratory (呼吸科
的) expert, reminded the public when the novel coronavirus first hit Wuhan. But despite the danger, he, 84, rushed
on an overnight train to Wuhan to fight the disease.
Known as the hero who defeated SARS in 2003, Zhong’s image and messages are flooding (遍布) social
media. Many people say they “trust every word of Zhong”. He has given Chinese people confidence in winning the
battle.
Growing up in a family of doctors, Zhong lives by a simple motto: save lives and always be honest. In 2003,
when SARS hit China, he volunteered to treat patients and asked his colleagues (同事) to send their most serious
cases to him. After months of work, his treatment plan for SARS was adopted (采纳) by China and then the whole
world, saving thousands of lives, People’s Daily reported.
Seventeen years later, Zhong is once again leading an expert team to study the novel coronavirus. Although
this new virus is known to be more dangerous to the elderly, Zhong doesn’t seem worried about his own safety.
On January 18, he took a high-speed train from Guangzhou to Wuhan. Two days later, he became the first
expert to make certain that the new virus can be spread between humans. On January 29, he and his colleagues
spent over four hours online checking five patients who were in serious condition. The next day, he chose the
treatment for those patients. Under his guidance, his team developed a rapid test kit (快速检测试剂盒) for thedisease that can show results within 15 minutes.
As People’s Daily wrote, “the 84-year-old Zhong Nanshan shows his professionalism as a scholar, courage as
a soldier, and a sense of duty as the backbone of our nation.”
24. What achievements did Zhong make in the fight against SARS?

C. His treatment plan saved lots of people. D. He stated that SARS was under control.

C. By listing the numbers. D. In space order.

C. guide people to be honest and brave D. praise Zhong’s courage and spirit
C
The Attractiveness of Fairy Tales
Almost any young person can tell you the basic plot of Cinderella or Hansel & Gretel or Little Red Riding
Hood. What is it about this kind of stories that makes them so memorable and so loved by kids and adults?
What kids say about fairy tales
Michael says, “The magic is my favorite part about reading fairy tales.” Witches and warlocks (男巫), good
fairies and evil trolls, characters who can transform into something more beautiful or an completely new shape
inspire (鼓舞，激发) active imaginations and make kids feel like anything is possible. Zoe loves the adventures in
fairy tales. Reading them lets me escape from the real world. Isabella, 8, seconds that saying, “I can use my
imagination when I read these and visit places I could never really go.”
What educators say about fairy tales
Educators also love sharing fairy tales with kids to build up their reading comprehension and writing skills.
Kristen, a second grade teacher likes to use these stories to introduce the topic of perspective (视角). “We read The
Three Little Pigs and then another story from the Big Bad Wolf’s perspective. They loved it!” Jenni, a fifth gradeteacher, uses fairy tales like The True Story of the Three Little Pigs to kick off a creative writing unit with her
students. “Reading a book like this opens up a new world to them as writers. Knowing that it's okay to take a
familiar storyline of it gets their creative writing juices flowing.”
Favorite fairy tales and the Disney factor
When asked to pick their favorite fairy tales, the answers reached from classics to modern twists to Disney’s
versions. Kyra, 12, appreciates the depth and complexity (复杂性) of classic fairy tales. “They help me think about
real life problems and give me hope.” Jack, 12, loves books like A Tale Dark and Grimm where “the tales take a
twist and who you thought was bad becomes good.”
While many kids first get introduced to these stories through Disney books and movies, the “Disneyfication”
of fairy tales is not for everyone. “The Disney versions are way too cheesy and wrap them all up with a ‘happily
ever after’ formulaic (公式化 的) ending. I prefer the modern takes on the fairy tales like The Land of Stories where
things are more complicated.” shares Nicole.
27. What makes Zoe love fairy tales so much?
A. The magic. B. The characters. C. The adventures. D. The imagination.
28. Why do educators love sharing fairy tales with kids?
A. To make their teaching easy. B. To help kids understand the text.
C. To encourage kids to love their lessons. D. To improve kids’ reading and writing skills.
29. What can we know from the last two paragraphs?
A. Kids all love classic fairy tales. B. Jack prefers the tales books with twists.
C. No one loves the “Disneyfication” versions. D. Nicole appreciates the depth of classic fairy tales.
D
Passenger ships, trade ships, and fishing boats are a normal part of life on the open sea. However, all their
activity creates a great deal of noise underwater. Scientists from the United States and Canada recently reported
their observations (观察) that the ocean is getting noisier.
Scientists at the University of Victoria have studied the recordings recorded with equipment placed underwater
near the busy shipping lanes off Vancouver Island in Canada. They say engine(发动机) noise is continuous duringthe day, and a little less strong at night.
Scientists say it is likely that whales must call out more loudly to be heard over this noise. The noise could
make it more difficult for orca whales to find food. The orcas find fish by producing clicking sounds and other
noises. Loud engine noise could be interfering with their efforts.
Michael Jasny is a policy expert for the Natural Resources Defense Council. He says the rise of underwater
noise is limiting the ability of whales to communicate.
Shipping noise falls across the same frequencies (频率) that these animals use for all their vital(重大的，紧要
的) behaviors — for feeding, for finding mates, for avoiding predators (捕食者) and for going ahead.”
Mr. Jasny says sound travels very effectively underwater. And it is not just whales he is worried about.
“The whole web of life in the oceans depends on sound. And as more and more research has been done, it’s
been very clear that what we have on our hands is really a major problem. It’s a serious problem. It’s a global
problem. Fortunately, in shipping we have a problem that has a solution.”
One answer is to design quieter ships. America’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or
NOAA, has four new ships that are made to be quieter. Michael Bahtiarian works for Noise Control Engineering,
the company which helped design the boats.
Mr. Bahtiarian says the main source of noise pollution is the propeller(螺旋桨). Better shaped propellers and
ship designs can help to reduce noise. NOAA’s ships also have costly engines, which produce less noise. Mr.
Bahtiarian says the technology to make quieter ships does exist and has been used in the army for some time.
30. The underlined phrase “interfering with” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.
A. controlling B. troubling C. encouraging D. stopping
31. We can tell that whales depend on sound for ________.
A. communicating with their mates B. stopping predators from fishing
C. fighting against the shipping noise D. telling the night time from the day
32. From the passage we can learn that ________.
A. expensive engines produce less noise in the ocean
B. many animals in the ocean depend on sound for living
C. people should stop making big ships in order to save whales
D. it is difficult to find a way to stop noise pollution in the ocean
33. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Ocean is Getting Noisier. B. Whales and Ships in the Ocean..
C Whales are Facing a Serious Problem. D. Quiet Ships are Needed in the Ocean.

Loan words
Our class project last month was to find out more about loan words, words which are borrowed by one
language from another.
Everyone knows that there are thousands of loan words in English，as English is influenced by a variety of
different languages, and, for that reason, it has a huge number of loanwords. It is said that 80 percent of English
words come from other languages. Some speakers prefer using foreign words and phrases in place of English ones
—they think they sound more interesting.
However, our project wasn’t about English. We had to find out about loan words in other languages. Do other
languages also have loan words? The answer is “Yes!” Almost every important language in the world has a lot,
although not as many as English.
Two Asian languages which have a lot of loan words are Japanese and Korean. Most of the loan words in
Japanese come from Chinese and English. Chinese words, and the Chinese characters, first came into the Japanese
language more than 1,000 years ago. Chinese characters which are used in Japanese are called kanji, and many
Chinese Kanji have different meanings or pronunciations, as well as occasionally being written slightly differently.
In recent times, Japanese has also borrowed many words from Portuguese, German (especially medical
words), French and Italian (especially words about music and food). Non-Chinese loan words are written in another
alphabet, called katakana.
There are also a lot of Chinese words and characters in Korean. More recently, Korean has also taken a lot of
words from English. However, when they are used in Korean, the meanings of many words and expressions
change. For example, the English word “dessert” means something sweet that you eat at the end of a meal. In
Korean, the word now means something you drink at the end of a meal—tea, coffee or a soft drink.
There are also Korean English expressions which mean nothing in English, like “cash corner”, which in
Korean means a bank machine in the street where you can get money. Words and phrases like this are now called
“Konglish”! (354)
