The First Space Cat
In a few weeks, space scientists will celebrate a remarkable event — the 60th anniversary of the launch of the first cat
into space, an astronautical success that has never been repeated.
In the early 60s, dogs and monkeys were the animals usually used by scientists to find out exactly
____ 2 1____ dangerous the conditions were in outer space. And they were also used to assess if humans ____ 2 2____
survive trips beyond the edge of Earth’s atmosphere.
A total of 14 street cats ____ 2 3____ (gather) at France’s space agency for selection as cat astronauts, but the cats were
not given names on purpose in order to prevent scientists from becoming too fond of them. The cat selected to travel to
space was simply known ____ 2 4____ C341. C341 flew on a French rocket in October 1963, taking it to a place
____ 2 5____ no cat had gone before.
Then, ____ 2 6____ the news of its flight was announced on 18 October 1963, the French press decided this cat had to
have its name. They picked “Felix” after a cartoon cat character, only ____ 2 7____ (discover) that C341 was female, so her
name was then adjusted to “Felicette” as a result. In putting Felicette in one of its rockets, France added a new species to thelist of animals that scientists ____ 2 8____ (send) into space before. Previously, two garden spiders, Anita and Arebella, had
been taken to the Skylab ____ 2 9____ (orbit) around the moon.
“In the 60s, _____ 3 0_____ (concern) about the possible danger for a human to be in outer space, scientists and
engineers primarily undertook animal space flights to see if they suffered or their lives were threatened by the
weightlessness or increased radiation or other effects they might experience up there,” said astronomer Jake Foster at the
Royal Observatory Greenwich. “The fact that they did not fail paved the way for humans to begin journeys into space.”
Section B
Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that
there is one word more than you need.
A. attraction B. waiting C. mystery D. unique E. simply F. originally
G. stable H. popularity I. donating J. searching K. interfere
There’s a rarely-visited, dusty corner of the world where something magical happens. The place, which looks like Mars
with its red rock landscape, is the Tatacoa Desert, in Colombia.
Tatacoa is located in the region of Huila, south of the country’s capital Bogotá. Although Tatacoa, with its protruding
cacti and red rippled rocks, is called a desert, it is in fact a dry tropical forest. But the exciting, and very ___31___, feature
of this desert, is what happens above it, at night.
Thanks to its remote location — it’s almost 30 miles and an hour’s drive over bumpy winding roads to the nearest town
— Tatacoa has no light pollution to ___32___ with the night sky.
Up to 88 constellations (星座) are visible on a clear night, as well as both hemispheres — something that happens
nowhere else in the world.
The warm and dry climate helps with stargazing; a ___33___ atmosphere, which happens in dry spots or places of
high elevation, decreases something called scintillation, which is when a star’s light rises and falls rapidly. It’s why stars
twinkle, which looks beautiful but isn’t so great for astronomers.
Not only is Tatacoa a natural wonder, but the DIY observatory that’s run by a Colombian man named Javier Fernanda
Rua Restrepo has become a star ___34___ too. In fact, this humble building attracts stargazers from all over the world,
from China to Iceland to Australia. And Restrepo has also become well-known in astronomer circles, with a few scientists
___35___ their own telescopes to support the grassroots observatory.
The Colombian, who is ___36___ from Cali, fell in love with the stars thanks to his father’s interest in astronomy and
science, and first visited Tatacoa in 1997, to try to see the Comet Hale-Bopp. He stayed for a couple of days before heading
back to his hometown. But within a month, he returned to Tatacoa — and never left, camping out for weeks on end
___37___ for the night to come so that he could watch the stars.
At first Restrepo had worked at the Colombian government’s observatory, which he helped staff for 15 years. But afterbudget cuts meant he lost his job, he figured he would ___38___ build his own.
In 2015, Restrepo opened the doors to his observatory — Tatacoa Astronomia — with just one telescope. Now, as
Colombia has grown in ___39___ as a tourist destination, hundreds flock to Restrepo’s star party, which he holds once a
year in July.
Tatacoa Astronomia is only open on starry nights, and Restrepo remains the sole employee. But that doesn’t distract
from the intimacy and the specialness of the place. The structure sits on a small patch of land that Restrepo bought himself,
and is cordoned (隔离) off by tarpaulin (油布) to add an extra sense of ____40____ and intrigue (阴谋) for visitors.
“The stars… they put my life into its tiny perspective,” he says, “and they constantly remind me there are greater
things out there.”
III.Reading Comprehension (共45分。 41-45每题1分；56-70每题2分)
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in
each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context
Often, we know what makes us happy... but, despite this, often we don’t put the theory into action. Why do I (the
person who tells you that taking breaks ____ 41 ____ stress and makes you more efficient) sit at my computer eating my
lunch? I know this is unhelpful for me, so what on earth is going on? It all started at a time of huge pressure when I was
training, and I began eating my lunch at my desk to ____ 42 ____ time. I did it over and over again until it became
____ 43 ____ to my brain.
My brain will choose this route by default (默认情况下), because it is the most learned behaviour. Something in my
office ____ 44 ____ (probably my stomach rumbling (发咕咕声) will send a signal to my brain that it’s lunchtime, and I
will pick up my sandwich and eat it with very little ____ 45 ____ . It is a no-brainer to my brain; it’s just what it does.
Habits don’t ____ 46 ____ new learning from the brain; they are stored as a sequence of activities in the brain. The
brain adds a routine of behaviours together so they all happen ____ 47 ____ in sequence when activated by a signal (that
rumbling stomach) to get us to a reward (my lunch), which ____ 48 ____ strengthens that learned behaviour. Your brain uses
habits to ____ 49 ____ effort and save energy, and will default to these behaviours when signalled. How can we build
happiness habits into our lives?
Step 1: What is it that you want to do
Decide what you want to _____ 50 _____ as small daily habits. Next, think about how and when you will do this.
_____ 51 _____ , consider the habits that affect happiness negatively and that you want to break. Like me, do you want to
_____ 52 _____ eating lunch at your desk and get outside instead?
Step 2: Be _____ 53 _____ about your why
What will you gain from this new happiness habit? Why is it important to you? This helps you to want to make theeffort to break your default habits.
Step 3: Be specific
Decide when specifically you will _____ 54 _____ your new habit and what you will do — for example, “I want to go
for a walk to connect with nature at lunchtime.” Start as small as you can, because this is more likely to be achievable,
repeatable and rewarding — three things we need to happen to shift from a(n) _____ 55 _____ new behaviour to a habit.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.
For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information
given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
One summer night in a seaside cottage, a boy felt himself lifted from bed. Then, with the swiftness of a dream, he was
held in his father’s arms out onto the nearby beach. Overhead the sky blazed with stars. “Watch!” Incredibly, as his father
spoke, one of the stars moved. In a line of golden fire it flashed across the astonished heavens. And before the wonder of
this could fade, another star leaped from its place, then another, plunging towards the restless sea.
“What’s this?” the child whispered.
“Shooting stars. They come every year on a certain August night. I thought you’d like to see the show.”
That was all: just an unexpected glimpse of something mysterious and beautiful. But, back in bed, the child stared for
a long time into the dark, knowing that all around the quiet house, the night was full of the silent music of the falling stars.Decades have passed, but I remember that night still, because I was the fortunate boy whose father believed that a new
experience was more important for a small boy than an unbroken night’s sleep. No doubt I had all the usual childhood
entertainment, but those are forgotten now. What I remember is the night of the shooting stars, and the day we rode in a
caboose (列车末尾的职工车厢), the telegraph we made that really worked, and the “trophy table” in the dining room
where we children were encouraged to exhibit things we had found — anything unusual or beautiful — snake skins,
seashells, flowers, arrowheads... I remember the thought-provoking (引人深思的) books left by my bedside that pushed
back my horizons and sometimes actually changed my life.
My father had, to a marvellous degree, the gift of opening doors for his children, of leading them into areas of splendid
newness. This subtle art of adding dimensions to a child’s world doesn’t necessarily require a great deal of time. It simply
involves doing things more often with our children instead of for them or to them.
56. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 mean?
A. The child was still immersed in the beautiful scenery just now.
B. The child was too frightened to fall asleep because of darkness.
C. The child wanted to listen more to the music about falling stars.
D. The child felt grateful to his father for what he showed him.
57. All the things the author remember from his childhood are ________.
A. unusual and novel B. dangerous and demanding
C. strange and uncommon D. educational and thought-provoking
58. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Parents should interfere more with their children’s learning.
B. Parents should push their children to try to do everything on their own.
C. Parents should devote energy to exploring new things for their children.
D. Parents should encourage children to be curious and explore new things in life.
59. What’s the best title for this passage?
A. Limitless knowledge B. Father, the hero of my life
C. Curiosity aroused that night D. The unusual things in my life
(B)
One of the most well-known figures of American history, Thomas Jefferson was the third President of the United States
and the author of the Declaration of Independence. His life was an inspiring one and at the same time a little bit
contradictory to his statements and way of living life, and thus he has formed the subject of a lot of authors’ books.
This is a Biography of the life of Jefferson published in 6 volumes over a very long
Jefferson and his time period of 34 years staring from 1948 till 1982.
Read it For:It is an entire collection introducing all aspects of Jefferson’s life in great details
from his childhood till his last days. For history enthusiasts, this is a wonderful book that
will give you insight into the life of one of the most memorable American leaders.
Don’t Read it For:
This series is a biography and strictly a work of non-fiction. It is reading about the
life of a person and might get boring for some.
An interesting yet strange book, this piece of writing is not an attempt to shed light
on the life of Jefferson but rather an attempt to understand his mind. Jefferson was one
who spoke something but did the complete opposite of it.
Read it For:
American Sphinx
This book tries to analyze Jefferson’s life but does not do it in a way that criticizes him or
idolizes him. This National Award winning book perfectly balances the act of examining
someone’s acts and general behavior and trying to figure out the reason behind his
contradictory statements and acts.
Don’t Read it For:
If you are searching for a book about Jefferson’s life, this is not for you. It covers a
few events of his life, not his entire life.
This Political Biography by Meacham takes you on a journey into the world that
Jefferson lived in and saw it through his eyes. It shows how Jefferson formed the world
around him and handled situations and people to shape the American political system as it
is today.
The Art of Power
Read it For:
The depth with which this book is written is commendable. It is noted that the work
done by Meacham in this book puts you inside Jefferson’s head and makes you
understand what it would be like to be Jefferson.
Don’t Read it For:
While this book shows the genius of Jefferson, it can come off as bias, showing
Jefferson in a very positive light and his opponents in a very negative light.
60. If one wants to know Thomas Jefferson’s experience in his whole life, ______ is most highly recommended.
A. “Jefferson and His Time”B. “American Sphinx” C. “The Art of Power” D. none of the above
61. Having read “American Sphinx”, you may ______.
A. learn how Thomas got through his childhood in detailsB. understand why Thomas’ words and deeds were not always matched
C. know how ordinary people criticize or idolize him
D. learn how Jefferson formed the world around him and addressed situations
62. One problem about “The Art of Power” is that readers ______.
A. may feel bored while they are reading it
B. cannot get a complete description of Thomas’ life
C. learn Thomas’ political life mainly from historians’ perspective
D. cannot get an objective point of view about Thomas’ gift
(C)
Zion National Park in Utah has plenty of trails, but Angels Landing may be the most breathtaking. Picture this. You
begin the hike on the wide and well-maintained West Rim Trail. It follows the river and then crosses the bottom of the
canyon, surrounded by 270-million-year-old layers of rock. Relaxing, right? Just wait for it. The trail then starts to climb via
a series of switchbacks (急转弯) leading up the side of the mountain. Then more switchbacks: 21 tighter turns, called
“Walter’s Wiggles,” where elevation levels rapidly increase. Your heartbeat is probably rapidly increasing at this point, too.
On top of Walter’s Wiggles, you can stop for a stunning view (perhaps with a marriage proposal) and a restroom stop
while you contemplate (仔细考虑) the final stretch of the hike. If you’re afraid of heights, it’s best to turn back now. The
last stretch is the real test of bravery.
The last half mile of the hike is what really ranks it as one of the nation’s most dangerous. Angels Landing itself is a
fin-like formation jutting (突出) 1,500 feet out of the canyon, and this is where you make the final 500-foot climb.
Guardrails and chains bolted (拴住) into the cliff help you keep from tumbling over the extremely steep ledge. You’re
literally living on the edge, and you don’t want to trust the “angels” down there to catch you. Once you reach the top,
however, it’ll all be worth it: 360-degree views of the canyon make a great backdrop for kicking back and having a meal
before you come back down the way you came.
Angels Landing might be dangerous, but thankfully, not too many people have had fatal falls. According to the park
website, seven people have died in the 100 years the park has existed. Still, this is a very vigorous hike. If you’re out of
shape, bringing young children along, feel ill or prone to fainting, or are just plain afraid of heights, opt for an easier trail.
Angel’s Landing is a great hike for most of the year, besides the cold winter months when the trails could become
dangerously slippery. Summer is the most popular time of year — and therefore the most crowded — but it can also get
extremely hot, so opt for an early morning hike while the temperatures are still mild.
Sure, it’s dangerous, but there’s a reason this is one of Zion ‘s most popular hikes. If you’re up for the challenge,
Angels Landing will definitely deliver rewards.
This article first appeared on Curiosity.com.63. What geological feature surrounds the hiker during the initial part of the hike?
A. Plenty of trails in the park. B. Mountain Peaks.
C. 270-million-year-old layers of rock. D. Grass Meadows.
64. What is the main attraction and appeal of Angels Landing?
A. The challenging hike with switchbacks.
B. The 360-degree views of the canyon.
C. The well-maintained West Rim Trail.
D. The river crossing and rock formations.
65. Which of the following statement is true according to the passage?
A. If a tourist is afraid of heights, it’s best to turn back onto Angels Landing.
B. Seven people have died so far due to slippery trails in winter.
C. Bringing young kids along to climb onto Angels Landing will be appreciated.
D. Taking a break with the views of the canyon as background is absolutely worth the trip.
66. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
A. Unveiling the Hidden Beauty: Exploring Zion National Park’s Trails
B. Zion’s Ultimate Thrill: The Adrenaline-Pumping Angels Landing Expedition
C. Chasing Heights: Angels Landing Adventure in Utah’s Zion National Park
D. Angels Landing: Conquering Utah’s Breathtaking and Daring Hike in Zion National Park
Section C
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once.
Note that there are two sentences more than you need.
A. Training will ease your annoyance as your pets tend to obey more and behave better.
B. Giving them an extra piece of chicken for a job well done is essential for a strong relationship.

D. You should always learn to be patient and accept that there will be a period of adjustment.
E. But playtime is still a necessary and effective activity to share fun moments together.
F. The Internet is a good place to figure out how you can train them efficiently.
Strengthen Bonds With Your New Pet
Welcoming a new pet can be a magical moment for a lot of families. Unfortunately, many new pet owners struggle to
bond with them. The following steps may help.
This should go without saying but spending time with your pets can greatly help you form a strong relationship. Pets
love to be included in every activity of their humans, whatever the activities are. ___67___ Cats love playing with yarn
(纱线) balls and fishing pole toys. Dogs are outgoing and usually love playing games with tennis balls such as fetch. So it’s
also important to learn what type of play your pet enjoys.Most people forget that training and teaching them tricks is a healthy outlet as well.___68___ Whether you’re teaching
them simple commands like ‘sit’ or something more complex like ‘turn around’ or ‘bow’, they’re sure to enjoy your
company and will love you all the more for your attention, company and praises. Pets also love being rewarded with treats.
___69___ Moreover, when they begin to anticipate treats for good behaviour, they are more likely to be on their best
behaviour, further making you and your pets grow closer.
One more thing to notice is that taking care of a pet can be a wonderful experience and also be quite frustrating. For
new pet owners, it can be confusing, especially if you don’t understand what your pet needs or wants at any given time.
___70___ This might take a day or two, or might take months. But eventually, you will reap what you sow.
IV.Summary Writing (共10分）
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more than 60
words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Drawing High Schoolers to Science
A group of educators and plant scientists at Michigan State University (MSU) are connecting to reshape science
classes. And this particular partnership isn’t just helping students get a better understanding of biology; it’s turning them
into young scientists, even if only during class.
It doesn’t take long to see that the curriculum born from this collaboration makes for a much different experience than
the traditional high school biology classes. For starters, it has a comic book for a workbook. Secondly, students are getting
their hands dirty growing plants. MSU researchers are also studying the plant. The high schoolers are asking some of the
same questions professional plant scientists are trying to answer.
“We’re getting them engaged with science in science practices, not just having them learn about science,” says Hildah
Makori, a researcher at MSU. “They learn to look at things differently. That’s a life-time impact.”
The main characters of the comic book are a pair of young field scientists. They invite the high school students to help
with plant research inspired by a real project at MSU. By growing their own plants, the students learn about genetics,
evolution and how these interact with the environment.
The team has seen how this practice could keep students in the driver’s seat of their learning. To help the characters
out, students set up different experiments to test their ideas.
The program is working. “This comic personally gave me a click that sparked my curiosity,” reads one student’s survey
response. “The comic book put a lot of creative atmosphere into the story instead of just looking at words, instead of just
listening to the teacher talk,” says another.
Teachers also had positive reviews. In a survey, one remarked how helpful it was to have the comic to refer to. The
students could see the comic’s characters doing something in the lab and realize, “I’m able to do this right here at my table
and I can do the same thing,” the teacher says.___________________________________________________________________________________________________
