Growing up, I was always fortunate to be around my grandfather’s well-cared garden. Not only was it a nice garden in the visual sense, but the vegetables and fruit that he grew in it were also often on the dinner table, so it was also a very practical garden. This was a result of the times. He and millions others grew up in difficult time during 1930s, in which vegetables grown in gardens helped people add their poor incomes.
I had just been an admirer of the work done by him until quite recently, when I decided to turn my hand to growing some plants. Unlike my grandfather, I don’t have a large garden to do this. Like millions of other people, I only have a small balcony to conduct my planting activities, but that has not discouraged me in the slightest.
It’s possible to make a nice “garden” even in the most limited space, but not everyone could be successful. I had already tried to grow some flowers, but it was a hopeless failure, so my attention and efforts then turned to something much more practical: vegetables. I decided to take the seeds of one little tomato and plant them in a number of pots. After several weeks, I was amazed by the results. I now have about 15 tomato plants on my balcony in different stages of growth.
It’s a rewarding sight to see this greenery on my balcony. Not only does it look nice, it’s also a good feeling that I have made my own little contribution to nature. And in this day and age in which we have such fast-paced lives and depend on modern technology for so much, it’s very rewarding to be taking part in a practice which is as old as time itself, as plant life is the most basic and oldest “technology” on our planet. Even if you don’t consider yourself to have “green fingers”, it is something that’s well worth having a try of —— you could be amazed by the results.
4. What did the author think of his grandfather’s garden
A. Beautiful and useful B. Boring and difficult.
C. Broken and impractical. D. Attractive and welcome
5. How about the planting in author’s limited space according to paragraph 3
A. A complete failure for the lack of a large garden
B. All vegetables grew better than flowers on the balcony
C. Flowers were more practical compared with vegetables.
D. Vegetables’ planting was more successful than flowers
6. What do the underlined words “green fingers” mean in the last paragraph
A. The ability to make plants grow B. A big balcony to grow green plants.
C. The skills to master modern technology. D. Greenery on our balcony
7. What does the author suggest people to do according to the passage!
A. Get used to the fast-paced life B. Actively apply modern technology.
C. Build a large enough balcony. D. Contribute to nature by planting.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了作者受到祖父花园启发，决定着手种植一些植物，最终种植蔬菜成功了。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Not only was it a nice garden in the visual sense, but the vegetables and fruit that he grew in it were also often on the dinner table, so it was also a very practical garden.(它不仅在视觉上是一个很好的花园，而且他在里面种的蔬菜和水果也经常出现在餐桌上，所以它也是一个非常实用的花园)”可知，作者认为他祖父的花园美观实用。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“I had already tried to grow some flowers, but it was a hopeless failure, so my attention and efforts then turned to something much more practical: vegetables. I decided to take the seeds of one little tomato and plant them in a number of pots. After several weeks, I was amazed by the results. I now have about 15 tomato plants on my balcony in different stages of growth.(我已经试着种了一些花，但那是无望的失败，所以我的注意力和精力转向了更实际的东西：蔬菜。我决定把一颗小番茄的种子种在许多盆里。几个星期后，我对结果感到惊讶。我现在在阳台上种了大约15株不同生长阶段的番茄)”可知，作者在有限的空间里种植的蔬菜比种植的花更成功。故选D。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“it is something that’s well worth having a try of —— you could be amazed by the results(这是非常值得一试的——你可能会对结果感到惊讶)”以及even if引导让步状语从句和上文提到的“Not only does it look nice, it’s also a good feeling that I have made my own little contribution to nature. (它不仅看起来很漂亮，而且感觉很好，我对大自然做出了自己的一点贡献。)”可知，作者成功种植了一些植物，所以作者认为即使你不认为自己有让植物生长的能力，这也是一件值得一试的事情——结果可能会让你大吃一惊。故画线词意思是“让植物生长的能力”。故选A。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“It’s a rewarding sight to see this greenery on my balcony. Not only does it look nice, it’s also a good feeling that I have made my own little contribution to nature. And in this day and age in which we have such fast-paced lives and depend on modern technology for so much, it’s very rewarding to be taking part in a practice which is as old as time itself, as plant life is the most basic and oldest “technology” on our planet.(在我的阳台上看到这些绿色植物是一种值得的景象。它不仅看起来很漂亮，而且感觉很好，我为大自然做出了自己的一点贡献。在当今这个时代，我们的生活节奏如此快，如此依赖现代技术，参与一项与时间本身一样古老的实践是非常有益的，因为植物生命是我们这个星球上最基本、最古老的“技术”)”可知，作者建议人们通过种植为自然做贡献。故选D。

For years, learning to speak Cantonese was not that hard in San Francisco. It is a place where Cantonese speakers from South China have moved for over 150 years. But now, there is fear that the Cantonese language and culture might not survive present social changes. Cantonese is spoken by some 85 million people worldwide. In comparison, there are around 1 billion Mandarin (or Putonghua) speakers.
In Britain, as in the U. S., most schools that offer Chinese usually teach Mandarin. As a result, many families are struggling to find ways to pass on their Cantonese language and culture. Ceci Pang runs classes for children at Rainbow Seeds Cantonese School in London. “Many parents want their kids to be able to communicate with their grandparents,” she said. “It’s just so hard here, there are so few learning resources and lots of parents get upset. That’s usually the point the parents come to me.”
In China, there are Cantonese television programs as well as Cantonese announcements on public transport. In Hong Kong, however, Cantonese remains the city’s top language. It is used by 90 percent of the population according to an assistant professor at the Education University of Hong Kong.
It is a different story in the U. S. The teaching of Cantonese has decreased somewhat, including in San Francisco, a city that has drawn many Cantonese speakers over the years. The San Francisco school system has Cantonese and Mandarin programs for younger students. But in high school, Mandarin is the only Chinese language available. This spring, some independent Chinese schools are helping to teach the language as Cantonese-speaking communities grow. Aleyda Poe has been managing the Cantonese kindergarten at Merit Chinese School in Plano, Texas, for more than 10 years. Poe put her two sons in the school so that they could learn about Cantonese language and culture. Now, she is helping other families do the same.
8. What are the Cantonese speakers worried about
A. Survival of Cantonese language and culture. B. Increasing social changes in San Francisco.
C. More and more Mandarin speakers worldwide. D. Less Cantonese speakers in South China.
9. How does Ceci Pang help to handle Cantonese learning in London
A. By visiting and talking with local families. B. By organizing language classes for kids
C. By reducing Chinese culture teaching at schools D. By using unlimited online resources
10. What is implied about Cantonese learning both in China and the U. S.
A. San Francisco is a city with the most Cantonese learners
B. Cantonese is learnt by 90 percent of the population in China
C. Learning resources and opportunities are limited in the U. S.
D. There are no Cantonese learning programs in San Francisco
11. Which can be the suitable title for the text
A. Importance to improve Cantonese learning globally.
B. Current status of Cantonese learning overseas
C. A brief introduction to Cantonese learning history in U. S.
D. Debates between Cantonese and Mandarin learning
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了海外学习粤语的现状和存在的问题。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“But now, there is fear that the Cantonese language and culture might not survive present social changes.(但现在，有人担心粤语和粤语文化可能无法在当前的社会变革中生存下来)”可知，说粤语的人在担心粤语和粤语文化的保存。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Ceci Pang runs classes for children at Rainbow Seeds Cantonese School in London.(Ceci Pang在伦敦彩虹种子粤语学校为孩子们开设课程)”可知，Ceci Pang为孩子们组织语言课程来帮助学生在伦敦学习粤语。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“In Britain, as in the U. S., most schools that offer Chinese usually teach Mandarin. As a result, many families are struggling to find ways to pass on their Cantonese language and culture.(在英国，和美国一样，大多数提供汉语的学校通常教授普通话。因此，许多家庭都在努力寻找方法来传承他们的粤语和文化。)”和最后一段“It is a different story in the U. S. The teaching of Cantonese has decreased somewhat, including in San Francisco, a city that has drawn many Cantonese speakers over the years. The San Francisco school system has Cantonese and Mandarin programs for younger students. But in high school, Mandarin is the only Chinese language available.(美国的情况则不同。粤语教学有所减少，包括在旧金山，这座城市多年来吸引了许多讲粤语的人。旧金山的学校系统为低年级学生开设了粤语和普通话课程。但在高中，普通话是唯一可用的中文)”可推知，有关粤语，在美国，学习资源和机会是有限的。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“For years, learning to speak Cantonese was not that hard in San Francisco.(多年来，在旧金山学广东话并不是那么难)”以及第二段“In Britain, as in the U. S., most schools that offer Chinese usually teach Mandarin. As a result, many families are struggling to find ways to pass on their Cantonese language and culture. (在英国，就像在美国一样，大多数提供中文课程的学校通常都教授普通话。因此，许多家庭都在努力寻找传承粤语和广东文化的方法)”结合文章主要说明了海外学习粤语的现状和存在的问题。可知，B选项“海外学习粤语的现状”最符合文章标题。故选B。

A reentry capsule(太空舱)carrying the crew —— Chen Dong, Liu Yang and Cai Xuzhe —— touched down on Earth at the Dongfeng Landing Site in northwestern China’s Gobi Desert after flying nine hours. This has become the first time that Chinese astronauts have returned to Earth at night, which meant low temperatures and low visibility. Many technologies were developed to make sure the Shenzhou - 14 crewed spaceship went back safely.
The temperatures can be tricky. From the moment the spaceship separated from the space station on the way home, it has to start its own thermal (热 的) control system to keep the temperature between 17 and 25 degrees, an ideal condition for the astronauts. When the spaceship enters Earth’ atmosphere, it can cause temperatures of over 1, 000 degree Celsius, so the ship has a heat shield on its bottom to protect itself from the high temperature.
High efficient communication is another promise of the safe return. The ground teams including control center in Beijing, landing site and rescue teams use the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System. The rescue helicopters also have a smart system to help predict the path of the reentry capsule during landing.
When the spaceship is 10 kilometers above the ground, the three parachutes (降落伞) will open one after another. The size of the parachutes will expand from only several square meters to over 1, 000 square meters, gradually reducing the spaceship speed from 200 meters per second to seven meters per second, which protects astronauts from gravity force overload. “It’s like when we’re driving, we need to slow down gradually, ”said Rong Wei, chief designer of manned spaceship at the 5th Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group, At the same time, the engine will be ready for a soft landing.
12. Why was Shenzhou- 14 spaceship’s returning different than before
A. Because the landing site is in the Desert.
B. Because there are less astronauts in Shenzhou- 14.
C. Because the returning time was put off.
D. Because it was cold and dark outside.
13. What do we know about the temperature change in the capsule
A. It was controlled to fit astronauts’ condition.
B. It was the highest at the very beginning.
C. It went to the frozen point in the atmosphere.
D. It kept dropping before starting the control system.
14. What is the purpose of using the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System
A. To design the best landing spot. B. To assure the location of the capsule.
C. To control the temperature in capsule. D. To send orders from the capsule.
15. What is the main idea of the last paragraph
A. How the engine expanded parachutes. B. How the gravity force influenced landing.
C. How the landing parachutes worked. D. How astronauts controlled the landing.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“ This has become the first time that Chinese astronauts have returned to Earth at night, which meant low temperatures and low visibility.(这是中国宇航员第一次在夜间返回地球，这意味着低温和低能见度。)”可知，与以前不同的是因为这次着陆时外边又冷又黑。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“From the moment the spaceship separated from the space station on the way home, it has to start its own thermal(热的 )control system to keep the temperature between 17 and 25 degrees, an ideal condition for the astronauts. When the spaceship enters Earth’ atmosphere, it can cause temperatures of over 1, 000 degree Celsius, so the ship has a heat shield on its bottom to protect itself from the high temperature.(从飞船在返回途中与空间站分离的那一刻起，它就必须启动自己的热控制系统，以保持温度在17-25度之间，这对于宇航员是理想的条件。当宇宙飞船进入地球大气层时，它会导致超过1000摄氏度的温度，所以飞船底部有一个隔热罩来保护自己不受高温的影响)”可知，太空舱里的温度是根据宇航员的情况进行控制的。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“High efficient communication is another promise of the safe return. The ground teams including control center in Beijing, landing site and rescue teams use the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System.(高效的沟通是安全归来的另一个保证。包括北京控制中心、着陆点和救援队在内的地面团队使用北斗卫星导航系统。)”可知，使用北斗卫星导航系统的目的的为了确保太空舱的位置。故选B。

Cakes are made by baking a mixture of flour, sugar, eggs, and butter. They come in just about any flavor you can imagine — from chocolate and lemon to unusual flavors like pumpkin. ____16____ This sweet topping also comes in just about any flavor imaginable.
We often eat cakes to celebrate birthdays, weddings, and other important events. All this talk about cake has brought my attention to a common expression: to have your cake and eat it too. ____17____
One is where two good things happen at the same time. For example, a friend of mine loves to read so she got a job at a library. Now, she reads all day long and gets paid! It talks about having your cake and eating it too!
____18____ Here’s an example: My friend is overjoyed to have a baby. Meanwhile, she has a good job that pays well. Now she has to quit the job and spends more time with her new baby by working from home. We can say that she is having her cake and eating it too!
Now, here is another expression of our cake idiom: You can’t have your cake and eat it too. ____19____ In the negative, it means you cannot have nor do two things at the same time. You must decide which one you want because you can’t have both. For example, let’s say your friend is complaining about the amount of taxes he pays. But at the same time, he complains about the lack of services the city provides. You could say to him, “Look, you can’t have your cake and eat it too.”
“You can’t have your cake and eat it too” also means we should not try to have more than is reasonable. In other words, you can’t possess the cake and eat it at the same time. Once the cake is eaten, it is gone.
In conclusion, as time goes by, more changes might be seen. ____20____
A. Better services cost money.
B. We don’t always use this idiom wisely.
C. Do not forget about the icing on the top.
D. We commonly use it in negative situations.
E. It is possible that idioms would expand more meanings in the future.
F. This expression can be used to describe a couple of different situations.
G. We also use the idiom to describe a situation where two good things happen but don’t exist together in the same situation.
【答案】16. C 17. F 18. G 19. D 20. E
【解析】
【导语】本文议论文。文章探讨了“鱼和熊掌不可兼得”这个习语。
【16题详解】
上文“Cakes are made by baking a mixture of flour, sugar, eggs, and butter. They come in just about any flavor you can imagine — from chocolate and lemon to unusual flavors like pumpkin. (蛋糕是用面粉、糖、鸡蛋和黄油的混合物烘烤而成的。它们几乎有你能想象到的任何口味——从巧克力、柠檬到南瓜等不同寻常的口味。)”讲述蛋糕是一种受欢迎的甜点，下文“This sweet topping also comes in just about any flavor imaginable.(这种甜的配料也有几乎你能想象到的任何口味。)”综述配料几乎可以适合任何口味，C项“别忘了还有糖霜。”符合语境，承接上文讲述蛋糕的配料。故选C。
【17题详解】
上文“We often eat cakes to celebrate birthdays, weddings, and other important events. All this talk about cake has brought my attention to a common expression: to have your cake and eat it too.(我们经常吃蛋糕来庆祝生日、婚礼等重要活动。所有这些关于蛋糕的讨论让我注意到了一个常见的短语：to have your cake and eat it too(两者兼得)。)”提到了短语“两者兼得”，F项“This expression”呼应上文，因此推断F项“这个习语可以用来描述几种不同的情况。”符合语境，引出下文的解释。故选F。
【18题详解】
根据下文的举例“Here’s an example: My friend is overjoyed to have a baby. Meanwhile, she has a good job that pays well. Now she has to quit the job and spends more time with her new baby by working from home. We can say that she is having her cake and eating it too!(这里有一个例子：我的朋友非常高兴有了一个孩子。同时，她有一份薪水不错的好工作。现在她不得不辞掉工作，在家工作，花更多的时间陪伴她刚出生的孩子。我们可以说她是鱼与熊掌兼得!)”讲述鱼和熊掌兼得的例子可知，本段讲述两者可以兼得，G项“我们也用这个习语来描述这样一种情况，即两件好事同时发生，但它们通常不会在同一种情况下共存。”符合语境。总括下文。故选G。
【19题详解】
上文“Now, here is another expression of our cake idiom: You can’t have your cake and eat it too. (这是“to have your cake and eat it too”的另一种形式。你不能鱼和熊掌兼得)”讲述了这个习语的否定式，鱼和熊掌不可兼得，D项中的“ in negative situations”呼应上文的“You can’t have your cake and eat it too.”，和下文的“In the negative”，因此推断D项“我们也经常用其否定形式”符合语境，故选D。
【20题详解】
空处是最后一句，起总结作用，根据上文“In conclusion, as time goes by, more changes might be seen.(总之，随着时间的推移，可能会看到更多的变化。)”可知，随着时间的推移，会有更多地变化，因此推断E项“习语在未来可能会扩展更多的含义。”符合语境。故选E。

47. 阅读下面的材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
After 22 years of marriage, I have discovered the secret to keep love alive in my relationship with my wife, Peggy. I started dating with another woman.
It was Peggy’s idea. One day she said to me, “Life is too short, you need to spend time with the people you love. You probably won’t believe me, but I know you love her and I think that if the two of you spend more time together, it will make us closer.”
The “other” woman my wife was encouraging me to date is my mother, a 72-year-old widow who has lived alone since my father died 20 years ago. Right after his death, I moved 2, 500 miles away to California and started my own life and career. When I moved back near my hometown six years ago, I promised myself that I would spend more time with Mom. But with the demands of my job and three kids, I never got around to seeing her much beyond family get-togethers and holidays.
Mom was surprised when I called and suggested the two of us go out to dinner.
“What’s wrong ” she asked.
“I thought it would be nice to spend some time with you,” I said. “Just the two of us.”
“I would like that a lot,” she said.
When I pulled into her driveway, she was waiting by the door with her coat on. Her hair was curled, and she was smiling. “I told my friends I was going out with my son, and they were all impressed. They can’t wait to hear about our evening,” Mom said.
注意：
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;

Para 1: Minutes later, we arrived at a restaurant in the neighborhood.

Para 2:“How was your date ” Peggy asked when I got home.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文：
Minutes later, we arrived at a restaurant in the neighborhood. Since Mom’s eyes could only see large shapes and shadows, I had to read the menu for both of us. “It is time to let me return the favor,” I said. We had a nice talk over dinner, catching up on each other’s lives. We had been talking for so long until the restaurant closed. “I’ll go out with you again,” my mother said pleasantly as I dropped her off. Kissing goodbye with Mom, I drove home later.
“How was your date ” Peggy asked when I got home. “Nice…nicer than I thought it would be,” I said. I hugged Peggy tightly, whispering “Thank you, darling. You taught me the importance of family bond.” Peggy smiled and replied, “Yes, as your wife, I am willing to expect your more dates with Mom, for I love you.” Peggy was right. Dating another woman has helped my marriage.

Growing up, I was always fortunate to be around my grandfather’s well-cared garden. Not only was it a nice garden in the visual sense, but the vegetables and fruit that he grew in it were also often on the dinner table, so it was also a very practical garden. This was a result of the times. He and millions others grew up in difficult time during 1930s, in which vegetables grown in gardens helped people add their poor incomes.
I had just been an admirer of the work done by him until quite recently, when I decided to turn my hand to growing some plants. Unlike my grandfather, I don’t have a large garden to do this. Like millions of other people, I only have a small balcony to conduct my planting activities, but that has not discouraged me in the slightest.
It’s possible to make a nice “garden” even in the most limited space, but not everyone could be successful. I had already tried to grow some flowers, but it was a hopeless failure, so my attention and efforts then turned to something much more practical: vegetables. I decided to take the seeds of one little tomato and plant them in a number of pots. After several weeks, I was amazed by the results. I now have about 15 tomato plants on my balcony in different stages of growth.
It’s a rewarding sight to see this greenery on my balcony. Not only does it look nice, it’s also a good feeling that I have made my own little contribution to nature. And in this day and age in which we have such fast-paced lives and depend on modern technology for so much, it’s very rewarding to be taking part in a practice which is as old as time itself, as plant life is the most basic and oldest “technology” on our planet. Even if you don’t consider yourself to have “green fingers”, it is something that’s well worth having a try of —— you could be amazed by the results.
4. What did the author think of his grandfather’s garden
A. Beautiful and useful B. Boring and difficult.
C. Broken and impractical. D. Attractive and welcome
5. How about the planting in author’s limited space according to paragraph 3
A. A complete failure for the lack of a large garden
B. All vegetables grew better than flowers on the balcony
C. Flowers were more practical compared with vegetables.
D. Vegetables’ planting was more successful than flowers
6. What do the underlined words “green fingers” mean in the last paragraph
A. The ability to make plants grow B. A big balcony to grow green plants.
C The skills to master modern technology. D. Greenery on our balcony
7. What does the author suggest people to do according to the passage!
A. Get used to the fast-paced life B. Actively apply modern technology.
C. Build a large enough balcony. D. Contribute to nature by planting.
C
For years, learning to speak Cantonese was not that hard in San Francisco. It is a place where Cantonese speakers from South China have moved for over 150 years. But now, there is fear that the Cantonese language and culture might not survive present social changes. Cantonese is spoken by some 85 million people worldwide. In comparison, there are around 1 billion Mandarin (or Putonghua) speakers.
In Britain, as in the U. S., most schools that offer Chinese usually teach Mandarin. As a result, many families are struggling to find ways to pass on their Cantonese language and culture. Ceci Pang runs classes for children at Rainbow Seeds Cantonese School in London. “Many parents want their kids to be able to communicate with their grandparents,” she said. “It’s just so hard here, there are so few learning resources and lots of parents get upset. That’s usually the point the parents come to me.”
In China, there are Cantonese television programs as well as Cantonese announcements on public transport. In Hong Kong, however, Cantonese remains the city’s top language. It is used by 90 percent of the population according to an assistant professor at the Education University of Hong Kong.
It is a different story in the U. S. The teaching of Cantonese has decreased somewhat, including in San Francisco, a city that has drawn many Cantonese speakers over the years. The San Francisco school system has Cantonese and Mandarin programs for younger students. But in high school, Mandarin is the only Chinese language available. This spring, some independent Chinese schools are helping to teach the language as Cantonese-speaking communities grow. Aleyda Poe has been managing the Cantonese kindergarten at Merit Chinese School in Plano, Texas, for more than 10 years. Poe put her two sons in the school so that they could learn about Cantonese language and culture. Now, she is helping other families do the same.
8. What are the Cantonese speakers worried about
A. Survival of Cantonese language and culture. B. Increasing social changes in San Francisco.
C. More and more Mandarin speakers worldwide. D. Less Cantonese speakers in South China.
9. How does Ceci Pang help to handle Cantonese learning in London
A. By visiting and talking with local families. B. By organizing language classes for kids
C. By reducing Chinese culture teaching at schools D. By using unlimited online resources
10. What is implied about Cantonese learning both in China and the U. S.
A. San Francisco is a city with the most Cantonese learners
B. Cantonese is learnt by 90 percent of the population in China
C. Learning resources and opportunities are limited in the U. S.
D. There are no Cantonese learning programs in San Francisco
11. Which can be the suitable title for the text
A. Importance to improve Cantonese learning globally.
B. Current status of Cantonese learning overseas
C. A brief introduction to Cantonese learning history in U. S.
D. Debates between Cantonese and Mandarin learning
D
A reentry capsule(太空舱)carrying the crew —— Chen Dong, Liu Yang and Cai Xuzhe —— touched down on Earth at the Dongfeng Landing Site in northwestern China’s Gobi Desert after flying nine hours. This has become the first time that Chinese astronauts have returned to Earth at night, which meant low temperatures and low visibility. Many technologies were developed to make sure the Shenzhou - 14 crewed spaceship went back safely.
The temperatures can be tricky. From the moment the spaceship separated from the space station on the way home, it has to start its own thermal (热 的) control system to keep the temperature between 17 and 25 degrees, an ideal condition for the astronauts. When the spaceship enters Earth’ atmosphere, it can cause temperatures of over 1, 000 degree Celsius, so the ship has a heat shield on its bottom to protect itself from the high temperature.
High efficient communication is another promise of the safe return. The ground teams including control center in Beijing, landing site and rescue teams use the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System. The rescue helicopters also have a smart system to help predict the path of the reentry capsule during landing.
When the spaceship is 10 kilometers above the ground, the three parachutes (降落伞) will open one after another. The size of the parachutes will expand from only several square meters to over 1, 000 square meters, gradually reducing the spaceship speed from 200 meters per second to seven meters per second, which protects astronauts from gravity force overload. “It’s like when we’re driving, we need to slow down gradually, ”said Rong Wei, chief designer of manned spaceship at the 5th Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group, At the same time, the engine will be ready for a soft landing.
12. Why was Shenzhou- 14 spaceship’s returning different than before
A. Because the landing site is in the Desert.
B. Because there are less astronauts in Shenzhou- 14.
C. Because the returning time was put off.
D. Because it was cold and dark outside.
13. What do we know about the temperature change in the capsule
A. It was controlled to fit astronauts’ condition.
B. It was the highest at the very beginning.
C. It went to the frozen point in the atmosphere.
D. It kept dropping before starting the control system.
14. What is the purpose of using the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System
A. To design the best landing spot. B. To assure the location of the capsule.
C. To control the temperature in capsule. D. To send orders from the capsule.
15 What is the main idea of the last paragraph
A. How the engine expanded parachutes. B. How the gravity force influenced landing.
C. How the landing parachutes worked. D. How astronauts controlled the landing.

Cakes are made by baking a mixture of flour, sugar, eggs, and butter. They come in just about any flavor you can imagine — from chocolate and lemon to unusual flavors like pumpkin. ____16____ This sweet topping also comes in just about any flavor imaginable.
We often eat cakes to celebrate birthdays, weddings, and other important events. All this talk about cake has brought my attention to a common expression: to have your cake and eat it too. ____17____
One is where two good things happen at the same time. For example, a friend of mine loves to read so she got a job at a library. Now, she reads all day long and gets paid! It talks about having your cake and eating it too!
____18____ Here’s an example: My friend is overjoyed to have a baby. Meanwhile, she has a good job that pays well. Now she has to quit the job and spends more time with her new baby by working from home. We can say that she is having her cake and eating it too!
Now here is another expression of our cake idiom: You can’t have your cake and eat it too. ____19____ In the negative, it means you cannot have nor do two things at the same time. You must decide which one you want because you can’t have both. For example, let’s say your friend is complaining about the amount of taxes he pays. But at the same time, he complains about the lack of services the city provides. You could say to him, “Look, you can’t have your cake and eat it too.”
“You can’t have your cake and eat it too” also means we should not try to have more than is reasonable. In other words, you can’t possess the cake and eat it at the same time. Once the cake is eaten, it is gone.
In conclusion, as time goes by, more changes might be seen. ____20____
A. Better services cost money.
B. We don’t always use this idiom wisely.
C. Do not forget about the icing on the top.
D. We commonly use it in negative situations.
E. It is possible that idioms would expand more meanings in the future.
F. This expression can be used to describe a couple of different situations.
G. We also use the idiom to describe a situation where two good things happen but don’t exist together in the same situation.

After 22 years of marriage, I have discovered the secret to keep love alive in my relationship with my wife, Peggy. I started dating with another woman.
It was Peggy’s idea. One day she said to me, “Life is too short, you need to spend time with the people you love. You probably won’t believe me, but I know you love her and I think that if the two of you spend more time together, it will make us closer.”
The “other” woman my wife was encouraging me to date is my mother, a 72-year-old widow who has lived alone since my father died 20 years ago. Right after his death, I moved 2, 500 miles away to California and started my own life and career. When I moved back near my hometown six years ago, I promised myself that I would spend more time with Mom. But with the demands of my job and three kids, I never got around to seeing her much beyond family get-togethers and holidays.
Mom was surprised when I called and suggested the two of us go out to dinner.
“What’s wrong ” she asked.
“I thought it would be nice to spend some time with you,” I said. “Just the two of us.”
“I would like that a lot,” she said.
When I pulled into her driveway, she was waiting by the door with her coat on. Her hair was curled, and she was smiling. “I told my friends I was going out with my son, and they were all impressed. They can’t wait to hear about our evening,” Mom said.
