Whether we’re young or old, rich or poor, we have one thing in common: The moon has always looked down at each of us when it lights up the night sky.
Just like a mirror, the moon reflects the sun’s light. It can also reflect people’s feelings. This is probably why the moon is always popular among Western and Chinese music, poems（诗歌） and other forms of literature. So when we look at the moon, what exactly do we see looking back at us
Well, that depends on who’s looking.
The ancient Greek poet（诗人） Sappho, for example, saw the moon as a woman who lit up space with her beauty.
Later in England, however, the moon’s image（形象） was completely different. In the Middle Ages, English people often drank to get away from difficult life. In their eyes, the moon was a man who liked drinking. In London, at least three pubs（酒馆） were named Man in the Moon. It’s probably because the bright moon at night looks like a man’s red face after drinking. A popular song sung in pubs at that time even went, “Our man in the moon drinks wine...”
The moon is also a popular subject in Chinese poems. Chinese Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai’s Quiet Night Thoughts reads, “Up towards the glorious moon I raise my head, then lay me down and thoughts of home arise.” Similarly, Zhang liuling wrote in another poem, “Looking at the moon and thinking of one far away. ”So in
Chinese culture, when people look at the moon, they may miss their hometown and someone. Very interesting, right
（ ）44．Which phenomenon（现象） does the underlined sentence show
A． B． C． D．
（ ）45．What does the moon probably stand for in ancient Greece
A．A beautiful woman. B．The hometown.
C．A wine- loving man. D．The person who you miss.
（ ）46．Why were the pubs named Man in the Moon in London during the Middle Ages
A．Because people believed that a man lived on the moon.
B．Because people liked looking up at the moon while drinking.
C．Because people wanted to get away from their difficult life to the moon.
D．Because people thought the bright moon looked like a man’s red face after drinking.
（ ）47．What does the text mainly talk about
A．The further study on the moon.
B．The moon’s images in different cultures.
C．Different ways to praise（赞美） the moon around the world.
D．The relationship between the moon and people in different times.
C
Facial recognition technology（人脸识别技术） is widely used today. For example, police use it to search for bad guys. It’s also used to unlock phones, open doors or make quick payments. Even when people wear masks, they can be recognized. Now, a similar technology, known as facial detection（探测）, is entering a new field: the business of advertising.
Such systems are going through tests in a small number of stores. One facial detection system can judge（判断） a person’s “happiness” or “fear” level. That helps businesses see how people feel as they look at products or advertisements in the store. Another system can detect whether someone is wearing eyeglasses. If so, stores can send advertisements for new glasses to him.
Facial detection technology is also placed inside some large advertising boards. Cameras in those boards can detect information like people’s ages and five levels of feelings from “very happy” to “very unhappy”.
Supporters of the technology say it could improve buyers’ experience by showing products they might like or by offering them products at lower prices.
Some are against the idea of using such systems. Pam Dixon, head of a privacy（隐私） group, is one of them. She thinks ______. For example, a business could raise the price of a product according to a person’s age and feelings. However, one store testing the technology explained they wouldn’t store people’s information like names or ages. And the advertising board system maker said it didn’t keep any personal information or record any videos.
（ ）48．What does the underlined word “they” refer to
A．Supporters. B．Prices. C．Products. D．Buyers.
（ ）49．Which of the following can be put in the ______.
A．nobody likes to have their feelings collected
B．it’s very important to protect people’s privacy
C．the strange action may cause something unfair
D．stores may use them to have more customers
（ ）50．The best title of this passage may be “______”.
A．Technology Changing the World B．Technology Going into the Advertising Field
C．Technology Looking for Bad Guys D．Technology Improving People’s Health
（ ）51．Where is the text probably from
A．A science magazine. B．A guidebook.
C．A history book. D．A storybook.

Chongqing, a city surrounded by mountains and rivers in southwest China, is said to have the best night views in the country.
In recent years, it has become a hot travel place as many people are drawn by its delicious food and natural scenery.
Thanks to the development of the city’s landscape lighting（景观照明） system, evenings in Chongqing are more fascinating.
The traditional way to enjoy night views is to take the ship to explore the Yangtze and Jialing River. The ships run from 7:30 p. m. to 10 p. m. with each tour lasting about 45 minutes. Some ships also provide dinner and special cabins. On the ship, people can enjoy the views of Hongya Cave, bridges, the Opera House, fantastic downtown Chongqing with its skyscrapers and Chaotianmen Port. The port is where the two rivers meet and Raffles City Chongqing（重庆来福士广场） sits. This wonderful building was designed by architect Moshe Safdie. It is designed to look like a great ship sailing down the waterway. It is now a new landmark of Chongqing.
In addition to night tours on the rivers, the city is developing nightly bus tours for tourists. Visitors can go to the top of Nanshan Mountain and E’ling Park to get a wonderful view, or go to the Opera House on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and Yanyu Park on the south bank to look across the water, or even take the cable cars（缆车） to enjoy the night view from above.

①A smile shows that a person is happy. For example, a person may smile when he or she is pleased with a grade on a test. Or a person might smile if a friend told a funny joke. People smile for many different reasons. But smiles are more than just a way for people to show that they are happy. There are other good reasons to smile often.
②First, it is easier to smile than to show unhappiness. In fact, it only takes 17 muscles（肌肉） to smile. On the other hand, it takes 43 muscles to show unhappiness. So give the muscles in your face a rest and smile!
③Second, smiles are nice. People may try to look nice on the outside by exercising or wearing nice clothes. However, there is a famous saying: a smile is the best thing a person can wear. That is because it is easy to be around someone who is smiling and happy. Almost no one wants to be around someone who is unhappy all the time.
④Third, smiles are helpful. Both smiling and laughing can quickly spread from one person to another. If one person smiles, people around him or her want to smile, too. Similarly, when a person laughs, people tend to laugh with them. If a person is sad, the best thing to do is to share a smile or laugh. It is the easiest and cheapest way to cheer someone up.
⑤Finally, smiling and laughing are very good for the body. Even if you are mad or sad, try smiling. You’ll find that it will be hard to stay mad or sad for very long.
（ ）56．In what situation does a smile show that a person is happy
A．When he makes 43 muscles on the face work together.
B．When he is pleased with the grades on the tests.
C．When his friend tells him a scary story.
D．When someone around him is sad.
（ ）57．Which of the following is mentioned as a reason to smile
A．It is polite. B．It is quiet. C．It is free. D．It is easy.
（ ）58．What is the best title for this passage
A．The Reason of Smiling B．Ways of Making People Happy

Saturday s and Sundays, with the final competition on July 29 this year.

Village Super is about people’s love and passion（热情） for soccer. In Rongjiang, every village has its own soccer team that takes part in weekend games. Different age group teams compete in these events, with the youngest group below 18 and the oldest group above 50．Also, Village Super has provided a platform（平台） for soccer lovers to exchange ideas and improve their skills. Former Chinese national team player Fan Zhiyi and Hong Kong’s celebrity team also came to play in Rongjiang, leading to several high- quality friendly matches.
Thanks to its down- to- earth style, Village Super has further raised its popularity both at home and abroad. Chinese soccer has got a bad name because of the poor performance of the
