【題目】 Set your clocks for 4:32 pm(eastern time)on May 27th, 2020. If everything goes as planned, a rocket will launch from Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

1 So what’s the big deal? The big deal is collection of firsts set to blast off on the 27th of May. The first humans carried aboard a rocket developed by a private company. The first humans aboard a reusable rocket.

Ever since the opening days of the space age, NASA has designed, built, and flown its very own rockets, and capsules. 2 The privately-held company Space X will be providing the big rocket boost(加濕器)needed to get NASA’s astronauts to the space, aboard a Falcon 9 rocket topped with a Dragon crew capsule.

3 It is trying to make access to space cheaper, chiefly through the use of reusable rockets- once the payload is delivered into orbit, bring the rocket back down the Earth and polish it up for another ride.

In the meantime, NASA has spent the past decade in a highly bureaucratic version of hell. After the sad end of the space shuttle program in 2011, the American space agency was forced to rent seats on Russian made and Russian launched Soyuz rockets to get astronauts up to the International Space Station.

4 And now, if everything goes as planned on May 27th, we will make human access to space cheaper, more reliable, and absolutely easier. 5 Space tourism? Moon bases? I would say that the sky is limit, but the sky is just the start.

A.But this time, it’s different.

B.Rockets go off all the time from the Earth.

C.This made for great wounded national pride.

D.Most of the astronauts haven’t made it up into space.

E.Space X has spent the past decades working tirelessly.

F.NASA has been developing a new space launch system.

G.It’s impossible to say what kind of revolutions that might lead to.

【題目】 Studying makes you tired?1Here is some advice that may add happiness to your life.

Breathe

Taking a deep breath in stressful situations has proven to be helpful. Slow, deep breathing stops the mind focusing on whatever else might be going on, and actively lowers stress levels. Practice breathing can help you to build up a great attitude to your life.

Rest at weekends

Weekends are time for a rest. After a week's hard work, weekends are the best time for you to relax yourself. Having a nice lie-in(懶覺)is a good idea.2

Cry out or laugh out

If you feel sad, don't try to hide your feelings. Crying out or laughing out may help to reduce your sadness. If possible, laugh more.3If you are able to smile during your day, you'll soon begin to see the effects of stress slowly disappear.

Keep a diary

Instead of allowing a jumble(混亂)of thoughts and ideas to jump around inside your head, let them fall out onto your computer keyboard instead.4They don't even have to make sense. Minutes later, you might be surprised at how light, airy and carefree you feel.

Join in activities

5Going out with friends for a trip will also make you happy. And it will also bring you a good sleep.

Enjoy a big meal

It's not a good idea for a kid to lose weight, so you don't need to eat less food. When you feel upset, enjoy a big meal. Eating delicious food will make you feel good.

A.Taking frequent breaks away from the screen makes your stress disappear.

B.Sleep is certainly necessary for avoiding high stress levels.

C.Laughing can calm the nerves and reduce stress.

【題目】Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

Possible Limitations of Online Learning

If eLearning, however, is not based on solid instructional design theories and models it may lead to the following limitations:

1. It may be a "solo" act.

It is true that, although online learning might be convenient and flexible, it is also a solo act. It will not be easy for all of your learners to feel comfortable when participating in online discussions and engaging more actively with their online instructors or their virtual classmates. Some people absolutely need personal contact with their educators or trainers in order to learn successfully. Furthermore, some types of learning problems may be difficult to be addressed online, and some questions can be lost in a sea of requests and inquiries. 1

2. 2

However hard we try to fully transfer human communication to online platforms, however natural it seems to form relationships behind computer screens, a virtual environment is just not human. Nothing can replace human contact. Besides, using a computer or a tablet all the time can cause poor vision, strain injuries, and other physical problems. Consider sending guidelines about right sitting posture, desk height, etc. along with your eLearning course; it might be very useful to your audience.

3. It requires self-discipline.

If your eLearning audience lacks self-discipline, it is unlikely that they will be motivated to self study. Traditional learning and training have the benefit of easily tracking both progress and falling behind. 3

4. Possible lack of control.

However carefully you design your eLearning course, there is no guarantee that your messages will get across. You offer your learners control over their eLearning experience, but are they going to use it effectively? There is always the risk of your learners just going through the material without paying any attention. 4 Unless you know exactly what you’re doing with new technologies, it is very likely that you overwhelm or distract your audience.

Creating effective online learning courses requires knowledge, time, experience, commitment, great communication skills, and a true passion for learning. If you’ve got all that, then be sure that the advantages of your online training outweigh its limitations.

A.It may be impersonal.

B.If your eLearning content is not built to make the most of the medium it will easily become disengaging.

C.This sometimes makes learners feel they lack support and reassurance.

D.It may harm your mental health.

E.Online learning requires some IT literacy, yet not every one of your learners has much experience of computers.

F.This works for many learners as well, as some people prefer their progress to be closely monitored in order to perform.

When I was in middle school, I enjoyed reading science books, and they were really difficult to understand them. Whenever a problem beats me, I would turn to my physics teacher for help. Go through materials together page by page, we were tearing the mask of nature off. It was his guidance which encouraged me to study physics serious today. Now we’re in a period when science plays an important role on people’s lives. From construction workers who build laboratories to teachers who pass on knowledges, everyone contributes to science in their own unique ways. All in all, science is everlasting topic for mankind.

【題目】 Ice hockey’s beginning is a little uncertain. It has been tracked back to an Irish game known as hurley by some experts. Others consider ice hockey as having come from lacrosse and field games that were played by Micmac Indians. Still others say that hockey evolved in Northern Europe. At any rate, it is quite likely that ice hockey came into being from different early games played with a stick and a ball.

In the 1850s, the first recorded games of ice hockey were played, and in the 1870s, the first set of ice hockey rules were written by a group of students at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. These rules set up the use of a puck (冰球) replacing a ball and decided the number of players to be nine per team. The year 1880 brought the organization of the first amateur hockey league. Over the next several years, ice hockey’s popularity spread across Canada. It was around 1893 that ice hockey was first played in the United States. There have been several ice hockey leagues. The best known is the National Hockey League, which came into being in 1917 in Canada.

Ice hockey has the oldest sports trophy(獎(jiǎng)杯)in North America. It had become so widespread in Canada that a trophy was presented by the Governor General of Canada to be awarded to the top hockey team. Lord Stanley of Preston was the name of the Governor General, and the trophy became Known as the Stanley Cup.

Not many changes have been made to the initial rules set forth in the 1870s. The main ones have been the decrease from nine players to six and the progression of new and better equipment. In 1910-11, the game changed from two 30-minute periods to three 20-minute periods. In 1943-44, the red line at center ice was introduced to speed up the game. In 2005-06, goalkeeper equipment was downsized.

1When was the first amateur hockey league formed?

A.In the 1850s.B.In the 1870s.

C.In 1880.D.In 1893.

2Where did the name of the Stanley Cup come from?

A.The top hockey team captain.

B.The Governor General of Canada.

C.The oldest sports trophy maker.

D.The leader of the first hockey league.

3How has the ice hockey sport changed?

A.Its initial rules have been given up.

B.It has fewer players on a team.

C.Its total match time has been reduced.

D.It needs much less equipment.

4What’s the text mainly about?

A.The rules of the ice hockey sport.

B.The great changes of the ice hockey sport.

C.The history of the ice hockey sport.
