Space Station,so astronauts spend hours cleaning them up each week.How is NASA overcoming this very tiny big problem?Its turning to a bunch of high school kids.But not just any kids.It is depending on NASA HUNCH high school classrooms,like the one science teachers Gene Gordon and Donna Himmelberg lead at Fairport High School in Fairport,New York.HUNCH is designed to connect high school classrooms with NASA engineers.For the past two years,Gordons students have been studying ways to kill bacteria in zero gravity,and they think theyre close to a solution(解决方案).“We dont give the students any breaks.They have to do it just like NASA engineers,” says Florence Gold,a project manager.“There are no tests,” Gordon says.“There is no graded homework.There almost are no grades,other than Are you working towards your goal?Basically,its Ive got to produce this product and then,at the end of the year,present it to NASA.Engineers come and really do an in-person review,and. its not a very nice thing at times.Its a hard business review of your product.”Gordon says the HUNCH program has an impact(影响) on college admissions and practical life skills.“These kids are so absorbed in their studies that I just sit back.I dont teach.” And that annoying bacteria?Gordon says his students are emailing daily with NASA engineers about the problem,readying a workable solution to test in space.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了美国一所中学与NASA合作的科研项目HUNCH,鼓励学生开发创新思维,培养实际生活技能。1.What do we know about the bacteria in the International Space Station?A.They are hard to get rid of.B.They lead to air pollution.C.They appear in different forms.D.They damage the instruments.答案:A解析:推理判断题。根据第一段的第二句提到的“来自我们身体的微生物在国际空间站的表面无法控制地生长,所以宇航员每周要花几个小时来清理它们。”可知,在国际空间站,很难除掉细菌。2.What is the purpose of the HUNCH program?A.To strengthen teacher-student relationships.B.To sharpen students communication skills.C.To allow students to experience zero gravity.D.To link space technology with school education.答案:D解析:细节理解题。根据第二段的第一句“HUNCHisdesignedtoconnecthighschoolclassroomswithNASAengineers.”可知,该项目设计的目的是把教室和NASA的工程师们连接起来。分析选项可知,D项与该意思一致。3.What do the NASA engineers do for the students in the program?A.Check their product.B.Guide project designs.C.Adjust work schedules.D.Grade their homework.答案:A解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Ivegottoproducethisproductandthen,attheendoftheyear,presentittoNASA.Engineerscomeandreallydoanin-personreview.”可知,NASA的工程师们要亲自检查他们的成果。4.What is the best title for the text?A.NASA:The Home of AstronautsB.Space:The Final Homework FrontierC.Nature:An Outdoor ClassroomD.HUNCH:A College Admission Reform答案:B解析:主旨大意题。通读全文并结合文章的最后一句可知,戈登的学生每天都会给NASA的工程师发邮件,讨论这个问题,为太空测试准备一个可行的解决方案,故B项“太空:最后的作业前沿”作为文章的标题最合适。B(2019浙江卷)California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s,according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor(因素).The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46,000 square miles of California forests,the new study finds.No area was spared or unaffected,from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles.In the Sierra high country,the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent;in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.Many factors contributed to the decline,said Patrick McIntyre,an ecologist who was the lead author of the study.Woodcutters targeted big trees.Housing development pushed into the woods.Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources(资源).But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010,McIntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development.The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage.The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed,taking into account such things as rainfall,air temperature,dampness of soil,and the timing of snowmelt(融雪).Since the 1930s,McIntyre said,the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures,which cause trees to lose more water to the air,and earlier snowmelt,which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于加利福尼亚大树减少原因的研究结果。5.What is the second paragraph mainly about?A.The seriousness of big-tree loss in California.B.The increasing variety of California big trees.C.The distribution of big trees in California forests.D.The influence of farming on big trees in California.答案:A解析:段落大意题。通读第二段的内容可知,在加利福尼亚不同的地区,大树减少的程度都非常严重。由此可知,本段主要讲述加利福尼亚大树减少的严峻性。所以选A项。6.Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees?A.Ecological studies of forests.B.Banning woodcutting.C.Limiting housing development.D.Fire control measures.答案:D解析:细节理解题。根据第三段的最后一句“AggressivewildfirecontrolhasleftCaliforniaforestscrowdedwithsmalltreesthatcompetewithbigtreesforresources.”可知,对野火的控制本意是好的,但这却使得许多小树和大树争夺资源,所以选D项。7.What is a major cause of the water shortage according to McIntyre?A.Inadequate snowmelt.B.A longer dry season.C.A warmer climate.D.Dampness of the air.答案:C解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句中的“.thebiggestfactorsdrivingupwaterstressinthestatehavebeenrisingtemperatures.”可知,C项正确。8.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Californias Forests:Where Have All the Big Trees Gone?B.Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California SoonC.Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests?D.Patrick McIntyre:Grow More Big Trees in California答案:A解析:主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了加利福尼亚大树数目不断减少的原因。所以选A项。.阅读表达My father was 44 and knew he wasnt going to make it to 45.He wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life.Since the day I was 12 and first read his letter,some of his words have lived in my heart.One part always stands out.“Right now,you are pretending to be a time-killer.But I know that one day,you will do something great that will set you among the very best.” Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself.“You will do something great.” He didnt know what that would be,and neither did I,but at times in my life when Ive felt proud of myself,I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask,“Is this what you were talking about,Dad?Should I keep going?”A long way from 12 now,I realise he would have been proud when I made any progress.Lately,though,Ive come to believe hed want me to move on to what comes next:to be proud of and believe in somebody else.Its time to start writing my own letters to my children.Our children look to us with the same unanswered question we had.Our kids dont give up because theyre afraid to fail.Theyre only afraid of failing us.They dont worry about being disappointed.Their fearas mine was until my fathers letteris of being a disappointment.Give your children permission to succeed.Theyre waiting for you to believe in them.I always knew my parents loved me.But trust me:That belief will be more complete,that love will be more real,and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts:“Dont worry;youll do something great.” Not having that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back.1.Why did the father write a letter to the author?(no more than 20 words)答案:Because he would die and he wrote something to help the author for the rest of her life.2.What did the father mainly want the author to learn from his letter?(no more than 15 words)答案:He

down./Disappointing.4.According to the passage,how did the author overcome her fear?(no more than 10 words)答案:Her fathers letter helped her overcome the fear.5.If your parents were to write you a
