The light came nearer and nearer and suddenly Joe saw that it was a spaceship. The spaceship landed in a field quickly.The door of the spaceship opened and two strange beings(生物) climbed out. They seemed(看起来) to be half man and half bird. Joe was afraid of them. He tried to run away. But the spacemen walked towards him, picked him up and carried him into the spaceship. They put wires(电线) from a machine onto his head and then they could speak to him in English.They asked him questions about the earth. “We are from Venus(金星),” they said, “But it is getting very hot there. A lot of our people are dying and there isnt much time left. We are trying to find a new home.” After some time, they freed Joe and at last the spaceship took off and couldnt be seen.Joe told his friends about the spacemen, but no one believes his story. “Youll believe me one day, ” Joe told them. “The spacemen will come back.”26 .

What does the underlined word “dying” mean?A有希望的B热情的C后悔的D奄奄一息的While many women are busy with planning their bridal showers (新娘送礼会), a baby shower usually comes as a complete surprise. A baby shower is a party where a pregnant (怀孕的) woman is “showered” with gifts and good wishes. A baby shower is usually given by a close female friend or a relative of the mother-to-be. Sometimes co-workers of a pregnant person will also hold a baby shower for her.The baby shower is usually given when the mother-to-be is between 6 and 9 months pregnant. Predicting the date of a babys birth isnt always exact. Sometimes a baby shower can also happen after the baby is born. A baby shower can be held in someones home or outside, like in a restaurant or a catering hall. Traditionally only women are invited to a baby shower. However, more and more baby showers are also including the father-to-be.Like a bridal shower, a mother-to-be will register (登记) a wish list of things she wants at one or several stores. This list usually includes things the mother wants for her baby like clothes, diapers and even furniture. This way friends and family members can go to the stores and buy something from the list. Registering helps make sure that there arent repeat items, like 30 bottles when a new mom only needed 15.At a baby shower, people can give cards with wishes for the new baby and mom. Most of these cards also include money or gift cards to help the mom-to-be buy whatever else she needs for the baby. Sometimes there are games as well. In one game everyone guesses the date of the baby. Another game lets people taste baby food and guess the flavor.29 . Who was only invited to a baby shower traditionally?AMen.BChildren.CWomen.DPregnant women.30 . Why does a mother-to-be register a wish list of things?ATo prevent others from buying the repeat items.BTo remind herself to buy some items for the party.CTo remember to buy the necessary things for her friends.DTo invite friends or family members to the baby shower.31 . What can friends and family members do at a baby shower?APlay games.BGet some money and gifts.CFeed the baby.DRegister a wish list of things.32 . According to the passage, we know that _.Athe baby shower only happens at homeBthe baby shower never takes place after the baby is bornCpeople have baby showers instead of bridal showers nowDpeople hold the baby shower to send wishes to the mother-to-beHowever exciting space travel sounds, astronauts must still suffer with bad food. Now, food in space has to be dehydrated（使脱水）or pre-cooked and stored. This means astronauts arent really eating fresh food.New technology may change this. Scientific American reports that a specially-designed oven will be sent into space this autumn with NASAs NG-12 cargo（货物）.Far from the common vacuum-packed（真空包装的）meals, astronauts may get to enjoy freshly baked cookies before the end of 2019.Why arent they baking cookies in space already?For one thing, theres the risk of a fire. Engineers also have to overcome the challenge of microgravity, which prevents heat from circling inside ovens the same way it does on Earth.Astronauts will still have to wait a while before they can have their cookies, though. After baking, the results will be sent back to Earth for safety testing. If successful, this will be the first oven to bake food in space.“I believethat will be game-changing for both science and astronauts, ”food technology researcher Maeena Naman Shafiee told Scientific American.One of the main driving forces behind this project has been NASAs 2018 research into the effects of confinement（封闭）and isolation（隔离）”. Unlike on the International Space Station（ISS）, astronauts traveling out of Earths orbit may not be able to speak to their loved ones on future missions, which could lead to negative feelings.Its hoped that the chance to bake and sense familiar smells can bring joy to crews（宇航人员）. “Is the ISS going to smell like fresh-baked cookies? We dont know, ”said NanoRacks communications manager Abby Dickes. “But thats a feeling we all know and lovethat will make someone feel at home.”Baking cookies in space would mark an important step, offering a small comfort in the difficult and unfamiliar environment of space travel. Astronauts have already grown plants aboard the ISS.With commercial（商业的）space travel now being planned, who knows what other developments may surprise us in the future33 . What can the new technology help astronauts to do in space?AStore more food.BEnjoy fresh cookies.CQuickly prepare food.DCook many different kinds of home-made meals.34 . Why is it difficult to bake cookies in space?ABecause its difficult and costly to send food into space.BBecause microgravity stops food from staying in one place.CBecause baking cookies in space would pollute the spaceships.DBecause it is hard to heat food properly because of microgravity.35 . What was the main purpose of the cookie project?ATo improve astronauts health.BTo make improvements in space travel.CTo encourage more people to travel to space.DTo make space travel more comfortable for astronauts.A recent report from Dazhou Daily says about 18% of Dazhou teenagers can have problems with their minds(内心，精神)Some students become worried because they have to study very hard.Others have trouble getting on well with people like their parents and classmates.Zhang Qiang，a Junior 2 student from Dazhou，could not understand his teachers in class and was doing badly in his lessons.He was afraid of exams.When he looked at the exam paper，he couldnt think of anything to write.Another student，a 15yearold girl called Wu Yan from Guangan often argued with her classmates even her parents because of some different ideas.She became so annoyed about them that she started to cut her finger with a knife.However，many students who have problems wont go for advice or help.Some think they will look stupid(愚蠢的) if they go to see a doctor.Others dont want to talk about their secrets.In order to solve the teenagers problems，here is some advice：Talk to your parents or teachers often.Take part in group activities and play sports.Go to see a doctor if you feel unhappy or unwell.36 .
