Are you different because you are the first, second, or third child in your familyor maybe the last of nine?A study found that first-borns have an average IQ that is three points higher than people who fall into a different place in the birth order, perhaps because first-borns often help younger brothers and sisters, which improves their own skills. In 2007, an international organization of CEOs found that 43% of CEOs are first-borns, 33% are middle children, and 23% are last-borns. First-borns are more likely to be doctors and astronauts and get higher pay.If first-borns are more successful, last-borns are generally more agreeable. They are also more likely to be funny, possibly to get attention from all the bigger people at the dinner table. Mark Twain and Stephen Colbert were both the youngest in large families, and Jim Carrey was the youngest of four. According to a 2007 Time magazine article, “The power of Birth Order.” last-borns are more likely to be artists and successful businessmen.Then there are the middle children: we have not ignored (忽视) them! Many middle children are short of one-on-one time with their parents. They often feel short-changed: the oldest gets more rights, and the youngest is spoiled (宠坏的). Though they may be ignored, middle children are more likely to grow into easy-going adults.Many factors make us who we are, but if the research is correct, birth order may be one of the most important factors.14 . Who is most likely to be a CEO?AA first-born.BA second-born.CA third-born.DA last-born.15 . What can we learn about Jim Carrey?AHe is a middle child.BHe is likely to be serious.CHe is a successful businessman.DHe is likely to be agreeable.16 .

What would be the best title for the text?AWhat makes you powerfulBHow you can be a CEOCWhat influence birth order has on youDHow you can grow upEarlier this year, China achieved a new milestone (里程碑) in space research. On January 3, 2019, Change-4 became the first lunar probe (月球探测器) in history to successfully land on the far side of the moon. The Earths gravity (重力) slows the moons rotation (自转), matching it to the speed of its orbit (公转). Therefore, the far side of the moon is almost dark and has never been seen. Its this sense of the unknown that makes the far side of the moon such an interesting place for scientific and space research. Being blown by solar (太阳的) winds, the far side may have the special minerals (矿物质 ). For this reason, Change-4 will study the effect of solar winds on the lunar surface and any mineral found by the spacecraft. Change-4 is also carrying flower seeds, potatoes and silkworm eggs to see whether life is possible on the moon. If it is, then the moon will become a possible choice for space travel in the future. However, research of the dark side isnt easy. As the far side is blocked（阻断） off from us, radio noise coming off Earth is also blocked. This is why Chinas relay satellite (中继卫星) Queqiao was sent up in May, 2018. Thanks to Queqiao, the communication problem betweenEarth and Change-4 has been well solved. Power supply (电源供应) is also a challenge to the task. Change-4 gets energy from the sun through its solar panels. As we know, a lunar day has the length (长度) of 28 Earth days. After Change-4 was sent up on December 8, 2018, it took the probe over 20 days to orbit the moon to be in a position to be able to land in moon daylight and use its solar panels. Luckily, everything goes well, Change-4 has worked on the dark side for over 5 months. It has sent back many photos of the far side of the moon and has been used to carry out some scientific experiments. The New York Times used the word groundbreaking to praise the task and wrote that it will offer help to the history and development of the moon.19 . When was Change-4 sent up?AIn May, 2018.BOn December 8, 2018.COn January 3, 2019.DThe passage doesnt tell us.20 . The main tasks of Change-4 dont include _.Astudying if life is possible on the moonBstudying the effect of solar winds on the lunar surfaceCsolving the communication problem between Earth and other probesDresearching any mineral found by the spacecraft21 . The meaning of the underlined word groundbreaking in the last paragraph is the closest to _.AharmfulBunpredictableCriskyDpioneering22 . According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?AChange-4 has sent back many photos of the far side of the moon.BA lunar day has the length of 28 Earth days.CChinas relay satellite Queqiao was sent up in order to offer power supply to probes.DChange-4 is the first lunar probe in history that has successfully landed on the dark side of the moon.三、用单词的正确形式完成短文able,began,different,heavier,description,day,put,relax,explained,painOne day,our English teacher Mr Smith came into the classroom with a book in his handHe started his lesson with a question，“Who can 23 . what stress(压力) is like?” No one answeredThen he raised the book and asked,“How heavy is the book?” We 24 . to think and guessOne student stood up and said,“I think it is 100g” Another student said，“It is 200g.” Our answers were 25 . .At last，Mr Smith26 . ，“It doesnt matter about the real weightIt depends on how long you hold itIf I hold it for a minute,it is OKIf I hold it for an hour,I will have a 27 . in my right arm.If I hold it for a28 . ,you will have to call a doctorIt is the exact same weight,but the longer I hold it,the29 . it becomesThis book stands for stressIf you hold it without 30 . it down，sooner or later,you will not be 31 . to keep onNo matter how much stress you have，stop and have a rest for a while if possible.Boys and girls，you should learn32 . yourselves.I am sure you will live a happy school life” We will never forget Mr Smith and the meaningful(有意义的) lesson阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容，从下面方框内所给11个词中选择10个意义相符的词，必要时进行词形变化，填入空白处每空一词。like close from be have because call eight photo cold withlike close from be have because call eight photo cold withThe solar system has eight planets.
