Building a traditional satellite usually takes years. The costs can be as high as $250 million or more. Most members of the design teams have worked in the field for a long time. They hold advanced degrees(学历) in math, science, or engineering.But things are changing. High costs, unusual educational needs and long start-up times are no longer an obstacle(障碍) to space exploration. The scientists have developed a new type of tiny, inexpensive earth-orbiting(轨道) satellite.So far, college students have built and launched(发射) several cube-shaped satellites, or CubeSats. At least 15 more are ready to go. Those already in orbit take pictures, collect information and send it back to the earth, just as regular satellites do.But you might not even have to wait until you get to college to start designing and building your own satellite. A new program called KatySat aims to get teenagers to take part in. When kids understand what satellites can do, the kinds of ideas theyll come up with may be countless.Education isnt the only aim of CubeSats because these tiny, technology-filled boxes are inexpensive to build and can be put together quickly, theyre perfect for testing new technologies that might one day be used on major space tasks.The biggest challenge now is to find ways to bring the satellites back to the earth after a year or two. Or space junk could gradually increase because CubeSats become more popular.Nowadays, college and high school students are getting a chance to learn what it takes to explore in space. Somedayperhaps a lot sooner that you imagingyou might get to design, build and launch your own satellite. If you do, youre sure to have fun. And you might also get crazy about science for life.（1）Building a traditional satellite _.A . costs $250,000 B . needs college studentsC . takes quite a long time（2）Compared with the traditional ones, the new satellites _.A . need long start-up timesB . are cheap and small-sizedC . collect more junk in orbit（3）The underlined word “countless” in Paragraph 4 probably means “_”.A . 无用的B . 无价值的C . 无数的（4）According to the passage, which of the following is true?A . CubeSats could possibly cause pollution in space.B . Scientists designed CubeSats for kids to play with.C . Students cant design satellites without college education.（5）The purpose of the author writing the passage is _.A . to tell us that satellite technology can also be learned by kidsB . to show that high technology brings a big change in kids lifeC . to tell us that kids must study hard to learn satellite technology24. （10分）阅读理解Height is just one of the features your genes(基因) decide. In fact, because you have two parents, your genes provide you a height that usually lands somewhere between the height of each parent. If both your parents are tall, then most probably you will be tall, too. But if you have questions about how tall youre going to be, ask your doctor if he or she can help you find them out.But genes dont decide everything. For example, eating an unhealthy diet can keep you from growing to your full potential(潜力). Getting plenty of sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to the expected height.Its natural that youre wondering how fast you should grow. Theres no perfect or right answer. Generally speaking, kids grow about 6 cm a year between age 3 and the time when they start puberty.Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the years. 2 cm here and 3 cm there make a little difference to the height youre at now. How have you been growing up to this height? What other changes may your body be going through?Dont be amazed if you seem to have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a growth spurt(高峰) during puberty. The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and about 11 for boys. But it can be earlier or later between 7 and 13 for girls and 9 and 15 for boys.Youll usually begin to notice that youre growing faster about a year after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty.根据材料内容选择最佳答案。（1）If you want to know how tall you should grow, _. A . you should have enough exerciseB . you can ask doctors for helpC . you should take some special medicineD . you can record your growth during puberty（2）The Chinese for the word “puberty” is _. A . 童年时期B . 婴幼儿时期C . 习惯养成期D . 生长发育期（3）This passage is mainly about _. A . how you look like your parentsB . how you grow to a certain heightC . how the genes work in your bodyD . how your parents height influence you（4）After reading this passage, we can explain _. A . what healthy diet isB . how good it is to be a doctorC . how much sleep time we needD . why genes cant decide everything（5）Which is NOT mentioned in the passage? A . Your height most probably depends on how tall your parents are.B . Girls age for starting puberty is usually earlier than that for boysC . You may be amazed sometimes when you grow too fast.D . The features showing the first changes of puberty between boys and girls are different.四、 任务型阅读。 (共1题；共30分)25. （30分）Answer the questions. There has been a lot of talk about Chinese bicycle sharing recently. Shared bikes are nowadays becoming the centre of attention in our We Chat friend circle. Many of our friends post photos of themselves riding bikes, especially during the weekend in natural parks, and we can see people logging in and out of shared bike apps. But are people really drawn to(被.所吸引) the idea of exercise and green transportation all of a sudden?Some people have tried Mobikes lately, and they dont particularly like Mobikes. They think the first generation Mobikes, the ones without baskets, are designed for athletes. They are very hard to ride, and the seat is not adjustable(可调节的). Then, they tried the yellow ofo bikes. They are easier to ride than Mobikes, but they dont usually have baskets, and you need to enter the password by hand, instead of scanning a QR code and having the lock open automatically like with Mobikes.We appreciate that there are shared bikes on the roads. They have saved us a lot of time during emergency situations. And on beautiful, clear days, we do enjoy riding them outside the city. But from what weve seen in our friend circles, people have been giving them endless praises, while we still saw some obvious flaws (缺陷).In our experience, there has never been a unanimous(一致的) decision on anything in public opinion. It makes us wonder whether these people really like riding shared bikes or are just saying this to agree with others. When we asked them individually, a friend of us, Lisa, secretly told us she tried the bikes to fit in(融人朋友圈). She doesnt like bikes and finds citys roads too harsh for bike riding. But the only way to hang out with her friends was riding out of town together. To join in social activities, she had to pick up bike riding again. Another young man, Simon admitted that he started talking about and forwarding information(转发信息) on shared bikes to appear cool and fashionable to friends. He started paying attention when Mobikes firs launched(推出). These views will give us something new to think about when we ride these bikes again.（1）Are shared bikes very popular in our cities nowadays? （2）You dont have to scan a QR code when using Mobikes, do you? （3）What do you need to do when you want to ride a ofo bike? （4）Why did Lisa sometimes ride a shared bike? （5）How did Simon show his coolness and fashion to his friends? （6）Why do many people like to ride shared bikes? 五、 选词填空。 (共1题；共5分)26. （5分）选词填空。without, either, part, asleep, cry（1）Im not a managerHe isnt a manager_（2）Jim was too tired and he was_soon （3）Listen!Who is_in the room? （4）We cant find the lost book the_students help （5）Its not easy to remember these important_of the book 六、 补全对话。 (共1题；共11分)27. （11分）根据要求完成下列句子。（1）Soldiers fought against their enemies in the First World War.(一般疑问句)_soldiers_against their enemies in the First World War?（2）I feel like going to Europe for a visit next summer vacation.（就换线部分提问）_ do you feel like_ next summer vacation？（3）I will understand the sentence after I look it up in the dictionary.(保持意思基本不变)I _ understand the sentence _ I look it up in the dictionary.(保持意思基本不变)（4）There is hardly any traffic in the early morning here.(反意疑问句)There is hardly any traffic in the early morning here，_ _?（5）Can you tell me?
