• 2．Wang Yaping's dream of becoming an astronaut was inspired by Yang Liwei's 2003 space flight，which was China's first manned space mission.
     Born in a small village in Yantai，Shandong Province in 1980，Wang had been an enthusiastic long-distance runner since primary school，and competed in local sports meetings.
     In 1997，Wang，a high school student，was encouraged to register for the pilot recruitment program by her classmates because she was good at sports and didn't wear glasses.The 17-year-old had been considering applying to a teaching college，as her parents suggested.
     Given her strong build and ability to stay calm under pressure，Wang passed all tests as well as physical examinations and became a female pilot in China.After four years of systemic education and tough training，Wang eventually learned to fly four different types of aircraft before graduation.
     During her service as a military pilot，she accumulated 1，567 hours of flight time and was involved in major tasks such as the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake relief effort and the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.
      In May 2010，Wang became a member of China's first batch of female astronauts.The joy of being selected did not last long as the hard training quickly sank in.
     In the first year，Wang could not get the top level in the high-G training，during which she had to endure eight times the force of gravity in a spinning centrifuge.The training imitates the environment when the spacecraft takes off，enters orbit and returns.Wang improved her performance by doing extra core-strength exercises every day to strengthen her back and abdominal muscles.She got the top level at the end of 2011.Wang realized her space dream in 2013 as part of the Shenzhou-10 mission.
     Over the past two years，Wang has logged in over 6，000 hours of strict training.The most tiring exercise was the seven-hour underwater training session during which she had to wear a special suit that weighed over 100 kilograms to simulate extravehicular activities in a weightless environment.
     Wang has become the first female taikonaut to work in China's Tiangong space station as well as the first Chinese woman to perform a spacewalk.
  
  （1）Why did Wang want to become an astronaut？

  
  A．Because she was able to stay calm under pressure.
  B．Because she was good at sports and didn't wear glasses.
  C．Because she was influenced by China's first manned space flight.
  D．Because she was advised to register for the pilot program by her parents.
  （2）From this passage，we can know that

  .
  A．Wang won a long-distance runner championship
  B．Wang was the first Chinese female to take a spacewalk
  C．Wang went to a teaching college encouraged by her classmates
  D．Wang thought the seven-hour underwater training session was easy
  （3）What did Wang do after she joined China's first batch of female astronauts？

  
  A．She learned to fly four different types of aircraft.
  B．She participated in the Shenzhou-10 mission of China.
  C．She received four years of systemic education in university.
  D．She got involved in the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake relief effort.
  （4）Which of the following words can best describe Wang？

  
  A．Calm and friendly.
  B．Warm-hearted and creative.
  C．Modest and honest.

• 3．If having to make a choice between reading an e-book and a printed book，which would most people choose？Some would go for an e-book while some still prefer the hard-printed book.
     Undoubtedly，e-books do have benefits.Firstly，changes to an electronic publication are relatively easy to make.They are quicker to obtain.E-books are more easily updated.The printed books on many subjects can become outdated very quickly.Secondly，e-books can be easily and quickly kept up to date.You usually get far more than just the e-books.Most e-books are sold with bonuses and related information that usually do not come with the purchase of a printed book.Moreover，they take up less space.Instead of a big library，you can fit literally thousands of books on your computer.It also makes it easier to share this information with families and friends.
     For nearly twenty years，additionally，futurists have been predicting the development of printed books.The conventional view has been that digital e-books are on the verge of replacing paper books.However，this has not been the case.A printed book has its advantages too.Firstly，it is an object that can be carried and used alone.It needs no electric outlet（插座），no batteries，nothing.Secondly，e-books will always require some forms of support that the printed book does not need.
     I believe that the online publishing has not taken off because people want real books.What is being published online more and more are pamphlets（小冊子）and things that really do not need to be in print.These are stuff that people throw away afterward.More often，people do not want to read a book on the computer.What could be better than a paper book？It lasts a long time.These books are designed to last a long time without disappearing.
     To sum up，there is no denying that the printed book is still very much preferred over its digital cousins.Reading electronic publications is just not the same when it comes to books.People are still very interested in real books and notebooks.
  
  （1）What can we know about an e-book？

  
  A．It will never be out of date.
  B．It always gives you an added bonus.
  C．It can deliver information quickly.
  D．It has taken the place of printed books.
  （2）Which statement would futurists probably agree with？

  
  A．Printed books will disappear.
  B．Printed books can be used alone.
  C．E-books have many restrictions.
  D．E-books have no drawbacks.
  （3）What is one cause of the failed online publishing？

  
  A．The low demand for book industry.
  B．The expectations from people.
  C．The guidance of policy.
  D．The desire for the printed books.
  （4）What does the author think of the future of the printed book？

  
  A．Hopeless.
  B．Unpredictable.
  C．Costly.
  D．Promising.

• 4．Life can bring us down from time to time.At some point，you may find yourself in what you will consider as your darkest hour.As you try to find your way out of that bad situation，you should try to remind yourself that there is still a reason to be grateful.
     If you look at your situation now and compare it with someone else who is in much deeper trouble than you，I am sure that you'll find something to be thankful for.We all have our share of problems.But complaining about them so much only makes us blind about the fact that there are the miracles that happen around us every day.
     When all your needs are provided，then you should be content and happy.If you have a roof over your head，some decent（得體的） clothes to wear，enough food on the table，a comfortable place to sleep，clean water to drink and you are free to make your own choices，then you should be happy and grateful.Many people all around the world，especially those who are at war or those in very poor countries would give anything to be in your conditions.
     Even if you lose all your money or possessions and your heart is broken for some reason，as long as you are still alive，then everything material you have lost can be regained.If you have a few good friends who will be there to support or help you，then be glad because true friends are hard to find.As long as you have someone to love and someone to love you back，then you are a very fortunate person.Remember to be patient and trust that things will get better.
  
  （1）What's the author's advice for those people faced with difficulties？

  
  A．They should believe in miracles to happen.
  B．They should take a grateful attitude to life.
  C．They should have confidence in themselves.
  D．They should remind themselves to keep calm.
  （2）According to the author，complaints about our sufferings only result in

  .
  A．being teased by others
  B．taking everything for granted
  C．having doubts about self-value
  D．ignoring the good things in life
  （3）What can we infer from Paragraph 3？

  
  A．People should try to make a difference.
  B．People should be satisfied with what they have.
  C．People should work hard to gain what they want.
  D．People should practise kindness to those in need.
  （4）What does the author intend to tell us？

  
  A．It's not so easy to make a living.
  B．It's important to have faith in life.
  C．Show appreciation of what we have.
  D．Never compare ourselves with others.

• 5．Many students study by reading their notes and textbooks over and over again.But studies show there are more effective ways to help you study smarter.
     （1）

  Many students know what they are expected to do.Yet many often fail to plan ahead.So they need first to set a reachable target.Break it into pieces and make them happen one by one.It may seem strange at first.But after two weeks or more，it becomes a normal thing.
     Don't just reread. （2）

  Rereading is like looking at the answer to a puzzle，rather than doing it yourself.It looks like it makes sense.But until you try it yourself，you don't really know if you understand it.
     Find examples.Abstract concepts can be hard to understand.It tends to be far easier to form a mental image if you have a concrete example of something. （3）

  On its own，that concept might be hard to remember.But if you think about a lemon or vinegar，it becomes easier!
     Dig deeper.It's hard to remember countless facts and figures if you don't push further.Ask why things are a certain way.How did they come about？Why do they matter？Psychologists call this elaboration（深究）.It's taking class material and asking many how and why questions about it. （4）

  
  Practice more.Musicians practice their instruments.Athletes practice sports skills. （5）

  In a study，students took practice tests over several weeks.On the final test，they scored more than a full letter grade better，on average，than did students who studied the way they normally had.
     As a teen，Cynthia Nebel studied by reading her textbooks，worksheets and notebooks. "Over and over and over again，" recalls this psychologist at Vanderbilt University in Nashville，Tenn.Now，she adds， "we know that's one of the most common bad study skills that students have."
  
  A．Make a budget and save it.
  B．Make a plan and stick to it.
  C．The same should go for learning.
  D．However，not all can apply to students.
  E．In other words，don't just accept facts at face value.
  F．Sadly，reading books and notes repeatedly is common for many students.
  G．For instance，sour foods usually taste that way because they contain an acid.
