Animals were the real pioneers of space flight. Let us learn about some animals that
have been to space.
1. Fruit flies
On February 20, 1947, the United States sent some fruit flies into space to study the
impact that cosmic radiation (宇宙辐射) might potentially have on astronauts in the future.
They chose flies because they are genetically similar to humans.
When they returned to Earth, the scientists found the flies alive, with no evidence of the
effects of radiation.
2. Mice
Mice have long been used to find out more about how space travel will affect the human
body. In fact, NASA has recently published a study of mice housed at the International Space
Station. It shows that mice quickly adapt to microgravity (微重力) conditions.
The very first mouse went into space in 1950, reaching an altitude of 137km. However,
unlike the fruit flies, the mouse died when the rocket broke into parts due to a parachute (降
落伞) failure.

3. Dogs
Laika, a Russian homeless dog, went to space on November 3, 1957. She was picked up
on the streets and was thought suitable because she had a gentle temperament ( 性 情 ) and
behaved well. The scientists also believed a homeless dog would be better at dealing with
difficult conditions like microgravity than a pet dog.
Laika is famous for being the first animal to orbit (环绕……运行) the Earth. However,
she never returned.
4. Spiders
In 1973, two garden spiders called Anita and Arabella were used in an experiment to see
if they could still build webs in space.
Both spiders managed to build webs, even though the webs were slightly finer than on
Earth. The study showed a great deal about the effects of microgravity on motor response (运
动反应).
11. What can we learn about the mouse astronaut?
A. It failed to come back alive.
B. It couldn’t survive in microgravity conditions.
C. Its genes were similar to humans’.
D. It was the first animal to be sent to space.
12. Laika was chosen by the scientists for all the following reasons EXCEPT ______.
A. her good temperament B. her identity as a pet dog
C. her ability to deal with microgravity D. her good behavior
13. What’s the purpose of sending the two spiders to space?
A. To compare the quality of webs they made on Earth and in space.
B. To study the impact of cosmic radiation on their survival.
C. To see how fast they could build webs in space.
D. To see whether they could build webs in space.

As a child, there was nothing I liked better than Sunday afternoons at my grandfather’s
farm in western Pennsylvania. Surrounded by miles of stone walls, the house and field
provided endless hours of fun for a city kid like me.
Since my first visit to the farm, I had wanted more than anything to be allowed to climb
the stone walls surrounding the houses. My parents would never agree because the walls were
so old that some stones were loose and falling. However, my idea to climb across those walls
grew so strong that finally I had all my courage to enter the living room, where the adults had
gathered after Sunday dinner.
“I want to climb the stone walls.” I said. “Heavens, no! You’ll hurt yourself!” The
response was just as I’d expected. But before I left the room, I was stopped by my
grandfather’s loud voice. “Now hold on just a minute.” I heard him say, “Let the boy climb
the stone walls. He has to learn to do things for himself.”
“Go,” he said to me, “and come and see me when you get back.” For the next two and a
half hours I climbed those old walls — and had the time of my life. Later I met with my
grandfather to tell him about my adventures. I’ll never forget what he said. “Fred,” he said,
smiling, “you made this day a special day just by being yourself. Always remember, there’s
only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you exactly as you are.”
Many years have passed since then, and today I host the television program Mister
Rogers’ Neighborhood, seen by millions of children throughout America. There have been
changes over the years, but one thing remains the same: my message to children at the end of
almost every visit. “There’s only one person in this whole world like you,” the kids will hear
me say, “ and people can like you exactly as you are.”
14. Why did the writer enjoy his visits to the farm?
A. There were old stone houses.
B. He missed his grandfather a lot.
C. He could experience new fun there.
D. He was allowed to climb the walls.
15. What can be inferred about the writer from the passage?
A. He didn’t know the possible danger of the stone walls.
B. He didn’t expect his parents’ disagreement on wall climbing.
C. He became a TV program host with his grandfather’s help.
D. He was backed up by his grandfather to follow his heart.
16. Which of the following can best describe the author’s grandfather?
A. Adventurous. B. Open-minded.
C. Kind-hearted. D. Dependable.
17. Which is probably the best title for the text?
A. Unforgettable Childhood B. Do Whatever You Like
C. Just Be Yourself D. Like grandfather, like grandson

People will tell you the only way to really learn a language is to completely immerse (浸
入) yourself in a country where that language is spoken. Not all language learners, of course,
will have the opportunity to spend some time in an immersion environment. But if you can’t
actually fly across the world to learn a new language, you can always create an immersion
environment where you can talk to native speakers.
That’s where Babbel comes in. Babbel is one of the most popular language learning apps
on the market for studying new languages at your own pace. The app emphasizes ( 强 调 )
real-life conversational skills, so you won’t be stopped by grammatical structures and verb
patterns.
And right now, you can get 15% off a lifetime subscription (订阅) to Babbel Language
Learning ($150; www.stacksocial.com). A lifetime subscription is huge when it comes to
getting the most out of the app, since you’ll be able to return to lessons time and time again
and brush up on whichever section or topic you might need.
So how does it all work? First, you’ll choose one of the 14 languages. While Babbel
offers familiar languages like Spanish and Italian, it also offers less commonly studied ones
like Polish, Indonesian and more. Once you pick your language, you’ll choose a wide range
of real-life topics. Each course takes about 10 to 15 minutes, so you can pick one up on the
way to work, during your lunch break, or really at any point you have some time to kill.
Beyond this, Babbel includes a ton of additional features tailored to making sure you
learn the language in a real, practical and accurate way. The app uses speech recognition
technology to make sure your pronunciation is accurate compared with how native speakers
would say certain words.
18. What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us?
A. The terrifying experiences of travelling.
B. The importance of language learning environment.
C. Different ways to learn a new language.
D. Opportunities to communicate with native speakers.
19. What can we know about Babbel?
A. It’s a tool for learning languages.
B. It is designed in various types.
C. It focuses more on grammar structures.
D. It’s the most popular app in the market.
20. What should the users do first to learn with the app?
A. Choose the place to learn a course.
B. Pick the language they want to learn.
C. Calculate the reading time.
D. Choose a proper topic.
21. Why does Babbel use speech recognition technology?
A. To represent its additional features.
B. To meet the needs of native speakers.
C. To compare differences between words.
D. To make the pronunciation correct.

David Katz was unhappy about all the plastic (塑料) going into the ocean. To help solve
the problem, he had an unusual idea. Mr Katz calls his idea the “Plastic Bank”.
In poor countries, people are already working so hard just to get enough food to eat, to
find a place to live, and to keep themselves healthy. Spending time on recycling (回收再利用)
doesn’t make sense when you’re simply trying to survive.
The purpose of the Plastic Bank is to use plastic to help these people solve the problems
that worry them the most—food, shelter, and health. So Plastic Bank adds a value to plastic
waste by paying people to recycle it.
The program began in 2015 in Haiti, a poor island nation that doesn’t have strong
programs for recycling. Plastic is often simply thrown out and ends up in rivers and the
ocean.
The Plastic Bank has opened 30 “markets” in Haiti. At Plastic Bank markets, people can
trade the plastic they’ve collected for money or other things they need. The Plastic Bank
markets sell many things that local people need, such as cooking oil and heating oil. The
stores also allow plastic collectors to use the money they get to pay for health care or school.
For those who have cell phones, Plastic Bank can put the money they get into a special bank
account (账户) that they can control using an app. This keeps their money safe.
To make sure the plastic gets recycled, the Plastic Bank works with those who agree to
use the plastic that is collected. For example, the British company Marks & Spencer and the
German company Henkel are both paying more to use recycled plastic from the Plastic Bank
in their products. When customers buy these products, which are labeled ( 标 记 ) “Social
