It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain   1   almost a month. The crops were dying. If we   2   see some rain soon, we would lose everything.

I was making lunch in the kitchen when I saw my   3   son, Billy, walking towards the woods. He was walking with a great effort... trying to be as still as possible. Minutes later, he was once again walking towards the woods. I   4   stand it any longer. I went out of the house and followed him.

He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked, being very careful not to spill (溢出）the water he carried.

As I came closer, I saw   5   sight. Several large deer stood in front of him. Billy walked straight up to them. I almost screamed for him to get away. But the deer   6   hurt him nor even moved as Billy got down. And then I saw a baby deer   7   on the ground, thirsty, lift its head to lap up(舔) the water in my boy’s hands. When the water was gone, Billy jumped up to run back to the house. I followed him back to a tap. Billy opened it and let the drip slowly fill up his “cup”.

  8   he stood up and began to turn back, I was there in front of him. His little eyes   9   with tears. Very quickly, he explained   10   he was not wasting water. The week before, he had made   11   same trouble with our horses,   12   caused him a lecture from his father about the importance of not wasting water.

This time, I joined him, with a small pot of water from the kitchen. I let him   13   the baby deer alone , for it was    14   job. As the tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground, they   15   by other drops... more drops... and more. I looked up at the sky. All I can say is that the rain came that day saved our farm, just like the actions of one little boy saved the little deer.

【2019 •湖北省黄石】

Earlier this year, China achieved a new milestone（里程碑） in space exploration. On Jan 3, Chang'e 4 became the first space probe（探测器） in history to successfully land on the far side (dark side) of the moon. After a 26-day journey, it touched softly down on a crater. The whole process of landing lasted 12 minutes, which opened a new page in history of mankind's space exploration.

The far side of the moon is the side that we can not see. We don't know much about it. This landing is of great importance. The far side of the moon is an ideal  (理想的  )  place for scientific research.It may have unique minerals  (矿物质  )  and other resources. Scientists can make clearer observations of deep space from there.

Chang'e 4 has sent back photos of the far side of the moon. It is also being used to carry out experiments. The data (数据 ) collected from these experiments could be used to help us build a base on the moon in the future. The success of the Chang'e 4 mission (任务 )  is a major achievement for China's space program.

China launched its lunar (月球的 ) exploration program in 2004, naming it Chang'e. Chinese scientists set three goals—“orbiting (环绕运行 )  , landing and sample (样本 ) returning”. Chang'e 4 has realized the second goal. The third will be achieved during the Chang'e 5 mission, which is set to take place before the end of this year.

Following the success of the Chang'e missions, Chinese scientists are looking even farther into our solar system  (太阳系 )  . China's first Mars mission is expected to be carried out by 2020.

26．Chang'e 4 is the first space probe in the world to land       ．

A．in deep space                    B．on the moon

C．on the near side of the moon     D．on the far side of the moon

27．What's the most important about the landing place?

A．It's far from the earth.         B．It has many resources.

C．It's ideal for scientific research.  D．It's dark and unknown.

28．The underirned word “observations” in paragraph 2 means________.

A．学习         B．观察             C．描述             D．庆祝

29．Which of the following is the second goal of China’s lunar exploration grogram?

A．Landing on the moon.             B．Bring some samples back to the earth.

C．Building a base on the moon.     D．Travelling around the moon.

In the UK, there are many classes that students in China don’t have. One is called PSHCE, which stands for Personal, Social, Health and Civilization（文明）Education. 在这节课上，他们可以了解到世界上的不同文化。

The class mostly includes discussions and talking about our own experiences. The teachers prepare presentations and leaflets（散页印刷品）for the students. Sometimes students are asked to watch videos to see how people behave in some situations. Sometimes,teachers will teach about all kinds of topics.

Every student has to do presentations together with other members in a group. Everyone is in charge of a different part of a presentation.

How can you have a better presentation?

● Be prepared.

When possible, you should get to the location of your presentation the day before to make sure all the electronic aids work.

● Engage（吸引）the audience.

Whether you’ve got a one⁃on⁃one talk or a speech in front of 400 people, think“storytelling”.Stories are powerful. The way to a person’s head is through his or her heart.

● Pause（暂停）for a while.

If you’ve got something people should read, pause and let them read it. However, if you leave your pause too long, people will feel uncomfortable.

1. Please translate the underlined（划线的）sentence into English.

I’m my mother’s third girl. When I was born, the doctor gently explained to my mother that my left arm was missing, below the elbow ( 肘 ). Then she gave her some advice, “Don’t treat her any differently from others.” And she did.

There are five girls in my family, and we all had to help out. Once when I was about seven, I came out of the kitchen, “Mum, I can’t peel potatoes. I only have one hand.” “Get back to peel these potatoes, and don’t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”

Of course I could peel potatoes — with my good hand and my other arm. “Jenny, if you try hard,” she said, “you can do anything.”

Once in the second grade, our teacher had each of us race across the monkey bar ( 攀爬架 ).

When it was my turn, I said no. Some kids laughed. I went home crying.

The next afternoon Mum took me back to the school playground. “Now, pull up with your right arm.” She advised. She praised me when I made progress. I’ll never forget when I was crossing the bar, the kids were standing there with their mouths open.

It was the way with everything. Mum had the courage to face anything. And she taught me I could, too.

When watching the raising of the national flag, we should stand s________ with our backs.

When you feel a sneeze （喷嚏） or cough coming on, covering your mouth prevents the spread of germs （细菌） . You probably knew that.

But how to cover your mouth is very important. You might use tissues （纸巾） , and put your used tissues into the bin. “If you don't have tissues, you should sneeze into your elbow, not your hand, even if you are used to doing that.” The doctors advised.

“If somebody sneezes into his hands, those germs will be passed on to other people, or other objects that people touch.” said Dr. Hill.

Germs are most commonly spread by sneezing and coughing. When they land on your hands, they are passed from hands to things like bills, door knobs （扶手） , lift buttons and other surfaces. At the same time, the people around you can touch them.

“The suggestion was taken seriously about 10 years ago. However, most people didn't pay much attention to it. That means the adults may have missed the advice. But children are often taught in school the right way to cough or sneeze.” Dr. Benjamin said.

To be clear, people can't keep away from all the risks in this way, but it's the best choice. At the same time, we'd better wear masks （口罩） and often wash our hands. “Hand washing is one of the most important things people can do to keep healthy.” Dr. Hill said.

What is art ？ This question has confused great thinkers for centuries. In fact, there is disagreement about exactly what art is. Most of us would agree that Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa is art, but what about a video game? One dictionary states that art is making objects?Images or music, etc. that are beautiful or that express certain feelings.This, however, could be regarded as too general a definition （定义） . Marcel Ducharap With his bicycle wheel.

Art is usually divided into two areas: fine art, such as painting, music and sculpture （雕塑） and applied art （实用美术）， such as fashion design, furniture making and gardening. According to Aristotle, fee art is something which has a conceptual function. （概念功能） . He noted that artists produced objects, drama and music which showed their emotions and ideas rather than just trying to offer a true image of nature. Andy Warhol, the American artist famous for his Pop Art in the 1960s, once said, “An artist produces things that people don't need to have.This is the biggest difference between fine and applied art. Applied art requires an object to be functional as well as beautiful.

In the twentieth century _, however, artists began to challenge the accepted idea of art. The French artist Marcel Duchamp changed peopled understanding of what sculpture was by mounting a bicycle wheel upside down on a stool in 1913 and calling it art. In 2002, Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama created an art work that required the public's involvement. In this work, visitors were asked to cover a white room that had white furniture and objects in it, with many colorful sticker dots （圆形贴纸） .He once said, “Everything an artist produces is art”.

Today, we can see examples of art all around us which are not expensive, many towns and cities have public art which can be enjoyed by all. Some museums, like the National Art Museum of China in Beijing, have no entrance fee. Others are free for children and students.

Street art is also popular in different neighborhoods around the world.

Art can make our ordinary, everyday lives a little more special. This idea may not work for all art, but perhaps we can agree that it is a goal towards which all artists should work.
