We visited the moon in our spaceship! Before we left, Li Yanping explained to me that the force of gravity would change three times on our journey and that the first change would be the most powerful. Then we were off. As the ‎ rocket rose into the air, we were pushed back into our seats because we were trying to escape the pull of the earth’s gravity. It was so hard that we could not say anything to each other. Gradually the weight lessened and I was able to talk to him. "Why is the spaceship not falling back to the earth? On the earth if I fall from a tree I will fall to the ground." I asked. "We are too far from the earth now to feel its pull, " he explained, "so we feel as if there is no gravity at all. When we get closer to the moon, we shall feel its gravity pulling us, but it will not be as strong a pull as the earth's. " I cheered up immediately and floated weightlessly around in our spaceship cabin watching the earth become smaller and the moon larger. When we got there, I wanted to explore immediately. "Come on," I said. "If you are right, my mass will be less than on the earth because the moon is smaller and I will be able to move more freely. I might even grow taller if I stay here long enough. I shall certainly weigh less!" I laughed and climbed down the steps from the spaceship. But when I tried to step forward, I found I was carried twice as far as on the earth and fell over. "Oh dear," I cried, "walking does need a bit of practice now that gravity has changed." After a while I got the hang of it and we began to enjoy ourselves.‎ ‎21. From the passage, we can learn that _______.‎ A. walking on the moon was very easy B. the writer was too frightened to speak C. the writer became taller and fatter on the moon D. the pull of gravity on Earth is stronger than that on the moon ‎22. What is the best title of this passage?‎ ‎ A. A visit to the Moon B. The Pull of Gravity C. The Science of the Star D. A Bridge to Space ‎23. Where does this text probably come from?‎ A. Science fiction. B. A science report.‎ C. An advertisement. D. Children's Literature.‎ B Hundreds of years ago, news was carried from place to place by people on foot or by horse. It took days, weeks and sometimes months for people to receive news. Now it is possible to send words and pictures around the world in seconds. Billions of people learn about news stories of their ‎ own country and all over the world every day, either by watching TV or reading newspapers.‎ Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life since the 18th century. Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers. How do newspaper editors decide which news stories to print? Why do they print some stories and not others? What makes a good newspaper story?‎ Firstly, it is important to report news stories. TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers. Yet, newspapers give more about the same story. They may also look at the story in another way, or they may print completely different stories to those on TV.‎ Secondly, a news story has to be interesting and unusual. People don’t want to read stories about everyday life. As a result, many stories are about some kind of danger and seem to be "bad" news. For example, newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely; instead they print stories about plane accidents.‎ Another factor(因素) is also very important in many news stories. Many people are interested in news in foreign countries, but more prefer to read stories about people, places and events in their own country. So the stories on the front page in Chinese newspapers are usually very different from the ones in British, French and American newspapers.‎ ‎24.

The difference between newspaper stories and TV news reports is that _______.‎ A. people can learn more about the same news story from a newspaper B. people can read the news story more quickly in a newspaper C. people can read news stories in other countries D. people can read news stories about their own country ‎26. According to the passage, which of the following can you most possibly read in newspapers? ‎ A. You often play football with your friends after school.‎ B. A tiger in the city zoo has run out and hasn’t been caught.‎ C. Your teacher has got a cold.‎ D. The bike in front of your house is lost.‎ ‎27. Which of the following is Not true in this passage? ‎ A. People like to read interesting and unusual news.‎ B. News stories on the front page of every country are always the same.‎ C. Not only TV but also newspapers can help people to learn what is happening around the world.‎ D. Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life for more than three hundred years. ‎ C City College Union Inc Secretary/Typist The Union is a student-run organization with a permanent staff of 20.

However, a group of senior Chinese ladies dancing in New York’s Sunset Park were recently faced with noise complaints from nearby residents. The local court even served a summons (传票) related to a certain Ms. Wang.‎ The news soon caused heated discussion across China, with many believing the incident to involve a cultural conflict between the East and West, while others view it as a form of discrimination(歧视) against Chinese in the United States. The United States is a diverse society, and in many cases, Chinese dancers are tolerated and even appreciated. Meanwhile, the United States is a society based on the rule of law, and due to cultural differences, local regulations seem to be very different from those in China. As a result, some old Chinese ladies dancing in New York’s Sunset Park found themselves caught in an embarrassing situation. Locals and immigrants from other nations view such noise as a violation of their right to enjoy tranquility. Calling the police is regarded as the most efficient way to solve such ‎ a problem.‎ Before, these ladies probably did not understand local customs and rules. However, since the incident took place, they should perhaps know a little better next time and keep the noise to a minimum. People from different nations are often supposed to reach compromises, respecting and tolerating each other.‎ Whatever your choice of entertainment is, it is important not to affect other people’s lives. Square dancing is only one of many activities during which people should mind their behavior. As for U.S. police practice, there might still be some room for improvement. Some were said to be rather rude, leading to the so-called “racial discrimination,” which is a sensitive topic in U.S. society. If the involved parties could be more tolerant and solve such problems without involving the court, perhaps immigrants would mix more.‎ ‎32. The writer mentions the incident in Paragraph 1 to __________.‎ A. show his opinion B. introduce the topic ‎ C. make complaints D. criticize the local police ‎33. The underlined word “tranquility” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by ________.‎ A. quietness B. entertainment C. freedom D. quality ‎34. What will the senior Chinese ladies most probably do after the incident?‎ A. Go back to China. B. Fight for their right. ‎ C. Ask America to change its law. D. Keep the noise lower.‎ ‎35. What’s the writer’s attitude towards senior Chinese ladies dancing in New York’s Sunset Park?‎ A. He considers it a shame for senior Chinese ladies to do so.‎ B. He strongly supports the action of the local police.‎ C. He thinks all parties involved should be more tolerant.‎ D. He suggests such kind of problem should be solved in the court.‎ 第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ How to Survive High School High school can be a terrible phase if you get it all wrong.
