A
A few hours after my first mission, returning to Earth on the space shuttle Endeavour, I completed all of my medical tests after flight, met with NASA officials, and reunited with my family. Finally, I was alone in any office room in astronaut crew quarters at the Kennedy Space Center, exhausted and ready for bed. And 1 did what anyone does when they return to their hotel room on a business trip: I turned on the TV. The television news started up: Such and such had happened, people were shocked, blah blah blah. Sports scores. Silly commercials.
It didn't take more than a minute before I had to turn it off. It felt like my body was rejecting all this input, just as it would reject an organ donation that had the wrong blood type. All of this noise was just completely foreign to who I was-or, more appropriately, who I had become. A few hours before, I had been orbiting Earth, seeing our planet from space, flying the most amazing machine ever built by human hands, working with a team that was the absolute success of human. And now here in my room watching what was being sold as news, and with my newfound perspective, I just could not stomach it. My worldview was changed forever in a profound(深刻的)way.
The biggest change by far and the one for which I will always be most grateful is this big-picture perspective. That will stick with me for the rest of my life.
Whenever I feel the pressure of modern life, the stress about work, or worry about the future, I remember my

time in the space station. Back to seeing the sun set. Or watching our galaxy rise on the horizon. Or seeing a sea of lightning flash a hundred times a second. Or simply back to floating weightlessly.
When I'm there in my mind and realize how many billions of these beautiful sunsets there have been and will be in the future, the cares of the world just don't seem that pressing. It goes that, \for tomorrow will worry about itself. \on the planet is so much better with this attitude!
21. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word stomach in paragraph 2? A. Access. B. Attend. C. Accept. D. Afford. 22. What is the most important change to the writer? A. He has a broader view of the world. B. He doesn't like watching TV any more. C. He will always be most grateful for everything. D. He can fly the most amazing machine by hands. 23. What attitude to life does the writer tend to have? A. A caged bird longs for clouds. C. Let bygones be bygones. B. Live in the present moment. D. Time works great changes.
B
On a bright summer morning，many young swimmers gather at a local swimming pool in the
state of Maryland. They are members of a competitive summer swim team. As they practice their strokes and cut seconds off of their times, they are getting lots of physical exercise and vitamin D from the sun. However, the benefits of belonging to a sports team are not just health-related. Team sports also help to build many life skills.
The coach of the swim team is Paul Waas. He explains how swim team teaches the team members skills like discipline(纪律)and focus. \think the discipline comes into play when you're talking about focusing on the details that your coaches are saying as it makes you faster rather than just going up and down the pool the same way you have every time. So, when you can focus on what you're doing right and what you can do better. . then you'll see the improvement. I think they see that from their peers and then it challenges them to do better themselves. \
But discipline and focus are just two of the life skills that team sports can teach. There is also responsibility, goal-setting and working within a group.

Again, here is Coach Waas. \had kids who, as 7-year-olds on the team, could barely pay attention in practice and were only interested in who was going first. And now they've come back as S-year-olds and they've set some goals. And now they have things that they want to achieve. They see the record board and they want their name up there. \
These life skills can help a child later in life. An article published in the magazine Fast Company notes reasons why a company should consider employing former athletes. The writers argue that people who played sports in school are: focused on goals, strong communicators, team players, good at managing their time, and resilient-meaning they do not give up when things get difficult.
Some studies have found that team sports could be especially good for women. A series of studies by the company Ernst & Young found that 90 percent of women in so-called \officer, or CEO and chief financial officer, or CFO) at several major companies had played sports. 24. What can we infer from paragraph 1?
A. Bright summer mornings are perfect for swimming. B. Swimming can be beneficial to us more than in health. C. Being admitted to a swimming team can be competitive. D. Being on a sports team benefits children in many aspects. 25. Which of the following will Paul Waas agree with? A. Stress from peers makes kids discouraged. B. Kids may get inspired by peers' improvements. C. Kids can make improvements once they join a team. D. 7-year-old kids in the swimming team can learn nothing. 26. The author wrote the passage to . A. analyze an upsetting social problem B. advocate taking up various team sports C. appeal to readers to care for sports safety D. share with readers his personal experiences

Garbage sorting has become a hot issue around China, especially after Shanghai began carrying out a regulation on July 1.
Beijing, as a forerunner in environmental protection, has thus been expected to follow suit. The capital of the country has long been campaigning for sorting and recycling household waste, as part of its environmental drive

for sustainable growth, local media reported.
The current regulation gives garbage sorting responsibilities to government departments, property management groups and other organizations. It also gives rules for companies, outlining how they're responsible for waste collection, transportation and treatment. Only individuals are not subject to responsibilities.
The long-awaited revision will soon change the situation, \will be illegal,\
Management. In Shanghai, violators are now fined up to 200 yuan ($30) for trash-sorting violations. The maximum fine in Beijing will not be less than that, he said.
The Beijing city government first set out to promote garbage sorting in 2009. Authorities have since called on citizens to sort their household waste into four types-recyclable waste, kitchen trash, dangerous waste and others-and leave it in a corresponding dustbin or trash can. Blue-colored dustbins signify items within are recyclable, green represents kitchen trash, red corresponds to dangerous materials and grey to other waste.
To promote the awareness of garbage sorting and expand the base of participants, authorities have employed workers to help residents on the spot. With intelligent devices, those who throw in recyclable waste at given sites will be rewarded with bonus points, which can be used to buy daily goods. At some communities, there are no color-coded dustbins. Instead, a scheduled garbage collection service is offered to help improve the environment. In other communities, workers offer a door-to-door service to collect recyclables or kitchen waste.
Beijing Environmental Sanitation Engineering Group has been promoting new garbage sorting facilities such as recycling cabinets and smart kitchen waste trash cans since 2016, Xinhua News Agency reported. Nearly 26,000 metric tons of household waste is generated across Beijing on a daily basis and 29 terminal garbage disposal facilities are working at full capacity. Nearly 9.3 million tons of household waste was processed in the city last year.
27. According to the passage, which dustbins should some used coke cans be thrown into? A. Grey-colored dustbins. B. Red-colored dustbins. C. Green-colored dustbins. D. Blue-colored dustbins. 28. We can learn from the passage that . A. new technology has been applied to help deal with garbage
B. Beijing carried out a more severe rule on garbage sorting than Shanghai C. the change of the current regulation has aroused objection among citizens D. the amount of household waste in Beijing is far from something disturbing 29. What is the best title for the text?
