Tom and Jerry

    Tom the cat and Jerry the mouse are two of the most popular cartoon characters in the world. In the short cartoons, Tom is always trying to catch Jerry, but he never has any success. Almost every cartoon ends with Tom in trouble and Jerry laughing at him. The stories are full of fun and have a long history.

    William Hanna and Joseph Barbera both worked for MGM in the late 1930s. Their boss told them to make funny cartoons. Together they thought of the idea of a cat and a mouse. They thought it would be funny if the mouse was clever and always got the cat into trouble.

    The first Tom and Jerry cartoon was shown in cinemas in 1940. It was a great success. Over the next 17 years, they made many Tom and Jerry cartoons. Most of them are around seven minutes long.

    In total, Hanna and Barbera made 114 Tom and Jerry cartoons. The cartoons were so good that they won a number of awards. The famous cat and mouse remain popular today, as the cartoons are still shown on television around the world.

A man in Shanwei in eastern Guangdong Province rented 12 trucks to protect his restaurant against typhoon Saola, which became a piece of hot news.

The restaurant is just over 100 {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(metre) away from the sea,but it did not experience any loss from Saola, according to Southern Metropolis Daily. "The tall, huge and strong trucks can protect the restaurant from the typhoon,"said the restaurant owner, Mr Lin. Lin even loaded mud(装载泥浆)onto the trucks to make {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(they) heavy enough to keep strong when the typhoon came. Typhoon Saola resulted in a rainstorm in Shanwei. 68{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(lucky),it did not do any harm to his restaurant.

These trucks cost Lin {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(much) than 20,000 yuan. Some people thought it was unnecessary to protect the restaurant by {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(spend) so much money on the trucks. However, Lin {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(believe) it was valuable. This was not {#blank#}7{#/blank#}first time for Lin to use trucks to protect his restaurant. Lin also saved his restaurant with 12 trucks during the earlier typhoon Doksuri {#blank#}8{#/blank#}August. He said he would do the same {#blank#}9{#/blank#}next typhoon comes.

After learning that Saola was gradually leaving, Lin decided to return the trucks {#blank#}10{#/blank#} reopen the restaurant.

 阅读下列短文,从下面每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

 For centuries, humans have made great efforts to study the Moon. Galileo, the Italian astronomer, noticed the mountains and lands on the Moon with a telescope(望远镜). In 1969, the US Apollo 11 project marked the first time that humans set foot on the satellite. Recently, China' s Chang'e 6 brought back the rocks and soil from the far side of the Moon for the first time in history. You may wonder: what is the value of exploring the Moon?

 Many scientists believe that the Moon was made of the rocks and dust from the baby Earth. When the solar system(系统) just formed. a Mars-sized object crashed into the Earth. The force of the crash was so great that it sent materials from the Earth, and from the object that hit it, back into the space. Some of the rocks and dust stuck together and created the Moon. 

 Those materials on the Moon's surface(表面) have stayed unchanged for over three billion(十亿) years, since it does not have an Earth-like atmosphere. This simple fact makes our Moon a time capsule, which allows scientists to uncover the Earth's past. 

 It is also about our future. In the last two decades, water was discovered on the Moon. It may help future humans look for drinkable water, breathable air, and rocket fuel outside the Earth. Besides, the Moon is a proper place to test technologies required for deep space exploration, including sending humans to Mars. 

 Considering the important role that moon exploration plays in scientific research and human future, scientists suggest that human activity on the Moon should avoid bringing harm to its environment.
