阅读理解

    From the first use of the rocket to carry satellites into space to the setting up of space stations, human being have been putting great efforts into space research. And so far, we have achieved many successes. But there are still lots of tasks in front of us and we should not stop trying progress.

    The international space station is an important step we should take in space exploration. It is not only helpful but also necessary. It provides a proper space environment for many experiments that we have wanted to do for a long time. It is also a base for the observations of the earth and the universe. It could also be an important base for later travel to the moon and Mars. In a word, if we want to explore space more, the first thing we should do is to set up a space station.

    As the space station costs a lot of money, it is hard for one country alone to establish one. The USA seems to be the only country that has the ability to build a space station alone and it has tried to do so, but not very successful. So it aggregated many other countries to work on it together. Though it is still extremely expensive, it is much cheaper than doing it alone. It is really a job that needs everyone's effort and will benefit everyone.

    But even so, the funds needed are still a big problem. As for the USA, it seems it has too many things to spend its money on. Although it is the richest country in the world, it has much debt every year. It has to make arrangements about its finance, and try to find a balance in all these issues.

(1)、What is the author's attitude towards building and developing the international space station?
A、Supportive. B、Doubtful. C、Critical. D、Dissatisfied.
(2)、From Paragraph 2 we learn that         .
A、the necessity of building the international space station is not realized now B、many experiments have been done in the international space station C、the international space station is necessary for people to explore space more D、people have traveled to Mars from the international space station
(3)、Which of the following is NOT a reason for countries' cooperation in building the international space station?
A、That it requires a lot of money. B、That it needs everyone's effort. C、That it will benefit every participating country. D、That it is too far away from the earth.
(4)、The underlined word "aggregated" in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by "      ".
A、united B、scolded C、allowed D、forbade
(5)、Which of the following aspects(方面) about building the international space station is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A、Difficulties. B、Cooperation. C、Significance. D、Specific arrangements.

Have you ever heard of the company called Xiaomi in China? It was set up in 2010. They made smartphones and many other cool gadgets (电子装置) at the beginning. With the development of the times, Xiaomi decided to do something big and different. They created their very first electric car, called the SU7, and started selling it to people. The boss of Xiaomi, a man named Lei Jun, told everyone that the starting price of this new car would be 215,900 yuan (almost $30,000). It was a big event, and people were very excited. In just 27 minutes, more than 50,000 people ordered the new car.

Now, Xiaomi isn't the only company making electric cars. There are other big names like Tesla and BYD.Tesla is a car made in America, and it's known for being fast and modern. The price to start for a Tesla 3 is a bit higher, 245,900 yuan. But Xiaomi's car, the SU7, can go really, really far, at least 700 kilometers on one charge (充电)! That's more than the Tesla Model 3, which can only go 567 kilometers. At the same time, Xiaomi is thinking about how their customers use their phones and computers. They made the SU7's brain (operating system) work like the ones in Xiaomi's phones and laptops (手提电脑). This way, people can get everything connected and easy to use.

Xiaomi has big dreams for their electric car business, but no one knows yet whether they will succeed. Some analysts (分析师) think that Xiaomi's big idea will help make electric cars better and more exciting for everyone. So, what do you think? Will Xiaomi's SU7 develop faster than Tesla and become the king of electric cars? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure: the world of electric cars just got a lot more interesting.

Every year thousands of students leave school for a few weeks or months and enjoy an unusual type of educational program. What they learn during this time does not come from books. They learn new skills by living in a different country and doing unusual jobs. There are several programs that help students to gain (获得) the experience they are looking for.

Activities

India

Teaching young children

Saving elephants

* Caring for elephants

* Helping train elephants

One interesting program is saving elephants in Thailand. Most people think of elephants as animals in zoos or circuses. However, many elephants are no longer kept in captivity (囚禁). Now, hundreds of them are homeless. These gentle animals are often found on the streets because they do not have owners to care for them. Although they may look well, they are often in poor health and don't have enough food to eat.

One center in Thailand cares for these elephants. It provides a safe and natural living space for them. When they are at the center, they stay in a building but are free to walk around. Students come from all over the world to help there. The students work with the elephant keepers and help then a train elephants. These keepers teach the students how to care for the elephants. In the morning, they go to the forest together and lead the elephants to the center. They clean them and give them food. In the afternoon, they take the animals back into the forest for the night. Helping at the center is interesting and the young people learn a lot.
