Planned missions to the moon need to hurry up to avoid hitting one of the busiest periods for extreme space weather, according to scientists conducting the most in-depth ever research on solar storm timing.
Scientists at theUniversityofReadingstudied 150 years of space weather data to look into patterns in the timing of the most extreme events,which can be extremely dangerous to astronauts and satellites. This new research on space weather timing allows predictions to be made for extreme space weather. Therefore, it could be used to plan the timing of activities, which could be affected by extreme space weather, for example, major space missions.
The researchers found for the first time that extreme space weather events are more likely to occur early in or late solar cycles-such as the one just starting. The findings may have influences on the NASA-led Artemis mission. It plans to make humans return to the moon in 2024, but can be put off to the late 2020s.
Professor Mathew Owens, a space physicist at theUniversityofReading, said, “Until now, the most extreme space weather events were thought to berandomin their timing. Though there is no set pattern of the events, this research suggests they are more predictable.”
In the new study, the scientists used a new method applying statistical modelling to storm timing for the first time. Previous research generally focused on how big extreme space weather events can be, based on observations of previous events. Predicting their timing is far more difficult because extreme events are rare, so there is ly little historic data to identify patterns. The findings suggest that any major planned space missions , which is beyond the next five years, will have to consider the higher probability of extreme space weather late in the present solar cycle between 2026 and 2030.
4. What can we learn about the study from the first two paragraphs? A. It has lasted just 150 years.
B. It doesn't refer to space weather data.
C. It shows space weather has no effect on astronauts. D. It makes it possible to predict extreme space weather. 5. Why might the NASA-led Artemis mission be put off?
A. To research solar cycles. B. To avoid effects of space weather.
C. To meet the needs of the astronauts. D. To make humans return to Earth in 2024.
6. What does the underlined word “random“ in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Irregular. B. Easy. C. Limited. D. Changeless. 7. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The study is useful for future space missions. B. The planned space missions should be put off. C. Extreme space weather will happen before 2026. D. Previous observations make no difference to the study.
C
I started out in life with few advantages. I didn't graduate from high school. I worked at menial (不体面的) jobs. I had limited education, limited skills and a limited future.
And then I began asking, \"Why are some people more successful than others?\" This question changed my life. Over the years, I have read thousands of books and articles on the subjects of success and achievement(成就). It seems that the reasons have been discussed and written about for more than two thousand years, in every possible way. One quality that most philosophers, teachers and experts agree on is the importance of self-discipline (自律). As Al Tomsik summarized it years ago, \"Success is tons of discipline.\"
Some years ago, I attended a conference in Washington. It was the lunch break and I was eating at a nearby food fair. The area was crowded and I sat down at the last open table by myself, even though it was a table for four. A few minutes later, an older gentleman and a younger woman who was his assistant came along carrying trays of food, obviously looking for a place to sit. With plenty of room at my table, I immediately invited the older gentleman to join me. He was hesitant (犹豫), but I insisted. Finally, thanking me as he sat down, we began to chat over lunch.
It turned out that his name was Kop Kopmeyer. As it happened, I immediately knew who he was. He was a legend in the field of success and achievement. Kop Kopmeyer had written four large books, each of which contained 250 success principles that he had obtained from more than fifty years of research and study. I had read all four books from cover to cover, more than once.
After we had chatted for a while, I asked him the question that many people in this situation would ask, \"Of all the one thousand success principles that you have discovered, which do you think is the most important?”
He smiled at me, as if he had been asked this question many times, and replied, without hesitating, \"The most important success principle of all was stated by Thomas Huxley many years ago. He said, 'Do what you
should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not.'\"
He went on to say, \"There are 999 other success principles that I have found in my reading and experience, but without self-discipline, none of them work.\" 8. Why did the writer ask the question in Paragraph 2 ? A. Because he wasn't satisfied with himself. B. Because he was a person of self-discipline. C. Because he dislike those successful people. D. Because he wanted to share his idea on success.
9. What made the writer invite the older gentleman to join him ? A. His great kindness. B. The gentleman's fame. C. His eagerness for success. D. The gentleman's habit. 10. What are the four large books about ?
A. Personal changes B. The secret of success C. Sayings of wisdom D. The gentleman's manners. 11. What's the best title for the text ?
A. The Magic of Reading B. An Unexpected Conversation C. A Question that Changed MyLife D. The Power of Self-discipline
D
A male tiger was rescued in Mishan city, Northeast China's Heilongjiang province, on Friday. A tiger was recently seen on the Siner Russian border(边界),but there is no evidence to suggest this is the same tiger or that it had lost its way from Russia.
Wherever it may have come from, cross-border protection of endangered species is a problem. According to Ma Jianzhang, a senior wild animal researcher in China, tigers know no borders, which have been built to stop humans from illegally crossing over. However, these borders also stop the free movement of tigers, thus preventing their breeding(繁殖)and exchange of genes.
The Sino-Russian border alsocomes in the way ofprotecting tigers in the region. Data show about 500 to 550 Siberian tigers, or over 90 percent of the species, live in the wild in Russia; 27 live in the wild in China, and 50 inthe border region. Sometimes tigers lose their way across the border and that is hindering(妨碍)efforts to stop illegal hunting and protecting them.
Fortunately, both China and Russia have realized this problem and are working toward solving it. As early as
2010, the two countries established a cross-border protection network aimed at strengthening communication on protecting tigers in the northeast. The countries have also held anti-poaching(反偷猎)activities together. In 2019, two national parks from the two countries signed a three-year deal to share research data on tigers, greatly improving the living conditions of Siberian tigers in the wild.
However, much more needs to be done to protect the species. It is necessary to combine the tiger protection areas in the two countries. That will require greater efforts from both sides and some difficulties might remain even then. Fortunately, both countries have been taking effective measures to provide the endangered species a better home.
12. What's the original purpose of setting up the Sino-Russian borders? A. To ban people from illegal crossings. B. To help protect tigers in the region. C. To protect tigers from losing their way. D. To stop tigers' breeding and exchange of genes.
13. What does the underlined phrase “comes in the way of” probably mean?
A. keeps from. B. is on the way to C. is aimed at D. keeps up 14. What is the focus of Paragraph 4 ? A. Recent studies and researches on tigers. B. Joint efforts by China and Russia to protect tigers. C. The possible effects of establishing a network D. Reasons for improving the living conditions of tigers. 15. What's the author's purpose in writing the text? A. To inform the possible dangers of tiger protection. B. To cover the news about a missing tiger on the border. C. To put forward suggestions on finding the missing tiger.
D. To report the problems and measures of cross-border tiger protection. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)

Since the eight grade I've been stuck between two different career: art and science. On the one hand, I adored art, which will always be a part of me. I want to make mine own living by running a cartoon magazine, in which I'd be a drawer and writer too. On other hand, I am totally for love with biology! I find it interesting how math seems to make so many sense and I like chemistry as well as. Up to now, I have not decided what to doing in the future. One of my friends suggests that I be a surgeon which is good at drawing cartoon. It sounds like a good idea.

52.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写成两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
There was once a man who went out to look for a job. As he was passing his neighbor’s house, an important piece of paper fell out of the man’s pocket.
His neighbor happened to be looking out of the window. He saw the piece of paper fall, and he thought: “What a disgrace! That guy let that fall out of his pocket on purpose. He’s trying to mess up the front of my house!” But instead of going out and communicating with him, the neighbor planned his revenge(报复). That night, he took his waste-paper basket and went to the man’s house. The first man also happened to be looking out of the window, and saw what happened. Later, when he was picking up the paper which had been dumped near his door, he found the important piece of paper that he had lost. It was torn into dozens of pieces. He thought that his neighbor had not only picked his pocket, but had the cheek to(厚着脸皮)mess up his doorway with rubbish.
He didn’t want to say anything. Instead, he started planning his revenge. That night he phoned a farmer to make an order of ten pigs and a hundred ducks. He asked that they be delivered to his neighbor’s house.
Of course, the next day, his neighbor had quite a bit of trouble trying to get rid of so many animals and their noises. Sure that this had been an evil trick pulled by his neighbor, the second man again started planning his revenge immediately he got rid of the pigs and ducks.
And so it went on.
They continued trying to get back at each other, and each time their acts of revenge got bigger and more stupid. The dropping of that single piece of paper ended up causing a fire siren(警报), the driving of a truck into a garden fence, the throwing of stones at windows, and finally the dropping of a bomb which destroyed both men’s houses.
