3 . 阅读下面的短文，请根据短文后的要求答题。

Yang Xiaomeng lives 11 km away from her company in Beijing. The 26-year-old has been cycling to work for three months. “I used to take the subway before the COVID-19 outbreak. But now riding a bike seems to be a safer choice.”

Finding it relaxing and healthy, Yang said she would keep cycling in the future. In fact, many people have turned from public transportation to riding bikes these days. On Beijing’s bike-only lane (自行车专用道), from Huilongguan to Shangdi, the number of cyclists has increased by 17.6 percent due to the outbreak, Xinhua reported.

In fact, biking has been booming globally since the COVID-19 outbreak. In Spain, bike sales increased 22-fold (倍) in May compared with last year. In London, large parts of the city are being closed off to cars so that people can walk and cycle safely. Cities like Berlin and Montreal have also added new, wider bike lanes.

How will this change influence life in the city? The environmental advantages are clear. According to studies, cycling can clearly reduce the pollution of the environment. Since most gyms are still not open, cycling can also give people a chance to exercise and enjoy fresh air.

Increased biking can also bring economic benefits (经济效益) to the society. Compared with drivers, cyclists tend to spend more money in stores, bars and restaurants, according to Huff post. “When you make an area become attractive to people on foot or on a bike—when you slow down the pace (节奏) of life in that neighborhood just a little—suddenly visitors are staying longer and stopping in more stores,” Rachel Quednau wrote for Strong Towns.

1. How did Yang go to work before the COVID-19 outbreak? (no more than 5 words)
2. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 probably mean? (1 word)
3. Why are large parts of London being closed off to cars? (no more than 10 words)
4. What are the advantages of riding a bike? (no more than 10 words)
5. What’s your attitude towards cycling? Please explain. (no more than 20 words)

4 . China landed a spacecraft on Mars for the first time last Saturday. This makes China the first country to make a successful landing on Mars on its first mission to Mars. China's Zhurong rover （探测车），named after a traditional Chinese fire god, has touched down on the martian surface, the China National Space Administration confirmed on the morning of Saturday, May 15,

The rover is part of the Tian wen-1 mission, which consists of an orbiter, a probe, and a lander. The mission was launched in summer last year, and took seven months to complete its journey to the red planet. It arrived at Mars in February this year, and since then the spacecraft has been performing operations such as capturing images of Mars.

Believe it or not, traveling to Mars is actually the easy part of such a mission. The truly hard part is landing on the planet's surface, as landers must contend with factors like the planet's thin atmosphere, its variable dust storms, and a communication delay between Mars and Earth. This delay makes it impossible for people in mission control on Earth to control a craft in real time as it approaches the planet, so the landing must be performed autonomously.

To slow its speed as the lander approached the surface, it used both a parachute （降落伞）and a retrorocket (减速火箭）in its own "seven minutes of terror" as it moved through the atmosphere. It then landed in the Utopia Planitia area, a large impact basin, part of which was exploded by NASA's Viking 2 lander in the 1970s.

According to China's slate news agency Xinhua, President Xi Jinping said he was sending "warm congratulations and sincere greetings to all members who have participated in the Mars exploration mission.'

The rover will now begin its three- month mission to explore the Utopia Planitia area, where it will be searching for surface and subsurface ice. The mission will involve both the rover and the orbiter working in concert to create a map of water ice, with the orbiter focusing on the planet's polar regions.

1. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A．The Tianwen-1 mission includes four space missions.

B．Zhurong was known as a great astronomer in ancient China.

C．The spacecraft has carried out a series of experiments in advance.

D．China achieved success in landing on Mars creating a new record.

2. What should be carefully considered on landing on Mars?
a. Mars's atmosphere. b. Mars's bad weather
c. The landing instructions. d. The communication delay.

A．abc

B．bed

C．abd

D．abcd

3. What does the author imply in Paragraph 4?

A．The landing way is quite different.	B．The landing process is full of danger.
C．The landing site is unknown to NASA.	D．The landing time is calculate precisely.

4. Which of the following missions will be launched in three months?

A．The analysis of ice samples.

B．The mapping of the Mars's polar regions.

C．The exploration of the Utopia Planitia area.

D．The collection of surface and subsurface ice.

5. Which column does the passage come from?

A．Space

B．Fiction

C．Medical

D．Nature
