No human has set foot on the moon since 1972. Now, after more than four decades of inactivity, interest in putting humans back on the Moon is finally heating up again. But who will get there first?
CHINA
On 14 December 2013，China successfully landed its Jade Rabbit rover(探测车) on the moon.
It is now working on its next exploration mission. Named Chang’e 4，the mission is scheduled to touch down in the Aitken Basin near the end of 2018. If successful, it will be the first landing on the Moon’s far side. RUSSIA
Russia plans a manned Moon landing in 2030. It is currently working on a project whose idea is that the landers will explore the south pole of the moon，exploring for resources such as minerals and water ice to be used to provide for a human outpost(前哨站). INDIA
Following the success of its Chandrayaan-1 in 2008, India announced a follow-on mission. Chandrayaan-2 was meant to cooperate with Russia. But when the Russians failed to deliver the promised lander in 2013, India decided to go it alone. Chandrayaan-2 is about to be sent up in 2018. USA
In December 2018, NASA plans to send up the Exploration Mission 1, an uncrewed test of their Orion astronaut capsule in which the craft will circle around the Moon before returning to Earth. All being well, a crewed capsule will follow in 2023. Should the mission prove a success, the astronauts will be the first humans to see the far side of the Moon with their own eyes since Apollo 17 in 1972.

Known as “The Man with the Golden Arm,” nearly every week for the past 60 years, James Harrison has donated
1 / 11
blood plasma(血浆) from his right arm. The reasons can date back to a serious medical procedure.
“When I was 14, I had a chest operation,” recalls Harrison, who is now aged 78. “My father said I had received 13 units of blood and my life had been saved by unknown people. So I said when I’m old enough, I’ll become a blood donor.”
Soon after Harrison became a donor, doctors called him in. His blood, they said, could be the answer to a deadly problem.
“In Australia, up until about 1967, there were about thousands of babies dying each year because of the rhesus disease(恒河猴症).” explains Jemma Falkenmire, of the Australian Red Cross Blood Service.
Harrison was discovered to have an unusual antibody(抗体) in his blood and in the 1960s he worked with doctors to use the antibodies to develop an injection(注射剂) called Anti-D which can prevent this disease.
Harrison’s blood is precious. Every batch of Anti-D that has ever been made in Australia has come from Harrison’s blood. He and Anti-D are credited with saving the lives of more than 2 million babies, according to the Australian Red Cross blood service: That’s 2 million lives saved by one man’s blood.
Harrison is considered a national hero, and has won numerous awards. He has now donated his plasma more than 1,000 times, but no matter how many times he’s given blood there’s one thing that will never change: “I look at the ceiling or the nurses, maybe talk to them a bit, but never once have I watched the needle go in my arm. I can’t stand the sight of blood, and I can’t stand pain.” he says.
25. What was the main reason for Harrison’s becoming a blood donor？ A. He has a golden arm. B. He has precious blood plasma. C. His father encouraged him to help others. D. Donated blood once made him survive. 26. Why is James’ blood more precious? A. James has the Anti-D in his blood.
B. His blood is more useful in treating the rhesus disease. C. James’ blood is the main source of Anti-D in Australia. D. James has donated more plasma than other donators. 27. How does Harrison feel when donating his plasma? A. Nervous. B. Relaxed. C. Anxious D. Excited.
C
In this day and age, it may seem like getting two people with different views together to discuss them is a recipe for disaster. Just think about what would happen if you sat down and had an open and honest conversation with someone with completely opposing views. Could it bring
2 / 11
you closer together?
However, the Human Library Organization is counting on it.
At a Human Library, people volunteer to become “books” and make their experiences open and available. “Readers” are encouraged to ask them questions freely, and they’ll get honest answers in return. There’s no judgment, and no questions are off-limits.
You won’t find unpleasant comments, and you won’t lose faith in humanity. At the Human Library, you actually feel better about the world you live in. You might even make a new friend!
The human “books” consist of people who have been discriminated by society.” said Ronni Abergel, the Human Library Organization’s founder, who has set out to build a space for conversations that can challenge prejudices through dialogue. “The most pleasantly surprising thing about it is how close all the human books become to one another,” she said.
Human Libraries help to remind us there really is more that unites us than divides us. And as events now spread throughout 82 countries, with Human Libraries even set to launch soon in Pakistan and Jordan, you can tell that is a shared feeling.
“We can spend billions and billions on trying to build up homeland security and our safety, but real safety comes from having positive relations to other groups in your community,” said Abergel. “Real safety is not going to come from building walls. It’s going to come from reaching out and getting to know each other.”
28. What does the first paragraph imply?
A. Heated discussions are often carried out among people. B. Open dialogue can’t always lead to close relation. C. People with opposing views are not honest enough. D. We tend to have open dialogues with people around us. 29. What will readers get at a Human Library? A. A fair judgment. B. Unpleasant comments. C. An available experience. D. Regaining confidence.
30.Which of the following can replace the underlined “launch” in Para. 6 in meaning? A. Accelerate. B. Substitute. C. Succeed. D. Start. 31. What did Abergel advise people to do to get real safety? A. Strengthen bonds between people. B. Join other groups in the community. C. Pull down walls between communities. D. Spend less money on homeland security.

“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”
-----Albert Einstein If you have a kid with special needs in the school system, chances are you have come across that saying hanging on a classroom wall. My five-year-old daughter Syona has cerebral palsy(脑瘫) and it means, combined with her communication
3 / 11
challenges and sight problems, that standard assessments (and by “standard”, I mean the ones used to assess kids with special needs ) aren’t always an accurate measure of her abilities.
By now you have probably heard about Chris Ulmer, the 26-year-old teacher in Jacksonville, Florida ,who starts his special education class by calling up each student individually to give them much admiration and a high-five. I couldn’t help but be reminded of Syona’s teacher and how she supports each kid in a very similar way. Ulmer recently shared a video of his teaching experience. “I have seen their confidence and self-worth increase rapidly,” he said . All I could think was: How lucky these students are to have such inspirational teachers.
Syona’s teacher has an attitude that can best be summarized in one word: awesome. Her teacher doesn’t focus on what can’t be done—she focuses on what can be done. Over the past several months, my husband Dilip and I have seen Syona’s confidence increase tenfold. She uses words she wouldn’t have thought of using before. She recently told me about her classmate’s trip to Ecuador and was very proud when I understood her on the first try.
I actually wonder what the influence would be if we did something similar to what Ulmer does with his students in our home. We’ve recently started our day by reminding each other of the good qualities we all possess. If we are reminded of our strengths on a regular basis, we will become increasingly confident about progress and success.
Ulmer’s reach as a teacher goes far beyond the walls of his classroom. In fact, he teaches all of us to take a moment and truly appreciate the strengths of an important person in our lives.
32. What does the underlined “it” in Line 5 refer to?
A. The cerebral palsy with Syona. B. The saying on a classroom wall.
C. The standard for kids with special needs. D. The accurate measure of Syona’s abilities. 33. What can we learn about Chris Ulmer? A. He is Syona’s favorite teacher. B. He helps increase his students’ confidence. C. He uses videos to teach his students. D. He asks his students to help each other. 34. Why did Syona feel very pleased in the third paragraph? A. She has developed a positive attitude.
B. Her mother knew what she expressed. C. Her progress was appreciated by her parents. D. She had been to Ecuador with her classmate.
35. What change has taken place in the author’s family？ A. They invite Ulmer’s students to their home. B. They visit Umer’s classroom regularly.
C. They feel grateful to people in their lives. D. They give each other praise every day.
