Soon, Zheng Leping will use his hand-made toothpaste(牙膏). The student at Beijing Bayi School cannot hide his great joy. “In the past, we never wondered how toothpaste was made. But through a research program, we not only learned so much about toothpaste, but we made our own!” Zheng said.

The school started a research program for ninth- graders about toothpaste. A great number of students took part in it. They searched for ways to make toothpaste. So far they have produced the most important part-calcium carbonate(碳酸钙). Soon they will add some other things, like honeysuckles(金银花) and preservatives（防腐剂）.

In the program, students do research and tests by themselves. Teachers work as tutors to give a hand. “we have to research and think some problems ourselves,” Zheng said.

初三年级 英语学科 第 3页 共8页

When asked to find the best way to produce calcium carbonate, Fang Yixin and her teammates did research online and discussed the problem for a long time. “Many chemical reactions(化学反应) can produce it. However, some will produce dangerous chemicals at the same time, which are hard to separate,” Fang said. Finally, they found a reaction that was easy to make and wouldn't produce dangerous chemicals.

This program helps students better understand Chemistry better. Fang once had difficulty in remembering complicated chemical equations（方程式）. But now it is a piece of cake. “I remember them easily after doing experiments. Chemistry is no longer that hard to understand.” Fang said.

The program ended, but the habit of exploration continues. When Zheng buys toothpaste in the supermarket, he begins to study its component(成分) list. “I relate it to what I have learned.” he said.

34. From Zheng Leping’s words in Paragraph 1, we can know that he is ________about the research program.

A. angry B. excited C. upset D. worried 35. The underlined word “complicated” probably means “________”. A. difficult B. simple C. boring D. important 36. Which of the following is NOT true about the research program? A. students have to solve the problems by themselves B. Many students took part in the research program

C. Teachers do the research and tests, and students watch and learn

D. students can do researches online and have discussions with their teammates. 37. From the passage we can know ________. A. doing research can help us learn B. the way to make toothpaste

C. the importance of working together D. the importance of learning Chemistry

C

Astronauts, people who fly into space, need special training. First they go to Houston, Texas. That is the home of the Johnson Space Centre. There they are tested to see how strong and smart they are.

One of the first tests is for the heart. The people walk or run, then the space doctors see how fast their hearts are beating.

Another important test is performance. In this test, the person must curl（蜷曲）his body up in a ball. When he is in that position, he is put into a round cloth bag. The doctors give him no idea how long he will have to stay in the bag. If a spaceship broke down in space, the astronauts would get into bags like this. Then they would have to wait and curl up in darkness until help could arrive. You can see that an astronaut must not be afraid of tight space or darkness.

After the tests, only the best people are chosen to start astronaut training in a training centre. The astronauts in the training centre learn many other things. They learn how to jump out of a moving airplane. They learn to how to blow up a lifeboat and get into it while they are in the ocean. The astronauts also have to learn how to get lifted out of the ocean by helicopter（直升机）. That may look fun, but it can be dangerous.

After they finish training, the astronauts continue to work. They stay in good shape by running and doing exercise. They read about their special jobs. In that way they can learn new facts about space travel.

Then the big day comes. The astronauts are told to go to work on a flight into space. The crew members（全体船员）get to know each other first. Then they can learn what job they each will do.

C. good astronauts mustn’t be afraid of darkness or tight space

D. nobody knows when help will come if the spaceship breaks down 39.The astronauts don’t learn how to ________in the training centre. A. walk or run in space B. jump out of the moving plane

B. The crew members get to know each other after the tests. C. An astronaut must not be afraid of tight space or darkness.

The Tokyo Olympic Games will start on July 23, 2021 because of the ongoing COVID-19.The Olympics will still be called Tokyo 2020.

Japan, the host country of the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, has promised to hold “the most innovative (创新的) Games ever organized.” On July 24, 2019, the Olympic Committee (奥委 会) expressed its first bright idea — medals (奖牌) were made from old phones and other electronics.

The idea was first introduced in 2016 by a group of young Japanese students. They wanted to raise awareness (意识) of the serious electronic waste produced by the country’s tech-loving people who change their electronics very often. Japanese people threw away 650,000 tons of electronics every year, only about 100,000 tons of which are recycled.

To help the environment and raise the awareness, the Olympic Committee started the “Everyone’s Medal” program in February 2017. The program encouraged people to drop off used electronics at specific location bins set up by Japan’s Environmental Sanitation Center. It seems to be hard to gather the 8 tons of materials needed to make the 5,000 Olympic and Paralympic medals. However, they had nothing to worry about. By the time the collection ended in March 2019, around 79,000 tons of used cellphones and other small electronics had been collected. In total, the program got 32 kilos of gold, 3,500 kilos of silver, and 2,200 kilos of bronze 一 more than enough to make every medal.

The Olympic Committee hopes the Tokyo 2020 medals will help raise awareness of the alarming increase in electronic waste — not just in Japan but worldwide — and cause people to rethink whether they need to change their electronics unnecessarily. As Kohei Uchimura, who got three Olympic gold medals, said: “Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic medals will be

初三年级 英语学科 第 5页 共8页

made out of people’s thoughts for avoiding waste. I think there is an important message in this for the future.”

Though Japan is the first Olympic host country to make all the medals using metals from used electronics, it is not the first to think of the idea. Brazil made about 30% of the silver and bronze medals for the 2016 Summer Olympics from recycled materials.

42. The Tokyo Olympic Games will ________. A. start on July 23,2020 B. be called Tokyo 2021 C. be put off till next year D. not take place any more

43. It’s suggested by the Olympic Committee that used electronics should be dropped into ____. A. harmful waste bins B. recyclable waste bins C. kitchen waste bins D. specific location bins 44. According to the passage, we can infer that ________ . A. all Japanese people have no awareness of electronic waste B. the “Everyone’s Medal” program has not finished yet C. the electronic waste is increasing around the world D. Japan is the first country to think of the idea 45. This passage is mainly about ________.

A. Japan is the host country of the 2020 Summer Olympics

B. Japan will make medals from used electronics to help the environment C. the Olympic Committee started the “Everyone's Medal” program

D. Brazil made medals for the 2016 Summer Olympics from recycled materials

Since the novel coronavirus broke out, many families have been told to stay safe inside their homes. This may have been nice at first, but now you are probably in boredom. Here we’ve got some suggestions for you to beat it.

One important thing, of course, is to keep exercising. While it can be tempting (诱人的) to sit down all day, make sure you get up to get your blood flowing. Stretching (拉伸), sit-ups or push-ups are all easy exercises to do at home. You’d better keep up a daily exercise routine. You can even find live-streaming workout (锻炼）classes on the Internet. Remember that you aren’t alone in exercising.

Now is also the perfect time for you to learn new skills. Coding (编程), drawing, playing

new instruments – the options are endless. You can browse (浏览)thousands of videos online to learn anything. Once you master these skills by watching videos without paying for them, you needn’t spend money taking extra classes .

If you don’t trust food delivery during this time, you can try cooking your own food. Don’t ignore (忽视) the happiness of making food for your family alone – it’s a great time to practice preparing a meal for your parents. You can try your hand at folding the perfect dumplings, preparing a variety of meat and vegetables for homemade hot pot, or making use of your oven and baking yourself a pizza or some cookies.

Though the virus outbreak is a serious matter, it’s important to maintain（保持）a sense of humor and stay positive. Some young Internet users even make up something interesting about the special time online. For example, the lack of surgical masks has also produced some interesting innovations (创新) with ways to cover your mouth and nose: fruit, plastic containers and bags have all been used as mask replacements (替代物). Some young people even airbrush (修图) masks on WeChat avatars (头像). Seeing pictures of these unique masks is sure to make you laugh and in a good mood.

It’s true that staying at home will breed (导致) boredom sometimes, but it’s also an opportunity to try new things. You now have more time to do what you were too busy to get started before. What are you waiting for? Get to it !
