21、There have been big changes in the attitudes of most parents over the last few years. Physical punishment is banned in schools in most countries, and in many countries, there are moves to ban all physical punishment of children even at home. However, many parents still believe that they have the right to use physical punishment to deal with certain misbehavior at certain ages.
It's easy to find reasons to allow physical punishment. One issue is that many parents find it very difficult to give up physical punishment completely. Parents argue that this is the way they were brought up and that it didn't do any harm to them. They believe that they have the right to punish the child in any way they consider fit, including using physical punishment. The other one is that physical punishment can be quick and effective. There is not much point reasoning with a screaming child in the supermarket.
However, there are several reasons why we should stop using physical punishment. One point is that most parents are not trained to deal with misbehaving children. They don't have enough resources or choices to handle the situation. As a result, they immediately react by hitting the child even if there are other solutions to the problem. Another point is that unless people are challenged or forced to change their belief, they may keep following negative habits. An example is the use of seat belts-now most people wear seat belts without thinking, while years ago the idea of using seat belts was strange to most people. In the same way, banning physical punishment will force people to change their habits.
In conclusion, parents have to change some of their beliefs and ideas about how children should be raised. It is possible to avoid the use of physical force, and doing so will help us move closer to the dream of removing violence from our society.
【1】According to the first paragraph, many parents think ________ .
A．most of the children behave badly in their daily life
B．they have changed their attitudes towards their children
C．physical punishment is effective when educating their children
D．they are free to use physical punishment on their children
【2】The author gives the example of using seat belts in order to show________.
A．most people are used to wearing seat belts recently
B．people won't change their old habits unless they have to
C．seat belts are really very necessary and useful for drivers
D．it's not difficult to change some of the negative habits
【3】The author wrote this passage mainly to________.
A．talk about a ban on using physical punishment
B．tell readers that we should educate our children in other ways
C．advise parents to give up using physical punishment
D．suggest physical punishment should be used only at home
22、 Japanese officials say they are pleased with the quality of the asteroid (小行星) material collected by a spacecraft and returned to Earth.
Last week, officials from Japan described the samples (样品), which were collected from the Ryugu asteroid in July 2019. Ryugu sits more than 300 million kilometers from Earth. Japan's unpiloted Hayabusa2 spacecraft removed the material after making a hole into the asteroid.
The space agency said the July 2019 task aimed to collect samples from below the surface of Ryugu. During an earlier operation in February 2019, Hayabusa2 collected material from a different part of the asteroid. The second collection effort resulted in sample pieces as big as 1 centimeter. The black material looked similar to charcoal and was very hard. It did not break apart when picked up or poured into another container.
Earlier this month, space officials described the samples Hayabusa2 removed on its first mission as smaller, sandy pieces. They were collected from the surface of Ryugu. Hayabusa2 was launched in December 2014 and arrived near Ryugu in June 2018. The Japanese space mission aims to use the samples to learn more about how our solar system formed.
To get the second set of samples in July, Hayabusa2 used an impactor to knock the asteroid's surface. The aim was to collect material unaffected by space radiation or other environmental conditions. The size differences suggest different hardness of the bedrock of the asteroid. One possibility is that the place of the second touchdown was a hard bedrock and larger particles broke and entered the container.
Hayabusa2 is now on another mission to a smaller asteroid, called 1998KY26. The Japanese government expects the aircraft to take 11 years to reach that asteroid. Hayabusa2's new task aims to study possible ways to prevent large stones from hitting Earth.

23、 The ability to predict the future is a rare talent. American author Isaac Asimov, one of the greatest science-fiction writers of his age, had such a talent. Back in 1983, he was asked to predict how the world would look like in 2019. Now that we’re here, let’s see what he got right.
On the role that computing would play in the future, he was amazingly accurate. Asimov thought computers would cause a revolution comparable to the industrial revolution of the 19th century. Specifically, he said that “mobile computerized objects” would be an important part of everyday life. Here, he clearly foresaw our world of smartphones, tablets and other devices. He also had a great deal to say about space exploration. The International Space Station proves his prediction that we would not simply visit space but seek to stay there.
How did Asimov develop his special sense of future developments? As a precocious boy, Asimov taught himself to read at the age of five. He read the newspapers and magazines sold in his parents’ candy store. His scientific interests gained sharper focus at Columbia University in New York. Asimov went to study chemistry, but became bored with pure laboratory science. Instead, he thought hard about the social significance of science. He wanted to communicate his ideas to the public. As an author, his books would feature the theme of social change caused by technology.
Asimov had his finger on the pulse of both scientific and social change. He had a clear sight of what was coming around the corner for humanity in his works like the Galactic Empire series.
“His predictions are absolutely fascinating,” Calum Chase, an English writer, told BBC News. “He was a genius.”
【1】Which of the following has Asimov made a prediction about?
①computers②environment③tablets④space⑤pollution⑥smartphones
A.②⑤⑥ B.①③④
C.②③④ D.①⑤⑥
【2】What do we know about Asimov?
A.Asimov had great interest in pure lab science.
B.Asimov kept pace with scientific and social change.
C.Asimov cared less about the social significance of science.
D.Asimov would read in his neighbor’s candy store in his childhood.
【3】What does the underlined word “precocious” in the third paragraph probably mean?
A.Talented. B.Naughty.
C.Considerate. D.Optimistic.
【4】What will be the best title of the passage?
A.The Focus on Social Change
B.A Great Science-fiction Writer
C.The Ability to Predict the Future
D.The Man Who Could See the Future
24、Mounting a telescope on the balcony at home, Wang Zhipu, a 16-year-old boy from Fujian Province, observes the skies, takes photos and begins his voyage into space after class. Recently, his efforts were rewarded when he won the title of “Young Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2021” in the Royal Observatory Greenwich’s annual astrophotography contest. His winning entry, entitled Family Photo of the Solar System, shows seven of the eight planets lined up horizontally, with the sun on the left and moon on the right, both pictured larger in size than normal.
“All families are unconventional, so I adored this fresh, gently playful concept around the solar system,” said the competition judge Sue Prichard while talking about Wang’s picture. “A meaningful technically accomplished work from a rising star of astronomical photography.”
It hasn’t been easy taking pictures of outer space. For about half a year, Wang had to calculate the best time to shoot planets when they’re opposite the sun in Earth’s sky to get the brightest images. What’s more, he still needed to wait for clear weather to see better. For example, to capture a clear picture of Mercury, the planet closest to the sun, which is often cited as the most difficult of the five brightest planets to see with the naked eye, Wang tried to shoot it three times in the early morning but failed. At sunset, he shot 10, 000 frames of video and selected several thousand better frames to overlay, further refine them and form a more satisfactory picture.
Sometimes Wang would be so absorbed in his observations that he wouldn’t go downstairs to fetch a coat, even in the middle of winter. Other times, he stood for hours under the burning sun to get the perfect shot. To get an ideal shot, he often gets up at dawn, sleeps early to wake up at midnight, and even takes time off from evening classes when necessary.
【1】What kind of feeling does Sue Prichard show for Wang’s prizewinning picture?
A．Curiosity.
B．Indifference.
C．Appreciation.
D．Anxiety.
【2】What did Wang need to do in preparation for his photographing?
A．Figure out when the planets shine best.
B．Find out where clear weather can be seen.
C．Work out how far the planets are from the sun.
D．Make out when the planets face the earth most directly.
【3】What’s the last paragraph mainly about?
A．Wang’s passion for outer space.
B．Wang’s habits of observing stars.
C．Wang’s addiction to shooting skills.
D．Wang’s choices of shooting occasions.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．Stars Gathering, Teenager Is the Brightest
B．Medals Shining, Teenagers Gains the Gold
C．Eyes on the Stars, Teenager Wins Top Photo-prize
D．Dreams in Heart, Teenager Succeeds in Top Contest
