22、Crew members of China’s Shenzhou XIII mission are scheduled to give a live lecture on Thursday afternoon from the orbiting Tiangong space station to students around the world, the China Manned Space Agency said on Monday.
The three taikonauts—Major General Zhai Zhigang, Senior Colonel Wang Yaping and Senior Colonel Ye Guangfu will show viewers how they live and work inside the space station and will then carry out experiments to display interesting physical phenomena in space such as “disappearing buoyancy” and a “water ball”. They will also answer viewers’ questions at the end of the livestreamed event, the agency said.
The activity is intended to spread knowledge about manned spaceflights and ignite enthusiasm for science among young people. The taikonauts “sincerely invite young viewers to conduct similar experiments along with them to observe the physical disparities between space and land environments to experience the fun of exploration”, the agency said.
The agency said last week that the, lecture “will mark the launch of the Tiangong Class , China’s first extraterrestrial lecture series to popularize space science”. It added that such lectures will be based on the country’s manned spaceflights and will be presented by taikonauts. Featuring interactive teaching, the activities will be mainly targeted at youngsters as the students on the ground were able to communicate with the three taikonauts in real time during the class.
The Shenzhou XIII mission was launched on Oct 16 by a Long March 2F carrier rocket that blasted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwestern China’s Gobi Desert, with the crew soon entering the Tiangong station. They are scheduled to spend six months working in the station, making it China’s longest manned space mission.
The agency said that as a national space-based laboratory, Tiangong is also tasked with promoting and propagating science and technology knowledge. The orbiting outpost has abundant, unique educational resources and boasts advantages when it comes to encouraging the public, especially young people to embrace science and space exploration, it said.

24、 You might call them “Internet friends” since I haven’t met most of them, but for me they’re real friends whether we talk online or in person. I name-drop them in conversations with other friends, we have in-jokes, and we share advice or a listening ear when we need to. They are no different to the friends I have made at home.
The problem with my “Internet friendships” comes when I have to explain them to “real friends”. “But how can they be your friends if you’ve never met them?” “What do you really have to talk about?” The list is endless. Even family members think I am a freak (不正常的人) for believing that anyone on the Internet can be a) real b) a true friend c) free of serial killer (连环杀手) tendencies. I’ve met so many people through Twitter which has led to me meeting them in “real life” as well. When I go to London, it’s full of people that I love. At the end of last year after a visit to the city, I spoke to one of my “Internet friends” and said that seeing her had reminded me how much I missed her. Her reply was as follows:
“I forget that my Internet friends are just as real and important to me as the friends I grew up with (if not more important sometimes!)”.
Over the past year, as I often wasn’t well enough to even leave the house, my “Internet friends” became extremely important and without them I would have struggled to keep my head above water. My “physical friends” were great, truly, but my “Internet friends” became more important in some respects possibly because of our shared love of travel. Many of us share the same dream of being able to live the life of a traveler for as long as we can and they also know what it takes to do that-things my friends didn’t know. When I struggled to see what I needed to do before visiting a place, they were there with advice.
【1】What does the author think of “Internet friends”?
A.They can’t be true friends. B.They are dangerous sometimes.
C.They are the same as “real friends”. D.They are more reliable than “real friends”.
【2】How does the author’s opinion about “Internet friends” sound to his family?
A.It is strange. B.It is popular.
C.It is objective. D.It is beneficial.
【3】When were the author’s “Internet friends” particularly important?
A.When he was lonely. B.When he was very busy.
C.When he needed suggestions. D.When he couldn’t go outside.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When the last customer left KFC, it was already 10:30 pm. Adam, an 18-year-old college student, dragged himself home. He had been working at KFC for over a month that summer vacation.
Entering his room, Adam found his younger brother Bill sitting on the edge of his bed with an uneasy expression on his face.
“Sorry, Adam. I … I did something wrong,” Bill sprang up and said nervously.
“What is it?”
“This afternoon I sneaked (溜) out for a ride on your motorcycle and accidentally hit our neighbor Osman Brook’s car. I was so scared and I … I hurried home in panic.”
“Is the car seriously damaged?”
“The left headlight got broken.”
“It’s truly your fault and it’s really dangerous to ride a motorcycle at your age. Besides, it’s illegal,” Adam raised his voice, obviously annoyed. Hearing this, Bill lowered his head and bit his lips hard.
“Anyway, it’s no use crying over spilt milk. I will deal with it tomorrow. Now you go to bed and have a good sleep.”
The next morning when Adam got up, Bill was still sleeping soundly. Adam was more determined about what he ought to do as an elder brother.
After breakfast, Adam took out all the money he had earned and went out of the house with it. In the yard he saw his motorcycle, on whose side the scratches (划痕) were clearly visible. Adam shook his head and sighed slightly. Then he squared his shoulders and quickened his pace to Osman’s house.
When he arrived, he was welcomed by Osman’s wife Mary, who told him that Osman had gone to the garage to have his car repaired.
“I have something important to tell him. Can I wait until he comes back?” Adam requested eagerly.
“Of course. He should be home soon,” Mary invited Adam in, served him a cup of coffee and began chatting with him.
After half an hour, the door opened and in came Osman. Having said hello to each other, Osman and Adam both sat down on the sofa.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
