Ⅰ. 完形填空
Anvitha, a student from a high school, has built two apps.She is trying to use her skills to help 1 .With the help of YouTube videos, the young creator from Melbourne, Australia, learned to make digital code(编码) at the age of twelve before she could make apps by herself.
“When I got my iPad, I was 2 by all the apps on it,”she said. “From then on, I decided to create my own.”
She worked out her first two apps.One is called Smartkins Animals.It helps children identify(辨别) more than 100 animals and their 3 .The other app is Smartkins Rainbow Colors.It teaches kids how to use colors.Each app has been downloaded thousands of times online.
Anvitha’s skills 4 her a good chance to attend a tech-conference(科技会议) in San Francisco, California.There, she got tips from the experts.She went to workshops where she learned about the 5 software for app making.All that training led to an idea for a third app.This one, called GoalsHi, helps kids form good habits.Users are rewarded for achieving goals.Anvitha says the rewards are like getting a sticker(标签) for a job well done.“Kids can 6 goals with this app and get stars when they achieve them,” she says. “The idea is to encourage kids to achieve one little step a day.”
Anvitha’s goal is to 7 creating technology that helps kids learn while having fun.But what’s even more important to her is that the world sees the power of technology in kids’ hands.“The more training we get in tech at an early 8 ,” she says,“the better chance we have to become creative champions who will one day change the world.”

Imagine you could remember everything that ever happened to you: the detail(细节) of every book you have ever read; and every moment in class you have ever taken. A perfect memory sounds like a wish come true, doesn’t it?
But as the old saying goes, “Be careful what you wish for.” Believe it or not, there are some people in the world who have near perfect memories of their experiences. They remember almost every detail about almost every day of their lives. People with this ability have a “highly superior autobiographical memory(超级自传体记忆)” or HSAM.
If you are asked this evening to describe the events of your day in as much as detail as possible, you will probably do pretty well. But if I ask you to provide details about what you did on March 3, 2012, do you know what day of the week it was? What did you eat for lunch? Was it cold that day? You would have no idea where to even begin.
A person with HSAM would be able to provide all those details for almost any day of his or her life. In addition to(除了) every great moment they remember, they also remember each time they were embarrassed(难堪的) or deeply sad. The negative(消极的) events replay in their minds in equal detail as the great moments. Sometimes, forgetting isn’t such a bad thing.
In fact, for most of us, forgetting is a natural part of how our brains function(运转). If we don’t need to remember something or try to make an effort to remember it, the information fades away(消逝) and is lost. But for those people with HSAM, the problem is that they are unable to forget. All of their experiences, even the most unimportant, remain clear to them all the time.
Research has shown that the brains of people with HSAM do not simply function differently than other brains; their brains are structurally different. By studying the brains of people with HSAM, scientists may be able to find ways of helping others have better memories—not perfect memories with an inability to forget, but better memories.
9.The writer mentions three questions in Paragraph 3 to show that . ( )
A.many people would like to share their life experiences with others
B.few people can describe the events of the present moments
C.some people find it difficult to tell others about their life
D.most people can’t remember lots of details in the past
10.People with HSAM . ( )
A.often feel sorry or deeply sad for others
5
B.want negative events to stay clear in their minds
C.remember both great and bad moments in detail
D.forget their unimportant experiences in daily life
11.The writer probably agrees that . ( )
A.practice makes memory perfect
B.forgetting is important and helpful
C.people should remember everything
D.scientists should help people with HSAM
12.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? ( )
A.The Importance of Memory
B.The Imperfect Gift of Memory
C.The New Research of Memory
D.The Advantages of People with HSAM
Ⅲ. 回答问题
Return to the moon
It might not be long until humans uncover the secrets of the far side of the moon. China’s Chang’e 4 robotic probe(探测器), which was set to become the first probe to land on the moon’s far side, was launched successfully on Dec. 8, 2018, Xinhua reported.
The moon rotates(自转) at the same speed that it orbits(绕……运行) Earth. Therefore, the same side of the moon always faces Earth. The far side of the moon is the side that we cannot see. We don’t know much about it so far.
However, the far side of the moon is an ideal(理想的) place for scientific research. It is exposed(暴露) to solar winds that may have formed unique minerals(矿物质) and other resources. And since the far side is less affected by Earth’s gravity, scientists can make clearer observations of deep space from there, according to China Daily.
But it is hard to land on the far side of the moon. Spacecraft that land there cannot receive any radio signals from Earth. To solve this problem, China launched a relay satellite(中继卫星) called Queqiao into space in May. Through Queqiao, scientists can control and operate Chang’e 4.
The probe’s travel time is also important. Chang’e 4 was expected to land on the moon on Jan.

2, 2019, China Daily reported. It would travel through space for more than 20 days before landing. This was longer than Chang’e 3, which was in space for about 12 days before landing.
The travel time was changed because scientists wanted Chang’e 4 to land on the moon when it was daytime. This way, the spacecraft’s solar panels(太阳能板) can receive energy from the sun and allow the probe to start working. A single day on the moon is about 28 days on Earth. Therefore, Chang’e 4 kept orbiting the moon before landing as it waited for daytime, according to Sun Zezhou, chief designer of Chang’e 4.
Did you know? Chang’e 4 took some plant seeds and eggs to the moon. It is hoped that Chang’e 4 will be able to do experiments with them. These will be the first biological experiments to take place on the moon.
13.Is Chang’e 4 the first probe to land on the far side of the moon?
14.What does the far side of the moon refer to?
15.What research may scientists do on the far side of the moon?
16.How did Chinese scientists solve the problem of no signals?
17.Why did scientists want Chang’e 4 to land in the daytime?
