I was very tired and hungry after a long day of work.

My first thought was that he must need 18 with his homework. I asked, “What was that all about?”
“Nothing.” he said, “My teacher said we should 19 our parents we love them and see what they will say. It’s an experiment(试验).”
The next day I called his 20 to find out more about the “experiment” and how the other parents reacted(反应). “Most of the fathers have the same response as you did,” the teacher said, “When I first 21 that we try this, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have 22 trouble.”
Then the teacher explained, “I want my students to know that feeling loved is an important part of life. It’s 23 everyone needs. I’m trying to tell them it’s too bad that we don’t express those feelings more.” The teacher understands that sometimes it is 24 for some of us to say words that are good.
That evening when my son came to me, I took him in my arms, saying, “Hey, I love you, too.” I don’t know if saying that made either of us 25 , but it did feel pretty good.

Passage 2
A cactus(仙人掌) stood all alone in the desert. It said to itself, “I can’t offer shade(阴凉处) or juicy fruit to any passing travelers. I can’t see that I have any use for others. I wish I could do something useful.”
By day, birds circled high over its head.
“What can I do for you?” the cactus called. The birds flew away.
At night, the moon moved in the sky, looking at it coldly.
A lizard(蜥蜴) passed by, leaving a little trail(痕迹) in the sand with its tail.
“What can I do for you?” the cactus called.
“You?” the lizard laughed, “You can’t do anything! The birds circle overhead, leaving beautiful forms for us all to admire. The moon hangs high like a lantern at night, so we can see our way home. Even I have something to do. I decorate(装饰) the desert with these beautiful trails as I pull my tail along. But you can do nothing!”
As time went on, the cactus grew old, and it knew that its time was short. It cried out, “Forgive me! I have tried, but I failed to find something useful to do.”
But just then, a beautiful flower opened from the cactus’ head like a crown(皇冠).
The desert had never seen such a flower before. It brought happiness to all those who passed by. The birds stopped to admire its beauty, and that night even the moon smiled when it rose and found such a beautiful flower.

Passage 3
Tu Youyou, 85 years old, is the woman who uses a kind of plant’s special power to save many lives. She won a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in because of her great contribution. She shared the prize with two other scientists from the U.S. and Japan.
When Tu joined the national research team to find the medicine that could fight against malaria(疟疾) in the 1960s and 1970s, things were hard. The team didn’t have advanced instruments back then. Tu even tested medicines by eating them herself. Tu’s team searched old Chinese medicine books by hand and tested over 2,000 traditional recipes.
To do research, Tu also had to move around a lot. Once she returned home after traveling for six months, her little daughter didn’t recognize her and hid from the “strange woman”.
Finally, Tu found artemisinin(青蒿素) in sweet wormwood in 1971. She spent the following tens of years trying to improve the medicine. According to World Health Organization, about 200 million people suffer from malaria around the world, and about half a million die each year.
Artemisinin is still the most useful medicine against malaria known today.
Tu never complains about how hard she works. “I feel more rewarded(取得回报) when the medicine has saved so many malaria patients.” she said.

Passage 4
Albert Einstein is right once again! The great man thought of the idea about gravitational waves(引力波) 100 years ago, but scientists are finally discovering the truth of it now. But what are gravitational waves, and why are they important?
Well, gravitational waves are made by black holes and can change time in space. Black holes aren’t holes but a lot of matter packed into a very small area, according to NASA(美国航空航天局). They are created when a star, much like our sun, explodes(爆炸) and leaves behind this thick material. It doesn’t shine like a star anymore, and it becomes black.
Imagine you throw a stone into a pool. It creates ripples(涟漪) that change the pattern of the water. That’s similar to the way that gravitational waves form.
About 1.3 billion years ago, there were two black holes that kept moving closer and closer together. Finally, they knocked into each other and formed one big black hole. The energy given out created ripples in space. These ripples are gravitational waves.
Gravitational waves are hard to discover. A special gravitational wave observatory(天文台) called LIGO discovered the ripples on February 11, . Einstein was wise to know this 100 years ago before we had the technology.
This is important because it can give us a new view of the universe(宇宙) we live in, according to LIGO scientists. Now, we will be able to discover things that are much farther away from the earth in the universe. And who knows, this discovery could even lead to time travel!
41. Who is the first person who came up with the idea of gravitational waves?
A. NASA. B. Albert Einstein. C. LIGO. D. Scientists today.
42. What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Black holes. B. Gravitational waves.
C. Stars. D. Different materials.
43. What does Paragraph 4 talk about?
A. How black holes are formed. B. Why black holes are black.
C. How gravitational waves are created. D. Why gravitational waves are important.
44. Which of the following about gravitational waves is Not true?
A. They were made by black holes.
B. They were found 100 years ago.
C. They can change time in space.
D. Gravitational waves are difficult to find.
45. The discovery of gravitational waves can help people ______.
A. understand the pattern of water B. set up a special observatory
C. travel anywhere freely D. learn more about the universe
