• 3．Since the dawn of human history，the moon has influenced myth，religion，and poetry.But as the moon'sbright presence is over us in the sky，we wonder of its creation and existence.Lunar exploration and research in the 20th and 21st centuries have expanded our knowledge of our natural satellite and nearest neighborthe moon.
     The moon is so close （some 240，000 miles away） that，with the help of telescopes，it is easy to seemany details on the near side of the moon that is always facing the earth.The moon is airless because its gravity is too weak to capture and retain atmosphere；therefore，there is no weather--and no life.It is also waterless.The moon's dark plains，once believed to be stretches of water and still known as maria （"seas"）are really vast flat basins，created by thick volcanic lava.The surface--despite the radiance（光輝）ofa full moon-is made up of dark grey rock that reflects only a tiny amount of the sunlight that hits it.
     Lunar exploration has stripped away some of the moon's mysteries.In 1959，the Soviet probe Luna 3 revealed the far side that is hidden from the earth's view.In 1969，Apollo II astronauts on the first manned flight to the moon brought back rock samples some 3，700 million years old --older than any rocks on earth.Samples from later missions indicate the moon may have been formed at about the same time as the rest of the solar system-4.6 billion years ago.
     Analysis of the moon rocks suggests an end of intensive meteor crash of the surface about 4 billion years ago and an end of volcanic eruption about a billion years ago.The moon appears cold and dead -- yet it still may be active.Observers report the flickering glow of what could be eruptions at the edges of the maria and in certain craters.
  
  （1）What is true about the moon according to the passage？

  
  A．There is no gravity on it.
  B．There is no fresh water but some seas on it.
  C．It's so close to the earth that all details about it can be seen.
  D．Its surface can only reflect part of the light that the sun cast on it.
  （2）What does the underlined phrase "stripped away" in paragraph 3 mean？

  
  A．uncovered
  B．stole
  C．spread
  D．explored
  （3）Why is the moon believed to be active？

  
  A．The moon reflects part of the sunlight.
  B．There are lots of active craters on the moon.
  C．Meteors cash the moon's surface constantly.
  D．There still could be volcanic eruption on the moon.
  （4）Which of the following is a suitable title for the text？

  
  A．A Cold but Active Planet.
  B．The Closest Natural Satellite.
  C．Unlock the Mysteries of the Moon.
  D．Make a Discovery of a New Planet.

• 4．Data shows that Chinese brands are winning increasingly more consumers in recent years，especially among the younger generation.The trend is usually called "guochao"，or"Chinese fashion trend"，which has driven demand for domestic brands and products that often include Chinese traditional culture and style.
     Its main followers are millennial born between 1980-1995 and Generation Z born between 19 2010.Unlike the older generations who could have attachment to Western culture and brands，Chinese youth were born and raised when the country's economy and wealth were taking off.The younger generation tends to havestrong and genuine confidence in their national identity and traditional culture.
     To woo young customers，these domestic names are making products with high quality and appeal by strengthening research and marketing efforts.An often-cited case is Li-Ning，China's homegrown sportswearbrand that is named after one of the nation's most famous athletes.The company almost broke up after a failed rebranding in 2011 when it went through three years of losses after losing older customers while failing to attract younger buyers.It was not until the 2018 New York Fashion Week that the brand made its huge comeback.Its trendy look，bold use of color and traditional Chinese culture elements were showcased on thestage so that it immediately grabbed attention at home and abroad.
     The trend to embrace domestic brands has spread rapidly to various sectors and products as well，from food and drinks to clothing and electronic vehicles.While many Chinese brands have been gaining significant market share at home in recent years，Others are posting an increasingly stronger global presence.In 2020，China's tech giant Xiaomi reported its most profitable year on the back of expanded sales and global market share.Revenues（零售）from Haier Smart Home's overseas business last year also marked an all-time high，ranking top list in global market share for major home appliance.Although some brands still face plentyof challenges ahead to meet the sophisticated needs of customers and regulations in overseas markets，most domestic products are still quite competitive in the international market.
  
  （1）What does "guochao" refer to？

  
  A．Domestic brands' increase.B.Chinese brands' growing popularity.

• 5．When you're giving a speech to an audience，there isn't a one-stop-shop approach that will address everyone. （1）

  The following advice may help adapt your speech for your audiences.
     Preparing your speech based on your audience size should be one of your first action-points.Larger audiences often have little participation，so ensure that your speech fills the given time.It's also much harder to get the attention of a larger group.（2）

  Remember to have eye contact with as many individualsaround the room to keep them engaged. （3）

  This means you'll need to prepare extra material if needed and allow for questions or comments throughout while still delivering your message in the given time.
     （4）

  Generally，there are four different ways in which people learn：visual，auditory，reading and writing and kina esthetic（動(dòng)覺 ）.Including elements of each learning style in your speech will hel to engage more of your audience.Slides and images for visual learners，using sound effects for auditory learners，providing copies of the slides which can be noted and interactive parts of the speech will all be helpful in connecting with different audiences.
     No matter how much you prepare and adapt your content for your audience，you may find yourself in the situation where you are losing their engagement during your speech.It's essential that you read and act on these signals，like lack of eye contact，yawning or your listeners being on their phone.Take the time to observe these reactions in the crowd and understand what interest or bore your audience.（5）

  
  

  A.That's why tone and body language is important. B.Different people have different likes and dislikes. C.But to draw a small audience's attention seems much easier. D.Smaller audiences often have more opportunities for interaction. E.Different audiences have different requirements when receiving information. F.Then adjust your approach to regain their attention while not going off your subject. G.Another factor to consider is that your audiences have different ways to take in information.
