You might think this is impossible, but in rare cases, it has actually rained frogs! How could this happen? During a tornado or a powerful thunderstorm, water from a pond or lake can be sucked into the air. This includesanything that is in the water.The storm continues to move. As it travels, it releases the water into the sir. Does this mean that frogs and fish come raining down from the sky? Yes, this is exactly what happens!Cases of strange things falling down from the sky have been reported for many years. People have seen small frogs, fish, grasshoppers and snails drop from the sky in places like France, India and the United States. Are animals the only things that get swept up by storms? No. In fact, in 1995,it rained soda cans in the United States!26. Why is it possible to rain frogs from the sky?A. Frogs are swept up by the storm.B. God casts down a rain of frogs.C. Frogs go into the air when it rains.D. The sky is the living place for frogs.27. What are some unusual things that fall from the sky mentioned in this article?A. Frogs and snakes.B. Snails and soda cans.C. Fish and soda.D. Grasshoppers and trees.28. What can we infer from the passage?A. France is more likely to rain fish.B. It once rained soda cans in India.C.

He had some interesting ideas about planting trees. He hardly watered his new trees.Once I asked why and he told me that watering plants made them grow weaker. He said he had to make things difficult for the trees so that only the strongest could survive. He talked about how watering trees made them develop shallow roots and how, if they were not watered, trees would grow deep roots in search of water.So, instead of watering his trees every morning, he'd beat them with a rolled up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the trees' attention.Doctor Gibbs died a couple of years after I left home. Sometimes I walked by his house and looked at the trees I'd watched him plant 25 years ago. They were tall and strong.I planted several trees myself a few years ago. Two years of caring for these trees meant they grew up weakly. Every time a cold wind blew, my trees shook. Adversity seemed to be good for Doctor Gibb's trees，they could never relax.Every night before I go to bed，I check on my two sons. I often pray(祈祷)that their lives will be easy. But lately I've been thinking that it's time to change my prayer. I know my children are going to experience difficulties. There's always a cold wind blowing somewhere. What we need to do is to pray for deep roots，so when the rains fall and the winds blow，we won't be separated.29. What did Doctor Gibbs do to the trees he planted?A. He let them grow quickly.B. He beat them to get their attention.C. He helped them search for water.D. He read a newspaper near them.30. What does the word "Adversity" in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Difficult living conditions.B. Little water.C. Enough care or attention.D. Bad weather.31. What does the writer learn from Doctor Gibbs?A. Elders are treasures.B. No pain，no gain.C. Two heads are better than one.D. Only those who bear(容忍)the most become the highest.CLike many other countries around the world, China hopes to explore the moon. It has already done so with several probes(探测器) and lunar rover(月球车). But it has even bigger plans to put a man on the moon in the near future.Yang Liwei, China's first man in space, said that it will "not take long" for a manned mission(任务)to get offcial agreement and money support, according to the Xinhua News Agency.China's space programme is still young compared to those of the United States and Russia. But it has already made great achievements in exploring the moon. Its moon mission began with Chang'e 1, an unmanned orbital(轨道)probe that was sent up in October,2007. It collected data that was used to create a 3-D map of the moon's surface.China achieved another achievement with the Chang'e 3 mission. For this mission, China's first lunar rover, Yutu, successfully landed on the moon.For China's space programme, it was another great achievement that Chang'e 4, the second lunar rover successfully landed on the moon's far side, an area that has not yet been explored, in December, 2018.China will follow Chang'e 4 with a series of other lunar mission. These missions will include taking lunar soil and rock samples, building "moon base, and hopefully landing a human on the moon's surface around 2030, according to Zhao Xiaojin, a senior official at the China Academy of Space Technology.Last year, when Yang Liwei was asked if he had any plans to visit the moon himself, he replied, "If I am given the chance, no problem!" It is likely that many other Chinese share Yang's excitement about this new stage of China's space exploration efforts.32.
