Instead of leaving behind money as a big inheritance(遗产)，people prefer to choose to create travel trust funds(基金) for their children. Ten kinds of travel trust funds have been set up since over 15 years ago.
More and more people thought that travel trust funds should be a part of their inheritances. Some people, who stored travel trust funds in the bank, did so to make sure their children could come back at any time. For example, at the time they studied or took courses in other countries. And there are also other trust funds to encourage travel with a charity(慈善) aim. For example, those funds would be given to volunteers who would work in Africa.
Now, let’s look at Mrs Liebman’s case. Her father worried that with two daughters living in Israel and one son in the US, the cost of plane tickets might prevent his children from visiting one another. At a family dinner in 2000 her father decided to create a travel fund which he would pay up to $800 every year. Four years later, he died and so far the money has been used by his kids for family parties. The amount was raised over the years to keep up with the rising cost of air travel. Most recently, Mrs Liebman, her husband and their three children flew from Israel to the US for a wedding and received a check to pay for their flights.
For Mrs Liebman, the money from her father has had a very positive influence. In the past dozen years, her brother’s and sister’s families have more chances to get together to enjoy their happy life.“There has been a new level of connection made. It’s really a good way to leave kids some kinds of travel trust funds when parents go away.”She said.
24. The second paragraph is written to tell us_________.
A. the different uses of travel trust funds B. the tradition of the inheritance in the US
C. the advantages of travel trust funds D. the form of Americans’ inheritance
25. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Mrs. Liebman comes from a rich and large family.
B. Money should be used to travel with families.
C. Mrs Liebman’s father supported the way of leaving money for his kids.
D. Mrs Liebman’s father expected there was a good relationship among his kids.
26. From the passage, we know Mrs Liebman__________.
A. left her children a lot of money to travel all over the world
B. worked in Africa as a volunteer before she got married
C. received money from the travel trust fund to visit her family members
D. went home every four years after her father died in 2,000
27. What might Mrs. Liebman probably do next?
A. Give away money for a charity aim. B. Build travel trust funds for her parents.
C. Create some travel trust funds for her kids. D. Make use of her free time to travel.

Thirteen-year-old Kaylee has a lot of friends—532, actually, if you count up her online friends. And she spends a lot of time with them.
But is it possible that Kaylee’s online friendships could be making her lonely? That’s what some experts believe. Connecting online is a great way to stay in touch, they say. However, some experts worry that many kids are so busy connecting online that they might be missing out on true friendships.
Could this be true? During your parents’ childhoods, connecting with friends usually meant spending time with them in the flesh. Kids played Scrabble around a table, not Words With Friends on their phones. When friends missed each other, they picked up the telephone. Friends might even write letters to each other.
Today, most communication takes place online. A typical teen sends 2,000 texts a month and spends more than 44 hours per week in front of a screen. Much of this time is spent on social media platforms(平台).
In fact, in many ways, online communication can make friendships stronger, “There’s definitely a positive influence. Kids can stay in constant contact, which means they can share more of their feelings with each other,” says Katie Davis, co-author of The App Generation.
Other experts, however, warn that too much online communication can get in the way of forming deep friendships. “If we are constantly checking in with our virtual words, we will have little time for our real-world friendships.” says Larry Rosen, a professor at California State University. Rosen also worries that today’s kids might mistake the “friends” on the social media for true friends in life. However, in tough times, you don’t need someone to like your picture or share your blogs. You need someone who will keep your secrets and hold your hand. You would like to talk face to face.
28．What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A．To summarize the text. B．To tell about true friends.
C．To bring up a discussion. D．To encourage online friendship.

29．What does the underlined part “in the flesh” mean in Paragraph 3?
A．In any case. B．In person.
C．In full measure. D．In advance.
30．What is Katie’s attitude towards online communication?
A．Worried. B．Unconcerned. C．Confused. D．Positive.
31．What view does Rosen hold?
A．It’s wise to turn to friends online.
B．It’s easier to develop friendships in reality.
C．Teenagers need focus on real-world friendships.
D．Social media help people stay closely connected.
D
China is determined to land its astronauts on the moon and set up a scientific station there,according to a project leader.
Zhou Yanfei,deputy chief designer of China's manned space program,said on Friday that China wishes to use the manned lunar missions to carry out scientific surveys and technology demonstrations,explore ways to develop lunar resources and strengthen the nation's space capabilities.
＂A new wave of lunar explorations has been emerging in the world,with participants aiming to make sustainable missions to deepen knowledge of the moon and exploit resources there,"he said in a report delivered at the 2020 China Space Conference in Fuzhou,Fujian province."Unlike other nations,China must depend on its own science and technology to realize our goals."
The country is independently able to land its astronauts on the moon because it has the technologies,a group of well-trained,innovative professionals and high-efficiency research and management systems,Zhou said."However,our existing carrier rockets can't perform landing missions to the moon because they are not powerful enough.The Shenzhou- series manned spaceships are not suitable for lunar expeditions.We don't have a lunar landing capsule,"he said."Our ground support system was designed for operations in low-Earth orbit rather than on the lunar surface.
To solve the problem, we set out to produce a powerful launch vehicle. Zhou said researchers thought about two approaches—making a new heavy-lift rocket,or adjusting the next-generation rocket designed to carry astronauts,which is under development.Researchers prefer the latter approach because it would be easier to design and make and would become operational earlier.
The new rocket is being designed at the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology.Its main body will be 87 meters tall,with a diameter of 5 meters,which would make it almost twice as tall as the Long March 5,currently the biggest of China's rockets.
32．Which is NOT the goal of the manned lunar mission?
A．To explore lunar resources. B．To perform scientific experiments.
C．To set up a scientific station. D．To strengthen the national space power.
33．What is the main idea of paragraph 4?
A．China is not able to pursue the manned lunar program.
B．There are still difficulties in pursuing the manned lunar program.
C．There are a series of steps in the Manned Lunar program.
D．It is manageable to carry out the Manned Lunar program.

34．What can we infer from the passage?
A．Nations must depend on themselves to explore the moon.
B．The Long March 5 is the biggest of China's rocket.
C．The newly-designed rocket will not carry astronauts.
D．Producing a powerful launch vehicle is the most difficult part in the program.
35．What do the figures in the last paragraph imply?
A．The new rocket is big enough to perform landing missions.
B．The new rocket is being made to launch lunar spaceship.
C．China's scientific power has improved.
D．The new rocket will be put into use soon.
