Taking a flight in China can be a boring experience. This is because Chinese airlines didnt allow smartphones to be powered on during flights. However, the launch of a new Chinese satellite Shijian 13 has changed the situation. Now, many Chinese airlines allow passengers to use their smartphones freely, that is, we can finally catch up on our favorite books and songs while at 30000 feet in the air.The communication satellite Shijian 13 can transmit (输送) 20 gigabytes (GB千兆) of data per second and cover most parts of Chinas land. This makes it the most powerful communication satellite China has ever developed. In fact, Shijian 13 has a higher message capacity (容量) than the total capacity of all Chinas communication satellites launched.The powerful satellite has greatly improved the Internet, including that on fast-moving transportation vehicles such as planes and high-speed trains.With shijian 13, people are able to get a download speed of up to 150 MBps on their smartphones. According to Zhou Zhicheng, head of the communications satellite department of the China Academy of Space Technology, the speed means it takes less than one minute to download a 1-GB movie. Watching online TV on planes and high-speed trains has come true.But the satellites benefits are far greater than that. China is trying to have 22 communication satellites in the sky by 2025. Shijian 13 will be able to cover wider areas, including mountains, oceans and deserts. When people have emergencies while hiking or sailing, the satellite can help them report and ask for help. It will also help people in natural disasters.（1） What does the first paragraph tell us? A . Shijian 13 has already enabled us to use smartphones while flying.B . China Airlines allow passengers aboard to use their smartphones.C . Shijian 13 is a kind of rocket which can carry us to a faraway place.D . Shijian 13 can make us catch up with latest books and pop songs.（2） What does the underlined word that in paragraph 3 refer to? A . Shijian 13B . The InternetC . A high-speed trainD . The powerful satellite（3） Which sentence tells Shijian 13 is the most powerful communication satellite? A . With it we can download a 1-GB movie within a second.B . With it we can ask for help when we meet typhoons in sea.C . With it we can do anything we like on high-speed trains.D . With it we can prevent natural disasters from happening.（4） What does the story mainly talk about? A . Why Chinas satellite technologies are so advanced.B . What the experience has been like on high-speed trains.C . How China develops the new communication satellite.D . What changes Shijian 13 brings to China sooner or later.4. （10分） Mr Smith is a teacher of EnglishHe comes from AmericaHe teaches English in ChinaHe speaks Chinese quite wellHe reads a lot of books and his wife often writes books for the students at homeMr Smith gets up at five in the morningHe leaves home at ten to sixHe begins the first lesson at 8：00He teaches English every day except Saturday and SundayAt ten to twelve he finishes his lessonsTen minutes later he has lunchIn the afternoon，he often plays games with his studentsSometimes he teaches his students in his officeSupper time is at about sixAfter that，he reads newspapers and watches TVAt about ten to eleven he goes to bed（1） Mr Smith is A . a ChineseB . an EnglishmansC . a workerD . an American（2） He leaves home atA . 6：10B . 5：50C . 7：10D . 6：50（3） He doesnt have any English classes onA .

An “empty” drinking glass and an “empty” room, in fact, are not really empty. Each is filled with air. When the glass is filled with water, the water pushes the air out of the glass.Air, as a gas, has no definite shape, but because it is matter, it takes up space and it has weight. It is easy to prove that air is something that takes up space. Stuff a piece of dry cloth（布）into the bottom of a glass so that it will not fall out when the glass is turned upside down. Push the upside down glass, holding straight up and down, into a jar of water till the glass is completely covered. When the glass is taken out of the water, the cloth is still dry. The air inside the glass shows that it takes up space and keeps the water from coming in.（1） Since air is matter, it has _.A . room , and weight as wellB . both room and shapeC . either room or weightD . neither shape nor weight（2） The word “Stuff” means _ in Chinese.A . 撕B . 盖C . 取掉D . 塞（3） The writer tells that the experiment（实验）_.A . is carried out in the spaceB . must be done in the labC . is made in the roomD . can only be done in the open air三、 选词填空 (共1题；共5分)6. （5分） 用方框中所给短语的适当形式填空at the same time depend on stay in touch with fill out prefer to（1） We have_many forms of this kind these years（2） Though we havent seen each other for a long time，we still_each other often（3） I study French in Paris and_I make money by working for a restaurant（4） Betty _singing_dancing（5） The old man_his youngest son四、 单词拼写 (共1题；共1分)7. （1分） He p_ me, and I fell into the water. 五、 语法填空 (共1题；共1分)8. （1分） (2018八上鞍山期末) The radio says it will be much _ (rain) tomorrow. 六、 任务型阅读 (共1题；共5分)9. （5分） (2016九上衢州期末) 任务型阅读。阅读以下内容，并完成句子，每空词数不限。Do some colours make you feel calm while others give you energy?
