But how many kids can say their paper airplanes have been built life-size and then flown? At least one: 12-year-old Arturo Veldenegro of Tucson, Arizona, who won the Pima Air& Space Museum’s first annual Great Paper AirplaneProject Fly-Off in March 2012.“The purpose of the competition is to inspire and draw kids’interest in science and flight,”says Tim Vimmerstedt, director of the museum.About 150 kids entered the competition. The young designers learned about how airplanes fly and then set to work designing their own planes.Arturo designed and built his airplane. When hen was finished, he took his plane to the flight area and let it fly, outdistancing the other competitors in all age groups. At last, Arturo’s airplane flew the farthest---more than 75 feet!As the winner, Arturo got to meet with a team of engineers, which took his design and made a bigger one. The new paper airplane might have been the largest one ever built! Arturo named his large paper airplane Arturo’s Desert Eagle.Later a helicopter tried to lift the paper airplane over the Arizona desert, but it was unsuccessful. Engineers worked for eight hours to repair it for a second try. This time, the helicopter managed to raise it to 2700 feet and then set the plane free.Arturo watched as his plane flew through the sky at speeds of up to 98 miles per hour for 10 seconds before falling to pieces.“I felt happy but sad,” Arturo says, “ It flew really well, but it was sad to see it destroyed.”But that wasn’t the end of Arturo’s Desert Eagle. The Pima Air & Space Museum collected the pieces of the broken plane and put them on show to inspire other young engineers to reach for the sky.36. According to the text, the Great Paper Airplane Project Fly-Off competition _______A. has been held many timesB. can only be entered by kidsC. is to choose the largest planeD. is held by a team of designers37. The underlined word ”outdistancing” in Para 4 means ________A. looking forB. believing inC. throwing awayD. leaving behind38. What do we know about the paper airplane Arturo built?A. It flew the highestB. It flew for 20 minutesC. It flew more than 75 feetD. it took him eight hours to build39. In the end, Arturo’s Desert Eagle ______A. was made into a helicopterB. was produced in many placesC. was sold to a team of engineersD. was put on show in the museumBJoe is interested in getting exercise and competing on a team.

However, Martha was very honest about the food. She did not just describe the food. She judged the taste and health of the food.Martha also began to use her blog for an important reason. She began to raise money for the organization Mary’s Meals in the East African country of Malawi. It provides food food for children in schools for free. Martha encouraged her readers to send money to Mary’s Meals to help build a kitchen.But then, Martha began to have a problem. Many people read her blog. She became big news. The news stories showed that the food at Martha’s school was not always healthy. And that made some people angry. So the school officials decided to stop Martha’s blog. They said that she could not take her camera to school.But an amazing thing happened. Many people began sending messages of support across the Internet. Martha’s story was even bigger than before. Now the officials had to change their minds. A few days later, Martha was again writing her blog. But more than that, people had sent a lot of money for the Malawi school children. Martha had hoped to raise about 10,000 dollars. But the total reached 10,000 dollars and still kept on growing!Martha’s blog also helped to improve meals at her school. One day she wrote: As we waited for dinner we were told that we are allowed to eat as much fruit and bread as we want.No one knows what will happen to Martha’s blog in future. But already this little girl has helped to change the eating experience of many children just by sharing on the Internet pictures of her school meals.43. Martha wrote about her school meals on her blog to ______A. invite students to judge the foodB. show the terrible taste of foodC. express her opinion about the foodD. ask the school t improve the food44. The organization Mary’s Meals _______A. was set up by MarthaB. provides free school mealsC. is an international organizationD. help poor families build kitchens45. Why did the school officials want to prevent Martha writing her blog?A. It had a bad influence on her study.B. Some people were upset by it content.C. Taking pictures needs a lot of time.D. Many other students started to copy her.46. What’s the best title for the text?A. School mealsB. Mary’s MealsC. Power of the InternetD. Martha shares her foodDKids at the Interlake School Division were the first Canadian students to take part in a program to send experiments to the International Space Station.(ISS).Jordan Schott and three other sixth grade students came up with the idea to test royal jelly(蜂王浆) in space . Their experiment came very close to be tested on the space station. “We were seeing if we could send it to space, and if it would lose its nutritional value” faster and or slower, ”said Schott. Schott is one of the 18 students in the Space Knights Club at Woodlands Elementary School, part of the Interlake School Division. Over 450 students from the Division took part in the program.“I thought we were just students and we couldn’t do much in the way of that. It’s a way to communicate with people up there ,” said Braeden Clark, a seventh grade student who is also in the club.The astronauts shared what they learned with their school with a full day of activities all about science and space.Teacher Maria Nickel is the organizer of the club. She said the day was great for students to learn what they could do. “Space is one of those great things that get kids excited, but it also gives them the chance to do so much. They can be an astronaut; they can be an engineer, ”She said.The day was held in honour of Chris Hadfield, a Canadian astronaut now in the Internal Space Station. “It gives kids someone more to look up to. Here’s a real hero to look up to who’s doing it all, doing it through education,” said Nickel.Jordan Schott thinks it’s really cool. “To me it seems so cool how people can go up to space, and science is something I’ve always liked,” She said. Schott says she wants to follow in the footsteps of Hadfield and be an astronaut when she gets older.One of the winning experiments in the competition was produced by students from Argyle, Manitoba. It will travel to the space station in the fall of 2013.47. The program at the Interlake School Division________-A. was carried out by 18 students.B. was to test royal jelly in spaceC. was designed to send experiments to the ISSD. allowed the first students to connect with the ISS48. We can infer from the text that Maria Nickel__________-A. thinks it’s cool to live in the ISSB. encourages students to be astronautsC. helps students develop their interest in spaceD. thinks Chris Hadfield sets a good example to the students49. What do we know Jordan Schott?A. She is seventh graderB. She dreams of being an engineerC. She respects Chris Hadfield very muchD. She didn’t like science when she was young50. What’s the main idea of the text?A. Kids carry out experiments for the ISS.B. Winners of competitions travel to the ISS.C. Astronauts do activities together with studentsD. Interlake School Division trains students to be astronauts.第二节（共5小题，每小题3分，满分15分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
