Readers who long imagined themselves in Harry Potter’s world have a chance to absorb themselves in another fictional universe created by J.K. Rowling. The author said that she would release (发布) The Ickabog, a new story for young readers, for free online.

The first chapter of the fairy tale about a monster known as the Ickabog was published on May 26, and further chapters will be released every week until July 10. It is targeted to readers aged 7 to 9 and will be published as a book in November. The story concerns rumors (谣言) of a fierce child-eating monster with extraordinary powers which lives in the northern tip of an imaginary land known as Cornucopia.

Rowling said she had started working on the book more than a decade ago, while she was still writing Harry Potter, and originally intended to publish it after Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the last of her seven-book Potter series. But she ended up keeping The Ickabog, which isn’t related to Harry Potter or any of Rowling’s other work, in her family, reading it to her young children and then putting it away until recently. “I’ve decided to publish The Ickabog for free online, so children on lockdown, or even those back at school during these strange, unsettling times, can read it or have it read to them,” Rowling said. Rowling said she would donate her royalties (版税) for the book to causes related to the coronavirus (冠状病毒) diseases.

Readers will have a chance to participate in the process. Rowling’s publishers around the world will hold an illustration (插图) competition, encouraging children to submit (提交) drawings to accompany the story. The best submissions will end up in the book’s final edition when it is published in the fall.

Rowling’s children, now teenagers, are “touchingly ecstatic” about the publication of their childhood bedtime story, Rowling wrote on her site. She started reading chapters to them again recently, which she said was “one of the most extraordinary experiences of my writing life. ”

1.It will take at least ______ for readers to finish reading The Ickabog online.

A.a week B.one month and a half C.three months D.six months

2.What do you know about the The Ickabog?

A.It is the name of an imaginary island. B.It sees teenagers as targeted readers.

C.It is a continuation of the Potter series. D.It was completed a long time ago.

3.Why does J. K. Rowling release the book free online?

A.To collect money for coronavirus research.

B.To involve readers in the illustration competition.

C.To entertain children over the COVID-19 period.

D.To appeal to Harry Potter lovers.

4.What does the underlined word “ecstatic” probably mean?

The act of social distancing has become an effective protective measure against the novel coronavirus and a part of everyday life across the world. Many countries have launched different social distancing measures. Some are strict while others are creative. Let’s take a look at three special quarantine (隔离) measures around the world.

Panama

With more than 3,000 confirmed cases by April 12, Panama has announced strict quarantine measures. One of them is to separate people by gender to go out.

Starting in April, males in the country are required to leave home on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday while females can go out on Monday, Wednesday and Friday every week. No one is allowed to go out on Sundays. To further prevent the spread of COVID-19, citizens are able to leave their homes for only two hours at a time. But according to the Guardian, the restriction measures do not apply to civil servants or her important staff who are battling against the novel coronavirus on the frontline.

Colombia

ID numbers are unique identification tools for individuals, but they may also be used to decide when people can go out in Colombia during the novel coronavirus epidemic. According to the BBC, people in some Colombian towns are allowed to be outside based on the last digit (数字) of their national ID number. For example, in northwest-central Colombia, Barrancabermeja, people with an ID number ending in zero, four or seven are allowed to leave the house on Monday, while those with an ID number ending in one, five or eight can go outside on Tuesday.

France

Though outdoor exercise is a good way to keep healthy, it can sometimes cause too many people to gather in one place. In order to prevent the spread of COVID-19, Paris has forbidden all outdoor exercise between 10 am and 7 pm. Outside of this time span, people are allowed to exercise individually as long as it’s for less than an hour and within one kilometer of their home. If people break the rule, they will face fines of between €135 ( about 1,040 yuan) and €375.

1.What can we learn about Panama’s social distancing measures?

A.All citizens should follow the rules of going out by gender.

B.Ordinary citizens can stay outside for at most two hours at a time.

C.Civil servants are allowed to go out every day except on Sundays.

D.None can go out for dinner, starting in April.

2.Which group is allowed to go out on Tuesdays in Barrancabermeja, during the epidemic?

A.Females.

B.Males.

C.Those with an ID number ending in one, five or eight.

D.Those with an ID number ending in zero, four or seven.

3.Which of the following follows the rules in France?

A.Cycling around one’s home at 6 pm. B.Playing badminton in front of one’s house at noon.

C.Playing basketball with friends at 9 pm. D.Jogging alone near one’s home from 8 am to 8:30 am.

The United States space agency will send a spacecraft to explore the sun more closely than ever before on Saturday. NASA'S Parker Solar Probe（探测器）will fly through the hot solar atmosphere and come within just 6 million kilometers of the sun's surface.

The Parker Probe will get almost seven times closer to the sun than earlier spacecraft. To do this, it will fly past Venus（金星）seven times over seven years. Each pass will change the probe's orbit by providing a gravity push. It will move ever closer to the sun and straight into the corona（日冕）, the sun's outermost atmosphere.

By exploring the sun's corona, scientists hope to learn why it is hundreds of times hotter than the sun's surface. They will also study what drives the solar wind.

The project was proposed in 1958, the same year NASA was established. Now, "it's becoming a reality," said project manager Andy Driesman.

The Parker spacecraft has a 2.4 meter heat shield（护罩）that is 11 centimeters thick. It is made of two carbon sheets. The front has a white coating to reflect sunlight. It is expected to shine red when it experiences the extreme solar heat. Almost everything on the spacecraft will be behind this shield to keep its scientific instruments relatively cool.

Besides, the spacecraft will also be traveling at a high speed. The probe will reach 690,000 kilometers per hour in the corona. The spacecraft will make its first flight past Venus in early October. Its first pass by the sun is expected in November.

The Parker Solar Probe is the first NASA spacecraft to be named after someone who is still alive. Eugene Parker is a 91-year-old professor at the University of Chicago. He predicted the existence of solar wind 60 years ago. He plans to be at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in the southern state of Florida to see the launch.

1.What's the advantage of the Parker Probe compared to the earlier ones?

A.It can change the orbit by flying past the sun.

B.It can get closer to the sun and into the corona.

C.It can study the effect of solar wind.

D.It can fly through the hot solar atmosphere without protection.

2.What can be inferred from the passage?

A.Human had little achievements in exploring the sun.

B.Eugene Parker is the first one to study the sun.

C.The Parker Probe has to get close to the sun with the help of Venus.

D.Human can get close to the sun's surface within 6 million kilometers today.

3.What can we learn about Eugene Parker?

A.He started NASA.

B.He foresaw the solar wind when he was 31.

C.He designed the Parker spacecraft.

D.He will study the sun using the Parker spacecraft.

4.Judging from the content, the passage most probably belongs to 　　　　 .

A.a story book B.an advertisement

C.a science fiction D.a news report

Minutes after the last movie ended yesterday at the Plaza Theater, employees were busy sweeping up popcorns and gathering coke cups. It was a scene that had been repeated many times in the theater’s 75-year history. This time, however, the cleanup was a little different. As one group of workers carried out the rubbish, another group began removing seats and other theater equipment in preparation for the building’s end.

The classic film The Last Picture Show was the last movie shown in the old theater. Though the movie is 30 years old, most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say good-bye to the old building. Theater owner Ed Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed appropriate. The movie is set in a small town where the only movie theater is preparing to close down.

Bradford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete. He added that the theater’s location(位置) was also a reason. “This used to be the center of town,” he said. “Now the area is mostly office buildings and warehouses.”

Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turning the old theater into a museum and public meeting place. However, these plans were abandoned because of financial problems. Bradford sold the building and land to a local development firm, which plans to build a shopping complex on the land where the theater is located.

The theater audience said good-bye as Bradford locked the doors for the last time. After 75 years the Plaza Theater had shown its last movie. The theater will be missed.

1.In what way was yesterday’s cleanup at the Plaza special?

A.It made room for new equipment. B.It marked the 75th anniversary of the theater.

C.It was done with the help of the audience. D.It signaled the close down of the theater.

2.Why was The Last Picture Show put on?

A.It was an all-time classic. B.It was about the history of the town.

C.The theater owner found it suitable. D.The audience requested it.

3.What will probably happen to the building?

A.It will be repaired. B.It will be knocked down.

C.It will be turned into a museum. D.It will be sold to the city government.

4.What can we infer about the audience?

A.They are sad to part with the old theater. B.They are disappointed with Bradford.

C.They are supportive of the city officials. D.They are eager to have a shopping center.

In November,a cold,unseen stranger that killed many people came to visit the city..

Johnsy lay on her bed,seriously ill.Her friend Sue saw she was looking out the window and counting-counting backward.”Twelve,”she said,and a little later”eleven”;and then”ten”and”nine”;and then”eight”“and”seven,”almost together.

Sue looked out the window.An old ivy vine(常青藤)，going bad at the roots,climbed half way up the wall.The cold breath of autumn had stricken leaves from the plant until its branches, almost bare(光秃秃的)，hung on the bricks.

“What is it,dear?”asked Sue.

“Leaves.On the plant.When the last one falls I must go,too.”

“Oh,what have old ivy leaves to do with your getting well?Try to eat some soup now,”said Sue.”And,I must call Mister Behrman up to be my model for my drawing.Don’t try to move until I come back.”

Old Behrman was a painter who lived on the ground floor.Behrman was a failure in art.For years,he had always been planning to paint a work of art,but had never yet begun it.He was a fierce(暴躁的)，little,old man who protected the two young women in the studio apartment above him.

Sue told him about Johnsy and how she feared that her friend would float away like a leaf.

Old Behrman was angered at such an idea.”This is not any place in which one so.good as Miss Johnsy shall lie sick,”yelled Behrman.”Some day I will paint a masterpiece,and we shall all go away.”

The next morning,Johnsy and Sue were surprised to find there yet stood against the wall one ivy leaf after the beating rain and fierce wind that blew through the night.It was the last one on the vine.It was still dark green at the center.But its edges were colored with the yellow.It hung bravely from the branch about seven meters above the ground.

“It is the last one,”said Johnsy.”It will fall today and I shall go at the same time.”

But the next morning,the ivy leaf was still there.Johnsy lay for a long time,looking at it. And then she called to Sue,who was preparing chicken soup.”

Something has made that last leaf stay there to show me how bad I was.It is wrong to want to die.You may bring me a little soup now.”said Johnsy.

The next day,the doctor came,and told Sue Johnsy was out of danger.

Later that day,Sue came to the bed where Johnsy lay,and put one arm around her.”Mr. Behrman died of pneumonia(肺炎)today.He was sick only two days.They found him the morning of the first day in his room downstairs helpless with pain.His shoes and clothing were completely wet and icy cold.They could not imagine where he had been on such a terrible night. And then they found a lantern,still lighted.And a ladder that had been moved from its place. And art supplies and a painting board with green and yellow colors mixed on it.”

“Look out the window,dear,at the last ivy leaf on the wall.Didn’t you wonder why it never moved when the wind blew?Ah,darling,it is Behrman’s masterpiece-he painted it there the night that the last leaf fell.”

1.In the first paragraph,”a cold,unseen stranger”refers to____

A.a person B.an illness C.a beast D.an object

2.What does Johnsy mean when she says”when the last one falls I must go,too.”?
