Point your cameras toward the sky as February’s full moon, nicknamed the snow moon, will make its appearance from midnight Tuesday to midnight Thursday, according to NASA.
The snow moon will be at its brightest on February 16 at 11:57 a.m. American East Time, but the best time to view it will be after sunset. As a bonus, the moon will be above the east-northeastern horizon on Wednesday evening, which will place it near Regulus, a bright star.
February’s full moon will be generally visible in areas around the world that do not have dense cloud coverage. It will be below the horizon at the South Pole, though, and therefore not viewable from that area.
A large storm system forecast for the central and eastern United States is expected to bring cloud cover, making moongazing difficult Wednesday night into Thursday morning, especially for anyone east of the Rockies, according to CNN Meteorologist Haley Brink.
The best places in the US to view the full moon will be portions of the Southwest and California, where clearer skies are expected.
There are 10 full moons left in 2022, with two of them qualifying as supermoons. Here is a list of the remaining moons for 2022, according to the Farmers’ Almanac:
• March 18: Worm moon • April 16: Pink moon
• May 16: Flower moon • June 14: Strawberry moon
• July 13: Buck moon • August 11: Sturgeon moon
• September 10: Harvest moon • October 9: Hunter’s moon
• November 8: Beaver moon • December 7: Cold moon
While these are the popularized names associated with the monthly full moons, the significance of each one may vary across Native American tribes.
21．Where can people watch the snow moon most suitably this year?
A. At the South Pole. B. In the east of Rockies.
C. In the Central United States. D. In the Southwest of United States.
22．Which day is available for appreciating the Harvest moon?
A. April 16. B. September 10. C. October 9. D. December 7.
23．Who are most interested in the passage?
A. Space amateurs. B. Tourism lovers.
C. Fashion seekers. D. Sports enthusiasts.
B
“Hi everyone, my name is Yao Yuan,” said Mongolian performer Ayanga, 31, greeting the audience on stage.
The scene happened to the musical On the Road, first played in Beijing Tianqiao Performing Arts Center on Dec 24. The musical concentrates on Yao Yuan (played by Ayanga), a courier (快递员) at a private delivery company, who built his own express delivery and e-commerce business. By focusing on the changes of the delivery industry, the musical aims to reflect the rapid development of Chinese society in the past 20 years.
“Those straightforward and good-natured couriers are the first people I think of when it comes to the delivery industry,” Ayanga said. In 2018, he impressed the audience with performance in the show Super Vocal.
“Most people would naturally remind themselves of one scene – individual people riding an electric tricycle,” said the main actress, An Yuexi, 31, known as her role as Tangbao in The Journey of Flower.
“It’s difficult to make original musical with Chinese characteristics. The script was changed at least 10 times,” Ayanga told Beijing Daily. He would even call the director at midnight to share his new thoughts on the musical.
An also made sure her performance was the best it could be. “The biggest challenge is how to improve my singing technique with emotion on the stage,” she said. She hoped to convey to the audience the spirit of courageousness when they pursue their dreams. “The path to realize your dream is rough, but you’ll succeed as long as you keep moving on.” she added.
24．What is the musical “On the Road” mainly about?
A. It mainly deals with the life of Ayanga.
B. It introduces a private delivery company.
C. It centers on a courier’s life and business.
D. It reflects China’s rapid development in economy.
25．How did Ayanga feel about couriers initially?
A. Brave and serious.
B. Outgoing and optimistic.
C. Simple and broad-mined.
D. Frank and good-tempered.
26．What is the purpose of paragraph 5?
A. To show the director’s struggle.
B. To highlight Ayanga’s great efforts.
C. To describe the performance’s process.
D. To explain the importance of original musical.
27．What is the hardest part for the performance according to An?
A. Singing skill with emotion on the stage.
B. Sticking to the same goal all the time.
C. Voicing the spirits of courageousness.
D. Understanding the musical new opinions.
C
From tiny hummingbirds(蜂鸟) to giant whooping cranes, roughly half of the world’s more than 10,000 bird species migrate(迁徙). Longer wings and powerful flying muscles often help these birds cross vast expanses of air. But a study of nearly all bird species suggests many migrators share another unexpected flight aid: lighter-colored feathers.
Being a bit more lightly colored than non-migrating birds may help these long-distance fliers stay cool as they work hard under the hot sun to fly, researchers report December 6 in Current Biology.
It’s known that color can help birds hide from predators (捕食者) by blending in, or attract mates by standing out. But color has subtle effects too, including regulating temperature by absorbing or reflecting light, says Kaspar Delhey, an expert at the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Germany. For example, bird eggs laid in colder climates tend to be darker, which may help keep them warm.
Migrating birds push their bodies to the physiological limit, which creates much heat. Some species cope by rising to cooler air during daytime. “If overheating is a problem in migratory birds, another way of dealing with that would be to evolve lighter colors” that absorb less heat, Delhey says.
Delhey and his colleagues analyzed over 20,000 illustrations of 10,618 bird species, ranking feather lightness for each species and comparing that with how far the birds fly. On average, lightness slightly increased with migratory distance, the team found. The longest-distance migrators were about 4 percent lighter than non-migrators, an effect that wasn’t explained by size, climate or habitat type for different species.
“It’s not a big difference,” Delhey says, noting that many migrators are darkly colored, perhaps for reasons unrelated to flight. But the trend was remarkably consistent.“Very different groups with very different biologies show this pattern,” Delhey says.“That surprised us.”
28．Which of the following ignored previously help migratory birds fly?
A. Longer wings. B. Vast expanses of air.
C. Lighter-colored feathers. D. Powerful flying muscles.
29．What does the underlined word “subtle” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Smart. B. Terrible. C. Ambiguous. D. Tender.
30．How do migrating birds deal with overheating in them?
A. By evolving lighter colors. B. By reaching bodies’ limit.
C. By flying higher to the sky. D. By absorbing more lights.
31．What can be inferred from Delhey’s study?
A. 10,618 bird species fly over a long distance altogether.
B. Species of migrating birds’ feathers vary significantly.
C. Migrators with dark feathers are clearly related to flight.
D. Migratory distance can be judged by feathers’ lightness.
D
Anyone with a kid is aware of the fact that kids have a really unusual sense of humor, there’s no other way to put it. Sometimes it’s a non-funny situation that they find amusing. Whatever it is, you might be wondering what on earth they think is so funny. Up until recently, researchers weren’t sure what the timeline was of developing a sense of humor.
A group of researchers called the Early Humor Survey (EHS) aim to understand just that and help parents get a better understanding of their kids’ sense of humor. They surveyed a group of parents from the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia.
During the first year of their babies’ lives, parents observed the different ways their children appreciated humor and were even able to produce some humor on their own. More than 3/4ths of the parents found their babies laughing by the second month of their lives. By their first birthday, almost all parents reported that their kids were all laughing.
While babies don’t have a full understanding of humor, we are able to see when they’re smiling or if they’re happy. EHS authors were able to see that babies had the ability to appreciate humor before they are able to produce humor themselves.
According to Kids Health, children with a sense of humor are more optimistic, happier and are able to handle differences with others. They are also more well-liked by their peers and show a better handling of adversities of childhood, including bullying, or moving to a new town. Since parents are the biggest role models in children’s lives, it’s safe to say that they develop their sense of humor from interacting with their parents.
32．What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A. Children are born with a sense of humor.
B. Parents seek for the cause of kids’ humor.
C. Experts know when kids produce humor.
D. Kids’sense of humor differs from adults’.
33．Which of the following does Kids Health agree with?
A.The two-month-old babies begin to laugh.
B. Parents interpret children’s humor properly.
C. Humor helps kids cope with tough problems.
D. Kids understand humor while appreciating it.
34．What is the best title for the passage?
A. Kids’ Humor at a Very Early Stage
B. How Parents Care about Kids’ Growth
C. A New Discovery about Babies’ Humor
D. Why Humor Is Important in Kids’ Life
35．What can be talked about following the last paragraph？
A. How to create kids’ humor stories.
B. How to develop kids’ sense of humor.
C. How to distinguish types of kids’ humor.
D. How to make an assessment of kids’ humor.

The Fallas Festival (法雅节) in Spain
It is sometimes strange how world-famous festivals are started. 36 It takes place every March in Valencia of Spain.
Centuries ago, the city’s carpenters would empty their houses of all the old wood they had saved over the winter and burn it all in the local square. Over time, the carpenters began to use their old wood to carve different images. 37 Everyone would come to take a look and everything would be burnt.
The Fallas Festival is now one of the most popular festivals in Spain. 38 Today, 350 communities that make up Valencia work together to design and make two sculptures. These larger-than-life sculptures, often several meters high, are still made of wood, but also include cardboard. On the 15th of March, the sculptures are paraded around the city.
39 These will not be burnt at the end of the festival. They are instead, saved and placed in the local museum, which is open throughout the year. During the festival, there are lots of different community activities. Every activity ends with fireworks being let off during both the day and night.
The Fallas Festival always bring communities together. On the final night, all the sculptures are collected and put on a bonfire(大火堆) in the main Valencia square. The fire is lit and all the year's hard work comes to an end in towers of flames. 40
A. The Fallas Festival is an exception.
B. Everyone would participate in carving.
C. This is especially true with the Fallas Festival.
D. A competition is run where the best sculptures are chosen.
E. It also attracts people from the world to watch and take part.
F. Sometimes they would create funny images of famous people.

I went to the beach nearby. It was a 41 time watching families come and go for a warm weekend here. As I was near the end of the beach, I noticed a 42 playing alone. It seems that she built a little sandcastle with a moat(护河) 43 it and now was trying to 44 the canal with water.
