21、Tempeh, a traditional soy product from Indonesia, is hailed as the country’s “gift to the world,” like kimchi from Korea or miso from Japan.
A stable, cheap source of protein in Indonesia for centuries, tempeh is a fermented (发酵的) food originating from the island of Java. It was discovered during tofu production when discarded soybean residue caught microbial spores from the air and grew certain whitish fungi around it. When this fermented residue (残渣) was found to be edible and tasty, people began producing it at home for daily consumption across the country. This has given rise to many variations in its flavor and texture throughout different Indonesian regions.
Tempeh is high in protein and low in fat, and contains a host of vitamins. In fact, it is the only reported plant-based source of vitamin B12. Apart from being able to help reduce cholesterol (胆固醇), increase bone density, and promote muscle recovery, tempeh has a lot of polyphenols that protect skin cells and slow down the aging process. Best of all, with the same protein quality as meat and the ability to take on many flavors and textures, tempeh is a great meat substitute —something the vegetarian and vegan communities have been quick in adopting.
In addition to its highly nutritional makeup, tempeh has diverse preparation possibilities. It can be served as a main course (usually in curries) or a side dish to be eaten with rice, as a deep-fried snack, or even blended into smoothies and healthy juices. Though not yet a popular food among international diners, you may find tempeh-substituted BLTs (bacon, lettuce, tomato sandwiches) in San Francisco as easily as you can find vegetarian burgers with tempeh patties in Bali.
For the people of Indonesia, tempeh is not just food but also has cultural value. With the Indonesian traditional fabric batik (蜡染) being recognized by UNESCO as “Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity,” tempeh has great potential for this honor as well.
【1】According to the passage, which of the following is true about tempeh?
A．It is mainly served as a side dish.

22、 The summer before my 10th birthday my father moved our family of nine kids to a farm. We had always lived in a small city, in the house my dad had gotten from my grandparents, who had wanted fresh air, green food and lots of room for their children but failed. My father held the same will. He’d worked multiple jobs and saved for many years... and could finally afford a place in the countryside. Now a minor concern: the house had no running water or electricity. But there were 150 acres to run around in.
That first year my dad put in electricity, because my mom simply announced, “I won’t have oil lamps with children running around!” Indoor plumbing(管道系统) had to wait another year. Different friends, who my dad knew from work, asked if he’d take their large dogs who couldn’t run free in the city. So we all now played with a big orange-brown boxer and a sporty German Shorthaired Pointer, who we named Billy and Molly.
Minimalism was our goal, and also our only choice. Absolutely our clothes were hand-me-downs. Bananas and oranges were rare “imported” fruit we’d seen at holiday. We felt we were younger than peers (同龄人) -there was ONE birthday party a year! We’d take turns…once every 9 years a child would have his/her own party!
While money was so scarce, we had joy to hand all the time. My mother was always singing, yelling, or hugging. And she told us we owned plenty! To this day, each of us remembers those years as an abundance of things, laughter, arguing, making peace, and playing together! Every challenge was a game to defeat, and any failure was a chance to learn there.

23、 Since birth, Joy and Miriam were left at the gate of an orphanage (孤儿院). For the disabled sisters, who both have spina bifida (脊柱裂), it may have seemed that all hopes were lost at that time. But after being adopted by a British couple, they have become two of the country's most promising wheelchair basketball stars.
In 2005, the Haizes adopted them. Then, they moved to the UK when Joy was six and Miriam was seven. The girls discovered the wheelchair basketball through a chance conversation, which Mr. Haize had with a friend in 2011. They hadn't known wheelchair sports before, but Joy was hooked from the beginning.
While Miriam loved the sport, it took her a little longer to become a serious athlete. “I used to have really low self-respect,” she said. “It's only when Joy got into the Under 25s European Championships in 2013 that I started to take basketball seriously. It gave me a path to follow.” Miriam was then chosen to play at both regional trials and the Sainsbury's School Games in 2014. Of course, she earned herself a place at the famous GB Futures training camp. “GB Futures helped me a lot. It helped me take basketball to another level and learn more about the game and its history. It also helped me be more independent,” said Miriam. Meanwhile, Joy is currently the youngest player on the GB women's team — but she is making her mark on the international stage, having represented Great Britain in tournaments (锦标赛) all over the world.
The teenagers are now eager to encourage others to explore the world of wheelchair sports. “You should have confidence in yourself. That's the one thing to help you succeed. Having setbacks helped me grow into a person and player. No matter what people said to us, we just tried our best,” said the girls.
【1】What happened to Joy and Miriam when they were born?
A.They were adopted by a British couple. B.They were abandoned to an orphanage.
C.They moved to the UK with their parents. D.They lived with parents in an orphanage.
【2】The sisters first got to know the wheelchair basketball from ________.
A.GB Futures training camp B.their P.E. teacher by chance
C.a conversation in a TV program D.a talk between their father and his friend
【3】It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A.the Haizes aimed to train Joy to become the world champion
B.Joy set a good example to Miriam in the wheelchair basketball
C.it took Joy a long time to take the wheelchair basketball seriously
D.Miriam is the youngest player on the women's basketball team
【4】What suggestion did the disabled sisters give to others?
A.Put your heart into work! B.A good beginning is half done!
C.All roads lead to Rome. D.Believe in yourself!
24、 One day, gardeners might not just hear the buzz of bees among their flowers, but the whirr of robots, too. Scientists have managed to turn an unassuming drone into a remote-controlled pollinator by attaching horsehairs coated with a special, sticky glue to the under part of it.
Animal pollinators are needed for the reproduction of 90% of flowering plants and one third of human food crops. Chief among those are bees-but many bee populations in the United States have been in steep decline in recent decades. Thus, the decline of bees isn't just worrisome because it could spoil ecosystems. but also, because it could spoil agriculture and economy. People have been trying to come up with replacement techniques, but none of them are especially effective yet.
Scientists have thought about using drones, but they haven't figured out how to make free-flying robot insects that can rely on their own power source without being attached to a wire. “It’s very tough work." said Senior author Elijio Miyako, a chemist at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology. His particular contribution to the field involves a kind of glue, one he'd considered a mistake 10 years before and stuck in a storage cabinet. When it was rediscovered a decade later, it hadn't dried up or broke down at all. “I was so surprised because it still had high viscosity,” Miyako said.
The chemist noticed that when dropped, the glue absorbed an impressive amount of dust from the floor. Miyako realized this material could be very useful for picking up pollen. He and his colleagues chose a drone and attached horsehairs to its smooth surface to imitate a bee's furry body. They coated those horsehairs in the glue, and then controlled the drones over flowers, where they would pick up the pollen from one flower and then deposit the pollen at another one, thus fertilizing it.
The scientists looked at the hairs under a scanning electron microscope and counted up the pollen grains attached to the surface and found that the drones whose horsehairs had been coated with the glue had about 10 times more pollen than those that had not been coated with the glue.
Mivako does not think such drones would replace bees altogether, but could simply help bees with their pollinating duties. There’s a lot of work to be done before that's a reality, however. Small drones will need to become more controllable and energy efficient, as well as smarter, with better GPS and artificial intelligence.
【1】What does the underlined word “viscosity” in Para.3 probably mean?
A.Hardness. B.Stickiness.
C.Flexibility. D.Purity.
【2】We can learn from the passage that .
A.bees disturb both agriculture and economy
B.scientists invented automatic robot insects
C.Miyako found the special feature of the glue accidently
D.bees in the United States are on the edge of extinction
【3】A drone works best in picking up pollen when ___
A.it is coated with the glue B.its body is made like a bee's
C.researchers control it precisely D.horsehairs with the glue are attached to it
【4】According to Eijiro Miyako, the drones____
A.are not yet ready for practical use B.may eventually replace bees in the future
C.are much more efficient than bee pollinators D.can provide a solution to economic depression

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I used to hate running. It seemed too hard, and pushing outside my comfort zone was not something I was raised to do.
In fact, I wouldn't have become a runner if it weren't for my husband Charles. He had been a serious competitive runner for many years. But several years ago, he quitted running for some reason. After our marriage, he wouldn't stop talking about how much he missed it.
"So start running again, why don't you?" I was getting tired of hearing about it.
So he picked it up again, and after a year or so, I started to join him at the track. Just a few weeks later, Charles signed us both up for a five-kilometer race in my city. I hesitated about doing it. After all, it was too soon.
But on the race day, there I was. As soon as the gun went off, thousands of runners pushed forward.
The first kilometer was too tough for me.
"I don't think I'm going to make it." I was already breathing heavily and painfully aware of the group of runners pounding past me.
"No, you're doing great", said Charles. He was trying to encourage me, to get me focused on something other than my discomfort.
"I can't," I said, in a weak voice.
He tried a different way to persuade me. "Just make it to that house and let's see how you feel." I had to continue, sweating all over.
After another minute I saw the three-kilometer mark. All I could think of was that I was dying and that my husband was torturing (折磨)me.
Miserable doesn't even begin to describe how I felt. And there was pain, so much pain that I was on the verge of breakdown.
"You'll be fine. You've got less than a kilometer to go," Charles shouted loudly.
