21、A French company wants to recreate public lighting by introducing — much like in a fantasy or science-fiction story — bacterial bioluminescence (生物照明) to street lights.
One of the most amazing phenomena in nature, all kinds of animals and plants use enzymes (酶) to glow (发光) in the dark, whether in an attractive woodland, the bottom of the sea, or even in the town of Rambouillet, 35 miles outside of Paris.
“Our goal is to change the way in which cities use light,” Sandra Rey, founder of the French company Glowee, which is behind a public project in Rambouillet, said. “We want to create an atmosphere that better respects citizens and the environment — and to introduce this new idea of light as a real alternative.”
Critics say that bacterial bioluminescence produces less than a quarter of the light from the lowest acceptable public lighting LED bulbs. However, Rey says they’re missing the point, that glowing green fungi (真菌) in public flower boxes, or tubes of saltwater filled with the blue glow of tiny organisms offer the chance to recreate public lighting. Up to now, Glowee has received €100,000 to turn Rambouillet into a “full-scale bioluminescence experiment.”
Small tubes contain billions of individuals from a bacterium collected off the coast of France, which glow a gentle blue. A small mix of basic nutrients is added to the football-sized tubes, which give off around 15 lumens of light, and a small mechanism pulls oxygen into the tank which the enzyme in the bacteria’s cells needs to create light. To tum off the light, one simply stops circulating the oxygen.
However, the company still has a long way to go. The EU has laws for minimum allowable street lights, for which Glowee remains 75% off mark. Apart from that, as of now they provide the light for Rambouillet, and event lighting, but nothing else, although a spokesperson said they have 40 city-lighting projects in the factories in countries across Europe.
【1】What can we say about the bacterial bioluminescence?
A．Controversial.
B．Practical.
C．Widely-accepted.
D．Cost- saving.
【2】What’s Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A．How the lighting tubes work.
B．Why the green fungi are chosen.
C．Where the bacteria come from.
D．When the tubes give off light.
【3】In which section of a website may the text be taken from?
A．Fantasy Land.
B．Green Earth.
C．Good Health.
D．Plant World.
22、We know from research that putting pen to paper has many benefits that can support wellness in this time of digital overload. It has been scientifically proven to reduce anxiety, lift your mood and strengthen your immune system. 【1】 Close your laptop, grab a notebook and pen, open to a blank page, and write down whatever comes to mind.
I’ve been journaling for more than 25 years. When I write by hand, I release feelings and emotions that roll down the tip of the pen and onto the page. Turns out that the art of formatting each letter on the page helps you better keep the information you are recording. 【2】
【3】 There’s no need to worry about the device I am working on being charged up, or being distracted away from the very thing I am working on with the endless noise of incoming messages, or getting the required signal from the Internet.
One weekend, I sat for over an hour and hand wrote three birthday cards. I found myself lost in the writing space and totally engaged in the hand-lettering design that I created on the envelopes. 【4】That was a sharp contrast to the concentration of multitasking. Writing by hand builds your creative muscles, which don’t get stimulated in the same impactful way when you work on a keyboard.
The wise words of Nancy Olson show the benefits of writing by hand: “【5】 It transports us to unexpected places, on wings that require only a small amount of ink to keep them high, destination unknown. And in the process, the mindfulness that writing creates encourages calm and creativity.”
A．So why not give writing by hand a try?
B．Perhaps this is the true magic of the pen.
C．It can also help you organize the thoughts.
D．The act of journaling takes many people offline.
E．The power of focus in that moment was charming.
F．Writing spaces, no matter how short, are like a mindfulness.
G．I love the directness of putting pen to paper without being interrupted.
23、 The idea of progress started to flower in the 17th century. At that time, many wise thinkers believed that man liberated by reason would rise to ever greater heights of achievement. The many expressions of human nature would be the engines of progress: language, business, science, and moral sensibility. Unfortunately, most of those engines have failed to bring the desired human progress.
The modern age has belonged to material progress and its main source has been science. Science gives huge power to change the world. But can people be trusted to use it always for good? Think of biotechnology and information technology. And it is not just that scientific progress does not deliver the emotional goods. People also fear that mankind is failing to manage science properly. The forests are disappearing; the ice is melting; privacy is leaking; life is becoming a depressing march in an ugly world.
The point is not that science is harmful, but that scientific progress needs to be mapped tidily onto human progress. That relies on moral sensibility in its widest sense. This liberal force offers hope for a better future. The very idea of moral sensibility probably sounds out-of-date. But researchers find that people desire a sense of moral purpose which would give life dignity. People want to determine how the world works, not always to be determined by it. Moral sensibility is why people will suffer for their beliefs, and why acts of noble self-sacrifice are so powerful.
It is admitted that our moral ideals will never be realized completely. But sometimes, however imperfectly, we can make progress. Human dignity requires the love of ideals for their own sake, but nothing requires that the love be returned. Human progress is neither guaranteed nor is it hopeless. Instead, it is up to us.
【1】What do we know about human progress according to Paragraph 1?
A．A lot of great thinkers were greatly liberated by the idea of progress.
B．People began to think about human progress in the 17th century.
C．Thinkers in the 17th century held a belief about human progress.
D．It was language that failed to convey human progress.
【2】Which of the following is why science fails to bring the desired human progress?
A．Science gives much power to change and takes over the world.
B．Scientific progress does not transmit people's feelings.
C．People are unable to make full use of biotechnology and information technology.
D．Scientific progress requires reasonable management in contact with moral sensibility.
【3】What's the function of moral sensibility from the author's opinion?
A．It gives people desire for dignified life.
B．It can make people work hard for the future.
C．It urges people to build a sense of self-sacrifice
D．People are able to use it to determine themselves.
【4】Why does the author write the passage?
A．To list the reasons of the idea of progress.
B．To highlight the importance of the liberal force in human progress.
C．To criticize people's focus on material progress in human development.
D．To express anxiety about our future life.

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。
Sigrid finished milking the cow and stepped out of the barn into the cold air. It was almost summer, but icebergs still filled the narrow sea. She set the bucket down, only to find that the milk reached merely halfway to the top. If we don't get more food soon, she thought anxiously, we will have to eat the cow. And then what will we do?
Grandfather used to tell her that when their Norse ancestors first came to Greenland, the fields were rich with grass. But in recent years, the climate has been getting colder and the summers shorter. When her grandfather was a little boy, there were as many as fifteen cows in the family's barn. Now there is just one. And the family has barely enough hay to feed it.
A gust of wind sending a chill down her spine, Sigrid stuffed her hands into the pockets to warm them. Her fingers felt her most prized possession, a piece of red cloth she'd had since she was a small girl. She took the cloth out of her pocket and let it unfold. It was barely longer than her arm. But its brilliant colour was bright against the stark(荒凉的) landscape. The cloth had once been part of a dress—in happier, more prosperous times. Nobody dresses like that anymore.
With ice-filled seas, ships no longer arrive with foods and goods to trade. All of a sudden, movement on the water caught Sigrid's eye. A light boat moved silently between the icebergs. An Inuk boy, about Sigrid's age, was looking her way, staring at the red cloth fluttering(飘动) in the breeze. A hunting weapon was tied to the front of his boat. And dragging behind it was a large fish. Sigrid knew there had been fights between the Inuit and the Norse. But the boy had a kind face and did not reach for his weapon.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

She couldn't help but wonder what to do.
