21、 Last year, a team of biologists and computer scientists from Tufts University and the University of Vermont (UVM) created novel, self-healing biological machines called Xenobots 1.0. Measuring less than 1mm long and made up of 500—1,000 living cells, it could move around, and demonstrate cooperative group activities while collecting piles of micro particles.
The research team has now created a new generation—Xenobots 2.0, which move faster, and have a longer life than the first edition, and they still have the ability to work together in groups and heal themselves if damaged.
The biologists took stem cells from embryos of the African frog Xenopus (hence the name Xenobots) and allowed them to develop independently and grow into small balls, where some of the cells after a few days began to produce cilia, tiny hair-like things sticking out that move back and forth or turn around in a specific way, which gives the new round robots “legs” to move them rapidly across a surface.
“We want Xenobots 2.0 to do useful work. Right now, we're giving them simple tasks such as garbage collection in the blood, but ultimately, we're aiming for a new kind of living tool that could, for example, clean up microplastics in the ocean or pollutants in the soil.” said Michael Levin, a famous professor of Biology from Tufts University.
It turns out, the new Xenobots 2.0 are much faster and better than last year's model. They can record information to adjust the robot's actions and behaviors, and they can also repair and restore themselves if they become damaged. Healing is a natural feature of living organisms, and it is a new model system that can provide a foundation for regenerative medicine.
【1】Which advantage does the Xenobots 2.0 have over the first edition?
A．It changes faster.
B．It performs better.
C．It becomes longer.
D．It evolves more slowly.
【2】What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．The definition of Xenobots 2.0.
B．The function of Xenobots 2.0.
C．The movement of Xenobots 2.0.
D．The development of Xenobots 2.0.
【3】What can Xenobots 2.0 do at present?
A．Break down nutrients.
B．Sweep out pollutants in the soil.
C．Collect garbage in the blood.
D．Clean up the microplastics in the ocean.
【4】On what basis will Xenobots 2.0 contribute to regenerative medicine?
A．Recording.
B．Healing.
C．Memorizing.
D．Moving
22、For the rest of March, a disease will sweep across the US. It will keep kids home from school. 【1】 Employees will suddenly lose their ability to concentrate.
The disease, known as “March Madness”， refers to the yearly 65team US men's college basketball tournament (锦标赛). 【2】 Teams compete against each other in a singleelimination (单局淘汰) tournament that eventually crowns a national champion.
Nearly 20 million Americans will find themselves prisoners of basketball festival madness. The fun comes partly from guessing the winners for every game. Friends compete against friends. 【3】 Colleagues against bosses.
Bigname schools are usually favored to advance into the tournament. But each year there are dark horses from littleknown universities.
This adds to the madness. Watching a team from a school with 3,000 students beat a team from a school with 30,000, for many Americans, is an exciting experience. Two years ago, the littleknown George Mason University was one of the final four teams. 【4】
College basketball players are not paid, so the game is more about making a name for their university and themselves. 【5】 About $4 billion will be spent gambling (赌) on the event. According to Media Life magazine, the event will bring in $500 million in advertising income this year, topping the post－ season income of every US professional league, including that of the NBA.
A．Husbands against wives.
B．The players will go all out for the games.
C．But that doesn't mean money isn't involved.
D．College students will ignore piles of homework.
E．People are willing to spend more money on watching it.
F．It begins on March 15 and lasts through the beginning of April.
G．Many people had never even heard of the university before the tournament.
23、A farmer grew some vegetables in his garden. One day his wife was ill and he had no money. He had to sell some cabbages and carrots in the market. The next morning he took two baskets of vegetables to town, but it was raining hard that afternoon and there were few people in the street. When his vegetables were sold out, it was dark. He bought some medicine and hurried to his village.
On his way home he saw a person lying on the ground. He placed his baskets on the ground and was going to help the person to get up. At that time he found it was a dead man and there was much blood on his body. He was so afraid that he ran away quickly, without taking his baskets.
The next afternoon the farmer was sent to the police station. Having shown the baskets, an officer asked, “Are these yours? ” “Yes, sir. ” The farmer answered timidly（胆怯地）. “Have you killed the man?” “No, no, sir.” The farmer said in a hurry. “When did you see the dead man?” “About seven last evening. ” “Did you see who killed the man?” “No, sir. ” The officer brought out a knife and asked, “Have you seen it yet?” “No, sir. ” The officer became angry and told the policemen to beat him up and sent him into prison(监狱)。

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。
Kareem sighed as he counted his money again. He was still short of fifty dollars to buy the latest Speedster X bike. In order to save his pocket money to replace his old bike, he had been packing sandwiches to school the last three months.
“How can I get that fifty dollars?” he thought to himself. His mind was wondering when Mother’s voice disturbed his thoughts. “Kareem, I just ran into Aunty Kim, our neighbour who just moved in next door. Her son, Shawn, will cycle to school next week. Could you show him the shortcut to school later? It’s Saturday anyway!” Hearing this, Kareem had no option but to obey it, He knew Mother had probably already volunteered his service to Aunty Kim. “Oh, here’s a mail from your Grandma. Open it!” added Mother.
Kareem’s grandmother lived abroad and she would send him photos and cards. He opened the envelope and pulled out a greeting card. Incredibly, a fifty dollar note slipped out as well! Kareem was wild with joy. Waving the note in the air, he shouted happily, “Enough money for my bike!”
At 2 p. m. Kareem met Shawn as arranged by their mothers. The sooner he finished this task, the sooner he could go to the bike shop. While the boys were cycling, a squirrel (松鼠) appeared behind a parked car and dashed across the road so suddenly that the boys knocked into each other and fell down heavily. Kareem said regretfully, “I forgot to warn you about the squirrel population here.” As Kareem was lifting up his broken bike, Shawn cried anxiously, “Oh, my poor bike! It’s completely broken.”
Watching Shawn carrying the disabled bike home in silence, Kareem hurried to the bike shop for his dream bike. The sign “Half Price for Old Models” in the shop attracted his eyes.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；

“Hi!” Kareem appeared at Shawn’s door cheerfully and asked, “Want to ride together?”
