21、September 21, 2050--At a press conference today it was announced that the first tourist heading for Mars will be the 38-year-old US businessman Patrick Clifford.He will leave the earth in the launching window of June 2052 and set his foot on the surface of Mars in November, together with the other 6 astronauts assigned for the mission to further explore the planet.
Patrick has now two years of training ahead of him to get ready for the trip. Not only will he spend five months in getting to Mars, but another 600 days there before he can go back home. Patrick was of course very excited, “This has been my dream since I was four, and seeing the first man on Mars 20 years ago made me realize that it was possible.”
To be able to pay the $ 1.3 billion for his ticket for the trip Patrick sold his majority stake(股份)in the company his father had built.“I know that my father would have been proud of me if he had still been alive today, he knew what this means to me”, says Patrick. There is no risk though that you will find Patrick begging in your street corner when he comes back, but it is said that he was paid twice as much for his part of the company.
So, how is he going to spend his 600 days on the red planet？“Well, since I don’t have a job when I get back after selling the company, I have plenty of time to come up with a new business idea”, he says and laughs. If he brings a shovel (铁锹) he can start building the first hotel there, but maybe he shouldn’t expect too many guests until someone can offer a cheaper ticket.
【1】How long will Patrick Clifford be away before he comes back?
A．About five months.
B．About two years.
C．About 600 days.
D．About 750 days.
【2】The underlined part in Paragraph 3 means that ________．

C．we needn’t worry about Patrick’s economic condition
D．it’s likely that Patrick will be very poor after he comes back
【3】What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Patrick is an optimistic man.
B．A total of six people will go to Mars.
C．Patrick’s father felt excited at the news.
D．Patrick will spend all his money on the trip.
22、 Around this time a few years ago, it was common to see videos of friends on social media having a bucket of icy water thrown on them. Known as the “ice bucket challenge”, it was created as a way to raise money for the medical condition ALS. But now, there’s a new challenge and this time, no water is involved.
What is it? Well, think of a fruit that you’d never normally sink your teeth into. Perhaps you’ve got it: a lemon. While we enjoy using lemons to add flavor to dishes, very few of us would actually eat one as we’d eat an apple or an orange.
But the horrible taste is the precise reason why the “lemon face challenge” is taking off. Participants bite into a lemon, taking a selfie as they do it before posting the photo online. The fun is all about expression people make as all that citric acid（柠檬酸）hits their taste buds（味蕾）. Every expression seems to say, “This is worse than freezing water.”
The serious side to this trend is the good cause it’s all in aid of. The challenge aims to raise awareness of a rare brain cancer that affects young children. It was started by Aubregh Nicholas, an 11-year-old US kid. She was diagnosed with this rare brain cancer herself in September 2017, but has since raised almost $50000 to cover her medical expenses thanks to the challenge.
If a challenge is going to raise publicity and contributions from people, it has to be something interesting and original. That way the ice bucket challenge took off in 2014 and it explains why so many people are now sharing their lemon faces. There are a lot of stories about the downside of social media these days. The charity challenges, however, show how online culture can unite the world and bring help to the people who most need it.
【1】Why is the icy bucket challenge mentioned in the article?

【2】Compared with the pre-Internet charity, what is the advantage of online charity?
A.It raises more money than ever before.
B.It is started by the people who suffer rare diseases.
C.It brings people together easily and quickly.
D.It causes little doubt among people .
【3】What does the underlined phrase “take off” in the last paragraph mean?
A.go away suddenly B.become successful and popular
C.remove your clothes D.take a break
【4】What is the author’s attitude towards online charity?
A.positive B.indifferent
C.negative D.ambiguous
23、 A man sits on the couch, his dog asleep in the next room. He thinks, "I should take Daisy for a walk." and suddenly his dog comes bounding in the room. leash (牵狗皮带) in mouth.
A cat curls up next to the phone just before a family member calls, but never when anyone else is about to call.
There are so many stories of pets seeming to know more than their natural senses would allow that it has been the subject of study and debate for years. Are their natural senses even greater than we ever imagined? Or do they have a sixth sense?
Biologist Rupert Sheldrake believes that animals have an ability of telepathy (心灵感应). Pets whom we feel especially close to seem to understand our needs. read our moods. and even communicate with us on a level that goes beyond words or body language.
Physician and author Dr. Larry Dossey says there is a connection between all species, which is not limited by locality. He refers to it as a "nonlocal mind". Consciousness is no restricted to the brain or the body, or time or place. Therefore. people and animals can have an effect on each other, even when miles apart.
Traditional scientists remain sceptical about the ability of telepathy among people-let alone pets. They say much of the phenomenon can be explained in other ways, through pets' acute senses of hearing and smell, reading human body language, or noting other cues.
Dogs and cats live mostly in a scent (气味) and sound world. It may be that when an owner thinks about taking her dog for a walk, this happy thought causes a change in her body chemistry, which the dog can smell and associate with walks.
A simpler explanation is that owners notice their pets' mysterious behaviors only when related events happen by coincidence. The cat may curl up by the phone now and then, but the owner doesn't notice. If the cat happens to sit by the phone when "dad" calls. the owner is more likely to take note.
There is no doubt that our pets live on a sensory level that's different from our own. Though we share the same five known senses, dogs and cats take in their world mostly through scent and sound. We take in our world mostly through sight. So it's not surprising that our pets are able to do things that we can't imagine could be possible.
【1】The underlined part "nonlocal mind" in Paragraph 5 indicates that pets and their owners can communicate thoughts _________.
A．wherever they are
B．wherever they like
C．only when they stay together
D．even when they are separated
【2】How does a dog probably know its owner will take it for a walk?
A．By coincidence
B．Through body language.
C．Through sense of smell
D．Through sense of hearing.
【3】What is the author's explanation for pets' unusual ability?
A．Their five natural senses are greater than ours.
B．Their sensory system works differently from ours.
C．They can understand our mind without words.
D．They can communicate without the five senses.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Why Does Your Pet Have a Sixth Sense?
B．Your Pet Can Sense What Is in Your Mind
C．Can You Communicate with Your Pet Mentally?
D．Pets Need Mind-to-mind Communication with Us
24、We spend around one third of our lives in bed, and the body does a lot of its repair work as we sleep, so enough good quality sleep is very important to our health. It doesn't stop there, though—some sleep positions are healthier than others. So which sleep position is the healthiest?
Sleeping on your back is the healthiest sleep position, Health benefits include avoiding back and neck pain. Because the head is raised above the stomach when you sleep on your back, this position is best for people who suffer from nighttime acid reflux (胃酸逆流) as well. Around 80% of heartburn sufferers have problems during the night, so sleeping on their back could help a lot of people to enjoy a good night's sleep. If the sleep position alone is not enough to alleviate the condition, try raising the head of the bed by up to 4 inches by placing blocks under it.
When you sleep on your back, your face is in a natural position. This means less wrinkles (皱纹).
If you really can't face sleeping on your back, another healthy sleep position is the side sleep. It's almost as good as the back position, and it's better for people who snore (打鼾) and their partners. Whichever sleep position you choose, use a pillow that supports the head and the neck without raising the head unnaturally, as this can bring neck pain.
