21、Sixty-four-year-old Pierre Deom has spent his entire life close to the woods and fields that he loves. Twice a year, his magazine, La Hulotte, focuses on an animal or plant native to the French countryside.
The 100th edition was published in November. The magazine counts more than 150,000 subscribers in many countries, and is doing very well financially. Deom says it all began in January 1972, when he was teaching science in a one-room schoolhouse here. “It upset me how the forests and swamps were beginning to be ruined. The word ‘ecology’ didn’t really exist yet. Some friends and I wanted to call attention to the issue. So we said, let’s educate the kids. They’re ready to hear our message.” So he took a step into the unknown, planning to publish his nature journal.
Deom does all the research and writing and the illustrations of the magazine by hand. He combines science and humor in his writing and drawing to describe the daily life and sufferings of his creatures. Animals you might overlook or consider dull are magically and vividly brought to life in La Hulotte. “I try to write about animals and plants that are easy to find because I want kids to put on boots, take a magnifying glass, go to the woods and fields to observe and be amazed by what they find,” Deom says.
And it seems to work. Biologist Jerome Fournier began subscribing to La Hulotte when he was just eight years old. “For me it was the first contact with nature when I was a child. And maybe it’s the beginning for my life of scientist. I think so.”
What’s amazing is its approach. The magazine has realistic drawings and also a little cast of cartoon creatures who comment on things and give a different views. You can read it as an adult or a child; it can be understood on two different levels. So scientists, regular people and children all get something out of it. “It’s extraordinary.” Fournier says, who works at the Museum of Natural History in Paris, where he says La Hulotte has a crazy following.
【1】What does the underlined word “subscribers” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Readers
B．Editors
C．Sellers
D．Collectors
【2】What’s the purpose of creating the magazine?
A．To make a lot of money.
B．To finish the task of teaching.

D．To promote people’s awareness of ecology.
【3】Which words can best describe the magazine La Hulotte?
A．Scientific and interesting.
B．Magical and dull.
C．Vivid and unreal.
D．Hard to understand.
【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．The magazine is a cartoon one.
B．Adults find the magazine too easy.
C．Many scientists are the fans of the magazine.
D．The magazine is not fit for regular people to read.
22、When you really love a book, or have just scored a new one that you’re dying to read, it can be exciting to pick up a smooth, shiny hardcover copy that creaks a little bit when you open it. But those hardcover books can be heavy, and new ones aren’t cheap, either. Sometimes, you’d just rather have a portable paperback—but if it’s a new book you’re after, you might have to wait a full year or so to get it in paperback form. Why are books released as hardcovers first?
Not so long ago, hardcover books were the only type of books. Before the appearance of mass production, print runs were limited, and books were hard-bound and expensive. Around the 1930s, that changed with the production of mass-produced paperback books, which consisted with a huge surge in reading as a leisure activity around World War II. Paperback books were more affordable and cheaper to produce, which still holds true today.
Despite the seeming advantages of paperbacks, there are several reasons why the hardcover has persisted. Because of its history, it conveys a bit more legitimacy (正统性) in the book world than the paperback does. “The hardback is a mark of quality…it shows booksellers and reviewers that this is a book worth paying attention to,” Philip Jones, editor at The Bookseller, explains to The Guardian.
But the major reason why books come out as hardcovers is that people buy them, despite their higher cost. The Economist compares it to movies being released in theaters several months before they arrive on DVD. “Just as film fans like to see films on the big screen, collectors enjoy the hardback’s superior quality,” according to The Economist. And because they’re profitable, publishers can gain more from hardcovers, which “will often sell at twice the price of their paperback equivalent but do not cost twice as much to produce,” Jones explains.
【1】What can we learn about hardcover books from Paragraph 1?
A．They are exciting.
B．They are heavy but not expensive.
C．They take a long time to come out.
D．They appeal to real book-lovers.
【2】What does the underlined word “surge” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Dramatic drop.
B．Sharp increase.
C．Strong blow.
D．Swift success.
【3】Why are hardcover books still printed today?
A．They are costly and precious.
B．They are worth buying.
C．They show readers’ tastes.
D．They sell better than paperbacks.
【4】What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To introduce hardcover books.
B．To present a new social finding.
C．To explain a confusing phenomenon.
D．To encourage people to read books.
23、Much of today’s science of physics is based on Newton’s discovery of the three laws of motion and his theory of gravity ( 地球引力). Newton said, “If I saw further than other men, it was because I stood on the shoulders of giants.” One was the great Italian scientist, Galileo. Another was the Polish scientist Nicholas Copernicus, who had begun a scientific revolution. It led to a completely new understanding of how the universe worked. Galileo continued and expanded the work of Copernicus. Newton built on the ideas of these two scientists and others. He found and proved the answers for which they searched.
Issac Newton was born in Woolsthorpe, England, on December 25th, 1642. He was born early and no one expected him to survive. He lived until he was 84. His father died before he was born. His mother married again. He lived with his grandma on the family farm.
As a boy, he liked to make things. He also decided to find a different way to measure the speed of the wind. On a windy day, he measured how far he could jump with the wind at his back. Then he measured how far he could jump with the wind in his face. From the difference between the two jumps, he made his own measure of the strength of the wind. Strangely, Newton became a much better student after a boy kicked him in the stomach. The boy was one of the best of the students in the school. Newton decided to get even with him by getting higher marks than the boy kicking him. Newton became the top student at the school very soon.
【1】As a boy, what was Newton like?
A. He was too weak to survive.
B. He was determined to study math.
C. He liked to find out new ways to solve problems.
D. He tended to stud y math on the family farm.
【2】We can know from the text that the theories of Newton, Galileo, and Copernicus focus on ____.
A. how the universe works B. the three laws of motion
C. a scientific revolution D. the theory of gravity
【3】Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. One of the history’s greatest scientists.
B. Issac Newton---History’s greatest scientist.
C. One of the world’s greatest scientists, Issac Newton.
D. Issac Newton and his laws.
24、 Although vaccines are required for entry into school in most places in the United States, the government does allow for exceptions, like religious reasons.
In the last few years, the rates of vaccine-preventable illness have been on the rise. In most cases, these outbreaks began with children who were unvaccinated. To deal with this threat, some schools in New York have been refusing to allow unvaccinated children to attend school. Several parents thought this was unfair and filed lawsuits. Just recently, though, a court ruled in favor of the city schools.
The court made the right decision. Vaccine policy depends not only on the added protection that vaccines provide for those who get shots, but also on the decreased likelihood that anyone will come into contact with the disease. This is known as community immunity. It refers to the fact that when enough people are immunized, then there really can’t be an outbreak. And if there can’t be an outbreak, then everyone is protected.
This is important, because there are people who cannot be given immunizations for various reasons. For example, small babies can’t be given all vaccines.
In 1995, the chicken pox vaccine was introduced in the United States. Over time, more and more children received it. In 2011, a study looked at how the program affected the number of children who died from the disease.
The first thing noted in the paper was that death from chicken pox went down considerably after the vaccine was introduced. From 2001 through 2007, the rates of death remained much lower, with just a few children dying from chicken pox nationally each year.
What’s more from 2004 through 2007, not one child less than 1 year of age died in the United States from chicken pox. This is important, because we cannot give the chicken pox vaccine to babies. In other words, all those babies were saved not because we vaccinated them against this illness, but because older children were.
Therefore, people who refuse to vaccinate their children aren’t just putting themselves at risk — they’re putting everyone else in danger, too.
【1】Whose interest did the judges take into consideration?
A．Students’.
B．School leaders’.
C．Several parents’.
D．Unvaccinated kids’.
【2】What is needed to prevent disease outbreaks through “community immunity”?
A．Requiring everyone to be immune.
B．Vaccinating babies as early as possible.
C．Making sure enough people get vaccinated.
D．Separating unvaccinated people from vaccinated.
【3】What does the study about the chicken pox vaccine show?
A．The vaccine is safe for every kid.
B．No deaths have been seen since 2004.
C．The vaccine has lowered the death rate.
D．The vaccine is more effective among babies.
【4】Which of the following would the author agree with?
A．No vaccine, no risk.
B．No vaccine, no school.
C．Vaccination is a personal choice.
D．Vaccine-preventable illness is dropping.
25、Once just a science fiction idea, VR (Virtual Reality) has now become more accessible than ever.

But surprisingly, it isn’t _______ technology that has made VR so popular. “VR has been around for many years, but it will stick this time because there’s enough computer power and the price will just keep _______,” Todd Richmond, a VR group member with the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers in the US, told USA Today.
VR is expected to change various different fields. _______, VR could be used to treat patients with acrophobia (恐高症) by making them think they were standing on top of a high building, or train pilots and miners _______ they had to actually risk their lives in highly dangerous working environments.
“If you have perfect virtual reality, ________ you’ll be able to simulate everything that a human can imagine, it’s ________ to predict where you go from there,” Palmer Luckey, the inventor of the Oculus VR goggles, told NPR.
But the technology is still ________ perfect. Users report feeling motion sickness, headaches and other________while wearing VR glass. Also, ________ more and more tools are flooding the market, the software that runs VR games and simulators has yet to catch up with all the new advancements.
