21、 When night falls in the Netherlands, lights dance across a farm and create a dreamy landscape. Here, in a field inspired by beauty and infused with photobiology(光生物学), art intersects with agriculture. Yet, there is more than what meets the eye; these lights also provide higher productivity and a more sustainable crop.
This magical field is part of a project called GROW and was created by Dutch designer Daan Roosegaarde, who lived in the city and had a desire to connect people to the source of their food in an inspiring way. “How can we make the farmer the hero? We barely know where our food comes from,” Roosegaarde said.
His vision was to combine science and art, and in so doing, create a better world. Longing to offer the world light in dark times, he set to work in a 5-acre field of leeks(韭葱). He tapped into his own design concept alongside artists, a team of designers and experts at the Wageningen University.
Using the science of photobiology, the group discovered that certain mixes of red, blue and ultraviolet lights promote plant growth。The team then positioned LEDs in different places across the field. These lights move up and down in order to ensure the light is evenly distributed across the area。And when these lights move at night, they seem to dance, creating a poetic dreamscape. “It's very futuristic and also very romantic, in a way,” Roosegaarde said.
Aside from being beautiful and promoting growth, the team observed that due to these lights, they needed to use 50 percent fewer pesticides(杀虫剂) on the crop. This is because this specific recipe of lights activated the defense system of the plants. And as it works on all crops, not just leeks, Roosegaarde foresees a way to reduce the use of pesticides on many other plants.
Roosegaarde's project will soon be touring 40 countries, sending its dancing lights across the world.
【1】What do Daan Roosegaarde's words in paragraph 2 suggest?
A．People living in cities tend to waste food.
B．Farmers are seen as heroes by the public.
C．It's important to know the source of food.
D．Tracking where food comes from is easy.
【2】What did Daan Roosegaarde do for his project?
A．He invented low-cost pesticides.
B．He came up with the design concept.
C．He bought a 50-acre field of leeks.
D．He learned dancing skills in a college.
【3】Why are fewer pesticides needed on the crop with the lights alongside?
A．The lights kill off most of the pests on it.
B．The lights make it more resistant to pests.
C．The lights are too bright for pests to tolerate.
D．The lights are equipped with a defense system.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A．Plants Are Beautiful in the Light
B．Plants Are Great Dancers at Night
C．Art and Science Meet in the Fields
D．Dancing Lights Become Widespread
22、 It is quite natural for all of us to want to preserve and protect the foods we purchase. With that in mind, we often think that the best way to do that is by putting them in our refrigerators. However, that is not always the case.
Bread
Nothing dries out bread faster than your refrigerator. In the event that you have made sandwiches with the bread, then you can place them in the fridge. The cold temperature will make the bread tough and chewy.
Tomato
We all love tomatoes for their taste. But putting them in the refrigerator will cause them to lose all of their flavor （ 口味）. Plus, the cold air in the cooler stops the ripening process as well. And as we all know; ripening is what gives every tomato more taste and flavor. For best results, keep tomatoes out, and inside a basket or a bowl on your counter.
Salad
Oil or vinegar-based salad can be stored for a long period of time without refrigeration. Moreover, refrigeration of salad dressings brings bad smell to them. Keep in mind that some salads that are mayo （蛋黄酱） or yogurt based should be refrigerated in order to keep them fine. So if you have some salads that have been already dressed, you can keep them away from your fridge without any hesitation.
Egg
It is a long debate whether you should keep eggs inside your refrigerator or not. One study suggests that keeping eggs whether in a refrigerator or not does not change their normal qualities, so it can be said that if you keep eggs at room temperature, there should not be any problem. There is another study that shows that keeping eggs inside the refrigerators has a bad effect on the natural taste and flavor of eggs, so it is wise to keep eggs outside of your fridge.
【1】Which of the following lose（s） water quickest in the cooler?
A.Bread. B.Tomatoes.
C.Salad. D.Eggs.
【2】What should we do with tomatoes to get the best taste?
A.Put them in the cooler. B.Cook them at once.
C.Make them ripen faster. D.Leave them in the shade.
【3】What will go bad easily without refrigeration?
A.Dressed salad. B.Mayo and yogurt.
C.Oil and vinegar. D.Salad dressings.
【4】What do we know about the idea of keeping eggs in the fridge?
A.It's interesting. B.It's brilliant.
C.It's ridiculous. D.It's controversial.
23、If you put a buzzard（秃鹰） in a pen(围栏) six to eight feet square and entirely open at the top, the bird, in spite of its ability to fly, will be a prisoner. The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a run of ten to twelve feet. Without space to run, it will not even attempt to fly, but remain a prisoner for life in a small prison with no top.
The ordinary bat that flies around at night, a remarkably nimble creature in the air, cannot take off from a level place. If it is placed on the floor or flat ground, all it can do is to shuffle about helplessly and, no doubt, painfully, until it reaches some slight height from which it can throw itself into the air. Then, at once, it takes off like a flash.
A bumblebee (大黄蜂), if dropped into an open tumbler(平底玻璃杯), will be there until it dies, unless it is taken out. It never sees the means of escape at the top, but insists on trying to find some way out through the sides near the bottom. It will seek a way where none exists until it completely destroys itself.
In many ways, there are lots of people like the buzzard, the bat and the bumblebee. They are struggling about with all their problems and frustrations, not realizing that the answer is right there above them.
【1】Why does a buzzard choose to stay in a pen?
A. Because it is safe to live there.
B. Because it gets used to living there.
C. Because it cannot take off within an limited area.
D. Because it lost its ability to fly.
【2】 The underlined word in the second paragraph probably means “ .”
A. to run slowly B. to move slowly
C. to pace slowly D. to fly slowly
【3】A bumblebee will completely destroy itself for .
A. it does not look for a way out above
B. it is dropped into an open cage
C. it does not try to find a way to escape
D. it hurts itself while flying
【4】 In which way are many people similar to a buzzard, an ordinary bat and a bumblebee?
A. They are overcoming all their problems and frustrations.
B. They are all content with the things as they are.
C. They choose to give in to problems and frustrations.
D. They do not seek new ways to deal with difficulties.
