21、 The quiz tries to test non-native English speaker's vocabulary size. New results show the largest proportion of participants know 4,500 words (in the range from 4,250 to 4,749), with the median vocabulary size of 7,826* under the influence of the following factors.
Factors
Academic performance: In class, how about your homework, study, exam, logic, etc.?
Classroom participation: In class, how much did you participate, talking and asking questions? Natural ability: In class, how much do you feel about learning English? Is it easy or difficult? Outside of class: How much do you use English in real life, learning things outside of class? Being abroad: Did you travel to English-speaking countries? How much time did you spend?
Findings
Academic performance helps, up to doubling your vocabulary size. Classroom participation matters too, giving you up to a 50% increase in vocabulary. Outside of class is the biggest difference. Students who do lots of things in English outside of class have more than twice the vocabulary of those who don't. Being abroad brings the average student from around 7,000 to 10,000 words.
Be aware that the results above are suggestive only. More research will tell.
【1】What is the vocabulary size of most participants in the quiz?
A.4,500.
B.4,250.
C.4,749
D.7,826

22、The tallest building in the United States, the One World Trade Center, opened on November 3, 2014 in New York. The building is 1,776 feet tall, making it the 3rd tallest building in the world. It has 104 floors. The building stands in the area where the twin towers of the World Trade Center once stood. On September 11, 2001, a group of terrorists destroyed these twin towers and killed nearly 3,000 people. It took 8 years to build the new One World Trade Center. Does the height of the building in feet reminds you of something in history? The number is the year when the United States declared(宣布) its independence(独立) from Great Britain.
One problem with such a tall building is how to clean the windows. Well, a platform(平台) hangs from ropes, and workers on the platform clean windows. On November 12, while two men were busy cleaning windows, a rope of the platform broke near the 68th floor. The two men were saved by cutting a hole in the glass window.
The two tallest buildings in the world are the BurjKhalifa in Dubai, UAE and the Makkah Royal Clock Tower in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.
【1】When did the One World Trade Center open?
A. September 11, 2001. B. September 11, 2011.
C. November 3, 2006. D. November 3, 2014.
【2】Who destroyed the twin towers of the World Trade Center?
A. A group of young men. B. A group of terrorists.
C. A group of workers. D. A group of soldiers.
【3】“The number” in the first paragraph refers to________.
A. 8 B. 104 C. 1,776 D. 3,000
【4】How were the workers on the platform saved when a rope broke?
A. By calling for help.
B. By using a new rope.
C. By jumping off the platform.
D. By cutting a hole in the glass window.
23、 The Curiosity Detector was never fully sterilized before it landed on Mar. And there's been debate whether the rover drill might pollute certain subsurface areas thought to potentially give birth to life. But it turns out the detector may not need to drive somewhere to pollute that spot with Earth's micro-livings. Because if there are any tiny earth livings on the detector, the strong winds on Mars might be able to spread them around the Red Planet instead.
“Wind storms are very common on Mars. So you have one point of pollution, and given the proper conditions, you could spread whatever you were carrying there to distant places." Said Armando Azua-Bustos, a research scientist at the Center for Astrobiology at the Superior Council of Scientific Research in Spain.
Azua-Bustos is now more certain that such spread might be possible because of an experiment his team carried out in Chile's Atacama Desert-the conditions of which are greatly similar to the Mars'. There, his team placed containers along two paths cutting from the coast into the driest parts of the Atacama. One path was 30 miles long; the other 40 miles long. They waited for winds to deliver coastal dust to the containers. Then they grew whatever landed.
On both paths, they found amounts of bacteria species, which suggests that micro-livings are indeed able to fly over the driest and most sun-shined desert on Earth in just a few hours—and arrive unharmed. The details are in the journal Scientific Reports.
The researchers say wind could therefore be a way to easily pollute another planet with Earth micro-livings if spacecraft aren't sterilized—or a way for Martian life in once-fertile areas to give birth to others by lying on dust in the wind.
【1】Why is there debate over the Curiosity Rover?
A.Because it can't drive anywhere by itself without wind.
B.Because its drill may damage the surface of Mars.
C.Because it has been polluted before it landed on Mars.
D.Because it may destroy the potential environment of life on Mars with Earth's micro-livings.
【2】How did Azua-Bustos' team find supportive evidence for his opinion?
A.They studied the data of wind storms about Mars.
B.They did an experiment under the similar conditions of Mars.
C.They found a large quantity of bacteria on Mars.
D.They used the details in the journal Scientific Reports.
【3】According to Azua-Bustos, Earth's micro-livings on Mars may be spread mainly by________.
A.the detector's drill
B.two paths
C.strong wind
D.driving around
【4】Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A.The conditions on Mars are similar to those on Earth.
B.The strong wind on Mars can pollute the micro-livings in the subsurface area.
C.All spacecrafts must be sterilized before they are launched into space.
D.Chile's Atacana Desert is one of the driest and most sun-shined desert on Earth.
24、Tromso:the Arctic's most cosmopolitan(国际的)city
Tromso is a cosmopolitan place defined by pubs, a lively music scene and an events calendar that includes everything from traditional native festivals to the Arctic's largest pride celebration.
Mild temperatures and a 2-month-long night
Tromso, about 70, 000 permanent residents, has relatively mild temperatures, which might help explain Tromso’s current popularity as an Arctic destination. Like other places in the Arctic, Tromso experiences polar night, during which the sun never rises above the horizon. Polar night does have several hours of dark during the“daytime”, even on the shortest day of the year.
A gateway to the Arctic
Some people come here to cross"the Arctic"off their life list. For domestic tourists as well as international visitors, the attractions include the chance to go skiing in the mountains right outside the city. If you aren't a ski-jumping fan, the city also has some of the world's northernmost professional sports activities for you to take part in, including a soccer team that plays in Norway's top league. Snowshoeing, dogsledding and winter hiking are also on the agenda.
One of Europe's coolest music destinations
There are regular traditional music concerts in the Tromso Cathedral. The weekend-long Insomnia Festival takes place here each October and the DJ Music Festival each November. Though it began as(and remains) an electronic music festival, other genres (流派)from Norway and Europe are also represented.
Wintertime events and festivals
After the sun returns in January, Tromso hosts Sami Week to celebrate the region's native people. Films, reindeer racing and other cultural events are part of the activities. The Arctic Pride takes place each November in Tromso, calling itself the Northernmost Pride Festival in the world. It features lectures, shows, a parade, parties and concerts.
