21、Jerral Hancock was badly injured in Irag. He was paralyzed (瘫痪的) from the chest down and lost his left arm. When he returned home from war, Jerral struggled with post-traumatic stress disorder (创伤后应激障碍), a brain injury, and limited use of his right arm. His mother and stepfather lived across the street from him and stepped up to help. His wife had left him and their two small children.
“Life has to go on,” Jerral said.
Jamie and her students heard about his situation. The kids had a great idea: They would raise money to build a disabled-friendly house. With their teacher’s help, the students launched Operation All the Way Home, or OAWH the next month. To raise money, they ran fund raisers, hosted bake sales, and conducted yard sales. As word spread about OAWH, donations poured in from other military veterans (老兵) and the public.
Later, OAWH got a surprise call from actor Gary Sinise, who is well known for his generosity, offering to donate $60,000.
Jerral’s new home has four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and automatic (自动的) doors, lights that he can control with an iPad. It was large enough for Jerral and his family.
The students opened the finished house in a 300-person ceremony on May 29, Jerral’s 29th birthday. Jerral wheeled pasta long line of OAWH student members welcoming him to his new house.
“I was so happy that we met our goal,” said Kimberly Castano, 19, a former OAWH member, “but more excited that Jerral could move in.”
On the eighth anniversary of his injuries, Jerral was finally home. “I am honored that so many people came together to make it possible,” he said.

22、Pandas have always been one of the cutest creatures of the animal kingdom, but did you know that there are actually two types of pandas?
These animals are divided into Sichuan and Qinling subspecies (亚种群). The Qinling giant panda, which lives in Shaanxi and Gansu provinces, has a round head and short mouth, which makes it look like a cat. The Sichuan giant panda, which lives in Sichuan province, is more bear-like and has a bigger and more oval (椭圆形的) head, according to a study published in a recent issue of the Chinese Science Bulletin.
The study, conducted by Zhejiang University, the BGI Life Science Research Institution and the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda, showed the subspecies’ differences and evolutionary (进化的) characteristics, including the first report on the genome (基因组) of the Qinling subspecies.
The two subspecies evolved around 10,000 to 12,000 years ago, which means they haven’t contacted one another for at least 10,000 years. Besides their different physical features, the Sichuan subspecies is better adapted to survive in the wild due to its history of greater genetic variation. The Qinling subspecies never migrated (迁徙) across the Yellow River Basin, so it has had no major changes in genetic variation.
The key factors affecting the long-term survival of a species are its ability to reproduce and develop immunity (免疫力) against disease. When it comes to making babies, the Sichuan subspecies is more reproductive than the Qinling subspecies, said Fang Shengguo, a professor at Zhejiang University’s College of Life Sciences.
Pandas were once meat eaters but later turned to a bamboo diet. In response to the huge changes in their eating habits, they evolved relatively small internal organs to slow down their metabolism (新陈代谢). Changes in giant panda genes are mainly related to their reproductive system, which may be responsible for their reduced reproduction, according to the study.
Accurate genetic management is important in artificial breeding (繁殖) and conservation, Fang pointed out. He also suggested gene exchanges between small populations of pandas within the same subspecies should be sped up, which could help reduce inbreeding (近亲交配) and genetic decline. “Unless the species is in danger, interbreeding between the two subspecies should be avoided as much as possible. Otherwise, the reproduction of the offspring (后代) may be reduced, which would be very bad for the Sichuan subspecies population,” said Fang, who also noted the importance of restoring pandas habitats.
【1】What do we know about pandas?
A．The Sichuan subspecies tends to live longer.
B．They mainly live in two provinces in China.
C．The Qinling subspecies is less able to reproduce.
D．The two subspecies share similar facial features.
【2】According to the study, what could be the reason for pandas’ reduced reproduction?
A．The frequent migration in the wild.
B．The shortage of bamboo for them to eat.
C．The decreased immunity against disease.
D．The changes in genes related to reproduction.
【3】What does Fang Shengguo think is a better solution to pandas inbreeding?
A．Accurate genetic management.
B．The restoration of pandas’ habitats.
C．Interbreeding between the two subspecies.
D．Gene exchanges within the same subspecies.
【4】What’s the main purpose of the article?
A．To report on new research about pandas.
B．To inform people of how pandas evolved.
C．To compare different subspecies of pandas.
D．To call on people to protect the endangered species.
23、Just as it does on Earth, it snows on Mars. However, scientists have found that Martian snow is “dustier” than it is on Earth, which could mean it’s warmer and more likely to melt into water, a new study suggests.
“There is a chance that this dusty and dark ice might melt a few centimeters down,” said the study’s lead author, Aditya Khuller, in a statement.
In June, a separate study suggested that there maybe more water on the Red Planet than previously thought, including “dozens” of lakes less than a mile beneath the surface of the Red Planet.
The scientists believe that the ice that was dug up by the Phoenix lander in 2008 (and subsequent falling snow) occurred from a snowfall sometime over the past million years.
“It is widely believed that Mars has experienced multiple ice ages throughout its history, and it looks like the ice being exposed throughout the mid-latitudes of Mars is a relic of this ancient dusty snowfall,” Khuller added.
If researchers are able to better learn about the prospects of water on Mars, then they may be able to better learn about its prospects for once hosting life.
“Characterizing these properties can significantly improve models of ice stability on Mars and inform us about its age and origin,” the researchers wrote in the study.
The researchers say that more work is required to determine if the ice actually melts into water.
Kuller added, “We are working on developing improved computer simulations of Martian ice to study how it evolves over time, and whether it might melt to form liquid water. The results from this study will be integral to our work because knowing how dark the ice is directly influence how warm it gets.”
Although scientists confirmed in 2018 that Mars still has lakes filled with liquid water, it has been somewhat difficult to find.
【1】Why does the ice on Mars melt easier than that on Earth?
A．Because Mars’ ice is dustier and darker.
B．Because it snows more often on Mars.
C．Because Mars’ ice is exposed to the sun for long.
D．Because the temperature is not stable on Mars.
【2】What might be the purpose for scientists’ study on Mars’ snow?
A．To help reduce ice’s meiting on Mars.
B．To better learn if Mars is potentially capable of hosting life.
C．To accelerate its turning into water.
D．To research how much water there is on Mars.
【3】What does the underlined word “integral” in the Paragraph 9 mean?
A．Impossible.
B．Unbelievable.
C．Essential.
D．Interesting.
【4】What can be inferred from the passage?
A．It’s easy to find lakes with liquid water on Mars.
B．The Phoenix lander was the first explorer to land on Mars.
C．It’s impossible to learn the origin of Mars’ ice.
D．Scientists are striving for improving ice stability on Mars.
24、Time and how we experience it have always puzzled us. Physicists have created fascinating theories, but their time is measured by a pendulum (钟摆) and is not psychological time, which leaps with little regard to the clock or calendar. As someone who understood the distinction observed, “When you sit with a nice girl for two hours it seems like a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove, a minute seems like two hours.”
Psychologists have long noticed that larger units of time, such as months and years, fly on swifter wings as we age. They also note that the more time is structured with schedules and appointments, the more rapidly it seems to pass. For example, a day at the office flies compared with a day at the beach.
Expectation and familiarity also make time seem to flow more rapidly. Almost all of us have had the experience of driving somewhere we’ve never been before. Surrounded by unfamiliar scenery, with no real idea of when we’ll arrive, we experience the trip as if lasting a long time. But the return trip, although exactly as long, seems to take far less time. The novelty of the outward journey has become routine.
When days become as identical as beads (小珠子)on a string, they mix together, and even months become a single day. To counter this, try to find ways to interrupt the structure of your day-to stop time, so to speak.
Learning something new is one of the ways to slow the passage of time. One of the reasons the days of our youth seems so full and long is that these are the days of learning and discovery. For many of us, learning ends when we leave school, but this doesn’t have to be.
【1】What is the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 is used to show?
A．Physical theory has nothing to do with the true sense of time.
B．Physical time is different from psychological time.
C．Time should not be measured by a pendulum.
D．Psychological time is quite puzzling.
【2】Which of the following will make you feel time flies faster?
A．A day spent exploring something unknown.
B．Staying with a person who you dislike.
C．A day packed with appointments to handle.
D．Driving to a new place for the first time.
【3】What does “novelty” in Paragraph 3 probably means?
A．Amusement.
B．Excitement.
C．Imagination.
D．Unfamiliarity.
【4】What is the purpose of the passage?
A．To explain why time flies and how to slow it down psychologically.
B．To describe how we experience time psychologically.
C．To show the different ideas of physicists and psychologists on time.
D．To give various explanations about time.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为80左右。
Every morning, I will go to school with lunch bags that contained a sandwich, fruit, and dessert.
Then, one day, much to my surprise, there was no dessert in my lunch! What could have happened to it? Did Mom forget to make or buy it? Oh, well, I thought. It's only one time, so it's no big deal. But, for the next few days, my lunch contained no dessert! So one day, after school, as soon as I got home, I asked," Mom! Why haven't you been putting a dessert in my school lunches?" Mom answered, "Why, Eugene. I have been including a dessert in your lunch. If you're not getting them, then who is?"
So then we thought of my activities, and what I did with my lunch each day. As soon as I arrived at school I always put my lunch in the classroom closet（储物间）along with all of the other lunches. And that brought us to Carl---the bad boy of the third-grade classroom. The teacher didn't like him in class and would send him to the closet, where he would spend most of each day.
Carl lived in a group faster home（集体寄养之家）.He was loud and somewhat of a thief; he would take just about anything that wasn't fastened down, so he wasn't welcome at school. Mom and I concluded that with nothing else to do Carl was probably going through the lunches and eating what he liked.
