23、 To deal with a changing world, we have to change as well. Transforming land into farms removes forests and worsens climate change. But we need to grow more food to support a growing global population. What can we do?
Scientists have discovered that plants grow best under a certain type of light, which can be provided by red and blue LEDs. The combination of these lights at the right level makes a space look pink. Since “pinkhouses” supply their own light, they don’t need to have fragile glass walls and ceilings. And they can be set up anywhere, including places that don’t get the amount of light greenhouses need.
Since pinkhouses can pack food in huge columns, one of these farms doesn’t need a lot of land. Farmers can set up pinkhouses in cities. They completely control temperature and light, which can help some plants grow twice as well in pinkhouses as they do in traditional farming. Pinkhouses can allow for many more harvests per year since farming doesn’t have to stop in the winter.
Even though pinkhouses are a great way to grow crops, lighting and heating an indoor space is very expensive. It doesn’t make sense to grow foods that take up a lot of space or that we need to grow lots of, like wheat, rice, and corn, in a pinkhouse. We will still need to grow those crops in fields. We can start farming smarter.
Farmers will use satellite imagery to figure out exactly where to plant each crop. Think of a mixture of just the fight crops, rather than a rectangle of one type of plant. Sensors in the fields will measure the soil’s water level:temperature, and chemical content. They will even be able to detect insects and send out notifications to a smartphone app. Irrigation systems will be tied to weather forecasting programs, allowing very precise watering and care, all calculated to get the best plant growth and yield.
【1】From the text, we know that the pinkhouse________.
A.covers lots of space B.needs enough sunlight
C.is made of glass or plastic D.can make plants grow larger
【2】What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 4?
A.Summarize the previous paragraphs. B.Emphasize the advantage of pinkhouses.
C.Introduce a new topic of the discussion. D.Add some background information.
【3】What is the result of the smart farming?
A.Farmers will have a better harvest. B.Farmers can grow different plants.
C.Farmers needn’t care about the weather. D.Plants can protect themselves against insects.
【4】What’s the best title for the text?
A.Building Pinkhouses B.Feeding the Future
C.Changing the World D.Getting Outdoor Farming Smart
24、 We all go through times when we feel we are not good enough. We might feel that way at work or in school or even as a parent. Here are some things to remember when you feel like that.
【1】 When I started my Ph.D. program, I felt like the dumbest person in every class. I couldn’t believe how many smart people were there. I didn’t know if I could measure up to their intelligence or compete in the same league with them. Years later, I found out that almost everyone felt this way, too.
You are unique and have special talents. If you can barely make Hamburger Helper, don’t compare yourself to your sister who is a chef(厨师). I’m sure you can do many things that she can’t. 【2】 You are you. You are not your sister.
You need to stop chasing perfection. It doesn’t exist. What’s perfect to me is not perfect to you. So if you think that there is some objective measurement of perfection and that the rest of the world is judging you against, then you are wrong. 【3】
【4】 Our sense of self-worth is based in our thoughts. We have been programmed for many years with thoughts about ourselves. Messages come from our parents, our peers, teachers, the media and our own labels. But guess what? They are only thoughts. Just because you think these thoughts, it doesn’t make them true. 【5】
A. You need to change your thought patterns.
B. So focus on your own passions and talents.
C. You have the power to change your future.
D. You are not the only one who feels this way.
E. If you love yourself for who you are, other people will notice.
F. One of my favorite sayings is, "Don’t believe a negative thought you think!"
G. Most people are too worried about their own lack of perfection to judge you.

But, _________, I needed him less. I got married and moved away. My husband had most of the knowledge I _________ about the household chores (家务杂活).

I suddenly realised that maybe it’s not that there’s nothing left to say. Maybe it’s just that I’ve spent my life asking him the __________ questions.
A few weeks later, after moving back, I called my father. We __________ talking about everything. To anyone else, it would sound like a normal __________ between a dad and his daughter. But to me, it was a__________ beginning. I __________ the first part of my life needing to talk to my dad. Now I talk to him because I__________ to.

26、阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之成为一个完整的故事。
“You should get a dog.” my therapist (治疗专家) said. A dog? I couldn’t even look after myself. I took a deep breath and carefully considered the idea of welcoming a canine (犬科的) friend into my life. This seemed like too easy a solution to the fact that I couldn't leave the house without bursting into tears.
Adopting an animal during the height of the pandemic was far from easy. When I found Simba, his adoption profile made him out as the perfect puppy. I filed out the paperwork and had a few weeks to prepare for his arrival.
When he came home, it became increasingly obvious that Simba didn’t understand “no”, “stop it’ or “don’t do that”. He was the worst-behaved dog I’d ever seen. I was beginning to doubt my therapist’s advice.
At home, I found him sitting on my bed comfortably. Jumping from the sofa to the tea table was his favorite game every day. He fought tooth and nail to get a bite of my meals and ate anything that fell on the floor. What was worse,dog waste and urine were seen everywhere, which annoyed me most. But his curiosity and vigor really impressed me. Training him to behave well kept me busier than I’d ever expected.
I decided to start taking him for walks. I could barely leave the house before, but my heart couldn’t say no to Simba. Simba showed me what bravery looked like. He didn’t stop to consider every possible outcome of a situation. He simply went for it. If there was a dog at a park,he would run toward it. He always leapt forward and explored the unknown by sniffing here and there unless I called him. He loved adventure. I found myself mirroring his behavior after a while,jumping out of bed without a second thought. I began to find the motivation to get out of bed in the morning.
