21、Last night, on my way home I stopped because of being attracted by some hamburgers at a fast food restaurant. On my way in, a homeless man approached me and asked, “Do you have any bottles lying around?” I knew he would recycle them for a few cents, but I didn’t have any, so I said no. And again he asked, “Can you spare some change ?” I smiled, and said no again. He was very respectful; he smiled back and said, “OK, thank you.” Even though he didn’t have anything, he was still in good spirits. From the way he spoke I could tell he was smart.
Then I bought one hamburger and enjoyed my meal, but in the back of my mind I wondered whether the homeless man was hungry. After I finished my meal I decided to order another one for him. At this point I didn’t know if he was still around, but I tried anyway.
At the counter I ordered a hamburger and also a hot chocolate, because it was cold outside, and I thought it would help warm him up. They delivered me the hot chocolate first and as I waited for my hamburger, I noticed the homeless man was standing right beside me. I looked at him and smiled, “This hot chocolate is for you.” He replied like a gentleman, “Thank you so much. That’s very kind of you.”
I always believe no matter how hard up I am, there are always those who are worse off than I. When you help someone, it’s not always about money, it’s about love. The love you give today, someone might forget tomorrow. It doesn’t matter. Love anyway, because the greatest thing you can give is love.

22、Unlike produce such as peaches or bananas, strawberries begin to decline as soon as they are picked. Scientists have been working on a special protection that delays spoilage by slowing water loss and oxidation (氧化).
Every fruit and vegetable breathes. Once a piece of produce is picked from a tree or plant, it continues to breathe, aging slowly, until it begins to break down. Microorganisms then move in, causing it to spoil. Refrigeration can delay the process, but only so much.
Some scientists now think they can make your bananas, avocados, and other fresh produce last up to twice as long by delaying spoilage. Apeel, a start-up in Santa Barbara, California, has created a way to remove lipids from several popular crops and transform each type into a powder. Dissolved in water and applied to fruits or vegetables, it forms an edible(可食用的) barrier to lock moisture in and microorganisms out.
Farmers can apply a version of the solution in the field, or distributors can use the rinse (冲洗) on the packing line, extending a fruit’s shelf life by days or even weeks. The FDA recognizes the process as safe, and earlier this year it was approved for use on organic produce.
Giving shoppers more time with their fresh food is one purpose. But Apeel’s higher goal is to fight food waste and reduce the number of refrigerated trucks and ships that race between fields and stores to deliver food at its peak. The technology can also allow more crops to be delivered to more places farther and farther from where they’re grown. “You can imagine a world without seasonality of fresh produce,” says James Rogers, Apeel’s CEO and a materials scientist.
In the meantime, who couldn’t use a few extra days before that fruit in the fridge starts to mold?
【1】What has the company, Apeel, invented?
A. A strategy to fight food waste by mixing fruits or vegetables with crops.
B. A solution to get rid of what causes fresh fruits or vegetables spoil.
C. A method to remove crop lipids and change them into nutritious powder.
D. A way to lock moisture in and microorganisms out by forming an edible barrier.
【2】According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. Fruits and vegetables picked from trees can go bad easily without any protection.
B. Scientists are aimed at a new way to prevent fresh produce from molding soon.
C. Farmers and distributors can use what Apeel has created but it proves unsafe.
D. Shoppers are among those who can benefit a lot from Apeel’s new idea.
【3】What do James Rogers’s words mean?
A. Every fruit and vegetable will stay fresh all year around in the future.
B. The food fresh keeping technology contributes to long-distance transporting.
C. You can get any fresh produce in any season in the future.
D. You can use the fridge to store the fresh produce for a longer time.
23、We are all aware of the effect greenhouse gas emissions is having on our planet and the efforts needed to tackle climate change. Most of us are doing our bit to minimize our impact on the environment, but despite our collective effort, are we doing enough to achieve net zero by 2050?
Net zero means not adding to the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Many countries are doing their bit by changing how they generate and use power, thereby cutting carbon dioxide output. And they announced what further steps they were going to take at the recent COP26 summit in Glasgow.
In the UK, the government has been setting out its plans to achieve net zero by 2050. It's recently announced an end date for the sale of gas boilers (燃气锅炉)，which are used for heating homes. The idea is to replace them with heat pumps. It’s offering homeowners grants (拨款) of up to £5,000 to get them installed Another initiative in the UK is a big push towards electric vehicles. There are to be financial incentives (激励) for car manufacturers, and more charging points are to be installed in streets. And there’s to be a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel (柴油) cars by 2030.
But not all emissions can be reduced to zero, so those remaining will have to be compensated for, or offset (抵消). One way to do this is to plant thousands of trees，which are good at absorbing carbon dioxide. The UK government has pledged (保证) to plant 30,000 hectares of trees a year by 2025. There are other ideas too, but what's certain is this will cost money. The CBI's Tom Thackray told the BBC that 'those costs have to be weighed up against the cost of inaction (不作为).”
Whether the UK, or anyone else，reaches net zero remains to be seen. And there’s some doubt about how this can be accurately measured anyway. But it's generally recognized that a global effort is needed to tackle climate change. Therefore, net zero targets only make sense if every other country is moving in the same direction.
【1】Which is NOT one of UK government’s plans to achieve net zero?
A．A big push towards electric vehicles.
B．To plant 30,000 hectares of trees a year by 2025.
C．To weigh up the all the costs against the cost of inaction.
D．To replace gas boilers with heat pumps.
【2】What does the word “initiative” mean in paragraph 3?
A．A new plan.
B．A new grant
C．A new law.
D．A new ban.
【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．The world will probably reach net zero.
B．One country's efforts are far from enough to achieve net zero.
C．Every other country is moving in the same direction.
D．There’s doubt about how net zero can be accurately measured.
24、 Some 117 years after the Wright brothers made the first powered flight on Earth,NASA has repeated the accomplishment on another planet.
Carried to Mars in the belly of the Perseverance rover, the Ingenuity helicopter lifted off last week from the surface of the Red Planet to an altitude of about 10 feet, hovered for some 30 seconds, turned 96 degrees, and then gently landed. Six days later, on May 3, the drone flew the length of a football field, hitting a top speed of 4.5 mph. That 1 minute 20 second flight was an incredible technical achievement, reports The New York Times.
The red planet has significant gravity, about one-third that of the Earth’s. The Martian atmosphere is less than 1 percent as dense as Earth’s, so there is virtually no air for a helicopter’s rotor blades to push against and generate lift. During Martian daytime, the planet’s surface receives only about half the amount of solar energy that reaches the Earth during its daytime, and nighttime temperatures can drop as low as minus 90 degrees Celsius, which can freeze and crack unprotected electrical components. To enable Ingenuity to fly, NASA made the $85 million craft exceptionally light－it weighs 4 pounds－and fitted its body of tissue-box size with two 4-foot-wide carbon-fiber rotor blades. They spin five times faster than those of a conventional helicopter. To survive the freezing Martian nights, it must have enough energy to power internal heaters.
Ingenuity will make two more test flights before scientists focus on Perseverance’s primary mission: searching for signs of past microbial life in ancient Martian lake beds. NASA hopes to send more-sophisticated drones to Mars that will be able to carry scientific instruments and reach and study areas inaccessible to wheeled rovers. “What the Ingenuity team has done is to give us the third dimension,” says Michael Watkins, director of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. “They freed us from the surface now and forever in planetary exploration.”
【1】What can we learn about the Ingenuity helicopter from the passage?
A．It hovered for 30 seconds in May.
B．It lifted off from the surface of the Earth.
C．It has been damaged by the low temperature on Mars.
D．It hit a top speed of 4.5 mph during the second flight.
【2】Why is the flight of the Ingenuity helicopter an incredible technical achievement?
A．Because flying on Mars is far more difficult than that on Earth.
B．Because it helped NASA send another 2 drones to explore Mars.
C．Because it is the first time that a drone has landed on Mars.
D．Because the drone will make two more test flights.
【3】What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．Helicopters.
B．Temperatures.
C．Blades.
D．Heaters.
【4】What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To promote a new leading-edge technology.
B．To inform us of a recent progress in technology.
C．To evaluate the performance of the drone on Mars.
D．To analyze the data collected during the exploration.
