21、The year of 2014 saw smart people always busy inventing useful things，which have helped tomake the world better，smarter and a little more fun. Now，let's take a look at some of theinventions.
Super bananaAustralian biogeneticist（生物遗传学家）James Dalevisited Uganda，a poor African country，in the early 2000s，where he found that 15％-30% of children under 5 were at the risk of going blind because they didn't get enough vitamin A. Dale also learned that people there love bananas. They eat 3 to 11 bananas a day. So hecame up with an idea to plant bananas containing added nutrition in order to improve Ugandans' health ．With the help of Bill Gates' foundation，Dale developed the“super banana，’·He added a gene to the fruit，making it rich in vitamin A.
【1】Which of the following statements would James Dale agree with?
A. Children in Uganda should eat fewer bananas.
B. Vitamin A is largely found in fruits like bananas.
C ．Super bananas are definitely a safe biological product.
D. People's eating habits can be used to develop new food.
【2】What is the biggest advantage of the 94Fifty Basketball?
A. The sensors hidden inside can help players run faster in a game.
B. It can help players to improve their shooting and ball-handling skills.
C. It allows players to connect to their smartphones while playing basketball.
D. The Bluetooth chip inside allows its users to listen to music while playing basketball.
【3】What can we learn about the hovercraft from the text?
A. It enables its users to float off the ground freely.
B. It can work on many different kinds of surfaces.
C. It still needs to improve its power and efficiency.
D. It is an affordable means of transport for a family.
【4】What do the hovercraft and wireless electricity have in common according to the text?
A. They create magnetic fields to produce power.
B. They apply technologies to many things in life.
C. They are technologies which can produce electricity.
D. They use wireless technology to improve their products.
22、In our human-centric view, the ability to shoot ink or change colors may seem odd, but you know what’s really odd? Menopause (更年期). You can count species other than humans known to experience and outlive menopause on one hand. Only Oracs (虎鲸) and some whale populations have females that live long past their reproductive years to become grandmothers. But a new, landmark study confirms that at least one population of chimpanzees can now be added to the list.
The discovery comes as the result of 21 years’ worth of observing the Ngogo community of wild chimpanzees in Kibale National Park, Uganda. Studying urine from 66 Ngogo females, aged 14 to 67, showed that their hormone levels changed after approaching 50, confirming they were in menopause. Interestingly, 50 is also the age when many people begin to experience menopause. “It’s really cool to finally have that piece of the puzzle come into place,” says Catherine Hobaiter, a primatologist who was not part of the new study.
But Catherine points out that the Ngogo community lives in a chimp paradise: the resource-rich, well-protected Kibale National Park that also lacks leopards, their main predator. And because the Noggo community is found in the heart of the park, its only neighbors are other chimps — not humans who can expose chimpanzees to viruses that have devastated other communities. “The Ngogo population may be an outlier (局外人) when it comes to the rest of the species,” she cautions.
And there is a question concerning “the grandmother effect”, according to which a grandmother has a decidedly beneficial effect on her children and grandchildren. Chimpanzees do not form long-term pair-bonds and females leave in search of new communities when they reach maturity, which means grandmother chimpanzees likely don’t know who their grandchildren are in the same way humans or even orcas do. What they do after the menopause remains a question of interest. “And that’s all future work to be done.” said Catherine.
【1】What can be learned about menopause?
A．It is rare among animals.
B．It is unique to human beings.
C．It just occurs at the age of 50.
D．It is experienced only by females.
【2】What does the underlined part in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Scientist have found the solution to menopause.
B．What happens to the 66 Ngogo females remains a puzzle.
C．There is a puzzle whether chimpanzee females experience menopause.
D．The latest discovery casts new light on the puzzle of animal menopause.
【3】Why does Catherine mention the living situation of the Ngogo community?
A．To stress the importance of protecting chimpanzees from viruses.
B．To remind researchers of the potential limitation of the new study.
C．To prove that Ngogo chimpanzees are perfect subjects of the study.
D．To argue that the discovery of the new study is completely groundless.
【4】How is the last paragraph developed?
A．By offering a definition.
B．By drawing a conclusion.
C．By presenting relevant facts.
D．By giving examples and opinions.
23、 Some people have a very poor sense of direction.Unluckily，I am one of them.I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time.
When I was a little girl，I never dared to ask strangers the way.And so I used to walk around in circles and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to.
Now，I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions，but I often receive helpless or even wrong information.So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions.If anyone ever asks me the way somewhere，I would say，“Sorry，I am a stranger here.”
Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man.He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building.I gave him my usual reply.But just as I walked on only a few steps，I realized that he had asked the way to my office building.However，I had no time to turn back and look for him.I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn't want to keep him waiting.

24、Getting drunk on ice cream used to be the stuff of dreams, but thanks to Will Rogers, inventor and owner of WDS Dessert Stations in Hinkley, Illinois, it has become a delicious reality. The Below Zero ice cream machine uses a unique technique to freeze alcohol, which allows you to turn beers, cocktails and even spirits (烈酒) into delicious soft —serve ice cream.
Rogers was trying to create a highly — caffeinated espresso ice cream flavor when he realized he could use the same technique with alcoholic beverages. He started experimenting with various gums and stabilizers commonly used in the ice cream industry and eventually patented something called the NEA gel. It’s this magical concoction (调制品) that allows the alcohol to freeze to a near solid inside the Below Zero ice cream machine.
Even though Below Zero changes the texture (质地) of beer, cocktails and even spirits, essentially turning them into soft —serve ice cream, it does not affect the alcohol content at all. The ABV (酒精度) remains exactly the same, which means you can get drunk on ice — cream just as you would on the same concoctions in liquid form.
Will Rogers claims that it takes around 30 minutes for beer to go from liquid to ice cream form, but higher alcohol content drinks take longer. Essentially, the higher the alcohol level, the longer the wait.
The American inventor plans to sell Below Zero ice cream machines to bars and breweries wanting to surprise their patrons. Metro reports that machines will sell for about 6,000.
【1】What’s the name of the machine which can change beer and spirits into ice cream?
A．Will Rogers
B．WDS Dessert Stations
C．Hinkley
D．Below Zero
【2】What makes alcohol to freeze to a near solid inside the machine?
A．gums.
B．stabilizers.
C．NEA gel.
D．ABV.
【3】What can we know from the passage?
A．The machine can change all liquids into ice cream.
B．It takes 20 minutes for beer to change into ice cream.
C．The higher the alcohol level, the shorter the wait will be.
D．The machine changes the texture of beer, cocktails and even spirits.
【4】What can we infer from the passage?
A．The machine affects the alcohol content.
B．You can get drunk if you have ice—creams made from spirits.
C．The American inventor doesn’t want to sell the magical machine.
D．Bars and breweries will not become potential buyers of the machine.
