21、Astronauts in space can do many exciting things, but they miss out on ordinary things we all take for granted—hanging out with family and digging into a slice of hot steaming pizza. However, there may soon be a solution to the problem, thanks to this cool 3D pizza printer!
A year ago, NASA offered $ 125,000 to Anjan Contractor, a 3D technology expert, to build a device(设备) that would allow astronauts to make pizza. The engineer promised that his invention would produce pies in large quantities that looked, tasted and smelled like pizza made in ovens.
Late last year, the engineer presented a video of his first prototype(原型) that begins by creating a single slice of dough(面团) that is cooked and printed at the same time. Then comes the tomato “sauce”—a mix of tomato powder, oil and water and finally a protein slice that likes cheese. While the video doesn’t show the baking process, the inventor says that once the pizza is printed, it can be ready to be enjoyed in 7 seconds.
While the pie in the video looks delicious enough to attract any pizza lover, Anjan Contractor is far from ready for astronauts. That’s because he still has to find a solution to make the food container in the printer last for 30 years.
Anjan Contractor believes that the only way that is possible is that the water is removed from all the ingredients(配料) and then they are reduced to the powder form. This will not be so easy. However, while the printer may not be ready for space, it certainly looks ready for people on earth. Hopefully, Contractor will consider selling it to those not fortunate enough to go to Mars!

【2】What does the video in Paragraph 3 show?
A．What the machine looks like.
B．What the printed pizzas look like.
C．How the machine makes pizzas.
D．How the inventor built the machine.
【3】What is the biggest problem Anjan Contractor faces?
A．The pizzas are not delicious.
B．The container can’t last long enough.
C．The pizzas can’t stay fresh for long.
D．The money for his research has been used up.
【4】What’s the best title of the text?
A．3D Pizza Printers Have Been Used to Make Pizza
B．NASA Tries Its Best to Help Astronauts Eat Better
C．NASA Works on Making Pizza for Common People
D．Astronauts May Be Able to Enjoy Hot Pizza in Space
22、 The Greeks and Romans named most of the planets in the solar system after particular gods, and we have kept those names in English. Uranus and Neptune, unknown in classical times, were named by the modern astronomers who discovered them, but still after Greek and Roman gods. 【1】.
The word “earth” has roots in the Old English term “eorþe”. Eorþe had multiple meanings like “soil”, “dirt”, “ground”, “dry land” and “country”. Old English, used until about 1150, is the earliest known phase of what became our modern English tongue. 【2】. Old English evolved from a parent language that scholars call “Proto-Germanic”.
German that's spoken today is part of the same linguistic (语言学的) family. “Earth” and “eorþe” are therefore related to the modern German word “Erde”. Not only is this the German language’s name for our home planet, but it can also be used to refer to dirt and soil.
【3】. For example, there’s the Old Saxon “ertha”, the Old Frisian “erthe” and the Dutch word “aarde”. All these likely come from a Proto-Germanic term that was never recorded, as far as we know.
【4】. But if a single person gave planet Earth its English name — which is unlikely — his or her identity has been lost to the sands of time.
Still, it’s clear that while Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune all started out as the proper names of ancient gods, “Earth” did not. 【5】.
A．Yet the story didn’t begin there
B．However, Earth is the one exception
C．That’s why our planet is sometimes called “the earth” with a lowercase (小写的) “e”
D．“Earth” has relatives in some other languages, too
E．You may wonder which god or goddess Earth is named after
F．Since it’s not clear how Earth was named
G．Nobody knows when people started using words like “Earth” or “Erde” to refer to our planet
23、Binge-watching is when a person watches more than one episode of a show in quick succession(一连串，连续）". With developments in the speed and connectivity of the internet, increases in technology and the rise of on-demand entertainment companies, people can now have their favorite shows streamed directly to their television at their convenience.
This behavior is nothing new. In fact, " binge-watching" has been officially listed in dictionaries since 2015. The entertainment companies recognize this behavior and many take steps to encourage it. Often, instead of releasing each episode on a week-by-week basis, an entire series will become available concurrently. Once the episode finishes many platforms will display pop-ups with “you might like suggestions, or will automatically play the next episode”.
However, recent research suggests that out of the more than half of British adults who watch more than one episode of a show back-to-back, almost a third have admitted missing sleep or becoming tired as a result; and one quarter have neglected their household chores. Next we’ll be missing work!
Bingeing has other connections-binge eating, binge drinking and binge smoking. All of them are often associated with a lack of control and a possible route to addiction. Lindsey Fussell, consumer group director, said: “The days of waiting a week for the next episode are largely gone, with people finding it hard to resist watching multiple episodes around the house or on the move.” If people find binge-watching hard to resist, coupled with the fact that it has shown to lead to negligence in many, are we witnessing the birth of a new type of addiction?
The countless of information and entertainment that television and online media can bring us is, many would say, a good thing. However, when the activity begins to bleed into other areas, causing us to stop functioning then it becomes a problem. So, what's the answer? Moderation! Neither a tiny amount, nor too much. After all, as the old proverb says, “A little of what you fancy does you good.”

A．similarly
B．gradually
C．naturally
D．necessarily
【3】What Lindsey said in Paragraph 4 implies that _____________.
A．people have no patience to do work
B．people can’t control their movements
C．people are delighted to watch television
D．people can’t resist the temptation
【4】What advice did the writer give at last?
A．To watch episodes in a moderate way.
B．To draw life lessons from the episodes.
C．To enjoy entertainment as much as possible.
D．To keep online media from stopping functioning.
24、There is no doubt that the United States has entered a brand new age, because Donald Trump, the country’s 45th president, is very different from any president before him.
Unlike Hillary Clinton, his opponent, and most former US presidents, who entered the election after years of being politicians, Trump, 70, was a New York real estate businessman.
And he was not a presidential candidate who worked hard to keep a perfect public image of a man who was always caring, fair and wise.
Instead, Trump is famous for being bad-tempered, arrogant(傲慢的) and hateful toward those who disagree with him. He also hates immigrants, both from Latin America and the Middle East, for many problems in the US. This has caused a dangerous division in the country—a country made up of many various races.
But to his supporters, the fact that Trump is not a typical politician is actually one of his advantages. His habit of never hiding his opinions is also considered by many to be a sign that he is not a hypocrite like many politicians are.
“We have seen our country take a downturn in the eyes of the world. We need to go in a different direction, ” Binyomin Weisswasser, 39, a man from Chicago, told the Chicago Tribune. “Trump’s not a politician... I like that he is not always politically correct and speaks his mind. It gives me the feeling that what you see is what you get. You may not like it, but you know what it is.”
But interestingly, many who elected Trump actually followed the “lesser of two evils” principle—one that people use when faced with picking from two unpleasant options—simply because they didn’t think Clinton was a better choice.
“He’s the candidate I disagree less with, ” Jack Stucky, 20, a student at Norwestern University, told the Chicago Tribune. “I don’t think I’d say Donald Trump is going to be the best president ever, but I did think he’d be better than Hillary Clinton.”
It’s true that the US is entering a new age. It’s just not clear yet what kind of age it’s going to be.
【1】What’s the difference between Trump and any president before him?
A. He knew little about politics before the presidential election.
B. He didn’t try to keep a perfect public image.
C. He gained popularity by his bad reputation.
D. He is not always politically correct and speaks his mind.
【2】The underlined words “a hypocrite” is closely related in meaning to _____.
A. a dishonest person B. a caring person
C. a shy person D. a selfish person
【3】What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. It reports on people’s different views on Trump’s victory in the election.
B. It explores the advantages Trump has over Hillary in the election.
C. It predicts what changes Trump will bring to the US.
D. It analyzes the reasons for Trump’s victory in the election.
