21、If there is one thing we can conclusively say about Isaac Asimov, it’s that he could write. His body of work extends to over 500 books. To add to that, he was never bound to a specific field. Although most famous as a science fiction writer, he also published on many more topics.

Part of this related to his gifted mind, but a bigger part was that he was well-educated. Many tend to think of being educated as the degrees we earn. Asimov did have a good degree, but his real education was broader than that. It was deeper than what he learned from instruction. It was his curiosity and his drive to push himself that took him from a young immigrant to maybe one of the most beloved US authors. As a young kid, he spent his days lost in his mind asking questions and creating imaginary worlds. He read books, and he loved knowledge.

In his autobiography (自传) It’s Been a Good Life, Asimov tells a story about an encounter he had as a child when his father asked him a question: “How did you learn all this, Isaac?” “From you, Pappa,” Asimov said. “From me? I don’t know any of this.” “You didn’t have to, Pappa,” He said. “You valued learning and you taught me to value it. Once I learned to value it, the rest came without trouble.” The mark of educated minds has nothing to do with how much they know. It has everything to do with the way they know and the way they go about knowing.

Also, one thing that many people don’t know about Isaac Asimov is that he actually wasn’t a full-time writer for most of his life. By personal choice, his day-job was as a chemist. One of the things that many polymaths (博学者) naturally do is explore a broad range of non-fiction topics. But something they tend to overlook is the knowledge they can obtain from fiction. Before Asimov fell in love with science, he was already attracted by fiction. It was his love of Greek myth and his reading of 18th and 19th-century classics that led him to become a great writer.

【1】According to the passage, Isaac Asimov is a ____________.

A．beloved US chemist

B．full-time fiction author

C．productive sci-fi writer

D．knowledgeable educator

【2】From the childhood encounter, we can learn that Asimov’ father ____________.

A．loved teaching Asimov knowledge

B．explored unknown fields with Asimov

C．rescued Asimov from trouble

D．taught Asimov to value learning

【3】Which of the following might the author agree with?

A．A good degree reflects one’s real education level.

B．Polymaths tend to look down upon Greek myth.

C．The way to learn is more important than knowledge itself.

D．Non-fiction is not worth reading if one is to become a writer.

【4】What is the purpose of this passage?

A．To analyze the reasons behind Asimov’s success as a writer.

B．To introduce Asimov’s childhood and his achievements.

C．To emphasize the contributions Asimov has made.

D．To call on the readers to buy Asimov’s books.

22、Most of us have heard the term "runner's high," but what exactly does this mean? Exercise creates chemical responses in the brain, which lead to both temporary and long-term mental health benefits. Here is how it works:

What happens when we are stressed?

●Cortisol（皮质醇）: This stress hormone is linked to mood, motivation and fear. It also alters immune system responses and suppresses the digestive system.

●Adrenaline（肾上腺素）: This stress hormone raises your heart rate, elevates blood pressure, and boosts energy stores.

●Hypothalamus（下丘脑）: This region of the brain is the body's natural alarm system which stimulates the production of cortisol and adrenaline.

●Hippocampus（海马体）: Too much cortisol cuts cell production in the brain's hippocampus region, damaging thought organization and memory formation.

Feeling overwhelmed? Hit the gym!

As your heart begins to pound, your brain chemistry reacts almost immediately to get you feeling better both physically and mentally.

【3】Where can we probably find the text?

A．In a fashion magazine.

B．In a physics textbook.

23、When an ice cube melts, it creates a puddle  (水坑). When an ice sheet  (冰盖)melts, it  raises sea levels. It sounds simple, but scientists have debated for decades whether both the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets actually were shrinking, and how much that melting contributed to rising sea levels.

Now, a new study has provided the best evidence of how the polar ice sheets are responding to our warming world. In the study, an international team of scientists looked at 20 years of' data in the ice sheets collected by 10 satellite missions. The team's conclusion: The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets both are losing ice overall. The researchers also found that between 1992 and 2011, melt water from those shrinking ice sheets caused sea levels to rise by about 11 millimeters.

Over the 19 years studied, the Greenland ice sheet lost 2.7 trillion metric tons of ice. The  Antarctic ice sheet also shrank by about l.3 trillion metric tons. Previously, some scientists disagreed whether the Antarctic sheet, the largest mass of ice in the world, was shrinking or growing or neither.

While the Earth is warming overall, the effect of climate change varies from region to region. Over the last 15 years, for example, scientists have something disagreed over how climate change has affected the polar ice sheets. Many studies found that the sheets lost a lot of ice and that not enough snow fell on the sheets to compensate for the loss. But other studies found that the loss of ice was balanced by the gain in snowfall.

Richard Alley, a glacier scientist at Penn State University, said that many of those studies looked at different areas, and over different time periods. In addition, the studies didn't all use the satellite data in the same way. Those differences made, it difficult to compare the results.

The data in the new study matched time periods and areas. The study also combined measurements from kinds of satellites.

【1】Why does the author use a common-sense phenomenon as the beginning?

A. To present the reason for ice sheet melting.

B. To show us the result of a scientific experiment.

C. To give a simple example to introduce the topic.

D. To present a common daily finding obvious to the readers.

【2】The researchers reached their conclusion by_____.

A. analyzing the findings of former studies

B. observing the Antarctic and Greenland

C. referring to the data from satellites

D. making measurements in the Antarctic and Greenland

【3】What does the underlined phrase "compensate for" in paragraph 4 refer to?

A．Cut down.

B．Lead to．

C．Bring about.

D．Make up for.

【4】Which of the following might be the best conclusion for the passage?

A. Ice sheets are shrinking due to global warming.

B. People are suffering from climate change.

C. Rising sea levels makes people live in danger.

D. Shrinking ice has nothing to do with sea levels.

24、“You brought home such a big dog on Christmas Eve? She’s not coming into my house.“ I said as they came. But my husband was happy to have the dog. From what he described, she had been neglected and tied to a tree. Her owners had to get rid of her because they were moving, so my husband brought her along.

I’m not against animals, but my work in emergency medicine let me see plenty of “the dog never bit anyone before” cases that I didn’t want repeated with my two-year-old. My husband adapted an area in the barn for her. He fed her in the morning before work and took her out in the evening. She was well-behaved. Still, I wasn’t taking chances with my child.

As the seasons passed, I started to feel bad for Brandy being stuck outside all the time. She seemed kind and gentle. Day after day, I would notice Brandy in her little space, alone, watching the house. The guilt was eating at me.

As my daughter grew a little older, I decided to let Brandy inside. She was a perfect house guest, showed no sign of aggression (进攻) and even became buddies with one of the cats. We made up for lost time with treats and soft beds. Once she moved into our house, she became a member of our family. We took her camping and found her to be great at traveling. She never caused a single moment’s trouble. As she became senior, I found a little dog Shirley through a rescue. We took Brandy to meet her, and Brandy played with the puppy, making it clear that there would be no problems bringing the young one home.

Brandy’s patient, gentle spirit showed me that you can’t judge a book by its cover—or a dog by its reputation. By opening my mind, I learned the truth about her. I’m so thankful for Brandy and the way she touched our lives, and the lessons she taught me.

【1】What did the author learn about dogs through her work?

A．Large dogs will be a threat to people.

B．Babies should be protected from dogs.

C．Dogs will bite people unexpectedly.

D．Dogs shouldn’t live in man’s rooms.

【2】What made the author feel guilty?

A．Her decision to adopt a new dog.

B．Her refusal to admit Brandy home.

C．Her giving Brandy little living space.

D．Her keeping her daughter off Brandy.

【3】When did the author decide to adopt Shirley?

A．When old age was a problem for Brandy.

B．When an animal rescue center contacted.

C．When Brandy turned friendly to the cats.

D．When Brandy got a promotion at home.

【4】What lesson did the author draw from her experience?

A．Rescued animals are a source of adoption.

B．Treating animals with respect is rewarding.

C．Dogs can be trained to be human companions.

D．Don’t judge things by the fame or impression.
