21、Agriculture may feed the world, but it is also contributing to environmental problems. Agriculture production uses about 70% of the Earth’s fresh water and makes up about a third of greenhouse gas emissions. But it doesn’t have to. Farming is moving inside, and farmers aren’t exactly what they used to be.
Take for example Grover and Phil, two robots, or farmers of the future, working at Iron Ox, a farm tech company in Silicon Valley, planning to set up farms around the country in order to grow crops closer to consumers in a greener way. “We have different robots that are looking after the plants. They can check and scan them for issues, and change the amount of nutrients plants get and the amount of water they get, explained Brandon Alexander, CEO of Iron Ox.
Iron Ox’s method is very different from what Alexander calls the “spray (喷洒) and pray” applying to agriculture on a Texas farm, where he grew up and more chemicals create more quantity at the expense of quality. “Besides, a lot of the water in field farming gets just washed out and never actually reaches the plants. And when 70% of your fresh water is going into farming, only 10% of that actually reaches the plants. It’s just generating a lot of waste,” he said. However, the indoor farming allows farmers to grow any crop at any time, regardless of climate change. It also uses hydroponics (无土栽培), growing crops without soil so water goes directly to the roots.
“In the indoor farming industry today, even with all the investments into it, these investments are a drop in the bucket in spite of the great potential of this new industry,” he added.
Iron Ox is now magnifying its business in more states. Alexander says the company will produce about 100 times more produce over the next 18 months than it’s currently producing to satisfy greater needs.
【1】Which of the following may be Grover and Phil’s work?
A．Producing nutrients for crops.
B．Watering plants scientifically.
C．Curing plants of their diseases.
D．Delivering produce to consumers.
【2】What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A．Chemicals contribute a lot to the quality of crops.
B．Hydroponics is impractical in growing crops now.
C．Indoor farming has advantages over traditional one.
D．It takes much more time for crops to grow indoors.
【3】What does Alexander say about indoor farming in Paragraph 4?
A．Its investments are far from enough.
B．It causes a waste of more water.
C．It needs buckets to grow crops.
D．It is unlikely to attract investments.
【4】What does the underlined word “magnifying” in the last paragraph mean?
A．Changing.
B．Reducing.
C．Quitting.
D．Expanding.
22、A 24-year-old female space commander has become a viral sensation on Chinese social media for her work.
Zhou Chengyu was in charge of the rocket connector system-described as a vital role. Her story in particular has drawn the public’s attention given her young age. Social media users have been celebrating her brilliance and referring to her as pride of the country.
Being the youngest of the team, Zhou Chengyu was born in 1996 in the province of Guizhou. She is certainly not “old” enough compared with her colleagues, but she is known at work as "Big Sister” as a sign of respect. Once in a 3-km running contest, she actually beat half of her male counterparts. Although work shifts are not uncommon at the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site, each shift requires tremendous courage because of the different background knowledge. However, for Zhou Chengyu, she experienced multiple positions in 5 launching tests and now she is the youngest commander at the site.
Despite carefulness and high responsibility at work, she is just like her peers in normal life. Eating snacks and shopping are her favorite free-time activities. Her high school teacher remembers her as tough and determined. “She always had a dream of becoming scientist,” said her physics teacher.
According to her colleague, Zhou Chengyu was very surprised when she found out she went viral online. She said that she was happy when she saw people online regarding her as the pride of the country, and yet she kept saying that she was “nobody but normal worker at a launch site” and there are a lot more people just like her going unnoticed while doing the hardest job to guarantee a better future for the Chinese space program. She also said that she wished to remain her current status and continue doing her work with or without the popularity.
【1】What makes Zhou Chengyu the pride of the country?
A．Her young age.
B．Her vital role in her work.
C．Her great courage.
D．Her responsibility at work.
【2】Which of the following words can best describe Zhou Chengyu?
A．Learned and confident.
B．Respectable and generous.
C．Patient and responsible.
D．Modest and determined.
【3】What can be the best title for the text?
A．A Young Pride
B．A Successful Colleague
C．An Extraordinary Dream
D．An Ambitious Commander
23、A psychologist at Stanford once did an experiment. He assigned preschool children to three groups. The first group watched adults play rudely with an inflatable clown (充气小丑) called Bobo; another watched adults play quietly with a different toy while ignoring Bobo; and the third had no exposure to these adult role models. Next, each of the children was left alone with Bobo.
The results of the study were striking. Only the children in the first group later kicked Bobo, hit it with a stick, and sat on it just as they watched the adults do.
The above study indicates kids may follow suit if they see what others do. That’s why role models matter. When kids are exposed to role models they can relate to, it helps them set ambitious goals. Don’t assume kids know they can be anything they want when they grow up.
Take myself for example. “Angela, do you think the US will elect a female president in your lifetime?” Years ago, this was the last question of the last interview for a scholarship I didn’t win. Without hesitation I shook my head saying “no”. As the interview ended, I sensed I’d given an answer the committee found disappointing. “Of course there will be a female president,” they wanted me to say with a confident smile. “And I hope I have your vote.”
Like most children, my first role models were in my family. My dad had a PhD in chemistry. My uncles and countless cousins were mostly doctors or scientists. So, if you’d asked me in, say, third grade, “Angela, could you become a college professor someday if you tried?” Without a bit of evidence that I’d be any good at such a career, I’d have nodded my head.
So it’s quite necessary that we should go out of our way to expose kids to role models, whether it’s an Olympic athlete or a CEO. Now that we have our first female vice-president, can the first female president be far behind?
【1】Why did the children in the first group treated Bobo rudely?
A．They regarded it as a mere toy.
B．They meant to make fun of Bobo.
C．They were raised to behave badly.
D．They were set a negative example.
【2】What did the committee expect Angela to do with the last question?
A．To raise her doubt.
B．To respond positively.
C．To interpret its meaning.
D．To change her reply quickly.
【3】How did third-grade Angela feel about the chance of being a professor?
A．Hopeful.
B．Doubtful.
C．Curious.
D．Hesitant.
【4】Which of the following may be the best title for the text?
A．My Role Models
B．Aim High and Act Early
C．How to Become American President
D．Role Models Help Shape Kids’ Future
24、Have you ever wondered what the food you eat every day can tell you about where you come from? Have you ever wondered why people from different parts of the world eat different types of food? There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think.
On an individual level we grow up eating the food of our cultures. It becomes a part of who we are. Many of us relate food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families, holding a special and personal value for us. When I was sick as a kid, my mother would cook soup and bring it to bed for me. The smell and taste of the soup became something very familiar to me. Now, whenever I feel tired or stressed, I feel hungry for that soup.
On a larger scale, food is an important part of culture. Traditional cuisine is passed down from one generation to the next. It also operates as an expression of cultural identity. Immigrants bring the food of their countries with them wherever they go and cooking traditional food is a way of preserving their culture when they move to new places.
The food does not remain exactly the same. What stays the same is the extent to which each country or community’s unique cuisine can reflect its unique history lifestyle, values, and beliefs.
In China, harmony is a vital trait in almost every aspect of life. This is reflected in Chinese cuisine, where almost every flavor is used in a balanced way, creating delicious dishes with flavors that go well together. Historically Chinese people have an ornate(华美的)style, which can be seen in their architecture and costumes, as well as in their food. They believe that food not only needs to be nutritious but also needs to look appealing, so they put a lot of effort into decorating the dishes and making them look colorful.
As the world becomes more globalized, it’s easier to access cuisines from different cultures. It’s important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture it belongs to, and is special to those who prepare it. Food is an entrance to culture, and it should be treated as such.
【1】What does the author want to express in Paragraph 1?
A．Traditions on culture
B．Difficulties in cooking food
C．Concerns about food and culture
D．Connections between food and culture
【2】Why does the author feel hungry for the soup his mother cooked?
A．He feels terribly homesick.
B．It is nutritious and inviting.
C．He is too weak to feed himself.
D．It has become a comfort food for him.
【3】What does the author say about Chinese cuisine?
A．It has an unbalanced flavor.
B．It features unnecessary decoration.
C．It reflects Chinese people’s values.
D．It is closely related to Chinese architecture.
【4】What would be the best title for the text?
A．You are what you eat
B．Food culture and globalization
C．What food tells us about culture
D．How food culture impacts our health

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
“No 7, Jobie Nymble, takes the lead,” cried the announcer. “Just one more hurdle (跨栏) and ...” Cheers broke out. “Jobie Nymble from Riverside Middle School takes first place in the girls’ 100-meter hurdles!” The crowd went wild.
“County championships (锦标赛), here we come,” screamed Jobie, patting her green track spikes (钉鞋). They were her lucky shoes and she loved them. “Next Saturday, we’re taking home the gold,” Jobie whispered to her spikes, excitedly retying them.
“Don’t forget, guys,” said Marisol, one of her teammates. “My birthday party is next Friday at Hidden Park.”
Next weekend couldn’t come soon enough. Jobie smiled with excitement all week long. At track practice, she leaped over those hurdles faster than she’d ever leaped before. And it wasn’t long before everything in her path was a hurdle: flowerpots in her front yard, sidewalk cracks on the way to the bus stop and even her little sister, Teka!
The day of Marisol’s party, Jobie put on her favorite outfit: her blue shorts, an old track T-shirt from her dad, and her lucky spikes. “Perfect.” She smiled at herself in the mirror.
The party was under way when Jobie arrived at Hidden Park. She stopped by the track first, planning to do some practice.
“Jobie!” Two of Jobie’s teammates rushed toward her, breathless and barefoot. “Come on,” they yelled. “You have to try the slide.”
Jobie looked toward the party area. Suddenly, she saw it. The biggest slide she had ever seen was on the far side of the park. Smiling kids zoomed down the slide at unspeakable speeds. Without thinking twice, Jobie took off her spikes and dashed (猛冲) toward the slide. Its ladder stretched to the sky, but she reached the top in no time, closed her eyes and let go.
Jobie couldn’t get enough. She tried again and again. When it was finally time to go home, she unwillingly made her way back to the track where she’d left her shoes.
