26、Plants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.
If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering plants.
Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit.
Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores (胚芽). Spores are very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores are all on wet and shady places, they usually grow into new plants.
【1】The main idea of the first paragraph is that ______.
A.plants are important for life
B.plants cannot grow without air
C.there are many plants in the world
D.we can not live without water
【2】Plants can make food from______.
A.flower, water and air
B.water, sunlight and air
C.air, water and soil
D.air, sun and light
【3】What can we infer (推断) from the passage?
A.Of all living things animals are most important
B.Spores are seeds
C.All fruits of flowering plants have seeds
D.Without plants, man will die out
【4】This passage may be taken from______.
A.a medicine book
B.a novel
C.a science magazine
D.an experiment report
【5】The underlined word “protected” in the third paragraph can be replaced by ______.
A.damaged
B.polluted
C.prevented
D.guarded
27、Early surveys of employees and employers found that remote work did not reduce productivity (生产力). But a new study of more than 10,000 employees at an Asian technology company between Apr. 2019 and Aug. 2020 paints a different picture.
The firm uses software installed on employees’ computers that tracked which applications or websites were active, and whether the employees were using keyboards or mouses. The research concluded that the employees were working hard. Total hours worked were 30% higher than before COVID-19, including an 18% increase in working hours outside normal working hours. But this extra effort did not translate into any rise in output.
The interesting thing is why this happened. The academics were able to analyze how much time the employees spent in “collaboration (合作) hours”, defined as various types of meetings, and how much time they had as “focus hours”, when they could pay attention to their tasks. Despite working longer hours, the employees had less focus time than before COVID-19. Instead, all their extra time was taken up by meetings.
One possibility is that managers are less certain of their team’s devotion and are holding more meetings to check on them. Another is that managers call so many meetings to prove their own existence when they are not in the office. However, the academics suggest the greater need for meetings is the result of the greater difficulty of coordinating(协调)employees when they are working remotely — another sign that the process is inefficient.
This seems a raw deal for the employees. They received no more money for the overtime. Although they saved time spent traveling between home and the office, this did not balance the extra hours spent in meetings.
Not all workers behaved the same way, however. Those who had worked at the company the longest tended to be more productive, suggesting that they found it easier to manage the difficulties of home-working. Employees with children worked around 20 minutes a day more than those without, showing an even greater fall in their productivity, probably because they were distracted (分心) by child-care duties.
It is hardly surprising that there would be some problems involved with remote working. The practice was, after all, carried out suddenly. The way to improve the efficiency of remote working is simple: fewer meetings, shorter meetings.
【1】What does the underlined part “a different picture” refer to?
A.Employees prefer working remotely to working in an office.
B.Employees working remotely enjoy more flexible working hours.
C.Employees working remotely work harder than those in the office.
D.Employees working remotely work longer but have no increase in output.
【2】What leads to the low productivity of remote working according to the writer?
A.Endless meetings.
B.Lack of devotion.
C.Decreased attention to tasks.
D.Unwillingness to collaborate.
【3】What kind of people may be productive when working remotely?
A.People who have no need to take care of the kids.
B.People who are more focused when working in the office.
C.People who can handle the negative aspects of remote working.
D.People who can maintain a balance between their work and lives.
【4】What does the passage mainly focus on?
A.Increased productivity of remote working.
B.Doubt about the efficiency of remote working.
C.Advantages and disadvantages of remote working.
D.Ways to improve the efficiency of remote working.
28、Jerry Morrison was already shooting for the stars at six. “I want to live on another planet,” Jerry told his uncle, Joey Jefferson, at StoryCorps in November. Jefferson, 29. also fell in love with space at an early age. Today he’s a mission operations engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab.
Jefferson, who lives in California, and Jerry, who lives in Florida, meet up a few times a year, and their conversations are always about their common interest in space.
“What kind of planet would you live on? Are you going to say Mars?” Jefferson asked. No, Jerry wants to live much farther from Mars: on an exoplanet (a planet beyond the edge of the solar system) called Kepler-452b. NASA announced its discovery of the Earth-like planet in 2015.
Jefferson wants his nephew to not only hold on to his curiosity but also share what he learns with others. And Jerry has already gotten the chance to do that. As a kindergartner last year, he taught a lesson to the fifth graders in his school about the planets of the solar system.
“It was a big chance for me,” Jerry said. “I felt so proud.”
Jerry said he learned about space from his uncle. “I learned from you a lot, like more than I could imagine.” Jerry said.
“You’re learning so much by yourself, too, that you’re teaching me as well,” Jefferson said. “And that’s really cool. The more you learn, the more you realize the little things in life we take for granted are the very things that make life possible. So when I look up at the stars. I think about that.”
【1】What do Jerry Morrison and Joey Jefferson enjoy talking about when they meet?
A.Their shared love for space.

29、3D printing is taking home construction(建筑)to new heights. A giant printer is building what designers say is the first 3D-printed two-story house in the US.
“While construction 3D printing has been around for over ten years, the technology has only started to break ground in the US homebuilding market over the last couple of years,” said Lok, the architectural designer for the project. Several 3D-printed homes have already been built or are currently in the works across a handful of states.
Lok, who co-founded X, a design company, said, “My team aims to eventually scale up(扩大)the designs to be able to efficiently 3D print multifamily homes.” With the Houston home, the team is pushing the industrial printer to its limits to understand how it can stream-line(使效率更高)the technology, in the search of quickly building cost-effective and well-designed homes.
“In the future, it has to be fast, simple design in order to compete with other building technologies,” said Zerle, the head of structural engineering. “We are not trying to beat the clock.” “It’s a case study. We’re learning the abilities of the machine, learning the reaction of the material under different weather conditions. We’re learning how to optimize(优化)the speed of printing. When this project is completed, we should have a very good idea of how to proceed in the future,” he added.
On the design side, Lok sees opportunity to one day offer customized features at a mass scale, without excessive labor costs. “The printer doesn’t care if you print the same chair 100 times or you print 100 different chairs,” she said. “This opens up the possibility of how we can actually offer customized design for the users, whether it’s a single-family house or whether it’s a multifamily building or apartment.”
【1】What can we learn about 3D printing?
A.It is applied to two fields in the US.
B.It is widely used in homebuilding market.
C.It has been applied to building in a few states.
D.It has been used in construction for less than ten years.
【2】What is the purpose of Lok and her team?
A.To satisfy any customer’s need.
B.To increase the size of their designs.
C.To use the technology in other fields.
D.To understand what the technology can do
【3】Why does the author quote Zerbe’s words?
A.To show his advantages.
B.To state the purpose of the study.
C.To describe the process of the study.
D.To tell others how the technology works.
【4】Which can be the best title for the text?
A.3D-Printed Homes Hopefully Come True
B.3D-Printed Houses Are Perfect For Living
C.3D Printing Levels Up Home Construction
D.3D Printing 1s Speeding Up High-rise Buildings
