21、Kite surfing is a sport that takes place on the surface of the water, on top of boards that are similar in design to wakeboards (尾波滑水板), with the surfer pulled by a kite. The popularity of kite surfing has grown, although it is rather difficult to master. Kite surfing uses the same equipment as kite boarding, but is generally given more to riding on top of waves, rather than on smaller lakes or other calm bodies of water.
Early experiments in kite transportation took place through the 19th century, and at the dawn of the 20th century Samuel Cody crossed the English Channel using kites and a small boat. Kite surfing itself, however, wasn’t really born until the late 1970s. Beginning in that decade, more people became involved in using kites for personal transport and sport. Kite technology itself advanced enormously during the 1970s, with kites becoming much more controllable.
The early kite surfing was rather accidental, but innovators continued to develop the technology to make it easier to control and safer. By the late 1990s, kite surfing was becoming popular off the coast of Maui, France and throughout the world. In 1997, a special kite system was built specifically for kite surfing, which helped kite surfing into the mainstream.
Because of the high speeds and the dangers, it is generally recommended that would-be kite surfers take at least a few basic classes to learn the fundamentals. The main attraction of kite surfing is the potential for amazing tricks. The kite allows the surfer to experience enormous jumps, flying through the air for large distances before hitting the water in a controlled fashion. Like skateboarding, kite surfing makes use of a number of board grabs, with complex tricks possible due to the long period of time the surfer can remain in the air.
【1】What does the author mainly intend to tell us in Paragraph 1?
A．What is kite surfing.
B．Where to go kite surfing.
C．How to enjoy kite surfing.
D．Why people like kite surfing.
【2】In the 19th century, people intended to use kite for ________.
A．sport
B．experiment
C．entertainment
D．transportation
【3】What can we know from the third paragraph?
A．Kite surfing often leads to accidents.
B．Maui is home to kite surfing.
C．Kite control is the key to kite surfing.
D．Kite surfing came into being in the 1990s.
【4】What is most charming for people surfing?
A．Its potential for tricks.
B．Its long time in the air.
C．Its speed across the water.
D．Its big distance over the water.

23、 Hacking isn't just for computers and smart-phones. According to a study, scientists have found a way to hack a plant's genes in order to make it use sunlight more quickly. Someday, the results could increase the number of food produced around the world.
Scientists used tobacco plants in the study because it is easy to change the plants' genes. Hacked plants are larger than normal plants.
Photosynthesis is the word used to describe how plants use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to make their own food. Scientists say this is a very slow process. Plants use less than 1 percent of the energy. But by hacking a plant's genes, the scientists were able to increase the amount of leaf growth on plants between 12 and 20 percent. Scientists hacked the plant's protective system. Normally, this system starts when a plant gets too much sunlight. When the plant senses the light, it creates more leaves. When the plant is in shade, the protective system is turned off. But the process is slow.
The new study sped up the process by changing the plant's genes. The protective system turned on and off more quickly than normal. As a result, leaf growth on the plants scientists used in the study increased. Leaf growth on two plants increased by 20 percent, while leaf growth on a third plant increased by 12 percent. Scientists conducted the study on tobacco plants. But they think the genetic changes would produce the same results in corn and rice.
Agriculture professor Tala Awanda said the study made sense, but cautioned the yield (产量)might not be quite so high for conventional food crops. "Still," she added in an email, "this study remains a breakthrough."
【1】Which of the following is true according to paragraph 1?
A.We can find hacking only in digital devices.
B.A plant's genes can be changed by hacking.
C.Hacking has been used in improving food production.
D.Hacking can be used to change whatever you want.
【2】Why did scientists choose tobacco plants to study?
A.Because they are very easy to get.
B.Because their genes are easy to change.
C.Because they are larger than other plants.
D.Because they can absorb sunlight quickly.
【3】What do we know about photosynthesis?
A.It helps plants to produce energy.
B.It is regarded as a productive system for plants.
C.It can increase leaf growth on plants by 12 percent.
D.It is made up of sunlight, water and carbon dioxide.
【4】We can learn from paragraph 4 that changing the plants' genes proved_______.
A.Useless B.deadly
C.effective D.unrealistic
24、Tired of all the pushing in supermarkets? Fed up with waiting in endless lines to pay for what you have bought? Angry at wasting time in traffic jams only to find no parking spaces when you eventually arrive at the store? If this is you, then online shopping is the answer to your dreams of trouble-free shopping. Or is it?
Online shopping brings its own challenges. Here are a few things to bear in mind when browsing (浏览) various websites. The claim made by online sites is that shopping online is a safe and secure way to make purchases. The evidence challenges this. In any case, you only have to be the victim of fraud (诈骗) once to experience all the problems that come with this form of stealing. Use only sites that have a trusted history and an excellent reputation.
Another problem is the appearance of items in reality is often quite different from what you see on your computer screen. This might not be a problem if you are buying washing up powder but could be a major disappointment when that beautiful blue dress you ordered turns up in green. Also, product descriptions are sometimes simply untrue. Perhaps the wisest plan is to purchase items where design and color are not essential to customer satisfaction.
Some even argue that online shopping indirectly contributes to global warming. Yes, your car can stay parked but how are online goods delivered? Often by some large vans pouring out carbon monoxide and adding to our already desperate traffic problems. You are also by now becoming increasingly irritated (使烦恼) by the fact that the delivery is late and you have wasted the leave from work you have taken to receive it!
Without question, online shopping is here to stay and it has its benefits. However, perhaps it is not as wonderful as some of its supporters claim it to be.
【1】The author lists several questions in Para. 1 to .
A. support online shopping
B. collect answers from readers
C. show his dislike of going shopping
D. introduce the topic of the passage
【2】 By what can online shoppers avoid fraud?
A. Using only trusted websites.
B. Choosing big websites.
C. Collecting shopping evidence.
D. Seeking advice from the police.
【3】The author agrees with the fact that ______.
A. customers are never satisfied with products
B. online shopping is a safe way to make purchases
C. online shopping has nothing to do with global warming
D. delivery delay often makes online shoppers unhappy
【4】What is the author’s attitude towards online shopping?
A. Very popular. B. A wise choice.
C. Not trouble free. D. A waste of time.
