21、NASA’s pioneering planetary defense probe (探测仪), DART, spent the last 306 days calmly travelling through space toward its own target: an asteroid (小行星) the size of football field, known as Dimorphos. At around 3 p.m. on Monday, the rock emerged; just a little white light on the probe’s camera.
Second by second, the $325 million, 1,200-pound spacecraft inched closer to its final destination. The asteroid grew larger, becoming a light spot, then a rough globe. Eventually, it enveloped the screen. At 4:14 pm, DART’s cameras went red. In mission control, a team member’s voice was unclear with noise over the intercom, indicating a loss of signal.
The probe had crashed into the asteroid at around 14,000 miles per hour. Now DART is at rest on the surface of Dimorphos. That’s exactly what NASA had hoped for. Cheers and congratulations rang out through the control room at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Maryland.
“We’ve worked on this mission for at least seven years now,” said Elena Adams, the DART system engineer at JHUAPL, continuing “to see it so beautifully concluded today was just an incredible feeling — and also, incredibly tiring.”
Unlike the rest of NASA’s deep space fleet of robots, DART was doomed(注定要毁灭) by design. It’s the first test of a planetary defense technology that could one day help protect the Earth from a wandering asteroid or comet by deliberately striking it and sending it off course. DART was launched in November 2021 on a carefully planned striking course to an asteroid pair, known as Didymos and Dimorphos. Its track was set and monitored by artificial intelligence without the ability to course correct from the team at Johns Hopkins, which designed, developed and managed the craft.
“We’re setting out on a new era of humankind. An era in which, we, potentially have the capability to protect ourselves from a dangerous, risky asteroid impact,” said Lori Glaze, NASA’s Planetary Science Division director.
【1】What was DART intended to do?
A．Explore a planet.
B．Strike an asteroid.
C．Probe the universe.
D．Broadcast football matches.
【2】Why did the asteroid grow larger on the probe’s camera?
A．The probe landed.
B．The camera dropped.
C．The probe drew nearer.
D．The camera was broken.
【3】What does Lori Glaze say about the success of DART?
A．It’s accidental.
B．It’s significant.
C．It’s surprising.
D．It’s worrying.
【4】Where can the text probably be found?
A．In a newspaper.
B．In a history book.
C．In a science fiction.
D．In a fashion magazine.
22、A Dutch artist and designer has come up with a device which he hopes will get rid of pollutants from Beijing's smog skies, creating clean air for the city's mask-wearing people.
An electromagnetic field（电磁场） will pull particles（微粒） in the smog to the ground where they can be easily cleaned.
“It's like when you have a balloon which has static（静电） and your hair goes toward it. Same with the smog,” says artist Daan Roosegaarde.
His studio has reached an agreement with the Beijing government to test the technology in one of tile capital's parks.
With its skies regularly covered by dirty gray smog, Beijing this week announced a series of emergency measures to handle the problem.
Roosegaarde says an indoor model device has already proven it works and is confident that the results — with the help of a team of scientists and engineers — can be replicated outside.
“Beijing is quite a good place because the smog in Beijing is quite low. It lies in a valley so there's not so much wind. It's a good environment to explore this kind of thing.”
“We'll be able to purify the air and the challenge is to get the top of the smog so you can see the sun again.”
Roosegaarde acknowledges that projects like this are a way of drawing attention to the problem, rather than a practical solution to Beijing's awful air pollution.
“This is not the real answer for smog. The real answer has to do with clean cars, different industry and different lifestyles.”
However, he hopes the project will make a “fundamental statement” by allowing the city's people to realize the difference between breathing clean and smog-filled air.
【1】The device works by _______.
A. helping keep the particles out with more masks
B. pulling pollutants to the ground with an electromagnetic field
C. absorbing hair with a balloon with static
D. creating clean air and let it out into the sky
【2】According to the passage, ______ .
A. the Beijing government has agreed to use the technology in Beijing
B. they have proven the results of the device both indoors and outdoors
C. the results of the air-cleaning device can be expectable
D. the Beijing government has never done anything to handle the air pollution
【3】What does Roosegaarde really mean by saying “Beijing is quite a good place…... ”?
A. The air pollution in Beijing is not quite serious.
B. The weather in Beijing is good for foreigners to live in.
C. Beijing is quite fit for using the air-cleaning device.
D. It is easy to get the top of the smog in Beijing.
【4】Roosegaarde appeals to people in Beijing to ________.
A. pay attention to air pollution and solve the problem finally
B. invent more devices to clean the smog in Beijing
C. drive modern cars and try different lifestyles
D. realize how serious the pollution they're facing is

24、Have you wondered about the amount of time we spend talking about food and been surprised? We are always asking questions such as “Have you ever eaten？” and “What did you have for lunch？”Yet, if you travel from one country to another, you might find that other nations think differently about food. People plan to think that what they eat is normal and what everyone else eats is strange. In most parts of Asia, for example, no meal is complete without rice but in England, rice is the exception and people prefer to eat potatoes, in the Middle East, bread accompanies every meal.
Eating, like so many things we do, becomes a habit that is difficult to change. The Americans seem to like drinking lots of orange juice and coffee; the English prefer to drink tea four or five times a day; the Australians prefer to drink a lot of beer; the French, like wine every day.
People in different countries also like eating different kinds of meat and even within countries, different regions will have different likes and dislikes, especially in large countries like China and the former Soviet Union. In Hong Kong and the south of China, some people enjoy eating snakes but in the north of China, most people refuse to eat them. The French think that horse meat is delicious but most English people are terrified at the thought of eating it. The New Zealanders eat a lot of lamb and mutton, but never goat. The Japanese say that they do not like eating lamb and mutton because of their smell, but that they really enjoy eating raw fish more than anything else.
So it seems that there is often very little common sense about what is nicest to eat or drink in different parts of the world although we may talk on the subject of food for hours. However, as people everywhere enjoy eating what they have always eaten, there seems very little point in trying to change traditional eating habits.
【1】The topic people spend a lot of time talking about is ________.
A．lunch
B．breakfast
C．dinner
D．food
【2】Bread is necessary in every meal in ________.
A．the Middle East
B．America
C．England
D．Asia
【3】In England, people prefer to eat ________.
A．rice
B．potatoes
C．corn
D．bread
