21、   We moved into a beautiful two­story old house.The house was built in 1956. It was repaired in 2003.

At first, really small things began to happen. They didn’t make me believe that something was wrong, but as time went on, things started becoming stranger and stranger. Early something was missing, and later on it would be found somewhere else. I just thought I had forgotten where I put it, or perhaps my daughter was playing around with things. Then later on I would hear strange sounds when nobody was at home but me. Yet it was an old house, and sometimes old houses did make little noises, so again, I didn’t really mind.

Then things that I couldn’t explain started happening. It was last November and I was at home alone cleaning the house. When I was sweeping the kitchen floor, I felt a very cold wind blowing my hair. I thought the kitchen window must have been opened, but when I checked it, it was closed. The windows were new, and there was no way any cold air came in.

We all felt very strange and moved away from there in October, 2014. I was never really frightened. It was just strange, like something or someone was trying to get my attention or something.

22、   There are so many choices when you go shopping. You have to check the sell — by dates so that you know how long you can store and use the food you are purchasing.

But do you know that the best sell — by dates on food packaging don't really tell you if the food is safe to eat. The food may not last as long as it says if it isn't stored correctly at any point of the distribution chain. Now there is food packaging that can detect and change colors if the food has gone bad.

Each American wastes 103 pounds of spoiled food out of the refrigerator every year. The new smart packaging from Primitives Biodesign—a new company that operates out of a lab at Indibio, a biotech accelerator in San Francisco-can help to reduce this huge waste of food.

The basic material that doesn't contain sensing material is made from algae and can block oxygen more effectively than regular film, so the food stays fresher for a longer time. Since it is made from a natural substance, it can also break down in nature.

Making the film smart is the thorny part. Luckily, the team managed to use a process that is like the way nature responds to changes in the environment. The mechanism responds like the way flowers emit compounds to change colors.

“It could be supplement packaging that indicate when it's been tampered with by changing color to tell you that it's no ledger safe," says Kan. She explained that the new packaging can be used on food products to fell if the food has turned bad before someone has to smell or taste it.

The company has proven in lab tests that the technology works and now they are working on how to develop commercial uses for it. The added safety features will come out later. Helping to control food waste in products like meat or cheese which have high greenhouse gas emissions will also help to reduce climate change.

【1】What can we infer from paragraph 2?

A．Storing food properly is very important.

B．The color of food packaging is not clear.

C．Regular food packaging is of little value.

D．It's not hard to control distribution chains.

【2】What does the word “thorny” underlined in paragraph 5 probably mean?

A．Changeable.

B．Interesting.

C．Natural.

D．Difficult.

【3】What can we say about the new food packaging?

A．It is too thin to block oxygen.

B．It is really good for the environment.

C．It is perfect for commercial uses.

D．It is sensitive to pleasant smells.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．Smart Packaging Tells If Food Is Safe to Eat

B．Sensing Materials Indicate the Color of Food

C．A Great Team Is Concerned With Food Safety

D．Old Packaging Slows Down Climate Change

24、   Some of my earliest memories of Mother come from the time we lived in Prairie Village. I was about 3 years old. Mother would take me on nature hikes along the small river’s banks.

In the bushes we found insects, cocoons (茧) and butterflies. She made a butterfly net for me. While running after a butterfly in our back yard, I put the net down. Mother and I built snowmen, much taller than I, and we laughed aloud after a snowball fight. In the season of rain and flowers, singing birds and sunny mornings, the cocoon broke open, and a brilliant white butterfly came out.

One of our favorite books was “The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher.” I would sit at Mother's side as she read the story. I consider the years spent with Mother “On the River” a foundation to a lifelong interest in science, inspiring me, in part, to choose a career in medicine. I recall sitting with Mom on the front of the house in Baldwin late one June evening. Dad’s tail-lights were disappearing quickly as he drove off to see his Dad, who was dying in Garnett.

Mom said, “Oh, kids, we’re only here for such a short time....” Her words were also kind of scary to me at the time, because what I heard her say was that we are all destined (注定) to die, and she had told me once before that she was afraid to die. I guessed her message was more than “Our life on earth is short and we are all destined to die” She meant that “Make the most of life while you can, here on earth. Reach for the stars!” Mother also said “Oh, kids! We’ll have the stars!” She had 5 of the stars she’d brought onto this earth. In 1963, 6th star was added, named Kip.

All of us did well in our life. 1971 found me attending Baker University, and I found a star and married her in the middle of medical school. I have added four more stars: Dean, Christine, Dan, and Dave. Dean found a star and married her. He and Shakeena now have 3 stars: Demetrius, Olivia, and Maxwell. Mom loved babies, children, and youth so much... We have the stars!

【1】When the writer was three years old, his mother ________.

A．taught him a lot of knowledge

B．taught him how to enjoy himself

C．took him to get close to nature

D．let him catch butterflies every day

【2】What has a great effect on the writer’s career later?

A．His mother’s words.

B．His grandfather’s death.

C．The book his mom read.

D．His life in his childhood.

【3】What is the writer’s understanding of his mother’s message?

A．Live a happy life and try your best.

B．Make full use of your time and aim high.

C．Enjoy yourself and be a star in the future.

D．Enjoy your life to the full length and be happy.

【4】We can learn from this passage that ________.

A．the writer’s mother was not afraid to die at all

B．the writer’s grandpa died on that late night in June

C．Shakeena is the writer’s daughter-in-law

D．Olivia must be the writer’s mother’s grandchild
