21、 The Hope Diamond is one of the world’s most famous jewels. It was in the possession of a series of people: kings, bankers, rich women and thieves, before its arrival 60 years ago at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.
As a rare blue diamond, it has a complex social history, to be sure. But, far more so is its geological history, researchers say in a new report. This is the first time anyone has come up with a fact-based study or model for how blue diamonds form.
The group looked at 42 blue diamonds, including one from South Africa that recently sold for $25 million in 2016. Researchers could tell where the stones were formed based on the very small minerals trapped inside.
Diamonds are a hard, clear form of pure carbon called a crystal (结晶). They form under extreme heat and pressure. Blue diamonds crystallize alongside water-bearing minerals that long ago were part of the floor of the sea. But these minerals were pushed deeper underground during the movement of the Earth’s plates.
Scientists already knew these diamonds received their blue color from the element boron (硼). The study says that boron had once been in ocean water but was eventually pushed into the seafloor rock. Over millions of years, the boron continued to move deep underground.
Many diamonds appear colorless. Often, however, they have some yellow color. Still others have a light brown, pink or green color. About 99 percent of all diamonds form somewhere between 150 to 200 kilometers underground, a far shallower birthplace than their blue relations. “These diamonds are among the deepest ever found,” Carnegie Institution for Science geochemist Steven Shirey said of the blue diamonds.
The public can see the Hope Diamond at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C.
【1】By saying the underlined part in Paragraph 2, the researchers mean the blue diamond ________.
A.was formed in extreme weather
B.has a very complex forming history
C.has a far-reaching influence in society
D.used to be very popular among rich people
【2】How could researchers know the blue diamonds’ birthplaces?
A.By observing their colors.
B.By studying their structures.
C.By referring to where they were found.
D.By examining tiny substances in them.
【3】What makes the diamonds appear blue?
A.The water. B.Extreme heat and pressure.
C.A special matter. D.The seafloor rock.
【4】What is special about blue diamonds compared with diamonds of other colors?
A.They contain several colors.
B.They form in much deeper underground.
C.They come into being in a different way.
D.They are found near the earth’s surface.
【5】What is the passage mainly about?
A.The social status of the Hope Diamond.
B.The discovery of the Hope Diamond.
C.The formation of the blue diamond.
D.The diversity of diamonds.
22、A Day in My Wheel Chair
Alex Johnson was born with a rare disorder and got his first wheelchair when he was 7 years old. When he was 11, he arranged to get a bunch of borrowed wheelchairs and then invited his teachers and fellow students to spend a day in them.
Dozens of volunteers quickly learned how complicated it was for Alex to get around the school. Balancing a lunch tray while also rolling down the cafeteria line? Super tricky. Those who participated also learned about the aches and pains Alex struggles with daily. There’s also the arduous, if not impossible, task of rolling a manual wheelchair up and down slopes.
Doors are the worst, they said, because they’re heavy and difficult to pull open from a rolling chair. And although the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) specifies that doorways need to be wide enough to allow a wheelchair and the person’s hands to pass through safely, but many doors in older buildings are just too narrow.
But making the world more accessible for wheelchair users is a public policy issue controlled by government officials, so Alex recently challenged the Tennessee House of Representatives to spend a day in wheelchairs. And 10 men and women took him up on it! For a full day, they worked at their desks and attended all their regular meetings in wheelchairs. The lawmakers had the same eye-opening experiences that Alex’s school pals had.
State Representative Clark Boyd said, “I expected it to be difficult, but I had no idea how frustrating it could be to just simply get around.”
Thanks to comparable wheelchair challenges around the world, more lawmakers are getting the opportunity to learn more about what it’s like for the millions of people living with a mobility disability. “My hope is that through my challenge we can make the world more accessible,” Alex said. “Together, we can change the world, one challenge at a time.”
【1】In what way were the students’ experiences of spending a day in wheelchairs and the lawmakers’ experiences similar?
A．Gaining a better understanding of what life is like for disabled people.
B．Learning that making the world more accessible is government officials’ work.
C．Learning how tiring it is to roll a wheelchair to move around the school building.
D．Understanding what it’s like for Alex to balance a lunch tray while in a wheelchair.
【2】In paragraph 3, the word “arduous” is closest in the meaning to “_________”.
A．compulsory
B．fruitless
C．ridiculous
D．challenging
【3】Why did the writer quote Clark Boyd’s remark?
A．To criticize the ADA for the narrow doors in buildings.
B．To show that Clark felt sympathy for wheelchair users.
C．To demonstrate that he had decided to change the public policy issues.
D．To convince the reader that lawmakers can make the world more accessible.
23、 Energy drinks aren’t technically a “food”. That’s not to trash them — it’s just a fact, and an important one at that. The Food & Drug Administration regulates all products defined as food to ensure they’re safe for human consumption. Coffee drinks and soda, for instance, aren’t allowed to be too high in caffeine in case they cause heart problems. But energy drinks are classified as supplements, which means they’re unregulated. Hence, manufacturers are free to add as much caffeine inside a single can as they please. They can even mix caffeine with other stimulants (兴奋剂) in such a way that could cause cardiovascular or nervous system problems.
That’s why physicians have been trying to investigate what the health effects of these caffeinated drinks might be. A new study showing that a single drink can diminish blood vessel (血管) function is making headlines, but similar findings have been increasing for years now.
A lot of the concern about these drinks comes from their high concentrations of stimulants. It’s entirely possible to overdose on caffeine alone, and in combination with guarana, another stimulant, smaller amounts might have severe effects. Overdosing on caffeine doesn’t necessarily result in death, but it can cause heart palpitations (心悸), nausea, vomiting, and hypertension. The WHO study also reports that adults who consume energy drinks may be increasing their risk of hypertension and type 2 diabetes.
Despite the WHO’s recommendation that caffeine content be limited per beverage, energy drinks in the U. S. are still totally unregulated and will remain that way unless they get reclassified as a food. They may not be dangerous in small quantities, but nothing about them is healthy. Switch to coffee or tea, both of which will energize you in the morning and will be much harder to overdo it with. Or you could just go ahead and work on kicking your caffeine habit for good.
【1】Why energy drinks are hard to regulate?
A．Because they contain a lot of caffeine.
B．Because they cause heart problems.
C．Because they are not categorized as food.
D．Because they are allowed to be high caffeine.
【2】What does the underlined word “That” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．A new study shows that energy drinks are harmful to humans.
B．As for now, energy drinks are not regulated in the United States.
C．Physician are going to evaluate the effect of energy drinks in the following studies.
D．Energy drinks together with other harmful ingredients could damage one’s well-being.
【3】Which of the following statements about energy drinks is TRUE?
A．Overdosing on caffeine directly contributes to death.
B．Energy drinks play a negative role on affecting people’s well-being.
C．People won’t get addicted to caffeine only by consuming energy drinks.
D．Adults’ consuming energy drinks may increase the possibility of the risk of diabetes.
【4】What’s the author’s attitude towards energy drinks?
A．Favorable.
B．Ambiguous.
C．Disapproving.
D．Indifferent.

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。
Break was almost over. Normally, I didn’t bother to keep track of Michael Peterson. I tried to ignore him. But today was Valentine’s Day, a special day for children to exchange “valentine cards” with each of their classmates. No way was I going to let him play a mean trick today.
Michael Peterson sits next to me in class. He’s also my neighbor. So I know him. And I was sure he was up to something, because he always is. Last week, he put a sign on my back that said Sing to Me! It was terrible. Sure, maybe it was funny at first, if a little confusing. Everywhere I went, people I didn’t even know started singing to me. But once I realized it was just because of the sign on my back, I was extremely angry. Michael played tricks like that all the time. So I knew what he was doing now — ruining someone’s Valentine’s Day.
I was going to stop him. But where was he? He wasn’t on the playground for break as supposed to be. “Have you seen Michael?” I asked Josh, who swung down from the monkey bars and said, “Which Michael?”
“Michael Peterson,” I said. I had forgotten about Michael Rogers, the new kid in our class.
Josh shrugged. “Haven’t seen him.” Then he grinned. “He’s probably off playing a funny trick.”
I sighed. “That’s what I’m afraid of.” I headed for the classroom. There was Michael Peterson — at Michael Rogers’ desk, digging in his box of valentine cards! “Michael, leave that box alone!” I ordered.
“Hurry and help me,” Michael said.
I stared at him in amazement. He wanted me to help him? “No way!” I said, thinking that he was stealing valentine cards from Michael Rogers’ box. Then, after watching him for a moment, I added, “What are you doing, anyway?”
