21、Nature is full of color, from rainbows and roses to butterfly wings and peacock tails. Even the fruits and vegetables you eat have different colors: blue blueberries, red strawberries, green broccoli, and orange carrots.
Plant and animals often use color to attract attention. The substances responsible for these colors belong to a class of chemical called antioxidants(抗氧化物). Plants make antioxidant to protect themselves from the sun's ultraviolet(紫外线)light.
Ultraviolet light causes chemicals called free radicals(自由基)to form within plant cells. They can destroy parts of plant. Free radicals also have damaging effects on human beings. Some of these effects like wrinkled skin can be seen. The damage is caused by the free radicals attacking cells in our bodies. Certain cancers and heart disease are linked to free radicals.
Our bodies have natural defences for fighting off free radicals. While we are young, our defences are pretty strong. However, they get weaker as we get older. The body’s built-in defences can only go so far without extra help.
The key to fighting free radicals with fruits and vegetables is to mix and match colors. It’s like sunscreen(防晒霜)for the inside of your body. Go for a range of very bright colors. Colorful foods contain hundreds of healthy chemicals not found anywhere else.
Research into how chemicals in blueberries affect the brain's function in rats suggests that these chemicals may help our own brains work more efficiently.
Don't just blame the sun. Ultraviolet light isn't the only source of free radicals. If you breathe polluted air such as smog, automobile exhaust(废气), or wasted gas from a factory, you take in chemicals that also cause such damage. And, the body itself produces free radicals as it processes food.
【1】Which of the following NOT true?
A．Antioxidants are responsible for plant colors.
B．Plants use color to attract attention.
C．Antioxidants help free radicals to attack plants.
D．Antioxidants can protect plants from ultraviolet light.
【2】In which order do the following facts occur?
a .Wrinkled skin can be seen
b .Ultraviolet light causes free radicals to form
c .Free radicals damage cells in our bodies
d .The sun gives out ultraviolet light
A．a,b,c,d B．d,b,a,c
C．c,a,d,b D．d,b,c,a
【3】 We need extra help for fighting off free radicals from fruits and vegetables because ____.
A．our defences get weaker as we get older
B．our bodies’ defences are not natural
C．we are too young to defend ourselves
D．our bodies’ built-in defences can only go away
【4】Which of the following can NOT cause free radicals to form?
A．Ultraviolet light from the sun
B．Colorful food
C．Polluted air
D．The body itself
22、 Nate Evans of Ankeny, Iowa, got into teaching many years ago. So when his classes went remote at the start of COVID-19, he was on the lookout for ways to make children learn online effectively. One of the first things he noticed was how few students had a proper desk at home. He said students in his remote classes were often sitting on their beds or working from their family's crowded kitchen table instead of sitting at a desk.
As a woodworking hobbyist, Nate has a work section in his garage, so he bought some materials for basic wooden desks with his own money and got to work. “It's for kids who have absolutely nothing, to kids who have everything they've wanted but don't have this space because it wasn't available,” Nate said. “Somebody had to provide it and I thought, ‘Why not me?’” Once his first set of desks was complete, Nate had no trouble giving them away.
He shared his desk project on Facebook, and the members of his community suspected his intention at first, thinking he was seeking glory and wealth, but soon they understood his purpose and began sending him donations so he could build more desks. Soon, he had a whole team of woodworkers working in his garage most weekends. He's set a goal to make 2,020 desks for the 2020—21 academic year. He offers them up for free to local educators. Once they're picked up, they are distributed to kids all over his town and beyond.
Best of all, he plans to keep building desks for kids as long as they are needed. “I became a teacher to help kids,” Nate said. “I volunteer wherever I can. I feel honored to be able to do all this for the students. I want to see them learn and grow in my classroom, and I want to see them learn and grow at home too.”
【1】What made Nate come up with his desk project?
A．The children’s tough situations.
B．The online distance teaching.
C．The students' absence from class.
D．The illness brought by COVID-19.
【2】What can be inferred about Nate's first set of desks?
A．They'd been made before COVID-19.
B．They were only for the poor students.
C．He made them at his own expense.
D．He donated them to his school.
【3】What was the community members’ attitude to Nate's desk project initially?
A．Disapproving.
B．Supportive.
C．Doubtful.
D．Uncaring.
【4】Which of the following best describes Nate as a teacher?
A．Strict.
B．Proud.
C．Honest.
D．Ambitious.
23、No one would much like the idea of eating 61 pounds of tomatoes a day. But if their goodness was put into an easy-to-swallow pill that you were told might prevent strokes(中风) and heart attacks you would probably be putting in an order tomorrow.
Researchers believe they may have come up with just that after trials. The daily pill contains a chemical called lycopene which makes tomatoes red and is known to break down fat in the vessels(血管). A Cambridge University study found taking the pills improved blood flow and the lining of vessels in patients with pre-existing heart conditions. It also increased the flexibility(灵活性) of their vessels by 50 percent. The scientists believe it could limit the damage caused by heart disease—responsible for 180,000 deaths a year—and help cut the 49,000 deaths a year from strokes. They also hope it could benefit those with arthritis(关节炎), diabetes(糖尿病) and even slow the progress of cancer.
Each pill is equal to eating around 61 pounds of ripe tomatoes. Studies have shown eating a Mediterranean-style diet rich in tomatoes fish, vegetables, nuts and olive oil can significantly reduce cholesterol(胆固醇) and help prevent cardiovascular disease.
Preliminary results from a two-month trial, in which the pill was given to 36 heart disease patients and 36 healthy volunteers with an average age of 67, were presented at a meeting of the American Heart Association. It was shown to improve the function of the endothelium—the layer of cells lining blood vessels. It also improved their sensitivity to nitric oxide, the gas which causes the enlargement of the vessels in response to exercise.
Ian Wilkinson, head of Cambridge University’s clinical trials unit, said “These results are potentially very significant and it meets the goal, but we need more trials to see if they translate into fewer heart attacks and strokes.”
Further studies are planned, with researchers hoping it could offer a choice for heart disease sufferers who can not take the cholesterol-lowing drugs.
Mike Knapton, head of the British Heart Foundation, said, “Although this showed lycopene improved blood flow in people with heart disease, that’s a long way from demonstrating that taking it could improve outcomes for people with heart disease. The best way to get the benefits of a good diet is to eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables.”
【1】What can we infer from Paragraph 1?
A. We can eat too much tomato food.
B. Tomatoes are helpful to strokes and heart attacks.
C. Tomatoes will lose healthy elements were put into pills.
D. We had better not eat tomatoes.
【2】We can learn from the passage that the pills ________.
A. are at the experiment stage
B. can cure all the disease
C. are widely used among patients
D. cost patients so little money
【3】Who were the volunteers by taking part in the trial?
A. Children. B. Youth.
C. Working people. D. Old healthy people.
【4】What was Ian Wilkinson’s opinion on the trial?
A. Disappointing. B. Surprising.
C. Satisfactory. D. Terrible.
24、Taylor grew up on the coast of New South Wales, Australia and swimming in the ocean was part of everyday life. She began spear fishing and worked her way up in her early 20s to become one of very few women who were professional spear fishers and was named the Australian Ladies National Champion.
However, as she spent more time underwater, especially with the sharks, she had a change of heart. “I learned straight away that sharks are nowhere near as dangerous as the media would have us believe. And I learned that they all have different personalities—there’s the shy guy, the cross guy, and the aggressive guy; they’re all different.” From that point on, she decided, along with her late husband and world spear fishing champion, Ron Taylor, to hang up her spear and to only shoot them with her camera.
As a pioneering shark conservationist, Taylor succeeded in many firsts throughout her life’s work. She was the first person to dive with sharks cageless. The first person to test the power of a shark bite; she hand-fed a Great White and petted it. There’s nothing she wouldn’t do to help correct the false image that sharks are dangerous, man-eating beasts. Her research has become the basis for much of what we know about sharks today and she succeeded in becoming the first person to get Grey Nurse sharks protected in a specific area, the first shark species in the world to receive protected status.
When asked about what could be done to help save the sharks, and the oceans, Taylor said she was quite pessimistic about the whole thing. “Change has to come from the government level.” But she also recommended, “The thing that works the best is to get a good story and then get it on camera. Then go on television and speak to the public. Say it to the mothers, ‘Wouldn’t you like your child... when they’re old enough, to be able to see this wonderful, friendly shark?’”
【1】What sort of girl was Taylor in her early 20s?
A．Far-seeing.
B．Demanding.
C．Accomplished.
D．Environmentally-aware.
【2】What might be Taylor’s inspiration to change her heart?
A．Her desire to be rich.
B．Her understanding of sharks.
C．Her ambition for becoming rich.
D．Her marriage with Ron.
【3】Why are Taylor’s firsts mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A．To prove her great influence on shark conservation.
B．To urge the protection of sea animals.
C．To present her achievements as a female fisher pioneer.
D．To show her efforts to correct people’s false impression on sharks.
【4】What does Taylor think is a better way to protect sharks?
A．Raising public awareness.
B．Turning to experts for advice.
C．Inventing stories about sharks.
D．Relying on the government only.
