21、Have you ever had a science class that you look forward to? It doesn’t happen often. But when you have a teacher like Mrs. Field, it’s more than a science class. It’s a science class where learning is easy and fun. There is no getting down to a huge textbook or listening to a teacher about something you don’t care about.

My experience with Mrs. Field didn’t start with science class, but with her as my tutor. I was always a weak reader and wasn’t getting any better. My parents told me I needed to be tutored. One day after school, I went into the library with my mom for my first tutoring time. I had no idea who was tutoring me. My mom practically had to drag me into the library. The first thing we did was to play a game to get to know each other and get rid of the awkwardness. We didn’t even play a reading game.

We also went around the library and I got to pick out a book I wanted to read. She didn’t make me read a boring textbook about something I didn’t care about. I didn’t even pick a book. I picked out a magazine about remote control cars. I thought to myself, how bad could it be? To my surprise, She told me even though I was reading a magazine, I was still reading. After the first magazine, she picked out a book she liked. I would read a chapter and then she would read a chapter to me, in this way I didn’t have to read for long periods of time.

As I got better and faster at reading, I was able to read two chapters in the same amount of time, which used to take me to read one chapter.

Reading is one of the most important things in high school and college to be successful. If it were not for her, I would not be the reader I am today !

【1】 The writer tutored by Mrs. Field because____________.

A. he was too shy to talk with others.

B. he found science fun but hard.

C. he was eager to learn science.

D. he lacked the skills of reading.

【2】 It can be inferred from the second paragraph that __________.

A. the writer knew Mrs. Field very well

B. the writer was unwilling to be tutored

C. the writer felt awkward to read in the library

D. the writer went to the library to play a reading game

【3】 At the library, the writer __________.

A. chose any book he was interested in

B. played a reading game with Mrs. Field

C. was asked to read one chapter after another

D. had to read textbooks rather than magazines

【4】What’s the author’s feeling about Mrs. Field according to the last paragraph?

A. unsatisfied B. worried

C. grateful     D. regretful

23、The plants grown by Wageningen University researchers in Mars-like soil back in March have been analyzed and the results are excellent: at least four of the crops do not contain harmful heavy metal levels and are perfectly safe to eat, the University researchers report.

If you’ve seen The Martian, you can remember how much Matt Damon got done living off of his poo-powered crop of potatoes. It just goes to show how important it is for a long-term colony to be able to grow their own food locally. We’ve taken one step closer to that goal in March, when Netherlands’ Wageningen University reported that they’ve managed to grow ten different crops in Mars-like soil.

However, growing food doesn’t do us much good if eating it kills us, and researchers were worried that these crops contained dangerous heavy metals like lead or cadmium(镉) from the martian soil. But future colonists are delighted, as lab analysis of the crops determined that at least four of them are safe to eat.

Led by ecologist Wieger Wamelink, the team tested radishes, tomatoes, rye, and peas. They looked at cadmium, lead, aluminium(铝), nickel(镍), copper, chrome(铬), iron, arsenic(砷), manganese(锰), and zinc(锌) contents in the plants, and didn’t find any in dangerous levels. In fact, some of these vegetables have lower levels of heavy metals than those grown in regular potting soil. The plants were also tested for vitamins, alkaloids(生物碱), and flavonoids(类黄酮), with good results. While there are six more crops to test, Wamelink himself said that the results up to now are “very promising.”

“Growing food locally is especially important to our mission of permanent settlement, as we have to ensure sustainable food production on Mars. The results of Dr. Wamelink and his team at Wageningen University & Research are significant progress towards that goal,” said Mars One co-founder and CEO Bas Lansdorp in a press release.

A crowdfunding campaign is underway (and will be until the end of August) to fund the test of the remaining crops, potatoes included. If all the crops test out safe, with concentrations of heavy metal the FDA and the Dutch Food Agency consider as safe, Wamelink’s team will host a “Martian dinner” at the Wageningen greenhouse.

But I’ve seen the movie. Stay clear of the potatoes.

【1】Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Four crops grown in martian soil have been tested safe to eat, with no heavy metals in.

B. The ability to grow food locally can ensure the permanent stay on Mars.

C. The team temporarily lack money to test the remaining six crops.

D. A “Martian dinner” will be hosted after all the remaining crops have been tested.

【2】What is Bas Lansdorp’s attitude towards the research results?

A. Neutral.  B. Indifferent.  C. Unfavorable.  D. Praiseful.

【3】The author writes the passage in order to _________.

A. prove that it is practical to grow crops on Mars in the future

B. show crops grown in martian soil are safe for people to eat

C. point out the importance of growing food locally for long-term settlement

D. report the recent research findings of the possibility of growing food on Mars

24、What Would It Feel Like to Touch a Cloud?

When characters fly or fall through the sky, they often do all sorts of crazy things to touch clouds as if the sky were made of cotton balls. 【1】 But we probably didn’t realize it at the time. “Technically, clouds are really tiny, little droplets (滴) of water that happens to be floating in the air,” said Pistone, a research scientist working at NASA to study clouds.

【2】 Let’s take examples. Have you ever walked outside on a really foggy day? The type of day that you can’t see very far. Fog is the exact same thing as a cloud. 【3】 If you don’t remember ever walking through fog, or perhaps live in a dry area where fog is not common, Pistone said it feels like walking through a very light fine rain. But not quite, because the cloud droplets are a lot smaller than the rain droplets.

Clouds do more than make rain and snow. 【4】 Black or dark clouds usually mean a storm is coming because they’re packed so full of water that light can’t pass through them. On the other hand, many clouds appear bright white because when light from the sun tries to shine through, it gets bounced around by the many suspended (悬着的) water droplets. All of this is important for scientists to study because a lot of big, white clouds help reflect heat back into space. 【5】

So the next time you see a sky full of pillow-white clouds, think about all the ways those tiny water droplets might be affecting the world around us.

A．Their color is also interesting.

B．That’s why we can see bright white clouds.

C．Why do many people like walking through fog?

D．But what would it feel like to touch a cloud in real life?

E．This means clouds on Earth play a role in climate change.

F．Believe it or not, many of us have already touched a cloud.

G．That’s because fog is just a type of cloud that forms on the ground.

25、Like many young Chinese, Zuo had been raised from a young age to be “a good student”. As long as she followed the rules and worked hard, money and success would naturally followed. Zuo had followed the instructions to the_________. She aced exam after exam, winning a place at a prestigious college inBeijing. However, when Zuo sent out a sea of job applications , She didn’t just fail to_________her preferred role; she didn’t receive a single_________.

For Zuo, the failure came as a crushing_________. Being a high flier, she was emotionally unprepared for such a setback. She struggled with anxiety for months: unable to sleep,_________ by guilt, and feeling compelled to repeatedly apologize to her parents and teachers.

But the ordeal (磨难) has left a profound impression on Zuo. The former teacher’s pet has transformed into a passionate_________of what she calls the ”good student mentality.“ In January, Zuo set up a group on Douban named “Victims of the Good Student Mentality,” and it has quickly attracted a passionate following.

“Good students” like Zuo tend to be_________vulnerable (脆弱的) to mental health issues. Successive studies have found that high achievers are more likely to_________ anxiety, depression than the general population. This is because high achievers like Zuo often excessively rely on _________ validation (认可) to support their self-esteem, leaving them unable to cope with setbacks. Over time, students __________ the externa world’s evaluation criteria as their own standard for self-assessment.

It’s clear that a diverse range of young people can__________victim to the “good student mentality.” Luckily, in Chinese education system, there is growing __________that student anxiety is a serious problem. A teacher in Shanghai, surnamed Dong, tells that “the good student mentality” is becoming ever more prevalent, with well behaved, introverted children__________seeking praise and awards as a way to __________their self esteem. If they fail to meet the school’s incredibly high standards, there’s a risk that it will trigger an emotional __________.Hence, Zuo recently wrote a welcome message offering new members some advice: “Be kind to yourself; challenge the norms; treat yourself well.“ And, most importantly:” You can be a “bad” kid.
