21、The best way to explore a new world is to land on it. But there are a few places in the solar system that we will never understand. One of them is Jupiter.

Jupiter is mostly made of hydrogen and helium gas（氦气）. 【1】 There’s no outer crust（地壳）to break your fall on Jupiter. The big question is: Could you fall through one end of Jupiter and out the other? It turns out that you wouldn’t even make it halfway.

【2】 So make sure you bring plenty with you to breathe. The next problem is the high temperatures. So you also need an air conditioner. Now, you’re ready for the journey.

As you enter the top of the atmosphere, you’ll be traveling at 110,000 mph under the pull of Jupiter’s gravity. But brace（顶住）yourself. You’ll quickly hit the denser atmosphere below, which will hit you like a wall. It won’t be enough to stop you, though. After about 3 minutes, you’ll reach the cloud tops 155 miles down. 【3】 Jupiter rotates（旋转）very fast, which creates powerful winds. About 75 miles below the clouds, you reach the limit of human exploration.

However, let’s say you could find a way to go even farther. You will uncover some of Jupiter’s grandest mysteries. But, sadly, you’ll have no way to tell anyone. 【4】

At 13,000 miles down, you reach Jupiter’s inner layer. Here you’ll be left free-floating in mid-Jupiter, unable to move up or down. 【5】 You might survive down here if you’re in a spacecraft. We may never see what’s beneath those majestic clouds, but we can still admire this mysterious planet from afar.

A．You will have no way to escape.

B．So trying to land on Jupiter is a bad idea.

C．Can we send the spacecraft to land on Jupiter?

D．The first thing is that Jupiter’s atmosphere has no oxygen

E．Here, you’ll experience the full impact of Jupiter’s rotation.

F．So, trying to land on it would be like to land on a cloud on Earth.

G．Jupiter’s deep atmosphere absorbs radio waves, so you’ll be shut off from the outside world.

23、Over the past decade, drug-resistant (抗药性) diseases have appeared as a major health threat. But where do they develop the drug resistance? One surprising theory: they may have developed the resistance on farms, and not in hospitals.

The crop protection products farmers use to control many plant diseases are almost the same as the drugs doctors use to treat infections, including fungi (真菌). Fungi are continually mutating (变异), and with a life cycle measured in days or weeks, they mutate quickly. When a mutation produces resistance to a chemical–killing fungi, fungi will jump to any host that provides a welcoming environment, such as a human body. And if the treatment for the fungal infection involves a drug similar to the fungicide (杀菌剂) met on the farm, fungi may develop quickly in the human body—just as they did in the field.

An obvious solution is to use less fungicide in the field. Reducing fungicide use would not only slow the development of the drug resistance, but it would also help restore diversity to the fungal world. Fungicides are a must in the farming community. Plant diseases cause a major problem for farmers globally—in some crops, disease can reduce harvests by more than 70 percent—and failure to deal with the problem can mean financial ruin.

Just like fungi—or, indeed, any living thing—plants continually evolve(进化). This is how natural gene editing (基因编辑) works, and without it, we’d all still be single cells in a salty soup. Through natural selection, almost any plant will eventually produce resistance to fungi. But this can take centuries, so we don’t have the time to wait.

On the other hand, advances in genetics have given us an understanding of nature’s gene editing process in plants, helping us develop resistance to a disease. Gene editing techniques can then enable us to produce disease resistance－just as nature would do, if given enough time.

【1】What can we infer about fungi from Paragraph 2?

A．They can treat infection sometimes.

B．They don’t stop developing new forms.

C．A human body is their favorite place.

D．There are no fungi in the fields now.

【2】What does the writer indicate in Paragraph 3?

A．Using fungicide leads to a win-win situation.

B．Stopping using fungicide is a cure—all in agriculture.

C．Reducing fungicide helps farmers make more money.

D．Using fungicide is in a dilemma between drug resistance and crop harvest.

【3】What makes a plant produce resistance to fungi?

A．The survival of the fittest.

B．Advances in technology.

C．The use of farm chemicals.

D．A welcoming environment.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A．Ways to Prevent Drug-resistant Disease

B．The Source of the Drug Resistance

C．The Popularity of Gene Editing Techniques

D．The New Theory of Natural Selection

24、   It was a Sunday and the heavy storm had lasted all night. The morning after the storm, though, was beautiful: blue skies, warm air and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently.

My father realized it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him. I was only 14 and fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to go all the same. I’m so glad I did.

On the road to the harbor we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbor itself was in fairly good shape. After all, it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny channel to the sea. As we got on board, we noticed two big humps(脊背) in the distance.

On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby. We couldn’t believe it ——there aren’t any whales along the coast here. The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay, in which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive.

The little baby whale——actually as big as our boat——was obviously stuck and could not move. The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly, making big whirlpools(漩涡) and waves.” She’s trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side, my father said. At this point, my father moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side and ,heading the boat towards the baby whale, pushed it gently. With our several   gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water. it swam up right beside its mum. They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction.

We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay channel. Slowly, they let us lead them, sometimes rising from the water right beside us to breathe——and to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes. Once they hit their first part of clean water flowing straight from the sea, the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.

In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a half. That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day. Nearly four decades later ,I still look back fondly to that golden day at sea.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

My dad, George, only had an eighth grade education. A quiet man, he didn’t understand my world of school activities. From age 14, he worked. And his dad, Albert, took the money my dad earned and used it to pay family expenses.

I didn’t really understand his world either: He was a livestock trucker, and I thought that I would surpass (超过) anything he had accomplished by the time I walked across the stage at high school graduation.

Summers in the mid-70s were spent at home shooting baskets, hitting a baseball, or throwing a football, preparing for my future as a quarterback on a football team. In poor weather, I read about sports or practiced my trombone (长号).

The summer before my eighth grade I was one of a group of boys that a neighboring farmer hired to work in his field. He explained our basic task, the tractor fired up and we were off, riding down the field looking for weeds to spray with chemicals. After a short way, the farmer stopped and pointed at a weed which we missed. Then we began again. This happened over and over, but we soon learned to identify different grasses like cockleburs, lamb’s-quarters, foxtails, and the king of weeds, the pretty purple thistle. It was tiring work, but I looked forward to the pay, even though I wasn’t sure how much it would amount to.

At home, my dad said, “A job’s a big step to growing up. I’m glad you will be contributing to the household.” My dad’s words made me realize that my earnings might not be mine to do with as I wished.

My labors lasted about two weeks, and the farmer said there might be more work, but I wasn’t interested. I decided it was not fair that I had to contribute my money.
