21、Vast stretches of America are dominated by corn, nearly 100m acres of it, stretching from Ohio to the Dakotas. What once was forest or open prairie (大草原) today produces the corn that feeds people, cattle and, when made into ethanol (乙醇), cars.

Now, the nation’s airlines want to power their planes with corn, too. Their ambitious goal would likely require nearly doubling ethanol production, which airlines say would slash their greenhouse gas emissions. If they succeed, it could transform America’s Corn Belt yet again, boosting farmers and ethanol producers alike, but also potentially further damaging one of the nation’s most important resources: groundwater.

Corn is a water-intensive crop and it can take hundreds of gallons to produce a single gallon of ethanol. But as airlines embrace the idea of ethanol, prompting lobbyists (游说者) for ethanol makers and corn growers alike to push for clean-energy tax credits in Washington, vital aquifers (地下水层) face serious risks. “We’re on track to massively increase water usage without any real sense of how sensitive our aquifers are, “ said Jeffrey Broberg, who is concerned about groundwater in Minnesota. a major corn state, where he is a water-use consultant and founder of the Minnesota Well Owners Organization.   

United Airlines this veal signed a deal with a Nebraska ethanol company to buy enough sustainable aviation fuel as the biofuel is known, to power 50, 000 flights a year. In August, Delta announced a plan to create a sustainable fuel hub(中心) in Minnesota. The Biden administration could decide on its tax incentives (激励) for the industry as soon as December. “Mark my words, the next 20 years, farmers are going to provide 95% of all the sustainable airline fuel, ’’President Biden said in July.

This year a New York Times data investigation found that groundwater is being dangerously exhausted nationwide, largely by agricultural overuse. As climate change makes rainfall less reliable and intensifies droughts, rising demand for ethanol could put even more pressure on America’s fragile aquifers to be used for irrigation.

【1】What does the underlined word “slash” mean in paragraph 2?

A．Increase.

B．Decrease.

C．Maintain.

D．Transform.

【2】What is the potential risk of the increased use of ethanol in aviation fuel?

A．Decreased water usage.

B．Increased reliance on aquifers.

C．A boost in clean-energy tax credits.

D．Expansion of. corn production.

【3】What can we learn from paragraph 4?

A．Farmers will double their ethanol production.

B．The sustainable aviation fuel will not gain popularity in the future.

C．Farmers will play a major part in the sustainable aviation fuel industry.

D．The Biden administration opposes the new aviation fuel to protect the aquifers.

【4】What is the main idea of the text?

A．The Biden administration’s attitude to the corn and ethanol industry.

B．Using corn-based ethanol can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

C．Groundwater resources are being dangerously exhausted due to agricultural overuse.

D．Using corn-based ethanol in aviation may lead to increased groundwater exhaustion.

22、   The United States is offering to pay private companies to mine rocks and other resources on the moon. The U.S. space agency NASA published an official government listing for the mining proposal on September 10. NASA officials are asking interested companies to collect rocks, soil and other objects from the surface of the moon. The lunar materials would then be sold to the space agency.

NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine says the project was created “for the purpose of demonstrating that mined resources can be collected”. The proposals would not involve private companies sending workers to the moon. Instead, NASA wants the businesses to provide robots to be launched into space by the space agency or private companies.

NASA has asked companies from around the world to present proposals to collect 50 to 500 grams of lunar materials from anywhere on the moon’s surface. The companies will be required to provide images showing how the material is collected. In a statement published on a NASA website, Bridenstine said the agency’s goal was to gain control of the collected materials before 2024. He added that officials would decide later how and when the materials could be transported from the moon.

Bridenstine repeated NASA’s goal of landing the first woman and next man on the moon by 2024 as part of the space agency’s Artemis program. NASA also has set a goal of setting up a long-term base on the moon by 2028. From there, it hopes to launch a series of space operations, including possible flights to Mars.

Last May, NASA released the main ideas for what is being called the Artemis Accords. It hopes the ideas can lead to an international agreement on how people will live and work on the moon in the future. Such an agreement could give companies rights to own the moon resources they mine. For example, businesses doing work for NASA could use the moon’s water ice to produce rocket fuel, or mine lunar minerals for other purposes. “NASA’s plan to send robots to mine resources is meant to fuel a new era of exploration and discovery,” Bridenstine said.

【1】Why are NASA officials asking interested companies to collect lunar materials?

A.To buy rocks and other resources on the moon.

B.To see how the resources on the moon are mined.

C.To encourage more companies to explore the moon.

D.To show mined resources on the moon can be collected.

【2】What can we know about the requirements for collecting lunar materials?

A.The materials should be collected by workers rather than robots.

B.The companies should collect at least 500 grams of the materials.

C.The companies should provide evidence to show the process of collecting.

D.The materials should be collected from specific areas on the moon’s surface.

【3】What is paragraph 4 mainly about?

A.NASA’s moon base. B.NASA’s moon project.

C.NASA’s Artemis program. D.NASA’s flights to Mars.

【4】How can private companies benefit from the Artemis Accords?

A.They will get huge profits from the agreement.

B.It allows them to become international companies.

C.It enables them to have access to their mined resources.

D.They will have the privilege of living and working on the moon.

23、A brilliant theoretical physicist, J. Robert Oppenheimer was tapped to head up a laboratory in Los Alamos, New Mexico, as part of U.S. efforts to develop nuclear weapons. He succeeded — but would go on to advocate against developing even more powerful bombs.

Born in New York City in 1904, Oppenheimer studied theoretical physics at both Cambridge University and the University of Göttingen in Germany, where he gained his doctorate at age 23. Soon the young physicist “Oppie” rubbed shoulders with the greatest scientific figures of his age, and his academic work advanced quantum theory and predicted everything from the neutron to the black hole.

After the United States joined the Allies in 1941, Oppenheimer was asked to participate in the top-secret Manhattan Project, whose aim was to develop an atomic weapon.

On July 16, 1945, Oppenheimer and others gathered at the Trinity test site south of Los Alamos for the world’s first attempted nuclear blast. Conducted in secret, the test worked. On August 6 and August 9, 1945, the U.S. dropped two of the bombs Oppenheimer had helped develop over Hiroshima and Nagasaki. On the night of the Hiroshima bombing, Oppenheimer was cheered by a crowd of fellow scientists at Los Alamos, and declared that his only regret was that the bomb hadn’t been finished in time to use against Germany.

Twenty years after the attacks on both cities in Japan, Oppenheimer appeared in a 1965 NBC News documentary called The Decision to Drop the Bomb. “We knew the world would not be the same,” he said onscreen. “A few people laughed; a few people cried. Most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture (印度梵经), ‘Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.’ I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.”

However, Oppenheimer opposed America’s attempts to develop a more powerful hydrogen bomb. Did he really live to regret helping develop the atomic bomb? No one knows. He doesn’t come into easy categories of pro-nuclear, anti-nuclear or anything like that. He’s a complicated figure.

【1】What does the underlined phrase “rubbed shoulders with” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．Thought highly of.

B．Spent time with.

C．Taken the place of.

D．Made trouble with.

【2】What do we know about Oppenheimer according to the passage?

A．He got his doctor’s degree in the year 1930.

B．The atomic bomb he developed first struck Nagasaki.

C．He felt guilty when the bomb caused numerous deaths.

D．He was firmly against developing the hydrogen bomb.

【3】What’s the writing pattern of the passage?

A．News.

B．Fiction.

C．Biography.

D．Journal.

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A．The Controversial Man behind the Atomic Bomb

B．The Most Brilliant Physicist in the 20th Century

C．How Oppenheimer Rewrote the History of WWII

D．How Oppenheimer Developed the Atomic Bomb

24、They wear the latest fashions with the most up-to-date accessories(配饰)．Yet these are not girls in their teens or twenties but women in their sixties and seventies．A generation which would once only wear old-fashioned clothes is now favoring the same high street looks worn by those half their age．

Professor Julia Twiggy, a social policy expert，said，“Women over 75 are now shopping for clothes more frequently than they did when they were young in the 1960s．In the 1960s buying a coat for a woman was a serious matter．It was an expensive item that they would purchase only every three or four years—now you can pick one up at the supermarket whenever you wish to．Fashion is a lot cheaper and people get tired of things more quickly．”  Professor Twiggy analyzed family expending data and found that while the percentage of spending on clothes and shoes by women had stayed around the same—about 5 or 6 percent of spending，the amount of clothes bought had risen sharply．

The professor said，“Clothes are now 70 percent cheaper than they were in the 1960s because of the huge expansion of production in the Far East．In the 1960s Leeds was the heart of the British fashion industry and that was where most of the clothes came from，but now almost all of our clothes are sourced elsewhere．Everyone is buying more clothes but in general we are not spending more money on them．’’

Fashion designer Angela Barnard，who runs her own fashion business in London，said older women were much more affected by celebrity style than in previous years．She said,“When people see stars such as Judi Dench and Helen Mirren looking attractive and fashionable in their sixties，they want to follow them．Older women are much more aware of celebrities．There’s also the boom in TV programmers showing people how they can change their look，and many of my older customers do yoga to stay in shape well in their fifties．When I started my business a few years ago，my older customers tended to be very rich，but now they are what I would call ordinary women. My own mother is 6l and she wears the latest fashions in a way she would never have done ten years ago．”

【1】It can be concluded that old women tend to wear the latest fashions today mainly because___________．

A. they get tired of themselves more quickly
