21、   An experimental cleanup device called RemoveDEBRIS has successfully cast a net around a dummy (仿真的) satellite, imitating a technique that could one day collect spaceborne garbage.

The test, which was carried out this week, is widely believed to be the first successful demonstration of space cleanup technology, experts told CNN. And it symbolizes an early step toward solving what has already been a critical issue: junk in space.

Millions of pieces of junk are turning around in orbit, the result of 50 years of space travel and few regulations to keep space clean. At orbital speeds, even a small bit of paint crashing with a satellite can cause critical damage.

Various companies have plans to send thousands of new satellites into low-Earth orbit, already the most crowded area.

The RemoveDEBRIS experiment is run by a company and researchers led by the U. K.’s Surrey Space Center and includes Airbus, Airbus-owned Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd. and France’s ArianeGroup.

Guglielmo Aglietti, the director of Surrey Space Center, said that an operational version of the RemoveDEBRlS technology would cast a net that remains fastened to the main satellite so the debris can be dragged out of orbit. It could target large pieces of junk, including dead satellites up to 10 meters long.

The RemoveDEBRIS satellite will conduct a few more experiments in the coming months, including testing navigation features that could help guide the satellite to a specific piece of debris.

Jonathan McDowell, an astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, said the success of this week’s experiment was exciting, but he cautioned against “over- publicizing” it.

There are still enormous barriers to clear before operational cleanup tasks are underway, he said, and the most discouraging is figuring out how to fund such projects.

Aglietti, the Surrey professor who helped lead the RemoveDEBRIS project, said “The challenge will lie in persuading the relevant authorities to sponsor these tasks.” Aglietti said he hopes RemoveDEBRIS will conduct a few cleanup tasks per year, targeting the largest pieces of junk in the most crowded orbits.

【1】What is the use of the RemoveDEBRIS satellite?

A. Demonstrating space technology.

B. Imitating a developing technique.

C. Collecting wastes existing in space.

D. Symbolizing great progress in space.

【2】How does the RemoveDEBRlS satellite work?

A. By throwing a net to take the junk from orbit.

B. By fastening it to the main satellite tightly.

C. By dragging satellites up to 10 meters long.

D. By targeting large pieces of junk carefully.

【3】What does the underlined word “sponsor” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A. Accomplish. B. Support. C. Oppose. D. Provide.

【4】What’s the best title for the text?

A. The RemoveDEBRIS Project Is Perfect

B. How RemoveDEBRIS Is Invented in the Lab

C. Why the RemoveDEBRIS Satellite Is Invented

D. Satellite Collects Space Junk for the First Time

22、   Believe it or not, 43,000,000 Americans are gardening. That is about one in six. Gardeners, of course, come in many varieties.

Abhi Arora used to be in the tech field. Like so many people, he sat at a desk all day, staring at a screen. Due to the stress of always staying indoors and in front of a computer, he started getting anxiety issues. To recharge and refresh, he visited a local garden in California. He noticed the shift in his mood, emotions, and improvement in his mental health overall during each visit.

Arora became friends and later business partners with the garden’s owner, farmer Rishi Kumar. Kumar studied computer science in college but became obsessed with plants and gardening. He now runs Sarvodaya Farms in Pomona, California. “Rishi and I met an old man who was healing himself and his son through the power of gardens. It was then that I realized that we could help others feel the same connection to the healing power of gardens,” Arora says. The two co-founded Healing Gardens, an online marketplace where people can rent their organic urban gardens or farms for use by the hour.

“I’ve always had a love for plants and wildlife, so with Healing Gardens we want to bring easy access to the wellness benefits of nature to our community and at the same time do our part in regenerating our planet,” Arora says.

Healing Gardens is based on the simple idea that most people enjoy being surrounded by plants and animals. A healing garden is a restorative outdoor space that has been specifically designed to steer the restless mind away from circling thoughts and towards the presence of the senses.

In addition to offering private time for visitors to just spend time alone in the garden or at the farm, individual hosts may also offer events and activities like yoga classes, mediation sessions, and goat petting for kids. Beautiful imagery, luscious smells, birdsongs, and more, gently invite the guest at a Healing Garden to presence.

A．More stressed.

B．More anxious.

C．More emotional.

D．More relaxed.

【2】What’s the purpose of founding the Healing Gardens?

C．Wildlife: Benefits of Nature.

D．Gardening: Power of Refreshment.

23、Every May, the capital of Canada,Ottawa will host the world’s largest tulip (郁金香) festival, flowers of amazing colors attracting more than 500,000 tourists to come and see. And in the back of this colorful festival is a moving story about friendship and peace.

During World War II, the Dutch royal family came to Canada to seek asylum. In early 1943, Princess Juliana of nine-month pregnancy was about to give birth, which posed a problem to both Canada and Netherlands.According to Canadian law, all babies born in Canada will automatically become Canadian citizens;and according to the Dutch royal succession law, prince or princess must be born on Netherlands soil in order to be recognized as a royal member. Because of this situation, the Canadian government passed a special bill.They placed the sovereignty (主权) of a maternity ward (妇产科病房) in Ottawa Civic Hospital under the Government of the Netherlands. In January19, 1943, Princess Juliana gave birth to her third daughter Margaret on“Dutch land“.

In May 1945, with the help of the Canadian Forces, Netherlands gained its victory and liberation, and the royal family returned to their homeland after several years of separation. That fall, the Dutch government presented one hundred thousand tulip bulbs to Canada to express their respect and gratitude. The following year, Princess Juliana presented twenty thousand tulip bulbs again in her own name, and requested them to be planted on the land of Ottawa Civic Hospital. And since then, Ottawa, the Canadian capital, have received thousands of tulip bulbs from the Netherlands royal family every year. To acknowledge this kindness, the first Ottawa Tulip Festival was held in 1953. And in 2002, Princess Margaret, who was born in the“Dutch delivery room”, returned to Ottawa to attend the 50th Tulip Festival.

This year’s Canadian Tulip Festival will last for 12 days (May 12 to 23). There will be over one million tulips of different colors and species blooming to their most beautiful hues (色调色彩). The Commissioner’s Park along the Dawes Lake and the Rideau Canal is traditionally the best viewing place. This year, the newly added Aberdeen Tulip Pavilion provides people with the opportunity to view the tulips indoors,so that people can enjoy this beautiful annual festival, rain or shine.

24、   Globally, people use roofs to dry out food, do their laundry and sleep. In Belfast, where we’re based, there's a culture of enjoying looking down on the city from up high, because it's in a valley. But because we were a conflict area for a long time, many people didn’t want to live, work or hang out in the city, and our roofs cape has been neglected.

Rooftop projects can be as big or as small as you want. They can be used as social or cultural spaces, for green or blue public facilities. But it's not just about commercial opportunities; it can be as simple as an individual turning his/her city balcony into a mini garden or vegetable patch. It's not just about doing it on a rooftop because it's "cool". It's about giving up the deep-rooted thought that roofs are off limits and embracing their challenges as opportunities. That can make a huge difference. For instance, we're helping turn the rooftop car park of a city central shopping centre into an outdoor space for employees, due to restrictions they now face indoors because of COVID-19.

Using rooftops creatively allows us to cope with many of the challenges faced by cities today--be those environmental, social, technological, or cultural. At the moment, we're being forced to rethink how we use public spaces due to COVID-19. With lots of restrictions on enclosed areas, we should be acknowledging rooftops as viable alternatives. For example, Rotterdam recently hosted a play that took place across its rooftops. Each roof lit up and hosted a different part of the drama, while residents sat and watched, listening to the action through headphones.

Are there any challenges? Rain is one. Also is health and safety. But there are creative and practical solutions to all the barriers we face. In fact, the challenges are what make rooftops so exciting----because they give you even more opportunities to be creative and solve problems. It is always a matter of trial and error.

【1】What matters most in taking advantage of rooftops?

A．One's own mindset(心态)

B．Geographic location

C．Commercial values

D．Individual support

【2】What does the underlined word "viable" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．Flexible

B．Specific

C．Practical

D．Multiple

【3】What will be mentioned after the last paragraph?

A．What to do with trial and error

B．Reasons for building rooftop projects

C．How to solve the mentioned challenges

D．Obstacles in the course of urban development.

【4】The text is mainly written to_________

A．advise people to start rooftop projects

B．present benefits of rooftop-based economies

C．offer solutions to long-term city development

D．introduce rooftop projects in Belfast
