21、If you'd like to learn how to bake bread, here's a wonderful place to start. This easy white bread recipe bakes up deliciously golden brown.

Makes

·2 loaves(16 slices each)

Ingredients

·1package (7g) active dry yeast (活性干酵母)

·2-1/4 cups warm water

·3tablespoons sugar plus 1/2 teaspoon sugar

·1 tablespoon salt

·2 tablespoons canola oil

·6-1/4 to 6-3/4 cups bread flour

Directions

·In a large bowl, dissolve (溶解) yeast and 1/2 teaspoon sugar in warm water; let stand until bubbles form on surface. Mix together 3 tablespoons sugar, salt and 3 cups flour. Add oil into yeast mixture, pour yeast mixture into flour mixture and beat until smooth. Put in enough remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, to form a soft dough.

·Turn onto a floured surface until smooth and elastic, 8-10 minutes. Place in a bowl, turning once. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, 1-1/2 to 2 hours.

·Punch dough down. Turn into a lightly floured surface；divide dough in half. Shape each into a loaf. Place two greased loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, 1 to 1-1/2 hours.

·Bake at 375 degrees until golden brown and bread sounds hollow when tapped or has reached an internal temperature of 200 degrees, 30-35 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.

Kitchen Tips

·Be careful that your water isn't too hot when proofing yeast.

·You can store homemade bread in a plastic bag or a bread box for maximum freshness.

23、Having a microchip implanted in a man’s brain may be common in sci-fi movie plots, but it may soon become an actual possibility.

Elon Musk -- a US tech tycoon, founder of Space X -- has been working on this technology. On Aug 28, Musk gave a display of the chip, which was implanted into the head of a pig named Gertrude. The chip, developed by Musk’s company Neuralink, is just as small as the size of a coin. But don’t let its size fool you. The tiny chip has over 3,000 electrodes(电极) attached to flexible threads(线), which can monitor about 1,000 neurons(神经元). It collects neural signals from an area of the brain, and then wirelessly transmits those signals to nearby computers, according to MSN. That enabled researchers to monitor Gertrude’s brain activity while she was walking around in the display.

Though the technology is still in its early stage, it is encouraging for humans. This technology would solve a lot of brain injuries and is essential for AI symbiosis(共存关系), which will allow the human brain to combine with an artificial intelligence. When the device can be applied to humans, its main goal will be to help those who have mobility difficulties. Musk hopes this technology can also be used to help those with hearing and eyesight issues.

Although such a device could repair those problems, putting it into practice is by no means a piece of cake. Currently, the device can transmit signals from about 500 neurons in the pig’s brain. Compared to 80 billion neurons in a human brain, this number is extremely tiny. And to cover the whole human brain also means the electrodes have to be much smaller.

Also, implanting the chip into the brain poses a potential danger. There is a risk of the immune system attacking this foreign body. Right now, the hope of controlling the brain by controlling just a few neurons seems overly optimistic. “There are still so many technological challenges, especially the possible risks it may cause, to overcome before Neuralink can put its devices to the purposes,” Yuan Lanfeng, an associate professor at the University of Science and Technology of China, told China Daily.

【1】What do we know about Elon Musk’s microchip？

A．It was inspired by sci-fi movie plots.

B．It is able to collect wireless signals.

C．It is tiny in size but powerful in function.

D．It has been implanted into a human’s brain,

【2】What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to？

A．The operation of the chip in Gertrude’s brain.

B．The attachment of electrodes to flexible threads.

C．The development of neurons inside Gertrude’s brain.

D．The transmission of signals from a nearby computer

【3】What is the major target of the microchip？

A．To monitor animals’ brain activity.

B．To help people with mobility problems.

C．To develop a cure for immune system problems.

D．To contribute to the research on AI technologies.

【4】How does Yuan Lanfeng feel about implanting the chip into the human brain？

A．Disapproving.

B．Indifferent.

C．Optimistic.

D．Concerned.

24、A lady was once heating up a pot of water on a gas stove with the intent of cooking pasta for her family for dinner.

A frog fell into the pot while it was sitting on the stove. Although it wasn’t his intention to be stuck in a pot of water, he didn’t try to escape. He was comfortable enough as he was.

The lady soon turned on the flame to begin boiling the water.

As the water’s temperature began to rise, the frog was able to adjust his body temperature accordingly, so he remained in the pot without trying to do anything to change the situation.

However, as the water approached its boiling point, the frog’s body temperature could no longer keep up. He finally tried to jump out of the pot, but with water temperature continuing to increase, he didn’t have it in him to make the leap.

It was too late for the frog to save himself.

Things don’t always go as planned in life, and they certainly don’t always go the way we want them to. But, no matter how bad a situation is, it’s important to be positive and face the problem head-on. You have to avoid wasting time and take appropriate action before problems get out of hand or become too much to handle.

【1】How did the frog feel when he fell into the pot?

A．Upset.

B．Anxious.

C．Comfortable.

D．Inspired.

【2】Why did the frog stay in the pot as the water’s temperature increased?

A．He was caught by the lady.

B．He was too tired to jump.

C．He had no time to escape.

D．He could adjust his body temperature.

【3】What can we know about the frog?

A．He didn’t make any effort

B．He failed to save himself

C．He jumped out of the pot

D．He decided to remain finally

【4】What can we learn from the text?

A．Things always go as expected.

B．We should have a positive attitude.

C．Take timely action before too late.

D．Never regret what we have done.

25、It was late, about 10:15 p.m., when Janice Esposito arrived at the Bellport train station; she jumped into her Honda Odyssey and began the 20-minute drive home to her husband and seven-year-old son. She'd just returned from visiting her mother and had traveled the route many times before. She practically________on autopilot: a left onto Station Road, then a left on Montauk Highway, and then- wham! Out of nowhere a car T-boned Esposito's minivan (小型货车)，________her to move backward some 100 feet onto the railroad tracks. She________in the minivan, bruised (撞伤) but mostly just knocked out by the________and the airbags.

As it happened, Pete DiPinto was getting ready for________. He'd just closed his book and was getting under the covers when he heard the sound of metal on metal and breaking glass coming from not far outside his bedroom window. A volunteer________ and retired teacher, DiPinto, 64, never________to think. He grabbed a flashlight and, still dressed in his pajamas, ran out the door.“Any firefighter would have done what I did," he told Newsday,“We re always on________”

The first car he came upon, 2,000 feet from his front yard, was the one that had________ Esposito. Once DiPinto concluded the driver was OK, he looked around and________Esposito's minivan positioned on the railroad tracks. And then he heard a terrible sound; the bells signaling an oncoming________.

"The gates were starting to come down," he told Newsday.“I see the headlight of the train." DiPinto ran quickly to Esposito's minivan and knocked on the driver's side window. She________looked at him, her eyes unfocused.“I don't know where I am," she said. She seemed unhurt. "Honey, you're on the railroad________,”DiPinto shouted.“We have to get you off right now!" He pulled hard on the________, but the door was crashed in and________.The heavy diesel train, traveling at 65 miles per hour, was moving fast toward them. DiPinto ran to the passenger side and threw open the________，“Please, don't let her be________,”he thought. He pushed aside the deflating (瘪了的) airbags, grabbed Esposito's arms, and________her toward him across the passenger seat until he could help her out and quickly get her to________behind a signal box a few feet away. Within six seconds, he estimated, the train crashed into the minivan.“It was like a Hollywood movie," DiPinto told reporters the next day.

But this one bad a twist. "Last night," South Gountry Ambulance chief Greg Miglino told CBS New York,“the________arrived in pajamas, not in a fire truck."
