21、To reduce the carbon emissions from passenger jets and long-haul trucks, a vast volume of soy-based renewable fuel will be needed. To produce it, American farmers could ruin existing cornfields to clear space, plant millions of additional acres of soybeans and shut down all soybean exports. Researchers at startups and biotech giants alike have found ways to create a new kind of soybeans through genetic recombination that generates more oil.

One of the startups, ZeaKal Inc., funded in part by seed giant Corteva Inc., plans to introduce its first batch of high-oil seeds for commercial planting in 2024. Scientists have tricked the plant into sustaining photosynthesis for longer with genetic recombination, ultimately producing more oil as well as more protein.

Companies are racing to build more capacity to process soy, a critical component for expanding green fuel supplies. Tax credits make companies in the transportation industry switch to fuel with lower carbon emission. S&P Global sees domestic demand for renewable biofuel reaching 4 billion gallons in 2030, up from around 2.7 billion this year. It projects that the use of sustainable aviation fuel will total 1.7 billion gallons annually by the end of the decade, compared with just 182 million gallons a year now.

Despite the bullish predictions, the soy-based transportation fuel market is still a drop in the bucket for the fuel industry. And even if the new breed of high-oil seeds takes off, widespread adoption will take time. Farmers may be reluctant to become early adopters of a technology that hasn’t yet proven its benefits, especially if the oil content comes at the expense of existing genetic recombinations that improve disease or pest resistance.

Chicken producer Perdue Farms Inc. has signed a deal with Zeakal, agreeing to pay farmers a higher price for harvested supplies of the new variety, which is good for chicken feed because of its higher protein levels. If large oil companies follow suit, the soybean market might never look the same. “We could have an opportunity for the oil component of soybeans to actually become more important in some markets than the protein aspect,” says Mike Dillon, vice president of ZeaKal, “That’s a very dramatic shift.”

【1】How did researchers plan to produce more oil?

A．By planting more soybeans.

B．By banning soybean exports.

C．By fertilizing soybean fields.

D．By engineering soybean genes.

【2】What does the author want to show by mentioning the figure in paragraph 3?

A．The continuous use of the fuel.

B．The growing demand for biofuel.

C．The serious lack of green fuel supplies.

D．The fierce competition between companies.

【3】Who can change the current biofuel market according to the last paragraph?

A．Companies.

B．Farmers.

C．Scientists.

D．Governments

【4】Which can be the best title of the text?

A．Biofuel: A New Way to Cut Down Carbon Emissions

B．Oilier Soybeans: Possible Reliance of the Future Fuel

C．A Big Shift: From Conventional Soybeans to Altered Ones

D．Genetic Modification: A Technology to Breed New Soybeans

22、   One day, 12-year old Sean Redden logged on to the Internet and went to a popular chat room. Just as he was about to sign off, he saw the name of someone he'd never seen there before, Susan. Her brief message was “Would someone help me?”

Sean typed back, “What's wrong?” A moment later he received this message, “I can't breathe. Help me! I can't feel my left side. I can't get out of my chair.”

At first, Sean thought pretending to be paralyzed (瘫痪) was a bad joke. Then he wondered what if she really was sick. “Hey, Mom,” he called. “There's a kid here who's sick or something.” Sharon looked at the computer screen. “It's not just some game, is it?” she asked.

The message was not a joke. “Susan” was actually a 20- year- old student, working late at night at a college library near Helsinki, Finland-almost 7, 000 miles away from Sean's home in Texas. While searching the Internet, she began to feel terrible pain all through her body. The library was silent and empty. The nearest phone was outside in the hallway. She couldn't move that far. Any movement caused the pain to get worse. Then she realized she might get help on the Internet.

“I don't think it's a joke, Mom,” Sean said. And he typed, “Where are you?” After a long pause (暂停), the letters appeared: “Finland.” Sean and Sharon couldn't believe it. Not knowing what else to do, Sharon called the local police.

Sharon explained the situation to Officer Amy Schmidt. Schmidt told Sharon to try to get the sick girl's phone number. Texas police called the international telephone operator and asked to be connected to the proper agency (机构) in Finland. The call was connected to a nearby rescue station. The Texas police gave Susan's address to the Finnish operator. When Sean heard that, he typed, “Help is on the way.”

In a few minutes, Susan heard people running down the hallway outside the door. Suddenly, the door opened. Emergency workers and three policemen ran in. Susan turned once more to the computer, “They are here. Thanks. Bye-bye. ”

Four days later, the police in Texas received message from officers in Finland: “Thanks to her Internet friend, Susan had received medical treatment she badly needed and is doing well.”

23、   For the first few months of 2021, Mars was crowded with new “visitors” from Earth. First, it was the UAE Space Agency’s Hope, followed by the Chinese Tianwen-1. The name comes from the long poem Tianwen, written by Qu Yuan, a great poet of ancient China. In Tianwen, this name conveys China’s steady effort in pursuing truth and culture of exploring the universe.

The Tianwen-1 rover landing has orbiting, landing and roving (巡视) components—the first mission to include all three on its first attempt. Landing on Mars is extremely dangerous. It requires entering the atmosphere at very high speeds, then slowing down before landing. As to Tianwen-1, a heat shield (防热护罩) protected the spacecraft during the fiery (燃烧的) landing, after which the mission safely parachuted (使空降) down to the Utopia Planitia (乌托邦平原). The landing platform fired small, downward-facing rocket engines to slow down during the last few seconds.

China’s Mars rover, called Zhurong after an ancient Chinese fire god, sent back images of the surface of Mars captured by a camera on its front, which functions as an “eye” to detect barriers and get around them. The Utopia Planitia, where Tianwen-1 landed, has long been believed to contain vast amounts of water ice. Zhurong will first and foremost study Martian soil and atmosphere and search for signs of water ice, which suggests the existence of life.

Tianwen-1 is China’s first interplanetary (行星间的) mission. Meanwhile, China is working with Russia on a sample-return mission scheduled to launch in 2024. China is open and inclusive in the development of its space technology to build a community with a shared future for mankind.

【1】Why was China’s “visitor” to Mars named Tianwen?

A．To emphasize the value of exploring Mars.

B．To arouse readers’ interest in reading classics.

C．To illustrate the long history of writing poems.

D．To show China’s constant struggle in space exploration.

【2】Which of the following contributed to the safe landing on Mars?

A．The heat shield on the spacecraft.

B．The camera on the front of Zhurong.

C．The flat landscape of the Utopia Planitia.

D．The rocket engines above the landing platform.

【3】What is the primary target of Zhurong on Mars?

A．To build a shared future for mankind.

B．To look for signs of life on the red planet.

C．To push the boundaries of space exploration.

D．To inform people of our achievements in space.

【4】What can we learn from the text?

A．China is the first country to land a rover on Mars.

B．China is confident of the existence of life on Mars.

C．Tianwen-1 proves joint efforts matter in space research.

D．Tianwen-1 marks the start of China’s interplanetary exploration.

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。

Several years ago, I was living in New York and working for an airline (航空公司), so I never got back home for Christmas. My Christmas was happy too with some other workmates around. But in my heart, I was sad because I couldn’t stay with my family. Sometimes my workmates would say our Christmas was filled with tears. But this Christmas was different. I was lucky. I had the whole day off, which meant I could stay with my family on Christmas Eve.

When Christmas morning came, I woke up with a small hand touching my face. “Dad, Merry Christmas!” was all my younger son had time to say. He seemed to be racing against time. I knew he was hunting for gifts with his brother eagerly. I got downstairs just to see the two little boys’ faces as they looked at the pocket rockets Santa Claus had left to them. I realized that the real Christmas was for the children who had deep belief in the amazing power of Santa Claus. At first, their fingers went almost shyly over their toys. When their inspection (检查) had been completed, the two boys ensured that the gifts were really delivered by Santa Claus and they dragged everything into the center of the living room.

Joy filled the room. As their mother began giving out gifts, I smiled to myself, wondering how my unexpected gifts this year would be received. With so many Christmas spent outside, I had prepared so many gifts for my children. Together with my wife, I hid them in several secret places.But the children were excellent detectives (侦探) and they found all of them. They were happily opening packages thanking Santa Claus for his kindness and ability to know their desires. But I had not received a single gift. I knew they had forgotten my existence with my absence from their Christmas these years.
