21、   Five years ago, Yellow-Purple tore a flexor tendon(屈肌腱), making it difficult to use her left leg. The little penguin was having a hard time walking and swimming.

Yellow-Purple lives with a large group of African penguins at Mystic Aquarium in Mystic, Connecticut. African penguins are an endangered species. They are beautiful, black and white birds that are about two feet tall when fully grown, and they are very popular with the Aquarium’s visitors.

The staff at the Aquarium made a little support boot for Yellow-Purple from plastic. This supported her left ankle and made it much easier for her to do all the things that penguins like to do. Yellow-Purple was getting along fine with her boot, but then Dr. Jen Flower, Chief Clinical Veterinarian at Mystic Aquarium, heard about 3 D printing technology. She decided to use it to help better the boot.

Luckily, Mystic Aquarium’s Vice President of Education &Conservation, Kelly Marls, knew that Mystic Middle School had recently acquired a 3D Systems printer. Kelly reached out to the school and arranged a meeting. Sue Prince, Library Media Specialist at Mystic Middle School, and seven middle school students visited Yellow-Purple to learn what was needed, and then contacted the supplier of their 3 D printer, ACT Group.

With ACT Group’s help, the students learned how to scan Yellow-Purple’s existing foot cast, then use that data to create a more efficient boot with sculpting software. The final boot design was printed on a 3D printer using multiple materials, allowing the boot to be flexible enough for comfortable movement, yet hard enough to support the injured tendon.

The students were thrilled when they saw Yellow-Purple walking almost back to normal. It was a great way to put science into practice. Celebrities like Ashton Kutcher shared Yellow-Purple’s story on Facebook, inspiring more than 1.5 million combined views.

【1】What can we learn about African penguins?

A.They are very large in number. B.They are dangerous species.

C.They are beautiful when young. D.They are attractive to visitors.

【2】Who came up with the idea of an updated support boot?

A.The ACT Group. B.Dr. Jen Flower.

C.Kelly Matis. D.Sue Prince

【3】What preparation work was done before the students got the ACT Group’s help?

A.They reached school on time. B.They held a meeting to discuss the problem.

C.They paid a visit to Yellow-Purple. D.They contacted the ACT Group for supplies.

【4】What is the best title for this text?

A.The development of 3D printing B.A penguin benefiting from high-tech

C.An effort to put science into practice D.A software that can design

23、On a Saturday evening , I was waiting for my train and on the subway station's floor was a man just sitting there. I looked around and nobody stopped so I just went my way. After a few steps, I turned and asked him whether he needed help. He told me his house was one station further and he would only need to take the train there. So I reached for his hand to help him stand up.

He wanted to take the stairs but I feared that he would hurt himself since he seemed too weak to walk, so I asked him to take the elevator. Even though my mind was trying to turn the danger lights on, I put the thought that I should not go alone with a drunken man out of my mind and accompanied him on the elevator.

We arrived on the platform with no incidents. The man's knees seemed to soften, so I asked him to rest on a bench. While sitting there, he thanked me, telling me that I saved him. No, I said, I really did nothing; he saved himself as he walked on his own feet.

At the next station, we said our goodbyes. Before I knew it, he left 100 dollars and dashed out of the train. There was no way to give him back his money. I wanted to leave it on the seat, but a young woman who thought it belonged to me ran after me and gave me the note.

My initial reaction to getting that money was of shame and I even felt offended. Then I thought he just wanted to thank me, the best way he knew how. Now, my question is — what act of kindness shall I do with these 100 dollars?

【1】Why was the man sitting on the subway station's floor?

A．Because he wanted to go home.

C．Because he was waiting for the train.

D．Because he was drunk.

B．I thought it unsafe to go alone with the drunken man at first.

C．I accompanied the man to take the stairs.

D．A young woman ran after me and gave me the note.

24、   The world is literally a greener place than it was 20 years ago, and data from NASA satellites has revealed a source for much of this new greening phenomenon: China and India. This new insight was made possible by a nearly 20­year­long data record from a NASA instrument orbiting the Earth on two satellites.

Taken all together, the greening of the planet over the last two decades represents an increase in leaf area on plants and trees equal to the area covered by all the Amazon rainforests. There are now more than two million square miles of extra green leaf area per year, compared to the early 2000s—a 5% increase.

“China and India account for one­third of the greening, but contain only 9% of the planet's land area covered in vegetation—a surprising finding, considering the common phenomenon of land degradation in populous countries from overuse, ” said Chi Chen, lead author of the study.

“This long­term data lets us dig deeper, ” said Rama Nemani, a co­author of the new work. “When the greening of the Earth was first observed, we thought it was due to a warmer, wetter climate and fertilisation from the added carbon dioxide(CO2) in the atmosphere, leading to more leaf growth in northern forests. Now, with the data that lets us understand the phenomenon at really small scales, we see that humans are also contributing.”

China's outsized contribution to the global greening trend comes in large part(42%) from programmes to conserve and expand forests. These were developed in an effort to reduce the effects of soil erosion, air pollution and climate change. Another 32% there—82% of the greening seen in India—comes from intensive growing of food crops. How the greening trend may change in the future depends on numerous factors, both on a global scale and the local human level. For example, increased food production in India is promoted by groundwater irrigation. If the groundwater is running out, this trend may change.

The researchers point out that the gain in greenness seen around the world and led by India and China does not offset the damage from loss of natural vegetation in tropical regions, such as Brazil and Indonesia. The consequences for sustainability and biodiversity in those ecosystems remain.

Nemani is pretty excited about the findings, and not just because the greener, the better. “Once people realise there's a problem, they tend to fix it, ” he said. “In the 70s and 80s in India and China, the situation around vegetation loss wasn't good; in the 90s, people realised it; and today things have improved. Humans are incredibly adaptable.”

【1】The Earth is getting greener mainly because of ________.

A．the expanding of leaf area in tropical countries

B．the determined efforts to preserve Amazon rainforests

C．the tree­planting programmes and intensive agriculture

D．a favourable climate and increased CO2 in the atmosphere

【2】Which of the following statements may the researchers agree with?

A．The greening trend in India will continue to go upwards.

B．More “greening” means better control of climate change.

C．Land overuse threatens the success in the greening on the Earth.

D．The sustainability in global ecosystems will be greatly improved.

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

A．Prevent.

B．Survive.

C．Interrupt.

D．Balance.

【4】How does Nemani feel about the findings?

A．They are a positive indicator of overall human nature.

B．Their accuracy and reliability need to be further proved.

C．They undervalue humans' contribution to the environment.

D．Their significance for future research cannot be overemphasised.
