21、Over the course of the pandemic (流行病), the landscape of education has greatly changed, but that hasn’t kept one brilliant girl whose dreams have never been earthbound from reaching for the stars.

While most pre-teens are facing the challenges of middle school, at age 12, Alena Analeigh has already earned her high school diploma and is set to attend Arizona State University via remote learning in May.

With a planned double major in astronomical science and chemistry, Alena’s goal is to become a NASA engineer by the time she’s 16, where she hopes to employ her extraordinary skills to build rovers (火星车) like the ones sent to Mars on missions.

“I’ll be driving one of those future space mobiles by the time I graduate from college,” she told ABC News. A distant goal, perhaps. But according to Alena’s mother, Daphne, her daughter had already set her sights on a career with the space agency when she was a little girl. “She would always say, ‘Mom, I’m going to work for NASA,’” Daphne told ABC News. “Then she would start saying, ‘I’m going to be the youngest Black girl to ever work for NASA.’”

Alena’s space journey began with her early interest in Lego building toys, from which she built complex models of everything from the Taj Mahal and the Disney castle to the Apollo 11 rover and a NASA rocket. While building Lego toys, she learned to bring her imaginations to completion. That is mainly what enables this talent to get closer and closer to her life goal, and her smart scientific mind has led Alena to be a sharp observer in other fields of life as well.

Alena sees the difference in STEM (short for science, technology, engineering and math) opportunities for women and people of color. She hopes to serve as an example to other girls — they shouldn’t let the opinions of others keep them from going after their own dreams. “It doesn’t matter what your age is or what you’re planning to do,” she told ABC News. “Go for it, dream and then achieve it.”

【1】How is Alena different from most pre-teens?

A．She attends high school via remote learning.

B．She is already qualified for higher education.

C．She has got the chance to set foot on Mars.

D．She teaches her friends to build rover models.

【2】What does Alena’s mother say about Alena’s career goal?

A．It took root very early.

B．It sounds unrealistic.

C．It was once destroyed.

D．It proves challenging.

【3】What can we learn about Alena from paragraph 5?

A．She has designed best-selling toys.

B．Her enthusiasm for Lego toys fades.

C．She likes traveling around the world.

D．Her interest prepares her for her life goal.

【4】Which of the following can best describe Alena?

A．Popular and proud.

B．Caring and generous.

C．Ambitious and inspiring.

D．Intelligent and modest.

22、   As part of our mission to inspire the next generation of scientists, inventors and engineers, the Science Museum Group (SMG) has launched an exciting new online game—Total Darkness.

Over the last year we have been developing Total Darkness with the aim of creating an experience that can have a positive impact on people’s attitudes towards STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths), as well as having a focus on self-reflection, rather than asking players to recall specific facts or concepts.

Total Darkness is a digital storytelling experience which encourages young people to recognise how the skills they use every day relate to STEM and can help them develop their confidence in science thinking. The game invites the player to solve a mysterious power cut in their hometown. The game puts players in control, allowing their choices and decisions to guide them through the story.

As the player navigates through the darkened streets of the town, equipped only with a torch, they will face various challenges. Using their curiosity, communication skills and creative problem solving, they will discover new theories about what might have caused the blackout(停电；断电). But with every step their torch fades, and the player must solve the mystery before the battery runs out.

The player’s choices and actions throughout the game will score them curiosity, creativity or communication points. At the end, the skills the player has used will be revealed along with their science style, showing how they could put their skills into action in the real world.

Total Darkness is aimed at 8-15 year-olds—an important stage in teens’ science development. Research shows that as teens make the step between primary and secondary, many move away from an interest in science as other influences have a stronger pull in their lives.

Total Darkness is a free online game playable on smartphone, tablet and desktop. Play now at totaldarkness.sciencemuseum.org.uk.

23、Have you ever tried to get your desired things at 1 a.m. in the middle of exam season? The ones that convince you to walk to Hillside in the middle of a snowstorm just for a slice of cheesecake?

Well, I have too. But instead of wanting something normal and yummy like ice cream or cookies, I’ve been longing for cauliflower. I know half of you stopped reading just now. It’s okay. Honestly, I get it. For those of you who stuck around, let’s talk vegetables.

Unlike those terrifyingly healthy food bloggers, my recent adventures in vegetables originated from an existential crisis concerning global warming. It turns out food production is one of the highest producers of the greenhouse gases that contribute to the breakdown of Earth’s ozone layer (臭氧层). And one of the simplest ways to make a difference is by eating more vegetables and less meat and cheese. So I’ve been forcing myself to eat more vegetables to convince myself that Earth can exist after 2050. And just like those terrifying food bloggers say, it has become a habit.

Now, I don’t just chow down on raw cauliflower stems for lunch. Instead, I like to dress up the vegetables, and it turns out the real trick to make them taste good is a perfect seasoning blend (调味品).

And let me tell you, I’ve become addicted to one of my own creations: olive oil, garlic salt, white pepper, and dill. The mixture is cooked at 375℉ for 20-30 minutes. This works on just about any vegetable you can roast. Plus, it’s so good it’s been proven to cause longings.

Eating responsibly is about so much more than “eating healthy.” It’s just as important to eat food you enjoy. If you crave cheesecake, eat cheesecake. If you want to opt for the more head of cauliflower, eat cauliflower.

After all, living to 2050 isn’t worth much if you aren’t happy.

24、   Until now， little research has been conducted on the association between parents' friendships and the emotional well-being of their adolescent children． A new study from researchers at the University of Missouri suggests that mothers' friendships with other adults can impact their adolescent children's relationships with their own friends， particularly the negative aspects of these relationships such as conflict and opposition．

Gary． C． Glick， a doctoral candidate at MU， and Amanda Rose， professor in the Department of Psychological Sciences， studied the development of friendships and other peer relationships during adolescence and their impact on psychological adjustment． They found that adolescents may mimic the negative characteristics of their mothers' relationships in their own peer-to-peer friendships suggesting that mothers can serve as role models for their adolescents during formative years．

"Mothers who display high levels of conflict with friends may signal to their children that such behavior is acceptable， or even standard in friendships，" Glick said． "Additional findings suggest that adolescents take for granted their reactions to their mothers' conflict with adult friends which may lead to anxiety and depression．"

Previous research of this type focused on primary-aged children， but MU researchers wanted to expand their study to focus on the formative adolescent years． Youth ranging in age from 10 to 17 and their mothers were surveyed separately to measure regarded positive and negative friendship qualities in both groups． Results showed that positive friendship qualities were not always imitated by adolescents； however， negative and unfriendly relationship characteristics exhibited by mothers were much more likely to be copied by the youth studied． "We know that conflict is a normal part of any relationship---whether it is a relationship between a parent and a child， or a mother and her friends---and we're not talking physical fights but oral conflicts，" Glick said． "But being exposed to high levels of such conflict generally isn't going to be good for children． Parents should consider whether they are good role models for their children especially where their friends are concerned． When things go wrong， parents should talk with their children about how to act with their friends， but more specifically， how not to act．"

【1】The word "mimic" （in Para.2）means ______ ．

A. succeed B. discover

C. possess D. imitate

A. how to put an end to a wrong friendship

B. how to deal with a troubled friendship

C. how to avoid any conflict with friends

D. how to establish a sincere friendship

【4】What does the new study find？ ______

A. Teens mirror negative features of mom's friendships．

B. Aggressive mothers ruin their children's friendship．

C. Conflicts and opposition form children's characters．

D. Parent-child relationship affects children's growth．
