21、   When you think about coffee alternatives, garlic is probably one of the last things that comes to mind, but that is exactly the ingredient that one Japanese inventor used to create a drink that looks and tastes like coffee.

74-year-old Yokitomo Shimotai, a coffee shop owner in Aomori Prefecture, Japan, claims that his unique “garlic coffee” is the result of a cooking blunder he made over 30 years ago, when he burned a steak and garlic while waiting tables at the same time. Intrigued by the scorched garlic’s aroma, he mashed it up with a spoon and mixed it with hot water. The resulting drink looked and tasted a lot like coffee. Making a mental note of his discovery, Yokimoto carried on with his job, and only started researching garlic coffee again after he retired.

Committed to turning his weird drink into a commercial product, Yokitomo Shimotai spent years optimizing the formula, and about five years ago, he finally achieved a result he was satisfied with.

To make his dissolvable garlic grounds, he roasts the cloves in an electric oven, and, after they’ve cooled off, smashes them into fine particles and packs them in dripbags.

“My drink is probably the world’s first of its kind,” the garlic coffee inventor told Kyodo News.

“It contains no caffeine so it’s good for those who would like to drink coffee at night or pregnant women.”

“The bitterness of burned garlic apparently helps create the coffee-like flavor,” Shimotai adds.

He claims that, although his garlic coffee does give off an aroma of roasted garlic, it doesn’t cause bad breath, because the garlic is thoroughly cooked. And if you can get past the smell, the drink apparently does taste a lot like actual coffee.

If decaf isn’t good enough for you, and you’re in the mood for something new, you can try Yokitomo Shimotai’s garlic coffee at his shop, in the city of Ninohc, Iwate Prefecture, or buy your own dripbags for just 324 yen($2.8).

【1】Which word is the closest in meaning to the underlined word“blunder”in the second paragraph?

A.mistake B.show C.mixture D.brand

【2】Who is not suitable to drink garlic coffee?

A.A woman bearing a baby.

B.A student having trouble with sleep.

C.A cleaner working on a day shift.

D.A young lady sick of garlic.

【3】Which of the following is not characteristic of garlic coffee?

A.It is caffeine-free.

B.Garlic powder dissolves in water.

C.The burnt garlic creates bitterness.

D.It is an improvement on a garlic dish.

【4】Which of the following can be used to describe Yokitomo Shimotai?

A.venturous and greedy B.innovative and perseverant

C.hardworking and cautious D.observant and helpful

22、There is increasing alarm about the extent of microplastic pollution, which has been found everywhere from Everest to the Arctic. However, it turns out there’s an even smaller and more toxic form of plastic pollution entering remote reaches of the globe. A new study published in Environmental Research found significant quantities of nanoplastics in ice samples from both the North and South Poles.

“Now we know that nanoplastics are transported to these corners of the Earth in these quantities. This indicates that nanoplastics are really a bigger pollution problem than we thought,” study lead author Dusan Materic said in a press release.

Nanoplastics are plastics that are smaller than a micrometer in size. Their small size means they are more difficult to study than microplastics, or plastics between five millimeters and a micrometer. But they may be even more dangerous.

“Nanoplastics are very toxicologically (毒理学地) active compared to, for instance, microplastics, and that’s why this is very important,” Materic said.

Materic and his team used new methods to measure nanoplastic pollution in ice samples from Greenland and Antarctica. They sampled a 14-meter-deep ice core from the Greenland ice cap and sea ice from Antarctica’s McMurdo Sound. They found that there were an average of 13.2 nanograms per milliliter of nanoplastics in the Greenland ice and an average of 52.3 nanograms per milliliter in the Antarctic ice.

But what was even more surprising than the amount of nanoplastics in the remote ice was just how long they had sat there. “In the Greenland core, we see nanoplastic pollution happening all the way from the 1960s. So organisms in that region, despite the lack of the solid evidence, likely all over the world, have been exposed to it for quite some time now,” Materic said.

The study also looked at the types of plastic present in the samples. Half of the Greenland nanoplastics were polyethylene (PE), the kind of plastic used for plastic bags and packaging. A quarter came from tires and a fifth were polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is used for clothing and bottles.

【1】Why should researchers focus more on nanoplastics?

A．They are more important to science.

B．They are smaller but more dangerous.

C．They are easily polluted by ocean water.

D．They are more active in cold surroundings.

【2】What can we learn about nanoplastics?

A．The North and South poles are the birthplace of nanoplastics.

B．Kanoplastics have less influence on the planet than microplastics.

C．Nanoplastics found in the samples are widely used in the daily life.

D．Nanoplastics have been existing since the 1960s throughout the world.

【3】What does the underlined word ‘that region’ refer to in Para 6?

A．Greenland ice cap.

B．Antarctica’s McMurdo.

C．The south and north poles.

D．All places in the world.

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

A．Mircoplastics—proving more dangerous.

B．Nanoplastics—making its way to the poles.

C．Nanoplastics—posing a threat to people’s life.

D．Mircoplastics—setting the alarm bells ringing.

23、After being lost for three decades, this tiny deer-like species has finally been rediscovered in the forests of Vietnam. The silver-backed chevrotain — also known as the Vietnamese mouse deer — is about the size of a large rabbit. They are shy, enjoy being alone, appear to walk on the hips of their hooves (蹄) and have two sharp teeth. Chevrotains typically weigh less than 5 kilograms.

Its last recorded sighting was in 1990, when a team of Vietnamese and Russian researchers obtained a dead chevrotain from a hunter. “Then nothing. So little known about it that the species was one big question mark. For so long, it has seemingly only existed as part of our imagination,” said Vietnamese biologist Any Nguyen.

One of the biggest challenges was deciding where to start the search. After several interviews with local villagers who reported seeing a grey mouse deer, a field team set three camera traps for five months. “We had these two areas separated by quite some distance — one in the southern part of Vietnam and the other much further north,” said Andrew Tilker, Asian Species Officer at the Global Wildlife Conservation. This resulted in 275 photographs of the species. The team then set up another 29 cameras in the same area, this time recording 1,881 photographs of the animal.

Tilker also warned that just because this species was found relatively easily, it doesn’t mean it’s not under threat. “This might represent the last population or one of a handful populations, in which case we need to take action immediately to put conservation measures in place to ensure its survival.”

The team is now setting out to determine how large and stable this population of chevrotains is, assess the wider distribution of the species, and explore the threats to its survival. As part of the first-ever comprehensive survey on the species, the team began camera trap surveys in October in two additional areas. They will use all of the information that they gather to set up a project that strengthens the conservation of the species across its range.

【1】What can be learned about chevrotains?

A．They usually live in small groups.

B．They are a rare rabbit-sized species.

C．They weigh as much as an adult deer.

D．They’ve lived in Vietnam for 30 years.

【2】What did Any Nguyen’s words suggest?

A．Chevrotains became a mystery.

B．Chevrotains didn’t exist at all.

C．It was fun to hunt for chevrotains.

D．It was too late to protect chevrotains.

【3】How did the field team conduct their research?

A．By interviewing some hunters.

B．By analyzing previous studies.

C．By taking pictures of chevrotains.

D．By employing villagers as guides.

【4】What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A．The threats to chevrotains.

B．The team’s main challenges.

C．The team’s new discoveries.

D．The protection of chevrotains.

24、“Soon, you’re going to have to move out!” cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind, or at least known in my neighborhooD．

One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1．25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door．

Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren’t for the pleasure they give, it wouldn’t be worth the work．As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year．Bushes must be pruned(剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later．It was the space available in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant．A big mistake．

Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes．The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing(施肥) have turned the little plant into a tall bush．The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves．

Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is two fold（方面）：First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won．Second, I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June, but they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light．

Here I am faced with a painful small decision: To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses．Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, I’ll think about that tomorrow．

【1】What are the requirements for the healthy growth of roses?

A． Frequent pruning and fertilizing

B． Tomato plants grown alongside

C． Cages placed around the roots

D． A lot of care and the right soil

【2】The writer planted the tomato because_______．

A． there was room for it in the garden

B． it cost only $1．25

C． the soil was just right for it

D． the roses’ branches needed to be covered

【3】This year the writer’s roses were _______．

A． removed from the rose bed

B． picked along with the tomatoes

C． largely hidden under the tomato plant

D． mostly damaged by too much sunlight

【4】By saying “the prize so dearly won” in paragraph 5, the writer wants to_______．

A． show the hardship of growing the roses

B． show the difficulty in picking the tomatoes

C． express her liking for the roses

D． express her care for the tomatoes

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。

The e-mail request came in to Ekiben restaurant in Baltimore on a Thursday in March: tempura broccoli (天妇罗西兰花) topped with fresh herbs, diced onion, and fermented cucumber vinegar (醋腌黄瓜)- with a twist. The man who sent the e-mail didn’t actually want the food itself. He was writing on behalf of his mother-in-law, who adored the dish. He explained that she was now in the final stages of lung cancer at her home in Vermont and that he was hoping to get the recipe to make it for her there.

Steve Chu, one of Ekiben restaurant’s co-owners, read the e-mail and quickly replied with an alternative suggestion. “Thanks for reaching out,” he wrote. “We’d like to meet you in Vermont and make it fresh for you.”

Brandon Jones, the son-in-law, was shocked. “I e-mailed back, saying, ‘You do know that this is Vermont we’re talking about, right? It is an eight-hour drive,’” says Brandon. “But Chu responded, ‘No problem. You tell us the date, time, and location and we’ll be there.’”

For the past six years, every time Brandon’s mother-in-law visited Baltimore, the first place she wanted to go was Ekiben so she could order that one dish. As for Chu, he also kept his loyal customer in memory. “She always stood out,” he says. “She loves the food and made sure to tell us. She’s an amazing, sweet lady.”

“She had always told us, ‘When I’m on my deathbed, I want to have that broccoli,’” recalls Brandon’s wife, Rina Jones.

That Friday after work, a day after receiving Brandon’s e-mail, Chu and his business partner, Abebe, loaded his truck with a hot plate and a cooler filled with ingredients (材料).
