21、   If humans were truly at home under the light of the moon and stars, we would go in darkness happily, the midnight world as visible to us as it is to the vast number of nocturnal(夜间活动的) species on this planet. Instead, we are diurnal(白天活动的) creatures, which explains what we’ve done to the night: We've engineered it to receive us by filling it with light.

The benefits of this kind of engineering come with consequences—light pollution. Light pollution is largely the result of bad lighting design, which washes out the darkness of night and completely changes the light levels and rhythms to which many forms of life, including, ourselves, have adapted. Wherever human light spills into the natural world, some aspect of life is affected.

In most cities the sky looks as though it has been emptied of stars, leaving behind a vacant haze(霾) that mirrors our fear of the dark. We've grown so used to this orange haze that the original glory of an unlit night—dark enough for the planet Venus to throw shadow on Earth—is wholly beyond our experience.

We've lit up the night as if it were an unoccupied country, when nothing could be further from the truth. Among mammals alone, the number of nocturnal species is astonishing. Light is a powerful biological force, and on many species it acts as a magnet(磁铁). The effect is so powerful that scientists speak of songbirds and seabirds being 'captured' by searchlights on land or by the light from gas flares on marine oil platforms.

Frogs living near brightly lit highways suffer nocturnal light levels that are as much as a million times brighter than normal, throwing nearly every aspect of their behavior out of joint, including their nighttime breeding choruses. Humans are no less trapped by light pollution than the frogs. Like most other creatures, we do need darkness. Darkness is as essential to our biological welfare, to our internal clockwork, as light itself.

Living in a glare of our making, we have cut ourselves off from our evolutionary and cultural heritage—the light of the stars and the rhythms of day and night. In a very real sense, light pollution causes us to lose sight of our true place in the universe, to forget the scale of our being, which is best measured against the dimensions of a deep night with the Milky Way—the edge of our galaxy—arching overhead.

【1】What is probably the best title of the article?

A.Powerful light. B.Orange Haze.

C.Calls of Nature. D.Disappearing Night.

【2】What does 'it' (Paragraph 1) most probably refer to?

A.The sky. B.The planet. C.The world. D.The night.

【3】The author speaks of frogs and birds to _________________.

A.show how light pollution influences animals

B.compare the living habits of both species

C.explain why certain species has died out

D.provide examples of animal protection

【4】We can infer from the last paragraph that ________________.

A.human beings mustn't explore the night

B.light pollution harms the world’s eyesight

C.man should rethink its position in the universe

D.light pollution has destroyed some world heritages

22、   China’s Tianwen-1 spacecraft, in orbit around Mars’ has dropped its lander and rover (巡视器), named Zhurong after a Chinese god of fire, completing the most dangerous stage of its ten-month mission.

This is China’s first mission to Mars, and makes the country only the third nation to have landed a spacecraft there. It included an orbiter, a lander and a rover—making it the first to send all three elements to the planet.

“The mission is a big leap for China because they are doing in a single go what NASA took decades to do,” says Roberto Orosei, a planetary scientist at the Institute of Radio Astronomy of Bologna in Italy.

At a speed of 4.8 kilometers per second, the spacecraft departed Earth in July 2020 and arrived at Mars in February 2021, but the landing was the biggest test yet of China’s rising outer space exploration capabilities.

Landing on Mars is extremely difficult, because engineers back on Earth have no control over it in real time, and must leave pre-programmed instructions to carry on. Many missions have been lost, or have crashed on arrival.

Utopia Planitia, where Zhurong now sits, is a wide, flat area in a vast basin that formed when a smaller object crashed into Mars billions of years ago, “If the researchers are really fortunate, they might find some very ancient rocks, which could offer a window into our own planet’s history,” says Joseph Michalski, a planetary scientist at the University of Hong Kong, “Most of the similar evidence here on Earth has been destroyed by plate tectonics (板块运动).”

Zhurong will also be the first rover equipped with an instrument to measure the magnetic field (磁场) nearby. The instrument could provide insights into how Mars lost its strong magnetic field, an event that transformed the planet into a cold, dry place, uninviting to life.

A successful Mars landing could motivate more-advanced Chinese missions—including a sample-return one, which is planned to take place by 2030.

【1】What makes Tianwen-1 mission unique?

A．Its multi-task in one try.

B．Its long completion time.

C．The danger of the landing.

D．The speed of its spacecraft.

【2】Why is it so hard for the spacecraft to land on Mars?

A．The landing ground is not flat.

B．Instructions are too complicated.

C．It may crash into smaller objects.

D．Engineers have no live control over it.

【3】What can researchers learn according to Joseph Michalski?

A．More of the Earth’s history.

B．The formation of vast basins.

C．The discovery of ancient rocks.

D．The destruction of evidence on Earth.

【4】What’s the text mainly about?

A．Zhurong landed on Mars successfully.

B．Zhurong measured Mars’ magnetic field.

C．Tianwen-1 spacecraft orbited around Mars.

D．Tianwen-1 spacecraft returned to the Earth.

23、As a senior, my future is always on my mind. To be exact, thoughts of the future have kept me up countless nights and made me worry enough to do poorly on more than one test. Because of this, words of wisdom are a source of comfort. Steve Jobs gave a speech to Stanford’s graduating class in 2005 and his words resound repeatedly in my mind whenever I think about my future.

It wasn’t always like that, though. It started when I became a junior, when college came into view. It’s the first big step to making your life your own. So when Jobs discussed his life as a student, some fears were eased. He, too, felt the need to attend college to make something of himself. He faced what many are extremely afraid of: uncertainty. His lack of understanding caused him to stop attending college and focus on what he felt was important. His story had a happy ending, of course, since he certainly turned out well.

This doesn’t mean that students shouldn’t attend college, but rather that they shouldn’t worry so much. You’ll get where you need to go, even if your path is a bit more winding (蜿蜒的) than you’d like.

Jobs talked about the hardships in his work. His love of his work helped him carry on and he got where he was meant to be, which restates the point: don’t panic.

One particular part of his speech stayed with me. Steve Jobs quoted (引用) the saying “Stay hungry, stay foolish” and it has become my motto. Staying foolish is realizing that you are still a fool, no matter how much you’ve learned or experienced. There is always more to explore. Staying hungry is wanting to find those things about which you are still uneducated.

Steve Jobs’s level of success is attainable, and I aim to prove that. With the will power to go into the world living every day like it’s my last and allowing the future to take care of itself, I will do great things. In the last moments of my life,   I’ll be proud of what I have done and hope to have all the wisdom a person could wish for.

【1】The author felt worried when _________.

A．he had to take tests at school

B．he thought about his future

C．he had lots of sleepless nights

D．he searched for words of wisdom

【2】It is suggested in Paragraphs 1 and 2 that _________.

A．Steve Jobs didn’t attend college

B．Steve Jobs failed because of his decision

C．the author is a college student

D．the author cares much about his future

【3】What did the author gain from Jobs’s speech?

A．Courage to drop out of school.

B．Confidence in defeating Jobs.

C．Interest in computer industry.

D．Bravery to face uncertainties.

【4】What did NOT Steve Jobs encourage students to do in his speech?

A．Have the desire to learn more.

B．Be content with what they know.

C．Stay calm in the face of hardships.

D．Be modest so as to learn more.

【5】The passage is mainly about _________.

A．the wisdom drawn from a speech

B．the most impressive quote in life

C．a memorable meeting with Jobs

D．an experience of a speech
