21、Lam Hon-ming, director of the State Key Laboratory at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, is a top expert in soybean (大豆) research. Since 1998, Lam’s team has been cooperating with scientists in Chinese mainland. In 2010, he came across Zhang Guohong, an agricultural expert from Gansu, China, at a national soybean conference. With the same major, they hit it off and decided to improve farmers’ lives and promote local agriculture.

Farmers in Gansu depend largely on the weather for their livelihood, mainly on rainfall, which is also a cause of severe poorness in the area. In 2016, they developed three new soybean varieties suited to salty soil and rare rainfall of Northwest China. All received official government approval.

As the land in Northwest China is not suitable for the growth of common varieties of soybeans, local farmers never planted soybeans, and it became a major problem for spreading new soybeans. Lam and Zhang increased communication with farmers through various ways. To ensure farmers’ income, Lam struck a partnership with a Hong Kong food company that will purchase all soybeans at market price when they are harvested.

By 2020, the planting area of the three approved soybeans in Gansu had gone beyond 2.4 million square kilometers, covering 46 of the province’s 80-plus counties, and the output had reached 7.71 million kilograms, adding about 30 million yuan to local farmers’ income.

Zhang said that Professor Lam’s contribution has greatly pushed the poorness relief and agricultural research in Northwest China. “It is hard to keep doing agricultural research with less funding. And it is more difficult to travel from Hong Kong to the poor areas of the Northwest to do agricultural research,” he added. In the future, Lan will continue to work with mainland scientists and lead more “Hong Kong power” into the development of the country’s Northwest.

【1】What can we know about the two scientists from Paragraph 1?

A．They are friends since 1998.

B．They both major in agriculture.

C．They once served in the same lab.

D．They met by chance in Hong Kong.

【2】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A．Rainfall is not enough.

B．The locals lived a poor life.

C．Little land is rich in nutrition.

D．The farmers never planted soybeans.

【3】What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?

A．More work needs to be done.

B．All farmers become better-off.

C．The two scientists are successful.

D．Soybeans grow throughout Gansu.

【4】Which of the following can best describe Lam Hon-ming?

A．Dependent.

B．Honest.

C．Open-minded.

D．Devoted.

22、The surface of Mars is etched (蚀刻) with ancient river valleys and lake basins,Some re searchers think that liquid water once flowed on the Red Planet. Today, Mars is too cold for much, if any,liquid water to exist, And 3.8 billion years ago,when the flowing water formed, the sun was fainter than it is today, making it even harder to imagine a warm Martian climate, That’s why many researchers think Mars may have gone in and out of deep freezes,

Some researchers have suggested that early Mars only melt when large asteroid (小行星) impacts or volcanic eruptions temporarily warmed the planet.But Kasting, a geologist at Pennsylvania State University thinks warm windows from such dramatic events would have been too brief to carve the vast valleys that exist on Mars .Now, Kasting and his colleagues have come up with an alternative explanation: They think Mars may have experienced a series of climate cycles caused by changes in the strength of the greenhouse effect.

The idea goes like this: When Mars was cold and frozen volcanoes continued to erupt the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide and hydrogen into the atmosphere.There, the gas blanket trapped heat and warmed the planet up until liquid water began to flow,forming Mars rivers and lakes. However, warm temperatures and abundant water would also have sped up certain chemical reactions that consumed carbon dioxide,mitigating the greenhouse effect and cooling the planet back down again.Then the cycle would repeat.

Kasting shared his theory with other astronomers at the December meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco, and in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters. So far, Kasting’s team has only shown that such an explanation is possible.But the researchers say field trips could help test the idea by looking for evidence of multiple warm events, and their duration.

【1】What made researchers believe that liquid water once existed on Mars?

A．The color of the planet,

B．The natural climate of Mars

C．The temperatures of the sun.

D．The geological features of Mars

【2】What is Kasting’s theory based on?

A．Large asteroids had no impact on Mars.

B．Volcanic eruptions were very frequent on Mars

C．Vast valleys couldn’t be formed in a short period of time.

D．Carbon dioxide and hydrogen were abundant in the atmosphere

【3】What does the underlined word “mitigating” in paragraph 3 mean?

A．Imitating.

B．Reducing.

C．Predicting.

D．Enhancing.

【4】Which of the following might confirm Kasting’s theory?

A．The future Mars missions.

B．The publication of the journal.

C．The design of the climate model.

D．The cooperation with astronomers.

23、Rivers play an important role on the earth, and we can't imagine what the earth would be like without rivers.   【1】

With a length of 6, 650 kilometers, the Nile is the longest river in the world. The Nile River has been the source of human civilization since ancient times. The Nile has two main branches—the White Nile and the Blue Nile. The White Nile starts from the Great Lakes region of East and Central Africa through Lake Victoria.【2】 The Blue Nile carries with it a lot of fertile soil which turns out to be very important to farming in Egypt.

The Amazon River is the world's largest river with a width of about 40 kilometers during the rainy seasons but about 10 kilometers wide when it is not flooded. The Amazon River has such a big water volume that it accounts for(占.....比例) more than 20% of all the world’s fresh water—far more than any other river. 【3】The main Amazon River flows mostly through Brazil and Peru but its tributaries can also be found in many other countries.

【4】It has a depth of about 250 meters. Its length is 4, 700 kilometers. The sources of the Congo River are in the highlands and mountains in the Eastern Africa Rift Valley. It's the second largest river in terms of water volume. 【5】The Congo River basin(盆地) is the catchments(流域，集水区) area of the Congo River. It lies in both north and south of the Equator, making its flow very stable as there are always some tributaries experiencing a rainy season at any time.

A．Some of them are worth mentioning.

B．The Congo River is the world's deepest river.

C．Do you know which is the deepest river in the world?

D．The Blue Nile originates from(发源于)Lake Tana in Ethiopia.
