21、On November 10, China’s deep-sea manned submersible (潜水艇) Fendouzhe set a new record of 10,909 meters in the Challenger Deep located at the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific Ocean.

For deep-sea exploration, the biggest challenge is the water pressure. The Mariana Trench, completely dark and extremely low in temperature, is one of the harshest areas on Earth. At the Challenger Deep, the water pressure is around 11,250 tons per square meter, which is equivalent to 2,000 African elephants stepping on person’s back.

Another threat is the seawater itself, which could corrode electronics and batteries. Underwater communication, navigation (航行) and tracking can also be extremely difficult.

To deal with these issues, Chinese scientists spent years creating a new titanium alloy (钛合金) that is lightweight, but strong enough for the job. The green, fish-shaped vehicle is the first manned submersible that can carry three people to dive and conduct full ocean survey in the world.

But why send humans instead of robots? Yang Ning, deputy director of the Institute of Deep-Sea Science and Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that the “human touch” is important for underwater exploration.

“The ocean floor is dark and can be very cloudy due to sediment (沉淀物) and debris (废弃物), and cameras sometimes cannot detect things in these situations as effectively as human eyes,” Yang told China Daily.

In addition, humans may bring surprising discoveries, Yang pointed out. For example, on March 18, the submersible Shenhai Yongshi picked up a signal that was thought to be insignificant at the beginning. But Xie Wei, the marine microbiology expert on-board, suggested looking further into it. It turned out they had actually recorded a whale fall, an extremely rare occurrence, and the first one in the region.

【1】What is the biggest challenge submersibles face when exploring the Mariana Trench?

A．Working in complete darkness.

B．Navigating the path underwater.

C．Communicating in extremely low temperatures.

D．Dealing with the extremely high water pressure.

【2】What does the underlined word “corrode” most probably mean?

A．Improve.

B．Destroy.

C．Press.

D．Remove.

【3】What allowed Fendouzhe to operate at the Challenger Deep?

A．The use of a new navigation system.

B．The use of an advanced tracking device.

C．The cabin made of a new titanium alloy.

D．The cabin designed in the shape of a giant fish.

【4】Why are humans sent for underwater exploration instead of robots onboard Fendouzhe?

A．Robots can pick up insignificant signals.

B．Robots can’t work well on the ocean floor.

C．Humans can conduct more complex ocean surveys.

D．Humans can detect things more effectively and flexibly.

22、Malaysia is a fortunate nation when it comes to food. Food is readily available, especially in towns and cities. There are hawker stalls (小贩摊位) along streets, restaurants, and food courts. 【1】 People have the choice of eating out or cooking their meals at home. Three factors that affect the choice of eating out and eating at home are cost, convenience, and quality.

【2】 For example, buying the ingredients (食材) to cook a plate of fried noodles may cost less than half the price of a plate of fried noodles at a restaurant. Restaurants and food stalls need to make a profit. Therefore, they have to charge more than the actual cost of the food they serve.

The second factor that determines to eat out or at home is convenience. Having someone cook for you, serve you, and clean up after you, definitely makes eating out more convenient than eating at home. It saves you the trouble of having to shop for the ingredients, doing the actual cooking, and washing up afterward. 【3】 So it is no wonder that busy people prefer to eat out most of the time.

Quality is the third thing to consider when choosing between home-cooked food and outside food. 【4】 And it is more hygienic (卫生) generally. In contrast, food served at stalls and restaurants is often not prepared with such good quality ingredients as this would reduce their profit margins.

In brief, eating out is more convenient while eating at home is less costly and much healthier. Making the choice is really not that hard as it just depends on what is most important to you. 【5】 If you do not want to spend so much on food, then cooking your own meals is the better choice. Finally, if health is your most important concern, it would be better to eat at home.

A．Preparing a meal is also time-consuming.

B．If you dislike cooking, eating out is the solution.

C．A great variety of delicious food is sold in these places.

D．Eating out is more and more popular around the world.

E．It is convenient to eat out despite the high fat food.

F．Naturally, food prepared at home uses better quality ingredients.

G．In terms of cost, eating out is usually more expensive than cooking at home.

23、Fire Station No．6 in Livermore，California，houses a celebrity—a 107-year-old light bulb(灯泡)that has been on for over a million hours，earning the title of the“World’s longest continuously burning bulb”by Ripley’s Believe It Or Not!The bulb also holds the Guinness World Record．

Nobody knows why this bulb has stayed alive for so many years．Most people believe that it is due to two reasons—it has almost never been turned off and it is really well made．Its perfect seal lets no air in．keeping its carbon filament(灯丝)from burning out．

The bulb was first installed at the fire department hose cart house on L Street in 1901．In 1903 it was moved to the new Station 1 on First and McLeod，and survived the renovation(翻修)of the Firehouse in 1937．when it was off for about a week．The last time the bulb was switched off was in July l976，when it was moved to Fire Station No．6．Thousands of people watched as the electrician tried to re-attach the bulb at its new location．At first nothing happened and people thought the bulb had finally died．However，a slight touch of its switch and then，the bulb came on and has been on since．Nobody at the station dares to touch it，even to clean it．

A local reporter first discovered the bulb’s significance in 1972．He recommended his readers to go visit it if they ever went to Livermore．All of a sudden thousands of people came to Fire Station No．6 and the bulb became famous．

Needless to say，the bulb is now a big source of pride and joy for the city of Livermore．So when some folks offered to buy it，the answer from the city was“NO!”

【1】Which of the following may not be a reason for the bulb to stay alive for so long?

A．It was seldom switched off.

B．It was made of high quality．

C．Its carbon filament was special．

D．Its seal was perfect．

【2】What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A．The brief history of the bulb．

B．The problems with the bulb．

C．The main function of the bulb．

D．The location where the bulb is．

【3】We can learn from the text that the bulb _______________．

A．will eventually be owned by Ripley’s Believe It Or Not

B．is now becoming a proud symbol of the locals in livermore

C. has never been touched or cleaned in Fire Station No．6

D．wouldn’t have been discovered without the local reporter

24、It has always been thought that alcohol causes people to put on weight because it contains a lot of sugar, but new research suggests glass a day could form part a diet. Looking at past studies they found that, while heavy drinkers do put on weight; those who drink_______can actually lose weight.

A spokesman for the research team at Navarro University in Spain says, “Light to moderate alcohol intake, especially of wine, may be more likely to protect against, rather than promote, weight gain.” The International Scientific Forum on Alcohol research reviewed the findings and agreed with most of the conclusions, particularly that data do not clearly indicate if moderate drinking increases weight.

Boston University’s Dr. Harvey Finkel found that the biologic mechanisms(生物学机制)relating alcohol to changes in body weight are not properly understood. His team pointed out the strong protective effects of moderate drinking on the risk of getting conditions like diabetes(糖尿病), which relate to increasing obesity. Some studies suggest that even very obese people may be at lower risk of diabetes if they are moderate drinkers．

The group says alcohol provides calories that are quickly absorbed into the body and a enot stored in fat, and that this process could explain the differences in its effects from those of other foods. They agree that future research should be directed towards assessing the roles of different types of alcoholic drinks, taking into consideration drinking patterns and including the past tendency of participants to gain weight.

For now there is little evidence that consuming small to moderate amounts of alcohol on a regular basis increases one’s risk of becoming obese. What’s more, a study three years ago suggested that resveratrol, a compound present in grapes and red wine destroys fat cells.

【1】The passage is mainly for those__________．

A. who produce wine

B. who have a drinking habit

C. who go on a diet

D. who are eager to lose weight

【2】The underlined phrase“ in moderation” in the first paragraph means_________．

A. excitedly   B. carefully

C. frequently   D. properly

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A. Current data clearly show that moderate drinking increases weight.

B. Resveratrol is proved to increase the risk of becoming fat.

C. The research found moderate drinking has a strong protective effect.

D. The specific roles of different types of alcoholic drinks are very clear.

【4】What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?

A. How to do some easy experiments.

B. How to reduce the calories contained in wine.

C. How to prove the finding mentioned above.

D. How to make wine in a healthy way.

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。

I had moved to Arizona about two weeks before the start of my junior year of high school, so not only was this a new school for me, but also a new state and I did not know anyone.

On the first day of school at lunch after getting my meal, I sat down at a table in the courtyard. As I began to eat, I looked around at the other tables and saw another girl sitting alone, so I decided to go and sit with her. Anyway, there was no reason for me to have a whole table to myself, and who knew maybe I could make a friend. I walked to check and said, “Excuse me, do you mind if I sit with you?” She was surprised at first, but then smiled and said, “No, I don't!”

We hit it off immediately and became close friends throughout the next two years. Towards the end of our senior year, she told me that she had been accepted to an out - of - state college and would be moving away after graduation. I was sad that I would miss her but at the same time was really happy for her.

She then shared with me something very moving. “Do you remember the first day of school when you came over and sat down with me during lunch?” she asked. “Of course! Why do you ask?” I replied.

She continued, “I want to let you know how special you are and that you make a difference. I was severely depressed that day, because something unhappy had happened to me that morning. I had been being sad since the morning and nobody realized my sadness. It had just broken me down. If you hadn't appeared, I would be probably in deep sadness for a long time after I got home from school.”

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

Then, she told me something more I hadn't known before.
