21、   If you’re looking for someone to make a realistic, three-dimensional (3D) portrait of your pet cat using felted wool, you’ll have a tough time finding someone better than Wakuneco, a Japanese artist who started creating needle felt art back in 2015. Using different colored wool, this artist creates life-like cat portraits. Just have a look at what she can do with a needle and wool thread.

Looking at some of the cat portraits created by the talented Japanese artist, it’s hard to believe they are made of felted wool and not taxidermy (动物标本剥制术) masterpieces. To achieve this level of realism, which translates as “frame cat”, Wakuneco spends hours on end poking wool with a needle to create solid layers that imitate cat fur, applying realistic glass eyes and finally adding the whiskers. After everything is just as she wants, the 3D portrait is framed and sent to the owner who ordered it.

Losing a beloved pet is never easy, but Wakuneco’s realistic cat portraits — made using photographs of real cats as a reference — help owners deal with their loss. And while not all of her customers are owners looking for something special to remember their pets, many of her portraits are ordered as a means of copying.

Wakuneco currently offers her amazing wool felting skills through Yahoo Auctions, but only to Japanese customers. However, after photos of her amazingly detailed portraits spread quickly online, she did express her intention to start taking international orders in the near future. In the meantime, you can admire her amazing creations on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, and watch videos of the creative process on YouTube.

For more amazing felted wool artworks, check out the creations of Gardenia Miru and Terumi Ohta, two other very talented Japanese artists, as well as the felted wool animal portraits of Dani Ives.

【1】What does the author mean by saying the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1?

A．No one can do better than Wakuneco.

B．Wakuneco is too busy to be visited or invited.

C．It’s hard for you to get along well with Wakuneco.

D．You’ll find many other skillful persons like Wakuneco.

【2】What do we know about the 3D cat portraits?

A．They’re widely considered as taxidermy masterpieces.

B．Their eyes are made of felted wool in most cases.

C．They’re made by modeling the pictures of authentic cats.

D．Their fur is taken from animals no longer alive.

【3】What can be learned from the last two paragraphs?

A．Dani Ives’s wool animal portraits are gaining in popularity.

B．Only the Japanese can buy Wakuneco’s artworks for the time being.

C．Wakuneco decided to show her creative process on Twitter.

D．Wakuneco is unsure about selling her artworks internationally.

22、Sending human travelers to Mars would require scientists and engineers to overcome a range of technological and safety obstacles. One of them is the enormous risk posed by particle radiation from the sun, distant stars and galaxies.

Answering two key questions would go a long way toward overcoming that: Would particle radiation pose too serious a threat to human life throughout a round trip to the red planet? And, could the very timing of a mission to Mars help protect astronauts from the radiation?

In a new article published in the journal Space Weather, an international team of space scientists with researchers from UCLA, answers those two questions.

That is, humans should be able to safely travel to and from Mars, provided that the spacecraft has adequate shielding (防护) and the round trip is shorter than approximately four years. And the timing of a human mission to Mars would indeed make a difference: The scientists determined that the best time for a flight to leave Earth would be when solar activity is at its peak, because the most dangerous and energetic particles from distant galaxies are deflected (偏移) during solar maximum.

Imaginably, the average flight to Mars takes about nine months, so it is reasonable that a human mission could reach the planet and return to Earth in less than two years,according to Yuri Shprits, a UCLA research geophysicist and co-author of the paper.:

“This study shows that although space radiation imposes (追使) strict limitations on how heavy the spacecraft can be and the time of launch, and it presents technological difficulties for human missions to Mars, such a mission is viable,” said Shprits, who also is head of space physics and space weather at GFZ Research Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam,Germany.

【1】What are the two questions about?

A．Getting rid of the technological obstacles.

B．Making astronauts return from Mars safely.

C．Protecting astronauts from particle radiation.

D．Launching the spacecraft to Mars in shielding.

【2】Which decides the time when humans fly to Mars?

A．The distance to stars.

B．The length of the round trip.

C．The size of particles.

D．The degree of solar activity.

【3】What does the underlined word “viable” in Paragraph 6 mean?

A．Challenging.

B．Workable.

C．Rewarding.

D．Affordable.

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A．Two Questions, a Help to Humans?

B．Particle Radiation, an Obstacle to Mars?

C．Travelling to Mars, an Impossible Mission?

D．A Round Trip to Mars, Technological Advance?

23、   The true Olympic spirit has been displayed by Canadian cross-country ski coach Justin Wadsworth, who helped Russian athlete Anton Gafarov with his broken ski during the Men’s Sprint Free Semifinals.

Gafarov’s start wasn't smooth. He fell three times, crashing early in the race and breaking his ski. It was clear that Gafarov was out of the race for the men's finals and wouldn't be able to compete for medals. Still, he wanted to finish in front of the home crowd. but his left ski was too badly damaged in the crash and its base had come off. The Russian skier faced finishing the race by walking to the line, not skiing.

However, the Russian's fall was seen by Canadian coach Justin Wadsworth, who immediately ran on to the course and helped Gafarov. “I went over and gave him one of Alex Harvey's, a member of the Canadian team who didn’t qualify for the finals. It was about giving Gafarov some dignity so he didn't have to walk to the finish area,” Wadsworth said. “We help because we know everyone works so hard in our sport,” says Wadsworth, who was an Olympic skier for the S before becoming a coach. “Everyone wants fair results. It was a matter of allowing Gafarov to finish the race.”

Gafarov was thoughtful about his performance. “My fall cost me a broken ski and a pole,” said Anton Gafarov, adding that he decided to continue fighting for the finals despite all the difficulties.

Gafarov believed the race should be finished in any way possible. “It was a matter of principle to hold on to the end,” he added. He is not devastated (毁灭) by his failure and is eager to take part in the next Winter Olympics despite back problems due to injuries.

【1】What happened to Gafarov during the Men's Sprint Free Semifinals?

A.He dropped his ski in the unlucky crash.

B.He gave up the race after falling three times.

C.He lost the gold medal for the men's finals.

D.He had his ski broken in the early race.

【2】What do we know about Wadsworth

24、Since 1936, many female space explorers have followed Russian astronaut Valentina Tereshkova. Let’s look at the missions（任务）of four important female astronauts to find out what astronauts do in space.

In 1983, Sally Ride became the first American women in space. Her team carried out scientific experiments in space and put two communications satellites in space. Satellites make it possible for us to communicate instantly with each other across the world through TV, radio, and telephones.

In 1984, Kathryn Sullivan became the first American women to walk in space. During her mission, she discovered important information about the sun’s energy and how it affects the climate in very hot and very cold places on Earth. She also took photographs of Earth and measured air pollution.

In 1992, Mae Jemison became the first African-American in space. During her mission, she did scientific experiments using the weightless atmosphere. In space, there is no gravity, so everything floats! Dr. Jemison’s experiments gave important information about the human body to produce better medicines and healthcare.

In 2012, Liu Yang became the first Chinese women in space. She did experiments in space medicine, which look at how astronauts can survive and stay healthy in space. The conditions in space are very hard on the body and space medicine helps astronauts work safely.
