21、Detective fiction is thought to be some people’s reading choice for free time, just like science fiction and historical fiction. But it’s very special in the world of fiction itself. What makes it so is readers will have to think like a detective to try and find the truth. Because of this, it makes these books like a thinking exercise or even a sports activity.

Why is detective fiction attractive? First of all, it is interesting. The exciting stories, especially the process (过程) of solving the mystery makes readers forget about time in it. Second, readers can get lots of information and knowledge from scientific facts to reasoning (推理的) skills, and even social skills! What’s more, it trains readers’ brains to think differently and deeply. Reasoning needs evidence, so one has to do some research and check the collected materials to find a conclusion. Detective fiction helps change our way of thinking and improve our reasoning skills.

When reading detective stories, forensic (法医的) science is seen as an important tool in the stories. The tool and knowledge are used in all kinds of experiments to discover evidence from a crime scene. For example, we can know whom the blood at the crime scene is from according to forensic science. So, while reading the books, we can not only enjoy the stories, but also learn a lot about science and reasoning behind the cases.

Well, since detective fiction is so attractive, does everyone like to read it? One of my friends, Jimmy who doesn’t read detective books once shared his thoughts about them. He believes that such books should not be suggested reading because they might give birth to many young criminals (罪犯). Some people might follow the criminal acts of the characters in the book like killing. But it is unfair. Detective fiction does not teach people to carry out a crime, but just give readers a sense of right and wrong. Why don’t we look at it in a different way? And say that it actually helps us to respect the law and justice (正义) in the world.

【1】The example of “the blood at the crime scene” in Paragraph 3 shows ________.

A．solving the mystery may cost people a lot of time

B．forensic knowledge is important in detective stories

C．reading detective stories requires a lot about science

D．criminals may hurt themselves when they hurt others

【2】The writer’s friend Jimmy dislikes detective books because he thinks ________.

A．they are unattractive to him

B．stories about killing are scary

C．reading them waste too much energy

D．they may set a bad example for the young

【3】According to this passage, the writer may agree that ________.

A．detective fiction help us to build a sense of justice

B．detective stories are better than other kinds of books

C．people shouldn’t be advised to read detective fiction

D．people can’t read detective fiction without reasoning skills

22、What do astronauts eat on the space station and where does their food come from?

On October 16th, 2021, China launched（发射）a rocket and sent three astronauts (two men and a woman) to China’s space station core（核心）module Tianhe. There are more than 120 kinds of food and drinks inside. They are rich in nutrition（营养）, taste good and are easy to keep for a long time. The astronauts can also have a bite of their favorite specials.

These years, some countries have even started to grow food in space. Back in 2016, astronauts grew some plants in space, such as lettuce（莴苣） and rice. Now some astronauts are even growing peppers（辣椒） in space for the first time. Their seeds（种子）need a long time before they start to come up. Then it takes them a long time to grow. There’s one thing the astronauts will have to do in caring for the plants. They will have to transfer pollen（花粉）to the flowers. In this way, astronauts will get seeds that can grow new plants. It’s also how the peppers form. The seeds grow inside of the peppers.

The environment（环境）on the space station is quite different from that on the earth. Astronauts don’t feel good and food also tastes different. So peppers help them to eat more. The peppers are red. That might help astronauts feel better.

Space plants are also important for a trip to other planets like Mars. Astronauts would need food for staying there and for the long trip to Mars and back.

【1】China sent three astronauts to China’s space station core module Tianhe on _________.

A．October 16th, 2021

B．September 16th, 2021

C．October 16th, 2016

D．September 16th, 2020

【2】The food and drinks for astronauts in Tianhe ________.

A．have much nutrition

B．have a bad taste

C．are less than 120 kinds

D．are hard to keep for long

【3】The underlined word “transfer” in the third paragraph probably means ________.

A．cut

B．feed

C．water

D．move

【4】The peppers make astronauts feel better because they ________.

A．keep the astronauts busy with things to do

B．are red and make the astronauts feel better

C．are the first vegetables growing in space

D．make the astronauts think of their homes

【5】Which can be the best title for this passage?

A．Food for Chinese Astronauts

B．Growing Plants in Space

C．Traveling to the Space Station

D．A Big Business in Space

24、根据所给汉语或英文首字母写出短文中所缺英语单词。

The Taylors are a typical American family. Life for Cathy Taylor’s three children is very busy. On most days after school, Cathy says, “I take one of my two boys to basketball practice and my daughter to 【1】 (足球) training. Then I have to take my other son to piano lessons. Maybe I could c【2】 out a few of their activities, but I believe these activities are important for my children’s future. I really want them to be successful.”

Linda Miller, a mother of three, knows all about such s【3】. “In some families, competition starts very young and continues until the kids get older,” she says. “Mothers send their small kids to all kinds of classes. And they are always c【4】 them with other children. It’s crazy. I don’t think that’s 【5】 (合理的). Why don’t they just let their kids be kids? People shouldn’t push their kids so hard.”
