21、In a quiet laboratory, Noemi Procopio works carefully with her drill.
With each cut she makes into human bones, Procopio removes small amounts of material, collecting some in a tube. That precious powder holds clues to when its donor died and the person’s age at death.
Popular television shows like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation may make it seem easy to work out a person’s time of death. But many methods don’t work for remains that are mostly bare bones. It is not uncommon for analysts to reach different conclusions for the same bones, says Procopio, a scientist and molecular (分子) biotechnologist at Northumbria University in Newcastle, England.
Those difficulties inspired Procopio to look for proteins and other molecules in bones that could provide an objective, dependable way to clock time. She and her colleagues have already identified a handful of candidates. Now, the team is tracking these timekeeping molecules and searching for others in the remains of more than 100 people.
Even after someone dies, there’s still chemistry going on in the body, says Glendon Parker, a biochemist at the University of California, Davis who is not involved in the work. There are a couple of ways that proteins in bones can be used to track time, Procopio has previously found. When certain proteins fade away, one of their amino acids (氨基酸) — the building blocks of proteins - loses a certain chemical group over months to years. These missing bits can cue researchers how long a protein has been fading. Meanwhile, populations of proteins also change in composition after death.
In addition to surveying protein candidates and searching for other potential protein timers in bones, Procopio’s team is on the lookout for other types of molecules. Together, these molecular clues may give researchers a more accurate and detailed picture of exactly how long a body has been dead and in what sort of environment.
Procopio hopes to eventually incorporate the markers she finds into a computer model that estimates time since death.
【1】Why is the television show mentioned in paragraph 3?
A.To tell us that show is very interesting.
B.To prove how important Procopio’s research is.
C.To attract more people to watch the TV show.
D.To show that it’s not very hard to track the time of death.
【2】What is the relationship between Procopio and Parker?
A.They are colleagues.
B.They work in the same group.
C.They are doing the same research.
D.They may not be related.
【3】What can we know from paragraph 6?
A.Procopio’s team is trying to find the time of death more accurate.
B.Procopio’s team has already found more molecules to identify the environment of death.
C.Procopio’s team is looking for other protein clues in different organs.
D.Procopio’s team is searching for more molecules to replace their findings.
【4】What can we infer based on the passage?
A.Procopio’s research is based on some television shows.
B.The chemistry in our body never disappears after death.
C.We may use a computer program to figure out the time of death in the future.
D.Proteins can provide accurate information about the surroundings of death.
22、Three boys and three girls boarded a bus to Lauderdale, Florida, dreaming of golden beaches. When the bus passed through New Jersey, they began to notice Vingo, who sat in front of them, dressed in a plain, ill-fitting suit.
Deep into the night, the bus pulled into Howard Johnson Restaurant, and everybody got off except Vingo. He sat rooted in his seat, and the young people began to wonder: perhaps he was a sea captain, a runaway from his wife, an old soldier going home.
Shortly after a snack, they went back to the bus and one of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself.
After a while, slowly and painfully, he told his story. He had been in prison in New York for the past four years. Last week he was released from imprisonment and now going home.
“When in prison I wrote to my wife,” he said. “I told her that I was going to be away a long time, and that if she couldn’t stand it, she could just forget me; I’d understand. We used to live in Brunswick, and there’s a big oak tree just as you come into town. Last week, I wrote her again. I told her that if she’d take me back, she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree, and I’d get off and come home. If she didn’t want me, forget it and I’d go on through.”
She told the others, and soon all of them were in it, waiting for the approach of the great oak tree. Then, suddenly, all of the young people were up out of their seats, screaming and crying, doing small dances of joy. The oak tree was covered with yellow handkerchiefs, 20 of them, 30 of them, maybe hundreds, a tree that stood like small flags of welcome flying in the wind. As the young people shouted, Vingo rose and made his way to the front of the bus to go home.

23、With jeweled pins in her hair, a sweeping red silk robe(袍子)dropped over her gauze(薄纱)sleeves, and a long-layered skirt, Beijinger Xin Nan looks like she’s just stepped out of a dynasty hundreds of years in the past. She’s not even on a movie set.【1】
Xin Nan is wearing Hanfu or Han clothing, which has traditionally been the dress choice for a few aficionados(爱好者)on important Chinese holidays such as the Mid-Autumn Festival and Lunar New Year. But these days, the Hanfu movement has grown to become a subculture seeking to revitalize(使……复苏)pre-Qing Dynasty(1644-1911)clothing.【2】, finding its way onto the New York and Paris Fashion Week runways and featuring in Vogue magazine.
【3】. It’s estimated that China now has over three and a half million Hanfu enthusiasts. Today, walk down any street of any major Chinese city or visit a park, and it's not uncommon to see a group of girls in these elegant flowing robes taking selfies.
【4】. The number of Hanfu merchants on the e-commerce platform Taobao grew threefold between 2015 and 2019. According to a report by iMedia, in 2019, Hanfu sales in China were worth 4.52 billion yuan($695 million).
Despite COVID-19 restrictions, Hanfu festivals have been flourishing, which is keeping Xin Nan busy. Last October, she took part in Beijing’s Jingyun Hanfu festival, and this coming May, she’ll be a judge at Chongqing’s first-ever Hanfu festival.
To Xin Nan,【5】; rather, it’s a way of life. “I think Hanfu has a special charm. When I’m wearing it, I feel I’ve returned to that dynasty,” she said. She explained that it inspires her with a sense of elegance and grace. “The moment I put on Hanfu, that’s how I'll behave.”

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。
Daniel, a young architect, had recently moved to a new city for a promising job opportunity. Although excited about his new life, he found it difficult to adjust to the busy pace and distance from his family, particularly his younger brother, Vincent. Growing up, the two brothers had been inseparable, sharing a close bond despite their six-year age difference. Daniel had always taken on the role of Vincent’s protector and friend, guiding him through the ups and downs of childhood and adolescence, and supporting him in his pursuits.
One evening, after a particularly challenging day at work and feeling homesick, Daniel received a phone call from his mother. She told him that Vincent had been struggling with school and his personal life, and she believed that he needed his older brother’s guidance now more than ever. Feeling a sense of responsibility and concern for his brother, Daniel decided to take some time off work and return home for a surprise visit.
Upon arriving in his hometown, Daniel was greeted with a sense of nostalgia (怀旧) and familiarity. He immediately noticed the changes that had taken place in Vincent’s life during his absence, as well as the undeniable signs of his brother’s distress. Determined to help, Daniel took Vincent under his wing, spending hours talking and reconnecting with him. Together, they revisited their favorite childhood spots, looking back upon the happy memories they had shared and the lessons they had learned together.
Through their conversations, Daniel discovered that Vincent had been facing significant academic pressure and was struggling with feelings of loneliness and isolation. The once-confident and outgoing teenager now seemed lost and unsure of himself. As the brothers continued to spend time together, they openly discussed their fears and aspirations, strengthening the bond they had always shared, and finding comfort in each other’s company.
