26、After four silent years, the 27-year-old British singer Adele Adkins has finally introduced herself to the world again with Hello, the opening song from her third album 25, which will come out on Nov. 20.

Although Adele is a very successful singer now, music wasn’t always what she saw herself doing. At age 10, when she saw her grandmother’s pain over the death of Adele’s grandfather, she pictured herself as a heart surgeon.

"I wanted to fix people’s hearts," she told the UK music website i-D, remembering the childhood interest she’d had in biology classes until she found out that her real talent was for singing.

Adele didn’t go to medical school, but many would agree that she still has healing(治愈) powers. "Her songs find the kind of memory every listener holds somewhere in their heart. This kind of feeling is what people have always liked in Adele," said The Telegraph. "She writes a pop diary, sharing the simple secrets of her heart."

Most successful pop stars make albums at a fast pace, but not Adele. After her second album 21 won the 2012 Grammy Award for Album of the Year, she made it clear with her label that she would spend "four or five years" making her next album. She told Vogue magazine, "I won’t come out with new music until it’s better than 21."

Instead of seeking fame, Adele remained silent and moved to the countryside. In her free time, she loved to watch TV series Teen Mom, American Horror Story, and The Walking Dead.

Living life as normally as possible is important to the singer’s art. "Nobody wants to listen to a record from someone who’s not living in the real world," Adele told i-D." So I live a low-key life for my fans."

【1】What does the text mainly tell us?

A．The popularity of Adele’s album 25.

B．The healing powers of Adele’s music.

C．The secrets of Adele’s success in music.

D．The reason for Adele’s becoming a singer.

【2】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Adele wasn’t interested in music.

B．Adele wasn’t good at music at first.

C．Music wasn’t very important in Adele’s life.

D．Music wasn’t all Adele wanted to be devoted to.

【3】Why doesn’t Adele want to make albums at a fast pace?

A．To live a low-key life.

B．To win the Grammy Award.

C．To guarantee the quality of her music.

D．To share the secrets of her heart as a musician.

【4】What can we know about Adele?

A．Her album Hello will come out on Nov. 20.

B．She has kept a diary since childhood.

C．She moved to the countryside before 2012.

D．Her works are based on real life.

27、   Israeli and Russian astronaut scientists grew the small piece of beef from cells while going aboard the International Space Station, 400 km above the Earth's surface. Cells from cattle were harvested on our planet and brought to the space station where they were grown into meat using a special 3D printer.

The experiment was run on September 26 within the Russian part of the space station and organized by Aleph Farms, a beef company on Earth.

Researchers said the project was aimed to show how lab-grown meat can be cultivated （培养）in hard conditions with minimal equipment. The technique they developed could be used to provide astronauts with hamburgers in the future.

“We are proving that cultivated meat can be produced anytime, anywhere and in any conditions said Aleph Farms' boss Didier Toubia. “We can provide a powerful solution to produce the food closer to the population's needs, at the exact and right time it is needed.

To grow the meat, scientists copied the natural process of muscle cells' regeneration occurring inside the body of cattle. It required the use of a 3D bioprinter, which sticks live cells together to create something looking like real meat.

Lab-grown meat looks and tastes like the real thing, but it is produced without the need for lots of water, feed or land for animals and without the need to kill them.

“In space, we don't have 10, 000 or 15, 000 liters of water to produce I kg of beef," Mr Toubia said. “This joint experiment marks an important step toward realizing our dream of making food safe for generations to come, while protecting our natural resources.

【1】What is the purpose of the project of growing beef in space?

A.To invent a 3D printer.

B.To show hard conditions in space.

C.To grow more plants in space.

D.To cultivate lab-grown meat for astronauts.

【2】What makes lab-grown meat different from natural meat on Earth?

A.Its taste is better. B.It is healthier.

C.It comes from best animals. D.It consumes less energy.

【3】What is Mr Toubia's attitude to the joint experiment?

A.Supportive. B.Doubtful. C.Negative. D.Worried.

【4】What problem does the passage mainly talk about?

A.How do astronauts eat in space?

B.Do plants need less water in space?

C.Are space hamburgers becoming real?

D.Is beef easier to store in space?

This Way to Dreamland

Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant, especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing. 【1】 They can seem forgetful and clumsy. They stare off into space and wander by themselves. They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.

But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history. 【2】 Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?

So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool?

First, understand that some opportunities for daydreaming are better than others. Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams. 【3】 And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you’re daydreaming, try to do it while you are involved in another task—preferably something simple, like taking a shower or walking, or even making meaningless drawings.

It’s also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate. “Mindfulness”, being focused, is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep. 【4】

Finally, you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away. Therefore, it’s a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you are in the daydream zone.

Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds.

A．Having interesting things to think about also helps.

B．Without wandering minds, we wouldn’t have relativity or Post-it notes.

C．At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.

D．Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of what’s happening around them.

E．It involves slow, steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm.

F．Daydreams are often very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand
