21、It was such an extremely freezing day that I decided to get a cup of hot drinking first after work. As my colleague, Ricky, and I were making our way to a coffee shop, I noticed an old gentleman rather poorly dressed sitting on a bench nearby. Obviously he was frozen, seemingly one of the homeless or someone like that.

We joined the line and waited to be served. Ricky handed the server a twenty-dollar bill, ordered three cups of hot coffee, and gestured the sever to give one to the old gentleman outside on the bench as a favour. The server looked at Ricky, a little perplexed, without full comprehension of the request. Afterwards, there was a wonderful exchange between the server and the old man in need of some attention. I only wished I had taken a photo of the smiles on the both faces.

As I was thinking about this event later on, I wondered to myself why Ricky didn’t perform this act of kindness himself. I suspect that deep down in his heart he was hoping that this act of kindness might inspire others to do something for this old man as well. Absolutely beautiful!

There are many ways of thinking when we met someone as the old man in need of kindness and attention. Perhaps he needs a little helping hand and thanks God for my colleague who inspired the others to goodness as well. Oh, by the way, the last words Ricky told the server was,

“There go I, but for the Grace of God.”

【1】What was the author’s impression of the old gentleman?

A. He was a greedy man

B. He took on a sign of poor manners.

C. He was in poor health.

D. He needed some kind of human care.

【2】The underlined word “perplexed” in the second paragraph probably means “   ”.

A. annoyed B. confused

C. embarrassed D. determined

【3】Why didn’t Ricky give the favour to the old gentleman himself?

A. He didn’t know the old gentleman.

B. He was too shy to speak to strangers.

C. He tried to influence others to be kind.

D. He feared the old man would refuse his help.

【4】What the author really thinks absolutely beautiful is that .

A. an act of kindness could go widespread

B. a cup of coffee could warm the old man

C. the server was very kind to customers

D. Ricky had created a good impression

22、Schools across Britain are being asked to take part in a research project known as Teensleep to stagger (错开) their start times to suit the different biological clocks of children, with 10-year-olds starting at 9 am and 15-year-olds starting at 10 am. Scientists believe that the body’s circadian rhythm (生理节律), which determines sleep-wake patterns over 24-hour periods, varies with a child’s age and that an earlier school start time for all students is not in the best interests of older children. “The research project will sign up 100 schools as part of the biggest study yet into the role that school start times play in the health of students,” said Paul Kelley of the University of Oxford.

“The natural change in the biological clock to later in the 24-hour cycle is particularly obvious in the 14 to 24 age group. The change in the biological clock continues in later middle age, when people usually go back to the naturally earlier start time they felt comfortable with when they were 10-year-old children,” Dr Kelley said.

“By the time you are 18, 19 or 20 you are suffering on average two hours of sleep loss a day and that is increasing so that at the end of the week you have suffered 10 hours of sleep loss. It has a hugely damaging impact on the body,” Dr Kelley told the Seience Festival in Bradford.

“Students lose more sleep than doctors working a 24-hour shift during every school or university week... Schools are starting at any time they choose. There is no justification and no study suggesting that starting earlier is better,” he said. “Most people wake up to alarms because they don’t naturally wake up at the time they go to work, so we are a sleep-deprived (睡眠不足) society and this age group, 14 to 24, is more deprived than any other group of society,” he added.

【1】What’s the aim of the research project?

A．To determine the sleep hours of children.

B．To suit the different biological clocks of children.

C．To change the start times of the schools across Britain.

D．To study the influence of school times on students’ health.

【2】Which of the following statements might Dr. Kelley agree with?

A．24-year-olds start school the latest.

B．The older students are, the later they start school.

C．The change in the biological clock doesn’t happen in later middle age.

D．An earlier start time suits both the later middle age group and 10-year-olds.

【3】What has a great bad influence on the body?

A．Work on weekends.

B．The pressure of study.

C．More and more sleep loss.

D．The earlier school start time.

【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A．Schools always start earlier.

B．Students are most sleep-deprived.

C．Students are more stressed than doctors.

D．Sleep deprivation has become a worldwide problem.

23、School is tough enough as it is, but distance learning presents a whole new challenge. Many students struggle to focus on their homework when they study at home, as online courses call for self-discipline (自律). 【1】

Motivate (激励) yourself. Think about how traditional classroom settings motivate students to get their work done: deadlines written on a whiteboard, friendly reminders and suggestions from teachers, and group study sessions with classmates. 【2】 Write down your deadlines and get in touch with your classmates to study together and quiz each other online.

【3】 You’re not the only one to struggle with online learning, so don’t be afraid to get in touch with your teacher and classmates with any questions you might have. Similarly, remember your teacher and classmates might reach out to you with questions as well. Respond to their messages in a timely manner to keep open lines of communication.

Find a good study spot. Houses are full of distractions (分散注意力的事物)—especially if you’re in no mood to study. Set yourself up for success by reducing these distractions and creating an environment where it is easy to do schoolwork. 【4】 Leave your phone in another room in order to avoid temptation (诱惑) from social media or online games.

Use what you have. One of the many benefits of online learning is having endless Internet resources. 【5】 Be familiar with study resources and open education sites, and then use them to add to your studies and quiz yourself before exams. Online classes might require more self-discipline than classroom learning, but that hard work will surely pay off.

A．Manage your time.

B．Be ready to ask all the questions.

C．A short break is also necessary for online learning.

D．You can also use these helpful methods in your own home.

E．Many of them might help you understand your studies easily.

F．Keep up with your online schoolwork with these tips for success.

G．If possible, find a quiet place away from your housemates, family members and TV.

24、No matter how exciting space exploration sounds, there’s a vital point about it that needs to be considered: food supplies. Right now, astronauts typically rely on dry food in airtight bags and cans, since there are strict weight limits on items taken into space. Foods that we take for granted, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, are out of the question for space explorers.

For those who’ve attempted to grow food during space missions, they’ve faced many difficulties, including the absence of gravity, and a lack of soil, air and humidity (湿度). However, as Shane Topham, an engineer with Space Dynamics Laboratory at Utah State University in the US, told NASA, “Growing food to supplement and minimize the food that must be carried to space will be increasingly important on long-duration missions.”

Great efforts have been made to explore the concept of space farming. Recently, a team led by Federico Maggi at the University of Sydney in Australia figured out how plants can absorb nutrients from human urine (尿), as reported by New Scientist on March 27.

After over 20 years of experiments, the results suggested that human urine could supply three to four out of the six nutrients that plants need. The researchers also found out that urine-fertilized plants produce no harmful by-products, such as carbon dioxide or ammonia (氨).

According to New Scientist, human urine is 95 percent water, with the other 5 percent composed of nutrients which are harmful to the human body but not to plants. The advantage of this urine-fueled life support system is obvious: By recycling liquid waste and producing food, an efficient cycle will be created.

And most importantly, said New Scientist, the duration of space missions will be greatly extended to “20 years of flight”, meaning we may be soon sending astronauts on missions to Mars, or even beyond.

【1】Space farming is important mainly because ________.

A．food brought from Earth goes bad easily during space flights

B．it will keep astronauts busy when they are on long-term space missions

C．it could provide fresh food and reduce the need to bring food from Earth

D．it’s a way for astronauts to learn more about the environment in space

【2】What can we learn from the University of Sydney research?

A．Human urine is harmless to plants.

B．Human urine provides six necessary nutrients for plants.

C．Urine fertilizer is safer and more productive than chemical fertilizer.

D．Urine-fertilized plants only release a small amount of carbon dioxide.

【3】What is the biggest advantage of using human urine for space farming, according to New Scientist?

A．It could pave the way for long-term space flights.

B．It does little harm to the environment in space.

C．It will greatly reduce the cost of farming in space.

D．Urine-fertilized plants are healthier and taste better.

【4】What’s the text mainly about?

A．The significance of space farming.

B．A possible new way to grow food in space.

C．How to use human urine to produce food in space.

D．Problems facing astronauts on long-term space flights.

25、Every act of kindness starts with something small, something we all can and should do every single day. I’m Will Ruhio, one of the ________ of BYUtv’s Random Acts show. We take hidden cameras to unexpected places to ________ random acts of kindness.

We’ve ________ acts ranging from building disabled-friendly equipment for those who are badly ________ it but can’t afford it to returning a lost wallet.

On Random Acts, it may be a neighbour or a colleague who recognizes a need and ________ an unbelievable chain of reaction of service. ________ the story of Emmalene Meyers for example. Like many young girls, Emmalene was ________ to be a ballet dancer, but her physical disability makes even everyday tasks a(n) ________ . Instead of seeing a limitation, Emmalene’s friend Lily ________ an opportunity. Lily imagined Emmalene’s dream being brought to life onstage and persuaded Random Acts to help make her plan ________ .

So, where can you start? The key is to be like Lily: look for an opportunity to make a ________ to those in need, and then take action to make it happen. Being ________ and involved in service is ________ like any other goal you want to achieve. You have to ________ it.

After two seasons of hosting Random Acts, the joy of ________ burdens and brightening lives doesn’t gradually disappear. I sometimes ________ Random Acts might lose its feature eventually, but that couldn’t be further from the ________ when I finally meet the people.

We’ve been working to ________ and see their true shock and appreciation. It ________ me in the feels every time. I cry more than anyone else on the show.

26、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Are you sick of going to bed late and waking up tired? Then grab your hiking boots and a tent. A new study suggests that a couple days of camping in the great outdoors can reset your circadian (昼夜节律的)clock and help you get more sleep.

The circadian clock, more commonly known as the body clock, is an internal system that tells our bodies when it's time to go to sleep and when it's time to wake up. Scientists track this clock by measuring the amount of melatonin(褪黑激素)circulating in a person’s blood at any given time. In a healthy sleeper, melatonin levels rise a few hours before bedtime, stay high through the night, and then settle back down when it's time to wake up.

In our modern society, however, most of us stay up many hours past sunset and would probably sleep in many hours after sunrise if we could. And the trouble is that your melatonin levels may still be high when your alarm clock goes off in the morning, which leads to grogginess(头晕眼花). It may also have other health consequences as well, such as diabetes(糖尿病), overweight problems and heart disease

Professor Kenneth P. Wright of the University of Colorado in the US wanted to see if our body clocks can be reset by a short stay in nature. His team recruited (招收)14 physically active volunteers in their 20s and 30s. Nine went on a weekend camping trip, while the other five stayed home. At the end of the weekend, the researchers reported that in just two days, the campers' body clocks had shifted so that their melatonin levels began to rise more than an hour earlier than they did before they left on the trip. By contrast, the body clocks of the group that stayed home shifted even later over the course of the weekend. 'This tells us we can reset our clocks fast, ' Wright said.

Therefore, if you want to change your sleep patterns you could try to increase your exposure to natural light during the day and decrease the amount of artificial light you see at night.
