22、Pa went to the city to look for work.

Every night, I lie awake in bed and wait for the train to stop. Wait to hear the sound of his work boots dropping on the step by the kitchen door. Every night, the train goes by for someone else’s pa coming home. Not mine, not yet. Every night, I go to sleep with the sound of train wheels in my head, whispering, “Maybe tomorrow, maybe tomorrow. ”

The smell of coffee wakes me. I run into the kitchen. There he is. Pa lifts me onto his shoulders and pretends to stagger from my weight. “You’ve gotten so big as a horse. I can hardly lift you up anymore. ” He puts me down, and I stare at the two bags on the table. One says FLOUR, the other, SUGAR.

Ma says, “I’m going to bake a pie for your pa’s homecoming dinner. Go down to the cellar Jimmy, and bring me that jar of apples from the shelf. ” She smiles at me with a “mind now” look. There’s no need. Don’t I know it’s the very last jar on the shelf?

I take the steps two at a time, not bothering to hold on to the wooden rails. I stand on tiptoe to take down the preserves. I put both my hands around the jar. I can hear Pa laughing upstairs and Ma joining in. I want to be with them in the kitchen. I hurry up the steps, and my bare foot catches on the middle one. I put out my hand to steady myself, but I fall down, the jar slipping through my fingers. The jar smashes on the hard-as-rock mud floor. Bits of apple fly everywhere.

Ma’s footsteps, Ma’s voice: “Are you hurt?” She checks me for cuts. “Go on upstairs now. Mind you don’t cut your bare feet. ” I want her to yell at me, but that’s all she says.

Upstairs, Pa wipes my eyes with the tail of his shirt. “Never mind, old son, accidents happen. ” I bury my face in Pa’s torn old jacket. I smell the miles he’s walked looking for work to bring us those bags on the table.

“I’m going to bake my mama’s sugar pie.” Ma says, “It’s a special-occasion pie, and it doesn’t need apples. ” “I’ve always wanted to taste sugar pie. ” Pa says.

23、According to the Ministry of Health, 260 million Chinese people have chronic（慢性）diseases, and 85 percent of all deaths in China are caused by such diseases．Among them, cardiovascular（心血管的）disease has bothered more people than any other kind of chronic disease．

According to the WHO（World Health Organization), salt consumption（消耗）, one of the key causes of high blood pressure that can lead to cardiovascular disease, is much higher in China than in other countries．

Douglas Bettcher, the director of the WHO’s Tobacco Free Initiative, says, “The average Chinese person consumes about 12 to 14 grams （of salt) per day, while the suggestion of the WHO is consumption of less than 5 grams per day．High salt consumption is a major cause of cardiovascular disease and high pressure in China．

Changing the way that food is prepared could reduce salt consumption in China．

Another major risk factor in China is smoking．Dr Michael O’Leary, a representative of the WHO, says, “We know already that one million deaths in China are related to smoking, This is an enormous number．It means that we are seeing nearly 3000 deaths a day in China, or two deaths every minute, related to smoking．

According to O’Leary, about 26 percent of men who die from smoking-related diseases in China die before the age of 60．People who can still contribute a great deal, in other words, are dying too young．

China has tried to ban smoking , but more efforts are needed．

More than half of chronic diseases are preventable by changing lifestyles and reducing risks．The four key risk factors are: smoking, diets high in fats, salt and sugar, environments that prevent physical activities, and alcohol consumption．These are the areas on which efforts to make changes need to concentrate．

【1】Which of the following is more in China than in other countries?

A．The amount of salt consumed

B．The number of deaths caused by high blood pressure．

C．The number of people with cardiovascular disease．

D．The number of people with high blood pressure．

【2】According to the WHO, how much salt should a Chinese person consume?

A．About 12 to 14 grams per day．

B．Less than 5 grams per day．

C．About 17 to 19 grams per day．

D．About 7 to 9 grams per day．

【3】Why does O’Leary mention “26 percent of men” in Paragraph 6?

A．To show China needs to try to ban smoking．

B．To show smoking causes the deaths of elderly people．

C．To show smoking causes the deaths of too many young people．

D．To show the number of smoking-related deaths in China is large．

【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．There are four causes of chronic diseases．

B．The change in lifestyles can prevent some chronic diseases．

C．No smoking or alcohol means no chronic diseases．

D．If we do physical activities, we will have no chronic diseases．

24、Quantities of harvests of corn and other major crops count on a mysterious phenomenon known as hybrid vigor (杂交活力). When highly naturally-born varieties are crossed, their next generations are taller, hardier, and bear more grain. Researchers report that this vigor is somehow influenced by microbes (微生物) in the soil, perhaps through a plant’s immune system.

Charles Darwin was one of the first researchers to describe hybrid vigor. In the early 20th century, biologists began to apply this effect to agriculture by creating naturally-born parent plants that produced hybrid seeds. By the 1940s, almost every farmer in the United States was planting hybrid corn, and the harvests multiplied. Biologists have proposed several theories about the cause of hybrid vigor, but no definitive explanation has emerged.

Maggie Wagner, plant biologist at the University of Kansas, and her colleagues wondered whether microbes might be involved. Last year. Wagner and her colleagues found an interesting clue in a field study. They discovered that the leaves and roots of hybrid corn had microbial communities that are different from those living on naturally-born varieties of corn. “Something about being a hybrid makes a plant interact differently with microbes,” Wagner says. It could be that the naturally-born corn’s immune systems react more actively to helpful microbes, compromising their growth. Alternatively, hybrid plants may be better able to defend against weak pathogens (病原体) in the soil.

Wagner says the finding highlights the need for plant growers to match the hybrid crops to the microbial communities with which they live. The findings help scientists realize the importance of understanding the role of soil microbes in making agriculture more productive and sustainable, “This holds great promise.”

【1】How did people use the effect of hybrid vigor in agriculture?

A．By producing naturally-born parent plants that bore hybrid seeds.

B．By creating naturally-born parent lines that produced hybrid vigor.

C．By providing more microbes communities that could produce more seeds.

D．By looking for hybrid parent plants in the field that produced hybrid seeds.

【2】What can we know from the third paragraph?

A．Hybrid plants react worse to weak pathogens in the soil.

B．Wagner connected hybrid vigor with microbial communities.

C．Being naturally-born makes a plant interact similarly with microbes.

D．Hybrid corn and naturally-born com have similar microbial communities.

【3】What effect would Wagner’s finding have?

A．Making farmers know what to grow to resist certain diseases.

B．Helping scientists realize the importance of spreading soil microbes.

C．Showing the significance of associating soil microbes with specific crops.

D．Highlighting the need for plant growers to find more microbial communities.

【4】What’s the main idea of the passage?

A．Soil microbes play a vital role in the harvests of corn.

B．Farmers employ soil microbes in a mysterious way.

C．Hybrid vigor is a mysterious phenomenon.

D．Hybrid corm is a double-edged sword.

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。

Anyone who's ever been a kid has, at some point, fallen victim to a message in a bottle fantasy. It's truly one of the most romantic ideas ever, isn't it? In nothing but a glass bottle, a message can cross an ocean and connect two random people who are half the world apart.

And what's even more romantic? Belief in the good of people completely unknown to you, enough to send them well-wishes from across the world without being motivated by anything other than the guidance of your heart and curious mind.

These days, technology has connected the world more than ever, and the unusual thought of a message in a bottle has almost ceased to exist. But one young boy managed to follow his dream through before that could happen. And once he had almost completely forgotten it, his dream came true.

Max Vredenburgh was just 10 years old when he sat down with a message for the unknown. He wrote out all of his favorite things in the note—obviously looking for ways to connect. "I like apples. I like the beach, my favorite color's blue, I like animals, I like cars, and I like outer space," he declared in the typical fashion of a young boy. He bottled it up, and put it into the coastal Massachusetts water, hoping it would find its way to a kind stranger.

After so many years, his childhood message in a bottle didn't even cross his mind. It wasn't until he finally got a text the other day. But at this time he was already in his second year at university.

Almost 10 years later, Max's wish just came true.

注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

A man found the bottle beached on the coast of France, clear across the Atlantic Ocean—more than 3, 000 miles from where Max had first sent it out so long ago.
