22、   Once upon a time, the colors of the world quarreled without stop.

Green said: "Clearly I am the most important. I am the sign of life and of hope. I was chosen for grass, trees and leaves. Without me, all animals would die."

Yellow smiled quietly: "You are so serious. I bring laughter, pleasure, and warmth into the world. The sun is yellow, the moon is yellow, the stars are yellow. Without me there would be no fun."

Orange started next to blow herself: "I am the color of health and strength. I may be scarce（稀有的）, but I am precious for I serve the needs of human life. I carry the most important vitamins."

Red could stand it no longer, shouting out: "I am the ruler of all of you. I am blood-life's blood! I am the color of danger and of bravery. Without me, the earth would be as empty as the moon."

Indigo（靛蓝色）spoke more quietly but with just as much determination: "Think of me. I am the color of silence. You hardly notice me, but without me you all become superficial. You need me for balance and inner peace."

…

The colors went on boasting, each convinced of his or her own advantages. Their quarreling became louder and louder.

Suddenly there was a surprising flash of bright lightning and thunder rolled and boomed. Rain started to pour down cruelly. The colors crouched down（蹲下）in fear, drawing close to one another for comfort.

In the midst of the loud noises, rain began to speak: "You foolish colors, fighting amongst yourselves, each trying to control the rest. Don't you know that you were each made for a special purpose, unique and different? Join hands with one another and come to me." Doing as they were told, the colors united and joined hands. The rain continued: "From now on, when it rains, each of you will stretch across the sky in a great bow of color as a reminder that you can all live in peace. The Rainbow is a sign of hope for tomorrow." And so, whenever a good rain washes the world, and a Rainbow appears in the sky, let us remember to appreciate one another.

23、Saving lives has always been an important mission (使命) of science. Now science, and indeed all society, are facing a new dilemma: whether or not to try and save more lives through human cloning.

The first cloning experiments in the 1950s involved frogs and toads. It was not until 1997 that scientists successfully cloned the fist mammal, the now world-famous sheep known as Dolly. Cloning techniques’ have continued to improve since then, and today there are cloned mice, salmon, and cattle.

Some scientists want to apply the methods used in cloning animals to produce skin, or organs, and other body parts for humans. One of these methods involves taking adult cells from the brain or blood and growing them into new tissues. Another more complex technique takes embryo (胚胎) cells and develops them into a wide variety of cell types and tissues. It is this planned use of human embryos that has resulted in controversy (争议) and criticism.

The cloning of human cells provides the potential to find cures and eliminate diseases. The dream of some researchers is to create a Utopian world of good health. Others question whether it is right to “Play God” in an attempt to cure the disabilities and diseases in this world.

Some of the great hopes for cloning include the utility to perform transplants, whenever they are needed, using cloned organs. For example, people with lung cancer may simply have their lungs replaced with healthy ones. Scientists also look forward to the day when people in wheelchairs can walk again, and illnesses such as Alzheinmier’s and Parkinson’s Disease can be prevented.

However, a lot of people worry about the appearance of masses of identical people, and the production of “perfect” humans for warfare or slave labor. We might even see headless human bodies being stored at hospitals for their “spare parts”. With such thought-causing possibilities for the 2lst century, human cloning will no doubt continue to receive widespread attention and scrutiny (审视).

【1】What problem is science faced with?

A．Whether human cloning can help save more lives.

B．How to carry out human cloning scientifically.

C．Whether human cloning should be used for saving lives.

D．How to save more lives through human cloning.

【2】What can we know about cloning according to the text?

A．It has a history of over half a century.

B．I develops very quickly in the 21st century.

C．It can protect people from diseases of any kind.

D．It has enabled many people in wheelchairs to walk again.

【3】The underlined word “eliminate” in paragraph 4 most probably means “________”.

A．put up with

B．get along with

C．make up for

D．get rid of

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

A．Human body parts will be stored at hospitals for use.

B．Hunan cloning may become a trend in the 21st century.

C．Many people learn the effects of human cloning on our society.

D．People think humans will surely be cloned for slave labor.

24、   For the first few months of 2021, Mars was crowded with new “visitors” from Earth. First, it was the UAE Space Agency’s Hope, followed by the Chinese Tianwen-1. The name comes from the long poem Tianwen, written by Qu Yuan, a great poet of ancient China. In Tianwen, this name conveys China’s steady effort in pursuing truth and culture of exploring the universe.

The Tianwen-1 rover landing has orbiting, landing and roving (巡视) components—the first mission to include all three on its first attempt. Landing on Mars is extremely dangerous. It requires entering the atmosphere at very high speeds, then slowing down before landing. As to Tianwen-1, a heat shield (防热护罩) protected the spacecraft during the fiery (燃烧的) landing, after which the mission safely parachuted (使空降) down to the Utopia Planitia (乌托邦平原). The landing platform fired small, downward-facing rocket engines to slow down during the last few seconds.

China’s Mars rover, called Zhurong after an ancient Chinese fire god, sent back images of the surface of Mars captured by a camera on its front, which functions as an “eye” to detect barriers and get around them. The Utopia Planitia, where Tianwen-1 landed, has long been believed to contain vast amounts of water ice. Zhurong will first and foremost study Martian soil and atmosphere and search for signs of water ice, which suggests the existence of life.

Tianwen-1 is China’s first interplanetary (行星间的) mission. Meanwhile, China is working with Russia on a sample-return mission scheduled to launch in 2024. China is open and inclusive in the development of its space technology to build a community with a shared future for mankind.

【1】Why was China’s “visitor” to Mars named Tianwen?

A．To emphasize the value of exploring Mars.

B．To arouse readers’ interest in reading classics.

C．To illustrate the long history of writing poems.

D．To show China’s constant struggle in space exploration.

【2】Which of the following contributed to the safe landing on Mars?

A．The heat shield on the spacecraft.

B．The camera on the front of Zhurong.

C．The flat landscape of the Utopia Planitia.

D．The rocket engines above the landing platform.

【3】What is the primary target of Zhurong on Mars?

A．To build a shared future for mankind.

B．To look for signs of life on the red planet.

C．To push the boundaries of space exploration.

D．To inform people of our achievements in space.

【4】What can we learn from the text?

A．China is the first country to land a rover on Mars.

B．China is confident of the existence of life on Mars.

C．Tianwen-1 proves joint efforts matter in space research.

D．Tianwen-1 marks the start of China’s interplanetary exploration.
