21、A small new NASA instrument may be able to help predict volcanic eruptions and monitor air quality.
Nicknamed NACHOS, which is short for the Nanosat Atmospheric Chemistry Hyperspectral Observation System, was launched from Virginia on Feb.19 aboard a NG resupply mission to the International Space Station. NACHOS will soon then be placed aboard a tiny CubeSat satellite positioned about 480 km above Earth, where NASA hopes it will be able to detect traces of gases like SO2 and NO2 in the atmosphere.
“A volcano just waking up may emit SO2 before there is any detectable seismic (地震的) activity, “Los Alamos National Laboratory remote sensing researcher Steve Love explained in a news release. “That gives us a chance to identify a potentially erupting volcano before it actually blows.”
If successful, NACHOS will be the smallest and highest-resolution instrument of its kind in orbit. NASA says that could lead to new space-based systems that are able to monitor air quality for harmful gases in neighborhoods and individual power plants. “When we recognize that these gases are present and can localize their sources, we have the opportunity to take action and minimize negative health outcomes, ” said Love, who is a task lead on the NACHOS project.
In the past, NASA has created satellites to observe these kinds of gases. But Love said those traditionally required high-resolution images and sensitive instruments that were costly to produce and operate. Smaller devices, like NACHOS, could enable a wider use of the technology at a much lower cost. If it proves successful, the technology could also be used in Earth-based systems, NASA says. Love and his team expect NACHOS to orbit our planet for about a year. “That will give us enough time to test our instrument design and gather enough test data to ensure our technology concept is reasonable,” Love said. “More power and less weight set NACHOS apart and make it an excellent candidate for future atmospheric trace gas missions.”
【1】Why was the instrument NACHOS launched?
A.To control emission of SO2 and NO2.
B.To orbit our planet for about a year.
C.To help predict the volcano eruptions.
D.To resupply the International Space Station.
【2】What does the underlined word “That” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A.The launch of NACHOS.
B.The detectable seismic activity.
C.The gas emissions of volcanoes.
D.The technology concept of the design.
【3】What will be done once the harmful gases are detected?
A.To collect the harmful gases.
B.To find a shelter in power plants.
C.To change the orbit of the instrument.
D.To try to reduce the bad effect on health.
【4】Which of the following might Love agree with about NACHOS?
A.It is highly cost.
B.It needs more power.
C.It is a promising instrument.
D.It has proved the technology successful.
22、Pandas are not only a national treasure, but are loved around the world.
Recently, a giant panda cub born in August at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo, US, was given the name Xiao Qi Ji, which is translated into English as “little miracle”. The choice was the result of a five-day online vote that drew nearly 135,000 voters in the US. Interestingly, National Public Radio said that in a nod to Chinese tradition, the name was not chosen until 100 days after the birth.
This cub’s birth proved to be quite inspiring - and at a time when inspiration was truly needed.
“Xiao Qi Ji’s birth is a true miracle that has been so uplifting to all of us during the pandemic (疫情),” Chinese Ambassador to the US Cui Tiankai said in a video congratulatory message. “ We are connected again in the growth of our little ambassador, and in our shared joy and friendship.”
The furry black-and-white animals have played an important role in the country’s diplomacy, known as “ panda diplomacy (外交)”.
According to the Japanese Royal Annual, the practice dates back to the Tang Dynasty, when Empress Wu Zetian sent a pair of pandas to the Japanese emperor.
China revived panda diplomacy in the 1950s when China sent two pandas to the Moscow Zoo. By 1982, China had given 23 pandas to nine different countries. However, most of them have died. China stopped giving away pandas in the early 1980s. Instead, the animals are loaned to other countries. In general, they are to be returned to China after 10 years.
But why do these cute “diplomats” find it hard to survive in other countries? According to Xinhua, their dietary habit is one significant reason. Their nutrition mostly comes from bamboo shoots. Adult giant pandas consume about 40 kilograms of bamboo daily. Pandas can also be quite picky. They refuse to eat bamboo shoots after they have blossomed.
It takes 10 years for a new crop of bamboo to mature, and many countries do not have an environment suitable for bamboo growth. This means that food has to be imported In August, Calgary Zoo in Canada announced that due to pandemic-related changes in its import laws and quarantine methods, they couldn’t provide enough fresh bamboo for pandas. This meant that they had to send two giant pandas back to China.
But countries are still trying their best to facilitate this special type of diplomacy. “We don’t own the pandas, but the whole world wants to help save the panda, and we do that through our knowledge exchange.” Steven Monfort, director of the Smithsonian’s National Zoo, told China Daily.
【1】The expression “in a nod to” in Para. 2 is closest in meaning to________.
A.in praise for
B.in response to
C.in favor of
D.in order to observe
【2】Why China decided that pandas are only loaned to other countries?
A.Because the pandas’ dietary habit was significantly changed abroad.
B.Because the pandas couldn’t have bamboo to eat in other countries.
C.Because most of pandas could not be adapted to the climate abroad.
D.Because most of the pandas sent to other countries couldn’t survive.
【3】What can we learn from the text?
A.It was the first time that China had sent a panda to Japan.
B.The practice “panda diplomacy” dales from the Tang Dynasty.
C.China began panda diplomacy, sending two pandas to Moscow Zoo.
D.Two giant pandas had to be returned because they were sick in Canada.
【4】What Steven Monfort’s attitude towards the special type of diplomacy?
A.Favorable.
B.Uncaring.
C.Disapproving.
D.Doubtful.
【5】What is the purpose of the passage?
A.To tell us how to feed pandas properly.
B.To call on people to love pandas in the world.
C.To introduce the furry black and white ambassador.
D.To explain why “panda diplomacy” is stopped.

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。
We were in our late 20s with a child when my husband, Ralph, finally graduated from college.
“OK, now I deserve a piano,” I blurted out when he sat down for lunch just before the graduation ceremony. A look of surprise crossed his face.
“We could never afford a piano. After so many years of hard work, we got you through school. Now I deserve a piano,” I repeated.
Several months later, Ralph, with help, moved the upright piano we bought for $ 100 into our cottage’s tiny arched dining room. It smelled a little musty, but had great tone.
Ralph started graduate school, leaving no money for private piano lessons. The first thing that came to my mind was Santa Monica City College—maybe it offered piano lessons. Skimming the catalog, I danced around the room when I found a class at the same time the boys were at preschool.
Practicing, however, was not so easy. Four-year old redheaded Denny crawled out of bed in the evening on a regular basis. That was my time to practice. He’d pad out of the bedroom in his sleeper and climb up on the bench with me. Soon he began plinking (发出叮铃声) on the high keys. I tried to ignore him. He listened to the echoes of the keys and plinked some more. Doing all I could do to keep focused on my own practicing, I continued to ignore him.
This practice pattern became an evening routine. After a while, I didn’t even hear him anymore. Ralph studied. Denny plinked on the high keys, and I focused on my piece for the end-of-the-term recital (独奏会).
That evening came. However, Ralph said he was busy preparing for the midterms and couldn’t watch Denny.
Pacing back and forth, I shook my head trying to figure out what to do. Time was running out. I bundled up Denny—with his sleeper on—and drove off to the recital with him.
“We’ll sit in the front row, Denny,” I whispered. “You have to be very quiet and listen when I am playing.” He nodded, said “Uh-huh,” and we sat down.
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。
Denny held my hand, but then my turn came.
