21、Remember when your mom told you not to eat too many candy bars or sweets because they can cause tooth decay (蛀牙)? However, it turns out that chocolate can be more salutary to your teeth than you might expect. Recent studies show that chocolate can effectively fight against tooth decay, as if we need another excuse to eat chocolate.

Chocolate offers protection like fluoride, a main ingredient in most household toothpastes. Not only does chocolate protect our teeth, but it can do so very effectively. Studies show that chocolate has compounds that provide strong protection for teeth. One of the compounds in chocolate, CBH, is shown to protect even more effectively than fluoride.

Tooth decay happens when bacteria work to turn sugar into acids in our mouth. This is why eating foods with high sugar content can lead to more tooth decay. The compounds in chocolate, however, are anti-bacteria and can fight against bacteria in your mouth. The CBH compound in particular also works to strengthen tooth enamel (牙釉质), and protects against tooth decay.

Does this mean you can cat as much chocolate as you want without worrying about your teeth? It depends on the types of chocolate that you like. The protective effect of chocolate is most effective when you chew on cocoa beans. Of course, this option is not very appealing to; most people. A more tasty option is to choose dark chocolate with little sugar content, ideally no more than 6 to 8 grams per serving. For other types of chocolate with higher sugar content, the effect will be lessened. However, because of the protective compounds, it is still better for your teeth than other sweets and desserts containing the same amount of sugar.

【1】The word “salutary” in paragraph 1 means?

A．Beneficial.

B．Harmful.

C．Familiar.

D．Useless.

【2】What can we know about the compound CBH in chocolate?

A．It can help chocolate cure tooth decay.

B．It can effectively stop teeth from decaying.

C．It may protect teeth better than toothpastes do.

D．It may soon replace most household toothpastes.

【3】How does chocolate fight tooth decay?

A．By breaking down acids.

B．By building up compounds.

C．By fixing up tooth enamel.

D．By fighting against bacteria.

【4】What's the main idea of the text?

A．Chocolate plays the role of toothpaste.

B．Chocolate protects against tooth decay.

C．Chocolate is the best choice for teeth protection.

D．Chocolate is healthier to teeth than other sweets.

22、Of course, she wasn’t really my aunt and, out of fear, I never called her that to her face. I only referred to her as “My Aunt Fannie” because the name always made my father laugh quietly and gave my mother cause to look strictly at both of us—at me for being disrespectful of my elder and at my father for encouraging my bad behavior. I enjoyed both reactions so I looked for every opportunity to work the name into as many conversations as possible.

As a young woman, my mother had worked in the kitchen of a large Victorian farmhouse. During those years my mother helped Aunt Fanny make the best blueberry jam (蓝莓酱) ever tasted by anyone in Glenfield. She was well-known for her jam and for never sharing the recipe with others. Even though my mother knew the recipe by heart, as long as Aunt Fannie was alive, she never made the jam without Aunt Fannie in our kitchen to direct the process and preserve the secret.

Each August, my mother would prepare me for Aunt Fannie’s visit. One year, after I had helped with the jam process Aunt Fannie gave me a coin and then made me promise that I would never spend it. “Hold onto this coin,” she said, “and someday you will be rich. I still have my very first coin, given to me by my grandmother.” So I kept the coin in a small box and waited to become rich.

I now have the blueberry jam recipe and the coin from Aunt Fannie. In people’s eyes Aunt Fannie's success resulted from that secret recipe. But to me, it was just a common recipe. Neither have significantly made me become a rich person, but I keep them as reminders to hold onto the valuable things in life. Money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is the relationships and the memories of time spent with friends and family that truly leave you wealthy. And that is a fortune that anyone can build.

【1】Why did the author always use the name “My Aunt Fannie” in conversations?

A. She was frightened of Aunt Fannie.

B. She liked Aunt Fannie’s recipe.

C. She enjoyed her parents’ reactions.

D. She greatly respected “Aunt Fannie”.

A. Aunt Fannie

B. the author’s grandmother

C. the author’s mother

【3】In the last paragraph, the author encourages readers to______.

A. hold onto the first coin in life

B. make as many friends as possible

C. make money with their own hands

D. spend more time with family and friends

【4】What could be the best title for this passage?

A. The Key to Success

B. Blueberry Jam Recipe

C. A Fortune Built from a Coin

D. A Relationship of Trust

23、To the untrained eye, a pingpong ball is just a pingpong ball. To a Beverly Cleary fan, it’s two motorcycle helmets for mice.

Ever since I read Cleary’s series about Ralph, the motorcycle—riding mouse, I’ve never looked at a pingpong ball—or the world—the same way. Amazing to think that it’s been more than forty years since I checked out The Mouse and the Motorcycle from my school library in Northport, and yet that one particular image is as clear to me as ever.

And why shouldn’t it be? It’s perfect.

How I wanted a mouse of my own to ride a toy motorcycle around my house! Thanks to Cleary’s genius, a talking mouse friend seemed not only possible but probable.

While much of children’s literature attempted to explain the world from the point of view of a wise and gentle adult, Cleary created characters who saw the world as only children can. With great interest, I read every book that bore Beverly Cleary’s name. She seemed like a friend who understood me in ways I didn’t yet understand myself.

I’ve written eight children’s books and have always kept Beverly’s sense of wonder in mind. I don’t remember at exactly what age I decided I wanted to write books, but I know that by second or third grade, my teacher assigned a project that allowed us to focus on whatever we wanted. My best friend picked dolphins; I chose children’s authors, with a large chunk of my project being about who else? Beverly Cleary!

I told that story recently to a school group. One of the students said, “That’s fantastic! You’re your project on children’s authors and then you became one!”

“Yes,” I said. “And my best friend who did her project on dolphins—became a dolphin!”

“Really?” the students said in chorus.

And that perfectly sums up why I love writing for children: the belief that fantastic, magical things can happen. Best friends can become dolphins; mice can ride toy motorcycles and become our friends.

That’s what Beverly Cleary taught me. In the hands of a gifted storyteller, anything is possible... and so very funny.

【1】The Mouse and the Motorcycle impressed the author mainly because .

A．it recorded animals’ life

B．it revealed the wisdom of life

C．it encouraged children to raise pets

D．it described the world from children’s eyes

【2】When learning the author’s friend became a dolphin, the students felt________.

A．amazed

B．doubtful

C．scared

D．confused

【3】What is the passage mainly about?

A．What the author created to attract children.

B．What the author did to turn impossible into possible.

C．How Beverly Cleary aroused children’s interest in reading.

D．How the author was inspired to be a writer by Beverly Cleary.

24、China became the first country to clone a monkey using non-reproductive cells, scientists said on Thursday. By December 2017 , the Chinese Academy of Sciences had created two clone macaques(猕猴) named“Zhong Zhong” and “Hua Hua”by nuclear transferring of body cells—any cell in the organism other than reproductive cells. This was the similar technology used to create the famous clone sheep Dolly in 1996.

Telra, a monkey born in 1999 , is the world’s first ever-cloned monkey, but it was done using a simpler method called embryo splitting(胚胎分裂)，and cannot be genetically modified to suit experimental needs, said Pu Muming, a leading researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Cloning a monkey using body cells has been a world-class challenge because it is a primate(灵长类)that shares its genetic makeup, therefore all of its complexity, with humans, he said.

For drug and other lab tests, scientists have to purchase monkeys from all over the world, which is costly, bad for the environment and produces inaccurate results because each monkey might have different genes, Pu said.

By cloning monkey using body cells, we can mass reproduce a large number of genetically identical monkeys in a short amount of time, and we can even change their genes to suit our needs, he added. “This can save time, cut down experiment costs, and produce more accurate results, leading to more effective medicine.”

Sun Qiang, director of the non-human primate research facility at the institute, said most of the drug trials are currently done on lab mice. However, drugs that work on mice might not work or even have severe side effects on humans because the two species are so different.

Monkeys and humans are both primates, so they are much closely related and testing on monkeys is supposed to be as effective as testing on humans. This achievement will help China lead the world research in an international science project related to study of primate brains.

【1】Which description of the two clone macaques is true?

A. They were the first monkeys ever-cloned in the world.

B. They were created using reproductive cells.

C. They would be fed to suit experimental needs.

D. The technology used to create them was similar to that of creating Dolly.

【2】The underlined word in the fourth paragraph is closest to “   ”in meaning.

A. same

B. similar

C. relevant

D. close

【3】What can be learned from the passage?

A. Pu Muming and Sun Qiang were doing most work in cloning the two macaques.

B. Genetic research on monkeys can be seen as effective as that on humans.

C. Most drug trials have been done on mice because mice share the same genetic makeup and complexity with humans.

D. Scientists can mass reproduce cloned monkeys to cut down experiment costs.

【4】This passage above can be most probably read in

A. a science magazine

B. a guidebook

C. a science fiction

D. a brochure

These last four months have__________me to spend an unexpected amount of time with Hopper. In my makeshift office, she sleeps beside me, meows at my feet, or leaps onto my back. Through the window, I watch Hopper stalk (踱方步) through the long grass,__________me of a wilder world outside.Every morning I__________her; every evening we play with a feather stuck to a stick. It is our__________-the only part of my timetable that has not been__________by the coronavirus (冠状病毒). Without the lockdown, would I have realized the everyday happiness a cat can bring?
