21、A group of scientists trained dogs to detect(发现)a crop disease called citrus greening. The disease has affected orange, lemon and grapefruit trees in the American states of Florida, California and Texas. The dogs can detect the disease weeks to years before it appears on tree leaves and roots, the researchers report. Using dogs is also faster, less costly and more exact than having people collect hundreds of leaves for lab analysis.

Timothy Gottwald is a researcher in the study. He said, “This technology is thousands of years old — the dog's nose. We’ve just trained dogs to hunt new prey：the bacteria that cause a very damaging crop disease.”

Citrus greening is caused by a kind of bacteria that are spread by a tiny insect that feeds on the leaves and stems of citrus trees. Once a tree is infected(感染)，there is' no cure. The disease has also hurt citrus crops in Central and South America and Asia. In one experiment involving grapefruit trees in Texas, trained dogs were correct 95 percent of the time in telling the difference between newly infected trees and healthy ones. “The earlier you detect the disease, the better chance you have at stopping healthy trees being infected by removing infected ones,” Gottwald said.

Professor Matteo Garbelotto says the new research shows that dogs can detect an infection well before present methods. He has been involved in similar research but had no part in the new study.

Laura Sims is a plant scientist. She praised the steps taken to find out if the dogs were detecting the bacteria itself or a plant's reaction to an infection. To do that, the researchers infected different kinds of unrelated plants with the bacteria in a laboratory. The dogs were still able to pick out the infected plants.

Gottwald said, "You've seen dogs working in airports, detecting drugs and explosives. Maybe soon you will see them working on more farms."

【1】What does the text say about citrus greening?

A．It mainly damages tree branches.

B．It' s impossible to detect at an early stage.

C．Dogs can better detect it than humans.

D．Humans have to analyze tree roots to detect it.

【2】How does a dog detect citrus greening?

A．By tasting.

B．By touching.

C．By observing.

D．By Sniffing.

【3】Early detection of citrus greening enables farmers to ______.

A．help infected trees to recover

B．keep it from spreading further

C．improve the quality of fruit.

D．better protect infected trees

【4】Which of the following statements reflects Gottwald's opinion?

A．Dogs will take the place of humans to conduct risky jobs.

B．Trained dogs make no mistakes in citrus greening detection.

C．Dogs use plants' reaction to an infection to help with their detection.

D．Using dogs for citrus greening detection will be more widespread.

22、Last year, Wolf Cukier, who is 17 years old, spent his summer vacation as few other rising seniors have：he helped discover a planet-TOI 1338b, the newly identified world orbiting two stars which are more than 1, 300 light years away.

Last July， just after he finished his junior year at Scarsdale High school in Scarsdale, New York, Wolf started an internship(实习期) at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.

During the first week of the internship, as be combed through data that had been flagged by citizen-scientists. he fixed attention on s system that included two orbiting stars. He identified a body in that system that was later proved as a planet about 6.9 times as large as Earth. while knowing this inspiring discovery, his colleagues immediately gave the system a name, TOI 1338b.

According to scientific research, any dip in the brightness of a single star is a good indication that a planet has crossed in front of it. However, TOI 1338b was particularly complicated because it involved two stars-a large star ere the planers track was easy to detect, and a smaller one where the planet's track was so small that it was not observable.

Many people think that wolf is a lucky dog, but as a matter of fact, it is not just a coincidence. When he studied in Junior High School, he had shown great passion on astronomy and was devoted to studying it. Wolf plans to study astrophysics(天体物理学) when he starts college in September. When it came to his contribution to the discovery of the new world. he emphasized it was the team work in the verification process rather than his own effort that counted.

【1】What did Wolf do last year?

A．He was employed by NASA.

B．He finished his senior year in High School.

C．He spent his summer vacation like other seniors.

D．He helped find a new planet named TOI 1338b.

【2】How can we describe Wolf？

A．Modest and hardworking.

B．Ambitious and casual.

C．Considerate and lucky.

D．Optimistic and helpful.

【3】What can be inferred according to the text?

A．The planet was named by Wolf.

B．The planet is the same size as the Earth.

C．The planet was easy to discover as there are two stars involved.

D．Team work in the verification process was highly valued by Wolf.

【4】Where is this text most likely from?

A．A diary.

B．A magazine.

C．A guidebook.

D．A scientific novel.

23、   At 23, my career got going. I was midway through a master’s degree at The London School of Economics and Political Science and had been hired as a part-time reporter for a finance website. I got a great one-month review and my boss asked if I was interested in staying with the company after graduation.

However, balancing graduate studies with work was challenging. To deal with it, I checked my real self at my office door. I came in to work, greeted my colleagues and listened more than I contributed in each morning meeting. The small team I worked with often seemed busy, so rather than giving ideas that might get turned down, I stayed back.

After four months, my boss called me into his office. The meeting was going well until he told me that despite the great work I had produced, the team had held a meeting and decided, “We don’t think it’s the right fit.”

I must have looked confused. “You’re ambitious, intelligent and will be very successful,” my boss said. “But you haven’t made enough of an effort to join the team. You lost the enthusiasm you showed in your interview. That won’t work long term.” I couldn’t believe that performing well at my job wasn’t enough to keep it. But I knew my boss was right.

“Don’t leave before you leave.” Because we work so hard for success, we don’t like to think that we hurt ourselves sometimes. But each of us must change when necessary. In trying to earn a full time job, I “leaned back” in order not to show too much of myself or my lack of expertise. I learned the hard way isn’t the way to achieve your goals.

【1】Why did the author write this article?

A.To amuse the readers.

B.To introduce her wisdom.

C.To share her work experience.

D.To land a full-time job.

【2】What did the author mean by saying “I stayed back” in Paragraph 2?

A.She was no longer interested in the part-time job.

B.She was afraid to give her own ideas in her team.

C.She was active in expressing herself in her team.

D.She had no ideas to contribute in her team.

【3】Why did her boss call her into his office one day four months later?

A.She didn’t produce the great work.

B.She cared little about other members in her team.

C.She was concerned only about her own success.

D.She didn’t show enough enthusiasm in teamwork.

【4】What conclusion might the author draw from her work experience?

A.Not sharing enough during meetings could lead to being fired from your job.

B.Listening is more important than contributing in each morning meeting.

C.Getting along well with the other team members could help you keep to your job.

D.You must work so hard for your success that you don’t want to hurt yourself.

24、In 2016, in an Illinois town called Cahokia, a woman was sent to prison just because she failed to tend her lawn (草坪). In 2019, a Florida man was fined $30,000 by the city of Dunedin for allowing his grass to grow more than 10 inches in height. These examples, while extreme, are not rare occurrence in America.

A study estimated that turf grasses (lawns, parks, athletic fields, etc) cover over 40 million acres in the continental U.S., an area larger than any crop area. And Americans spend as much as $60 billion a year maintaining these grasses. These impressive data are the result of Americans’ setting much store by these pieces of greenery for several centuries.

Centuries ago, only those with considerable wealth could own the resources needed to maintain these displays. In the modern world, lawns have gradually changed from the estates of the wealthy to the front yards of common people. Across America, millions of families now proudly present their grass to their neighbors and drivers by carefully weeding, watering, fertilizing and mowing these small-scale representations of the grounds.

With this context in mind, it’s easy to see well-tended lawns in America. People tend to use lawns to create an impression of order or to indicate a sense of personal success. The relative health and attractiveness of the grass in their yard becomes a barometer (晴雨表) for their life as whole.

However, with so many acres covered by the grass, the influence associated with lawn maintenance is more than just psychological. To begin, a lawn requires massive quantities of resources to sustain. The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates that lawns account for about half of homeowner’s water use, much of which is wasted. Additionally, Americans are reported to use 80 million pounds of chemicals on their lawns each year. The process of tending the lawn also contributes to air pollution.

These surprising data mean we need to question whether lawns provide us with enough benefit to justify their widespread existence.

【1】Why are the two lawn-related cases mentioned in the first paragraph?

A．To explain the effectiveness of American laws

B．To show the significance of lawns in American society.

C．To stress Americans’ awareness of environmental protection.

D．To reveal the cost of maintaining lawns in Americans’ daily life.

【2】What does the underlined part in the second paragraph mean?

A．Making full use of.

B．Facing the consequence of.

C．Attaching great importance to.

D．Shouldering the responsibility for.

【3】Why do Americans have a preference for well-tended lawns?

A．Because of the psychological function of lawns.

B．Because of the popularity of lawns in Americans’ life

C．Because of the purpose of placing barometers in lawns.

D．Because of the method of planting healthy and attractive lawns.

【4】What can we know about the lawns in the U.S. according to the passage?

A．They will be expanded to cover more lands.

B．They are of significant environmental concerns.

C．They will motivate people to be health-conscious.

D．They can promote the development of the chemical industry.
