21、They had a dozen children, six boys and six girls, in seventeen years. One reason Dad had so many children was that he was confident anything he and Mother teamed upon was sure to be a success.

Our house at Montclair, New Jersey, was a sort of school for scientific management and the removal of wasted motions — or “motion study,” as Dad and Mother named it.

Dad took moving pictures of us children washing dishes, so that he could determine how we could reduce our motions and thus hurry through the task. Each child who wanted extra pocket money put forward an offer saying what he would do the job for. The lowest bidder got the contract(合约).

Dad put process and work charts in the bathrooms. Every child old enough to write — and Dad expected his children to start writing at a young age — was required to sign their names on the charts in the morning after he had brushed his teeth, taken a bath, combed his hair, and made his bed. At night, each child had to weigh himself, mark the figure on a graph, and sign the process charts again after he had done his homework, washed his hands and face, and brushed his teeth. Mother wanted to have a place on the charts for saying prayers, but Dad said as far as he was concerned prayers were voluntary.

It was strict management, all right. Yes, at home or on the job, Dad was always the efficiency expert. He buttoned his vest from the bottom up, instead of from the top down, because the bottom-to-top process took him only three seconds, while the top-to-bottom took seven. He even used two shaving brushes to make his face smooth enough, because he found that by so doing he could cut seventeen seconds off his shaving time. For a while he tried shaving with two razors, but he finally gave that up.

“I can save forty-four seconds,” he complained, “but I wasted two minutes this morning putting this bandage on my throat.” It wasn’t the injured throat that really bothered him. It was the two minutes.

【1】Why was the author’s house considered a sort of school?

A. It had a team of twelve children there.

B. The children were taught how to work well in it.

C. The parents could teach their children better at home.

D. The parents could have the children’s daily activities recorded.

【2】What is the purpose of signing the charts?

A. To help to do things efficiently.   B. To manage the big family effectively.

C. To look after the children better.   D. To remind the children to obey the rules.

【3】What did the father complain about one morning?

A. He should have given up shaving.   B. His bleeding throat bothered him.

C. He couldn’t shave with two razors.   D. He failed to cut short his shaving time.

【4】We can we infer from the text?

A. The kids had to bid for everything they wanted.

B. The author took pride in his father’s management.

C. The couple were always troubled by their children.

D. The father’s work was to teach the children at home.

22、“It’s really a breakthrough,” said British scientist Guillem about the discovery of a planet “more or less” like Earth that is orbiting Proxima Centauri, the star nearest to our solar system.

Proxima b, or “Earth II”as you could call it , is a lttle bigger than our Earth, and its years only take 11days. Also, since it is so much closer to its red dwarf (矮小的) star than we are to the sun, the sky on its world is orange without any blue at all, creating a forever sunset effect.

There are a lot of questions for life forms that could live on this new planet. As the Chicago Tribune wrote: “Do you have poetry? Superheroes? Television? Diets? Mean bosses? Do you have any interest in visiting other worlds? If so, put Earth on your Must See list. ”

The discovery of the planet made us wonder if anyone had seen or heard of the space postcards from Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11space probes (探测器), sent up into space in 1972 and the next year. Together with the probes were pictures of a man and a woman, along with diagrams of the solar system. Gold records were sent up into space on Voyager probes in 1977. If aliens (外星人) on Proxima b had played the record , they would have found human voices and pictures that showed the rich diversity of Earth.

It might not be time to plan a visit to Proxima b just yet—even if it has an atmosphere—as first , we would need to invent a way to get there in less than the 78,000 years it would take at 36,000 mph. “Proxima b looks to us like a promising Plan(et) B, just in case things go really south on this blue planet. ” the Chicago Tribune wrote.

【1】What do we know about Proxima b?

A. It has an orange sky.

B. It is closer to the sun.

C. It has no sunrise.

D. It is as large as Earth.

【2】What could be found on the gold records sent up by Voyager probes in 1977?

A. Pictures of a couple.

B. Maps of the solar system.

C. Recorded sounds.

D. Several postcards.

【3】What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably mean?

A. Earth moves to the south.

B. Proxima b gets closer to Earth.

C. Situation changes favorably.

D. Conditions on Earth get worse.

【4】What was the attitude of the Chicago Tribune towards the discovery of the planet?

A. Excited.

B. Worried.

C. Uninterested.

D. Proud.

23、When people think of a typical mineral mine, it’s probably underground. It is unlikely that the imagery of plants and soft greenery would cross their minds. Now, new explorations into phytomining may change that thought. Instead of traditionally mining metals like nickel (镍) and iron from rocks, phytomining uses plants as an alternative source for minerals. Using plants to extract (提取) metals can have significant environmental benefits over rock mining.

Phytomining was first studied in 1983 but it wasn’t adapted by the mining industry. In 2004, Indonesian soil scientist Aiyen Tjoa from Tadulako University in Central Sulawesithe, took her research to Sorowako, a small town in Indonesia with one of the largest nickel mining areas, to look into plants that survived years of mining. She brought samples back to her lab and found that these super plants were more than just surviving, they were growing in their glory.

The plants were absorbing and storing nickel from the soil. Large amounts of metals killed most plants, but these, known as hyperaccumulators, were learning to adapt. If these plants were containing metals, that meant that science could find a way to extract the minerals for use and quite frankly, scientists easily did. When the shoots were harvested and burned, the metals were separated from the plant material in the ashes.

Tjoa returned to Sorowako and spent years searching for new hyperaccumulator species. After a plant was considered a possibility, there was a test paper that turns pink when placed against the leaf of a hyperaccumulator plant. Two local Indonesian plants, sarcotheca celebica and knema matanensis, were found and there’re many others still to be discovered.

Tjoa’s research caught the attention of Satria Bijasksana, a professor of rock magnetism. Together, they designed an experiment to understand magnetic susceptibility (磁化率) when plants gather more nickel, which led to the discovery of more new species of hyperaccumulators. Their research serves as the basis for the potential that plants can give to the mining industry, offering great advantages to our ecosystem and towards building a more sustainable future.

【1】Why did Aiyen Tjoa go to Sorowako in 2004?

A．To continue her college education.

B．To carry out mining underground.

C．To improve the soil of a small town.

D．To study the plants surviving mining.

【2】What do we know about hyperaccumulators?

A．They are rich in minerals.

B．They are free of metals.

C．They are very easy to discover.

D．They are too fragile to survive.

【3】What is the purpose of Aiyen Tjoa and Satria Bijasksana’s experiment?

A．To enable more plants to survive.

B．To test out the mining industry.

C．To help find more hyperaccumulators.

D．To improve the extraction speed.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?.

A．A New Creative Mining Way Meets Challenges

B．Phytomining Will Take the Place of Old Mining

C．Extracting Minerals From Plants Becomes Possible

D．Many Plants Can Act as Sources of Many Metals
