21、China’s historic 23-day Chang’e 5 mission has not only obtained precious rock and soil samples from the moon, but has also brought back a group of seeds that traveled the furthest in the nation’s agricultural and forestry histories. More than 30 kinds of seeds were placed inside Chang’e 5 spacecraft and orbited around the moon for about 15 days.
Scientists wished to check what would happen to the seeds after being exposed to extraterrestrial(地外的)forces in lunar orbit and also hoped they could develop beneficial mutations (突变). This mission offered good opportunities to scientists, which enabled them to deepen their studies on the effect of cosmic rays on the growth and evolution of life on Earth.
Space-based mutation breeding refers to the process of exposing seeds to forces such as micro gravity, vacuums and cosmic radiation during a spaceflight and then sending them back to Earth for further observation and planting. Researchers observe and examine several generations of plants grown from space-bred seeds and investigate their mutations—some are positive and desirable while others are negative. Those with positive mutations will be kept and analyzed, and will be introduced to farmers after their certification and approval.
Space breeding can generate mutations faster and more conveniently than ground-based experiments and can bring about some desirable traits that are otherwise hard to introduce. Compared with natural or conventionally bred types of plants, space-developed versions with positive mutations usually feature higher nutritional content, greater annual yields, shorter growth periods and better resistance to diseases and insect pests.
China conducted its first space breeding experiment in 1987. Since then, hundreds of kinds of seeds and seedlings have traveled with dozens of Chinese spaceships. Space breeding has helped to produce more than 200 new types of mutated plants in China that have been approved for large-scale cultivation, ranging from grains to vegetables and fruits. The Chang’e 5 robotic mission returned 1,731 grams of lunar rock and soil to Earth, marking a historic accomplishment 44 years after the last lunar substances were taken back.
【1】Why were the seeds placed inside Chang’e 5?
A.To pick out the fittest for mutations.
B.To understand extraterrestrial forces.
C.To study the intensity of cosmic rays.
D.To expose them to a special environment.
【2】What do we know about space-based mutation breeding?
A.It is not a time-consuming process.

A.Skeptical.
B.Cautious.

23、Chimpanzees,long considered reluctant to share,apparently can display selfless tendencies,revealing one more key way our closest living relatives are like humans,scientists find. These findings could shed light on the evolution of altruism in humans.
Previously,a belief was widely held that human altruism evolved only after humans split from their ape cousins about 6 million years ago.In recent years,however,research has revealed just how much chimpanzees have in common with us.They can hunt with spears,play with dolls and mourn their partners'death.
“Most of the earlier studies had presented the apes with a complex implement that helped them deliver food to themselves or others,often so complicated that the experiments tested tool skills rather than social tendencies,”De Waal told Live Science.“Ours is the first study that uses no such implement at all.”
In addition to using complex food-delivery systems,past experiments often placed the chimpanzees so far apart that they might not have realized how their actions benefited others.In these new,simplified experiments,two apes were housed next to each other with a screen through which they could see each other.Then,one chimpanzee had to choose between two differently colored tokens (币) from a bin,one of which represented a pro-social (亲社会的) option,the other a selfish option.The pro-social option would cause both chimpanzees to receive a piece of banana wrapped in paper.The selfish option only rewarded the ape who made the choice.
In a study with seven adult female chimps placed into various pairs,the scientists found all the apes showed a definite preference for the pro-social option.“For me,the most important finding is that like us,chimpanzees take into account the needs and wishes of others,”researcher Victoria Horner,said.
The chimpanzees behaved especially altruistically toward partners who either patiently waited or gently reminded them that they were there by drawing attention to themselves.They were less likely to reward partners who pressured through making a fuss,begging persistently or spitting water at them.This is opposite to a long-standing view that the chimpanzees only share food under pressure.
【1】The word“ altruism” (paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to ______.
A. selfishness
B. selflessness
C. willingness
D. reluctance
【2】Recent researches are performed with less complicated implements mainly to ______.
A. show that chimps are only good at using implements
B. see whether chimps are willing to share food with others
C. find out if chimps are likely to reward partners
D. test chimps’ social tendencies instead of tool skills
【3】Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. Evolution History of Altruism in Humans
B. Similarities between Chimps and Mankind
C. Chimps Do Show Selfless Behavior
D. Chimps Only Share Food under Pressure

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。
I opened the door and was greeted as usual by Shredder. He bounded towards me, jumped up and put a paw on my shoulder. "Okay, boy," I said, rubbing his ears the way he liked. He wagged his tail contentedly. I usually played with him all day. But with so many things on my schedule these days—meetings, dinners, many houses to clean—I didn't have time. I told Shredder to lie down. "I have to get to work now,“ I said. I headed downstairs to clean the bedroom. All of a sudden, pain shot through my head. It was unlike anything I’d ever felt—10 times worse. Things slipped out of my hands, and I fell to my knees. I knew someone who had died from a brain aneurysm (脑部动脉瘤).
I had to get help before it was too late. I should call 911, but the nearest phone was in the kitchen. I tried to stand up, but couldn’t. I knew I had to get upstairs. It felt like my head was going to explode. I managed to crawl to the kitchen. But I couldn't move anymore. I was helpless. Through the sharp pain, I looked up. Shredder stared back at me from the top step. Did he think I was playing?
“Come here,“ I whispered, trying to make my voice sound playful. He stared with doubt. "Come on. boy,” I said. Shredder ran down the steps and stood next to me. His tail stopped wagging.
"Help me, Shredder,“ I said, holding his collar (颈圈)with my left hand. He climbed a step and then stopped. "Up!" I said. He looked back at me as if to say, “Is this right?” "Go," I whispered. He started to drag me. My left arm went frozen. 1 had to look at Shredder's collar to make sure I kept my hold.
1.续写的词数应为150左右:
2.请按照如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Shredder got me to the top of the steps.
