1、 It is easy for many people to catch a cold in the springtime or fall. It makes us wonder if scientists can send a man to the moon, why can't they find a cure (治疗) for the common cold? The answer is easy. There are actually different cold viruses (病毒) out there. ___You never know which one you will get, so there isn't a cure for each one.
When a virus attacks (攻击) your body, your body works hard to get rid of (消除) it. You may feel very uncomfortable, ___but your wonderful body is doing what it can do to kill the cold. You may have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting into your cells (细胞).Your temperature goes up and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is eating the virus.
___不同的人做不同的事情来应对感冒。In the United States and some other countries, for example, people might have chicken soup to help them to cure the cold. Some people take hot baths and drink warm water. Other people take medicine to stop different symptoms(症状)of colds.
There is one interesting thing to note.___some scientists say taking medicine when you have a cold is bad for you. The virus stays in you longer because your body doesn't have a way to fight it and kill it. Bodies can do an amazing job on their own. There is a joke, however, on taking medicine when you have a cold. ___如果你不吃药,你得花一周来消除感冒,but if you do, you still need 7 days.

25、
Take any long piece of paper and glue the ends of the paper together. You have made a ring. Take a second long piece of paper, twist(扭转) one of the ends through 180°, and glue the ends together.
Now you have made a Mobius band. The band is named after the German mathematician August Ferdinand Mobius who discovered it in September 1858. It is special because it is single-sided. To prove it, you can draw a line along the middle of a common ring. The line is only on one side of the paper. However, if you draw a line after you make the Mobius band, pay attention not to take the pen off the paper when drawing the line, just keep on going until you return to the starting point. Once you’ve finished, you’ll get an unbroken line which goes along both sides of the paper.
It is also kind of fun to see what happens when you cut the band. If you cut it in half along the middle of the Mobius band, you do not get two Mobius bands. Instead, after you cut the band, it turns into one large twisted ring. Then, if you cut this ring in half along the middle of the band again, you get two connected twisted rings. As an experiment, try cutting around a Mobius band one-third of the way from the edge. What do you get? Make a collection of Mobius bands — fat ones. Mark them in fourths, fifths, sixths, and cut around them. Keep a record of your results.
【1】The underlined “band” in Paragraph 2 refers to a ________.
A.music group B.ringed object C.math problem D.special line
【2】The most important feature of the Mobius band is that ______.
A.it is unbroken B.it has a line on it C.it is made of paper D.it has only one side
【3】What may be created from the idea of the Mobius band in our real life?
A. B.
C.
D.
【4】What do you get after you cut a Mobius band along the middle of the band for the second time?
A.A large twisted ring. B.Two connected twisted rings.
C.Three Mobius bands. D.Four separate Mobius bands.
【5】The last paragraph is written to lead readers to _________.
A.do more experiments with Mobius bands B.raise questions about Mobius bands
C.make a collection of Mobius bands D.get two different Mobius bands
26、
When storms come, most people stay at safe places. But some people get up close to storms to take photos and they are called “storm chasers”. Liu Yijing, a post-00s (零零后), is one of them.
Born in Jiangxi Province. Liu has been interested in storms since childhood. In kindergarten, his favorite picture book was about the wind. When his classmates at primary school watched cartoons, he watched the weather report every night. In high school, he read plenty of books about the weather and also studied meteorology (气象学).
In college, Liu opened a studio with his friend because they love photography (摄影). But because of COVID-19, they had to close the studio and return home. Just as the saying goes, “__________” When he stayed at home, a storm hit his hometown. Liu used his drone (无人机) to take lots of photos and make videos. He started his job as a storm photographer.
In 2020, he went to Inner Mongolia to take photos of storms. His first trip was not successful. On his second trip, he took an amazing photo. The photo captured clouds that gave rise to a tornado (龙卷风). “I still remember how excited I was. While taking the photo, I couldn’t control myself and kept screaming,” he says, adding that the picture has become famous on the Internet.
A storm may be beautiful when nature shows its power. But it can bring disasters. So Liu makes videos to help people understand meteorology and its influence on daily life. “Through my photos, I hope people will learn more about extreme (极端的) weather events and be prepared before they happen,” Liu says.

27、Xiao Yu got diabetes(糖尿病)when she was only 8. Ever since, she has had to give herself insulin(胰岛素), “insulin saves my life”, she explained to the Yangtse Evening Post.
This year is the 100th anniversary(纪念日)of the discovery of insulin. Before 1921, children and adults with diabetes most often died within a few days or months. Insulin helps them live longer.
Back in the 16th century BC, there were records about this “terrible disease”. People felt sick and thirsty, and urinate(排尿), and then died in pain. These were all caused by high levels of blood sugar. For thousands of years, humans didn’t know how to deal with it. This changed in the 1880s. That’s when scientists found a special substance(物质), which controls blood sugar. But scientists didn’t know how to get it.
In 1921, Frederick Banting came up with an idea. The Canadian doctor asked his friend to provide him with a laboratory and worked tirelessly on 10 dogs. Soon after, he successfully took out insulin from a dog and used it to treat another dog with diabetes. To his surprise, Ranting and Scottish scientist John Macleod made a better form of insulin. They used it to successfully treat a 14-year-old boy who was dying from diabetes.
In 1923, Banting and Macleod received the Nobel Prize for their important breakthrough in medical history. To help people get the medicine easily, they sold the patent(专利), “Insulin belongs to the world, not to me.”
【1】What is the writer’s main purpose of writing Para.1?
A.To show people how serious Xiao Yu’s illness is.
B.To lead into the topic of insulin.
C.To provide a solution of diabetes.
【2】What can we learn from the passage about diabetes?
A.There is still no medicine for diabetes.
B.Diabetes patients usually died within a few months or years.
C.Diabetes made people in great pain.
【3】The following facts about insulin are true EXCEPT ________ .
A.Scientists learned how to get insulin in the 1880s
B.A Canadian doctor did experiment on dogs to help develop the insulin
C.Frederick Banting and John Macleod are the inventors of insulin
【4】What does the word “treat” in Para.4 mean?
A.对待
B.治疗
C.贸易
【5】What did Banting mean when he said “Insulin belongs to the world, not to me”?
A.We are the inventors of insulin but we don’t have the patent of it.
B.We did invent insulin, but we hope to use it to make a difference to the world.
C.We can’t make money from the invention because it doesn’t belong to me.
