21、SpaceX, Elon Musk's rocket company, launched the newly designed Crew Dragon capsule, carrying four astronauts to space on Nov. 16.The spacecraft successfully docked(对接) with the International Space Station ( ISS) on Nov. 17.

This is the first time that NASA has sent a crew into orbit entirely via a privately-owned spacecraft. “It's the start of a new era in which routine astronaut journeys to the low Earth orbit are being conducted by commercial providers,” NASA said. NASA's commercial manned program has taken a lot of risks. Whether the funding is sufficient in the long term and whether the companies have the capabilities to solve all the technical difficulties have been repeatedly questioned by the US Congress.

Before the launch, NASA had cooperated with SpaceX for more than a decade to build a manned spacecraft. Back in 2014, NASA was facing a vital decision—choosing the finalists to complete the task of developing alternative space shuttles. Eventually, it came down to Boeing and SpaceX. There was fierce competition between the two companies to complete the mission.

In December 2019, Boeing's manned spaceship, CST-100 Starliner, went through a test flight, but due to multiple errors, it failed to reach the ISS. The recent launch of the Crew Dragon capsule wasn't flawless, either. An air leak caused an unexpected drop in the capsule's pressure less than two hours before the launch, a NASA official said. Thanks to the technicians, the launch wasn't affected.

In the coming year, US actor Tom Cruise will start a commercial space journey on the Dragon capsule to film a movie at the ISS. At the same time, Boeing is catching up. The company will conduct another unmanned flight in 2021, and its first manned mission will take place sometime in 2022. “It very much follows the aviation(航空) era when airliners used to be government-run, and now of course they've been commercial for a number of decades,” said one of the Dragon capsule crew members.

【1】What is the significance of the successful launch of the Crew Dragon capsule?

A．It carried four astronauts into space.

B．It successfully docked with the International Space Station.

C．It sent ordinary people to space for the first time.

D．It marks the beginning of spaceflight being conducted by commercial providers.

【2】What's the main factor contributing to the successful launch of the Crew Dragon capsule?

A．SpaceX's long-term cooperation with NASA.

B．Boeing's failure in the test flight due to multiple errors.

C．SpaceX's sufficient funding.

D．The timely settlement of the technical difficulties.

【3】What does the underlined “It” refer to in Paragraph 5?

A．The Crew Dragon capsule was launched by SpaceX.

B．Commercial space exploration.

C．The competition between Boeing and SpaceX.

D．Commercial airliners.

【4】Which one can be the best title for this passage?

A．The manned spacecraft was launched

B．Spaceflight goes commercial

C．NASA faces lots of risks

D．SpaceX leads the way in spaceflight

22、If you like texting and are trying to lose weight, a new study found that using texting to track diet and exercise habits may help you lose weight.

Previous research has shown that keeping food and exercise diaries improves the likelihood of success when you are trying to lose weight. Using a computer or a pen and paper to record information, however, can be a burden and cause some people to give up.

  Duke University researchers said using text messages to track eating and exercise habits can save time, and increase the chances that people will stick with their weight-loss rules.

  The study included 26 obese women with an average age of 38. The women used daily texting as part of their weight-loss program. The text messages focused on tracking personalized goals, such as avoiding sugary drinks or walking 10,000 steps a day. Messages also provided brief feedback (回复) and tips.

  Every morning, the women received a text from an automated system that said, “Please text yesterday’s personal information of steps you walked and how many sugary drinks you had.” Based on the women's responses to the text message, the system sent another text with personalized feedback and tips.

  After six months, the women who used daily texting lost an average of nearly 3 pounds, while another group of women who used traditional methods to keep food and exercise diaries gained an average of 2.5 pounds, according to the study, which was published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research.

  “Text messaging has become popular and may be an effective method to simplify tracking of diet and exercise behavior,” Dori Steinberg, who was responsible for this research, said.

Steinberg said, "Text messaging offers several advantages compared to other self-monitoring methods. Unlike web-based diet and exercise diaries, data in a text message can be entered quickly on nearly all cellphone platforms so it is very convenient to receive feedback. Besides, because of the limited number of words used in text messages, it saves time.”

【1】According to the study, traditional methods _________.

A. are easier for people to lose weight

B. may cause people to give up losing weight

C. provide brief feedback and tips

D. are easy to track diet and exercise behavior

【2】Which is NOT true about text messaging according to Steinberg?

A. It saves time.

B. It saves money.

C. It can be entered quickly. 

D. It is easy to receive feedback.

【3】What’s the best title for the text?

A. Texting helps keep healthy 

B. Texting saves time and money

C. Texting can help you lose weight

D. Texting provides brief feedback and tips

【4】What’s Dori Steinberg’s attitude towards text messaging?

A. Unknown.   B. Negative.

C. Positive. D. Unconcerned.

23、Fossils are well preserved remains, impressions, or traces (痕迹) of animals and plants that lived long ago. Paleontologists (古生物学家) divide fossils into two main groups. Some fossils, called body fossils, show the structure of the plant or the animal. They form directly from the remains of plants and animals. Other fossils, called trace fossils. They record signs of animal or plant activities, such as walking, feeding, scratching, or even resting.

Most animals and plants don’t become fossils after they die. They break down into little bits or may be eaten by other animals. But some remains get buried too fast, avoiding those things happening. An animal might die near a body of water and sink to the bottom, where its remains get covered in sediment (沉积物). As sediment builds up, mineral-rich water seeps into the remains, leaving minerals in the tiny spaces of the bones and even replacing the original bones. The new minerals react with those in the animal’s remains and then harden into fossils.

Most fossils are buried deep in the Earth. As the Earth’s surface changes, scientists can dig up new fossils and learn more about past life and the Earth’s history. In rock that formed before a certain time, roughly 2.8 million years ago, scientists will not find human fossils.

Fossils are our keys to understanding prehistoric life and the Earth’s history. By studying fossils, we learn about a great variety of plants and animals that lived in the past. We can know what they looked like, how and where they moved and what they ate. By comparing fossils from different time periods, we can track the evolution of a species, see how it adapted to changes in its environment, and understand more about the climate and environment where the fossils were buried.

【1】What can we learn from paragraph 1?

A．Fossils are remains of plants and animals.

B．Trace fossils only tell us the activities of animals.

C．Trace fossils form directly from the remains of creatures.

D．Body fossils show almost the original structure of creatures.

【2】What is the main idea of paragraph 2?

A．Where we can find fossils.

B．How animals and plants become fossils.

C．Different fossils have different features.

D．Which methods are used to study fossils.

【3】What does the underlined phrase “seeps into” in paragraph 2 mean?

A．Engages in.

B．Succeeds in.

C．Delights in.

D．Sinks in.

【4】What does the author think of the research of fossils?

A．Ridiculous.

B．Complex.

C．Significant.

D．Inspiring.

24、   Located in the Atlantic Ocean halfway between Norway and Iceland, the Faroe Islands are a still-somewhat-undiscovered destination. Known for sweeping landscapes and sometimes-harsh weather, these islands definitely deserve a spot on your bucket list.

Fun things available here

·See the famous Mulafossur Waterfall in Gasadalur

·Hike to Trælanípa to see the Sørvágsvatn, the “floating lake”

·Hike to the Kallur Lighthouse on Kalsoy

·Go sea kayaking

·Attend a music festival (I loved the G! Festival)

·Drive out to the town of Gjógv

·See Saksun Church and the surrounding scenery

·Explore the capital city of Tórshavn

Getting around

Renting a car and driving is the best way to fully experience the Faroe Islands. Public transport does exist, but buses don’t run to most places very frequently. It is recommended that you book your car ahead of time, especially during the summer. (Search for rental cars here.)

Where to stay

Thanks to the roads, bridges, and tunnels, nothing is very far away in the Faroe Islands. You can get from Tórshavn to Tjørnuvkí or Gjógv in just over an hour— meaning you could easily base yourself in Tórshavn for your whole trip if you wanted.

If you do feel like staying outside of the capital for a night or two, consider making Gjógv your second base: Funningur is the only accommodation available in Gjógv, but it’s lovely. A nice guesthouse and restaurant sitting on a hill overlooking the village. (Read reviews on TripAdvisor | Book here)

25、Cheating in sport is as old as sport itself. The athletes of ancient Greece used potions to strengthen themselves before a contest, and their modern counterparts have everything from anabolic steroids (类固醇) to growth hormones with which to_________their bodies. These days, however, such stimulants are_________, and those athletes must therefore face the challenges of anti-doping (反兴奋剂) agencies.

The agencies have had remarkable success. Testing for anabolic steroids was introduced in the 1970s, and the incidence of cheating seems to have_________dramatically as a result. The tests, however, are not entirely_________. And a study just published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism by Jenny Jakobsson Schulze and her colleagues at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden suggests that an individual’s genetic make-up could_________the tests in two different ways. One genotype, may allow athletes who use anabolic steroids to escape detection altogether. Another may actually be convicting (给……定罪) the innocent.

The test employed for testosterone (睾酮素) abuse usually relies on measuring the_________of two chemicals found in the urine (尿液): TG. and EG.. Any ratio above four of the former to the latter is considered_________and leads to more tests. However, the production of TG is controlled by a gene called UGT2B17. This gene comes in two varieties, one of which has a part missing and therefore does not work properly. A person may thus have none, one or two working copies of UGT2B17, since he inherits one copy from each parent. Dr. Schulze_________that different numbers of working copies would produce different test results. She therefore gave healthy male volunteers whose genes had been examined a single 360mg shot of testosterone — the standard dose for legal medical use — and checked their urine to see whether the shot could be_________.

The result was remarkable. Nearly half of the men who carried no functional copies of UGT2B17 would have gone undetected in the standard doping test.____________, 14% of those with two functional copies of the gene were over the detection threshold (门槛) before they had even received an injection. The researchers estimate this would give a ____________rate of 9% in a random population of young men.

Dr. Schulze also says there is substantial____________variation in UGT2B17 genotypes. Two-thirds of Asians have no functional copies of the gene which means they have a naturally____________ratio of TG to EG, compared with under a tenth of Caucasians (白种人) — something the anti-doping bodies may wish to take into account.

In the meantime, Dr. Schulz’s study does seem to offer innocents a way of____________themselves. Athletes who will travel to Paris for the Olympic games may be wise to travel armed not only with courage and the “spirit of Olympianism”, but also with a copy of their____________, just in case.
