26、   A little over a year ago on Jan 3, 2019, China’s Chang’e 4 spacecraft did something that had never been done before – landing on the moon’s far side. Ever since then, the rover it carried – Yutu 2 – has been sending back pictures of the lesser-seen side of our neighboring satellite.

Now, the rover has shifted its sight from horizontal to vertical. In a paper published in the journal Science Advances on Feb 26, Chinese scientists revealed the underground structure of the Von Karman crater – the area where Yutu 2 touched down. Using ground-penetrating radar, Yutu 2 was able to detect three distinct layers in the 40 meters beneath the floor of the crater, which Science News compares to “layers of a cake”.

The top 12-meter layer is made up of fine dust and soil—a bit like the frosting on a cake. The second layer, stretching another 12 meters below, contains a great number of large stones that are like “cherries in a fruitcake”, wrote Science News. And the next layer—which runs from 24 meters down to 40 meters – is a mixture of both large and fine materials, just like the whole-wheat bread base of a cake.

This “layered cake” provides us with a glimpse into moon’s four billion-year history – and it was likely to be a violent one.

According to the study’s leader, Su Yan, based at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the rocks in the layers are possibly leftover debris from past impacts, suggesting asteroid collisions. The finer soil is the sign of smaller meteorite collisions, breaking down the rocks into smaller pieces, which were then gradually degraded by the radiation from the sun.

But quite unlike a cake, the moon floor doesn’t just stop at the third layer. Instead, it stretches miles deeper. The reason that Yutu 2’s data stopped at 40 meters was that it reached its maximum range. It may seem like a pity that it couldn’t go any farther for now, but the truth is that the technology has improved a lot since it was first used in 1972 by America’s Apollo 17 orbiter to map the structure of the moon.

“The previous measurements indicated different layers, but they don’t seem to have come up with the level of detail about the physical properties of the subsurface that Chang’e 4 is producing,” Gretchen Benedix, a planetary scientist at Curtin University, Australia, told ABC News.

Forty meters down is just the beginning of our research into the moon’s far side. With the aid of new technology, who knows what we could discover if we delved even deeper?

【1】What does Paragraph 2 suggest?

A.The rover detected the atmosphere of the moon.

B.The rover had left the far side of the moon.

C.The rover discovered the Von Karman crater with its radar.

D.The rover detected the underground structure of a crater.

【2】What does the second layer of the crater contain?

A.Fine dust. B.Soil.

C.Large stones. D.A mixture of both large and fine materials.

【3】What does Paragraph 5 tell us?

A.How important the three layers are to the crater.

B.Why the moon probably had a violent history.

C.How asteroids changed the moon’s surface.

D.Why meteorite collisions happen frequently.

【4】What does Gretchen Benedix probably think of the measurements of Chang’e-4?

A.They lack details. B.They are beyond expectations.

C.They repeated the previous study. D.They are praiseworthy.

27、For most of human history, people raised crops and livestock to feed their households rather than to sell them for profit. This began to shift after the Industrial Revolution, which saw the rise of plantation farming.

Industrial farming not only increased the crop-growing areas, but changed the techniques used by farmers. Instead of switching the crops that were grown on a field each year, entire plantations would be devoted to a single crop. This approach and intensive modes of farming led to destruction of local biodiversity and land worsening-within years, fields would cease to produce crops.

Plantations of the 18th and 19th centuries were a “get rich quick plan” rather than a long- term investment. Once a field became unusable, plantation owners would simply move on to new land. Up to the end of the 19h century, wide areas of our planet were still not claimed by global modernity. But today, while we are quickly running out of vegetative (覆盖植被的) land, this mindset continues. “Farmers still hold the view that land is cheap and limitless,” said Crystal Davis from the World Resources Institute. “Most of them just cut down more trees, when new land is needed.”

“To meet our ecological goals, we need to stop turning natural ecosystems to farmland,” Davis said. “We can achieve this in part by bringing back the land’s ecological wholeness and productivity.”

Davis points to the 20×20 initiative (倡议), which has seen 18 South American and Caribbean countries commit to recovering 50m hectares of land by 2030. It includes a number of projects aimed at introducing agroforestry (混农林业) practices to cocoa and coffee farms in Colombia and Nicaragua. There farmers are encouraged to grow crops while introducing more trees to their land.

【1】What can we learn about industrial farming?

A．It existed for most of human history.

【2】Which of the following do most farmers do at present?

A．Abuse the land for quick profit.

B．Desert wide areas of plantations.

【3】What can be inferred about the 20×20 initiative?

A．It advocates eco-friendly farming.

B．It involves countries around the world.

C．It encourages farmers to develop more land.

D．It focuses on increasing cocoa and coffee output.

【4】Which is the most suitable title for the text?

A．How Can We Take up Farming?

B．How Can We Feed the World?

C．Meeting Our Ecological Goals

D．Shifting to Regenerative Agriculture

28、Welcome to your future life!

You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people your age could live to be 150, so at 40, you’re not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging(抗衰老的) treatment. Now, all three of look the same age!

You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body. The particles can be programmed to change clothes’ color or pattern.

You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says,“ You shouldn’t drink that!” Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk , and it knows the milk is old . In 2035, every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.

It’s time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve. Such “smart technology” is all around you.

So will all these things come true? “For new technology to succeed,” says scientist Andrew Zolli ,”it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.” The Internet is one example—what will be the next?

【1】We can learn from the text that in the future__________.

A. people will never get old

B. everyone will look the same

C. red will be the most popular color

【3】Which of the following is mentioned in the text?

A. Nothing can replace the Internet.

B. Fridges will know what people need.

C. Jacked sleeves can be used as a guide.

D. Cars will be able to drive automatically.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A. Food and clothing in 2035.

B. Future technology in everyday life.

C. Medical treatments of the future.

D. The reason for the success of new technology.

29、   By the time Robert Porter Allen was born in 1905, the whooping crane(鸣鹤)was already in trouble. The beautiful bird was once commonly found across North America. By 1941,the whooping crane population had dwindled to the double digits (数字).The tallest species in North America were critically endangered.

In the1940s, the remaining cranes migrate(迁徙)every year from the Gulf Coast of Texas to somewhere in the north of Canada to breed (繁殖). The conservation community didn't know where the birds went. The wetlands where they used to spend winters were growing rarer and rarer.

In 1942, Allen undertook the whooping crane project. Over the next three years, he did almost constant field work that took him from Texas up the cranes' migration route to Nebraska, and on into Saskatchewan in search of the nesting ground of the birds.

In 1952, Allen wrote a report on the whooping crane. The report was a warning call to the conservation community: only 33 migratory whoopers remained, and their nesting site still hadn't been found. Two years later, the whooping cranes breeding grounds in Canada's Wood Buffalo National Park were finally found, and Allen headed north to study them firsthand. Allen’s work laid the groundwork for conservationists lo save the birds.

Their efforts paid off as the numbers reached 57 by 1970 and 214 by 2005.Today, the whooping crane is still listed as endangered, but there are roughly 600 birds alive.

【1】Which of the following events took place in 1954?

A．The non-migrating group of whooping cranes disappeared.

B．Robert Potter Allen undertook the whooping crane project.

C．The whooping cranes breeding grounds were discovered.

D．Robert Porter Allen wrote a report on the whooping crane.

【2】What does the underlined word "dwindled" mean in the first paragraph?

A．Increased.

B．Reduced.

C．Stayed.

D．Limited.

【3】Which is mainly responsible for what happened to the remaining whooping cranes?

A．Loss of living places.

B．Illegal hunting.

C．Natural disaster.

D．Deadly diseases.

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A．It is a story about Allen's searching for a lost bird.

B．It is a story about the cranes' long migration flight.

C．It is a story about the crane surviving the winters.

D．It is a story about conserving the whooping crane.

32、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

“How can I buy a present without any money?” he thought.

Jim picked up the newspaper that was lying on the couch. He noticed a large advertisement on the front page. The local department store was sponsoring a contest. “Tell us why your mom is special and win a shopping spree (狂欢购物) for her,” said the ad.

“This is perfect!” thought Jim. He ran to his room with the newspaper. Taking a pencil and a blank piece of paper from his desk, he started to write.

“My mom is the best mother in the world. She always makes a lunch for me to take to school and she never forgets my dessert. She reads as many books to me before bed as I want. She always remembers to check under the bed for monster. And she gives the best hugs, but never in front of my friends, who would laugh at me for hugging my mom.”

Jim liked what he had written. He copied it neatly and got an envelope and a stamp from his dad. He ran to the mailbox with his entry. “Mom will love having a shopping spree, ” he thought.

Jim checked the mailbox every day for his prize. Days passed by, and then weeks.

Soon it was the day before Mother’s Day. Jim still had not heard anything about the contest. With time going by, the mixed feeling of disappointment and anxiety was growing in his heart.
