21、   Pastime is a bi-monthly magazine for curious young minds. Many of the topics we write about won’t be covered in the classroom. All the articles are written in a lively style, and each one is paired with drawings by some of the country’s most talented artists.

◆ History focuses on archaeological (考古的) sites around the world where archaeologists work to unearth important finds.

◆ World includes stories about daily life, folk tales, history and traditions of the people and places.

◆ Sport includes nutrition tips, information about up-and-coming young athletes, and sports events.

◆ Art stimulates a child’s cultural life, from film to theatre through to writing and music.

On top of all that, Pastime is packed with items to stimulate a youngster’s imagination, including pages of puzzles and a step-by-step guide to creating their own impressive-looking drawings.

In every issue, we review the latest books top authors write for youngsters. There are also short works of fiction written especially for Pastime by some of our best writers.

We know that children at this age are dealing with many emotions and sometimes difficult feelings, so we have a personal advice page to reply to questions dealing with personal and moral problems.

Unlike many of today’s throwaway comics, Pastime is written and designed to be kept and treasured. We know children love going online—but we also know how much they enjoy holding a printed magazine in their hands and the excitement they get when each new issue drops through the letterbox personally addressed to them.

22、Private Butler (管家)

Typical salary: £60,000 to £90,000, or more. "An entry level butler we’ve trained will walk into a salary of £35,000, while a very experienced private butler can earn up to £150,000," says Sara Vestin, director of the British Butler Academy.

The job: A private butler can be called on by his or her employer to do anything from wardrobe management to chauffeuring to pet care. Typical duties include managing other staff, serving at every meal, running errands, looking after guests, booking restaurants, house security, housekeeping, cooking and anything else the household needs. But most of all, it’s personal service, tailored to the very wealthy individual the butler works for.

Qualifications: No special qualifications are required, but it’s advisable to do a course at a training college such as Vestin’s British Butler Academy or the British Butler Institute. "Recruitment consultants and VIP clients come to our mansion to scout out the good students." Vestin says.

To succeed as a butler, you need…a ‘service mind’, says Vestin. You must have the mindset of someone who genuinely thrives on looking after others. "You cannot do the job without this, even if you were an amazing actor. Some people have it and some don’t." Also, she says, it’s essential to have an eye for detail, a steady hand and the ability to deal with all sorts of people.

Worst thing about the job: Long hours and an unpredictable work schedule mean it’s difficult to have a family life. Butlers also suffer from isolation and cultural differences with their employer and they may be obliged to work for people who aren’t always nice.

【1】Which of the following is true of a butler?

A．A course at a training college is a must in order to get the job.

B．A butler should be able to tailor his service to his clients.

C．Male butlers are favored over female ones.

D．There is no ceiling of salary.

【2】The underlined word “thrives on” in the passage probably means _______.

A．is reminded of.

B．is capable of.

C．is convinced of.

D．is in favour of.

【3】Which is not the downside of being a butler?

A．Cultural misunderstanding may arise.

B．The job may make one’s family life difficult.

C．Sometimes they have to work for impolite clients.

D．They may enjoy the company of his or her clients.

23、Food made from atmospheric carbon could feed the world while helping to fight climate change, according to Solar Foods, a Finnish company founded in 2017.“We can collect CO2 anywhere,” said its CEO Pasi Vainika, whose company has developed a protein powder made using CO2. “That’s a strategic shift where raw materials are in the air. ” The protein powder, called Solein, can be turned into meat and dairy substitutes or added tofoods and shakes.

Solar Foods uses special units to pull CO2 from the atmosphere. To turn it into protein,microbes (微 物),similar to those in the production of wine and yogurt, will be fed on it to grow and reproduce. During the process, water is split into hydrogen and oxygen. Along with a growth medium containing necessary minerals, the three gases are pumped in to feed the microbes. Harvested and dried, that remaining mixture becomes Solein—a yellow powder made up of single-cell protein, with a nutrient composition similar to wheat flour.

Solar Foods claims that Solein removes most of the emissions associated with modern agriculture, which is responsible for almost one-third of all greenhouse gas emissions. “One kilogram of Solein sends out 0.2 kilogram of CO2e(二 氧化碳当量).In comparison.beef herds produce around 100 kilograms and chicken 10 kilograms,” said Vainikka. “ We can rermove the climate impact of modem food systems on the planet, which today account for about 30 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions.” He further stressed that while the company’s factories also require some land used for industrial farming, only about one-tenth of the land is needed compared to photosynthesis (光合作用）. “We could free up agricultural land to grow back forests,” he added, “and those remove carbon permanently from the atmosphere.”

Probably optimists are now contenting themselves with the pleasant scene of masses of trees absorbing CO2: on the planet. However, while that may sound great, Vainikka put it right, “It can happen only if we produce enough Solein from CO, to replace meat and dairy at a large scale.”And that still remains a long way to go.

【1】What can we say about Solein?

A．It is in the air.

B．It can be changed into meat.

C．It can take in CO2.

D．It is good for the environment.

【2】What are needed to produce Solein according to Paragraph 2?

A．Wine and water.

B．Water and minerals.

C．Mierobes and yogurt.

D．Wine and microbes.

【3】What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us about Solein?

A．Its present situation.

B．Its possible benefits.

C．Its production process.

D．Its potential drawbacks.

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

A．Air Protein Produced, CO, Reduced

B．Collecting Air, Removing CO2

C．Climate Changing, Danger Coming

D．Protect Earth, Save Ourselves

24、Swimming in an ocean of stars

Ladies and Gentlemen,

It’s my great honor to receive the Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society. Thank you.

I started writing sci-fi because I looked for a way to escape the dull life, and to reach out, with imagination, to the mysterious time and space that I could never truly reach. But then I realized that the world around me became more and more like science fiction, and this process is speeding up. Future is like pouring rain. It reaches us even before we have time to open the umbrella. Meanwhile, when sci-fi becomes reality, it loses all its magic, and that frustrates me. Sci-fi will soon become part of our lives. The only thing I can do, is to push my imagination further to even more distant time and space to hunt for the mysteries of sci-fi. As a sci-fi author, I think my job is to write things down before they get really boring.

This being said, the world is moving in the direction opposite to Clarke’s predictions. In 2001, A Space Odyssey, in the year of 2001, which has already passed, human beings have built magnificent cities in space, and established permanent colonies on the moon, and huge nuclear-powered spacecraft have sailed to Saturn. However, today, in 2018, the walk on the moon has become a distant memory. And the furthest reach of our manned space flights is just as long as the two-hour mileage of a high-speed train passing through my city.

As a sci-fi writer, I have been striving to continue Arthur Clarke’s imagination. I believe that the boundless space is still the best direction and destination for human imagination. I have always written about the magnitude and mysteries of the universe, interstellar expeditions, and the lives and civilizations happening in distant worlds. This remains today, although this may seem childish or even outdated. It says on Arthur Clarke’s epitaph,“He never grew up, but he never stopped growing.”

Many people misunderstand sci-fi as trying to predict the future, but this is not true. It just makes a list of possibilities of what may happen in the future, like displaying a pile of cobblestones for people to see and play with. Science fiction can never tell which scenario of the future will actually become the real future. This is not its job. It’s also beyond its capabilities. But one thing is certain: in the long run, for all these countless possible futures, any future without space travel is gloomy, no matter how prosperous our own planet becomes.

Sci-fi was writing about the age of digital information and it eventually became true. I now look forward to the time when space travel finally becomes the ordinary. By then, Mars and the asteroid belts will be boring places and countless people are building a home over there. Jupiter and its many satellites will be tourist attractions. The only obstacle preventing people from going there for good, will be the crazy price.

But even at that time, the universe is still unimaginably big that even our wildest imagination fails to catch its edge. And even the closest star remains out of reach. The vast ocean of stars can always carry our infinite imagination.

Thank you all.

【1】What does the writer mean by the underlined sentence in the second paragraph?

A.Science technology has been developing fast before we realize it.

B.What happened in our life was mysterious and beyond our imagination.

C.We had a good outlook for the future and were desperate to realize our dream.

D.We managed to escape from the boring life and looked forward to the prosperous future.

【2】What can we learn from the third paragraph?

A.What Clarke foresaw is childish and out of date, going against scientific theories.

B.It is feasible for human beings to fulfill challenging space missions that Clarke forecast.

C.Human beings have deserted imaging and exploring the attractive and boundless space.

D.Clarke’s predictions haven’t happened in real life and the reality won’t change very soon.

【3】According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?

A.What is written in science fiction can never become a reality.

B.The writer considers it his duty to create sci-fi with author Clarke.

C.Science fiction provides readers with possibilities that future will bring about.

D.High price will likely stop humans from dreaming of living on other planets.

【4】What’s the writer’s attitude towards sci-fi creation?

A.Curious B.Passionate

C.Concerned D.Suspicious

25、   Spelling was sort of my superpower. I wasn’t a math or science guy, but I could chew and _________ books.

“Your word is onomatopoeia,” said the announcer.

I didn’t _________ at all. “Anyway, I won the school bee.” “Don’t be proud. You’ll soon be facing the best of the best in the county bee.”

“Will they _________ me? I am the alpha-best with no efforts at all.” After six rounds, the number of students _________ from more than 100 to just seven and I was one out of the seven. If I had been given words like aerospace or conical, I’d make __________ already. Unfortunately, I crashed with the word maestro at last. I stood __________ for the longest moment.

The final winner acted the exact __________ of mine. He accepted his trophy with a small bow, and then shook hands with the runner-up (亚军). I got to know Deandra’s words __________.

I apologized to Alexa, “I’m sorry I was so impolite when I won.” “How was the county bee?” Alexa asked. “A __________.” “If you need a study partner for next time, I’m happy to help.” “Really? Let’s __________ on it, partner.” “Better late than never,” Alexa said, shaking my hand.
