24、   Eating food is enjoyable, but cooking can be challenging. For those who don't have basic cooking skills, or are too busy working or traveling, one thing can save them—— instant noodles.

This year marks the 61st anniversary of the invention of instant noodles. Ever since they were created by Japanese businessman Momofuku Ando in 1958, instant noodles have been popular around the world. In China, the product has almost become a necessity for those who travel by train.

There are some fun facts about instant noodles: The total length of the noodles in one package is 51 meters. The first istant noodles were considered a luxury product. When they first came to Japanese supermart in 1958,they were 6 times the cost of fresh udon noodles. Japanese people even voted instant noodles as one of their best inventions of the 20th century.

For instant noodles, as well as many “instant” foods, convenience is the key selling point. They are supposed to make our lives easier.

. For example, in wars, soldiers eat compressed biscuits and canned meat because they don’t need to cook these foods. And in the 1960s, frozen dinners of fried chicken, mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables became popular in the US. This is because more women started working and had no time to cook.

In recent years, hower, online meal-ordering services have brought challenge to instant foods. Uber Eats is a popular app of this kind in the United States. In China, we have Ele. me, Dianning and Meituan. These services offer not only convenience but also more choices and tastier food. According to the World Instant Noodle Association, instant noodle sales dropped by 17 percent in China as of 2016.

This might show that Chinese people are now more interested in having higher-quality diets and not just simply filling their bellies, experts say.

26、To me, the concept(概念) of home changes along with my age all the time.

In my childhood, home was a number of calls. It seems that I had more free time than today’s children. I didn’t have to show up in front of my parents right after school, instead I would go to play with my classmates who lived in the neighborhood. We played like mad until dinner was ready and our parents called “Come back! Come home for supper!” Days passed by as I grew up in the company of those calls which are still echoing(回响) in my ears even now.

In a short while, my childhood was gone. When a thin layer of hair(胡须) began to grow around the corners of my mouth, home became a place I tried to run away from.

As I read more and more, my world opened up, larger than before me. The bed I used to sleep in became too small, and words of care from my parents began to sound meaningless. How I wished I could have a space of my own someday! Later I was joined the army and put on the green uniform. During my service days, home was the series of letters I received one after another. My most homesick moments were when I read those letters from my family.

When I got a job, I began to get “hurt”, to rise and fall in a sea of people, and to understand that you can’t share all your pains with other people, even with your best friends. So again, another wave of homesickness came over me. When I was badly hurt, I imagined myself flying home on wings. Pushing open the door, I let tears flow down my face. At that moment I felt that as large as the world was, what I needed was only the familiar smell of home and the unchanged view outside the window of my old house…

……

Although I already have much life experience behind me, I know there is still a long way ahead and my concept of home will go on developing. But already I have come to see that home is where we can find the true meaning of all the busy rush life. What makes the concept different is that sometimes it refers to a person’s home and sometimes to the home of many, many people.

【1】What does the underlined word “company” mean in Chinese in Paragraph 2?

A. 公司 B. 陪伴 C. 友情 D. 氛围

【3】What is the best title for the passage?

A.Missing my parents and home

B. His home he tries to run away from

C. A changing concept of home

D. A developing home

27、   History that's hard to trace

Since December, there have been tens of thousands of COVID-19 cases both in and out of China, caused by a previous virus we don't know: novel coronavirus.

It's not the first time for viruses to make headlines. Viruses have brought big trouble to humans, with their potential to cause widespread disease and death.

What are they? Viruses are considered to be non-living organisms (有机物) They can infect animals and plants, making them sick. They include genetic materials like DNA and are protected by a coating of protein.

Unlike bacteria (细菌)，viruses can't reproduce (繁殖)on their own. Instead, they invaded the cells of living organisms to reproduce, spread and take over. But the basic question is, where did viruses first come from?

Until now, we still have no clear explanation for their origin (起源). “Tracing the origins of viruses is difficult,” Ed Rybicki, a virologist at the university of Cape Town in South Africa, told Scientific American, “because viruses don't leave fossils (化石) and because of the tricks they use to make copies of themselves within the cells they’ve invaded.”

Understanding the origins of viruses means fully understanding the history of their hosts--not only humans, but also bacteria, plants and other animals, which is a complicated task, says Nature.

However, here are three main theories to explain the origin of viruses. First, viruses started as independent organisms, then became parasites(寄生者). Second, viruses evolved(逐渐形成) from pieces of DNA or RNA that “escaped” from larger organisms. The third one is that viruses co-evolved with their host cells, which means they existed alongside these cells.

For the time being, these are only these theories. The technology and poofs we have today cannot be used to test these theories and discover the most reasonable explanation. Continuing studies may provide us with clearer answers. Or future studies may find that the answer is even more mysterious than it now appears.

【1】What can we lean about viruses from the article?

A.The mainly infect animals and plants. B.They are really small living organisms.

C.They are more dangerous than bacteria. D.They can't reproduce unless they find a host cell.

【2】Which of the following might explain the origin of viruses?

A.They evolved along with their host cells.

B.They evolved from the DNA or RNA in animals.

C.They evolved from the fossils of large organisms.

D.They evolved from parasites to independent organisms.

【3】What do we learn from the article?

A.Viruses live longer in human host cells than in animals'.

B.Viruses will become more like bacteria as they evolve.

C.It may take a long time to understand the origin of viruses.

D.The author is confident about future virus research.

28、请根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，并将答案填写在答题卡相应位置上。

A 22-year-old British student has invented(发明) a mobile fridge, “Isobar”, which could save millions of lives in the world.

Will Broadway’s “Isobar” has been designed to k【1】 vaccines (疫苗) at the ideal temperature while they are being sent in developing countries. And Will doesn’t plan to make money from his creation. His p【2】 is to get vaccines to people who need them, which is why he won’t be trying to get a patent(专利). Will’s Isobar has w【3】 him the James Dyson Award that challenges young people to design something that solves a problem.

Present methods of transporting vaccines can l【4】to the vaccines freezing(冻住) before reaching their places in developing countries, b【5】 the Isobar keeps a temperature of 2 to 8 degrees for 30 days.

Will’s invention is expected to save the lives of 1.5 million people a【6】 the world. After finishing college education, he is making an effort to take the Isobar into production. “I will be hands-on, all the way through it, and m【7】 sure that it works, ” he says.

The product has been designed to transport vaccines, but already Will sees the possibility for other m【8】 uses in the developing world and beyond. “Blood donations, organ transplants(器官移植) —if they get trapped in t【9】, you still use cold-bags that really aren’t good enough for a long time, ” he says.

There is also a possible, non-medical use for the Isobar. “It would be a great thing to take on a five-day trip w【10】 you have no power,” he says. But he insists vaccine transportation is the primary function (功能) of his invention.
