It all started when I learned to read, or rather, before I learned to read.
Throughout my childhood, I’d always had a bunch of ideas about who I would
become when I was older. I’d be an inventor, a doctor, a waitress, or an artist. But
the ideas ran out in middle school. I spent a few years wandering aimlessly through
life, having no clue what I was passionate about.
In my first year of high school, I had an English teacher — let’s call her Mrs. A
— who changed my life. She was the type of person who captured everyone’s
attention the second they walked in a room. Midway through the year, I realized that
I didn’t just want to get a good grade in her class for my own sake, but I wanted to
make her proud. Months went by, and I worked harder. I wrote in class and practiced
essays at home on top of that. And each time, I’d bring it to her for feedback.
“Veronica,” said Mrs. A after pulling me aside on the last day of school. “I told the
editors of the school newspaper you should write for them.” Not aimlessly anymore
— I had a destination. I had decided I’d become a writer. Doing well at the school
newspaper was the first step to get there.
No way. They wouldn’t take me. I applied anyway. A few months later, I was
editor-in-chief.
Thirteen years after I wrote my first word, three years after Mrs. A gave me the
“go ahead”, I’m writing for newspapers all around the world. Each article reminds
me of the little girl who said she’d become a writer.
It’s still the bottom rung of the ladder, and I’ve got miles left to climb, but at
least I’ve made it somewhere.
24. Which of the following words best describe Mrs. A?
A. Patient and intelligent. B. Inspiring and remarkable.
C. Out-going and helpful. D. Approachable and imaginative.
25. How did the author feel when applying for the school paper?
A. Panicked. B. Surprised. C. Confused. D. Unconfident.
26. What did Mrs. A encourage the author to do by saying “go ahead”?
A. Be brave enough to try.
B. Be ready to voice her opinions.
C. Cherish whatever life has to offer.
D. Continue to improve her writing skills.
27.What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To inspire passion for writing. B. To discuss a teacher’s role
C. To highlight the key to success. D. To share her journey to writing.
C
Amaranth, an ancient plant, is drawing attention throughout the world and
connecting indigenous people(土著人) to their history. Since the 1970s,
Amaranth has become a billion-dollar food and makeup product. Health-conscious
shoppers will find it in rising numbers of grocery stores in the US and Mexico, and,
increasingly, in Europe and the Asia Pacific.
“This is a plant that could feed the world,” said Beata from a nonprofit
organization. Amaranth is actually a grain, like buckwheat (荞麦). Its seed is a highly
nutritious source of protein, vitamins and minerals. A single amaranth plant produces
hundreds of seeds, and a small handful of seeds will turn into hundred-pound bags
of harvest the next season. Growing amaranth has provided a degree of economic
independence for indigenous farmers in Guatemala and the US. The 8000-year-old
plant tolerates a wide variety of climate conditions. Native to Mesoamerica, it is also
grown in China, India, south-east Asia, west Africa and the Caribbean.
It’s this toughness that allowed the plant to survive over the centuries, even when
the Spanish arrived in the Americas in the 16th century and banned amaranth.
Amaranth faced another near-extinction when state forces began targeting the Maya
people, and burning their fields, during the civil war. To preserve their traditional
foods, Mayan farmers poured seeds into glass jars to bury in their fields or hide under
floorboards.
“What we want is for the whole world to produce their own food,” said Maria,
a member of agricultural community Qachuu Aloom. “For the seeds, distance
doesn’t exist. Borders don’t exist.” Most recently, Maria said that during the
pandemic, people within their own gardens, especially in locked down communities,
felt secure knowing they had control over their food supply, thanks to amaranth.
“Amaranth has completely changed the lives of families in our communities, not
only economically, but spiritually,” added Maria.
28. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?
A. Amaranth offers many health benefits.
B. Amaranth is an ancient but useful plant.
C. Amaranth is gaining growing popularity.
D. Amaranth connects people to their history.
29. What has made Amaranth an 8000-year-old plant?
A. Its tough root. B. Its unforgettable flavor.
C. Its balanced nutrition. D. Its amazing adaptability.
30. According to Maria, what can Amaranth bring people?
A. Bodily health. B. Spiritual security.
C. Greater wealth. D. Closer relationship.
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. How to Fight Food Shortage
B. Ancient Plant’s Amazing History
C. A Plant That Could Feed The World
D. How A Plant Promotes A Healthy Life

Mosquitoes carry malaria, which kills thousands of people each year. Now some
researchers are trying to use genetic engineering to make the annoying insects into
partners in the fight against the disease.
For years, public health officials have tried to limit the disease by controlling
mosquito populations. “But that approach is temporary,” says Anthony James, a
professor of biology and genetics at the University of California, Irvine, “Because
mosquitoes are extremely tough little insects, and their populations can quickly
rebound.”
Therefore, James and his colleagues want to try a different approach: making
mosquitoes themselves into malaria-fighting warriors, which is a complete departure
from traditional ways of controlling malaria.
To understand how it works, it helps to understand the life cycle of malaria. The
malaria pathogen (病原体) is a parasite (寄生虫) that grows inside humans. It’s
passed via mosquitoes that move from person to person, sucking blood. “If we can
make the mosquitoes difficult for the pathogens to survive, we can wipe out the
disease,” he says. But making mosquitoes uninviting to malaria is a tough job.
To solve the problem, the team used a gene-editing technique called CRISPR.
They started with genes from mice, whose immune systems do fight human malaria,
engineered those genes, and then gave them to the mosquitoes.
It turned out the malaria-fighting antibodies which gene-edited mosquitoes
produced worked very well. They reduced the number of parasites in the mosquito
before they were passed to a human host.
James’ team are now working on planning a field trial, which he hopes could be
conducted on an island or in another isolated location.
But genetically changing wild animals does not sit well with environmentalists.
“There’s no need to engineer a mosquito,” says Dana Perls, senior program manager
for the emerging technology program at the non-profit Friends of the Earth. Perls
points out that naturally occurring methods for reducing malaria appear to be
showing promise, as does a new vaccine (疫苗 ) against the disease. “Why take
unnecessary risks and release a species that can’t be recalled once it’s released into
the wild?” she asks.
32. What can we know from the second and third paragraphs?
A. Mosquitoes reproduce quickly.
B. Mosquitoes depart from malaria.
C. Mosquitoes are malaria-fighting warriors.
D. Mosquitoes’ populations are under control.
33. According to the text, which of the following are attractive to the malaria
pathogen?
A. Mice. B. Parasites. C. Mosquitoes. D. Gene-edited mosquitoes.
34. What is environmentalists’ attitude toward this new approach?
A. Tolerant. B. Favorable. C. Objective. D. Disapproving.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Limiting Malaria by Controlling Mosquito Populations
B. Controlling Malaria by Editing Mosquitoes’ Genes
C. Curing Malaria with Gene-edited Mosquitoes
D. Preventing Malaria with a New Vaccine

The way we watch television has changed, as many of us no longer follow the
old model of television. In the past, a new episode of a show was released once a
week. 36 People, therefore, have created a new term: binge-watching (狂欢式
刷剧). It is used to describe the behavior of watching many episodes of a whole
series in a row.
37 In fact, a 2018 Morning Consult poll (民意调查) found that 60 percent
of American adults who watched shows binge-watched. The percentage even
increased among younger audiences. 38
Of course, every new cultural behavior has its accompanying health
consequences. What is binge-watching doing to our health? 39 They sent an 18-
question survey to 926 adults who owned a television and at least one other device
with a screen. They found that heavy screen time users averaged 17.5 hours of
screen-use every day. They also reported that this group’s health condition was
worse than light users.
Interestingly, researchers also discovered a connection between binge-
watching and greater stress. The result is surprising. 40 It might have been
believed that people are turning to binge-watching to deal with anxiety and stress.
However, that’s not the case. It could be the case that people will suffer from greater
stress if watching more shows continuously.
A. Every new cultural behavior has its own causes.
B. Nowadays, binge-watching is a common behavior.
C. Now, many companies release a whole series at once.
D. People are more stressed out if they’re binge-watching.
E. Researchers at Arizona State University wanted to figure this out.
F. 73 percent of 18-to-29-year-olds binge-watched at least once a week.
G. Researchers identified binge-watchers by asking how long they watched
television.

This story happened when I was in Saint Lucia for a holiday.
My sister, Diana, who kept 41 with me for the holiday, went blind in one
eye about 9 years ago. Diana sometimes is 42 about the way her eye looks.
The pupil (瞳孔) is no longer black; it’s sort of “flaming” in photos. Diana recently
43 a special contact lens (隐形眼镜片) that makes her 44 look normal,
but she doesn’t wear it often because it becomes quite painful after about an hour.
One night, a photographer 45 by the hotel to take pictures of the guests as
they entered the dinner area was snapping us. Diana 46 said if she had known
there were pictures taken to save this special 47 , she would have worn her
contact lens so her eye wouldn’t be so 48 in the picture.
The next day, while I was sitting with Diana talking, the same photographer
handed her a photo, and quietly said, “I 49 the color of your eyes in the picture.”
As he walked away, my sister happily said to me, “Look! He fixed my eye!” Hearing
this, the photographer 50 , walked back and said, “Just to be clear: I didn’t 51
your eye. There isn’t anything wrong with your eye. I 52 had the color of
your eyes go well with each other.”
Her eyes filled up with tears. It was very 53 for her heart to hear these
beautiful words. It helped her change the 54 she feels about herself, and the
picture, or rather, the 55 of human kindness has stuck in her memory ever
since.

Four astronauts returned to Earth in a SpaceX capsule (太空舱) Friday, 56
(end) their nearly six-month space station mission with a splashdown in the Atlantic.
Wet and windy weather across Florida delayed their homecoming. SpaceX and
NASA 57 (final) gave the all-clear on Friday, and the three Americans and
one Italian 58 (depart) the International Space Station, their residence since
April.
The capsule parachuted (降落) into the ocean, just off Jacksonville, Florida,
about five hours after 59 left the space station. It carried NASA astronauts
Kjell Lindgren, Bob Hines and Jessica Watkins, the first Black woman 60
(complete) a long-term spaceflight, and the European Space Agency’s Samantha
Cristoforetti. SpaceX delivered their replacements last week.
Before checking out, the astronauts said they couldn’t wait to have 61
cold drink with ice, eat some pizza and ice cream, take a shower, 62 , of course,
