Mack faced many challenges during his adventure.Because of his small-sized aircraft,he had to land whenever the weather got too rough.However,at some points he literally()couldn't land,such as when flying non-stop for 10 hours over an ocean.At other points,he faced extremely hot weather,such as in Dubai.In Sudan,a country in Africa,Mack also faced sandstorms which made it hard for him to see where he was going.Mack battled strong winds and pouring rain during his flight,but he never stopped smiling,joking and updating his flowers on his social media account along the way,and managed to expertly pilot his plane to safety. And if Mack's surname "Rutherford"sounds familiar,it's because his elder sister Zara also flew around the world earlier this year,and still holds the female version of the record!The Rutherford siblings(兄弟姐妹)were inspired by their parents to become pilots.“I have known for certain I wanted to fly since I was eleven,"Mack said,"My dad Sam is a professional ferry pilot, my mum Beatrice is a recreational private pilot." Mack hopes to inspire young people to begin working towards their own goals,"No matter what background you have,I believe it is never too early to work towards your dreams and you shouldn't limit yourself by others'expectations."With both feet firmly back on the ground now,it's time for Mack to turn his attention towards catching up on his schoolwork! 24.What can we know about Mack's flight?

B.To encourage young people to become pilots. C.To free young people of worries about school work. D.To inspire young people to fight for their dreams. C Bowhead whales can live 200 years or longer.How they do it is no longer among the secrets 4 of the deep.Scientists have mapped the genetic code of this long lived whale species.The international effort found unusual features in the Arctic whale's genes.Those features likely protect the species against cancer and other problems related to old age.The researchers hope their findings will one day translate into ways to help people too. "We hope to leam what is the secret of bowhead whales living longer,healthier lives,"says Joao Pedru de Magalhes.He is a gerontologist at the University of Liverpool in England. (Gerontology is the scientific study of old age.)He is also a co-author of the study that appeared in Cell Reports.His team hopes,he says,that its new findings might one day be used to improve human health and preserve human life No other mammals are known to live as long as the bowhead whales.Scientists have shown that some of these whales have lived well beyond 100-including one that survived to 216.For perspective,if he were still alive,Abraham Lincoln would be turning just 211 this year. Dr.Magalhaes'team wanted to understand how the bowhead can live so long.To find out this, the experts analyzed the animal's complete set of genes,called its genome.Those instructions are coded in the animal's DNA.The team also compared the whale's genome to that of people,mice and cows. The scientists discovered differences,including mutations,in the whale's genes.Those changes are linked to cancer,aging and cell growth.The results suggest that the whales are better than humans at repairing their DNA.That's important because flawed DNA can lead to disease,including some cancers. Bowhead whales are also better at keeping abnormally dividing cells in check.Together,the changes appear to allow bowhead whales to live longer without developing age related diseases such as cancer,said Magalhaes. 28.What does the example of Lincoln in paragraph 3 indicate? A.Lincoln should have lived much longer. B.The lifetime of bowhead whales is very long. C.Lincoln died one hundred years ago. D.Their study unlocked the secret of Lincoln's death. 29.What contributes to the long life of the bowhead whale according to the study? A.It faces little danger in its life. B.Its DNA has a strong ability of self-repairing. C.It has a complete set of genetic instructions. D.Its living environment is better than that of humans. 30.What does the underlined word "flawed"in paragraph 5 probably mean? A.Changed. B.Misled. C.Damaged. D.Repaired. 31.What can be inferred from the passage? A.Bowhead whales may unlock the secrets of a long,healthy life. 5 B.The bowhead is the animal which lives the longest. C.Scientists have found new long-living DNAs in bowhead whales. D.Scientists have found ways to treat humans'disease. D It is sometimes jokingly said that you may skip a meal a day without any bad effect but skip using your WeChat for an hour and you will feel distinctly unwell.It is an acknowledgement of the fact that the app is no longer only a fun tool but an essential part of life for millions. Launched in January 2011,this messaging,social media and mobile payment app today has more than 1 billion individual users.People use it for everything,from applying for a business license to booking a hospital appointment to keeping up with family and friends,shopping and paying bills-activities that are part and parcel of our everyday life When it was first introduced,WeChat was only an app supporting voice,video,picture and text messages between two persons or among a group.But today it has become ubiquitous. In the past,people carried their wallet and keys with them wherever they went;today,a smart phone with WeChat installed is all they need in daily life.Its functions like Moments and mini programs and the official WeChat accounts of government agencies and companies have made communication and public services accessible and convenient like never before. WeChat is also widely used by enterprises().Figures from Tencent show there are around 15 million WeChat official accounts,which enjoy 5 billion followers.Most businesses use their WeChat groups as a standard marketing kit.This has greatly reduced advertising,marketing and communication costs. However,there are concerns about the downsides of WeChat,such as addiction among primary school children.Equally serious is the misuse of WeChat for cheating or other crimes.However,it has to be kept in mind that these fallouts are not really the fault of WeChat,but due to the misuse of the app. If we learn to temper our use of messaging apps with prudence(谨慎)and pragmatism(实用主 )we could be looking forward to yet new conveniences and experience in this decade with the rapid development of 5G technology and artificial intelligence.Ultimately,the choice is ours, whether to use WeChat or any other new invention,.wisely or wantonly(不受约束地)， 32.What can we conclude from the first paragraph? A.We can easily skip a meal a day. B.We will be ill by not using WeChat. C.WeChat used to be meant for fun. D.WeChat has become inseparable in daily life. 33.The underlined word "ubiquitous"in Paragraph 3 probably has the same meaning as A.wherever B.nowhere C.somewhere D.everywhere 34.For what reason do the government agencies choose to use WeChat? A.WeChat has a mobile payment function. B.They can improve their service through WeChat. 6 C.Mini programs are convenient for the agencies D.People do not have to carry keys and cash with them. 35.What is to be remembered when we look at the downsides of WeChat?

"Daddy,may I ask you a question?" "Yeah sure,whut is it?"replicd the man "Daddy,how much do you make an hour?" "That's none of your business.Why do you ask such a thing?"the man said angrily. "l just want to know.Please tell me.How much do you make an hour?"pleaded the little boy. "If you must know,I make $20 an hour." "Oh."the little boy replied,with his head down.Looking up.he said,"Daddy,may I please borrow $10?" The father was angry."If the only reason you asked that is that you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense,then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed.Think about why you are being so selfish.I work hard every day for such childish behavior." The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions."How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?" he thought to himself.After about an hour or so,the man calmed down,and started to think:Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 and he really didn't ask for money very often.The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door."Are you asleep,son?" he asked. "No,daddy,I'm awake,"replied the boy. "I've been thinking,maybe I was too hard on you earlier,"said the man."It has been a long day and I took out my anger on you.Here's the $10 you asked for."
