Many of us wonder what lies in outer space. When we look up at the night sky, we see stars, the twinkle of a moving satellite and occasionally a distant planet. But one thing we don’t see is millions of pieces of junk filling up space. It’s the debris(残骸)that is causing problems for the existing technology that’s up there and which we rely on.
The amount of space junk is increasing. Over the last few decades, satellites and rockets have been launched into space, littering the universe as they go. It’s estimated there are now millions of pieces of metal and other materials in orbit—everything from old rockets to accidentally dropped astronaut tools, and even bits of paint.
The fear is that if we don’t start taking this litter out of the sky soon, it will become a significant threat to active satellites. Nobu Okada, Chief Executive of Astroscale—a company working on ways to clean up space junk—says, “Even a small piece of paint has enough power to blow up other satellites.”
Several ideas are being looked at to collect the debris floating around in space. In 2018, the RemoveDEBRIS spacecraft carried out various experiments, including testing a net that could follow a satellite and firing a harpoon(鱼叉)at a target in orbit to try to catch it.
The UK Space Agency is helping to fund new approaches to tracking satellites and debris in space. Jacob Geer from the UK Space Agency told the BBC, “Space surveillance(监控)and tracking is one of the key things we can do to keep safe those satellites we rely on now, and to make sure certain orbits don’t become inaccessible for future generations because there’s too much debris in them.”
It’s clear that a solution is needed so a deep clean can take place. But looking to the future, like any litter problem, we need to look at ways of creating less—and that shouldn’t be the stuff of science fiction.
24.What does the first paragraph say about space junk?
A. It is something dangerous.
B. Its influence has been undervalued.
C. It was left by astronauts on purpose.
D. Its amount is becoming small recently.
25.Why did Nobu Okada mention a small piece of paint?
A. To stress the significance of active satellites.
B. To introduce the plan of cleaning the debris.
C. To explain the difficulty in cleaning space junk.
D. To describe the damage space junk could bring.
26.What does the author want to tell us in Paragraph 4?
A. The effort to remove space junk.
B. The approach of space surveillance.
C. The importance of sending up satellites.
D. The experiment of tracking spacecraft.
27.Which of the following could be the best title for the text?
A. Space junk: satellites’ threat
B. Scientists’ exploration of outer space
C. Space surveillance: a way to keep space clean
D. New proof of space junk’s harm to the universe
C
Salad plants have already been grown in old shelters and tunnels. Urban farming is a regular topic of interest at places like the World Economic Forum (WEF), where leaders consider whether the worldˈs food system, blamed for causing both obesity and malnutrition, can be fixed. There are already plenty of urban farming projects around the world, particularly in the US, Japan and the Netherlands, from urban fish and plant farms to vertical farming.
“Itˈs becoming an expanding industry,” said Richard Ballard, one of the founders of the farm Growing Underground. “Thereˈre several other businesses starting up in containers in London, and there are other vertical farms around the country now.”
Growing Underground is not a standard farm. The rows of crops could be in almost any polytunnel, but these plants are about 100 feet below Clapham High Street and show that urban agriculture is, in some cases at least, not a fad. The underground farm has occupied a part of the Second World War air-raid shelters for many years, and Ballard is planning to expand into the rest of the space later.
Growing Underground supplies herb and salad mixes to grocery shops, supermarkets and restaurants. Ballard says that being in London creates an advantage, as his team can harvest and deliver in an hour.
He adds other advantages. Being under-ground means temperatures never go below 15℃ while the aboveground greenhouses need to be heated. His team can do more harvests: about 60 crops a year, compared with about seven on a traditional farm. Electricity to power the lights is a major cost, but the company believes renewable energy will become cheaper.
Similar companies include the Jones Food Company in the UK and AeroFarms in the US.
28.What do we know about urban farming?
A. It leads to a healthier lifestyle.
B. It is rarely discussed at the WEF.
C. Different farming methods are used.
D. Local governments put effort into developing it.
29.Which of the following can best explain the underlined part “a fad” in Paragraph 3?
A. A dream thatˈs easy to realize.
B. A field controlled for a long time.
C. An approach to a serious problem.
D. A fashion thatˈs popular for a short time.
30.What can we learn about the underground farm?
A. It is more productive than a traditional farm.
B. It supplies food directly to the customers.
C. Its major products are herbs and salads.
D. It uses more energy than a greenhouse.
31.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The current food system causes health problems
B. Growing Underground attracts more people
C. Traditional farming will be replaced soon
D. Urban farming is still thought to be costly and time-consuming
D
I was at the Gathering for Science in Boston, on 22 April 2017, as were 70, 000 other scientists. We were there to stand up for facts and truth.
Where are the crowds of scientists now? Since then, harms from science denial have only increased: global suffering has grown owing to inaction on climate change, and some epidemics have risen along with vaccine skepticism.
I've been out there talking to the science deniers, and I've asked my scientist friends to come with me. "Those people just aren't worth talking to," they'll say. "I wouldn't make a difference anyway." That's wrong. Those people can and do change their minds, although it requires someone to put in the time to overcome distrust.
To be sure, many experts have launched themselves against misinformation, enduring abuse on social media and even threats to their safety. But when scientists turn down my invitations, it's not because of fear. Most often, their excuses are grounded in the "backfire effect", a questionable 2010 finding that people sometimes embrace misconceptions more strongly when faced with corrective information, implying that pushing back against falsehoods is counter-productive. Even the researchers whose results were exaggerated to popularize this idea do not embrace it anymore, and argue that the true challenge is learning how best to target corrective information.
In fact, evidence is growing that rebuttals can be effective. Science deniers all draw on the same flawed reasoning techniques: cherry-picking evidence, relying on fake experts, and engaging in illogical reasoning. A landmark 2019 study showed that critiquing the flawed techniques can contain the spread of misinformation.
So how does "technique rebuttal" work in practice?
Arnaud Gagneur and his colleagues at the University of Sherbrooke conducted more than 1,00,020-minute interviews in which they listened to new parents' concerns about vaccinations and answered their questions. Those parents' children were 9% more likely to receive all the vaccines on the schedule than were those of uninterviewed parents whose babies were delivered in the same maternity ward. One mother told him: "It's the first time that I've had a discussion like this, and I feel respected, and I trust you." It is self-evident in science communication that you cannot convince a science denier with facts alone; most science deniers don't have a lack of information, but a lack of trust.
So what should scientists do? Even non-experts can use technique rebuttal. A geologist can engage a neighbor who is vaccine hesitant. A protein biologist can coach an aunt or uncle who wants "more evidence" that climate change is real. Instead of shifting to more comfortable conversations, engage in respectful exchange. If you spend more time asking questions than offering explanations, people will be more likely to pay attention to the explanations that you do offer.
32.What can we learn from the passage?
A. The Gathering for Science addressed online abuse.
B. The silence of scientists worsens harm from science denial.
C. Ineffective vaccines speed up the spread of some epidemics.
D. The author's friends find it valuable to talk with science deniers.
33.According to the passage, the "backfire effect" ______.
A. suggests caution before correcting others
B. emphasizes the effectiveness of rebuttals
C. results from flawed reasoning techniques
D. enjoys wide support in the academic field
34.The last two paragraphs suggest that ______.
A. the interviewed parents agreed to vaccination due to the sufficiency of the information
B. geologists and protein biologists need to make sure the conversations are comfortable
C. scientists are encouraged to listen carefully and ask questions during interaction
D. scientists should teach non-experts how to conduct respectful exchanges
35.In writing this passage, the author aims to ______.
A. express concerns for misinformation
B. analyze the root cause of science denial
C. advocate employing technique rebuttal
D. present the problems scientists encounter
三、阅读七选五:本题共5小题,共12.5分。
With climate change continuing to worsen, our situation is beginning to feel increasingly serious. (36) Is it right? Maybe not.
Techno-optimism is one of the greatest misconceptions when it comes to solutions to ensure our future. It can be defined as a belief that future technologies will solve all of our current problems. This definition reinforces (强化) the idea that there's no reason to panic or change our current energy-intensive lifestyle. All society needs to do is look to green technology to work its magic. (37)
One of the best examples of this optimistic misconception is the electric car. Despite being highly regarded as an eco-friendly way to get around, electric cars are not the end for the future of transport. Batteries in electric cars use chemical elements which we could be seeing a shortage of by the midcentury. (38) Techno-optimism has led many to believe that if everyone just switched to driving electric vehicles, we would be making incredible steps towards sustainability. However, the reality is that the amount of resources and energy needed to produce enough electric vehicles for everyone is not even remotely sustainable.
(39) Investing in public transportation and moving away from individually owned vehicles. Producing fewer cars. Improving recycling practices of old batteries. The solutions we seek should not be rooted in new technology, but be about changing the way our society functions.
Techno-optimism puts too much emphasis on technology and not enough on what we can do right this minute. Unfortunately, people seem to like the picture that techno-optimism paints. (40) It is important to understand that the problem begins when we see those technologies as a way to make our current lifestyles eco-friendly. Until we are ready to face the need for a less complex life, we cannot make true progress towards sustainability.
A. So where should we look for answers instead?
B. The modern world's simple solution is technology.
C. Moreover, they are more energy intensive to produce.
D. Is it a trap that many people have fallen into in recent years?
E. Unfortunately, this is an incredibly dangerous opinion to hold.
F. Despite any technology, we as a whole are not living sustainably.
G. Nevertheless, the truth is, we need a widespread change in our lifestyles.

Nearly everyone has received texts from wrong numbers. But how many times do those texts (41) change people’s lives? Probably never. We usually choose to (42) them, but Tony Wood didn’t. He received an (43) message from a woman called Syd (44) an opinion on her formal dress.
Wood had never met Syd, but he (45) the message to his children, who all thought Syd looked great in her dress.
He took a picture of his children giving two (46) up and sent their opinions to Syd, but never (47) back from her.
Several weeks later, Wood saw the text he sent to Syd with the picture of his children (48) on social media! Wood introduced himself to Syd and told her his son Kaizler wasn’t in the picture because he was being (49) for leukemia(白血病).
This (50) was enough for people to help the Wood family. It started when a stranger joined the “Prayers for Kaizler” group and (51) a page on a crowdfunding platform to help the family (52) Kaizler’s medical costs.
Donations started coming in from total (53) and soon the Woods’ had $50,000. One wrong number text really (54) this boy’s life, and one honest (55) is all it took for people to help the family in need.

67.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My story began in one autumn morning, as I was on the way to school. It was the first time I had caught sight of a fox. Fascinated to the point where I forgot all fear, I dared to go up to it. I had never come so close to a wild animal. There was nobody else around, only me and the fox.
“Hey, fox!” I tried to greet it, though my voice was so weak that it felt like I was saying hello to myself. It didnˈt hear me. It stayed there and I watched it. My heart was beating fast. It was so cute. For a moment, I thought I might be able to touch it.
Throughout the day at school, I could only think of the fox at the big tree. On my return to the place where we met, I was sure Iˈd find it there.
And I did! This time I gathered a little bit more courage and called out to it, “Fox!” Of course it escaped. But that only made me long to meet it again. I decided that if I could find its cave and catch it, I would try to tame(驯服)it, making it my friend.
Thus, I spent most of my free time in the forests trying to find the fox during the following months. But I never saw it again before winter came. During the winter, I followed its footprints far across the fields. Suddenly I was alarmed by the calling of wolves near me. I ran away in fear, fell down and hurt my ankle(脚踝). I recovered very slowly, so that I had to stay at home during the winter, reading a book about foxes.
When spring arrived, I was free again. I looked for fox caves and waited for my fox. To my amazement, it was pregnant(怀孕的), but it kept moving because of my observation; therefore I decided to watch the fox from a longer distance.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式作答。
One day, as I sat quietly by a tree, the fox carefully came near.

66.Cycling to a greener future
Last Sunday, our school organized a cycling activity along the urban greenway with the theme—Cycling to a greener future—to celebrate World Cycling Day.
The aim of this activity was to promote a low-carbon lifestyle and raise students’ awareness of environmental protection. A large number of students actively participated. They cycled in groups, enjoying the beautiful natural scenery along the way and breathing the fresh air. During the ride, they also stopped from time to time to pick up garbage and put up posters to call on people to protect the environment.
This activity was widely praised by all the participants. It not only enhanced students’ physical fitness and teamwork spirit but also made them more determined to contribute to building a greener future.
67.One day, as I sat quietly by a tree, the fox carefully came near. I held my breath, not wanting to frighten the little creature. As it came closer, I was excited to see the trust in its eyes. Gradually, I was able to bring it food and even pet its fur and occasionally, we would sit together on the green grass, like two old friends. Confident in our increasingly enhanced bond, I finally took it home, thinking that I could better attend to it and that we would always keep each other company.
But to my surprise, the day after I brought it home, it escaped. It jumped out of an open window and in no time disappeared into the woods. As I watched it slip away through the underbrush, with nimbleness and grace that was a joy to behold, I suddenly realized that perhaps the wild called to it more strongly than I ever could. Looking back on the book about foxes now, I know my so-called “love” is not love, but possession. Wild creatures are supposed to be wandering in their own home—nature.
