B
Most of us with access to various food sources in life don't need to worry about meal supplies. But for astronauts, it’s particularly challenging to produce, transport and prepare healthy food.
“We have staff that need to perform tasks and stay healthy in extremely high-stress environments,” says Grace Douglas, lead scientist for NASA’s Advanced Food Technology Research Group. A nutritious(有营养的) food system for space travel, she says, can have positive effects on an astronaut’s performance and general health.
Above all, space food must provide enough energy for astronauts. After decades of nutritional studies and food technology advancements, scientists prefer to find a way to get as many nutrients(营养物) from fruit and vegetables as possible for astronauts. Food made from a variety of natural sources can provide a variety of nutrition, but it can be difficult to rely heavily on fruit and vegetables as a space food source because, while they can be packed with nutrients, they have a limited number of calories(卡路里).
In addition to nutrition and taste, space food scientists must ensure their products can be kept for months, sometimes years.And for longer missions, food may have to last for up to around five years. It’s a long time to keep freeze-dried fruit salad and hamburgers tasting fresh.Therefore, as space organizations look ahead to missions in the future, it will be key to develop a sustainable food source that doesn't require resupply missions.
To achieve this, scientists are studying the best ways to grow crops in space. On the International Space Station, astronauts have successfully grown a variety of leafy greens. As researchers continue to develop effective space agriculture technologies, the fresh produce could serve as both a sustainable food source and a highly nutritious addition to their packaged food.
4. What does the author want to tell us with Grace Douglas’ words?
A. Advanced food technologies.
B. Ways of staying healthy in space.
C. Astronauts' stressful working environment.
D. The importance of space food to astronauts.
5. What disadvantage do fruit and vegetables have as space food?
A. They contain few calories. B. They have little nutrition.
C. They are difficult to keep. D. They are too heavy to carry.
6.Which word best explains the underlined word “sustainable” in paragraph 4?
A. Large. B. Lasting. C. Unique. D. Advanced.
7. What do scientists expect of the space food in the future?
A. It can be grown in space. B. It can be highly nutritious.
C. It should taste fresh and natural. D. It should be of different varieties.
[答案] 4—7 DABA
C
When it comes to fondant(翻糖) modeling, there are few food artists in the world who can compare to Zhou Yi, China's famous Sugar King. His amazing sculptures(雕刻品) are so incredibly detailed and definitely delicious.
In 2017, Sugar King amazed everyone at the International Cake Competition, where he and his team managed to win three gold medals and one bronze. He was the first Chinese artist to get a gold medal. One of the incredible cakes featured an amazing fondant sculpture of Empress Wu Zetian, the only female ruler in China's history.It was so detailed that judges could actually count her eyelashes(睫毛).
Zhou Yi managed to find his way in life pretty quickly after graduating from high school. He started studying dough(面团) modeling under Master Wang Long, and discovered that he was really good at it. It proved to be a lucrative skill, but despite making enough money from it, he eventually got bored with it.
About a decade ago, the young Sugar King arrived in Suzhou and discovered that fondant was much more suitable for modeling into demanding sculptures. However, it took a lot of trial and error to get the material just right. He would work late into the night, fall asleep on the floor, get up and start working again.But it all brought success in the end.
The major breakthrough came when Zhou managed to shape the fondant into a sheet as thin as paper, which he could use to create his models’ clothes, hair and details. He opened his own shop, and started posting his work online.Soon Sugar King became famous in China. He is now considered one of the most talented artists in China as well as in the world.
8. What made Zhou Yi amaze everyone at the competition?
A. He won gold medals B. His sculptures tasted great.
C. His great popularity conquered them. D. His unique experience touched them.
9. What does the underlined word “lucrative” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Useful. B. Profitable. C. Practical. D. Challenging.
10. Which of the following words best describe Zhou Yi?
A. Wise and responsible. B. Generous and talented.
C. Energetic and caring. D. Determined and hard-working.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. The road to success of Sugar King. B. The unforgettable fondant sculptures.
C. The breakthrough in fondant modeling. D. The worldwide popularity of Sugar King.

D
What a Scientist Is Like
If you were asked to imagine a scientist, what image would come to your mind? The common idea that most kids from kindergarten through college have of a scientist is a man wearing a white lab coat with messy hair, big glasses, and several glass cups of mysterious colourful liquids giving off clouds of smoke. As for adults, the majority view scientists as strange people who spend 100 hours a week slaving away in a lonely laboratory. However, the reality is quite different.
Recently I’ve had a chance to take part in a scientific experience far from my laboratory and into Costa Rica. It supports a huge amount of wildlife due to its geographical placement between North and South America. It is home to more than 500,000 species, which are at present nearly 4% of the total species worldwide!
First we worked alongside conservationists(自然环境保护主义者) to preserve wildlife at a leatherback turtle rescue centre. We helped the volunteers preserve turtle populations by removing rubbish from the shoreline to create a safe environment for turtle eggs to come out. After that we stayed at Mount Arenal where we studied seismic activity relating to earthquakes. During our stay at Arenal, we rode over the mountainous areas and took a long walk through the rainforest. After reaching the top, we went down and through waterfalls to the beautiful valley below! On the last day we got a hands-on(动手的,实际操作的) introduction to rocket science where we learnt about new rocket technology that will be used on the International Space Station.
During my Costa Rica experience, I know that being a scientist doesn’t mean working in a lab all day and night. A scientist is one who loves learning and getting a better understanding of the world from helping preserve wildlife, learning about earthquakes or inventing rockets. I think that schools should really stress that science is so much more than wearing a lab coat and mixing chemicals. Kids need to be aware of the excitement and adventures science can bring!
12. According to the first paragraph, what can we know about scientists?
A. They work as slaves. B. They behave in a strange way.
C. They spend too much time in labs. D. They do experiments in messy labs.
13. How did the author help to preserve the turtle populations?
A. By creating a safe nest for turtles. B. By picking up rubbish from the shoreline.
C. By collecting the turtle eggs on the beach. D. By finding a comfortable environment for turtles.
14. What does the author learn about science from his experience?
A. Science is full of boring experiments. B. Science is more than working in a lab.
C. Science is related to mysterious liquids. D. Science is about wildlife and earthquakes.
15. What is the purpose of this passage?
A. To encourage kids to study science.
B. To tell the story of travelling in Costa Rica.
C. To expect more people to travel in Costa Rica.
D. To share the secrets behind science phenomena.

Our class had a heated debate on chemical agriculture and organic agriculture last week.
It is obvious that using chemical fertilizers has many disadvantages.For instance, the chemicals staying inside the crops can lead to cancer or other illnesses.Besides, the vegetables grow so fast that they contain little nutritious.
The reasons why organic foods are becoming increasingly popular are as follows.The first one is that people attach great importance to health. Secondly, natural fertilizers make vegetables and fruit tasty and nutritious.Moreover, the produce grows in clean water and never uses pesticides.
In my opinion, health is wealth and it is wise to choose organic food.

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。
I couldn’t even sort through the first box of our dog Bama’s toys without bursting into tears. My husband, Alan, found me sitting on the floor, holding our dog’s favorite toy. He gently pulled me to my feet. “It’s okay, Lisa,” he said. “I’ll put these away. Why don’t you go outside and get some air?” I nodded.
It was a few months since our beloved Bama had passed away. Alan and I didn’t have children. Our boxer(拳师犬) was our baby.After Bama’s death, we couldn’t bring ourselves to go through his toys to decide what to keep. I told myself I'd do it when I was ready. Apparently, I still wasn't.
Now I sat on my front porch(门廊) and sobbed. Friends and family had suggested we get another dog, but Alan and I dismissed the idea. We couldn’t go through that kind of heartbreak again.
I gazed out over the yard. Across the street was a dog. A boxer. Was he real or just my imagination? I blinked.The boxer was still there. We locked eyes. He came across the street, straight toward me. Hesitantly, I offered my hand. He sniffed it eagerly then he licked(舔) me. I let out a surprised laugh. He pushed his head into my lap to be petted.
This dog was younger than Bama, smaller.He was well-fed and well-dressed. He wore a collar but had no ID. I knew he must belong to someone in the neighborhood, but I’d never seen another boxer around. I would have remembered if I had.
“Where did you come from?” I asked the dog, scratching him behind the ears. He just sat there at ease. He didn’t seem lost. Just as if he were dropping by for a visit.
“Alan!” I called.“You have to come to see this!”
Alan joined me, and we sat together in surprise for a moment. Then the boxer got up and slowly ran off.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式相应位置作答。
The next day, there was a strange scratching at the door. _______________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A week later, a young man I'd never seen before came in to visit. ________________________

[参考范文]
The next day, there was a strange scratching at the door. I opened it and found my unexpected guest—the mysterious boxer, who seemed to still remember me. He came over lightly and licked my hand, as if trying to erase my painful memories.Seeing him follow me from room to room, I gradually felt the ache in my heart lessen. I suddenly realized that I could pass Bama’s favorite toys to my guest. So each day I would stand at the front door, waiting for the happy moment.
A week later, a young man I'd never seen before came in to visit. The man said his family had just moved to the neighborhood. He asked me if I happened to see a dog, a boxer recently. I said “Yes” and told him actually “my guest” had been paying me regular visits. He apologized for the trouble his dog caused for me. I told him there was no need to apologize and actually he was a big help in working through my grief. It has been three years since that day. Now Bama's toys don't just sit in the room, gathering dust.

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。
I couldn’t even sort through the first box of our dog Bama’s toys without bursting into tears. My husband, Alan, found me sitting on the floor, holding our dog’s favorite toy. He gently pulled me to my feet. “It’s okay, Lisa,” he said. “I’ll put these away. Why don’t you go outside and get some air?” I nodded.
It was a few months since our beloved Bama had passed away. Alan and I didn’t have children. Our boxer(拳师犬) was our baby.After Bama’s death, we couldn’t bring ourselves to go through his toys to decide what to keep. I told myself I'd do it when I was ready. Apparently, I still wasn't.
Now I sat on my front porch(门廊) and sobbed. Friends and family had suggested we get another dog, but Alan and I dismissed the idea. We couldn’t go through that kind of heartbreak again.
I gazed out over the yard. Across the street was a dog. A boxer. Was he real or just my imagination? I blinked.The boxer was still there. We locked eyes. He came across the street, straight toward me. Hesitantly, I offered my hand. He sniffed it eagerly then he licked(舔) me. I let out a surprised laugh. He pushed his head into my lap to be petted.
This dog was younger than Bama, smaller.He was well-fed and well-dressed. He wore a collar but had no ID. I knew he must belong to someone in the neighborhood, but I’d never seen another boxer around. I would have remembered if I had.
“Where did you come from?” I asked the dog, scratching him behind the ears. He just sat there at ease. He didn’t seem lost. Just as if he were dropping by for a visit.
“Alan!” I called.“You have to come to see this!”
Alan joined me, and we sat together in surprise for a moment. Then the boxer got up and slowly ran off.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式相应位置作答。
The next day, there was a strange scratching at the door. _______________________________
