1.??? Many people wrongly think that cities don't have farms and that fruits and vegetables are only grown in the country. Believe it or not, there are more and more urban farms popping up in cities all over the world.
??? Alexandra Sullivan, a food system researcher in New York City, studies urban agriculture. Urban agriculture is another name for farming and gardening in a city environment. Ms. Sullivan studies everything from tiny gardens in empty lots between buildings to bigger fields that have been planted and grown. According to Ms. Sullivan, "Urban agriculture has existed since cities have, across the world."
??? The number of humans living in urban areas or cities, is increasing. The amount of people who want to garden in urban areas is also rising. Ms. Sullivan says, "In small gardens, on rooftops and indoors, they grow fruits, vegetables, grains, and herbs, and raise animals to produce milk, eggs, honey, and meat. They use these foods as supplements to food produced by rural agriculture." Even though some people who live in urban areas grow crops, urban residents still need to rely on food grown in rural areas. This is because a city doesn't have enough space to grow enough food for everyone living in it.
??? In New York City, urban farmers have come up with many different ways to grow their own produce, even though there isn't a lot of room. For example, Brooklyn Grange is a farming operation that has two rooftop vegetable farms in New York City. All together, the farms are made up of 2.5 acres of rooftop space. This makes Brooklyn Grange one of the largest rooftop farming operations in the world.
??? Brooklyn Grange grows all kinds of things. The farming company sells its vegetables to local residents and restaurants. And because the farms are on rooftops, they are specially adapted to their urban location. They use available space that is not needed for anything else. As more urban farmers find ways to grow food in cities, urban residents will be better able to get fresher materials for their meals.
1.Which of the following is Ms. Sullivan's opinion according to the text?
A.Urban agriculture can provide huge income.
B.Urban agriculture has a history as long as cities.
C.The number of people living in cities is increasing slowly.
D.Urban residents still rely on food grown in rural areas completely.
2.What does the underlined word "they" in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Farmers. B.City residents.
C.Rural residents. D.Companies.
3.What can we learn about Brooklyn Grange in New York City from the text?
A.It has large farming areas. B.It can only grow a single product.
C.It produces enough food for citizens. D.It makes use of rooftop space to grow vegetables.
4.What may be the best title for the text?
A.Farms in Cities B.Future Food System
C.Food Grown in Cities D.Agriculture of New York City
2.??? A new color changing ink could aid in health and environment monitoring—for example, allowing clothing to switch colors when exposed to sweat or a woolen blanket to shift colors if a dangerous gas enters the room. The ink could be printed on anything from a T-shirt to a tent.
??? Wearable sensing devices like smart watches use electronics just to monitor the heart rate, blood sugar and more. Now, researchers at Tufts University's Silklab say the new silk-based ink can respond to and quantify the presence of chemicals on or around the body. "Silk has the ability to add necessary sensing and color changing chemical substances to the ink without losing their functions," says Fiorenzo Omenetto, a biomedical engineer at Silklab.
??? The researchers improved on an earlier repetition that worked with inkjet printers, thickening the ink with a chemical to make it capable for screen printing, and then added various reactive substances. With the new ink, they can now easily print a large number of reactive elements onto large surfaces.
??? The team made the ink by breaking down raw silk fibers into proteins which the researchers suspended in water. Next, they mixed in various reactive molecules(分子) and analyzed how the resulting products changed hues when exposed to changes in their environment. When the ink is printed on fabric, pH indicators could convey information about skin health and a wearer's tiredness levels. The changes are visible to eyes, but the researchers also used a camera-imaging analysis to continuously monitor the color variations and create a database of values.
??? Omenetto says that the ink could be adapted to track environmental changes in a room, or to respond to bacteria and follow disease progression.
??? Mechanical engineer Tyler Ray of the University of Hawaii notes that most of today's wearable monitors are rigid, fairly large and heavy. "The new ink technology has the potential to transform consumer wearable monitors from entertainment devices into body worn, clinical grade physiological measurement tools, providing useful information and making it easier for physicians to operate," he says.
1.What can the new ink be used for?
A.Making pictures. B.Printing documents.
C.Breaking down fibers and proteins. D.Detecting health and environment changes.
2.What does Fiorenzo Omenetto mention in Paragraph 2?
A.The chemical substances in silk. B.The practical functions of smart watches.
C.The role of silk in the new ink technology. D.The influence of the new ink on the human body.
3.What does the underlined word "hues" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Levels. B.Colors. C.Wearers. D.Analyses.
4.How does Tyler Ray expect of the wearable monitors using the new ink?
A.Practical. B.Soft.
C.Large and heavy. D.Small but inconvenient.
3.??? I've been spending time this week smelling the roses. I bend over in my neighbors' front yard, checking that nobody is watching, then bury my head in the flowers.
??? I've also been walking into bakeries and walking around without buying anything.
??? After having surgery on my broken nose 18 months ago, I haven't been able to smell or taste things. This week, however, my nose is back in business.
??? I've been fascinated by smells, and it's given me a new way of thinking. Smell is just one of the little bits and pieces that make life enjoyable, which we often ignore. I remember once, when my son was 5 months old, I was carrying him down the street. Wind swept through and almost tipped us over. He threw his little head back and giggled. He'd never felt the wind on his face. When is the last time I laughed at the weather?
??? The first time I ate bacon, I rushed home to my parents, determined that we ate this deliciousness at every meal. My father smiled and agreed.
??? Do you recall when you learned that the voice actors of Mickey and Minnie Mouse were married in real life? Do you enjoy sleeping in new, clean bed sheets?
??? We don't write postcards about the small things. We don't frame them in photographs.
??? They aren't that great or grand, but without them, life is altogether too loud. These quiet experiences give us a chance to enjoy the simple fact of being alive.
??? As my sense of smell returns to me, it's like I'm smelling things for the first time. They're full of memories and magic. Food tastes better, and the air is indeed sweet. I know what the poets mean now. It almost makes my broken nose worthwhile.?Now, I am waiting for this bandage to come off. There's an itch I can't reach!

A.Depressed. B.Pleased. C.Disturbed. D.Annoyed.
4.??? NASA aims to send a man and a woman to the moon by 2024. This is the goal of its Artemis program. But for Artemis to succeed, the U.S. space agency first needs to solve a big problem: the damaging threat of moon dust.
??? Over billions of years, celestial bodies, such as asteroids and meteors, have slammed into the moon. These hits have crushed some lunar rocks into dust. The surf radiation gives the dust an electric charge that makes it stick to everything. Those powdery bits are like "broken pieces of glass", notes Mihaly Horanyi, a physicist at the University of Colorado Boulder. The dust is so rough, in fact, that it can damage equipment. If taken in, it might even harm an astronaut's health. Horanyi is part of a team that has now figured out how to overcome one troubling aspect of the dust: its static cling, using a low-powered electron beam(電子束). When shined onto the dust, that beam sends the dust flying.
??? During the 1970s, the astronauts in NASA's Apollo missions relied on a very low-tech system to clean lunar dust off their spacesuits. They swept it away with what looked like the brushes used to paint a house. But the electrically charged nature of space dust tended to fail such hand sweepers.
??? The new electron-beam broom takes advantage of the dust's electrical characteristic. As the beam hits the dust, it releases electrons into the tiny spaces between particles. Some of these negatively charged electrons will be absorbed by the surrounding dust.
??? One problem with the electron beam, at least for now, is that it leaves up to one-fourth of the dust behind. The Boulder group aims to strengthen that cleaning power. Horanyi says the electron beam is just one of several ways future space explorers could keep surfaces clean. Others might include changes to a spacesuit's design.
1.Why should the moon dust problem be solved?
A.It might cause serious crashes. B.It can give off harmful radiation.
C.It can stick to the surface of the spaceship. D.It might affect astronauts' health and equipment.
2.What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A.The discovery of the electron beam. B.The way the electron beam works.
C.The occurrence of the electron beam. D.The development of the electron beam.
3.What can we learn about the new electron-beam broom?
A.It is a low-tech dust cleaning system. B.It leaves three-fourths of the dust uncleaned.
C.It needs improvement in the cleaning power. D.It is proved less efficient than other methods.
4.What will the author most probably talk about next?
A.Astronauts' health. B.New spacesuit's design.
C.Spaceship surface features. D.Future space exploration.
5.??? Friday was "Chatty Bus day", an experiment aimed at getting people to talk to each other on public transport. This is not an idea that would appeal to those who commute in the rush hour, because there is a smaller distance within which it's just as uncomfortable to talk. It is no coincidence that the first truly personal music player, the Sony Walkman, was invented in Japan where the commuter trains are literally crowded with people.
??? We will also not talk to strangers who are physically too far away, of course. No one wants to shout their small talk. Only on country buses or similar unhurried and uncrowded forms of public transport can people reach out to their neighbors, confident that they are doing so from a position of strength and autonomy.
??? For all these drawbacks, the idea of talking to strangers is still a good one, and the promotion of sociability is good for society. Although it does seem to be a general rule that people are friendlier the fewer there are of them and more hostile and indifferent as cities get more crowded, there are still considerable cultural variations.
??? It is true that the apparent loneliness of many people on public transport is a false impression. Many will be caught up with conversations with distant friends on their phones; some will be talking to the people in books. Some may be in willed solitude with their headphones. But there are always people who would be interested in an unexpected conversation with a stranger. This need not go on for too long.
??? It is not large and possibly life-changing conversations that are what most people in loneliness miss most. What they really need is not deep thought but superficiality. The kind of conversation that you could have with anyone reminds you that you yourself might be anyone. It is a release from the prison of the self, which is where lonely people serve their sentences, uncertain whether they ever can be paroled. Friendship may be too rare a gift to hope for, but sometimes the kindest thing to say is also the simplest: "Don't be a stranger"—and sometimes that's also enough.
1.According to Paragraph 1, what is the reason for the first Walkman's appearance in Japan?
A.Its corporate culture. B.Its people's creativity.
C.Its overcrowded public transport. D.Its people's desire for personal space.
2.Which of the following belongs to "these drawbacks" underlined in Paragraph 3?
A."Chatty Bus day" has not been introduced to other areas.
B.Walkman prevents passengers from talking to each other.
C.Passengers are unwilling to make small talk with strangers.
D.Improper physical distance discourages casual communication.
3.What is the author most likely to agree with?
A.Small talk with strangers will help ease loneliness on the road.
B.Lonely people are in desperate need of deep conversation.
C.People in less populated cities tend to be cold and distant.
D.It's inadvisable to talk to strangers who are physically too close.
4.What is the author's main purpose in writing the text?
A.To cast new light on human loneliness.
B.To introduce an experiment and its effects.
C.To advocate striking up conversations with strangers.
D.To explore the relationship between physical distance and willingness to reach out.
6.??? On a bright early summer morning, many young swimmers gather at a local swimming pool in the state of Maryland. They are members of a competitive summer swim team, and that's a regular part of their daily life. As they train and cut seconds off their times, which makes them closer to the championship in the following large-scale competitions, they are getting lots of physical exercise and vitamin D from the sun. However, the benefits of belonging to a sports team are not just honor or health related. You can learn useful life skills.
??? Paul Waas, coach of the swim team, explains, "The discipline comes into play when you're talking about concentrating on the details that your coaches are saying as it makes you faster rather than going up and down the pool the same way you have every time. When you focus on what you're doing right and what you can do better, then you'll see the improvement."
??? Besides, there is also responsibility, goals and workings within a group. Again, here is Coach Waas. "It's really great! It's so fun to watch from year to year. I've had kids who as 7-year-olds on the team could barely pay attention in practice and were only interested in who was going first. Now they've come back as 8-year-olds, having set some goals and having things that they want to achieve. These skills can help them a lot."
??? But playing the sports is not without harm. Some can be hard on the body. Young athletes suffer serious injuries that follow them into adulthood. Coach Waas says that in fact, swimming is different from most others. First, it poses a lower risk of injury. The second one relates to how swim teams are structured. Actually, children are not the only ones who can benefit. Adults can also benefit from team sports.
1.Why do the swimmers gather at a swimming pool in the early morning?
A.To obtain vitamin D from the sun. B.To build practical skills for the future.
C.To join in a large-scale competition. D.To carry out their routine practice.
2.What do Paul Waas' words imply in Paragraph 2?
A.Swimmers should concentrate on details.
B.Members get disciplined and focused in the team.
C.Coaches play a key role in players' improvement.
D.Most swimmers enjoy swimming in the same way.
3.What happens to the kids after a year's training?
A.They are more aware of what to do. B.They pay less attention to training.
C.They devote more time to practice. D.They care more about who goes first.
4.What does the author want to convey in the text?
A.Exercise benefits everyone. B.Swimming is better than other sports.
C.Team sports teach life lessons. D.Physical exercise should be a habit.
7.??? I know what courage looks like. I saw it on a flight I took six years ago, and only now can I speak of it without tears filling eyes at the memory.
??? Our flight left the Orlando Airport one Friday morning. But immediately upon take-off, it was clear that something was wrong. The aircraft was bumping up and down. All the experienced travelers, including me, looked around with knowing smiles. If you fly much, you see these things and learn to act calmly about them. However, we did not remain calm for long.
??? Minutes after we were in the air, our plane began falling quickly. The pilot soon made a serious announcement. "We are having some difficulties," he said. "Our indicators show that the control system has failed. We will be returning to the Orlando Airport. The flight attendants will prepare you for a bumpy landing. Also, if you look out of the windows, you will see that we are dumping fuel from the airplane. We want to have as little on board as possible in the event of a rough touchdown." In other words, we were about to crash. Many travelers looked visibly frightened now. No one faces death without fear, I thought.
??? Then a couple of rows to my left, I heard a still calm voice, a woman's voice, speaking in an absolutely normal conversational tone. I had to find the source of this voice. All around, people cried. Many screamed. Finally, I saw her. In this chaos, a mother was talking to her child. The woman, in her mid-30s, was staring full into the face of her daughter, who looked to be four years old. The child listened closely, sensing the importance of her mother's words. The mother's gaze held the child so fixed that she seemed untouched by the sounds of grief and fear around her.
??? Finally, I leaned over and by some miracle could hear this soft sure voice with the tone of comfort. Over and over again, the mother said, "I love you so much. Remember, no matter what happens, I love you always." Fortunately, our landing gear held at last and our touchdown was not a tragedy.
??? However, the voice I heard that day never faded. That mom showed me what a real hero looks like.
1.What does the author imply by saying some travelers' "knowing smiles" in Paragraph 2?
A.They were used to this kind of experience. B.They were quite familiar with each other.
C.They were well-educated passengers. D.They were pretending to be calm.
2.What happened shortly after take-off?
A.The plane met bad weather and had to return immediately.
B.The flight indicators showed the plane's control system failed.
C.One of the passengers was badly ill and the plane had to turn back.
D.A flight attendant explained flight safety instructions to the passengers.
3.Hearing the pilot's announcement, how did most travelers respond?
A.They asked for help. B.They remained calm.
C.They cried and screamed. D.They rejected the bumpy landing.
4.What is the best title for the passage?
A.The Shape of Love B.The Voice of Courage
C.The Wisdom of a Pilot D.The Danger of a Journey
8.??? When talking about the economics of online publishing, the first thing to remember is that job No.1 isn't to get the news to you. Rather, it is to monetize you, by selling you off, in real time, to the highest bidder. This happens every time you click on a link, before the page has even started to load on your phone. Once upon a time, if you and I both visited the same web page at the same time using the same web browser, we would end up seeing the same thing. Today, however, an almost unthinkably enormous ecosystem of scripts and cookies and often astonishingly personal information is used to show you a set of brand messages and sales links which are tailored almost uniquely to you.
??? That ecosystem raises important questions about privacy—the way that the minute you look at a pair of shoes online, for instance, they then start following you around every other website you visit for weeks. But whether or not you value your privacy, you are damaged, daily, by the sheer weight of all that technology.
??? Online ads have never got less annoying over time, and you can be sure that mobile ads are going to get more annoying as well, once Silicon Valley has worked out how to better identify who you are. The move to greater privacy protections might help slow the pace with which such technologies are adopted. But there's no realistic hope that websites will actually improve from here. If you want to avoid the dreadful experience of the mobile web, you'll only have one choice—which is to start reading your articles negatively, in a certain relevant applications. But it won't be these apps that killed the news brands. It'll be ad tech.
1.What will happen if two people click on the same link today?
A.They will immediately get the news that they want.
B.They will see the same thing whenever they browse.
C.They will see different brand messages and sales links.
D.They will be recommended to the same bidder.
2.Why can the online ads send you the links unique to you?
A.The ecosystem knows who you are. B.They know how to identify who you are.
C.You don't care about your privacy. D.You always use the same web browser.
3.How could we protect our privacy against mobile ads?
A.By slowing the pace with such technologies. B.By improving the website functions.
C.By stopping using the mobile phones. D.By reading articles in specific apps.
4.What's the author's attitude to the ad tech?
A.Negative. B.Positive. C.Unconcerned. D.Optimistic.
9.??? How often do you have a conversation with someone, and think you are paying attention to him or her, only to realize shortly afterwards that you can't remember what he said? Or, perhaps you get distracted while he is speaking and miss the message that he is trying to deliver. In today's busy world, modern life is full of distractions: TVs, radios, traffic noises, telephones, laptops and so on, which can make it difficult to listen with our full attention.
??? But how can we listen more effectively? Jon Kabat-Zinn, professor at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, put forward the idea of mindful listening. He said mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way, with a purpose, at the present moment and non-judgmentally.
??? When we listen mindfully, we can be aware of some barriers but still remain open to the speaker's ideas and messages. Mindfulness encourages us to be aware of the present moment, let go of distractions and ignore physical and emotional reactions to what people say to us.
??? But how can we apply mindful listening to our life? Jon Kabat-Zinn describes three key elements of mindful listening that we can use to improve our listening skills.
??? First of all, be present. When we listen mindfully, our focus should be on the person we are listening to without distractions. Then develop empathy. We often see the world through our own experiences. When we're empathetic, we can understand a situation from someone else's point of view. At last, listen to our own "cues". Our cues are the thoughts, feelings and physical reactions that we have when we feel anxious or angry, and they can block out ideas and perspectives that we're uncomfortable with. Mindful listening can help us to be more aware of our cues, and allow us to choose not to let them block communication.
??? The rule is straightforward: simply "Listen"! Listen carefully and attentively. Pay full attention to the other person, and don't let other thoughts, like what we are going to say next, distract us.
1.What's the function of the first paragraph?
A.To introduce the topic. B.To make a conclusion.
C.To criticize the distractions. D.To describe daily situations.
2.What is one of the advantages of mindful listening?
A.Making a judgment correctly. B.Sharing messages with the speaker.
C.Stopping people's running thoughts. D.Making sure of feeling understood.
3.What does the underlined word "empathy" in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A.The feeling of trusting others. B.The ability to understand others.
C.The attitude of caring about others. D.The behavior of listening to others.
4.What can be the best title for the passage?
A.Applications of Mindful Listening B.Key Elements of Mindful Listening
C.A Research on Mindful Listening D.An Introduction of Mindful Listening
10.??? Anyone who commutes(通勤) by car knows that traffic jams are an unavoidable part of life. But humans are not alone in facing potential backups.
??? Ants also commute—between their nest and sources of food. The survival of their colonies depends on doing this efficiently.
??? When humans commute, there's a point at which cars become dense(稠密的) enough to slow down the flow of traffic, causing jams. Motsch, a mathematician in Arizona State University, and his colleagues wanted to know if ants on the move could also get stuck. So they regulated traffic density by constructing bridges of various widths between a colony of Argentine ants and a source of food. Then they waited and watched. "The goal was to try to find out at what point they are going to have a traffic jam," said Sebastien Motsch.
??? But it appears that that never happened. They always managed to avoid a traffic jam. The flow of ants did increase at the beginning as ants started to fill the bridge and then leveled off at high densities. But it never slowed down or stopped, even when the bridge was nearly filled with ants.
??? The researchers then took a closer look at how the behavior of individual ants impacted traffic as a whole. And they found that when ants sense overcrowding, they adjust their speeds and avoid entering high-density areas, which prevents jams. Those behavior may be promoted by pheromones, chemicals that tell other ants where a trail is. The ants also manage to avoid colliding(碰撞) with each other at high densities, which could really slow them down. The study is in the journal eLife.
??? Can ants help us solve our own traffic problems? Not likely, says Motsch. That's because when it comes to getting from point A to point B as fast as possible, human drivers put their own goals first. Individual ants have to be more cooperative in order to feed the colony. But the research could be useful in improving traffic flow for self-driving cars, which can be designed to be less like selfish humans—and more like ants.
1.What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Surviving. B.Commuting. C.Finding food. D.Avoiding jams.
2.How did the researchers control the traffic density of the commuting ants?
A.By finding out the dense points. B.Through closer observation.
C.By controlling the widths of their path. D.By regulating their numbers.
3.According to the research, why can ants avoid traffic jams?
A.They follow a special route.
B.They level off at high densities.
C.They never stop or slow down on the way.
D.They depend on their natural chemicals to adjust their speeds.
4.What is the best title of the passage?
A.Traffic Jams B.Unavoidable? Not for Ants!
C.Survival of an Ant Colony D.Difference Between Humans and Ants
