21、“To explore further and to learn about the solar system we live in, we need to take advantage of what’s on the Moon, so we don’t have to take everything with us,” said Jacob Bleacher, the Chief Exploration Scientist supporting NASA’s Artemis program at NASA Headquarters in Washington. Scientists at the University of Florida have made a breakthrough discovery — decades in the making — that could both enable further space exploration and benefit humanity. “Here we are, 50 years later, completing experiments that were started back in the Apollo labs,” said Robert Ferl, a professor of this university.
Arabidopsis, native to Africa, is a relative of vegetables like broccoli (西兰花). Due to its small size and ease of growth, it is one of the most studied plants in the world. Space scientists are doing research on how it grows in space.
To grow the Arabidopsis, the scientific team used samples collected on the Apollo 11, 12, and 17 missions, with only a gram of regolith (表土) from the Moon given to each plant. The team added water and then seeds to the samples. They then put them into boxes in a clean room. A nutrient solution was added daily. Every plant looked the same up until about day six. After day six, however, it was clear that the plants were not as energetic as the control group plants growing in volcanic ash, and the plants were growing differently depending on which type of sample they were in. The plants grew more slowly and had poor roots and leaves. After 20 days, just before the plants started to flower, the team harvested the plants and studied them.
The team found the plants reacted differently depending on which sample — each collected from different areas on the Moon — was used. Plants grown in the Apollo 11 samples were not as strong as the other two sets. Nevertheless, the plants did grow.
This research opens the door to someday growing more plants rich in nutrition in habitats on the Moon. Plants are what enable us to be explorers.
【1】What can be inferred from the first paragraph?
A.It took 50 years to complete building the Apollo labs.
B.More labs will be built on the Moon in half a century.
C.Some supplies may be produced on the Moon in the future.
D.The conservation of the Moon helps explore the solar system.
【2】Why is Arabidopsis a most studied plant?
A.It is productive.
B.It is easy to plant.
C.It is rich in nutrition.
D.It is harvested conveniently.
【3】How is the third paragraph developed?
A.By giving examples.
B.By following space order.
C.By presenting procedures.
D.By analyzing research findings.
【4】Which section of a website is the text most likely from?
A.Wildlife.
B.Education.
C.Travel.
D.Research.
22、As many as 4 out of every 1,000 infants born today have permanent hearing loss.When parents learn that their child has hearing loss, they are faced with many difficult decisions.These decisions can include choosing therapies and schools, as well as finding financial help for hearing aids or cochlear implants (人工耳蜗).
Help Me Hear Foundation is a public charity that gives the gift of hearing to deaf children from families existing on very low incomes around the world.The foundation offers life-changing services for impoverished families, and provides real help for children with hearing impairment who may otherwise be left behind in schools or society due to their lack of hearing.

23、C
Imagine having an idea, drawing it on paper, bringing it to a store and seeing it turned into a physical object.This is now possible with the help of 3D printers.Such machines were once used just by universities and big companies.But now, stores with 3D printing services are appearing around the United States.
Bryan Jaycox and his wife opened The Build Shop LLC in Los Angeles two years ago.The store is filled with tools like a laser cutter, an industrial sewing machine and 3D printers.Bryan Jaycox requires $ 15 an hour to print an object.He also charges a fee depending on the size of the object and up to $ 50 an hour for design and labor services.
The Jaycoxs also offer 3D printing classes for anyone who is interested.One of the students in a recent class was Ki Chong Tran.He plans to open a 3D printing business in Cambodia."The demand has been amazing.It's been much more than I would have imagined," said Ki Chong Tran.
"I think 3D printing is going to be huge. It's going to make a huge impact on society as a whole," he added.
Mr Jaycox predicts that within five years, 3D printing technology could become
more consumer friendly.
But Ki Chong Tran says even current technology can make a difference in a developing country like Cambodia."With 3D printing you can give them tools, and you put it in their hands so they are responsible more for their own development.
They learn skills beyond just learning English and becoming a tour guide or something like that or working at a bank.You can actually create things that give value to the world," said Ki Chong Tran.

24、Jean is a bright young lady who comes from a rich and famous family. She goes to a good university and has everything that money can buy. Well, almost everything. The problem is that the people in Jean's family are so busy that they can hardly find time to be with her. So Jean spends a lot of time on her QQ. She likes being anonymous (匿名), talking to people who do not know about her famous family and her rich life.

Last year Jean made a very special friend on QQ. His name was David and lived in San Francisco. David was full of stories and jokes. He and Jean had a common interest in rock music and modern dance. So it always took them hours to talk happily on QQ and sometimes they even forgot their time. Of course, they wanted to know more about each other. David sent her a picture of himself: He was a tall, good-looking young man with a big happy smile. As time went by, they became good friends and often sent cards and small things to each other.
When Jean's father told her that he was going on a business trip to San Francisco, she asked him to let her go with him so that she could give David a surprise for his birthday.
