21、Cancer is a terrible disease. Every year in the UK, more than 330,000 people get cancer, and doctors usually use a kind of therapy called radiotherapy to treat people. This treatment uses high energy X-rays to destroy the disease, but the effects of treatment can be nearly as bad as the cancer. As the X-rays destroy the cancer cells, they also damage healthy cells that are next to them. It’s like using a shotgun to kill an insect. When really important parts of a person’s body are hurt by the X-ray energy, it can have very bad results. It can also make more cancer grow in the damaged places in the future.

A new therapy that uses protons(质子) instead of X-ray energy could be the answer to the problem. In a project called PRaVDA, scientists from the UK and South Africa are working to this. If X-ray energy is like a shotgun, then protons can work more like a laser. Scientists can make protons travel through someone’s body without hurting them, and only damage the cancer.

The PRaVDA scientists use computers to make a 3-D model of the cancer cells to make sure the protons go to the right places. “It’s more accurate,” said Michaela Esposito, PhD, from the University of Lincoln.

Building this technology was very difficult, though. Professor Nigel Allinson from the University of Lincoln, the project leader, has put together a team of many different kinds of scientists with different skills. Those skills were all needed to make what he calls “one of the most complex” medical machines ever. It’s also 10 times more expensive than X-ray radiotherapy. Even so, Allinson believes that most cancer treatment will be done by protons in the future. “I think it will improve the quality of life of many cancer patients,” he says.

【1】What point does the first paragraph make?

A. Cancer is a really terrible disease.

B. Lots of people get cancer every year in the UK.

C. Radiotherapy isn’t a perfect way to cure cancer.

D. Radiotherapy is a commonly used therapy against cancer.

【2】What can be concluded about the new therapy?

A. It’s much cheaper than X-ray radiotherapy.

B. It depends on protons to locate the cancer cells.

C. Damaging the cancer by replacing X-rays with lasers is much more accurate.

D. It uses protons to damage the cancer cells without damaging healthy cells.

【3】According to Professor Allinson, the new therapy ________.

A. will enable cancer patients to enjoy a better life

B. will cure most cancers in the future

C. will ensure that cancer patients live longer

D. will replace radiotherapy completely

【4】What can be inferred from the text?

A. Science and technology are a double-edged sword.

B. Not every cancer patient will be able to afford proton therapy.

C. Radiotherapy is completely the wrong way to cure cancer.

D. The complex medical machine mentioned will soon be put into use.

22、Next month, I’m traveling to a remote area of Central Africa and my aim is to know enough Lingala — one of the local languages — to have a conversation. I wasn’t sure how I was going to manage this — until I discovered a way to learn all the vocabulary I’m going to need. Thanks to Memrise, the app I’m using. It feels just like a game.

“People often stop learning things because they feel they’re not making progress or because it all feels like too much hard work,” says Ed Cooke, one of the people who created Memrise. “We’re trying to create a form of learning experience that is fun and is something you’d want to do instead of watching TV.”

Memrise gives you a few new words to learn and these are “seeds” which you plant in your “greenhouse”. When you practice the words, you “water your plants”. When the app believes that you have really remembered a word, it moves the word to your “garden”. And if you forget to log on, the app sends you emails that remind you to “water your plants”.

The app uses two principles about learning. The first is that people remember things better when they link them to a picture in their mind. Memrise translates words into your own language, but it also encourages you to use “mems”. For example, I memorized motele, the Lingala word for “engine”, using a mem I created — I imagined an old engine in a motel (汽车旅馆) room.

The second principle is that we need to stop after studying words and then repeat them again later, leaving time between study sessions. Memrise helps you with this, because it’s the kind of app you only use for five or ten minutes a day.

I’ve learnt hundreds of Lingala words with Memrise. I know this won’t make me a fluent speaker, but I hope I’ll be able to do more than just smile when I meet people in Congo. Now, I need to go and water my vocabulary!

【1】What does Ed Cooke make an effort to do with Memrise?

A. Create memorable experiences.

B. Make progress with hard work.

C. Master languages through games.

D. Combine study with entertainment.

【2】What do the underlined words “water your plants” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Learning new words.   B. Being a Memrise user.

C. Logging on to the app.   D. Taking care of your garden.

【3】How does Memrise work?

A. By linking different mems together.

B. By putting knowledge into practice.

C. By offering human translation services.

D. By applying an associative memory approach.

【4】What is the author’s attitude towards Memrise?

A. Positive.   B. Doubtful.

C. Uncaring.   D. Disapproving.

23、Recently, Londoners were treated to a new way in dining. Food Ink, “the world’s first 3D printing restaurant”, opened to a group of guests who dined on a nine-course meal prepared right before their eyes using 3D printers. Even the restaurant’s tables and chairs, cups and plates were created with 3D technology. With London just the beginning, Food Ink plans to bring its innovative restaurant format to a number of other cities around the globe.

Like other 3D applications, printing food is a process that builds layers upon layers of material on top of each other. Each layer is pushed through a print head to form an object with a desired shape, texture, size, and so forth. Unlike other 3D printing, which uses spools(线轴) to create objects out of plastic, food materials in 3D printing are inserted into a syringe(吸管) like container which are then pressed into the shape required. Any food ingredients that can be turned into a paste(糊状物) can be used in 3D food printing.

Fine dining is only one aspect of the food industry about to be revolutionized by 3D printing. Researchers have been exploring ways to use 3D printing to fight world hunger. Mass production of food using powdered nutritional ingredients could help feed a growing population. This is especially important with the world population projected to be 6.5 billion by 2030. The 3D-printed food would have the advantage of being produced cheaply and having a long shelf life.

The technology will enable consumers to quickly make meals with ingredients to suit their specific health needs. The Netherlands Organization for applied scientific research is turning to 3D printing to mash up(捣成糊状) peas, broccoli, and carrots to produce 3D-printed versions of the vegetables. These are easier to chew but hold their shape. The 3D-printed vegetables are being served throughout nursing homes in Germany. It seems that there is no end to the potential of 3D printing.

【1】What can we learn about “Food Ink”?

A．It attracts lots of guests.

B．It’s a 3D technology company.

C．It is popular around the world.

D．It features the 3D printing food.

【2】What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about 3D printing food?

A．Its target users.

B．Its wide popularity.

C．Its major function.

D．Its production process.

【3】Why can 3D printing food fight world hunger?

A．It can make food tastier.

B．It can make food more nutritional.

C．It can reduce food production cost.

D．It will slow world population growth.

【4】What message does the author seem to convey in the text?

A．3D printing has a bright future.

B．3D printing food will replace the traditional food.

C．3D application has been used in every aspect of our life.

D．Netherland and Germany are leading the 3D technology.

24、FIFA, soccer's governing body, will seek to expand the Women's World Cup from 24 to 32 teams and double the prize money.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino wants more teams for 2023, but knows FIFA must work quickly "We will discuss it as a matter of urgency and se if we can already decide to increase for 2023, in which case we should reopen the bidding process and allow everyone to have a chance to organize or maybe co-host for some of those who have been bidding already for a 24-team World Cup, ""Nothing is impossible and based on the success of the 2019 World Cup, of course we have to believe bigger and to do what we should have done already probably some time ago, "Gianni said before the July 7 final between the United States and the Netherlands. The U, S. women's team won 2:0, which helped the growth of women's soccer.

Gianni earlier prioritized（优先考虑）enlarging the Men's World Cup. He pushed for a jump from 32 to 48 teams for the 2026 World Cup that the United States co-hosts with Canada and Mexico. A bid to speed up the process of expansion for the 2022 tournament in Qatar failed in May. That event will see teams dividing a $440 million prize. In addition, club teams, meaning professional teams, that let their players participate in the Cup will receive a total of $S209 million.

However, women's teams earn much less for competing at the women's event. FIFA plans to double the prize money and will spend more to prepare players and pay clubs releasing players. Gianni said that share would total $100 million. Gianni said FIFA would double its spending on women's soccer to $1 billion. Later, he said that most of it will not be going directly to players. Most of the money would be reserved for soccer federations（联合会）to request for specific projects that would require approval from FIFA.

【2】What can we learn about the 2019 World Cup?

A．It's a men's event.

B．It allows 32 teams to participate.

C．It contributes to the expansion of women's teams.

D．It doubles the prize for women players.

【3】Why does the author mention the Men's World Cup?

A．To encourage people to engage in soccer.

B．To arouse public concern for the Men's World Cup.

C．To show the importance of the Men's World Cup.

D．To stress the need to increase funds in women's teams.

【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
