Ida Nelson was luxuriating in her sauna(桑拿)when she heard the thunder of a small airplane circling the nearby airport. It was 11:30 at night in the Alaskan village of Igiugig, population 70, and, as she told the New York Times, “Any time a plane flies over that late, you know something is wrong.” Nelson leaped out of the sauna, ran to the window, and saw the problem: The airport’s runway lights were out.

Nelson threw on some clothes, jumped into her ATV, and floored it to the airport, where she found a local pilot trying to turn on the lights manually. “Normally, if you push the button 10 or 15 times, the lights will just light up,” Nelson said. Not this time. Meanwhile, she and the pilot learned of the plane’s urgent mission: It was a medevac( 医疗后送直升飞机 ), there to transport a seriously ill local girl to the nearest hospital, 280 miles away in Anchorage.

Nelson had a plan. Driving her ATV to the end of the runway, she switched her headlights on for the plane to follow. Great idea, but it wasn’t enough. More light was needed, so a neighbor called nearly every home in the village—32 of them. Within 20 minutes, 20 vehicles arrived at the airport, many of the drivers still in pajamas( 睡衣 ). Following directions from the medevac pilot, the cars lined up on one side of the runway.

The medevac made its final approach and, guided by the headlights, landed safely. The young patient was loaded onto the aircraft, and the plane immediately took off again. Her illness was never publicly revealed, but she has since been released from the hospital.

In a world filled with uncertainty, the little community’s positive activism is a big deal. Not so much for Nelson. As she told CNN, in Igiugig, coming together is “kind of a normal deal”.

24. Why did Nelson hurry to the airport?

A. She was late for the flight.

B. The plane was going to crash.

C. She was to aid the 70 people.

D. The runway lights might have gone wrong.

25. What’s Nelson’s plan to help the medevac?

A. To take over the urgent mission.   B. To fix the lights along the runway.

C. To drive the patient to Anchorage.   D. To shine headlights on the runway.

26. How did Nelson’s neighbors respond to her plan?

A. They disapproved of it.    B. They hesitated to react.

C. They took immediate action.  D. They put forward a better plan.

27. Why is positive activism “not so much” for Nelson?

A. Because she doesn’t care about it.

B. Because she is uncertain about its value.

C. Because she is not so positive about life.

D. Because she thinks it is what villagers should do.

C

Some scientists have detected a chemical on Venus (金星) that isn’t expected to be there, which leads them to wonder what is producing the chemical.

Venus may look beautiful in the night sky, but it’s a harsh planet. Its clouds are made of acid. And its atmosphere is so thick that if you could stand on the planet’s surface, you would feel like you were 3,000 feet under the sea. It is the hottest planet in the solar system, with an average temperature of 464℃. Though people have often wondered if Venus used to have life, most people don’t believe life exists there. Now, as a result of work by a group of scientists led by Dr. Jane Greaves from Cardiff University, there may be reason to question that.

The scientists found a molecule called phosphine (磷化氢) in Venus’ atmosphere. On Earth, some bacteria produce small amounts of phosphine in oxygen-free environments. Phosphine molecules aren’t very stable, so they tend to break apart or burn up easily.

Many scientists believe phosphine might be a sign of life on other planets. So the scientists were puzzled when they found signs of phosphine high in the atmosphere of Venus. They double-checked their result and it was the same — high in the clouds there appeared to be too much phosphine.

That led the scientists to think about what could make the phosphine. They studied many ideas, from sunlight, lightning strikes to volcanoes. But none of these could produce the amount of phosphine they detected. One possible explanation for the phosphine is simple — life. For example, some sort of bacteria can somehow survive in the acid clouds of Venus.

The discovery of phosphine on Venus has caused a lot of excitement. The scientists behind the study are eager to do more research. Now, many other people are also looking to focus on the planet and perhaps even create missions to explore Venus’ atmosphere.

28. According to Paragraph 2, what’s generally believed about Venus?

A. Life exists there for long.

B. It is an unlivable planet.

C. It is one of the hottest planets.

D. The clouds on Venus are thin and acidic.

29. What do we know about phosphine on Venus?

A. It is a kind of gas low in the clouds.  B. It is a possible marker of life.

C. It contributes to the birth of life.   D. It is stable in oxygen-free environments.

30. What does the underlined word “That” in Paragraph 5 refer to?

A.The presence of phosphine.  B. The amount of acid.

C.The instability of phosphine.  D. The high temperature.

31. What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Is There Life on Venus?    B. Oxygen Spotted on Venus

C. A New Way to Explore Venus  D. Will Astronauts Land on Venus?

D

Esports (electronic sports) are organized competitions where players — often referred to as “athletes” — face off against each other in video games. They are not just games in a sense. Actually, they are a sport that can improve the players’ thinking ability, hand-eye coordination, willpower and team spirit.

The esports industry has experienced significant growth in recent years around the world, though it’s still in the nascent stage, which means it has huge growth potential going forward.

While the assumption is that esports are only a recent phenomenon, in reality the first esports-like event was held back in 1972, when some Stanford University students competed against one another in the game Spacewar. The prize? A year-long subscription to Rolling Stone magazine.

The ’80s saw the first true videogame tournament, with over 10,000 players gathering for the Space Invaders Championship. However, most of the period saw that players focused on beating each other’s highest scores rather than competing in organized tournaments.

As gaming became more popular, the ’90s became the first decade when esports (a term which wasn’t yet coined) began to really take off, with companies such as Nintendo and Sega holding professional gaming tournaments. This is also when we began to see money becoming a factor in professional gaming. But it is the 1997 Red Annihilation Quake tournament that is considered the world’s first real esports event. Only a few weeks later, the Cyberathlete Professional League was formed — an organization which is considered a pioneer of esports.

Due to the normalization of gaming and the Internet (along with technological advances), the real surge ( 激增 ) of esports came in the recent decade. It was then that we began seeing what we now know to be modern-day esports. As streaming platforms such as YouTube took off, people began to show interest in not only playing videogames but watching them too. Popular tournaments now sell out stadiums and professional players can earn millions from prize money, advertising and salaries.

32. What does the underlined word “nascent” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Beginning.  B. Peak.   C. Mature.  D. Final.

33. How does the text mainly develop?

A. By providing examples.   B. By making comparisons.

C. By following the order of time.  D. By following the order of importance.

34. What can be learned about esports?

A. They spread worldwide overnight.

B. Prize money appeared in the 1990s.

C. The first real esports event was held in 1972.

D. The athletes in esports are programmers.

35. What seems to be the author’s viewpoint on modern-day esports?

A. They are getting popular.

B. They become too commercialized.

D. Their development relies on advertising.

C. They boost the normalization of the Internet.

Bryan and Tamera Wong of Clovis, California, once had a very different plan for their life together. They imagined having two children and Tamera driving a convertible (敞篷车). But there seemed a different plan waiting for them, they say, and it’s far better.

The couple has 12 children.   36   Tamera drives a van that can seat 15 people, and she couldn’t be happier.

Their eldest biological daughter, Breanna, 20, had a hand in the adoptions. At age 6, she asked her parents a big question as they collected items to send to an orphanage (孤儿院) in Mexico, “Mom, I know we are gathering all these clothes and toys for orphans.   37   ”

They thought over her question, and it led them to adopt a healthy baby girl, Brooklyn, from an orphanage in China in 2004.

  38   That led to the adoption of Blythe, 17, Bethany, 10, Braxton, 10, Bayley, 8, Bella, 7, Beka-Joy, 4, and Bennett, 4. Four are missing limbs, and two have a birth defect where the spinal chord（脊髓） doesn’t develop properly. Blythe has a neurological disorder.

“We think we are saving these kids and we are helping them out, but really they truly blessed (护佑) us,” Bryan says. “   39   ”

Bryce, 16, one of the Wongs’ four biological children, loves his big family. “We should love the orphans of the world, and I feel like we are pretty much doing that,” Bryce says.   36   “I think they are definitely taking action. Not just listening, but doing.”

A. He’s proud of his parents.

B. What can we do to help them keep fit?

C. Eight are adopted — seven with disabilities.

D. We are able to learn many things through them.

E. But isn’t what orphans really need just a family?

F. The couple always dreamed of having a big family.

G. After that, they started looking for children with the most needs.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

You may well have heard of the term “spring cleaning” — the act of giving your house a deep clean 61.______ the spring months. Even though, for many of us, that once-a-year blitz (彻底打扫) of dirt is dying out, some of us still practise it. However, there could be a good reason the tradition isn’t as popular as it 62.______(be).

The spring months 63.______(associate) with new life and 64.______(warm). For protection against the freezing weather outside, people would seal their doors and windows to keep the heat in. In a time 65.______ many houses had fireplaces, open fires would produce smoke and black powder, coating rooms with layers of dust.

It therefore made sense for people 66.______(start) cleaning in the spring, when the weather was warmer and windows opened, to freshen up 67.______(they) houses, sweeping the floors and cleaning the walls. However, open fires are no longer commonplace in modern homes, with people 68.______(prefer) central heating to dirty smoke.

However, psychologists argue that the mental health benefits of clearing the house of mess mean that a spring clean is 69.______(huge) positive. The perception of your house being filled with too many things can cause the stress hormone cortisol(激素皮质醇) to rise.

So, the psychological benefits of having a tidy home mean that a once-a-year blitz of 70.______ (necessary) items, rather than dirt, can make you feel much better.
