My mother always told me, “You should explore your own country before stepping out into the world.” However, it seems like a tough mission to travel all across its expansive surfaces. But luckily for me, Via Rail Canada offered youths between the ages of 18 and 25 the chance to ride the train across Canada for the month of July. The ticket was a bargain $150. My best friends Trevor, Joel and Jeremy and I immediately jumped at the opportunity and secured four tickets on the great Canadian railroad.

For a group of 20-year-olds, this was like the first flight of young birds from the nest. When we approached the train station in the morning, our 22-day adventure from Sudbury to Vancouver was to begin. Eyes baggy from lack of sleep, we jumped on board as if it was the train to Hogwarts in Harry Potter. Although the thought of three full days on those tracks covering close to 3,000 kilometres crushed our spirits a little, what happened next caught us by surprise.

The three days on board turned into a summer camp on rails. At night, we would climb up the glass-domed train car, which gave us a scenic view of the starry night sky,untouched by the harmful light pollution. Before we knew it, the warm sun rays beating down on our faces woke us up for another day on the rails. To my surprise, a sea of golden grain fields dominated the landscape-we were in the Canadian Prairies.

Another day slipped away and we set up for another night in the dome. And this time we were greeted by night sky painted by a fantastic thunderstorm. Lightning was striking at an incredible rate. The spectacular and memorable light show left everyone in the glass bubble in complete disbelief.

Arriving in the Rocky Mountains was one of the most surreal（离奇的）experiences of my life. Before the train adventure, if I could have skipped the travel and arrived at the destination, I would have. That is no longer true. I've learned that the journey can be more enjoyable than the destination.24.What has made the author's train adventure across Canada a reality?

A.The encouragement given by his mother.

B.The appeal of the scenic views in the country.

C. The discount ticket offered by Via Rail Canada.

D.His great courage to challenge a tough mission.

25. What can we infer about the young people from paragraph 2?

A. They were excited about the coming train journey.

B.They left their parents for the first time in their life.

C. They never thought of having a train adventure.

D.They were hooked by the magic story of Harry Potter.

26.What does the underlined part “the glass bubble” in the fourth paragraph refer to?

A. A brain in lack of imagination.

C. A summer camp on the train.

B.The glass-domed train car.

D.The sightseeing bus.

27. What did the author learn from the train adventure across Canada?

A. Opportunities are hard to get.

B. Enjoying a journey counts a lot.

C.Splendid scenery attracts young people.

D.The travelling experience is not real to him.

C

The national outpouring of grief（悲痛） at the death of two legendary academicians（传奇院士）over the weekend， as if people had lost beloved members of their own families， offers much food for thought.

At 1:02 pm on May 22nd,2021,liver surgeon Wu Mengchao,99, died in Shanghai.He is known as the founder of hepatobiliary surgery（肝胆外科）in the country and was the teacher of roughly 80 percent of the nation's experts and doctors specializing in liver surgery today. Wu operated on thousands of patients, and saved at least 16,000 lives. Five minutes later in Changsha,Hunan Province,agricultural scientist Yuan Longping died at the age of 91. He was known as the father of hybrid rice who helped lift the nation out of hunger.With their dedication to science and commitment to the people, the two devoted their lives to saving lives and improving people's livelihoods. Together with generations of their students, they not only made a big difference to the lives of the Chinese people, but also many living in other developing and least-developed countries.

Wu insisted that medical science is humanity while Yuan's lifelong dream was always to enable the Chinese people to fill their own bowls with rice. What makes Wu and Yuan great is not only their achievements, but also their shared attachment to the people. The public's spontaneous（自发的）outpouring of grief at their deaths， which has been rare in the country for decades, shows how much their down-to-earth dedication to improving people's lives touched hearts throughout the country.

Yuan and Wu are just two representatives of the large numbers of scientific workers that have devoted their lives to their research, giving the country's people-centered development principle more practical meaning. The country needs more scientists to inherit and carry forward their spirit. Even those in other walks of life can draw inspiration from the two academicians' commitment to their dreams, care for the people, and unconcern about material enjoyment, so as to make the best of what life grants for themselves and others.

28.Which two fields do Wu Mengchao and Yuan Longping specialize in?

A. Education and agriculture.

B.Medicine and social science.

C.Education and social science.

D.Hepatobiliary surgery and agriculture.

29. What does the underlined word “dedication” in paragraph 3 mean?

A.Devotion.

B.Influence.

C.Exploration.

D.Respect.

30. Why did the academicians' death grieve the whole nation?

A. Because the modern Internet helped to spread the news.

B.Because Wu and Yuan are well known over the country.

C.Because people think it necessary to follow the sorrowful trend.

D.Because they made great contributions and shared selfless love to the people.

31.What's the best title for the text?

A. A sorrowful weekend

B.Let their scientific spirit live on

C.Two great academicians passed away

D. The great contributions of two great scientists

D

What picture do you have of the future? Will life in the future be better, worse or the same as now? What do you hope about the future? Futurologists predict that life will probably be very different in 2050 in all the fields of activity, from entertainment to technology.

First of all, it seems that TV channels will disappear by 2050. Instead, people will choose a program from a “menu” and the computer will send the program directly to the television. By 2050, music, films, programs, newspapers and books will come to us by computer.

In what concerns the environment, water will become one of our most serious problems. Demand for water will increase ten times between now and 2050 and there could be serious shortages. Some futurologists predict that water could be the cause of war if we don't act now.

In transport, cars will run on new, clean fuels and they will go very fast. Cars will have computers to control the speed of the cars and there won't be any accident. Today many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are. By 2050,the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination.

In the domain of technology, robots will replace people in factories. Many factories have already used robots. Big companies prefer robots-they do not ask for money or go on strike, and they work 24 hours a day. By 2050, we will see robots everywhere-in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.

Last but not least, medicine technology will conquer many diseases. Today scientists have discovered how to control genes. They have already produced clones of animals. By 2050, scientists will be able to produce clones of people and decide how they look,how they behave and how much intelligence they have. Scientists will be able to do these things-but should they?

32. What's the purpose of the first paragraph?

A. To arouse the interest of the reader.

B.To tell the background of the passage.

C.To introduce the topic of the passage.

D.To describe the pictures of the future.

33. We can know from the passage that 

A.computers will finally take the place of the media nowadays

B. robots will completely replace people in factories

C. computers will tell drivers exactly where they are in the future

D. it is more convenient to choose programs sent by the computer

34. What's the author's attitude towards the life by 2050?

A.Excited but pessimistic.

C.Eager but afraid.

B. Optimistic but worried.

D.Confident but cautious.

35.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that 

A. all diseases will not be conquered by scientists

B. scientists have known the way to produce genes

C. scientists have produced clones of people

D.the clones of animals have a long way to go

How to Be a Reporter

Being a reporter encompasses（包含）so many things. You could be the face of a news station, a regular contributor to a magazine or newspaper, or you could be tweeting and blogging as your own brand of news sourcing. If any and all of this sounds good to you, with a little hard work it could be your future.

36 If you have a gift for writing and your grammar is top-shelf, be active in your school's newspaper-or any other writing program they have, for that matter. The sooner your resume starts beefing up, the better. Even if you're writing the school lunch menu, it counts.

Work on your campus newspaper, radio, or with other news outlets. One of the greatest things about college is that there are so many opportunities. If you're not engaged in your campus newspaper, there're half a dozen other resources you can be a part of.37 It doesn't have to be perfect now; it just has to be a start.

Work your way up. The more and more experience you get, the wider and wider your reputation，and the bigger and more impressive your portfolio（作品集），the more and more doors will open for you. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither is your career.38

Find a training period. 39 Spend a couple of months dedicated to finding the best internship（实习）-preferably one that＇s paying. The bigger and better the reputation of the company, the further you'll start ahead when you're looking for a full-time, salaried job.

Keep up your digital presence. 40 It means having a website, designing your blog, making videos, and being present online. You're not just a writer, you're your own brand. This is you making yourself a well-rounded development in the journalism community.

A. But with time, it will bloom.

B. Get on your high school's newspaper.

C. You got to walk before you can run.

D. Do something in line with your interests.

E. Get comfortable with all aspects of reporting.

F. Being a reporter does not mean just writing.

G. There are hundreds of websites out there for good material.

Many of us thought the world had four oceans-the Atlantic, Indian, Pacific and Arctic Oceans. That's what we              61(teach) in school. However, a search on the Internet will show that there is also 62 “Southern Ocean” around the South Pole and Antarctica（南极洲）．The National Geographic Society has now 63 （official） accepted that this body of water around Antarctica is a real ocean. Alex Tait, a geographer, said, “We think it's really important 64              an educational viewpoint, as well as from a map-labelling standpoint, 65 (bring) attention to the Southern Ocean as a fifth ocean.” Geography teachers will now have to teach their students that the world has five oceans.

National Geographic said its recognition of the world having a fifth ocean would have an impact on 66 children see the world. Mr Tait said, “Students learn information about the world through what 67 (ocean) they're studying. If you don't include the Southern Ocean, then they don't learn how important it is.” He said that 68 (recognize) the Southern Ocean would help students understand more about climate change. He wrote,  “Antarctica forms a distinct ecological region 69 (define) by ocean currents and temperatures.”  National Geographic said，“The Southern  Ocean has unique and fragile marine（海洋的） ecosystems that are home to 70 (wonder) marine life such as whales, penguins and seals.”
