阅读理解
When I was six, I embarrassed a boy in class by telling the teacher he’d wet himself. He sat far behind me but I smelled it, intensely. He was so upset that my grandmother was called into school. When we got home, she warned, “Never use your sense of smell for that again.” She explained that I, like her, had hereditary hyperosmia, meaning I’m a super-smeller.
My husband Les and I both pursued medical careers. One day, I was struck by the smell of a patient. I later learned that she had diabetes (糖尿病) and what I smelled was raised ketones, a chemical produced by the liver (肝). I knew doctors wouldn’t accept my diagnoses (诊断), so I stayed quiet.
In 1982, before Les’s 32nd birthday, I smelt something strange on him. I thought it might be the air of the place he worked in. Twelve years later, in 1994, he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. It wasn’t until the last months of his life, more than 20 years later, that we discovered I could detect the disease in others, too.
We felt a responsibility to do something. We attended a lecture by Prof. Kunath, a neurobiologist. I asked, “Why is the smell of Parkinson’s not being used for early diagnosis?, , He didn’t answer and we left, disappointed. But four months later, he called our home. He had found me after relaying my question to a colleague, who told him, “You must find her.” We began to work as a team to prove my theory.
When Les died in 2015, he made me promise I’d carry on the research. I spent time in labs, smelling sufferers9 skin oil on swabs (棉签). I could detect whether the person had Parkinson’s with 95% accuracy. This year, our research team published a breakthrough: a three-minute test that can detect the disease by running a swab along someone’s neck.
I’ve become known and delivered many lectures. I’m working on detecting cancers and tuberculosis. I never imagined, at 72, this would be my lift’s work. I constantly think about how I lost my Les, but also how I finally fulfilled my promise.

Michael stands in a circle with the other boys. At the center of it is Coach Dave, a former college wrestler, now wrestling coach. “I honestly believe each kid can win every match,” Coach Dave says. “And I tell them that.”
The mental strength gained from a coach is as important as physical strength. And Michael soaked it up. As a freshman, Michael lost half of his matches, but the next year the practice began to pay off, “It finally just clicks,” Michael says. “You walk onto the mat, and you know you’re going to win. When Coach Dave tells you how you are going to beat an opponent, you just go out and do it.”
At a tournament in Reno, Michael was ranked nationally and faced a wrestler from the Midwest ranked a few spots above him. In the final seconds of the match, ahead by one point, Michael clung to the lead while his opponent clung to his ankle, trying to get a takedown. Michael was hopping his way out of the circle to gain a restart. It’s the easy way out, like a boxer ducking out of the ring to get a breather and preserve a lead.With his back to his opponent, he took one more step. The opponent grabbed the other ankle, and Michael went down, Two points. Match over.
After the match, Dave asked one question, “Are you going to run away from challenges in life or turn and face them?” Michael knew exactly what he’d done wrong-and that it could become a lifelong flaw if he didn’t correct it. All he had to do was turn into his opponent and counterattack. “You’ll beat him next time,” Coach Dave said.
Eventually Michael won the tournament and won a lot of matches that year, but the encouragement from Dave is where he learned the most. “When someone believes in you like that, you know you can do it,” Michael says, “I often hear Coach Dave when I’m in tough situations. ‘No excuses, just do it.’ That encouragement has been my guide.”

After graduating from Chongqing City Management College, Tan Minyan from Chongqing decided to become a cemetery custodian(守墓人).
“With four colleagues. I don’t need to worry about any complicated relationships, ”the 22-year-old shared on her Sina Weibo. “Moreover, my office, dormitory and canteen are in the same building. the pace of work is slow and I almost feel as if I have retired early.”
Her decision has caused heated discussion on social media in November about how young people nowadays can deal with social anxiety and benefit from genuine interpersonal relationships.
According to the survey conducted in2021 by China Youth Daily, more than 80 percent of the nearly 5,000 college students questioned said they had mild social anxiety disorder. The disorder surfaces most frequently when speaking in front of large groups, communicating with strangers and asking for favors.
Cheng Qiang, who works for a media group in Beijing is one of them. The 29-year-old told China Daily he started having social anxiety disorder in middle school.
To avoid contact with coworkers, Cheng often wore a mask even when going to the toilet or kitchen so he would encounter fewer people.
”The disorder becomes more severe when I am around people who know me but are not close.“ he told China Daily. ”Their attention makes me nervous, and I don’t know how to respond.“
Wang Wenda, a psychology lecturer at Ningxia University’s Xinhua College, found that most of the people who suffer from social anxiety are introverted, lack confidence or social skills, or have suffered traumatic(造成创伤的)interpersonal relationships.
He also believes that the disorder is not trivial. It may lead to panic attacks and other psychological problems as a result of a lack of contact with other people.
According to China Daily, Wang’s suggested solution was as follows: ”People with social anxiety disorder should go out and expose themselves to more social gatherings and practice their social skills, adding that through greater social experience and small successes in social encounters, they will reap the benefits of having a real social life and come to enjoy positive interpersonal relations.”
12．Why is Tan Minyan’s experience mentioned at the beginning of the text?
A．To suggest an alternative career path.
B．To lead up to the topic of social anxiety.
C．To illustrate what young people value in their work.
D．To present people’s attitudes toward her profession.

B．They find it hard to do everyday tasks.
C．They feel uneasy when asking for favors.
D．They always feel anxious in public places.
14．What does the underlined word “trivial“ in the second-to-last paragraph most probably mean?
A．Urgent. B．Influential.
C．Unimportant. D．Complicated
15．What does Wang suggest people with social anxiety disorder do?
A．Join a social anxiety support group.
B．Go outside to relax themselves.

D．Engage in more social activities.
Standing on the shore of a lake. I can’t help but marvel at the tens or hundreds of thousands of small rocks that surround my boots. They were all created from hard surfaces, their edges softening over time.
And I wonder, can we learn from a pile of rocks?
Even the tallest mountains have worn down; none are as tall as they were 1.000 years ago. And much like a rock, I’ve found my attitude has softened and my desire to better understand others has expanded with each trip around the sun.
Once I too was a sharp rock covered in pointy edges. Today, after decades of the waters of life coursing over me, my edges are softer and more understanding. I’m less likely to judge and more interested in learning how we can exist together.
But I’m not a rock. I’m a human being filled with all the drama built into my DNA．
Two years ago, while traveling in the Pacific Northwest, I watched a restaurant owner ask several people to leave for not wearing masks. Not forceful and not rude. On the door read a sign: “Please wear a mask before entering our restaurant. We don’t like it either, but let’s all do what we can to get through this together.”
The group of young men wished to argue about the note.
I sat watching, understanding both sides. I’ve been those guys before, using my youthful edges to chip away at the world. What I lost, however, was the ability to grow from experiences by looking through the eyes of others. In learning to be more open, I’ve also found more happiness and success.
You can fit more rounded rocks in a jar than those with sharp edges. The former look for ways to adjust and make room for others; the latter never give an inch to accommodate others.
Time, like the waters rolling against once sharp stones, changes us by washing away our resistance to seeing the world from another’s point of view.
I placed a rounded stone into my jacket pocket. Mother Nature is holding class again.
16．What does the author compare the rocks to?
A．People’s abilities. B．People’s personalities.
C．What nature offers us. D．Challenges we come across.
17．Why did the group of guys argue in the restaurant?
A．They were dissatisfied with the owner’s attitude to them.
B．They were unwilling to do what the owner wished them to.
C．They intended to skip out on the bill due to the poor service.
D．They were not allowed to leave the restaurant for their rudeness.
18．What does the author want to tell us with this text?
A．We should adjust to new conditions.
B．Be brave when in the face of difficulties in life.
C．It’s necessary to consider the feelings of others.
D．Being open and understanding brings you more happiness.
19．What might be the best title of the text?
A．Changing with Time B．Learning from Nature
C．Growing from Experiences D．Seeing from a Different Angle
Photosynthesis(光合作用)is a unique skill of green plants-they turn water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and food via sunlight. A group of Chinese scientists, however, ”copied” the process on animals.
To understand the new breakthrough, it is important to know how photosynthesis works Plants take in carbon dioxide and water from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose (葡萄糖). The plant then releases the oxygen back into the air and stores energy within the glucose molecules.
In the study, the researchers from Zhejiang University developed an independent and controllable photosynthetic system, according to the study published in Nature in early December. They separated thylakoids, a part of the cell where light reactions take place in plants, from young spinach(菠菜)leaves. The scientists then wrapped the thylakoids with the cover of animal cells, which made the implanted thylakoids more acceptable to foreign bodies.
The mice used in the study were suffering from arthritis(关节炎)meaning cells in their cartilage had degenerated and could not be repaired by themselves. With the thylakoids implanted into the mice and exposed to light, the mice recovered. Their metabolism(新陈代谢)returned to normal.
In arthritis, the patients usually have energy loss since fewer energy-carrying molecules are generated. The implant, however, can correct the imbalance by storing more energy via photosynthesis.
The researchers also claimed that their tests would have medical usage. It can be used as part of solution for degenerative diseases because the natural photosynthesis system my repair cells. It may also delay the aging process in cells.
The study showed an exciting achievement that opens up possibilities of metabolism engineering” commented one of the paper’s reviewers Francisco Cejudo from the University of Seville in Spain, reported Xinhua.
20．Why does the author mention the way photosynthesis works in Paragraph 2?
A．To explain to us the definition of photosynthesis..
B．To prove plants’ ability to release the oxygen back into the air.
C．To show us how plants turn water and carbon dioxide into oxygen
D．To help us understand how scientists apply the principle to animals.
21．Why did researchers cover thylakoids with animal cells?
A．To lead to light reactions.
B．To provide them with nutrition.
C．To prevent them from degeneration.
D．To help them work better in foreign bodies.
22．How will the implant help patients with arthritis?
A．By repairing a broken metabolism.
B．By getting rid of degenerated cells.
C．By helping maintain energy balance.
D．By offering energy-carrying molecules.
23．What do the last two paragraphs mainly talk about?
A．Suggestions for future studies.
B．The significance of the study.
C．The limitations of the study.
D．Other findings of the study.

On a hot summer day in 2017, 9-year-old Hayli Martenez set up a lemonade stand outside her home in Kankakee, Illinois. She thought it would be a great way to earn money for college. Hayli’s lemonade stand was a success. In June 2019, a local newspaper wrote an article about her.
But the news coverage turned out to be bad for Hayli’s business. Officials from the local health department soon demanded that she shut it down. They said Hayli needed a permit for her lemonade stand and that it didn’t meet health code requirements. Although Hayli thought it was unfair to prevent a kid from selling lemonade in her front yard, she had no choice but to stop.
News of Hayli’s shutdown spread and caught the attention of an official in the county government. Inspired by Hayli’s story, he came up with a bill, which would make it easier for kids to run lemonade stands. He invited Hayli to speak in support of the bill to a committee of state senators (参议员) in March 2021.
Although Hayli was excited to get the chance to tell her story, she was worried about addressing the group of senators. She was jittery at first. Her voice started to shake and she talked too fast, running out of breath. But Hayli quickly gained confidence when she remembered who she was there to represent.
Hayli’s speech was convincing, and the bill eventually passed. Last July, the bill came into law. Hayli’s Law officially went into effect on January I of this year. It allows kids under 16 in Illinois to sell lemonade and other drinks without a permit. Hayli was back in business and sold her lemonade again this summer. Hayli hopes her experience and the law that was passed in her honor will encourage other young people not to let anyone stop their dreams.

A．The newspaper report.
B．The stand’s illegality.
C．The taste of lemonade.
D．The lemonade stand’s position.
28．What does the underlined word “jittery” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Excited.
B．Confused.
C．Nervous.
D．Curious.
29．What did Hayli regard the meeting with the senators as?
A．A trial for her own wrongdoing.
B．A battle against all the unfair laws.
C．An occasion to show her outstanding ability.
D．A chance to appeal for the benefit of children.
30．What does Hayli wish young people to learn from her story?
A．Being brave to realize their dreams.
B．Being independent of their parents.
C．Establishing a business at a young age.
D．Attaching importance to higher education.
When the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA), the world’s governing body for soccer, claimed that the 2022 World Cup in Qatar would be “a fully carbon-neutral (碳中和) event”, it attracted worldwide laughter from the environmentalists.
World Cup hosts often maintain that stadiums built for the event will remain in constant use after its conclusion—a claim that allows them to spread their carbon footprint over many years. But it’s hard to believe the claim. After all, Qatari soccer culture is still undeveloped. Even soccer- mad countries such as Russia, Brazil and South Africa-hosts of the previous three men’s World Cups-have been left with a group of relatively useless stadiums.
In addition to the carbon cost of the stadiums, Qatar expects to see 1, 300 daily flights to and from the country during the World Cup. But that’s not the only source of airplane emissions. The grass seeds to give rise to the tournament’s green pitches (球场) have been flown in from North America on climate-controlled planes. And these fields won’t water themselves. The groundskeepers who maintain the eight stadium pitches, as well as the 136 practice fields, douse each field with 10, 000 liters of water every day in the winter. In the summer the pitches require a surprising amount of 50, 000 liters each.
Soccer isn’t alone in this. Three recent Olympics-Tokyo 2020, Rio de Janeiro 2016 and Sochi 2014-earned some of the worst environmental sustainability scores. All this raises an important question: Is it even possible to stage a carbon-neutral sports mega event? The ever- expanding size of these events likely puts net-zero emissions out of reach. One recent study found that between 1964 and 2018, the soccer World Cup and the Olympics were about 60 times as large in terms of the number of sports, athletes, journalists, spectators, marketing and costs involved.
The large sports events, as they are currently organized, are unsustainable. Since FIFA and the International Olympic Committee made more environmental claims back in the 1990s, their events have only become bigger, and their effects have only become more severe.
31．What did environmentalists think of FIFA’s claim about the 2022 World Cup?
A．It made no sense.
B．It was worth promoting.
C．It attracted no attention.
D．It lived up to their expectations.
32．What do we know about the stadiums for the previous three men’s World Cups?
A．They are of great cultural value.
B．They are of not much use.
C．They have been completely transformed.
D．They have produced long-term benefits.
33．What’s the third paragraph mainly about?
A．The great scale of the 2022 World Cup.
B．The difficulty in hosting the 2022 World Cup.
C．The high carbon cost of the 2022 World Cup.
D．The huge economic input of the 2022 World Cup.
34．What’s the author’s attitude to the large sports events?
A．Critical.
B．Mixed.
C．Favorable.
D．Unclear.
You probably know that sunshine affects your mental and physical health. New research shows it may also affect your appetite-but only if you’ re male.
That finding surprised Carmit Levy, who had been studying how ultraviolet-B (UV-B) rays affect the skin of mice. The sun’s UV-B rays are the main cause of sunburns and skin changes that can lead to cancer. Levy exposed mice to these rays for a few weeks. The dose was so weak that it didn’t cause any redness. But Levy noticed changes in the animals’ fat tissue. Part of the mice also became heavier.
Levy ordered new mice to look into these unexpected changes. The new group included a mix of males and females. She found that UV-B exposure augmented the appetite of male mice-but not females’. The males also worked harder to get at food that was difficult to reach. Something was really motivating them to eat more.
She wondered whether sunlight might have a similar effect on people. To find it out, she gathered volunteers for two studies. Both suggested that men and women may respond differently to UV-B．But the number of volunteers in these tests was too small to be persuasive.
Fortunately, Levy’s colleague Andrews had access to data from almost 3, 000 people. They’d all participated in Israel’ s first nutrition survey, some 20 years before. These data showed that 1, 330 of the surveyed men consumed more food in summer months. From March to September, they tended to down about 2, 188 daily calories. They averaged only about 1, 875 calories from October to February. The 1, 661 women in this study consumed about 1, 500 calories per day all year long.
Longer days in summer give males of many species more time to hunt and provide for their families. Consuming more food would give them the energy to do just that. In human evolution, UV-B might have motivated our male ancestors to hunt more to help their community survive.
35．What happened to the mice after weeks’ exposure to UV-B rays?
A．Their fat tissue decreased.
B．Some of them gained weight.
C．Their skin became reddened.
D．Some of them developed cancer.
36．The underlined word “augmented“ in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to“__”.
A．increased B．controlled
C．lessened D．replaced
37．What did Levy do when she found her studies weren’t convincing enough?
A．She gathered more volunteers.
B．She set out to conduct more tests.
C．She invited more scientists to join her.
D．She turned to some previous research data.
38．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A．Advantages of males of many species over females.
B．Reasons why males of many species prefer summer.
C．Benefits of UV-B exposure to males of many species.
D．Effects of sunlight on the health of males of many species.

阅读理解
When I was six, I embarrassed a boy in class by telling the teacher he’d wet himself. He sat far behind me but I smelled it, intensely. He was so upset that my grandmother was called into school. When we got home, she warned, “Never use your sense of smell for that again.” She explained that I, like her, had hereditary hyperosmia, meaning I’m a super-smeller.
My husband Les and I both pursued medical careers. One day, I was struck by the smell of a patient. I later learned that she had diabetes (糖尿病) and what I smelled was raised ketones, a chemical produced by the liver (肝). I knew doctors wouldn’t accept my diagnoses (诊断), so I stayed quiet.
In 1982, before Les’s 32nd birthday, I smelt something strange on him. I thought it might be the air of the place he worked in. Twelve years later, in 1994, he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. It wasn’t until the last months of his life, more than 20 years later, that we discovered I could detect the disease in others, too.
We felt a responsibility to do something. We attended a lecture by Prof. Kunath, a neurobiologist. I asked, “Why is the smell of Parkinson’s not being used for early diagnosis?, , He didn’t answer and we left, disappointed. But four months later, he called our home. He had found me after relaying my question to a colleague, who told him, “You must find her.” We began to work as a team to prove my theory.
When Les died in 2015, he made me promise I’d carry on the research. I spent time in labs, smelling sufferers9 skin oil on swabs (棉签). I could detect whether the person had Parkinson’s with 95% accuracy. This year, our research team published a breakthrough: a three-minute test that can detect the disease by running a swab along someone’s neck.
I’ve become known and delivered many lectures. I’m working on detecting cancers and tuberculosis. I never imagined, at 72, this would be my lift’s work. I constantly think about how I lost my Les, but also how I finally fulfilled my promise.

Michael stands in a circle with the other boys. At the center of it is Coach Dave, a former college wrestler, now wrestling coach. “I honestly believe each kid can win every match,” Coach Dave says. “And I tell them that.”
The mental strength gained from a coach is as important as physical strength. And Michael soaked it up. As a freshman, Michael lost half of his matches, but the next year the practice began to pay off, “It finally just clicks,” Michael says. “You walk onto the mat, and you know you’re going to win. When Coach Dave tells you how you are going to beat an opponent, you just go out and do it.”
At a tournament in Reno, Michael was ranked nationally and faced a wrestler from the Midwest ranked a few spots above him. In the final seconds of the match, ahead by one point, Michael clung to the lead while his opponent clung to his ankle, trying to get a takedown. Michael was hopping his way out of the circle to gain a restart. It’s the easy way out, like a boxer ducking out of the ring to get a breather and preserve a lead.With his back to his opponent, he took one more step. The opponent grabbed the other ankle, and Michael went down, Two points. Match over.
After the match, Dave asked one question, “Are you going to run away from challenges in life or turn and face them?” Michael knew exactly what he’d done wrong-and that it could become a lifelong flaw if he didn’t correct it. All he had to do was turn into his opponent and counterattack. “You’ll beat him next time,” Coach Dave said.
Eventually Michael won the tournament and won a lot of matches that year, but the encouragement from Dave is where he learned the most. “When someone believes in you like that, you know you can do it,” Michael says, “I often hear Coach Dave when I’m in tough situations. ‘No excuses, just do it.’ That encouragement has been my guide.”

After graduating from Chongqing City Management College, Tan Minyan from Chongqing decided to become a cemetery custodian(守墓人).
“With four colleagues. I don’t need to worry about any complicated relationships, ”the 22-year-old shared on her Sina Weibo. “Moreover, my office, dormitory and canteen are in the same building. the pace of work is slow and I almost feel as if I have retired early.”
Her decision has caused heated discussion on social media in November about how young people nowadays can deal with social anxiety and benefit from genuine interpersonal relationships.
According to the survey conducted in2021 by China Youth Daily, more than 80 percent of the nearly 5,000 college students questioned said they had mild social anxiety disorder. The disorder surfaces most frequently when speaking in front of large groups, communicating with strangers and asking for favors.
Cheng Qiang, who works for a media group in Beijing is one of them. The 29-year-old told China Daily he started having social anxiety disorder in middle school.
To avoid contact with coworkers, Cheng often wore a mask even when going to the toilet or kitchen so he would encounter fewer people.
”The disorder becomes more severe when I am around people who know me but are not close.“ he told China Daily. ”Their attention makes me nervous, and I don’t know how to respond.“
Wang Wenda, a psychology lecturer at Ningxia University’s Xinhua College, found that most of the people who suffer from social anxiety are introverted, lack confidence or social skills, or have suffered traumatic(造成创伤的)interpersonal relationships.
He also believes that the disorder is not trivial. It may lead to panic attacks and other psychological problems as a result of a lack of contact with other people.
According to China Daily, Wang’s suggested solution was as follows: ”People with social anxiety disorder should go out and expose themselves to more social gatherings and practice their social skills, adding that through greater social experience and small successes in social encounters, they will reap the benefits of having a real social life and come to enjoy positive interpersonal relations.”
12．Why is Tan Minyan’s experience mentioned at the beginning of the text?

C．They feel uneasy when asking for favors.
D．They always feel anxious in public places.
14．What does the underlined word “trivial“ in the second-to-last paragraph most probably mean?
A．Urgent. B．Influential.
C．Unimportant. D．Complicated
15．What does Wang suggest people with social anxiety disorder do?
A．Join a social anxiety support group.
B．Go outside to relax themselves.

Standing on the shore of a lake. I can’t help but marvel at the tens or hundreds of thousands of small rocks that surround my boots. They were all created from hard surfaces, their edges softening over time.
And I wonder, can we learn from a pile of rocks?
Even the tallest mountains have worn down; none are as tall as they were 1.000 years ago. And much like a rock, I’ve found my attitude has softened and my desire to better understand others has expanded with each trip around the sun.
Once I too was a sharp rock covered in pointy edges. Today, after decades of the waters of life coursing over me, my edges are softer and more understanding. I’m less likely to judge and more interested in learning how we can exist together.
But I’m not a rock. I’m a human being filled with all the drama built into my DNA．
Two years ago, while traveling in the Pacific Northwest, I watched a restaurant owner ask several people to leave for not wearing masks. Not forceful and not rude. On the door read a sign: “Please wear a mask before entering our restaurant. We don’t like it either, but let’s all do what we can to get through this together.”
The group of young men wished to argue about the note.
I sat watching, understanding both sides. I’ve been those guys before, using my youthful edges to chip away at the world. What I lost, however, was the ability to grow from experiences by looking through the eyes of others. In learning to be more open, I’ve also found more happiness and success.
You can fit more rounded rocks in a jar than those with sharp edges. The former look for ways to adjust and make room for others; the latter never give an inch to accommodate others.
Time, like the waters rolling against once sharp stones, changes us by washing away our resistance to seeing the world from another’s point of view.

Photosynthesis(光合作用)is a unique skill of green plants-they turn water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and food via sunlight. A group of Chinese scientists, however, ”copied” the process on animals.
To understand the new breakthrough, it is important to know how photosynthesis works Plants take in carbon dioxide and water from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose (葡萄糖). The plant then releases the oxygen back into the air and stores energy within the glucose molecules.
In the study, the researchers from Zhejiang University developed an independent and controllable photosynthetic system, according to the study published in Nature in early December. They separated thylakoids, a part of the cell where light reactions take place in plants, from young spinach(菠菜)leaves. The scientists then wrapped the thylakoids with the cover of animal cells, which made the implanted thylakoids more acceptable to foreign bodies.
The mice used in the study were suffering from arthritis(关节炎)meaning cells in their cartilage had degenerated and could not be repaired by themselves. With the thylakoids implanted into the mice and exposed to light, the mice recovered. Their metabolism(新陈代谢)returned to normal.
In arthritis, the patients usually have energy loss since fewer energy-carrying molecules are generated. The implant, however, can correct the imbalance by storing more energy via photosynthesis.
The researchers also claimed that their tests would have medical usage. It can be used as part of solution for degenerative diseases because the natural photosynthesis system my repair cells. It may also delay the aging process in cells.
The study showed an exciting achievement that opens up possibilities of metabolism engineering” commented one of the paper’s reviewers Francisco Cejudo from the University of Seville in Spain, reported Xinhua.

On a hot summer day in 2017, 9-year-old Hayli Martenez set up a lemonade stand outside her home in Kankakee, Illinois. She thought it would be a great way to earn money for college. Hayli’s lemonade stand was a success. In June 2019, a local newspaper wrote an article about her.
But the news coverage turned out to be bad for Hayli’s business. Officials from the local health department soon demanded that she shut it down. They said Hayli needed a permit for her lemonade stand and that it didn’t meet health code requirements. Although Hayli thought it was unfair to prevent a kid from selling lemonade in her front yard, she had no choice but to stop.
News of Hayli’s shutdown spread and caught the attention of an official in the county government. Inspired by Hayli’s story, he came up with a bill, which would make it easier for kids to run lemonade stands. He invited Hayli to speak in support of the bill to a committee of state senators (参议员) in March 2021.
Although Hayli was excited to get the chance to tell her story, she was worried about addressing the group of senators. She was jittery at first. Her voice started to shake and she talked too fast, running out of breath. But Hayli quickly gained confidence when she remembered who she was there to represent.
Hayli’s speech was convincing, and the bill eventually passed. Last July, the bill came into law. Hayli’s Law officially went into effect on January I of this year. It allows kids under 16 in Illinois to sell lemonade and other drinks without a permit. Hayli was back in business and sold her lemonade again this summer. Hayli hopes her experience and the law that was passed in her honor will encourage other young people not to let anyone stop their dreams.

When the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA), the world’s governing body for soccer, claimed that the 2022 World Cup in Qatar would be “a fully carbon-neutral (碳中和) event”, it attracted worldwide laughter from the environmentalists.
World Cup hosts often maintain that stadiums built for the event will remain in constant use after its conclusion—a claim that allows them to spread their carbon footprint over many years. But it’s hard to believe the claim. After all, Qatari soccer culture is still undeveloped. Even soccer- mad countries such as Russia, Brazil and South Africa-hosts of the previous three men’s World Cups-have been left with a group of relatively useless stadiums.
In addition to the carbon cost of the stadiums, Qatar expects to see 1, 300 daily flights to and from the country during the World Cup. But that’s not the only source of airplane emissions. The grass seeds to give rise to the tournament’s green pitches (球场) have been flown in from North America on climate-controlled planes. And these fields won’t water themselves. The groundskeepers who maintain the eight stadium pitches, as well as the 136 practice fields, douse each field with 10, 000 liters of water every day in the winter. In the summer the pitches require a surprising amount of 50, 000 liters each.
Soccer isn’t alone in this. Three recent Olympics-Tokyo 2020, Rio de Janeiro 2016 and Sochi 2014-earned some of the worst environmental sustainability scores. All this raises an important question: Is it even possible to stage a carbon-neutral sports mega event? The ever- expanding size of these events likely puts net-zero emissions out of reach. One recent study found that between 1964 and 2018, the soccer World Cup and the Olympics were about 60 times as large in terms of the number of sports, athletes, journalists, spectators, marketing and costs involved.
The large sports events, as they are currently organized, are unsustainable. Since FIFA and the International Olympic Committee made more environmental claims back in the 1990s, their events have only become bigger, and their effects have only become more severe.
31．What did environmentalists think of FIFA’s claim about the 2022 World Cup?
A．It made no sense.
B．It was worth promoting.
C．It attracted no attention.
D．It lived up to their expectations.
32．What do we know about the stadiums for the previous three men’s World Cups?
A．They are of great cultural value.
B．They are of not much use.
C．They have been completely transformed.
D．They have produced long-term benefits.
33．What’s the third paragraph mainly about?
A．The great scale of the 2022 World Cup.
B．The difficulty in hosting the 2022 World Cup.
C．The high carbon cost of the 2022 World Cup.
D．The huge economic input of the 2022 World Cup.
34．What’s the author’s attitude to the large sports events?
A．Critical.
B．Mixed.
C．Favorable.
D．Unclear.
You probably know that sunshine affects your mental and physical health. New research shows it may also affect your appetite-but only if you’ re male.
That finding surprised Carmit Levy, who had been studying how ultraviolet-B (UV-B) rays affect the skin of mice. The sun’s UV-B rays are the main cause of sunburns and skin changes that can lead to cancer. Levy exposed mice to these rays for a few weeks. The dose was so weak that it didn’t cause any redness. But Levy noticed changes in the animals’ fat tissue. Part of the mice also became heavier.
Levy ordered new mice to look into these unexpected changes. The new group included a mix of males and females. She found that UV-B exposure augmented the appetite of male mice-but not females’. The males also worked harder to get at food that was difficult to reach. Something was really motivating them to eat more.
She wondered whether sunlight might have a similar effect on people. To find it out, she gathered volunteers for two studies. Both suggested that men and women may respond differently to UV-B．But the number of volunteers in these tests was too small to be persuasive.
Fortunately, Levy’s colleague Andrews had access to data from almost 3, 000 people. They’d all participated in Israel’ s first nutrition survey, some 20 years before. These data showed that 1, 330 of the surveyed men consumed more food in summer months. From March to September, they tended to down about 2, 188 daily calories. They averaged only about 1, 875 calories from October to February. The 1, 661 women in this study consumed about 1, 500 calories per day all year long.
Longer days in summer give males of many species more time to hunt and provide for their families. Consuming more food would give them the energy to do just that. In human evolution, UV-B might have motivated our male ancestors to hunt more to help their community survive.
35．What happened to the mice after weeks’ exposure to UV-B rays?
A．Their fat tissue decreased.
B．Some of them gained weight.
C．Their skin became reddened.
D．Some of them developed cancer.
36．The underlined word “augmented“ in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to“__”.
A．increased B．controlled
C．lessened D．replaced
37．What did Levy do when she found her studies weren’t convincing enough?
A．She gathered more volunteers.
B．She set out to conduct more tests.
C．She invited more scientists to join her.
D．She turned to some previous research data.
38．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A．Advantages of males of many species over females.
B．Reasons why males of many species prefer summer.
C．Benefits of UV-B exposure to males of many species.
D．Effects of sunlight on the health of males of many species.
