China is one of the largest producers and consumers of watermelon in the word. And Wu Mingzhu, a schoolmate of Yuan Longping at Southwest Agricutural College in, Chongqing in the late1940s, is the unsung hero who has helped make this possible.

“Is no exaggeration(夸张) to say that about 80 percent of more than 2,000 of Chia's new seed types of watermelons and sweet melons at people’s dining tables every day are the result of great efforts made by Wu and her team over more than 60 years,” said a colleague of Wu's.

In 1955, Wu voluntarily went to work: in Shanssen County, Turpan Basin in northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region where working condition were hard. In 1958, Wu began to promote the modern technology of planting melons among farmers. However, the local farmers who were used to folk panting methods, didn’t seem to take kindly to that. With the help of a famous local melon expert, Wu opened up three acres of wasteland to plant melon according to scientific knowledge. When autumn arrived, local farmers found the melons Wu planted in a scientific way were particularly delicious. From then on, the farmers began to adopt Wu’s scientific growing methods.

Wu's efforts to grow quality melons began paying off in 1973 when she went to the off-season breeding base in Hainan. She wanted to develop Hainan as a pilot area so that the south area of China could also grow melons, and realize the dream of three-matured or even four matured melons. After numerous difficulties, finally in the 80s, the melon variety selected by Wu succeeded. Wu said, “In Xinjiang, there are thousands of science and technology workers like me. They have worked hard for decades on the front ne of agriculture. I'm just one of the ordinary ones.”

Now dealing with Alzheimer’s disease, Wu is often unable to recognize her former colleagues or even her family members who live by her side. But having worked day and night to breed new seed types since the 1950s, she can still remember her melon work.

24. What does Wu’s colleague want to say according to Paragraph 2?

A. People make profits from planting watermelons.

B. Wu has made great contributions to planting watermelons.

C. China is the largest consumer of watermelon in the world.

D. Wu is delighted to see melons at people's dining tables.

25. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?

A. Local farmers trusted Wu at first.   B. Wu failed to spread her technology.

C. Wu's technology worked in Turpan Basin.  D.A local expert improved Wu's methods.

26. Why did Wu choose Hainan as a breeding base?

A. To attract more watermelon consumers.

B. To earn more money by selling more melons.

C. To guide the local farmers to grow watermelons.

D. To improve the speed and efficiency of breeding.

27. What is the passage mainly about?

A. A devoted watermelon scientist.    B. Wu Mingzhu's lifestyle.

C. Wu Mingzhu's new discovery.    D. The modem technology of melon growing.

C

The Nether and son Monday introduced its first-ever in tell gent bicycle, fitted with electronic dc vices to help bring down the high accident rate among elderly cyclist in the bicycle-mad country.

Developed for the government by the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO), the intelligent bicycle, runs on electricity. A commercial-available bicycle is expected to be on the market in the next two years and should sell for between 1,700 to 3,200 euros per bicycle.

The devices on the bike are lined through an onboard computer with a vibrating(震动的) warning system fitted in the bicycle saddle and handlebars to warn cyclists of the coming danger.

The saddle vibrates when other cyclists approach from behind, while, the handlebars do the same when bamers appear ahead.

“Accidents often happen when cyclists look behind them or get a fright when they are passed at high speed,” said Maurice Kwakkernaat, one of TNO’s research scientists involved in the project “The onboard system technology has already been at work in the car industry,” he said.

“More and more elderly people are using a bicycle, not only for short distances, but also for longer distances,” Dutch Environment and Infrastructure Minister Melanie Schultz van Haegen told AFP, “This type of bicycle is truly needed in the Netherlands because it will help us bring down the number of elderly people who are injured every year and allow them to continue to enjoy cycling,” she said.

In the Netherlands, bicycles outnumber the population of 17 million by at least one million and there are some 25,000 km of bicycle path in the country. Those statistics are set to grow as more and more people take to two-wheeled transport, leading to an increased risk of injury.

Last year, 184 cyclists died in the country, of which 124, or 67%, were older than 65, according to the Central Statistics Office. The year before, 200 cyclists died, the majority of victims also being elderly.

The current model weights 25 kilograms but researchers are working on making the onboard systems smaller.

28. The intelligent bicycle is aimed to             .

A. protect the environment     B. help reduce traffic pressure

C. popular the use of bicycles    D. improve safety for elderly cyclists

29. Which part of the intelligent bicycle will vibrate when another cyclist was suddenly ahead?

A. The handlebars.      B. The wheels.

C. The saddle.       D. The onboard computer.

30. We can learn from the passage that            .

A. the elderly ride bicycles wherever they go

B. the accident rate among elderly cyclists is high

C. the number of elderly cyclists is decreasing

D. the elderly are planning to give up cycling

31. Which is the best tile for the passage?

A. A Test Bicycle       B. Elderly Cyclists

C. A Smart Bicycle      D. A Bicycle-mad Country

D

A recent report revealed that, in the US alone, 27 million tons of plastic ended up in landfills in 2018, but only 3.1 millon tons were recycled. Wordwide the numbers are similarly bad, with just 9% of plastic being recycled. The statistics are even worse for certain types of plastic. For example, out of 80,000 tons of polystyrene (聚苯乙烯) containers generated in the United States, only a small amount (less than 5,000 tons) was recycled.

Now, researchers at The University of Queensland and have found a species of wom with an appetite for polystyrene could be the key to plastic recycling on a mass scale. The superworm can eat through polystyrene, thanks to a bacterial enzyme (酶) in their gut. To study how superworms react to purely plastic food, researchers broke up l35 of the creatures into three teams: one was fed only wheat bran(麸皮), another was fed only plastics, and the third was given nothing.

“We found the bran-fed worms have been significantly healthier than the plastic-fed or starved worms, more than doubling their weight over the three weeks they have been monitored. Though the plastic-fed worms made less impressive gains, they still put on more weight than the starved worms,” Dr. Rinke said. “This suggests the worms can get energy from plastics, most likely with the help of their gut microbes.”

Researchers used a technique called me a genomics to find several encoded enzymes with the ability to degrade polystyrene. The long-term goal is to engineer enzymes to degrade plastic waste in recycling plants.

“Super worms are like mini recycling plants, eating the polystyrene and then feeding it to the bacteria in their gut” Dr. Rinke said. It’s hoped this bio-up cycling will promote plastic waste recycling and reduce landfills. Researchers said they aim to grow the gut bacteria in the lab and further test its ability to degrade polystyrene. Then they can look into how to upscale this process to a level required for an entire recycling plant

32. What problem do the statistics in paragraph 1 indicate?

A. Landfills are poorly managed.

B. It takes a long time for plastic waste to break up.

C. Many plastic containers are of poor quality.

D. Plastics are recycle data very low rate.

33. How do researchers conduct the study on super worms?

A. By collecting data.    B. By introducing a concept.

C. By making a comparison.   D. By refering to a previous study.

34. What does the underlined word “degrade” in the fourth pargraph most probably mean?

A. consume    B. breakdown    C. throwaway    D. regulate

35. What do researchers plan to do?

A. Conduct experiments on other worm species.

B. Improve gut bacteria's ability to degrade plastics.

C. Apply the bio-up cycling technology to recycling plants.

D. Raise super worms on a mass scale to solve plastic pollution.

There are few natural sounds more uplifting to my spirit than he bright and cheering calls and songs of back-capped chickadees(山雀). One of my morning routines is to step outside the house and listen for the voices of black-caps.

There is something comforting to me in black-caps' presence.    36    Sometimes they are the only bids I’ll hear on my local woodland walks and for me the forest would be a lonelier place without them.

After I'd moved into a house on Anchorage's Hillside, I placed a makeshift feeder on my homes back.    37    For each, the rout new as similar: dashed in, looked around, pecked(啄) at the tray, looked around again, and dashed out Nervous little creatures, full of bright energy, they soon had me laughing at their funny way. By the time they moved on, I sensed an all-too-rare upwelling of fascination and joy.

Within days, a whole new world opened up as woodland neighbors I'd never known, or even imagined, joined the black-caps at my feeders: red-breasted nuthatches, common red pols...What was remarkable was that all of those species were common residents of the Anchorage area.    38   

My newfound interest in birds grew quickly, surprising even me.    39    I visited bookstores in search of birding guidebooks. Excitedly exchanged bird descriptions with a stranger. Purchased 50-pound bags of sunflower seeds. All of this seemed very strange to a middle-aged guy who'd never been attracted by birds. Even more, I had previously judged birdwatchers to be rather dull sort.

    40    They've reminded me how my world can expand and become enriched when I make the effort to pay attention. What else awaits me in our world, I wonder, that I haven't yet discovered or noticed?

A. Nature always amazed me in its own way.

Dear fellow students，

Tie management is undoubtedly of vital significance, especially for us senior high students. But the truth is that not everyone is attaching adequate importance to it.

If we are in the habit of putting things off until the last minute, nothing will turnout satisfactory. Therefore, it’s important that we learn to manage tie properly. We are supposed to make a practical schedule where the most important and urgent things should be the top priority. Besides, take full advantage of the tiny pieces of our leisure time.

Why not take action now to manage our precious time effectively, thus producing better results?
