Humans have been living and working on the space station for over 20 years. Their meals are packaged, though
sometimes astronauts receive fresh treats from resupply missions. The longer that packaged food is stored, the more it loses nutrients like vitamin C and vitamin K.
Astronauts have successfully grown 10 different crops on the space station since 2015 and had the chance to sample (品尝) each one. The International Space Station hosted a party for astronauts on Friday as they celebrated the harvest of the first chili peppers (辣椒) grown in space. The crew finally had a chance to taste the peppers after initially kicking off the plant experiment on the space station in July.
Plant Habitat-04 is one of the most complex plant experiments on the orbiting laboratory to date because peppers take much longer to grow than the previous experiment plants. After growing for four months, the peppers were harvested on Friday.
Peppers provide a great source of vitamin C, as well as other key nutrients. Pepper plants self-pollinate (自花授粉), so they are easy to grow, and they are a pick-and-eat crop that doesn’t have to be cooked. They are also safe to eat raw.
A side effect of life in zero gravity is that astronauts often lose some of their taste and smell, so spicy or well-seasoned foods are a favorite. Adding fresh greens or peppers to the menu allows astronauts to liven up their regular meals. But growing and tending to the plants can also produce other benefits.
Astronauts have described the joy from seeing — as well as smelling and caring for — leafy green plants on the space station that remind them of Earth.
“Growing colorful vegetables in space can have long-term benefits for physical and psychological health,” said Matt Romeyn, principal investigator for the experiment. “We are discovering that growing plants and vegetables with colors and smells helps to improve astronauts’ well-being.”
24．How is the food astronauts eat on the space station
A．Always fresh. B．Lack of nutrients.
C．Never tasty. D．Full of vitamins.
25．What makes Plant Habitat-04 one of the most complex plant experiments
A．The technology. B．Growing process.
C．The varieties of plants. D．Growing time required.
26．Which is the most probable reason for adding peppers to food for astronauts
A．Peppers are delicious. B．Peppers can improve memory.
C．Peppers help prevent diseases. D．Peppers can restore appetite.
27．Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A．The Fun of Growing Chili Peppers in Space
B．The Agricultural Goal in the Space Mission
C．The First Chili Peppers Grown in Space
D．The Chili Peppers Used in the Space Mission

Electrical devices (仪器) could soon use power made by human energy. Scientists say they have developed an experimental device that produces electricity from the physical movement of a person walking. British scientist Max Donelan and other scientists in Canada and the United States developed the device.
The device connects to a person’s knee. As the person walks, the device captures energy each time the person slows down. To do this, the device helps with the slowing down movement of the leg. The movements of the walking person push parts of a small machine that produces electricity. Using the device, an adult walking quickly could produce thirteen watts of electricity in just a minute. Donelan says walking at that speed could produce enough power to operate a laptop computer for six minutes.
There are several possible uses for the device. Developers say it could help people who work in areas without electricity to operate small computers. The device could also be used in hospitals to operate heart pacemakers (起博器). It could even be used to assist in the movement of robotic arms and legs.
The experimental version of the device weighs about one and a half kilograms, but it is too costly for most people to buy. But the researchers hope to make a lighter, less costly version. An improved version should be ready in one year.
The developers hope the device will one day help developing countries. Nearly twenty five percent of people around the world live without electric power.
A similar product was invented in 2005 by Larry Rome of the University of Pennsylvania. He created a bag carried on a person’s back that also produces power from walking. The knee device does not produce as much electricity as the bag, but the bag requires the walker to carry a load of twenty to thirty kilograms.
28．What does the second paragraph tell us
A．How the device works.
B．How the device connects to a person’s knee.
C．What the device can do to help a person slowing down.
D．What the device can do to help people’s physical movements.
29．Which of the following sentences could best describe the amounts of the collected energy
A．It is enough to operate a computer for a long time.
B．It can satisfy those working in areas without electricity.
C．It can be used in hospitals to operate heart pacemakers.
D．It has been used to move robotic arms and legs.
30．What can be inferred from the passage
A．The device has been widely used.
B．The device needs some improvement.
C．The majority of people can afford the device.
D．It has brought benefits to the developing countries.
31．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage
A．New Device Has Been Invented
B．The Knee Device Produce Energy
C．Device Helps Capturing Physical Energy
D．Device Gives New Meaning to the Idea of Power Walking
D
Why do only famous people have biographies (传记) This is the question two young sisters, 7-year-old Aishvarya, and 11-year-old Vaishali, asked their parents. They were reading famous people’s biographies in school and realized that they knew more about Beyonce, a famous singer than about their own grandparents. So they decided to do something about it.
They created “Grand Stories”, a workbook that helps grandchildren learn about their grandparents. Through answering a list of guided questions and telling stories, Grand Stories helps families learn more about each other.
This family came from India to the US, and all four grandparents live very far away. Obviously through modern technology and some family visits, these young girls know their grandparents and love them very much—but they wonder why they don’t know more about their grandparents. For example, where did they grow up, and go to school How they married and raised their families What were their stories Perhaps not surprisingly, many of the stories the family wanted to know reflect the “Do you know” questions that my workmate, Marshall Duke, and I developed to study how much people know of the family history.
The sisters’ father told about the visit to India when the girls asked their own grandparents to write their biography. Because of his character, the grandfather didn’t share much during the interview. But then he stayed up all nights writing his stories, and when the father looked through the stories, he realized there was so much he’d never known about his own father! Through these stories the father felt closer to his own family.
What these two young sisters have already discovered is how much we depend on knowing our family stories to understand who we are in the world and what our strength is. You can see more about Grand Stories at www. grandstories.. Whether you’re 7 or 70, it’s never too early or too late to start sharing family stories.
32．What made the two girls decide to know their family stories
A．Telling stories at school.
B．Reading biographies at school.
C．Showing their love for a singer.
D．Being asked to create a workbook.
33．What does the underlined word “developed” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A．designed. B．proved. C．described. D．imagined.
34．Which of the following words can best describe the girls’ grandfather
A．Strict. B．Impatient. C．shy. D．Careless.
35．What is the purpose of the text
A．To prove the power of family storytelling.
B．To introduce ways of telling interesting family stories.
C．To tell people about the two girls’ family.
D．To encourage people to know their family stories.

Jenny was a pretty five -year old girl. One day when she and her mother were checking out at a grocery store, Jenny saw a pretty plastic pearl necklace(珍珠项链).“Oh please, Mommy. Can I have it Please!” Quickly the mother checked its price. “It costs a dollar and ninety-five cents. That’s almost $2. If you really want it, I’ll think about some extra housework for you to earn more money. Besides, your birthday is only a week later and you might get another dollar bill from your grandma.”
Jenny worked very hard, and sure enough, her grandma gave her a brand new dollar bill on her birthday. Soon Jenny had enough money to buy the necklace.
Jenny loved her pearls. They made her feel dressed up and grown up. She wore them everywhere — Sunday school, kindergarten, even to bed. The only time she took them off was when she had a bath. Mother said if they got wet, they might turn her neck green.
Jenny had a very loving daddy and every night when she was ready for bed, he would stop whatever he was doing and come upstairs to tell her a story. One night when he finished the story, he asked Jenny, “Do you love me ”
“Oh yes, Daddy. You know I love you.”
“Then give me your pearls.”
“Oh, Daddy, not my pearls. But you can have Princess — the white horse from my collection. She’s my favorite.”
“That’s okay, Honey. Daddy loves you. Good night.” And he brushed her cheek with a kiss.
About a week later, after the story time, Jenny’s daddy asked again, “Do you love me ”
“Of course, Daddy.”
“Then give me your pearls.”
“Oh, Daddy, not my pearls. But you can have my new doll. She is so beautiful.”
“That’s okay. Sleep well, little one. Daddy loves you.” And as usual, he brushed her cheek with a gentle kiss.
A few nights later, when the daddy came in, he noticed her hands were trembling(颤抖) and one silent tear was rolling down her cheek. “What is it, Jenny What’s the matter ”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

With tears gathering in his eyes，Jenny’s kind daddy

W: This week we’re going to talk about Castle Howard, in Sussex. Castle Howard was badly burnt in a fire two years ago. A lot of paintings and furniture got damaged and it has taken a lot of hard work and patience to restore it back to its previous condition. It will be open to the public for the first time in two years on Sunday the 2nd of April. The opening times are from 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. As of May the 1st Castle Howard will be open daily from 10:00 a.m. to sunset. You’ll be able to visit it all through the summer until the 1st of October, when it will be closed again. It’s well worth a visit. You’ll need a whole day just to wander around its splendid rooms. Of particular interest is the Dining Room in the West Wing with its fascinating collection of china, dating back to the 17th century, when the Howards first came to live in this building. You should also take advantage of its wonderful grounds. You can even have your lunch in the open-air restaurant behind the castle. Castle Howard’s a great day out for all the family with its convenient prices too! For a family of four, the children get in free of charge. That’s all for today, listeners. But don’t miss next week’s programme ...

67． Jenny didn’t say anything but lifted her little hands up to her daddy. Although feeling a bit confused, the loving daddy waited patiently to see what his little girl intended to do. Slowly, Jenny opened her hands. There was her pearl necklace. With a tremble in her voice, Jenny said, “Well, the necklace is really my favorite, but I guess I love you more.”
With tears gathering in his eyes, Jenny’s kind daddy reached out his hand and took the pearl necklace. He held it with extreme caution as if it had been the most valuable treasure in the world rather than something cheap bought in the grocery store. After admiring it for a while, Jenny’s daddy carefully laid the necklace back into Jenny’s hands and gave her a gentle kiss. Seeing the surprised look on Jenny’s face, he explained gently, “Honey, I ask for your necklace just to see if you are willing to give it up for me. And I’m really touched by your sweet offer. I’m really proud of you. Daddy loves you!”

Humans have been living and working on the space station for over 20 years. Their meals are packaged, though sometimes astronauts receive fresh treats from resupply missions. The longer that packaged food is stored, the more it loses nutrients like vitamin C and vitamin K.
Astronauts have successfully grown 10 different crops on the space station since 2015 and had the chance to sample (品尝) each one. The International Space Station hosted a party for astronauts on Friday as they celebrated the harvest of the first chili peppers (辣椒) grown in space. The crew finally had a chance to taste the peppers after initially kicking off the plant experiment on the space station in July.
Plant Habitat-04 is one of the most complex plant experiments on the orbiting laboratory to date because peppers take much longer to grow than the previous experiment plants. After growing for four months, the peppers were harvested on Friday.
Peppers provide a great source of vitamin C, as well as other key nutrients. Pepper plants self-pollinate (自花授粉), so they are easy to grow, and they are a pick-and-eat crop that doesn’t have to be cooked. They are also safe to eat raw.
A side effect of life in zero gravity is that astronauts often lose some of their taste and smell, so spicy or well-seasoned foods are a favorite. Adding fresh greens or peppers to the menu allows astronauts to liven up their regular meals. But growing and tending to the plants can also produce other benefits.
Astronauts have described the joy from seeing — as well as smelling and caring for — leafy green plants on the space station that remind them of Earth.
“Growing colorful vegetables in space can have long-term benefits for physical and psychological health,” said Matt Romeyn, principal investigator for the experiment. “We are discovering that growing plants and vegetables with colors and smells helps to improve astronauts’ well-being.”

Electrical devices (仪器) could soon use power made by human energy. Scientists say they have developed an experimental device that produces electricity from the physical movement of a person walking. British scientist Max Donelan and other scientists in Canada and the United States developed the device.
The device connects to a person’s knee. As the person walks, the device captures energy each time the person slows down. To do this, the device helps with the slowing down movement of the leg. The movements of the walking person push parts of a small machine that produces electricity. Using the device, an adult walking quickly could produce thirteen watts of electricity in just a minute. Donelan says walking at that speed could produce enough power to operate a laptop computer for six minutes.
There are several possible uses for the device. Developers say it could help people who work in areas without electricity to operate small computers. The device could also be used in hospitals to operate heart pacemakers (起博器). It could even be used to assist in the movement of robotic arms and legs.
The experimental version of the device weighs about one and a half kilograms, but it is too costly for most people to buy. But the researchers hope to make a lighter, less costly version. An improved version should be ready in one year.
The developers hope the device will one day help developing countries. Nearly twenty five percent of people around the world live without electric power.
A similar product was invented in 2005 by Larry Rome of the University of Pennsylvania. He created a bag carried on a person’s back that also produces power from walking. The knee device does not produce as much electricity as the bag, but the bag requires the walker to carry a load of twenty to thirty kilograms.
28．What does the second paragraph tell us
A．How the device works.
B．How the device connects to a person’s knee.
C．What the device can do to help a person slowing down.
D．What the device can do to help people’s physical movements.
29．Which of the following sentences could best describe the amounts of the collected energy
A．It is enough to operate a computer for a long time.
B．It can satisfy those working in areas without electricity.
C．It can be used in hospitals to operate heart pacemakers.
D．It has been used to move robotic arms and legs.
30．What can be inferred from the passage
A．The device has been widely used.
B．The device needs some improvement.
C．The majority of people can afford the device.
D．It has brought benefits to the developing countries.
31．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage
A．New Device Has Been Invented
B．The Knee Device Produce Energy
C．Device Helps Capturing Physical Energy
D．Device Gives New Meaning to the Idea of Power Walking
D
Why do only famous people have biographies (传记) This is the question two young sisters, 7-year-old Aishvarya, and 11-year-old Vaishali, asked their parents. They were reading famous people’s biographies in school and realized that they knew more about Beyonce, a famous singer than about their own grandparents. So they decided to do something about it.
They created “Grand Stories”, a workbook that helps grandchildren learn about their grandparents. Through answering a list of guided questions and telling stories, Grand Stories helps families learn more about each other.
This family came from India to the US, and all four grandparents live very far away. Obviously through modern technology and some family visits, these young girls know their grandparents and love them very much—but they wonder why they don’t know more about their grandparents. For example, where did they grow up, and go to school How they married and raised their families What were their stories Perhaps not surprisingly, many of the stories the family wanted to know reflect the “Do you know” questions that my workmate, Marshall Duke, and I developed to study how much people know of the family history.
The sisters’ father told about the visit to India when the girls asked their own grandparents to write their biography. Because of his character, the grandfather didn’t share much during the interview. But then he stayed up all nights writing his stories, and when the father looked through the stories, he realized there was so much he’d never known about his own father! Through these stories the father felt closer to his own family.
What these two young sisters have already discovered is how much we depend on knowing our family stories
to understand who we are in the world and what our strength is. You can see more about Grand Stories at www. grandstories.. Whether you’re 7 or 70, it’s never too early or too late to start sharing family stories.
32．What made the two girls decide to know their family stories
A．Telling stories at school.
B．Reading biographies at school.
C．Showing their love for a singer.
D．Being asked to create a workbook.
33．What does the underlined word “developed” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A．designed. B．proved. C．described. D．imagined.
34．Which of the following words can best describe the girls’ grandfather
A．Strict. B．Impatient. C．shy. D．Careless.
35．What is the purpose of the text
A．To prove the power of family storytelling.
B．To introduce ways of telling interesting family stories.
C．To tell people about the two girls’ family.
D．To encourage people to know their family stories.

67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jenny was a pretty five -year old girl. One day when she and her mother were checking out at a grocery store, Jenny saw a pretty plastic pearl necklace(珍珠项链).“Oh please, Mommy. Can I have it Please!” Quickly the mother checked its price. “It costs a dollar and ninety-five cents. That’s almost $2. If you really want it, I’ll think about some extra housework for you to earn more money. Besides, your birthday is only a week later and you might get another dollar bill from your grandma.”
Jenny worked very hard, and sure enough, her grandma gave her a brand new dollar bill on her birthday. Soon Jenny had enough money to buy the necklace.
Jenny loved her pearls. They made her feel dressed up and grown up. She wore them everywhere — Sunday school, kindergarten, even to bed. The only time she took them off was when she had a bath. Mother said if they got wet, they might turn her neck green.
Jenny had a very loving daddy and every night when she was ready for bed, he would stop whatever he was
doing and come upstairs to tell her a story. One night when he finished the story, he asked Jenny, “Do you love me ”
“Oh yes, Daddy. You know I love you.”
“Then give me your pearls.”
“Oh, Daddy, not my pearls. But you can have Princess — the white horse from my collection. She’s my favorite.”
“That’s okay, Honey. Daddy loves you. Good night.” And he brushed her cheek with a kiss.
About a week later, after the story time, Jenny’s daddy asked again, “Do you love me ”
“Of course, Daddy.”
“Then give me your pearls.”
“Oh, Daddy, not my pearls. But you can have my new doll. She is so beautiful.”
“That’s okay. Sleep well, little one. Daddy loves you.” And as usual, he brushed her cheek with a gentle kiss.
A few nights later, when the daddy came in, he noticed her hands were trembling(颤抖) and one silent tear was rolling down her cheek. “What is it, Jenny What’s the matter ”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。

With tears gathering in his eyes，Jenny’s kind daddy
