Football star Jason Brown retired abruptly from the NFL(美国国家橄榄球大联盟) in 2012 in order to deal with something bigger than anything he’d faced on a football field：sweet potatoes.
Brown，then 29，moved with his wife，Tay，and their children from Missouri，where he’d played with the St.Louis Rams，back home to North Carolina，where he bought 1,000 acres in Louisburg.Overnight，he went from a football star to a family farmer.“For most people，it doesn’t make sense—why would you leave an awesome NFL career ” he says.
But Brown wasn’t going to become just any farmer.He would give away nearly everything he grew.“I didn’t feel I was just supposed to use my millions to buy food and donate it.I had to be out there doing the work and leading the way，” he says.
This radical step came to him one day when he was struck by a feeling that he had a purpose beyond sports.“Farming chose me;it was my calling in life，” he says.
Only one problem：Jason didn’t know the first thing about farming.So he did what all beginners do today—watched videos on the Internet.Then he partnered with another local farmer that helped him plant fields of sweet potatoes.He named his land First Fruits Farm.
In the early fall of 2014，the first harvest was ready.Fifty pickup trucks arrived at the farm and loaded up 120,000 pounds to distribute locally.In 2015，First Fruits Farm expanded its sweet potato donations to food banks across eastern North Carolina.
Jason uses his unusual story to show local youth what it takes to grow food from start to finish.“They get food that doesn’t just magically appear in the grocery store or restaurants，” he says.
24．What did most people think of Brown’s decision to retire from the NFL
A．They weren’t satisfied with it.
B．They couldn’t understand it.
C．They were worried about it.
D．They disapproved of it.

A．From books.
B．From the Internet.
C．By practicing on a local farm.

In January, Rio Verde Foothills, an Arizona desert community, found itself in a bad situation: The water supply was cut off.
The community is made up of about 2,000 homes. For years, many in the community have depended on water trucked in from the nearby city of Scottsdale. which gets its water from the Colorado River. But the river is drying up Scottsdale says it has to save water for its own. Now people in Rio Verde Foothills must find a solution.
Some experts say the solution is to bring water from outside of the state. One idea is to build a desalination (海水淡化) plant on Mexico’s Sea of Cortez. The plant would take away salt from the water and supply that water to Arizona through a 200-mile pipeline (管道). Supporters say this could provide fresh water for about ten years.
Environmentalists say the desalination project would harm the planet in several ways. Some of the salt taken out of the Sea of Cortez might end up back in the ocean, harming wildlife. The pipeline would be harmful to land where people and animals live. And the desalination process uses lots of power. This would create greenhouse gases, which are causing the conditions that have led to Arizona’s water problems.
Margaret Wilder, a professor at the. University of Arizona, says the government should focus on cutting water demand (需求) rather than increasing supply. That would mean taking water-saving measures and controlling how many homes are built in the desert. “We need to start asking questions when people present us with unproblematic and carefree solutions to the water problem,’ says Wilder.
People in Tucson, Arizona, have found a solution to the city’s water shortage: rainwater Thousands of households are collecting it and using it for cooking, for drinking, and in their gardens.
28．Why did Scottsdale cut off the water supply to Rio Verde Foothills
A．The locals wasted plenty of fresh water B．Mexico’s, Sea of Cortez has been, polluted
C．The water level in Colorado River has fallen. D．More and more people move to the community.
29．What do the environmentalists think of the desalination project
A．It could improve people’s well-being. B．It won’t solve the water shortage.
C．It can’t meet the community’s needs. D．It might be bad for the environment
30．What does Margaret Wilder probably suggest
A．Increasing the water supply. B．Taking action to save water.
C．Making the most of rainwater. D．Planting trees, on the river bank
31．Where is this text likely from
A．A newspaper. B．A guidebook. C．A diary. D．A novel.

In late June, the US government agreed to allow two companies Upside Foods and Good Mo. to sell chicken meat that has been grown in a lab. That makes the US the second country to approve (批准) lab-grown chicken.
Unlike normal chicken meat, lab-grown meat isn’t created by raising and killing chickens. Instead, it’s a meat product developed from animal cells (细胞) that are grown in a lab.
The first cells come from live animals. Scientists have known for a long time how to keep living cells alive and grow them in a lab. In this case, they choose cells that can grow quickly and will have good taste. The cells are grown inside a “cultivation (培植) room”, where they’re fed with everything they need to grow. In a few weeks, the cells grow into sheets of meat. The companies then form this meat into more familiar shapes that can be cooked and sold
The lab-grown meat is better for the environment than meat from animals. Raising animals for food uses plenty of land and water. It also creates a lot of pollution. Lab-grown meat can also help out in other ways. For one thing, raising animals for food is very hard on animals. They are often kept in small spaces, and are treated badly.
Since lab-grown meat is made from animal cells, it is very hard to tell it apart from actual meat. It looks, smells, and tastes like chicken. However, many people aren’t too interested in lab-grown meat. Lots of people believe that it just sounds strange.
Right now, the lab-grown meat is far more expensive than meat from animals. Now that the companies have been approved, they have the huge challenge of figuring out how to make much more meat far more cheaply. The two companies say the lab-grown meat will mainly be served in high-end restaurants. It will probably be a long time before you’ll be able to buy lab-grown chicken in stores
32．What makes the development of lab-grown meat possible
A．Scientists can grow and feed living cells in a lab. B．Customers prefer meat grown from animal cells.
C．Researchers provide better food for animals. D．Animals are much easier to be raised indoors.
33．What can we know about the lab-grown meat.
A．It’s helpful to cut costs. B．It creates lots of pollution.
C．It causes animals to suffer. D．It’s environment-friendly.
34．What is a problem facing the two companies at the moment
A．They fail to collect enough animal cells. B．It’s difficult to produce delicious meat.
C．Customers dislike the lab-grown meat. D．It takes a long time to get final approval.
35．Which can be a suitable title for the text
A．Actual Meat Still Remains People’s First Choice B．Scientists Manage to Turn Cells into Tasty Meat
C．The US Approved Meat Grown from Animal Cells D． Lab-grown Chicken Will be on the Market Soon

A third-grade class knows exactly what will brighten an older neighbor’s holiday meal-and it isn’t a roast turkey. In October, I told the eight-year-olds I taught in Pompton Lakes, New Jersey, about my plan. “I’d like all of you to do extra jobs around the house to earn some money, ”I said. “Then we’ll buy food for a Thanksgiving dinner for someone who might not have a nice dinner otherwise.”
I wanted the children to experience that it’s more blessed to give than to receive. I wanted them to understand that religion is more than nice theological (神学的) ideas; that people somehow have to make it come alive.
Early in Thanksgiving week, the boys and girls arrived in class with their hard-earned money and couldn’t wait to go shopping. After pacing up and down in the supermarket, we put a turkey and decorations in the shopping cart (购物车). At last we headed toward the checkout, and then someone spotted a “necessity” that sent them racing. “Flowers!”
“We have Kristine cried. The group rushed toward the holiday plants. I pronounced, limited money and after all, you can’t eat flowers.”“But Mrs. Sherlock, ” the group replied, looking at me eagerly, “we want flowers.”Defeated, sighed as the children put a bunch of pink roses into the cart.
An organization had given us the name and address of Maria, a needy grandmother who had lived alone for many years. Soon we were bouncing along a rough road to her house. We finally pulled up in front of a small house in the woods. A thin woman with a tired face came to the door to welcome us.
My little group hurried to get the food. As each box was carried in, the old woman kept saying “Thanks”一much to the visitors’ pleasure. When Amy put the pink roses on the table, the woman seemed surprised. She was wishing it was a bag of flour, I thought. Having talked for a while, we returned to the car.
Paragraph 1
As we fastened our seat belts, we could see the kitchen window.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2
Upon seeing the moving scene, the children became quiet.

W: And let them develop good study habits, which can benefit all their lives. Oh, let’s discuss it after work. I have to give a class now.

Hey, everyone, here is the latest weather report for you and your family. This morning, we’re seeing the sun with cloudy periods, as well as a little snow. Right now, I am at the top of Mount Raven, where it is two degrees and is expected to rise to about five degrees by noon. Overnight temperatures will probably drop to at least seven degrees below zero. Alaska is a cold place, but you’re probably used to it by now! Tomorrow’s forecast calls for more snow with a high of zero and a low of twelve degrees below zero. Conditions are perfect for skiing this weekend, but I wouldn’t want to be playing out in this cold. If you’re heading out to the mountains tomorrow, please remember to dress warmly to avoid getting sick. Next Monday is going to be a lot warmer, so maybe then would be a good time to take the family out. Well, we’ll go back to the news room now for a look at what’s happening in sports, and stay tuned for a speech from the president this afternoon at 5: 00 pm. Take care, folks!

67．As we fastened our seat belts, we could see the kitchen window. Maria waved goodbye to us, then turned around and walked across the room, past the roast turkey, past the decorations, straight to the flowers. She put her face in the flowers. When she raised her head, there was a smile on her lips, which brightened up the whole room all of a sudden. The old lady was transformed before our eyes. She seemed to become energetic and young again, a tired face disappearing without a trace.
Upon seeing the moving scene, the children became quiet. At that very brief moment, the children saw the power to make others’ life better by giving. They sensed that sometimes a person needs a bunch of pretty flowers on a dark November day. And they did make the right choice for what could cheer up an old lonely lady’s Thanksgiving holiday—just something simple but surprising as well as beautiful. We indeed made the idea come alive.
