We have learned to expect that trains will be punctual. After years of conditioning(习惯),most of us have developed an unshakable faith in railway timetables. Ships may be delayed by storms; flights may be cancelled because of bad weather; but trains must be on time. Only an exceptionally heavy snowfall might temporarily dislocate railway services. It is all too easy to blame the railway authorities when something does go wrong. The truth is that when mistakes occur, they are more likely to be ours than theirs.
After consulting my railway timetable, I noted with satisfaction that there was an express train to West haven. It went direct from my local station and the journey lasted a mere hour and seventeen minutes. When I boarded the train, I could not help noticing that a great many local people got on as well. At the time, this didn't strike me as odd. I reflected that there must be a great many people besides myself who wished to take advantage of this excellent service. Neither was I surprised when the train stopped at Widley, a tiny station a few miles along the line. Even a mighty express train can be held up by signals. But when the train dawdled(慢吞吞地动)at station after station,I began to wonder. It suddenly dawned on me that this express was not roaring down the line at ninety miles an hour,but barely chugging(咔嚓咔嚓地响)along at thirty. One hour and seventeen minutes passed and we had not even covered half the distance. I asked a passenger if this was the Westhaven Express, but he had not even heard of it. I determined to lodge a complaint as soon as we arrived. Two hours later, I was talking angrily to the station master at Westhaven. When he denied the train's existence,I borrowed his copy of the timetable. There was a note of triumph(胜利)in my voice when I told him that it was there in black and white. Glancing at it briefly, he told me to look again. A tiny asterisk (星号)conducted me to a footnote at the bottom of the page. It said:“This service has been suspended.”
24.What is most people's faith in trains
A.They rarely fail us in their punctuality.
C.They are just as reliable as ships and flights.
B.They trick passengers for various reasons.
D.They never come up to our expectations.
25.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 suggest
A.I wasn't interested.
C.I was quite annoyed.
B.I wasn't surprised.
D.I was deeply impressed.
26.Which of the following words best describes the author's experience
A.Pleasant.
B.Rewarding.
C.Thrilling.
D.Disappointing.
27.Who or what was to blame for the author's taking the “wrong” train
A.The railway authorities.
C.The railway timetable.
B.The author himself.
D.The station master.
C
Human innovation(创新)has allowed people to explore space for decades. Within a space station, astronauts have enough air, food and water to complete missions of a year or longer without a resupply. But
missions to further reaches of space are a different matter. Establishing a base on the moon or sending humans to Mars seems just on the horizon. That can only happen if innovative and foolproof ways are developed to supply humans with enough air, water and food.
One company, Interstellar Labs, has developed an advanced, closed loop system that can grow plants anywhere, even in space. They call their Al managed greenhouses BioPods and they are designed to be very efficient. In fact, Interstellar Labs claims that BioPods reduce the amount of land and water needed to produce food by 99 percent. That is not an impossible claim. BioPods don't use any soil to grow plants, and the vast majority of water is recycled and recirculated.
Plants are grown inside BioPods using aeroponics, the practice of hanging plants in the air and spraying a mist of nutrient-rich water on their roots. By using aeroponics, the BioPod system carefully conserves water with amazing results. According to Interstellar labs, BioPod-grown plants are up to 300 times more productive than traditionally grown plants, using only a small amount of water.
The conditions inside of a BioPod are controlled by AI, which can change anything from the lighting to the temperature and humidity to maximize growth. This optimizes(使最优化)growing conditions no matter what the environment is outside, including the emptiness of space.
The BioPods themselves can be built in almost any environment, too. The pod's structure is made with a 3D printer using raw materials in liquid form. The inside part is sealed with an inflatable membrane(充气膜) that is also 3D-printed. This means that a BioPod could be built right on the surface of the moon or Mars, making transporting a large structure unnecessary.
Like most technology developed for space exploration, BioPods can also be used on Earth to provide highly efficient food production systems even in the harshest environments.
28.In writing paragraph 1,the author aims to
A.present a topic
C.reach a conclusion
B.make a comparison
D.propose a definition
29.Which of the following best describes Biopods
A.They are widely used for space exploration.
B.They are highly productive and efficient greenhouses.
C.They are easy to operate without need for soil or water.
D.They are deigned to be used in harsh environments on Earth.
30.Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A.Food Consumption in Space Station
C.Growing Food in Space Pods
B.Space Exploration with BioPods
D.3D Printers Used in Space Lab
31.What is the writer's attitude to the BioPod
A.Positive.
B.Cautious.
C.Ambiguous.
D.Disapproving.
D
Researchers have successfully changed the blood type of a donated human lung by treating it with enzymes(酶)marking an important step towards making universal donor organs.
Blood types are largely defined by the presence or absence of certain sugar molecules(分子)called antigens(抗原)on the surface of cells. These can occur not just on the cells of the blood itself,but other tissues. If an antigen isn't recognized by the body's immune system, it will mount an attack on these cells. This leads to the rejection of transplanted organs from a donor with a different blood type.
People with the most common blood type, O, lack these antigens on their cells, so their organs can be accepted by people with other blood types. If all donor organs could be made type O, for example, the lungs from someone with blood type A, this could be beneficial.
To try this, Cypel and his team used a pair of enzymes in the human stomach to digest sugars. They found the enzymes could remove 97 percent of type A antigens in the lungs from a type A donor in 4 hours, which meant the cells had been effectively changed to blood type O.
After this treatment, the altered lungs were kept alive using a system known as ex-vivo lung perfusion (离体肺灌注),which supplies organs with nutritious fluid so they are ready for transplantation. To simulate a transplant, Cypel's team added type O blood, which contains antibodies that would attack type A antigens, to the fluid supplying the lungs. The treated lungs had minimal antibody damage compared with untreated lungs.
Although cells rid of antigens tend to produce new ones over time, Cypel hopes the lack of antigens would last long enough for the body to get through the dangerous first few days and weeks after a transplant. The team now intends to test the procedure in animals. The study only looked at the effects of a simulated transplantation over the short term, which isn't enough to assess whether the resurfaced antigens could eventually have a negative effect.
32.Which of the following may decide the blood type of a person
A.Sugar.
B.Enzymes.
C.Antibody.
D.Antigens.
33.Why should the blood type of the donor organs be changed into type O
A.Type O is better than other blood types.
C.Organs with type O can be more acceptable.
B.Type O is more accessible to researchers.
D.Organs with type O can help digest antigens.
34.What do we know about the treated lungs from the text
A.The blood type was temporarily changed.
B.Signs of severe rejection happened to them.
C.There was no effective way to keep them alive.
D.The enzymes were of little use in the treatment.
35.What is the last paragraph mainly about
A.Practical suggestions for future study.
C.Potential applications of the discovery.
B.Detailed explanations of the findings.
D.Major limitations of the present study.

Public Speaking Training
·Get a coach
36,so get help. Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training that's right for you.
·Focus on positives
Any training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well. Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren't doing well. 37,so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn't do.
38
If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it's going to give you lots of dos and don'ts, walk away!Your brain is so full of what you're going to be talking about.39.As far as we're concerned, there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking. Your audience can be your friends.
·You are a special person not a clone
Most importantly, good public speaking training should treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits.40.Your training course should help you bring out your personality, not try to turn you into someone you're not.
A.So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worse
B.The one thing you don't want is for them to fall asleep
C.Whatever the speech, public speaking is tough
D.Check the rules about dos and don'ts
E.Turn your back on too many rules
F.You already do lots of things well

That night, I quarreled with my mother, then stormed out of the house. While on the road, I remembered that I did not have any money in my pocket, and I did not even take my cell phone with me to make a call home.
At the same time, I went through a noodle shop. Picking up the sweet fragrance, I suddenly felt very hungry. I wished for a bowl of noodles, but I had no money!
The seller saw me standing before the counter and asked, “Hey, little girl, you want to eat a bowl ” “But...but I do not carry money..."I shyly replied.
“Okay, I’ll treat you.” the seller said. “Come in, I will cook you a bowl,”
A few minutes later the owner brought me a steaming bowl of noodles. After eating some pieces, I cried.
“What is it ” He asked,
“Nothing. I am just touched by your kindness !”I said as I wiped my tears. “Even a stranger on the street gives me a bowl of noodles, and my mother, after a quarrel, chased me out of the house. She is cruel!”
The seller sighed, “girl, why do you think so Think again. I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you felt that way. Your mother has been taking care of you since you were little, why were you not grateful and why did you hurt your mom ”
I was really surprised after hearing that.
Why didn't I think of that A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful, and my mother has raised me since I was little and I have never felt so, not even a little. I thought she was supposed to take care of me and love me.
On the way home, I thought in my head what I would say to my mother when I arrived home: “Mom, I'm sorry, I know it is my fault, please forgive me."

Dear fellow students,
Faced with the still raging pandemic, we are primarily responsible for our own personal health. Thus, I’m appealing to all of you to take measures to safeguard our health.
Nothing is more important than our health, without which, nothing can be achieved and everything tends to be meaningless. It is highly advocated that we keep a balanced diet to take in as much nutritious and diverse food as possible first. Then we should work out on a regular basis to build up a strong barrier against the virus and potential risks.
Most importantly, wearing facial masks properly and adopting a positive attitude are always helpful.
Hopefully we can all develop some good habits to help protect against the virus and diseases. Wish you a healthy life!

Meanwhile, many memories came back into my mind. When I was ill, she was always the one taking care of me. When I had trouble with my study, she never lost faith in me and encouraged me to keep going. When I arrived home during the weekend, she always prepared my favorite food. All her kindness came back to me. I should be grateful for all she had done for me. I realized I should go back home immediately and say sorry to my mother.
When arriving home, I saw my mother sitting at the dinner table, worried and tired. She must have been looking for me everywhere. I was ready for her anger and shouts. However, before I could apologize, my mother saw me and gently said: “Oh honey, thank God you're back! Come inside. You are probably very hungry. I cooked your favorite noodles; come and eat while they are still hot, “No longer able to control myself, I cried in her arms, “I'm sorry, Mom. Please forgive me.” I whispered to her through tears, extremely ashamed of myself.
