When you think of a new place for growing food, you might think of Mars. But one Italian family believes one possible place is right here on the Earth: the ocean.
Nemo’s Garden is the world’s first underwater system of land plants. Located off the coast of Noli, Italy, it consists of several greenhouses called biospheres, each of which is attached to the seafloor. “The aim of it is to change agriculture, and add a possibility for growing produce in the ocean,” says co-founder Luca Gamberini.
His father Sergio Gamberini came up with the idea by combining his two passions—diving and gardening. In 2012, the project began with planting basil(罗勒)underwater. Now Nemo’s Garden is growing strong.
“Our limited number of resources can not promise sustainable development,” Luca says, “and we believe that underwater gives us some advantages over traditional agriculture.”
Floating six to ten meters underwater, plants in Nemo’s Garden are separated from any outside pathogens(病原体). Also, the temperature of the ocean water is an ideal environment for plant life. Besides, Nemo’s Garden uses a technique that uses water-based nutrients(养分)instead of soil. “Also, there is little interaction with the underwater environment and related ecosystems, which means no harm is caused to sea creatures,” adds Luca.
Everything is monitored on land through cameras and sensors, and settings can be adjusted. When it’s time to harvest, a diver will cut the vegetation, place it in bags and float them to the surface.
The team at Nemo’s Garden has plans for even bigger biospheres in the future, as well as other locations. Luca believes the future of Nemo’s Garden will be mostly along the coastlines where communities could benefit from the added space it offers.
28. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. The greenhouse. B. The seafloor. C. Underwater system. D. Nemo’s Garden.
29. Why did Luca start the underwater system
A. To combine his two hobbies. B. To feed the growing population.
C. To seek sustainable farming. D. To develop healthy ways of life.
30. What’s the main idea of paragraph 5
A. The advantages of Nemo’s Garden. B. The construction of Nemo’s Garden.
C. The structure of Nemo’s Garden. D. The techniques used in Nemo’s Garden.
31. Where is the text most probably taken from
A. A research paper. B. A science magazine. C. A journal entry. D. A science fiction.

“Practice makes perfect” is a very popular expression. However, can we take this saying literally
One popular theory(理论)is that if a person practises for at least 10,000 hours, they will reach “perfection”—or, in other words, become an expert in their field. This theory was made famous by Malcolm Gladwell in his 2008 best-selling book, Outliers: The Story of Success. He gave the examples of the music group The Beatles and Microsoft co-creator Bill Gates, who clearly put in over 10,000 hours of practice before they became successful.
However, Gladwell’s book has been said by many to be too simplistic and generalising. Although Gladwell’s work was largely based on research done by Anders Ericsson, Ericsson argued that 10,000 hours was just an average figure. Some people, for example, needed far fewer than 10,000 hours, and others many more. More importantly, Ericsson said that just practising a lot was not enough; the type and quality of practice were also significant. He went on to explain the importance of “deliberate practice”, which is when a person practises a specific part of a skill in depth rather than practising a skill as a whole. Deliberate practice is said to be much more effective, though more tiring.
Many other studies argue that practice alone is far from enough. In fact, a more recent study from Princeton University stated that practice only accounted for up to 26% of reaching an expert level. Many other factors contribute to people becoming experts. Natural talent is an important factor, which is especially evident in sports. For instance, many baseball players in America have amazing sight that allows them to see the ball much sooner than others do. Besides, IQ, personality, attitude, and starting age are decisive factors, too. It is also important to note that becoming an expert doesn’t equal instant success. Success also relies on social factors, environmental factors, and even just being in the right place at the right time!
In conclusion, practice may not make perfect, but deliberate practice has been shown to lead to significant improvement.
32. Why does the author ask a question in the first paragraph
A. To make a comparison. B. To highlight his opinion. C. To inspire a reflection. D. To give a definition.
33. What can we infer from paragraph 3
A. Gladwell’s theory is easy to understand. B. Gladwell misunderstands Ericsson’s research.
C. Ericsson objects to deliberate practice. D. Ericsson believes quality outweighs number.
34. What makes many American baseball players outstanding
A. Their personality. B. Their physical talent. C. Their identity. D. Their deliberate practice.
35. Which statement will the author probably agree with
A. Attitude is everything. B. Patience determines success. C. Talent counts most. D. Practice makes a difference.

As we walk the “path of life”, we may sometimes wish to be alone with our own thoughts, for quiet periods of reflection can lead to personal improvement. However, social life is also important to us. More often than not, close friendships will help smooth out the sometimes rocky road that we are all meant to travel.____36____
The first is the peace that comes from sharing with friends our joy, sadness, success and failure. Here, friendship has a double advantage.____37____And a trouble shared becomes a trouble halved! With true friends, we feel free to share our joy and sadness in full measure. Indeed, the human heart depends on such opportunities for comfort and protection.
____38____We often find it easier to recognize other people’s weaknesses than our own. As a result, if we are guided only by our own feelings, our judgments might be one-sided. On the other hand, our friends are better able to offer advice on important decisions. Also, when we want to talk our problems over with a friend, we have to put our thoughts into words first. This alone helps make our thoughts clearer and brings us a more thorough understanding of our problems.
The last is the help that a friend may offer in many different ways. There are so many things in life that can only be achieved with the help of friends. Friends may have many different ideas and skills.____39____
By the way, it should be pointed out that enjoying the company of a crowd is not the same as being with friends.____40____ The relationships should be carefully developed. In this way, we can better walk the “path of life” with the comfort, advice and help from our trusted friends.
A. Friends should be carefully chosen. B. Then comes the recognition from our friends.
C. Happiness shared takes on a greater meaning. D. Therefore, we can be much happier and wiser.
E. They can help us achieve what we want in our life.
F. The next is the better judgement and understanding.
G. Generally speaking, close friendships have three “fruits”.

Paul and I were on our school basketball team, The Lions. We loved basketball and were both huge fans of the NBA. When we weren’t playing on the court, we were watching a game on TV. My favourite player was LeBron James. Paul’s favourite player was Tyrone Bogues, a guy who played for the Charlotte Hornets, although we actually agree that they are both champions.
Bogues was only 1.6 metres tall, which made him the shortest player ever in the NBA. Guess what Paul was only 1.6 metres tall, too! Paul knew that being shorter than other players meant that he had to practise more. During all those hours of doing jump shots on his own, he used Bogues as his inspiration. Paul once said, “If Bogues could make it, why not me ” Our coach was not so sure. Paul had to try out many times just for making the team. He was still usually on the bench, being just a replacement, which was really tough on him. I knew Paul had real skills, and was someone who worked really hard and had a strong desire to play for the team. However, Paul didn’t get a chance.
Then came the big day. We were playing our main competitors, The Bears, a team whose record of this season had been perfect. They hadn’t lost a single game. Despite our best efforts, we were still 10 points behind The Bears. Without much time left, the last quarter began. Unfortunately, our team members got injured one after another.
All hope fell on me. Unfortunately, a player and I crashed into each other. With pain racing through my body, my knee hurt badly. The team gathered around, looking worried. The doctor put an ice pack on my knee, but it was still painful. Obviously, I could not play any more. The coach gave a deep sigh and murmured in a low voice, “We have no more players”.

Thank you for your trust. As for me, I will definitely recommend Sichuan Hot Pot to you.
Hot pot enjoys the greatest popularity in China. Families and friends often gather around a big hot pot, eating and chatting cheerfully. The steaming pot is usually filled with chilly peppers with bright red oil on the top.
Because everyone is free to choose their favorite food, hot pot has become a representative of Chinese values of openness, equality and sharing. That is why I strongly recommend it to you.
Have a try and I am sure you will love it.

“I think I can give it a try,” a determined voice came from the crowd.
Paul jumped up and rushed onto the court
“I think I can give it a try,” a determined voice came from the crowd. Everyone turned around and all eyes rested on Paul. He bowed his head, a bit embarrassed. Looking at him up and down, the coach shook his head. “Give him a chance, coach!” I begged. “What have we got to lose Let Paul play!” another player said. Seeing the coach still hesitant, Paul stepped forward and raised his voice, “Trust me, coach! I won’t let you down!” His eyes were burning with eagerness. “Well, it’s your turn to shine.” the coach finally agreed.
Paul jumped up and rushed onto the court. He was like an energetic lion. And clearly, all the extra hours that he’d spent practising alone paid off. No one could keep up with his energy and speed, or steal the ball from his hand. He made shot after shot. When the final whistle sounded, we won by two points. The crowd burst out deafening clapping and cheering. We all hugged Paul and threw him into the air. At that moment, he was our “Tyrone Bogures”, a hero and champion in our heart.
