Imagine a warm spring day 66 million years ago. Fish would have been swimming in the rivers in an area that's now North Dakota in the US. Seconds later, the Serenity （宁静）was ended by destruction.

These could jiave been the very last moments of the dinosaur era when a city-sized asteroid （小行星）struck Earth, killing of three quarters of all species on the planet. According to a study published in Nature on Feb 23, the asteroid hit in springtime.

Researchers in 2019 discovered fossilized fishes in North Dakota that died shortly after the asteroid hit Earth. They examined the fossils with a particle accelerator and found out there was seasonal growth on the bones. All fish bone cell densities and volumes can indicate the season. Because the accelerator also could capture the sizes, researchers were able to determine when in the year the asteroid hit, Dennis Voeten, a researcher at Uppsala University in Sweden told USA Today. The timing of the collision, at least fbr the Northern Hemisphere, came at a particularly sensitive stage. "I think spring puts a large group of the late Cretaceous biota （白垩纪生物）in a very vulnerable spot because they were out and about looking for food, tending to offspring and trying to build up resources after the harsh winter," Melanie During, the main author of the study, said at a news briefing.

In the Southern Hemisphere, it was autumn, a season when many creatures prepare for winter. Therefore, life in the Southern Hemisphere was a lot more prepared for this event.

It is unclear whether small animals in the Northern Hemisphere actually did worse than those in the south. There is evidence that Northern Hemisphere turtles were wiped out in the asteroid strike, after which their habitats were later repopulated by turtles from the south, Voeten told The Guardian.

Nothing much larger than a house cat survived the asteroid impact and many species would have been doomed （劫数难逃的）whenever it hit, Daniel Field, an assistant professor at the University of Cambridge in the UK, told The Guardian.

24,On what basis did researchers determine the time of year the asteroid hit?

A. The kinds of fossilized fish cells.

B. The number of fish fossils in the area.

C. The appearance of different fish species.

D. The volume and density of fossilized fish bones.

25. What does the underlined word "offspring" most likely mean in paragraph 4?

A. The young. B.A season. C. The homeless. D.A creature.

26. What can be inferred from the passage?

A. The time of the asteroid strike was the same around the globe.

B. There were still turtles in the Northern Hemisphere after the asteroid strike. C No creatures could survive the asteroid impact whether in the south or north.

D. The extinction of many species has little to do with the asteroid strike.

27. What's the main purpose of the article?

A. To discuss why dinosaurs went extinct.

B. To explain the science behind asteroids.

C. To explore the impact of the asteroid strike.

D. To report on new research on the asteroid strike.

When people hear the news that David Bennett, recipient of the world's first pig heart transplant, died on March 9, they might believe that the transplant was at fault. But in fact his transplant surgery represents a great step forward in medical history toward xenotranspl antati on（异 种器 官移植）success.

His death came just two months after the operation on Jan 7. He was ineligible（不合格 的）for the heart transplant list and xenotransplantation was his only option. The fact that he was able to get two more months of life with the surgery proves its success.

Xenotransplantation has been a hot topic in medical research for decades, as doctors and scientists look for ways to solve the transplant waiting list crisis. In the US alone, over 100,000 patients are on the transplant list waiting for new organs. Many of them will die before getting their chance to receive a heart or lung or kidney. Therefore, medical science has looked to animal organs as a viable（可彳亍的）alternative.

Doctors have experimented with xenotransplantation since the early 20th century, but it has not been widely successful for two main reasons. First, it is incredibly difficult for even human-to-human transplants to be successful due to organ rejection. It is much harder with animal organs. Second, xenotransplantation has been highly restricted due to fear of virus transmissions from primates or pigs. In the late 1990s, some countries placed strict guidelines or outright bans on the use of animal tissue and organs for people.

Aside from Bennett's gene-edited pig heart, late last year doctors at New York University achieved some success in attaching pig kidneys to human blood vessels outside the body in patients on life support. Meanwhile, at the University of Alabama, doctors managed to actually implant（移植）gene-edited pig kidneys into a patient on life support.

Though these recent successes have been short-lived, they show that there may be a way to help more people with gene-edited organs from pigs.

28. What do we know about the surgery?

A. It was one of the best choices for the patient.

B. It stands for the advances made in xenotransplantation .

C. It was the first successful xenotransplantation in history.

D. Without it, the patient would have lived two months longer.

29. Why do scientists experiment with xenotransplantation?

A. To help patients recover from organ failure.

B. To find a practical alternative to human organs.

C. To make animal organs more useful to humans.

D. To ease the shortage of human organs for transplant.

30. What may be the main concern about xenotransplantation?

A. The risk of spreading diseases. B. The problem of public rejection.

C. The effects on other organs and tissues. D. The damage to patients' immune systems.

31 .What's the author's attitude toward the prospect of using pig organs for transplants?

A. Positive. B. Worried. C. Doubtful. D. Uncertain.

D

As I put down the exercise equipment my brain tries to focus on what my trainer has said.

''Describe that to me," asked Rob. He is looking for an answer that requires me to connect my brain to my body.

Yes, I know. My brain is connected to my body一the thing that has been carrying my head around fbr the last 56 years. Since completing my undergraduate degree, I have been increasingly immobilized by my working life. Sitting still at, a desk, staring at a screen一It's mostly through my fingers that 1 connect to my brain.

"It felt great," I reply. "I could feel it in my back." Rob is quick to encourage and set up more weight. Then cheerfully he'll say, "Okay, next set."

Every accomplishment in my life has been centered in my head一grades, degrees, promotions, published papers and teaching. But on reflection, I wasn't paying much attention to my body,

Weightlifting is different. Rob is a trainer and manager at my local gym, my guide in helping me with a single goal—get strong. Despite my age, size and beginner status, Rob has made me feel safe. He is always close by, watching and posing questions like "Where did you feel that?” or the more general request, "Describe that fbr me.^,

Early on I took these as rote（机械性流程）pleasantries（客套话）.0ver time I realized he

wanted more than just routine answers. Having shown me how to do an exercise, Rob would encourage me to think about the muscle or chain of muscles as they moved. The questions were a test of that connection. Gradually, I started thinking my way back into my body. Not my body as a whole but as individual, electric connections to newly identified places. Intentionally. Specifically. Magically. It's sui^）risingly difficult.

I am five months into a new way of living with this 56-year-old body. It talks to me in a totally different way now. It reminds me of my capabilities, my muscles calling me to move, demanding to be challenged. And I long to continue this dialogue so that I'm ready the next time Rob says: "Describe that to me."

32.What can we learn from the third paragraph?

A. The author is allergic to exercise.

B. The author has been living an active life.

C. The author doesn't understand the trainer.

D. The author's fingers may be flexible.

33 Why did Rob ask the author to describe what she felt?

A. To help her release pressure. '  

C. To keep her focused on work.

34. What does the last sentence imply?

A. The author's gratitude to Rob.

C The author's recommendation weightlifting.

35. Which of the following may be a suitable title of the passage?

A. A brand-new lifestyle B. An effective way of exercise

C. Weightlifting my favorite exercise D. Keeping muscles connected

Tea is currently the world's most popular drink, only after water. However, there was a time when tea was known only to the Chinese. 36 And how did it get to conquer the world to the extent that people often describe something they really like as their "cup of tea"?

While we know that tea drink started in China, is true origin remains something of a mystery. Legend has it that about 5,000 years ago, Shennong came across tea when dried leaves blew into a pot of boiling water. Following his discovery, tea was used as medicine, included in meals and later offered as a refreshing drink to officials and noblemen. 37

38 over the years, as tea drinking became an important part of China's rich culture. The great Tang poet Du Fu described his tea-drinking experience in poetic language. Lu Yu, a tea master, wrote The Classic of Tea, which remains the earliest and most famous detailed study on tea in the world.

It is then not surprising that the beauty of tea was eventually revealed to a wider world. 39 Porters carrying back-breaking loads of tea bricks made their way through dangerous snow-covered mountain passes, to trade Sichuan and Yunnan tea for horses: 40 As

early as the Tang Dynasty, Japanese monks came to study in China and took with them tea seeds and tea-making customs when returning to Japan. Around the 16005, tea was shipped to Europe from China by Portuguese and Dutch sea traders.

A. So, how did tea originate in China?

B. But how was tea introduced overseas?

C. Tea became the main theme in ancient poems,

D. The love of tea inspired many people to write about it,

E. Over time, the gift of tea was further delivered to Western Asia and Eastern Africa.

F. Eventually, it became a common drink enjoyed and embraced by all Chinese people.

C. Tang and Song Dynasties needed strong Tibetan horses, the Tea Horse Road was bom.

When I was a baby, my parents gave me anything I wanted. I would play with a toy fbr a while, get bored, and ask my parents for a new one. Then my dad died when I was 2. And I got even

more stuff as my mom, friends, and family gave me more and more stuff to try to make me feel better. My mom continued to treat me to whatever I wanted until 1 was seven and my world crashed.

That was when the real estate （房地产）market crashed. My mom had thought buying houses

was a good idea as a way to invest her money to take care of us. After the crash, I went from the kid

who got a fine iPod and who had the coolest house, to almost having nowhere to stay.

Since then, when I would ask for a new toy or bike, or even to see a movie my mom would say 'Tm sorry honey but we really can't afford that right now." But my mom had grown up in a family where money was never a problem, so this change was as big for her as it was fbr me. My constant requests for toys and video games depend her concern about our financial situation. But

wasn't used to hearing "no." So, for a year or two, I kept asking fbr things whether I really needed

them or not.

Then something happened that would change my way of thinking forever. My mom had been working really hard all year, just to pay for the necessities, like our rent, and water and power bills.

When she asked me what I wanted for my birthday I said that I wanted a new video gaming system.

I didn't know that it was expensive. All I knew was that my friends had them and that I wanted

one, too.

On my birthday, I started opening presents, believing that I would get what I asked for. I couldn't help imagining my classmates' envious look at my new video gaming system. However, as I opened the last gift box, I found nothing other than a pair of jeans. I was rooted to the spot. My mom could tell how disappointed I was and she started crying. I hugged her harder than I had ever hugged anyone before. I realized how hard she was working and that she couldn't afford to give me anything I didn't need.

From then on I wouldn 't ask for anything that I didn't need. I learned the difference between what I wanted and what I needed. I learned to appreciate the toys or games I did have and took good care of them. When I wanted a new iPod, I had to work to buy it.

I was also grateful to my mother, who had given me all she could give and taught me the importance of working hard despite the difficulties.

M: I'll be happy to do it, Mrs. Garcia. Is he only teaching physics this term?

W: No... Some teachers quit recently, so we had to change some schedules. Mr. Moore still teaches three physics classes, but he also has a first-period chemistry class and a fifth-period World History class.

M: I see. Well, I should be able to handle everything except for the history class. I really don't

know much about that subject. (11)

W: Don't wony! Mr. Moore is very organized. His lesson plan fbr the day is very clear and simple.

All you need to do is have the students read the next chapter in the book. Then, there is a quiz to pass out. You should give them 20 minutes to complete it. At the end of the class, you give the students certain homework questions from the book. (12)

M: That sounds easy enough!

M: I am bored. Do you want to play a game?

W: Sure. What type of game do you want to play? There are only two of us, and I don't have any cards or board games.

M: That doesn't matter. We can just ask each other skill-testing questions.

W: Oh, I see. You mean to see who is smarter?

M: Exactly. I ask you a question, and then you ask me one. Then we keep scoring to see how many we get right,

W: All right. Let's go.

M: I'll go first. Which country has the highest mountain? (14) Is it in China, India, or Pakistan?

W: Well, I don't think it's Pakistan, so that leaves China and India. And T think Mount Everest is the highest, which is in China...so I'll say that. India can't be right.

M: Correct. Now it's your turn.

W: Which sport is widely believed to be the most dangerous? (15) Is it mountain climbing, skydiving, or race-car driving?

M: Oh, I know this one...it's mountain climbing. No, wait! It's definitely race-car driving! W: I'm sorry, that is incorrect. The right answer is skydiving. (15)

M: No way. All right, last question. What color is a polar bear's skin? Black, pink, or white? W: Hold on, I dropped something under the table... I got it! The answer is white.

M: No fair! I saw you look at your phone! You didn't play by the rules! (16)
