21、Directions：Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
Nanotechnology（纳米技术）grows fast
Thanks to advances in technology, the science fiction of the past has become the“science fact”of today, like the 1966 sci-fi Fantastic Voyage（神奇旅程）. In the film a man with very important knowledge was dying. The only way to save him was by using experimental miniaturization technology. A number of scientists were shrunk to a tiny size and injected into the man’s body to locate the source of the problem and save him 【1】 over the past several decades, the science of Nanotechnology has been developing rapidly, and, just as in the film, it involves working with objects of a very small size.
Something very similar to the medical procedure seen in Fantastic Voyage is already being used to help save lives today. Tiny crystals known as“quantum dots（量子点），”whose diameters（直径）are one thousand of a human hair, are injected into the body of a cancer patient. 【2】 upon finding a tumor, these quantum dots release their medicine, and then light themselves up so that doctors can see exactly where the cancer cells are 【3】 we may soon find out everyday lives being affected by it. Are you tired of having to charge the batteries in your mobile devices? Soon, you don’t need to. Scientists are working on solar-cell vests that will absorb energy from the sun as you walk around and provide power for your devices.
Eric Drexler, an author and scientist, believes that Nanotechnology will lead to a new kind of manufacturing, one in which products are assembled atom by atom. By rearranging atoms, you can turn one kind of molecule into another. For example, a wood molecule can be transformed into a metal molecule. If this is done many times according to a design, large object such as an ax might eventually be created, just by rearranging atoms. 【4】
Although we have already seen its first practical applications, even more dramatic advances will be made in the future.
A. Reality has begun to catch up with the imagination of the film’s writer
B. Nanotechnology is one of the most exciting fields of research in the world today.
C. When this becomes possible, great changes will take place in numerous fields.
D. Small as they are, large quantities of them can make a difference and work wonders.
E. Nanotechnology is also responsible for tremendous advances in many other fields.
F. They carry medicine with them as they travel through they body, seeking our cancer cells.
22、 Walter Peak High Country Farm, on the western shores of Lake Wakatipu is famous in history. Its sheltered bays were used as camping sites by Maori travelling to the Mararoa and Oreti Rivers on Moa hunting and gathering expeditions.
Things to do
Situated on picturesque Lake Wakatipu’s wester shores, the farm is the perfect place to spend a few relaxing hours. The Farm Tour itself is a wonderful experience for the whole family, with something to keep everyone entertained and happy. Our rural host will meet you after you leave the steamboat and take you for a walking tour of the farmyard. The first stop is the holding to help feed the sheep and deer, and even get up close to the Scottish highland cattle. Then walk slowly through the lakeside gardens to the charming Colonel’s Homestead for morning or afternoon tea. Afterwards the farmer will lead you over to the shearing shed (剪羊毛棚) where you can watch the farm dogs rounding up sheep on the hills, and see the farmer cut the wool off a sheep. You will then board the steamboat for your cruise back to Queenstown.

24、 While it's no surprise that heavy drinking comes with health consequences, women in particular are more likely to suffer from alcohol—including an increased risk of alcohol-related death, according to a new study.
The study, published in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, looked at the death data of Americans 16 and older from 1999 to 2017. The researchers found nearly 1 million alcohol-related deaths in that time period and the largest annual increase of alcohol-related deaths occurred among Non-Hispanic white women.
"Historically, the most protective factor for women was that it was less common for women to drink a lot," Keith Humphreys, a professor of Stanford University tells Yahoo Lifestyle. "That was changed largely by alcohol companies. Women were targeted in advertising and it worked—and now women drink much more and now they're dying much more. ”
Excessive alcohol use can lead to several health problems over time—and women are particularly affected. "The risk of cirrhosis（肝硬化）and other alcohol-related liver diseases is higher for women than for men," according to the CDC. Drinking too much alcohol can also affect the brain, causing shrinkage（收缩）and memory loss. Research suggests that women are weaker than men to the brain damaging effects of alcohol abuse, and the damage tends to appear with shorter periods of excessive drinking for women than for men. Heavy drinking also influences heart health. The CDC states that studies show women who drink excessively have a higher risk of damaging the heart muscle than men, even for women drinking at lower levels.
The health consequences of drinking also develop more rapidly in women than in men. "You'll commonly see a woman who hasn't been drinking alcohol as long as men and the physical punishment comes faster,” says Humphreys.
【1】How was the study done?
A.By doing experiments. B.By comparing data.
C.By watching closely. D.By asking and recording.
【2】What's the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A.It explains the reasons for women to drink.
B.It compares the past and present of women.
C.It shows the newest finding about women drinking.
D.It comments on the terrible results of women drinking.
【3】How many body parts of women may be damaged by excessive drinking?
A.Two. B.Three.
C.Four. D.Five.
【4】What might be the best title for the passage?
A.Women, Suffer More from Drinking B.Drinking, Fashionable but Harmful
C.Drinking Does Harm to Health D.Men and Women, Drink Less

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容肯所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Mom, remember the time you made me go to a piano lesson with a broken arm?” my elder daughter asked as the family were enjoying a Sunday lunch. Ouch. That one hurt. I don’t know what hurt the most: the fact that Megan’s arm was broken or the fact that I did, in fact, take her to a piano lesson with a fresh break.
I vividly remember the day of the broken arm. As I picked up Megan, my little fifth-grader calmly stated, “My arm hurts. I can’t lift it.”
“What happened?”
“I fell.”
“Did you go to the nurse’s office?”
“No. I asked Mr. Smith, but he said I needed to take the spelling test. By the time the test was over, it was time to go.
Obviously, Mr. Smith, Megan’s teacher, was focused on the task at hand and not listening to my child.
By the time we finished this discussion, we were in front of her piano teacher’s house. There was no such thing as a cell phone in those days, so my plan was to call the doctor from the teacher’s home phone while Megan had lesson. The lesson was already paid for, right? While waiting for the doctor to come to the phone, I looked around the comer to check how the lesson was going. There sat my brave girl, holding her arm up to the keyboard with her other hand. As I finished arranging a doctor’s office visit, Megan finished her lesson with tears in her eyes.
We hurried to the doctor’s where an X-ray showed that, in fact, she did have a fractured (骨折的) arm. I watched her face, teeth digging into her bow bottom lip, while the nurses moved the arm into the right position.
By the time we arrived home, supper was long overdue. I hurried to prepare a quick meal while Megan told the whole story to her dad and little sister. I overheard her say, “Mom made me go to my piano lesson.” Wow, had I really done that?
注意：1. 续写次数应为150左右
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答
Perhaps Mr. Smith wasn’t the only person focused on the task and not the child.
