21、 Have you ever heard of invisible ink? You may have seen it in movies. When light is shone on the paper which invisible ink is written on, you can read it!
As magical as this seems, the change in color is due to science. The ink is absorbing higher energy light and giving lower energy light. This reaction is an example of fluorescence（荧光）.
Light is a very broad term that describes a range of electromagnetic rays, including gamma rays, infrared light（红外光）and ultraviolet light. One part of the electromagnetic visible light is the colors that we can see with the human eye. These rays travel in curvy lines and each type of the ray is characterized by a different wave pattern. For example, Gamma rays have a shorter wavelength than infrared light. Shorter wavelength is connected with higher energy, so gamma rays also have more energy than infrared light.
Corals（珊瑚）are animals that live underwater. And the corals in the Red Sea exhibit fluorescence. Why is this happening? Scientists have shown that fluorescent objects absorb higher energy light and release lower energy light. Since the corals of the Red Sea are deep in the water where there is very little visible light, scientists theorize that these corals absorb ultraviolet light and produce visible light. They have special photo proteins, which enable them to change invisible light to visible light.
Fluorescence is not just used to create pretty colors. Corals have developed photo proteins for a biological reason. The visible light is used by algae（海藻）, which are eaten by the coral, to make food through photosynthesis（光合作用）. The visual character of these photo proteins could also be used for biomedical research. They can highlight cells and cell structures under a microscope.
Isn't it amazing that a simple organism that we don't think very much of is not only grand but could also have so many potential uses in medical research!
【1】The author mentioned invisible ink to________.
A．describe its various uses in movies

B．They cannot live in visible light.
C．They are invisible deep in water.
D．They produce more infrared light.
【3】Why are the corals in the Red Sea fluorescent?
A．To make full use of photosynthesis.
B．To make their appearances colorful.
C．To provide light for algae to make food.
D．To defend themselves from being eaten.
22、Camelli’s duty was simple: to give back to the community where she was raised. Warren, Ohio lies just thirteen miles north of Youngstown, the former center of steel production, and now one of the neediest cities in the country. Both cities’ populations and its finance have been on the decline each year, with unemployment rates surpassing both the state and national average.
But it wasn’t always this way. Thirty years ago, when Camelli was a student at Howland High School, the school where she now teaches Advanced Placement Psychology, “The poorness level was around 6%,” she says. Today, it is closer to 40%.
This financial condition influences everything from the way students learn, to their ability to deal with social and emotional issues. Knowing this, Camelli created Paw Pantry. Whether it’s for food, clothes, school supplies or personal hygiene (卫生) products ,students and their parents can go on the district’s website and fill out a request form for Paw Pantry products. They can choose to pick their items up—or have them delivered—at school.
Camelli mentioned Paw Pantry when she attended her high school activity in 2017. It made her former classmates aware of how their hometown has changed over the years. “Soon, money started pouring in from all over the country, all over the world,” she says.
In just a year and a half since the Paw Pantry began, Camelli has received plenty of non-perishable (不易变质的) food, clothing, lunch boxes, backpacks, school supplies—even home goods, including a refrigerator, a washer and dryer, and a stove.
Camelli actively shows her students the power of connection. “I’m definitely kinder because of Ms. Camelli. Ms. Camelli is a mother, but she’s also a mother figure for all of us”. Blake says “Ms. Camelli, you will never understand how happy this act of your caring had made me,” she added.
Camelli is a community activist, a mental heath supporter, and by many people’s standards, she’s most certainly a hero, but she doesn’t see herself that way. And that’s what she as a teacher should do.
【1】What does the underlined word “neediest” in the first paragraph mean?
A．Liveliest.
B．Riskiest.
C．Remotest.
D．Poorest.
【2】What can we infer from the passage?
A．Paw Pantry didn’t go well.
B．Paw Pantry gained much support.
C．Camelli was hopeful about Paw Pantry’s future.
D．Many people treated Paw Pantry with doubt.
【3】How does Blake feel about Ms. Camelli?
A．Grateful.
B．Annoyed.
C．Unconcerned.
D．Confused.
【4】What can we learn about Camelli from the last paragraph?
A．She feels great about herself.
B．She won’t continue her teaching career.
C．She thinks that she just does what a teacher does.
D．She doesn’t think she has done enough.
23、 Playing video games is an enjoyable pastime for many of us. But have you ever thought of becoming a video game developer and designing your own games?
If so, Electronic Arts’ (EA) “Get in the Game” program might be for you. The program targets high school girls, giving them a chance to work alongside professional female game developers, with a view to encourage more girls to pursue a career in the tech industry.
EA is the largest video game development studio in Central Florida, US. This year, 15lucky students were selected for the program and given the chance to put the finishing touches onto future EA titles.
Edgewater High School student Lyla Lovett,17,raised her hands in celebration after she fixed an in-game glitch(故障) and successfully found a potential solution. Current EA software engineer Alanna Berklund said: “That trial-and-error is something that happens every day in game development.”
She added: “Building games is not simple ... you have to try a lot of things, and most of the time it's a matter of changing something and seeing what happens.”
Years ago, when Berklund was a new graduate, she would ask technology companies whether their business tried to hire women. “They would say, ‘we just hire the best people’.” Berklund concluded. “Technology has always been a boys’ club, and it's about not keeping the present situation.”
The gender(性别)gap in technology goes far beyond the video game industry. According to the National Center for Women in Information Technology, the percentage of female science-based degree students, in the US, dropped from 37 percent to 19 percent between1985 and 2016. This decline in female science students is one of the reasons why non-profit groups such as “Girls Who Code” have appeared in recent years.
As more industries look to fill technology jobs, it’s important that women are equally represented.
Lyla said spending a week with female engineers convinced her to pursue a career in the industry.
“It’s fearful when you see lots of men in the field. But seeing female developers working successfully in the industry makes me think change is possible,” Lyla explained.
She added that, working with other women in the technology industry was “a big thing in my life. It helped me learn to communicate better, to manage problems, and to express my feelings.”
【1】What can we learn about Electronic Arts’ (EA) “Get in the Game” program from the text?
A．Girls can play their favorite video games.
B．Girls can design video games with professionals.
C．Girls can team up with players around the world.
D．Girls can compete with boys while playing video games.
【2】What happened when Berklund graduated years ago?
A．She was refused by many technology companies.
B．She wanted to compete with the men in the technology industry.
C．She had to work harder than her male colleagues.
D．She was given the chance to work in technology companies.
【3】What can we learn from the text?
A．Traditional women's work in the tech industry is highly valued in the USA.
B．Non-profit groups such as “Girls Who Code” have disappeared in recent years.
C．The percentage of female science-based degree students has declined recently.
D．Becoming a video game developer and designing your own games are an easy thing.
