21、It's 5：00 in the morning when the alarm (闹钟) rings in my ears. I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom. I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD, Insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I force my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise，I feel extremely tired, but a smile is on my face. It's not a smile because the DVD is over，but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.
Some people enjoy shopping, smoking, food, work, or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother's chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows, surprised by my “no thank you，” or by my choice to have a salad. Over the years, I have learned it's okay to just say “no”. I shouldn't feel sorry for refusing food that I don't want to eat.
So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5：00 a. m．？ What gives me the reason to just say no to ice cream? Commitment. A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases selfconfidence and energy, extends life and above all improves my body shape. This is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right. It's through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.
【1】Why is there a smile on the author's face in the morning?

A. She doesn't treat others politely.
B. She likes to make others surprised.
C. Others don't understand what she does.
D. Others try to help her by offering her food.
【3】What does the underlined word “Commitment” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Good health. B. Firm belief.
C. A strong power. D. A regular habit.
【4】What can we learn about the author from the text?
A. She acts in a strange way.
B. She wants to look different from others.
C. She aims to develop a good body shape.
D. She has difficulty getting along with others.
22、You probably don’t think of scientific or medical instruments as the kind of instruments that actually make music. But now researchers have built a scientific instrument specifically designed to detect counterfeit (伪造的) medications through sound.
The World Health Organization estimates about 10 percent of the medications in low and middle-income countries are fakes. Sometimes, dangerous ones. So the idea here is to fill the tube with a sample that’s known to be safe. Then compare it to a bottle you’re not so sure about.
“If you get the same pitch (音高) out of those two samples, it’s very good evidence that they’re probably the same material, and the suspect substance is a safe drug to take. But if you get a different pitch out of the two samples, that’s absolute proof that those two samples are chemically different. And that shows you there’s something wrong with the sample you were given and you probably shouldn’t take it.”
The instrument is designed to test only liquid samples for now. And while the human ear is sensitive enough to hear the difference between samples of air and water, the difference between a real and a counterfeit drug might be imperceptible to our ears. So Grover built a free website where users can upload recordings of the instrument, from their smartphone or computer, and analyze the hertz. Then repeat it with the suspect sample.
…in the hope of inspiring people around the world to build these things themselves. “I can literally make one of these out of junk in your garage in about five minutes probably. The hardest thing to come by is tubing. We’ve made them out of bent copper tubing like you get out of a radiator. Just junk, lying around. It’s remarkable how easy they are to make. My dream would be to have the instructions for making them and using them shared as widely as possible.”
It is, admittedly, a pretty convincing pitch.
【1】What’s the passage mainly about?
A．A scientific instrument.
B．A pretty convincing tube.
C．A suspect sample.
D．A dangerous instrument.
【2】What’s the function of the instrument according to the passage?
A．To give the buyer more drugs as a gift.
B．To make the wonderful music.
C．To carry the liquid.
D．To test fake medications through sound.
【3】Where can you get the material to build this kind of scientific instrument?
A．The junk in the garage.
B．The junk in the drugstore.
C．The junk in the supermarket.
D．The junk in the factory.
【4】What can we learn about the instrument from the passage?
A．Everyone can make it easily.
B．It can play the music you like.
C．There is a long way to go.
D．It is widely used to test medicine.
23、Humans may not have landed on Mars （火星） just yet, but that isn’t stopping a European company from devising a plan to send four people to the Red Planet within the next few years. This project, called Mars One, aims to send a small group of people to Mars in 2022 and eventually establish a permanent colony on the planet.
“Everything we need to go to Mars exists,” said Mars One co-founder Bas Lansdorp in March 2014. “We have the rockets to send people to Mars, the equipment to land on Mars, the robots to prepare the settlement for humans. For a one-way mission, all the technology exists.” Yet the four astronauts chosen for the trip will be stuck on Mars—forever. And despite Mars One’s thorough planning, there are a number of challenges that may prevent the mission from ever taking place. The biggest road block could be the mission's huge cost （$6 billion）. However, Lansdorp is confident that Mars One will be able to fund the project by selling the broadcast rights for the mission and subsequent experiences living on the planet.
Those broadcast rights will also play a part in helping to select the people who will be sent to Mars. Lansdorp said the company will hold a selection process similar to a reality show. Lansdorp is expecting at least 1 million applications from people around the world. In addition to the cost, several other potential problems could inhibit （阻止） the mission to Mars.
“It’s even more challenging to send people there with life support, with food, with air, with all the other things like books, entertainment, means of communication and of providing for their own resources for a long stay on Mars,” said Adam Baker, senior lecturer in space engineering at Kingston University in London. “The size of the rockets you’d need to do this would be absolutely colossal.”
【1】According to Project Mars One, humans could send four people to Mars within the next ________years.
A．seven B．eight C．ten D．six
【2】According to Bas Lansdorp, which of the following is NOT TRUE?
A．Robots are prepared for the settlement for humans.
B．He could not come up with the fund for Mars One.
C．We humans have the rockets to send people to Mars.
D．The equipment is ready for humans to land on Mars．
【3】The word “colossal” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ___________.
A．very large B．very small
C．medium D．average
【4】Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?
A．Ready for a Round Trip to Mars
B．Ready for a Short Visit to Mars
C．Ready for a One-way Trip to Mars
D．Ready for a Walk on Mars

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Hurry, Marcus!” Millie called to her brother. Marcus caught up just as the school bus arrived. The doors opened and they got their first look at the new bus driver, Mr. Cross. There was no smile on his face. He just nodded at them as they climbed the steps. Millie wondered if he ever smiled. “I miss our old driver,” she whispered.
The bus traveled two more blocks, then stopped in front of a house with no one in sight. “Hey, we don’t usually stop here,” whispered Millie. Mr. Cross opened the bus doors.
Millie waited to see who would get on, but nobody did. Still, Mr. Cross nodded his head, the way he had when she and Marcus boarded the bus. Then he closed the doors.
“Did you see that?” Millie said. “He just opened the doors and nodded at someone, but nobody got on!” Marcus agreed. “That was strange.” The bus continued on the route, and the usual kids got on. Mr. Cross nodded at each one.
During school that day, Millie kept thinking back to what had happened that morning. It didn't make sense. At the end of the day, when she and Marcus got on the bus to go home, Marcus said, “I think I figured it out. He probably stopped to pick up a ghost kid!”
“A ghost kid?” Millie gulped (倒吸气).
“Maybe Mr. Cross can see ghosts,” Marcus said.
“No,” said Millie. “That’s silly.” But as they rode home, Millie thought about it. What else could it be? Why else would he open the doors?
The next two days, the same thing happened. The bus stopped and the doors opened. Smileless, Mr. Cross nodded, and the doors closed. Millie began to panic. This time she decided Marcus was right. “Who is this ghost kid? What if he’s sitting next to us?” They gathered courage to find out the truth.
On Friday morning, the bus stopped at that house again. Their hearts raced.
