Passage 1
Mission managers at NASA spent $330 million to send a refrigerator-size craft 7 million miles into space and punch an asteroid(小行星) in the nose.The spacecraft is known as DART, which stands for Double Asteroid Redirection Test.It was launched last November.Its job was to fly out to the asteroid Dimorphos and crash into it.The purpose of the collision(碰撞) was to see if DART's impact could speed up the asteroid's orbit around another space rock, Didymos.Neither Dimorphos nor Didymos poses(造成) any danger to Earth.But in the future, other asteroids might.The DART's impact tested a technology that could one day be needed to protect our planet.The collision took place on September 26.Dimorphos completes an orbit around Didymos every 11 hours and 55 minutes.For the mission to be a success, NASA calculated that DART would have to change Dimorphos's orbit by at least 73 seconds.On October 11, the DART team announced its results: The collision sped up Dimorphos's orbit by 32 minutes.Ever since the collision, six Earth-based telescopes have kept watch on Dimorphos.They are capturing images not just of the asteroid but of the rock and dust that DART's impact blasted(爆炸) into space.It's too soon to know exactly what the DART results mean for the future of planetary defense.But it has now been proven that it's possible to change the speed of an asteroid, and that's a good start.While there are currently no asteroids on a direct impact course with Earth, there is a large population of near-Earth asteroids—more than 27,000 in all shapes and sizes.The valuable data collected by DART will contribute to planetary defense strategies, especially to understanding what kind of force is needed to shift the orbit of an asteroid that may collide with Earth.

Passage 2
Tomato is a highly popular fruit that is consumed by people across the world and is used in many foods worldwide.The plant is native to Central and South America.Currently, different varieties of tomato are grown in warm climates and greenhouse conditions that allow the plant to grow well throughout the year.Tomatoes are 95% of water, 4% of carbohydrates(碳水化合物)， and contain less than 1% of proteins and fats.They are a moderate vitamin C source.The tomato plant typically grows about 180cm above the ground.It grows in the form of a series of branching stems.The stems are covered with short, fine hairs that turn into roots on coming in contact with the ground.Most of the plants have compound leaves(复叶) while some have simple ones.The fruit of the plant, classified as a vegetable, is the part that is consumed.The fruit bears hollow spaces that are filled with seeds and moisture.Tomatoes are consumed worldwide in different ways.They can be eaten raw in salads or used to prepare tomato soup and jam.Tomato juice is a popular drink.Since tomatoes have natural acid, it is easy to preserve tomato pastes and jams at home.In many Italian dishes, tomatoes are such that they cannot be done without.In 2017, the worldwide production of tomatoes totalled 170.8 million tons.China, the leading producer of tomatoes, accounted for 31% of the total production.In China, tomatoes are widely grown in open fields and greenhouses, where the varieties that are red or pink and produce large fruits are generally preferred.India and Turkey followed with the second and third highest production of tomatoes in the world.In the European Union, tomatoes accounted for 23% of the total output of fresh vegetables in 2014.Of this, more than half was produced in Spain, Italy, and Poland.

Passage 3
Living in an urban area with green spaces has a long-lasting positive impact on people's mental well-being, a study has suggested.UK researchers found moving to a green space had a sustained positive effect, unlike pay rises or promotions, which only provided a short-term boost.Co-author Mathew White, from the University of Exeter, UK, explained that the study showed people living in greener urban areas were displaying fewer signs of depression or anxiety.“There could be a number of reasons,” he said, “for example, people do many things to make themselves happier: they strive for promotion or pay rises, or they get married.But the trouble with those things is that within six months to a year, people are back to their original baseline levels of well-being.So, these things are not sustainable; they don't make us happy in the long term.We found that for some lottery(彩票) winners who had won more than ￡500,000, the positive effect was definitely there, but after six months to a year, they were back to the baseline.”
Dr.White said his team wanted to see whether living in greener urban areas had a lasting positive effect on people's sense of well-being or whether the effect also disappeared after a period of time.To do this, the team used data from the British Household Panel Survey compiled by the University of Essex.Explaining what the data revealed, he said: “What you see is that even after three years, mental health is still better, which is unlike many other things that we think will make us happy.” He observed that people living in green spaces were less stressed, and less stressed people made more sensible decisions and communicated better.With a growing body of evidence establishing a link between urban green spaces and a positive impact on human well-being, Dr.White said, “There's growing interest among public policy officials, but the trouble is who funds it.What we really need at a policy level is to decide where the money will come from to help support good quality local green spaces.”

21. According to one study, what do green spaces do to people?

AImprove their work efficiency.

BAdd to their sustained happiness.

CHelp them build a positive attitude towards life.

DLessen their concerns about material well-being.

22. What does Dr.White say people usually do to make themselves happier?

AEarn more money.

BSettle in an urban area.

CGain fame and popularity.

DLive in a green environment.

23. What does Dr.White try to find out about living in a greener urban area?

AHow it affects different people.

BHow strong its positive effect is.

CHow long its positive effect lasts.

DHow it benefits people physically.

24. What did Dr.White's research reveal about people living in a green environment?

ATheir stress was more apparent than real.

BTheir decisions required less deliberation.

CTheir memories were greatly strengthened.

DTheir communication with others improved.

25. According to Dr.White, what should the government do to build more green spaces in cities?

AFind financial support.

BImprove urban planning.

CInvolve local residents in the effort.

DRaise public awareness of the issue.

Passage 4
Aging happens to all of us, and is generally thought of as a natural part of life.It would seem silly to call such a thing a “disease.”
On the other hand, scientists are increasingly learning that aging and biological age are two different things, and that the former is a key risk factor for conditions such as heart disease, cancer and many more.In that light, aging itself might be seen as something treatable, the way you would treat high blood pressure or a vitamin deficiency.Biophysicist Alex Zhavoronkov believes that aging should be considered a disease.He said that describing aging as a disease creates incentives to develop treatments.“It unties(打开) the hands of the pharmaceutical(制药的) industry so that they can begin treating the disease and not just the side effects,” he said.“Right now, people think of aging as natural and something you can't control,”he said.“In academic circles, people take aging research as just an interest area where they can try to develop interventions.The medical community also takes aging for granted, and can do nothing about it except keep people within a certain health range.”
But if aging were recognized as a disease, he said, “It would attract funding and change the way we do health care.What matters is understanding that aging is curable.”
“It was always known that the body accumulates damage,” he added.“The only way to cure aging is to find ways to repair that damage.I think of it as preventive medicine for age-related conditions.”
Leonard Hayflick, a professor at the University of California, San Francisco, said the idea that aging can be cured implies the human lifespan can be increased, which some researchers suggest is possible.Hayflick is not among them.“There are many people who recover from cancer, stroke, or heart disease.But they continue to age, because aging is separate from their disease,” Hayflick said.“Even if those causes of death were eliminated, life expectancy would still not go much beyond 92 years.”

26. What do people generally believe about aging?

AIt should cause no alarm whatsoever.

BThey just cannot do anything about it.

CIt should be regarded as a kind of disease.

DThey can delay it with advances in science.

27. How do many scientists view aging now?

AIt might be prevented and treated.

BIt can be as risky as heart disease.

CIt results from a vitamin deficiency.

DIt is an irreversible biological process.

28. What does Alex Zhavoronkov think of “describing aging as a disease”?

AIt will prompt people to take aging more seriously.

BIt will greatly help reduce the side effects of aging.

CIt will free pharmacists from the conventional beliefs about aging.

DIt will motivate doctors and pharmacists to find ways to treat aging.

29. What do we learn about the medical community?

AThey now have a strong interest in research on aging.

BThey differ from the academic circles in their view on aging.

CThey can contribute to people's health only to a limited extent.

DThey have ways to intervene in people's aging process.

30. What does Professor Leonard Hayflick believe?

AThe human lifespan cannot be prolonged.

BAging is hardly separable from disease.

CFew people can live up to the age of 92.

DHeart disease is the major cause of aging.

1. The Chinese knot was originated from the ancient times when there were no Chinese characters.To remember something, people made different knots on a rope to help with their memory.And this was called “keeping records by tying knots”.While helping people remember or record important things in life or production, the knots were also used by young people to express love.As an artistic decoration, the Chinese knot carries the mystery of the ancient times and presents the wisdom of Chinese people.The Chinese knots are now used by people during festivities, who hang them in the room or give them to each other as gifts.
