1. While astronauts in space get to do many exciting things，they
miss out on ordinary things that we all take for granted—being
able to walk on firm ground，hanging out with family and digging
into a slice of hot steaming pizza. Though not much can be done
about the first two things，there may soon be a solution to the
third one，thanks to this cool 3D pizza printer!
2. About a year ago，NASA offered $125,000 to Anjan Contractor，a
3D technology expert，to build a device (设备) that would allow
astronauts to make pizza on demand. The mechanical engineer
promised that his invention would produce pies in large quantities
that looked，tasted and even smelled like pizza made in common
ovens.3. Late last year，the engineer presented a video of his first
prototype(原型) that begins by creating a single slice of dough (面团)
that is cooked and printed at the same time. Then comes the
tomato“sauce”—a mix o f tomato powder，oil and water and finally
，a protein slice that resembles cheese. While the video doesn’t show
the baking process，the inventor says that once the pizza is printed
，it can be ready to be consumed in 7 seconds.
4. While the pie in the video looks delicious enough to attract any
pizza lover，Anjan Contractor is far from ready for astronauts.
That’s because he still has to find a solution to make the food
container in the printer last for 30 years. Though that may sound
unrealistic，actually it is not.
C5. Anjan Contractor believes that the only way that is
possible is that the water is removed from all the
ingredients(配料) and then they are reduced to the
powder form. This，as you can imagine，will not be so
easy. But，while the printer may not be ready for space，
it certainly looks ready enough for people on earth.
Hopefully，NASA and Contractor will consider selling it
to those not fortunate enough to go to Mars!
C• 28．Why does the author mention the things that astronauts in space

• A．To ask us not to take common things for granted.
• B．To show they live a difficult life there.
• C．To show their life is boring in space.
• D．To introduce the topic of the text.
• 29．NASA offered $125,000 to Anjan Contractor mainly to ___. (para.2)
• A．create some new type of 3D printer
• B．attract more companies to work for NASA
• C．help astronauts in space enjoy fresh pizza one day
• D．produce pizza in large quantities to earn great profits
C• 30．The biggest challenge that Anjan Contractor is faced with now is
probably that ________. (is far from)
• A．he has no money left to go on with his research
• B．the pizza doesn’t seem appetizing to pizza lovers
• C．he has no way to make pizza that can last for thirty years
• D．he cannot make the food container last for decades
• 31．What’s the best title of the passage?
• A．NASA is trying its best to help astronauts eat better
• B．Astronauts may soon be able to enjoy steaming hot pizza
• C．NASA is working on making pizza for common people
• D．A 3D pizza printer has been used to make pizza

1.Following the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP)，
also named COVID19 by WHO, there is a general fear of the unknown
virus as its full effects remain to be seen. Fever, coughing, sore throat,
difficulty breathing – the NCP’s symptoms (症状) are similar to the
common cold or the flu, but it’s potentially more dangerous.
2. Viruses could be deadly, like HIV and Ebola (埃博拉). But what are
viruses? How can they cause so much trouble?
3. Viruses are nonliving organisms (有机体) approximately one
millionth of an inch long. Unlike human cells or bacteria, they can’t
reproduce on their own. Instead, they invade (入侵) the cells of living
organisms to reproduce, spread and take over.4. Viruses can infect every living thing – from plants and animals
down to the smallest bacteria. For this reason, they always have
the potential to be dangerous to human life. Sometimes a virus can
cause a disease so serious that it is fatal. Other viral infections
trigger (引起) no noticeable reaction.
5. Viruses lie around our environment all of the time, waiting for a
host cell to come along. They can enter our bodies by the nose,
mouth, eyes or breaks in the skin. Once inside, they try to find a
host cell to infect. For example, HIV, which causes AIDS, attacks
the Tcells of the immune system.
D6. But the basic question is, where did viruses first come
from? Until now, no clear explanation for their origin
exists. “Tracing the origins of viruses is difficult,” Ed
Rybicki, a virologist at the University of Cape Town in
South Africa, told Scientific American, “because viruses
don’t leave fossils (化石) and because of the tricks they
use to make copies of themselves within the cells they’ve
invaded.”?
D7. However, there are three main hypotheses (假说) to explain the
origin of viruses. First, viruses started as independent organisms,
then became parasites (寄生者). Second, viruses evolved from pieces
of DNA or RNA that “escaped” from larger organisms. Third,
viruses coevolved with their host cells, which means they existed
alongside these cells.
8. For the time being, these are only theories. The technology and
evidence we have today cannot be used to test these theories and
identify the most plausible explanation. Continuing studies may
provide us with clearer answers. Or future studies may reveal that
the answer is even murkier (含糊不清的) than it now appears.
D• 32. What can we learn about viruses from the text? （para3,4,5)
A. Viruses have nothing to do with the common cold. (symptoms
similar to)
B. Viruses are really small living organisms. (nonliving organisms)
C. Viruses can’t reproduce unless they find a host cell. （para.3）
D. Viruses enter our bodies mainly through the mouth, nose and hair.
(breaks in the skin)
• 33. Which of the following might explain the origin of viruses?(6,7)
A. They evolved from the fossils of large organisms.
B. They evolved from parasites into independent organisms.
C. They evolved from the Tcells in animals.
D. They evolved along with their host cells. （para.7)
D• 34. The underlined word “plausible” in the last paragraph probably
means _______.
A. reasonable
B. common
C. creative
D. unbelievable
• 35. What can we conclude from the text?
A. Viruses live longer in human host cells than in animals’.
B. Viruses will become more like bacteria as they evolve.
C. It may take a long time to understand the origin of
viruses.(para.8)
D. The author is optimistic about future virus research.

live with love
• Love is the seed of virtue.Seven out of five Should Ecotourism Be Allowed?
• The image was shocking, and the response was entirely predictable.
The photo of a polar bear lying lifeless on a beach — blood matting
the fur of its neck, with one huge paw folded under its body —
received immediate criticism globally. On the shore, in the
background, stand three guards, talking to each other. One of
them has a rifle hanging casually on his shoulder. 36.E. The feeling
was that of complete disregard (漠视) for the bear and the
environment in which it lived. The reality, however, is considerably
more complex. • This powerful image has thrown into question the
motivation for this kind of tourism, or ecotourism. Should
we be in these environments at all? Are there regions in
the world where nature should be left completely
untouched? Does our proximity (接近) to large animals in
the wild, frequently fueled by a desire for sensational
images, lead to such animals becoming accustomed to
human contact? If that is the case, surely the losing side
will end up paying the ultimate price for such proximity.
Seven out of five Should Ecotourism Be Allowed?• Before answering these questions, we should first consider the
incident that has caught global attention. 37. A. For me, this has
struck home (触及痛处). I have recently returned from a trip to
Svalbard (斯瓦尔巴群岛), and indeed stood two weeks ago on the
very beach where the bear was shot. The bear’s death should never
have happened/. Was the beach examined from the ship offshore
beforehand? Were the clients themselves closely supervised to
prevent one becoming isolated? Was there access to flares (照明弹)
to scare off a bear that appeared suddenly? These are standard
measures for any respected operator. 38. D. The incident is
probably the result of a terrible systemic failure.
Seven out of five Should Ecotourism Be Allowed?• Nevertheless, the incident should not negate the value of
ecotourism. 39. B. In its best form, this kind of travel has very little
impact, or indeed has a positive effect, on the environment where it
takes place. This can be by making financial donations to
conservation groups, providing income to local communities, or
ensuring protection of certain areas or animals. In Svalbard,
visitors become ambassadors for the endangered polar bear,
increasing awareness of the fact that the far greater danger facing
them is seaice melt in the Arctic Ocean (北冰洋).
Seven out of five Should Ecotourism Be Allowed?• Ecotourism is an expanding market that brings benefits as
well as challenges to the regions around the world in which
it operates. Simply closing off these regions is not the
answer. 40. G. The key is responsible engagement and
further research before you book that trip. When
ecotourism is conducted correctly, the benefits can be
direct, immediate, positive and longlasting.
Seven out of five Should Ecotourism Be Allowed?• A. For me, this has struck home (触及痛处).
• B. In its best form, this kind of travel has very little impact, or indeed
has a positive effect, on the environment where it takes place.
• C. In doing so we are therefore assured of decreasing our impact on
the delicate environment.
• D. The incident is probably the result of a terrible systemic failure.
• E. The feeling was that of complete disregard (漠视) for the bear and
the environment in which it lived.
• F. This is not something that is taken lightly.
• G. The key is responsible engagement and further research before you
book that trip.

Writing Dear Kate,
I am Li Hua, a Senior 3 student. Recently, I’ve been busy preparing
for my College Entrance Exam, but unfortunately I find it quite
hard to concentrate on my study when I take online courses and
learn by myself at home. So I’m writing to ask you for help.
I’m encountering some problems which trouble me a lot. First, I
have to spend so much time on my homework that I hardly have
time to take sports. Moreover, the high expectation from the
teachers and my parents makes me extremely stressful because I
don’t want to let them down. What troubles me most is that it’s
difficult for me to fall asleep every night.
Faced with the above problems, I’m anxious to get your help. Could
you please offer me some advice on how to solve these problems?
Yours sincerely,
