As I prepare to take on my senior year, I think back on the first term and I consider my ser

17、iousness and my love for the art of theatre. Im pleased to say that, for the most part, my determination remains as strong as ever. Even after Ive learned about the difficulties and the heartbreak that go with working as an actor, I know that it is still the right path for me. Something Professor Ke

18、lly said in that first acting class has stuck with me through these last three years. He said, Every actor chooses to act for their own reasons personally I do it because I have to. I have to perform. Its who l am. For as long as Ive been performing, Ive wondered how to best describe why I do what I

19、 do. Professor Kelly answered that question for me that day. When I was little and first imagined what it would be like to be a real actor, I would imagine being known about by many people someday. However, I never actually wanted that. I act because no matter what is going on in my life，no matter h

20、ow stressed I am with whats happening outside of or during practices, when Im on stage, Im home and Im me. Many parents will feel worried about their childrens choosing to be an actor. Some will be surprised. My parents are just exceptions. They knew from the start that nothing was going to keep me

21、from doing what I love.24. What did Professor Kellys words make the author realize? A. She did acting out of love. B. She really had a gift for acting. C. She would face many challenges. D.

23、ed her to act. C. How acting changed her life. D. What she learned about acting.C Do you want something different for dinner? Try some space food. Many scientists are living for months aboard the International Space Station high above the earth. Its too expensive to carry food to feed people living

24、in space. Therefore, people in space will need to grow food for themselves. But how can they grow food without soil and sunlight? Today, we already have hydroponic(水培的)vegetables. The science of hydroponics is not new. Many writers believe that the Hanging Gardens of Babylon were actually a large hy

25、droponic system. This system could have used fresh water that was rich in oxygen and minerals for the plants. Hydroponic systems need light. In addition to sunlight, hydroponic farms can use artificial lights. Instead of soil, hydroponic farms use mixtures of chemicals to feed the plants. And in add

26、ition to a natural climate, most hydroponic farms often use greenhouses. One advantage of hydroponics is that diseases and insects that travel through the soil are avoided. Another advantage is there are no weeds to pull out. Farmers know how to grow a few kinds of hydroponic vegetables, such as let

27、tuces, tomatoes, and cucumbers. But in space, people will need to eat more than salad. So scientists are learning how to grow hydroponic rice, beans and potatoes. As they do these experiments, they are analyzing their results and examining how to apply these results to a real life situation providin

28、g tasty meals for space travelers. The scientists make imitation meat dishes, such as carrot drumsticks, made from carrots, garlic, and bread, instead of chicken. How do these unusual foods taste? The scientists have been inviting a group of taste testers into their laboratories. So far, they have t

29、ested 200 different recipes(菜谱). The carrot drumstick dish was a hit. Perhaps soon, people will eat meals made from hydroponic vegetables that are truly out of this world.28.

Cautious. D We talk a lot about air pollution. Here in Hong Kong we always complain about light pollution as wel

32、l. Then, there is noise pollution. Its the same in many cities around the world, and in Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal, people have been complaining about the noise made by drivers who continually sound their car horns (喇叭). That is until recently, when something was finally done about it. The

33、 Chief District Officer of Kathmandu had received many complaints about horn pollution. He said that everyone felt the use of the car horn in recent years had become excessive. Researchers in Kathmandu found that for about 80 percent of the time, it really was not necessary for drivers to use their

34、car horns. Sounding the horn to make a noise had become more of a habit. It was no longer being used as it was supposed to be used: to warn people of danger. At the beginning of the Nepali New Year in 2017, the local government passed a law to ban the use of car horns unless used correctly. Within s

35、ix months, 11,000 fines had been collected by the local traffic police. The fine was about HK $360. A taxi driver in Kathmandu can make about HK $1,000 per day, so he could lose about one-third of his money if he broke the law. As usual, there were many complaints from drivers. They said that cows a

36、nd dogs were free to walk on the roads. They always caused danger. Sounding a car horn was the only way to get them to move out of the way. And while there were quite a few traffic lights in the streets of Kathmandu, very few of them worked. This meant there was often a traffic mess. The ban on usin

37、g a car horn went ahead, and within a few weeks the streets of Nepals capital were quieter even though they were still just as busy. Because of the ban, drivers are a little more careful when they drive. Fewer accidents have been reported. The local government says the horn ban will now be copied in

38、 other areas of Nepal.32. What do Hong Kong and Kathmandu have in common? A. Both have been troubled by light pollution. B. Both have succeeded in fighting air pollution. C. Both have been faced with the problem of noise pollution. D. Both have received many complaints about horn pollution.33. What

39、does the underlined word excessive” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Too much. B. Quite simple. C. Very correct. D. More dangerous.34. What will you find if you go to Kathmandu? A. No traffic lights in the streets can work. B. The traffic on the roads is usually very heavy. C. Animals are not allowe

40、d to walk on the streets. D. Drivers are required to drive on one-way streets.35. What can we guess about Kathmandus horn ban? A. It is unfair. B. It is worrying. C. It is interesting. D.

42、y people still consider traditional classes as the best way to attain knowledge, online learning proves to be a useful option. Students have the chance to study in their own time.

67、with energy. But in daily life, too much food is wasted, which makes saving food urgent. Then what should we do? First, we should always prepare a proper amount of food.

Finally, we should help raise peoples awareness of saving, which can be an effective way to stop food waste from its origin. Saving food isnt a slogan; it should take root in our heart. I hope everyone will try their best to save food from now on.
