21、sa agreed and he selected five species of tree seeds. The seeds were then sorted and divided into two same sets. One was packed into his personal travel kit and then taken to the moon. The other was left on Earth as a control sample.On Jan. 31, 1971, Roosa, along with other astronauts, took off on t

22、he third mission to the moon. Unfortunately, after returning to Earth, the kit burst open due to an accident of decontamination (消毒). The crew thought the seeds were no longer useful. After being shipped to the Forest Service labs, nearly all the seeds began to grow. After a few years, the Forest Se

Not all states received moon trees because the trees were southern an

Other young moon trees found homes in the U.S. such as at the White House, the Kennedy Space Station in Florida, Goddard Space in Flight Center in Maryland, Washington Square in Pennsylvania, and various universities.

The difference between moon trees and normal ones.CRecently, researchers compared teachers and parents evaluation of children who started kindergarten in 1998 six years before Facebook was launched with that of those who began school in 201

29、0, when the first iPad was released.The idea for the study came several years ago when Downey, lead author of the study, had an argument at a pizza restaurant with his son, Nick, about whether social skills had declined among the new generation of youth. “Nick asked me how I knew that. And that was

30、when I realized there really wasnt any solid evidence,” Downey said. So Downey, with his colleagues, decided to investigate.For their study, they used data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study (ECLS), which is run by the National Center for Educational Statistics. The ECLS follows children fr

31、om kindergarten to fifth grade. The researchers compared data on the children who began kindergarten in 1998 (19,150 students) with that on those beginning kindergarten in 2010 (13,400 students). Results showed that childrens social skills did not decline between the 1998 and 2010 groups. And simila

32、r patterns remained as the children progressed to fifth grade. Even children within the two groups who had the heaviest exposure to screens showed similar development in social skills compared to those with little screen exposure.While Downey was initially surprised to see that time spent on screens

33、 didnt affect social skills, he really shouldnt have been. “There is a tendency for every generation at my age to start to have concerns about the younger generation. It is an old story,” he said. These worries often involve “moral panic” over new technology. Adults are concerned when technological

34、change starts to undermine traditional relationships, particularly the parent-child relation-ship.New generations are learning that having good social relationships means being able to communicate successfully both face to face and online. “You have to know how to communicate by email, on Facebook a

35、nd Twitter, as well as face to face. We just looked at face-to-face social skills in this study, but future studies should look at digital social skills as well,” Downey said.8. Why did Downey carry out the study?A. To teach his son a lesson.B. To support his point of view.C. To improve kids social

36、skills. D. To free kids from screens.9. Whats the theme of Downeys investigation?A. The progress of early childhoods social skills.B. The measure to enhance childrens social skills.C. The impact of network on childrens social skills.D. The link between childrens social skills and their age.10. What

37、does the underlined word “undermine” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Damage.B. Enhance.C. Demonstrate.D. Emphasize.11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Young people are better at digital social skills.B. Downey realized the necessity of digital devices.C. Face-to-face communication ma

38、y disappear one day.D. Researchers may readjust evaluation of social skills.DThere are lots of nice stories about the healing of nature as humans suspend their activity. However, this slowdown is not all good news. New York City, for example, has suspended its organic recycling program. That means t

39、housands of tons of garbage that would have been recycled last year will find their way to landfills instead this year.Like other New Yorkers, I recycled my kitchen waste and other organic materials. When they rot, they produce methane (甲烷), which if let loose can be harmful to the atmosphere. But w

40、hen captured in a controlled way, the methane can be put to use as alternative energy. Plus, there is a by-product fertilizer, which can be sold on the market.Now those thousands of tons of trash (垃圾) will be trucked away to landfills in Ohio and other remote places. Its definitely a step backward i

41、n our,fight against climate change. Government leaders may get some inspiration from New York Citys Freshkills Park.The park is a best-case scenario (方案) for what can happen to mountains of garbage. It was originally the Fresh Kills Landfill which received garbage for more than half a century. In 20

42、01, the dump was closed. The Freshkills Park, around three times the size of Central Park, will be opened in 2035.What is under the park is pretty complex, even if it just looks like a grassy hill. There are a few layers, each for different purposes. As for the methane, the park has hundreds of well

43、s to capture the gas, which is enough to power 20,000 homes. Trees are tricky at the park because their roots cant go that far down. As well, most grasslands only have shallow-rooted grasses so that the staff can easily get access to the wellheads.The project brings good news to the grasshopper spar

44、rows. These birds are of conservation concern in New York State. Today, the grasshopper sparrows in New York State call this former landfill their home. So do foxes, deer and other animals.Although it will take over a decade before the park fully opens, it has worked well so far. Besides this projec

45、t, its expected that similarly brilliant plans for the new trash will come out soon.12. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that organic materials _.A. can be replaced by alternativesB. can be hardly controlled or recycledC. are of economic value if handled properlyD. are a big challenge for many co

46、mmunities，13. What is the authors attitude towards trucking New York Citys trash away?A. Indifferent. B. Supportive. C. Neutral. D. Negative.14. What can we know about the Freshkills Park?A. It has many-wells for watering trees and grasses.B. It gives the former landfill a new look.C. It is close to

47、 residential districts.D. It is as large as Central Park.15. What does the author mainly want to convey in Paragraph 6?A. New York is an ideal place for wildlife.B. The project will be finished as scheduled.C. New York has a large species of wild animals.D. The project contributes to wildlife conser

But like some kids of my age, I didnt take driving seriously and I wasnt very skilled at it.“Mom, can I drive home?” I asked Mom when she picked me up from my after-school house-cleaning job. She hesit

67、ated before replying, “Maybe you can have a try since you have got your drivers license.” I jumped into the drivers seat. Mom guided me while I was driving the car in Mrs. Carlsons driveway.

Mom pointed, “Youd better turn into the next driveway and let this guy pass.”Before I reached the place where I needed to turn, the guy sounde

And it immediately flew through a wire fence and luckily stopped in the middle of a pasture (牧场), where several

71、horses were eating grass.My hands dropped from the steering wheel. For a moment, my mom and I sat silently. I took several deep breaths, afraid to look at my mom.

79、” doesnt work in corporate culture but what works is the philosophy of “do as I do”. Leaders are the ones who come out and lead rather than sit behind and give orders. While saying it is easy, implementing it practically takes a long time of practice. The following are some tips on how to be a bette

80、r leader.Take responsibility. 1 Complaints and criticism only make your team members defensive, while taking responsibility shows that the leader has certain love towards the team, which will positively affect the team.Learn to listen. Employees feel valued and important when their bosses listen to

81、them. 2 And it is their right. It makes them feel important, and it gives a sense of contribution to them.3 Greet your employees every morning, ask them about their well-being, and give them best wishes on their birthdays. Although these are very tiny things, your employees will surely appreciate th

82、e little effort that you have taken to cheer their day.Put the team first. Leadership is not about yourself, but it is about your team. A leader would not be in that position without his team. Work collaboratively (协作地) with your team like a team member. 4Walk the talk. You should be able to do what

83、 you say. 5 Suppose you are saying that you are going for cost-cutting, and if you purchase an expensive table for yourself at the workplace, it will demean (贬低) the importance of your words to your employees.A. Pay attention to details.B. Employees want to be heard.C. Maintain a work-life balance.D

84、. Be their guide rather than their boss.E. It should not be against your actions.F. Listening is not hearing but comprehending.G. Blame giving is not a sign of good leadership.(二)In biology, evolution (进化) is a process by which species change over time. Evolution is a theory an explanation about how

85、 the world works, backed by evidence. The theory of evolution states that groups of creatures change over time.1Since every individual within a group is different, some usually have special qualities to help them adapt to the change. 2 Over time, the group evolves as more and more individuals with t

86、hose special qualities survive.Keep in mind that groups dont evolve to become more “advanced” than their ancestors. Their ancestors did well enough to pass on their genes (基因), after all! But species are always changing, so are their environments. Sometimes the climate might change and their environ

87、ment might have more or less food for them. 3 Those challenges make it harder or easier for some individuals in a group to survive.4. For example, fossils (化石) show how apes came to walk upright over millions of years, leading to the evolution of humans. Standing on two legs is a great way to get ar

88、ound. It was beneficial to the species that tried it. That is why were standing here today.Scientists also use the word evolution in other situations. 5 The shape of mountains might evolve as time wears them down and rocks below push them up. A computer chip might evolve as new innovations help it w

89、ork faster.A. A natural disaster might strike.B. Actually evolution is also taking place now.C. It also explains how changes happen in groups.D. Creatures adapt easily to changing environments.E. Thus they will be more likely to survive and reproduce.F. Scientists have some solid evidence that evolu
