Sunflower season generally runs from late July, so be sure to visit the best sunflower fields near Chicago.

Thompson Strawberry Farm

This huge Wisconsin sunflower field covers an area of 15 acres, so come prepared with scissors and a jar to prepare for a long day of picking. Visitors are welcome to cut up to a dozen sunflowers from the field, but if you really want to take home a few more, additional flowers will only set you back a dollar each.

$ 25 per car for up to six people, $ 5 per person for more than six people.

Heap’s Giant Pumpkin Farm

Flower enthusiasts will delight in walking through more than 5 acres of sunflowers at this farm, which offers an all-day pass that gives you access to the sunflower field and other farm attractions like corn mazes (迷宫). You can buy a De Bucket: a $20 basket you can fill with as many flowers as you can fit inside.

Thistleberry Farm

Though some of its previous summer sunflower fields have already been cleaned, South Bend’s Thistleberry Farm will once again erupt in a 3-acre sea of sunflowers from September 16-27. Order tickets online to reserve a spot before visiting.

$ 6 per person plus a $ 1 online processing fee.

When I was a young teen, I hated the idea of people looking at my body when we exercised together, mainly due to not being slim. So, I would exercise-but not out of enjoyment, but only to lose weight. I got into spells of going to the gym several times a week but I could never really truly get into it or keep it up for longer than a few weeks. In retrospect(回顾), I realize now that the purpose was largely coming from the wrong place. I had always been taught that the main reason for exercise was losing weight, even in those PE classes. If you weren’t good at sport and physical activity, why else would you possibly be taking part? The idea that you might want to exercise to benefit both your physical and more importantly, mental health, wasn’t even tangible(有形的)or something I ever really thought of until last year. But when the first lockdown started and I had more time to do things, I decided to try.

I tried to hold the belief that I was doing this to improve my physical and mental health, not to lose weight and get thinner, which spurred me to learn to change my point of view and start to develop a newfound love of exercise. Running allows me to clear my head-something I’d heard so often before but soon realized its truth for myself. I can take in all of my surroundings, perking up particularly whenever I see a dog, while I concentrate on the world I find in my headphones-podcasts, radio stations and sometimes just non-stop bangers.

More than half a year after I first laced up my trainers, I can comfortably run now without stopping for longer than I ever could have imagined. I have absolutely no desire to ever run a marathon, but that’s fine! I am pretty slow but I can run and my pace continues to get better. Although I always believed I wasn’t good at sport and exercise, it doesn’t mean I couldn’t do it at all. Although I haven’t really lost any weight since I started running, I feel absolutely healthier and stronger within myself. I feel more capable and confident in what I and my body can do and have started to love myself so much more. It’s also been helped by my decision to unfollow influencers who were increasingly promoting unnecessary weight loss, replacing them largely with bloggers with bodies that looked more like my own and wearing the clothes I really wanted to wear and finally started to believe I could.

4. What did the author think of exercise when she was young?

A. It was a way to kill time.

B. It was a means of becoming slim.

C. It was a distraction from suffering mental health.

D. It could benefit health both physically and mentally.

5. What does the underlined word in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Advised.      B. Stopped.      C. Encouraged.      D. Permitted.

6. What change did the author make after taking up running?

A. She lost some weight successfully.

B. She became more confident in her body.

C. She was influenced by weight loss products.

D. She became thin enough to wear the clothes she wanted.

7. What type of writing does the passage adopt?

A. Narration.      B. Argumentation.      C. Description.      D. Exposition.

C

Refrigerating meat slows the growth of bacteria, but does not stop it as freezing does. For this reason, refrigerated meat is safe to eat for a significantly shorter amount of time than frozen meat. The temperature range from 40°F to 140°F (4.4℃ to 60℃)is referred to as the “Danger Zone” by food safety experts. It is in this "zone" that bacteria increase, nearly doubling in a mere 20 minutes. A home refrigerator should be set at 40°F or colder to keep meat safe for the maximum amount of time. It is important to note that there are two different groups of bacteria that affect refrigerated meat. The first, pathogenic bacteria, make us sick, while the second, spoilage bacteria, make our food go bad and stink up our fridges. By sight, smell and taste, you cannot identify whether a meat is harboring pathogenic bacteria, unlike meat affected by spoilage bacteria.

In a refrigerated state, spoilage bacteria can grow. This is proven by the fact that all food in a refrigerator eventually spoils. Spoiled food won’t make you sick-it might taste bad, but unless it has pathogenic bacteria, your digestive system is in the clear. Unrefrigerated meat, if left out on the counter for a few hours, might smell and look fine, but may be full of pathogenic bacteria. During a power-cut, food stored in a refrigerator that rises in temperature to over 40°F for more than two hours should be removed. Also, due to temperature change, don’t store meat on the door. It is important to maintain your refrigerator’s temperature by keeping the door closed as much as possible.

As always, follow proper cooking instructions when preparing any meat to kill any potentially harmful bacteria. The following is a list of how long certain refrigerated meats will be safe to eat: cooked leftovers, four days; raw eggs, three to five weeks; hard boiled eggs, one week; salads, such as egg, macaroni, potato or tuna, three to five days; ham, three to seven days; hot dogs, one week if opened, two weeks if unopened; fresh fish/shellfish, one to two days.

8. What can be inferred from Paragraph 1?

A. Both groups of bacteria can make us sick.

B. Putting meat in refrigerators can stop the growth of bacteria.

C. It is safe to put meat in refrigerators with the temperature of 10℃.

D. It is easier to find out whether meat with spoilage bacteria goes bad.

9. What effect could you possibly get if you eat spoiled food?

A. You could get food poisoning.             B. You may have a bad taste experience.

C. You may get a digestive system disease.     D. You could get infected by pathogenic bacteria.

10. What should you do to kill the bacteria when cooking meat?

A. Cook it according to instructions.

B. Wash the meat over and over again.

C. Leave the meat on the counter for a while.

D. Put the meat into a refrigerator before cooking.

11. How long is refrigerated potato salad safe to eat?

A. Ten days.     B. A week.     C. Three to five days.     D. Two weeks.

D

How did life come about on Earth? Did it appear in a flash of light? Well, not exactly. A study published in the journal Nature Communications in March shows that lightning may have played a significant role in the creation of life on Earth.

When lightning hits sand, soil or stone, it melts the materials into a glassy material called fulgurite(闪电熔岩). When a group of researchers examined a particular fulgurite, they found a thick, tree-root-like structure extending down about a foot and a half (about 0.46 meters). "It was just entirely made of glass and had burned soil on the outside of it." said Benjamin Hess, study author and graduate student at Yale University, US.

But what Hess and his colleagues at the University of Leeds, UK, found inside the fulgurite was even more impressive. According to Science News, "By firing X rays and electrons(电子)at the fulgurite, and observing how those beams(光线)interacted with the material, the researchers were able to probe(探测) its composition." They discovered that the fulgurite contained schreibersite(磷铁石), a phosphorus(磷)mineral that can be dissolved in water. Phosphorus is essential for the formation of DNA and cell mem branes (薄膜), as well as the formation of teeth and bones in humans, according to the website Phys. org.

It has long been thought that meteorites(陨石)were responsible for delivering this element to Earth. However, life began between billion years ago when fewer meteorites were impacting Earth, reported CNN. Lightning was more prevalent(普遍的)on early Earth because there was more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide contributes to the global temperature, and a higher global temperature causes more frequent and intense thunderstorms, Hess said.

12. What is the feature of fulgurite according to the passage?

A. Its main component is glass.     B. It is from outer space.

C. It is 0.46 meters in length.       D. It is made of sand, soil and stone.

13. Which of the following probably contributes to the creation of life on Earth?

A. Burned soil.     B. Electrons.      C. Phosphorus.     D. Meteorites.

14. What can be indicated from the passage?

A. Meteorites did not appear as early as lightning.

B. Meteorites are unable to generate schreibersite.

C. Meteorites cannot create carbon dioxide, which is essential to human life.

D. Meteor strikes occurred less frequently than lightning at the time when life was formed.

15. What can be the best title of the passage?

A. Life from Lightening        B. Origin of Life on Earth

C. Lightening or Meteorites     D. Importance of Phosphorus

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Something that is interactive involves input or actions on the part of the user. Interactive reading thus requires some action or involvement on the part of the reader.    16   .

Elementary school teachers expose their students to various forms of interactive reading.    17   . Interactive learning materials such as online games, virtual books with interactive skill-building exercises, videos provide additional involvement beyond the text.

The use of interactive learning materials is commonly associated with technology. In actuality, encouraging the physical interaction of readers with the text they read is not a new concept.    19   . The early form of interactive reading sought to engage children with manipulative components to illustrate concepts and complex systems.

   20   . Readers become an integral part of their own absorption of information with the use of multimedia tools, online content and various interactions. Publishers encourage readers to get involved with the materials printed by providing an ever-expanding menu of options for further understanding and enjoyment. Websites, blogs, user-generated wikis, online games and e-books are just a few examples of what is available in terms of interactive learning materials and options.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

India    41    (break)the world record for the most new coronavirus cases this week,    42   (reach) 330,000 new cases on Friday, as    43    (death)in the past 24 hours jumped to a record 2,263, the health ministry said. The United States held the previous one-day record with 300,669 new cases    44    (record)on January 8, 2021.

"We   45   (complete)let down our guard and assumed in January that the pandemic was over-and COVID surveillance(监督)and control took a back seat," says K.Srinath Reddy, president of the Public Health Foundation of India. But “there were still a fairly large proportion of people in the big cities, but also in smaller cities and villages,    46   were not exposed to the virus last year."

As cases declined from September 2020 to mid-February 2021, the Indian government,    47    (lead)by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, ignored warnings of a second wave, despite the fact    48    new variants were identified as far back    49    in January, according to media reports.

After the first wave, Mishra says, the healthcare system moved on to tackle other medical    50   (emergency)that were neglected during the first wave, and dedicated COVID-19 facilities were converted back to their previous functions.
