As we all know, trees are always stationary: they stay more or less where you plant them, and no one worries about finding a tree wandering around a park or back yard.

However, there is one special exception, some say：the so called walking palm tree (棕榈树) was found in the rainforests of Central and South America. Many people believe it can really walk around. This is because of its unusual root system: while most trees have one trunk, the palm breaks into many smaller roots a few feet off the ground, giving it the appearance of many little legs.

The amazing walking ability of the palm tree has always been told by rainforest guides to tourists for years, and appears in many sources of documents as an amazing plant adaptation. As journalist Sherry Seethaler writes in her book Curious Folks Ask 2: “Screen writers searching for the perfect B-movie (小成本电影) plant hero could take inspiration from the walking palm, The tree slowly walks from shade to sunlight by growing new roots toward the light.”

A tree that walks in search of the sun is a fascinating, strange story. And it's not true either; the tree is real enough, but it doesn't walk. It sits where it began to grow, not moving except under the force of wind or an axe.

Biologist Gerardo Avalos is one of the world's top experts on the Socratea exorrhiza. His analysis of the plant and its roots shows that the walking tree can't walk because its roots don't move. A few roots on one side or another may die off, but the trunk itself remains, well, rooted to the spot.

“My paper proves that the belief of the walking palm is just a myth,” Avalos said. “Thinking that a palm tree could actually track the sunlight changes by moving slowly over the forest floor…is a myth that tourist guides find amusing to tell visitors to the rainforest.”

24. What does the underlined word “stationary” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A. Not standing. B. Not moving. C. Not growing. D. Not dying.

25. Why do people think Socratea exorrhiza can walk around?

A. It has no roots underground. B. It appears to have several trunks.

C. It grows a few feet off the ground. D. It appears to have many little legs.

26. What can we learn about the palm tree from the passage?

A. It wanders around the rainforest at night.

B. It grows in Central and North America.

C. It is a popular attraction among visitors.

D. It grows well in the shade of the rainforests.

27. What does biologist Gerardo Avalos believe?

A. The palm tree cannot actually walk at all.

B. The palm tree can move its roots.

C. The palm tree cannot track the sunlight.

D. The palm tree cannot keep its trunk growing.

C

Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new ‘species’ of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name — phubbers.

Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.

Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real. Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. “the neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.

But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.

It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.

28. For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragragh2?

A. To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.

B. To advertise the cartoon made by students.

C. To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.

D. To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients.

29. Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have?

A. His social skills could be affected.

B. His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.

C. He will cause the destruction of the world.

D. He might get separated from his friends and family.

30. Which of the following may be the author’s attitude towards phubbing?

A. Supportive. B. Opposed.

C. Optimistic. D. Objective.

31. What may the passage talk about next?

A. Advice on how to use a cell phone. B. People addicted to phubbing.

C. Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing. D. Consequences of phubbing.

D

China is determined to land its astronauts on the moon and set up a scientific station there, according to a project leader.

Zhou Yanfei, deputy chief designer of China's manned space program,said on Friday that China wishes to use the manned lunar missions to carry out scientific surveys and technology demonstrations, explore ways to develop lunar resources and strengthen the nation's space capabilities.

＂A new wave of lunar explorations has been emerging in the world, with participants aiming to make sustainable missions to deepen knowledge of the moon and exploit resources there,"he said in a report delivered at the 2020 China Space Conference in Fuzhou, Fujian province."Unlike other nations,China must depend on its own science and technology to realize our goals."

The country is independently able to land its astronauts on the moon because it has the technologies, a group of well-trained, innovative professionals and high-efficiency research and management systems, Zhou said. "However, our existing carrier rockets can't perform landing missions to the moon because they are not powerful enough. The Shenzhou-series manned spaceships are not suitable for lunar expeditions. We don't have a lunar landing capsule," he said. "Our ground support system was designed for operations in low-Earth orbit rather than on the lunar surface.

To solve the problem we set out to produce a powerful launch vehicle. Zhou said researchers thought about two approaches-making a new heavy-lift rocket, or adjusting the next-generation rocket designed to carry astronauts, which is under development.Researchers prefer the latter approach because it would be easier to design and make and would become operational earlier.

The new rocket is being designed at the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology. Its main body will be 87 meters tall, with a diameter of 5 meters, which would make it almost twice as tall as the Long March 5, currently the biggest of China's rockets.

32. Which is NOT the goal of the manned lunar mission?

A. To explore lunar resources.

B. To perform scientific experiments.

C. To set up a scientific station.

D. To strengthen the national space power.

33. What is the main idea of paragraph 4?

A. China is not capable of pursuing the manned lunar program.

B. There are still difficulties in pursuing the manned lunar program.

C. There are a series of steps in the Manned Lunar program.

D. It is manageable to carry out the Manned Lunar program.

34. What can we infer from the passage?

A. Nations must depend on themselves to explore the moon.

B. The Long March 5 is the biggest of China's rocket.

C. The newly-designed rocket will not carry astronauts.

D. Producing a powerful launch vehicle is the most difficult part in the program.

35. What do the figures in the last paragraph imply?

A. The new rocket is big enough to perform landing missions.

B. The new rocket is being made to launch lunar spaceship.

C. China's scientific power has improved.

D. The new rocket will be put into use soon.

Reflect on our relation with nature

UK physicist Isaac Newton once said, “   36   .” Indeed, Mother Nature can provide almost everything human beings need if we follow her rules. But if we break the rules, she is likely to be cruel and lash out (迅猛攻击) at us.

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP) in China and some other countries at the beginning of this year is an example.   37    and probably has an intermediate host. It’s said that the virus originated from the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, Hubei province, where live wild animals were sold.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Dr Peter Daszak, president of the US-based health organization EcoHealth Alliance, said, “This outbreak is a lesson for us. On a global scale (规模), human population density (密度), wildlife diversity, and land use change are what drive new pandemics (流行病).”

In the ancient times, people needed to rely on nature to survive so they held it in awe . For example, the American Indians believed that humans are a part of nature and nature is a part of humans.    38     .                  

However, as human beings master more knowledge and make more advanced tools, people try to change and even conquer nature. They use more land to make buildings, genetically modify (改变) plants, capture some wild and odd animals to suit their own needs. In this process, humans gradually lose contact with nature and even throw it out of balance.

    39    , Brian Lamacraft at Medium said it’s time for people to “reflect on our relationship with our planet” and “reconnect with this world and everything that we’ve been given”. After all, according to US poet Gary Snyder, “    40    ”

A. Nature is not the place to visit. It’s our home

B. Nature is pleased with simplicity and nature is no dummy

C. Chinese ancients always pursued the harmony between nature and human beings

D. It reminds us that the past outbreaks did severe damage to the human society

E. Although we don’t know for sure what first caused the NCP outbreak

F. The new coronavirus is similar to a virus found in a bat in 2017

G. The only mother of human beings are now facing a great threat-environmental problem

Those early days of college were very  57  , and they taught me a lot about how to  58   what I’m feeling, and the benefits of being honest.
