“How beautiful the jasmine （茉莉花）is！ A sweet smell covers the budding twigs. So fragrant, so white, admired by all lips. ” The famed Chinese folk song Jasmine Flower has reached a global audience with its beautiful melody and lyrics. Equally popular is the traditionally made Jasmine tea, whose elegant fragrance and mellow taste fascinate countless tea drinkers.

Chen Chengzhong has a big say in the production of Jasmine tea as he is a practitioner of Fuzhou Jasmine tea scenting techniques. The 72-year-old tea maker started his career early in his teenage years, when he became an apprentice in a state-owned tea factory.

Jasmine tea is a kind of tea scented （带有某种香味）with the fragrance of jasmine blossoms and typically has green tea as its base. The natural scenting process consumes fresh jasmine blossoms, picked during the daytime when the buds are closed, Chen said. And the green tea leaves from the spring harvest are stored until the most fragrant jasmine blossoms in late summer.

The hot and humid climate and the red soil in East China's Fujian province provide favorable conditions for jasmine and tea' plants to thrive, becoming the high-quality ingredients that are needed for Jasmine tea. “Our jasmine flowers and tea leaves are all sourced from Fujian in large quantities, despite the fact that they are pricier than those from other origins, ” Chen said.

When the fresh jasmine flowers are harvested, they are mixed with layers of tea leaves. Workers stir （搅拌） the tea leaves and flowers overnight， allowing the leaves to absorb the fragrant scent of the jasmine blossoms.

In the morning, the flowers are sorted, the leaves are dried, and the process is repeated. More repetition makes for a more robust jasmine flavor, and it takes at least nine scenting processes to produce Jasmine tea of a superb grade.

Having been appointed as the representative practitioner of Fuzhou Jasmine tea scenting techniques, Chen now focuses more on passing on the scenting techniques, giving lectures to students and apprentices. Chen's son Chen Zheng is motivated to follow in his father's footsteps and move forward with the scenting techniques. “Like my father, I also hope to practice this traditional skill that has profound cultural deposits, and pass it on, ” Chen Zheng said.

24. What is the author's purpose of quoting the song Jasmine Flower?

A. To tell us not to neglect the song.

B. To show the popularity of the song.

C. To introduce the topic-Jasmine tea.

D. To clarify the origin of Jasmine tea.

25. Why are Fujian's jasmines and tea leaves the high-quality ingredients?

A. Because their fragrances are mixed together.

B. Because Fujian is rich in jasmines and tea leaves.

C. Because they are pricier than those from other areas.

D. Because 'Fujian has suitable climate and soil conditions.

26. Which of the following is RIGHT about the process of making Jasmine tea?

A. It uses the most fragrant jasmine blossoming in early summer.

B. It takes at most nine scenting processes to produce Jasmine tea of a superb grade.

C. Tea leaves should be mixed with fresh jasmine flowers to absorb their fragrance.

D. Fresh jasmine blossoms are picked during the daytime when the buds are opened.

27. What does Chen Zheng want to do?

A. Produce Jasmine tea of a superb grade.

B. Practice and pass on Jasmine tea scenting techniques.

C. Give lectures to students and apprentices.

D. Become an apprentice in a state-owned tea factory.

C

 Rapid deforestation （毁林） of the Amazon rainforest could influence the temperature and precipitation （降水，降水量）over the Tibetan plateau 15, 000 kilometers away．

Saini Yang at Beijing Normal University in China and her colleagues analyzed global climatological data from 1979 to 2019 to identify relations in temperature and precipitation between the Amazon rainforest and other areas. Such links are called “teleconnection1s”. They focused on the Amazon rainforest in particular because of its significance as a major carbon sink and as a climatic “tipping point”（爆发点）that could see forest turn to savannah （稀树草 原）beyond a certain threshold （阈，界） of warming and human-driven deforestation.

The researchers found that since 1979, warm temperatures in the Amazon rainforest were related to warm temperatures over the Tibetan plateau and the West Antarctic ice sheet; more precipitation in the Amazon rainforest was associated with less precipitation in those regions. By analyzing changing temperatures in the regions between the Amazon rainforest and those distant areas, they were also able to trace the path through which energy or materials such as black carbon released in forest fires might spread through the atmosphere. Their analysis showed the route remained consistent under different future warming scenarios.

The collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet is a known tipping point. Melting snow on the Tibetan plateau is not, but the region is warming more rapidly than much of the rest of the globe, and changes to snow and ice there could have consequences for ecosystems and the billions of people that rely on its snowmelt for water, says Yang.

Victor Brovkin at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Germany says the teleconnections are an interesting find, but is skeptical that variability in the Amazon rainforest causes the changes elsewhere. He says the Amazon rainforest is too small an area to overcome the influence of the tropical oceans and the researchers don't present a physical mechanism to explain any influence.

If the Amazon rainforest does have an influence on these regions, however, it could mean there is à higher risk that the Amazon rainforest tipping point might set others off, says Jonathan Donges-at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany. “It adds an additional potential domino （多米诺骨牌）that can fall. ”

28. Why was the Amazon rainforest the focus for Saini Yang's research?

A. Because it played a role as a main carbon sink.

B. Because it was the most important carbon sink.

C. Because it was very likely to turn to savannah.

D. Because it was at a high risk of becoming a climatic “tipping point”.

29. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A. The benefits of the research.

B. The findings of the research.

C. The means of analyzing the data.

D. The results of the Amazon rainforest being deforested.

30. Which of the following points may Saini Yang agree with?

A. The temperature of the Tibetan plateau changes the fastest.

B. The variability in the Amazon rainforest may not lead to changes elsewhere.

C. The more the Amazon rainforest rains, the less rainfall the Tibetan plateau may have.

D. The consequences of the collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet are little-known.

31. What can we learn about the Amazon rainforest from the last two paragraphs?

A. Teleconnections have kept the researchers interested for a long time.

B. The Amazon rainforest tipping point is likely to set off those of other areas.

C. The findings of the research on the Amazon rainforest are controversial.

D. The Amazon rainforest is large enough to remove the influence of the tropical oceans.

D

Until the 1940s，blood transfusions （输血）often went wrong because some main blood- group systems had yet to be discovered. This phenomenon is now a thing of the past, but finding a well-matched donor can still be difficult, especially for patients with rare blood types. Recently, a team of British researchers announced a step towards solving this problem by successfully transfusing into two healthy volunteers red blood cells grown from appropriate stem cells donated by others.

By now, such manufactured red cells have been given only to those whose own stem cells had been the source. The stem cells used for this experiment, however, were extracted from blood donated in the normal way. Then, the harvested stem cells were grown and multiplied in a nutrient solution for about 20 days, which served to turn them into young versions of red blood cells called reticulocytes, which, once transfused, quickly develop into the real McCoy. The lab-made red blood cells would be expected to last longer in a receiver's body than those from a normal transfusion, since transfused blood unavoidably contains some cells that are on their last legs. The next step is to measure how long the manufactured cells actually do last.

If they do indeed survive traditionally transfused cells, then receivers will not need frequent transfusions. That will help a lot. At the moment, patients with blood disorders such as sickle-cell disease and thalassemia may require a transfusion as often as every four to six weeks. . As a consequence， some develop iron overload， which causes severe complications （并 发症）. Others end up forming antibodies against many blood types， which makes finding a matching donor harder.

If all goes well, the trial will be extended to more volunteers. But larger tests, including tests on actual patients, will be needed before this approach can be put into practice. Even then, the technique will probably be reserved for a favored few-those possessing rare blood types being at the head of the queue. Unless some unforeseen breakthrough occurs, making the cells in quantity will be challenging.

32. What does the underlined part “the real McCoy” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A. Red blood cells.

B. Stem cells.

C. Reticulocytes.

D. Nutrient solutions.

33. What can we learn about blood transfusions according to the text?

A. The lab-made red blood cells last longer than those from a normal transfusion.

B. Those with rare blood types may enjoy priority in the transfusion of lab-made red blood cells.

C. Most patients with blood disorders may suffer severe complications and form antibodies.

D. Blood transfusions often go wrong because of people's ignorance of the main blood systems.

34. What's the author's attitude to the mass production of the lab-made red cells in the near future?

A. Indifferent.

B. Optimistic.

C. Hopeless.

D. Cautious.

35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. Development of technology in blood transfusions

B. Transfusion of lab-made red blood cells into humans

C. Red blood cells coming from stem cells of receivers

D. Development and promotion of lab-made blood cells

Miraculous （神奇的）Strength

One chilly, December evening, I was preparing dinner. Suddenly, while setting the table, I heard a tremendous crash from the second floor. It was the kind of rare, heart-stopping noise that instantly struck fear into a mother's heart. Even the dishes in. the kitchen cupboard rattled （发出咔嗒声）！My seven-year-old son began screaming for help， and I raced up the stairs without even stopping to put down the dinner fork I held in my hand.

Entering my son’s room， I found my frightened toddler （学步的儿童）trapped under a five-drawer wooden dresser （衣橱）. It had been torn from its wall anchor. I could hear crying as I ran toward him. As I leaned over, I saw his small, bloody face and the terror in his eyes.

I pulled the large dresser off him. At that moment, I felt I could move mountains. I was fearful to look but quickly tried to assess how badly he was hurt. Begging him to stay still, I dialed 911 and began to pray. I prayed for the mercy that spared him and the healing he would need, given that I wasn't sure of the extent of his injuries. In those minutes before the ambulance arrived, although I was in a chaotic situation with both my sons in tears, an inner calm kept me focused and controlled. I felt a strong presence keeping me steady.

After the ambulance workers conducted a brief assessment, it was agreed that he should have a more extensive examination since this was a possible chest or head injury. A moment of pause forced me to process what had just happened. I recalled dashing up the stairs with a sense of fear as t0 what 1 would find. In only a few seconds, a lifetime of tender memories replayed in my mind. I had asked myself, “Is he still breathing?” “Are bones broken?” One moment. I was simply preparing dinner; the next. I was tearfully praying for my son's life.

注意：

1．续写词数应为150左右；

2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

On the way to the emergency room, I tried to keep him calm.

Back at the house, I found the miraculous strength that protected my son's life-a small, hand-carved elephant.
