The trip began in Washington, D.C on June 1 and finished in California at the end of August. The Spokes team went to schools. They invited students from grades 6 to 12 to join their classes. Some of their lessons were about engineering (工程学). Others were about computer science. The students learned many interesting things from these classes, such as how to make model planes and robots. They liked the lessons so much. Spokes members were glad to see this. “We cant teach them programming (编程) in a day,” Bent, a member of the Spokes team, said. “But we can get them excited about programming and show them science is cool. Then, kids might think about taking jobs in science when they grow up.”( )16. Why did the college students start the Spokes project?A. To keep healthy. B. To visit beautiful places.C.

Biking for scienceC Half Dome is a famous mountain in Yosemite National Park in America. It is 1,463 meters high. The last part of the mountain is very hard to climb. Before 1919, few people reached the top. Then, cables (缆绳) were put up along the last part. So climbers could use the cables to help themselves get to the top. Over the years, more climbers traveled to Half Dome. Each day, hundreds of visitors climbed Half Dome. Sometimes as many as 1,200 people climbed it. This caused a problem. Too many people on the mountain were not safe. So in 2011 the park made a rule. Only 400 visitors were allowed to climb the mountain each day. And soon the number was changed to 300. Some nature lovers dont like the rule. They say it isnt enough to protect (保护) the mountain. They want even fewer people at the top. These people want to take out the cables. This would protect the mountain better. Climbers do not like the parks rule, either. They like to see the beautiful views (风景) from the top of Half Dome. They say everyone should be able to have the experience.根据短文内容，判断句子正(T)误(F)。( )21. No one climbed to the top of Half Dome before 1919.( )22. Because of the cables, more people can climb to the top of Half Dome.( )23. Today only 400 people can climb Half Dome each day.( )24. Nature lovers do not want anyone to climb Half Dome.( )25.
