WorriedBIn the Hollywood movie The Martian, actor Matt Damon plays an astronaut who grows food on Mars(火星)to survive alone on the red planet.After seeing the movie, Washington State University physicist Michael Allen and University of Idaho food scientist Helen Joyner decided to carry out a case study helping students figure out how to farm on Mars. In the case study, students have to imagine they are mining(采矿) on Mars and decide how to feed themselves there before starting on the journey. They get advice from Allen and Joyner on how to select crops and take the challenges of growing crops over long periods on Mars. Students use a scoring system to select three foods to plant on Mars.Allen found the results impressive: among 30 students, “no two people have ever gotten the same answer”, he said.Human travelers to Mars will likely have to make use of resources on the planet rather than take everything they need with them on a spaceship. This means farming their own food on another planet, one that has a very different ecosystem (生态系统) from Earths.One challenge for those who would like to live on Mars is the fact that there can be no farming tools. Like real astronauts, students taking part in the study cannot take a lot of farming tools with them. As Joyner put it to his student astronauts, “You are starting with nothing.”Besides, students also have to deal with a very limited choice of diet. “If I had to eat a single food for the rest of my life, could I do it?” Joyner asked.But Allen believes the case study is about more than farming and eating on the Red Planet.“Im not teaching about growing food on Mars,” Allen said. “Im teaching about living with choices. Im teaching about problem solving.”54. In the case study, students have to _.A. watch the movie to know the conditions on MarsB. decide which crop to grow on Mars with the help of the teachersC. design different types of diets on Mars for them to chooseD. understand how to farm on Mars with their favorite farming tools55. Michael Allen thinks that the case study _.A. increases students knowledge about farmingB. helps student know more about MarsC. develops students skills of solving problemsD. teaches students how to make proper choices56. The passage is mainly intended _.A. to describe a research on how to farm on MarsB. to prepare us to deal with problems on MarsC. to teach us how to survive on Mars aloneD. to introduce a Hollywood movie, The MartianCTake a look inside a high school classroom. You will most likely find a teacher at the front of the class and students sitting at their desks. Yet, look closer, and you might notice a familiar scene: many of these students are not paying attention. Instead, they are dozing off (打盹) or even completely asleep.Today, the majority of high school students are not getting enough sleep. This lack (缺乏) of sleep is a serious problem, especially as students are doing more than ever with their time. They come to school early, spend hours listening to teachers and taking tests, then run off to practices and meetings, and come home to be faced with even more work. And the homework load these days is not light; teachers give hours worth of homework each night.Most kids need at least nine hours of sleep per night in order to function properly. Yet the period of this nine hours shifts as a child gets older. After puberty(青春期),the bodys internal clock changes so that it is difficult for teens to fall asleep before 11 p.m. So even if a student falls asleep at eleven, they would need to sleep until at least 8 a.m. to get a full nights sleep. Considering the time at which most high schools in this country begin, those nine hours are clearly being shortened. Few high schools start after 8 a.m.However, there are schools that have paid attention to this research and pushed backward the start of their school day. In schools where the start time is after 8:30 in the morning, the teachers believe that there has been a real change in their students. They note that the students miss class less, pay more attention in class, perform better in class, and report lower levels of depression (沮丧). The researchers of these studies say that the results are quite important and that more schools should consider pushing backward their start time of their school day.57. Which of the following would the author agree with?A. High school students must go to bed before 10 p.m.B. High schools should begin their school day at a later time.C. Most schools should push forward the start of their school day.D. Kids should shorten their sleep time gradually as they grow older.58. The second paragraph mainly discusses _.A. why high school students should get more sleepB. whats life like for high school students at presentC. why high school students feel sleepy in the classroomD. how to lighten high school students homework load59. The underlined word “shifts” probably means “_”.A. arrives B. reduces C. increases D. changes60. How do the teachers feel about the results from pushing backward their school day?A. Disappointed B. Satisfied C. Puzzled D. SurprisedDThe trade fight between the United States and China increased Monday as the two economic superpowers hit each other with their biggest round of tariffs ( 关 税 ) yet. The Trump administration added new 10% tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese goods just after midnight ET (noon in Beijing), covering thousands of products, including food seasonings, baseball gloves, network routers and industrial machinery parts. China fired back immediately with new taxes of 5% to 10% on $60 billion of US goods such as meat, chemicals, clothes and auto parts. The moves lead to the growing conflict between the worlds top two economies.“We are squarely in the midst of the itll get worse before it gets better phase,” Aninda Mitra, senior analyst at BNY Mellon Investment Management, said in a note after the latest tariffs were announced last week. President Donald Trumps waves of new tariffs on China now apply to over $250 billion of Chinese goods, roughly half the amount the country sells to the United States. The latest round affects thousands of products bought by US consumers, including hundreds of millions of dollars of furniture and electronics imports (电子进口). The US tariffs added earlier in the year mostly hit industrial goods.The measures are meant to punish China for what the Trump administration says are unfair trade practices, such as intellectual property (知识产权) theft.Beijing has rejected ( 拒 绝 ) the US assertions ( 断 言 ), accusing the United States of protectionism and bullying. It has fired back with tariffs on American goods worth more than $110 billion.The Trump administration has made “false accusations” and sought to “add its own interests on China through great pressure,” the Chinese government said in a lengthy white paper published Monday about the two countries trade relationship, according to state news agency Xinhua. Unbelievably, The latest round of US tariffs is set to increase at the end of the year from 10% to 25%. China hasnt yet spelled out how it will respond to that.Trump has also threatened ( 威胁) tariffs on another $267 billion of Chinese products. That would mean the US measures effectively cover all Chinas annual goods exports ( 出 口 ) to the United States (the total for 2020 was about $506 billion).China, which imports a far smaller amount from the United States, is running out of new products to target, but analysts say it still has other options to fire back. They include charging even higher tariffs, adding import quotas, limiting Chinese citizens travel to the United States for study and tourism, and reducing taxes for companies affected by the tariffs.61. We can infer from the first two paragraphs that _.A. the Trump administration added new 10% tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese goodsB. China fired back taxes of 10% on US goods in totalC. Chinese goods sold to America amounts to about $500 billion
