When I left,I promised I would return to Erlenbach.There is more to Switzerland than cheese and watches.21.What the writer liked best about his stay in Switzerland was probably that .A.he made lots of friends in the villageB.he felt a great sense of belonging thereC.he enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the AlpsD.he played a part in the host familys housework22.How did the writer feel at first when he found his host family always kept the windows open?A.Relaxed. B.Disappointed. C.Excited. D.Worried.23.Why was the language the writers biggest shock during his exchange visit?A.Because he had thought that the Swiss spoke German.B.Because he found his German not good enough for communication.C.Because the Swiss spoke English so well that he neednt have learned German.D.Because the locals told him that Swiss German was almost the same as German.BIt may appear strange to hear that crops are making headlines.But this is no ordinary producethese fruits and vegetables have been grown in simulated（模拟的）Martian and lunar soils!Though the possibility of growing crops in outer space only gained widespread interest after Matt Damon grew potatoes in the movie The Martian,scientists have been testing the idea for many years.Fresh produce will after all be the key to setting up space colonies（殖民地）.Among the pioneers in this effort is a team led by Wieger Wamelink,a scientist at Netherlands Wageningen University.In 2013,they planted fourteen varieties of plants in simulated Martian and lunar soils.Though the Mars plants did not bear any produce,they grew better than the lunar plants,most of which died shortly after being planted.Lack of vapor in the soil,according to the scientists,might have accounted for the failure.The second experiment began in late 2015.The researchers selected the same crops,while this time they used larger containers and added grass to them.In March 2016,their efforts were rewarded with a variety of produce including the vegetable that kept The Martian alive: potatoes.However,the researchers were still not sure if the produce was safe to eat.Thats because the Martian and lunar soils contain heavy metals like lead and arsenic,which do not affect plants but are poisonous to humans.After months of testing,earlier this week,the team finally confirmed that the produce was safe for human consumption.Some of the crops even contained lower levels of heavy metals than plants grown in the ordinary earth soil.To celebrate the success,the scientists held a dinner party that centered ground the crops.While there is no word on how the food tasted,it sure looks delicious.24.Scientists are trying out the idea of growing crops in outer space because .A.the movie The Martian has opened up the possibility for the ideaB.soils on the Mars and the moon are similar to the earth soilC.it is of great importance to space exploration in the futureD.it is a good solution to the worlds growing population25.What change was made in the second experiment?A.The shape of the containers. B.The types of the plants.C.The conditions of the soil. D.The temperature of the lab.26.Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A.Wieger Wamelinka Pioneer in Space Crop GrowingB.Space ColoniesFar from PossibleC.Food Safetya Main Public ConcernD.Martian and Lunar CropsSafe for HumansCFor centuries people have hunted animals for food and pleasure.The invention of the gun made it so easy for humans to hunt that some animals were lolled by the thousands and even became extinct（绝种的）.This brings up some serious problems since breaks in the food chain upset the balance of nature.Large animals like tigers are being killed by the hundreds every year in India.The Royal Bengal tiger is the only type that exists in India and their number is greatly reduced every year because of poaching（偷猎）.The present number is about 2,000,all of which live in tiger reserves.Two hundred years ago the population was 23,000 or more.During the British rule of India,many of the so-called English gentlemen killed tigers for pleasure and to show their bravery.This seems stupid because killing an innocent（无辜的）creature with a gun is not a brave deed.Today the tiger skin is very popular.Rich people and fashion designers have no idea what they are doing. Competition between the rich to show off makes them blind to the serious effects.People persuade villagers to kill tigers to get money,and they do it because they are poor and need to feed their families.We must educate them,and the government should give them proper jobs to help solve this problem.The people to blame are those who buy animal products like ivories,furs,tiger bones for medicine and handbags made of animal skins.They must be put behind bars to stop this kind of trade.The earth is home for everyone on it. The trees,animals,birds,and fish of all kinds belong here as much as we do.Only we have the power to change their fate.27.What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?A.The balance of nature has long been broken by human beings.B.It is a tradition for people to hunt animals for food and fun.C.The gun is the leading cause of the extinction of many animals.D.Overhunting can lead to a series of problems in nature.28.According to the writer,the English gentlemen who played hunting games were .A.brave B.cruel C.confident D.careless29.What does the underlined word them in Paragraph 4 refer to?A.Rich people. B.Fashion designers. C.Poor villagers. D.Government officials.30.What is the writers opinion on poaching?A.No buying,no lolling. B.Keep wildlife in the wild.C.Cage the cruelty,not animals. D.Shoot animals with cameras rather than guns.第二节（共5个小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。Looking back at my younger years,I am sometimes amazed at how life has turned out._31_The
