The 41-year-old car valeter (代客泊车的人), whose 14-year-old daughter plays for the team, took the job two years ago when the previous manager quit be

11、cause no one else would.Stuart renamed the team Leek Town Devils and started training hard in February 2020. Many players had never kicked a soccer before joining the team, so training them took hours of hard work and patience. Stuarts first season was disturbed by the pandemic (疫情), which forced hi

12、m to get creative with training. He organized team-building activities with the girls to help them bond on and off the field. Stuart then spent the sessions they could hold focusing on the basics of soccer like passing, shooting and movement. Each week the girls were asked to work on the bits that w

13、ent wrong the previous Saturday and learn from them, which really helped the team improve.Stuart recalled,“In our first game together, when we scored a goal it was like winning the World Cup. Although we lost the game, we didnt care because the goal was a sign of progress.”Stuart watched the girls d

14、evelop over the course of last year, and in September they played their another match. They won the game, and since then went on an unbeaten run of eight games. Their newfound form led them to a top-of-the-table battle this February, where they were sadly beaten. However, the team still have gone be

Were going into next season full of confidence and ready to compete against tougher competitors, but for now were really enjoying our victory.”4What does the underline

Now, researchers at Johns Hopkins University have found its another use: improving our memory.“Weve al

19、ways known that caffeine has effects on raising cognitive (认知的) abilities, but its particular effect on strengthening memory has never been proved,” said Michael Yassa, one of the scientists of the research team. The researchers conducted a double-blind trial in which participants who did not regula

20、rly eat or drink products consisting of caffeine received either a placebo (安慰剂) or a caffeine pill five minutes after studying a series of pictures. The next day, both groups were tested on their ability to recognize pictures from the previous days study session. On the test, some of the pictures w

21、ere the same as those from the day before, and some were new additions which were similar but not the same.More members of the caffeine group were able to correctly identify the new pictures as “similar” to previously viewed pictures rather than mistakenly see them as the same. The brains ability to

22、 recognize the difference between two similar but not the same items reflected better memory, the researchers said.“If we used a standard recognition memory task without these similar items, we would have found no effect of caffeine,” Yassa said. “However, using these items requires the brain to mak

23、e a more difficult discrimination what we call pattern separation, which seems to be the process that is improved by caffeine in our case.”“Almost all the previous studies distributed caffeine before the study session, so if there is an improvement, its not clear whether its due to caffeines effects

24、 on attention, focus, or other factors,” Yassa said. “By offering caffeine after the study session, we rule out all of these effects and make sure that if there is an improvement, its due to memory and nothing else.”8Which paragraph mainly tells the process of the experiment in detail？AParagraph 2.B

25、Paragraph 3.CParagraph 4.DParagraph 5.9Why did the researchers use similar pictures？ATo measure participants attention.BTo test participants ability to learn.CTo add the difficulty of discrimination.DTo further explain pattern separation.10How is this experiment different from the previous ones？APar

27、hens learning abilityCdoes harm to cognitive abilitiesDhas a positive effect on memoryAs global climate change becomes more serious, growing crops will be a major challenge. Massive heat waves and droughts (干旱) are already doing harm to farmers: Over the next three decades, Californias San Joaquin V

28、alley alone could lose up to 535, 000 acres of farming land as a result of the shortage of water supplies.Jennifer Brophy wants to help solve that problem. Shes an assistant professor of bioengineering at Stanford, and works on methods that she hopes will be used to change crop species so that they

29、can survive severe conditions. At present, Brophy is developing new genetic(基因的) engineering techniques that can help crops survive droughts.In order to promote plants to respond to extreme climate, Brophy is building what she calls “genetic circuits”. Besides changing the genes within plant cells,

30、this method also changes how and when those genes are activated. If the plant senses a specific sugar, it can express one protein (蛋白质); if it senses another signal, itll express a different protein, kicking off an entirely separate chain of events. If both signals are there, the plant may be able t

31、o express something else entirely. “Using circuits, you can have plants respond in new ways to all these different inputs,” she says.“Normally, a plant doesnt necessarily know whats coming. It just knows if its hot or temperate right now,” says Brophy. This can lead to problems when weather becomes

32、unstable: A plant that usually flowers in spring may flower in winter if therere a few unseasonably warm days. When temperatures fall quickly again, the flowers die and ruin a year of crops. “Itd be great to be able to communicate with plants to tell them, Hey, you should wait on that flowering, ” s

33、he adds.Controlling plants growth at this level is exciting, but actually putting it into practice is not an easy task. At the moment, Brophy is testing the method in the lab using a small weedy plant called Arabidopsis. Shes still in the process of figuring out how to activate certain genes on comm

34、and.12Why is Californias San Joaquin Valley mentioned?ATo prove the significance of growing more crops.BTo point out the barrier to increasing water supplies.CTo show the harmful effect of climate change on farming.DTo tell the root cause of more severe global climate change.13What is the expected f

35、unction of genetic circuits?ACreating warmer living conditions.BIncreasing plants exposure to nature.CControlling plants growth on demand.DMonitoring the protein in the plants.14What does the text say about Jennifer Brophys research？AIt still has a long way to go.BIt is actually an easy task.CIt has

36、 proved successful.DIt turns out meaningless.15What is the text mainly about？AA victorious battle against global warming.BA way to help crops survive climate change.CA scientific breakthrough in bioengineering.DA new type of crops resistant to heat waves.二、七选五When you feel down, you are expecting to

37、 receive support or comfort from your friends. Your friends feel the same way. However, it may be not easy to cheer up your friends when you cant be by their side. _16_ Ask if theres anything you can do to help. Different people prefer to be comforted in different ways.

43、 home when I saw a homeless man in the median strip (中央分隔带) in the road.I wanted to give the man some _21_ , but I didnt have any cash. My son _22_ the man as well and he insisted that I give the man the 30 cents he had. It seemed that he had read my _23_ and he responded out loud.I was more than _2

44、4_ that he wanted to help, but honestly, I was _25_ . I didnt want to give just 30 cents to this man who clearly _26_ more help. My own pride and _27_ over the homeless mans disappointed reaction to _28_ just two coins stood in the way.I quickly realized that I was the only _29_ in the situation and

45、 that the traffic light would turn green soon. I then thought to myself, “Ive been teaching him about _30_ others and now that he wants to give everything he can _31_ , I shouldnt let my personal self-centeredness _32_ this act of kindness.”I almost told my son, “Lets wait to _33_ until we at least

46、have one dollar.” I almost told my son that what he had wasnt _34_ . I almost showed him that what he saw as a good thing couldnt make a _35_ in someones life. I almost taught him that personal _36_ was more important than helping another human._37_ , I quickly got rid of that foolishness.I then rol

47、led down the window and said to the man, “Im sorry. I dont have any cash on me, but my 5-year-old son back in the _38_ wants to give you everything he has right now.”To my _39_ , the smile on that mans face lit up the intersection. The only thing that matched the _40_ of that strangers smile was the bigger smile on my boys face.21AequipmentBinformationCmoneyDadvice22AcomfortedBtaughtCnoticedDattracted23AapologyBmindCorderDfuture24AhappyBconfusedCangryDashamed25AthrilledBhesitantCdisappointedDrelieved26AneededBrejectedCoverlookedDasse
