On a Saturday afternoon back in 2002, just when my aunt Lorraine was starting to pack up, I discovered my very own treasurea pair of black boots. Although they weren't anything fashionable, they caught my eye. Plus they were only two dollars. She noticed me eyeing them up and said I could have them for fifty cents.Even better! I thought to myself as I pulled them on. They were the perfect fit.When I handed over the money little did I know that these boots would accompany me on some of my greatest adventures. Each year I make a journey overseas and that year, I was making arrangements to visit Helsinki (the capital of Finland), so naturally, I packed the boots. It was winter, but the boots protected my feet from the cold weather. I wore them everywhere. The boots even accompanied me as I walked through the night to find live music. I felt right at home among old friends.In 2009, I went to Aunt Lorraine's home to attend my cousin Jason's birthday party. While we were talking, Jason stared at my boots.He asked, “Where did you get those boots？”“I bought them at your family's garage sale，” I responded.Jason flew into a rage. “Mum! You sold my boots? I bought them in Milan and I've worn them through New York, London, Berlin and Paris，” he shouted.After a silence, however, he laughed and said, “Thanks a lot, Mum！” We spent the rest of the evening sharing memories of the journeys we'd both had wearing the same pair of boots.The boots are no longer fit for wear, but I have held on to them as a memento (纪念物) of the last decade, the places we have walked and the memories we now share.24The author bought the boots .Afrom his cousinBat the price of $2Cwithout hesitationDfor his adventurous trips25The underlined phrase “flew into a rage” means Jason felt .AsurprisedBangryCworriedDconfused26Jason said thanks to his mother because .Ahe didn't want the boots any moreBit was she who bought him the bootsChe couldn't travel worldwide without herDhe could share common memories with the author27What would be the best title for the text?ASweet memories.BA family tradition.CMy beloved boots.DMy great adventures.CWe know more about the surface of the planet Mars than we know about what is at the bottom of Earth's oceans.Until recently, scientists had mapped only about 20 percent of the sea floor. But our knowledge of the deep seas is changing because of information from satellites. Scientists have produced a new map that provides a detailed picture of the oceans. The map is expected to help oceanographers, industry and governments.The new map is twice as detailed as the map made 20 years ago. David Sandwell is a geophysics professor at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California. He and other scientists worked on the mapping project. He says they turned to space to look deeper into the ocean. He spoke to VOA on SKYPE.“The way we're doing that is to use a satellite altimeter (高度计), a radar to map the topography (地貌) of the ocean surface. Now that seems sort of strange that you'd map the topography of the ocean surface when you really want to get at the sea floor. But, the ocean surface topography has these bumps and dips due to gravitational effects that mimic what's on the sea floor.”The scientists collected and studied information from two satellites. Some of the data came from the European Space Agency's Cryo­2 satellite. It was placed in Earth's orbit to watch sea ice. The other satellite is the American space agency's Jason­1. It is studying the surface of the oceans. Scientists combined the satellite data with images gathered by sonar equipment on ships. Sonar works by sending sound waves through the water. When the sound waves hit an object, its presence is confirmed.“That enables us to look at smaller­scale features and also features that are buried by sediments in the ocean basins.”The new map shows the sea floor as it has never been seen before. It shows thousands of underwater mountains and places where continents pulled apart. It shows where earthquakes were active many years ago. They all are buried deep underneath the ocean floor.In one place, three mountain ridges join at the same area. Huge tectonic (构造的) plates can be seen clearly there.28The passage is likely to .Abe an advertisement Bappear on VOACmake a comment on radar Dappear on SKYPE29What will be mentioned in the following paragraph, according to the last paragraph?AThe detailed information about the place.BThe more important thing in the ocean.CThe things buried in the ocean.DScientists told SKYPE they will explore at the same area.30Scientists collected and studied information by .Athe European Space Agency's Cryo­2 satelliteBthe American space agency's Jason­1Csonar equipment on shipsDthe Cryo­2 and the Jason­131What's the best title of the passage?AScientists Create New Maps of Ocean FloorBScientists Know More Oceans Than MarsCOceans Will Provide Us With MapsDPeople Know Easily About MarsDBrown cows may not actually make chocolate milk, but pink silkworms (蚕) do produce pink silk, a team of scientists has discovered. To see if they could produce pre­dyed silksilk that comes colored, straight from the sourcethe team fed ordinary silkworms mulberry (桑树) leaves that had been sprayed (喷洒) with fabric (织物) dyes (染色剂). Out of seven tested dyes, only one worked, producing a thread that reminded me of pink­dyed hair.And yes, the worms themselves take on some color before they produce silk. Their colorful diets did not affect their growth, the team, which included engineers and biologists from the CSIR­National Chemical Laboratory in India, reports in the journal ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering. (The researchers didn't look too deeply into how the dyes affected the silkworms' health. After all, silkworms die when people harvest their silk.)The team made dyeing silk this way because coloring fabric normally uses large amounts of fresh water. The water gets polluted with dangerous chemicals in the process, requiring costly treatment before factories can send it back into waterways. Dyeing silk directly by feeding silkworms would avoid those water­washing steps. Scientists are just starting to study this idea. However, it remains to be seen if it's commercially successful. In this experiment, the Indian team tested seven dyes, which are cheap and popular in the industry.The scientists found different dyes moved through silkworms' bodies differently. Some never made it into the worms' silk at all. Others colored the worms and their silk, but the color disappears before the silk is turned into fabric. Only one dye, named “direct acid fast red”， showed up in the final, washed silk threads. By the time it made it there, it was a pleasant, light pink.32The text is most probably a(n) _.Ascience report Btourist guideCanimal experiment Dfashion advertisement33Silkworms can produce pink silk because _.Athey are born pink Bthey are dyed pinkCthey grow in pink water Dthey are fed dyed food34Where is the experiment carried out?AIn America.

Each of these destinations is attractive. 36 As a new word, staycation refers to people staying at home during their vacation time, and going sightseeing around their hometown. Staycations have become really popular recently, as a way of having an enjoyable vacation, without spending too much money. There are shortcomings to every positive thing, however. 37 You also might prevent yourself from enjoying things to the fullest, as the atmosphere might be the same as any other time. 38 It means you won't be available for work or other activities.What can you do to make your staycation fun? 1. Go to a nearby town, or to a fancy hotel in your hometown and stay overnight. Treat yourself to room service and any other fun things the hotel has to offer. 2. 39 You would have done it on a vacation, right? Treat yourself to this, at least for one day! 3. Throw a small party. Think about the money you are saving by not going away. You will still save money, but have more fun, and you will help other people to have fun too! 4. Go shopping! Window shopping, or the super fun type, where you buy things! You would have bought souvenirs (纪念品) if you had gone on a vacation, so treat yourself during your staycation! The most important thing to remember is to do things that make you and your family excited! 40 AEat out for every mea
