The high reward attracted so many people, but in nature besides golden, the marigold is brown； it is not easy to create the white one. So after they were excited for a time, many people forgot that announcement.One normal day after 20 years, the Horticultural Institute accidentally received a letter and 100 seeds of pure white marigold. On that day the news spread like wildfire. It proved to be an old woman of over 70 years old. The institute had always been hesitating over the fact that the letter stated with certainty that the seeds could bloom pure white marigold.Those seeds finally took root in the earth. The wonder appeared after one year: large fields of pure white marigold swung in the light wind. As a result, the old woman became a new focus.Originally, the old woman was just a flower-lover. When she happened to read the announcement 20 years ago, her heart kept beating wildly. But her eight children all opposed her decision. After all, a woman who never knew the seed genetics(遗传学) couldn't complete what the experts could never accomplish! Still, the old woman didn't change her mind and went on working. Year after year, through many cycles of spring sowing and autumn harvest, the old woman's husband died; her children flew far and high; a lot of things happened in her life but only the desire to grow the pure white marigold took root in her heart. Finally, after 20 years on the day we all know, in the garden, she saw a marigold, which was not nearly white but as white as silver or snow.Such a difficult problem as even experts couldn't deal with was readily solved by an old woman who didn't understand genetics. Was it a wonder? Take root in the heart and even the most common seed can grow into a wonder!24Why was a great reward offered by the Horticultural Institute?AWhite flowers could be sold at a higher price.BPure white marigold was more beautiful in nature.CIt was very difficult to develop pure white marigold.DScientists wanted to know how marigold grew in nature.25What can we know about the old woman from the passage?AShe got professional support from scientists.BShe kept trying for years before she succeeded.CShe was 70 when she first read the announcement.DShe sent pure white marigold flowers to the institute.26The underlined word “readily” in the last paragraph probably means .AeasilyBquicklyCwillinglyDluckily27What is the best title for the text?ASeeds Take Root in the HeartBWhite Marigold is Hard to GrowCMarigolds Grow from BraveryDWhite Flowers Bring SuccessC Having just finished high school, I wasn't sure what I wanted to study in higher education, so I decided to take a gap year to figure that out.One of my biggest passions has always been Africa and I have always wanted to do some kind of volunteering. However, I was afraid that, especially when it comes to volunteering in research, I wouldnt be able to go into much depth with the research I would be doing. I neednt have worried about this internship（实习期）though. It has been perfect for me because not only am I doing the same activities as all the other volunteers but I also get to do my own research in addition to those activities.The internship program I am following focuses on big predators(食肉动物). I have decided to focus on cheetahs（猎豹）for my individual project, collecting data on the two cheetahs that live in Rietspruit, one of the reserves that African Impact does research in. With both cheetahs having only been reintroduced into the area this year, there is still a lot of data that can be collected on the pair. Large predator reintroduction is a common strategy used to return these animals to their historic range. The problem is that the success rates of these reintroductions are very low, mainly because of lack in research done on how different factors influence the reintroduction.Both cheetahs are wearing a GPS-collar from which I can download a lot of information including where the cheetah has been, what the weather was like and how far the cheetah travelled. Having organized and categorized the information, I have been able to create some very interesting graphs.Even though it is quite difficult since Ive never done any research like this, I really enjoy all the challenges and problems I have had to face and solve. And Im glad that I can do something to help wildlife.28Why did the author take a gap year after high school?AHe was asked to do some voluntary work.BHe didnt think he was quite ready yet.CHe wanted to do some travelling in Africa.DHe didnt really like receiving higher education.29What did the author realize after joining the internship program?AIt was what he had expected.BIt separated him from others.CIt was too challenging for him.DIt was really suitable for him.30The authors work mainly involves _.Acollecting information about two cheetahsBobserving two cheetahs in the wild secretlyCwalking around Rietspruit to serve scientistsDcollecting data on some different big predators31What is the best title for the text?AMy experience on the predator research internshipBMy experience of rescuing wildlife in AfricaCMy experience of receiving higher educationDMy experience of protecting cheetahsD There were far fewer cars on the streets and crowds were not seen in the shopping malls in Central China's Wuhan on Jan 24 the Eve of the Chinese New Year. The scene was quite different from the occasion in the previous years because of the novel coronavirus, which had resulted in 41 deaths in China by the end of New Year's Eve, mostly in Wuhan, according to the National Health Commission.Chen Li, a doctor in a Wuhan hospital, spent the Chinese Lunar New year's Eve at home to quarantine herself for having had contact with infected patients, but luckily she has no signs of symptoms for the time being. Chen's husband is at the forefront of the fight against the epidemic （流行病）. "We havent seen each other for over a week,” said Chen. On Saturday morning, she put on protective clothing again and returned to work.Wuhan is following Beijings SARS treatment model in 2003 to build a makeshift hospital with 1,000 beds for receiving infected patients. It will be completed and put into use prior to Feb 3, less than 10 days away. “Its going to be another all-nighter. We need to speed up the work,” said Lyu Jun, a young truck driver at the construction site. This is his first Spring Festival away from home.For ordinary people, this year's Lunar New Year's Eve lacks some gatherings. Yin Yeqiong, from Hunan Province, refunded （退掉）her tickets back home after much debate. “I had it in my mind to still go home, but finally decided to stay in Wuhan,” she said. “Our stay will help reduce panic in other places."Doctors, nurses and experts from across the nation have been selected to join the battle, and manufacturers have restarted their plants to produce medical consumables that have been running short in many places.“This is going to be an unforgettable Spring Festival,” said Chen Ying, a writer. ''Because I feel that at this moment, there are so many families that I do not know, in every corner of this city, praying for our home."32What does the underlined word "quarantine" mean in paragraph 2?ASupport.BSupply.CServe.DSeparate.33Why did Yin Yeqiong decide to stay in Wuhan?AShe couldn't afford the ticket home.BShe was eager to work as a volunteer.CShe didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.DShe was not allowed to go back to her home.34What does the text intend to tell us?AThe Chinese are fighting against the epidemic together.BThe epidemic is not so serious that we can enjoy our normal life.CCoronavirus, a highly infectious disease, is spreading around China.DNot until the makeshift hospital is completed will the doctors find the cure.35What can we learn from the text?AThe Spring Festival in China this year is the same as before.BChen Li and her husband are fighting against coronavirus in Wuhan.CLyu Jun and his coworkers will help complete the hospital in Bering.DThere is no need to worry because we have plenty of medical consumables.第二节 （共5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。 Food will become healthier and the food choices will become smarter and promote healthy eating once your kitchen is well organized. 36.
