So he loaded his 29-foot sailboat with canned fish, fruit and rice and set sail in mid-March.“I didnt want to stay like a coward (懦夫) on an island where there were no cases,” Mr. Ballestero said. “I wanted to do everything possible to return home. The most important thing for me was to be with my family.”Friends tried to dissuade Mr. Ballestero from starting the perilous journey, and the authorities in Portugal warned him he might not be allowed to re-enter if he ran into trouble and had to turn back. But he was determined, “I bought myself a one-way ticket and there was no going back,” he said.Sailing can be a lonely passion, and it was particularly so on this voyage for Mr. Ballestero, who each night tuned into the news on a radio for 30 minutes to assess how the virus was spreading across the globe. “I kept thinking about whether this would be my last trip,” he said.When he made it to his native Mar del Plata, on June 17, he was surprised by the heros welcome he received. “Entering my port where my father had his sailboat, where he taught me so many things and where I learned how to sail, gave me the taste of a mission accomplished,” he said. A medical professional administered a test for Covid-19 on the dock. Within 72 hours, after the test came back negative, he was allowed to set foot on Argentine soil.While he didnt get to celebrate his fathers 90th birthday in May, he did make it home in time for Fathers Day.24. Why did Juan Manuel Ballestero start his journey?A. To be reunited with his family. B. To avoid being infected by the coronavirus.C. To realize his dream of sailing. D. To prove his bravery.25. What do we know about Juan Manuel Ballestero? A. He was forbidden to enter Mar del Plata port. B. He didnt receive any information about the outside world during the journey. C. He failed to celebrate his fathers birthday. D. He was not allowed to leave Porto Santo by the authorities in Portugal.26. What does the underlined word “perilous” in paragraph 4 mean?A. distant B. tiring C. boring D. adventurous27. What can we infer from the text?A. The man was born in Porto Santo in Argentina. B. His friends encouraged him to start his journey. C. A test for Covid-19 was given to him the moment he arrived. D. The man was not worried at all during the trip.CA robot navigates through the strawberries, detecting ripe ones, picking without bruising and placing them in its basket. It sounds futuristic but it is possible now thanks to Rubion, the picking robot for strawberries. This piece of Belgian innovation is not only an answer to the labor shortage in the agricultural industry, but also allows growers to increase the quality of its produce which in the end benefits the consumer.Demographic (人口结构的) and socio-economic numbers show that the labor shortage in the agricultural industry is a fact. But for Octinion the focus is clearly on adding quality. “Thanks to robotics, we have so many possibilities, much more than a human could ever do. Harvest prediction, picking according to market needs, simply picking when the berries are ripe instead of when workers are available these are just a few examples of what is possible now for a grower,” says Tom Coen, CEO of the Octinion Technology Group. “The consumer will also notice the difference, as strawberries will be fresher and show less bruising.”Introducing robots in an industry where almost everything gets done by hand is more of a revolution than an evolution. It calls for close cooperation with all stakeholders (利益相关者). Tom Coen: “not only have we been working together with growers and test centers across the world for the past couple of years, breeders have also been keen on being part of the technological developments. ”In 2014 a team of Belgian engineers started the development of the robot. In the meanwhile, Octinion wasnt the only company presenting a concept. Product Manager Laura Guillaume says its not a surprise that the company from Leuven is the first to actually present a commercial product: “by developing the robot from the beginning, we are able to make it practical in greenhouses or tunnels.” Octinion plans on launching harvesting robots for other crops in the upcoming years.28. What can we know about the robot?A. It can help solve the problem of labor shortage.B. It makes little difference to the quality of the fruits.C. It is developed by a group of Belgian engineers independently.D. It has been put into use around the globe.29. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The good news of the robotic picking.B. The advantages of the robotic picking. C. How the robotic picking works.D. Different attitudes to the robotic picking.30. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The robot was introduced to the market in 2014. B. Octinion is the only company to put forward the idea of the robot. C. The robot can be used in any situation. D. Various harvesting robots are on the way.31. What can be the best title for the text? A. How robots pick strawberries. B. Fruits will be picked by Robots. C. Strawberry-picking robots are presented. D. A new robot was invented.DEveryone has an anecdote to share about how stress affects their body, particularly in their skin and hair-the only tissues we can see from the outside. Recently, a team from Harvard University provides scientific evidence to support the idea that stress can cause a persons hair to turn gray in a study published in the journal Nature. Ya-Chieh Hsu, a professor in this team said in a statement that the study was the first to confirm the common belief that stress can cause gray hair. Most people have about 100,000 hair follicles (毛囊) on their head. The follicles are responsible for making melanocytes (黑素细胞), the cells that give hair its color. As people age, melanocyte production is reduced. This causes a persons hair to begin turning gray naturally.The team used experiments with mice to look at how stress affects stem cells in hair follicles. At first, the researchers suspected that an immune attack caused by a stressful event might be targeting the melanocyte stem cells. That theory, however, turned out to be false. The team also thought the hormone cortisol (皮质醇), which always increases in the body during times of stress, might be a likely cause. However, when researchers removed the glands (腺体) that produce the cortisol hormones, the hair of mice still turned gray.The scientists then centered their experiments on the bodys sympathetic nervous system - a system that is made up of a collection of nerves that extend through the body and controls "fight-or-flight" reactions in dangerous situations. When the mice were subjected to short-term pain or placed in stressful laboratory conditions, these nerves released a chemical called norepinephrine (去甲肾上腺素). When the norepinephrine was released, all the melanocyte stem cells in the hair follicles were highly activated and changed into cells producing pigment (色素). This overproduction process resulted in the early loss of color-producing cells. Ya-Chieh Hsu said that the results showed the harmful effects are more major than what the researchers had imagined. “After just a few days, all of the pigment-reproducing stem cells were lost. Once theyre gone, you cant reproduce pigments anymore. The damage is permanent” .32. What happened to the mice in a stressful environment?A. An immune attack destroyed their melanocyte stem cells. B. The hormone cortisol level dropped in their body.C. Their melanocyte stem cells become less active.D. More color-producing cells were lost.33. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A. The functions of the sympathetic nervous system.B. The process of hairs turning gray. C. The harmful effects of stress.D. The importance of norepinephrine.34. Which word best describes the authors attitude to the study?A. Skeptical B. Objective C. Tolerant D. Conservative35. What can we learn from the study?A. It is the first to investigate the connection between stress and gray hair.B. The effects of stress is as great as researchers expected.C. Mice become more active when under stress.D. It is natural for ones hair to turn gray with aging. 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。Eyes not only let you see shapes and millions of colors, but also help manage the light signals that keep your bodys internal clock running properly.
