It just fills your eyes with tears. Scientists and farmers have been working on a solution to this problem for decades, and they've apparently come up with a tearless onion.Called theSunion, this new vegetable is the result of a natural cross-breeding program thafs been going on farms in Nevada and Washington since the 1980s. It's supposedly a sweet, mild-tasting onion that doesn't leave that strong, pungent aftertaste, but what really sets it apart from most other onion varieties is that it doesn't cause teary eyes when it's chopped.When you cut into a normal onion, it releases a compound called lachrymatory-factor synthase9 and,when that hits your eyes, your body produces tears. Now, the interesting thing about regular onions is that the amounts of lachrymatory-factor synthase increase the longer the vegetables are stored, so the older they, the more you cry. In Sunions9 on the other hand, the levels of that annoying compound drop the more time goes by, until it no longer has any effect on your eyes when you cut it.That's what Sunion growers are claiming anyway, but reports from those lucky enough to have tried them seem to confirm these claims. The Huffington Post had three of its reporters chop some Sunions, and apparently, none of them shed a single tear. According to the Washington Post, they don't have the pungency of regular onions and are so sweet that you can eat them“like popcorn,So the good news is that tearless onions are now a real thing. The bad news is that they are currently only grown in Washington and Nevada, and even though they are sold nationwide, they are still in relatively short supply. The first Sunion batches hit the shelves of grocery stores in December, but we'll probably start seeing them in most grocery shops and supermarkets in the next few years, as more people learn about them.1、What is special about the Sunion?A. If s easily chopped.B. It5s sweet and tastes strong.C. It's tearless and mild. D. It's grown nationwide in the USA.2、How does the author introduce the Sunion in Paragraph 3 ?A. By comparison. B. By telling a story.C By giving examples* D. By asking questions.3、What does the underlined wordpungencyin Paragraph 4 mean?A. Round shape. B. Strong smell.C. Special character.D. Medical function.4、What can we conclude from the last paragraph?A. The Sunion has been largely on the market.B. The Sunion is still on trial at present.C. The Sunion will soon be grown worldwide.D The author is confident about the future of the Sunion.22. (8 分)To my Charley on his wedding day:I know you think these notes are silly. I have watched you wear a long face over the years when I give them to you. But understand that sometimes I want to tell you something and I want to get it just right.

And if believe in those memories, they will pull you back together.I'm very proud of you today, Charley. I am putting this in your tuxedo pocket because I know how you lose things.I love you every day!Mom1、Why did the mother write the letter to Charley?A. To congratulate her son. B.

The gap-year phenomenon originated （起源）with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service （UCAS）.That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible.99 he said*But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students （NUS）, argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship-young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. uNew students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to £ 15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacation periods/9 he said.1、What do we learn about the gap year from the text?A. It is flexible in length.B. It is a time for relaxation.C. It is increasingly popular.D.

It is nearly 400 years old. Emperor Shah Jahan had it built in memory of his wife. It took about 2 years to build the monument. Some 2,000 workers and 1,000 elephants helped get the job done. Today, the Taj Mahal is not just a symbol of cultural history. Ifs also India's most famous tourist attraction. About 8 million people visit it each year.But pollution is turning the white marble monument shades of green, yellow, and brown. The Taj Mahal stands on the polluted Yamuna Riven Insects are attracted to the dirty water. They leave greenish droppings on the building. Air pollution is also a big threat. Factories and cars release pollution into the air. It sticks to the Taj Mahal's suidEace. In the 190s, India's Supreme Court ordered hundreds of factories near the monument to close. Also, car and bus traffic was restricted. From time to time, workers clean the Taj Mahal. But doing so is difficult, expensive, and time-consuming; And it doesn't prevent the discoloration.On July 11, India's Supreme Court gave the city of Agra a warning: "Either you destroy the Taj Mahal or you restore it”. Authorities in the city submitted a draft of an action plan on July 24. It suggests banning plastics and construction from the area. It also calls for the closing of more factories.“In order to preserve the Taj Mahal, people must come together to work toward a solution. There needs to be positive pressure on people to act. We need to act immediately, Sachchida Tripathi says. He worked on a 34 study of pollution at the Taj Mahal. "We are trying/9 he adds, “but we need to try more.” 1、Why did Emperor Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal?A.To attract tourists.B.To honour his wife.CTo represent India.D.To mark his greatness.2、Wha
