Now, some farmers are using a simple device （装置）directly in the field to find viruses （病毒）before they spread.In Tanzania, farmers struggle to recognize diseases in an urgent effort to avoid great crop damage. This process is often not easy when fanners are acting on their own. If they do not know what is attacking their crops, they cannot decide the best way to fight the disease.A device from British technology company Oxford Nanopore is changing that. The device takes out DNA from plants and helps farmers recognize what is harming their crops so that they can change to the improved crops.Laura Boykin worked with the University of Western Australia and brought the device to a Tanzanian farm-owned by Asha Mohamed. The testing recognized a number of viruses in the cassava fields near Mohamed's farm. "So what would have normally taken six months has just happend in a couple of hours. And thafs possible because of amazing technology, which can give farmers results real-time." Once the viruses were recognized, Asha Mohamed was given two kinds of seeds that are resistant to the diseases.In another case, DNA was collected from a pawpaw tree farm in Kenya. With that test, the technology was able to recognize the diseases affecting Naomi Mumo's crops. Laura Boykin says she returned to Mohamed's farm nine months later. "After nine months of her growing the improved crops, we harvested her plants and she saw large rise in the total amount of crops.The speed at which farmers recognize diseases can mean the difference between the successor failure on large areas of crop land. Now, the use of such simple and easily transportable DNA sequencing （测序）devices is making that possible.24 . According to Paragraph 1, what problem are some farmers faced with?A. They always suffer a poor harvest.B. They fail to find helpful doctors.C. They know little about modern faring technology.D. They have difficulty in recognizing crop diseases quickly.25 . What do we know about the device from Oxford Nanopore?A. It was developed by scientists from Australia.B. It helps prevent the spread of crop diseases.C. It recognizes crop diseases by testing DNA.D. It should be used with the help of researchers.26. Which of the following words has a similar meaning with “resistant“ in paragraph 4?A. harmfulB. recognizable C. unaffected D. appointedWhat could be the best title for the text?A. DNA technology wins great popularity among farmers.B. DNA technology helps farmers recognize crop diseases.C. The economic development in Tanzania.D. The benefits of modern farming.C“Your mind is a garden; your thoughts are the seeds. The harvest can either be flowers or weeds J wrote William Wordsworth, who suggested that the process of gardening mirrors human life. Depending on what we “plant” in our lives, we bloom （生长茂盛）or don't.Before you start to work in your garden, it is necessary to have a vision for it. Thinking of what you want to grow in your garden and how to lay it out is a good first step in making your vision a fruitful reality. In life, you should consider what you want to create and what you want to achieve, because your mind-garden is like the white paper and the possibilities are endless.No matter what plants to choose, poor soil isn't suitable for growth. This is why gardeners take the time and energy to improve the soil before planting. So, creating the right soil is important to the realization of your goals and dreams. Fortunately, there are countless ways to make your personal bedrock （基石）better. Getting an education is one of the most effective ways, which can help you enrich your life's soil.You don't have to be an expert gardener to understand the meaning of “You harvest what you sow." When a gardener wants tomatoes, they just need to plant tomato seeds. It is a very clear act that produces an expected result. Each of us has the power to decide which "life seeds“ to plant. For example, if you plant ill seeds, it's likely that you'll experience pain in return. Contrarily, if you plant seeds of kindness and understanding, your life will bloom with happiness and love.A gardener's truly hard work begins after the seeds are in the ground because a garden requires a lot of care and attention. Regular watering and weeding are required for a healthy garden. So, to ensure your dreams take root, you should be devoted, aware, and present. After countless hours and energy spent, the crops have grown well and are finally ready to be harvested.27. Why does the author use William's Wordsworth saying in Paragraph 1?A. To sing praise to gardening.B. To encourage everyone to plant seeds.C. To stress the importance of results.D. To compare gardening to people's life.28. What is important before gardeners start to work in their gardens?A. Receiving some training in planting.B. Drawing up a good plan for their gardens.C Having the courage to accept the worst result.D. Doing research on the common local garden plants.29. What does the author want to express in Paragraph 3?A. Your quality of life depends on your positive action.B Your experience can help you understand plants better.C. Your choice of soil is an important part in your gardening.D. Your knowledge of planting will make you a successful gardener. 31. Where can you read this article?A. In a science report.B. From news coverage.C. In a book on life wisdom.D. From a lecture on agriculture.DScientists have found life 900 meters under an, ice shelf （冰架）in the Antarctic, the southernmost region on the earth. Ice shelves are floating ice connected to the land and cover a large area of sea. The discovery was made accidentally by a team of researchers from the British Antarctic Survey, an organization that studies the southern polar region. Their findings were published on 15 February. The team was making a hole through the Filchner- Ronne ice shelf to collect the information of the sea floor when they hit a large rock. After sending a video camera down the hole they saw that the rock was home to a community of sea creatures. The video appeared to show 16 sponges （海绵动物）and 22 other unknown creatures, some of which are thought to be barnacles （a small shellfish that attaches itself to objects under water） and tube worms （管虫）. Scientists also found a shrimp-like creature and a jellyfish swimming under an Antarctic ice sheet. A curious shrimp-like creature came swimming by and then parked itself on the camera's cable.These creatures are known as filter-feeders （滤食动物）,which means they stay still and feed on nutrients that are carried in the water. Nutrients are substances in food that help living things grow. This is the first time that marine life like this has been found under an Antarctic ice sheet. Before that, it was thought that living things couldn't survive in these conditions, because of the low temperatures and little sunlight. The discovery has made scientists rethink the conditions in which animals could survive.Dr. Huw Griffiths, a marine biologist for the British Antarctic Survey, says, “Never in a mill years would we have thought about looking for this kind of life because we didn't think it would be there.” 32. What does the underlined word "accidentally" in paragraph 1 mean?A. By chance. B. By design. C. In advance. D. In practice.33. What can we learn from filter-feeders according to this passage? A. Sponges and tube worms are filter-feeders.B Filter-feeders were found in the Atlantic.C. Filter-feeders couldn't survive without enough sunlight. D. Filter-feeders feed on the living things in the water.34. What is Dr. Huw Griffiths's attitude to this finding?A. Uninterested. B. Amazed.C. Doubtful. D. Disappointed.35. . What is the purpose of this text?A. To call on people to protect deep-sea creatures. B. To inform readers of life found under ice shelves.C. To show the findings of a research about ice shelves. D. To stress the importance of ice shelves to filter-feeders.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）How to Make Friends at a New SchoolStarting with a new school can be difficult.
