For me, thats true for my relationship with my dad. Some fathers and sons bond over sports,
18、 fishing or hunting, but my dad and I bond over Star Trek. We tried a trip to Disney World, but one of my earliest memories wasnt Mickey, but a Klingon battle cruiser (巡洋舰) on the screen.Over the years, nearly every setting and situation has become far away for my dad and me. When its warm at night,
19、 were not driving along some dark streets in Indiana, but going at a slow speed with stars dimly shining. Both of us are thinking of them, without needing to say a word. All these imaginations of other universes have together created a private universe for my dad and me.Gene Roddenberry, creator of
20、Star Trek, once said, “Science fiction is a way of thinking, a way of logic that bypasses (绕过) a lot of nonsense. It allows people to look directly at important subjects.” A lifetime of science fiction has influenced more than just my relationship with my dad, but has also helped me shape my own hop
21、es for the future. Im now a science writer.Yes, science fiction has made me into a “nerd” (书呆子) and it also has been a source of joy for my family, making me an optimist while enabling me to think critically about the danger of technology. Thank those authors who have shared their visions: the world
22、 and my family are better for it. Thank my dad, who is both the best storyteller and the best man I have ever known because he helped me realize the truth of Tennysons words, “For I dipped into the future, far as human eye could see, saw the vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be.”24.

The Time Together with My FatherCFrom the top of Mount Qomolangma to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, plastic continues to pollute the environment, and
26、 it creates a significant threat to all life forms on Earth. Despite knowing the effects of plastic pollution, we have not been able to ban the use of plastic products. Now, thanks to the invention of a 17-year-old girl, Arora, we finally have a better choice. This plastic-like material is made from
27、 prawn (大虾) shells, and it breaks down 1.5 million times faster than most of the commercial plastic products we use today.The Australian teen first became aware of the impact of plastic waste on the environment when shopping with her mother. She wondered why her mother had to pay for the plastic bag
28、s. When asked, the cashier informed her how plastic hurts the planet and that the additional charge was there to encourage people not to use it. This inspired Arora to create a kind of plastic that would break down faster than the conventional one.But the journey of inventing “eco-friendly plastic”
29、was not easy. She experimented with a number of organic materials such as cornflour and banana peels, both of which had to be ruled out because of their solubility (溶解性). One night, while having dinner, she noticed that the shells of prawns look plasticky. She immediately went to the lab to research
30、. Later, she would describe that dinner as her “Eureka” moment. She extracted the material called “chitin” from the shells and then mixed it with an insoluble protein called “fibroin”, which is found in silk cocoons. Using the combination of these two organic materials, Arora created a plastic-like
31、material that breaks down completely within just 33 days. Moreover, this plastic releases nitrogen when breaking down, which is why it can be used as plant fertilizer.Aroras invention has caused a stir, and she has won a number of awards. As an inspiring young woman, Arora wants to make a difference
32、 in the world, and she wants to encourage other young people to follow their passion and make a positive difference however they can.28. What inspired Arora to create a kind of special plastic?A. A cashiers words about paid plastic bags.B. Her determination to protect the prawns.C. A class about pla
33、stics impact on the planetD. Her plan to save money on plastic products.29. What could be a “Eureka” moment?A. A moment of needing reflection.B. A moment of finding the truth.C. A moment of having sudden inspiration.D. A moment of enjoying the celebration.30. What can be known about the new plastic
34、in paragraph 4?A. It is made from non-organic materials.B. It can break down totally in a month.C. It can be used to help plants to grow.D. It is extracted from an insoluble protein.31. Which of the following can best describe Arora?A. Brave and clever.B. Creative and inspiring.C. Active and conside

36、he founder of the police force, An early nickname for the policeman was “peeler”, but this name has died out.Visitors to England seem to be very impressed by the English police. In fact, it has become a joke that visitors to Britain, when asked for their views of the country, will always say, at som
37、e point or other, “I think your policemen are wonderful.”Well, the British bobby may not always be wonderful but he is usually a very friendly and helpful character.A music-hall song of some years ago was called, “If you want to know the time, ask a policeman.”Nowadays, most people own watches but t
