I had an old neighbor named Doctor Gibbs. He didn't look like any other doctor I'd ever known. He never shouted to us for playing in his yard, and he was always very kind.
When Doctor Gibbs wasn't saving lives, he was planting trees. He had interesting opinions about planting trees. He hardly watered his new trees, which was quite different from others. Once I asked why and he told me that watering plants overprotected them because it made them grow weaker. He said, “Without enough water, they will have to grow deeper roots(根) in order to search for water themselves. Having deeper roots helps them be stronger and live longer.”
Doctor Gibbs died a couple of years after I left home. Every now and then, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I'd watched him plant about 25 years ago. They were all tall and strong.
I planted a couple of trees myself a few years ago. Two years of caring for these trees made them grow up weak. Hard environment seemed to benefit Doctor Gibbs' trees in ways comfort never could.
58.How was Doctor Gibbs different from others in planting trees
A. He planted trees in the yard.
B. He hardly watered his new trees.
C. He didn't know how to care for his trees.
D. He was busy saving lives and had no time for his trees.
59. What were the trees planted by the writer like
A.Tall. B. Strong. C. Weak. D. Short.
60.What can we learn about Doctor Gibbs from the passage
A. He was always very kind.
B. He spent lots of time planting trees.
C. He was not good at planting trees at all.
D. He worked as a doctor when he was free.

I work as a volunteer for a group helping the poor in Haiti. Recently I took my son Brian there for a week hoping that he could learn something meaningful.Before leaving, I told Brian this trip would be tiring and hard. For the first two days, he said almost nothing. Then on the third day, when we were climbing over high rocky mountains, he turned to me and said, “Pretty hard”.
After that, a five-year-old girl, wearing a large dress and broken shoes,followed Brian around. Later he said sadly, “I wish I could speak French well.” I was surprised at what he said because he always hated French classes.
However, the moment that really reached his heart appeared in a village deep in the mountain. I was asking a poor woman villager some questions for an article. She told us that, through hard work, she learned to read and write and became the leaders of the village.
When leaving for home. Brian even wanted to stay there as a volunteer. I believed he learned a lot from the trip. Soon it will be his 18th birthday. He'll be a man.

A new study finds that plants communicate with one another to warn of danger.
We may all think that plants don't move or make sounds. However, plants talk to each other all the time. And the language is chemical(化学物质).
Over the years, scientists have reported that different kinds of plants send out chemicals into the air to help neighboring plants. These chemical warnings can spread information about one plant's disease or infestation(虫害), so other plants can protect themselves. But how plants receive and act on the information exactly is still mysterious.
For this, researchers in Japan offered some explanations. They have found one chemical massage and followed it all the way from beginning to end.
The researchers looked at the tomato plants infected by a common pest(害虫).To start out , they grew plants in two separate plastic spaces connected by a tube. One plant was infested and placed upwind and the other was uninfected and place downwind. The downwind plant was later exposed (使暴露) to the pest. The result showed that plants near sick neighbors were able to protect themselves better against the pest.
The researchers also studied leaves from the plants. They found one chemical called Hex Vic appeared more often in the exposed plants. It can help kill pests. Researchers then made sure that uninfected plants could fight off pests and diseases. They are warned to make protection first by their friendly plant neighbors.
This is not a simple story, and it may be happening in more plants than tomatoes. It may also be happening with more chemical signals (信号) that are still unknown to us. In a word, we know that plants not only communicate, but also care for one another.
How do the plants communicate with each other according the passage
A.By making sounds. B. By giving out chemicals.
C.With the help of pests. D. By moving close.
66.What does the underlined word“it”in Paragraph 4 refer?
A. The plant's disease. B. The chemical.
C. The chemical message D. The neighboring plant.
67. What can we learn about the study on tomato plants from the passage
A. Plants can help one another to grow better.
B. Not all tomato plants can protect themselves.
C. Pests are more likely to attack a weaker plant.
D. Infested plants can warn the uninfected of danger.
68.What is the main idea of the passage
A. Chemical signals are still unknown to us.
B. Plants can care for each other and grow tall.
C. Uninfected plants could fight off pests and diseases.
D. Chemicals can be used as a language for plants to talk to each other.

On Dec. 9, 2021, three Chinese astronauts gave a science lesson from 400 kilometers above Earth. Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu, who are working at the Tiangong space station, showed millions of students their life there. They also did some fun science experiments. Let's take a look at some of them.
Use it or lose it
The human body grows with the pull of Earth's gravity (重力). But in space, our bones and muscles(肉) don't need to support our body's weight.__________ NASA says that astronauts can lose up to 20 percent of their muscles after just a couple of weeks. That is dangerous because they will be too weak to work.
Astronauts have different ways to prevent this. During the lesson, Zhai introduced a special uniform Ye was wearing. It's called a “penguin suit”. There are many elastic bands(弹力带) inside the suit. Wearing it, astronauts use their muscles to stretch(拉伸) the bands. This keeps their muscles strong.
Space water is different
During another experiment, Wang made a water film (薄膜). Then she added more water drops onto the film to make it a water ball. This can never happen on Earth. Why We need to first understand the surface tension(表面张力) of water. It is like a skin of water. The skin is there because water molecules(分子) are drawn to each other. Most of the time, gravity is too strong and it breaks the skin, But with zero gravity in space, the “skin” stays strong and the water ball will not break.
69.Which of the following is the best to fill in the blank__________ in Paragraph 2
A.Doing exercises sometimes helps. B.It's exciting to live without gravity.
C.This will cause bone and muscle loss. D.It is not harmful to astronauts' health.
70. What does the underlined word “experiment” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Test. B. Text. C. Treat. D. Trick.
71.What can happen on Earth
A. Make water drops into a water ball.
B. The surface tension of water stays strong.
C. Our bones don't need to support our body's weight.
D. Gravity breaks the surface tension of water.
72.What would be the best title for the passage
A. Ways to Keep Healthy in Space. B.Science Experiments in Space.
C.Special Experience at the Space Station. D.Life of Chinese Astronauts in Space.

Do potatoes play a small role on your dinner table 73.__________
Potatoes are becoming China's fourth staple(主食) after rice, wheat (小麦) and corn. Using potatoes as a staple can make our diets healthier and more balanced(均衡的). They are good for us in many ways.
Potatoes are nutritious(有营养的).74.__________ A potato's vitamin C is as rich as 10 apples. Potatoes are also low in calories(卡路里)--they have just 75 percent of the amount of calories that wheat and corn have. 75.__________
__________ People can grow them in almost every part of China during winter, spring and autumn. Potatoes don't need much water to grow. With China facing water shortage(不足), potatoes can become a safe choice.
Many Chinese people think potatoes are like vegetables. They cook potatoes along with other ingredients, 77 .__________ Scientists have found ways to make potato flour (粉), noodles and other staple foods, just like how we use rice or wheat.
A.They are rich in vitamin C. B. Also, potatoes are easy to grow. C. If so, get ready for a big change! D. So if you are worried about your weight, you can try changing to potatoes. E.
