Vinegar（醋）is great. It makes salad, fries and dumplings taste better, and you can even clean your windows with it. And now, according to scientists，it may even help the planet’s population survive climate change. Researchers from the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS) in Japan proved that. They found growing plants in vinegar makes them more resistant to droughts. This could mean that in the future，worries about climate change affecting the world’s supply of food will be much lower.

The discovery was made after the researchers studied the Arabidopsis, a plant known for its ability to survive in dry weather. It was found that when the plant was placed in drought-like conditions, it produced a chemical called acetate（醋酸盐）--- the main ponent of vinegar.

After discovering this, the scientists experimented further by adding acetate to the soil of other plants before they stopped giving them water pletely. After leaving the plants for 14 days, they found that the ones treated with acetate had survived, while the untreated plants had dried up and died.

It’s hoped that this simple method of survival could soon be used to help farmers in dry countries keep their crops alive. “In the experiment, we targeted the basic foods of the world—rice, wheat and maize... and proved successful” Jong Myong Kim, co-author of the study, told Popular Science magazine.

Kim has already been in touch with people around the world who are interested in trying this simple and cost-effective method out for themselves from farmers to panies and amateur gardeners. “Now we are trying to cooperate with them to make a method to apply this system, and make the

process as simple as possible,” he said. Hopefully this means the end of hunger caused by bad weather in the future.

21. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 1 refer to?

A. Vinegar may help creatures survive bad weather. B. Vinegar is found in plants by Japanese scientists. C. Vinegar is very useful for cooking.

D. Vinegar is mainly used by people to clean houses. 22. Scientists in Japan find from their studies that ________.

A. the acetate can be used by farmers to replace the soil. B. the plants treated with acetate could survive dry conditions. C. soil condition could be changed by pouring vinegar continually. D. the Arabidopsis could survive in dry weather because of the shape. 23. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. How to decrease the cost is the main issue. B. Keeping plants alive means a lot for scientists. C. The method is promising especially in agriculture. D. It’s too difficult for farmers to accept the method. 24. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. Plants Need Water B. Vinegar and Food

As more and more schools rush to put digital devices in the hands of every student, many parents are being increasingly worried about the quality of their children’s education. The promise of increased student academic achievement through the use of technology hasn’t produced any significant results in the past 20 years.

Researchers at the University of California Los Angeles conducted a study in 2018 to determine if the social skills of elementary students were blocked by screen time. Two groups of sixth grade students were pared. One group was sent to an outdoor camp for one week with no screen time, while the control group live life as normal. After one week, the students at camp had made significant improvements over their peers（同龄人）. The good news is that when we limit access to screen time and give children the opportunity to interact face to face, they quickly bee better at reading the emotional state of others. The bad news is that we have a generation of children that struggle with this basic emotional intelligence skill.

Too much screen time has been linked to childhood obesity, sleep disorders, behavior problems, and academic challenges. But is there a difference between schoolwork and entertainment media?

When students are using technology for academic work they are more likely to be municating with peers, working cooperatively, and developing other important skills. However, all these are impossible when students watch entertainment media. They just sit and watch!

Parents have the right to focus on their children’s screen time at school, but they should begin with discussing the use of digital media at home. Some parents are continuously engaged in their own devices, responding to every ring of their phones, receiving and sending messages. How can they expect their children to do better?

25．What was the schools’ original intention of using digital devices?

A. To make sure students get technological education. B. To help students develop socially.

C. To make school life more entertaining and colorful. D. To improve students academically.

26．What aspect of children worries the writer a lot?

A. Lacking guidance on proper screen time. B. Lacking chances to municate with others. C. Lacking interest in improving their study.

D. Lacking skills in reading others’ emotional state.

27．What attitude does the writer have to the use of digital devices in schoolwork?

A. Positive. B. Worried. C. Negative. D. Uncertain.

28．From the passage, we can learn that ________.

A. parents shouldn’t oppose schools in their educational approaches

B. some parents may set a bad example to their children in using digital media C. the screen watching time shouldn’t be longer than 2 hours for students D. it’s wrong for schools to focus on technological education C

One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem — inability to read.

In the library, I found my way into the “Children’s Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a

picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal panion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.

There on the book’s cover was a beagle which looked identical to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.

Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.

My mother’s call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.

I never told my mother about my “miraculous” experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD degree in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held. 29．The book caught the author’s eye because_____.

A. it contained pretty pictures of animals B. it reminded him of his own dog C. he found its title easy to understand D. he liked children’s stories very much

30．Why could the author manage to read the book through?

A. He was forced by his mother to read it. B. He identified with the story in the book. C. The book told the story of his pet dog. D. The happy ending of the story attracted him. 31．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. The author has bee a successful writer. B. The author’s mother read the same book.
