Imagine how you’d feel if you had to get more than 9,000 tons of junk out to the sidewalk. That’s how much trash(垃圾) is floating around in space. In fact, there’s about 4 million pounds flying over our heads in low-Earth orbit. Daan, a Dutch artist, and his team at Space Waste Lab have come up with a creative plan that could clear up space junk in a spectacular fashion.
①Most space waste comes from dead satellites and rockets. Functioning satellites are the backbone of the information systems that keep our world running smoothly. But all the satellites eventually become obsolete within just a few decades. When they die out, there’s the problem of them drifting in outer space, collecting in what scientists call the “graveyard orbit.”
Maybe you’re thinking, “Why should I care about garbage 12,500 miles above me?” Well, all that fun stuff that satellites help beam down to us—mobile games, Instagram, cat videos—could be shut down by space waste. Lots of old junk floating around up there, plus new satellites added each year, means more and more high-speed collisions (碰撞). And when chunks of junk crash into one another, they break apart into millions of pieces, quickly building up speed and turning into fast-moving objects, which are dangerous to operational satellites as well as astronauts working on the International Space Station.
②Space waste is a problem that’s escalated(不断恶化) so much, some scientists say that by 2050 we’ll be forced to stop launching new spacecraft altogether, including new satellites. Think about that for a minute. When the last satellites finally become disused, GPS, cell phones, and the Internet will no longer function.
③So we have to find a way to deal with this space garbage, and Daan pictures a sort of trash pickup, which involves groups of small spacecraft casting large nets into orbit that would collect space debris (碎片) and send it back toward Earth at top speed. Here’s the best part—while reentering Earth’s atmosphere, the pieces of junk would burn up all at once, creating a light show similar to hundreds of shooting stars falling in the night sky. A spectacle indeed!
To get ready for such an amazing effort, Space Waste Lab has been traveling to major cities across Europe and enlightening the public on the problem of the junk in space. ④But Daan doesn’t just talk about ways to relieve the problem—he’s created something a little grander than that. In October 2018, his team launched Space Waste Lab Performance, an outdoor art exhibition that shows the location of each piece of space trash using large lasers that make each debris look a bit like a star wandering slowly and silently over the sky, allowing viewers to wave and say, “Hallo, space trash!”
24．The word “obsolete” (paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to “______”.
A．accessible B．profitable C．floating D．outdated
25．According to the passage, which sentence best replaces the question mark in the diagram?

A．Working satellites can be damaged and astronauts can be hurt.
B．Satellites can help people track the weather and find new locations.
C．There is more junk floating in space each year as new satellites are added.
D．The Space Waste Lab Performance can show people where satellites are located.
26．Which of the following best supports the idea that space waste should be dealt with very soon？
A．Sentences ① B．Sentence ② C．Sentence ③ D．Sentence ④
27．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A．Space Junk Harms Digital Systems B．Artists’ Proposal to Save Space
C．A New Glimpse into Outer Space D．Test of Waste Collection Nets

At the start of nearly every doctor’s visit, chances are that you will be asked to get your weight measured. But many conversations around weight have become an obstacle, not a help, in the campaign to make people healthier. Doctors’ recommendations to drop pounds are still extremely common, even though using body size as a one-size-fits-all way can lead to ignorance of the complexity of an individual’ s particular physiology.
Many studies have shown heavier people are at higher risk for high blood pressure, diabetes and other diseases. But the big picture is not the whole picture. Researchers have identified some fat people considered to be “metabolically healthy”. However, one interesting report published in 2016 found that unhealthy thin people were twice as likely to get diabetes as healthy fat people. Clearly, although the association between being overweight and disease is very real, individual experience can vary greatly and depends on personal physiology and behavior.
Despite such findings, among the more terrible effects of weight-central health care are the increased shame experienced by the overweight. The well-reported experience of numerous fat people is that doctors often set weight loss without examining them. Research over the past two decades has shown that health professionals have negative attitudes toward fat people. Not only that but doctors’ appointments with fat patients are shorter on average, and some refuse to see these patients at all, as the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported in 2011. Such prejudiced practices keep people from regular annual exams and prevent the detection of serious hidden conditions.
To practice evidence-based medicine, doctors should stop relying on weight alone as an indicator of health and quickly setting out weight loss to treat health diseases. Instead, doctors should focus on behavioral changes to improve health outcomes. People of all sizes are entitled to evidence-based treatments and keep them healthy.
28．What is the underlined phrase “a one-size-fits-all way” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A．An alternative way. B．A temporary way.
C．A unique solution. D．A perfect solution.
29．What can be learned from Paragraph 2?
A．Each heavy individual is at higher risk for diseases.
B．Fat people are considered to be metabolically healthy.
C．Not all fat people suffer high blood pressure or diabetes.
D．Thin people were twice as likely to get diabetes as fat ones.
30．How does the author convince us of the effects of weight-central health care?
A．By listing figures. B．By quoting opinions.
C．By giving examples. D．By making comparisons.
31．Which can be the best title of this passage?
A．Weight Shame. B．Weight Loss, Health gains.
C．Weight Effects. D．Only Weight Is Not Enough.

D
On numerous drives with my mom through my childhood, she would suddenly pull over the car to examine a flower by the side of the road or rescue a beetle (甲虫) from danger while I, in my late teens and early twenties, sat impatiently in the car.
Though Mother's Day follows Earth Day, for me, they have always been related to each other. My mom has been ''green'' since she became concerned about the environment. Part of this habit was born of thrift(节俭). Like her mother and her grandmother before her, mom saves glass jars, empty cheese containers and reuses her plastic bags.
Mom creates a kind of harmonious relationship with wildlife in her yard. She knows to pick the apples on her trees a little early to avoid the bears and that if she leaves the bird feeders out at night, it is likely that they will be knocked down by a family of raccoons(浣熊). Spiders that make their way into the house and are caught in juice glasses will be set loose in the garden.
I try to teach my children that looking out for the environment starts with being aware of the environment. On busy streets, we look for dandelions(蒲公英)to fly in the wind; we say hello to neighborhood cats and pick up plastic cups and paper bags. This teaching comes easily, I realize, because I was taught so well by example. Mom didn’t need to lecture; she didn't need to beat a drum to change the world. She simply slowed down enough to enjoy living in it and with that joy came mercy and an instinct(直觉)for protection.
I am slowing down and it isn't because of the weight of my nearly forty years on the planet, it is just out of my concern for the planet itself. I've begun to save glass jars and reuse packing envelopes. I pause in my daily tasks to watch the squirrels race each other in the trees above my house.
Last summer, I planted tomatoes in my yard. With the heat of August around me, I enjoyed my tomatoes while sitting on my low wall. I immediately wanted to share with my mom.
32．Why does the author say Earth Day is connected with Mother's Day?
A．Because Mother's Day falls shortly after Earth Day.
B．To stress that all the older women are environmentalists.
C．To stress how much her mother cares about the environment.
D．Because her mother asks her to be kind to nature on Mother’s Day.
33．Which of the following is NOT related to Mom's ''green life''?
A．Picking dandelions on busy streets.
B．Rescuing a beetle from some danger.
C．Setting a caught spider free in the garden.
D．Saving glass jars and empty cheese containers.
34．We can infer from the article that ________.
A．the author's mother is very impatient with her children
B．The author's mother knows how to live in harmony with nature
C．the author's mother knows how to keep the wildlife off her yard
D．the author's mother used to lecture her to protect the environment
35．The change order of the writer's attitude towards her mom's behavior should be ________.
A．doubtful—critical—positive B．approving—doubtful—negative
C．understanding—critical—approving D．negative—understanding—approving

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
You probably already know that exercising is necessary to preserve muscle strength, keep your heart strong, and help you keep a healthy body weight. 36． “There’s a lot of science behind this,” says Dr. Scott McGinnis, an instructor at Harvard Medical School.
Exercise improves your memory and thinking skills both directly and indirectly. It acts directly on the brain by encouraging the growth of new blood vessels (血管) in the brain. 37． Besides, many studies have suggested that the parts of the brain that control thinking and memory are larger in size in people who exercise than in people who don’t.
Exercise can also improve memory and thinking skills indirectly. 38．
