An 11-year-old boy has become a hero since his quick thinking saved two lives. Davyon Johnson helped save a choking classmate and a woman attempting to escape a fire. On Dec. 8, 2021 the Muskogee County Sheriff’s Department honored Johnson for his heroics at a meeting. At the event, Undersheriff Greg Martin gave the sixth-grader a certificate naming him an honorary deputy for the Muskogee County Sheriff’s Office. “We are all so proud of you, Johnson!!” wrote the sheriff’s office in a post on Facebook on Dec. 14, 2021.
The Muskogee Public Schools recognized Davyon Johnson during the meeting Tuesday. Principal Latricia Dawkins considered Johnson a hero in an interview. “He always says that he wants to be an emergency medical technician. So he put that desire into action and immediately saved that young man,” Dawkins said, adding that Johnson “is just a kind soul and liked by students and teachers”.
The first incident happened during the school day. Johnson jumped into action after one of his classmates accidentally swallowed a water bottle cap and was choked (窒息) by it after attempting to unscrew (拧开) it with his mouth. Johnson immediately ran to the child and performed the Heimlich maneuver. Dawkins said, “From the account of the witnesses, when he did it, the bottle cap came out.” Johnson said he learned how to do the Heimlich maneuver on YouTube, and suggested others do the same.
Johnson’s heroism didn’t end there. After school, during the day after he saved his classmate, Johnson spotted a woman attempting to escape from a burning home. He quickly realized the worried woman was moving slowly and ran across the street to help her. “She was a disabled lady and being a good citizen, I should help her leave,” Johnson said.
LaToya, the boy’s mother, said, “I don’t feel surprised at my son’s actions. I’m just a proud mom.”

New research has revealed something amazing: it appears that plants can communicate after all.
It has been known for some time that plants use chemicals to communicate with each other. This happens when a plant, say a bean plant, gets attacked by insects. The plant releases tiny amounts of chemicals from the leaves that are being eaten. This is like a warning, or a call for help: “I’m being attacked!” When another bean plant detects the chemicals from its injured neighbour, it starts to release its own, different chemicals. Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others attract insects—the wasps (黄蜂)! The wasps kill the insects that are eating the bean plants. Scientists hope tolearn more about this plant warning system, so that we can use it to grow crops without pesticides.
More surprisingly, plants also use sound to communicate. People can’t hear these sounds, but plants are making them. Some plants make noises with their roots. Con and chilli plants do this. They also “listen” to the noises from other plants. A chilli plant can tell if a neighbouring plant is helpful, or unfriendly. Some trees make clicking noises when there is not enough water, indicating drought is arriving.
Most surprisingly of all, plants have an amazing system of communication that can link nearly every plant in a forest. Scientists call this system the “wood wide web”. It is in some ways similar to the Internet we use. While the Intenet is a worldwide network of computers linked by cables and satellites, the wood wide web is linked underground by fungi (真菌).This fungal network links the roots of different plants to each other. Using the wood wide web, plants can share information and even food with each other. For example,some pine trees can send food to smaller pine trees to help them grow. But just like our own Intemet, the wood wide web has its own version of “cyber crime”. Plants can steal food from each other, or spread poisons to attack other plants. Perhaps one day scientists will learn how to create a “firewall” to help prevent these attacks within the wood wide web.
Scientists are learning more every day about the secret ways in which plants talk to each other. Who knows Maybe one day we will know enough about plant communication to be able to “talk” with them ourselves.
8. What can we infer from paragraph 2 and 3
A. A bean plant may release its own different chemicals to drive insects away.
B. A bean plant can only attract wasps to kill the harmful insects.
C. Scientists have learned more about this plant warning system.
D. Most plants can make noises and listen to noises.
9. What is the main idea of paragraph 4
A. The “wood wide web” is in some ways similar to the Internet we use.
B. The “wood wide web” has its own version of “cyber crime”.
C. Plants have an amazing system of communication that can nearly cover a forest.
D. Scientists will create a “firewall” to protect the wood wide web from attacks.
10. What is the author’s attitude to mastering the secret ways in which plants talk
A. Worried. B. Uninterested. C. Optimistic. D. Pessimistic.
11. What is the best title of this passage
A. The secret language of plants
B. The benefits of plants’ talking
C. How plants communicate with each other
D. How plants communicate with people
D
Countries around the globe are spending billions of dollars and lots of time on various space missions, whether to Mars or other planets much further away. Some people argue that we should stop wasting time and money exploring space. Instead, we should feed the poor and find immediate solutions to other problems, such as pollution and fatal diseases. However, others feel this is a shallow view which fails to realize how exploring space helps us.
Firstly, exploring space has already made a difference in the fight against world hunger. It has directly resulted in the many satellites that now orbit Earth. A number of the satellites record data on land and weather patterns. Then the data is transmitted to scientists on Earth. After careful analysis, the scientists can provide useful recommendations and advice for farmers. As a result, space-based science has helped farming in its efforts to grow enough food to feed Earth’s increasing population.
Secondly, space exploration has already promoted technological improvements that benefit us all. High-end products around the world are made to a higher standard now because of advanced technology which was first created to meet the requirements for space exploration. For example, space technologies have helped the research and development of different types of new material. They have also helped companies make better heart monitors and other machines that doctors regularly use. Today, space technologies are widely used in all kinds of industries, and everyday products, such as memory foam pillows and smartphone cameras, are changing our lives.
Finally, sending astronauts into space has helped people to think about the world’s problems and even to find ways to solve them. Seeing pictures of our planet as an island in a black sea made people realize that our planet’s resources are limited. In order to provide for such a rapidly increasing population, scientists are trying to find other planets that could one day be our new home. The greatest attention at present is on Mars because it is closer to Earth. In the future humans may live on both planets.
In closing, exploring space provides the world with many different benefits. Therefore, it should continue so as to provide new and better solutions to people’s short-term and long-term problems.
12. What will the writer go on to say next
A. How to send many more satellites into space.
B. When to live on Mars.
C. How to use space technologies to make everyday products.
D. How to go on exploring space.
13. What did help the research and development of different types of new material
A. Space technologies.
B. Many weather satellites.
C. Excellent astronauts.
D. Billions of dollars and lots of time.
14 Which one of the following can’t be learnt about according to this passage
A. Scores of the satellites record data on land and weather patterns.
B. Most people argue that we’d stop wasting time and money exploring space.
C. Space technologies are widely used in all kinds of industries.
D. Human beings may live on both planets someday.
15. What does the underlined phrase “In closing” in the last paragraph mean
A. Most importantly. B. In addition. C. To conclude. D. What’s worse.

Countries around the globe are spending billions of dollars and lots of time on various space missions, whether to Mars or other planets much further away. Some people argue that we should stop wasting time and money exploring space. Instead, we should feed the poor and find immediate solutions to other problems, such as pollution and fatal diseases. However, others feel this is a shallow view which fails to realize how exploring space helps us.
Firstly, exploring space has already made a difference in the fight against world hunger. It has directly resulted in the many satellites that now orbit Earth. A number of the satellites record data on land and weather patterns. Then the data is transmitted to scientists on Earth. After careful analysis, the scientists can provide useful recommendations and advice for farmers. As a result, space-based science has helped farming in its efforts to grow enough food to feed Earth’s increasing population.
Secondly, space exploration has already promoted technological improvements that benefit us all. High-end products around the world are made to a higher standard now because of advanced technology which was first created to meet the requirements for space exploration. For example, space technologies have helped the research and development of different types of new material. They have also helped companies make better heart monitors and other machines that doctors regularly use. Today, space technologies are widely used in all kinds of industries, and everyday products, such as memory foam pillows and smartphone cameras, are changing our lives.
Finally, sending astronauts into space has helped people to think about the world’s problems and even to find ways to solve them. Seeing pictures of our planet as an island in a black sea made people realize that our planet’s resources are limited. In order to provide for such a rapidly increasing population, scientists are trying to find other planets that could one day be our new home. The greatest attention at present is on Mars because it is closer to Earth. In the future humans may live on both planets.
In closing, exploring space provides the world with many different benefits. Therefore, it should continue so as to provide new and better solutions to people’s short-term and long-term problems.
12. What will the writer go on to say next
A. How to send many more satellites into space.
B. When to live on Mars.
C. How to use space technologies to make everyday products.
D. How to go on exploring space.
13. What did help the research and development of different types of new material
A. Space technologies.
B. Many weather satellites.
C. Excellent astronauts.
D. Billions of dollars and lots of time.
14. Which one of the following can’t be learnt about according to this passage
A. Scores of the satellites record data on land and weather patterns.
B. Most people argue that we’d stop wasting time and money exploring space.
C. Space technologies are widely used in all kinds of industries.
D. Human beings may live on both planets someday.
15. What does the underlined phrase “In closing” in the last paragraph mean
A. Most importantly. B. In addition. C. To conclude. D. What’s worse.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇论说文。主要阐述探索太空的好处。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“In closing, exploring space provides the world with many different benefits. Therefore, it should continue so as to provide new and better solutions to people’s short-term and long-term problems.(总之，探索太空给世界带来了许多不同的好处。因此，它应该继续下去，以便为人们的短期和长期问题提供新的更好的解决办法)”可知，文章最后总结“探索太空确实有诸多好处”。由此推知，下文应就如何去探索太空展开论述。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“For example, space technologies have helped the research and development of different types of new material.(例如，太空技术有助于研究和开发不同类型的新材料)”可知，太空技术帮助了不同类型新材料的研发。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“Some people argue that we should stop wasting time and money exploring space.(有些人认为，我们应该停止浪费时间和金钱探索太空)”可知，B项“Most people argue that we’d stop wasting time and money exploring space.(大多数人认为我们应该停止浪费时间和金钱探索太空)”不能从文中得知。故选B。
【15题详解】
词义猜测题。根据前面二、三、四段逐项列举探索太空的好处可知，最后一段对上文进行总结，由此推测In closing意为“最后”。A. Most importantly.更重要的是；B. In addition.此外；C. To conclude.最后；D. What’s worse.更糟糕的是。故选C。

【详解】1.考查不定式。句意：著名的环保主义者金教授上周五应邀在我们学校做了一次演讲。sb. be invited to do是固定短语，意为“某人被邀请做某事”，故在invited后加to。
2.考查冠词。句意：他从一个被普遍接受的解释地球起源的理论开始。universally是辅音音素开头的单词，因此前面的不定冠词用a，故将an改为a。
3.考查形容词。句意：很久以前，地球上有这么多种生物，这使我们感到震惊。主语We是人，用ed结尾的形容词shocked修饰，意为“震惊的”，故将shocking改为shocked。

8.考查宾语从句。句意：它决定了我们将来是否能继续生活在这个星球上。根据语境可知，此处表示我们应该重视保护环境，这决定了我们将来是否能继续生活在这个星球上，“是否”是if/whether，引导宾语从句，故将that改为if/whether。
9.考查物主代词。句意：他的演讲给我留下了深刻的印象。由前面的He可知，Professor Jin是男的，因此“他的”要用his，故将her改为his。
10.考查宾语从句。句意：我认为保护我们唯一的家园很重要。“it is important to protect our only home”是宾语从句，从句中不缺成分，且意思完整，因此用that引导，that可省略，动词think后直接跟宾语从句，of是多余的，故去掉of。

Thank you for your listening.
【答案】One possible version
Hello, boys and girls,
I’m Li Hua from Class 3, Senior 2. As Thanksgiving is drawing near, I’d like to express my gratitude for my parents.
As we all know, it is a traditional virtue to be grateful to others. In my opinion, the people we should thank most are our parents. Without parents’ care and love, we couldn’t have grown up healthily and happily. They always do whatever they can to help us. When it comes to how to thank them, I think it is important for us to be polite to our parents. What’s more, we should try to spare some time to communicate with them every day and do whatever we can to help them.
Let’s take action to show our love. Thank you for your listening.
