9、 when I spent six weeks with a host family in the Bernese Alps.On arriving in Erlenbach where my host family live,I knew I couldnt have asked for a better setting: it was such a beautiful mountain village.And I couldnt have asked for a better host family,either.They made me feel like part of their f
10、amily,rather than a touristI joined in my host familys day-to-day activities,whether helping pick berries in the garden or going to friends houses.I wasnt only traveling around Europe seeing the major sights,but I lost myself in a different culture.While many Swiss cultures are similar to Americas,t
11、here are lots of differences,too.For example,most Swiss leave their windows openwithout screensall the time.At first I thought all the bugs(虫子)were going to get in and eat me alive,and wondered why they didnt close the windows and turn on the air conditioner.But then I realized there werent many bug
12、s and I really enjoyed the fresh air.Probably my biggest shock was the language.I expected the Swiss to speak German,but they spoke a dialect called Swiss German,which has hardly anything in common with German.At times I was very frustrated(受挫的)because my three years of German did not help,but my ba
13、d mood did not last.Anyhow,many people knew English and were extremely willing to speak it.Signing up for a cultural exchange was probably the biggest risk I ever took,but it was also the most rewarding. When I left,I promised I would return to Erlenbach.There is more to Switzerland than cheese and
14、watches.21.What the writer liked best about his stay in Switzerland was probably that .A.he made lots of friends in the village B.he felt a great sense of belonging thereC.he enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the Alps D.he played a part in the host familys housework22.How did the writer feel at first
15、 when he found his host family always kept the windows open?A.Relaxed. B.Disappointed. C.Excited. D.Worried.23.Why was the language the writers biggest shock during his exchange visit?A.Because he had thought that the Swiss spoke German.B.Because he found his German not good enough for communication
16、.C.Because the Swiss spoke English so well that he neednt have learned German.D.Because the locals told him that Swiss German was almost the same as German.BIt may appear strange to hear that crops are making headlines.But this is no ordinary producethese fruits and vegetables have been grown in sim
17、ulated(模拟的)Martian and lunar soils!Though the possibility of growing crops in outer space only gained widespread interest after Matt Damon grew potatoes in the movie The Martian,scientists have been testing the idea for many years.Fresh produce will after all be the key to setting up space colonies(
18、殖民地).Among the pioneers in this effort is a team led by Wieger Wamelink,a scientist at Netherlands Wageningen University.In 2013,they planted fourteen varieties of plants in simulated Martian and lunar soils.Though the Mars plants did not bear any produce,they grew better than the lunar plants,most
19、of which died shortly after being planted.Lack of vapor in the soil,according to the scientists,might have accounted for the failure.The second experiment began in late 2015.The researchers selected the same crops,while this time they used larger containers and added grass to them.In March 2016,thei
20、r efforts were rewarded with a variety of produce including the vegetable that kept alive: potatoes.However,the researchers were still not sure if the produce was safe to eat.Thats because the Martian and lunar soils contain heavy metals like lead and arsenic,which do not affect plants but are poiso
21、nous to humans.After months of testing,earlier this week,the team finally confirmed that the produce was safe for human consumption.Some of the crops even contained lower levels of heavy metals than plants grown in the ordinary earth soil.To celebrate the success,the scientists held a dinner party t
22、hat centered ground the crops.While there is no word on how the food tasted,it sure looks delicious.24.Scientists are trying out the idea of growing crops in outer space because .A.the movie has opened up the possibility for the ideaB.soils on the Mars and the moon are similar to the earth soilC.it
23、is of great importance to space exploration in the futureD.it is a good solution to the worlds growing population25.What change was made in the second experiment?A.The shape of the containers. B.The types of the plants.C.The conditions of the soil. D.The temperature of the lab.26.Which of the follow
24、ing might be the best title for the passage?A.Wieger Wamelinka Pioneer in Space Crop Growing B.Space ColoniesFar from PossibleC.Food Safetya Main Public Concern D.Martian and Lunar CropsSafe for HumansCFor centuries people have hunted animals for food and pleasure.The invention of the gun made it so
25、 easy for humans to hunt that some animals were lolled by the thousands and even became extinct(绝种的).This brings up some serious problems since breaks in the food chain upset the balance of nature.Large animals like tigers are being killed by the hundreds every year in India.The Royal Bengal tiger i
26、s the only type that exists in India and their number is greatly reduced every year because of poaching(偷猎).The present number is about 2,000,all of which live in tiger reserves.Two hundred years ago the population was 23,000 or more.During the British rule of India,many of the so-called English gen
27、tlemen killed tigers for pleasure and to show their bravery.This seems stupid because killing an innocent(无辜的)creature with a gun is not a brave deed.Today the tiger skin is very popular.Rich people and fashion designers have no idea what they are doing. Competition between the rich to show off make
28、s them blind to the serious effects.People persuade villagers to kill tigers to get money,and they do it because they are poor and need to feed their families.We must educate them,and the government should give them proper jobs to help solve this problem.The people to blame are those who buy animal
29、products like ivories,furs,tiger bones for medicine and handbags made of animal skins.They must be put behind bars to stop this kind of trade.The earth is home for everyone on it. The trees,animals,birds,and fish of all kinds belong here as much as we do.Only we have the power to change their fate.2

B.Fashion designers.
