22．（8分）It’s not every day that United States history mixes with microbes (微生物) in the soil. But when the grassland on the National Mall in Washington, D．C．was replaced, it offered scientists the opportunity to study changes in the soil beneath.
The work focused on the bacteria present in the soil. To the researchers’ surprise, the communities of microbes did not change a lot before and after the replacement. These communities in the soil are known as the soil microbiome (微生物群).
“My lab is interested in how microbes can move around in the environment , and how they change and adapt as a result of this movement,” explains Jo Anne Crouch, the lead author of the study. “We thought that the new ‘imported ’turf (草皮) from New Jersey would introduce different communities of bacteria to the National Mall. However, we found that they weren’t significantly different.”
Crouch’s work focused on turf grass ，defined as a large area of green grass. It is made up of the grass, its roots, and the soil and microbes found with them.
Think of the soil microbiome as similar to the collection of microbes found in the human body. When the microbes are out of balance , it can make someone sick. Crouch says it’s the same for the soil microbiome. Many of the worst diseases in crops or other environments are linked with changes in the soil microbiome.
Additionally, Crouch says that even though the changes between the soils were small, scientists are also starting to appreciate that sometimes a really important microbe is a rare one. This means it would be hard to observe but could greatly affect how the groups function as a whole. “Agricultural areas and other natural spaces are highly and easily hurt by negative changes,” she says. “Microbiomes offer an almost entirely new opportunity to influence interactions among plants and microbes to improve plant productivity and health. ”
1、Why did the researchers feel surprised when they focused on the bacteria in the soil?
A．More bacteria appeared in the soil.
B．Microbes were replaced obviously.
C．Soil microbiome almost remained stable.
D．The soil microbiomes damaged the environment.
2、By studying the turf grass , what did Crouch and her team find?
A．Microbes grew faster in their own community.
B．Soil microbiomes were different in different places.
C．Turf grass adapted to the environment nearby very soon.
D．Similar communities of bacteria were brought by turf grass.
3、Why did the author mention the microbes in the human body?
A．To indicate the two play a similar role.
B．To prove they are both the causes of diseases.
C．To examine the environments people live in.
D．To analyze the changes of human microbes.
4、What does Crouch mean in the last paragraph?
A．Microbes are still as hard to observe as before.
B．Studies on microbiomes can be beneficial to agriculture.
C．Scientists are still puzzled about the effect of microbiomes.
D．Too many microbiomes in the soil mean no harm to plants.

24．（8分）Having three cancer patients in the same household can turn a whole family upside down. Michelle Bruce, her husband, Jeremy, and their son, Holden, all had cancer. The family moved to Michelle’s hometown of Franklin, Nebraska six years ago, so her parents could help.
Doctors found Holden’s brain tumor(肿瘤), when he was 12 years old. His family was living in a small town at the time, but there were related doctors in the state. Holden had two operations in Omaha clinic, both of which were tough.
When Holden’s cancer came back again in 2012, nothing could be done. But the family didn’t give up. They reached out to Boston Children’s Hospital, which has better equipment and doctors with more experience operating on kids. After looking at Holden’s records, the doctor sent back her diagnosis: She was confident that she could remove the tumor.

The family was beyond relieved, until they learned insurance wouldn’t cover any of the operation’s costs. The operation would cost $39,000 — more than the parents could afford. The family got desperate.
In a town of just 1,000 people, however, word traveled fast. Within days, a local woman Michelle had never met in person called to say she was planning an event to raise money for Holden. Michelle was touched.
The event was uplifting. Finally, the town raised $45,000 – enough to cover not just Holden’s hospital bills, but for Michelle and Jeremy’s trip to Boston with their son. “I just didn’t know what to say,” said Michelle. “Nobody could really believe it.”
Holden’s operation went much more smoothly than the first two. He is cancer-free and now is attending Central Community College-Hastings on a full-ride scholarship.
1、Where did Michelle’s parents live?
A．Florida. B．Boston.
C．Omaha. D．Franklin.
2、Why did Holden’s family go to Boston Children’s hospital?
A．Because it was near their home.
B．Because it had better equipment and doctors.
C．Because the medical expense there was cheaper.
D．Because they were familiar with the doctors there.
3、What was the feeling of the family when they learned the operation’s cost?
A．They were in despair.
B．They were very delighted.
C．They were very surprised.
D．They remained calm.
4、What is the best title of the passage?
A．World’s Best Cancer Doctors
B．Brave Boy Who Conquered His Cancer
C．1,000 People Saved A Teen’s Life
D．Country’s Welfare System Shined
25．（10分） The Governor’s School is described as a unique opportunity for high school students to involve themselves in math, science, and technology. When I signed up for computer programming, I expected to learn about coding (编程). However, what I didn’t expect was that I would also learn how to build strong friendships.
Just before I went there, I didn't know what to expect in the school, feeling quite at a loss. A sense of uncertainty about my future was flooding over me. On the first day, the students awkwardly moved around at the opening ceremonies Although it is embarrassing to admit, I hadn't been able to succeed in my friendship in the past because I was too focused on myself. This time, I got rid of the desire to share personal stories and instead was eager to ask others about themselves.
After sunset on the second night, I heard three girls trying to recall the schedule for an upcoming museum trip. After effective communication, I knew they were Bree, Megan and Avery. Bree and Avery were in environmental science， and Megan was studying mathematics.
We had a lot in common among us four, such as our love for movies, which strengthened our friendships. Meanwhile, we were able to introduce each other to new activities. Bree introduced us to anime (日本动漫). Enthusiastically, Megan encouraged us to play tennis. Avery and I kept the other two motivated to work out at the gym. The fact that none of us was particularly skilled with e
