The Biggest Stadiums in the World
People have been pouring into stadiums since the days of ancient Greece. In around 80 A.D., the Romans built the Colosseum, which remains the world’s best known stadium and continues to inform contemporary design. Rome’s Colosseum was 157 feet tall and had 80 entrances, seating 50,000 people. However, that was small fry compared with the city’s Circus Maximus, which accommodated around 250,000 people.
These days, safety regulations-not to mention the modern sports fan’s desire for a good view and comfortable seat—tend to keep stadium capacities（容量） slightly lower. Even soccer fans tend to have a seat each; gone are the days of thousands standing to watch the match.
For the biggest stadiums in the world, we have used data supplied by the World Atlas list so far, which ranks them by their stated permanent capacity, as well as updated information from official stadium websites.
All these stadiums are still functional, still open and still hosting the biggest events in world sport.
·Rungrado 1st of May Stadium, Pyongyang D.P.R. Korea. Capacity: 150,000. Opened: May 1,1989.
·Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor, Michigan, U. S. Capacity: 107,601. Opened: October 1, 1927.
·Beaver Stadium, State College, Pennsylvania, U. S. Capacity: 106,572. Opened: September 17, 1960.
·Ohio Stadium, Columbus, Ohio, U. S. Capacity: 104,944. Opened: October 7,1922.
·Kyle Field, College Station, Texas, U. S. Capacity: 102,512. Opened: September 24, 1927.
1. How many people could the Circus Maximus hold
A. 104,944. B. 107,601. C. About 150,000. D. About 250,000.
2. Of the following stadiums, which is the oldest
A. Michigan Stadium. B. Beaver Stadium. C. Ohio Stadium. D. Kyle Field.
3. What do the listed stadiums have in common
A. They host big games. B. They have become tourist attractions.
C. They were built by Americans. D. They are favored by architects.
【答案】1. D 2. C 3. A

Four years ago, Rome Leykin was on his way to work when he accidentally fell onto the tracks of Brooklyn's train as a subway was approaching. The incident resulted in the loss of both of his legs.
But surprisingly, with the loss of his legs, Leykin gained a new passion for racing. Before his accident, he wasn't really that athletic. He would just occasionally play basketball. But that all changed after he was introduced to hand cycling. “When I saw it, I was like, ‘Oh, this is great. You don't even need legs to use it. This is perfect.’” he said. “So, I got on it, I rode and fell in love with it right away.”
Within a few months, he completed the TD Five Boro Bike Tour. a 40-mile ride through New York City. After that, he did his first marathon in 2021. He fished that race in 2 hours and 11 minutes, placing 12th out of 38.
“I'm going to attend this year's marathon and take on challenges. My hands are on the wheel, my eyes are focused, and I think my time is going to speak for itself.” he said. He's made a significant commitment to training. He hand cycles at least 13.1 miles a couple times a week and spends a lot of time in the gym.
And he plans to keep pursuing his athlete goals. He wants to complete the Abbott Six-the world's six largest marathons. One day, he said, he'll maybe even make the Paralympics.
For those who might be following his journey, he hopes they will take some lessons from his story. “There will be ups and downs but the trend is what's important. Focus on the good,” he said. “And also, take your big problems and split them into small solutions. And then all of a sudden, your big problems turn into many small wins.”
4. What can we learn about Rome Leykin from paragraph 2
A. He once was an excellent basketball player.
B. He considered hand cycling difficult in the beginning.
C. He made hand cycling more popular among the disabled.
D. He showed an interest in hand cycling the moment he saw it.
5. How did Rome Leykin feel about the coming marathon
A. Worried. B. Curious. C. Confident. D. Nervous.
6. Which of the following can best describe Rome Leykin
A. Easy-going and reliable. B. Kind-hearted and helpful.
C. Open-minded and creative. D. Strong-willed and ambitious.
7. What message does Rome Leykin convey in the last paragraph
A. Stick to your dreams. B. Break down your goals.
C. Focus on your strengths. D. Achieve success at all costs.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. B
【解析】

First impressions can set a lasting tone, but there is often something doubtful. Psychologists have documented a phenomenon known as the liking gap, whereby two people meeting for the first time routinely underestimate how much their counterparts (对应方) like them. A new study finds that the liking gap occurs in group settings too and affects how well groups function.
In one experiment, the researchers divided 159 participants into groups of three and asked them to have a conversation. They then surveyed the participants individually about how much they liked each of their partners, how much they thought each partner liked them, and how much they thought their partners liked each other. On average, people liked their partners more than they believed their partners liked them, and thought themselves to be the least liked in the group.
In a subsequent experiment, the researchers asked similar questions of engineering students who had worked together in design competitions for varying lengths of time. Here, too, people tended to underestimate the degree to which they were liked, regardless of how long they had known their teammates — and their dim views of their own likability reduced their willingness to ask others for help, give honest feedback, and work together in the future.
A final experiment involving a broad sample of workers showed that the misperceptions (误解) were strongest among teammates and that they decreased team effectiveness and job satisfaction. It also found a possible explanation for the liking gap: People tend to focus on positive thoughts when reflecting on how much they like someone else “(I’m happy that she got a promotion”) but fall victim to more negative ones when considering how others view them ( “I got a promotion, so she might be green with envy”).
Managers should think carefully not just about how teammates regard one another but about how team members think they themselves are regarded, the researchers say; correcting misperceptions could boost team satisfaction and performance. “If only people knew how positively their teammates actually felt about them, they might communicate better, feel more included on their teams, and be happier overall with their jobs,” they write.
8. What does the liking gap refer to
A. A type of social anxiety disorder. B. Love among different age groups.
C. Misjudging others’ opinions of us. D. Holding back others’ evaluations.
9. What did the experiment in paragraph 2 reveal
A. People did not like to give honest comments.
B. People tended to think little of their partners.
C. People were quite demanding towards others.
D. People were not very confident about themselves.
10. What does the underlined word “dim” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Conflicting. B. Negative. C. Conventional. D. Strong.
11. What do the researchers suggest managers stress
A. Employees’ viewpoints on themselves.
B. The relationship between team members.
C. Employee promotion and job satisfaction.
D. Communication between leaders and employees.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。两个人第一次见面时，通常会低估对方对自己的喜欢程度。一项新的研究发现，喜欢的差距也发生在群体环境中，并影响群体的功能。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Psychologists have documented a phenomenon known as the liking gap, whereby two people meeting for the first time routinely underestimate how much their counterparts (对应方) like them.(心理学家记录了一种被称为“喜欢差距”现象，即两个人第一次见面时，通常会低估对方对自己的喜欢程度。)”可知，“喜欢差距”指的是误判别人对我们的看法。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“On average, people liked their partners more than they believed their partners liked them, and thought themselves to be the least liked in the group.(平均而言，人们更喜欢他们的伴侣，而不是他们认为他们的伴侣喜欢他们，并认为自己是最不喜欢的组。)”可知，实验表明人们不认为他们的伴侣喜欢他们，而且他们认为自己是最不喜欢的组，由此可推知，人们对自己不是很自信。故选D。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线单词上文“people tended to underestimate the degree to which they were liked, regardless of how long they had known their teammates(不管认识队友多久，人们也倾向于低估自己被喜欢的程度，)”可知，不管认识队友多久，人们也倾向于低估自己被喜欢的程度，这说明他们对自己的可爱程度持有消极的的看法，由此可推知划线单词dim意为“消极的，悲观的”，故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Managers should think carefully not just about how teammates regard one another but about how team members think they themselves are regarded, the researchers say; correcting misperceptions could boost team satisfaction and performance. (研究人员说，管理者不仅应该仔细考虑队友如何看待彼此，还应该考虑队友如何看待他们自己；纠正误解可以提高团队的满意度和绩效。)”可推知，研究人员建议管理者不仅应该仔细考虑队友如何看待彼此，还应该考虑队友如何看待他们自己，即强调员工对自己的看法。故选A。
D
When micro-plastics end up in farm fields, the pollution can damage plant growth. But two young researchers now report that combining fungi (真菌) with certain farm wastes can partly overcome that problem.
May Shin, 20, and Jiwon Choi, 18, met in a research design class at the Fryeburg Academy, a high school in Maine. May had desired to explore how micro-plastics might affect the ecosystem. Jiwon was crazy about plants and fungi. The young scientists cooperated to test how long-lived plastics might affect farm crops.
Scientists have shown certain fungi can aid root growth and a plant’s nutrient uptake. Those organisms are named arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). Certain farm wastes, like straw, can provide nutrients to plants and help stabilize their roots. Such wastes are also known as mushroom substrate (基质) and people often grow mushrooms in them.
May and Jiwon planted over 2,000 scallion (大葱) seeds in pots of soil. Half the seeds got soil polluted with micro-plastics. The rest grew in plastic-free soil. The plants then were further divided into four groups. The young scientists added AMF to the soil in one group. Another group had a top layer of mushroom substrate. A third group got both treatments. The last group got none. For three weeks, the pair tracked how many scallions sprouted (发芽) in each group and measured the plants’ height once each week.
About twice as many scallions sprouted in clean soil compared to that containing plastic bits. But among plants surviving in the polluted soil, a combination of AMF and mushroom substrate helped them out. Those getting both treatments grew 5.4 centimeters per week. That was faster than either of the treatments alone or those getting none.
Jiwon and May then looked at the plant roots with a microscope. Where AMF had been added, it grew into those roots. That increased the scallion roots’ surface area, May said, which should promote their uptake of nutrients. So “I see this project as coming up with a sustainable solution for plant growth in polluted soils,” said May.
12. Why did May and Jiwon work together
A. To see the effects of long-lived plastics on farm crops.
B. To find the relationship between plants and fungi.
C. To design a research on the growth of plants.
D. To explore the way that the ecosystem works.
13. What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 3
A. To prove the existence of micro-plastics. B. To compare fungi with farm wastes.
C. To tell the advantages of farm wastes. D. To provide some related information.
14. What aspect of the study is the fourth paragraph mainly about
A. Its purpose. B. Its design. C. Its findings. D. Its reasons.
15. How can AMF and mushroom substrate make plants grow faster
A. By keeping the plants more resistant to pollution. B. By allowing the plants’ deep area more freedom.
C. By making nutrients more available to the plants. D. By exposing the roots to a larger surface area.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了当微塑料最终进入农田时，污染会损害植物生长。然而，两位年轻的研究人员现在报告说，将真菌与某些农场废物结合起来可以部分克服这个问题。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“May had desired to explore how micro-plastics might affect the ecosystem. Jiwon was crazy about plants and fungi. The young scientists cooperated to test how long-lived plastics might affect farm crops.”（May希望探索微塑料如何影响生态系统。Jiwon痴迷于植物和真菌。这两个年轻的科学家合作测试了塑料对农作物的长期影响。）可知，May和智元在一起工作是因为想观察长寿命的塑料制品对农作物的影响。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Scientists have shown certain fungi can aid root growth and a plant’s nutrient uptake. Those organisms are named arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). Certain farm wastes, like straw, can provide nutrients to plants and help stabilize their roots. Such wastes are also known as mushroom substrate (基质) and people often grow mushrooms in them.”（科学家们已经证明，某些真菌可以帮助根系生长和植物的营养吸收。这些生物被命名为丛枝菌根真菌(AMF)。某些农场废物，如稻草，可以为植物提供营养，帮助稳定它们的根。这些废物也被称为蘑菇基质，人们经常在其中种植蘑菇。）可推知，作者写第3段的目的是提供一些相关信息。故选D项。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“May and Jiwon planted over 2,000 scallion (大葱) seeds in pots of soil. Half the seeds got soil polluted with micro-plastics. The rest grew in plastic-free soil. The plants then were further divided into four groups. The young scientists added AMF to the soil in one group. Another group had a top layer of mushroom substrate. A third group got both treatments. The last group got none. For three weeks, the pair tracked how many scallions sprouted (发芽) in each group and measured the plants’ height once each week.”（May和Jiwon在花盆里种了2000多颗葱籽。一半的种子被微塑料污染了。其余的在无塑料土壤中生长。然后将这些植物进一步分为四组。年轻的科学家们在一组土壤中添加了AMF。另一组的表层是蘑菇基质。第三组同时接受两种实验方法。最后一组没有。在三周的时间里，这对科学家追踪了每一组中发芽的葱的数量，并每周测量一次植物的高度。）可推知，第四段主要讲的是研究设计方面的内容。故选B项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Jiwon and May then looked at the plant roots with a microscope. Where AMF had been added, it grew into those roots. That increased the scallion roots’ surface area, May said, which should promote their uptake of nutrients.”（Jiwon和May用显微镜观察了植物的根。在加入AMF的地方，它就会长成这些根。May说，这增加了葱根的表面积，这应该会促进它们对营养的吸收。）可知，AMF和蘑菇基质是通过将根暴露到更大的表面积从而使植物生长得更快。故选D项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了旅行专家们关于旅行的一些安全措施给出的一些建议。
【16题详解】
根据上文“While travelling, there are many safety measures that all travelers should take, even if they’re heading out a nearby mountain for a camping trip, renting a seaside Airbnb, or choosing any other destination.(旅行时，所有旅行者都应该采取许多安全措施，即使他们要去附近的山上露营，租海边的爱彼迎，或者选择任何其他目的地)”可知，上文提到了外出旅行的情景，结合后文介绍了旅行专家们关于旅行的一些安全措施给出的一些建议。故G选项“关于旅行安全的一切建议都是非常需要的”符合语境，故选G。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Never give in to your curiosity to hike off-trail and in unfamiliar or unmarked areas.(永远不要屈服于你的好奇心，在不熟悉或没有标记的地方徒步旅行)”可知，不熟悉的或没有标记的地方旅行，很容易迷路或者受伤。由此可推断，A选项“你可能会迷路、受伤或两者兼有”切题，故选A。
【18题详解】
根据上文“As the sun reaches its highest point, you’ll start to sweat inside your car. (当太阳到达最高点时，你会在车里开始出汗)”以及下文“That’s why experts recommend packing everything you need to stay comfortable, including clothing for different temperatures.(这就是为什么专家建议带上所有舒适的东西，包括不同温度下的衣服)”可推断，早晨会出汗，晚上温度可能会下降，这样才要带不同温度下的衣服，故E选项“而在晚上，某些区域的度数会急剧下降”起到承上启下的作用，故选E。
【19题详解】
根据上文“While many people have difficulty sleeping, plenty rest is necessary before a long car ride. Do not drive while you are feeling sleepy.(虽然很多人都难以入睡，但在长途乘车前充分的休息是必要的。犯困时不要开车)”可推断，要适当的休息，故D选项“如果你想休息一下，就靠边休息一会儿”符合语境，故选D。
【20题详解】
根据下文“Bahar Schmidt, founder of Eluxit Travel Agency, recommends making more efforts to protect your skin with sunscreen and drugs against insects. (Eluxit旅行社创始人Bahar Schmidt建议，要更加努力地用防晒霜和药物来保护皮肤，防止昆虫叮咬)”可推断，设空处旅行中会有蚊子和昆虫之类的，故F选项“当你晚上在户外时，蚊子也会被吸引”切题，故选F。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
A man came home from work late, tired and irritated (不耐烦的), to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.
"Daddy, may I ask you a question "
"Yeah sure, what is it " replied the man.
"Daddy, how much do you make an hour "
"That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing " the man said angrily.
"I just want to know. Please tell me. How much do you make an hour " pleaded the little boy.
"If you must know, I make $20 an hour."
"Oh," the little boy replied, with his head down. Looking up, he said, "Daddy, may I please borrow $10 "
The father was angry, "If the only reason you asked is that you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish (自私的). I work hard every day for such childish behavior." The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. "How dare he ask such questions only to get some money " he thought to himself. After about an hour or so, the man calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door. "Are you asleep, son " he asked.
"No, daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy.
"I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier," said the man. "It has been a long day and I took out my anger on you. Here's the $10 you asked for."
The little boy sat straight up, smiling. "Oh. Thank you, daddy!" he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled (皱巴巴的) bills.
Paragraph 1:
The man, seeing that the boy already had money started to get angry again.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Not knowing what his son meant, the father just stood there, waiting for his boy's explanation.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
The man, seeing that the boy already had money started to get angry again. "How can you be so selfish Why do you want more money since you already have these bills " the father could hardly hold his anger back and inquired with two eyebrows knitted into one. With held-back tears in his eyes, the little boy slowly and carefully counted out his money, and then looked up at his father, replying, "Because I didn't have enough before, but now I do." with big blue eyes shining with tears.
Not knowing what his son meant, the father just stood there, waiting for his boy's explanation. Wiping away his tears and an innocent smile appearing on his face, the boy requested in a relieved voice, "Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour from you Please come home early tomorrow. I want to have dinner with you." Hearing the boy's small but sincere request, the father couldn't hold back his tears. Realizing he was too busy with his business to spare some time with his beloved ones, he gathered his son into his arms and apologized again and again, "Sorry, and I promise I'll be back early tomorrow."

The Biggest Stadiums in the World
People have been pouring into stadiums since the days of ancient Greece. In around 80 A.D., the Romans built the Colosseum, which remains the world’s best known stadium and continues to inform contemporary design. Rome’s Colosseum was 157 feet tall and had 80 entrances, seating 50,000 people. However, that was small fry compared with the city’s Circus Maximus, which accommodated around 250,000 people.
These days, safety regulations-not to mention the modern sports fan’s desire for a good view and comfortable seat—tend to keep stadium capacities（容量） slightly lower. Even soccer fans tend to have a seat each; gone are the days of thousands standing to watch the match.
For the biggest stadiums in the world, we have used data supplied by the World Atlas list so far, which ranks them by their stated permanent capacity, as well as updated information from official stadium websites.
All these stadiums are still functional, still open and still hosting the biggest events in world sport.
·Rungrado 1st of May Stadium, Pyongyang D.P.R. Korea. Capacity: 150,000. Opened: May 1,1989.
·Michigan Stadium Ann Arbor, Michigan, U. S. Capacity: 107,601. Opened: October 1, 1927.
·Beaver Stadium, State College, Pennsylvania, U. S. Capacity: 106,572. Opened: September 17, 1960.
·Ohio Stadium, Columbus, Ohio, U. S. Capacity: 104,944. Opened: October 7,1922.
·Kyle Field, College Station, Texas, U. S. Capacity: 102,512. Opened: September 24, 1927.
1. How many people could the Circus Maximus hold
A. 104,944. B. 107,601. C. About 150,000. D. About 250,000.
2. Of the following stadiums, which is the oldest
A. Michigan Stadium. B. Beaver Stadium. C. Ohio Stadium. D. Kyle Field.
3. What do the listed stadiums have in common
A. They host big games. B. They have become tourist attractions.
C. They were built by Americans. D. They are favored by architects.

Four years ago, Rome Leykin was on his way to work when he accidentally fell onto the tracks of Brooklyn's train as a subway was approaching. The incident resulted in the loss of both of his legs.
But surprisingly, with the loss of his legs, Leykin gained a new passion for racing. Before his accident, he wasn't really that athletic. He would just occasionally play basketball. But that all changed after he was introduced to hand cycling. “When I saw it, I was like, ‘Oh, this is great. You don't even need legs to use it. This is perfect.’” he said. “So, I got on it, I rode and fell in love with it right away.”
Within a few months, he completed the TD Five Boro Bike Tour. a 40-mile ride through New York City. After that, he did his first marathon in 2021. He fished that race in 2 hours and 11 minutes, placing 12th out of 38.
“I'm going to attend this year's marathon and take on challenges. My hands are on the wheel, my eyes are focused, and I think my time is going to speak for itself.” he said. He's made a significant commitment to training. He hand cycles at least 13.1 miles a couple times a week and spends a lot of time in the gym.
And he plans to keep pursuing his athlete goals. He wants to complete the Abbott Six-the world's six largest marathons. One day, he said, he'll maybe even make the Paralympics.
For those who might be following his journey, he hopes they will take some lessons from his story. “There will be ups and downs but the trend is what's important. Focus on the good,” he said. “And also, take your big problems and split them into small solutions. And then all of a sudden, your big problems turn into many small wins.”
4. What can we learn about Rome Leykin from paragraph 2
A. He once was an excellent basketball player.
B. He considered hand cycling difficult in the beginning.
C. He made hand cycling more popular among the disabled.
D. He showed an interest in hand cycling the moment he saw it.
5. How did Rome Leykin feel about the coming marathon
A. Worried. B. Curious. C. Confident. D. Nervous.
6 Which of the following can best describe Rome Leykin
A. Easy-going and reliable. B. Kind-hearted and helpful.
C. Open-minded and creative. D. Strong-willed and ambitious.
7. What message does Rome Leykin convey in the last paragraph
A. Stick to your dreams. B. Break down your goals.
C. Focus on your strengths. D. Achieve success at all costs.
C
First impressions can set a lasting tone, but there is often something doubtful. Psychologists have documented a phenomenon known as the liking gap, whereby two people meeting for the first time routinely underestimate how much their counterparts (对应方) like them. A new study finds that the liking gap occurs in group settings too and affects how well groups function.
In one experiment, the researchers divided 159 participants into groups of three and asked them to have a conversation. They then surveyed the participants individually about how much they liked each of their partners, how much they thought each partner liked them, and how much they thought their partners liked each other. On average, people liked their partners more than they believed their partners liked them, and thought themselves to be the least liked in the group.
In a subsequent experiment, the researchers asked similar questions of engineering students who had worked together in design competitions for varying lengths of time. Here, too, people tended to underestimate the degree to which they were liked, regardless of how long they had known their teammates — and their dim views of their own likability reduced their willingness to ask others for help, give honest feedback, and work together in the future.
A final experiment involving a broad sample of workers showed that the misperceptions (误解) were strongest among teammates and that they decreased team effectiveness and job satisfaction. It also found a possible explanation for the liking gap: People tend to focus on positive thoughts when reflecting on how much they like someone else “(I’m happy that she got a promotion”) but fall victim to more negative ones when considering how others view them ( “I got a promotion, so she might be green with envy”).
Managers should think carefully not just about how teammates regard one another but about how team members think they themselves are regarded, the researchers say; correcting misperceptions could boost team satisfaction and performance. “If only people knew how positively their teammates actually felt about them, they might communicate better, feel more included on their teams, and be happier overall with their jobs,” they write.
8. What does the liking gap refer to
A. A type of social anxiety disorder. B. Love among different age groups.
C. Misjudging others’ opinions of us. D. Holding back others’ evaluations.

When micro-plastics end up in farm fields, the pollution can damage plant growth. But two young researchers now report that combining fungi (真菌) with certain farm wastes can partly overcome that problem.
May Shin, 20, and Jiwon Choi, 18, met in a research design class at the Fryeburg Academy, a high school in Maine. May had desired to explore how micro-plastics might affect the ecosystem. Jiwon was crazy about plants and fungi. The young scientists cooperated to test how long-lived plastics might affect farm crops.
Scientists have shown certain fungi can aid root growth and a plant’s nutrient uptake. Those organisms are named arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). Certain farm wastes, like straw, can provide nutrients to plants and help stabilize their roots. Such wastes are also known as mushroom substrate (基质) and people often grow mushrooms in them.
May and Jiwon planted over 2,000 scallion (大葱) seeds in pots of soil. Half the seeds got soil polluted with micro-plastics. The rest grew in plastic-free soil. The plants then were further divided into four groups. The young scientists added AMF to the soil in one group. Another group had a top layer of mushroom substrate. A third group got both treatments. The last group got none. For three weeks, the pair tracked how many scallions sprouted (发芽) in each group and measured the plants’ height once each week.
About twice as many scallions sprouted in clean soil compared to that containing plastic bits. But among plants surviving in the polluted soil, a combination of AMF and mushroom substrate helped them out. Those getting both treatments grew 5.4 centimeters per week. That was faster than either of the treatments alone or those getting none.
Jiwon and May then looked at the plant roots with a microscope. Where AMF had been added, it grew into those roots. That increased the scallion roots’ surface area, May said, which should promote their uptake of nutrients. So “I see this project as coming up with a sustainable solution for plant growth in polluted soils,” said May.
12. Why did May and Jiwon work together
A. To see the effects of long-lived plastics on farm crops.
B. To find the relationship between plants and fungi.
C. To design a research on the growth of plants.
D. To explore the way that the ecosystem works.
13. What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 3
A. To prove the existence of micro-plastics. B. To compare fungi with farm wastes.
C. To tell the advantages of farm wastes. D. To provide some related information.
14. What aspect of the study is the fourth paragraph mainly about
A. Its purpose. B. Its design. C. Its findings. D. Its reasons.
15. How can AMF and mushroom substrate make plants grow faster
A. By keeping the plants more resistant to pollution. B. By allowing the plants’ deep area more freedom.
C. By making nutrients more available to the plants. D. By exposing the roots to a larger surface area.

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated (不耐烦的), to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.
"Daddy, may I ask you a question "
"Yeah sure, what is it " replied the man.
"Daddy, how much do you make an hour "
"That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing " the man said angrily.
"I just want to know. Please tell me. How much do you make an hour " pleaded the little boy.
"If you must know, I make $20 an hour."
"Oh," the little boy replied, with his head down. Looking up, he said, "Daddy, may I please borrow $10 "
The father was angry, "If the only reason you asked is that you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish (自私的). I work hard every day for such childish behavior." The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. "How dare he ask such questions only to get some money " he thought to himself. After about an hour or so, the man calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door. "Are you asleep, son " he asked.
"No, daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy.
"I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier," said the man. "It has been a long day and I took out my anger on you. Here's the $10 you asked for."
The little boy sat straight up, smiling. "Oh. Thank you, daddy!" he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled (皱巴巴的) bills.
Paragraph 1:
The man, seeing that the boy already had money started to get angry again.

Not knowing what his son meant, the father just stood there, waiting for his boy's explanation.
