AIt used to be a matter of fact when Peter Pan –a character from James Matthew Barrie‟s 1911 book –said: “All children, except one, grow up.”But this “fact” doesn‟t seem to apply to today‟s world anymore.According to the NPD Group, a US market research company, sales of toys to adults in the UK increased by more than 20 percent in 2016, three times the pace of the children‟s toy market itself. These toys ranged from puzzles and Lego building sets to vehicle models and action figures. And more than half of the sales came from millennials – people born between the 1980s and 2000s.“Adults of the 21st century are channeling (疏导) their inner child, one toy at a time,” commented website Koreaboo. This is also why these adults are sometimes referred to as “kidults”.According to Frederique Tutt, an analyst at NPD, the motivation of these grown-ups is to escape the stress of today‟s fast-paced world. They are driven toward the more immediate pleasures brought by toys than those brought by, say, getting a promotion, which is far less easy to achieve.“It reminds me of the playful side of life,” Rob Willner, a 25-year-old PhD student in the UK, told The Telegraph when talking about his love for Lego, which he said brings him both comfort and entertainment.Despite this, some social scientists see the trend as disturbing. To Frank Furendi, a professor at the University of Kent in the UK, the fact that so many adults are pursuing “the thrills (刺激) of youth” is the evidence that “adulthood has got nothing attractive about it anymore”, he told The New York Times.u “That‟s actually quite sad.”But scientists are probably just worrying too much. According to Canadian comic book artist Todd McFarlane, collecting toys could simply be a way for people to express their individuality (个性).“It‟s just pop culture stuff. It‟s stuff that says, …I like a little of this and I like a little of that‟,” he told ABC News. “[It‟s] no big deal.”So now that over 100 years have passed since Peter Pan, perhaps it‟s time to introduce a new “fact”, as stated in the tagline (品牌宣传词) of the UK fashion brand KIDULT: “Growi ng old is mandatory (强制性的), but growing up is optional.”21. The author mentions Peter Pan in the text mainly to ______.A. show the influence of the character on millennialsB. explore the similarities Peter Pan and millennials shareC. lead up to the trend of millennials‟ love for toysD. analyze what has made many millennials refuse to grow up22. Why do many adults feel like collecting toys, according to Frederique Tutt?A. They find it brings them both comfort and inspiration.B. They consider it a way to relieve stress.C. They want to make up for the pleasures they missed during childhood.D. They usually don‟t get along well in their lives and need an emotional outlet.23. What can we conclude from the article about kidults?A. They are well-known for their pursuit of independence and freedom.B. Social scientists feel worried about them because they take nothing seriously.C. In Todd McFarlane‟s eyes, their interest in toys is a way to express their identity.D. They refuse to make effort s to become promoted at work as they don‟t want to grow up.BFollowing news of the potential for life on the recently-discovered TRAPPIST-1 system, there may be another competitor ready to take its place.With the help of the Cassini spacecraft, NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) scientists have picked up the first evidence that chemical reactions are taking place deep below the surface of Enceladus, Saturn‟s (土星的) sixth-largest moon. This means that there could be life in Enceladus‟ war m underground seas.An early study found that liquid oceans exist miles below Enceladus‟ surface. But to reveal what is happening down there, scientists must rely on the plumes (股) of water that spray (喷射) through cracks in Enceladus‟ icy surface. In Octo ber 2015, NASA sent Cassini into a deep dive into one of the plumes.Cassini‟s findings, published on April 13 in the journal Science, showed that hydrogen (氢) not only exists on Enceladus, but is also responsible for a chemical reaction between hot rocks and water in the ocean beneath its surface.This same process on Earth provides energy for entire ecosystems around volcanic vents (火山口). There, tiny creatures are able to survive without sunlight, using hydrogen and carbon dioxide as fuel in a process k nown as “methanogenesis (甲烷生成)”.The discovery of this chemical energy source on Enceladus means it could be a very good candidate to host life.“Confirmation (确认) that the chemical energy for life exists within the ocean of a small moon of Saturn is an important milestone (里程碑) in our search for habitable (可居住的) worlds beyond Earth,” Linda Spilker, Cassini project scientist at NASA, told the Daily Mail.Alien life was once only thought possible on habitable planets within the “Goldilocks zone” – far enough from our sun not to be a fireball, but not so far as to be freezing.Research on Enceladus is still in its early stages, but the recent findings have important meanings for future exploration.“At present, we know of only one genesis (诞生) of life, the o ne that led to us,” David Rothery, professor of planetary geosciences (行星与地球科学) from the Open University in the UK, told The Telegraph.“If we knew that life had started independently in two places in our solar system, then we could be pretty confident that life also got started on some of the tens of billions of planets and moons around other stars in our galaxy,” he said.24. What is the article mainly about?A. The connection between the TRAPPIST-1 system and Enceladus.B. The potential for life on Sa turn‟s moon, Enceladus.C. The chemical energy source on Enceladus.D. Scientists‟ constant search for life in the solar system.25. Scientists assume that there could be life on Enceladus because ______.A. there is evidence of a warm ocean under Ence ladus‟ surfaceB. hot rocks and water have been discovered on EnceladusC. hydrogen discovered on Enceladus could be a chemical energy sourceD. the entire ecosystems of Enceladus are somewhat similar to those of Earth26. According to David Rothery, the recent findings on Enceladus could mean that ______.A. there is only one genesis of life in our galaxyB. there could be many habitable planets, but all in the “Goldilocks zone”C. it won‟t be long before scientists find a habitable planet beyond Ear thD. alien life could exist on some other planets if it existed on EnceladusCIn life, we will succeed and fail often for reasons that are entirely out of our control. For instance, we can be incredibly nice and love someone deeply, and they may not love us back. We can work harder than anyone else in the office and still not be promoted to management. We can eat healthy food, exercise and stay away from alcohol and cigarettes, and still get sick.The bottom line is that life is not fair.That is a tough pill to swallow for many of us. As a result, some people shut down after being hit by even one unfair blow from life. They can‟t handle the fact that our efforts don‟t always get the results that we expect. But if we let life‟s unfairness defeat us, we will never receive the beautiful blessings (幸事) that life has in store for us.For example, my first marriage ended in divorce. To me, it felt very unfair. I had worked hard to be a good wife and mother. However, no matter what I did, I could not make the relationship work.I could have been shut down by that experience. I could have decided that if one person didn‟t appreciate me as a wife, then no one would. I could have given up. But I knew that I wanted to be married.I knew that I wanted to exper ience traditional family life. So I didn‟t let one seemingly unfair experience stop me from believing that I could one day be happily married. And then one day, I met this kind, thoughtful, generous man with whom I now have a wonderful friendship and marri age. But that wouldn‟t have happened if I had decided to give up after one failed marriage.What I‟ve learned over the years is that we can do all the things that deserve a good outcome, but get bad things in return instead.When we are faced with life‟s seeming unfairness, our faith needs to jump in. When life doesn‟t go according to plan, we have to let go of the outcome that we are looking forward to and keep trying, working hard and doing the right thing. Please don‟t be discouraged. Accept that life is neither fair nor straightforward. And by knowing that if we remain confident, we can drive our unfair experiences away and use them for our benefit.27. We can learn from the first three paragraphs that ______.A. life doesn‟t often turn out the way we expectB. the author thinks life should reward us for our effortsC. unsatisfactory results simply mean your effort is not enoughD. people should focus on the process rather than the outcomes28. The author wrote about her unsuccessful marriage to ______.A. complain about the unfairness of her life and marriageB. tell readers how she met her second husband and became happily marriedC. express how proud she is for not being shut down by a blow from lifeD. show that we need to have faith and continue working for our goals29. When we encounter unfairness in life, the author suggests we ______.a. do nothing but accept themb. be confident with ourselvesc. keep doing what we should dod. find out what has gone wrongA. abB. adC. bcD. cd30. The author wrote the article mainly to ______.A. share her experiences of unfairness in lifeB. tell us how to deal with life‟s seeming unfairnessC. tell us that life has beautiful blessings in store for usD. explain why life seems neither fair nor straightforward第二节（共5小题；每题2分，满分10分）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。
