Ive been in Mexico five years, many friends know me, but very few know that I am from Guangxi, Qiu said. I am going to do everything possible so that my birthplace becomes a place that helps develop the tourism and the human relations between our two countries, Qiu added.In 2017, 520 million tourists visited Guangxi, including 5 million foreigner visitors.21. The passage wants to tell us _.A. Guangxi is attracting more and more foreign visitorsB. Guangxi is trying to sell tourism to Mexican visitorsC. Guangxi is developing its tourism for all the visitorsD. Guangxi has best natural and cultural attractions in China 22. According to the passage, which of the following statement is correct?A. Lin Bin and ambassador Qiu were both born in Guangxi.B. Tourism will help to improve the relations between Chinese and Mexican.C. Zuojiang Huashan is famous for its unusually-shaped green hills.D. In 2017, more than 10% tourists to Guangxi were foreigners.BIn the Hollywood movie The Martian, actor Matt Damon plays an astronaut who grows food on Mars（火星）to survive alone on the red planet.After seeing the movie, Washington State University physicist Michael Allen and University of Idaho food scientist Helen Joyner decided to carry out a case study helping students figure out how to farm on Mars. In the case study, students have to imagine they are mining（采矿） on Mars and decide how to feed themselves there before starting on the journey. They get advice from Allen and Joyner on how to select crops and take the challenges of growing crops over long periods on Mars. Students use a scoring system to select three foods to plant on Mars.Allen found the results impressive: among 30 students, “no two people have ever gotten the same answer”, he said.Human travelers to Mars will likely have to make use of resources on the planet rather than take everything they need with them on a spaceship. This means farming their own food on another planet, one that has a very different ecosystem (生态系统) from Earths.One challenge for those who would like to live on Mars is the fact that there can be no farming tools. Like real astronauts, students taking part in the study cannot take a lot of farming tools with them. As Joyner put it to his student astronauts, “You are starting with nothing.”Besides, students also have to deal with a very limited choice of diet. “If I had to eat a single food for the rest of my life, could I do it?” Joyner asked.But Allen believes the case study is about more than farming and eating on the Red Planet.“Im not teaching about growing food on Mars,” Allen said. “Im teaching about living with choices. Im teaching about problem solving.”23. In the case study, students have to _.A. watch the movie to know the conditions on MarsB. decide which crop to grow on Mars with the help of the teachersC. design different types of diets on Mars for them to chooseD. understand how to farm on Mars with their favorite farming tools24. Michael Allen thinks that the case study _.A. increases students knowledge about farming B. helps student know more about MarsC. develops students skills of solving problemsD. teaches students how to make proper choices25. The passage is mainly intended _.A. to describe a research on how to farm on MarsB. to prepare us to deal with problems on MarsC. to teach us how to survive on Mars aloneD. to introduce a Hollywood movie, The MartianCA
