remarkable”（引人注目的）和“Itoldtheeditorsoftheschoolnewspaperyoushouldwriteforthem.”（我告诉校报的编辑你应该为他们写文章）；可知老师支持并付出了心血鼓励作者坚持写作，挑战自我可知老师是“inspiring”（鼓舞人的）故选B。【25题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段的前两句“Noway.Theywouldn’ttakeme.Iappliedanyway.”(不可能。他们不会聘用我的。不管怎样我申请了)，可知作者在申请校报编辑的时候，对于结果是完全没有自信心的。故选D。【26题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“ThirteenyearsafterIwrotemyfirstword，threeyearsafterMrs.Agavemethe'goahead',...Eacharticleremindsmeofthelittlegirlwhosaidshe＇dbeeawriter.”（在我写下第一个字的13年之后，在A老师鼓励我“前进”的3年之后，……每一篇文章都让我想起那个说自己要成为作家的小女孩）可知，老师的这句话是在鼓励作者不断尝试新的挑战，成长为更好的自己。故选A。【27题详解】推理判断题。文章第一段回忆了作者孩提时对自己想成为什么样的人感到迷茫。后文描写了在老师的鼓励和帮助下，作者勇敢的尝试了很多看似不可能完成的事情，并在自己一次又一次的尝试中，实现了当作家的梦想，但是前进的脚步永远不会停止。可知作者写文章的目的是来分享她的写作之旅。故选D。CAmaranth(苋菜),anancientplant,isdrawingattentionthroughouttheworldandconnectingindigenouspeople(土著人)totheirhistory.Sincethe1970s,Amaranthhasbeeabilliondollarfoodandmakeupproduct.HealthconsciousshopperswillfinditinrisingnumbersofgrocerystoresintheUSandMexico,and,increasingly,inEuropeandtheAsiaPacific.“Thisisaplantthatcouldfeedtheworld,”saidBeatafromanonprofitorganization.Amaranthisactuallyagrain,likebuckwheat(荞麦).Itsseedisahighlynutritioussourceofprotein,vitaminsandminerals.Asingleamaranthplantproduceshundredsofseeds,andasmallhandfulofseedswillturnintohundredpoundbagsofharvestthenextseason.GrowingamaranthhasprovidedadegreeofeconomicindependenceforindigenousfarmersinGuatemalaandtheUS.The8000yearoldplanttoleratesawidevarietyofclimateconditions.NativetoMesoamerica,itisalsogrowninChina,India,southeastAsia,westAfricaandtheCaribbean.It’sthistoughnessthatallowedtheplanttosurviveoverthecenturies,evenwhentheSpanisharrivedintheAmericasinthe16thcenturyandbannedamaranth.AmaranthfacedanothernearextinctionwhenstateforcesbegantargetingtheMayapeople,andburningtheirfields,duringthecivilwar.Topreservetheirtraditionalfoods,Mayanfarmerspouredseedsintoglassjarstoburyintheirfieldsorhideunderfloorboards.“Whatwewantisforthewholeworldtoproducetheirownfood,”saidMaria,amemberofagriculturalmunityQachuuAloom.“Fortheseeds,distancedoesn’texist.Bordersdon’texist.”Mostrecently,Mariasaidthatduringthepandemic,peoplewiththeirowngardens,especiallyinlockeddownmunities,feltsecureknowingtheyhadcontrolovertheirfoodsupply,thankstoamaranth.Amaranthhaspletelychangedthelivesoffamiliesinourmunities,notonlyeconomically,butspiritually,addedMaria.28.WhatisthemainideaofParagraph1?A.Amaranthisgaininggrowingpopularity.
