B
Isabella, whose mother died two years ago after her long battle with a rare illness, has to
rely on her father as she approaches the pre-teen struggles every girl faces growing up. Yet,
while her father, Philip, has been doing all he can, he has failed to master one skill that remains
important for 11-year-olds such as Isabella: hair.
He originally just gave her a short cut because he didn't know how to do anything else.
Once her hair grew back, however, Isabella learned to make a simple ponytail (马尾) on her
way out the door each morning. It wasn't until she noticed her bus driver, Tracy Dean, braiding
(编)another classmate's hair that Isabella gathered the courage to ask her for help.Dean owes her good relationship with the community she serves to a previous cancer
diagnosis( 诊断). Seven years ago, she found out she had breast cancer, and one of the things
that went through her head was: Who is going to take care of her little ones? Not that her
husband couldn’t do it but that’s what moms do.
Dean's selfless deed has also taken social media by storm, rebuilding people's faith in each
other, while also inspiring others to share their own stories of kind gestures within their own
community.
They say it takes a village to raise a child, and for Isabella, this means she now has a
mother figure to look up to as she grows. “I feel like she's pretty much a mom to me,” Isabella
said “And it makes me excited to see what she can do for me the next day.”
Dean's selfless act has also had an influence on Isabella at school, as her teacher, Mrs.
Freeze, noted that Isabella had her head a little higher that morning after she asked for Dean's
help. While this gesture will surely provide Isabella with the power she needs to remain
positive for years to come, Dean can find great comfort in knowing that her help has made a
lasting influence on Isabella in particular.
34. What was the trouble for Philip when bringing up his daughter?
A. To arrange her long hair. B. To dress her elegant.
C. To communicate with her. D. To help her with her study.
35. What is implied in the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5?
A. Everyone should care about their kid growth.
B. A small deed has made a big difference to Isabella.C. Villagers should help each other in kids’ education.
D. Isabella has to be brought up by her fellow villagers.
36. How did Isabella feel after Dean helped her that morning?
A. Upset B. Amazed C. Awkward D. Confident.
37. What is the author’s attitude about this text?
A. Indifferent B. Skeptical C. Supportive D. Objective
C
Switching on the lights at night is second nature to most people in the developed world.
But electricity isn’t a given in many other parts of the globe.
“A billion people on our planet still lack reliable access to electricity. For them, one of the
central applications of electricity is lighting,” says Aaswath Raman, U.C.L.A. materials
scientist.
Solar cells can provide remote areas with electricity during the day but require batteries to
store that energy for use at night. Raman steam has developed a potential solution: a simple
thermoelectric device that produces power when it s exposed to the cold night sky.
All objects, Raman explains, radiate heat. “So a surface that’s looking up at the night sky
will, all by itself, send out more heat than the sky sends back to it. It escapes to the upper
atmosphere and even out to outer space. And it’s something that anyone can observe at night.
So if you go and measure the roof temperature on your house in the early morning hours, say,
you should read a temperature that is much lower than the immediate surrounding air temperature.”
Raman reasoned that this temperature difference could be employed to produce electricity.
His team built their device using an aluminum disk that acts as a radiative cooler. Its cool side
faces the night sky, while its other side is warmed by the air around it. As heat escapes upwards,
a thermoelectric generator transforms the temperature difference into electricity that powers a
small LED light.
For now, the energy output of the device is just a tiny part of what a solar-cell can produce.
Raman sees the device as a complement to solar, providing inexpensive, 24-hour power
generation for remote areas of the world- without the need for batteries.
In addition to lighting, Raman says the device could be useful for specialized applications,
such as powering wireless sensors and monitoring atmospheric conditions.
38. What makes Raman s device possible?
A. The energy stored in batteries. B. The characteristics of aluminum disk.
C. The low temperature at night. D. Objects’ heat loss to the night sky.
39. What does the underlined word "complement" in Paragraph 6 mean?
A. Solution. B. Replacement. C. Addition. D. Application.
40. Which of the following words can describe the new device?
A. Practical and economical. B. Complex but powerful.
C. Tiny and labor-saving D. Convenient but costly.
41. Why does the author write this text?A. To blame people for wasting electricity.
B. To introduce a new invention to readers.
C. To show the consequences of lacking electricity.
D. To seek financial support for poor countries.
D
Our planet is covered in water. Just 2.5 percent of that water, however, is fresh. Of that,
only about one third is liquid. The rest is locked up as ice. Yet we depend on the fresh water
available for everything.
As climate changes, though, water available changes too. Water, climate and weather are
connected in the water cycle. Scientists use supercomputers to explore the complex ways that
climate change is changing the water cycle. They have found that as climate warms, the
atmosphere holds more water: about 4 percent more for every 1.8 degrees Celsius. From 2002
to 2017, a satellite mission called Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment called GRCE
tracked Earth's water resources from above. A pair of twin satellites was able to "weigh" earth's
water by measuring how much the planet pulls it. If the amount of surface water or even
groundwater changes, so does the pull of gravity at that location. That gravitational pull is
affected by changes in mass( 质 量 ). As the first satellite passed over an area, differences in
gravity slightly changed the distance between the two satellites. Scientists translate those data
into water or ice mass. Then they compare them with historical data to measure changes in
places where water and ice are distributed over time.Data from computers and satellites agree. That is, climate change is changing the
availability of water around the world. In South Africa and many regions, droughts are
becoming more common. In other areas, such as California and Europe, changing rainfall
patterns lead to river flows peaking earlier in the year, followed by water shortages. Meanwhile,
the average rainfall in the United States has actually increased by 5 centimeters (2 inches) since
1895.
42. How does climate warming affect water recycle?
A. More water goes into the atmosphere.
B. More ice melts into liquid.
C. More water spreads on the surface of the earth.
D. It's harder to get underground water.
43. What happens if the amount of surface water changes?
A. Underground water changes too.
B. Gravitational pull at the same place changes too
C. Changes in mass of water happens.
D. The planet pulls the water harder.
44. What conclusion can scientists draw from their research?
A. The water cycle is hard to break.
B. Earth's total water remains the same.C. Climate change can't change the water cycle.
D. Climate change alters the distribution of water resources.
45. What's the passage mainly about?
A. The availability of fresh water on the earth.
B. The causes of climate warming
C. The effect of climate warming on water cycle.
D. The use of modern technology to study climate change.
七选五
How many decisions do you think you make during the average day? Dozens? Hundreds,
perhaps? 46 There are a number of factors that contribute to poor choices.
In order to make decisions quickly and economically, our brains rely on the anchoring
bias(锚定偏见). In many different situations, people use an initial starting point as an anchor
that is then adjusted to work out a final value.
So what can you do to minimize the potential negative effect of anchoring biases on your
decisions? 47 If you are buying a new car, come up with a range of reasonable prices
rather than focusing on the overall average price of a particular vehicle.
48 We assign value according to how items compare to other things. What happens
when you make poor comparisons? For example, if I told you that you could save $25 on a $75
item by driving 15 minutes out of your way you would probably do it. But if I told you that you
could save S25 on a S10,000 item, would you still be willing to go out of your way to save the money? 49
People tend to have a natural-born optimism that can prohibit good decision-making. We
have a tendency to believe that bad things happen to other people, but not to us. 50 Since
we might be overly optimistic about our own abilities, we are more likely to believe that our
decisions are the best ones.
A. Some of these choices turn out to be good.
B. Comparison is another major tool we use when making decisions.
C. Discover how the comparisons you make lead to bad decisions.
D. Experts suggest that just becoming more aware of them can help.
E. So what influence does this optimism bias have on the decisions we make?
F. Reviewing the past, you might wonder why you made those decisions that seem so poor
now.
G: In most cases, people are less willing to travel further to save money on the more expensive
item.

Notice
As we Chinese have achieved a periodical success on combating COVID-19, our
school intends to launch a lecture concerning some heroic deeds from ordinary people who
have fought in the frontline.
What I’d like to inform first is that we will hold the lecture at the school hall, falling on
the very next Sunday. In addition, several representatives from hospitals, communities and
the police will share their own stories in respect to the working experiences during the
special times. Eventually, for the safety of all, it is a rule that everyone should wear a mask
all the time as well as sit with one seat left unoccupied.
I am firmly convinced that the lecture will make a difference to everyone.
