Designing a winter coat that transforms into a sleeping bag for people living on the streets
would have been enough for most folks to sit back and revel（陶醉）in a kind deed done well.
Others would call it good if they managed to take the attempt a step further by creating jobs for
homeless people to sew the garments.
But Veronika Scott, the founder of the Empowerment Plan, wants those achievements to be
just two of many stepping stones on the path to dreams fulfilled for single parents struggling to
provide homes for their kids. Her vision has grown far beyond the design-school project thought
up five years ago, when she was a 21-year-old student and people on the streets started calling
her”the crazy coat lady”. Now The Empowerment Plan, is a fully developed business that has
provided convertible（可变的）coats to more than 20,000 globally, given jobs and education to
more than 40 parents, and helped move more than 80 children out of shelters.
Scott said she’s proud of the sleeping-bag coat she designed, but her main goal is getting
people to the point where they and their families would never need one. That means locking past
merely giving homeless parents jobs, but also helping them gain the education and skills needed to
leave. The Empowerment Plan after a couple years and pursue their dreams.
Scott’s drive comes from her own upbringing as the scared child of parents who both
struggled with unemployment and addiction. “The Empowerment Plan was a way of creating
something I wish my own family had had growing up: an employment opportunity that would
allow them to stabilize and get the financial stability they never had.”
Scott wanted to show parents and their kids “that living in a homeless shelter isn’t a defining
（定义性的）characteristic, nor a life sentence.” Her employees all have been able to move into
permanent housing with their children within the first four to six weeks of working for The
Empowerment Plan, she said.
24. What is The Empowerment Plan's final aim?
A More sleeping-bag cut can be produced.
B. The homeless can own a permanent house.
C. The project can cover all the homeless people.
D. Homeless families can stand on their own feet.3
25. What motivates Scott to start the project?
A. Homeless people's suffering. B. Her enthusiasm for design.
C. Her background of growth. D. Upsetting social problems.
26. Which of the following can best describe Scott?
A. Ambitious and earning. B. Cooperative and generous.
C. Proud and patient. D. Creative and demanding.
27. Which section of a website is this text most likely from?
A. Fun lifestyles. B. Latest News. C. Diverse Cultures. D. True Stories.

The latest data form Nature’s Calendar shows that the butterflies, newts and neat-building
blackbirds have been spotted months before they would normally appear. An analysis of the
conditions in 2019 found that all but one of the 50 spring events the scheme（计划）tracks were
early last year, as a result of warmer winter temperatures. The Woodland Trust, which runs the
Nature’s Calendar scheme, warns that many species are losing their seasonal cues（提示）as
winters warm and seasons shift.
Increasingly unstable weather could tempt some animals out of hibernation（冬眠）too soon,
only to be hit by sharply dropping temperatures. And some birds appeared to be breeding too late
as they make the most of vital food sources that appear earlier than normal, the Trust said.
Lorienne Whittle, at the Woodland Trust, said, “ It seems that last year we almost lost winter
as a season--it was much milder and our data shows wildlife is responding, potentially putting
many at risk.”
And she said, “It appears that some species are able to adapt to the advancing spring better
than others. Oak trees respond by producing their first leaves earlier and caterpillars seem to be
keeping pace. But blue tits, great tits and pied flycatchers are struggling to react in time for their
chicks to take advantage of the peak amount of caterpillars--the food source on which they
depend.”
Active newts were recorded in late December in Cheshire and a blackbird was spotted
building a nest at the beginning of January. Accordingly, a report for The Wildlife Trusts
suggested that hedgerows（树篱）be protected from being cut during the nesting season.
28. What does the underlined word“temp" in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Help. B. Attract. C. Guide. D. Cheat.
29. Why are oak trees mentioned in the text?
A. To explain why plants respond to the climate change.
B. To prove some species fit in with the climate change better.4
C. To show how caterpillars react to the changing environment.
D. TO suggest plants adapt to warmer winters better than animals.
30. How is the text mainly developed?
A. By listing environmental damages. B. By offering practical suggestions.
C. By making striking comparisons. D. By presenting tracking results.
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. Some birds are in danger of dying out.
B. Warmer winters increase the threat to wildlife.
C. A scheme will be carried out to protect wildlife.
D. Plants are struggling to survive warmer winters.

The MOOCs (massive open online courses) reached its peak of popularity in 2012. Now
while people who drop out outnumber those who sign up for online courses and MOOCs are still
the early days, there’s no denying there’s still value in their existence. Courses does not give our
figures on its paying learners. Udacity says it has 13,000 people doing its degrees. Whatever the
number are, the reinvented MOOCs matter because they are solving two problems they share with
every provider of later-life education.
The first of these is the cost of learning, not just in money but also in time. Formal education
rests on the idea of qualifications that take a set period to complete. Students in their early 20s can
more easily afford a lengthy time commitment because they are less likely to have other
responsibilities. However, people in later life, when they manage part-time of distance learning,
find balancing learning, working and family life can cause great pressures.
Moreover, the world of work increasingly demands a quick response from the education
system to provide people with the desired qualifications. To take one example from Burning Class,
in 2014 alone 65,000 American job-vacancy （ 职 位 空 缺 ） ads asked for a cyber-security
certificate. Since only 50,000 people in America hole such a certificate and it takes five years of
experience to earns one, that requirement will be hard to meet. Lets demanding professions also
put up huge harriers to entry. If you want to become a licensed cosmetologist（美容师）in New
Hampshire, you will need to have gained 1,500 hours of training.
In response, the MOOCs have tried to make their content as digestible and flexible as
possible. Degrees are broken onto modules; modules into courses; courses into short periods. The
MOOCs test for the most suitable length to ensure people complete the course; six minutes is
thought to be the sweet spot for online video and four weeks for a course.
32. What can we infer about the MOOCs?5
A. They came into being in 2012.
B. They offer more course to choose from.
C. They are still immature but promising.
D. They help solve problems cause by jobs markets.
33. What may cause pressure to people who take up learning in late life?
A. Time management. B. Education cost.
C. Job hunting. D. Distance learning.
34. What can we learn from the text?
A. Getting certificates can be quicker by learning online.
B. Young students can't afford formal education.
C. Online learning will guarantee one a good job.
D. Entering less demanding jobs is easier.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Education and Work B. Qualifications and Requirements
C. The Return of the MO0Cs D. The Development of the M0OCs

With COVID-19 floating around, you know getting your hands clean is your best defense from
viruses and bacteria. You use either soap or sanitizer（消毒剂）.But something that’s not as clear
is which works better.
36 Wash your hands with soap whenever possible, and if you can’t get to a sink, sanitizer is
good, too, according to Preeti Malanti, a medical professor focused on infectious disease at the
University of Michigan.
The way sanitizer works is primarily through the power of alcohol. Alcohol can “murder”
many types of bacteria and viruses by destroying their outermost layer, making them unable to
take over a host. This isn’t effective with viruses with a hard outer shell, like norovirus. 37 Soap
works a little differently. Instead of killing viruses and bacteria, its purpose is to lift away dirt, oil,
and other dangerous agents that get on your hands. 38 It only disinfects（消毒）bacteria and
viruses and can leave insect killers or spores（孢子）on your hands.
Washing away the coronavirus might not sound as violent as stopping it dead in its tracks,
but it’s proven to be more effective. 39
It is possible to over wash your hands or use too much sanitizer? Not really, says Sanjay
Maggiwar from Washington University--through constantly scrabbing your hands with soap will
probably dry them out.
Just be sure to keep washing your hands as regularly as you can. 40 They might be at risk 6
of being sneezed on. It might be smart to wipe down your cell phone, too, if you happen to use
that a lot on the run.
A. Sanitizer doesn't remove anything.
B. So, what do the experts recommend?
C. Use what you can to stay clean and healthy.
D. How can you make soap work more effectively?
E. There isn't anything that is really better than effective hand washing
F. Still, it'll keep you protected from a lot of the invisible bacteria and viruses.
G. Also remember to disinfect shared surfaces at your home or office when possible.
