Rioghna and Hannah Pittock spent the first few minutes feeling sorry
for themselves. Rioghna,a junior at Rochester Mayo High School, had spring
sports to play. Hannah,a senior at University of Chicago , was going to
have a spring break in Aruba. However , both were canceled because of
COVID-19. But they soon recovered and now they are sitting at home , solving
Rochester's problems in their way. Pointing to the computer screen, Hannah
tells her sister,“She is a nurse and her child needs to be matched.”
The two sisters birthed their plan last Saturday on the drive home from
picking up Hannah in Chicago. As more medical workers were sent to work,
fighting against the fierce pandemic (流行病), the sisters knew many of
their families would need childcare. At the same time, teens throughout
Rochester were off school. So on Sunday, Hannah and Rioghna launched Step
Up To Sit. Already they're paired more than 40 families with sitters.
“ The young people in the community are stepping up to do their
part,” Hannah says, “We are delighted that we' re having an impact on
people's lives in this hard time.”For the last four days,160 teens have
registered to help, most wiling to work free. if paired with a family in
need. With more and more teens joining in, the two sisters decide to launch
Step Up To Shop,a platform for teens to deliver groceries to seniors.
Rioghna acknowledges people of her age get a bad reputation as
smartphone-addicted and selfish. The Pittock sisters are proving otherwise,
“Amid the pandemic,people should be allowed to be upset and allowed to
be a little bit down about the upset in their lives, but it's about something
bigger and recognizing we all have our part to play here,”Rioghna says.4.Why did the two sisters feel sorry for themselves?
A. They would join in activities separately.
B. They had to give up their planned activities.
C. They were infected with COVID-19 seriously.
D. Their parents were sent to battle COVID-19.
5.Step Up to Sit is a platform to .
A. pair medical worker families with teen sitters
B. call on teens to deliver groceries to seniors
C. spread basic health knowledge to people
D. instruct teens to study online at home
6.Which of the following best describes the two sisters?
A. Tolerant. B. Humble. C. Caring. D. Stubborn.
7.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Smartphone addiction makes teens selfish.
B. The Pittock sisters acted on a low profile.

The low percentage of women in science ,technology,engineering,and
mathematics(STEM) careers is often attributed ( 归 因 于 ) to men being
believed to be better at the sort of thinking those fields require. Though
studies have debunked the view,they have largely been based on results
acquired from various several standardized tests. Now, researchers from
Pennsylvania' S Carnegie Mellon University have found evidence that is hard
to overlook; MRI (磁共振成像) proves that young girls and boys use the same
mechanisms and networks in the brain to solve math problems.
The groundbreaking study to evaluate the biological gender differences
in the math talent of young children was led by the university' s professor
of neuroscience, Jessica Cantlon. For their study ,the team selected 104
young children, between 3 and 10 years old, divided almost equally by gender.
The scientists used a functional MRI to observe their brain activity as
they engaged in math tasks. These included watching age appropriate
educational videos and doing math exercises such as counting and
addition,as well as reading for comparison.
“ We looked at which areas of the brain respond more strongly to
mathematics content in the videos and tasks, compared to non math content
like reading or the alphabet, Cantlon said.“When we do that in lite
girls, we see a particular network of the brain respond,and when we do that
same analysis in boys, we see the exact same regions.”
So why do girls and young women tend to avoid math and STEM careers in
general? Cantlon thinks it may be rooted in social and cultural conventions.
Previous studies have indicated that parents tend to spend more time with young boys in play that inspire spatial cognition (空间认知)-such as toys
that involve learning number skills and shapes and solving puzzles.
Educators were also observed to spend more time with boys during math class.
8.What does the underlined word “ debunked” in paragraph 1 mean?
A.Disproved. B. Supported. C. Confirmed. D. Overlooked.
9.What does paragraph 2 mainly focus on?
A. The purpose of the research.
B. The process of the research.
C. The participants of the research.
D. The findings of the research.
10.What contributes to the lack of women in STEM careers?
A. Mental capacity. B. Gender difference.
C. Traditional prejudice. D. Family background.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. MRI- A Great Helper in Research
B. Toys- Boosters for STEM Potential
C. Boys and Girls: Equally Talented in Math
D. STEM Careers: Calling for More w omen

Algorithms (算法) affect nearly every part of a person's experience on
the Internet. Search engines are most people' s entry to the Internet.If
a person wants to find information about something, they usually start with
a search bar.As soon as they stat typing or choosing links,the algorithm
starts gathering data about every choice users make and uses that data to
try to find the websites or information that most directly relate to what
the user is looking for.
The problem with algorithm is that they can limit the kinds of information
people see,says MacMillan,a reading researcher with Project Information
Literacy (能力). He argues this can be harmful to people's critical thinking
and lead them to believe that only one point of view is correct.
Companies also pay to post advertisements for products that could relate
to users' search data. For example,if you search for places to take a
vacation,you will likely start to see ads for travel companies, flights
or hotels.
Renee Hobbs, director of the Media Education Lab at the University of
Rhode Island, however, argues that algorithms are not all bad. She says
search engine algorithms can help you find what might be the most useful
information faster. But she says it is in the interests of Internet
companies to keep users on the Internet for as long as possible so they
see more ads.
The current generation of young people grow up using the Internet and
they are prone(易于遭受) to distrustful information.That is why schools must train students how to use the Internet more wisely in their Studies.It
is the duty of education to keep students informed about the world around
them. Yet it is not the duty of education alone. And lawmakers should
consider increasing data protection rules. Individuals can also use a wide
variety of websites to avoid algorithmic controls.
12. How do algorithms affect users' Internet experience?
A. They lead to slower Internet connection.
B. They block ads for users automatically.
C. They always help users get reliable links.
D. They determine the content users receive.
13. What is Hobbs' attitude to algorithms?
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Objective. D. Indifferent.
14.What can be concluded from the last paragraph?
A. Young people fall victim to the Internet.
B. Data protection rules are already enough.
C. Education is fully responsible for algorithmic controls.
D. Joint efforts are needed to handle algorithmic controls.
15. Which column of a magazine is the text most likely from?
A. Science. B. Entertainment. C. Advertisement. D. Fashion.

When it comes to exercise ,do you swear by working up a sweat with a
good run,or do you prefer to take a walk? It turns out both runners and
walkers get health benefits compared with couch potatoes. But is one really
better than the other for fitness? 16
It's always good to get any kind of exercise and it's important that
you choose exercise that you can do regularly. 17 For instance,running
for half an hour burns about twice the calories as a half-hour of walking.
But if the walker covers the same distance,just over a longer period of
time ,he/she will burn the same calories.
What about other health benefits? Running and walking are both excellent
for heart health. When you run. your heart works harder than when you walk.
18 If runners and walkers burn the same number of calories every day,both
groups have a lower risk of heart disease than inactive people.
19 For instance, running or walking at least 30 minutes a day may
help lessen mild bone loss. And contrary to what you may think,runners don't
suffer from arthritis(关节炎) more than non-runners.In fact,their risk for
arthritis is about 15% lower than for those who don't exercise at all.
You don't have to feel torn between running and walking. 20
A.Most people will say “yes” to this question.B. Both types of exercise are also good for bone health.
C.It doesn't matter if you run or walk as long as you keep moving.
D. Let's first take a look at the health benefits of running and walking.
E. But that doesn't actually mean that runners have better heart health
than walkers.
F. One large study found runners might have a lower chance of getting
heart disease.
G. The main difference between walking and running is that running burns
calories faster.

No Time
With a broad smile on her lips, 15-year old Sirin rushed to her mom to
show off her new painting. But mom raised her eyebrows with eyes wide open,and
spoke in an impatient tone,“No time, baby. Right now I am busy with an
important talk. Just wait for some time,OK?”
Holding her oil painting ,she frowned (皱眉) ,and then searched for her
dad.
“Dad,see what I have done,” Sirin announced aloud in a thrilling
voice. Her dad turned around while adjusting his tie,grinned at her ,and
showed his thumbs up!
Immediately,blowing her two cheeks, Sirin replied angrily,“Dad, you
haven't seen it yet.”
He smiled at her saying,“No time, baby.I will see it later.”He just
patted her back lovingly , kissed her forehead,and rushed for his
office.
She was not a kid to be pleased with simple gesture or smile. She stood
there for a few seconds,and then stormed off to her own bedroom. Hot air
was blowing from her nostrils(鼻孔); her face turned into apple red. She
threw the painting on the table,slammed (把…砰地关上) the door and threw
herself on her bed.
“Why is everybody so busy?”She recalled thousands of incidents that
hurt her in pre-school, middle school and even in high school too!She
assumed at least her own family members would give some values to her
thoughts, but they were no exception. Unconsciously,her eyes were filled
with tears.
The knocking sound on the door put a sudden brake to her thought. Her
mom was calling her for dinner. Sirin deliberately came late to join them.
She kept silent and didn't look at anyone ,scratching the table mat with
her nail, Her mom was puzzled at the unusual behavior. Suddenly , the morning
incident clicked in her mind, Softly,she asked,“Honey, did I do anything
wrong?”

sometimes suffer test anxiety , which does upset me a lot. But what can't
beat me can only serve to make me stronger. I' m positive that with adequate
preparations,I' m getting closer and closer to my dream-to be a doctor to
relieve pains of patients, which will motivate me to study harder.
Best wishes!

第二节
One possible version :
Al this very moment ,Sirin could no longer resist her anger. “Why is
everybody so busy?”she roared , tears streaming down. She assumed that
her mom and dad would feel proud of her great talent , would appreciate
her painting but.后 She was disgusted with everybody having“no time”for
her. “I hate you !”She screamed,grabbed the painting on the table and
tore it in half. Shocked , mom threw her arms around her tightly, announcing
regretfully and firmly,"Baby,I am so sorry! I promise this mistake will
not be repeated. ”
When back from school the next day ,Sirin was surprised to see her
beautifully-decorated paining on the wall.It was beautifully framed and
just below the painting,it was written“We are so proud of you,our little
angle!” On seeing it, she burst out crying. She ran to her mom and hugged
her tightly as well, fully aware of her mom' s love. Recalling her mom's
stress from work and daily life, she was regretting her previous behavior.
She ducked her head, apologizing,“Sorry, mom!”It dawned on them that
though everything came and went , mutual understanding would stay forever
in their family.
