21、A Virginia teen is doing his part to make sure frontline health care workers are getting the meals they need to help them take care of themselves and others.
Arul Nigam, 17, of Tyson's Corner, Va. , has had to make several adjustments since his school year ended abruptly in mid-March due to the coronavirus pandemic(新冠疫情）。“We didn't have any classes for like over a month and then after that there were a lot of technical difficulties. So I started to have a lot more free time,” he tells Yahoo Life. “It was really saddening, but it was also something that really surprised me, that our health care workers are facing something like that,” Nigam says. “So I wanted to see what I could do to help them because obviously, they're sacrificing so much and giving so much for all of us. ”
In late March, the teen started fundraising efforts with the help of friends and family to help these health care workers receive much-needed meals. He also began doing research about what hospitals had the most amount of coronavirus cases, so he could prioritize those places first. He was also arranging for the orders to be fulfilled at local family-owned restaurants impacted by shutdown orders. So far, Nigam has delivered over 1,000 meals to 22 hospitals in 13 states, including New York, Massachusetts and Maryland.
Nigam's efforts have not only helped health care workers, but restaurants as well. With quarantine restrictions taking a toll on the food industry, places like Best Coast Burrito in Oakland, Calif. , have lost business over the last few weeks. Best Coast's owner,Alvin Shen, tells Yahoo Life that being able to partner with Arul and others in efforts to feed those on the frontline has been a big help.
【1】What would Nigam probably do according to his words?
A．Study at home by himself.
B．Spend the more free time playing.
C．Donate some money to health care workers.
D．Do something helpful for health care workers.
【2】What is Nigam's priority when delivering food?
A．The urgency of meals.
B．The severity of the virus.
C．The number of doctors.
D．The position of hospitals.
【3】What does the phrase “taking a toll on” in the last paragraph mean?
A．Turning a blind eye to.
B．Keeping an eye on.
C．Causing lots of damage to.
D．Answering completely for.
【4】Where can you probably read this text?
A．Science fiction.
B．Fashion magazine.
C．Life magazine.
D．Entertainment newspaper.
22、 The COVID-19 pandemic has spread far and wide. Because of this, countries around the world have carried out measures to help stop the virus in its tracks. As more people stay inside to stay safe, the outside world seems to have become much quieter. In fact, scientists have seen this change in their research.
Seismologists - scientists who study earthquakes - have heard a lot less seismic（地震的） noise recently.
Seismic noise is made from vibrations (continuous shaking movements) in the ground that are caused by things like ocean waves and human activity, such as construction work and traffic. This noise makes it difficult for scientists to pick up seismic activity that is made at the same frequency.
Thomas Lecocq, a scientist at the Royal Observatory of Belgium, located in Brussels, was the first to notice this phenomenon. According to Lecocq, the amount of seismic noise in Brussels has been reduced by about 30 to 50 percent since mid-March. Interestingly enough, this is around the same time Belgium started its measures. Because of this reduction in background noise, scientists like Lecocq have been able to pick up on smaller earthquakes that some seismic stations - like the one in Brussels - wouldn’t have been able to before.
This phenomenon isn’t unique to Brussels, though. Once Lecocq shared his findings online, seismologists from all over the world echoed similar findings. Celeste Labedz, a graduate student at the California Institute of Technology, mentioned in a tweet that Los Angeles also experienced less background noise. “The drop is seriously wild,” she wrote.
Researchers from the UK, France and New Zealand also noted a decrease in background noise since measures were put in place.
These global efforts to contain the COVID-19 virus have helped to shed light on seismic activity that may have gone unnoticed. It also shows that people are listening to health officials and following lockdown rules. “From the seismological point of view, we can motivate people to say, ‘You feel like you’re alone at home, but we can tell you that everyone is home. Everyone is respecting the rules,’” Lecocq told CNN.
【1】What did seismologists find out recently?
A.Reduced seismic vibration makes the Earth quieter.
B.More smaller earthquakes are more likely to happen.
C.Many seismic activities have been detected recently.
D.Seismic noise is caused by vibrations underground.
【2】What can we infer from the text?
A.More seismic noise is being picked up.
B.More data on smaller earthquakes is being collected.
C.Scientists will shift their focus to smaller earthquakes.
D.Future big earthquakes must be more accurately predicted.
【3】The underlined word “echoed” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to “__________”.
A.repeated B.demanded C.explored D.questioned
【4】Which of the following statements does Lecocq mostly probably agree?
A.The drop in seismic noise is unique to Europe.
B.Seismic noise is mainly caused by human activity.
C.Many seismologists wanted tighter restrictions for their research.
D.The phenomenon proved that people are practicing social lockdown rules.

24、Here is an astonishing and significant fact：Mental work alone can’t make us tire. It sounds absurd．But a few years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue(疲劳). To the amazement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all!
If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer, we would find it full of fatigue toxins (霉素) and fatigue products. But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day.
So far as the brain is concerned, it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning. The brain is totally tireless. So what makes us tired?
Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional (情绪的)attitudes. One of England’s most outstanding scientists, J. A. Hadfield, says, “The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. In fact, fatigue of purely physical origin is rare. ”Dr. Brill, a famous American scientist, goes even further, He declares, “One hundred percent of the fatigue of sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems.”
What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? Joy? Satisfaction? No! A feeling of being bored, anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciated— those are the emotions t hat tire sitting workers. Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue. We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.
【1】What surprised the scientists a few years ago?
A. Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborer’s blood
B. Albert Einstein didn’t feel worn after a day’s work
C. The brain could work for many hours without fatigue
D. A mental worker’s blood was filled with fatigue toxins
【2】According to the author, which of the following can make sitting workers tired?
A. Challenging mental work B. Unpleasant emotions
C. Endless tasks D. Physical labor
【3】What’s the author’s attitude towards the scientists’ idea?
A. He agrees with them B. He doubts them
C. He argues against them D. He hesitates to accept them
