21、 Amid a global pandemic, another disaster was unfolding early this year beneath the ocean waters off the coast of Australia. Thanks to climate change, surface water temperatures across the Great Barrier Reef had hit record highs. By April, the damage was clear: the reef (礁) had experienced the most widespread bleaching event ever recorded and ended up disappearing, as corals expelled what serves as their food source and give them their color.
With a quarter of all ocean fish depending on reefs during their life cycles, scientists say we urgently need to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions to preserve the essential habitats. “Unfortunately we aren’t acting quick enough on climate change, and that leaves a real problem for coral reefs,” says Emma Camp, 33, a marine biogeochemist at the University of Technology Sydney. She’s investigating special corals that survive in forest lagoons (环礁湖) where water is warmer and more acidic compared with that surrounding most reefs, and which may be resistant to the conditions ruining the Great Barrier Reef.
Camp wants to learn if these creatures-named “supercorals” after she and a team discovered them during research for her Ph.D. in 2014-can be transplanted to other reefs to aid restoration.
She’s also investigating the biochemical characteristics that allow certain corals to survive in extreme environments. None of her efforts, she says, is a substitute for action to stop climate change. “My research is really about buying time.”
For Camp, it’s also essential to include a new generation of scientists to study the planet’s ecological systems. She talks about science with students around the world and speaks at local and international women-in-science events. “Our research tells more than itself. It is clear that if we lose 50% of the intellectual input because we’re filtering out women from that career path, we’re really going to struggle to solve those problems,” she says.
【1】What’s the main concern according to the first paragraph?
A.The reef died out in great number. B.The reef began to change color.
C.Climate change went beyond expectation. D.Corals had no source of food.
【2】Which word can replace the underlined word?
A.Influenced. B.Accepted. C.Dismissed. D.Adopted.
【3】What can be learned from forest lagoons in the second paragraph?
A.They suffer due to our slow response to the climate change.
B.They stand out by providing a good condition for reefs.
C.Their water has a big influence on the reef’s growth.
D.Their warmer and acidic water is the curse of the climate change.
【4】What does Camp think of her research?
A.It has served its purpose of restoring other reefs.
B.Her efforts will encourage people to deal with climate change.
C.Her efforts only put off the consequence of warm surface water.
D.More younger women should be included in the research.
22、Health chiefs are to use artificial intelligence to screen and treat people at risk of hepatitis C (丙型肝炎) under plans to wipe out the life-threatening disease by 2030.
The National Health Service (NHS) scheme, due to start within weeks in England, aims to identify thousands of patients unaware that they have the virus so that treatment can be given before it is too late. Staff will use AI to comb through patient health records and look for significant risk factors, such as historical blood transfusions (输血) or an HIV diagnosis. Hepatitis C often has no noticeable symptoms until the liver is severely damaged, which means the infected party may not know they are living with a potential killer. It can be cured with modern treatments.
Anyone identified by the AI software will be invited for a consultation by their doctors and, if necessary, will experience further screening for hepatitis C. Patients who test positive for the virus — which can be caught from contact with the blood of an infected person, such as by sharing a needle — will be offered antiviral medicines after NHS England struck a deal with three drug companies. Professor Graham Foster, the national clinical chairman for NHS England’s hepatitis C elimination (消灭) programmes, described the scheme as “a significant step forward” in the fight to eliminate the virus.
Hepatitis C deaths fell by 35 percent in the five years to 2020, from 482 to 314, according to the latest data from the UK Health Security Agency. The fall in deaths was thanks to earlier detection of the virus and improved access to treatments, health experts said.
NHS staff will also visit at-risk communities in specially equipped vans (货车), to test for the virus and carry out liver health checks, in a bid to wipe out the virus in England before the 2030 goal set by the World Health Organization.
【1】What is the purpose of the NHS scheme?
A．To make the most of artificial intelligence.
B．To record the blood transfusions in the history.
C．To diagnose the patients with serious unnoticeable symptoms.
D．To pick out the potential patients to provide timely treatments.
【2】What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A．NHS scheme can be helpful in removing the hepatitis C virus.
B．Hepatitis C can be spread through contact with blood of patients.
C．All the patients have to be re-examined again for the hepatitis C.
D．Related consulting service will be arranged by the doctor for free.
【3】Why did Hepatitis C deaths decline in the 5 years to 2020?
A．Because the related figure was updated on time.
B．Because the liver healthy check-ups were scheduled.
C．Because the virus was discovered earlier and better treatments were available.
D．Because the virus was tested in advance and communities were well-equipped.
【4】What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Hepatitis C is a life-threatening disease.
B．Hepatitis C deaths in the UK have declined.
C．NHS scheme helps to kill the hepatitis C virus.
D．AI is a new weapon against deadly hepatitis C.
23、Five years after they disappeared, lost jewels belonging to the wife of a US ambassador to the Netherlands were found.
Dawn Arnall had already received an insurance payout for her loss. However, the misplaced gems had been found and held for safe keeping by a hotel she stayed in. staff were unaware that the jewels were worth $ 9m.
The world is full of forgetful people. A man in the English town of Reading even left a sausage casserole in a bus. The dish ended up in the Lost Property Office until it was recovered by his mother, eager for her dinner.
A walker in the Lake District had his food in his mouth but … what about his teeth? After climbing a hill in 2007, David Packer stopped for a chocolate bar. He took his false teeth out, wrapped them up in a tissue and just forgot about them. It took more than a year for the walker to be reunited with them.
Over the past 78 years passengers on London’s transport network have left behind items including human skulls and gas masks from World War II. Since 1934, staff have handled an average of 200 000 items a year. Recently they have used computers to try to track down their owners.
But if you find something and can’t locate the rightful owner, is it_______? It depends on what’s found and how, says John Spencer, professor of law at the University of Cambridge.
“______________________________________________________________________.”
If it’s a larger sum, you should report it to the police but if the item has been abandoned, the property is yours. One man’s loss is another man’s gain!
【1】Dawn Arnall is mentioned in the first two paragraphs to .
A. attract readers’ attention to the jewellery
B. introduce the topic
C. make a summary
D. get people think
【2】Judging from the examples given in the third, fourth and fifth paragraphs, people can be .
A. generous B. experienced
C. forgettable D. honest
【3】What does the underlined part in the sixth paragraph mean?

B. One man’s loss is another man’s loss too.
C. It’s immoral to keep something that doesn’t belong to you.
D. Whoever finds something can keep it.
24、 Why is it that we always seem to pick the slowest line in a supermarket or store? Basically, the reason is simple: the chances are against us. To explain, imagine that you are in a store where there are three lines. 【1】 If there are more lines, your chances of getting into the speediest queue are even less.
Interestingly, some people have come up with theories and formulas to calculate this kind of thing. 【2】 A pioneering queuing theorist was an engineer named Erlang. He wanted to figure out the best number of telephone operators to have at the telephone exchange in the early 1900s. Taking into consideration the average number of phone calls in an hour and the average call length, Erlang came up with formulas to determine the best number of operators that should be on duty at any given time. 【3】 On top of that, his work established the basis for queuing theory, which became a new branch of mathematics.
The theories first invented by Erlang are still used today in a variety of commercial settings, including call centers and traffic engineering. 【4】 While there are many options available regarding lining up, it appears that a snaking-line approach—where people stand in a single line and wait for the next available clerk—is the most efficient. 【5】 Research shows that this option is about three times faster than using separate lines, which is the approach that is most commonly used but not that efficient for anyone in a rush.
A.This is the method that most banks use.
B.People who do this type of research are generally known as queuing theorists.
C.His formula was soon accepted by telephone companies, including the British Post.
D.You only have a one-in-three chance of picking the quickest line, so most likely you’ll be wrong.
E.The research he conducted even helps modern businesses provide satisfactory services to the public.
F.Businesses know just the tricks for distracting their customers from the long lines they’re waiting in.
G.Grocery stores try to have enough employees at checkout lines to get all customers through without delay.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
At Piedmont School, everyone wanted to be on the soccer team. Laura had dreamed of earning glory for the Falcons ever since she had witnessed her older brother scoring the winning goal. On the day she joined the team, she felt like she could fly.
Unfortunately, her joy did not last long. She spent most of the matches on the bench. Walking to the car after the last game, Laura’s mother asked if she was feeling fine. Laura kept quiet and tried to smile at her mother. Having spent yet another game as a reserve, Laura had not even broken a sweat. Laura also joked that she would have baked in the hot sun if she had played. Her mother assured her that she would have another chance to play. She also cheered Laura on. Laura could only shake her head as she climbed into the seat, back hunched and face down.
A few days later, Laura’s mother found she sprawled on the couch, watching music videos on her phone, so she tried asking Laura to watch soccer videos instead. Laura looked at her mother blankly, rolling her eyes. “They won’t help me and I can’t get better by myself,” Laura said.
Sighing, her mother sank down on the couch. “Laura, for every lock, there is a key. We just have to find it. What if I film you practising to help you find ways to improve?”
“But the season’s over, Mum. No more practice, remember?” Laura said. Her mother looked at her resolutely and insisted that the best players keep practising even when the season is over. Laura protested, “But to practise plays, I would need at least one other person to join me! It is difficult to do that alone.”
Laura’s mother patted her and said, “We’ll find that key too, but we have to start somewhere.” While Laura’s mother was searching her wallet for her gold key, she smiled gently at Laura. She gave Laura an assuring nod before passing her the key. “This key is a reminder for you to be strong and not give up. Let’s build something tomorrow.” Laura’s mother said.
