21、 For the last eight years, Jo Meade rode her bike each Sunday on a 16-mile round trip to her job washing dishes. It took more than an hour each way. Other days of the week she would spend two hours on three buses from her apartment to get to the other work, for a four-hour round trip.
That was the “before” part of her life. The “after” part of her life was started by the community Police Officer Trevor Arnold, who delivered a used car to her with the help of a car dealer and other donors.
Arnold, who spotted Meade, red and sweaty, riding her bike in the worst heat this summer, decided he would get her a car. He intended to quietly buy her a used car out of his own pocket so he turned to his friend Kody Slaght, a car salesman, to ask about a car priced $ 1,000. That wasn’t enough for a reliable ride, Slaght said, but the dealership said they would find a good car for her at a good price. Soon others were donating. Slaght and Arnold wouldn’t say how much the car cost, but the value is about $ 4,000.
Arnold said he was motivated by Meade’s work ethic (职业道德) to help. “I see a lot of hardworking people but that’s when they are at work. Can you imagine spending four hours of your day getting to and from work?” he said.
Meade’s boss said she was awesome and really reliable when she worked and she got along with others. “She’s willing to ride the three buses to get in here on her day off if we need her to.”
Meade said she was planning to buy a car, “but I haven’t been able to afford it,” she said. “Trevor, he is a very good guy. I did not expect this.”
【1】What can we learn about Jo Meade’s work?
A.It’s free but low-paid. B.It’s time-consuming on the road.
C.It’s competitive and high-paid. D.It’s not worth her devotion.
【2】Why did Slaght disagree to Arnold’s buying a car priced $ 1,000?
A.The car was not in good condition of driving.
B.The car was too expensive for Meade.
C.The car was beyond Arnold’s affordability.
D.The car had been donated to another person.
【3】What inspired Arnold to buy a car for Meade?
A.Her devotion to work. B.His duty as a policeman.
C.His sympathy for Meade. D.Her desire for a better life.
【4】What’s Meade’s feeling for the donated car?
A.Normal. B.Embarrassed.
C.Disappointed. D.Surprised.
22、Our brains consist of soft matter bathed in watery cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) inside a hard skull. An impact on the hard skull is transmitted through the thin layer of CSF to the soft brain matter. In Physics of Fluids, Qianhong Wu and co-authors describe studying another system with the same features, an egg, to search for answers. An egg resembles the brain.
Considering that in most brain injuries, the skull does not break, Wu wanted to find out if it was possible to break the center of an egg without breaking the eggshell. The researchers did a simple experiment, from which they could see that rotational force (旋转力) can easily break the egg yolk and make it mix with the egg white. Two types of impacts can be imposed on the outer container. A translational impact is one that hits the container directly, while a rotational impact occurs when the outer container is accelerated or decelerated. The latter arises naturally in sports when helmets are not round.
The researchers discovered something quite surprising. Direct translational impact does not cause the egg damage, while rotational deceleration causes great egg yolk damage. This finding explains why boxers will very likely faint if hit on the chin. “Considering the chin is the farthest point from the neck, hitting on the chin could cause the highest rotational acceleration/deceleration of the head,” Wu said.
When it comes to concussions (震荡), “it remains unclear how the brain is injured and how to avoid such injuries. Critical thinking, along with simple experiments within the kitchen, led to a series of systematic studies to examine the mechanisms that cause egg yolk damage,” Wu said. “We hope to apply the lessons learned from it to the study of brain biomechanics (生物力学)as well as other physical processes. ” As the first study of its kind, this work will interest those designing helmets.
【1】How did Qianhong Wu and co-authors do their research?
A．They studied a similar system.
B．They broke an egg to study its features.
C．They collected data from former studies.
D．They bathed a skull in a liquid egg white.
【2】What’s the purpose of the research?
A．To find out ways to avoid brain injuries.
B．To find what damages the soft brain matter.
C．To prove that eggs are similar to the brain.
D．To learn more about the structure of the brain.
【3】Which of the following are the researchers uncertain about?
A．The impacts that can arise on the shell of an egg.
B．The reason why boxers faint when hit on the chin.
C．The great meaning of the study to helmet designers.
D．The best way to protect the brain from serious injuries.
【4】What is the suitable title of the text?
A．Researchers Find a New Way To Study The Brain
B．The Brain Proves the Part Most Easily Damaged
C．Eggs Reveal What May Happen to the Brain On Impact
D．Researchers Find Something Surprising About the Brain
23、Rain was beating down on my car as I drove slowly down a less-traveled road. Suddenly the steering wheel jumped in my hands as one of the tires burst with a bang. It was impossible for me to change that tire! A thought that a passing motorist might stop disappeared at once. Why would anyone? I knew I wouldn’t. Then I remembered that a short distance up a little side road was a house. I started the engine and drove slowly until I came to that house.
I honked the horn. Then the door opened and a little girl about eight stood there. I rolled down the window and called out that I needed someone to change the flat tire because I was disabled and couldn’t do it myself. A moment later, the girl came out with raincoat and hat, followed by a man who called a cheerful greeting. I sat there comfortable and dry, and felt sorry for the man and the little girl working so hard in the storm. Well, I would pay them for it. The rain seemed to be little now, and I rolled down the window to watch. It seemed to me that they were awfully slow and I was beginning to become impatient. Finally, it was done and then they were standing at my car window.
He said, “This is a bad night for car trouble, but you’re all set now.” “Thanks,” I said. “How much do I owe you?” He shook his head. “Nothing. Cynthia told me you were on crutches. Glad to be of help. There’s no charge.” I held out a five-dollar bill, but he made no effort to take it and the little girl stepped closer to me and said, “Grandpa can’t see it.”
A blind old man and a child! They were just working with cold, wet fingers for tools in the dark—a darkness that for him would probably never end until death. I don’t remember how long I sat there after they said good night, but it was long enough for me to search deep within myself. I realized that I was filled with self-pity, selfishness, indifference to the needs of others and thoughtlessness.
Helping others is a way of life, one that I am trying to follow. It isn’t always easy, but the value is there. I am trying now not only to climb 14 steps each day, but in my small way to help others.
【1】The writer didn’t expect others to stop to help him as he thought they would _____.
A．not notice him in the rain
B．not know he was disabled
C．be unlikely to travel on that road

【2】As the time taken to change the tire became longer, the writer began to feel _____.
A．sorry for the man and the girl
B．critical of the man and the girl
C．unwilling to pay the man and the girl
D．grateful to the man and the girl
【3】The grandfather needed the girl’s help because of _____.
A．the darkness
B．the heavy rain
C．his blindness
D．his old age
【4】What did the writer learn from the experience mentioned above?
A．He should learn how to do things for himself.
B．Disabled people should know how to drive on rainy days.
C．Age doesn’t matter when it comes to giving a helping hand.
D．He should not be selfish and should try to help others if possible.
24、Sometimes when we are in our darkest hour, something completely unexpected happens that can give us a little bit of hope and comfort.
Jessica was a healthy woman. One day, she woke up and something was not right. After she was sent to the hospital, her heart rate slowed by nearly 50 percent. It took nine days for doctors to zero in on what was causing her problem.
After several weeks, Jessica was able to move her lips. Staff noticed this and introduced Jessica to Consuelo Gonzalez, a professional lip reader. Consuelo can understand what people are saying by the shape their lips make. She can also understand how annoying it is to not be able to communicate because she has been completely deaf since the age of 8.
For a few hours each week, Jessica could have long conversations with Consuelo, diving into the ocean of words she dearly missed. Through Consuelo, Jessica asked the doctors and nurses questions she had long wanted answers to. She also talked to Consuelo about the vivid dreams she was mixing up with reality.
In fact, there are other ways for Consuelo to earn a living by reading lips, but she says helping patients separate horrible dreams from reality is the most rewarding way she can use her unique skill. “What is really wonderful is being able to use this skill to create healing and to create communication between human beings. That’s what feels good. That’s what’s the best: Love.”
After four and a half months in the hospital, Jessica finally recovered. Consuelo was there, holding Jessica’s hands. Jessica eventually went back to work as a math professor. After her experience she wrote a new living will. One thing she added is that if she ever becomes incapacitated like this again, she is never to be left alone.
