21、 It was hard for Apple Inc. to spring a surprise these days, but four new iPhone 12 models were introduced, with two of them—the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro—hitting stores on Friday. All would include the 5G next-generation wireless standard, which made some analysts surprised. They had ever said that the high cost of networks would drive Apple to include 5G only in the higher phones.
Instead, Apple turned its new products into a use of 5G. It paid particular attention to the millimeter wave(mmWave), because the mmWave can deliver the highest speeds. Though it needs higher technology, all of the new iPhones will reach the mm Wave standard, even though Verizon is the only U.S. company using it widely.
That made the iPhone 12 do a valuable commercial for Verizon. Apple even had the company’s chief president, Hans Vestberg, to support the event. But it also needed the support of another company Qualcomm, which makes the modem chips that connect smart phones to their networks. In a report, Susquehanna analyst Christopher Rolland wrote that each mmWave smart phone would bring Qualcomm an extra $18. He said, each year, this would bring $350 million to Qualcomm’s revenue, which would be the money that Qualcomm got from Apple’s new phone generation.
The revenue would be a large sum of money that the chip maker expected to get from the new iPhones. Qualcomm had been shut out of the Apple business for the last few iPhone generations because of something unhappy between the two companies. However, Apple needed help with 5G, so it had to choose Qualcomm.
【1】How did some analysts feel when knowing iPhone 12 models used 5G?
A.Amazed. B.Anxious. C.Annoyed. D.Sad.
【2】What made Apple focus on mmWave?
A.The lower cost. B.The highest speeds.
C.The widespread usage. D.The wider range and availability.
【3】What does the underlined word “revenue” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Help from Apple. B.Qualcomm’s new chips.
C.Products of the company. D.Money received from its business.
【4】In which part of a newspaper can we find the text?
A.Films. B.Sports. C.Science. D.Food.
22、People these days always complain how they suffer stress from their daily life. With drugs widely available in the market today, it is still advisable that we consume the best kind of medicine for our body, that is natural drugs.
One of the natural resources for a relaxation drug is the Valerian Root Extract. Scientifically known as Valeriana Officinalis, this plant is a flowering type with heads of pink and white flowers mostly blooming in the summer months. Native in Europe and in small parts of Asia, the plant became popular worldwide because of its sweet scent and unique health benefits.
Past research suggests that the valerian root has healing characteristics that focus on the neurotransmitter of the brain, which makes the brain cells function well. Other researches about this herb suggest that it can keep a person free of anxiety. Although there are various types of valerian root products in the market today, modern medical studies have concluded that further research has to be taken into consideration before acknowledging the so-called benefits of Valerian Root Extracts.
One sample of the so-called benefits is the treatment for anxiety disorder called “social anxiety disorder” or SAD. The benefit has insufficient evidence to support its claim as an alternative relief for anxiety. However, many patients said that they felt improvements on their nervous conditions, stress and overall mental ability.
Valerian Root Extract can be acquired as a tea, tablet, or liquid extract. It is recommended that you consult your physician about this herbal plant if it can really benefit your health.

23、 Fires sweeping across the Amazon rainforest this year have been a hot topic as scientists and environmental groups are worried that they will worsen the climate change crisis and threaten biodiversity.
As the largest rainforest in the world, the Amazon rainforest is often called "the lungs of the world". It is also home to about 3 million species of plants and animals, and 1 million native people. The vast areas of the rainforest play an important role in the world’s ecosystem because they absorb heat instead of it being reflected back into the atmosphere. They also store carbon dioxide and produce oxygen, ensuring that less carbon dioxide is released, mitigating the effects of climate change.
"Any destroyed forest is a threat to biodiversity and people," Thomas Lovejoy, an ecologist at George Mason University told NationalGeographic. "The overwhelming threat is that a lot of carbon dioxide goes into the atmosphere," he stressed. "In the midst of the global climate crisis, we cannot afford more damage to a major source of oxygen and biodiversity. The Amazon rainforest must be protected," U. N. Secretary General António Guterres said.
Data from the National Institute for Space Research (INPE) show that the number of forest fires in Brazil quickly increased by 82 percent from January to August this year compared to the same period last year. A total of 71,497 forest fires were registered in the country in the first eight months of 2019, up from 39,194 in the same period in 2018, INPE said. "We estimate that the forest areas in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest have decreased by between 20 and 30 percent compared to the last 12 months," Carlos Nobre, a researcher at the University of São Paulo, told German broadcaster Deutsche Welle.
Brazil owns about 60 percent of the Amazon rainforest, whose degradation (恶化) could have severe consequences for global climate and rainfall. The extent of the area ruined by fires has yet to be determined, but the emergency has transcended (超出) Brazil’s borders, reaching Peruvian, Paraguayan and Bolivian regions.
【1】What does the underlined word "mitigating" in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Increasing.
B．Relieving.
C．Ignoring.
D．Improving.
【2】What can we learn from Thomas’s and António’s words?

B．The rainforest fires result in serious consequences.
C．The global climate crisis brings more rainforest fires.
D．The dry weather leads to the rainforest fires.
【3】Why does the author list the numbers in paragraph 4?
A．To prove the importance of the rainforest.
B．To show reasons for forest fires.
C．To explain the process of the research.
D．To present the reduction in rainforest areas.
【4】What does this passage mainly talk about?
A．The climate change crisis is worsening.
B．The forest areas are on the decline.
C．"The lungs of the earth" is burning.
D．The world’s ecosystem is under attack.
24、There is no doubt that the United States has entered a brand new age, because Donald Trump, the country’s 45th president, is very different from any president before him.
Unlike Hillary Clinton, his opponent, and most former US presidents, who entered the election after years of being politicians, Trump, 70, was a New York real estate businessman.
And he was not a presidential candidate who worked hard to keep a perfect public image of a man who was always caring, fair and wise.
Instead, Trump is famous for being bad-tempered, arrogant(傲慢的) and hateful toward those who disagree with him. He also hates immigrants, both from Latin America and the Middle East, for many problems in the US. This has caused a dangerous division in the country—a country made up of many various races.
But to his supporters, the fact that Trump is not a typical politician is actually one of his advantages. His habit of never hiding his opinions is also considered by many to be a sign that he is not a hypocrite like many politicians are.
“We have seen our country take a downturn in the eyes of the world. We need to go in a different direction, ” Binyomin Weisswasser, 39, a man from Chicago, told the Chicago Tribune. “Trump’s not a politician... I like that he is not always politically correct and speaks his mind. It gives me the feeling that what you see is what you get. You may not like it, but you know what it is.”
But interestingly, many who elected Trump actually followed the “lesser of two evils” principle—one that people use when faced with picking from two unpleasant options—simply because they didn’t think Clinton was a better choice.
“He’s the candidate I disagree less with, ” Jack Stucky, 20, a student at Norwestern University, told the Chicago Tribune. “I don’t think I’d say Donald Trump is going to be the best president ever, but I did think he’d be better than Hillary Clinton.”
It’s true that the US is entering a new age. It’s just not clear yet what kind of age it’s going to be.
【1】What’s the difference between Trump and any president before him?
A. He knew little about politics before the presidential election.
B. He didn’t try to keep a perfect public image.
C. He gained popularity by his bad reputation.
D. He is not always politically correct and speaks his mind.
【2】The underlined words “a hypocrite” is closely related in meaning to _____.
A. a dishonest person B. a caring person
C. a shy person D. a selfish person
【3】What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. It reports on people’s different views on Trump’s victory in the election.
B. It explores the advantages Trump has over Hillary in the election.
C. It predicts what changes Trump will bring to the US.
D. It analyzes the reasons for Trump’s victory in the election.

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。续写的词数应为150词左右。
I fetched my mail as usual. Suddenly a colorful flyer (小传单) jumped into my sight. In the middle was a drawing of an old-fashioned phone, like the one my great-aunt Sara owned 40 years ago and at the bottom was a phone number. Running over it, I couldn’t help laughing.
“Is that mail funny?” my ten-year-old daughter, Jenny, asked.
“Not really,” I admitted. “It’s about the wake-up service. Outdated already.”
“What’s that?” she frowned (皱眉). I explained how, before smart phones, people sometimes paid someone to wake them with a call.
“Who sent this flyer?” she pressed.
I shook my head. “Probably someone older and he could need some money,” I said.
Her eyes lit up. “Can we order a wake-up service?” she asked.
“No kidding. With smart phones at hand, who will need it? And it’s not cheap at all. $2.5 per day.” I picked up the flyer and headed for the recycling bin.
“Wait!” she shouted.
“I feel sorry for the wake-up man, if he needs some money,” she said in tears. “Can’t we order one?”
I looked at the flyer with its drawing of an old-fashioned phone. I remembered, again, my great-aunt Sara and her old phone. As a kid, I used to visit her on Labor Day when Jerry Lewis would host his charity(慈善) event for the disabled kids. Aunt Sara would grasp my hand tightly and then reach for the telephone, dialing the number on the screen. Holding the receiver between us, we’d announce to the operator, “We’d like to help those kids.”
But now here was my own child, showing the same heart I had once been encouraged to have, and how could I ignore (不理睬) her? I googled the flyer’s telephone number. The number belonged to a man called Raymond.
Paragraph 1:
Jenny dialed the number.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
“Ring, ring, ring” went the phone at 6 o’clock sharp.
