21、Sometimes when it feels like things are falling apart, they may actually be falling into place. This is exactly the case for Holly Smith, 34, from Surrey, when she lost her job two years ago.
At the beginning of 2020, Holly was working as a general manager for a small independent bakery business in Surrey. She had been there six years and couldn’t believe it when they told her she had to pack up her bags and leave. Being made redundant came as a huge shock for her and she panicked about struggling to pay the bills and finding another job during such a difficult time.
Holly didn’t know where to turn initially, but she was determined to find a silver lining, so she picked up a paintbrush and began to paint. Holly painted a portrait of her parent’s dog, an Italian spinone named Bailey, and shared the image online. Straight after, a few friends requested their own pet paintings and soon the rest became history.
Holly named her business Holly & Murphy, after her special five-year-old cocker spaniel, Murphy. She is often her most creative when she’s floating on water, together with her furry companion in her boat. She combines watercolour paints and pencils to bring dogs’ faces to life. A small painting usually takes two to three days to complete. Customers love how she captures their pet’s personality in great detail. Some of the most memorable paintings she has been asked to do are of dogs that have passed away. Her dog portraits start at £295 and can cost up to £595.
“When it first happened, it felt like the end of the world,” Holly, a current full-time painter and business owner, told The Mirror, “but it was the best thing that ever happened to me. And I’m so grateful to have a job that I love.”
【1】Which of the following statement is TRUE?
A．Holly usually complete her painting on the boat.
B．Murphy offered much inspiration to Holly.
C．Holly felt ashamed about losing her job initially.
D．Customers speak highly of Holly’s painting.
【2】What does the underlined word “redundant” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Shocked.
B．Unemployed.
C．Reluctant.
D．Unimportant.
【3】Who contributed to the initial development of Holly’s business?
A．The netizens.
B．Customers losing their pets.
C．Holly’s friends.
D．Holly’s parents.
【4】What does the story convey to the readers?
A．Every cloud has a silver lining.
B．He who laughs last laughs best.
C．Failure is the mother of success.
D．Interest is the best teacher.
22、In an office building of Helsinki, Finland, a social worker is meeting six elderly people for lunch-via tablets propped on their kitchen tables. While many countries with growing elderly populations are building new care homes, Finland is looking after people in their own homes-by means of technology.
The most common reason for a home visit by a social worker is to check that Grandma is taking her medicine. A pill-dispensing (配药的) robot in her home can do that. Each holds a two-week supply of multiple drugs, gives a reminder when it is time to take them and dispenses the right combination. For one in five people who try them the robots don't work, usually because Grandma is reluctant to take lots of pills. But for the rest, they have cut medication-related visits from 30 to just four a month.
The idea of old folk living alone perhaps worries Finnish people less than many others; Finns pride themselves on their rugged self-reliance. A welcome pack for foreign journalists includes a book of cartoons depicting “Finnish nightmares”, such as having to say “hello" to a neighbour. Social isolation, however, is a big problem for the elderly because it leads to faster cognitive and physical decline. To deal with that, Helsinki runs virtual get-togethers for its homebound elderly. These should be regarded as extras, though. A degree of personal interaction, not just the virtual kind, is surely necessary even for Finns.
The biggest challenge for both humans and devices is to spot problems early. Local tech companies, including MariCare Oy and Benete, have developed systems to gather data on things like how often a person visits the bathroom or opens the fridge. Care workers use such data to prioritise whom to visit and what to check for. Not opening the fridge as often, for example, is a hint that memory problems may be getting worse.
The biggest gain from technology may be that it makes it easier to keep old people fit enough to remain in their own homes. This is much cheaper, and usually nicer, too.
【1】How does Finland look after its elderly?
A．By building more new care homes.
B．By offering them remote-care services.
C．By increasing the population of social workers.
D．By creating more senior-accessible public areas.
【2】How can a pill-dispensing robot help?
A．It comforts the elderly reluctant to take pills
B．It reminds nurses to restore an elderly's drug supply.
C．It ensures the doctors give the right combination of pills.
D．It saves social workers the trouble of frequent home visits
【3】What might the author suggest the Finns do?
A．Make some face-to-face contact.
B．Stick to their tradition of self-reliance.
C．Run as many virtual get-togethers as possible.
D．Keep a safe social distance with their neighbours.
【4】What is a shared goal of MariCare Oy and Benete?
A．Freeing the homebound elderly from restrictions.
B．Helping the elderly suffer less from memory loss.
C．Identifying potential health problems of the elderly.
D．Developing household systems suitable for the elderly.
23、We bought a Shamrock trailer (房车) in the fall of 2019 in anticipation (期待) of our three-month journey to Baja, Mexico. The camper (露营车) would be home base for all the fun and adventure our family, myself, my husband and our three teenagers, would have all the way.
It took three days to drive from Calgary to Las Vegas and the temperature went from negative 30 to 15 °F-a miracle! But by the time we made it to San Diego, California, we had visited two RV mechanics to fix water leaking from the water tank and a bed heater blowing up. Thankfully, while we waited for repairs, we could listen to waves lapping on the shore.
Eventually, we crossed the border into Mexico at Tijuana and pushed our way down the shore coast. While we swam, ate Mexican food and watched sunsets, the Shamrock kept throwing us surprises. We all learned to savor (尽情享受) the good moments while dealing with the bad.
Driving through Utah, our truck began making noises. The truck’s engine had completely broken, and we needed a new one. We holed up (躲) in St. George, Utah, to wait for repairs. One evening, we were heating up dinner when the oven let out a big WHUMP! The whole camper shook.
After a few weeks, we left our truck in Utah—the engine repair wasn’t going too well—and drove home to Calgary. There could not have been five travelers so happy to stay in their house for two weeks.
Eventually, we hired someone to drive our truck and the Shamrock to Calgary, but he arrived with just the truck. The camper was causing problems, and the keys got lost, so it was left in Idaho. It’s still there; we recently marked its one-and-a-half-year anniversary of storage.
This brings me to the point of this essay: For Sale: A lively 30-foot Shamrock camper. Keeps you on your toes! Sleeps five. $9,000. Pick-up is somewhere in Idaho. Bring some tools to break into it.
【1】What can we learn about the author’s self-driving tour?
A．The tour lasted for about one month.
B．They drove a Shamrock all the way during the tour.
C．Their truck stopped working when they arrived at San Diego.
D．They enjoyed the tour despite some unexpected problems.
【2】What does the underlined word “surprises” mean in paragraph 3?
A．Breakdowns.
B．Beautiful scenery.
C．Amazing functions.
D．Quality after-sales service.
【3】What is the tone of the article?
A．Unhappy.
B．Serious.
C．Amusing.
D．Exciting.
【4】What is the author’s main purpose in writing the article?
A．To suggest the places to travel.
B．To advertise her Shamerock camper.
C．To record the happy moments in life.
D．To complain about her campers.
24、 NASA aims to send a man and a woman to the moon by 2024. This is the goal of its Artemis program. But for Artemis to succeed, the U. S. space agency first needs to solve a big problem: the damaging threat of moon dust.
Over billions of years, celestial （天体的）bodies, such as asteroids and meteors, have slammed into the moon. These hits have crushed some lunar rocks into dust. The surfs radiation gives the dust an electric charge that makes it stick to everything. Those powdery bits are like u broken pieces of glass" , notes Mihaly Horanyi, a physicist at the University of Colorado Boulder. The dust is so rough, in fact, that it can damage equipment. If taken in, it might even harm an astronaut's health. Horanyi is part of a team that has now figured out how to overcome one troubling aspect of the dust: its static cling, using a low-powered electron beam （电子束）.When shined onto the dust, that beam sends the dust flying.
During the 1970s, the astronauts in NASA's Apollo missions relied on a very low-tech system to clean lunar dust off their spacesuits. They swept it away with what looked like the brushes used to paint a house. But the electrically charged nature of space dust tended to fail such hand sweepers.
The new electron-beam broom takes advantage of the dust's electrical characteristic. As the beam hits the dust, it releases electrons into the tiny spaces between particles. Some of these negatively charged electrons will be absorbed by the surrounding dust.
One problem with the electron beam, at least for now, is that it leaves up to one-fourth of the dust behind. The Boulder group aims to strengthen that cleaning power. Horanyi says the electron beam is just one of several ways future space explorers could keep surfaces clean. Others might include changes to a spacesuit's design.
【1】Why should the moon dust problem be solved?
A.It might affect astronauts' health and equipment.
B.It can give off harmful radiation.
C.It can stick to the surface of the spaceship.
D.It might cause serious crashes.
【2】What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A.The discovery of the electron beam. B.The way the electron beam works.
C.The occurrence of the electron beam. D.The development of the electron beam.
【3】What can we learn about the new electron beam broom?
A.It is a low-tech dust cleaning system.
B.It leaves three-fourths of the dust uncleaned.
C.It needs improvement in the cleaning power.
D.It is proved less efficient than other methods.
【4】What will the author most probably talk about next?
A.Astronauts' health. B.New spacesuit's designs.
C.Spaceship surface features. D.Future space exploration.
