21、 Unnila Chaudhary was already a slave when she was six. She spent almost 12 years working as a slave maid in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. She was a so - called Kamalari, one of thousands of girls from Tharu tribe (部落)sold by their parents because of financial problem. About 7 percent of the Nepali population is Tharu. They are generally poor and live from agriculture but oftentimes it is not enough. So over the centuries, a tradition has formed where daughters are sent to the city for money. For parents, this brings in additional income and one less mouth to feed. But the girls lose their childhood cruelly.
Urmila Chaudhary gained her freedom 10 years ago and has been campaigning against the tradition ever since . The Kamalari was actually banned by law in 2013 but it continues . She has even founded an organization that helps to free slaves and give them a second chance in life.
After getting her freedom back, she wanted more. She wanted a life, the life that she had always dreamed of even though she was realistic enough to know that her chances were limited. She had never gone to school but wanted to become a lawyer. So she started going to classes with much younger children but was not bothered by the surprised glances and surprising questions. At the same time, she set up her own organization to free girls from slavery ."What she has achieved is remarkable,says Irene Jung. The organizations have freed 13,000 girls in the past few years. uUrmila has huge sympathy. You can see it every time she talks to girls whom she freed," says Jung admiringly. She makes what seems impossible possible. She has learnt how to read and write. She speaks English and has received her high-school diploma.

22、 American culture is unique because it is formed and developed under certain conditions.The major factors contributing to the making of this flew nation and the forming of a new culture are the hard environment,ethnic diversity (多民族) and plural religion,which is quite different from other nations in the world.What is more,these elements are still influencing the American culture.
The early immigrants who were English Puritans settled down in northeast part of America.From 1607 to 1892, frontiers were pushed further west. The frontiersmen looked for a land of rich resources and a land of promise,opportunity and freedom. Actually they looked for a better life.So individualism (个人主义), self-reliance, and equality of opportunity have perhaps been the values most closely associated with the frontier heritage (遗产) of America.
In history, people from different countries in the world rushed to America three times.They brought their own culture to America and later on, different cultures were mixed together.Thus the unique American culture is formed, a common cultural life with commonly shared values.
The fundamental American belief in individual freedom and the fight of individuals to practice their own religion is at the center of religious experience in the United States.The great diversity of ethnic backgrounds has produced religious pluralism; almost all of the religions of the world are now practiced in the United States.
Nowadays, we can see the continual influence of the three elements in the current American society. American family is typically parents and their unmarried children.Middle-aged and elderly people generally do not live with their married children.The people in America have a very strong desire to start a new life in a new place. Quite a number of people change residences every year.The average American moves fourteen times in his lifetime.

23、 The Chicago Fine Chocolate Show took place in November. Pastry chefs (面包师) from around the country handed out samples of their very best work. Chef Scott Green, a chocolate sculptor, impressed the attendees at the show. Not only did he bring his work for all to see，but he also made chocolate sculptures right then and there.
Green talked to TFK about his job as a chocolate sculptor. He explained that he thinks of himself as an artist who just happens to work with chocolate rather than wood or stone. “I hive been around chocolate so long that it isn’t chocolate anymore,” he said. To learn more about the job of a chocolate sculptor, read on.
TFK: What was the hardest thing that you have ever carved, and what was it made of?
GREEN: In 2017, I did the U.S. Pastry Championship, and I had to carve ft castle out of white chocolate for the competition. I didn’t have a lot of experience, and white chocolate is hard to carve. That was the hardest thing I have ever carved.
TFK: How long does it take to make an average sculpture?
GREEN: For me, it takes a couple of days. Most of that time is getting all the pieces ready. The easiest part is gluing it all together. Chocolate is used for glue. It holds together very well.
TFK: How much chocolate do you use per sculpture?
GREEN: It depends on the sculpture. For a show piece, I maybe use 20 to 60 pounds of chocolate. You have to be really strong to lift it. I always ask for help.
TFK: Is it easier to work with sugar or chocolate?
GREEN: They are very different. Generally speaking, it is easier to work with chocolate. Chocolate likes being poured into molds (模具), and it sets at room temperature. Sugar is much more fragile. It is very hot when you work with it and not as easy.

24、Vaccines may soon make their first film(薄膜) appearance. Led by expert Maria A. Croyle, researchers have developed a thin sheet that preserves vaccines for long periods without refrigeration. This means the carefully cooled small bottles now used to ship vaccines could potentially be replaced by lightweight films that can be mailed in an envelope and stored on a shelf.
The film is tailored to suit each specific vaccine candidate and provide a protective coating. “We’ve learned over time that the key to really stabilizing whatever the film holds is to have it intermixed with all the components,” Croyle says, adding that the process is quick and uses affordable and standard equipment. “We really wanted to come up with something that would be transferable to developing countries.”
Immunization(免疫) programs depend heavily on keeping vaccines cold (2℃-8℃) as they are transported, sometimes over thousands of kilometers to faraway locations. Delivery can be difficult and costly, and transport disruptions can cause the vaccines to be ineffective.
But this new product can store live viruses, bacteria and antibodies for several months at 20℃. In a paper published in Science Advances, the scientists show that the live viruses in one vaccine were preserved in the film even after 36 months. They also find that a flu vaccine suspended in their film compares favourably with a traditional flu shot. “The study demonstrates early proof of concept for an exciting platform for vaccine product development,” says Lisa Rohan, a pharmacologist, who was not involved in the study. She also notes that each vaccine type would need a custom formulation(配方) for future stages of development.
Finding partners to mass-produce for clinical trials is the researchers’ most pressing problem, Croyle says. They are also exploring packaging methods to keep their films stable up to 40℃.
Size is a major advantage—a letter-sized sheet of the film can carry more than 500 doses of vaccine, about 1⁄900 the weight of the same amount of traditional doses. By making it easier and cheaper to ship and preserve vaccines efficiently, Croyle says, the technology could vastly improve immunization rates the world over, particularly in middle to low income countries.
【1】What can we learn about the film?
A．It contains animal’s DNA.
B．It will replace vaccines.
C．It comes in different flavours.
D．It can hold bio-products.
【2】What does paragraph 2 mainly clarify about the film?
A．Its transportation requirement.
B．Its development schedule.
C．Its possible advantages.
D．Its key components.
【3】The author mentions Lisa Rohan’s words to ______.
A．advise personalizing vaccines.
B．suggest the product is promising.
C．prove the study is supported widely.
D．stress the functions of a new platform.
【4】What can be a suitable title?
A．Immune system will be improved a lot all over the world.
B．A new type of affordable vaccine will benefit low-income countries.
C．Vaccines would be transferable to developing countries.
D．A new type of film preserves vaccines for long periods without being cooled.

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。
A Meal with a Smile
At eleven years old,my main concern was money. Where could I get it? What would I spend it on?How much did I need to buy the new must-have thing my classmates either had or wanted just as badly as I did?
I went to my mom. “Mom,I need more money,” I said,leaning against the kitchen counter while she cooked dinner. “What else can kids do for a job around here?”
“You think you need a job?” Mom asked with a smile. “You could just enjoy the summer like the other kids,you know?” “I’ll still have time for that,but I want to work. ” I shrugged. “Okay, let me ask around.” Mom finally agreed.
The next day,she had an answer. “Your grandmother will pay you to help her deliver lunch each day to the elderly.” I couldn’t wait to start my new job on Monday after school dismissed for the summer.
When my grandmother picked me up, I thanked her for the job with questions. “It’s simple. We pick up a large container full of hot meals in a nearby town and then we go on our delivery route.” That was easy.
After our load was arranged in the backseat, my grandmother drove us to our first stop: a small house. I nearly jumped when I glanced over to see a tiny old woman in the corner looking at me. When I drew near to her,she smiled at me, revealing no teeth. The house smelled terrible and old like the antique stores my mom liked to visit. I held my breath until we went back out onto the porch. Was this really how some people lived? I couldn’t wrap my head around it.
The next stop was much the same and the next. The houses varied in size and shape,some were nicer than others, but the same wrinkly people eagerly waited for their meals. Each person smiled at me and thanked again and again as I hurried to get out of there. I was sweaty and tired.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
On our way back home, I sat at the backseat silently with the idea of giving up.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Her words touched me deeply and I decided to continue the job.
