21、 During the outbreak of novel coronavirus, cities are locked down and borders are closed. Science, on the contrary, is becoming more open. And this “open science” is already making a difference.
Soon after the epidemic started in China, a research team from Fudan University in Shanghai successfully sequenced (测定序列) the DNA of the virus. But they didn’t keep the information to themselves. Instead, they placed the sequences on GenBank, an open-access data platform, so researchers around the world could download them for free and start studying the virus.
Due to this openness, pharmaceutical ( 制 药 的 ) companies across the globe are now able to work simultaneously (同时地) to develop a vaccine. “There may be room for multiple different vaccines for different purposes and different age groups,” Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Health Security in the US, told Al Jazeera. “The bigger menu we have of vaccines, the more resilient (有适应力的) we’ll be against coronavirus outbreaks in the future.”
Major drug companies around the world are also sharing their study results. Remdesivir, a drug originally developed by US company Gilead Sciences to treat Ebola, is found to be promising in fighting against the novel coronavirus. Currently, two trials of the drug are already underway in China, and the results might be available as soon as April, according to The Verge.
【1】Which of the following statement is not the main things the epidemic has caused?
A.Cities are locked down.
B.Borders are closed.
C.Borders is becoming more open to fight against it.
D.“Open science”plays an important role.
【2】What are mentioned as the examples of “open science” in this part?
a. A research team from Fudan University placed the sequences of the virus onto an open access data platform.
b. Companies across the globe share their developed vaccine.
c. Major drug companies share their study results.
d. US company Gilead Sciences developed drugs to treat Ebola.
A.ab B.ac C.bc D.cd
【3】What if Chinese scientists kept the information to themselves?
A.The research process could be delayed and the chance of defeating the virus would be lessened.
B.They could let the world download the information for free.
C.The world could develop the vaccine more quicker than now.
D.Chinse scientists could work to help the world.
22、 Parties and social gatherings no longer excite us the same way they once did. This is not due to a lack of desire to socialize, but the smartphone.
At parties, more people are on their smartphones than on their drinks. According to a recent International Data Corporation study, well over half of all Americans have a smartphone and reach for it the moment they wake up, keeping it in hand all day. In addition, too many people in society are using smartphones while driving and as a result, they get into car crashes. 34 percent of teenagers admit to texting while driving, and they confirm that text messaging is their number one driving interruption. People’s attachment to their smartphones is unbelievably becoming more important than the lives of themselves and others.
Just as drivers dismiss the importance of focusing while on the road, many people also fail to recognize the significance of human interaction. When with their friends, some people pointlessly check or send text messages in the presence of a friend, which sends a message to that friend: the person I am texting is more important than you. In addition, relying on our smartphones to make friends does not give us the same advantage as being able to make new friendships in the real world. Face-to-face conversations will give us much stronger communication skills in the long run.
As many people risk their lives and the lives of people around them just to send a text or mindlessly check their messages, smartphones are in many ways more dangerous to people. The quality of this technology is hindering(阻碍) social achievements and weakening the value of communication. Not only is the smartphone affecting our desire to interact (交流) face-to-face, but it is also lowering society’s ability to communicate.
【1】The purpose of this text is to ___________.
A.call for an end to use the smartphone while driving
B.appeal to us to pay attention to communication skills
C.express a concern about the overuse of the smartphone
D.advise us to be cautious about the addiction to the smartphone
【2】The second paragraph is developed by ______________.
A.giving examples
B.listing figures
C.comparing facts
D.analyzing the effects
【3】The author advises us to make new friends ______________.
A.by using smartphones
B.in a face-to-face way
C.in different ways
D.under a free circumstance
【4】Overdependence on the smartphone leads to the fact that ______________.
A.parties and gatherings limit their social circle
B.people are more and more narrow-minded
C.people’s communication skills are weakened
D.face-to-face communication becomes less important
23、阅读理解。
Regarded as one of the English language’s most gifted poets, John Keats wrote poetry that concentrated on imagery, human nature, and philosophy. Although Keats didn’t receive much formal literary education, his own studies and passion brought him much success. Additionally, his own life situation influenced his poetry greatly.
Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower middle-class family, the young John didn’t attend a private school, but went to a public one. His teachers and his family’s friends regarded him as an optimistic boy who favored playing and fighting much more than minding his studies. After his father’s death in the early 1800s, followed by his mother’s passing due to tuberculosis (肺结核), he began viewing life differently. He wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on.
At around the age of 16, the teenage John Keats began studying under a surgeon so that he too might become a doctor. However, his literary appetite had taken too much of his fancy, especially with his addiction to the poetry of Ehmund Spenser. He was able to have his first full poem published in the Examiner in 1816, entitled O Solitude! If I Must With Thee Dwell. Within two months in 1817, Keats had written an entire volume of poetry, but was sharply criticized by a magazine. However, the negative response didn’t stop his pursuit of rhythm (韵律).
John Keats’ next work was Endymion, which was published in May 1818. The story involves a shepherd who falls in love with the moon goddess and leads him on an adventure of one boy’s hope to overcome the limitations of being human. Following Engymion, however, he tried something more narrative-based and wrote Isabella. During this time, John Keats began seeing his limitations in poetry due to his own limit in life experiences. He would have to have the “knowledge” associated with his poems. His next work was Hyperion that would attempt to combine all that he learned. However, a bout (发作) with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would keep him from his work and eventually take his life in 1821.
【1】John Keats’ attitude towards life changed because of _________.
A. his early education from school
B. the deaths of his parents
C. Edmund Spenser’s poetry
D. the criticism of a magazine
【2】What is the common thing between John Keats and his mother?
A. They read many books.
B. They had a bad childhood
C. They died of the same disease.
D. They showed strong interest in poetry
【3】What do we know from the passage?
A. Keats received little education at school.
B. Keats once had a chance of becoming a doctor.
C. In 1816 Keats spent two months writing a poem.
D. Endymion was about a real love story.
【4】While pursuing his dream of becoming a poet at first, John Keats was __________.
A. determined B. experienced
C. knowledgeable D. impatient
【5】What can we infer from the passage?
A. Keats’ family must have been very poor when he was young.
B. Edmund Spenser was the greatest poet in Keats’ time.

24、 Animals in the Arctic, including reindeer and golden eagles, are migrating earlier due to climate change, say researchers who have gathered a huge amount of data to study the behavior of 86 Arctic species over the past three decades.
“We have the ability to keep our eyes on animal movements on a very large scale,” says Eliezer Gurarie at the University of Maryland. “It seems that animals are unknowingly reacting and adapting to climatic changes, and have been doing for years.”
Gurarie and his team used GPS and satellites to track the spring migration of more than 900 female reindeer over the past 15 years. They discovered that the females are migrating to give birth about a day earlier year on year, probably as a result of warming temperatures. Earlier birthing times can be risky in northern parts of the Arctic, says team member Gil Bohrer at Ohio State University. “There are higher chances of their children facing strong and unexpected storms,” he says. If they do, many will die because they cannot deal with extreme conditions.
Similarly, golden eagles — which usually nest in the Arctic area — have been starting their spring migration half a day earlier each year over the past 25 years.
“The day-to-day change of climate is very small,” says Bohrer. “To understand how animals react to climate change, you need a very long period of observation — something that has only recently been possible.”
The researchers’ archive of Arctic animal movement currently covers more than 15 million data points related to 8000 animals. “Our archive can help to advise management methods to preserve endangered species, as climate change only becomes more extreme,” says Bohrer.
【1】What can we conclude from Gurarie’s words?
A.Researchers can guide animal movements.
B.Animals can adapt to climate change easily.
C.Animals don’t know how to react to the changes.
D.Earlier migration is animals’ reaction to warmer climate.
【2】What is a possible bad effect of animals’ giving birth earlier?
A.Children have less opportunity to survive.
B.There will be more unexpected storms.
C.Fewer children will be delivered.
D.They may migrate earlier in spring.
【3】What does Bohrer want to stress in Paragraph 5?
A.The small change of climate.
B.The challenge of the research.
C.The possibility of observing animals.
D.The purpose of the research.
【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.The observation of animals.
B.Newly-found animals in danger.
C.The discovery of animals’ migrating earlier.
D.Animals’ extinction caused by global warming.

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。
I received an urgent call from my aunt. “Turn on the TV. Granny’s on the Channel 10 news.” It turned out that Granny had made a sandwich run for her office and was stopped at a red light downtown. She had the window rolled down to enjoy the breeze when a man rushed up to the driver’s side window, intending to carjack (劫车) her.
Now, what the would-be carjacker couldn't have known was that this woman simply wasn’t “a granny”. This was Nancy Johnson — the same woman who owned and lived on a Texas cattle farm, drove her own tractors, and dug her own post holes to lay fence. The week before, she had shot a rattlesnake and chopped off its head with a shovel. She was the proud owner of the new minivan (小型货车) she was driving. In other words, she was not your normal kind of granny.
The carjacker leaned into the open window, one hand stuffed in his pocket, and said, “Get out of this car. I have a gun, and I will shoot you.” A statement like that would have terrified anyone else. Instead, Granny saw it as a challenge. “If you really had a gun in your pocket, you would've pulled it out and led with that first,” she shouted at him, apparently unworried.
She was right. The criminal didn't have a gun. He instead reached into the window, grabbed her, and tried to pull her out of the van. He pulled open the door, wildly catching Granny’s arms. Granny leaned her shoulder inside to press the horn (喇叭) and started yelling to make people around notice what was happening. With the door now open, she held tight the steering wheel with one arm and started kicking the man anywhere her foot could make contact. This tall woman had quite a reach.
