21、Diana Golden was twelve years old when she had cancer. She was walking home one day after playing in the snow when her right leg simply gave out. Doctors diagnosed the problem as bone cancer. They recommended removing her leg above the knee.
When Diana heard the news, she asked the only first question: “Will I be still able to ski?”
“When the doctors said yes,” she later recalled, “I figured it wouldn’t be too bad.”
Losing a leg would cause most children to lose confidence and hope, but Diana refused to dwell on the negative. “It is nothing. A body part.” she’d say.
Most of all, Diana was not discouraged. She loved skiing and she had been on skis since the age of five. After the operation, Diana worked hard to get back to the mountain near her home. “I always skied and I intended to keep on skiing. I never doubt that.” she declared. Diana met her goal. She was back out on the slopes.
With just one leg, Diana made the best of it. In high school, Diana became a member of her school’s ski racing team. And in 1979, when she was just seventeen, she joined the US Disabled Ski Team.
After high school, Diana went on to Dartmouth College. Determined not to be left behind, Diana continued her training with the Dartmouth team. “I had one leg, which meant I had to do it differently.” she later explained.
In 1982, Diana entered her first international ski race. She won the world Handicapped Championship in Norway. In 1986, Diana won the Beck Award given to the best American racer in international skiing. And in 1988, she was named Ski Racing Magazine’s U.S. Female Skier of the Year.
With her courage and determination, Diana has changed how people look at disabled athletes. “Everyone has some kind of disability,” Diana says. “It’s what we do with our abilities that matters.”
In 1990, Diana retired from racing for good.

22、 In times of crisis (危机), people can be truly amazing. Age, wealth, race, religion, politics and all the other things that make us who we are as individuals seem to matter a little less, and the fact that we are all humans in this world together comes to matter more.
Seni Felic owns a restaurant in San Francisco called Bistro SF Grill, and he is feeling optimistic despite the crisis caused by COVID-19 “We’re going to pool our resources and people will pull together, and it will have a strong effect on solving any problems,” he told Reader’s Digest. With this in mind, he decided to offer nonprofit lunches and dinners in his restaurant.
“We are inviting all to stop by Bistro SF Grill to take a lunch or dinner box with food prepared in advance. The price is only $5.50 and it covers our expenses. We’d like to give for free, but we can’t afford it. Our idea was: Let’s try to help.” he said.
Despite San Francisco’s “shelter-in-place” order, Felic said they still plan to offer meals. The move deals with three problems in the community: offering various high-quality food to people who may not be able to cook or who can’t afford Whole Foods prices; helping the business continue operating during the crisis; and paying some of the hourly workers who make the food so that they can earn enough money to get through the hard times.
He believes that working together and helping others will be the key to helping all to get through this. “This problem will be controlled, and I just feel optimistic,” he added. “When people come together and cooperate, I think we can overcome almost anything.”
【1】What made Seni Felic optimistic during the time of COVID-19?
A.His religious belief. B.His decision to offer meals.
C.People’s working together. D.The government’s order.
【2】What can we learn about the restaurant’s move to offer nonprofit meals?
A.People should take a box to pack the food.
B.The meals will be given for free.
C.Only poor people can get the food.
D.It can help its workers survive the crisis.
【3】Which of the following best describes Seni Felic?
A.Kind and optimistic. B.Brave and energetic.
C.Caring and humorous. D.Helpful and patient.
23、 By the end of the century, if not sooner, the world’s oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study.
At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny marine microorganisms (海洋微生物) called phytoplankton. Because of the way light reflects off the organisms, these phytoplankton create colourful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean colour varies from green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas, while reducing it in other spots, leading to changes in the ocean’s appearance.
Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) into the ocean while giving off oxygen. When these organisms die, they bury carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that helps to regulate the global climate. But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean’s warming trend. Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.
Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MIT’s Center for Global Change Science, built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century. In a world that warms up by 39C, it found that multiple changes to the colour of the oceans would occur. The model projects that currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer. But in some waters, such as those of the Arctic, a warming will make conditions riper for phytoplankton, and these areas will tum greener.” Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing,” she said, “but the type of phytoplankton is changing.”
And why does that matter? Phytoplankton are the base of the food web. If certain kinds begin to disappear from the ocean, Dutkiewicz said, “it will change the type of fish that will be able to survive.” Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain.
Whatever colour changes the ocean experiences in the coming decades will probably be too gradual and unnoticeable, but they could mean significant changes. “It’ll be a while before we can statistically show that the changes are happening because of climate change,” Dutkiewicz said, “ but the change in the colour of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we really have changed our planet.”
【1】What directly makes the change of the ocean’s appearance?
A.The increase of phytoplankton.
B.The way light reflects off the organisms.
C.The type and concentration of phytoplankton.
D.The decline of phytoplankton.
【2】What does the underlined word “project” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Control. B.Use.
C.Predict. D.Discover.
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A.Phytoplankton are sensitive to the ocean’s warming trend.
B.Phytoplankton absorb carbon dioxide at the bottom of the ocean.
C.Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear bluer
D.Data have been found to show the change in the colour of the ocean
【4】What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton.
B.To explain the effect of climate change on oceans.
C.To analyze the consequences of ocean colour changes.
D.To analyze the composition of the ocean food chain.
24、The most detailed study yet of the physics of a finger snap (响指) has shown that in terms of acceleration (加速度), no other body movement comes close. Using high speed cameras, the researchers found that it reached a speed about 20 times faster than the blink of an eye. This “rotational (旋转的) acceleration” was nearly three times greater than the previous record for humans, set by a professional baseball player's arm.
The research, published in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface, divides the finger snap into three stages. First, force is first built up by pressing the thumb and middle fingers together. This appears to be stored in springlike muscle in the fingers and forearm. Friction (摩擦力) between the two fingers acts like a latch (门闩), preventing the energy from being released. Eventually, an “unlatching” process begins, with the thumb moving sideways and the middle finger quickly sliding past the thumb, starting the snap motion. The middle finger then slips into the palm, generating shockwaves that result in a “pop” sound.
The study was inspired by the Hollywood movie Avengers: Infinity War and the character Thanos, who destroys half the universe by snapping his fingers. He does this while wearing a metal glove. When they saw this scene, Dr Saad Bhamla, the leading researcher, and his colleagues asked themselves if this was possible - could you snap your fingers while wearing a metal glove?
They explored the role of friction by covering fingers with different materials, including metallic thimbles (金属套管), which reduced friction. The researchers concluded that a “Goldilocks zone” of friction was necessary. Too little friction and not enough energy was stored to power the snap. Too much friction led to displacement of energy as the fingers took longer to slide past each other, “wasting” the stored energy as heat. “Our results suggest that Thanos could not have snapped because of his metal armoured fingers. So, it's probably the Hollywood special effects, rather than actual physics, at play,” said Bhamla.
【1】What can we learn from paragraph 1?
A.The finger snap is the fastest acceleration of our body.
B.The blink of an eye is faster than a finger snap.
C.People can have faster acceleration if they want.
D.Baseball players have the fastest acceleration.
【2】What does the underlined word “This” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.The position of the thumb.
B.The rotational acceleration.
C.Friction between two fingers.
D.Potential energy from pressing fingers.

A.They questioned a movie scene.
B.They suspected the function of fingers.
C.They wanted to prove a theory in the movie.
D.They hoped to create different movie scenes.
【4】What did the researchers find in the end?
A.A finger snap can happen in any movie.
B.Wearing a metal glove can snap a magic sound.
C.The finger snap of Thanos in the movie is just a play.
D.The friction between fingers is occasionally out of control.
