21、 As a little girl growing up in the early 1960s in a suburb of Pittsburgh, it was not always easy to find role models, But I was lucky. In my childhood, I knew smart, strong women who had accomplished much, one of whom invented the world’s first computer compiler (编译器).
Recently, though, I learned about a role model who was right under my nose—my own mother.
Growing up, I knew she had worked as a secretary before I was born. I knew that she had joined the WAVES—the Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service branch of the U.S. Naval Reserve (海军预备队)—during World War Ⅱ. And I knew she’d worked in an office that was involved with codes (编码). But when she talked about it—rare, because she had been sworn to secrecy—she described her duties as ordinary, routine. I never questioned it. After all, the woman I knew was a reserved suburban mom.
Not long ago, a chance conversation with a colleague led me to the book, Code Girls. It tells the story of the WAVES, who decrypted (解码) and encrypted secret messages during the war. They worked around the clock, knowing that the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers—their brothers, husbands, fathers—were on the line.
Inspired, I began a journey to explore the mystery of my mother’s service that continues to this day. I got some of her working records about her unit, OP19. In two years, she was promoted three times. She was no secretary, and her duties were hardly ordinary.
My mother always encouraged my interest in science and insisted to my father that I go to college. “You’re going to grow up to be another Madame Curie,” she told me. She was always pointing at other women. She did not see herself as someone to model on. Neither did I. Now I see her differently.
【1】Why didn’t the author’s mother tell the truth about her job?
A. She was afraid of being fired by her company.
B. She thought her job was just unremarkable.
C. She thought secretary was better than her real job.
D. She knew well what to be expected of her career.
【2】Which of the following words can best describe the authors mother?
A. Devoted and faithful. B. Ambitious and reserved.
C. Cooperative and sincere. D. Hardworking and skeptical.
【3】What can we learn from the text?
A. The author doubted her mother’s job when she was a child.
B. The author’s mother saw herself as an example to follow.
C. Code Girls’ job is more important than that of the soldiers.
D. Code Girls inspired the author to learn more of her mother.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Code Girls, My Favourite Book.
B. Mom, My Real Role Model.
C. The OP19, A Buried Secret.
D. WAVES, A Mysterious Organization.
22、 Insects could disappear within a century at current rate of decline, says global review.
The world’s insects are rushing down the path to extinction, threatening a “catastrophic collapse of nature’s ecosystems”, according to the first global scientific review. More than 40% of insect species are declining and a third are endangered, the analysis found. The rate of extinction is eight times faster than that of mammals, birds and reptiles.
“It should be of huge concern to all of us, for insects are at the heart of every food web, they pollinate(授粉) the large majority of plant species, keep the soil healthy, recycle nutrients, control pests, and much more. Love them or hate them, we humans cannot survive without insects, ” said Professor Dave Goulson at the University of Sussex in the UK. In the food web, a creature often feeds on many kinds of creatures, and the same creature is eaten by many consumers. Therefore, when one species of organism is reduced or even extinct, other organisms will be affected.
The analysis says intensive agriculture is the main driver of the declines, particularly the heavy use of pesticides(杀虫剂). Urbanization and climate change are also significant factors.
One of the biggest impacts of insect loss is on the many birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish that eat insects. A small number of adaptable species are increasing in number, but not nearly enough to outweigh the big losses.
Matt Shardlow, at the conservation charity Buglife, said: “It is alarming to see this collation of evidence that demonstrates the pitiful state of the world’s insect populations. It is increasingly obvious that the planet’s ecology is breaking and there is a need for an intense and global effort to stop and reverse these dreadful trends.”
【1】Why cannot we humans survive without insects according to Professor Dave Goulson?
A.Humans feed on insects.
B.Insects pollinate most plant species.
C.Humans love and hate insects.
D.Insects are at the centre of all food webs.
【2】What is the main idea of the text?
A.The decline of insects threatens collapse of nature.
B.Insects extinct faster than mammals, birds and reptiles.
C.Insects keep the soil health and control pests.
D.Using pesticides is the main cause of the decline of insects.
【3】How does the author sound in the article?
A.Humorous B.Hopeful C.Worried D.Disappointed
23、阅读短文, 按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
I remember the day I sat down and considered my future quite clearly. I had been widowed recently, and I had an elderly mother to support but no income of my own. I no longer had the luxury of a husband supporting me, so it was time to get a job. With my background and qualifications, the easiest way for me to earn money was to become a teacher.
A friend told me his school was looking for an English teacher, so I arranged an interview with the principal. Fifteen minutes after stepping into her office, I was given the job and asked if I was able to begin teaching that same day. The current English teacher appeared very keen to leave!
I wondered why she had made such an abrupt decision, but I was secretly pleased that her loss had become my gain. I walked towards the classroom on that first day, wondering about the wisdom of my decision to accept the principal’s offer. The thought of standing in front of a group of teenagers made me scared and I started to panic.
The classroom was empty when I entered it. Slowly, the teenagers I was expecting arrived in groups of four and five. Finally every seat was taken and I stared out at the blank faces in front of me. They had been shown little respect and so they had given up on education and on themselves. No one was listening or seemed to care what I was doing. I knew I wasn’t a gifted teacher and it was only my first day, but nothing I did motivated these students. They were bored and restless.
I knew why their previous teacher had left. That night I sat at home. The same question kept repeating itself in my head, even when I tried to distract myself by watching late-night movies: “How could I make a huge difference to their lives?”. I decided I would take up the challenge. It was a slow process, but it was also the most rewarding experience of my life. It took time, but my patience was rewarded. They had discovered the joy of learning and I had discovered what it really means to be a teacher.

24、 Photographic self-portraits have existed for as long as cameras have been in human hands. But what about selfies in space? On Twitter last year, NASA astronaut Edwin Buzz Aldrin, who famously became the second man to walk on the moon in July 1969, laid claim to a spaceflight first; taking the first selfie in space during the Gemini XII mission in 1966.
“For me, it needs to be digital to be a selfie.” argues Jennifer Levasseur, a director at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. According to Levasseur, the concept of a selfie is directly linked to internet culture. “The thing that makes a selfie a selfie is sharing it.” she says.
Still, astronauts have been carrying cameras aboard space vehicles since the 1960s. In 1966, Aldrin used a Hasselblad camera designed specifically for space, with an extra-large trigger to accommodate the astronaut's thick gloves. Hasselblad also painted the first camera in space a matte black to reduce reflections in the orbiter window. But cameras used in space need to survive extreme conditions, like temperature swings from - 149° to 248°F, so Hasselblad painted later models silver.
Astronauts visiting the moon then had to take out the film magazines and leave their camera bodies behind when they returned to Earth, because early space missions were limited by a weight limit on the return trip. Then a big change in space camera technology came after the space shuttle Columbia broke apart on its return to Earth in 2003. Levasseur notes. “Fear that they’d never be able to bring film back from space and lose all that hard work” accelerated the push for digital, she says.
Today, astronauts also have access to internet and social platforms in space and can post true space selfies made using digital cameras. Similarly, space robots are participating in selfie culture, capturing remote pictures of themselves in space or on other planets and sending them back to Earth.
【1】Why do selfies in space need to be digital according to Jennifer Levasseur?
A．Astronauts are fond of studying technology.
B．Astronauts are eager to improve themselves.
C．Astronauts desire to communicate on social platforms.
D．Astronauts want to take some related information back.
【2】Why can the Hasselblad camera adjust to the temperature changes in space?
A．It is painted silver.
B．Its matte black gathers light.
C．Its trigger is large enough.
D．It can reduce reflection itself.
【3】What contributed to the faster development of camera technology in space?
A．The heavy space tasks.
B．A spaceflight crash.
C．A damaged space shuttle.
D．The improved film.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．The Origin of Selfies in Space
B．The Popularity of Selfies in Space
C．The Significance of Selfies in Space
D．The Brief History of Selfies in Space
