22、 Although vaccines are required for entry into school in most places in the United States, the government does allow for exceptions, like religious reasons.
In the last few years, the rates of vaccine-preventable illness have been on the rise. In most cases, these outbreaks began with children who were unvaccinated. To deal with this threat, some schools in New York have been refusing to allow unvaccinated children to attend school. Several parents thought this was unfair and filed lawsuits. Just recently, though, a court ruled in favor of the city schools.
The court made the right decision. Vaccine policy depends not only on the added protection that vaccines provide for those who get shots, but also on the decreased likelihood that anyone will come into contact with the disease. This is known as community immunity. It refers to the fact that when enough people are immunized, then there really can’t be an outbreak. And if there can’t be an outbreak, then everyone is protected.
This is important, because there are people who cannot be given immunizations for various reasons. For example, small babies can’t be given all vaccines.
In 1995, the chicken pox vaccine was introduced in the United States. Over time, more and more children received it. In 2011, a study looked at how the program affected the number of children who died from the disease.
The first thing noted in the paper was that death from chicken pox went down considerably after the vaccine was introduced. From 2001 through 2007, the rates of death remained much lower, with just a few children dying from chicken pox nationally each year.
What’s more from 2004 through 2007, not one child less than 1 year of age died in the United States from chicken pox. This is important, because we cannot give the chicken pox vaccine to babies. In other words, all those babies were saved not because we vaccinated them against this illness, but because older children were.
Therefore, people who refuse to vaccinate their children aren’t just putting themselves at risk — they’re putting everyone else in danger, too.
【1】Whose interest did the judges take into consideration?
A．Students’.
B．School leaders’.
C．Several parents’.
D．Unvaccinated kids’.
【2】What is needed to prevent disease outbreaks through “community immunity”?
A．Requiring everyone to be immune.
B．Vaccinating babies as early as possible.
C．Making sure enough people get vaccinated.
D．Separating unvaccinated people from vaccinated.
【3】What does the study about the chicken pox vaccine show?
A．The vaccine is safe for every kid.
B．No deaths have been seen since 2004.
C．The vaccine has lowered the death rate.
D．The vaccine is more effective among babies.
【4】Which of the following would the author agree with?
A．No vaccine, no risk.
B．No vaccine, no school.
C．Vaccination is a personal choice.
D．Vaccine-preventable illness is dropping.
23、“Cash or credit?” Is that statement becoming a phrase of the past? New technology and tools that support cashless payment options have speeded up this process and made us feel that were on our way towards a cashless society. Is this a good or a bad thing? Let's take a look at both sides of the issue.
The most obvious benefits of a cashless society are simplicity and convenience. What can be easier than sending a P2P payment or tapping your phone? There's no need to visit a credit union branch or ATM to obtain cash or worry about not having enough cash on hand to make a purchase.
Plus, a cashless society saves cost. The manufacturing of bills and coins is expensive, and cash handling is even more so. Think about everything that a retail business needs to do with cash—store it, withdraw it, deposit it, etc. And, in the case of credit unions or other financial institutions, consider the cost of security, gas, truck maintenance, etc. when transporting large sums of cash between locations.
However, with cash payments, you can send and receive funds safely and anonymously. But that's not possible with electronic payments, which leave a digital trace behind them with a wealth of information about both your transaction and you.
Besides, electronic payments are fat targets for hackers whose goal is to obtain and use transferred funds for their own evil purposes. At the same time, a cashless payment is like an open door to identity theft since so much information about individual consumers can be stolen.
Finally, when it comes to technology issues, making a cash payment is a simple, low-tech act. There's no need to worry about unsafe software, bad network connections, service breakdown, limited server space, or other technical problems. But in a cashless society, where even a dead cell phone battery can cut a consumer off from access to his or her funds, such technology issues can be quite challenging.
【1】What can we learn from the passage?
A．In terms of technology, cashless payment is simpler.
B．Cash-free business is cost-effective in many aspects.
C．Many young citizens still prefer cash or credit to e-payment.
D．Electronic payments will not involve any of your privacy.
【2】What is the author's attitude towards a cashless society?
A．Cautious.
B．Objective.
C．Doubtful.
D．Indifferent.
【3】Which of the following shows the structure of the text?
①=Paragraph1 ②=Paragraph2 ③=Paragraph3 ④Paragrapha4 ⑤=Paragraph5 ⑥=Paragraph6

24、 When you eat a traditional ice cream in summer, you need to finish it quickly to make sure the treat doesn’t end up melting down your hand. Reach for an ice cream sandwich instead, and you’ll, find the ice cream stays solid longer magically. An ice cream that refuses to melt seems unnatural, but you might be surprised by what’s really behind its practically heatproof (耐热的) abilities.
Ice cream without a proper container in the fridge would lead to ice blocks because of its water content. Most ice cream contains some elements called emulsifiers (乳化剂) that can keep water to fat to prevent ice blocks. They go a step further by helping to keep ice cream consistent, even under the hot sun. On an element list, you might find different chemicals with the same goal: to hold water in so the ice cream doesn’t melt quickly. Ice cream sandwiches generally contain more of those chemicals including emulsifiers than hand-made ones.
If you’re worried about some additives (添加剂) in ice cream sandwiches f which might belong in a lab rather than your kitchen, then you’d better be at ease. Even completely natural elements, which come from beans, might make you stop eating if you’ve heard about their misuse in weight-loss efforts.
Of course, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) takes any of the side effects of those chemicals into account, and the amount you’d find in an ice cream sandwich isn’t enough to cause health problems. While you meet someone willing to share his ice cream sandwiches with your kid, there’s no reason to fear your kid’s health safety. A slow melt rate method causes you less worry.
【1】Why would ice cream without a proper container in the fridge become ice blocks?
A.It is too big and thick. B.It has freezing medium in it.
C.It contains some water in it. D.It doesn’t have enough cream.
【2】Which one is the function of emulsifiers in ice cream sandwiches?
A.To keep the ice cream stay consistent.
B.To cover the ice cream to avoid sunlight.
C.To let the ice cream sandwiches taste better.
D.To protect the ice cream by keeping water out.
【3】What does the author intend to express in paragraph 3?
A.Natural elements from beans are bad for health.
B.Additives should be avoided during losing weight.
C.The additives in ice cream sandwiches arc harmless.
D.Emulsifiers in ice cream can make people become fat.
【4】What’s the author’s attitude towards kids’ eating ice cream sandwiches?
A.Approving. B.Worried.
C.Opposed. D.Doubtful.
