21、 As a teenager in the 1990s, Melissa Blake was interested in fashion. Unfortunately, fashion wasn't much interested in her. Blake, who has a genetic bone and muscle disorder and stands a little under 4 feet tall, couldn't find jeans or dresses in her size. Paging through magazines, she didn't see a single person like her. “That would have been a game changer for me,” says Blake, who had 26 surgeries before age 17 to treat her Freeman-Sheldon syndrome.
So far，Blake, 39, has spent her adult life trying to make up for that. She is a disability-rights activist as well as a freelance (自由职业) writer whose work has appeared in the New York Times and Glamour, but she gained a national following in 2019 after clapping back at people who made ugly comments about her online.l To gimswr
Blake posted a new selfie (自拍) every day. “Some selfies were serious, like the ones where I talked about disabilities or how I was feeling on not-so-good days. Some were fun and silly, but each was a celebration，and each carried a message. However, some people said that I should be banned from posting photos of myself because I'm too ugly. I feel like every time I post a selfie or share something about my life as a disabled woman, it is representation to fight that,”Blake told WBUR.
Her fans went wild, calling Blake a goddess and a powerful: woman. Among her fans is Mindy Scheier, the founder and CEO of Runway of Dreams, which displays fashion for people with disabilities. Last fall, Scheier asked Blake to be one of the event's 24 models.
“It was a little scary,” Blake says of modeling. But she's glad she took the challenge. “When disabled people are included, it sends a message that we should get a seat at the table in all aspects of life.”

22、 Theresa May is the second female prime minister（首相）, taking charge of the UK at one of the most hard times in recent political history.
Born in Sussex but raised largely in Oxfordshire, Mrs. May was educated in a grammar school in the village of Wheatley. The young Theresa Brasier threw herself into village life.
Like Margaret Thatcher, she went to the University of Oxford to study. In 1976, in her third year, she met her husband Philip May. They were introduced at a Conservative Association disco and got married four years later.
Her university friend Pat Frankland, speaking in 2011 on a BBC Radio 4, said, “I cannot remember a time when she did not have political ambitions（政治抱负）.”
There are no tales of drunken student celebration, but Pat Frankland and other friends said May was not the serious figure she would later come to be seen as, and that she had a sense of fun and a full social life.
After graduating with a degree in geography, May went to work in the Bank of England. But it was already clear that she saw her future in politics. Like Margaret Thatcher, it took a bit of time for her to find hers. She first dipped her toe in the water in 1992, when she gained a Labour seat in North West Durham. She entered Parliament in 1997 and Theresa was chosen as Home Secretary（内政大臣） in May 2010 and became the longest-serving Conservative Home Secretary for over 60 years. During this time she was in charge of reductions in crime, reform of the police, and the introduction of the landmark Modern Slavery Act 2015.
Following her election as Leader of the Conservative Party, Theresa was chosen as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom on 13th July 2016.

23、Known for its skyscrapers and megamalls, Singapore is perhaps not so well-known for its abundance of trees. But according to a new study, it ranks top in the world for urban tree density (密度).
According to the study, almost 30% of the city-state is covered by trees, which is nearly 4% more than joint second-place cities Sydney, Australia and Vancouver, Canada. The study was completed by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the World Economic Forum (WEF) and has measured the urban green canopy (天蓬似的树荫)of 17 key cities around the world using Google Street View data. Of the 17 cities, Paris has the fewest trees with only 8.8% of its urban area covered by greenery. “The green canopy is an important and integral part of urban life. Trees help mitigate extreme temperatures, provide a natural relief from traffic jam and noise, and improve the quality of life for those living in urban environments,”says Treepedia, the website which hosts the findings of the study. The project has the aim of encouraging city planners and residents to do more to promote greenery in their cities.
Nicknamed the City in a Garden, Singapore’s top place spot is no surprise. Parks such as the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, the Botanic Gardens and the newer Gardens by the Bay super park — home to around 400,000 plants—have no doubt contributed to its winning place. The city also has a considerable number of roof gardens and “skyrise” greenery on the front wall of buildings—in fact this type of greenery alone has increased from 61 hectares in 2013 to 72 hectares in 2015. Singapore’s National Parks Board also manages around two million individual trees along streets, and in parks.
【1】Which of the following cites have the least urban green canopy?
A．Sydney.
B．Vancouver.
C．Paris.
D．Singapore.
【2】What does the underlined word "mitigate" in paragraph 2 probably mean ?
A．decrease
B．take
C．record
D．form
【3】What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A．Why Singapore is so green.
B．The architecture in Singapore.
C．How Singaporeans plant trees.
D．The amazing parks in Singapore.
【4】Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Green City, Green Life
B．How to Make a City Greener
C．A Study on Green Cities in the World
D．Singapore, the Greenest City in the World
24、Staying Motivated When Studying
Some people say that the hardest step in studying is to get started. Other people, however, find it difficult to stay motivated, especially when the end seems a long way away. This situation arises. There is no single strategy that will work for everyone. However, 【1】 and you can see if they work for you in supporting ongoing motivation.
Keep your end goal in mind
One of the best ways to stay motivated is to remember why you are studying in the first place. “Getting good exam results” is not necessarily very motivating. Instead, you need to look beyond that to what the exam results will get you,【2】 The more detail you can provide for your goal, the easier it will be to keep in mind.
Get into a study routine
It is generally easier to stay motivated if your studying becomes part of your everyday life. For example, you might choose to get up an hour earlier, and spend that hour studying each day. That way, 【3】, because you know that it is set aside for a purpose. Your friends and family will also get to know when your study time happens, and hopefully avoid you then.
【4】
Especially when you first start studying, you will not necessarily know what works for you. It is therefore worth trying different ways of doing, to see which you find most productive. You may find it helpful to vary your style of working. You could, for example, try working in different places. You could also try different types of activities. Options include reading over your notes, writing a mind map, making up songs or poems to help you remember facts.
【5】.
There are plenty of people to tell you that they have the answer to staying motivated while studying.They may have the answer for them, but only you can work out the answer for you.
A.There is no “one size fits all”
B.Try various study approaches
C.Break the task down into different parts
D.there are plenty of options that you can try
E.it is easier to avoid being distracted during your study time
F.A system of short-term goals and suitable rewards may be needed
G.whether that is a place at your chosen school or university, or a new job
25、The days that make us happy make us wise.
——John Masefield
When I first read this line by England’s Poet Laureate, it _________ me. What did Masefield mean? Without thinking about it much, I had always assumed that the opposite was _________. But his serious assurance was _________. I was deeply attracted by it.
Slowly, I seemed to _________ his meaning and realized the wisdom that happiness makes possible lies in clear perception (洞察力), not _________ by anxiety nor dimmed by despair and boredom, and without the blind _________ caused by fear.
Active happiness—not mere satisfaction or fulfillment—often comes _________, like an April shower or the unfolding of a bud. Then you discover what kind of wisdom has _________ it.
