21、Volunteers are the backbone of the NHS (National Health Service). Time and time again I have seen the extraordinary impact they have on patient care. Without them, I do not think the NHS would survive. Yet they are often the unsung heroes of the health service. They go about their work quietly and with devotion, but often we overlook quite how important they are. Volunteers do the kind of work that doctors and nurses are unable to do, but is so important for the patients. Sometimes medicine can be too focused on the biological side of things — the diagnosis (诊断), the treatment, the pills and operations — and forgets that there is a social aspect that is just as important This is where volunteers can step in.
They have plenty of time to spend with patients, ensuring that they are comfortable, talking to them and listening to them in a way that many staff would love to do, but sadly just never have enough time. I remember an elderly woman who had come into hospital after she broke her leg, She was in pain, unable to walk and scared. Yet the thing that was causing her the most worry was the thought of her Yorkshire terrier at home, alone, without any food. From a medical perspective, this wasn’t a concern — it’s not something that the surgeons are going to prioritise (优先处理) worrying about when faced with someone so seriously unwell. The nurses on the ward have more than enough to do without thinking about a dog. Yet for the patient, this was the most important thing and there is no way she would have been able to focus on getting better until she knew her dog was looked after. In stepped Andy, a volunteer.
“Don’t worry. ” he reassured her, “I’ll sort everything out. ” He went round, checked on the dog and fed him and then sat and arranged for a charity which provides temporary homes to pets while their owners are in hospital. He even got regular photograph updates from the temporary parents that he showed the patient while she recovered to reassure her that her beloved dog was fine. It allowed the patient peace of mind to focus on getting better.
【1】Why are volunteers in NHS important?
A.Because NHS survives because of them.
B.Because they work quietly and devotedly.
C.Because they contribute to patients’ well-being.
D.Because they help doctors diagnose and treat patients.
【2】The author mentions the elderly woman in the second paragraph to ______.
A.show NHS volunteers’ role
B.show patients’ worries and pain
C.show NHS volunteers are ignored
D.show doctors are powerless sometimes
【3】Why did Andy show pictures of the patient’s dog to her?
A.To help her deal with boredom.
B.To prove the importance of his work.
C.To relieve her stress from her disease.
D.To drive away her worries about her dog.
【4】Which of the following can best describe Andy?

B.Brave and warm-hearted.
C.Ambitious and confident.

23、 When we talk about Americans barely into adulthood who are saddled with(担负着) unbearable levels of debt’ the conversation is almost always about student loan debt. But there’s a growing body of evidence suggesting that today’s young adults are also drowning in credit-card debt and that many of them will take this debt to their graves(坟墓).
More than 20% overspent their income by more than $ 100 every single month. Since they haven’t built up their credit histories yet, it's a safe bet that these young adults are paying relatively high interest rates on the resulting credit card debt.
Although many young people blame "socializing" as a barrier to saving money, most of them aren’t purchasing $ 20 drinks in trendy bars. They’re struggling with much more daily financial demands.
To a disturbingly large extent, the young and the broke are relying on credit cards to make it until their next payday. This obviously isn’t permanent in the long run, and it’s going to put a huge drag on their spending power even after they reach their peak earning years, because they’ll still be paying interest on that bottle of orange juice or box of spaghetti (意式面条)they bought a decade earlier.
A new study out of Ohio State University found that young adults are accumulating credit card debt at a more rapid rate than other age groups, and that they're slower at paying it off. "If what we found continues to hold true, we may have more elderly people with substantial financial problems in the future’" warns Lucia Dunn, professor of economics at Ohio State. "If our findings persist, we may be faced with a financial crisis among elderly people who can’t pay off their credit cards."
Dunn says a lot of these young people are never going to get out from under their credit card debt. "Many people are borrowing on credit cards so heavily that payoff rates at these levels are not plenty to recover their credit card debt by the end of their life which could have loss impacts for the credit card issuing banks,"
【1】What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A. Many young Americans will never be able to pay off their debts.
B. Credit cards play an increasingly important role in college life.
C. Credit cards are doing more harm than student loans.
D. The American credit card system is under criticism.
【2】Why do young people have to pay a higher interest on their credit card debt?
A. They tend to forget about the deadlines.
B. They haven't developed a credit history.
C. They are often unable to pay back in time.
D. They are inexperienced in managing money.
【3】What is said to be the consequence of young adults relying on credit cards to make ends meet?
A. It will place an unnecessary burden on society.
B. It will give them no motivation to work hard.
C. It will exert psychological pressure on them.
D. It will affect their future spending power.
【4】What will happen to young adults if their credit card debt keeps accumulating according to Lucia Dunn?
A. They will have to pay an increasingly higher interest rate.
B. They may experience a financial crisis in their old age.
C. Their quality of life will be affected.
D. Their credit cards may be cancelled.
【5】What does Lucia Dunn think might be a risk for the credit card issuing banks?
A. They go bankrupt as a result of over-lending.
B. They lose large numbers of their regular clients.
C. Their clients leave their debts unpaid upon death.
D. Their interest rates have to be reduced now and then.
24、 The U.S. is still out in front of global competitors when it comes to innovation (革新), but American universities-where new ideas often spread-have reason to look over their shoulders.
That's especially true for technologies like 5G phone networks and artificial intelligence. In President Donald Trump's opinion, they're exactly the fields where the U.S. has to lead - and also the ones where Asia, especially China, is catching up. Universities from China get more patents than their U.S. peers in wireless communications, according to research firm GreyB Services. In AI, 17 of the top 20 universities and public research organizations are in China, with the Chinese Academy of Sciences topping the list, says the World Intellectual Property Organization in Geneva.
There's a special place for universities in the development of science. Universities educate future scientists and can be incubators (孵化器) for pie-in-the-sky ideas-some of which turn out to be game-changers. The list ranges from Google's search engine to DNA technology that's behind a whole industry of gene-manipulating (基因编辑) treatments.
However, government aids to universities haven't been growing for more than a decade, meaning they've declined in real terms and as a share of the economy, leading to the cost increase for universities and meanwhile somehow discouraging the teaching staff from putting all their hearts into their scientific research.
“If you look at the federal dollars, they've not really changed considerably,” says Stephen Susalka, head of AUTM, a technology transfer association whose members include 800 universities. “Other countries are catching up. We can't be satisfied with what we have achieved.”
【1】What does the underlined phrase “look over their shoulders” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.Watch out B.Take off
C.Stand up D.Hide away

A.Universities can be birthplaces of game programmers.
B.Pie-in-the-sky ideas from universities can be revolutionary.
C.Universities play an important role in science development.
D.Gene-manipulation helps to develop DNA technology.
【4】What's Stephen Susalka's attitude towards the future development of U.S universities?
A.Worried. B.Disapproving.
C.Positive. D.Unconcerned.
