21、When I was younger, I always knew my parents had trouble with money. We would go to yard sales all the time, work and eat at a soup kitchen 4 nights a week. Then, a new man walked into the soup kitchen and asked me what my name was. I told him my name was Angela. After that, I couldn't find the strange man again.
I searched everywhere and even asked the others in the kitchen if they had seen him. My mom thought I was going crazy, saying I had been sitting alone and that it seemed I was talking to myself.
Later that night in the car, my mom was crying. I asked her what was wrong and she told me the rent on our apartment had gone up and that my grandma had died. She didn't know how she was going to pay for the funeral and the rent.
I assured her I would help pick up the odds and ends after she made as much as possible. Once we got into the apartment building, she asked me to run to the mail room and grab the mail. I went, and the only thing I could find was one single envelope. A familiar man called me back saying he thought I left something in our mailbox. I reached in and pulled out a huge manila envelope that was bulky but I couldn't tell what was in it. I brought the envelopes up to my mom. She opened the first one and found our first super expensive rent bill. She then walked into her room, saying she couldn't handle to open the other one. I looked at the envelope and saw this: Dear Angela and Family. Love, Your Friend.
I brought it to my mom with shaking hands and asked her to open it. She ripped it open, tears streaming down her face. She emptied the contents onto the bed. I brought a hand to my face, wiping away multiple tears. There on the bed were countless checks, all addressed to my mom. I had a feeling I knew who had sent it, but didn't want to tell my mom.

22、For those of a certain age, names such as Sir Trevor McDonald, Kate Adie and Huw Edwards mean the breaking news. But younger British adults are turning away from traditional sources of news for their daily update of world affairs, choosing instead to consult their TikTok feeds. The Chinese-owned video platform is the fastest growing news source for UK adults, according to a survey.
TikTok is used by 7% of adults for news, up from 1% in 2020. The growth is mainly driven by young adults, with half of its news followers aged 16 to 24. A study on news source in the UK showed that for teenagers aged 12-15, Instagram has defeated BBC One and BBC Two to become the most popular news source, closely followed by TikTok and YouTube.
“Teenagers today are unlikely to pick up a newspaper or turn to TV news, instead, scrolling (滚屏) through their social media,” the study said. The study also showed that news organizations are having to compete with non-journalist TikTokers as news sources. For those who refer to news on TikTok, their main sources are other people they follow (44%), friends and family (32%), and news organizations (24%). The most popular official news source on TikTok is the BBC, followed by Sky News and ITV. TikTok has more than I billion users worldwide and is owned by ByteDance (字节跳动), a Chinese tech company.
A research indicated that TikTok was not used as a platform for serious current affairs. Only three out of 10 people who use TikTok for news regard it as a trustworthy source. And BBC One remains the most popular news source among adults (53%), followed by ITV (35%) and then Facebook (32%), which remains the most popular social media source for news.
【1】According to the first paragraph, what are Sir Trevor McDonald, Kate Adie and Huw Edwards?

23、 Brriiinnng... ... The alarm clock announces the start of another busy weekday in the morning. You jump out of bed, rush into the shower，into your clothes and out the door with hardly a moment to think. A stressful journey to work gets your blood pressure climbing. Once at the office, you glance through the newspaper with depressing stories or reports of disasters. In that sort of mood，who can get down to work, particularly some creative, original problem-solving work?
The way most of us spend our mornings is exactly opposite to the conditions that promote flexible,open-minded thinking. Imaginative ideas are most likely to come to us when we’re unfocused. If you are one of those energetic morning people, your most inventive time comes in the early evening when you are relaxed. Sleepy people’s lack of focus leads to an increase in creative problem solving. By not giving yourself time to tune into your wandering mind, you’re missing out on the surprising solutions it may offer. The trip you take to work doesn’t help, either. The stress slows down the speed with which signals travel between neurons(神经细胞)，making inspirations less likely to occur. And while we all should read a lot about what’s going on in the world, it would not make you feel good for sure, so put that news website or newspaper aside until after the day’s work is done.
So what would our mornings look like if we wanted to start them with a full capacity for creative problem solving? We’d set the alarm a few minutes early and lie awake in bed，following our thoughts where they lead. We'd stand a little longer under the warm water of the shower，stopping thinking about tasks in favor of a few more minutes of relaxation. We’d take some deep breaths on our way to work, instead of complaining about heavy traffic. And once in the office —we’d click on links not to the news of the day but to the funniest videos the web has to offer.
【1】According to the author, we are more creative when we are______.
A.focused B.awake C.relaxed D.busy
【2】What does the author imply about newspapers? _______
A.They are solution providers. B.They are normally full of bad news.
C.They are a source of inspiration. D.They are more educational than websites.
【3】By “tune into your wandering mind” (in Para. 2)，the author means “ ”.
A.wander into the wild B.listen to a beautiful tune
C.switch to the traffic channel D.stop concentrating on anything
【4】What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? ________
A.To offer practical suggestions. B.To summarize past experiences.
C.To advocate diverse ways of life. D.To set up a routine for the future.
24、What is the purpose of lightning? The new study published at the end of April in Science found that lightning may play a bigger role in global climate change than was previously known by the scientific community.
Many are familiar with the potentially deadly dangers posed by lightning, which is blamed for an average of 43 deaths in the United States each year, based on data from 1989 to 2018. Although the odds of being struck are quite low-1 in 1, 222, 000 in a given year and 1 in 15, 300 in a lifetime many in the weather community have long urged people to take proper precautions to stay safe in storms. However, the researchers recently uncovered a surprising and beneficial impact of lightning.
The study, which included contributions from nine atmospheric researchers across a dozen universities, was based on an airborne research flight conducted by a NASA DC-8 storm-chasing plane in 2012. Researchers initially thought there was a problem with the equipment on the plane, which was being used to measure the hydroxyl radicals (羟基自由基) in the atmosphere until they realized increases they observed corresponded with lightning flashes, ABC News reported.
Hydroxyl radicals, described as a “chemical scavenger (清洗剂) ” by Science Direct, are important chemical compounds found in the atmosphere due to the reactive nature with other organic molecules (分子). Researchers previously understood that lightning could help to clean the atmosphere, but there was no evidence that it could generate compounds like these radicals. “No one has seen that much in the atmosphere from natural processes, ever,” Brune said. As a result, the study estimates that somewhere between 2% and 16% of the oxidizing (氧化), or cleaning that happens naturally in the Earth’s atmosphere, is done by lightning.
Why is this significant? The oxidation process helps to reduce chemicals like carbon monoxide and methane in the atmosphere. These chemicals, known for being greenhouse gases, have been proven to contribute to rising temperatures associated with climate change. Researchers say that more studies will need to be conducted to verify the degree to which lightning contributes to the fight against global climate change.
【1】What do the statistics in Para 2 tell us about lightning?
A．It threatens human lives.
B．It can only harm people.
C．It is a strange phenomenon.
D．It happens quite frequently.
【2】What led to the new discovery in the text?
A．The equipment failure on the storm-chasing plane.
B．The increase of Hydroxyl radicals during lightning.
C．The lightning flashes observed by the research team.
D．The airborne research conducted by NASA scientists.
【3】How does Brune feel about the finding?
A．Doubtful.
B．Amazed.
C．Frustrated.
D．Ambiguous.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A．Hydroxyl radicals clean the atmosphere.
B．Oxidizing is a natural result of lightning.
C．Lightning may help address climate change.
D．Greenhouse gases contribute to rising temperature.
