21、 When Central Bucks South became one of the first Philadelphia-area high schools to close due to fear of novel coronavirus exposure in early March, 16-year-old sophomore Andrew Chen knew that things were not going to return to normal as quickly as some of his peers hoped.
But still, the change from seeing his friends on the swim team during daily practices to learning alone at home was jarring. “I only have three years here at South, and it pains me to see one of them being wasted,” Chen said.
The coronavirus has upended everyone’s lives, but for students, the disruption feels particularly acute. Schools closed and graduation ceremonies were canceled. Summer plans, like camps and internships, are up in the air.
But right now, many students are trying to stay connected, struggling with misinformation, and figuring out the best ways they can help through online method.
For Josh Harycki, 17, a senior student at the Shipley School in Philadelphia, the best way to contribute was to create a “social distancing pledge” for young people.
“I saw a lot of younger generations not paying attention,” he said. “They were still going out, hanging out with people. I thought that there had to be a way to reach younger folks, who were probably not watching the news.”
Harycki launched a call to action on social media and then built a website with a map that tracked the locations of people who’d signed the pledge. The site also shares links to accurate sources of information like the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Harycki knows that his peers are worried they can’t connect with their friends in the same way, so he created the social distancing pledge to stress that while everyone might be physically distant, they’re still connected.
“Part of what we’re highlighting is that you might feel like you’re the only one taking this seriously, but our map shows that you’re not alone,” he said.
【1】What do the underlined words “up in the air” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.unnatural B.uncertain C.unnecessary D.unreasonable
【2】Why does the author describe Andrew Chen’s experience in the text?
A.To show how the coronavirus affected students’ lives.
B.To explain what worried students most when schools closed.
C.To illustrate the appropriate reaction to the closure of school.
D.To present the different views of students toward the coronavirus.
【3】Who does Harycki mainly want to reach out to?
A.Friends who are worried and bored.
B.Folks taking the coronavirus seriously.
C.Younger generations trying to contribute to society.
D.Young people who are not aware of the situation.
【4】What’s Harycki’s purpose in creating the “social distancing pledge”?
A.To track those people infected with the coronavirus.
B.To convince young people to stay at home.
C.To inform young folks of latest news about the coronavirus.
D.To show young people they shouldn’t be concerned about the coronavirus.
22、Scientists say a huge percentage of bird species are in danger because their habitats, or homelands, are disappearing.
Traditional migration paths take birds through countries that are not protecting the places for birds to stop, rest and feed. The scientists studied the migration or flight paths of almost 1,500 species. They decided that 91 percent of them passed through dangerous areas.
The major danger for migratory birds is development. Buildings and pavements have covered the places where birds stop and feed as they move from one part of the world to another. One of the scientists who worked on the study says “Many of these important places have been lost to land reclamation (开垦) because of urban, industrial and agricultural land expansion”.
The problem, according to scientists, is that many of these small birds die along their migration paths because they don’t have a safe place to feed and rest. There is no place to restore their energy for the next part of their journey. Countries in North Africa, Central Asia and those along the coasts of East Asia are having the most difficult time in protecting land. The scientists say these countries do not have enough areas that are safe for birds. One species that doesn’t exist now is the Eskimo curlew. “Our world gets poorer every time we lose a species,” one of the scientists says.
The researchers say countries need to work together and come up with safe stopping areas for birds that pass through their boundaries. For example, one country might have preserved safe zones for migrating birds. But a neighbor country might not. A bird might die.
One scientist who is not connected with the report tells Los Angeles Times that while some habitats are changing, more work can be done to make urban areas safe for birds.
He says small changes, like planting more native plants or keeping cats out of the areas birds would be likely to use, could make a big difference.
【1】What mainly caused the disappearing of birds’ habitats ?
A．The decrease of awareness to protect birds.
B．Natural disasters.
C．Overuse of land by human beings.
D．The rising sea level.
【2】What may be the main reason for many birds’ death on the way of migration?
A．Exhaustion and hunger.
B．Beast attack on the ground.
C．Hunting of humans.
D．The long journey.
【3】According to the last two paragraphs, how should we protect the migrating birds?
A．By keeping fewer cats or dogs.
B．By restoring their destroyed habitats.
C．By helping change the birds’ migration paths.
D．By preserving the ecological environments on their migration paths.
【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A．To tell us a huge percentage of bird species are in danger.
B．To analyze the reasons for disappearing of birds’ habitats.
C．To offer some solutions to the problem of birds’ habitats.
D．To call on people to protect the birds’ habitats.
23、 Boys’ schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and are more likely to get involved in activities such as art, dance and music, according to research released today.
Far from the traditional image of a culture of aggressive masculinity in which students either sink or swim, the absence of girls gives boys the chance to develop without pressure to conform to a stereotype, the US study says.
Boys at single sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to conform to the “boy code” of hiding their emotions to be a “real man”.
The findings of the study go against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls.
Tony Little, headmaster of Eton, warned that boys were being failed by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.
The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when their female peers do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.
But in single-sex schools’ teachers can tailor lessons to boys’ learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote the study’s author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia.
Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with specifically “boy-focused” approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have more acute vision, learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given “hands-on” lessons where they are allowed to walk around. “Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine and prefer the modern genre in which violence and war are major themes,” James wrote.
Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel they had to conform to a stereotype that men should be “masterful and in charge” in relationships. “In mixed schools, boys feel compelled to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means,” the study reported.
【1】It is commonly believed that in a mixed school boys __________.
A．grow up more healthily.
B．perform relatively better.
C．behave more responsibly.
D．receive a better education.
【2】What does Tony Little say about the British education system?
A．It places more pressure on boys than on girls.
B．It focuses more on mixed school education.
C．It fails more boys than girls academically.
D．It fails to give boys the attention they need.
【3】According to Abigail James, one of the advantages of single-sex schools is __________.
A．boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested in.
B．boys can focus on their lessons without being absent-minded.
C．teaching can be adapted to suit the characteristics of boys.
D．teaching can be designed to promote boys’ team spirit.
24、When you really love a book, or have just scored a new one that you’re dying to read, it can be exciting to pick up a smooth, shiny hardcover copy that creaks a little bit when you open it. But those hardcover books can be heavy, and new ones aren’t cheap, either. Sometimes, you’d just rather have a portable paperback—but if it’s a new book you’re after, you might have to wait a full year or so to get it in paperback form. Why are books released as hardcovers first?
Not so long ago, hardcover books were the only type of books. Before the appearance of mass production, print runs were limited, and books were hard-bound and expensive. Around the 1930s, that changed with the production of mass-produced paperback books, which consisted with a huge surge in reading as a leisure activity around World War II. Paperback books were more affordable and cheaper to produce, which still holds true today.
Despite the seeming advantages of paperbacks, there are several reasons why the hardcover has persisted. Because of its history, it conveys a bit more legitimacy (正统性) in the book world than the paperback does. “The hardback is a mark of quality…it shows booksellers and reviewers that this is a book worth paying attention to,” Philip Jones, editor at The Bookseller, explains to The Guardian.
But the major reason why books come out as hardcovers is that people buy them, despite their higher cost. The Economist compares it to movies being released in theaters several months before they arrive on DVD. “Just as film fans like to see films on the big screen, collectors enjoy the hardback’s superior quality,” according to The Economist. And because they’re profitable, publishers can gain more from hardcovers, which “will often sell at twice the price of their paperback equivalent but do not cost twice as much to produce,” Jones explains.
【1】What can we learn about hardcover books from Paragraph 1?
A．They are exciting.
B．They are heavy but not expensive.
C．They take a long time to come out.
D．They appeal to real book-lovers.

A．Dramatic drop.
B．Sharp increase.
C．Strong blow.
D．Swift success.
【3】Why are hardcover books still printed today?
A．They are costly and precious.
B．They are worth buying.
C．They show readers’ tastes.
D．They sell better than paperbacks.
【4】What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To introduce hardcover books.
B．To present a new social finding.
C．To explain a confusing phenomenon.
D．To encourage people to read books.
