27、Mama Cax, a model and motivational speaker, died in 2019 at the age of 30.
The Haitian-born model’s family took to her Instagram account on Friday to announce the tragic news, revealing that she passed away on Monday, Dec. 16th. The news also reads, “To say that Cax was a fighter would be an understatement. As a cancer survivor, she had grown accustomed to taking on life’s challenges directly and successfully. It is with that same grit that she fought her last days on Earth.”
When she was 14, Cax was found to have bone and lung cancers and later had to have her right leg cut off. From then on, she wore an artificial leg for the last 16 years of her life. Mama Cax never lost heart. “I recognize how lucky I am and that many can’t afford medical treatments,” said Cax. “I feel like I’m in a position to make a difference and one day I will be an advocate(提倡者，拥护者) for people with disabilities.”
In addition to walking the runway in New York’s Fashion Week, Cax was a strong advocate for disabled models. She broke down barriers in the fashion world as a disabled model with a history of fighting difficult health battles.
And she was also a successful blogger with a huge following. She wrote blogs about travel, food and fashion and was an inspiration to many people. “Scars, we can hate them but they remain part of us. They tell the stories of our struggle and survival. They represent the battles we’ve won” said Cax. “As women we were used to letting others judge our worth. My advice to any young woman out there is, to know your worth, figure out what you want, set up a plan and go for it.“
Cax loved sports, especially rock climbing. “I like to challenge myself physically. It is difficult but certainly not impossible,” said Cax. In November, 2019, Cax reached another life goal of hers — to finish the New York City Marathon. She appreciated every moment of life, and lived it with delight.

28、Humans have explored space beyond Earth’s atmosphere for over half a century. When astronauts explore the vast area of outer space, they need to wear high-tech spacesuits to protect them from the dangerous conditions of the universe.
A spacesuit is made up of nearly a half dozen different components(部件) and can have up to 16 layers, according to NASA. From start to finish, it can take up to four hours for an astronaut to dress up, said Cathleen Lewis, leader of international space programs. Before going on a spacewalk, astronauts must check each piece of equipment and make sure they have enough important supplies, such as oxygen and water.
The astronauts on the Artemis missions, NASA’s next program to send the first woman and the first person of color to the moon, will wear the latest spacesuit, known as xEMU. One of its main components is the cooling garment, said Richard Rhodes, leader of xEMU pressure garment development at NASA. The garment is made of tubes that circulate water around the astronaut, regulating body temperature and removing extra heat as they complete their work. Each spacesuit has a portable life-support component, which includes a water tank for the cooling garment, carbon dioxide removal system and more.
The original spacesuits used during the Apollo missions were less flexible than the ones today. Fortunately, spacesuits have come a long way since then and have a more flexible structure. On the outside of a spacesuit, there are colored stripes(条纹)unique to each suit. This is how astronauts can tell who is in each suit when out in space, Lewis said. This tried-and-true system will be used for the Artemis spacesuits.
Rhodes said the biggest challenge for the Artemis suits is making sure they are upgraded for lunar exploration. The suits need to be “light enough to support the lunar mission and strong enough to protect the astronaut while working in the very hazardous lunar environment,” he said.
【1】What is the special feature of xEMU?
A．It is less flexible.
B．It can not wear easily.
C．It can protect astronauts.
D．It has a special cooling garment.
【2】What are colored stripes on the outside of a spacesuit used for?
A．To test a new system.
B．To show the astronaut's nationality.
C．To distinguish who is in the spacesuit.
D．To indicate which country made the spacesuit.
【3】What does the underlined word “hazardous” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A．Cold.
B．Dangerous.
C．Noisy.
D．Unstable.
【4】What’s the best title of the text?
A．Brave Astronauts in NASA
B．The Development of Spacesuits
C．Spacesuits Make Space Exploration Possible
D．NASA Designs New Spacesuits for Next Mission
29、Just two days into the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season, Tropical Storm Cristobal was stirring up in the Gulf of Mexico.
It was the third Atlantic storm powerful enough to get a name this season; no other year on record has seen three named Atlantic storms so early. On average, the third storm forms around August 13, according to Accu Weather Storms like Cristobal are increasingly likely to become major hurricanes The chance of any tropical cyclone (气旋) becoming a major hurricane is increasing as human activity warms the globe.
A study from researchers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the University of Wisconsin-Madison found that each new decade over the last 40 years has brought an 8 percent increase in the chance that a storm turns into a major hurricane.
“We have a significantly building body of evidence that these storms have already changed in very substantial (大量的) ways, and all of them are dangerous, ” said James Kossin, an atmospheric scientist a NOAA and the study’s lead author.
The findings, published in May, were based on 40 years of satellite data. Hurricanes are getting stronger and wetter because climate change is causing ocean and air temperatures to climb - 2019 was the second-hottest year on record, and it closed the hottest decade eve recorded Hurricanes feed on warm water.
What's more, higher water temperatures lead to sea. level rise, which increases the risk of flooding during high tides and storms surges. Warmer air also holds more atmospheric waster vapour, which enables tropical storms to strengthen and release more water.
“Almost all of the damage and death caused by hurricanes is done by major hurricanes, ” Kossin told CNN, “Increasing the likelihood of haying major hurricane will certainly increase this risk.”
【1】What can we infer from paragraph 2?
A．Cristobal is the earliest Atlantic storm this year
B．A storm can be named only if it reaches a certain speed
C．August is the average month to see the hurricane season begin
D．Human activities play a vital part in turning a tropical cyclone into a hurricane
【2】Which of the following may cause the hurricanes to become more powerful?
A．Warm water
B．Sea - level rise
C．Water vapour
D．Flooding
【3】What do Kossin's words convey?
A．His wish
B．His concern
C．His sorrow
D．His delight
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A．Whether satellites help forecast hurricanes
B．Human activities contribute to the global warming
C．Hurricanes come earlier and more strongly this year
D．Major hurricanes have caused severe damage and deaths this year

“We’ll stop by the supermarket and buy some snacks and fruits. Now hurry and eat and then we’ll go. It’s going to be a lovely day. Grandma is coming with us. She’ll be here any minute.”
Alan ate his breakfast and then ran into his room to get his shoes. The problem was that he could only find one of them. He looked under his bed, but all he could see were dirty pants. He moved some of his toys out of the way, but still couldn’t find his shoe. After he had checked everywhere in his room, he ran into the kitchen. “Mom, I can’t find my shoe. Will you wait while I look for it?” he asked.
His mom thought about how many times she’d told Alan to clean his room up. She said something to Alan’s grandma in a low voice. Then, she said to Alan,“You will have to stay home. Your dad and I will take your brother Alex to the Lego Land. Grandma will stay at home with you.”
“No! Please wait for me. I want to go to the Lego Land,” Alan cried. “I’m sorry, Alan. I’ve told you a dozen times to clean your room and you did not do it. You can’t find your shoe now. It’s your own fault for not cleaning your room.You will stay home.”
Alan ran into his bedroom, crying. His mom came to the door and said, “Alan, clean that room of yours before I get home. I’ve told Grandma not to give you any sweets until you make your room clean and tidy.” She went out with Alex and the brothers’ dad. After a minute, they drove away.
