21、Gwen Ifill was a famous African-American journalist who fought for social justice through her news stories. After she died in 2016, a student award was set up in her honor.

Ana Rodriguez, a 16-year-old student at Archie Williams High School, won the 2021 Gwen Ifill High School Student of the Year Award. She won due to her real passion for fighting fake news about COVID-19 vaccines, medical studies and other social media dramas.

Rodriguez said that fake news these days is often masked as real news, meaning teenagers and adults need to cultivate a certain type of skepticism before they either react to the news or spread it. “You need to double-check the sources and get a second opinion,” she said, “If you read about vaccines having some kind of aftermath, go and check another website.”

Archie Williams High School English teacher Matthew Leffel nominated (提名) Rodriguez for the award because of her enthusiasm and “purposefulness”. “Ana went very deep with her research,” Leffel said. “She was able to demonstrate the kind of media literacy (媒介素养) skills that we had intended to build.”

The project used a free public fact-checking website called Checkology. Students were required to write an argument on their chosen topic. Then they had to produce a podcast on “The Truth About …”. In Rodriguez’s case, for example, it was “The Truth About Scientific Racism”. Rodriguez also worked on several different topics, including the fake information of COVID-19 vaccines.

She and other students also made their arguments into booklets to hand out. They hoped to educate more people. Some of their other topics included 5G towers, climate change and surveillance (监控) technology.

“Ana was purposeful,” Leffel said. “It was clear she was not just doing it as a class assignment, but as something that had an important meaning for her life.”

【1】What does the underlined word “skepticism” probably mean?

A．Doubt.

B．Interest.

C．Curiosity.

D．Concern.

【2】Why did the author mention Leffel in the fourth paragraph?

A．To praise Ana’s writing skills.

B．To show Ana’s purpose.

C．To prove racial existence.

D．To indicate Ana’s ability.

【3】Ana and other students put their arguments in booklets in order to________.

A．hand out for money

B．make people think critically

C．learn more knowledge

D．enlarge their topics

【4】According to Leffel, we can infer that________.

A．Ana does anything with strong purposes

B．Ana does a class assignment very carefully

C．Ana does run after her life meaning

D．Ana does everything for herself and others

22、   You’ve got your fancy new suitcase and you’re ready to take it with you on your travels across the globe.

You get to the airport, quickly moving through the crowds on the uneven pavement, rushing to check in. Then, your heart sinks when you realize your new suitcase has got a serious case of the wobbles (摇晃).

Why does this happen?

Scientists from the Universite Paris-Diderot in France investigated this matter and published their findings in the science journal Proceedings of the Royal Society A. They also suggested some solutions to overcome this modern-day problem.

To learn more about the issue, they put a suitcase on a treadmill (跑步机) and observed what happened.

It was soon noted that the “wobble” was actually a result of repeated actions that caused the suitcase to sway from side to side. They discovered that if one of the wheels encountered an obstacle such as a small bump, it jumped into the air for just a moment and then banged back down to the ground. That second action caused the opposite wheel to lift off the ground and then to bang back down, causing the first to lift again and so on. This swaying increased as the luggage was pulled along.

“The suitcase is a fun way to tackle the problem, but the study would be the same for any trolley with two wheels or blades (桨叶),” Sylvain Courrech du Pont, lead author of the study, told BBC News. “So it will be the same for a caravan (大篷车) or maybe also for airplanes.”

Instead of slowing down when we see a rocky part of the path, the scientists recommended doing the exact opposite and speeding up. This is because going faster gives the wheels less time to rise and fall, preventing the case from swaying. They also said that reducing the angle of the suitcase by lowering its handle to the ground would help keep it steady.

“These findings could help researchers simulate and design better rolling suitcases and other pulled trolleys, such as towed trailers ,” Courrech du Pont added.

With these masterminds (智者) working on perfecting our suitcase problems, wobbly luggage may soon be a thing of history, leaving us to enjoy our travels.

【1】The main purpose of the first two paragraphs is to ______.

A. show the importance of a good wheeled suitcase for travel

B. lead up to the wobbling problem of wheeled suitcases

C. describe how unstable wheeled suitcases can be

D. show that wobbling can cause wheeled suitcases to stop working

【2】According to the scientists, when a suitcase meets with an obstacle, ______.

A. the swaying will stop for a moment

B. its two wheels will jump into the air at the same time

C. even a small obstacle can lead to a serious damage

D. there is a series of repeated actions leading to the swaying

【3】What can be done to keep a suitcase steady on an uneven path according to the text?

A. Slow down. B. Pull the suitcase at a faster speed.

C. Raise the handle of the suitcase. D. Increase the angle of the suitcase.

【4】According to the article, the findings could ______.

A. help improve the design of suitcases

B. solve the wobble of suitcases completely

C. be helpful in the advancement of treadmills

D. be used to develop blades for boats

23、Chinese female scientist Tu Youyou won the 2015 Nobel Prize in medicine on October 5 for her discoveries concerning a novel treatment against Malaria（疟疾）. This is the first Nobel Prize given to a Chinese scientist for work carried out within China.

Tu shared the prize with Irish-born William Campbell and Satoshi Omura of Japan, who were honored for their revolutionary anti-roundworm treatment. 84-year-old Tu is awarded this prize for her contribution to cutting the death rate of malaria, reducing patients’ suffering and promoting mankind’s health. Although she received several medical awards in the past, the 2015 Nobel Prize is definitely the most privilege reward that recognizes Tu’s dedication and perseverance in discovering artemisinin（青蒿素）, the key drug that battles malaria-friendly parasites（寄生虫）.

However, her route to the honor has been anything but traditional. She won the Nobel Prize for medicine, but she doesn’t have a medical degree or a PhD. In China, she is even being called the “three-noes” winner: no medical degree, no doctorate, and she’s never worked overseas. No wonder her success has stirred China’s national pride and helped promote confidence of native Chinese scientists.

The fact that Tu has none of these three backgrounds reminds us that science should be more accessible to all. One shall be able to become a scientist no matter what kind of background he or she comes from, as long as one dives into scientific research. There have been discussions on people who really love science but are never able to achieve much during their whole life. Their contributions can never be ignored. They work so hard to prove the wrong way so that the future researchers will be closer to the right one.

As the first Chinese mainland Nobel Prize Winner of natural science award, Tu’s record-breaking winning also serves as a reminder to those who are too eager for instant success. Science is never about instant success. Tu spent decades on scientific research before its value is officially acknowledged. There is no way to measure how much one devotes to science and compare it with how much reward he or she may get.

【1】It can be concluded from the text that __________.

A. Tu worked home and abroad to conduct her research

B. Tu got the Nobel Prize for her anti-roundworm treatment

C. The Nobel Prize is the first award to recognize her work

D. Her discovery of artemisinin has helped to cut Malaria death rate

【2】The author seems to agree that a person who is more likely to become a scientist is the one with__________.

A. a sense of national pride

B. relevant academic knowledge

C. enthusiasm for scientific research

D. a desire to achieve success

【3】In writing the passage, the author intends to ___________.

A. remind readers of the principles of scientific research

B. discourage the pursuit of instant success in science

C. inform readers of the news and make comments

D. praise the award winner and encourage scientific research

24、

【1】If you have dark spots on your cheeks, which of the following can you choose according to the passage?

A.The products from Maybelline. B.The products from Rouge Hermès.

C.The products from La Mer. D.The products from Estée Lauder.

【2】During a power failure, which of the following may be of less use according to the passage?

A.SPRING FLUSH. B.FERMENTED EXTRACTS.

C.HAIR BRUSH. D.HERMÈS LIPSTICKS.
