21、 Thomas Edison, inventor of such items as the phonograph (留声机) and the world's first practical light bulb, is known around the world. But another lesser-known figure is owed his share of credit — Edison's competitor, Nikola Tesla. It took the work of both men to make possible a world that runs on electric power; however, their names were not always shared.
Edison, a self-made American inventor, built his name as a successful businessman.Tesla, a well-educated Serbian immigrant, was a tireless thinker. In 1882, Tesla got a job in the Paris branch of Continental Edison Company. Soon, his obvious skill won him a position at the Edison Machine Works in the United States, where the goal was to bring electricity to all of New York City. But Edison and Tesla had different ideas about how to make that goal a reality.
Edison worked mainly with direct current (DC) power. Although DC would prove useful in the decades to come, it was only effective at the time for powering things that were about a mile or less from the power source. However, alternating current (AC) power-supported by Tesla allowed electricity to be carried over long distances through power lines.
Soon the battle between the two was on. Edison proposed that several small DC-based power plants could be constructed to power different parts of a city, but this was impractical. Desperate to succeed, Edison attempted to show that DC power “was safe”— he even electrocuted (电死) an elephant to show the “dangers” of AC. In the end, however, it was practical, inexpensive AC that won the battle. By 1896, even Edison's own company had adopted AC.
Tesla succeeded, but Edison, whose self-branded companies won him over a thousand patents, is the more well-known of the two. Regardless, each inventor had a big hand in shaping the way we live.
【1】What does the underlined word “credit” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．Cast.
B．Trust.
C．Recognition.
D．Debt.
【2】What do we know about Nikola Tesla?
A．He finished college in Paris.
B．He worked as Edison's employee at first.
C．He invented many things with Edison.
D．He was admired by Edison for his invention.
【3】What's a big difference between AC and DC power?
A．DC power moves more quickly.
B．AC power ranges over larger areas.
C．AC power is much safer and cheaper.
D．DC power can be widely used in more fields.
【4】What's the best title for the text?
A．Edison vs Tesla: the war of the currents
B．Edison: the inventor of the first light bulb
C．DC vs AC: the theory behind the two concepts
D．Nikola Tesla: a name that should be remembered
22、 Essentially, everyone has two ages: a chronological（按时间计算的）age, how old the calendar says you are, and a biological age, basically the age at which your body functions as it compares to average fitness or health levels.
“Chronological age isn’t how old we really are. It’s merely a number,” said Professor David Sinclair at Harvard University. “It is biological age that determines our health and ultimately our lifespan. We all age biologically at different rates according to our genes, what we eat, how much we exercise, and what environment we live in. Biological age is the number of candles we really should be blowing out. In the future, with advances in our ability to control biological age, we may have even fewer candles on our birthday cake than the previous one.”
To calculate biological age, Professor Levine at Yale University identified nine biomarker（生物标志）that seemed to be the most influential on lifespan by a simple blood test. The numbers of those markers, such as blood sugar and immune（免疫的）measures, can be put into the computer, and the algorithm（算式，算法）does the rest.
Perhaps what’s most important here is that these measures can be changed. Doctors can take this information and help patients make changes to lifestyle, and hopefully take steps to improve their biological conditions. “I think the most exciting thing about this research is that these things aren’t set in stone,” Levine said. “People can be given the information earlier and take steps to improve their health before it’s too late.”
Levine even entered her own numbers into the algorithm. She was surprised by the results. “I always considered myself a very healthy person. I’m physically active; I eat what I consider a fairly healthy diet. But I did not find my results to be as good as I had hoped they would be. It was a wake-up call,” she said.
Levine is working with a group to provide access to the algorithm online so that anyone can calculate their biological age, identify potential risks and take steps to improve their own health in the long run. “No one wants to live an extremely long life with a lot of chronic（慢性的）diseases,” Levine said. “By delaying the development of mental and physical functioning problems, people can still be engaged in society in their senior years. That is the ideal we should be pursuing.”
【1】Biological age depends on .
A. whether we can adapt ourselves to the environment
B. how well our body works compared with our peers’
C. when we start to take outdoor exercise
D. what the calendar says about our age
【2】By saying “we may have even fewer candles on our birthday cake than the previous one” in Para. 2, the author means _______.
A. we don’t have to celebrate our birthday every year
B. we are chronologically older than last year
C. we might be less happy than the previous year
D. we may be biologically younger than the year before
【3】According to Prof. Levine, what is the most exciting thing about her research?
A. The measures are not fixed.
B. Health services can be set up.
C. The problems are not that serious.
D. The research results are written in stone.
【4】What does the author want to tell us by Levine’s example in Para. 5?
A. It is necessary to change our diet regularly.
B. The test results may give us wrong information.
C. Waking up early in the morning is good for our fitness.
D. The algorithm can reveal our potential health problems.
【5】The ultimate goal of Levine’s research is to .
A. free people from chronic diseases
B. work out a solution to genetic problems
C. keep people socially active even in old age
D. provide people with access to scientific theory
23、The United States is one of the world’s wealthiest countries. Despite this, many Americans are not even getting enough to eat. In fact, around 37 million Americans struggle just to put healthy food, or any food at all, on the table every day.
One might think that a food shortage is happening in America, but this is not the case. There is more than sufficient food for everyone. Unfortunately, 40% of food is wasted every day. There are many different ways food is wasted: farmers only pick the best-looking crops, deliveries aren’t made on time, supermarkets throw out extra products, customers buy more than they need, and so on. The highest level of wastage tends to happen in the richest communities.
Meanwhile, people who live in poor or rural areas often have little or no access to food. These areas are called “food deserts”. They have fewer supermarkets, and the only food options that they can afford are often unhealthy ones. Healthy foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables may be impossible to find. Sadly, 12. 8% of the American population live in food deserts.
What can we do to help those who don’t have enough food? Shirley and Annie Zhu came up with a solution. In 2017, when Hurricane Harvey destroyed over 100,000 homes in their city, Houston, the sisters got involved. While helping to clear water from a flooded supermarket, they saw a hugeamount of food being wasted. At the same time, thousands of people in the city didn’t have enough to eat.
The girls were only 15 when they set up Fresh Hub with 10 of their classmates. They created an app which could be used by residents to find out whether fresh food was available. Then they contacted local farmers and supermarkets to ask for their extra food.
At first, they found that people didn't take them seriously because they were so young. They decided to work with Second Servings, a local organization that had been providing food to food deserts around the city. The owner of Second Servings, Barbara Bronstein, was impressed with the twins and introduced them to several food providers. To date, Fresh Hub has delivered more than 15,000 pounds of food to people in need.
【1】What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us?
A．What causes food shortage.
B．How much food is wasted every day.
C．How food is wasted in America.
D．Where the highest level of wastage happens.
【2】When did the sisters realize the problem of food waste?
A．When they were assisting in flood relief.
B．After they had made a survey about it.
C．When they were visiting a food desert.
D．After they had read reports about it.
【3】What can we say about “food deserts”?
A．Crops can’t grow in food deserts.
B．People in food deserts have no access to fresh water.
C．Only fruits and vegetables are available in food deserts.
D．About one in ten Americans live in food deserts.
【4】What can be inferred about Fresh Hub from the last two paragraphs?
A．Its founders are mostly college students.
B．It has gained support from Second Servings.
C．It has created a most popular food app.
D．It is welcomed by local farmers and supermarkets.
24、As the Ukraine-Russia conflict worsens, only diplomatic dialogue and negotiations can bring peace, analysts say. And as for this, India can play a useful role, they said. India has been advocating “dialogue and diplomacy” as a solution, said Karori Singh, retired fellow of the South Asia Studies Centre at India's University of Rajasthan.
Singh noted that the United Nations and most countries have appealed to both sides to control and reduce the conflict, while North Atlantic Treaty Organization member states imposed economic sanctions（制裁）on Russia. “Such sanctions will make every nation suffer, not merely Russia, and the world economy will again slow down,” Singh said, expressing a view that sanctions or restrictions could prove of the opposite result.
Countries must “try to avoid expanding alliances（盟国） which are harmful to the security of other countries” while pushing for peace, he said. The focus must be on “the common challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic, widening inequality, climate change and extreme poverty”, said Singh, who believes that talks between Ukrainian and Russian negotiating teams are advancing in the right direction.
India's refusing to vote on UN Security Council resolutions on Ukraine has drawn criticism from media in the United States and other Western countries. On Wednesday, India refused to vote on a resolution criticizing the Russian military action in Ukraine. Western countries have also tried to persuade India to rebuke and sanction Moscow, with politicians in Washington even urging India to “take a clear position”. And some media reports have suggested that the US could be weighing potential sanctions on India. Swaran Singh, professor of diplomacy at Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi, said India is “calling all sides to ensure respect for sovereignty（主权）”.
“Guided especially by its need to safely bring back large numbers of Indian citizens in Ukraine, New Delhi's position has made India far more active in its engagement with this conflict,” he said. T. S. Tirumurti, India's permanent representative to the UN, said on Wednesday that India's most urgent thing to do is to guarantee the “safe and uninterrupted passage” of Indian citizens, reported The Hindu newspaper. Data from Ukraine's Education and Science Ministry showed that there were 18, 095 Indian students in Ukrainian universities in 2020.
【1】How can the security of countries be guaranteed to some degree according to Karori Singh?
A．By avoiding widening inequality.
B．By imposing economic sanctions.
C．By stopping expanding alliances.
D．By getting rid of extreme poverty.
【2】What does the underlined word “rebuke” in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Consult.
B．Evaluate.
C．Blame.
D．Ignore.
【3】What is the most urgent thing for India to do at present?
A．To take control of COVID-19 pandemic in India.
B．To criticize the Russian military action in Ukraine.
C．To call all sides to ensure respect for sovereignty.
D．To assist Indian citizens in Ukraine in returning safely.
【4】What can be the best title for the news report?
A．India fails to play useful role in Ukraine-Russia conflict
B．Washington warns India to “take a clear position"
C．India urges dialogue to bring fighting to an end
D．India refuses to vote on UN Security Council resolutions on Ukraine

26、阅读下面材料，报据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was angry about my father in the first year of college, because he didn’t care about my feelings all.
One day I had a serious quarrel with him. I was fed up with his direction and correction. How could he interfere with my life and my study plans? How could he understand the importance of my university activities? The only thing that he cared about was my academic performance! He didn’t understand my world and I didn’t understand his, either.
I stormed out and sighed all the way to school. Suddenly I realized that I didn’t have the assignment that was due: a thought card. This class was taught by Dr. Sidney B. Simon. The thought card was the admission ticket to his class. He would return them to us with his comment.
My first thought card read, “All that glitters(发光) is not gold.” He commented, “What does this quote mean to you? Is it significant?” Obviously, he was taking it seriously. I surely didn’t want to reveal myself to him.
The week progressed. Dr. Simon’s class was quite brilliant. He challenged us to think and come up with our own responses. But I had no handling strategies to deal with it.
The second Tuesday came. I wrote on my card, “The most important thing in communication is to hear what isn’t being said.” The next day the card came back: “You seem to need a listener. Is this important to your life?” I couldn’t remember a teacher caring personally about me since primary school.
With all these memories filling my mind, I raced to class. Just outside tho door, I took a card and wrote, “I have the most terrible Dad of the world!” Then I dashed in. Looking up at me, he reached out for the card, and I took my seat. The moment I sat down, I felt terrible. I didn’t mean to let that out. That night I had difficiulty sleeping. What if he contacted my dad?

On Wednesday morning I came to class with mixed feelings.
