21、Three kids got the surprise of a lifetime when their artwork showed up on a huge billboard, as a colorful reminder to frontline workers for their service. Shutterfly chose the designs from more than 450 works of art from children across the nation during the company’s Create Thanks campaign.
7-year-old Kelli is the Long Island granddaughter of a New York(NY) transit worker who inspired her drawing. She wanted to show him appreciation for helping people go to work on the transit system, and her mixed-media“thank you” has gone from hanging on her front door to hanging in Times Square.
While NY has been in the beginning stages of reopening, the people there continue to rely on mass transit during the pandemic. Shutterfly chose two of the city’s busiest commuter centers to show uplifting messages of thanks, to bring a little joy to their commutes. Kelli and her family didn’t expect that her artwork would have shown up by Shutterfly for the first time at 8th Avenue and 42nd Street.
Xavier, aged 5, also from the Long Island, wanted to thank frontline workers for being there for those who are sick and in need, especially his aunt who is a nurse’s assistant at Mount Sinai Hospital. “I made this picture to thank the doctors and nurses for being superheroes,” said Xavier.
A Brooklyn 4-year-old named Amarry wanted to share “a heart and a helping hand” to show her appreciation for healthcare workers everywhere, including his mom, who is a physician assistant.
Shutterfly is also delivering thanks directly into the hands of those who are keeping us healthy by distributing 500 care packages to medical staff at Mount Sinai Hospital, and giving more than $ 750,000 in donations.
【1】What is the purpose of Shutterfly’s campaign?

22、More than one-third of the world’s food is wasted or thrown away. This adds up to an unbelievable 1.3 billion tons of waste a year, most of which rots in landfills, emitting (排放) methane and contributing to climate change.
But one of the most promising and simple solutions lies in the problem itself: this wasted food — if composted ( 堆 肥 ) — could slow climate change and improve soil quality. When food waste break down in composting facilities or even in backyard compost piles, they don’t produce methane, and they result in carbon-rich soil. Higher quality soil also continues to absorb more carbon from the atmosphere, helping to fertilize plants and contributing further to fighting against climate change. Increasing the amount of carbon in the world’s soil by just 0.4 percent a year would stop the rise of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Returning one ton of organic matter to each hectare of soil would increase production of cereal crops each year by millions of tons.
While it is true that people can compost in their yards, community gardens, schools or even on their kitchen counters, larger-scale efforts, including infrastructure ( 基 础 设 施 ) and reward system for consumers, would take it to the next level. Imagine that consumers could just leave food leftovers in a bin for pickup, or drop them off at a local store, earning a few cents a bucket, just like what has been offered for recycling bottles or newspapers. Moreover, in the case of composting, the reward system would be sustainable because the end-product of compost can be sold to farmers.
There have been important steps recently toward keeping food waste out of landfills. But food still makes up the largest part of city landfills. Until that changes through increased composting, we are wasting a lot more than food. We are wasting the opportunity to slow climate change and ensure adequate future food supply for the world.
【1】What is the consequence of food waste?
A.Food shortage.
B.Climate change.
C.Less farming land.
D.Worse soil quality.
【2】What can we learn about the carbon-rich soil?
A.It emits large amounts of carbon.

C.It increases by 0.4 percent every year.
D.It benefits both plants and the environment.
【3】Which of the following does the author agree with?
A.Taking steps to ban landfills is urgent.
B.Composting on a large scale is helpful.
C.The end-product of compost is affordable.
D.It is just a matter of time before food waste stops.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.Where Landfills Go
B.Why Farmers Compost Food Waste
C.What Modern Farming Brings Us
D.How Wasted Food Could Save the Planet
23、 There’s a battle storming in the streets of America. Anyone who regularly rides a bicycle knows all about this. Some motorists shout at two-wheeled travelers, who slow traffic. A few will do even worse.
The New York Times reports that incidents of aggression toward bicycle riders appear to be growing. Even though actually every state allows bicyclists the same right as motorists to use the streets, many drivers still refuse to accept this. They view themselves as Kings of the Road --- an impression that has been strongly built by the transportation planning profession, which has designed our cities as if people didn’t exist outside of their cars.
But a big new idea to settle this conflict and improve life in the streets for everyone is now taking root among community activists, urban planners and traffic engineers.
“Too many of our streets are designed only for speeding cars. They’re unsafe for people on foot or bike. Now, in communities across the country, a movement is growing to complete the streets. States, cities and towns are asking their planners, engineers and designers to build road networks that welcome all citizens,” declares the website of a new organization promoting this idea, “Complete the Streets” , the best idea to hit our communities since pizza, or even the bicycle itself.
My home of Minneapolis is one of the biking capitals of America. But it hasn’t always been that way. When I moved here many years ago, I was shocked at the strong hostility directed toward me whenever I dared ride my bike down the street. Drivers would suddenly turn in my direction, and then laugh as they nearly knocked me onto the ground.
As the amount of bikes on Minneapolis streets has grown, people have become much more comfortable sharing the road with two-wheelers. Indeed, I get the impression that most motorists now envy rather than hate me, and can’t wait to get home where they can jump on their own bikes. This will happen everywhere as more and more Americans discover biking as a great way to get around, save money, lose weight, protect the planet and have fun.
【1】Who cause the traffic problem according to the motorists?
A.Bicycle riders.
B.Urban planners.
C.Traffic engineers.
D.Community activists.
【2】The problem of the battle in the streets is most probably rooted in
A.weight losing
B.city planning
C.money saving
D.global warming
【3】What is the movement “Complete the Streets” aimed at?
A.Improving health conditions.
B.Promoting walking and bicycling.
C.Building more road networks.
D.Assessing the impact of the conflict.
【4】What is the purpose of this text?
A.To present a problem.
B.To praise the bicyclists.
C.To describe a change.
D.To blame the car riders.
24、 Adults with a poor education are also likely to have poor health, a growing body of evidence suggests. Study after study has confirmed the link, and now experts are zeroing in on the reasons for it and what can be done. “Persons with a higher education tend to have better jobs, and better income, better benefits,” said David R. Williams, a professor of public health in America.
Those benefits, he said, go beyond health benefits to include such other factors as having the flexibility to take a day off or part of a day to see a doctor. “People with higher levels of education tend to have more resources to cope with stress and life,” Williams said. They have stress, of course, but also more resources to cope with it — such as access to a health club to exercise away the stress — than people with less education, he said.
“Being better educated also means that a person is more likely to understand the world of modern medicine,” said Erik Angner, an assistant professor of philosophy and economics at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, who has researched the link between education and happiness. “Modem medicine is incredibly complex. And if you lack the basic reading skills required to function adequately in the health-care environment, you might find it harder to effectively understand your medical care.”
A report issued by Williams’ commission found that, compared with college graduates, adults who did not graduate from high school were 2.5 times as likely to be less than very good health. The report suggested that factors outside the medical system play an important role in determining people’s health. Access to medical care is crucial, but it isn’t enough to improve health. What’s needed, they suggested, is increased focus on schools and education — encouraging people to obtain more education.
【1】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Poor Education May Lead to Poor Health
B.Higher Education Can Bring More Income
C.Happiness Comes from Good Education
D.Medical Care Safeguards Good Health
【2】What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.Resources to deal with life.
B.Ways to exercise away stress.
C.Factors concerning a higher education.
D.Benefits related to a higher education.
【3】What can we learn from Angner’s words?
A.Better education means understanding the world better.
B.Modem medicine world is too difficult to understand.
C.People with a good education may be happier.
D.Reading skills help in understanding medical care.
【4】What is stressed in the report issued by Williams’ commission?
A.Adults are less likely to have good health.
B.The medical system determines people’s health.
C.More education is needed to improve health.
D.More access to medical care is important.
