21、Americans have been calling on police to change how they deal with citizens in crises (危机), especially those with mental health problems.

Police are usually the first to arrive at a serious incident and are trained to deal with crime and violent behavior. But a law enforcement (执行) agency in the central state of Illinois has found a new way to handle mental health cases. It is using video calls to calm difficult situations.

Restrictions ordered to stop the spread of the new coronavirus have left many people alone in their homes without support. Many people are unable to find mental health services or unwilling to go out and risk being infected with COVID-19.

The Cook County sheriff’s (警长) office led by Sheriff Tom Dart has faced many emergency calls about mental health crises recently. Such calls have increased by 60 percent this year. Dart said police officers are being asked more and more to arrive first to mental health cases. He said officers are being asked to do things they are not trained for or for which they have little training.

Dart said some programs have mental health professionals riding in a vehicle with law enforcement officers. That works for smaller communities. But Cook County, which includes the city of Chicago, is very big.

“We wanted a tool for the officers to get that mental health expert on the scene immediately,” said Elli Petaque-Montgomery, a team director.

So far, the department has 70 personal electronic devices (设备). They are used to make video calls. The department bought 35 with aid money when the program began. It bought 35 more when it became clear the number of calls, which is now past 50, would increase.

Sometimes a lack of wireless service or another reason has not permitted a video call. The department said this has happened 20 times. In those cases, officers set up a telephone call between the person in crisis and a mental health professional.

Four mental health experts have been joined by four more to answer calls. Dart said the cost of the experts and the devices is much less than what it would cost to send out many mental health professionals with police.

【1】What do you know about the emergency calls received?

A．The officers don’t want to take care of them.

B．They involve 60% of the American citizens.

C．No professionals are available for the cases.

D．They are mainly about mental health issues.

【2】What is the third paragraph meant to tell us?

A．The contributor to the health crises.

B．The spread of the deadly virus.

C．The loneliness citizens suffer from.

D．The urgency to take measures.

【3】How does the department ease the pressure from the tough situation?

A．It has had the officers trained.

B．It has introduced video calls.

C．It has narrowed down its duty.

D．It calls on citizens to stay fit.

【4】Which of the following best describes the practice?

A．Well-received and handy.

B．Ground-breaking but risky.

C．Efficient and cost-saving.

D．Functional but controversial.

22、   Every woman dreams of receiving a huge, sparkling and priceless diamond. Now scientists have discovered the largest diamond in the universe.

But it’s well beyond the reach of the most lovestruck men — 50 light years to be precise. Space scientists revealed that they had discovered a ten billion trillion trillion carat gem. Measuring 2,500 miles across and weighing five million trillion trillion pounds, the rock was found on Valentine's Day buried in the core of a white dwarf star in the constellation Centaurus.

“It’s the mother of all diamonds,” said Travis Metcalfe, who led the team of researchers at the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics in America.

“You would need a jeweller’s loupe the size of the Sun to grade this diamond.” Named Lucy, after the Beatles' song Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, the rock has sent a ripple of excitement through the scientific world.

The largest diamond found on earth was the 3,106-carat Cullinan. It was cut into nine major stones, including the 530-carat Star of Africa, now a part of the Crown Jewels. Diamonds were first discovered in India more than 2,800 years ago. The Ancient Romans believed that the stones were splinters of stars that had tumbled to earth.

In Ancient Egypt, diamonds were symbols of eternity and were used in funeral rites. In the Middle Ages, men wore them to symbolize their courage and virility. The tradition of giving them as love tokens dates from 1477, when Archduke Maximilian of Austria gave a diamond ring to Mary of Burgundy.

【1】The largest diamond in the universe________.

A．was found 50 years ago.

B．was in the centre of a white dwarf star.

C．was too large to measure.

D．could be graded by a common jeweller's loupe.

【2】What can we infer from Paragraph 5-6?

A．Diamonds have symbolized love since 1477.

B．The largest diamond on earth was found 2,800 years ago.

C．The Crown Jewels was totally made of the 530-carat Star of Africa.

D．At present, men wear diamonds to symbolize their courage and virility.

【3】Which of the following best serves as the title?

A．Diamond — a must on important occasions

B．Love — the symbolism of diamonds

C．Discovery — the largest diamond in the world

D．Diamond — the dream of women

【4】You can probably read the passage in ________.

A．a tour guide.

B．a poster.

C．an official document.

D．a magazine.

23、Shop prices in the United Kingdom accelerated at their fastest rate in more than 10 years last month, according to a closely watched measure. The British Retail (零售) Consortium, or BRC and NielsenIQ Index showed retail price annual inflation (通货膨胀) rose sharply to 1.8 percent in February, up from 1.5 percent in January. This is the highest rate recorded by the indicator since November 2011, the BRC said in a news release.

Fresh food price rises as well as health, beauty, and furniture prices contributed to the inflationary increase, said the BRC. Helen Dickinson, the BRC’s chief executive, said retailers were also being impacted by higher shipping rates, as well as labor shortages, commodity price increases and rising energy prices. “Food inflation remained the key driver behind higher prices, particularly for fresh food, which has been impacted by poor harvests, both in the UK and globally,” Dickinson said. “There is little sign of change, with the Bank of England predicting price rises to continue until at least the spring.”

The rise in shop prices adds to the cost of living pressure faced by British households already ready for a major increase in energy bills next month. Mike Watkins, head of retailer and business insight at research company NielsenIQ, said retail prices would likely continue to rise throughout the next few months.

“Inflation has increased since the start of the year and the potential trend in shop prices will be upwards over the next few months,” he said. “With falling income for most households, retailers will need to keep encouraging customers to spend by offering choice and value and, for some, discounts as well as added benefits for loyal shoppers.” Dickinson added, “Price rises will be unwelcome news for households who already face falling income because of the rise in national insurance and energy price caps.”

The Bank of England is trying to deal with inflation with higher interest rates, and is predicted to raise borrowing costs for the third time in a row this month, noted the BBC. In a response to a Treasury committee report into last year’s budget, Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak said on Wednesday that Britain’s economy and public finances were “vulnerable (易受伤害的)” to higher inflation and interest rates.

【1】What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A．How price rises influenced British households.

B．What factors resulted in the high inflation.

C．Price rises would continue until at least the spring.

D．Food inflation remained the key driver behind higher prices.

【2】What does the underlined word “household” in paragraph 4 mean?

A．All the people in a family.

B．All the possessions in a family.

C．All the savings members of a family have.

D．All the occupations members of a family have.

【3】How is the Bank of England dealing with such inflation?

A．By investing in more fields.

B．By decreasing borrowing costs.

C．By supplying more money.

D．By raising interest rates.

【4】What can serve as the best title for the news report?

A．UK retail prices rise fastest for decade

B．Households in UK face falling income

C．Rise in shop prices adds to living pressure in UK

D．UK retail price annual inflation rises to 1.5 percent in January

26、阅读下面材料，根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。续写的词数应为 150 左右。

I will never forget the day I passed my driving test and got my license. The instructor just informed me that I passed and was reviewing the driver restrictions with me as I was full of smiles. Meanwhile, I looked over at my dad and he was staring at his phone with a strange look. “Excuse me sir, but I must take this call…” my father rudely interrupted. “Hello?”, he answered the phone. The look on his face was unforgettable as he turned as white as a ghost. My first thought was that someone was in the hospital or had died. Although it turned out that everyone was safe, little did I know that phone call would change my attitude to life forever.

The call was from the North Middleton Fire Department and they informed my father that he needed to get to the house as soon as possible. My dad was about to shut his phone when suddenly I heard my sister on the phone. All I could hear was her crying hysterically and screaming “Fire”! I had one thought going through my head at that moment, and it was my niece, Myleeah. Did my sister get her out of the house in time? She was only six months old and I adored her more than anything in the entire world. We ran out of the office both in complete shock. Needless to say, my dad was driving like crazy.

At this point I didn’t even know how to prepare myself. The thought of my house burning to the ground didn’t seem to be real. The drive from the office to my house was only a fifteen-minute drive, but it felt like forever. Finally after running red lights and driving off the side of the road, we were half a mile away from the house. All we could see was black smoke and floating ashes filling the sky. This was when reality hit me and I thought not only might I lose my home, but also my baby niece. I began to break down in tears and pray that everyone was safe.

Paragraph 1:

We finally pulled into my neighborhood which was full of fire trucks, police cars, and black ash. 

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 2:

I finally found my sister sitting in our neighbor’s yard with black ash all over her.
