21、 Most of us struggle through the time it takes to get a cup of coffee to our lips once our alarms go off. Luckily, this coffee-brewing alarm clock could make those few struggling minutes practically disappear.
An alarm clock that brews a fresh pot of coffee as soon as you wake up actually exists, and you can buy it right now. Thanks to the Barisieur, your morning time will never be the same.
Here’s how it works: Before you go to bed, fill the glass container with water and pour ground coffee into the filter (过滤器). Not a black coffee drinker?
Not to worry --- special drawers keep your cream cold and store your sugar, too.
Then, just set your alarm and go to sleep. This machine will take care of the rest.
A few minutes before your alarm goes off next morning, the Barisieur will begin to brew your coffee. And voila! A hot cup of coffee is waiting for you when your alarm rings and you open your eyes. You won’t even have to leave your bed.
London designer Joshua Renouf designed this invention himself, raising over $500,000 through donations on IndieGoGo. Coffee lovers should act fast and put in a pre-order on the website now, paying just $300. Otherwise, you have to wait until it hits stores and pay $420.
Owning one of these clocks will be totally worth it. Nothing says “seize the day” quite like waking up to a pot of freshly brewed coffee, after all. Also, the machine isn’t limited to making coffee only in the morning. You can go out and return home with a hot cup of coffee waiting for you.
【1】Why does the author mention the struggle?
A. To show making coffee is challenging.
B. To show coffee can make us feel better.
C. To show the coffee-brewing alarm clock is great.
D. To show it is difficult to get up early in the morning.
【2】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The Barisieur. B. The morning time.
C. A hot cup of coffee. D. The glass container.
【3】What’s the benefit of pre-ordering the clock on the website now?
A. You can get one much earlier.
B. You can get one at a great discount.
C. You can get donations from its designer.
D. You may have a chance to meet Joshua Renouf.
【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To tell us how to make coffee easily.
B. To advertise a new product in a store.
C. To recommend a special kind of alarm clock.
D. To compare traditional alarm clocks and new ones.
22、 From 1990 to 2000, fishermen seeking swordfish off the coast of California accidentally caught and killed over 100 sea turtles, and injured many more. In 2001, the federal government established the Pacific Leatherback Conservation Area (PLCA), a region off the coast of California where fishing boats aren’t allowed to enter from August through November. Since then, the number of turtles killed by mistake has fallen rapidly, but a handful of animals still die from being caught in fishing nets each year. And meanwhile, the once $15 million swordfish industry has become a $2 million industry.
Scientists are hoping to find a way to both protect sea turtles and other endangered creatures and help fishermen make a living. For this, many are looking at dynamic (动态的) ocean management to help fishing boats meet fish where they are and avoid catching other fish by mistake.
The first paper to suggest that the fish that live in the open ocean should be guarded with fluid, ever-changing zones of protection, came out in 2000. Larry Crowder, a professor at Hopkins Marine Station, remembers reading it and thinking,“ Cool idea, but it will never work.” In 2000, scientists didn’t have the computer power to cheaply test statistical models or deal with satellite data quickly. They didn’t have enough data dealing with fish or satellite data on ocean conditions, either.
Now scientists can download oceans of satellite data in minutes, and attach satellite archival tags (档案标签) to marine (海洋的) animals to track their movements. They first collect data by marking the creatures, collecting reports from fishing boats, or other tracking methods. Then they compare that data with weather conditions, the time of year, and any other data that can be sensed. Finally, they can forecast where fish are likely to be.
Crowder and his colleagues used the data to develop a tool called EcoCast, which shows fishermen a daily map where there are more fish they desire. According to statistical modeling, if fishers had used EcoCast during the 2012 and 2015 fishing seasons, they could have fished in at least 125,000 more square miles than were open to them, without significant risk of hurting turtles.
【1】The federal government hopes the PLCA and its rules can_________.
A.prevent fishing in the PLCA
B.help collect data for future researches
C.protect the creatures in the area to some degree
D.make the public realize the importance of our environment
【2】What did Larry Crowder think of dynamic ocean management at first?
A.It was unrealistic.
B.It was stupid.
C.It was possible.
D.It was interesting.
【3】What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?
A.An effective way to collect data.
B.Some fruits in the related technology.
C.A scientific method to find specific species.
D.The way dynamic ocean management works.
【4】What should be the advantage of using EcoCast?
A.It protects the marine environment from pollution.
B.It reduces the risk of national economical loss.
C.It prevents fishermen from getting lost while fishing.
D.It both protects ocean animals and supports fishery.
23、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.
24、 In the short time Steve and Zach had been inside their tent packing their tools, wind-blown flame had skipped from the top of one tree to another. The long dry summer had turned the forest into a tinderbox.
“Let’s go! We can make it back to the river we crossed today!” Steve kept Brady on the lead and their heads down against the fire-wind. But Brady barked a sharp warning. Ahead of them lay a thick curtain of smoke across the track. They would never make it through that. The dog was pulling at his lead trying to draw them away from the smoke, and yet Steve was uneasy. It seemed to him that they were moving away from the river.
Suddenly, Zach cried. “Zach!” Steve shouted. “Are you OK? Where are you?” Then Brady pulled Steve down a sharp slope(坡). At its base, Zach was rubbing his ankle.
As Steve helped his friend to his feet, Brady lifted his head and snuffed(嗅) the smoke-laden wind. Next moment, the dog bounded away and disappeared. The boys shouted for him, but he didn’t come back. Steve couldn’t blame Brady for panicking. He himself wanted to run even though he didn’t have a clue which way.
Steve and Zach hadn’t gone far when there was a familiar bark, and Brady came bounding, stopped directly in front of Steve and hit him with his head, pushing him back toward the slope they’d just climbed. But Steve didn’t get it. Then Brady grabbed the boy’s jeans and started pulling. The message was clear, but Steve hesitated. Of course he remembered Brady saving his uncle’s life when the dog was much younger. Was he still sharp enough to get them through this?
Nearby, a pine went up in a whoosh of smoke. Brady pulled again, urgently. “OK, big guy,” Steve gritted(咬紧牙关). Brady led them back down the slope and into the trees. Not far from them fire was touching underbrush. Several times the big dog stopped. Often he changed directions. Steve was so tired that he just wanted to rest, but Brady wouldn’t have it. The dog bullied both boys to go on. How long they’d walked Steve had no idea. He was almost numb when he heard it—the wonderful sound of rushing water!
【1】What happened to Steve and Zach at first?
A. They got injured. B. They lost their dog.
C. They were trapped. D. They became separated.

25、This Too shall pass
When my family moved to Ohio over the summer, I feared attending another new school and knowing no one because I was able to expect what was coming. I had bright red hair and enormous glasses. In addition, I was _________ and not very sociable.
Boarding the school bus that first day, I felt like all eyes on me. I could hear the words “She's huge!” Obviously, the kids on the bus had known each other well. I spent that first bus _________ in silence.
The following day was even worse. I did not notice that a few boys had tied a shoelace across the aisle and thus fell face first on the bus, dropping everything I was carrying. While I was embarrassingly gathering my supplies, I could hear the laughter, and then the comments “That felt like an earthquake!” Anyway, I _________ to find a seat. Looking out of the window, I _________ the tears welling up in my eyes.
It was then that I sank into myself. I began walking everywhere. I would wander through the woods behind our house. I would also walk to & church about two miles down the road, where I would chat silently with God. I began _________ the afternoon school bus on purpose, walking home instead. Then, _________, I started losing weight. And as I became content with myself, I began making friends.
One of my newly-found friends also _________ with her weight, wanting to be a “perfect” cheerleader. She lived near my neighborhood so we would meet and walk together. This became a daily activity with talking and laughing _________ the way-different from the lonely walks I had taken. My friend said that I didn't have to be perfect. I just had to be me, and be happy with myself.
While I would not want to _________ that time of loneliness, sadness and embarrassment, I am proud I made it through. Whenever I am struggling with any other problem in life, I always remember the proverb “This too shall pass.” If you can find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't ____________ anywhere.
