21、 Although Bertha Young was thirty she still had moments like this when she wanted to run instead of walk, to take dancing steps on and off the pavement, to throw something up in the air and catch it again, or to stand still and laugh at — nothing — at nothing, simply.
What can you do if you are thirty and, turning the corner of your own street, you are overcome, suddenly by a feeling of happiness — absolute happiness.
Oh, is there no way you can express it without being “drunk and disorderly”? How stupid civilization is! Why should you be given a body if you have to keep it shut up in a case like a rare, rare fiddle(小提琴)?
“No, that about the fiddle is not quite what I mean,” she thought, running up the steps and feeling in her bag for the key — she’d forgotten it, as usual — and rattling the letter-box. “It’s not what I mean, because — Thank you, Mary” — she went into the hall. “Is nurse back?”
“Yes, M’m.”
“I’ll go upstairs.” And she ran upstairs to the nursery.
Nurse sat at a low table giving Little B her supper after her bath. The baby looked up when she saw her mother and began to jump.
“Now, my lovey, eat it up like a good girl,” said nurse, setting her lips in a way that Bertha knew, and that meant she had come into the nursery at another wrong moment.
“Has she been good, Nanny?”
“She’s been a little sweet all the afternoon,” whispered Nanny. “We went to the park and I sat down on a chair and took her out of the pram (婴儿车) and a big dog came along and she pulled its ear. Oh, you should have seen her.”
Bertha wanted to ask if it wasn’t rather dangerous to let her pull a strange dog’s ear. But she did not dare to. She stood watching them, her hands by her side, like the poor little girl in front of the rich girl with the doll.
The baby looked up at her again, stared, and then smiled so charmingly that Bertha couldn’t help crying.
“Oh, Nanny, do let me finish giving her supper while you put the bath things away.
“Well, M’m, she oughtn’t to be changed hands while she’s eating,” said Nanny, still whispering. “It unsettles her, it’s very likely to upset her.”
How absurd it was. Why have a baby if it has to be kept—not in a case like a rare, rare fiddle — but in another woman’s arms?
“Oh, I must!” said she.
Very offended, Nanny handed her over.
“Now, don’t excite her after her supper. You know you do, M’m. And I have such a time with her after!”
Thank heaven! Nanny went out of the room with the bath towels.
“Now I’ve got you to myself, my little precious,” said Bertha, as the baby learned against her.
She ate delightfully, holding up her lips for the spoon and then waving her hands. Sometimes she wouldn’t let the spoon go; and sometimes just as Bertha had filled it, she waved it away to the four winds.
When the soup was finished Bertha turned round to the fire. “You’re nice — you’re very nice!” said she, kissing her warm baby. “I’m fond of you. I like you.”
And indeed, she loved Little B so much — her neck as she bent forward, her pretty toes as they shone transparent in the firelight — that all her feeling of happiness came back again, and again she didn’t know how to express it — what to do with it.
“You’re wanted on the telephone,” said Nanny, coming back in victory and seizing her Little B.

22、A new study has found that water in the air, not just heat, is important in measuring global warming. The researchers say, when considering humidity and heat, the temperature increase is two times greater than earlier estimates.
The researchers also note, temperature by itself is not the best way to measure the effects of climate change and using temperature underestimates conditions in the tropical areas of the world.
The study was published on January 31 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The researchers team show that the energy created in extreme weather, such as storms, is related to the amount of water in the air. For this reason, they decided to use a special atmospheric measurement to show the amount of heat in an area of air. It is expressed in a scientific measurement for temperature known as degrees Kelvin.
Ramanathan is one of the writers of the study. He is a climate scientist at the University of California San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography. “There are two factors of climate change: temperature and humidity. And so far, we have measured global warming just in terms of temperature,” he says. “Warm air can hold more water than cold air. For every degree Celsius that air temperature increases, it can hold seven percent more water. When the water vapor in the air becomes liquid, it releases heat or energy. That’s why when it rains, now it pours.”
Ramanathan added that water vapor is a powerful heat-trapping gas in the atmosphere that increases climate change. From 1980 to 2019, the average world surface air temperature increased by 0.79 degrees Celsius. But when they considered energy from humidity, their temperature measurement had increased by 1.48 degrees Celsius. In the tropics, the warming was as much as 4 degrees Celsius.
Wuebbles is a climate scientist at the University of Illinois. He was not part of the study. But Wuebbles said the idea makes sense because water vapor is important in extreme rainfall. He said, “Both heat and humidity are important.”
【1】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The combination of water and heat decreases average surface temperature.
B．The reason why it pours is that cold air can hold more water than warm air.
C．Scientists adopt temperature degrees Kelvin as a special atmospheric measurement.
D．Scientists used both temperature and humidity to measure global warming in the past.
【2】How does Ramanathan illustrate his findings in the fifth paragraph?
A．By making comparisons.
B．By taking examples.
C．By analyzing reasons.
D．By giving definitions.
【3】What is Wuebbles’ attitude to this new study?
A．Critical.
B．Objective.
C．Skeptical.
D．Appreciative.
【4】Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?
A．Extreme Weathers Are Closely Related to Air Heat Amount
B．A New Study Focuses on Global Warming Solutions
C．Humidity Is Also Important in Measuring Climate Changes
D．Two Climate Scientists Develop a Scientific Method
23、In many walks of life and in many situations, persuading people to do what you want them to do is the key to success. Researchers have looked into different aspects of persuasion and come up with some interesting results which are surely helpful to us.
One advertising copywriter came up with an approach to selling a product on a TV shopping channel via phone sales. Instead of being instructed “Operators are waiting, please call now”, viewers were told “If operators are busy, please call again”. The results were extraordinary. The ad suggested operators weren’t sitting around hoping people would call. Instead there were so many people wanting the product that people might have to wait until they could get it.
What role does choice have in persuading people to buy or get something? One study in a supermarket showed the effect of choice. A particular supermarket displayed either 6 or 24 different kinds of jam. The large display attracted more interest than the small one. But when the time came to purchase things, people who saw the large display were one-tenth as likely to buy. If they do buy, they are less satisfied with their selection, even though they have made a good choice. A wider range of choices require more time and effort and lead to unreasonably high expectations.
Another aspect of persuasion concerns getting someone to change their mind. It’s hard to prove to someone that a previous decision is wrong, and as people get older they get less and less willing to change their minds. People want things to be unwavering; they want their attitudes, statements, values and actions to follow a set pattern. The only way to persuade them to change is to acknowledge this by agreeing that the previous decision they made is a perfectly understandable one. This allows them to focus on your suggestion without feeling their previous decision is wrong. As a result, they may be persuaded to break out of their established pattern.
【1】What does the advertising copywriter want to indicate about the product?
A．It’s rare.
B．It’s in demand.
C．It’s for sale.
D．It’s precious.
【2】What does the study mentioned in paragraph 3 show?
A．Increased choices decrease satisfaction.
B．More selections bring more actions.
C．More and more people don’t want to choose.
D．Some choices are more attractive than others.
【3】What does the underlined word “unwavering” in the last paragraph mean?
A．Unreliable.
B．Unbelievable.
C．Unchanging.
D．Unique.
【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A．To compare different forms of persuasion.
B．To discuss various studies on persuasion.
C．To analyze how persuasion affects success.
D．To teach how to get better at persuasion.
24、In some ways, learning to programme a computer is similar to learning a new language. It requires learning new symbols and terms, which must be organized correctly to instruct the computer what to do. The computer code must also be clear enough that other programmers can read and understand it.
In spite of those similarities, MIT neuroscientists (神经科学家) have found that reading computer code doesn’t activate the regions of the brain that are involved in language processing. Instead, it activates a distributed network called the multiple demand network, which is also related to complex tasks such as solving maths problems or crossword puzzles.
Although reading computer code activates the multiple demand network, it appears to rely more on different parts of the network than maths or logic problems do. “Understanding computer code seems to be its own thing. It isn’t the same as language, and it isn’t the same as maths and logic,” says Anna Ivanova, an MIT graduate student and the lead author of the study.
Evelina Fedorenko is the senior author of the paper, which appears today in eLife. A major focus of her research is the relationship between language and other cognitive (认知) functions. In particular，she has been studying the question of whether other functions rely on the brain’s language network, which includes Broca’s area and other regions in the left hemisphere (半球) of the brain. In previous work, her lab has shown that music and maths don’t appear to activate this language network.
There are two schools of thought regarding how the brain learns to code, she says. One holds that in order to be good at programming，you must be good at maths. The other suggests that because of the parallels between coding and language, language skills might be more relevant. To clarify this issue, the researchers set out to study whether brain activity patterns while reading computer code would overlap (重叠) with language-related brain activity.
【1】What’s paragraph 1 mainly about?
A．The computer must be instructed what to do.
B．Programming requires new symbols and terms.
C．The computer code must be clear and understandable.
D．There are similarities between programming and language learning.
【2】What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 mean?
A．Reading computer code is different from other cognitive tasks.
B．Learning languages is different from learning maths or logic.
C．Language, maths and logic are relatively easier to learn.
D．Reading computer code is more challenging.
【3】What might the researchers do next?
A．Set up two schools to study how the brain learns to code.
B．Research deeper into the parallels between coding and language.
C．Figure out the relationship between programming and learning maths.
D．Compare activity patterns of reading code with those of learning language.
【4】What field can the research findings be applied to?
A．Health.
B．Commerce.
C．Education.
D．Medicine
25、Jeff Jensen was suffering from painful nerve damage in his leg and foot. He needed surgery, but he doubted if he could ___________it, even with insurance. “There’s nothing more ___________than seeing a bill for 18, 20, 24,000 dollars and going,” said Jensen.
Luckily for Jensen, his doctor is Demetrio Aguila. The nerve specialist gives patients at his Healing Hands of Nebraska in Papillion the_______to pay for surgery through community service instead of money. He calls it M25 Program. At the heart of his vision was the simple_______ of people helping people.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Larry had butterflies in his stomach. Today was the day for him to meet his girlfriend Kate’s parents. He was planning to leave them a good impression, so he was in his finest suit. On the way, he secretly recited a few jokes he picked up online the previous night. His weird behavior caught Kate’s attention.
“What are you doing, honey?” she asked. Blushing, Larry told her what he was doing. She, on the other hand, actually found his eagerness to please her family quite cute. “Well, let’s hear your jokes.” she said teasingly.
They were so immersed in their chatter and laughter that before they knew it, they had arrived at the house of Kate’s parents, who gave them a warm welcome. As an orphan, that night, Larry felt the love and warmth he had always longed for since childhood.
The next day, they drove downtown to pick their engagement ring. Everything was working out just perfectly. However, on their way home, a truck driven by a drunk driver smashed into their car, sending it flying off the roadside down a steep hill before it got stuck between several trees.
Larry struggled out of his seat to save the then unconscious Kate. As he made every effort to wake her up, the car began to slip down again. With only seconds to act, he hastily removed her seat belt and pushed her out of the car before it fell downhill again with him trapped inside.
A rescue team finally arrived and drove them to a nearby hospital. Under the doctors’ treatment, Kate woke up the next day. She was only slightly injured, but Larry remained unconscious due to severe damage done to his brain caused by the heavy impact.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右了；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Para 1: The doctors were afraid Larry might never wake up again.
