21、 As a young child, Ann Makosinski would spend hours experimenting with her toys and other everyday objects ar ound her to create her own inventions.
Now a first-year Arts student, Makosinski is a well-known inventor. She won the recent Sustainable Entrepreneurship Award of Excellence, which recognizes creative business solutions to social problems--the same recognition was given to Barack Obama in 2014. Her two inventions—the Hollow Flashlight and the e-Drink—have been causing excitement internationally since their creation.
When Makosinski was 15 years old, she created a flashlight powered by the heat of one's hand. This invention was the result of a 9th grade science project, but her goal was to offer a practical solution to people with unlimited access to power and electricity. “One of my friends from the Philippines told me that she failed school because she had no light to study with at night, so that was kind of the inspiration.” Makosinski explained.
At 12th grade, Makosinski then went on to create the e-Drink. It is a coffee cup that harvests the extra heat of a hot drink while it cools, stores it as electricity in an internal(内置的)battery and makes it available to charge an external device such as a phone, whose life can now be longer by approximately 10 to 30 minutes.
“My favorite part of creating inventions would be when you had the idea and you have to physically build it，and it doesn't work out,” she said. “So you have to figure out different ways to solve it. A lot of times, I'll give up and I’ll come back after a couple of days and I'll take it up again.”
Her advice to other student innovators? “Start now. There’s nothing holding you back. Actually, you can do whatever you want.” Makosinski said，“If you want to make something，follow your heart, then go ahead. If there's something you really want to do, you will make time for it and you will find time in the day to do your schoolwork.”
【1】Makosinsky created the powerless flashlight mainly to ________.
A. satisfy her desire to create inventions
B. settle problems in study for her friend
C. help those who are short of electricity
D. finish the assignment of a science project
【2】Which of the following is mainly explained in paragraph 4?
A. How the e-Drink was invented. B. Why the e-Drink was created.
C. What the e-Drink brings. D. How the e-Drink works.
【3】Which can be the best title for this passage?
A. Popular Inventions by a Teenager Girl
B. Teenager Girl Advancing in Creation
C. Valuable Advice from a Creative Girl
D. Awards Given to a Young Inventor
22、For decades, climate scientists have named hurricanes and ranked them according to severity. “Naming and categorizing heat waves is also a must,” states a newly formed international union, called the Extreme Heat Resilience Alliance. “Hurricanes get attention because they cause obvious physical damage,” says Jennifer Marlon, a climate scientist at Yale University. Heat waves, however, have less evident effects, since the primary damage is to human health.
Heat waves kill more people in the United States than any other weather-related disaster. Data from the National Weather Service show that from 1986 to 2019, there were 4,257 deaths as a result of heat. By comparison, there were fewer deaths by floods(2,907), tornadoes(2,203) or hurricanes(1,405) over the same period. What’s more, climate change is increasing the possibility of high temperature events worldwide, getting tens of thousands of people dying each year because of heat.
Some populations are particularly easily harmed by high heat, including people over 65 and those with potential medical conditions. Historical racial discrimination also places minority communities at higher risk. Due to housing policies, communities of color are more likely to live in urban areas, heat islands which lack the green spaces that help cool down neighborhoods.
Part of the naming and ranking process will include defining exactly what a heat wave is. No single definition currently exists. Without a universally accepted definition of a heat wave, “We don't have a common understanding of the danger we face,” says Aaron Bernstein, an expert of the new group. “Defined categories for heat waves could help local officials better prepare to address potential health problems in the face of rising temperatures. And naming and categorizing heat waves could increase public awareness of the health risks caused by these silent killers.”
The union is in ongoing conversations with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the World Meteorological Organization and other institutions to develop a standard naming and ranking practice.
【1】What do we know about the heat wave in America?
A．It causes most serious physical damage.
B．It has got more attention in recent years.

【2】Why are minority populations easily harmed by heat waves?
A．They live in poorly-built houses.
B．They lack good medical resources.
C．They have less access to green spaces.
D．They are restricted in their movements.
【3】What is the author’s attitude towards the expert mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A．Supportive.
B．Doubtful.
C．Conservative.
D．Tolerant.
【4】What does the text intend to tell us about heat waves?
A．They also kill lives like hurricanes.
B．They should have names like hurricanes.
C．Climate change is affecting them greatly.
D．Measures should be taken to prevent them.
23、 What if you could take your drawing pen and simply scan any color you want and then turn around and draw with it? This new pen design allows you to do that. That is Scribble. And it’s very easy to use.
·How does Scribble work?
The built-in RGB sensor (传感器) lets you easily get any color — simply point it at an object and press the button! Red, green and blue inks are then mixed — much like in a traditional printer — to create your desired color.
·Different tips
The Scribble Pen (for paper) comes with three different sizes of drawing tips. Scribble is perfect for both drawing and writing. The Scribble Stylus Pen comes with two different tips — hard tip and soft tip. It works on more than just paper; it can be used for drawing or writing on your mobile device.
·Rechargeable battery
Scribble’s battery is rechargeable and lightweight. The Scribble Pen’s battery lasts seven hours. And the Scribble Stylus Pen’s battery lasts as long as 15 hours.
·Price
The regular price of a Scribble Pen is US$400. Now, you can have it at 40% off the regular price. And you can have a Scribble Stylus Pen at US$119 (save US$80). You also need to pay US$15 for postage. Remember to choose the color you want. At present, we offer five colors for you to choose from. If you are an artist, you really need a pen like this. It’s the last pen you will ever need to buy.

24、A well-dressed man came to a famous jewelry shop. He explained that he wished to buy a pearl for his wife’s birthday. The price didn’t matter. Since business had been very good for him that year. After examining a nice black one that cost $5000, he paid for the pearl in cash, shook hands with the jeweler, and left.
A few days later the man returned and said that his wife liked the pearl so much that she wanted another one just like it. It had to be exactly the same size and quality, because she wanted a pair of earrings made, “Can you give me any advice on how to get such a pearl? ” said the man.
