21、 Last summer, Katie Steller pulled off the freeway on her way to work in Minneapolis. She stopped at a traffic light, where a man was sitting with a sign asking for help. She rolled down her window.
“Hey!” she shouted. “I’m driving around giving free haircuts. If I go grab my chair, do you want one right now?”
The man looked to be in his 60s. He was balding, and missing a few teeth. As Steller liked to tell the story, he laughed, then paused. “Actually,” he said, “I have a funeral to go to this week. I was really hoping to get a haircut.”
Steller pulled out a red chair from her car and helped the man cut his hair immediately. After the work was finished, Edward looked in a mirror. “I look good!” he said.
Until last year, Steller had given such haircuts to people living on the margins(边缘) around the city. She was keenly aware of the power of her cleanup job.
“It’s more than a haircut,” she said. “I want it to be a gateway, to show value and respect, but also to get to know people. I want to build relationships.”
Steller knew that a haircut could change a life. One changed hers: As a teen, she suffered from a severe disease, her hair thinned drastically. Seeing this, her mother arranged for Steller’s first professional haircut.
“To sit down and have somebody look at me and talk to me like a person and not just an illness, it helped me feel cared about and less alone,” she said.
After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own salon so she could help people feel the way she’d felt that day. Not long after finishing cosmetology school in 2009, she began what she now calls her Red Chair Project, reaching out to people on the streets. Her aim was that by doing some kind acts, others would be inspired to spread their own.
“Part of what broke my heart was just how lonely people looked,” she said. “I thought maybe I’d go around and ask if people want free haircuts. I can’t fix their problems, but maybe I can help them feel less alone for a moment.”
It all began with a belief in simple acts of kindness, such as a free haircut. “The way you show up in the world matters,” said Steller. “You have no idea what people are going to do with the kindness that you give them.”
【1】How did Steller react to the man’s asking for help?
A.She paid no attention.
B.She offered a free haircut to him.
C.She sent a red chair to him as a present.
D.She told an interesting story to make him happy.
【2】What did Steller mean by saying “It’s more than a haircut” in paragraph 6?
A.She thought it was a respectable job.
B.She had found more advantages for the job.
C.She considered haircut as a way to make friends.
D.She hoped her job could make a difference to others.
【3】What did Steller expect from Red Chair Project?
A.To earn a lot of money. B.To know more people.
C.To pass down the kindness. D.To make herself stand out.
【4】What would be the best title for the passage?
A.A Cut Above. B.A Beautiful Salon.
C.The Good Belief. D.The Miracle of Love.
22、 A recent study found that eating fish at least twice a week led to a 50 percent reduction in the risk that a child would develop asthma(哮喘) between the ages of 11 and 14 — but only if the children carried a certain type of he fatty acid desaturase(去饱和酶) gene, which is known to be associated with lower levels of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids in the blood.
The researchers suspect that a diet that contains plenty of fish, especially oily varieties such as salmon, sardines and mackerel, could boost long-chain omega-3 levels and may protect against asthma by reducing inflammation(炎症) of the airways.
Of the children in the study with the gene variant(变体), the 25 percent who ate the most fish consumed at least 280 grams a week, equal to two adult-sized amounts. They had half the risk of developing asthma compared with the 25 percent who consumed the least fish—almost none.
Seif Shaheen, senior author of the study, said: “It is possible that a poor diet may increase the risk of developing asthma, but until now most studies have taken ‘snapshot’, measuring diet and asthma over a short period of time. Instead, we measured diet and then followed up children over many years to see who developed asthma and who didn’t.”
The study followed two groups of children, about 4,000 in the southwest of England and about 2,000 in Sweden.The die of the English children was assessed when they were seven and they were tracked until they were 14.
Professor Shaheen said: “Although we cannot say for certain that eating more fish will prevent asthma in children,based on our findings, it would nevertheless be sensible for children in the UK to consume more fish, as few currently achieve recommended intake.”
【1】What is the possible effect of eating fish?
A．To produce the fatty acid desaturase gene.
B．To increase the long-chain Omega-3 levels.
C．To fight against inflammation of the airways.
D．To reduce the levels of oily varieties in the blood.
【2】How much fish does an adult eat a week accordingly?
A．70 grams.
B．140 grams.
C．280 grams.
D．560 grams.
【3】What is Shaheen’s study different from most of the other studies?
A．Most previous studies used cameras to do researches mainly.
B．Shaheen’s study did research on more children than ever.
C．Shaheen’s studied the children in a longer period of time.
D．Most previous studies had different results from Shaheen’s study.
【4】What can we know from Professor Shaheen’s words?
A．Eating fish is a good cure for asthma in children.
B．The more fish we eat,the healthier we become.
C．Children in the UK need not take more fish.
D．A poor diet may contribute to developing asthma.
23、Like many inventions, language translators were imagined by writers long before they became real. In Hugo Gernsback's 1911 novel A Romance of the Year 2660, characters use a video telephone that can translate form one language to another. A language translator also appears in Murray Leinster's 1945 First Contact. In that story. humans and creatures from another planet construct a translation device together after making first contact with one another. The idea of the language translator didn't become truly popular, however, until the “universal translator” appeared in the Star Trek series, which delighted television viewers in the 1970s. That device was universal in the sense that it could translate any language that it encountered.
The first real language translator was demonstrated by engineers from the IBM company and Georgetown University in 1954. Their machine could only translate Russian sentences into English.
Language translators have come a long way since then. Today, online translations can be accessed easily at no cost to users. With translation apps like Google Translate or iTranslate, users sometimes don't even have to look things up. All they need to do is point their cellphone's camera at some writing, and a translation instantly appears. If users want to translate something being said aloud, they just turn on their phone's microphone. All of these features save time and effort.
Translation apps make foreign travel much easier than before. They are invaluable when it comes to communicating with taxi drivers or hotel staff who don't speak a traveler's native language. But these apps are far from perfect. Sometimes a translation makes no sense, forcing the user to guess what the translation means. At other times, the user might not know that the translation has failed until he or she shows it to native speaker.

A．They're longer than necessary.
B．They're available free of charge.

D．They're published on social media.
【3】Which aspect of Google Translate or iTranslate does the article emphasize?
A．Their understanding of classic idioms
B．Their leisurely approach to analyzing texts.
C．Their intemal software and processes.
D．Their convenience in different situations.
【4】How does the writer conclude this article?
A．By noting that language translators don't have any competition.

24、Western monarch butterflies (WMBs, 西部帝王蝶) fly thousands of miles every year, flying north in spring and summer, and south in fall. Now, scientists want people in the western US to give them a hand by sending in any pictures of monarchs they take this spring.
WMBs, like most butterflies, help plants create seeds, which can then create more plants by spreading a dust called pollen between plants. In turn, monarchs depend on plants. They gather sweet nectar (花蜜) from flowers for food. They rest and spend their winters in trees. And they depend completely on a plant called milkweed to lay their eggs.
Their number has been dropping sharply since the 1980s, when 3 million to 10 million butterflies migrated (迁徙) annually from the northwestern United States to spend the winter at hundreds of sites along the California coast. In 2020, less than 2. 000 monarchs were counted in the entire state. But in 2021, that number jumped to 247, 237. Scientists still don't fully understand this phenomenon. But they’re studying it, saying itll take years of tracking them to work it out.
Scientists have learned a lot about where Western monarchs spend the winters. But they know much less about where they go when they leave their winter homes. That’s why scientists from several universities are organizing a project called “Western Monarch Mystery Challenge” to seek for practical assistance from “citizen scientists” in the American west.
They’re asking anyone who sees a monarch butterfly outside of their winter homes this spring to take a picture and send it to them. By collecting the pictures, along with the date and place where the pictures were taken, scientists hope to learn more about what happens to the butterflies and where they are after they leave their winter homes and protect them better in the future.
Last year’s increase in monarch number is great news. But the number of monarchs is still way below the millions of butterflies that migrated in the 1980s.
【1】What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about concerning WMBs?
A．The links between them and plants.
B．Their vital importance to plants.
C．The effects of plants on them.
D．Their contributions to nature.
【2】What best describes scientists when they knew about WMBs’ population jump?
A．Worried.
B．Doubtful.
C．Puzzled.
D．Tolerant.
【3】What do scientists intend to know about WMBs by the project?
A．What their real shapes look like.
B．Why their number increases.
C．How they leave winter homes.
D．Where they live in spring.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．WMBs Are Being Protected
B．Help Is Needed to Help WMBs
C．WMBs Are Still in Danger
D．Humans Welcomes WMBs Back
