26、There is a school in my Manhattan neighbourhood that has been giving out free meals during the Covid-19 pandemic—and every time I walk past it, the line seems longer. A community fridge recently showed up a couple of blocks away; it's one of many that activists have fixed across the city to fight against growing food insecurity. Just around the corner there's a young woman who has become a regular among the beggars I usually see in the area. She lost her job because of Covid-19.
It's not all doom and gloom. While the poor are getting poorer, the 1% are making out like robbers. America's 600-plus billionaires saw their wealth grow by more than $700bn in the first few months of the pandemic. During the same period, more than 50 million American workers lost their jobs. The US government has printed trillions of dollars in economic relief but many of the forgivable emergency loans （贷款） for small businesses seem to have been taken by the super-rich. My local independent coffee shop has closed down, but Kanye West received a partially forgivable loan worth at least $2m. It is becoming increasingly clear that the US is experiencing one of the biggest wealth transfers in history.
Bernie Sanders has a plan to help. Last week, Sanders introduced a bill（ 法案） , Make Billionaires Pay Act, which would establish a one-time 60% tax （税收） on billionaires' pandemic gains and use the money to guarantee Americans free health care for a year. There is very little chance the bill will get passed.
Billionaires shouldn't exit in the first place—the idea that they should be taxed at a higher rate during a pandemic to help pay health care shouldn't be slightly controversial（ 有争议的） . However, there are some who think such a move would be extremely unfair to "poor unfortunate" billionaires who, as we all know, are one of the most unfairly hurt groups in the world.
【1】How does the author develop the first two paragraphs?
A．By making contrasts.
B．By giving definitions.
C．By presenting arguments.
D．By listing numbers.
【2】The underlined sentence "It's not all doom and gloom." implies that ________.
A．the writer doesn't feel depressed at all
B．the current situation of Covid-19 is getting better
C．the billionaires still make profits during the pandemic
D．the woman has suffered more than we can imagine
【3】The bill, Make Billionaires Pay Act, was put forward to ________.
A．rid the country of pandemic
B．restrict the billionaires' fortune
C．ensure temporary free medical service
D．provide short-term loans for health care
【4】What is the author's attitude towards the billionaires?
A．Disappointed.
B．Respectful.
C．Sympathetic.
D．Negative.
27、 This week the bosses of seven large drug (药) firms (companies) were gathered together before the U.S. Congress to answer pointed questions about the cost of their medicines. The meetings come amid rising anger about unreasonable prices of their drugs. New laws are threatened. Concerns about the affordability of medicines are not only happening in America, they are also global.
Too rarely (not very often) raised in this discussion is one promising area where pill makers and governments alike could do more to fight diseases while also saving money. Drugs can be “repurposed”. That is, existing drugs can sometimes be used to treat diseases other than the ones for which they were first designed. This can be a cheaper way to develop new treatments. It could also help answer another criticism often thrown at drug firms: they do not invest enough in areas where the medical need is great but financial (economic) returns are unattractive. For 7,000 rare genetic conditions, only around 400 drugs have come out. Last year saw a record number of new drugs approved. The 59 new arrivals are welcome, but barely scratch the surface unmet needs.
Given the untapped potential in the 9,000 generic drugs, i.e. those which no longer have patent (专利) protection, found in America alone, this could be just the beginning. One charity says it has found evidence of anti-cancer activity in almost 260 drugs that treat other conditions. An expert supposes that one in five existing cancer drugs might be effective against other cancers. Big data makes it easier to identify promising leads.
For all its promise, however, repurposing is underfunded. Once a drug has lost its patent protection, it is difficult for a drug firm to attract the investment needed to test and relabel it for a new purpose. A doctor can prescribe a pill for “off label” uses without such trials. But patients may not trust a drug that is not approved for their condition; doctors may worry about being charged. Currently, only firms with permission to market a generic (无商标的) drug can get it relabelled. This means that repurposing charities are not able to work with regulators to speed up the arrival of new cures. They should be. They also deserve more of the public funding used to develop drugs.
【1】What happened to the seven large drug firms?
A．They were facing the risk of closedown.
B．They were angered by the U.S. Congress.
C．They were under fire due to high drug prices.
D．They were forced to produce more new drugs.
【2】What do the figures in paragraph 2 suggest?
A．Many drugs can be repurposed.
B．New drugs are in high demand.
C．Many new treatments are in doubt.
D．Types of rare diseases are increasing.
【3】What may be a big problem with repurposing generic drugs?
A．Financial issues.
B．Technical problems.
C．Safety controls.
D．Marketing strategies.
【4】What would be the best title for the text?
A．The significance of drugs firms
B．Changes in drug patent laws
C．The future of generic drugs
D．Old drugs in new bottles
28、Good pronunciation is an important part of learning English. The way your speech sounds can have a big influence on whether or not people understand what you are saying and their impressions of you. The tricky thing about pronunciation is that it’s not just a question of getting knowledge, but a physical skill that you need to practise regularly. 【1】 However, there are some ways you can practice more effectively and improve your skills faster.
It’s often difficult to find pronunciation errors in your own speech. 【2】 If you can’t find your pronunciation problems, it’s difficult to correct them. Try recording your speech with your smart phone or PC and making a note of specific areas you need to improve on.
Moreover, many English learners think that speaking fluently means they need to speak fast. 【3】 Speaking too fast reinforces (加强) bad habits and makes the speaker sound nervous and indecisive (无决断力的). Speaking slowly will give you time to breathe properly and think about what you want to say next. Because it gives you time to think while you are speaking, you’ll feel more relaxed and be able to concentrate on making your English sound fantastic.
【4】 You’re teaching your mouth a new way to move and using different muscles. Focus on difficult sounds each day. Having trouble with “th”? Put your tongue between your teeth (don’t bite down) and blow air out of your mouth. Feel the air move over the top of your tongue. 【5】 Singing helps you relax and just get those words out, as well as helping your rhythm (节奏) and intonation (语调). Because you don’t need to concentrate on constructing sentences for yourself, you can concentrate on making your pronunciation sound great!
A．This is wrong.
B．Pronunciation matters.
C．Pronunciation is a physical skill.
D．There are no shortcuts to perfect pronunciation.
E．There is no doubt that all your efforts will pay off.
F．Another method worth a try is learning popular English songs.
G．That’s because you are concentrating on communicating rather than the sound you are making.
29、Soft skills are personal qualities that influence how well you can work or interact with others. 【1】 They are essential for your success in the workplace and your personal life.
【2】 A report by iCIMS Hiring Insights found that 94 percent of employers believe an employee with stronger soft skills has a better chance of being promoted to a leadership position than an employee with more years of experience but weaker soft skills. It’s become vital to develop these skills if you want to progress in your career.
The modern workplace is interpersonal. Skills such as active listening, presenting ideas clearly and communicating with people effectively are all highly valued in the modern workplace. 【3】 And they are key elements for organizations in an increasingly competitive world.
Customers and clients demand soft skills. Thanks to the development of online shopping, consumers have a number of choices of where to buy the desired items. For these consumers, convenience and low prices are easy to come by, so customer service is often what influences the choice to use a particular business. 【4】
The future workplace will depend on soft skills. 【5】 Advances in technology like these have caused tasks that require hard skills to decline, making soft skills a key differentiator (区分者) in the workplace. A study by Deloitte Access Economics predicts that soft skill-intensive jobs will account for two-thirds of all jobs by 2030.
A．Soft skills benefit career progression.
B．We need to improve our own hard skills.
C．The term “soft skills” covers a wide range of skills.
D．Good communication with customers is therefore quite vital.
E．Automation and AI will result in lots of jobs relying on soft skills.
F．These skills help you form relationships with people and create trust.
G．Strong soft skills ensure a productive and healthy work environment.
30、The Double Seventh Festival, also known as the Qixi Festival, is a traditional Chinese festival. Here is a beautiful story _______ it.

From then on, Niulang and Zhini had to live________ on the two sides of the river. However,their true love________ all the magpies(喜鹊) in the world, ________once a year tens of thousands of magpies would fly up to heaven to make a bridge- the bridge of magpies for the couple to meet each other.

31、 
If you can’t seem to catch enough Z’s during the week, you’re not alone. But bad things happen to your body when you’re sleep-deprived, not least of which is weight gain. Well, here’s some good news: Sleeping in on the weekend to make up for sleep lost during the week is 【1】 with lower body mass index (BMI), according to a study published in the Oxford University Press journal Sleep.
The researchers, a collaboration of scientists based in Boston, Massachusetts, and the Republic of Korean, sought to determine if what they refer to as “catch-up sleep”【2】 body mass index (BMI) in the general population. To do so, they conducted face-to-face interviews of a random sampling of 2,156 adults, comparing their sleep habits with their BMI scores. The 932 participants who slept in – “catch-up sleepers” (people who sleep longer on the weekend than on weekdays by approximately two hours) had a(n)【3】lower BMI than the other subjects. What’s more, every additional hour of catch-up sleep was linked with a decrease in BMI.
As to why sleeping in on weekends can lead to weight loss, one of the study co-authors, Robert Thomas, MD, MMSc, of the Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine, Department of Medicine at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston,【4】 Reader’s Digest of the “substantial(大量的) experimental and epidemiological(流行病学的) data that short sleep contributes to weight gain.” He notes, “our best 【5】as researchers are that there are balances to be kept, and the body can adjust and 【6】 within reason. Catch-up sleep allows the basic balance to be maintained.”
Although the study showed significant differences in BMI with the 【7】of two or more hours of catch-up sleep, Dr. Thomas points out that there are “substantial individual differences,” such that the benefit we get from those extra hours will vary 【8】 on how much sleep each of us generally needs. “To determine your optional sleep, you can track the time spent sleeping on nights when there is no need to wake up to an alarm,” suggests Liza Baker, a health coach at Simply Health Coaching. That tells you about how many hours of sleep your body likes to get, since it 【9】greatly across the population, from just 4 to 5 hours to 9 to 10 hours.
So can you actually lost weight by sleeping in on the weekend? Only if you’re paying off a sleep 【10】from the week, according to the result of this study. It helps if you’re also eating less, Dr. Thomas adds.
