How do people determine the sex. Why do people want to know, and what impact does it have on their pregnancy?

While the potential risks of ultrasound (超声波) are thought to he lowest, it is not recommended simply to find out the sex of your baby. There is also the question of accuracy. Ultrasound is less accurate than genetic testing.  Ultrasound is available to the majority of pregnant women, despite the warning against the routine use of ultrasound.

Genetic testing is 99.1 % accurate in determining the sex of your baby. However, genetic testing carries the risk of losing the pregnancy or harming the pregnancy. Amniocentesis (羊膜穿刺术) is usually said to have a 1%～2% loss rate and an additional 1%～2% infection or problem rate. There have also been reports of disorder. Recent studies suggest that this problem is reduced if done after 10 weeks.

Knowing the sex of your unborn baby can be for common reasons, such as decorating a baby room, or it can he for medical reasons, such as a sex-linked gene disorder.

The impact of knowing the sex of your unborn baby can be anywhere front tiny things, such as decorating a nursery to high impact such as deciding to stop a pregnancy because of a sex-linked disorder. There is also the question of accuracy and bringing your new baby boy home to his pink room and closet full of dresses.

There are ways of predicting the sex of your baby that are not as accurate, and should not be used for diagnostic (诊断的) purposes but are fun. Either way you go, whether or not you choose to know, the surprise will eventually be revealed at that magic moment when you hear.

22、The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Minor Snow (小雪) refers to the time when it starts to snow, mostly in China's northern areas, and the temperature continues to drop.

Here are four things you should know about Minor Snow.

Wearing hats and scarves

In China, starting in Minor Snow, the wind blows from the northeast a lot. Because it's still not bitterly cold, many people do not wear hats or scarves yet. In fact, according to an old Chinese saying, "The head is the place where all passages of the body gather". It's sensible to keep one's head warm.

Drinking soup

During Minor Snow, indoor heating begins to work, which means the air indoors is dry and most people might find their nose and mouth feels a bit dry. According to practices in traditional Chinese medicine, this accumulation of "inner heat" in one's body can cause problems, including oral ulcers and breakouts (口腔溃疡和破损). The solution is to drink more hot soup, such as cabbage and bean curd soup, spinach and bean curd soup, and mutton and radish soup.

Making preserved pork

After Minor Snow, the temperature declines sharply and the air becomes dry. It is the best time to start making preserved pork, which by the Chinese Spring Festival would be ready to enjoy. In the past, when storage conditions were poor, people developed many ways to store food and preserved pork is one such example. So even in the bitter winter, the whole family could enjoy meat. Some even say preserved pork tastes more delicious than fresh meat.

Avoiding spicy food

On cold days, people may crave some hot and spicy food to keep warm. Experts say it's wise not to eat overly spicy food, since that will increase your inner heat.

【1】Which of the following can best describe Minor Snow?

A．Snowy and cold.

B．Warm and cozy.

C．Golden and windy.

D．Comfortable and cool.

【2】Why do people drink soup during Minor Snow?

A．To save food.

B．To keep warm.

C．To solve problems caused by "inner heat".

D．To chase after fashion and follow the tradition.

【3】How to keep warm during Minor Snow?

A．Eat overly spicy food.

B．Do not go outside and stay in bed.

C．Make preserved pork with your family.

D．Wear hats and scarves and eat proper hot and spicy food.

23、   Initially South Korea had been doing well against the virus, but in August, the number of reported infections nearly doubled, from 56 to 103, in just two days. It reached a peak of 441 cases on August 26 before ticking back down to at least 100 new infections ger day. That month, the health ministry banned large gatherings and shut nightclubs, churches and beaches to turn the tide.

Under such a terrible situation, many restaurants have taken effective measures to cope with it. For example, No Brand Burger, a fast-food chain in South Korea, is using robots to take orders, prepare food and bring meals out to diners. As a result, customers can avoid any interaction with a human server during the pandemic （疫'情）.

Customers order and pay via touchscreen, and then their request is sent to the kitchen where a cooking machine heats up the buns and patties. When it's ready, a robot “waiter” brings out their takeout bag. Human workers add toppings to the burgers and wrap them up in takeout bags before passing them over to serving robots.

Last month, takeout orders at No Brand Burger accounted for 58 percent total sales, up from 42 percent in July, according to the chain's parent company, Shinsegae Food. After a recent second wave of coronavirus infections, restaurants in South Korea were only allowed to provide takeout and delivery after 9 p. m. —a restriction that was only lifted Monday. Other restaurants in Asia have started employing robot servers during the pandemic.

In South Korea, the Italian restaurant chain Mad for Garlic is using serving robots even, for sit-down customers. Using 3D space mapping and other technology, the electronic “waiter”, known as Aglio Kim, navigates between tables with up to five orders. Mad for Garlic manager Lee Young — ho said kids especially like the robots, which can carry up to 66 pounds in their trays.

【1】What's the function of Paragraph 1?

A.It shows how severe the pandemic was.

B.It provides background information of robot service.

C.It introduces the measures the government has taken.

D.It arouses people's interest in reading the text.

【2】Why are serving robots put into use?

A.To cut human interaction during the pandemic.

B.To improve the efficiency of restaurants.

C.To promote Robot technology.

D.To attract children customers.

【3】What can robots at a fast-food chain in South Korea do?

A.Add toppings to the burgers. B.Pack food for diners.

C.Bring meals out to diners D.Chat with customers.

【4】What can be learned from the last two paragraphs?

A.The robot service is generally welcomed by customers.

B.Other restaurants have long put robots into practice.

C.Restaurants could only provide takeout in the day time.

D.Children like robots because they can play with them.

24、There are certain things that can only be learned through experiences. The benefit of having a mentor (导师) is one of the best examples. 【1】 For the first time, I had someone not telling me what to do but helping me look at my options and finding an answer.

Through the Pearson Scholarship for Higher Education, I met my mentor, Lindsey Erlick. She wasn’t so stubborn as I had thought. 【2】 Instead of only talking about her experiences, she wanted to understand why I looked at things the way I did. Helping my mentor understand my perspective helped me better understand myself. This mentorship experience proved to me there is so much about me I never knew.

【3】 Growing up I was often taught to pursue things with a reward in mind. Moving away from the reward and trying things for the experience helped me to better understand what I really wanted to do with my life. I never knew how much potential I had until I was pushed to my limits. There were so many experiences I was passing up just because I was shy.

When my mentor shared her struggles, I think I realized how similar we really are. She battled stage fright just like me and seeing how she overcomes it every day in her job gave me the confidence that I could do it, too. 【4】

I realized that I loved being the change I wanted to see. My shyness melted away and I have confidence in voicing my beliefs. 【5】 I joined various non - profit organizations that focused on helping the people in the community.

A．A mentoring relationship is valuable.

B．She was a very understanding person.

C．Communicating with others became a passion.

D．My experience as a learner was a key moment in my life.

E．I noticed my confidence brought about a sea of opportunities.

F．I gained opportunities to interact with my experienced mentor.

G．My mentor often challenged me to find things I was passionate about.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Amanda lived in a big modern city. Due to the high-speed development of economy, families from different backgrounds came here to find a better life. Amanda’s classmate and friend, Rama, was from one of those families.

One day after school, Amanda and Rama were chatting and Rama mentioned how much she missed her friends and hometown. “It is hard to leave,” Rama sighed, “but my family needed to be somewhere that is easier to make a living. Holding Rama’s hands, Amanda encouraged her to share more and she knew Rama loved to sing and dance with her friends back in her hometown.

After learning about Rama’s story, Amanda started to notice more students like Rama in her school. For the first time she realized that those students looked sad in their eyes. Sometimes because of their different accents, they couldn’t communicate well with others, which made them always sit or stand silently at the back of the classroom.

“They are having a hard time, we should show them kindness and love!” she told her mother one day. Amanda asked her mother what she could do to help make them feel welcome. Amanda’s mother suggested, “What about using art? Maybe it will be easier to communicate through art.” Amanda thought for a while and nodded. Like her friend Rama, Amanda loved all forms of art, like painting, singing, dancing, and performing, through which she could tell different stories about her family, and her life.

The next day, Amanda went to the Activity Center in her school and proposed her plan of an art show. The officer thought it a great idea. Inspired and excited, Amanda set about her plan with several friends. At the Activity Center they filled a room with paper, paint and pencils. They even made a small stage! Everything ready, they invited all the new students in her school and Amanda encouraged them to share something special about their hometown in any art form. To Amanda’s surprise, no one responded.

注意:
