21、   Walt Disney has spent the past three years making a shift to online streaming. Bob Iger, Disney's chief executive has repeatedly called the shift the "number one priority".

It therefore came as a surprise when Disney abruptly announced that Mr. Iger was retiring, with nearly two years left, to be replaced "immediately" by Bob Chapek, who has least experience in streaming.

"You thought you were going hard right, and all of a sudden you went hard left," said Rich Greenfield, a media analyst. He compared the choice to Apple's decision to replace Steve Jobs with Tim Cook: "You're choosing the operating executive instead of the wise, dynamic CEO."

The appointment came as a surprise also because analysts had considered Kevin Mayer, another longtime Disney executive, as the most likely candidate to take over Iger's position. In March 2018, Mayer was appointed to run Disney's streaming and international businesses-a high-profile job given Mr. Iger's emphasis on streaming as the future of the entire group.

"When thinking about what I need to do before I leave the company, creatively getting everything on track is my number one goal. If I also need to run the company every day, I will not be able to do that," said Iger.

According to the financial report, while Disney's streaming has attracted more subscribers, the war of streaming media is a war of burning money. It lost$693 million.

It is the theme park business in the charge of Chapek that has performed the task of "blood transfusion" for these money-burning new businesses. In 2019, by September, Disney's theme park unit operating profit rose by 11% to $6.76 billion. Wall Street analysis predicts that by September 2024, Disney's theme park division will have a profit of $10 billion and streaming media operating profit is expected to approach $2.5 billion.

"Look at the businesses he's been in charge of. They have nothing to do with streaming, but everything to do with profitability," said Brian Wieser, president of business intelligence at GroupM.

【1】What does Iger value most in running Walt Disney in the last few years?

A.Repeated changes. B.More profit. C.Creative goal. D.Online streaming.

【2】What is Greenfield's attitude towards the appointment of Chapek?

A.Doubtful. B.Curious. C.Supportive. D.Ignorant.

【3】What does the underlined part "blood transfusion" in Paragraph 7 probably mean?

A.Saving lives. B.Ending a war. C.Borrowing money. D.Recovering losses.

【4】Why was Chapek rather than Mayer appointed as Disney's chief executive?

A.Chapek is more experienced in streaming.

B.Mayer was too self-satisfied after 2018 promotion.

C.Chapek is abler to get Disney financially balanced.

D.Mayer caused Disney to lose much in pushing streaming.

22、   Here are some ways of encouraging a friend to get through a difficult time.

1. Make contact.

When you find out that someone is going through a crisis, get in contact with them as soon as possible. If the person is far away, make a phone call or send an email. 【1】 This is especially important if they’re dealing with an illness that makes it difficult to leave the house.

2. Listen to them without judgment.

People need to tell their stories in their own time. Of course you’re going to have opinions about their situation. 【2】 Focus on your friend, so they work through the healing process.

3. Offer practical help.

Instead of offering advice, what you can offer is some actual help. This can make a huge difference for them. 【3】 Help them out with some chores like doing their grocery shopping for them, helping clean their house, and taking their dog for a walk.

4. 【4】

When someone is going through a difficult life event, the basic functions of life tend to get forgotten. They possibly forget to eat or stop caring for their appearance. Remind them to do things like shower, and exercise.

5. Don’t take over their life.

Taking over their life may overwhelm them. 【5】 Don’t just take your friend to dinner, ask them where and when they want to dine. Letting them make decisions, even if they’re small decisions, can go long way towards reclaiming their power.

A.Even doing some little things can make a difference.

B.You should offer options to them.

C.Sometimes visiting someone in person is also effective.

D.You should use your past experiences to help them.

E.But it isn’t always necessary to share your advice.

F.It’s better to be there for them.

G.Encourage your friend to keep up with the life basics.

23、MacArthur’s love for sailing dates back to when she was just four years of age, when she first got the opportunity to have a try. “I’ll never forget that feeling as a kid of setting foot on a boat for the first time,” MacArthur said. “It’s kind of struck me that this boat had everything we needed to take us anywhere in the world. And as a child, that opened up everything,” she explained how it felt like the “greatest sense of freedom”.

This experience lighted a passion within MacArthur. She knew then that she wanted to sail around the world. She had no idea how to achieve it — growing up in the countryside, it wasn’t the most obvious career path — but she knew that was what she wanted to do at some stage. So, she acquired knowledge and saved up for years to seek a career in sailing. She would have potato and beans every day for eight years so that she could save up to buy the right equipment. By reaching certain financial goals and asking technical questions about sailing, MacArthur felt as though she was getting closer to her ambitions.

“When you know where you’re going, you can actually get there — even if it seems impossible. The impossible could be possible and aiming high is not necessarily such a crazy thing to do.” And it seems that MacArthur’s drive to become a sailor went beyond her expectations. At the age of 24, she started to receive media attention after participating in the Vendee Globe, a single-handed non-stop yacht (游艇) race that goes around the world. She came in second place. Some three to four years later, MacArthur chose to sail for 71 days and 14 hours, covering more than 26,000 miles during the course of her journey. This led to MacArthur scoring a new world record in 2005, as the fastest person to sail around the globe single-handedly. While this record has since been surpassed, MacArthur is still considered as Britain’s most successful off shore racer.

【1】What happened to MacArthur when she was four?

A．She was given a chance to sail.

B．She saw a boat for the first time.

C．She sailed around the world.

D．She got stuck in a boat.

【2】What do we know about MacArthur from paragraph 2?

A．She worked as a technician to earn money.

B．She got financial support for her ambitions.

C．She knew clearly about her career path.

D．She prepared herself for her goal.

【3】What happened to MacArthur in 2005?

A．She became the fastest person to sail around the world alone.

B．She began to gain a lot of media attention.

C．She took second place in a yacht race.

D．She had her record broken.

【4】What does the story mainly tell?

A．Follow your own course, and let people talk.

B．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

C．Failure is the mother of success.

D．Doing is better than saying.

24、Many factories and businesses around the globe have been struggling to deal with the severe economic realities of the recession(衰退), so they are having their employees take compulsory unpaid leave to save money. For some workers, their salaries have been cut by 20 percent, forced to stay home one out of every five working days. For some businesses, though, the economic downturn is actually a goldmine.

Instead of going out to fancy restaurants to dine with the whole family, many choose to stay at home. "People are eating out less and staying home more, which is driving our sales," reports Domino's Pizza chief manager Chris Moore. Pizza is very popular, and it is also very affordable for a family that has little extra money to spare. Domino's business in England rose 15 percent in the first six weeks this year compared with the previous year. Moore believes that the customers now will remain loyal when the financial situation rights itself. "By exceeding(超越) their expectations in terms of product quality and speed of delivery... these customers will stay with Domino's when the economy becomes better." said Moore.

Delivered pizza is not the only winner in the stay-at-home economy. Almost all online games have been reporting record-high income since the middle of 2008. Online games are designed to enable players to let off steam by interacting with each other socially in the comfort of their own homes. A Shanghai-based online game producer recently joked: "The game businesses are worried about economic recovery."

Another business that has boomed during the recession is camping equipment. Luxury vacations for families are down, but people still want to get away from their dull lives. This means that sales of tents, sleeping bags, and other outdoor equipment have gone up as families are trying to still have fun even though their bank accounts aren't as good as they once were. There have been reports that sales of fishing equipment are on the rise because many people believe this can help lower their grocery bills.

【1】What is true about Domino's in economic hard times?

A．It is giving its employees a 20 percent cut.

B．It has added four or five new cheaper pizzas.

C．It has to close 15 percent of its stores.

D．Its business is increasing quite rapidly.

【2】What does the phrase "let off steam" mean in the third paragraph?

A．Save money.

B．Free one's feelings.

C．Kill another player online.

D．Make money from an online game.

【3】How does the author present his point?

A．By giving examples.

B．By showing a sequence.

C．By explaining causes and effects.

D．By making comparisons and contrasts.

【4】Which is the best title for the passage?

A．Domino's Pizza

B．In-house Economy

C．Booming Businesses

D．Economic Recession

25、Scientists say that the brains of animals and humans risk severe damage without blood ow and oxygen. But, researchers say they were able to ________ some activity in the brains of pigs that had been killed four hours earlier. Nenad Sestan, one of the Yale School of Medicine researchers, said that by medical ________, the brains were not living brains. He added that the brains could not think or sense anything.

The researchers, however, found that cells within brains that have lost their supply of blood and oxygen could ________ longer than scientists had believed. The research might ________ new medical treatments for stroke and other conditions. It also provides a new way to study the brain and how drugs work in it. The 32 brains in the study came from pigs that had been killed for food. The scientists put the brains into a device in their lab. Four hours after the animal died, they began pumping a specially designed blood ________ through the organs. After six hours, scientists found that individual brain cells in one area of the brain had ________ to keep important details of their structure. And when they sent electric signals to the brains, the cells ________ in a way that showed viability (可生存性).

The scientists studied the artificial blood before and after it entered the treated brains. They found the brain cells were ________ blood sugar and oxygen and producing carbon dioxide: a(n) ________ hat they were working. They also found that blood pathway in treated brains reacted to a drug that makes them wider. But the brains did not show large amounts of activity that would be a sign of consciousness. The scientists said restoring consciousness was not the ________ of the study, and that they did not know whether it was possible. The scientists said that they had no ________ to try their methods on human brains at this time. ________, they arc now looking to keep the study for longer than six hours of treatment.

Chris-tof Koch, president of the Allen Institute for Brain Science, who did not take part in the study, said he was surprised by the results, ________ since they came from such a large animal. He said the study could increase our knowledge to bring people back to the land of living after a drug overdose. He suggested it also could ________ treatments for a patient when the brain has not received enough oxygen for an hour or two.

26、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

Judging from recent surveys, most experts in sleep behavior agree that there is virtually an epidemic of sleepiness in the nation.“I can’t think of a single study that hasn’t found Americans getting less sleep than they ought to,” says Dr. David. Even people who think they are sleeping enough would probably be better off with more rest.

The beginning of our sleep-deficit crisis can be traced back to the invention of the light bulb a century ago.From diary entries and our personal accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries, sleep scientists have reached the conclusion that the average person used to sleep about 9.5 hours a night.”The best sleep habits once were forced on us, when we had nothing to do in the evening down on the farm, and it was dark.” By the 1950s and 1960s, the sleep schedule had been reduced dramatically, to between 7.5 and 8 hours, and most people had to wake to an alarm clock. “People cheat in their sleep, and they don’t even realize they’re doing it,” says Dr. David, ”They think they’re okay because they can get by on 6.5 hours, when they really need 7.5, 8 or even more to feel ideally vigorous.”

Perhaps the most merciless robber of sleep, researchers say, is the complexity of the day. Whenever pressures from work, family, friends and community increase, many people consider sleep the least expensive item on their program.” In our society, you’re considered dynamic if you say you need only 5.5 hours’ sleep. If you’ve got to get 8.5 hours, people think you lack drive and ambition.”

To determine the consequences of sleep-deficit, researchers have put subjects through a set of psychological and performance tests requiring them, for instance, to add columns of numbers or recall a passage read to them only minutes earlier. “We’ve found that if you’re in sleep deficit, performance suffers,” says Dr. David, ”Short-term memory is weakened, as are abilities to make decisions and to concentrate.”
