21、   Health and Social Care Secretary Jeremy Hunt has announced that the UK will host the first ever Global Ministerial Mental Health Summit(峰会) in London this October.This global summit aims to put mental-health care on an equal footing with the physical kind.

But there is a long way to go. One in four people will experience a mental-health problem at some point in life. In rich countries mental illnesses account for more suffering and premature death than heart disease, strokes(中风) or cancer. Meanwhile the central-African countries have just one mental-health professional per 100,000 people, a fiftieth as many as Europe has. (Less than 1% of foreign aid for health care goes towards mental health.)

As developing countries handle infectious diseases, mental health will consume a greater share of budgets and attention there. By 2020 mental-health conditions may account for 15% of the global burden of disease, but even in rich countries many people with common problems still go without treatment.

It is clear that mental illness is fast becoming one of the global health challenges of the 21st century. Until recently, this hasn’t had the profile it deserves on a global stage. The ministers gathering in London must produce new money and focus—and not just another declaration. The summit is also expected to help countries learn from each other to find the best ways to deal with increased rates of depression and anxiety among young people.

【1】Which of the following best explains “on an equal footing” underlined in paragraph 1?

A.Standing up for. B.Being as important as.

C.Standing in one’s shoes. D.Having an advantage over.

【2】What is the purpose of holding the meeting?

A.To find more foreign aid for health care.

B.To make a declaration on mental illnesses.

C.To solve the physical problems of the youth.

D.To stress the importance of mental health.

【3】Which disease causes more premature death in rich countries?

A.Heart disease. B.Cancer.

C.Mental illness. D.Stroke.

【4】What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?

A.Effective measures should be taken on mental health.

B.The problem of mental illness has drawn enough attention.

C.People in developed countries suffer less mental illnesses.

D.Mental-health diseases have taken up about 15% of the global illness cases.

22、   “What is the biggest challenge of graduate school?” an undergraduate asked the discussion group of graduate students at an event I helped organize last summer. “Not letting the support from my community turn into pressure,” one group member responded.

That answer might have surprised some people. But I understood exactly what she meant. The speaker was an African-American woman. I am a member of a minority group myself, pursuing (追求) a doctor’s degree in chemistry, so her comment resonated (共鸣) with me.

Throughout my education, friends and family have expected me to take advantage of every opportunity I come across because I may not get the same chance again. Members of my community expect me to give outstanding performances everywhere I go because I represent them and our culture. This has been a great source of motivation, but also of pressure. And when I heard the member echo (重复) my experience, I understood that I needed to educate my community about how their comments made me feel and how to keep their support from becoming stressful.

Now when people in my community—always with the best intentions—say something that creates pressure, I tell them and we talk about it. This was a bit awkward at first. But they want to support me, so I need to give them the tools to do that.

Sometimes, friends and family ask me, “How soon can you get your degree?” As many students will agree, this question makes them feel bad. Now I respond by telling them that I prefer to be asked “How are you progressing in your program?” and I explain why.

All graduate students carry a weight of expectations from family, friends and community. Being aware of our needs and opening up lines of communication with supporters is a starting point for making the journey less stressful.

【1】How does the author introduce the topic?

A.By asking questions for readers to think about.

B.By presenting a situation that aroused her thought.

C.By quoting a famous saying.

D.By comparing different research findings.

【2】What does the author think of the response made by the discussion group member?

A.It is puzzling.

B.It is ridiculous.

C.It is reasonable.

D.It is surprising.

【3】What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 3 refers to?

A.A different culture.

B.A golden opportunity.

C.The author’s achievement.

D.Other people’s expectations.

【4】How does the author react to her friends and families’ questions causing stress now?

A.She tells them her thoughts.

B.She pretends not to hear them.

C.She refuses to talk to them again.

D.She argues with them about these questions.

23、When we see someone for the first time, we interpret many tiny things from their faces. But since the pandemic began, we have often been interacting with people whose faces we can only half see. And this goes both ways, weakening our ability to offer a friendly smile. So what does it mean to go more than a year without seeing smiles as steadily as we did before?

A 2020 research paper in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology found that dividing the face into a visible half and invisible half might enhance the perception of negative emotions and decrease the perception of positive emotions. “Emotions such as surprise that use the mouth may be mistaken for strongly negative emotions such as anger or sadness, and a smile may seem diminished or less genuine when the teeth and lips are covered,” the authors wrote.

Peter Revenaugh has been studying how people interpret faces for years. He knows this firsthand. As a surgeon who often wears masks around patients, he is careful to use other cues to be clear when, for example, he is making a joke. “Some of my jokes fall flat,” he said, "because they’re not really sure. They can’t see me smiling.”

Ways to adjust to restricted facial communication include making more of an effort to analyse positivity. People can employ a cadence (抑扬顿挫) to their speech to guide others, for example. Crinkling the corners of the eyes, a lighter tone of the voice, all can help. Revenaugh has tried to use his eyes more to express meaning. “Our eyes crinkle at the corner when we’re doing a true smile, and most people around the world recognize that as a happy feeling,” he said. And when Revenaugh is with a patient, both masked, and he is joking? “I’ll simply say, ‘I’m joking.” he said.

【1】What can be inferred from paragraph 2?

A．Surprise is mainly expressed through the eyes.

B．Negative emotions always involve the mouth.

C．Half of our emotions are mistaken due to wearing masks.

D．The mouth can be very helpful in interpreting an emotion.

【2】What gives Revenaugh an advantage in understanding the perception of emotions?

A．His occupation.

B．His personality.

C．His sense of humor.

D．His interpreting skills.

【3】How does Revenaugh make sure his jokes don’t fall flat?

A．By whispering his jokes to people.

B．By making gestures with his hands.

C．By identifying his patients in a positive way.

D．By telling his intention directly to the patients.

【4】What could be the best title of the text?

A．Side Effects of Facial Communication

B．Bringing Back Smiles in the Pandemic

C．How to Improve Masked Communication

D．How to Change the Way People Wear Masks

24、   Sometimes we may find that every week there are a lot of new stories about how climate change is affecting the planet, or new plans to battle its effects. But the concept itself isn’t new at all — in fact, scientists have been exploring questions about climate change for almost 200 years.

The idea of “greenhouse gases” goes back to 1824, when Joseph Fourier wondered what was regulating the earth’s temperature. Fourier concluded that the atmosphere must be responsible for containing the heat absorbed from the sun and described it as a box with a glass lid: As light shines through the glass, the inside gets warmer as the lid traps the heat. As Fourier’s ideas spread, it came to be called “the greenhouse effect”.

Scientists continued to study the greenhouse effect. Not until a Swedish chemist named Svante Arrhenius came along, did scientists understand how global warming actually works. After years of work, Arrhenius determined that the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere did in fact have a direct effect on global temperatures.

Arrhenius found that CO2, and other gases trap radiation, which warms the atmosphere. Arrhenius was the first to suspect that burning coal could contribute to the greenhouse effect. But Arrhenius welcomed the warming effect on the planet. At a lecture later that year, Arrhenius noted that creatures of a warmer earth “might live under a milder sky and in less barren surroundings”.

While Arrhenius’ findings won him the 1903 Nobel Prize in chemistry, scientists kept debating whether the greenhouse effect was increasing until 1950, when researchers finally began to find strong data supporting it. By the end of the 1950s, American scientists had been sounding the alarm on the long-term consequences of climate change. Climate change research has come a long way since

Fourier first described the greenhouse effect - still, maybe Arrhenius should have been more careful of what he wished for.

【1】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A.The climate change. B.The greenhouse effect.

C.The atmosphere. D.The heat from the sun.

【2】What did Arrhenius think of the greenhouse effect?

A.It was beneficial for creatures on the earth.

B.It had both advantages and disadvantages.

C.It did more harm than good to human beings.

D.It was a punishment for human harmful activities.

【3】What’s the author’s attitude towards Arrhenius’ wish?

A.Optimistic. B.Negative.

C.Neutral. D.Ambiguous.

【4】What’s the main idea of the text?

A.Causes of climate change. B.Effects of greenhouse gases.

C.Findings about global warming. D.Explorations on climate change.

25、It’s a moving story. A primary school teacher in Kentucky went above and beyond to _________ that a special student was included during a fun class field trip.

The student was a 10-year-old girl named Ryan Neighbors. Born with a defect called spina bifida (脊椎裂), she has to use a wheelchair for her _________ life. Because of the lack of wheelchair access, previous school trips had been a _________ to the young girl. This year, Neighbors’ family learned from the school that the class would be _________ the Ohio State Park, which was obviously inaccessible. So the family started to plan a (n) _________ trip to cheer her up. Fortunately, Jim Freeman, who teaches the class next door to Neighbors’ classroom, _________ and volunteered to carry her around the park using a special backpack.

Freeman’s _________ brought Shelly King, Neighbors’ mother, to tears. “ It is said that Freeman carried our daughter on his back all the way to explore the state park. It _________ my heart,” said Shelly. “He was so _________ that he strived (努力) to make sure that Neighbors was included and not __________.” So Shelly went to social media to __________ Freeman. So far, the post has been __________ thousands of times. “This is just one of the physical acts that we do daily in school. It was nothing more than a way to __________ a student in need,” Freeman __________.

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。续写的词数应为150左右。

A man came home from work late again, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.

“Daddy, may I ask you a question?”

"Yeah, sure. What is it?"replied the man.

“Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?”

“That’s none of your business. What makes you ask such a thing?” the man said angrily.

“I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?” pleaded the little boy.

“If you must know, I make $20 an hour.”

“Oh,” the little boy replied, with his head bowed.

Looking up, he said, “Daddy, may I borrow $10, please?”

The father was furious. “If the only reason you wanted to know how much money I make is just so you can borrow some to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you’re being so selfish. I work long, hard hours every day and don’t have time for such childish games.”

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even madder about the little boy’s questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think he may have been a little hard on his son. Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 and he really didn’t ask for money very often.

The man went to the door of the little boy’s room and opened the door.

“Are you asleep, son?” he asked.

“No, Daddy, I’m awake,” replied the boy.

“I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier,” said the man. “It has been a long day and I took my aggravation out on you. Here’s that $10 you asked for.”

The little boy sat straight up, beaming. “Oh. Thank you, Daddy!” he yelled.

Paragraph 1：

Then, the little boy reached under his pillow.
