21、 In the last few years, companies like oBike have begun flooding streets in places like Japan and Australia with bikes. Businessman Mike Than Tun Win realized these bikes could do much good for schoolchildren in Myanmar, of whom some walk an hour or more every day to school. Then he created LessWalk which buys up the bikes from other countries.
LessWalk modifies(改装)bikes to make them more useful for students. The rental bikes used to require a smartphone app to unlock them. LessWalk changed this for a lock with a key. They also added a second seat in the back of the bikes, allowing two children to ride to school on one bike. Recently they’re replacing the bike’s regular tires with a solid tire that can’t go flat. With all the changes, each bike packed attractively costs LessWalk about $35. “Despite the cost, the benefits it can develop are well worth trying,” Than told TechCrunch.
The project bought thousands of rental bikes from failed companies and shipped them to Myanmar. The process wasn’t as easy as it sounds—there was lots of paperwork concerned in moving the bikes from one country to another. But giving out the bikes takes a little longer given that LessWalk wants to make sure that the bikes go, for free, to the students who need them the most and Myanmar has a population of over 50 million people and more than nine million students. The project is working with Myanmar’s government and school systems to focus on poor students walking long distances a day to school.
Than hopes to bring in as many as 100,000 bikes and expand the program to other countries like Laos and Cambodia. Than is also hopeful that he can inspire “global friends” to follow him to put the abandoned bikes to work, instead of creating yet more urban waste.
【1】How many modifications does LessWalk do to the bikes?
A.2. B.3.
C.4. D.5.
【2】Why does it take longer to donate the recycled bikes?
A.Shipping the bikes is so difficult. B.There’re too many poor students.
C.The bikes need packing carefully. D.Targeted bike donation is needed.
【3】Which can best describe Than Tun Win as the leader of the project?
A.Ambitious. B.Encouraged.
C.Well-experienced. D.Nature-loving.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Removal of Urban Rubbish B.Recycle of Donated Bikes
C.Benefits beyond the Cost D.Students’ New Vehicles

23、It was dark as Ibrahim Al Hussein came to. He couldn’t move and thick dust filled the air, blocking out all but a few small flames dancing close by. It was hard to breathe. Something wasn’t right and he could not feel his foot. As the smoke of the bombing cleared Al Hussein was saved but lost his lower right leg forever.
After several twists and turns, Al Hussein managed to escape from war-torn Syria to Athens, Greece. With no money left on him, he had to sleep on the streets and look for fruit in trees or eat grass from the park. Luckily, he later found work cleaning toilets at a local cafe. He worked every day of the week with no breaks and was proud to be supporting himself. But he was missing something—sport.
Al Hussein used to be a sportsman. As war broke out in Syria in 2011, all sports stadiums were forced to close, but now settled and safe in Athens, he was desperate to return to physical activity. In May, 2015, his prayers were answered. A swimming club gave him permission to train there.
“When I looked at the address I realised it was the Athens Aquatics Centre,” says Al Hussein, who, at the age of 16, had watched the 2004 Olympics unfold on a small TV in his cosy Syrian home. “Seeing those Olympics gave me motivation to do sport and although it was a flashback to the past, it was also a look to a better future because I had made it to the pool I’d watched and dreamt of swimming in.”
For much of 2015 he swam in the morning and then worked at the cafe until late in the evening. It was tough, but it worked for him and, in early 2016, he secured two medals at the Greek Para Swimming National Championships. People began to take note.
【1】What caused Al Hussein to lose his lower right leg?
A.A war.
B.A fire.
C.An illness.
D.An accident.
【2】What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A.Why Al Hussein worked hard.
B.How Al Hussein survived in Greece.
C.Why Al Hussein missed sport.
D.How Al Hussein escaped from Syria.
【3】What can be inferred about the Athens Aquatics Centre?
A.It was forced to close in 2011.
B.Al Hussein went there at age 16.
C.It used to be a swimming club.
D.The 2004 Olympics were held there.
【4】Which of the following can best describe Al Hussein?
A.Independent but proud.
B.Motivated but stubborn.
C.Ambitious and religious.
D.Hardworking and optimistic
24、 “ New and improved. ” These words are put in so many marketing campaigns that we tend to accept them as linked. But many new drugs aren't an improvement over the best existing drug for a given condition, and the fast drug-approval processes in recent years have added to the uncertainty about their advantages.
A recent report in the British Medical Journal, "New Drugs: Where Did We Go Wrong and What Can We Do Better?, analysed the issue, The authors looked at 216 drugs approved between 2011 and 2017 ; 152 were newly developed, and 64 were existing medicine approved for new uses. Only 25% offered a major advantage over the established treatment, and fully 58% had no confirmed added benefit to reduce symptoms or improve health-related quality of life.
"This doesn’t mean there's no added benefit," lead author Wieseler said. “It just means we have no positive proof. Either we have no studies or have studies not good enough. ” Wieseler and her co-authors work for a German institute which evaluates new treatments and advises on whether the country's health care system should pay a premium ( 占)for them. Such organizations , known as health technology assessment ( HTA) agencies, work a little differently in the US, says Sean Tunis,a researcher in Baltimore: “ If payers think a new drug isn't better than an existing drug,these agencies will require .that hospitals try the cheaper drug first. ”
Germany's HTA demands trials to prove that a new treatment beats the existing standard. This isn't always practical For one thing, such studies can be expensive and time-consuming, with no guarantee of success. Secondly, it can discourage companies from attempting to develop new alternatives. This is already happening. Drug developers are increasingly focused on areas where there are no good treatments to compete with, such as rare diseases.
This lack of meaningful data to guide patients is a major point of Wieseler's paper- With accelerated approval, there are more products approved, with a greater amount of uncertainty about risks and benefits. But there are other solutions besides drug trials. One idea is to require postmarket studies to track the effectiveness of newly approved drugs—a step too often neglected.
【1】What message does the recent report convey?
A.Many new drugs have no improved advantages.
B.The approval processes for new drugs are too fast.
C.Improved drugs have advantages over old ones.
D.Before 2017 no improvement was made to drugs.
【2】What will US HTA agencies do when no advantage is found in new drugs?
A.Remove government premium on them.
B.Get hospitals to use the cheaper drugs.
C.Arrange financial support for the patients.
D.Put new drugs on further trials and studies.
【3】What's the disadvantage of Germany's HTA trial demands?
A.Making drug companies think of illegal ways to cut cost.
B.Pushing companies to try alternatives for existing drugs.
C.Getting patients to depend on the government for support.
D.Holding companies back from improving existing drugs.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.The Advantage of Existing Drugs
B.Misunderstanding of New and Old Drugs
C.A Dilemma with New Drug Alternatives
D.Peopled Preference for New or Old Drugs

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。续写词数应为150左右。
Cindi sometimes felt different from her friends. She liked sports and baseball caps, things her friends were definitely not interested in. In early spring, a flyer(传单) advertising a competition arrived. City Co-Ed Soccer Team Tryouts! Saturday only. Welcome all boys and girls. “That’s it!” Cindi thought. Saturday seemed to take forever to arrive. “Soccer shoes, sweatpants, a water bottle and, oh, my lucky cap,” Cindi said, packing her bag.
As she parked her bike, her eyes searched through the field. Her heart sank. “Please... let there be just one,” she thought. How could her luck be so bad? Of the 50 kids there, not one was a girl! Cindi felt as though she stuck out. “Time for Plan B.” She ran behind a stand, pulling on her sweatpants and hiding her hair in the cap. Her heart raced as she tied her shoes. “Calm down,” she thought, walking over with her head down. “Just try to fit in.”
The first tryout drill showed Cindi’s talents. She moved the ball with ease, ran fastest, and made passes that were always on target. “Nice work,” the coach said. He was an approachable man and very impressed by Cindi’s performance.
For the final tryout, the kids were to kick the ball past the goalkeeper, who was the star of last year’s team and was tough to beat. When Cindi pretended to shoot to the left, the goalkeeper moved for the block, but she then shot to the right. Goal! The coach wrote something on his board.
In the final round of shots, Cindi decided to try a direct kick over his head. Unknown to her, someone had stepped on her shoelace(鞋带), and it was now untied. As she made the final kick, not only did the ball go flying into the net, but it was followed by her shoe! All the kids laughed and pointed.
Cindi was nervous and embarrassed! As she felt the tears begin to pool in her eyes, she ran to her bike and rode home as fast as she could. Through the front door, Cindi ran up the stairs to her room and threw herself onto the bed.
