21、Students at an elementary school in California, with the help of their art teacher, created a telephone hotline that people can call to get cheerful advice from kids during difficult times. Shortly afterwards, the hotline began getting thousands of calls an hour.

The hotline is available in English and Spanish. It offers the happy voices of children of different ages sharing positive messages. For example, by pressing 1, you can hear a group of kindergartners saying together, “You can do it! Keep trying, and don’t give up!” Pressing 2 brings the sounds of children laughing-a sound certain to bring a smile to anyone’s face.

Jessica Martin, who teaches art at West Side School in Healdsburg, California, thought her students just might have the magic words needed to bring calm to people in difficult times. Ms. Martin worked with students at West Side on a project they called “PepToc”. Actually, they called it “Pep Talk” first. But when Ms. Martin’s 6-year-old son drew an ad for the hotline and spelled it “PepToc”, they decided they liked that even better.

Most of the project was completed in a day. Ms. Martin worked with students from kindergarten to the sixth grade. She had the same basic question for all the students-What could you say to help or encourage someone else? Students working on the hotline thought of what they would like to say. When they were ready, Ms. Martin recorded each one. Later, she sorted out the recordings into the different parts of the telephone hotline.

Ms. Martin thought the project would only attract interest from people near the school. But the hotline was soon getting hundreds of calls a day-and then, thousands of calls an hour. It’s become unbelievably popular with stressed adults, patients in hospitals, older people in homes, and others who just want to hear the happy voices of children.

【1】What does the text say about the hotline?

A．It is answered by teachers.

B．It has offered callers all kinds of help.

C．It’s mainly aimed at cheering kids stuck at home.

D．It enjoyed great popularity quickly.

【2】How did the project “PepToc” get its name?

A．Out of a mistake.

B．From a similar project.

C．On the recommendation of students.

D．At the request of Ms. Martin’s son.

【3】What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?

A．Students’ interest in the hotline.

B．Primary purposes of the hotline.

C．What the hotline focuses on.

D．How the hotline was set up.

【4】What might Ms. Martin think of people’s response to the hotline?

B．Unreasonable.

C．Unexpected.

D．Unpleasant.

22、The world is going through a basic transformation, which is changing the way we live, work and think. The Fourth Industrial Revolution is bringing dramatic change and giving rise to a future filled with exciting opportunities and new challenges. Together governments and businesses must find solutions to society’s most pressing needs—from creating a carbon-free economy to tackling population growth and urbanization.

In any period of rapid change there is a trend to look for a simple method, to greet the new things and replace the old way of doing things. But a close look at the facts tells a different story. Complex problems require many solutions working in harmony to enable positive change.

The challenge for scientists and the engineers is to provide solutions in fact, data and today’s realities. And while technologies offer new tools to help uncover solutions, the process also requires hard work, imagination and lots of improvement.

Success rests on performing practical, realistic, long-term solutions that make the world cleaner, safer and more sustainable.

The environment is a case in point. Much of the public debate has centered on the central role of renewable power sources in realizing a low-carbon energy future. While the industry is fully behind the developing renewables, today we understand a low or zero-carbon future depends on adopting a multifaceted approach.

We cannot control sunshine levels or decide when the wind blows, which means solar power and wind power generators will produce too much or too little energy at times. The transition to renewables needs to take account of serious considerations.

Batteries have been much discussed as a means of storing extra energy, but there are other choices. Power-to-X technologies enable spare energy created by renewables to be stored and redistributed when and where it is needed.

【1】What’s the main idea of paragraph 2?

A．Society’s dramatic change calls for simple methods.

B．Old means of doing things should be replaced by new ones.

C．Society needs positive change for development.

D．Some problems should be solved in combined ways.

【2】What does the author expect scientists and engineers to do?

A．Offer new tools to uncover solutions.

B．Tackle population growth.

C．Work hard with imagination.

D．Make the world better with a simple method.

【3】What’s the author’s attitude to the consumption of the solar power and wind power?

A．Uncertain.

B．Cautious.

C．Unconfident.

D．Doubtful.

【4】Which of the following is the advantage of Power-to-X technologies?

A．They can adjust power supply.

B．They can conserve energy.

C．They help make more electricity.

D．They can create power from wind and sun.

23、   Infectious diseases and associated deaths have reduced, but they remain a significant threat throughout the world. Infectious diseases outbreaks and the fear and panic that accompany them present various economic risks.

First, there are costs to the health system, both public and private, of medical treatment of the infected and of outbreak control. Concern over the spread of a relatively contained outbreak can lead to decreased trade. Travel and tourism to regions affected by outbreaks are also likely to decline. Some long-running outbreaks, such as HIV, prevent foreign direct investment.

The economic risks are large. It is estimated that the expected yearly cost of infectious diseases is at roughly $500 billion. Even when the health impact of an outbreak is relatively limited, its economic consequences can quickly become expanded. Liberia, for example, saw GDP growth decline 8 percentages from 2013 to 2014 during the Ebola outbreak in Africa.

The risk is complex, but policymakers have tools in response.

Investing in improved health care, supply of clean water, and better health systems can reduce the frequency of human contact with viruses. Investment in reliable disease monitoring in both human and animal populations is also critical. Within formal global watch systems, instead of discouraging reporting possible outbreaks, it may be beneficial to develop incentives for reporting suspected cases, as countries may reasonably fear the effects of such reporting on trade, tourism, and other economic outcomes. Informal monitoring systems, social media for example, which collect information from official reports, media reports, online discussions, and eyewitness observations, can also help national health systems and international responders get ahead of the outbreak news during the early stages. Cooperations for monitoring infectious diseases readiness at the national level provide information national governments can use to react timely to their outbreaks.

There is a significant market failure when it comes to vaccines (疫苗) against individual low-probability viruses that collectively are likely to cause panic. Given the low probability that any single vaccine of this type will be needed, high Research and Development (R&D) costs, and delayed returns, medical companies hesitate to invest in their development. However, responsible international corporations such as CFPI can overcome this market failure. Its goals include advancing candidate vaccines against specific low-probability, high-severity viruses through proof of concept to enable rapid clinical testing in the event of outbreaks. It also aims to fund development of institutional and technical platforms to speed R&D in response to outbreaks for which there are no vaccines.

Undoubtedly, humans and infectious viruses will coexist. However, we can take effective measures to manage the risk of the diseases. Joint action now at the local, national, and multinational levels can go a long way toward protecting our collective well-being in the future.

【1】What does the underlined word 'incentives' in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

A.Habits. B.Opinions.

C.Arguments. D.Rewards.

【2】CFPI is a special company which

A.is able to predict the trend of the market

B.develops vaccines against infectious viruses

C.makes huge profits by selling general medicine

D.employs staff who graduate from famous universities

【3】What does the passage imply?

A.More importance should be attached to health care systems.

B.All-level cooperations are required to handle infectious diseases.

C.It will not be long before mankind thoroughly defeats the viruses.

D.Technologies hold the key to the settlement of medical problems.

【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.Health Risks and Research of Infectious Diseases

B.Global Cooperation and Spread of Infectious Diseases

C.Economic Impact and Solutions of Infectious Diseases

D.Medical Service and Development of Infectious Diseases

24、   Working at a desk all day may not be as bad for your health as sitting in front of a television after work. That is a finding of a new study done in the United States.

Jeanette Garcia, a researcher at the University of Central Florida in Orlando, led the study.

“We’ve been hearing more and more about how sitting is the new smoking. Previous evidence suggests a relationship between health problems and time spent sitting. As long as you reduce any type of sitting, then that’s helpful in improving health,” she said.

“This study, however, suggests that this may not be the case, and that we should focus more on leisure time sitting, mainly television viewing time, rather than sitting, in general,” she added.

The study followed close to 3, 600 African-American adults. Almost one-third of them watched TV for more than four hours a day. A little more than one-third of the subjects spent between two and four hours a day sitting in front of the TV. The remaining third watched TV for less than two hours a day.

Researchers followed the group for an average of 8.4 years. During the study, 205 of the subjects died and 129 others suffered a heart attack or stroke. Compared to people who watched less than two hours of television daily, those who spent more than four hours in front of the TV were 49 percent more likely to die or have a heart attack or stroke.

The study had some limitations, however. Lin Yang is a researcher at the University of Calgary in Canada. She says it is possible that sitting in front of the TV might be worse than sitting at a desk because people snack while they are watching TV. Some people simply stay up too late and do not get enough sleep. Eating treats or lack of sleep could both cause weight gain and increase risk factors for heart disease. These factors could make people more likely to die early, she added.

Arch Mainous, a researcher at the University of Florida in Gainesville, said in an email that it would be a mistake for people with desk jobs to think there is no need to get moving during the work day. Take the stairs rather than the elevator, or take a walk at lunch, Mainous advised. “Leisure time physical activity is definitely beneficial, but walking on some more steps in the workday should also be encouraged.”

【1】What can we learn about Jeanette Garcia’s study?

A．Not all forms of sitting are equally bad for health.

B．Reducing time spent sitting is an effective way to improve health.

C．49% of those who spent more than four hours watching TV daily were unhealthy.

D．It’s the first study ever indicating the relationship between health problems and sitting.

【2】Which of the following may Lin Yang agree with?

A．Sitting in front of the TV is not that harmful.

B．People may as well avoid doing jobs at a desk.

C．Health risks have nothing to do with TV viewing.

D．Snacks and lack of sleep may be to blame for early death.

【3】As Arch Mainous suggested, what should an office worker do?

A．Take the elevator to save time.

B．Participate in more activities.

C．Get moving during the workday.

D．Take a walk to lose weight.

【4】What is this text most likely from?

A．A poster.

B．A textbook.

C．A guidebook.

D．A magazine.
