21、   The new president of Harvard University is the son of an Eastern European refugee and Auschwitz (奥斯威辛) survivor — Lawrence S. Bacow. His father worked full time while attending a state college in Detroit at night to earn his degree.

Bacow, the former president of Tufts University, has taken over Harvard at a time when higher education is under attack for being financially out of reach to many Americans. But Bacow said his family’s journey had reflected the power of college education to transform generations and the opportunities that have historically been available in the United States.

“My parents came to this country with almost nothing,” Bacow said. “I wouldn’t be here if this country had not been open to people like my parents at that time. Nor would I if my father hadn’t had the opportunity to get the college education.”

Bacow grew up in Pontiac, Michigan. His father’s family fled anti-Jewish (反犹太的) violence in Minsk, then part of the Soviet Union, before the start of World War II and went to the United States. His mother arrived in Brooklyn at age 19, having survived Auschwitz concentration camp. She was the only Jew from her town to have survived the war. Yet Bacow, who is married with two sons, said that while growing up in Michigan, he had a happy childhood, entering science fairs as a child and building radios like his dad.

Bacow has spent most of his professional career at MIT, Harvard and Tufts. He was a professor of environmental studies at MIT, and later a principal at the university. He led Tufts from 2001 to 2011. At Tufts, Bacow earned a reputation for shaking up a sleepy university that was being overshadowed by its peers in Boston. He is also credited with leading it through both 9/11 and the 2008 financial crisis.

As the Tufts president, Bacow traveled around the country, reaching out to alumni (校友), and he urged his faculty and deans to do the same, in an effort to boost donations to finance Tufts’ academic ambitions. He raised more than $20 million for faculty recruitment, attracting up-and-coming professors by offering junior faculty perks (福利), such as long academic leaves that they couldn’t get elsewhere.

Under Bacow’s leadership, Tufts spent millions on labs and libraries. He also made addresses nationally about the need to make higher education more accessible and affordable to low-income students.

【1】The reason why Bacow appreciates college education is that   .

A. college education is out of reach to many Americans

B. his family changed their fate due to college education

C. few opportunities were available when his father came into the country

D. a college degree helped his mother survive Auschwitz

【2】What can we infer from the passage?

A. The fellow townspeople of Bacow were all killed besides his mother.

B. Bacow’s mother stimulated his interest in science.

C. Bacow’s father was good at working with electronics.

D. Bacow’s father came to the U.S. after World War II broke out.

【3】The underlined word “shaking up” in paragraph 5 probably means   .

A. reactivating B. causing C. damaging D. taking over

【4】What is this passage mainly about?

A. How to be admitted to Harvard University. B. The history of Bacow’s family.

C. The art of Bacow’s leadership in Tufts. D. Bacow’s way to individual success.

Those accustomed to looking through thousands of books in big bookstores may find  Japan’s Morioka Shoten a little strange．That’s because this tiny bookstore that is located in  luxury shopping district of Ginza，in Tokyo offers just one title to its customers．

Opened in May 2015，Morioka Shoten(Japanese for bookstore)is the brainchild of Yoshiyuki Morioka．The experienced bookseller began his career as a bookstore clerk in Tokyo’s Kanda district before branching out to open his own store．It was here while organizing book readings that he realized that customers usually came into the store with one title in mind．Morioka began to wonder if a store could exist by selling many copies of just one single book．In November 2014，he partnered with his two friends，to establish a unique bookstore with the idea‘A Single Room，A Single Book．’

Like its offering，the bookstore is simple．The selections that are picked by Morioka change weekly and vary widely to attract customers with different interests．Recent choices include The True Deceiver，all award-winning Swedish novel by Tove Jansson，Hans Christian Andersen’s Fairy Tales．and a collection of artist Karl Blossfeldt’s photography of plants．Morioka has also displayed books written by famous Japanese authors Mimei Ogawa and ito Akagi．

To highlight his single offering，Morioka often uses clever methods．For example，when selling a book about flowers，he decorated his shop with the ones that had been mentioned in the book．He also encourages featured authors to hold multiple talks and discussions so they can connect with customers．Morioka says his ultimate goal is for the customers to perience being inside a book，not just a bookstore!

Risky as the idea might seem，things appear to be going well．Morioka says he has sold over 2,100 books since he opened it．Things can only get better given that his bookstore is becoming increasingly popular not just among the locals but also visitors from other countries•

23、   Cats don't avoid people who upset their owners, proving they're just as disloyal as we always suspected, a new study confirms. The study will be a blow to enthusiastic cat lovers across the country, as their kitty friends appear to have lived up to their reputation of being aloof and uncaring. But dog owners can cheer that man's best friend still has their back.

Having previously showed that dogs avoided a person who behaved negatively towards their owner, researchers tried the same experiment with cats to see how they reacted. For the study, cats watched as their owner tried unsuccessfully to open a transparent container to take out an object, and then requested help from a person sitting nearby. Some people helped the pet owner and others didn't, before they all offered food to the animals.

In the dog experiment, most dogs preferred not to take food from people who didn't help their owners. But cats weren't phased and showed no preference between helpers and passive bystanders, eating food from whoever offered it.

The study's 'lead author Hitomi Chijiiwa wrote: “One possible reason for domestic cats showing no sign of a negativity bias(偏见) might be that cooperation is not typical of this species. Whereas dogs are known to cooperate with humans and conspecifics(同类) in various real and experimental contexts， the same is not true of cats. Domestic cats originated from a less sociable ancestor than did dogs, and they have not been subjected to artificial selection for cooperation with humans. However,group hunting did not evolve in small cats, because the size of their typical prey items remained unchanged even as cat communities grew bigger."

“Thus,cats can be considered as at least potentially 'social' and 'flexible' in terms of social structure, but not 'cooperative'. The ability to evaluate others based on indirect experiences might be restricted to more cooperative species.”

【1】What does the underlined word “aloof” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A．Distant

B．Aggressive

C．Sensitive

D．Greedy.

【2】How do cats differ from dogs in the experiment?

A．They tend to show no preference for food.

B．They are likely to wait for food without doing anything.

C．They refuse to eat food from those offending their owners.

D．They don't care about food givers' attitude to their owners.

【3】What can we learn about cats from the last two paragraphs?

A．They originated from a less flexible ancestor.

B．They lack the ability to directly evaluate others.

C．They haven't been trained since their domestication.

D．They haven't evolved through cooperation with humans.

【4】How does the author illustrate his idea in the whole passage?

A．By referring to previous findings.

B．By giving examples.

C．By analyzing cause and effect

D．By explaining a concept.

24、Myopia, or nearsightedness, is reaching epidemic proportions. In the U. S., more than 40% of the population were myopic by 2019, up from just 28% in 2000, and estimates suggest that one-third of the world’s population will be nearsighted by the end of the decade.

Myopia can usually be corrected easily with glasses, contact lenses, or surgery, but even still nearsighted people are at a higher risk of glaucoma (青光眼), retinal detachment, and cataracts. The condition’s sheer pervasiveness has made researchers wonder about its causes. Scientists have proposed one of the reasons why the condition has become more common: Young people are spending too much time indoors, according to a report published in Nature.

Studies of twins in the 1960s showed that DNA influences nearsightedness. But information from as far back as 400 years ago indicated that genes weren’t the whole story — the astronomer Johannes Kepler thought his own poor vision resulted from having his nose in a book for so many years. More recent research has supported Kepler’s hypothesis: The rise in myopia syncs up with a stronger emphasis on education. German researchers have also found that students who attended more years of school had a much higher rate of myopia than their less academic peers.

Myopia experts haven’t reached a consensus about exactly how to slow the rising tide of nearsightedness. But one Australian researcher found that kids could maintain healthy vision by spending three hours per day under light levels of 10,000 lux or more. This is about the level experienced by someone under a shady tree, wearing sunglasses, on a bright summer day. For comparison, a well-lit classroom is usually no more than 500 lux. Many researchers agree that kids who spend more time outside will maintain good vision for much longer, plus the physical activity could stave off overweight and improve mood. The work has sparked a number of countries to start public health campaigns designed to get kids outside.

【1】What does the author want to tell us by Kepler’s example?

A．Overlearning might be a cause of myopia.

B．Kepler is passionately fond of reading books.

C．Studies of twins in the 1960s are not accurate.

D．Genes have nothing to do with nearsightedness.

【2】What does the underlined phrase “syncs up with” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．takes charge of

B．gets rid of

C．keeps in step with

D．gets in touch with

【3】What is the purpose of the text?

A．To explain the exact causes of nearsightedness.

B．To report research findings of nearsightedness.

C．To express concern over the rise in nearsightedness.

D．To warn the public of the danger of nearsightedness.

Did you know that 40% of the U.S. population get salary that barely cover the ________ living expenses.

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。

Early in 1999, our family had to drive several hundred miles to Billings, Montana, to visit a hospitalized family member. Between our travel, accommodation, and having given most of our available cash to help our relatives out with expenses, we had very little money with us when we left to return home. It was getting dark when we drove out of Billings.

At first, we didn’t notice that our headlights were dimming(变暗), and that was probably why we missed the exit for the interstate(州际公路) leading home. About 40 miles later, we began to see that nothing along the highway was familiar to us. In 35 more miles, we saw an exit to a town that wasn’t anywhere near where we were supposed to be.

With eight miles to the next exit, we began to realize the headlights were dangerously dim. The car began to make a series of short explosive sounds, which made us feel extremely worried. I had to turn off the lights to keep it running. At the foot of the exit slope, there was a small post office in front of us. The car stopped running completely as we pulled into the parking lot.

I soon determined that there was something wrong with the alternator (发电机). It was 7:00 in the evening and we were in Rosebud, Montana, which was a tiny town with no services. To make things worse, the heavy snow was falling. We needed to find our family a safe place to spend the cold night and find an alternator to fix the car the next morning. Hopelessly, we couldn’t see any other buildings around us, and the rest of the town was nearly a mile away. Even if we walked there, we knew that there was probably no hotel or parts store.
