21、   A UPS (United Parcel Service) driver Ryan Arens was making his rounds near a pond in Bozeman, Montana, when he heard a sound. “Like a cry for help,” he told the Dodo. It was December 2019, and about 15 feet from the frozen banks was the source of that cry-a struggling dog with half of its body underwater, trying to stick to a thin layer of ice. How she got there no one knows, but an elderly man was already on the scene, determined to save her. He’d entered the pond in a rowboat and was trying hard to cut the ice with a rock to create a path to the dog. It was slowly going, and Arens,44, thought he stood a better chance.

“Animals are my weakness,” he told the Great Falls Tribune, explaining why he took off his clothes without hesitation, even though the temperature was in the 30s, and took over the rowboat.

His heart beating wildly, Arens slid closer to the dog and used the other man’s rock to smash away at the ice. He gave one too strong hit and slipped off the boat, falling into 16 feet of icy water.

He resurfaced in time to see the dog going under. Using nervous energy to keep warm, he swam about five feet toward her, took hold of her collar, and pulled her to the ice. He then lifted the dog into the boat and slid it back to the shore, where anxious bystanders carried the dog to the home of the elderly man, a retired animal doctor. Once in the house himself, Arens jumped into a warm shower with the dog until they both felt warm. A few more minutes in the pond，the doctor told Arens, and she would have likely suffered cardiac arrest(心脏骤停).

The next day, Arens was back working in the same neighborhood when the dog’s owner came over to thank him for saving Sadie. “Would you like to meet her?” he asked. He opened the door to his pickup, and immediately out raced Sadie. She went straight to Arens, leaping on him and bathing him in wet kisses. “That special delivery”，says Arens, “was the highlight of my UPS career.”

【1】What happened to the dog?

A.It lost its way home. B.It was caught in an accident.

C.It fell into a pond. D.It was trapped in a truck.

【2】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 tell us?

A.He can’t help helping animals in trouble B.Dogs are too weak to stand the cold.

C.He is good at raising weak animals. D.He is too weak to save the dog.

【3】What was the weather like when it happened?

A.Warm B.Cold C.Cool D.Hot.

【4】Who saved the dog in the end?

A.The animal doctor. B.Ryan Arens

C.A bystander. D.A reporter.

【5】What can we conclude from the end of the story?

A.Sadie went to live with the person who saved her.

B.The dog owner was not a responsible master.

C.Dogs should be kept indoors in cold weather.

D.Arens was proud of what he had done.

22、   He lived his whole life as a poor man.His art and talent were recognized by almost no one.He suffered from a mental illness that led him to cut off part of his left ear in 1888 and to shoot himself two years later.But after his death, he achieved world fame.Today, Dutch artist Van Gogh is recognized as one of the leading artists of all time.

Now,150 years after his birth on March 30,1853, Zundert, the town of his birth，has made 2003 “The Van Gogh Year” in his honor.And the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam，home to the biggest collection of his masterpieces, is marking the anniversary with exhibitions throughout the year.The museum draws around 1．3 million visitors every year.Some people enjoy the art and then learn about his life.Others are interested in his life, which then helps them understand his art.

Van Gogh was the son of a pastor.He left school when he was just 15．By the age of 27, he had already tried many jobs including an art gallery salesman and a French teacher.Finally in 1880, he decided to begin his studies in art.

Van Gogh is famed for his ability to put his own emotions into his paintings and show his feelings about a scene.His style is marked by short, broad brush strokes (绘画笔法).“Instead of trying to reproduce exactly what I have before my eyes, I use color more freely, in order to express myself more forcibly，” he wrote in a letter to his brother in 1888．

Van Gogh sold only one painting during his short life.He relied heavily on support from his brother, an art dealer who lived in Paris.But now his works are sold for millions of dollars.His portrait of Dr.Gacher sold for $89．5 million in 1990．It is the highest price ever paid for a painting.“I think his paintings are powerful and the brilliant color in them are attractive to people，” said a Van Gogh’s fan.

【1】All through his life Van Gogh  ________.

A．depended on his brother

23、   This new Forever stamp from the U.S. Postal Service honors Dr. Chien-Shiung Wu(1912-1997), one of the most influential nuclear physicists of the 20th century.

The stamp art features a detailed portrait of Wu, wearing a black-and-white traditional Chinese dress known as qipao. The background was painted with an ancient, highly valued color historically used in artistic depictions of angels and nobleness.

During a career of more than 40 years in a field dominated(主宰) by men, Wu proved herself as the expert on marking research to test fundamental(基础的) theories of physics.

In 1944, Wu accepted a position under the Division of War Research at Columbia University working for the Manhattan project. Carrying out highly secret research for the production of the world's first atomic bomb, Wu made invaluable contributions to the experimental process of using the uranium atom(铀原子).

After the war ended, Wu stayed on at Columbia as a research professor, focusing her experimentation on beta decay(β衰变). With imagination and careful research, she created a more precise spectrometer(分光器) to finally explain the problem of beta decay, one that had troubled physicists in America and across Europe for many years.

In 1956, theoretical physicists Tsung-Dao Lee and Chen-Ning Yang approached Wu for help in developing a theory that challenged the foundational law of conservation of parity(宇称守恒定律). Wu created a thoughtful and difficult experiment to test the theory. She observed that, in weak interactions(弱相互作用), parity is not conserved-a finding that helped the two lead physicists earn the Nobel Prize in Physics.

Art director Ethel Kessler designed the stamp with original art by Kam Mak.

The Chien-Shiung Wu stamp is being issued(发行) as a Forever stamp. This Forever stamp will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail one-ounce price.

【1】What do we know about Chien-Shiung Wu from this article?

A．She liked wearing Chinese clothes.

B．She worked for the first atomic bomb.

C．She won the Nobel Prize in Physics.

D．She was the best female scientist in physics.

【2】How can we describe Chien-Shiung Wu's research?

A．Focused

B．Independent.

C．Rough

D．Part-time

【3】Why does the new stamp honor Dr Chien-Shiung Wu?

A．She was a Chinese American.

B．She always helped other physicists.

C．She was a female scientist in the man-dominated field.

D．She contributed much to many theories of physics.

【4】What is the purpose of this article?

A．To praise a scientist.

B．To introduce a new stamp.

C．To talk about a science research.

D．To discuss the art of stamps.

24、Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

Can Whales And Dolphins Fight Cancer?

Whales and dolphins have been shown to be better at fighting cancer than we are, and now we may be closer to understanding why cetaceans (鲸目动物)do it. Cetaceans are generally the oldest living mammals, and some cetaceans have reached their 200th birthday. Their size means their bodies contain far more cells than the human body. 【1】

“If you have more cells that means that one of those cells has an increased risk of becoming cancerous.” says Daniela Tejada-Martinez at the Austral University of Chile. “So, if you are big or live longer, you have thousands and millions of cells that could become harmful.” 【2】

“There’s a joke that whales should be born with cancer and not even able to exist because they’re just too big,” says Vincent Lynch at the University at Buffalo, New York, he says there is a super trivial explanation for how whales can exist. “They just evolved better cancer protection mechanisms,” he says. 【3】

Now, Tejada-Martinez and her colleagues have studied the evolution of 1077 tumor suppressor (肿瘤抑制)genes (TSGs). In all, they compared the evolution of the genes in 15 mammalian species, including seven cetacean species. Genes regulating DNA damage, tumor spread and the immune system were positively selected among the cetaceans. 【4】 “It’s not like we’re gonna be taking whale genes and putting them into humans and making humans cancer resistant,” says Lynch. “But if you can find the genes that play a role in tumor suppression in other animals, and if you can figure out what they’re doing, maybe you can make a drug that can be used to treat people.”

A．They also found cetaceans gained and lost TSGs at a rate 2.4 times higher than in other mammals.

B．If the whale gene was injected into the human body, could humans fight cancer?

C．Some people deny that cetaceans can increase TSGs faster than other mammals.

D．Why this happens remains a mystery.

E．In contrast, cetaceans have much lower cancer rates than most other mammals.

F．But we still need to learn more about why and how they did this.

25、Machines or learning

The classic model of education—a burst at the start and top-ups through company training—is _________. One reason is the need for new, and constantly updated, skills. Manufacturing _________ calls for brain work rather than metal-bashing. The _________ of the American workforce employed in routine office jobs declined from 25.5% to 21% between 1996 and 2015. The single, stable career has gone the way of the Rolodex.

Pushing people into ever-higher levels of _________ education at the start of their lives is not the way to cope. Just 16% of Americans think that a four-year college degree ___________ students very well for a good job. Although a vocational education promises that vital first hire, those with _________ training tend to withdraw from the labour force earlier than those with general education—perhaps because they are less _________.

At the same time on-the-job training is _________. In America and Britain it has fallen by roughly half in the past two decades. Self-employment is spreading, leaving more people to take responsibility for their own skills. Taking time out later in life to _________ a formal qualification is an option, but it costs money and most colleges are geared towards youngsters.

The market is __________ to enable workers to learn and earn in new ways. Providers from General Assembly to Pluralsight are building businesses on the __________ of boosting and rebooting careers. Massive open online courses (MOOCs) have veered away from lectures on Plato or black holes in favor of courses that make their students more employable. At Udacity and Coursera self-improvers pay for cheap, short programs that bestow “microcredentials” and “nanodegrees” in, say, self-driving cars or the Android operating system. By offering degrees online, universities are __________ it easier for professionals to burnish their skills. A single master’s programme from Georgia Tech could expand the annual output of computer-science master’s degrees in America by close to 10%.

Such efforts demonstrate how to interleave careers and learning. But left to its own devices, this nascent market will mainly serve those who already have __________. It is easier to learn later in life if you enjoyed the classroom first time around: about 80% of the learners on Coursera already have degrees. Online learning requires some IT literacy, yet one in four adults in the OECD has no or limited __________ of computers. Skills atrophy unless they are used, but many low-end jobs give workers little __________ to practice them.
