21、   Latest research provides some good news for those who hope to someday live in a world where women coders and surgeons are as plentiful as their male workmates: Today s elementary school girls are actually more interested in pursuing a STEM（science, tech, engineering, math）career than their male classmates are.

What’s more, while young boys’ ideal jobs have stayed relatively unfluctuating over the past 20 years of the century, young girls’ career dreams have grown more ambitious. Back in 1998, a study found that 11-year-old boys were most interested in becoming an athlete, a service member, or an engineer. Now, a new survey of children 10 and younger found that boys` career dreams have stayed relatively stable. In this study, girls said they aspired（渴望）to be teachers, nurses and hairdressers.

Also notable: Overall, girls are more likely to say they are interested in a STEM job than their male workmates. Indeed, 41% of girls express interest in technical careers, vs. 32% of boys.

"Yet while girls’ increased interest in scientific careers is clearly something to celebrate, there is still progress to be made to make it a reality," said Simon Isaacs, a researcher. "We can celebrate the girls’ focus on STEM, but if we look at children aged 1 through 10 right now, we still have a long way to go with regard to getting girls involved in engineering, computer programming and other tech fields." Other recent studies have similarly found that despite their great interest in STEM careers, most American girls believe they are relatively unlikely to end up in a job that requires computer science or engineering skills simply because they don’t think these jobs belong to girls. "Even as we talk about being a generation that is growing up more gender-non-conformist（无性别意识的）than any other generation, we aren`t necessarily seeing that translate into what kids want to be," said Isaacs.

Isaacs said that he decided to pursue this research to better understand how today’s culture of role models—who are as diverse as Mark Zuckerberg and Malala Yousafzai—are hugely shaping the next generation of students’ career ambitions.

"What we find at the elementary level is that kids are often basing their aspirations on whatever they’ve been exposed to in the media," said Tony Wagner, an expert. Wagner says that gender standards described in the media have begun to change, specifically with regard to female characters in medicine and science. Wagner has found that girls are more interested in careers that are described as having a direct human connection, like medicine and education. "What they don’t understand is that much of engineering and other STEM work, is profoundly human-centered. The problem lies in how it’s taught," he said.

22、It’s a simple yet effective message that appeals, and leads to a satisfying way of motivating us to promote environmentalism in our own way.

Born in Nairobi, Lesein Mutunkei is in his late teens, and his Trees4Goals is the means with which he intends to make the world greener. It unites two of his self-declared passions in life: love of the outdoors, with his love of football. Lesein enjoyed walking in the forest, but recognised his country was experiencing a serious loss of tree cover. Between 2001 and 2020, Kenya lost an estimated 11% of trees, releasing as many as 176 million tons of CO2.

In a blog post for WWF Kenya, Lesein revealed that, once he started the Trees4Goals initiative, he originally planned to plant one tree per goal. By 2020, he wanted to take his efforts even further. What started as one tree planted per goal mushroomed into 11 trees planted per goal. Explaining the reasoning behind expanding the tree-planting, he said, “It represents team effort in football and the contribution by my team. I have managed to hit the 1, 000th tree milestone in the last two years.”

While it’s something of an own goal to destroy the forests and jungles providing enormous biodiversity, innovative initiatives like Trees4Goals are an assured way to score an environmentalist hat-trick. Football is popular. It cuts through cultural barriers irrespective of the country it is played in. By increasing the trees planted per goal, with more such initiatives springing up, even more will be grown.

Like a seed, best ideas start small and change into something that can become far larger than anticipated. While Lesein continues planting 11 trees per goal, Kenyan government is aiming to ensure the planting of 1. 8 billion trees to reach 10% forest coverage. The science behind is clear: if 900 million hectares are devoted to half a trillion trees, the world can offset(抵消)half of all carbon released since 1960.

【1】What gave Lesein the idea of launching the project?

A．Release of too much CO2.

B．Dream of motivating others.

C．Passion for sports and nature.

D．Habit of exercising in the woods.

【2】What did Lesein do in 2020?

A．He created a blog for WWF.

B．He multiplied his commitment.

C．He planted one tree for each goal.

D．He extended his work to other teams.

【3】What do the underlined words “own goal” in paragraph 4 refer to?

A．Aim that is intended to achieve.

B．Action that harms one’s own interests.

C．Pursuit toward which effort is directed.

D．Goal that is scored for the opposing team.

【4】What can we learn from Lesein’s story?

A．United, we win.

B．No pains, no gains.

C．Love me, love my dog.

D．Small deeds, big difference.

23、There is no way they just drove into that water, thought Corion Evans. The 16-year-old was hanging out in a parking area underneath a Moss Point, Mississippi, highway in July when a car with three teenage girls inside rushed off a boat ramp and into the Pascagoula River. It came to rest some 20 feet from land, then sank. The driver, Evans would learn, had blindly followed wrong directions from her GPS.

It was around 2:30 a. m. by the time Evans got to the river’s edge. In the darkness, he could barely make out the girls clinging to the roof, the only part of the car still, barely, above water. But he could hear screaming.

Evans ripped off his shirt and shoes, tossed his phone down, then dived into the water, a river he knew alligators (鳄鱼) called home. He helped the first girl he saw and, keeping her head above water, led her ashore.

Just then, a man called out. Police Officer Garry Mercer had arrived. He dived into the river to help another of the girls. But halfway back to shore, she panicked and went underwater, pulling Mercer down with her.

Evans jumped back into the water and helped them until they could stand. “If he hadn’t been there, who knows?” Mercer told the Washington Post.

There was still one girl in the water. Cora Watson, 19, could not swim. She was gulping water, struggling to stay afloat. And scared.

“I heard Cora screaming ‘Help!’and I thought she was going to the dogs,” Caleb told WLOX in Biloxi.

“I just knew my last breath was coming,” Watson said. “My mind said, You’re slowly losing yourself.” She began to go under. Then, a jolt. “Corion had grabbed me.”

The three girls and Officer Mercer were taken to the hospital and released. They’re alive because Corion Evans risked his life to save them. They’re alive, says his mother, Marquita Evans, because Corion Evans broke his curfew.

But she’s not mad, she told the Post. “He had a good reason.”

【1】According to paragraph 1, what can we know about the accident?

A．The three teenage girls were about to hang out when they dropped into the river.

B．The wrong navigation confused the driver and caused the accident.

C．The car drove about 20 feet from the land and stopped on the water.

D．The car crashed into the river while driving on a Moss Point, Mississippi, highway.

A．During the rescue, some alligators attacked them.

B．Evans saved the lives of the three girls and Officer Mercer.

C．The first two rescued girls can swim.

D．Seeing three girls who fell into the water, Evans called the police.

【3】What is the meaning of the word underlined in paragraph 7?

A．Dying.

B．Dangerous.

C．Awkward.

D．Nervous.

【4】What is Evans’ mother’s attitude towards this matter?

A．Indifferent.

B．Critical.

C．Proud.

D．Angry.

24、Often, when you buy a computer, the laptop（手提电脑）bag is overlooked, but it is one of the most valuable things a computer owner can have. Most choose a laptop simply because they want to be able to transport it from place to place. 【1】 The bag not only protects the computer from dirt or damage, it can also be used to carry other laptop parts, such as spare batteries, a computer mouse and any portable equipment you may have.

The first thing to consider when choosing the best laptop bag is what style of bag you may want. The most common styles are the briefcase（公文包）and the backpack. 【2】The briefcase gives a sense of professionalism while the backpack may be easier to carry much of the time.

A laptop bag should have both a computer sleeve along with several separate sections. The sleeve helps keep the laptop from moving too much in the bag. The sections are good for storage of documents and other things you may want to transport along with the computer; 【3】

Another thing when you buy a laptop bag is making sure it is strongly sewed and has a solid bottom. These two things will make your bag much stronger, especially if it is the backpack style.【4】 In some cases, it may just be a few months before a computer owner needs a new one. However if made properly, laptop bags can last five or more years.

【5】 Buying a cloth bag may be a cheaper option, but leather bags are generally made better and are able to stand up to use much better Besides, leather offers a natural barrier to water when the computer is transported through rain or snow.

A．Obviously the former is more important, though.

B．Each one has their own advantages as laptop bags.

C．Materials also make a difference, especially in the briefcase style.

D．But without a good laptop bag, that becomes much more difficult

E．There are lots of choices when it comes to choosing the best laptop bag.

F．This will prevent them rubbing up against the computer and scratching it.

G．Choosing a cheap bag without these could greatly reduce the life of the bag..
