21、At first glance, l5-year-old Kenan Pala seems like a typical high school student. He runs cross-country and plays video games with his friends. But he founded Kids4Community, a San Diego-based nonprofit organization that offers volunteer projects and encourages kids to participate, when he was just 12 years old.

The idea for Kids4Community came out of his family’s experience. Pala’s parents came to the US from Turkey in 1998 and founded Confirm BioSciences, a company that produces and delivers drug-testing kits. Their journey was filled with hardship, but the kindness of others, in the forms of both emotional and financial support, left an unforgettable mark.

“We started with very little money in our journey here, but we got so much help along the way and we’ve always felt very grateful,” said Zeynep Ilgaz, Pala’s mother. “If it wasn’t for the help we got along the way, we would not be here today where we are.” The Palas wanted to instill (灌输) this lesson in their children, so they encouraged them to give back to the community. Pala said, “My parents really wanted me to understand how lucky I was to have the life I had and they did that in having me give back while I was growing up.”

Pala’s organization aims to boost young people’s involvement in community efforts because many organizations don’t let children volunteer. Now， Kids4Community regularly organizes initiatives (新方案) to help people who are homeless, including the dinner service at homeless shelters and this year’ s Christmas gift bag drive. In addition to meeting physical needs, the initiatives are designed to give people a sense of dignity and hope.

【1】In which aspect is Kenan Pala different from those of his age group?

A．His interest in outdoor sports.

B．His ambition to be a volunteer.

C．His passion for the nonprofit cause.

D．His talent for playing video games.

【2】What inspired Kenan Pala to set up Kids4Community?

A．The requirement from his high school.

B．The suggestion from his online friends.

C．The success of his family’s company.

D．The family move from Turkey to the US.

【3】Which of the following can best describe Kenan Pala?

A．Thankful.

B．Generous.

C．Self-centred.

D．Traditional.

【4】In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?

A．Health.

B．Entertainment.

C．People.

D．Culture.

23、It is believed that human story begins in Africa and ends about 200,000 years later with their seven billion descendants (后代) spread across the Earth, living in peace or at war, their faces lit by campfires and computer screens.

In between is an exciting tale of survival, movement, isolation, and conquest, most of it occurring before recorded history. Who were those first modern people in Africa? What routes did they take when they left their home continent 60,000 years ago to expand into Europe and Asia? When and how did humans reach the Americas? For decades, the only proof was found in a small number of scattered bones and artifacts that our ancestors left behind on their journeys. In the past 20 years, however, DNA technologies have allowed scientists to find a record of ancient human migrations in the DNA of living people.

“Every drop of human blood contains a history book written in the language of our genes,” says population geneticist Spencer Wells. The human genetic code, or genome, is 99.9 percent identical throughout the world. But while the bulk of our DNA is the same, what’s left is responsible for our individual differences — in eye color or disease risk, for example. On very rare occasions, a small change, called a mutation, can occur, which is then passed down to all of that person’s descendants. Generations later, finding that same mutation in two people's DNA indicates that they share the same ancestor. By comparing mutations in many different populations, scientists can trace their ancestral connections.

These ancient mutations are easiest to track in two places: in DNA that is passed from mother to child (called mitochondrial DNA, or mtDNA for short), and in DNA that travels from father to son (known as the Y chromosome, the part of DNA that determines a child will be a boy). By comparing the mtDNA and Y chromosomes (染色体) of people from various populations, geneticists can get a rough idea of where and when those groups separated in the great migrations around the planet.

【1】The best title for this reading could be ________.

A．Exploring human history

B．Finding DNA differences

C．Making a biology experiment

D．Discovering ancestry in DNA

【2】What can we infer from the quote of Spencer Wells in Paragraph 3?

A．A drop of blood contains genetic information that can tell a person’s ancestral history.

B．The organization of information in a history book is similar to the organization of DNA within a gene.

C．Every drop of blood contains enough DNA information to fill many history books.

D．Although people speak different languages, all human blood contains the same language.

【3】The underlined word “bulk” in Paragraph 3 most probably means ________.

A．the large size

B．the main part

C．the weight or shape

D．the quantity

【4】Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the reading?

A．The earliest people are said to originate from Africa and spread across the world.

B．Scientists have found ways to determine whether people share the same ancestor.

C．Human DNA remains the same as what is passed down from their ancestors.

D．Comparing mtDNA and Y chromosomes can help identify human migrations.

24、Facts about novel corona virus: Prevention and control

l Keep distance with people when talking

The novel corona virus can be transmitted via droplets and fly 1 to 2 meters in the air before falling to the ground. Droplets can be transmitted far longer when sneezing and coughing than speaking, so apart from keeping 1 to 2 meters of distance, also remember to wear a mask when you are close to someone else.

l Washing hands can reduce risk of getting infected

Please wash your hands promptly and properly after touching elevator buttons or using cash. Do not touch your nose or mouth or rub your eyes before washing your hands. Do not use smart phones while eating.

l Receiving delivered packages at home not dangerous

Though the virus might be attached to the packaging of delivered items, the possibility of transmission through express delivery is extremely low. Before going out to take your delivery, remember to wear a mask. After removing the packaging, please wash your hands.

l Sun exposure cannot kill the virus

The temperature of sun light cannot reach 56℃, and the ultraviolet rays in sunlight cannot reach the intensity of ultraviolet lamps, so the virus can’t be killed by the sunlight. If you want to go out to get some sun, please wear a mask and take other protective measures.

l Taking a hot bath or using air conditioning cannot kill the virus

Although the virus is vulnerable to heat. It can only be inactivated after exposure to a 56°C temperature for over 30 minutes.

l Woolen fabric doesn’t retain virus longer

It is believed that the virus prefers smooth, non-porous surfaces and stays on woolen fabrics for a shorter time. At home or before going out, it is not necessary to consider which kind of material has less chance to absorb the virus—choosing comfortable clothes is enough.

After returning home, please wash your hands, sterilize the clothes and dry the clothes.

【1】What are you suggested to do when taking delivered packages?

A.Wear a mask.

B.Take a hot bath.

C.Open packages.

D.Dry the clothes.

【2】According to the passage, the following sentences are right EXCEPT that _____.

A.the virus is vulnerable to heat

B.the virus can be transmitted via droplets

C.the virus prefers smooth, non-porous surfaces

D. the virus cannot be killed by the ultraviolet rays

【3】We can probably read this passage from _____.

A.a textbook

B.an advertisement

C.a travel brochure

D.a science magazine
