21、   “A lie can travel half way around the world before the truth can put its boots on,” said Mark Twain.【1】

To make matters worse, most young people get news from social media sites where facts are mixed with rumors, half-truths and complete lies. 【2】In the latest PISA, which tested 15-year-olds worldwide on academic subjects, fewer than one in ten of the examinees were reported to be able to distinguish fact from opinion. Another study showed that students at all levels of education could not tell real news from fake news. In one instance, 80 percent thought that a paid advertisement was a real news story.

【3】 They want to influence public opinion either for or against something or someone. It is important, then, for young people to recognize when they are being used and to be skeptical of online information.

Traditional media, such as newspapers and television, are still the more credible source of information.【4】And then editors have the job of making sure those facts are correct. However, if you are getting most of your information online, you have to be your own editor In that case, the first thing to do is to look at the writer of a post. Is this person known to be credible? Does the site where you read the post have a prejudice? 【5】 By doing so, you won’t be fooled into chasing lies.

A.Secondly, you can ignore traditional media.

B.This has led to young people becoming confused.

C.Reporters are professionally trained to look for facts.

D.Fake news is spread by people who have a prejudice.

E.This may be because fake news can easily catch their attention.

F.In today’s Internet world of “fake news”, lies spread even faster than the truth.

G.Next, look for other sources from mainstream media to confirm the information.

22、Space travelers face a number of health risks. Astronauts have reported loss of bones and muscle and some even have developed immune disorders and heart problems. A new study finds that energy-producing new structures in cells might be to blame for many of these problems.

A systems biologist, Afshin Beheshti, who studies how different parts of the body work together, also a member of a team of researchers that want to know how spaceflight might affect cells and tissues, notes, “It’s a basic question.”

The team looked at NASA GeneLab’s collection of data from past space biology experiments and studied cells and tissues from mice and people and compared space travelers with others that had remained on Earth.

“The idea is not only to look at one type of chemical,”Beheshti says. Rather, they wanted to “look at the living system as a whole”. And in doing that, they found a common theme. After some time in space, mitochondria, the energy powerhouses of cells, often didn’t work as well as they should.

Those findings are consistent with samples from NASA’s Twin Study. Before retiring, astronaut Scott Kelly spent nearly a year aboard the International Space Station. His twin, Mark remained on the ground. Afterward, blood samples from the two showed different mitochondrial activities.

For the latest study, Beheshti and his team studied GeneLab data for many types of cells and tissues. Another focus was related to metabolism. That process includes a mix of chemical activities that supports life in cells, organs and the whole body.

Damage to mitochondria may be a common factor in spaceflight health risks, the team now concludes. Finding similar changes in so many astronauts indeed points to some general effect, agrees Michael Snyder, a systems biologist at Stanford University in California, who worked on Scott and Mark Kelly’s Twin Study but was not part of the new analysis. If mitochondria are the cause, dealing with problems of them could help protect future astronauts. Some diseases cause mitochondrial defects(线粒体缺陷). Dealing with such diseases in different ways may help reduce astronauts’ health risks. Future studies could test if existing drugs prevent mitochondrial problems in cells, animals and people on long deep-space travels.

【1】What might cause astronauts to have health problems according to the new study?

A．Temperature difference.

B．Heart cell increase.

C．Cell problems.

D．Tiring work.

【2】Which method did Beheshti’s team employ to do the research?

A．They did all kinds of tests on astronaut Scott Kelly.

B．They referred to some previous data.

C．They followed some astronauts for many years.

D．They observed behaviors of astronauts in person.

【3】What may contribute to the decrease of astronauts’ health risks?

A．Treating the diseases which cause mitochondrial defects.

B．Performing fewer long deep-space travels.

C．Letting new structure in cells grow quickly.

D．Making astronauts eat as healthily as possible.

【4】What’s the main idea of the text?

A．Astronauts face great danger in the space station.

B．Space travels are really dangerous to astronauts’ health.

C．Scientists have found ways to reduce astronauts’ health risks.

D．Space travels may harm health by damaging mitochondria.

23、   It has become a habit for many of us. When you're tired of online shopping, you head to the bathroom to do your best makeup for the perfect selfie(自拍)for Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat or all of the above. When you're ready, you hold up your phone and, in an instant, snap(拍照)。

But have you ever wondered what's behind your burning desire to self-document?Most people would say that this is a way to express themselves and perhaps make them become more confident of themselves. But the moment you upload that picture, it's no longer yours to judge. Instead, you pass on that power to the online world.

While you may think that your growing collection of selfies attracts people, quite the opposite may be true. A recent study was conducted on a total of 238 people in Austria, Germany and Switzerland. 77%of the people surveyed admitted to regularly taking selfies. Interestingly, 82% of people said that they would rather see fewer selfies on social media. In other words, we like taking selfies but seriously dislike looking at other people's selfies online.

This research finds that there is a big difference between how we see our own selfies and how we judge other people's pictures. It suggests that we are comfortable with the selfies we post since we believe they are obviously not serious or vain, but we think everyone else is an egoist(自我主义者)for doing the very same thing. After all, we are able to separate our own selfies from the sea of them online and naturally think that ours are the only authentic ones.

So, the next time you reach for your phone and take a selfie picture, consider this: The people around you may not  need another carefully planned snap of your face. Instead, you might be better off, giving it a break and calling off the selfie photo today. While you're at it, make sure you never post these pictures on social media either.

【1】What is most people's idea on taking their own selfies according to the text?

A.It's a good way to keep others informed of their life.

B.It costs less money than shopping online for makeup.

C.It's a way of self-expression and building confidence.

D.It can help them keep a record of their daily routines.

【2】How do other people feel about our online selfies that we consider attractive?

A.They actually take great interest in them.

B.They envy our life after appreciating them.

C.They are likely unwilling to see them online.

D.They hardly make annoying reviews on them.

【3】Why do we regard others as egoists for taking selfies?

A.They are not serious but vain in nature.

B.We don't think their selfies are authentic.

C.We are too proud to acknowledge others.

D.They hate getting their selfies polished.

【4】What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A.Approaches to resisting taking selfies.

B.Concerns over posting selfies online.

C.Doubts about contradictory thoughts.

D.Suggestions on dealing with selfies.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使其构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Julia Koch began what was only her second year as a firstgrade teacher in a virtual classroom at Edgewood Elementary School. One September afternoon a few weeks into the school year, she received a call from Cynthia Phillips, who was having technical difficulties with her granddaughter’s tools for online learning.

Koch immediately noticed something was wrong with Phillips. They had spoken many times before, but Koch had never heard Phillips sound quite like this. Her words were so jumbled（混乱）that Koch could barely understand her, though she was able to make out that Phillips had fallen four times that day. Koch called her principal, Charlie, who assured her that he would call and check on Phillips himself.

Just like Koch, Charlie could barely understand Phillips. He suspected she might be having a stroke-he recognized the signs from when his own father had suffered one. Meanwhile, Charlie immediately became concerned that Phillips’s two grand children, ages six and eight, were probably home alone with her. Charlie asked his office manager to send an ambulance to the grandmother’s home. Then he called Mathews and Keytria, two deans in the school district, to tell them what was going on. Both of them dropped everything and drove to the family’s home.

When they pulled up less than ten minutes later, the doctors were treating Phillips while the two girls, looking visibly shaken, were outside with a neighbor. The quick response from Koch and Charlie saved Phillips’s life. She arrived at the hospital in time to get treatment and before chronic damage occurred.

注意：续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。

Koch and Charlie rush to the hospital to see Phillips.

Koch and Charlie were excited and proud of Phillips’ words.
