21、Local barber (理发师) goes above and beyond for a little boy

“That day started all wrong,” LaQuista Erinna said. “And we forgot his headphones. We were running late, traffic was horrible, so I knew it was going to be difficult that day.”

When Erinna and her son finally arrived at their appointment, it seemed like there was no way 6-year-old Jackson, a boy with autism (自闭症), would be getting his hair cut.

“He just immediately got anxious,” Erinna explained. “Usually I have to do some coaching to get him in the chair. He will put on his headphones, and we power through.”

Erinna said Jackson is a typical little boy who loves to play and loves art. But some tasks can be sensory overload, and haircuts are one of them.

The stress was so intense for mom and son that almost two years went by before Jackson got another haircut. But this time, he was in the hands of Ree, the barber, and things were getting easier.

Ree noticed his Super Mario Bros shirt and told him that he needed to save Mario by making sure no hair got on him. She cut his hair while he moved and ran around the shop. She talked to him throughout the entire process, encouraging him and reminding him about protecting Mario to keep him engaged.

“It just touched me so much,” Erinna said: “She nurtured that relationship. She gained his trust.”

“I feel good I can go above and beyond for a child,” Ree said. “I know children want to be free.They want to express themselves so I try to find a different strategy to make them feel comfortable”

Jackson’s smile told the rest of the story.

Erinna was very moved by her son’s haircut. She shared a video online, which has gotten millions of views. Given the huge response, Erinna also set up a special GoFundMe to support Ree to make sure she’s able to continue to work and replace any lost income from the impact of the pandemic (流行病).

【1】What usually helped to calm Jackson during haircuts?

A．His mother’s trust.

B．His art books.

C．His barber’s encouragement.

D．His headphones

【2】How did Ree succeed in cutting Jackson’s hair?

A．By inspiring him to be brave

B．By cooperating with his mother.

C．By turning the haircut into a game.

D．By telling stories about Super Mario.

【3】To express thanks to Ree, Erinna ______.

A．raised money to support her

B．advertised her hair cutting skills

C．got haircuts at her shop regularly

D．posted photos of Jackson’s haircut online

【4】Which of the following words can best describe Ree?

A．Kind and honest.

B．Caring and generous.

C．Patient and creative.

D．Confident and friendly.

22、   Riding a bicycle at night is much more dangerous than during the day. At night, motorists can only see what's illuminated (照亮) by their headlights. Bob Mionske, author of Bicycling & the Law says cycling accidents happening at night account for more than 70% of all cycling accidents in the past ten years.【1】 If you still plan to ride a bicycle at night, proper preparation can help keep you safe.

In many states, bicycles ridden at night are required to have a red light on the back and a white headlight. 【2】 The bicycle's headlight should be strong enough to illuminate the road for several feet. For example, when you're cycling at 15 mph, the headlight should allow you to see at least 35 to 50 feet in front of you.

【3】 Cycling clothing with built-in reflective material can be found on gloves, shirts and shorts. Many vest and jacket designs have large areas of reflective material along the arms, chest, back and shoulders.【4】 If you're short of money, you can buy reflective tape, cut it into strips and attach it to your clothes.

Remain in well-lit and familiar streets. Don't take unfamiliar routes if it's not necessary. 【5】.By doing so, you can avoid becoming lost in unfamiliar dark streets.

A．Choose streets that are well-lit.

B．Besides, they'll keep you warm too.

C．Riding a bicycle is a good sport for teenagers.

D．So riding a bicycle at night is really dangerous.

E．Reflectors (反射镜) are usually fixed on a bicycle's wheels.

F．These lights let motorists know which direction you're heading.

G．While lights can keep cyclists safe to some level, night cyclists still need to dress in bright colors.

23、Architecture in Rotterdam

Rotterdam, the second largest city in the Netherlands, offers anything from unique food to wonderful landscapes. However, it’s incredible architecture that makes the city stand out.

Markthal

The building, the scale (规模) of which is impressive, is home to almost 100 fresh food stalls (摊位), shop units, restaurants and over 200 apartments. Opened in 2014, it was built near where Rotterdam was first founded in 1270. Besides delicious food, you shouldn’t miss its large walls and ceiling covered with images of flying fruits, flowers and insects. This artwork, titled Horn of Plenty and created by the artists Arno Coenen and Iris Roskam, is one of the biggest in the world and covers an area of about 11,000 square meters.

Erasmus Bridge

The bridge stretches over the river Maas, connecting the city center with the neighborhood of Kop van Zuid. Named after the city’s famous scholar Desiderius Erasmus, the bridge is 808 meters long and weighs as much as 1,700 adult elephants. The bridge has a nickname—de zwaan (the swan). It does require a bit of imagination to see how this giant piece of steel resembles an actual swan, but if you look at it from above, it becomes a bit clearer.

Museum Boijmans van Beuningen Depot

It was born out of a desire to share artworks with as many people as possible and has gained over 150,000 pieces. Open since the summer of 2021, it has given visitors a unique behind-the-scenes look into the world of art conservation, art restoration and museum management. Most importantly, visitors have free access to the rooftop garden, which offers panoramic (全景的) views of the city.

De Rotterdam

De Rotterdam is a building complex of three interconnected towers. Located on the south side of the city, it has 45 floors. It houses commercial office spaces, residential apartments, cafés, restaurants and luxurious hotels. With a total floor space of about 160,000 square meters, it’s well-known as the largest group of buildings in the Netherlands.

24、   Following the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP), also named COVID—19 by WHO, there is a general fear of the unknown virus as its full effects remain to be seen. Fever, coughing, sore throat, difficulty breathing—the NCP’s symptoms (症状) are similar to the common cold or the flu, but it’s potentially more dangerous.

Viruses could be deadly, like HIV and Ebola (埃博拉). But what are viruses? How can they cause so much trouble?

Viruses are non-living organisms (有机体) approximately one-millionth of an inch long. Unlike human cells or bacteria, they can’t reproduce on their own. Instead, they invade (入侵) the cells of living organisms to reproduce, spread and take over.

Viruses can infect every living thing — from plants and animals down to the smallest bacteria. For this reason, they always have the potential to be dangerous to human life. Sometimes a virus can cause a disease so serious that it is fatal. Other viral infections trigger (引起) no noticeable reaction.

Viruses lie around our environment all of the time, waiting for a host cell to come along. They can enter our bodies by the nose, mouth, eyes or breaks in the skin. Once inside, they try to find a host cell to infect. For example, HIV, which causes AIDS, attacks the T-cells of the immune system.

But the basic question is, where did viruses first come from? Until now, no clear explanation for their origin exists. “Tracing the origins of viruses is difficult,” Ed Rybicki, a virologist at the University of Cape Town in South Africa, told Scientific American, “because viruses don’t leave fossils (化石) and because of the tricks they use to make copies of themselves within the cells they’ve invaded.”

However, there are three main hypotheses (假说) to explain the origin of viruses. First, viruses started as independent organisms, then became parasites (寄生者). Second, viruses evolved from pieces of DNA or RNA that “escaped” from larger organisms. Third, viruses co-evolved with their host cells, which means they existed alongside these cells.

For the time being, these are only theories. The technology and evidence we have today cannot be used to test these theories and identify the most reasonable explanation. Continuing studies may provide us with clearer answers. Or future studies may reveal that the answer is even murkier (含糊不清的) than it now appears.

【1】What can we learn about viruses from the text?

A.Viruses have nothing to do with the common cold.

B.Viruses are really small living organisms.

C.Viruses can’t reproduce unless they find a host cell.

D.Viruses enter our bodies mainly through the mouth, nose and hair.

【2】Which of the following might explain the origin of viruses?

A.They evolved from the fossils of large organisms.

B.They evolved from parasites into independent organisms.

C.They evolved from the T-cells in animals.

D.They evolved along with their host cells.

【3】What can we conclude from the text?

A.Viruses live longer in human host cells than in animals’.

B.Viruses will become more like bacteria as they evolve.

C.It may take a long time to understand the origin of viruses.

D.The author is optimistic about future virus research.

【4】What’s the best title of this passage?

A.The Mystery of Virus Evolution

B.The Invasion of Deadly Viruses.

C.The Reaction of Viral Infection

D.The Future Studies of Viruses

25、   During the winter vacation,I was involved in an image-processing project. My task was to extract（提取）the shape of every cell from a(n)__ of microscope images. It seemed quite straightforward at first,but it turned out to be __.

Since I did not have any experience in image processing,I studied some basic ___on my own and started to use a very popular function library(函数库）called OpenCV. As the time was __,I just learnt to apply techniques without going into the mathematical rationale(原理）。As a result,I didn't complete the task in an efficient way and____lots of time.

Through this project,I got a good __ of the importance of studying the basic knowledge. I will probably ___to spend more time studying the theory before I ___another project. By learning their underlying mechanisms(机制），I will be able to ___the tools to suit my own needs. In this way,1 may achieve___ results.

Another challenge I met was about the brightness setting. When I sketched(勾勒）the __ of the cell by the computer,I first set the brightness value to 50,___that the computer could delete the dark places and extract the shape of the cell___. But it turned out that the standard didn't fit for every image. So 1____the brightness value to 30,but that didn't __ either. It was very hard to find a value that worked for all ____

From this,I began to appreciate human eyes. Our eyes ___the amount of light entering them automatically through a feedback system to achieve the best image representation,but computers are not that __. There is still so much that we don't know about the human body.

26、Summary Writing

Are Emails and Text Messages Destroying the language?

Technology has undoubtedly brought about a revolution in communication. Most people would agree that this has been a positive development. Recently, however, there has been concern over the negative effect that modern methods of communications are having on the English language.

On one hand, the increasing use of e-mails and text message is changing the way we use grammar. By this in mean that certain words are dropped in order to keep message short. In my view, this cannot be avoided. In a text message, for instance, there is neither the time nor the space to write complete sentences. The same applies to e-mails, which are supposed to be a shorter, more direst form of communications. In both cases, the need to be brief often means that the grammar is changed in some way.

On the other hand, it is fashionable nowadays to shorten the spelling of words, particularly in text message. One example of this is when people write ‘CU later’ instead of ‘see you later’. To purists or to it simply shows that the language is changing in much the same way as it has done for centuries.

In my opinion, writing English correctly is not so important as getting the message across. If, for example, you send someone an e-mail or a text message telling them to meet you in a specified place at a certain time, making yourself understood is much more important than your grammar and spelling. As far as I am concerned, we should allow a certain amount of flexibility. Not everyone has a perfect command of the language but that should not stop them from being able to communicate.

To sum up, the effect that e-mails and text messages are having on written English is a significant one. This may , in the future, result in major changes to the language. However, we should not let rules get in the way of communication. After all, isn’t that the reason language was developed in the first place--- so that we could communicate?
