21、W e all love bank holidays. In the UK, we only get eight bank holidays in one year, and at least five of those occur around Christmas time and Easter time! A bank holiday is a British English term. This is an official day that is decided by the government, when banks, shops and offices close for the day even though it’s a weekday—usually a Monday, and a lot of people have a day off work.
Bank holidays are different in Colombia—firstly, they are called “festivos”. There are twenty festivos for the whole country in one year! In Britain ,people get more holiday allowance(津贴)than Colombians but fewer bank holidays. There can be even more festivos in Colombia, depending on which region of Colombia you live in. This is because different regions have their own holidays. For example, some regions have a patron saint(守护神) in their region, so they have an extra festivo to celebrate that saint.
However, there are some days that are national holidays for historical reasons. There is an Independence Day celebration on July 20 every year. This is just like Bastille Day in France on July 14, or Independence Day in the United States on July 4. Other important festivos in Colombia are :Labour Day, on May 1, and Columbus Day on October 12. Columbus Day is a historical bank holiday that almost every county on the continent of America celebrates. This includes Colombia, Chile, Peru, Argentina, Mexico and the United States. It is a memorialization of the day that the Italian sailor, Christopher Columbus, first reached land on the continent in the year 1492. Many people criticize this day and say it is not something to celebrate because of the way Columbus and his teams treated the people that were already living there.
【1】What is a “bank holida” according to the text?
A. An official nationwide vacation.
B. A holiday only for the bank staff.
C. A British traditional religion festival.
D. A celebration for Christmas and Easter.

A. Colombia and Britain have the same number of festivos.
B. All Colombians have the same number of festivos.
C. Colombians have less holiday allowance than British people.
D. People in most regions celebrate a patron saint.
【3】Why do many Americans refuse to celebrate Columbus Day ?
A. Because Columbus wasn’t an American at all.
B. Because Columbus once treated the locals badly.
C. Because it wasn’t Columbus that found America first.
D. Because Columbus didn’t live in the continent of America.
【4】What is the text mainly about?

23、Blood donations save lives. But blood can only be stored under refrigeration for up to six weeks. After that, it’s no longer usable for transfusions. Because of that limitation, people have to continually donate blood to meet the needs.
Jonathan Kopechek, a bioengineer from University of Louisville says suspension to regular blood donations due to COVID-19 has put stress on the blood supply, and the pandemic underscores the need for more reliable long-term storage methods.
Good news is that Kopechek’s team has developed a method of preserving blood so it can be stored in a dehydrated(脱水的) state at room temperature. To do so, they turned to a sugar called trehalose(海藻糖), which is a common ingredient in donuts(甜甜圈). Trehalose is intended to help make them look fresh even when they are months old, and you wouldn’t know the difference.
The researchers chose trehalose because, in nature, it’s made by animals like sea monkeys—famous for their ability to survive dehydration. “So these animals can dry out completely for a long time and then be rehydrated and resume normal function. So we wanted to use the trehalose produced by these organisms and apply that to preserving blood cells in a dried state.”
But first, the researchers had to get trehalose into blood cells. To achieve this, they drilled temporary holes in the cell membranes(细胞膜). And they need to have sufficient trehalose on both the inside and the outside of the cell in order to survive the dehydration and rehydration process. At that point, the blood could be dried and made into a powder. “And then we can rehydrate the blood and have it return back to normal.”
Kopechek said the technique could be ready for clinical trials in three to five years. If successful, it could be used to create stores of dried blood in case of future pandemics or natural disasters—and for humanitarian aid work, military operations or even missions to Mars. Maybe first aid kits on Mars will include dried red blood cells.
【1】Which has the closest meaning with the underlined word in Paragraph 2?
A.Satisfy.
B.Decrease.
C.Highlight.
D.Influence.
【2】What can we learn about trehalose?
A.It can only be found in sea monkeys.
B.It should be preserved in a dried state.
C.It helps to keep donuts fresh and tasty.
D.It contributes to long-term blood storage.
【3】Which is the correct order of storing blood with trehalose?
①Drying blood and making it into a powder. ② Getting trehalose into blood cells.
③Rehydrating the blood. ④ Drilling holes in the cell surface.
A.④②①③
B.④①②③
C.②④①③
D.②③④①
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A.Dried blood has a promising prospect.
B.Trehalose could help stored blood last.
C.The need for stored blood is on the rise.
D.Storing blood longer is very challenging.
24、 With all the wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, it's not only necessary, but also essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us get through each and every day of our lives. Putting a smile on someone's face when you know they are feeling down in the dump, makes me feel good and warms my heart.
How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co- workers, neighbors, close friends, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store? I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I don't know the person I'm joking around with. My Grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is common courtesy(礼貌) to speak to others that are around you.
I know of a few people that don't have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their face. They don't get the joke that makes others laugh. I am busting a gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke?
Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control. Without humor we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy. There is too much sadness in this present world. It drives people crazy. We all need to find a way to ignore the sadness and bring a little light into our lives. So,I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.
【1】From the second paragraph, we can know that ________.
A.the author used to be polite
B.the author's grandma is humorous
C.we should relieve stress in any situation
D.family members should play tricks on each other
【2】The underlined phrase 'busting a gut' in the Paragraph 3 can be replaced by '________'.
A.explaining carefully B.speaking loud
C.keeping silent D.laughing hard
【3】By writing the passage, the author mainly intends to ________.
A.talk about his own understanding of humor
B.encourage people to be humorous in daily life
C.introduce a practical way to get through daily life
D.convince people of the power of being optimistic about life
