Americans are now allowed to get a COVID-19 vaccine (疫苗). But the process in America is not going as smoothly as some had hoped. Many people are still facing a wait for their first shot. Moreover, the vaccines aren't available to kids under 16 yet. That's because scientists have only tested if the vaccine works in adults.
The good news is that there are two companies, Moderna and Pfizer, making COVID-19 vaccines. They are now running clinical trials (临床实验)to test their vaccines in teens and kids. Volunteers are given a treatment plan and then evaluated after.
Clinical trials are designed with safety in mind and usually done in adults first. They work like this: volunteers get placed into one of two groups. One group receives the vaccine. The other group gets a placebo. This is a shot given in the same way as the vaccine but with no effect. Scientists can compare the effects of the real vaccine against the placebo to see if the vaccine works. Researchers want to know everything that a person experiences when they get the shot, so they can detect any harmful effects. If anything did happen, the trial would stop immediately.
Some teens are eager to volunteer because they want to help people. Maybe you're the right age to be part of a clinical trial for the COVID-19 vaccine. Why not volunteer For A Vaccine Trial Interested kids should read about the trials because every trial has risks. They should talk to their doctor and weigh the benefits and risks. Every vaccine has rare side effects in a few patients.
If you want to participate in a trial, you can try to sign up online by just clicking here, clinical trials gov. which lists every clinical trial in the US, including COVID-19 vaccine trials.
4. Why kids under 16 can't get a COVID-19 vaccine
A. Because the vaccine is too hard to get.
B. Because the vaccine is too expensive for them.
C. Because they are not at the risk of getting COVID-19.
D. Because the effectiveness of the vaccine for kids hasn't been tested .
5. How do the clinical trials work
A. One group receives the vaccine and the other group gets a substance to comfort patients.
B. One group receives the vaccine and the other group gets a pill to treat patients.
C. One group receives the vaccine and the other group gets a prize to award patients.
D. One group receives the vaccine and the other group gets a way to cure patients.
6. What's the purpose of this article
A. To tell American adults they can get a COVID-19 vaccine.
B. To inform that American children can't get a COVID-19 vaccine.
C. To give information about clinical trials of vaccines in teens and kids.
D. To provide information for potential volunteers on trials.

细节理解题。根据第二段“They work like this: volunteers get placed into one of two groups. One group receives the vaccine. The other group gets a placebo.( 他们是这样工作的:志愿者被分成两组。一组接受疫苗注射。另一组则服用安慰剂。)”可知，临床试验的工作流程是，一组注射疫苗，另一组注射安慰病人的药物。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Maybe you're the right age to be part of a clinical trial for the COVID-19 vaccine. Why not volunteer For A Vaccine Trial ( 也许你的年龄适合参与COVID-19疫苗的临床试验。为什么不自愿参加疫苗试验 )”以及最后一段“If you want to participate in a trial, you can try to sign up online by just clicking here, clinical trials gov. which lists every clinical trial in the US, including COVID-19 vaccine trials.

Mikah Frye, a 9-year-old boy, was walking down the streets with his grandmother discussing Christmas gifts when he saw some homeless people struggling to stay warm in the cold night. Then he was thinking about a way to help the homeless to spend a warm Christmas.
That thought stayed in Mikah Frye’s mind and when he reached home, Mikah informed his parents not to buy the Microsoft XBox gaming device he had asked for earlier. Mikah realized that by not buying the $300 device, he could instead donate over 30 blankets to the homeless. He knew how much it meant to be warm in the cold holiday season.
Three years ago, Mikah and his parents were the ones living in a homeless shelter. Having suffered a financial crisis, they too had lost their house, not knowing where their next meal would come from and sharing a blanket every night. Mikah was six years old then but he remembered what it was like to have to give back that precious blanket every morning.
Reaching out to the emergency shelter programme that looked after them 3 years ago, the family donated 60 blankets in the end, each with a personalized message of hope in Mikah’s handwriting stating: “They gave me a blanket, but I had to leave it. That’s why I want you to have your own blanket. Today, I live in my own house, and someday you will too. Your friend, Mikah.”
The homeless people at the shelter may not have been able to give Mikah a Christmas gift in return but his gesture was noted by the billion dollar company Microsoft who made sure that Mikah was fooled into visiting their store so that Santa Claus could personally deliver an XBox from the company to him as a reward for making the top of “Santa’s list of nice boys” that year.
8. Why did Mikah give up his Christmas gift
A. The device was out of date. B. His parents had a tight budget.
C. He wanted to spend a warm Christmas. D. He decided to do something charitable.
9. What made Mikah have a better understanding of the situation of the homeless
A. His own experience. B. His parents’ education.
C. His visiting to the emergency shelter. D. The cold weather during the holiday season.
10. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs
A. The homeless gave Mikah a gift in return.
B. He finally got the gift he wanted on Christmas.
C. The company Microsoft fooled Mikah into buying an Xbox.
D. Mikah wrote a thank-you note to the emergency shelter he lived in.
11. What might be the best title for the text
A. Mikah’s Precious Christmas Gift
B. Mikah’s Giving Warmth on Christmas
C. Microsoft Rewarded Nice Boys on Santa’s List
D. The Homeless Needed Blankets on a Cold Christmas
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. B
【解析】

【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“ He knew how much it meant to be warm in the cold holiday season.( 他知道在寒冷的假期里温暖意味着什么。)”和第三段讲述的三年前米卡一家住在收容所里的经历可知， 米卡能理解无家可归的人的处境，是因为他曾经有同样的境遇。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Santa Claus could personally deliver an XBox from the company to him as a reward for making the top of “Santa’s list of nice boys” that year.( 圣诞老人可以亲自送一台XBox给他，作为他在那年“圣诞老人的好男孩名单”上名列前茅的奖励。)”可推知，米卡最终得到了他想要的礼物——一台 Xbox游戏机。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据第一段最后一句“Then he was thinking about a way to help the homeless to spend a warm Christmas.( 然后他想到了一个方法来帮助无家可归的人度过一个温暖的圣诞节。)”可知，本文讲述了一个九岁男孩放弃自己的圣诞礼物为无家可归的人买毛毯的感人故事，结合选项可知，选项B切题。故选B。

The earth is dying before us, yet we sit and watch. If the TV or the game system breaks, we run off to the stores to get it fixed immediately no matter what the cost. Why aren’t we willing to fix our earth Are our televisions and game systems more important to us than where we live Where shall we continue to live, until the end of time
The earth is our home and cannot be replaced. We must take care of it. We have come up with so much technology that limits us instead of helping us. Take that game system we run to repair. What does it do It occupies kids’ time! The earth has already given kids plenty of entertainment in the forms of fields and hills, forests and plains, water and land. However, instead of using what the earth has given us, and helping kids by giving them exercise as they run around, we decide to ruin kids’ minds with game systems that glue them to the screen for hours, and make them ignore their homework and chores. We have polluted this earth by making these things which do not even help in any way!
We have already messed up this world, we have ruined the air, water, and animals that it has so willingly provided for us. We need to stop this destruction of life and bring back the world we had before. It will not be easy, but everybody can help! What about something as simple as turning the lights off when you leave a room Recycling what can be recycled Picking up litter Donating money to an environmental organization None of these things are very hard. We can’t just always say, “Oh, the earth is a mess. Ah, well, those big companies that are polluting so much can stop and fix it.” Instead, we need to help out. It’s not only those big companies; it’s everyday things that we do too that are ruining the earth. So, stop and think about what you can do to make a difference to our world!
12. Why does the author mention televisions and game systems in Paragraph 1
A. To make people better aware of the urgency to the protection of the earth.
B. To explore the great harm done to the earth by too much technology waste.
C. To show the relationship between overuse of those things with early death.

B. thinks running around in fields occupies too much of kids’ time.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。作者通过电脑游戏对孩子的恶劣影响来反思我们做的许多事情已经毁坏了我们的母亲——地球，号召人们停止毁坏地球的活动。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段中的“The earth is dying before us, yet we sit and watch. If the TV or the game system breaks, we run off to the stores to get it fixed immediately no matter what the cost. Why aren’t we willing to fix our earth (地球在我们面前垂死，然而我们坐在那里观望。如果电视或游戏系统坏了，不管花多少钱，我们都会跑到商店去修理。为什么我们不愿意修复我们的地球)”及“Where shall we continue to live, until the end of time (我们将在哪里继续生活，直到时间的尽头)”和第二段中的“The earth is our home and cannot be replaced. We must take care of it. (地球是我们的家园，不可替代。我们必须照顾好它)”可知，电视和游戏系统坏了我们都会立即去修，对于正在我们面前垂死的地球——我们不可替代的家园，它出问题了，我们更要去好好照顾、修理，可得出作者在第一段提到电视和游戏系统是为了使人们更好地意识到保护地球的紧迫性。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段中的“It occupies kids’ time! (它占用了孩子们的时间)”和“However, instead of using what the earth has given us, and helping kids by giving them exercise as they run around, we decide to ruin kids’ minds with game systems that glue them to the screen for hours, and make them ignore their homework and chores. We have polluted this earth by making these things which do not even help in any way! (然而，我们没有利用地球给我们的东西，通过在孩子们奔跑时给他们锻炼来帮助他们，而是决定用游戏系统破坏孩子们的思维，让他们在屏幕上粘上几个小时，让他们忽略家庭作业和家务。我们制造了这些毫无用处的东西，污染了地球)”可知，作者认为游戏系统占用了孩子们的时间，让他们忽略家庭作业和家务，是无用的东西，可得出作者对游戏系统之类的东西持极端消极的态度。故选C项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。由第二段中的“It occupies kids’ time! (它占用了孩子们的时间)”和“However, instead of using what the earth has given us, and helping kids by giving them exercise as they run around, we decide to ruin kids’ minds with game systems that glue them to the screen for hours, and make them ignore their homework and chores. (然而，我们没有利用地球给我们的东西，通过在孩子们奔跑时给他们锻炼来帮助他们，而是决定用游戏系统破坏孩子们的思维，游戏系统glue他们在屏幕上呆上几个小时，让他们忽略家庭作业和家务)”可知，游戏系统占用了孩子们的时间，说明游戏系统很吸引人，以至于他们把多数时间花在屏幕上，glue在此处意为“吸引”。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。由上文对于“我们做的许多事情已经毁坏了我们的地球母亲”的介绍和最后一段中的“So, stop and think about what you can do to make a difference to our world! (所以，停下来想想你能做些什么来改变我们的世界)”可知，本文旨在唤醒人们停止毁坏地球，而是要保护地球。故选D项。

As I was coming into Middle School, Grade Six, I was really excited because my friend Jennifer was going to be in the same Middle School as me! At first things were great, she introduced me to her fiend, Amy and we had lots of fun together. Then things started to change. Jennifer was very controlling: I couldn't make new friends, because if I hung out with different people, she would decide that I was "mad at her and Amy". So I didn't make new friends, and pretty soon being Jennifer's friend became a battle between Amy and me.
Jennifer wanted to be the "leader" of our little group. Amy and I were never partners in class projects or gym; it was always "Who gets the privilege（荣耀）of being Jennifer's partner." It was either Jennifer liked me and she left Amy out or Jennifer liked Amy and she left me out. Amy and I both wanted to be Jennifer's number one. Being Jennifer's friend became the most important thing in the world.
I always waited for Jennifer and Amy after classes, so we could walk together to our next class. Amy and Jennifer chatted by Jennifer's desk as Jennifer packed her books up and I waited by the door. Sometimes when they left, they'd walk right past me. No "Thanks for waiting". No "Sorry we took so long". It was as if they couldn't even see me. Yet I still waited after every single class.
Most of the time we gossiped（传播流言蜚语）about people, and I soon realized that nobody was good enough for Jennifer. Jennifer had a list of bad things about everybody, even Amy. And I'm sure she had a list of bad things about me, too. After months of living through school this way, I had really changed. I was moody, depressed, lonely, and I didn't smile much. I spent lots of days trying not to cry. I felt so left out.

Finally, near the end of the school year, I got sick of being treated so poorly.

I'm in Grade Seven now, and I have tons of friends.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Finally, near the end of the school year, I got sick of being treated so poorly. I was sick of getting into battle for friendship. I stopped sitting with Jennifer at lunch and waiting for her after class. It didn’t take long: Jennifer quickly announced that I was “mad at her”. I said, “I’m not mad, I just think I need to make some more friends.” But with Jennifer it’s all or nothing. If you didn’t worship her, she was convinced you were mad at her. So our friendship fell to pieces.
I’m in Grade 7 now, and I have tons of friends. I’ve found many girls Jennifer classified as “mean” were the sweetest people in the world. We have fun together and I love them all to bits. It amazes me how easy our friendship is. There’s no struggling to be on top—we’re all equal. It doesn’t hurt my feelings or make me feel alone. I wish Jennifer could understand, I still want to be friends with her, but I can’t limit myself to one friendship. It’s better to have ten or twenty friends than just one best friend.

Americans are now allowed to get a COVID-19 vaccine (疫苗). But the process in America is not going as smoothly as some had hoped. Many people are still facing a wait for their first shot. Moreover, the vaccines aren't available to kids under 16 yet. That's because scientists have only tested if the vaccine works in adults.
The good news is that there are two companies, Moderna and Pfizer, making COVID-19 vaccines. They are now running clinical trials (临床实验)to test their vaccines in teens and kids. Volunteers are given a treatment plan and then evaluated after.
Clinical trials are designed with safety in mind and usually done in adults first. They work like this: volunteers get placed into one of two groups. One group receives the vaccine. The other group gets a placebo. This is a shot given in the same way as the vaccine but with no effect. Scientists can compare the effects of the real vaccine against the placebo to see if the vaccine works. Researchers want to know everything that a person experiences when they get the shot, so they can detect any harmful effects. If anything did happen, the trial would stop immediately.
Some teens are eager to volunteer because they want to help people. Maybe you're the right age to be part of a clinical trial for the COVID-19 vaccine. Why not volunteer For A Vaccine Trial Interested kids should read about the trials because every trial has risks. They should talk to their doctor and weigh the benefits and risks.

4. Why kids under 16 can't get a COVID-19 vaccine
A. Because the vaccine is too hard to get.
B. Because the vaccine is too expensive for them.
C. Because they are not at the risk of getting COVID-19.
D. Because the effectiveness of the vaccine for kids hasn't been tested .
5. How do the clinical trials work
A. One group receives the vaccine and the other group gets a substance to comfort patients.
B. One group receives the vaccine and the other group gets a pill to treat patients.
C. One group receives the vaccine and the other group gets a prize to award patients.
D. One group receives the vaccine and the other group gets a way to cure patients.

Mikah Frye, a 9-year-old boy, was walking down the streets with his grandmother discussing Christmas gifts when he saw some homeless people struggling to stay warm in the cold night. Then he was thinking about a way to help the homeless to spend a warm Christmas.
That thought stayed in Mikah Frye’s mind and when he reached home, Mikah informed his parents not to buy the Microsoft XBox gaming device he had asked for earlier. Mikah realized that by not buying the $300 device, he could instead donate over 30 blankets to the homeless. He knew how much it meant to be warm in the cold holiday season.
Three years ago, Mikah and his parents were the ones living in a homeless shelter. Having suffered a financial crisis, they too had lost their house, not knowing where their next meal would come from and sharing a blanket every night. Mikah was six years old then but he remembered what it was like to have to give back that precious blanket every morning.
Reaching out to the emergency shelter programme that looked after them 3 years ago, the family donated 60 blankets in the end, each with a personalized message of hope in Mikah’s handwriting stating: “They gave me a blanket, but I had to leave it. That’s why I want you to have your own blanket. Today, I live in my own house, and someday you will too. Your friend, Mikah.”
The homeless people at the shelter may not have been able to give Mikah a Christmas gift in return but his gesture was noted by the billion dollar company Microsoft who made sure that Mikah was fooled into visiting their store so that Santa Claus could personally deliver an XBox from the company to him as a reward for making the top of “Santa’s list of nice boys” that year.
8. Why did Mikah give up his Christmas gift
A. The device was out of date. B. His parents had a tight budget.
C. He wanted to spend a warm Christmas. D. He decided to do something charitable.
9. What made Mikah have a better understanding of the situation of the homeless
A. His own experience. B. His parents’ education.
C. His visiting to the emergency shelter. D. The cold weather during the holiday season.
10. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs
A. The homeless gave Mikah a gift in return.
B. He finally got the gift he wanted on Christmas.
C. The company Microsoft fooled Mikah into buying an Xbox.
D. Mikah wrote a thank-you note to the emergency shelter he lived in.
11. What might be the best title for the text
A. Mikah’s Precious Christmas Gift
B. Mikah’s Giving Warmth on Christmas
C. Microsoft Rewarded Nice Boys on Santa’s List
D. The Homeless Needed Blankets on a Cold Christmas

The earth is dying before us, yet we sit and watch. If the TV or the game system breaks, we run off to the stores to get it fixed immediately no matter what the cost. Why aren’t we willing to fix our earth Are our televisions and game systems more important to us than where we live Where shall we continue to live, until the end of time
The earth is our home and cannot be replaced. We must take care of it. We have come up with so much technology that limits us instead of helping us. Take that game system we run to repair. What does it do It occupies kids’ time! The earth has already given kids plenty of entertainment in the forms of fields and hills, forests and plains, water and land. However, instead of using what the earth has given us, and helping kids by giving them exercise as they run around, we decide to ruin kids’ minds with game systems that glue them to the screen for hours, and make them ignore their homework and chores. We have polluted this earth by making these things which do not even help in any way!
We have already messed up this world, we have ruined the air, water, and animals that it has so willingly provided for us. We need to stop this destruction of life and bring back the world we had before. It will not be easy, but everybody can help! What about something as simple as turning the lights off when you leave a room Recycling what can be recycled Picking up litter Donating money to an environmental organization None of these things are very hard. We can’t just always say, “Oh, the earth is a mess. Ah, well, those big companies that are polluting so much can stop and fix it.” Instead, we need to help out. It’s not only those big companies; it’s everyday things that we do too that are ruining the earth. So, stop and think about what you can do to make a difference to our world!
12. Why does the author mention televisions and game systems in Paragraph 1

As I was coming into Middle School, Grade Six, I was really excited because my friend Jennifer was going to be in the same Middle School as me! At first things were great, she introduced me to her fiend, Amy and we had lots of fun together. Then things started to change. Jennifer was very controlling: I couldn't make new friends, because if I hung out with different people, she would decide that I was "mad at her and Amy". So I didn't make new friends, and pretty soon being Jennifer's friend became a battle between Amy and me.
Jennifer wanted to be the "leader" of our little group. Amy and I were never partners in class projects or gym; it was always, "Who gets the privilege（荣耀）of being Jennifer's partner." It was either Jennifer liked me and she left Amy out or Jennifer liked Amy and she left me out. Amy and I both wanted to be Jennifer's number one. Being Jennifer's friend became the most important thing in the world.
I always waited for Jennifer and Amy after classes, so we could walk together to our next class. Amy and Jennifer chatted by Jennifer's desk as Jennifer packed her books up and I waited by the door. Sometimes when they left, they'd walk right past me. No "Thanks for waiting". No "Sorry we took so long". It was as if they couldn't even see me. Yet I still waited after every single class.
Most of the time we gossiped（传播流言蜚语）about people, and I soon realized that nobody was good enough for Jennifer. Jennifer had a list of bad things about everybody, even Amy. And I'm sure she had a list of bad things about me, too. After months of living through school this way, I had really changed. I was moody, depressed, lonely, and I didn't smile much. I spent lots of days trying not to cry. I felt so left out.

Finally, near the end of the school year, I got sick of being treated so poorly.
