One morning Oral Lee Brown stopped by a local store to make her usual shopping. A little girl came up to her, asking for 25 cents. Because all she had was a $5 bill (纸币), Brown invited the little girl to go with her to the store. Inside the store, Brown told the little girl she could pick out anything she wanted.
Instead of choosing candy or a toy, which would have been the first choice for most kids, the little girl immediately ran for a bag of bread. And she shyly thanked Brown and quickly disappeared around the comer.
That night, Brown couldn't sleep, deciding that she had to find the little girl to help her. She went to the school the girl would most likely attend, but she never found her. Instead, she found many other children, in less than ideal (理想的) conditions. Brown decided to “adopt (领养)” a class of 23 East Oakland, California, first-graders. She told them, “Stay in school, and I’ll send you to college.” To achieve this goal, Brown began saving money, putting aside $10000 per year from her $45000 salary.
Starting that day, Brown became a benefactor, mentor (导师) and second mother to those 23 first-graders, beginning with regular visits, Saturday tutorials and parent meetings. She tracked each child's attendance and grades, bought them Christmas gifts and bought supplies. Nineteen of the students in that first class attended college, and three others went into trade schools. Those students all graduated from college in 2003 and 2004.
Brown is now on her sixth class of “adopted” students. In total, more than 125 young people have gained her help. Some of these students—now in college—report that if it hadn't been for Brown, they would never have been given an opportunity for this kind of education.
24 .What can be inferred about the little girl
A .She had no interest in candy or toys. B .She had spent all her pocket money.
C .She dared not pick expensive food. D .She was in a poor living condition.
25 .Why did Brown go to the school to find the little girl
A .Because she wanted to help the little girl.
B .Because she wanted to visit her teachers.
C .Because she wanted to adopt the little girl.
D .Because she wanted to find the truth.

B .a person who organizes a charity activity
C .a person who gives money for a good purpose
D .a person who offers homes to children
27 .Without Brown, some ofthose “adopted” children ________.
A .might not have the chance to go to school
B .might not have received the college education
C .would have been unable to grow up healthily
D .would have been homeless at a young age

Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street Perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name — phubbers(低头族).
Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group ofpeople under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction ofthe world.
Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real.
Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying, “the neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods oftime will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.
But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.
It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed oftheir cell phones in broad daylight.
28. For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragragh2
A. To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.
B. To advertise the cartoon made by students.
C. To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.
D. To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients.
29. Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have
A. His social skills could be affected.
B. His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.
C. He will cause the destruction ofthe world.
D. He might get separated from his friends and family.
30. Which of the following may be the author’s attitude towards phubbing
A. Supportive. B. Opposed. C. Optimistic. D. Objective.
31. What may the passage talk about next
A. on how to use a cell phone.
B. People addicted to phubbing.
C. Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing.
D. Consequences of phubbing.
D
It’s been well over a year since COVID- 19 first appeared. Although the virus continues to be a problem in many parts ofthe world, things are starting to turn back in our favor with the help of vaccines(疫苗).
Vaccine development started in February 2020, when it became clear to scientists that a solution to the pandemic would need a global effort to vaccinate as many people as possible. The CO—VAX(COVID- 19 Vaccines Global Access)mechanism was then created to ensure equal access to safe and effective vaccines for all countries and regions, according to Business World.
Of course ,this would take great effort ,since vaccines typically take years to develop. However ,COVID— 19 needed faster development. The first COVID vaccine—the Pfizer vaccine—was approved by UK health authorities on Dec 2, 2020, according to science journal Nature.
This was made possible through the use of mRNA (信使核糖核酸). Vaccines developed with mRNA use the virus' spike protein (刺突蛋白) to create antibodies (抗体) that can fight the panies like Moderna and Pfizer have created their own mRNA vaccines, according to the BBC. However ,these vaccines must be stored at very low temperatures, which is not possible everywhere. In response, Chinese companies like Sinopharm and Sinovac have developed vaccines using dead viruses instead of spike proteins. These vaccines can be kept at regular temperatures.
Although there have been rumors about vaccines being unsafe, the majority of people seem to realize the importance of vaccination for building mass immunity in order to stop the virus from spreading.
Zhang Wenhong ,China’s leading expert on infectious diseases ,said it’s good that the world has come to understand that the vaccines will protect us, according to Global Times. Zhang added that human beings belong to one family. Vaccines are a kind of medicine that we all must share in order to stay safe and healthy.
32. Why was COVAX created?
A. To create more COVID— 19 vaccines.
B. To protect people with COVID— 19.
C. To help countries produce their own vaccines.
D. To make sure more people can get vaccines.
33. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Who made the first COVID— 19 vaccine.
B. How to prevent COVID— 19.
C. How mRNA vaccines work.
D. Why scientists use mRNA to make spike proteins.
34. What is the difference between the Pfizer vaccine and Chinese vaccines?
A. Chinese vaccines use viruses from spike proteins.
B. Chinese vaccines can be kept at a normal temperature.
C. The Pfizer vaccine is based on a Chinese vaccine.
D. The Pfizer vaccine is suitable for children.
35. Which of the following might Zhang Wenhong agree with?
A. Medicine is the only way to deal with infectious diseases.
B. Some vaccines might be unsafe.
C. Mass immunity can't stop the virus from spreading.
D. Vaccines can keep all ofus safe from COVID— 19.
