The e-mail request came in to Ekiben restaurant in Baltimore late on a Thursday afternoon. The man, Brandon Jones was writing for his mother-in-law, who loved the dish. He explained that she was now in the final stages of lung cancer at her home in Vermont and that he was hoping to get the recipe to make it for her there.
Steve Chu, one of the Asian fusion restaurant's co-owners, read the e-mail and quickly replied with another suggestion, "Thanks for reaching out, "he wrote. "We'd like to met you in Vermont and make it fresh for you.”
For the past six years, every time Brandon's mother-in-law visited Baltimore, the first place she wanted to go was Ekiben so she could order that dish. “She had always told us, 'When I'm on my deathbed, I want to have that broccoli (花椰菜),'” recalls Brandon's wife, Rina Jones.
That Friday after work, a day after receiving Brandon's e-mail, Chu prepared all the food ingredients (原料) and then headed for Vermont with his business partner and an employee. They stayed overnight in an Airbnb rental and drove the next day to where Rina's mother lived. After cooking and boxing everything up, they knocked on their customer's door.
“As soon as she opened the door, she recognized the amazing smell,” Brandon says.
Rina says her mother also recognized Chu and his coworkers. “My mom kept saying, 'You drove all the way up here to cook for me ' She was so happy and touched to have that broccoli.”
“It was an honor to help make the family's wishes come true,” Chu says.“There was a lot of good positive energy in doing this.” Rina was happy that her mother was able to enjoy her beloved broccoli with a side order of excellent kindness one last time.“My mom cried later about their generosity, and so did I.” Rina says.“I'll carry that positive memory with me always.”

Children born in 2020 will experience extreme climate events at a rate that is two to seven times higher than people born in 1960, according to a new study in the journal Science.
With the current rate of global warming and national policies that fail to make necessary cuts in pollution, climate events such as heat waves will continue to rise, scientists say. That leaves children of younger generations facing “a severe threat” to their safety, according to the study’s authors.
The study researched extreme climate events such as heat waves, droughts, crop failures, floods, and wildfires. Researchers used recent data from a 2021 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report that included information on global life expectancy(寿命), population trends and possible changes of global temperatures.
The forecasts for how these events could completely affect younger generations were rather surprising. The scientists compared a person born in 1960 with a child who was 6 years old in 2020. The 6-year-old will experience twice as many typhoons and wildfires, three times as many river floods, four times as many crop failures and five times as many droughts. Heat waves, though, will be the most extreme climate event, with 36 times as many occurring for the 6-year-old.
The study also shows that extreme weather events could affect younger generations in various places of the world differently. People who were younger than 25 years old by 2020 in the Middle East and North Africa will likely experience more exposure(暴露) to extreme climate events compared with other places. The researchers say overall, younger generations in lower-income countries will experience the worsening climate at a higher rate than those in wealthier countries.
The data from the study shows how limiting the increase in global warming and adapting the Paris climate accord(协议) are beneficial, the researchers argue. But even then, younger generations are still left with “extreme event exposure that never happen before,” they write.
8. What does “a severe threat” in Para 2 probably mean
A. An unexpected event.
B. A tough struggle.
C. An urgent action.
D. A serious danger.
9. How did the scientists study the influence of extreme climate events on younger generations
A. By making a comparison.
B. By interviewing people of all ages.
C. By giving examples.
D. By sharing their own experiences.
10. What can we infer from Para 5
A. Younger generations in lower-income nations will be most affected.
B. Young people under 25 are less likely to experience extreme climate events.
C. Climate in lower-income countries will be worse than that in wealthier countries.
D. Extreme climate will definitely destroy the life of people in lower-income countries.
11. Which of the following is likely to have a positive effect on the climate problem
A. Fighting global warming at any cost.
B. Making use of energy resources without limitation.
C. Adapting international policies concerning climate.
D. Letting go of the development of lower-income countries.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【分析】本文为一篇说明文。文章讲述的是一项新研究说明2020年出生的儿童经历极端气候事件的几率是1960年出生的人的2到7倍。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第二段“With the current rate of global warming and national policies that fail to make necessary cuts in pollution, climate events such as heat waves will continue to rise, scientists say. ”（科学家们说，随着目前全球变暖的速度和国家政策未能对污染作出必要的削减，热浪等气候事件将继续上升。）讲述的是一系列的气候事件，气候事件可能对孩子们的安全构成危险。可知，a severe threat的意思是严重的危险。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The scientists compared a person born in 1960 with a child who was 6 years old in 2020. ”（科学家们将1960年出生的人与2020年6岁的孩子进行了比较。）可知，是根据比较得出研究极端气候事件对年轻一代的影响的。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段最后一句话“The researchers say overall, younger generations in lower-income countries will experience the worsening climate at a higher rate than those in wealthier countries.”（研究人员说，总体而言，低收入国家的年轻一代比富裕国家的年轻一代经历气候恶化的比率更高。）可知，低收入国家的年轻一代将受到最大的影响更大。故选A。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“The data from the study shows how limiting the increase in global warming and adapting the Paris climate accord(协议) are beneficial, the researchers argue.”（研究显示的数据如何限制全球变暖的增加和适应巴黎气候协议是有益的，研究人员说。）可知，适应有关国际气候政策对气候问题有积极影响。故选C。
D
In 2020,many robots took up jobs, giving both humans and animals a helping hand.
A hospital ward treating COVID-19 patients in Wuhan, China, was run entirely by robots. The robots looked after patients with the lightest symptoms (症状), delivering food for people who work in hospital and keeping the hospital clean.This reduced the risk of doctors and nurses catching the disease. Meanwhile, a robot called Ginger led a dance class for those who were well enough to take part. If a patient fell more seriously ill, they were sent to a human-run part of the hospital for more treatment.
In May, a robot dog enforced (强制实施) social-distancing rules to stop the spread of coronavirus in Singapore. Spot, made by U.S. company Boston Dynamics, served in Singapore's Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park to check that people kept at least one metre apart from each other. The robot-dog was controlled from a distance by a human but may one day be able to work by itself.
In June, a teenager in New Zealand won a national science award for inventing a robot that can take out the bins for elderly and disabled people. Thomas James, who is 17 years old, came up with his great idea after an elderly neighbour was told by a doctor not to take out her wheelie bin (有轮大垃圾桶) in case she fell over.The smart machine took the teenager two years to design and build, using Lego models to test his early ideas.
Over summer, a super-cute SlothBot was tested at the Atlanta Botanical Garden in the U.S. Designed by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology, the animal-like robot is powered by sunlight and moves slowly along cables between trees, collecting information about its surroundings. The SlothBot's inventor, Professor Magnus Egerstedt, was inspired after observing sloths (树懒) in Costa Rica. By taking a “creature's-eye view" of life in the trees, researchers hope the robot will help protect endangered forest species in the wild.
12. What can robots in a hospital ward in Wuhan do
A. Manage the ward in place of doctors and nurses.
B. Make sure doctors and nurses avoid the disease.
C. Take care of patients with serious symptoms.
D. Offer dance lessons to all patients in the ward.
13. What does the example of Thomas James tell us
A. No pains,no gains.
B. Chance favors the prepared mind.
C. Necessity is the mother of invention.
D. Genius is ninety-nine percent perspiration plus one percent inspiration.
14. For what purpose was SlothBot invented
A. To remind people to keep a safe social distance.
B. To protect wild forest species that are in danger.
C. To provide service for the elderly and the disabled.
D To collect information about sloths in Costa Rica.
15. In which part of a magazine may this text appear
A. Home news.
B. Entertainment.
C. Animals & Environment.
D. Science &Technology.

Instead of focusing on the boring or difficult tasks that lay ahead of you, think about all the good to come.___17___ You can start with three simple things that you are excited about for each category: at work, after work, and at the weekend.
Get enough sleep
___18___ According to Harvard Medical School “poor or not enough sleep can cause anger and stress, while healthy sleep can enhance well-being.” So, if you find yourself easier to get angry than normal, sleep may be the answer. It's worth taking this into account on Sunday to avoid a lack of energy on a Monday morning.

Though this may seem of little importance, don't underestimate the power of a set of clothes. In fact, psychologists conclude that the strong link between clothing and mood suggests we should choose clothes that we connect with happiness, even when feeling low. In short, what better day than a Monday to wear what makes you feel great!
Do easier tasks
After a weekend of fun and relaxation, it might be best to keep Monday's schedule a little lighter than other days. This doesn't mean sitting around and buried in your sadness. It means that instead of facing the most complex task on a Monday, put some time into the easier tasks.___20___
A. Put on the clothes you like.
B. Pay attention to your dressing.
C. Sleep has a huge effect on our mood.
D. Since there is no way to skip Monday, face it bravely!

【20题详解】
根据上文“After a weekend of fun and relaxation, it might be best to keep Monday's schedule a little lighter than other days. This doesn't mean sitting around and buried in your sadness.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文阐述了友谊的重要性，人际关系应该精心发展。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意：虽然有时独处可能会导致个人的反思和进步，但我们不能没有友谊。lead to意为“导致，通向”，后跟名词，improve的名词形式是improvement。故填 improvement。
【37题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：亲密的友谊可以安慰心灵，出谋献策，帮助我们实现为自己设定的目标。固定短语help sb.(to) do sth.意为“帮助某人做某事”，to 也可以省略，故填 achieve或 to achieve。
【38题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：分享让快乐变得更有意义，分担让烦恼减半。固定短语take on意为“呈现，显出，变得”，该空缺少介词on。故填 on。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：分享让快乐变得更有意义，分担让烦恼减半。分析句子结构可知，该分句主语a trouble shared谓语动词是become，half与逻辑主语trouble之间是被动关系，应该填过去分词halved。故填 halved。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：其次，通过与那些明智和善意的朋友的交谈，可以获得更好的理解和判断。分析句子结构可知，这是一个限定性定语从句，先行词是friends，在从句中作主语，因此应用关系代词who或that引导，故填who或that。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：另外，准备与朋友交谈使我们的想法更清楚，理解更深入。分析句子结构可知，该句主语是“准备与朋友交谈”，谓语动词是makes，动名词preparing to talk with a friend作主语。故填 preparing
【42题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：另外，准备与朋友交谈使我们想法更清楚，理解更深入。根据and前clearer是比较级可知，and连接两个并列比较级形式，该空应该填thorough比较级more thorough。故填 more thorough。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意：此外，在我们的一生中，拥有不同技能和想法的朋友，也许可以以许多不同的方式给我们提供帮助，甚至在我们死后。根据句意“死后还能提供帮助”与上文是递进关系，故填副词even。故填 even。
【44题详解】
考查it作形式主语。句意：然而，必须指出，朋友的选择和关系的发展都要慎重。分析句子结构可知，该句主语是 friends should be carefully chosen and relationships carefully developed，应该用it作为形式主语。故填 it。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意：有了我们信赖的朋友的安慰、建议和帮助，我们可以过上更好的生活。根据上文 friends should be carefully chosen and relationships carefully developed可知，该句是特指“朋友的安慰安慰、建议和帮助”，应该用定冠词the。故填 the。

The e-mail request came in to Ekiben restaurant in Baltimore late on a Thursday afternoon. The man, Brandon Jones was writing for his mother-in-law, who loved the dish. He explained that she was now in the final stages of lung cancer at her home in Vermont and that he was hoping to get the recipe to make it for her there.
Steve Chu, one of the Asian fusion restaurant's co-owners, read the e-mail and quickly replied with another suggestion, "Thanks for reaching out, "he wrote. "We'd like to met you in Vermont and make it fresh for you.”
For the past six years, every time Brandon's mother-in-law visited Baltimore, the first place she wanted to go was Ekiben so she could order that dish. “She had always told us, 'When I'm on my deathbed, I want to have that broccoli (花椰菜),'” recalls Brandon's wife, Rina Jones.
That Friday after work, a day after receiving Brandon's e-mail, Chu prepared all the food ingredients (原料) and then headed for Vermont with his business partner and an employee. They stayed overnight in an Airbnb rental and drove the next day to where Rina's mother lived. After cooking and boxing everything up, they knocked on their customer's door.
“As soon as she opened the door, she recognized the amazing smell,” Brandon says.
Rina says her mother also recognized Chu and his coworkers. “My mom kept saying, 'You drove all the way up here to cook for me ' She was so happy and touched to have that broccoli.”
“It was an honor to help make the family's wishes come true,” Chu says.“There was a lot of good positive energy in doing this.” Rina was happy that her mother was able to enjoy her beloved broccoli with a side order of excellent kindness one last time.“My mom cried later about their generosity, and so did I.” Rina says.“I'll carry that positive memory with me always.”

Children born in 2020 will experience extreme climate events at a rate that is two to seven times higher than people born in 1960, according to a new study in the journal Science.
With the current rate of global warming and national policies that fail to make necessary cuts in pollution, climate events such as heat waves will continue to rise, scientists say. That leaves children of younger generations facing “a severe threat” to their safety, according to the study’s authors.
The study researched extreme climate events such as heat waves, droughts, crop failures, floods, and wildfires. Researchers used recent data from a 2021 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report that included information on global life expectancy(寿命), population trends and possible changes of global temperatures.
The forecasts for how these events could completely affect younger generations were rather surprising. The scientists compared a person born in 1960 with a child who was 6 years old in 2020. The 6-year-old will experience twice as many typhoons and wildfires, three times as many river floods, four times as many crop failures and five times as many droughts. Heat waves, though, will be the most extreme climate event, with 36 times as many occurring for the 6-year-old.
The study also shows that extreme weather events could affect younger generations in various places of the world differently. People who were younger than 25 years old by 2020 in the Middle East and North Africa will likely experience more exposure(暴露) to extreme climate events compared with other places. The researchers say overall, younger generations in lower-income countries will experience the worsening climate at a higher rate than those in wealthier countries.
The data from the study shows how limiting the increase in global warming and adapting the Paris climate accord(协议) are beneficial, the researchers argue. But even then, younger generations are still left with “extreme event exposure that never happen before,” they write.

B. Young people under 25 are less likely to experience extreme climate events.
C. Climate in lower-income countries will be worse than that in wealthier countries.
D. Extreme climate will definitely destroy the life of people in lower-income countries.
11 Which of the following is likely to have a positive effect on the climate problem

C. Adapting international policies concerning climate.
D. Letting go of the development of lower-income countries.

In 2020,many robots took up jobs, giving both humans and animals a helping hand.
A hospital ward treating COVID-19 patients in Wuhan, China, was run entirely by robots. The robots looked after patients with the lightest symptoms (症状), delivering food for people who work in hospital and keeping the hospital clean.This reduced the risk of doctors and nurses catching the disease. Meanwhile, a robot called Ginger led a dance class for those who were well enough to take part. If a patient fell more seriously ill, they were sent to a human-run part of the hospital for more treatment.
In May, a robot dog enforced (强制实施) social-distancing rules to stop the spread of coronavirus in Singapore. Spot, made by U.S. company Boston Dynamics, served in Singapore's Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park to check that people kept at least one metre apart from each other. The robot-dog was controlled from a distance by a human but may one day be able to work by itself.
In June, a teenager in New Zealand won a national science award for inventing a robot that can take out the bins for elderly and disabled people. Thomas James, who is 17 years old, came up with his great idea after an elderly neighbour was told by a doctor not to take out her wheelie bin (有轮大垃圾桶) in case she fell over.The smart machine took the teenager two years to design and build, using Lego models to test his early ideas.
Over summer, a super-cute SlothBot was tested at the Atlanta Botanical Garden in the U.S. Designed by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology, the animal-like robot is powered by sunlight and moves slowly along cables between trees, collecting information about its surroundings. The SlothBot's inventor, Professor Magnus Egerstedt, was inspired after observing sloths (树懒) in Costa Rica. By taking a “creature's-eye view" of life in the trees, researchers hope the robot will help protect endangered forest species in the wild.
12. What can robots in a hospital ward in Wuhan do
A. Manage the ward in place of doctors and nurses.
B. Make sure doctors and nurses avoid the disease.
C. Take care of patients with serious symptoms.
D. Offer dance lessons to all patients in the ward.
13. What does the example of Thomas James tell us
A. No pains,no gains.
B. Chance favors the prepared mind.
C. Necessity is the mother of invention.
D. Genius is ninety-nine percent perspiration plus one percent inspiration.
14. For what purpose was SlothBot invented
A. To remind people to keep a safe social distance.
B. To protect wild forest species that are in danger.
C. To provide service for the elderly and the disabled.
D. To collect information about sloths in Costa Rica.
15. In which part of a magazine may this text appear
A Home news.
