A
Founder and Creative Director, Zeelicious Foods, Winifred Emmanuel Nwania has said that her love for cooking is a passion that has grown into a cooking business. While very few people have the perseverance(毅力) and diligence to go after their dreams, and make it a successful career, she is among the few living out their dreams.
Nwania grew up in Lagos with her mom and six siblings. She enjoyed a loving relationship with her dad, who passed away when she was only 12 years of age. Losing him aroused an intense desire to succeed within her. She decided making a success of her life will be the most ideal way to honour her absent father and make her dogged mother proud of the woman she raised. She grew up deprived(剥夺) of most of the comforts her father provided for the family. But, she didn’t let this bother her. Instead she learned to turn all the sour lemons life threw at her into sweet lemonade.
After graduating from the University of Lagos, with a degree in Economics, she landed a high-paying job with an oil and gas firm in Lagos. Her career seemed to have taken off to a flying start. But her heart was pulling her in a different direction. With zero business connections, and little to no savings, she quit her job. And the Zeelicious Foods brand was born.
“Frankly, I didn’t know much about business. I just knew I love to cook and I love to see people enjoy my culinary creations. I also loved helping the people who contacted me asking for recipes and cooking tips. I knew if I did this for the rest of my life I will be one of the happiest women in the world”, Nwania said.
Zeelicious Foods is now making inroads onto the big screen. The cooking show airs on free TV channels in Nigeria and Ghana. And talks are ongoing for it to get picked up by seven other TV stations across Africa. But, this young lady isn’t done yet. Nwania is working on two cookbooks for healthy
eaters. She’s also working on completing the new Zeelicious website, which she’s so excited about.
21. Which of the following words best describes Nwania
A. Brave and calm.
C. Perseverant and optimistic.
B. Generous and caring.
D. Hardworking and cautious.
22. Why did Nwania set up Zeelicious Foods
A. She wanted to make her father proud.
B. She wanted to follow her inner voice.
C. She wanted to provide comforts for her family.
D. She found her career in the oil and gas firm not rewarding.
23. What does Nwania’s story tell us
A. The first step is the hardest. B. He who laughs last laughs longest.
C. Where there’s a will there’s a way. D. A good beginning makes a good ending.
B
Singapore’s government has approved the sale of a laboratory-grown chicken meat. The American company that invented the product, Eat Just, says it is the first time lab-grown meat has received such approval anywhere in the world. Lab-grown meat — also called clean or cultured meat — is created from animal cells in a laboratory. The product is made without harming animals. The cells grow directly into the meat, outside of any animal.
The Eat Just product is to be sold as small pieces, called nuggets. The product is set to launch at a Singapore restaurant “in the very near term,” the company’s CEO Josh Tetrick told Reuters news agency.
Demand for alternatives to animal meat is rising across the world because of public concerns about health, animal welfare and the environment. Plant-based products — popularized by companies like Beyond Meat, Impossible Foods and Quorn — are selling in a growing number of stores and restaurants. But the development of lab-grown meat has been much slower than that of plant-based versions. The main reason for the delay is money. Lab-grown meat costs a lot more to produce.
Tetrick said the San Francisco-based company is also seeking approvals from U.S. government agencies. But he added that Singapore was a “good bit” ahead of the United States. The Singapore Food Agency said it examined data from processing, production control and safety testing before approving Eat Just sales. Tetrick said it is likely that the U.S. and countries in Europe and elsewhere will examine Singapore’s approval system and will attempt to create a similar process.
Eat Just was founded in 2011 and has raised more than $300 million, Tetrick said. The company is valued at around $1.2 billion. Worldwide, more than 24 companies are testing lab-grown fish, cow and chicken meat. They are hoping to break into a new part of the alternative meat market. Financial experts at Barclays Bank have estimated the market could be worth up to $140 billion by petitors in the market have also been able to raise large amounts of money and win support from well-known investors.
24. What can we learn about the laboratory-grown chicken meat
A. It has been put into market.
C. It can be created without animals.
B. It is produced in Singapore.
D. The sale of it hasn’t been approved in America.
25. Why has the development of lab-grown meat been slow
A. It focuses on public concerns.
C. The approval system is very complex.
26. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. Eat Just has made great profits.
B. The development of lab-grown products is fast.
C. Competitors should be cautious when investing.
B. More money is needed to produce it.
D. It’s not as popular as plant-based products.
D. The market for lab-grown products is promising.
C
Researchers say they have used brain waves of a paralyzed man who cannot speak to produce
words from his thoughts onto a computer. A team led by Dr. Edward Chang at the University of California, San Francisco, carried out the experiment.
“Most of us take for granted how easily we communicate through speech,” Chang told The Associated Press. “It’s exciting to think we’re at the very beginning of a new chapter, a new field to ease the difficulties of patients who lost that ability.” The researchers admit that such communication methods for paralysis victims will require years of additional research. But, they say the new study marks an important step forward.
Today, paralysis victims who cannot speak or write have very limited ways of communicating. For example, a victim can use a pointer attached to a hat that lets him move his head to touch words or
letters on a screen. Other devices can pick up a person’s eye movements. But such methods are slow and a very limited replacement for speech.
Using brain signals to work around disabilities is currently a hot field of study. Chang’s team built their experiment on earlier work. The process uses brain waves that normally control the voice system. The researchers implanted electrodes on the surface of the man’s brain, over the area that controls speech. A computer observed the patterns when he attempted to say common words such as “water” or “good.” Over time, the computer became able to differentiate between 50 words that could form more than 1,000 sentences. Repeatedly given questions such as “How are you today ” or “Are you thirsty,” the device enabled the man to answer “I am very good” or “No, I am not thirsty.” The words were not voiced, but were turned into text on the computer.
In an opinion article published with the study, Harvard brain doctors Leigh Hochberg and Sydney Cash called the work a “pioneering study.” The two doctors said the technology might one day help people with injuries, strokes or diseases like Lou Gehrig’s. People with such diseases have brains that “prepare messages for delivery, but those messages are trapped,” they wrote.
27. How is the new method different from the current ones
A. It involves a patient’s brain waves.
C. It is a very limited replacement for speech.
B. It can pick up a patient’s eye movements.
D. It can help a patient regain his speech ability.
28. What does the underlined word “differentiate” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Organize. B. Learn. C. Distinguish. D. Speak.
29. What was Leigh Hochberg and Sydney Cash’s attitude towards the study
A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Critical.
30. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Researchers Found Good Methods to Help Paralyzed Patients
B. Device Uses Brain Waves of Paralyzed Man to Help Him Communicate
C. Years ofAdditional Work Needed to Improve the Communication Methods
D. Device Uses Brain Waves of Paralyzed Man to Cure His Speaking Disability

If your Internet or cable bill is more than you can afford — or suddenly looks higher than you signed up for — you’re hardly alone. Many American Internet and cable TV companies employ a shell game of limited-time promotions and hidden, variable service fees to get us to pay more over time. 31 Here are some tricks I learned from Internet service providers and consumer advocates.
32 Check the website BroadbandNow to find all the available service providers specific to your Zip code. The site’s database is one of the best, though not all the options listed will necessarily offer speeds sufficient to keep a whole family online all at once. If you’re lucky enough to have options, you could even switch providers after promotional pricing runs out. 33
Just threaten to drop service. Many Internet service providers would rather cut your rates to keep you as a customer than try to win you back later. Calling and threatening to quit isn’t fun for you or the person working in the customer-retention department, but it can work. Ask to have access to the latest promotional offer for your area. Don’t be mean: 34
Buy your own modem and router. When you get Internet, you need two pieces of hardware to make it work: a modem and a router (sometimes combined into one box called a gateway). Most companies provide their own, and even set it up and then charge you to rent it from $10 to $25 per month. But you don’t have to rent their equipment — you can buy your own. In my house, I use a $150 Arris Surfboard modem plugged into a $130 Eero router for WiFi. 35 It might even work better than what your provider is renting.
A. Try to switch providers.
B. Sign up for the discount program.
C. Just remember to set a calendar reminder.
D. So what can you do now if your bill is just too high
E. You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.
F. This approach will cost you more first but will save you in the long run.
G. You could try calling your city officials and tell them you need more options.

At a medical clinic in Waterloo, Ontario, an elderly woman sat on a waiting room chair singing the Celine Dion tune “My Heart Will Go On.” I was there with my father, who was getting a routine blood 36 .

I was concerned about how my dad would 40 to the possible encroachment(侵犯) on his space. He was 77 at the time and had been 41 with Alzheimer’s(阿尔茨海默病) for several years. Since Alzheimer’s has a 42 to destroy a person’s patience, Dad had had a few 43 experiences in the past. I couldn’t help but 44 that this little woman was playing with fire.
Her singing began gently, like a quiet hum. I glanced over at Dad. He was 45 right at her. I couldn’t 46 his expression, but it seemed to be something like confusion. This wasn’t a(n) 47 state for him, and I wondered whether he was actually seeing her 48 or if he was lost somewhere deep in his mind, not really aware of her 49 at that point.
Her singing slowly got 50 . By the time she got to the chorus—“Near, far, wherever you are ..."—she 51 her eyes and sang at the top of her voice. Now Dad looked a little stunned. Still, I watched for any 52 of an outburst of anger. Instead, his face softened, and the 53 eased in his brow. He no longer looked 54 .
When her song ended, the woman opened her eyes. My dad was still looking 55 at her. “That was beautiful,” he said.
And she smiled and said, “Thank you.”

阅读下面材料， 在空白处填入适当的内容（ 1 个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
An independent report commissioned by the United Kingdom government has called for a complete change of the food industry in England, with fruit and vegetables to be prescribed by doctors
and additional taxes on sugar and salt. The report says money 56 (raise) by increased taxes could be used to provide improved school meals and support 57 (good) dietary habits among the poorest sections of society.
In addition, improved diets would be better for the environment, and ease the pressure on the National Health Service. Businessman Henry Dimbleby, who led the study, told the BBC that the COVID- 19 crisis had underlined the wider issue of dietary health, 58 (call) it “a painful reality check”. “Our high obesity rate has been 59 major factor in the UK’s tragically high death rate,” he said.
The food industry has expressed concern 60 increased taxes on sugar and salt could lead to increased prices in shops, 61 Dimbleby rejected this idea. “We do not 62 (actual) believe that for most things it will increase the price — what it will do is that it will reformulate. It 63 (make) people take sugar and salt out,” he said.
The report’s suggestions, which the government says it will respond 64 within six months, have won the backing of several leading charities, 65 (include) the British Heart Foundation.

阅读下面短文， 根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。
The National Institutes of Health defines the disorder as “a medical condition characterized by an impaired ability to stop or control alcohol use despite harmful social, occupational or health consequences.” Yet despite how popular it is, most people who have the disorder do not receive treatment for it, even when they reveal their drinking problem to their primary care doctor or another health care professional.
Alcohol abuse can be driven by a complex variety of factors, including stress, depression and anxiety, as well as a person’s genetics, family history and socioeconomic circumstances. Many people kick their heavy drinking habit on their own or through self-help programs like Alcoholics Anonymous or SMART Recovery. But relapse(复发) rates are very high. Research suggests that among all the people with alcohol use disorder who try to quit drinking every year, just 25 percent are able to successfully reduce their alcohol intake long-term.
Alcohol is one of the most common forms of substance(物质) abuse and a leading cause of preventable deaths and disease, killing almost 100,000 Americans annually and contributing to millions of cancers, car accidents, heart attacks and other ailments. It is also a significant cause of workplace accidents and lost work productivity, as well as a driver of tense family and personal relationships. Yet for a variety of reasons, people who need treatment rarely get it from their physicians.
Studies suggest that a major barrier to people seeking treatment is that they believe that quitting drinking is their only option. That view is driven by the popularity and long history of 12-step programs like A.A. that consider quitting drinking as the only solution to alcoholism. For some people with severe drinking problems, that may be necessary. But studies show that people who have milder forms of alcohol use disorder can improve their mental health and quality of life, as well as their blood pressure, liver health and other aspects of their physical health, by lowering their alcohol intake without quitting alcohol entirely. Yet the idea that the only option is to quit suddenly can prevent people from
seeking treatment.
