On February 20, 2021,Jasmine Harrison,who’s from England, without lots of experience in rowing long distances (距离),became the youngest woman to row alone across the Atlantic Ocean. It took her 70 days, 3 hours and 48 minutes to reach the end of the journey.
Every year, rowers taking part in the Atlantic Campaign set off from the Canary Islands and row about 3,000 miles across the Atlantic. Some do the rowing in teams of two, three, or four. Others, like Ms. Harrison, row by themselves. Every day, Harrison would row for about 12 hours, pushing her 550-pound boat across the ocean. On her journey,Ms. Harrison said she survived (生存) just on cookies and chocolate. When asked what she was looking forward to the most, she said, “Food. Definitely food.”
Harrison had a satellite phone that allowed her to talk with her family and friends every day. But the journey still left her with a lot of time all by herself, which she said she enjoyed. But things got a little harder after her speaker fell in the water and she could no longer listen to her music.
She had other company along the way. She saw several whales. For several days, she was followed by a small group of dolphins. “It’s just amazing,” she said. But there was danger,too. Twice, her boat turned over in the night by large waves,and she hurt her arm quite badly. Another time, she nearly ran into a ship. Somehow, she kept going. Finally, she was taking her first steps on land in over two months.
Ms. Harrison’s trip didn’t just set a record; it also raised over 18,500 for two charities (慈善机构):Blue Marine Foundation,which works to control overfishing, and ShelterBox, which helps people who have suffered from natural disasters.

One Brazilian chef, Regina Tchelly, is using traditional ways to repurpose (赋予新的用途) leftover food, feeding her community via her social project Favela Organica. Tchelly was shocked by the amount of food she saw thrown away daily in the city’s markets, because she had grown up with the knowledge of how to use every part of Suits and vegetables.
Favela Organica began as a grassroots project, with Tchelly teaching small groups of women from her community how to repurpose leftover food that they got from local markets and grow their own produce in their yards.
“It started in my house with six stay-at-home moms,” she said. “We wanted to bring a new way to the food inside our houses. It was from this that Favela Organica grew. With these six moms, it became ten; then it became fifteen; then it was fifty, and then the world welcomed the project.” Later,she expanded (扩展)her offerings to course such as urban gardening and so on.
But the benefits (益处)of Tchelly’s courses go beyond helping the environment. From her free courses for the locals, people learn tips on using food waste that help them save money on their bills. One of Tchelly’s students, Ivonides Silva, uses the skills she learned to start a small baking business. She sells some cakes, earning about $42 a month. The extra income from the project is a huge boost to her family. “ Tchelly gives us the tools to create a small business to make some money, which changes out life greatly,” Silva said.
With no signs of slowing down,Favela Orggnica continues to develop from the ground up. The good environmental and social influences of Tchelly’s project set the stage for a healthier fixture for all.

Gharials (恒河鳄)are living along the river banks of India and eat fish. There was a time when they were plentiful, but that was many years ago. The population changed from about 10,000 in 1946 to fewer than 250 in 2006, which led to gharials being put in the endangered part on the International Union for Conservation (保护)of Nature’s red list.
Gharials were in such a condition due to increased fishing in their living areas — fish were caught in large numbers 一 gharials sometimes couldn't find enough food. Gharials were hunted for their skins, for use in traditional medicine and so on. Many lost their living places.
Conservation efforts began in the 1970s when the Indian government started a program that built the National Chambal Sanctuary in 1978. The next year, some gharials were put into the Chambal River. Other rivers, including the Gandaki, were added. The Gandaki River is a good place for the gharials because it has sandbanks and wetlands.
Since 2016, nests (巢)have been found every year with help from local farmers and fishermen who then help to protect gharials. "Members of the community were trained by experts to watch and help gharials,” said Samir Kumar Sinha,head of conservation at the Wildlife Trust of India (WTI).
A 2018 survey by the WTI recorded more than 160 gharials in the Gandaki River. The organization also found 20 baby gharials. Now, the gharials are being found in other parts of India and in parts of Nepal. In fact, they are found in the Kosi River in India for the first time in 50 years. They are still endangered but now there is hope that the animals will begin to make a comeback.
12. What happened to gharials according to the first paragraph
A. Their number dropped a lot.
B. They lived a much shorter life.
C. They changed their food choice.
D. Their living environment was polluted.
13. What once caused gharials to be endangered
① Human hunting.
②Fewer living places.
③ Being short of food.
④ Being hurt by other animals.
A.①②③. B.①②④.
C.②③④ D.①③④.
14. What does the information in Paragraphs 3 and 4 suggest
A. Gharials lead a life of adventure.
B. Local people work together to protect gharials.
C. People have to take care of gharials because of orders.
D. Gharials were put into different rivers to attract visitors.
15. How is the result of the conservation efforts
A. It is uncertain. B. It is worrying.
C. It is successful. D. It is unsatisfactory.

For more than 4,000 years, people in Asia have used acupuncture (针灸)to treat illnesses. 16 Studies have shown that acupuncture is useful for different conditions. However, it is not for everyone. If you choose to see an acupuncturist, discuss it with your doctor first and find an expert.
17 It can be used if you have a headache or back pain. Some doctors use acupuncture along with normal treatments for high blood pressure or stress. Doctors have even used acupuncture to stop pain during an operation.
People who practice acupuncture must take courses to learn how to do it correctly. 18 During the treatment, the patient usually lies down and needles (针)are stuck into certain points of his body. There are hundreds of possible points and each one has a certain effect on the body.
Acupuncture needles are made of metal and about as thick as a human hair. They normally go less than 1 cm into the skin. The patient rests for a short time and then the needles are removed. Acupuncture usually doesn’t hurt. There is also a different form of acupuncture called “acupressure” where you don’t need needles. 19
Chinese medicine teaches us that all acupuncture points are located along pathways called meridians (经络).Each of these meridians carries energy, which the Chinese call “qi”,to certain points of
the body. 20 They have not found any fact that these pathways of energy are really present.
A. Acupuncture can control pain and sickness.
B. Discuss acupuncture with your family members.
C. Doctors just use their fingers to press the points of the body.
D. Some people feel relaxed after receiving acupuncture treatment.
E. It is part of the ancient practice of traditional Chinese medicine.
F. In many places, only doctors are allowed to perform acupuncture.
G. However, doctors today are not sure how acupuncture really works.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
Algebra (代数)was my last class of the day. After the class, Mrs. Sharpnack asked me to stay to discuss my midterm math exam, which I had failed. Although I did well in language and many other subjects, I wouldn’t be on the honor roll (光荣榜) that term if I couldn’t soon make big progress in math. In just a few weeks, the names of the honor roll students would be read during the class. I was so sad.
Seeing my sadness, Mrs. Sharpnack said, “Do you want me to spare some time to help with your math I think you can make big and quick progress. But I just wanted to go home and never think about algebra again. “No, thanks,”I said. And I explained, “Unlike other students in my class, I am just not good at this kind of math. And no amount of studying will change that.”
I almost cried when I talked about it. Mrs. Sharpnack comforted me, saying, “If we work together, I believe you can change it.” For a moment, I wondered if she would be right. “What time does your bus come ” she asked. I had 30 minutes left before my bus came, and I told her so. She asked if I would like to use that time to go over the math problems I had met. Encouraged by her, I answered, “I guess so.”
We started right then and made a plan to meet each day for two weeks, after which Nte. Sharpnack would give me a test to check my progress. After Mrs. Sharpnack helped me go over a few problems that day, it was time for my bus to come. I waved her goodbye. In the following days, I continued staying with Mrs. Sharpnack after class. She went over each problem, carefully explaining the solutions.
Sometimes I still couldn’t understand what she had said. She stayed calm, though, and would think of a different way to explain the answer. The day to take the test came quickly. I stayed after class and sat at my desk alone.
Paragraph 1:
Mrs. Sharpnack handed me a test paper and let me start working.
Paragraph 2:
Mrs. Sharpnack graded my test paper while I waited.

Dear Fred,
Sorry to know that you are under great pressure from your parents these days. I am writing to give you some advice.
Personally, the reason why parents push us hard is that they hope we can have a bright future, so their concern for us is understandable. I think you should express your feelings to your parents while communicating with them, which may help reduce your pressure. Besides, you can do some physical exercise when you are stressed. Hope my advice will be helpful for you.
Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Hua

Paragraph 1:
Mrs. Sharpnack handed me a test paper and let me start working. I was nervous in the beginning. Looking at the test paper, I found the questions were hard and wanted to give up. But then, I remembered how hard we had worked together and how many times Mrs. Sharpnack had said I could make progress. So I kept calm and focused all my attention on the questions, trying to refresh my memory about the examples Mrs. Sharpnack had used. Two hours later, I finished the test and handed the paper back to her.
Paragraph 2:
Mrs. Sharpnack graded my test paper while I waited. She smiled with great satisfaction as she recorded my score. Things were different after that. I showed an interest in algebra and gradually became quite good at it. And on a warm morning, Mrs. Sharpnack stood in front of the class and read names on the honor roll. She looked at me with encouragement while reading my name. I was so thankful to her, who improved not only my study but also my confidence.
