On September 18, 2020, people gathered on the steps of the US Supreme Court in Washington, DC, singing songs like Amazing Grace. Some placed twinkling candles on the steps. Others left flowers and messages. They were there to mourn (哀悼) the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who passed away at the age of 87.
Ginsburg was the second-ever female justice on the US Supreme Court, the most powerful court in the United States. She served in that position from 1993 until her death. During her long career, Justice Ginsburg fought for women's equality and human rights for everyone.
Because she was a woman, she had many barriers placed in her path by people who, at the time, felt that women should not have the same rights as men. When she attended Harvard Law School in 1956, she was only one of nine women in her class. "The rest of the class — 541 students —were men. It wasn't that other women weren't smart or talented enough to get in, but because there was a tendency against women attending schools like Harvard Law, so many were turned away while similarly qualified men were accepted. Ginsburg also laced discrimination because she was Jewish.
Ginsburg knew that men and women are equal. As a lawyer and later as a judge, she devoted her life to fighting for that principle.
One of her most famous rulings as a Supreme Court justice involved the Virginia Military Institute (VMI ), which, in 1996, only allowed males to attend. Ginsburg wrote a ruling that persuaded the other justices that not allowing women into the institute was against the 14th Amendment (修正案), which explains that all people in US have equal rights. Today, about 10% of the students at VMI are female.
Ginsburg was so inspirational that people wrote books, movies and songs about her. Children went out for Halloween dressed as her, wearing the black justice robes and white collars and other neck pieces she often wore.
24. What trouble did Ginsburg have in attending Harvard Law School
A. Competition with qualified men.
B. Discrimination against females.
C. Worry about her future career.
D. Luck of talent.
25. Which of the following can best describe Ginsburg
A. Influential and strong-willed.
B. Qualified und creative.
C. Generous and devoted.
D. Talented and sociable.
26. What can we learn from the text
A. The US Supreme: Court never had female justices before: Ginsburg.
B. The percentage of females at VMI is higher than that of males.
C. Ginsburg was the only Jewish female in the university.
D. People honored Ginsburg in various ways.
21. What is the best title for the text
A. Pursuit of Equality
B. Fighting Prejudice Beyond All Price
C. An American Hero Fighting for Gender Equality
D. An Inspirational Justice Fighting Against Her Fate
C
Apples have always played a significant yet diverse role in history. Today apples continue to astonish in medicine, with headlines reporting that an apple a day really does have health benefits. In 2013, researchers in Oxford suggested that prescribing (开处方) either an apple a day or a statin (a drug used to lower cholesterol) seemed to be equally successful at preventing heart attacks and strokes in people over the age of 50.
EPIC study, one of the biggest studies of its kind, involves half a million people and looks at the effects of eating fruit and vegetables on disease. Participants consuming at least eight portions a day had an astonishing 22% lower risk of heart discase, and risks of some cancers were slightly reduced. However, other cancers were unaffected, and there was no real effect on diabetes.
How might the humble apple be declaring war on heart disease and cancer, two of our biggest killers The answer might lie in polyphenols (多酚) in apples, which is useful for protecting the fruit from disease and also giving it color and flavor. They are known to have strong antioxidant (抗氧化剂), and may also protect by reducing blood stickiness and cholesterol levels.
Several studies also show a reduction in blood pressure when more fruit and vegetables are eaten. Furthermore, apples contain a fibre called pectin (果胶) which sticks to cholesterol and glucose in the gut (肠道), slowing their absorption. What is clear is that the apple is a complex mix of components, working together for the good of our health. Trying to make do with antioxidant vitamin tablets just isn't good enough, as shown by scientists in the Heart Protection Study.
But can we cat enough apples a day to keep the doctor away Eating too many may not be a good idea, especially with a risk of lasting exposure lo low levels of pesticide. Some people are even allergic to apples, and they can wear away outer layer of tooth. The Department of Health's advice to consume '5-a-day' (including both fruit and vegetables) might be a realistic starting point.
28. Which of the following do the researchers most probably agree with
A. People suffering strokes can be cured by eating apples.
B. Apples can replace medicine in some eases.
C. Eating applets works well on all participants.
D. Apples have been changing our life.
29. Why are polyphenols and pectin mentioned in the text

C. To clarify how apples work. D. To tell what apples contain.
30. What can be inferred from the text
A. An apple a day isn't a cure-all.
B. Apples are not easy to digest.
C. Apples have limited benefits for young people.
D. Apples have better effects on keeping fit than vegetables.
31. Where is the text most likely from
A. A nursing report. B. A biology textbook.
C. A diet brochure. D. A science magazine.
D
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a computer science based on artificial intelligence aiming at obtaining meaning from human language. NLP enables computers to communicate with human users and understand their unspoken intention. NLP-powered programs are now making their entry into other practical applications. The range of NLP applications is getting wider, and the technology is being used for a variety of purposes.
Aircraft generate large amounts of data that humans alone or traditional computers can't handle. NLP technology is being tried for aircraft maintenance (维修). Computers with NLP abilities can draw needed information from thick aircraft manuals (指南) written in plain human language. They also can understand the meaning of written or spoken descriptions of problems reported by the pilot or the mechanic. By being able to search and process relevant information, machines can help with predictive aircraft maintenance and smart trouble removal.
Social media monitoring is another area where NLP models are used for the sentiment (情感) analysis of users based on textual data. Sometimes called "opinion mining", sentiment analysis is concerned with identifying users' opinions about a company or a product. Sentiment analysis tools are mainly used for business-related purposes. Users' opinions mined in real-time help influence business decisions which are aimed at increasing brand image. Through such an automated NLP-based process, brands can judge the receptiveness (接受度) of its audience to is offerings and make data-driven decisions.
There's another more significant application of NLP-based sentiment analysis. NLP can also come in handy in criminology, more exactly predictive policing. Using NLP for detective predictive police work is about getting the motivation of crimes from textual data. Emotionally-charged texts of potentially malicious individuals can reveal their intention and help prevent their threat before they act on their sentiments.
Besides the most common NLP applications we rely on every day, other uses like the three above also benefit the large public. These applications are all suitable for the society at large.
32. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A.NLP for information analysis. B. NLP for aircraft operation.
C. NLP for aircraft repair. D. NLP for trouble removal.
33. How is the text organized
A. Introduction — Explanation — Argument. B. Definition — Examples —Conclusion.
C. Opinion—Discussion — Description. D. Topic— Comparison — Conclusion.
34. What does the underlined word "malicious" in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Easy-going. B. Simple-minded.
C. IIII-intentioned. D. Well-behaved.
35. Which is the function of NLP
A. It can communicate with humans emotionally.
B. It can help make business decisions.
C. It can change product users' opinions.
D. It can monitor criminals’ behaviors.

It was just the three of us—my parents and me. My dad is a truck driver, and when I was a little kid, he was gone most of the time, delivering supplies around the Mid-west. Then we moved to a small house in Brighton. Colorado on my third birthday. There weren't any kids my age in the neighborhood, so I mostly played in the yard with the dogs. I had a lot of imaginary friends—a whole family, actually, with a husband, children, a best friend...no joke.
My first memory is our neighbor Arlene handing me strawberries from her garden. One day, my parents asked Arlene and her husband Bill whether they'd watch me when they went out. This worked well, so it became a weekly occurrence.
When I was about five, I had an idea: “What if I adopted Bill and Arlene as my grandparents ” I knocked on their door and said, “Will you guys be my grandparents ” They started crying and enthusiastically accepted it. Soon after, they printed out an adoption certificate and it hung on their living room wall from then on.
I remember being surprised that they took my offer so seriously. Thinking of that moment still brings tears to my eyes. There's something truly remarkable about a child offering her love and adults being so ecstatic to accept it. From the day I adopted them, I called Bill and Arlene grandpa and grandma. Pretty soon, my parents were calling them Dad and Mom. Even our animals would often sneak out of our yard to visit them. Over the years, Bill and Arlene supported me in all my dreams. And when I got accepted to a university, they presented me with a fund. They told me they'd been putting away money since the day I adopted them.
After Arlene passed away, Bill gave me the ring he'd gifted to Arlene. It's a simple gold band that I wear on my ring finger as a reminder of the kind of love I wish to put into this world.
4. Before meeting Bill and Arlene, the author probably felt ______.
A. worried B. scared C. lonely D. desperate
5. What do we know about the author's adopted grandparents
A. They were unfriendly to her animals
B. They influenced her to reward the world.
C. They ignored her offer to adopt them at first.
D. They gave all their savings to help her with study.
6. What can we learn from the story
A. Parents should keep their kids company B. Love goes beyond blood relationship
C. A friend in need is a friend indeed D. There is no place like home
7. What's the author's purpose to write the text

B. To encourage herself to pursue dreams.
C. To treasure the memory of her “grandparents”
D. To thank her “grandparents” for their instructions.
C
If a president and a philosopher owed their success to the same secret, would you try to follow it too What if the secret was something you already knew how to do In fact, you probably do it every day. Here's what Friedrich Nietzsche wrote: “It is only ideas gained from walking that have any worth”. Thomas Jefferson: “Walking is the best possible exercise. Accustom yourself to walking very far.”
Are you still sitting there reading this Get walking! It is not just the two great minds who made a case for it as a main creativity booster（推动）. Researchers have traced numerous connections between walking and novel ideas. A Standford University study found that participants were 81% more creative when walking as opposed to sitting. According to the study, walking outside—versus on a treadmill（跑步机）—produces the most novel and highest-quality ideas in participants who walked and then sat down to do creative work.
The movement aspect of walking is obviously key. You've probably heard the phrase “exercise your creativity”, which refers to the brain as muscle. Our creative thinking is triggered by physical movement, which is exactly why walking—with your dog, a friend or alone—feeds creative thinking.
But the scenery is almost as important as the sweat. A survey reveals that Americans spend 87% of their time indoors. Being inside, you're more likely to have less energy. Without energy, you can't wonder or create. Interrupting your routine with a walk can be a catalyst（催化剂）for gaining fresh insights into problems or projects. Just by going outside，you are stepping out of your comfort zone which is necessary if you want to open your mind to new possibilities. You can walk through a tree-filled neighborhood or a park and observe people wandering or birds singing.
So instead of setting a fitness goal, why not set a creative goal that starts with walking Engage more closely with your surroundings. Walk just for exercise. Walk for wonder.
8. Why are the two great minds mentioned in Paragraph 1
A. To suggest the way to exercise B. To show the benefits of walking.
C. To give the definition of success D. To stress the importance of creativity
9. What does the underlined word “triggered” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Motivated. B. Blocked. C. Controlled. D. Changed.
10. Why is the scenery important according to the text
A. Americans spend most of their time enjoying it.
B. One can't wonder or create without it.
C. It can build a comfort zone for people.
D. It will expose people to new chances.
11. What's the best title for the text
A. Scenery inspires new ideas. B. Your creativity lies in sweat.
C. Exercise feeds creative thinking. D. Your brain is made for walking.
D
Shooting down an ice-covered track, a bobsled（大雪橇）can go faster than 80 miles an hour, and riders can feel force five times stronger than the pull of gravity. A race can be won or lost by one hundredth of a second. How do bobsleds go faster than cars on a highway The answer is a combination of athletics and science.
At the start of a race, the crew push their sled, building up speed before they jump in for the ride. For months before the race, the crew have built up power in their legs. The push is the crew's only chance to add speed. All other work goes into keeping friction and drag（摩擦力和阻力）from slowing the sled down.
The design of the sled's runners（滑板）reduces their friction with the ice. The friction of a moving runner melts a little ice right under the runner, and the runner rides on that thin layer of water. The runners are rounded on the bottom. Runners that are too flat may not melt enough ice for fast ride. Runners that are too round may become too warm, softening the ice and slowing the sled down. No amount of rounding is perfect for all races because the hardness of the ice depends on the weather on race day.
Bobsleds used to be open. The riders did not sit inside a hull（外壳）. As the crew sped down the track，the air would create drag. Today, a sled's hull reduces drag by splitting the air in front of the sled and making it flow smoothly along the slides. As with the runners，strict rules apply to the hull. For example，no team may add any part that would create helpful air currents.
Reducing friction and drag creates another challenge: high speeds. “The faster the sleds car travel on the run, the more thrilling the race,” one research team wrote. “But the track must not be too fast: he crew still need to be able to reach the bottom safely.”
12. What's the text mainly about
A. The shape of the sled. B. The design of the runners.
C. The safety rules applying to the sled. D. The elements relating to the sled's speed
13. What can we know from the third paragraph
A. Proper amount of melted ice is needed for a fast ride.
B. The rounder the runners are, the faster the sled goes.
C. Thin layer of water would drag the runners backward.
D. A sled's movement has nothing to do with weather.
14. What advantage does a sled with a hull have
A. It's comfortable to sit in. B. It leads to beneficial air flow.
C. It helps to create a safe ride. D. It's free from strict rules.
15. What is implied in the last paragraph
A. Safety is the most important. B. Keeping high speed is difficult.
C. Riders' desire to win is understandable. D. The crew's cooperation is necessary.

Designing a winter coat that transforms into a sleeping bag for people living on the streets would have been enough for most folks to sit back and revel （陶醉）in a kind deed done well. Others would call it good if they managed to take the attempt a step further by creating jobs for homeless people to sew the garments.
But Veronika Scott, the founder of The Empowerment Plan, wants those achievements to be just two of many stepping stones on the path to dreams fulfilled for single parents struggling to provide homes for their kids. Her vision has grown far beyond the design-school project thought up five years ago, when she was a 21-year-old student and people on the streets started calling her "the crazy coat lady" . Now The Empowerment Plan is a fully developed business that has provided convertible （可变的）coats to more than 20,000 globally, given jobs and education to more than 40 parents, and helped move more than 80 children out of shelters.
Scott said she's proud of the sleeping-bag coat she designed, but her main goal is getting people to the point where they and their families would never need one. That means looking past merely giving homeless parents jobs, but also helping them gain the education and skills needed to leave The Empowerment Plan after a couple years and］ pursue their dreams.
Scott's drive comes from her own upbringing as the scared child of parents who both struggled with unemployment and addiction. "The Empowerment Plan was a way of creating something I wish my own family had had growing up: an employment opportunity that would allow them to stabilize and get the financial stability they never had."
Scott wanted to show parents and their kids " that living in a homeless shelter isn't a defining （定义性的）characteristic , nor a life sentence. " Her employees all have been able to move into permanent housing with their children within the first four to six weeks of working for The Empowerment Plan, she said.
24. What is The Empowerment Plan's final aim
A. More sleeping-bag coats can be produced.
B. The homeless fan own a permanent house.
C. The project fan cover all the homeless people.
D. Homeless families can stand on their own feet.
25. What motivates Scott to start the project
A. Homeless people s suffering. B. Her enthusiasm for design.
C. Her background of growth. D. Upsetting social problems.
26. Which of the following can best describe Scott
A. Ambitious and faring. B. Cooperative and generous.
C. Proud and patient. D. Creative and demanding.
27. Which section of a website is this text most likely from
A. Fun lifestyles. B. Latest News.
C. Diverse Cultures. D. True Stories.

The latest data from Nature's Calendar shows that the butterflies, newts and nest-building blackbirds have been spotted months before they would normally appear. An analysis of the conditions in 2019 found that all but one of the 50 spring events the scheme （计划）） tracks were early last year, as a result of warmer winter temperatures. The Woodland Trust, which runs the Nature's Calendar scheme, warns that many species are losing their seasonal cues （提示）as winters warm and seasons shift.
Increasingly unstable weather could tempt some animals out of hibernation （冬眠）too soon, only to be hit by sharply dropping temperatures. And some birds appeared to be breeding too late as they make the most of vital food sources that appear earlier than normal, the Trust said.
Lorienne Whittle, at the Woodland Trust, said, "It seems that last year we almost lost winter as a season — it was much milder and our data shows wildlife is responding, potentially putting many at risk.”
And she said, “It appears that some species are able to adapt to the advancing spring better than others. Oak trees respond by producing their first leaves earlier and caterpillars seem to be keeping pace. But blue tits, great tits and pied flycatchers are struggling to react in time for their chicks to take advantage of the peak amount of caterpillars ——the food source on which they depend.”
Active newts were recorded in late December in Cheshire and a blackbird was spotted building a nest at the beginning of January. Accordingly, a report for The Wildlife Trusts suggested that hedgerows （树篱）be protected from being cut during the nesting season.
28. What does the underlined word "tempt” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Help. B. Attract. C. Guide. D. Cheat.
29. Why are oak trees mentioned in the text
A. To explain why plants respond to the climate change.
B. To prove some species fit in with the climate change better.
C. To show how caterpillars react to the changing environment.
D. To suggest plants adapt to warmer winters better than animals.
30. How is the text mainly developed
A. By listing environmental damages. B. By offering practical suggestions.
C. By making striking comparisons. D. By presenting tracking results.
31. What is the text mainly about
A. Some birds are in danger of dying out.
B. warmer winters increase the threat to wildlife.
C. A scheme will be carried out to protect wildlife.
D. Plants are struggling to survive warmer winters.
D
The MOOCs (massive open online courses) reached its peak of popularity in 2012. Now while people who drop out outnumber those who sign up for online courses and MOOCs are still the early days, there's no denying there's still value in their existence. Coursera does not give out figures on its paying learners； Udacity says it has 13,000 people doing its degrees. Whatever the numbers are, the reinvented MOOCs matter because they are solving two problems they share with every provider of later-life education.
The first of these is the cost of learning, not just in money but also in time. Formal education rests on the idea of qualifications that take a set period to complete. Students in their early 20s can more easily afford a lengthy time commitment because they are less likely to have other responsibilities. However, people in later life, when they manage part-time or distance learning, find balancing learning, working and family life can cause great pressures,
Moreover, the world of work increasingly demands a quick response from the education system to provide people with the desired qualifications. To lake one example from Burning Glass, in 2014 alone 65,000 American job-vacancy (职位空缺)ads asked for a cyber-security certificate. Since only 50 ,000 people in America hold such a certificate and it takes five years of experience Io earn one, that requirement will be hard to meet. Less demanding professions also put up huge barriers to entry. If you want to become a licensed cosmetologist (美容师)in New Hampshire, you will need to have gained 1 ,500 hours of training.
In response, the MOOCs have tried to make their content as digestible and flexible as possible. Degrees are broken into modules； modules into courses； courses into short periods. The MOOCs test for the most suitable length to ensure people complete the course; six minutes is thought to be the sweet spot for online video and four weeks for a course.
32. What can we infer about the MOOCs
A. They came into being in 2012.
B. They offer more courses to choose from.
C. They are still immature but promising.
D. They help solve problems caused by job markets.
33. What may cause pressure to people who take up learning in later life
A. Time management. B. Education cost.
C. Job hunting. D. Distance learning.
34. What can we learn from the text
A. Getting certificates can be quicker by learning online.
B. Young students can't afford formal education.
C. Online learning will guarantee one a good job.
D. Entering less demanding jobs is easier.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Education and Work B. Qualifications and Requirements
C. The Return of the MOOCs D. The Development of the MOOCs

On September 18, 2020, people gathered on the steps of the US Supreme Court in Washington, DC, singing songs like Amazing Grace. Some placed twinkling candles on the steps. Others left flowers and messages. They were there to mourn (哀悼) the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who passed away at the age of 87.
Ginsburg was the second-ever female justice on the US Supreme Court, the most powerful court in the United States. She served in that position from 1993 until her death. During her long career, Justice Ginsburg fought for women's equality and human rights for everyone.
Because she was a woman, she had many barriers placed in her path by people who, at the time, felt that women should not have the same rights as men. When she attended Harvard Law School in 1956, she was only one of nine women in her class. "The rest of the class — 541 students —were men. It wasn't that other women weren't smart or talented enough to get in, but because there was a tendency against women attending schools like Harvard Law, so many were turned away while similarly qualified men were accepted. Ginsburg also laced discrimination because she was Jewish.
Ginsburg knew that men and women are equal. As a lawyer and later as a judge, she devoted her life to fighting for that principle.
One of her most famous rulings as a Supreme Court justice involved the Virginia Military Institute (VMI ), which, in 1996, only allowed males to attend. Ginsburg wrote a ruling that persuaded the other justices that not allowing women into the institute was against the 14th Amendment (修正案), which explains that all people in US have equal rights. Today, about 10% of the students at VMI are female.
Ginsburg was so inspirational that people wrote books, movies and songs about her. Children went out for Halloween dressed as her, wearing the black justice robes and white collars and other neck pieces she often wore.
24. What trouble did Ginsburg have in attending Harvard Law School
A. Competition with qualified men.
B. Discrimination against females.
C. Worry about her future career.
D. Luck of talent.
25. Which of the following can best describe Ginsburg
A. Influential and strong-willed.
B. Qualified und creative.
C. Generous and devoted.
D. Talented and sociable.
26. What can we learn from the text
A. The US Supreme: Court never had female justices before: Ginsburg.
B. The percentage of females at VMI is higher than that of males.
C. Ginsburg was the only Jewish female in the university.
D. People honored Ginsburg in various ways.
21. What is the best title for the text
A. Pursuit of Equality
B. Fighting Prejudice Beyond All Price
C. An American Hero Fighting for Gender Equality
D. An Inspirational Justice Fighting Against Her Fate

Apples have always played a significant yet diverse role in history. Today apples continue to astonish in medicine, with headlines reporting that an apple a day really does have health benefits. In 2013, researchers in Oxford suggested that prescribing (开处方) either an apple a day or a statin (a drug used to lower cholesterol) seemed to be equally successful at preventing heart attacks and strokes in people over the age of 50.
EPIC study, one of the biggest studies of its kind, involves half a million people and looks at the effects of eating fruit and vegetables on disease. Participants consuming at least eight portions a day had an astonishing 22% lower risk of heart discase, and risks of some cancers were slightly reduced. However, other cancers were unaffected, and there was no real effect on diabetes.
How might the humble apple be declaring war on heart disease and cancer, two of our biggest killers The answer might lie in polyphenols (多酚) in apples, which is useful for protecting the fruit from disease and also giving it color and flavor. They are known to have strong antioxidant (抗氧化剂), and may also protect by reducing blood stickiness and cholesterol levels.
Several studies also show a reduction in blood pressure when more fruit and vegetables are eaten. Furthermore, apples contain a fibre called pectin (果胶) which sticks to cholesterol and glucose in the gut (肠道), slowing their absorption. What is clear is that the apple is a complex mix of components, working together for the good of our health. Trying to make do with antioxidant vitamin tablets just isn't good enough, as shown by scientists in the Heart Protection Study.
But can we cat enough apples a day to keep the doctor away Eating too many may not be a good idea, especially with a risk of lasting exposure lo low levels of pesticide. Some people are even allergic to apples, and they can wear away outer layer of tooth. The Department of Health's advice to consume '5-a-day' (including both fruit and vegetables) might be a realistic starting point.
28. Which of the following do the researchers most probably agree with
A. People suffering strokes can be cured by eating apples.
B. Apples can replace medicine in some eases.
C. Eating applets works well on all participants.
D. Apples have been changing our life.

A. A nursing report. B. A biology textbook.
C. A diet brochure. D. A science magazine.

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a computer science based on artificial intelligence aiming at obtaining meaning from human language. NLP enables computers to communicate with human users and understand their unspoken intention. NLP-powered programs are now making their entry into other practical applications. The range of NLP applications is getting wider, and the technology is being used for a variety of purposes.
Aircraft generate large amounts of data that humans alone or traditional computers can't handle. NLP technology is being tried for aircraft maintenance (维修). Computers with NLP abilities can draw needed information from thick aircraft manuals (指南) written in plain human language. They also can understand the meaning of written or spoken descriptions of problems reported by the pilot or the mechanic. By being able to search and process relevant information, machines can help with predictive aircraft maintenance and smart trouble removal.
Social media monitoring is another area where NLP models are used for the sentiment (情感) analysis of users based on textual data. Sometimes called "opinion mining", sentiment analysis is concerned with identifying users' opinions about a company or a product. Sentiment analysis tools are mainly used for business-related purposes. Users' opinions mined in real-time help influence business decisions which are aimed at increasing brand image. Through such an automated NLP-based process, brands can judge the receptiveness (接受度) of its audience to is offerings and make data-driven decisions.
There's another more significant application of NLP-based sentiment analysis. NLP can also come in handy in criminology, more exactly predictive policing. Using NLP for detective predictive police work is about getting the motivation of crimes from textual data. Emotionally-charged texts of potentially malicious individuals can reveal their intention and help prevent their threat before they act on their sentiments.
Besides the most common NLP applications we rely on every day, other uses like the three above also benefit the large public. These applications are all suitable for the society at large.
32. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A.NLP for information analysis. B. NLP for aircraft operation.
C. NLP for aircraft repair. D. NLP for trouble removal.

C. IIII-intentioned. D. Well-behaved.
35. Which is the function of NLP
A. It can communicate with humans emotionally.
B. It can help make business decisions.
C. It can change product users' opinions.
D. It can monitor criminals’ behaviors.

It was just the three of us—my parents and me. My dad is a truck driver, and when I was a little kid, he was gone most of the time, delivering supplies around the Mid-west. Then we moved to a small house in Brighton. Colorado on my third birthday. There weren't any kids my age in the neighborhood, so I mostly played in the yard with the dogs. I had a lot of imaginary friends—a whole family, actually, with a husband, children, a best friend...no joke.
My first memory is our neighbor Arlene handing me strawberries from her garden. One day, my parents asked Arlene and her husband Bill whether they'd watch me when they went out. This worked well, so it became a weekly occurrence.
When I was about five, I had an idea: “What if I adopted Bill and Arlene as my grandparents ” I knocked on their door and said, “Will you guys be my grandparents ” They started crying and enthusiastically accepted it. Soon after, they printed out an adoption certificate and it hung on their living room wall from then on.
I remember being surprised that they took my offer so seriously. Thinking of that moment still brings tears to my eyes. There's something truly remarkable about a child offering her love and adults being so ecstatic to accept it. From the day I adopted them, I called Bill and Arlene grandpa and grandma. Pretty soon, my parents were calling them Dad and Mom. Even our animals would often sneak out of our yard to visit them. Over the years, Bill and Arlene supported me in all my dreams. And when I got accepted to a university, they presented me with a fund. They told me they'd been putting away money since the day I adopted them.
After Arlene passed away, Bill gave me the ring he'd gifted to Arlene. It's a simple gold band that I wear on my ring finger as a reminder of the kind of love I wish to put into this world.
4. Before meeting Bill and Arlene, the author probably felt ______.
A. worried B. scared C. lonely D. desperate
5. What do we know about the author's adopted grandparents
A. They were unfriendly to her animals
B. They influenced her to reward the world.
C. They ignored her offer to adopt them at first.
D. They gave all their savings to help her with study.
6. What can we learn from the story
A. Parents should keep their kids company B. Love goes beyond blood relationship
C. A friend in need is a friend indeed D. There is no place like home
7. What's the author's purpose to write the text

D. To thank her “grandparents” for their instructions.

If a president and a philosopher owed their success to the same secret, would you try to follow it too What if the secret was something you already knew how to do In fact, you probably do it every day. Here's what Friedrich Nietzsche wrote: “It is only ideas gained from walking that have any worth”. Thomas Jefferson: “Walking is the best possible exercise. Accustom yourself to walking very far.”
Are you still sitting there reading this Get walking! It is not just the two great minds who made a case for it as a main creativity booster（推动）. Researchers have traced numerous connections between walking and novel ideas. A Standford University study found that participants were 81% more creative when walking as opposed to sitting. According to the study, walking outside—versus on a treadmill（跑步机）—produces the most novel and highest-quality ideas in participants who walked and then sat down to do creative work.
The movement aspect of walking is obviously key. You've probably heard the phrase “exercise your creativity”, which refers to the brain as muscle. Our creative thinking is triggered by physical movement, which is exactly why walking—with your dog, a friend or alone—feeds creative thinking.
But the scenery is almost as important as the sweat. A survey reveals that Americans spend 87% of their time indoors. Being inside, you're more likely to have less energy. Without energy, you can't wonder or create. Interrupting your routine with a walk can be a catalyst（催化剂）for gaining fresh insights into problems or projects. Just by going outside，you are stepping out of your comfort zone which is necessary if you want to open your mind to new possibilities. You can walk through a tree-filled neighborhood or a park and observe people wandering or birds singing.
So instead of setting a fitness goal, why not set a creative goal that starts with walking Engage more closely with your surroundings. Walk just for exercise. Walk for wonder.
8. Why are the two great minds mentioned in Paragraph 1
A. To suggest the way to exercise B. To show the benefits of walking.
C. To give the definition of success D. To stress the importance of creativity
9. What does the underlined word “triggered” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Motivated. B. Blocked. C. Controlled. D. Changed.
10. Why is the scenery important according to the text
A. Americans spend most of their time enjoying it.
B. One can't wonder or create without it.
C. It can build a comfort zone for people.
D. It will expose people to new chances.
11. What's the best title for the text
A. Scenery inspires new ideas. B. Your creativity lies in sweat.
C. Exercise feeds creative thinking. D. Your brain is made for walking.

Shooting down an ice-covered track, a bobsled（大雪橇）can go faster than 80 miles an hour, and riders can feel force five times stronger than the pull of gravity. A race can be won or lost by one hundredth of a second. How do bobsleds go faster than cars on a highway The answer is a combination of athletics and science.
At the start of a race, the crew push their sled, building up speed before they jump in for the ride. For months before the race, the crew have built up power in their legs. The push is the crew's only chance to add speed. All other work goes into keeping friction and drag（摩擦力和阻力）from slowing the sled down.
The design of the sled's runners（滑板）reduces their friction with the ice. The friction of a moving runner melts a little ice right under the runner, and the runner rides on that thin layer of water. The runners are rounded on the bottom. Runners that are too flat may not melt enough ice for fast ride. Runners that are too round may become too warm, softening the ice and slowing the sled down. No amount of rounding is perfect for all races because the hardness of the ice depends on the weather on race day.
Bobsleds used to be open. The riders did not sit inside a hull（外壳）. As the crew sped down the track，the air would create drag. Today, a sled's hull reduces drag by splitting the air in front of the sled and making it flow smoothly along the slides. As with the runners，strict rules apply to the hull. For example，no team may add any part that would create helpful air currents.
Reducing friction and drag creates another challenge: high speeds. “The faster the sleds car travel on the run, the more thrilling the race,” one research team wrote. “But the track must not be too fast: he crew still need to be able to reach the bottom safely.”
12. What's the text mainly about
A. The shape of the sled. B. The design of the runners.
C. The safety rules applying to the sled. D. The elements relating to the sled's speed
13. What can we know from the third paragraph
A. Proper amount of melted ice is needed for a fast ride.
B. The rounder the runners are, the faster the sled goes.
C. Thin layer of water would drag the runners backward.
D. A sled's movement has nothing to do with weather.
14. What advantage does a sled with a hull have
A. It's comfortable to sit in. B. It leads to beneficial air flow.
C. It helps to create a safe ride. D. It's free from strict rules.
15. What is implied in the last paragraph
A. Safety is the most important. B. Keeping high speed is difficult.
C. Riders' desire to win is understandable. D. The crew's cooperation is necessary.

Designing a winter coat that transforms into a sleeping bag for people living on the streets would have been enough for most folks to sit back and revel （陶醉）in a kind deed done well. Others would call it good if they managed to take the attempt a step further by creating jobs for homeless people to sew the garments.
But Veronika Scott, the founder of The Empowerment Plan, wants those achievements to be just two of many stepping stones on the path to dreams fulfilled for single parents struggling to provide homes for their kids. Her vision has grown far beyond the design-school project thought up five years ago, when she was a 21-year-old student and people on the streets started calling her "the crazy coat lady" . Now The Empowerment Plan is a fully developed business that has provided convertible （可变的）coats to more than 20,000 globally, given jobs and education to more than 40 parents, and helped move more than 80 children out of shelters.
Scott said she's proud of the sleeping-bag coat she designed, but her main goal is getting people to the point where they and their families would never need one. That means looking past merely giving homeless parents jobs, but also helping them gain the education and skills needed to leave The Empowerment Plan after a couple years and］ pursue their dreams.
Scott's drive comes from her own upbringing as the scared child of parents who both struggled with unemployment and addiction. "The Empowerment Plan was a way of creating something I wish my own family had had growing up: an employment opportunity that would allow them to stabilize and get the financial stability they never had."
Scott wanted to show parents and their kids " that living in a homeless shelter isn't a defining （定义性的）characteristic , nor a life sentence. " Her employees all have been able to move into permanent housing with their children within the first four to six weeks of working for The Empowerment Plan, she said.
24. What is The Empowerment Plan's final aim
A. More sleeping-bag coats can be produced.
B. The homeless fan own a permanent house.
C. The project fan cover all the homeless people.
D. Homeless families can stand on their own feet.
25. What motivates Scott to start the project
A. Homeless people s suffering. B. Her enthusiasm for design.
C. Her background of growth. D. Upsetting social problems.
26. Which of the following can best describe Scott
A. Ambitious and faring. B. Cooperative and generous.
C. Proud and patient. D. Creative and demanding.
27. Which section of a website is this text most likely from
A. Fun lifestyles. B. Latest News.
C. Diverse Cultures. D. True Stories.

The latest data from Nature's Calendar shows that the butterflies, newts and nest-building blackbirds have been spotted months before they would normally appear. An analysis of the conditions in 2019 found that all but one of the 50 spring events the scheme （计划）） tracks were early last year, as a result of warmer winter temperatures. The Woodland Trust, which runs the Nature's Calendar scheme, warns that many species are losing their seasonal cues （提示）as winters warm and seasons shift.
Increasingly unstable weather could tempt some animals out of hibernation （冬眠）too soon, only to be hit by sharply dropping temperatures. And some birds appeared to be breeding too late as they make the most of vital food sources that appear earlier than normal, the Trust said.
Lorienne Whittle, at the Woodland Trust, said, "It seems that last year we almost lost winter as a season — it was much milder and our data shows wildlife is responding, potentially putting many at risk.”
And she said, “It appears that some species are able to adapt to the advancing spring better than others. Oak trees respond by producing their first leaves earlier and caterpillars seem to be keeping pace. But blue tits, great tits and pied flycatchers are struggling to react in time for their chicks to take advantage of the peak amount of caterpillars ——the food source on which they depend.”
Active newts were recorded in late December in Cheshire and a blackbird was spotted building a nest at the beginning of January. Accordingly, a report for The Wildlife Trusts suggested that hedgerows （树篱）be protected from being cut during the nesting season.
28. What does the underlined word "tempt” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Help. B. Attract. C. Guide. D. Cheat.
29. Why are oak trees mentioned in the text
A. To explain why plants respond to the climate change.
B. To prove some species fit in with the climate change better.
C. To show how caterpillars react to the changing environment.
D. To suggest plants adapt to warmer winters better than animals.
30. How is the text mainly developed
A. By listing environmental damages. B. By offering practical suggestions.
C. By making striking comparisons. D. By presenting tracking results.
31. What is the text mainly about
A. Some birds are in danger of dying out.
B. warmer winters increase the threat to wildlife.
C. A scheme will be carried out to protect wildlife.
D. Plants are struggling to survive warmer winters.

The MOOCs (massive open online courses) reached its peak of popularity in 2012. Now while people who drop out outnumber those who sign up for online courses and MOOCs are still the early days, there's no denying there's still value in their existence. Coursera does not give out figures on its paying learners； Udacity says it has 13,000 people doing its degrees. Whatever the numbers are, the reinvented MOOCs matter because they are solving two problems they share with every provider of later-life education.
The first of these is the cost of learning, not just in money but also in time. Formal education rests on the idea of qualifications that take a set period to complete. Students in their early 20s can more easily afford a lengthy time commitment because they are less likely to have other responsibilities. However, people in later life, when they manage part-time or distance learning, find balancing learning, working and family life can cause great pressures,
Moreover, the world of work increasingly demands a quick response from the education system to provide people with the desired qualifications. To lake one example from Burning Glass, in 2014 alone 65,000 American job-vacancy (职位空缺)ads asked for a cyber-security certificate. Since only 50 ,000 people in America hold such a certificate and it takes five years of experience Io earn one, that requirement will be hard to meet. Less demanding professions also put up huge barriers to entry. If you want to become a licensed cosmetologist (美容师)in New Hampshire, you will need to have gained 1 ,500 hours of training.
In response, the MOOCs have tried to make their content as digestible and flexible as possible. Degrees are broken into modules； modules into courses； courses into short periods. The MOOCs test for the most suitable length to ensure people complete the course; six minutes is thought to be the sweet spot for online video and four weeks for a course.
32. What can we infer about the MOOCs
A. They came into being in 2012.
B. They offer more courses to choose from.
C. They are still immature but promising.
D. They help solve problems caused by job markets.
33. What may cause pressure to people who take up learning in later life
A. Time management. B. Education cost.
C. Job hunting. D. Distance learning.
34. What can we learn from the text
A. Getting certificates can be quicker by learning online.
B. Young students can't afford formal education.
C. Online learning will guarantee one a good job.
D. Entering less demanding jobs is easier.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Education and Work B. Qualifications and Requirements
C. The Return of the MOOCs D. The Development of the MOOCs
