Old and unrestored theatres are all around us and yet so unnoticed. A new photobook unveils their often overlooked beauty.
Proctor’s Theatre, Newark, New Jersey
Although available outdoors from street sellers, food was banned in theatres to display respectability. In the late 1920s, however, the operators in Proctor’s Theatre in Newark began to set up stands to improve the economic situation during the Great Depression. Popcorn and Coke would become a significant part of the theatre’s income.
Proctor’s Theatre, Troy, New York
Originally opened as Proctor’s Fourth Street Theatre in 1914, it hosted famous comedians such as Jack Benny and Bob Hope. From 1929, it was successively taken over, renamed as Proctor’s Troy Theatre and switched to screening films. In the 1960s, it began playing second-run films before closing in 1977. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1979. In 2010, the theatre was repaired but is currently not being used today.
RKO Keith’s Flushing Theatre, New York
Originally opened in 1928, RKO Keith’s Flushing Theatre was designed by Thomas Lamb. In 1982, it was listed on the NRHP. In 1986, the theatre was bought and closed by its new owner who planned to build a shopping centre on the site, intentionally damaging the hall. In 2019, despite the preservation efforts, the hall was knocked down to make way for a residential tower block.
Metropolitan Opera House, Philadelphia
The theatre was originally opened as the Philadelphia Opera House in 1908. In the 1920s, it was renamed as the Metropolitan Opera House, showing silent films in addition to hosting various opera companies. In the 1940s, it became a sports arena. In 1954, it was turned into a church. In the late 1990s, the building was purchased by Mark Hatcher. The church and the developer came to an agreement on a repair for a music venue that was completed and reopened in 2018.

The exact location in France where Dutch master Vincent van Gogh painted his last work of art has been discovered.
A Dutch researcher figured out that a scene described in the artist’s last work, Tee Root, was visible on a postcard showing a man standing next to a bicycle on a back street of the village Auvers-sur-Oise. Van Gogh spent the last weeks of his life in the village. Helpfully, the card even included the name of the street.
Researchers were given a unique glimpse into the famous painter’s final hours. He was at work right up to the end.
Wouter van der Veen, scientific director of the Van Gogh Institute in France, made the discovery. While stuck at home, van de Veen used the extra time to organize the numerous files and documents on van Gogh, including images such as the old postcard from Auvers-sur-Oise. One day in late April, he saw the card on his computer screen and it suddenly struck him that he was looking at the location of Tree Roots. Next to the man and his bicycle, roots and trees are clearly visible. He took a virtual trip down the site using Google’s Street View.
“Villagers know the spot and the main tree root well, even giving it the name ‘the elephant’ because of its shapes,” van der Veen said. “It was really hiding in overt sight.”
The discovery provides tourists with an extra reason to visit Auvers-sur-Oise. “They travel a lot just for one reason—to walk in the footsteps of Vincent van Gogh. Now they can stand at the very place where he painted his last painting,” van der Veen said. “And that’s a very moving thing for a lot of people. So I’m very happy to be able to share that with all those who love van Gogh.”
24. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. Where van Gogh painted his works.
B. How Tee Roots was discovered.
C. What the postcard revealed.
D. Why Auvers-sur-Oise became known.
25. How did van der Veen confirm his discovery

B. He paid a visit to the spot online.
C. He traveled to France to see for himself.
D. He organized his data on van Gogh.
26. What does the underlined word “overt” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Mixed. B. Strange. C. Lovely. D. Obvious.
27. What can we infer about tourists to Auvers-sur-Oise
A. They admire van Gogh very much.
B. They share their love for van Gogh.
C. They enjoy exploring how to paint.
D. They want to experience the life there.
C
When “irregardless” was included in Merriam-Webster dictionary, it caused wide disagreements. “Irregardless” has been in widespread and near-constant use since 1795, when a newspaper called The Charleston City Gazelle of Charleston Ga first used it. “We do not make the English language, and we merely record it,” the dictionary’s staff wrote in “Words of the Week”.
The word’s definition, when we read it, would seem to be without regard. However, Merriam-Webster defines “irregardless” as “nonstandard” but meaning the same as “regardless”. According to Merriam-Webster, “Many people find ‘irregardless’ to be a ridiculous word, as the ir-prefix usually indicates negative meaning; however, in this case it appears to make the meaning of ‘regardless’ stronger.”
“It’s not a real word. I don’t care what the dictionary says.” responds author Michelle Ray, who teaches English in Silver Spring, Md. And she says she’s still planning to mark “irregardless” as incorrect on her students’ work.
An American newspaper the Baltimore Sun published the word in editor John McIntyre’s commentary on Saturday: “‘Irregardless’ is too a word; you just don’t understand dictionaries. People get upset about the dictionary because they think it is some sort of official document. But actually, it’s not. It’s just lexicographers identifying words that people use and trying to find out how they are spelled, how they are pronounced, what meanings they have and where they came from.”
“The dictionary’s recognition doesn’t enroll a word as correct in the English language,” McIntyre says. “It just says this is a word that a lot of people use in English. And here’s what we know about it.” So it’s a word, but its use is still discouraged in formal writing.
28. What’s the function of the first paragraph
A. To lead in the topic. B. To criticize the use of “irregardless”.
C. To introduce a new word. D. To make a definition of “irregardless”.
29. What can we learn from the passage
A. The dictionary’s staff rarely record the English language.
B. Michelle Ray thinks the use of “irregardless” formal but incorrect.
C. People are still not encouraged to use “irregardless” in formal writing.
D. “Irregardless” had been in widespread and near-constant use before 1975.
30. What is the attitude of McIntyre to the appearance of “irregardless” in Merriam-Webster dictionary
A. Conservative. B. Favorable. C. Indifferent. D. Ambiguous.
31. What can be the best title for the passage
A. “Irregardless” Is Frequently Used in Formal Writing
B. “Irregardless” Shouldn’t Be Included in the Dictionary
C. Experts Can’t Agree on the Meaning of “Irregardless”
D. Regardless of What You Think, “Irregardless” Is a Word
D
The latest in cat research reveals that the lovely animal seems to have a basic grasp on both the laws of physics and the ins and outs of cause and effect. According to a newly published study, cats seem to be able to predict the location of hiding prey (猎物) using both their ears and an inborn understanding of how the physical world works.
In a recent experiment, Japanese researchers taped 30 domestic cats reacting to a container that a team member shook. Some containers rattled (发出响声); others did not. When the container was tipped over, sometimes an object fell out and sometimes it didn’t.
It turns out that the cats were remarkably smart about what would happen when a container was tipped over. When an object did not drop out of the bottom of a rattling container, they looked at it for a longer time than they did when the container behaved as expected.
“Cats use a causal-logical understanding of noise or sounds to predict the appearance of invisible objects,” lead researcher Saho Takagi says in a press release. The researchers conclude that cats’ hunting style may have developed based on their common-sense abilities to infer where prey is, using their hearing.
Scientists have explored this idea with other lovely creatures: babies. Like cats, babies appear to engage in what’s called “preferential looking”—looking longer at things that are interesting or unusual than things they perceive as normal. When babies’ expectations are disturbed in experiments like the ones performed with the cats, they react much like their animal friends. Psychologists have shown that babies apparently expect their world to be consistent with the laws of physics and cause and effect as early as two months of age.
Does the study mean that cats will soon grasp the ins and outs of cause and effect Maybe. Okay, cats may not be the next physics faculty members at America’s most important research universities. But by demonstrating their common sense, they’ve shown that the divide between cats and humans may not be that great after all.
32. What do we learn from a newly published study about cats
A. They can be trained to understand the physical world.
B. They have a natural ability to locate animals they hunt.
C. They know what kind of prey might be easier to hunt.
D. They are capable of telling which way their prey flees.
33. What may account for the cats’ response to the noise from the containers
A. Their inborn sensitivity to noise.
B. Their unusual sense of direction.
C. Their mastery of cause and effect.
D. Their special ability to perceive.
34. In what way do babies behave like cats
A. They focus on what appears odd.
B. They view the world as normal.
C. They do what they prefer to do.
D. They are curious about everything.
35. What can we conclude about cats from the passage
A. They have higher intelligence than many other animals.
B. They can aid physics professors in their research work.
C. They display extraordinarily high intelligence in hunting.
D. They interact with the physical world much like humans.

For most children, bath time is fun. But four-year-old Harry Floyd used to have a very different experience - soon after climbing into the water he felt itchy ( 发痒的) from head to foot.
Harry first started to develop small itchy bumps on the skin at three months old. He woke at 3 a. m. and was covered in the bumps, but they cleared up within an hour. When Harry’s mother Lisa got him to the doctor, there was nothing to see. Lisa initially thought it was the soap that Harry was allergic to, but even when she just used water to bathe him he would still get the bumps. Lisa was then alarmed to see that when the weather was really cold or hot Harry would start to get them. Within a few minutes they would spread over his body. He’d just scream and try to scratch them.
Lisa and her husband Eddie took Harry to the doctor many times over the next year, but were told it was simply a virus and the condition wouldn't affect his older brother, Oliver. At six months Harry was diagnosed with several food allergies，which doctors thought might have caused the bumps. But Harry continued to get the bumps even after shunning those foods. Out of desperation, the family took Harry to Great Ormond Street Hospital to see a private specialist. By coincidence, Harry got the bumps when they were waiting to see the consultant. So the consultant saw exactly how severe it was. And Harry was diagnosed with physical urticaria (荨麻疹), a skin allergy to a host of common triggers (触发物). Since the diagnosis, Harry’ s condition has greatly improved.
The cause of physical urticaria is still a mystery. Genetics may play a role and stress has been seen as a trigger. From newborn babies to the old are likely to suffer from it. Recent research suggests around one million people in Britain suffer from the condition, although experts say this may be inaccurate, with many more going undiagnosed.
24. Why does Harry’ s problem remain unsolved at the first time
A. Lisa was unsure about the triggers.
B. Hospital equipment was not advanced.
C. His symptoms disappeared in a short time.
D. Doctors lacked experience to identify the bumps.

A. Physical urticaria can start at any age.
B. Harry' s father used to have physical urticaria.
C. Physical urticaria is rather uncommon in Britain.
D. Physical urticaria can be easily passed on to children.
27. What does the text mainly talk about
A. The symptoms of a rare disease.
B. The possible causes of physical urticaria.
C. A family seeking treatment for their injured kid.
D. A little boy suffering from a terrible skin allergy.
C
Record-breaking. Abnormal. Dangerous. That’s how the National Weather Service described the heat wave hitting much of North America.
The heat wave has already broken all-time high temperature records in places unaccustomed to such extreme heat. For example, Oregon’s capital city, Salem, recorded the highest temperature in its history on Sunday: 130F, breaking the old mark by 4 degrees. The temperature hit 104F in Seattle. It was an all-time record for the city better known for rain than heat and was the first time the area reached such a high temperature since records began being kept in 1894.
Weather forecasters said the heat wave was caused by an extended “heat dome” which allowed hot air from the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic to stream northward over much of North America.
This current heat wave was yet more evidence of the impact of human-caused climate change. “When it comes to record-breaking heat events, the study has been run for event after event in region after region in year after year. And the answer is almost always the same,” said Kristie Ebi, a professor at the University of Washington “The days-long heat wave is a taste of the future as climate change reshapes global weather patterns.”
“Another aspect that we see connected to climate change but that we don’t hear about as much is the fact that there is also a lot more water in the atmosphere now. As we warm the oceans and warm the air, there is more evaporation（蒸发）and that wetter air makes us feel hotter,” added weather forecaster, Jennifer Francis. “A combination of high temperature and moisture（湿度）in the air means dangerous conditions for the young, elderly or others who are not healthy. Please drink plenty of water; stay out of the sun and in air-conditioned rooms.”
28. What was the previous temperature record in Salem
A. 104F. B. 126F. C. 130F. D. 134F.
29. What is the root cause of the present heat wave in North America
A. The climate change. B. The northward air streams.
C. The extended "heat dome". D. The moisture in the atmosphere.
30. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. The Dangerous Heat Wave Will Last Long
B. A Heat Wave Roasts Much of North America
C. Measures Must Be Taken to Protect the Young and Elderly
D. The "Heat Dome" Is Expected to Cover the Pacific Northwest
31. Where can the text be found
A. In a first aid guidebook. B. In a weather forecast.
C. In a news report. D. In a professor's lecture.

The Native Americans of northern California were highly skilled at basketry, using the reeds, grasses, barks, and roots they found around them to fashion articles of all sorts and sizes -- not only trays, containers, and cooking pots, but hats, boats, fish traps, baby carriers, and ceremonial objects.
Of all these experts, none excelled the Pomo -- a group who lived on or near the coast during the 1800s, and whose descendants continue to live in parts of the same region to this day. They made baskets three feet in diameter and others no bigger than a thimble（顶针）. The Pomo people were masters of decoration. Some of their baskets were completely covered with shell pendants; others with feathers that made the baskets' surfaces as soft as the breasts of birds. Moreover, the Pomo people made use of more weaving techniques than did their neighbors. Most groups made all their basketwork by twining - the twisting of a flexible horizontal material, called a weft, around stiffer vertical strands of material, the warp. Others depended primarily on coiling -- a process in which a continuous coil of stiff material is held in the desired shape with tight wrapping of flexible strands. Only the Pomo people used both processes with equal ease and frequency. In addition, they made use of four distinct variations on the basic twining process, often employing more than one of them in a single article.
Although a wide variety of materials was available, the Pomo people used only a few. The warp was always made of willow, and the most commonly used weft was sedge root, a woody fiber that could easily be separated into strands no thicker than a thread. For color, the Pomo people used the bark of redbud for their twined work and dyed bullrush root for black in coiled work. Though other materials were sometimes used, these four were the staples in their finest basketry.
If the basketry materials used by the Pomo people were limited, the designs were amazingly varied. Every Pomo basket maker knew how to produce from fifteen to twenty distinct patterns that could be combined in a number of different ways.
32. The word "fashion" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _________.
A. maintain B. organize C. trade D. create
33. What is the author's main point in paragraph 2
A. The neighbors of the Pomo people tried to improve on the Pomo basket weaving techniques.
B. The Pomo people were the most skilled basket weavers in their region.
C. The Pomo people learned their basket weaving techniques from other Native Americans.
D. The Pomo baskets have been handed down for generations.
34. According to the passage, the relationship between redbud and twining is most similar to the relationship between _________.
A. bullrush and coiling B. weft and warp
C. willow and feathers D. sedge and weaving
35. Which of the following statements about Pomo baskets can be best inferred from the passage
A. Baskets produced by other Native Americans were less varied in design than those of the Pomo.
B. Baskets produced by Pomo weavers were primarily for ceremonial and religious purposes.
C. There were a very limited number of basket-making materials available to the Pomo people.
D. The basket-making production of the Pomo people has been increasing over the years.

You're stuck in a standstill traffic when it begins: hunger pangs, the kind that release a steady stream of fast food fantasizing. With your grumbling stomach growing louder, your options are limited: You can wait a few hours for the roadways to clear or pull a Michael Douglas in the movie falling Down, leaving your car idling on the freeway while you set off on foot (please don't do this).
Now burger King, is betting that hungry drivers will welcome a third option: a direct-to-driver delivery concept the company has labeled the "Traffic Jam Whooper."
Reached by email, Gustavo Lauria, co-founder of the advertising agency We Believers, which
developed the vehicle delivery concept, said the new approach allows the burger chain to capitalize on a time of day in which the city's terrible traffic typically slows business. "This was an opportunity for Burger King to generate new profits out of those hungry drivers" Lauria added.
Lauria claims Burger King is the first fast food brand to deliver food to people in the middle of a traffic jam. In Mexico City, the company said, delivery drivers are already receiving an average of 7,000 orders per day, mostly to homes and offces. To make the traffic jam delivery process possible, Burger Kings Mexico app activates the service after identifying crowded areas in Mexico City during periods of high traffic. Customers can only place an order if the app determines that the driver will be locked in traffic for at least 30 minutes and they are within a 1. 8-mile distance of a Burger King restaurant, the company said.
Early on, Lauria wrote, the initiative was met with skepticism. The challenges were complex: making sure real-time geolocation data was accurate enough, and the creation of a hands-free way to take orders on cellphones in a country that has adopted serious punishment for drivers who use cellphones behind the wheel.
Though the company did not offer a timeline, Burger King says it expects to roll out the Traffic Jam Whopper in other overcrowded cities, such as Los Angeles, Sao Paulo and Shanghai.
24. What does the "Traffic Jam Whopper"(paragraph 2) refer to
A. A proposal intended to ease the traffic jam during peak hours
B. An initiative which allows drivers to have food delivered directly to their cars
C. A platforn which makes it convenient for drivers to order food via cellphones
D. An association supervising whether drivers are observing traffic rules
25. Burger King is launching the Traffic Jam Whopper mainly to___________.
A. promote its corporate cuiture B. make a shift in its sales pattern
C. achieve an increase in its profit D. expand its business into more cities
26. What can be inferred from the passage
A. The Traffic Jam Whopper poses a threat to the safety of pedestrians.
B. Drivers will be allowed to type on their cellphones during traffic jars.
C. Technological barriers may block the traffic jam delivery process.
D. Drivers can instantly choose to activate Burger Kings app.
27. Burger King is_________about the Taffic Jam Whopper.
A. cautious B. ambitious C. doubtful D. concerned
C
The "30 by 30" campaign to protect 30% of the world's oceans by 2030, supported by more than 70 nations, is known mostly for ambition and few achievements so far. Just 7% of the seas are protected and only 2.7% are highly protected.
Setting aside nearly a third of the oceans, the fishers say, is an idea developing nations in South America and elsewhere can hardly afford. That argument against a large expansion of sea protected areas is heard around the world, and the gap between conservationists and fishers has grown wider as fish population declines and the appetite for seafood grows along with the global population.
Research published recently aims to dramatically change that situation. The study suggests that protecting 30% of the oceans not only could restore biodiversity to ocean habitats, it could also increase the annual global catch by eight million tons about 10% of the catch today. After all, the only way to get more food from the ocean is to protect more. And, as a bonus, it would provide a "cheap, natural solution" to climate change by reducing the amount of seafloor carbon emitted (排放) into the seas by fishing trawlers(拖网渔船) .
In the study, an international team of 26 scientists analyzed the world's unprotected ocean waters to calculate which are threatened by overfishing, habitat destruction, and release of carbon. The team then mapped locations globally where protections would provide the greatest benefits to fish resources, biodiversity and climate.
The findings can be used by nations to address the three related aspects separately or in combination.Fully addressing all three will require that at least 30% of the oceans be protected, but nations can stillrealize significant protections by focusing on key areas, and global cooperation to strategically locate protected areas can be nearly twice as effective as individual nations working alone.
28. What are the first two paragraphs mainly about
A. The wide support for the campaign.
B. The challenges of protecting the oceans.
C. The worldwide efforts to resist illegal fishing.
D. The achievements in reducing ocean pollution.
29. Which is not the benefit of restoring oceans
A. It keeps sea species stable.
B. It improves the global climate.
C. It belps to increase fish population.
D. It removes carbon from the seafloor.
30. What is the purpose of the text
A. To discuss the methods of fishing sustainably.
B. To stress the importance of biological balance.
C. To appeal for building ocean protected areas globally.
D. To introduce the background of the "30 by 30" campaign.
31. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A. Environment. B. Geography. C. Travel. D. Economy.

One of the most recognizable symbols of Scotland is the kilt (百褶裙). Resembling knee-length skirts,kilts originated in the 16th century as a common form of clothing for men and boys living in an area of northern Scotland known as the Scotish Highlands. A special feature of kilts, even to this day, is the plaid(格子呢) patterns. These patterns were historically related to specific clans, which are family groups that share a relationship through ancestry or some other connections. Known as tartans (方格花纹), the plaid patterns are of various colors. Because of their popularity in the Scottish Highlands, the wearing of kilts and any tartan pattern in general was banned from 1746 to 1782 to try to control clans from that region that were opposed to the king at the time. After clans were no longer considered a threat to the king, the clothing ban was removed.
Although the removal of the ban meant people could once again wear kilts with their clan's tartan, they did not become the regular dress of males there. Instead, they came to represent a traditional form of clothing, and be symbolic of national pride. Tartans of all types can be seen on show all over the world on April 6, Tartan Day, when people of Scottish ancestry celebrate their cultural treasure. Tartan Day originated in Canada in the mid-1980s. It spread to other communities of the Scottish diaspora in the 1990s.
Nowadays, tartans have been specifically created for individuals, families, institutions, and companies.Perhaps the best-known example of a tartan used by a company is that of the British company Burberry.Burberry has used tartans on a variety of products, including scarves, handbags, clothing, and other accessories. Although in 2019, Burberry announced it would reduce the numnber of products it produced to focus more on handbags as a way to increase profits, their iconic tartan continues to be a symbol of high fashion,

Most of us have dreamed of being a great inventor to create something great. However, just because someone's invented something, it doesn't mean that they're happy with the end result.
Albert Einstein-- The Atomic Bomb
It's Albert Einstein's work that made the creation of the atomic bomb possible. However, years later Einstein regretted having signed a letter to President Roosevelt urging him to support the research into nuclear chain reactions, because he believed the Germans were already working on it. " Had I known that the Germans would not succeed in producing an atomic bomb, ” he said, “I would have never lifted a finger. ”
Ethan Zuckerman-- The Pop-up Advertisement
If you've ever found yourself yelling at your computer screen in frustration as yet another pop-up ad leaps into view, Zuckerman is the person to blame. "The business model that got us funded was advertising. The model was analyzing users' personal homepages so we could better target ads to them. Along the way, we ended up creating one of the most hated tools in the advertiser's toolkit: the pop-up ad, ” Zuckerman explained.
Bob Propst---The Office Cubicle （隔间）
In the 1960s, Bob Propst introduced the office cubicle to Americans. It was designed to “give knowledge workers a more flexible environment than the rat-maze boxes of offices ”. Companies saw his invention as a way to save money, doing away with individual offices and replacing them with open plans and cubicles. However, Propst came to complain his invention. “The cubiclizing of people in modem corporations is extremely mad and stupid, ” he said.

For most children, bath time is fun. But four-year-old Harry Floyd used to have a very different experience - soon after climbing into the water he felt itchy from head to foot.
Harry first started to develop small itchy bumps on the skin at three months old. He woke at 3 a. m. and was covered in the bumps, but they cleared up within an hour. When Harry’s mother Lisa got him to the doctor, there was nothing to see. Lisa initially thought it was the soap that Harry was allergic to, but even when she just used water to bathe him he would still get the bumps. Lisa was then alarmed to see that when the weather was really cold or hot Harry would start to get them. Within a few minutes they would spread over his body. He’d just scream and try to scratch them.
Lisa and her husband Eddie took Harry to the doctor many times over the next year, but were told it was simply a virus and the condition wouldn't affect his older brother, Oliver. At six months Harry was diagnosed with several food allergies，which doctors thought might have caused the bumps. But Harry continued to get the bumps even after shunning those foods. Out of desperation, the family took Harry to Great Ormond Street Hospital to see a private specialist. By coincidence, Harry got the bumps when they were waiting to see the consultant. So the consultant saw exactly how severe it was. And Harry was diagnosed with physical urticaria (荨麻疹), a skin allergy to a host of common triggers. Since the diagnosis, Harry’ s condition has greatly improved.
The cause of physical urticaria is still a mystery. Genetics may play a role and stress has been seen as a trigger. From newborn babies to the old are likely to suffer from it. Recent research suggests around one million people in Britain suffer from the condition, although experts say this may be inaccurate, with many more going undiagnosed.
24. Why does Harry’ s problem remain unsolved at the first time
A. Lisa was unsure about the triggers.
B. His symptoms disappeared in a short time.
C. Hospital equipment was not advanced.

D. Physical urticaria can start at any age.
27. What does the text mainly talk about
A. A little boy suffering from a terrible skin allergy.
B. A family seeking treatment for their injured kid.
C. The possible causes of physical urticaria.
D. The symptoms of a rare disease.

I have frequently taught Research Methods and Design to college students at several institutions. I love teaching this course. One reason, of course, is that I enjoy thinking about research methodology and sharing it with others. The other reason, however, is the obvious impact that it has on students. Every term, one (if not more) student tells me how taking this course has affected him/her: “I used to just read articles and believe what they said, but now I find myself asking ‘Is this true How do they know Is this a well designed study ” That is what I want the students to achieve in this course.
This brings to mind something written by Dorothy L. Sayers in 1948. One of her books, The Lost Tools of Learning speaks to Sayers’ thoughts on education. “By teaching our young men and women to read, we have left them at the mercy of the printed words. By the invention of the film and the radio,we have made certain that no dislike for reading shall protect them from the constant battery of words, words, words. They do not know what the words mean: they are victims to words in their emotions instead of being the masters of them in their intelligence.”
We are well past the 1940s, but her observation is still relevant. Sayers’ point is well taken. In the world of 24-hour news and social media that often resembles the Wild West, the ability to carry out evaluations has never been more important. In order to resist the distortions with which we are constantly bombed in the media, as well as be able to present a persuasive argument, we must be able to reason well, and think and give a judgement carefully.
When my students begin the Research Methods and Design course, they are generally not content to read all those research article I give. However, by the end of the course, they are excited about their newly obtained abilities.
28. What is the author’s course goal for her students
A. Designing studies well. B. Reading deeply.
C. Thinking critically. D. Questioning themselves.
29. What did Sayers imply about education
A. It was boring. B. It was useless. C. It was conventional. D. It was worrying.
30. What does the underlined word “distortions” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. Popular news. B. Misleading information.
C. Persuasive arguments. D. Various evaluations.
31. Why does the author write the text
A. To suggest a practical skill B. To introduce a writer.
C. To review a book. D. To criticize social media.
D
By examining tiny vessels inside a person’s eyes, doctors might one day be able to predict that person’s risk of early death, according to a new study.
Past research had shown the retina (视网膜), light-sensitive layers of nerve tissue at the back of the eye, as a possible indicator of a person’s biological age. The retina offers a unique, accessible “window” to evaluate underlying pathological (病理的) processes of some serious diseases that are associated with increased risks of death. In the new study, the researchers turned to a deep-learning technique that could predict a person’s risk of death by analyzing the biological age of the retina.
Their deep-learning model, a type of machine learning and artificial intelligence that’s modeled to learn similar to a human brain, analyzed more than 80.000 images of fundus (眼底) - the internal back surface of the eye that includes the retina. They obtained the images from nearly 47.000 people between the ages of 40 and 69, stored in the UK. Biobank. To figure out whether their model was accurate, they first analyzed more than 19,000 fundus images taken from more than 1,100 participants who were in relatively good health. The idea was that the retinal biological ages of these people should be fairly similar to their chronological age (实际年龄) .
The model was fairly accurate in predicting retinal ages, with an accuracy of within 3.5 years to chronological ages. They then used the model to assess the remaining nearly 36,000 participants’ fundus photos collected across a span of 11 years. They found that 51 percent of the participants had a “retinal age gap” - the difference between biological and chronological age - of more than 3 years, 28 percent had a gap of more than 5 years and 4.5 percent had a gap of more than 10 years. In other words, these participants had “older” eyes compared to their chronological age.
Those who had larger age gaps had a 49-67 percent higher risk of death from causes other than cardiovascular disease or cancer. With every one year increase in the age gap, the risk of death increased by 2 percent for any cause and 3 percent for causes other than cardiovascular disease and cancer.
32.What can we know about the retina
A. It causes serious diseases. B. It improves people’s physical health.
C. It speeds pathological processes. D. It indicates the risk of death.
33. How do researchers know the retinal age
A. By examining the nerve tissue. B. By analyzing fundus images.
C. By checking the eyesight. D. By studying the human brain.
34. What percentage of the participants had the largest retinal age gap
A. 3.5%. B. 4.5%. C. 28%. D. 51%
35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Eyes may reveal a person’s biological age B. Image technology is used to predict diseases
C. A new study is conducted on tiny vessels D. A deep-leaning on the retina is necessary

Back from the beach I found an envelope on the doorstep. It was the fifth envelope with my latest photographs. This time I decided to check with the hotel reception.
At the reception desk, a middle aged man introduced himself, “Hello, Ms. Drew. I am
Benson... residing at Room No. 14...I put the envelopes...
“What the hell How can you click my snap..." I was interrupted by him signaling to walk with him. We silently arrived at Room No.14. A fair, curly haired, ten year old girl opened the door.
“This is my daughter Agnes ... She snapped your photographs."
She smiled bitterly at me and told me I reminded her of her lost mom.
I replied, “ It's all right honey, if that can make you happy ....”
Day-to-day evening walks made the bond warmer and stronger. Agnes saw her mother in me and I reverted (回复) the feelings abundantly. After a week I left as my work in the city had got over. A tearful Agnes bid me goodbye promising in touch.
Each season Agnes greeted me with long mails about "her school", "her vacation with dad", "her new year" and much more. The maternal (母亲般的) bond sustained for three years until all my letters were suddenly unanswered. I wondered what could be the reason.
One day my husband came with a plan for the weekend. Then unconsciously we drove down to the beach road heading to the h6ut where I met Agnes. A group of girls walled to the seaside accompanied by two elderly ladies who looked like their caretakers. A little girl who sat all alone caught my attention. She looked familiar but thin, dark and her face was full of scars (伤疤).
“Agnes... how come What happened to you ”
Her tearful blue eyes looked sunken with grief. One of the caretakers told me that a car accident had killed her dad and this was the first time she responded to any other individual.

A new test for COVID-19 is coming to store shelves throughout the U.S. This is the first test for the disease that you can do at home. It does not need a prescription, or doctor's approval, to use.
Currently, the U.S. is testing nearly 2 million people daily, and most health experts agree the country needs to be testing many more people than that. Most tests still require a nasal swab (鼻拭子) performed by a health professional, followed by processing at a laboratory. That typically means you have to wait days for the test results.
For months, health experts have stressed the need for fast, widespread home testing, which allows people to screen themselves and avoid contact with others if they have an infection. With this new home test, people can “swab their nose, run the test and find out their results in as little as 20 minutes," said FDA commissioner Stephen Hahn.
The test kit includes a small tool to help you to take nasal swab, or sample from inside your nose. Once you swab your nostril (鼻孔) you place the swab onto a small cartridge. This cartridge analyzes the sample and sends the results to an app on your smartphone. The app displays the results and then helps you interpret them. Users can also connect with a health professional through the app.
Ellume's test works differently than other tests. Most tests look for the genetic material of the virus. This is the material that hakes up its genes, which influence how the virus looks and acts. However, Ellume's test looks for proteins that the virus sheds (散发). These viral proteins are large molecules that can trigger a response from your immune system, which is the collection of cells and their responses that help the body fight off infections.
Like other COVID-19 tests that look for proteins, Ellume's test still has a shall chance of errors. FDA officials say that people who get a negative result but still have coronavirus symptoms should follow up with a doctor.
Although the price of the test could prevent some people from using it, Dr. Michael Mina, a professor at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, called the new test “a great addition” to existing options.
28. What is the problem with current testing in the U.S.
A. It is not efficient enough. B. It leads to poor management.
C. It based on nasal swabs. D. It results in outbreak of virus.
29. What is the right procedure for home testing
a. analyze the sample
b. send the result to an app
c. take a nasal swab
d. place the swab on a cartridge
e. interpret the result
A. cadbe. B. cdabe. C. dcbae. D. dcabe.
30. What is a negative factor of the new test
A. It's unaffordable for some people.
B. It has a great chance of errors.
C. It's an addition to existing options.
D. It causes people to get infected.
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Smartphone apps for analysis.
B. A tool for taking Nasal swab.
C. More options for recovering.
D. Home test for COVID-19.

The proverb “Work is worship (热爱,崇拜)” emphasizes the importance of work in our life. It states that doing work must be the real worship of the life of every human being.
Human beings are considered the most important entity (独立存在体) in this universe because we are blessed with brains and intelligence. The brain provides the power to think and understand about different things in the world. We all have some purpose in our lives and doing work helps in achieving the purpose of our lives.
It is very important for all the students to understand the importance of work. This stage is very important in every person's life. The habit that is developed at this age is continued till death. If the students learn to work in this stage they continue the same in future too. For the students, real worship is not the worshiping of god but doing their studies in a sincere way. They need to do regular studies with proper concentration every day.
The students who are attentive and do their work sincerely are rewarded with good marks while the lazy students who avoid doing their work suffer later in their lives. This is because there is no substitute (代替) for hard work. Hard working students grow up to became good citizens of society and the nation in future. Work teaches the students to be disciplined in their life.
Every day we hear of new inventions and achievements made by the people in the world. It could not be possible if the people would not have done their work sincerely. Our history is shining bright because of the great deeds of some great personalities. This is also because of the people who considered their work as worship and performed it honestly. Such people never ran away from doing work. They would not be able to make their names shine in history without hard work. Thus, it can be stated that every success has a big struggle and dedication behind it. People who worship their work can achieve great heights in their life.
“Work is worship." is a popular quote to make people understand the importance of work in everyone's life. The one who understands the importance of the work does it properly without thinking of the fruit. The fruit will surely be sweet if the effort is honest.

24.根据上文"a direct-to-driver" (直接将食物送到司机手中)根据下文"the new approach allows the burger chain tocapitalize on a time of day in which the city's terrible trffic typically slows business. "This was an opportunity for Burger King to
generate new profts out of those hungry drivers," (新的方法使汉堡连锁店能够利用一天中城市糟糕的交通 通常会减慢生意的这段时间。对于Burger King来说，这是一个从饥饿的司机身上获取新利润的机会)由此可知, Traffc Jam Whopper指的是一项允许司机将食物直接送到车上的计划。
25.根据第三段the new approach allows the burger chain to capitalize on a time of day in which the city's terrible traffc typically slows business. "This was an opportunity for Burger King to generate new profits out of those hungry drivers," (新的方法使汉堡连锁店能够利用一天中城市糟糕的交通通 常会减慢生意的这段时间。“对于Burger King来说，这是一个从饥饿的司机身上获取新利润的机会)。由此可知，Burger King发起了Trafic Jam Whopper主要目的是增加利润。
26.根据倒数第三段"Customers can only place an order if the app determines that the driver will be locked in traff for at least 30 minutes and they are within a 1.8-mile distance of a Burger King restaurant, the company said." (该公司表示顾客只有在应用程序确定司机将在交通堵塞中至少30分钟，而且他们距离汉堡王餐厅1.8英里以内的情况下，才能下订单，)根据倒数第二段" making sure real-time geolocation data was accurate enough, and the creation of a hands-free way to take
orders on cellphones in a country that has adopted serious punishment for drivers who use cellphones behind the wheel." (确保实时的地理定位数据足够准确，并创造了一种免提的方式来接受手机订单，在这个国家，对开车使用手机的司机采取了严厉的惩罚措施。) 由此判断出，技术障碍可能会阻碍交通堵塞中运送餐食的过程。
27.根据最后一段"Though the company did not offer a timeline, Burger King says it expects to roll out the Traffc Jam Whopper in other overcrowded cities, such as Los Angeles, Sao Paulo and Shanghai." (尽管Burger King没有提供时间表，但它

28.根据文章第一-段"The "30 by 30" campaign to protect 30% of the world's
oceans by 2030, ..only 2.7% are highly protected." (由70多 个国家支持的“30 by 30" 运动旨在到2030年保护世界30%的海洋。迄今为止，该运动以雄心勃勃而闻名，但收效甚微。只有7%的海洋受到了保护，只有2.7%受到了高度保护。)第二段"Setting aside nearly a third of the oceans, ... and the gap between
conservationists and fishers has grown wider as fish population declines and the
appetite for seafood grows along with the global population." (渔民们说，留出近三分之一的海洋是南美和其他地区的发展中国家难以承受的。这种反对大规模扩大海洋保护区的论调在全世界都能听到，随着鱼类数量的减少，对海产品的需求随着全球数量的增长而增长，自然资源保护主义者和渔民之间的差距越来越大。)由此可知前两段主要讲保护海洋运动收效甚微，并且南美和很多地方反对大规模扩大海洋保护区，因此前两段描述的是保护海洋运动面临的问题。
29.根据第三段“The study suggests that protecting 30% of the oceans not only
could restore biodiversity to ocean habitats, it could also increase the annual global
catch by eight million tons about 10% of the catch today. After all, the only way to get
more food from the ocean is to protect more.And, as a bonus, it would provide a "cheap,natural solution" to climate change byreducing the amount of seafloor carbon
emitted (排放) into the seas by fishing trawlers (拖网渔船) ”(这项研究表明，保
护30%的海洋不仅可以恢复海洋栖息地的生物多样性，还可以使全球年捕鱼量增加800万吨，约为目前捕鱼量的10%。毕竟，从海洋中获取更多食物的唯一方 法就是保护更多的海洋。此外，作为奖励，它将通过减少拖网渔船排放到海洋中的海底碳量，为气候变化提供一种“廉价、自然的解决方案”。)由此可知，恢复海洋的好处包括恢复海洋栖息地的生物多样性，捕鱼量上涨，减少排放的碳量，改善气候。
30.根据文章第一段"The "30 by 30"campaign to protect 30% of the world's oceans by 2030, ..only 2.7% are highly protected."(由70多个国家支持的“30 by30"运动旨在到2030年保护世界30%的海洋。迄今为止，该运动以雄心勃勃而闻名，但收效甚微。只有7%的海洋受到了保护，只有2.7%受到了高度保护。)以及最后一段“Fully addressing all three will require that at least 30% of the oceans be protected, but nations can still realize significant protections by focusing on key areas, and global cooperation to strategically locate protected areas can be nearly twice as effective as individual nations working alone." (全面解决这三个问题需要至少30%的海洋得到保护，但各国仍然可以通过关注关键领域来实现重大保护，而且在战略上确定保护区的全球合作可以比各国单独行动的效果高出近一倍。)由此可知，文章主要是为了呼吁全世界建立海洋保护区域。
31.根据文章描述可知主要讲述"30 by 30"保护世界30%的海洋的运动收效甚微以
及面临的问题，并给出保护世界30%的海洋的运动会带来很多益处，呼吁全世界扩大海洋保护区域，所以这是一篇关于环保的文章，最可

34.A根据最后一段中的Nowadays, tartans have been
specifically created for individuals, families,institutions, and companies. Perhaps the best-known example of a tartan used by a company is that of the British company Burberry. 可推知，作者提到该公司是为了证明方格花纹的流行。
35.D 文章主要介绍了苏格兰最著名的标志之短褶裙。短褶裙的一个特点就是格子图案。短褶裙代表了一种传统的服装形式,是民族自豪感的象征。方格花纹如今也非常流行,是高级时尚的象征。结合文章大意可知,D选项“短褶裙和方格花纹”最适合作文章标题。
