At a time of great conflict,stress,and uncertainty in the U.S,Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away due to cancer on September 18,2020,sending her supporters into a state of shock.
Ginsburg,a beloved figure who was famous for her historic career,became a symbol for justice and dignity.Ruth Ginsburg was born on March 15,1933 in Brooklyn,New York.She received her bachelor degree in government from Cornell University and began her law degree at Harvard University.She later transferred and completed her degree at Columbia Law School.She took on a clerkship for Judge Edmond in 1960,and between 1961 and 1963 she served as a research associate and associate director of the Columbia Law School on International Procedure.
Ginsburg took a very active role in women' s rights between 1963 and 1978. During these years,between accepting teaching positions at Tulane,Rutgers,and Columbia schools of law,she co-founded the Women' s Rights Law Reporter and the Women' s Rights Project at the American Civil Liberties Union.She began serving as the ACLU' s General Counsel in 1973,and argued several cases relating to women' s rights.For example,in the 1971 case Reed v.Reed,the Supreme Court allowed women to fall under the Equal Protection Clause for the first time.
Ginsburg was appointed to be the U.S.Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit by President Jimmy Carter in 1980,where she served for 13 years.Former President Bill Clinton nominated Ginsburg to the Supreme Court in 1993,who was the second woman to become a Supreme Court Justice.Before being nominated,she was a prominent women' s rights advocate who fought for equal rights and constitutional protections against sex discrimination.

China is determined to land its astronauts on the moon and set up a scientific station there, according to a project leader.
Zhou Yanfei, deputy chief designer of China's manned space program, said on Friday that China wishes to use the manned lunar missions to carry out scientific surveys and technology demonstrations, explore ways to develop lunar resources and strengthen the nation's space capabilities.
＂A new wave of lunar explorations has been emerging in the world, with participants aiming to make sustainable missions to deepen knowledge of the moon and exploit resources there," he said in a report delivered at the 2020 China Space Conference in Fuzhou, Fujian province."Unlike other nations, China must depend on its own science and technology to realize our goals."
The country is independently able to land its astronauts on the moon because it has the technologies, a group of well-trained, innovative professionals and high-efficiency research and management systems, Zhou said."However, our existing carrier rockets can't perform landing missions to the moon because they are not powerful enough.The Shenzhou- series manned spaceships are not suitable for lunar expeditions.We don't have a lunar landing capsule,"he said."Our ground support system was designed for operations in low-Earth orbit rather than on the lunar surface.
To solve the problem,we set out to produce a powerful launch vehicle. Zhou said researchers thought about two approaches-making a new heavy-lift rocket,or adjusting the next-generation rocket designed to carry astronauts,which is under development.Researchers prefer the latter approach because it would be easier to design and make and would become operational earlier.
The new rocket is being designed at the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology.Its main body will be 87 meters tall,with a diameter of 5 meters,which would make it almost twice as tall as the Long March 5,currently the biggest of China's rockets.
28.Which is NOT the goal of the manned lunar mission
A.To explore lunar resources.
B.To perform scientific experiments.
C.To set up a scientific station.
D.To strengthen the national space power.
29.What is the main idea of paragraph 4
A.China is not capable of pursuing the manned lunar program.
B.There are still difficulties in pursuing the manned lunar program.
C.There are a series of steps in the Manned Lunar program.
D.It is manageable to carry out the Manned Lunar program.
30.What can we infer from the passage
A.Nations must depend on themselves to explore the moon.
B.The Long March 5 is the biggest of China's rocket.
C.The newly-designed rocket will not carry astronauts.
D. Producing a powerful launch vehicle is the most difficult part in the program.
31.What do the figures in the last paragraph imply
A.The new rocket is big enough to perform landing missions.
B.The new rocket is being made to launch lunar spaceship.
C.China's scientific power has improved.
D.The new rocket will be put into use soon.
D
Fear, anxiety, panic-those are the words Elaine Peng used to describe the state of her service's recipients(接受者）who are fighting mental health problems through lectures and support groups on WeChat. President Donald Trump's transaction(交易）ban on the social networking app has worsened their emotional state.
Since Peng founded the organization in 2013 with the mission of raising mental health awareness within the Chinese community,she has gradually built up her network.Now she has two WeChat groups of more than 500 people,including service recipients and volunteers.
Peng said,"WeChat is the organization's primary communications tool because it is much friendlier than other US-developed apps.We also respond to emergency situations through WeChat.For instance,we recently rescued a patient from a parking lot,using the app's real-time location feature,where his condition suddenly worsened and he didn't know where he was,"she said.
Seeing that her group's mission and operation will be affected in a significant way,Peng joined a legal challenge filed by the nonprofit US WeChat Users Alliance,seeking to block the ban.The presidential executive order does not define the word"transaction",and Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross has not defined which particular transactions would be illegal.Ross may issue the definitions by Sunday,or he may not say anything for a long time,but the situation is already harming people who depend on WeChat.If the judge does not prevent the order from taking effect,then the law goes into effect Sunday,and no one knows exactly what it means.
WeChat has roughly 19 million daily active users in the US,most of them of Chinese descent, according to the complaint filed by the plaintiffs(原告）last month.The lawsuit argues that the order is illegal because it violates(侵犯）users' free speech rights. It also argues that the ban targeted Chinese Americans, who rely on the app for work, worship and staying in touch with relatives in China.
32.In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A.Entertainment.
B.Science.
C.Education.
D.News brief.
33.What is the purpose of the organization founded by Peng
A.To arouse mental health awareness.
B.To build up her network.
C.To provide service for recipients.
D.To keep in touch with relatives.
34.What was author's attitude towards WeChat according to the article
A.Subjective
B.Objective
C.Indifferent
D.Doubtful
35.What is the best title of this passage
A.Wechat ban-users' expectation
B.Wechat ban-users' demand
C.Wechat ban-users' concern
D.Wechat ban-users' disaster

When Michael Martin was going to do his normal shopping at a Smart & Final store in Sacramento, California with his family, curiosity made him stop in front of a man sitting outside. It's no wonder to see some homeless people outside different stores, but this man seemed different. He was sitting on his sleeping bag with his resumes (个人简历）and a sign that read "need work and food".
The man was named Frederic Callison, 52 and a former cook.He came to Sacramento two years ago from Washington in the hope of getting a job as a cook. His plans were stopped and he ended up in this unexpected way ever since. Smart&Final allowed him to stay near the store, as he helped them to push carts for free.
But he would not like to ask for money like most of the homeless people.Instead, he decided to use the place as an active job-hunting to change his difficult circumstances. So he made the sign. This was not just words, as his Social Security number and ID were also kept handy. All the documents showed his serious intentions to find work.
Martin was amazed by such preparations and asked the man for his resumes. Without hesitation, Callison handed one to him. The resume, which was well-written and had a striking resume headline, claimed that he was a fine cook. Then he began telling Martin about his qualification and work experiences. It was like a real interview, but not so intense and strict.
Martin was impressed and inspired by Callison's will and efforts to work. He totally understood the situation of Callison. Efforts and determination of Callison were worth respect, as it was really a difficult goal.
Paragraph 1:
Michael Martin decided to do what he could to help the homeless man. ______________
