You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years
Jane Addams (1860-1935)
Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rachel Carson (1907-1964)
If it weren`t of Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.
Sandra Day O`Connor (1930-present)
When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator (参议员) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks (1913-2005)
On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed herself in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott (抵制). It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. “The only thing I was tired of was giving in,” said Parks.

Animals that drink their mothers’ milk are called mammals. A mother bear’s milk is rich. Baby bears have milk for a few months. This is the same as baby zebras. As baby animals grow, they need solid (固体的) food. Baby lions eat what their mother can catch!

Handing your baby a phone or a tablet to play with may seem like a harmless solution when you’re busy, but it could actually affect their development, a new study has found.
Having anywhere from one to four hours of screen time per day at age l is linked with higher risks of developmental delays in communication skills, fine motor skills, personal and social skills,and problem-solving skills by age 2, according to a study of 7,097 children published in the journal JAMA Pediatrics. The study measured how many hours children used screens per day at age 1 and how they performed in these developmental domains (领域) at ages 2 and 4. Both measures were according to the mothers’ self-reports.
By age 2, those who had had up to four hours of screen time per day were up to 3 times more likely to experience developmental delays in communication and problem-solving skills. Those who had spent four or more hours with screens were 4.78 times more likely to have underdeveloped communication skills,1.74 times more likely to have poor performances in fine motor skills and two times more likely to have underdeveloped personal and social skills by age2. By age 4, risk remained only in the communication and problem-solving categories.
“One of the areas that is relatively understudied in the whole screen time literature is looking at the impacts of screen exposure on very young kids, especially when screens are introduced to babies,” said Dr. John Hutton, an associate professor of general and community pediatrics (儿科) at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. “It’s definitely a global concern, and I think the findings should really be applied to other countries as well.”
“Technology use can take time away from interpersonal relationships that develop social skills since real people are more multidimensional than characters on a screen.” Hutton added. Looking at people’s faces is when our brains turn on to figure out how to interact with them.
What does the new study focus on
A baby’s mental health. B. Children’s developmental skills.
C. A kid’s academic performance. D. Students’ creative abilities.
33. What is the main research method used in the study
A. Analyzing data. B. Giving examples.
C. Reviewing literature. D. Doing experiments.
34. What does Dr. John Hutton suggest
A. The impact of screen exposure should be studied.
B. The findings should be applied to certain countries.
C. Global attention should be paid to kids’ screen hours.
D. Screens should be introduced to more and more babies.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A．What Faults Can Be Found with Screens
B．What Difficulties A Young Kid Will Face
C．How Screens Change Academic Performance
D．How Screen Time Influences Kids’ Development

In 2016, I started working for the local company here in the community. I had to admit that the first day I walked into the office, I didn’t know what to expect, I was really 41 . The waiting area was dark and dusty. I remembered sitting in the chair and feeling breathless with the 42 of files and paperwork all over. I was worried about my 43 .
One day, my boss asked me what I thought could be done with the scenery outside next to the office window. I paused for a while, 44 what I could do with it. Then I had the perfect idea. I’d plant 45 there if that was okay. He told me it was up to me. So, I got to work.
It took me a good week to 46 the field, getting rid of the weeds. And I had to choose which type of sunflower to grow, as there were many different varieties. That was when I learned about all the different 47 of sunflowers! I planted different ones.
It only took about a week for the sunflowers to sprout (发芽). I made sure to 48 them every day and give them all the love I could. Before I 49 it, the sunflowers had grown big, some even bigger than me. Watching them grow big and follow the sun throughout the day filled me with 50 . I think part of my happiness is that I’ve grown them and help get them to be such beauties.
Every year, my sunflowers grow bigger, and so do my 51 . Eventually, I have fields of sunflowers and an excellent 52 in work. And it all 53 with just a seed. Well, a packet of seeds.

There are several reasons why school uniforms(校服) are a good idea. First of all, uniforms help the school look smart. The students feel that they belong to a particular group. When every pupil in the school wears the uniform, nobody will have to worry about fashion. Everybody wears 56 same style of clothes. Uniforms can be useful in unexpected ways. A school in Ireland has introduced an interesting new uniform. On the edge of the jacket, there is a piece of cloth 57 gives off light in the dark. When the children are walking or 58 (cycle) to school on dark mornings, car drivers can 59 (easy) see them.
But can uniforms help improve school standards The answer 60 this question is not clear. One study in America found that students’ grades improved a little after the school 61 (introduce) uniforms. But some students didn’t want 62 (wear) the uniform. Other American studies showed no 63 (connect) between uniforms and school performances. School uniforms are 64 (tradition) in Britain, but some schools are starting to get rid of them. Some very good schools don’t have a uniform policy. However, uniforms 65 (be) still popular. Pupils at about 90 percent of British secondary schools wear uniforms.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 续写的词数应为150左右。
Lately, I was deeply touched with two movies about faithful dogs：A Dog's Purpose and A Dog's Way Home. A dog's life cycled and cycled only to meet his first owner while the other covered 400 miles of toil and hunger all the way back to her home. I had a faithful dog too when I was a little girl, but it was a different story.
When my dad first took him home in a cardboard box, he was so quiet that I even doubted whether there was really a dog in it. When I peeped through two small holes on the side, I just saw a patch of grey fur. My dad assured me that it was just a small dog before I dared to open the box. There he was! What a lovely grey dog! He was slim and looked smart. I was on my knees as I cheerfully observed him. However, he tried to avoid eye contact with me, apparently a little scared with everything strange around. I wanted to pet his head but he only turned his head away.
When he became familiar with me, I called him Billy and he was really delighted, zagging his tail(摇尾巴). Every time I left for school, he saw me off. When I came back, he waited on my way home and greeted me with his licks and brushed his head against legs. When Billy was in the kitchen with my father, lying on a small heap of firewood side the furnace(灶), he could always know which piece of firewood my dad would pick and raised his paw in time. It always surprised me how intelligent and considerate Billy was. I imagined him turning into a small boy carrying my schoolbag for me and talking with my dad. With Billy brightening every day of my childhood, I was more than happy.
Paragraph 1：
But one day, Billy was seriously ill.

A few years later, I went to a dog's shelter to try my luck.
