My US History teacher had just finished his lesson. He sat back in his armchair comfortably, and asked: “Was there anybody doing anything interesting yesterday?” “I drew a panda, which was awesome!” a girl beside me shouted, and a burst of laughter followed. Then, the talk developed rapidly. Someone said he had received his learners driving permit, while another mentioned that she had spent the first salary from her part-time job. Everybody seemed to have something to say. Although there was a range of people, from different ethnic (种族的) backgrounds, people seemed to feel at home with each other. Not me. I stayed aloof from the discussion. I skimmed my notes until I looked up to see another teacher come in and share some cookies he had made yesterday. The beautifully baked cookies sent out an appetizing smell, which made it impossible to concentrate on my work any longer. However, my seat was in the back row, and I was too shy to stand up and take a cookie for myself.“Go ahead and grab one!” It was the history teacher, “If you dont stand up, nobody is gonna feed you!” I was still hesitant (犹豫的), but I got up and took a cookie with some other classmates. Now I felt more at ease. We laughed about how “greedy ” we were. “Here you go,” my teacher smiled. “This is the United States of America you should believe in.” Walking in the hallway a couple of days later, a girl came up and said hi. “Do you remember the cute panda I drew the other day?” She asked. “Absolutely, it was awesome!” I knew I had made my first new friend in a world full of strangers.The cookie “crisis” had taught me a lesson. I would have to be less shy in the United States. Here was a mixed and various culture, and if I wanted to get anywhere I would have to brave its newness and difference and make myself heard, just as the teacher had said. Otherwise, “nobody is gonna feed you.” It was something a person new to the US, such as myself, needed to learn.31.When asked about what they had done the day before,_.A. most students were silentB. the class came aliveC. the writer felt at homeD. the writer mentioned his part-time job32.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. The writers history teacher shared his homemade cookies with the students.B. The cookies the teacher made were a kind of traditional American food.C. When the writer hesitated to take a cookie, his teacher passed one onto him.D. With the teachers encouragement, the writer went to take a cookie.33.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the writer will _.A. begin to take an interest in drawingB. learn how to make cookies from his teacherC. become less shy and more sociableD. find it hard to fit in with his classmates34.Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?A. Experiencing a mixed and various cultureB. Nobody is going to feed youC. My first lessonD.A great history teacherBDays of high temperatures are the most deadly weather phenomenon on Earth, but like other extreme weather events, they are difficult to predict.Across Europe in 2020, heat waves were blamed for 50,000 deaths. Six hundred lives were lost in California in 2020 because of the burning hot weather.Now scientists have identified a weather pattern in the atmosphere that may help experts predict heat waves and, as a result, save lives.While prior studies have focused on land or sea surface conditions to try to identify patterns that precede(走在前面）heat waves, climate scientists Haiyan Teng turned her attention to the atmosphere.She and colleagues at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, ran a 12,000-year computer simulation(模拟）over the northern hemisphere.“Instead of just 20 or 30 from the last 50 years of observations, weve got 6,000 extreme heat wave events,” she said. “ This gives us enough samples to study the previous circulation patterns(环流模式） for these heat waves.”Teng says the computer model identified a pattern that showed up before the temperature rose. It is characterized by a series of alternating high and low pressure systems-five of each- circling the northern latitudes.“Its high above the atmosphere in the upper troposphere(双流层） and this pattern precedes the U.S. heat waves by two weeks,” she said.While the pattern is well documented in the historic record, this is the first time that it has been connected to extreme heat waves. When the scientists reviewed real heat waves in the United States dating back to 1948, a similar pattern often appeared.“ We think, this pattern is a pattern in nature, and it is useful for the heat wave forecast, It is an estimate of the probability, not exactly how warm the temperature is going to be,” Teng said.35. Some figures are used in Paragraph 2 to _.Acall readers attentionBmake writing vividCprove the research into natureDshow the bad impact of heat waves36. Discovering the weather pattern may _.Ahelp us know about weather changesBhelp experts prevent extreme weatherChelp prevent people dying from disastersDhelp experts make exact weather forecasts37The underlined word “prior” in Paragraph 4 probably means _.Acurrent Bprevious Clatter Dother38The best title of the text would be_.AClimate Scientist Haiyan TengBBreakthrough in Weather ForecastsCResearch into Heat WavesDScientists Identify Ways to Predict Heat WavesCNo more movies!?YES! More movies!You have helped us upgrade our projector system to digital!By the end of 2020, we will no longer be able to show film movies at the Kent Theater!Due to changes in the industry, movie distributors will no longer provide film versions of any movies. Only digital versions will be available.That means the 1,200+ adults and children who come to see a movie each month at the Kent Theatre will have nothing to see, except a blank white screen.Unless we replace our projection system, well have to cancel the “movie reward” program developed with our schools and local library that was designed to encourage kids to read by giving them a free trip to the theatre and movie based on reaching reading goals.However, replacing our projection system creates a huge problem for a non-profit institute like the Kent Theatre. While the new system will save volunteers time, reduce per-movie costs, and have less impact on the environment (no trucks for shipping and no shipping fees), the investment is huge.We have to replace our film projector with an entirely new $ 60,000 digital projection and sound system!Weve already raised $20,000 towards the goal. We still have a long way to go, so we need your help! Every tax-free gift of $ 25, or $ 50 will help us keep showing movies for $ 3 per person and allow us to keep serving the community.How can you help?

DSending the cash by post.DThe extraordinary Eastgate Building in Harare, Zimbabwes capital city, is said to be the only one in the world to use the same cooling and heating principles as the termite mound(白蚁堆). Architect Mick Pearce used precisely the same strategy when designing the Eastgate Building, which has no air-conditioning and almost no heating. The buildingthe countrys largest commercial and shopping complexuses less than 10% of the energy of a conventional building of its size. The Eastgates owners saved $3.5 million on a $36 million building because an air-conditioning plant didnt have to be imported. The complex is actually two buildings linked by bridges across a shady, glass-roofed atrium(天井) open to the air. Fans suck fresh air in from the atrium, blow it upstairs through hollow spaces under the floors and from there into each office through baseboard vents(通风口). As it rises and warms, it is drawn out via ceiling vents and finally exists through forty-eight brick chimneys. During summers cool nights, big fans blow air through the building seven times an hour to cool the empty floors. By day, smaller fans blow two changes of air an hour through the building, to circulate the air which has been in contact with the cool floors. For winter days, there are small heaters in the vents. This is all possible only because Harare is 1600 feet above sea level, has cloudless skies, little dampness and rapid temperature swingsdays as warm as 31 commonly drop to 14 at night. “You couldnt do this in New York, with its fantastically hot summers and fantastically cold winters,” Pearce said. The engineering firm of Ove Arup&Partners monitors daily temperatures. It is found that the temperature of the building has generally stayed between 23 and 25, with the exception of the annual hot period just before the summer rains in October and three days in November, when a doorkeeper accidentally switched off the fans at night. And the air is freshfar more so than in air-conditioned buildings, where up to 30% of the air is recycled.43.Why was Eastgate cheaper to be built than a conventional building? A. It was designed in a smaller size. B. No air conditioners were fixed in. C. Its heating system was less advanced. D. It used rather different building materials.44. What does “it” refer to in Paragraph 3? A. Fresh air from outside. B. Heat in the building. C. Hollow space. D. Baseboard vent. 45. Why would a building like Eastgate Not work efficiently in New York? A. New York has less clear skies as Harare. B. Its dampness affects the circulation of air. C. New York covers a larger area than Harare. D. Its temperature changes seasonally rather than daily.46. The data in the last paragraph suggests Eastgates temperature control system_. A. allows a wide range of temperatures B. functions well for most of the year C. can recycle up to 30% of the air D. works better in hot seasonsEIs the “Go to College” Message Overdone?Even in a weak job market, the old college try isnt the answer for everyone. A briefing paper from the Brookings Institution warns that “we may have overdone the message” on college, senior fellow Isabel Sawhill said.“Weve been telling students and their families for years that college is the only way to succeed in the economy and of course theres a lot of truth to that,” Ms. Sawhill said. “On average it does pay off But if you load up on a whole lot of student debt and then you dont graduate, that is a very bad situation.”One comment that people often repeat among the years of slow job growth has been the value of education for landing a job and advancing in a career. Aprils national unemployment rate stood at 7.5%, according to the Labor Department. The unemployment rate for high-school graduates over 25 years old who hadnt attended college was 7.4%, compared with 3.9% for those with a bachelors degree or more education. The difference is even bigger among those aged 16-24. T
