The two happily began to sing the movies big song, “Let It Go,” and were soon joined by Tinker Bell four other fairy-tale princesses: Anna, Ariel, Jasmine, and Snow White. You would swear you were celebrating at the most magical place on earth.But this wasnt Disney World. It was the pediatric (儿科的) cancer ward at a hospital on Long Island in New York. And the princesses were college students who volunteer for A Moment of Magic, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to lift the spirits of sick children.Kylee McGrane, now 23 and her friend Maggie McAndrew, then both students on service scholarships at the College of Mount Saint Vincent in New York City, were searching for a new community project, ideally one with kids. That sparked an ideadressing up as Disney princesses and visiting pediatric cancer patients. “When kids are in a hospital for so long, they dont get all the magic that most kids do,” says McGrane. “Its nice to give them time to be themselves.”In 2020, after raising to pay for costumes and travel expenses, McGrane and McAndrew landed their first gig, at Cohen Childrens Medical Center in New Hyde Park, New York. They dressed as Elsa and her sister, Anna, to the delight of the girls and smiles from the boys. They spent nearly three hours singing songs, taking pictures, and traveling from one bedside to the next until they had visited and chatted with every one of the 50 children. “To see the kids believe in me, my character It was life-changing,” says McGrane.Of course, a princess can work only so many miracles at once, so McGrane and McAndrew recruited their peers.

And taking a look at the figures from college departments, it could be difficult to argue with that. However, one famous British university is trying to put an end to this theory. At Oxford University, math and computer science are two subjects that have big gaps in terms of grades between men and women. For example, just 21.2 percent of women taking math graduated with first-class degrees in 2020, compared to 45.5 percent of men, reported The Times. The university believes that female students are more likely to be affected by “time pressure”. So to solve this problem, female students at Oxford were given 15 minutes more than male students to finish their math and computer science exams in the summer of 2020. The decision came not long after the universitys history department allowed its female students to take exams at home in 2020, reported The Independent. The aim of that plan was also to close the gap between men and women in the subjects exam results. These changes were welcomed by some people, who saw them as a positive sign. However, others criticized the decisions, saying they suggest that females are the weaker sex. Indeed, research from the US Department of Education suggested that girls are as good at math-based subjects as boys are, reported news website Quartz in January. However, theyre prevented from cultivating an interest in math and science because of the bias (偏见) that women arent good at those subjects, a 2020 report by Forbes said. But according to Quartz, there are better ways to equalize education between the sexes, such as giving more resources to girls to help them fall in love with math and science. And for girls who think theyre bad at these subjects, it could all just be in their imagination. “The truth is, you probably are a math person, and by thinking otherwise, you are possibly hamstringing (破坏)your own career,” wrote The Atlantic.25. We can know from Paragraph 1 that_.A. There is a gap between the math abilities of males and females.B. According to some college departments, females got better grades than males in math .C. It is difficult to know whether males or females are more skilled in math .D. A British university doesnt believe females are the weaker in math and is trying to help solve the problem .26. Which of the following is not mentioned in the text?A. Who is more excellent in terms of grades in math and computer scienceB. Whether Oxford Universitys measures are effectiveC. What Oxford University did to improve females math gradesD. What we should do to equalize education between sexes27. What can be inferred from the text?A. Females need more time during the math examsB. Due to the bias that women arent good at math , females performed badly in math-basedsubjects.C. If developing an interest in math, females may be no worse than males.D. The more resources are given to females, the better grades they will get in the math exams.CAs a cherry-red electric car floats through the universe, a space-suited mannequin sits in the driving seat. The car and its passenger are actually the payload (有效载荷) of SpaceXs Falcon Heavy, the worlds most powerful rocket and they will orbit the sun for millions of years. The launch was referred to as the start of “a new space age”, on account of the enormous weight that Falcon Heavy can handle. Time reported that this “super heavy-lift launch vehicle” can carry more than 64,000 kilograms of cargo (货物) into low-Earth orbit. However, the launcher wasnt just designed for taking fake spacemen into orbit. SpaceX and its founder Elon Musk, 46, want to restart missions to the moon and to venture out to Mars. The heavier the craft (太空船) that can be sent into space, the more ambitious the missions can be. And if Falcon Heavy is anything to go by, it should be possible in the near future to send people to Mars, and all the things that wed need to settle there.In September 2020 in Australia, he shared his plans to put a million people on Mars in the next 40-100 years. That seems like a long time off, but he added that the beginnings of the colony (居住地) could be just a few years away. Musk believes there could be people on Mars in as soon as seven years time. For Musk, the next frontier for the human race is to settle on other planets. As he said in Australia, “Fundamentally, the future is vastly more exciting if were a spacefaring (宇宙飞行的) civilization and a multi-planet species than if were not.”28. which of the following statements is true according to the passage ?_.A. The cherry-red car can carry more than 64,000 kilograms of cargo into low-Earth orbit.B. A real spaceman sits in the driving seat of the carC. Falcon Heavy was considered important because it can carry huge weight into spaceD. Falcon Heavy wasnt designed for taking people into orbit29. The underlined word “ambitious” in Para 2 is closest in meaning to _.A. determinedB. aggressiveC. challengingD. powerful30. According to Elon Musk, we can infer that _.A. There will be a million people on Mars in seven years timeB. Falcon Heavy is expected to explore the moonC. Only if we are good at spacefaring on earth, we will enjoy a bright futureD. With Falcon Heavy , people are very likely to go to Mars and settle there第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。We all get confused at times, but prolonged periods of confusion can cause us to feel that we are stuck in a never-ending, foggy web of uncertainty. _31_Here is what you can do to overcome your confusion and find the joy:1.
