But exactly how do those laws get made? The process is not easy, and it takes a long time. A law begins when someone puts forward an idea. The idea can come from anyone, but it has to get to a U. S. lawmaker who wants it to become legislation. In time，the idea is further developed into a written proposal, called a bill. Then, a member of Congress officially proposes the bill. After the bill is introduced, it is sent to a small group of lawmakers, called a “committee”. Sometimes committee members seek more information about the proposal by holding hearings. Sometimes the committee changes the bill. Sometimes it decides not to take any action. In that case, we say lawmakers “table” the bill, or let it “die in committee”. But now and then, the bill is offered to lawmakers not on the committee. Those lawmakers debate the bill further. They might change the bill again. Finally* the full House or Senate votes on the bill. If it does not earn the majority of votes，the bill does not advance. Finally，the agreed-upon bill is sent to the president. If the president signs it, the bill becomes a law. If the president does nothing and Congress is officially meeting，the bill becomes a law. But if the president does nothing and Congress is not in session，the bill does not pass. Or the president can officially reject the bill If that happens，the bill is not stopped. Instead，it is returned to both the Senate and the House. If two- thirds of the senators and two-thirds of the House members approve the bill once again，even with the president objecting，they turn the bill into a law. 21.Who is the first to propose a bill? A. A lawyer B. A citizen. C.A member of Congress. D.A committee member. 22.When does a bill finally become a law? A.After it is sent to a committee. B.When the president signs it. C.After it returns to the Congress. D.While Congress is not in session. 23.What can be inferred from the text? A.Not every bill can be turned into a law. B.Anybody can put forward a proposal. C.If “tabled”，the bill has to be voted on. D.Once proposed, the bill cant be changed. B .Natalie Trayling is a famous street artist in Melbourne. At first, those who happened to pass by her and spare some change didnt even realize what a musical genius was playing. The emotional tune was not only masterfully played but also composed by Natalie herself when she was only 14. Gradually, as long as she appears, people will stop, absorbed in her music. Her music makes you think about calmness, the good things in life, and never giving up. But what people do not know is that behind the beautiful music of the old woman, it is full of bitterness. At the age of 12, she won a music scholarship at Santa Maria College. At 15 she knocked back a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music in London because her parents couldnt pay non-tuition costs. When she left school, she taught piano at Santa Maria. Later she met her husband, Denis. They had four children, but the two of them died. In 1984, Denis asked for a divorce. Natalies son, Nathan, was given medication for depression. Natalie lived either outdoors in Royal Park or in boarding houses for nine years. In late 2020 Natalie collapsed with anaemia(贫血) and was hospitalized for six months. For half a century, Natalie has been teased by fate. But even so, she never gave up her love for music. When asked why the music was so important to her, she said: “Music is everything. I do feel part of it. The whole world is music.” When Natalie went on the Internet, she became a sign of Melbourne. People are impressed by her persistence in dreams and the optimism of life. Now she is no longer wandering around. She can play the piano at any time, but as long as the weather is good, she will walk to the streets of Melbourne, and play a touching melody for the rush of the city. 24. Why is Natalies music so touching to the passers-by? A. It is full of bitterness. B. She composed it herself. C. Its a reflection of her own life. D. It reminds of the beauty of life. 25. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “knocked back” in Paragraph 2? A. gave up B. obtained C. accepted D. was awarded 26. What does music mean to Natalie? A. Its her hobby. B. Its the source of her misfortune. C. It is part of her life. D. Its a way to earn a living. 27. What does the author try to tell us? A. Natalie is a musical genius. B. Life is not easy for everyone. C. Never give up halfway. D. Natalie has a strong and brave heart. C During Amsterdams chaotic rush hour, nine-year-old Lotta Crok cycles to a very busy junction. “Look,” she says. “Theres traffic coming from everywhere. Four trams from four different directions. For a child on a bike thats really confusing!” Lotta is the first junior cycle mayor in the world and her working area is the Dutch capital. You would think this challenge would be superfluous in a city known as the bicycle capital of the world. The number of bicycles in Amsterdam is estimated at 881,000 more than the citys 850,000 inhabitants and 63% of the population cycle daily. But children who cycle in Amsterdam face challenges, Lotta says: “The three biggest problems for us are cars, cycling tourists and scooters (小型 摩托). The cars take up too much space, the tourists are always swinging side to side and stop when you least expect it, and the scooters simply run you over.” Lotta became junior cycle mayor in June last year when she won a contest in which schoolchildren were asked to come up with plans to make cycling safer and more fun. Her idea was to add childrens bikes to the popular bike share programme. Since Lotta was appointed junior cycle mayor, she has been busy, giving interviews, opening cycling contests in the city and being a jury（评 审员）member during the Amsterdam Light Parade, an event in which Amsterdammers decorate their bikes with lights. She is now planning a meeting with the citys mayor to discuss ideas that children have come up with: “One of our proposals is a bicycle park where children can learn how to cycle. Right now, most of us learn it in the street, which can be quite busy. Another idea is to create an app for tourists to teach them the rules of cycling, because most of them really dont know.” Following the success of the Amsterdam scheme, cycle mayors around the world are now planning to appoint junior colleagues. “They see it works really well,” Boerma, the senior major, says. “I talk to the parents, Lotta talks to the children. And if you look at the city through the eyes of a child, you will also make it accessible for others. A city thats good for an eight-year-old is also good for an 88-year-old.” 28. Why is a junior cycle mayor appointed in Amsterdam? A. To teach children how to ride. B. To ensure cycling is safer for children. C. To give suggestions to the citys mayor on how to run the city. D. To organize the cycling contests in the city. 29. Which word can best replace the underlined word “superfluous” in paragraph 2? A. Important B. Unnecessary C. Difficult D. Valuable 30. What has Lotta done since she became the bike mayor? A. She has solved the three biggest problems for children cycling in Amsterdam. B. She has won a contest about cycling. C. She has given interviews and been a jury member during a parade. D. She has given proposals to the city mayor. 31. What s Boermas attitude to the junior cycle mayor? A. Cautious B. Favorable C. Ambiguous D. Disapproving D The Broadcom MASTERS competition aims to find a balance between celebrating individual accomplishments and acknowledging that science seldom happens aloneThe competition takes off when students from around the country are teamed up and have to solve a series of handson challenges in the spotlight Nowadays，kids are fed with“the myth of the lone scientist” ，so placing such challenges in the middle school period has a huge potential for impactThe focus on teambuilding skills gets students excited before more fears and stereotypes(成见)set in The initial pool of qualified students comes from the participants in nation-wide science fairsThose who score in the top 10(about 1 0，000 kids)have the qualification to applyThe judges select the top 300 young scientists，and that group is finally narrowed to 30 finalists Selection at this stage is clearly an honor in itself，but it counts as step one for the finalistsThey are then flown to Washington，DCand placed into teams of five for the hands-on part of the competitionEach team is made up of students with different talents and skills，including academic focus and experience Unlike the science fairs，where most of the work takes place behind the scenes and students share a polished outcome，the hands-on challenges create a space where the work is the competition itselfThe students take up a range of challenges in science，technology，engineering，math and so onEach of the challenges will need the insight and skills of multiple team members Judges observing the challenges arent just looking for outcomes but also for leadership，teamwork and problem solving The Broadcom MASTERS attracts increasing numbers of passionate and talented young people who are eager to take part in a program that helps them grow as scientists，engineers and inventorsIt lets the students experience a sense of coming together with true peersMore importantly，it provides them with new skills to tackle future challenges 32What does the Broadcom MASTERS competition mainly focus on? A.Individual accomplishments B.Hands-on challenges C.Academic performance DTeam work 33What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us? AA large number of kids take part in the science fairs BIts not easy to be qualified as a member of the finalists CThe judges are too strict with the participants DThe nation-wide science fairs are well organized 34What can we infer from the text? AThe Broadcom MASTERS competition has an increasing impact BMiddle school students prefer to challenge each other CStudents can learn more new skills from the Broadcom MASTERS DThe science fairs will be completely replaced by the Broadcom MASTERS 35What can be a suitable title for the text?
