26、If any New Yorker of Asian descent needs a safe way to get around, Madeline Park has got their back. Park created an Instagram account called “Cafemaddycab” amid a wave of anti-Asian hate crimes across the US. The account has one goal: to pay the Uber or Lyft fee for any woman or elderly individual of Asian descent in New York in order to help them get to their destinations safely if they feel “unsafe taking the train in NYC”.

Park, who had spent a majority of her decade in New York as a “broke student”, knew all too well what it was like to have to take the train or walk home rather than calling a cab because it was too expensive.

Now, she’s using money from her own pocket, as well as from other donors, to make sure the cost isn’t preventing anyone else from getting a ride. She decided to do so after fearing for her own safety just the other week.

“That’s it. I took the train to work last week and every minute of the ride I was stressed,” Park said in an Instagram post.“I was afraid that someone was going to walk up and start attacking me.”

One incident still on Park’s mind was when “someone set a 29-year-old Asian woman’s backpack on fire in the train around Ktown”. Park said she was done taking the train while these hate crimes were going on and so should you.

Park started out with $ 2,000 of her own money, which she used to help reimburse any Lyft or Uber ride up to $ 40 per person. Within two days, donors collectively poured in over $100, 000 to help with her efforts. Park started accepting more donations and she expected other cities to start their own cab initiative. However, it’s no small task.

“You have to have the TIME to commit to this and preferably a few people you trust to work with you, and a big heart for our community # StopAsianHate,” Park wrote in an Instagram post.

【1】What do the underlined words “has got their back” in paragraph 1 probably mean?

A．Has taught them a lesson.

B．Has attacked them secretly.

C．Has spoken highly of them.

D．Has offered support to them.

【2】Why did Park hardly travel by cab in the past?

A．It was unaffordable.

B．It wasn’t a safe choice.

C．It was slower than taking a train.

D．It wasn’t allowed for an Asian.

【3】What is the function of paragraph 4 and paragraph 5?

A．To tell why Park started her cab initiative.

B．To encourage donations for Park’s account.

C．To call for the reform on railway systems.

D．To condemn the anti- Asian hate crimes.

【4】How does Park find carrying out the cab initiative?

A．Hopeless.

B．Unacceptable.

C．Disappointing.

D．Challenging.

27、        In early autumn I applied for admission to college. I wanted to go nowhere but to Cornell University, but my mother fought strongly against it. When she saw me studying a photograph of my father on the sports ground of Cornell, she tore it up.

“You can’t say it’s not a great university, just because Papa went there.”

“That’s not it at all. And it is a top university.” She was still holding the pieces in her hand. “But we can’t afford to send you to college.”

“I wouldn’t dream of asking you for money. Do you want me to get a job to help support you and Papa? Things aren’t that bad, are they?”

“No,” she said. “I don’t expect you to help support us.”

Father borrowed money form his rich cousins to start a small jewellery shop. His chief customers were his old college friends. To get new customers, my mother had to help. She picked up a long-forgotten membership in the local league of women, so that she could get to know more people. Whether those people would turn into customers was another question. I knew that my Parents had to wait for quite a long time before their small investment could show returns. What’s more, they had not wanted enough to be rich and successful. Otherwise they could not possibly have managed their lives so badly.

I was torn between the desire to help them and change their lives, and the determination not to repeat their mistakes. I had a strong belief in my power to go what I wanted. After months of hard studying, I won a full college scholarship. My father could hardly contain his pride in me, and my mother eventually gave in before my success.

28、My husband and I recently went on a package holiday. Eyebrows (眉毛) were raised. I am a travel writer, you see, and so people expect me to be doing things such as backpacking between hand-selected fincas (庄园) in Spain or carefully planning an independent Italian food tour.

I don’t want to check every airline for the cheapest flights or research local taxi fares to avoid being cheated at the airport. My time, like yours, is valuable. Honestly, I just want somebody else to do the boring things for me. This is where the good old package holiday comes in. Reliable and extremely easy to book, a package holiday takes care of all the details for you. My goodness, I want that — and I am not alone.

Even better, a package holiday comes with support. Sunvil, for example, has 60 enthusiastic travel experts in its London office, as well as numerous representatives around the world. All are ready to offer proper, in-the-know (消息灵通的) advice on everything from the best restaurants to the must-visit spots. There are short trips that Sunvil’s own travel experts have enjoyed, and when it comes to finding a place to stay, the majority of Sunvil accommodation is locally owned and has been checked out thoroughly.

This sort of expert knowledge is invaluable. On my package holiday earlier this year, I was determined to try the local restaurant, and my representative told me how to hire a car for a day’s exploration and which sights were worth making time for. I may have been on a package holiday, but my experience was entirely personal.

And so, when I returned from my holiday, I told my friends that I had become a fan of package holidays. I love the peace of mind that comes with knowing there is a support system in place. I love the expert knowledge that can lead me to the freshest fish and sunniest beach. And above all, I don’t have to do any of the boring things. This is truly the way to travel.

【1】What can we infer about travelling from the second paragraph?

A．Most tourists choose the cheapest flights.

B．We should learn to avoid getting cheated.

C．Package holidays area brand-new concept.

D．The author prefers to have others arrange her tour.

【2】What do we know about Sunvil from the third paragraph?

A．It has checked all the offered hotels.

B．Its staff give suitable suggestions.

C．It tends to recommend short trips.

D．It has 60 travel agencies in London.

【3】What does the author enjoy doing?

A．Taking care of all her details.

B．Hiring a bike for exploration.

C．Tasting the freshest fish.

D．Leading people to the beach.

【4】What is the theme of the text?

A．How to choose a travel route.

B．What a package holiday lacks.

C．Why I go for a package holiday.

D．When to take a package holiday.

29、Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania are working to create a special chewing gum that could help reduce the spread of COVID-19 by "trapping" the virus so a person can't transmit it to someone else.

Experts agree that vaccinations are the best way to fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, but its also known that vaccinated people can still transmit the virus. The University of Pennsylvania researchers are hoping that their chewing gum will give people a low-cost way to further prevent COVID-19 from spreading.

"This gum offers an opportunity to break down the virus in the saliva (唾液), giving us a simple way to possibly cut down on a source of disease transmission，"said Henry Daniell, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine and leader of the research.

The gum contains plant-grown ACE2 proteins, which showed in laboratory studies to break down the SARS-CoV-2 virus. When researchers exposed saliva samples from COVID-19 patients to the chewing gum, they found the levels of viral RNA were sharply reduced to the point that the virus was almost undetectable.

The research is still in its early stages, and the researchers are working on getting permission to conduct a clinical trial in humans to determine if the gum is safe and effective. Should the gum work, Penn Today reported it could be used in situations where people need to be close to each other-such as a dental cleaning, for example-to reduce the risk of passing the virus to others.

Before researchers can bring their chewing gum to market, they have to determine how much of it should be used per day, which will be based on how long it takes the virus to reproduce. However, if it does prove to be an effective tool at fighting coronavirus, Daniell told "hundreds of millions of chewing gum" could be produced within three months.

【1】What does the text mainly talk about?

A．Saliva has effect on virus.

B．Producing chewing gums costs little.

C．A research about preventing Covid-19.

D．A product to stop the spread of Covid-19.

【2】How does the chewing gum work?

A．It produces ACE2 proteins.

B．It cures the disease of COVID-19.

C．It destroys the virus in the saliva.

D．It detects the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

【3】What can be concluded from the last paragraph?

A．The gum will see is bright future.

B．The gum can be massively produced.

C．The gum will enter the market soon.

D．People's health determines the use of the gum.

【4】What is the author's attitude to the prospect of the gum?

A．Hopeful.

B．Negative.

C．Doubtful.

D．Unclear.

32、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。

After knowing that she couldn’t bear a child, Helen was devastated. One day while she was driving home from the café, a dirty puppy in the road caught Helen’s attention. After consideration, Helen and her husband eventually decided to take him home. And they later named him Ollie.

Two years later, Ollie had grown into a large ball of fur. Ollie was Helen’s world, and she hated it whenever someone addressed him as her rescue dog. Helen never went out without Ollie. One day, they were hanging out together outside a supermarket, unprepared for what was coming their way.

“Hey boy, wait in the car. I’ll be back, alright?” Helen said as she patted Ollie on his head. She locked him in the car and headed to the supermarket because Ollie hated crowded places and never accompanied Helen to the stores.

Moments later, there was a sudden outburst of chaos. Helen was busy shopping and had no idea it was raining heavily outside. The whole area began to flood unexpectedly. People rushed to every open store they could find for shelter.

12-year-old boy Matt was looking for a place to run to safety when he spotted people running to the supermarket nearby. He had no time to think and ran after them.

Matt hurried upstairs with the rest. Suddenly, Helen noticed the situation and was alarmed. “What happened?” she asked a man and screamed at the top of her lungs when she learned of the flood. All she could think of was Ollie trapped in the car.

“OLLIE..., I left my dog in the car,” she cried, running toward the window. “My dog is trapped in the car. Somebody, please...”

Matt looked outside and saw the car Helen pointed to was in the flash flood. Helen was frightened to go out because she didn’t know how to swim. Matt understood Helen’s anxiety and ran to her pet’s rescue.

He grabbed an iron rod from the corner and raced downstairs. “Hey kid, where are you going? You will drown,” someone shouted. But Matt turned a deaf ear to him because he was determined to save Ollie. In the meanwhile, some people placed a call to the rescue center.
