21、I walked up to the counter.Behind it was a lady with glasses on the tip of her nose and gray hair on her head.

"Excuse me," I said.She looked up."You're that Clements kid," she said."I'm Miss Bee.Come closer and let me get a look at you." She pushed her glasses up her nose."I can describe you to the police if something goes missing from the store."

"I'm not a thief!" I was shocked.I was seven,too young to be a thief!

"From what I can see,you're not much of anything.But I can tell you've got potential." She went back to reading her newspaper.

"I need to get these."I said,holding up my list."So? Go get them."Miss Bee pointed to a sign on the screen door. "I'm not your servant,so I suggest you get yourself a basket and start filling."

I visited Miss Bee several times a week that summer.Sometimes she short-changed me.Other times she overcharged. "That can of beans is only twenty nine cents" I corrected her one afternoon.I had watched the numbers change on the cash register closely,and Miss Bee had added 35 cents.She didn't seem embarrassed.She just looked at me over her glasses and fixed the price.

But she ever let me declare victory.All summer long she found ways to play tricks on me.No sooner had I learned how to pronounce bicarbonate of soda（小苏打）and memorized its location on the shelf than Miss Bee rearranged the shelve and made me hunt for it all over again.

One day before I left,she said,"I know what you think of me,but I don't care! Each of us is put on this earth for a reason.I believe my job is to teach every child I meet life lessons.When you get older you'll be glad our paths crossed!"Glad I met Miss Bee? Ha! The idea was absurd...

22、If you were suffering from depression, you would turn to sugary holiday desserts, which were usually considered to help people feel relieved. However, if now you are in the same situation, you will only say “bah humbug” to them for indeed it’s absolutely absurd.

Recently, a new study from a team of clinical psychologists at the University of Kansas suggests that added sugar can cause inflammation (发炎) and processes of metabolism and nerve system, all of which are tied to depressive illness. Coupled with decreasing light in wintertime and related changes in sleep patterns, high sugar consumption could result in negative effects on mental health, according to the researchers.

The researchers found that inflammation is the key physiological effect of dietary sugar related to mental health. “A large number of people with depression have high levels of systemic inflammation,” said Stephen Ilardi, a coauthor of the study. “When we think about inflammatory disease, we think about diabetes, a disease with a high level of systemic inflammation. We don’t normally think about depression included in that, but it is — not for everyone who’s depressed, but for about half. We also know that inflammatory hormones can direly push the brain into a severe depression. An inflamed brain is typically a depressed brain. And added sugars cause inflammation to the body and brain.”

The problem is worse this time of year. “For many people, reduced sunlight exposure during the winter will disturb biological rhythms, disrupting healthy sleep and pushing 5 to 10 percent of the population into a fully clinical depression,” Ilardi says.

【1】What kind of emotion do the underlined words “bah humbug” express in Paragraph 1?

A．Envy.

B．Satisfaction.

C．Preference.

D．Dislike.

【2】Which factor may cause harm to mental heath according to the text?

A．Great varieties of clinical diseases.

B．No intake of dietary sugar.

C．Some anxieties in sleep patterns.

D．High sugar with less sunlight.

【3】Why does the author mention the words of Stephen Ilardi?

A．To introduce more about the coauthor of the study.

B．To support his idea that dietary sugar results in depression.

C．To draw a conclusion that inflammatory disease can cause diabetes.

D．To give more details about the possible results of mental depression.

【4】What does the text mainly talk about?

A．The importance of mental health.

B．The damage to mental health from sugar.

C．The sugar treatment for depression.

D．The number of people with depression.

23、   Hedy Lamarr was used to being admired for her looks. As a Hollywood film star, she was called “the most beautiful woman” in the world. What she was less known for was her scientific thinking ability. During World War II, Lamarr quietly co-invented the technology that would be the precursor (前身) to Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and other systems we rely on today.

She had a natural curiosity about the world around her. As young as 5, she would spend time taking apart and rebuilding her music box to understand how it worked. At 16, she got her first Him role and quickly became an international icon (偶像). As her acting career continued to take off, World War II broke out. Lamarr became restless, feeling that she should do more to contribute to the Allies’ war efforts. “Lamarr said that she did not feel very comfortable, sitting there in Hollywood and making lots of money when things were in such a state,” says George Antheil

Together with Antheil, Lamarr came up with a groundbreaking new form of wireless communication known as Spread Spectrum (频谱). The concept was to create a wireless signal that could travel quickly from frequency to frequency. But the military refused to use it in their war efforts. The technology sat unused for years, until one day in the 1960s, the military accepted it and called the system “Spread like Wildfire”.

Hedy Lamarr played the role she was expected to play in Hollywood - a beautiful star on the big screen. And without her, communication could look completely different today. Lamarr’s experience can serve as a reminder: Pursue your talents and passions. Not only will the world be better for it, but every pioneer who challenges the old will pave the way for others to follow.

【1】Which of the following best describes Lamarr?

A．She became an international star in her childhood.

B．She was popular for her extraordinary beauty.

C．She invented the technology completely by her own.

D．She had to do more to gain success in her career.

【2】What motivated Lamarr to invent “Spread Spectrum”?

A．Making lots of money.

B．Becoming more popular.

C．Showing off her ability.

D．Helping the Allies’ war efforts.

【3】What can we know from Paragraph 3?

A．A fast-frequently-spreading signal was created in Spread Spectrum.

B．The name “Spread like Wildfire” showed the hidden danger.

C．Showing off her ability.

D．Helping the Allies’ war efforts.

【4】Which can be the best title for the text?

A．A Film Star With A Great Contribution

B．An International Icon

C．A Woman And The Allies, War Efforts

D．A Wireless Communication

24、The world is wasting the opportunity to “build back better” from the Covid-19 pandemic, and faces disastrous temperature rises of at least 2.7°C if countries fail to strengthen their climate commitments, according to a report from the UN.

Tuesday’s publication warns that countries’ current commitments would reduce carbon by only about 7.5% by 2030, far less than the 45% cut, which scientists say is needed to limit global temperature rises to 1.5°℃, the aim of the Cop26summit that opens in Glasgow this Sunday.

António Guterres, the UN secretary-general, described the findings as a “thundering wake-up call“ to world leaders. while experts called for action against fossil fuel companies.

Although more than 100 countries have promised to reach net zero emissions around mid-century, this would not be enough to avoid climate disasters, according to the UN emissions report, which examines the shortfall between countries’ intentions and actions needed on the climate. Many of the net zero commitments were found to be unclear, and unless accompanied by strict cuts in emissions this decade would allow global heating of a potentially disastrous extent.

Guterres said: “The heat is on, and as the contents of the report show, the leadership we need is off. Far off. Countries are wasting a massive opportunity to invest Covid-19 finance and recovery resources in sustainable, cost-saving, planet-saving ways. As world leaders prepare for Cop26, this report is another thundering wake-up call. How many do we need?”

Inger Andersen, the director of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) said: “Climate change is no longer a future problem. It is a now problem. To stand a chance of limiting global warming to 1.5℃, we have 8 years to almost halve greenhouse gas emissions: 8 years to make the plans, put in place the policies, carry them out and deliver the cuts.The clock is ticking loudly.”

Emissions fell by about 5.4% last year during Covid lockdowns, the report found, but only about one-fifth of the economic recovery spending goes towards reducing carbon emissions. This failure to ”build back better“ despite promises by governments around the world cast doubt on the world’s willingness to make the economic shift necessary to settle the climate crisis, the UN said.

In the run-up to Cop26, countries were supposed to submit national plans to cut emissions - called nationally determined contributions (NDCs) - for the next decade, a requirement under the 2015 Paris climate agreement. But the UNEP report found only half of countries had submitted new NDCs, and some governments had presented weak plans.

【1】Why were the findings described as a “thundering wake-up call”in Para. 3?

A．Because the world has failed to deliver on its current promises.

B．Because the serious problems were brought about by global fossil fuels.

C．Because a global temperature rise of at least 2.7°C would be a disaster.

D．Because the opportunities presented by covid-19 have been wasted.

【2】According to the author, in what circumstances is global warming avoidable?

A．New plans will be made to protect the environment.

B．Measures will be taken to reduce emissions in the coming ten years.

C．Transitions will be made in response to the global climate crisis.

D．Global sustainable environmental resources will be greatly developed.

【3】What is the author’s purpose in saying ”How many do we need?“ in Para. 5?

A．To show the number of alarm clocks required.

B．To inquire the number of the countries attending the meeting.

C．To explain the reason for the world’s wasting chances.

D．To stress the need to save energy and reduce emissions.

【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．Few countries have submitted plans to reduce the emissions.

B．Most of the countries work under the Paris Climate Agreement.

C．Plans to cut emissions of many countries are far from satisfactory.

D．Much progress in reducing emissions has been made these years.
