21、   The past week was by no means an ordinary week, 【1】.

This Monday, the topic was brought up again by my parents during dinner. 【2】. Seeing my hesitant look, Mom patted me on my shoulder and said that I still had enough time to think about it, her smile encouraging me to do more research.

Later that evening, I turned to the Internet for help. 【3】. As a science student, law could be a good choice. Business and computer science were also attracting me. No sooner had I noted down the majors one after another than I crossed them all off immediately, because what I wanted was a profession that could make a difference in people’s lives.

【4】. The moment “Role Models of Our Time” appeared on the screen, it caught my eye. The news story focused on superheroes-police officers, healthcare workers, deliverymen street cleaners-who guarded us selflessly to ensure our life ran normally. Suddenly, I realized my life's purpose-relieving pain and saving lives. And to pursue this call, I decided to specialize in medical science, just like my role models fighting against Covid-19 in Wuhan.

I jumped excitedly with joy at this idea. 【5】, saying that they would be so proud to see me in white. Now, determined to become a healthcare worker, whenever I start my schoolwork, I know I am studying for a noble cause.

A.Faced with so many choices, I seemed to be lost

B.Mom and Dad were also happy that I had found the compass for my future life

C.because of Chinese Ambassdor Liu Xiaoming’s exclusive interview on BBC’s Hardtalk

D.for I finally decided on my major

E.It occurred to me that although first discovered in Wuhan, Covid-19 was not originated from Wuhan

F.I had asked myself the same question many times, but still couldn’t make up my mind

G.The inspiration came unexpectedly with the CCTV News yesterday

22、   A book is so much more than mere ink and paper. So insist French booksellers, who for nearly four decades successfully persuade the government to keep the forces of the free market at bay. A law passed in 1981 bans the sale of any book at anything other than the price decided by its publisher. Authorities are cracking down on those trying to sell the latest Thomas Piketty or J.K Rowling at a discount.

The fixed-price rule is meant to keep customers loyal to their local bookshop and out of the control of supermarkets and corporations. But the arrival of e-commerce and e-readers has promoted questions worthy of their own tomes(大部头著作). Can you fix the price of a book if it is part of an all-you-can-read subscription service? Are audio-books books at all? And what of authors who self-publish?

Changes have been made to preserve the principle of “one book, one price”. In 2011, the rule began to apply to digital tomes. Free delivery by online sellers was prohibited because it implied a subsidy(补贴) on the delivered books (encouraging online sellers to charge only €0.01 for postage). But a new challenge to the policy is proving more difficult to deal with.

Used books are exempted from the pricing rule. Third-party sellers on Amazon are accused of using this as a way to apply forbidden discounts: selling brand-new books as “second hand” to make them cheaper. So fans can purchase a copy of the latest Michel Houellebecq novel Serotonine for 11.71 pounds on Amazon, roughly half of its original price. Its seller claims it is in “perfectly new” condition.

Amazon claims its practices are legal. But books sellers are upset, and their political allies with them. “This is a major concern,” said Franck Riester, the culture minister, at a bookseller’s conference this week. He says new laws may be needed.

Defenders of the fixed-price principle (which has spread to other parts of Europe) say it helps keep independent bookshops alive. Others are not so sure. Books are expensive in France — an odd way to encourage people to buy more.

【1】What was the function of the law passed in 1981?

A.To stop publishers from publishing poor books.

B.To prevent the random price of books in the market.

C.To help book consumers benefit from the free market.

D.To encourage French booksellers to sell cheaper books.

【2】What’s implied about the arrival of e-commerce and e-readers in Paragraph 2?

A.It greatly changed people’s reading habits.

B.It challenged the principle of “one book, one price”.

C.It weakened the ties between publishers and authors.

D.It provided local booksellers with some new opportunities.

【3】What does the underlined part “are exempted from” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A.are involved in. B.are threatened by.

C.are consistent with. D.are unrestricted by.

【4】What is Franck Riester’s attitude towards those third-party sellers’ practices on Amazon?

A.He is hopeful of them. B.He is uncertain of them.

C.He disapproves of them. D.He is indifferent to them.

23、Autistic (自闭症的) children are as known as “children of the stars”0 They may have difficulties communicating with other people. 【1】 By combining music with mobile technology, three students from Shanghai Jiao Tong University have tried to help them with an app called Starrypia.

Tan Yilan, Zhang Junwei and Cai Yu spent five months building their AR-gamified therapy app for children with autism. Children use the app to scan things around them. 【2】 Then they rearrange the parts to create songs. The songs would be recorded in their music diaries.

“This is actually a kind of music therapy. 【3】 The process also trains their abilities.” said Tan. The app encourages children to scan and identify dolls, animals and plants. They even designed different levels, guiding users from their surroundings to nature.

According to the app’s developers, traditional music therapy is usually taken in hospitals. 【4】 But Starrypia makes the process more like a game. Besides, it can be used anytime and anywhere, making the therapy lighter and easier.

Starrypia will soon come out on the APP Store. 【5】 They will return the income to their families. When they tested the app on autistic children, they got good responses, not only in professional terms but also on the children’s faces. “I saw their smiles as they played with Starrypia, making everything worth it,” said Tan.

A．They are combining music with mobile technology.

B．Autistic children can better express themselves by it.

C．And they get parts of music as well as cartoon images.

D．The developers are also preparing to sell the music works.

E．The music therapy app is becoming more and more popular.

F．However, music can open their hearts as a kind of artistic language.

G．Autistic children sit in front of computers learning some music courses.

24、   In the future, chances are we don’t need to depend on human donations for life-saving skin grafts (移植).

That’s the goal of Xeno Therapeutics, a biotech non-profit organization. The US Food and Drug Administration approved the group’s initial application for temporary skin grafts removed from genetically modified (基因改良) pigs. This means that they can start testing pig skin grafts on people who have experienced severe burns.

Skin, the body’s largest organ, plays an important role in blocking pathogens (病原体) from reaching our organs inside. It also helps the body keep a constant temperature. People with severe skin damage are at a high risk of developing deadly infections as a result of changes in temperature.

At the moment, the only skin grafts available in the US come from the dead people who have agreed to be organ donors, or patients who have gone through surgery to remove skin after large weight loss. These human skins used for grafts are not easy to find.

Xeno Therapeutics, which gets its name from animal-to-human transplants, has raised pigs that have skin remarkably similar to our own. Grafts from these pigs are therefore more likely to hide without being detected by the host's immune system — at least temporarily. The idea is that they could be used for immediate burn treatment, followed human skin graft treatment later.

“I’d say that just like comparing a Coke with Pepsi, it would be hard to tell which was the human skin and which was the pig graft,” said Xeno Therapeutics CEO Paul Holzer.

The non-profit organization has been working to conduct the clinical trials, which will only be testing the grafts’ safety and tolerability in six patients with severe burns. Assuming the results are positive after a month, the grafts will need to pass through two more stages of testing before they can be approved for widespread clinical use.

Several other groups around the world are working to make animal organs suitable for clinical medicine. In Brazil, researchers are exploring using tilapia skin as temporary bandages for burn victims whose skin is regrowing.

【1】What’s the aim of Xeno Therapeutics?

A．To make profit from the grafts.

B．To modify pigs genetically.

C．To apply pig skin on human patients.

D．To test people with severe burns.

【2】Why is skin important to human beings?

A．It keeps one’s temperature changing.

B．It helps us recover from deadly diseases.

C．It prevents itself from being damaged.

D．It acts as a protective layer for our body.

【3】What is Paul Holzer’s attitude towards the pig skin grafts?

A．Doubtful.

B．Worried.

C．Confident.

D．Ambiguous.

【4】What can we know about the grafts?

A．They won’t be put to use until they pass tests.

B．Brazilian doctors have also applied pig skin for grafts.

C．Animal skin has been used on six patients safely.

D．Only skin removed from pigs can be used for grafts.

26、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。续写的词数应为150左右。

It was a warm weekday evening in May last year when my friend Alice and I were on a long walk around the university campus. We had met on a university trip in 2019, when I was in my final year and Alice was a master’s student. We loved each other at once because we both love books and talking loud about how odd the world is.

I had brought a book of mini plays that we were performing to each other as we walked, just for fun. At one point, as part of the merrymaking, Alice set off a quick run and I took it as an invitation to race. We were on a long pavement when I stuck my foot out to trip her—I just wanted her to have a tumble (跌倒) so we could laugh about it. She fell instantly and I kept on running; it was all part of the joke. But then I heard her screaming. I turned around and she was on the ground, holding her right leg. I thought for a second she must be kidding, for there was no way she could have hurt herself that badly. But her face was out of shape in pain and she was making this crying sound.

A man who was walking by had seen what had happened. He called an ambulance as soon as he saw Alice. Within 10 minutes it arrived. The medical staff had to pick her up and carried her into the ambulance.

I went back to Alice’s house to tell her sister, who she lives with, what had happened. We drove to the hospital, even though we knew they couldn’t let us in because of COVID-19. Tests revealed that Alice’s leg had shattered (粉碎) in eight places. She would remain in hospital for weeks and would probably be restricted to her bed at home with a full-length cast for months after that. Because of COVID-19, we still couldn’t visit her. Alice treated the situation with levity (轻率), telling me not to worry because accidents happen.

Paragraph 1:

She spent three weeks in hospital.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 2:

So I wrote her a story, a kind of long-form apology, with Alice as the main character.
