22、On Wednesday, 16-year-old Aava Murto took over for a day as prime minister of Finland. The move was part of an international effort called “Girls Takeover”, designed to bring attention to the rights of girls. Finland’s prime minister, Sanna Marin, handed over the position to Aava and showed her how things worked. Though Aava didn’t make any laws, she did meet with politicians, speak to reporters, and give a speech.

Girls Takeover is a worldwide program run by a group called Plan International. The program allows girls around the world to temporarily take over positions normally held by leaders of all different kinds.

This is Finland’s fourth year of taking part in the program. In addition to Aava taking over as prime minister, other girls took charge of other businesses, including a magazine, a university, and Rovio Entertainment, the company behind the Angry Birds video game. This year, the focus of Girls Takeover is on equality for gifts in technology. Aava normally spends a lot of her time working to promote climate action and human rights. But on Wednesday, she focused on technology in her speech.

“Inequality affects many of us girls globally and affects our lives in a variety of ways,” she said. Aava pointed out that most people have always assumed that boys are interested in technology and that girls aren’t, which is against the fact and can make it harder for girls to master these skills.

Aava said that since up to 90% of jobs in the future will rely on digital skills, it’s important to make it easy for everyone to develop these abilities. Aava notes that this is especially important in poorer countries where technology isn’t as cheap or as common. “Girls, too, have a digital future,” she said. “And that is why girls should have a voice in technology.”

Several other countries around the world are taking part in Girls Takeover, including the Dominican Republic, Kenya, Paraguay, Peru, Sudan, and Vietnam.

【1】Why was Aava Murto able to serve as Finland’s prime minister for one day?

A．Because of a global program.

B．Because of her endless efforts.

C．Because of a regular exchange.

D．Because of her closeness to the government.

【2】What does paragraph 3 imply?

A．Aava has taken many different leaders’roles before.

B．Aava always devotes herself to speeches on technology.

C．The focus of Girls Takeover may vary from year to year.

D．Girls Takeover has been held in Finland for over a decade.

【3】What mainly makes girls have greater difficulty mastering technology skills?

A．Their limited access to technology.

B．Their lack of interest in technology.

C．The different social responsibilities.

D．The long-held wrong public concept.

【4】Which of the following reflects Aava’s opinion?

A．Girls’voice in technology matters more.

B．Inequality has little effect on girls worldwide.

C．Technology is unequally distributed globally.

D．Mastering digital skills promises a bright future.

23、As the interest in nutrition increases and people are getting more and more conscious about what they eat, the interest in fruit and its contents also grows. 【1】 There is much to discover about the substances that fruit contains.

Scientists have confirmed that one of the substances that fruit contains is natural sugars. 【2】 We know it is healthy for us, and that people who are sick can be cured by a diet of raw fruits and vegetables. Even cancer can sometimes be cured by this diet but which substances fruit contains is a mystery. That a human being can live healthily on fruit alone has been proven by the fruitarians who only consume fruit.

【3】 Scientists think fruit has a very positive effect on the brains just like carrots. They stimulate the brain so we can think faster and recall information more quickly. Students can improve their results by changing their eating habits before they have an exam. Check it out yourself you’ll notice that you can think much more clear and faster if you have only eaten the right and light stuff before the exam.

There is also nutrition that has a negative effect on your brains. 【4】 Have only fruit as much as you want before you do your test and avoid the brain blocking foods like white flour, refined white sugar, meat and dairy. This forms a sticky substance in the intestines (肠道) that costs much energy to digest. Much blood has to be sent to the digestive system. 【5】 If you want to succeed in living a truly healthy life, the best thing to do is to consume the “right nutrition”. We suggest that one starts by eating five to nine pieces of fruit a day.

A．Every coin has two sides.

B．Fruit is the ultimate brain fuel!

C．Fruit plays a major role in our health.

D．As a result, it cannot be sent to your head.

E．The big trick is to consume fruit effectively.

F．But we still don’t know that enough about fruit.

G．Your body can easily turn these sugars into energy.

24、It happens to all of us and can be beyond annoyance, so why do we itch? You know the feeling: There’s that spot on your arm, leg or back that just itches and begs for a deep, satisfying scratch. 【1】 No matter how much you scratch, it just can’t be satisfied.

As we all know, itchy skin is a sensation that makes us want to scratch—but as soon as you satisfy that need, you set off something called the itch-scratch cycle.【2】

The main reason that you feel itchy is that the skin cells or nerve endings near your skin have become annoyed. 【3】 When you itch, you give yourself a scratch, the area of the body that you have scratched releases chemicals including histamine, and it makes you itch more. That’s why we use antihistamines for allergic reactions but they can also help for insect bites and things like that.

【4】 The drier your skin becomes, the more likely the skin gets itchy. However, it is sometimes caused not from the skin, but from what you see or hear. When you hear someone else scratching their skin, or when you see images that suggest itch, like a picture of being bitten by a mosquito, you get the urge to scratch. People with the allergic condition seem to be more easily affected than those without the condition.【5】

A．Causes of itchy skin.

B．It is usually caused by dry skin.

C．It means you are going to end up feeling itchier.

D．Fortunately, there are ways you can get rid of it.

E．Being aware of this phenomenon can help interrupt its effect.

F．But you know giving in to that desire will only result in more problems.

G．Once you start scratching, your body creates a chemical reaction that makes you itchier.

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。

It was a typical Monday morning for Jenny, a diligent high school senior. The sound of her alarm clock woke her up, a rude awakening from her sweet dreams. She unwillingly opened her eyes, knowing what waited for her-another 5 long days at school.

Dragging herself out of bed, Jenny went through her usual morning routine. She hurriedly got dressed, grabbed her backpack, and rushed to the kitchen for breakfast. Her mother had prepared a nutritious meal, but Jenny had no appetite. She was too occupied with thoughts of an upcoming exam in her most challenging subject, mathematics.

As Jenny walked to school, her mind wandered back to the countless hours she had spent studying and practicing equations (方程式). She had put in lots of effort, hoping to improve her grades. However, despite her dedication, she was struggling to achieve the desired results. Doubts started crawling in, and anxiety stayed in her mind like dark clouds.

As students settled into their seats, Mr. Johnson, their math teacher, announced that the exam would take place that afternoon. Jenny started to feel afraid. She suddenly realized that she had forgotten her calculator at home, an essential tool for the exam. Panic turned into hopelessness, as she knew that borrowing one during the test would be strictly prohibited.

Jenny’s friends, Emma and David, noticed her worry and approached her after class. They offered their help. Emma suggested that Jenny be honest to Mr. Johnson and explain her situation. David, however, had a different plan. He proposed sneaking (偷偷给) his calculator to her during the exam, risking punishment for cheating.

注意:

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

Jenny’s heart sank.
