21、Abbey Ahern, 34, who lives in Oklahoma, was shocked and heartbroken when she was told at her 19-week scan that her daughter had the incurable illness anencephaly (无脑畸形) which meant she would not live beyond a few hours. It ripped her heart out.

According to the National Institutes of Health, the illness means the baby has an underdeveloped brain and incomplete skull (颅骨). Approximately one in 10,000 babies in the US are born with anencephaly, most of which result in early death.

As a result, Abbey and her pilot husband Robert, also 34, decided to have a live birth so that they could spend time with their daughter and donate her organs — making Annie the first newborn baby donor in the state.

Afterwards they asked the doctor for the gender of their unborn child and decided to name her on the spot. They named her easily: Annie, which means, “grace”. Abbey said: “Carrying a seriously-ill baby to term was by far the most difficult thing I have ever done…For us, even in the middle of our terrible heartbreak we were able to see so much beauty.” The family spent just 14 hours and 58 minutes with Annie before she passed away.

Her organs were not available for transplant (移植) because her oxygen levels were too low — which Abbey said was “disappointing”— but they were able to donate her heart valves (瓣膜) and some of her organs could be used for research. She said: “Annie’s story is one of hope. I think it shows people that in the middle of tragedy, there can be beauty.”

【1】How did Abbey feel at the news about her daughter firstly?

A．Surprised and upset.

B．Worried and determined.

C．Relieved and regretful.

D．Curious and angry.

【2】What was Abbey and her husband’s decision?

A．Keeping Annie in hospital.

B．Stopping giving birth to Annie.

C．Giving away Annie’s organs.

D．Naming her daughter after beauty.

【3】Why were Annie’s organs not used for transplant?

A．Because of diseases.

B．Because of low temperature.

C．Because of heart valves.

D．Because of lack of oxygen.

【4】What is the purpose of the text?

A．To call on people to donate organs.

B．To share a touching story with readers.

C．To inform people of what anencephaly is.

D．To show what a tragedy the story is.

22、   Jake Meyers, a graduate student in Northwestern University, has won the Best Sharable  Video award in Planet Forward's national Storyfest 2020 competition. The project teaches, celebrates and rewards environmental storytelling by students from across the county.

As a master’s student, Meyers works at the intersection of climate adaptation and food security. During the summer of 2019, Meyers worked with the International Livestock Research Institute in Nairobi, Kenya, to investigate climate adaptation solutions to food insecurity in the rapidly urbanizing nation.

Meyers´ video, "Can urban farming feed the future?", shares the story of Francis Wachira, a leading advocate for urban facing in Nairobi.

Millions of people are moving from rural to urban areas as large-scale farming, coupled with climate change, forces small-scale farmers to abandon their livelihoods and pursue economic opportunity in urban areas, "Meyers said.

As food security concerns grow for the people of Nairobi, farmers like Francis are transforming urban lots into highly productive green spaces to raise livestock ( 牲 畜 ), grow vegetables and fight climate change.

" Francis has an incredible urban farming system in Nairobi that features over 600 head of livestock and 150 species of plants, "Meyers said. " I wanted to highlight Francis and his innovative approach to urban farming through storytelling with the goal of inspiring change."

"I have become so inspired by many incredible people like Francis Wachira. So many around the world are re-imagining solutions to poverty and climate change, yet their stories remain untold. I hope to continue using storytelling as a means of highlighting different perspectives that can create impact and advocate for transformational change, "Meyers said.

【1】Where did Meyers make his video?

A.In different countries. B.In an urban area in Kenya.

C.In rural areas in Kenya. D.In Northwestern University.

【2】Which of the following can replace the underlined part "abandon their livelihoods"?

A.work harder B.give up farming

C.leave their farmland D.expand their farm

【3】What can be inferred about Meyers video?

A.It introduces the benefits of rural farming.

B.It introduces the benefits of urban farming.

C.It's mainly about the difficulties with urban farming.

D.It's mainly about the potential risks in rural farming.

【4】What sort of person does Meyers describe Francis as?

A.A person who introduces changes and new ideas.

B.A person who shows great interest in farming.

C.A person who is intelligent and hard-working.

D.A person who realizes the danger of climate change.

23、The best way to explore a new world is to land on it. But there are a few places in the solar system that we will never understand. One of them is Jupiter.

Jupiter is mostly made of hydrogen and helium gas（氦气）. 【1】 There’s no outer crust（地壳）to break your fall on Jupiter. The big question is: Could you fall through one end of Jupiter and out the other? It turns out that you wouldn’t even make it halfway.

【2】 So make sure you bring plenty with you to breathe. The next problem is the high temperatures. So you also need an air conditioner. Now, you’re ready for the journey.

As you enter the top of the atmosphere, you’ll be traveling at 110,000 mph under the pull of Jupiter’s gravity. But brace（顶住）yourself. You’ll quickly hit the denser atmosphere below, which will hit you like a wall. It won’t be enough to stop you, though. After about 3 minutes, you’ll reach the cloud tops 155 miles down. 【3】 Jupiter rotates（旋转）very fast, which creates powerful winds. About 75 miles below the clouds, you reach the limit of human exploration.

However, let’s say you could find a way to go even farther. You will uncover some of Jupiter’s grandest mysteries. But, sadly, you’ll have no way to tell anyone. 【4】

At 13,000 miles down, you reach Jupiter’s inner layer. Here you’ll be left free-floating in mid-Jupiter, unable to move up or down. 【5】 You might survive down here if you’re in a spacecraft. We may never see what’s beneath those majestic clouds, but we can still admire this mysterious planet from afar.

A．You will have no way to escape.

B．So trying to land on Jupiter is a bad idea.

C．Can we send the spacecraft to land on Jupiter?

D．The first thing is that Jupiter’s atmosphere has no oxygen

E．Here, you’ll experience the full impact of Jupiter’s rotation.

F．So, trying to land on it would be like to land on a cloud on Earth.

G．Jupiter’s deep atmosphere absorbs radio waves, so you’ll be shut off from the outside world.

24、Credit card debts, loans and overdrawn (透支) accounts — these are costly mistakes you don’t want your children to make when they grow up. 【1】 According to Mylene Lopa, a chief marketing officer of Sun Life Financial, you should teach your kids about money as early as possible. Start simple and expose them to the following basic concepts.

Spending

Giving your children some pocket money is a good way to teach them how to be responsible. “The money should just be enough to buy them a treat, like a juice or a biscuit. It’s for practice more than anything,” Mylene says. 【2】 Tell your kid he will get a reward if he saves some of that money.

Saving

【3】 They are always cute and colorful, making saving a fun and positive activity for kids. Encourage your children further by bringing them to the bank and showing them how to manage their savings themselves. It makes them feel more grown-up and they love it,” says Mylene.

Earning

For children, earning usually comes in the form of gifts they receive for good grades or behavior. 【4】 “Material rewards should be saved for even greater achievements,” Mylene advises, “like if they top the class or they really go beyond the call of duty to help.” This may let your children know making money is not so easy.

Along with these basic concepts, another way to teach kids about money is being a good example. 【5】 It’s hard to teach kids about saving if they see you splurging (挥霍) and borrowing all the time.

A．Be careful when giving them.

B．Buy your children moneyboxes.

C．Make it clear what items the money is for.

D．Set up a fund for your children when they get older.

E．Tell your children to pay a visit to the bank frequently.

F．Teaching your children about money will help them form good habits in life.

G．Avoid borrowing money from other people and use your credit card responsibly.

26、Directions: Read the following three passages. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

71. Click to download teacher

“Books will soon disappear in schools,” Thomas Edison announced in 1913: they would, he believed, soon be replaced by silent films. Each new wave of information technology - radio, television, computers - has led to similar predictions.

Like teachers, digital educational technology comes in many forms, from wonderful to awful. But, used properly, it now deserves more prominence (重要性) in schools - especially in poor countries where human teachers are often ignorant, absent or both.

According to a recent World Bank study of seven sub - Saharan African countries, half of nine - year - olds cannot read a simple word and three - quarters cannot read a simple sentence. The reason is terrible. The same study found that only 7% of teachers had the minimum knowledge needed to teach reading and writing effectively. When classrooms were inspected to see whether a teacher was present, half the time the answer was no. As for the absence of teachers, if expensive teachers do not turn up to class, government would, surely, fire them? Easier said than done. Poor governments often lack the money to check on teachers in distant villages.

Several recent studies suggested - tech can help. It seems to bring about bigger improvements in poor countries than in rich ones. Some of the scarce resources being spent on teachers could therefore be better spent on ed - tech. That does not mean dumping computers on schools in the hope that children will understand how to use them. Instead, it means providing schools with software that children can use with minimal help from an adult, that sends teachers prompts about what they are supposed to be teaching and that allows the authorities to check on whether the teacher is in the classroom.

Technology is no cure - all. Good traditional teachers are not outdated, and are never likely to be. And authorities need to hold teachers to account. But ed - tech can help greatly - by monitoring pupils and teachers alike, assisting the best teachers and, most important, making up for the failings of the worst.
