21、   A Pakistani man who was born without arms has developed into a highly skilled snooker player. In the game of snooker, players traditionally use long sticks to hit colored balls into holes at the end of a table. But Muham-mad Ikram has learned a different method. He uses his chin (下巴) to hit the balls into the holes.

Muhammad Ikram is one of nine children. He did not receive an education and his family faced struggles meeting basic needs. Growing up, Ikram spent much of his time watching people play snooker, a game no one dreamed he could ever play. He says he does not remember exactly how the idea of playing struck him. But at some point, he started practicing the game in secret. “He would eagerly watch other boys play. He would keep wishing he also had arms so he could play like them,” said his mother, Razia Bibi. “Then he started using his chin.”

The 32-year-old lives in Samundri, a rural town in Pakistan’s Punjab province. He has spent eight years perfecting his game and says he is not afraid to take on any players. “I have met very good snooker players who tell me I am a real genius and I can bring great fame to Pakistan,” he told Reuters Television. Mian Usman Ahmed is co-owner of the Cuemaster Snooker Club. He says Ikram won several prizes in local competitions over the past two years. “He would come to the club and ask if he could be allowed to play. We would look at his arms and feel he was unable to,” Ahmed said. “He insisted we allow him to prove himself. When he did that, we saw he was actually very good.”

When asked what he would say to others with physical disabilities, Ikram said, “No one should lose hope.” He added that he would one day like to compete at the international level, hopefully with government support.

【1】What possibly contributed to Ikram’s becoming a snooker player?

A.The idea of supporting his family.

B.The encouragement from his mother.

C.The hobby of watching snooker games.

D.The desire to set an example to the disabled.

【2】What can we learn about Ikram from Para. 3?

A.He has brought fame to his country.

B.He has won first prize in local snooker games.

C.His skills of playing snooker were highly thought of.

D.His method of playing snooker shocked other players.

【3】Which of the following words can best describe Ikram?

A.Kind-hearted and gifted. B.Inspiring and determined.

C.Energetic and intelligent. D.Active and outgoing.

【4】What was Ikram’s wish?

A.To become a professional snooker player.

B.To compete in international snooker games.

C.To receive education with government support.

D.To open a snooker club designed for the disabled.

22、Can staying up late make you fat? A growing body of research has suggested that poor sleep quality is linked to an increased risk of obesity (肥胖症). But a new study found that it’s not the sleep loss that leads to obesity, but rather that overweight can cause poor sleep.The researchers discovered their findings in a very small worm, called C.elegans.

Study co-author David Raizen stressed that while these findings in worms may not translate directly to humans, C. elegans offers a good model for studying humans' sleep. Like all other animals that have nervous systems, they need sleep. But unlike humans, who have complex neural circuitry (神经回路) and are difficult to study, a C. elegans has only 302 nerve cells，one of which scientists know for certain is a sleep regulator.

In humans, people who get fewer than six hours of sleep per night are more likely to be obese. Moreover, starvation in humans, fruit flies, and worms has been shown to affect sleep, indicating that it is regulated, at least in part, by nutrient availability. However, the way in which sleeping and eating work in tandem (协同地) has remained unclear.

The researchers genetically changed C.elegans to “turn off" a nerve cell that controls sleep. These worms could still eat, breathe, and reproduce, but they lost their ability to sleep.With this nerve cell turned off,the researchers saw a severe drop in ATP levels, which is the body's energy currency. “That suggests that sleep is an attempt to conserve energy; it's not actually causing the loss of energy,"Raizen explained.

The researchers knocked out the KIN-29 gene to create sleepless worms, and the mutant (突变的) C.elegans accumulated much fat. They assumed that the KIN-29 mutants did not sleep is because they were unable to release their fat.To test this guess, the researchers again controlled the KIN-29 mutant worms,this time expressing a chemical substance that freed their fat. With that operation,the worms were again able to sleep.

【1】What did the new study focus on?

A．The risk of suffering obesity.

B．The way our body consumes energy.

C．The link between obesity and sleep loss.

D．The cause for poor sleep and obesity.

【2】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A．Obesity.

B．Nutrition.

C．Starvation.

D．Sleep.

【3】Why did the researchers turn off one nerve cell of the C.elegans?

A．To monitor its sleep quality.

B．To regulate the change of ATP.

C．To confirm the function of sleep.

D．To find out factors affecting energy conservation.

【4】What might lead to obese people's sleeping problem according to the researchers?

A．That their body fat fails to be freed normally.

B．That their ATP level may be greatly raised.

C．That their brain signals for sleeping go wrong.

D．That their KIN-29 gene is knocked out quickly.

24、Every year around this time, Girl Scouts（女童军）wear their uniforms and set up tables at supermarkets and on sidewalks to sell boxes of cookies in the US. They sold approximately 200 million boxes of cookies each year. Girl Scouts depend on the cookie program to fund life-changing, girl-led programs and educational opportunities. However, during the outbreak of COVID-19, millions of dollars worth of cookies are going unsold.

Amanda Kopelman, 16, came up with an idea and discussed it with the members of her Plantation Troop 10442. They are donating unsold cookies to medical professionals and first rescuers. "Having been a Girl Scout for the past 12 years and the top cookie seller for the past seven years, it truly breaks my heart when I hear that the cookie sales of my Girl Scout sisters across the nation have been cut short," Kopelman said.

She said knowing everyone is going through similar things, and having an international group of girls to talk to have made her time spent at home productive and pleasant. Madelyn Streisfeld 15, said that while she miss the hands-on activities and face-to-face communication scouting provides, she recognizes that having to stay home has its benefits. "We've been able to spend a lot more time with each other online," she said."

"Troop 10442 is a wonderful example of true Girl Scout sisterhood," said Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida CEO Lisa Johnson. "Their think-outside-the-（cookie）-box donation is taking the leadership skills they have learned throughout their many years of Girl Scouts and putting them into action to make the world better during this difficult time."

A．They are asked to wear uniforms to school.

B．They have raised about 200 million dollars.
