Harper Lee (1926—2016) was an American novelist widely known for To Kill a Mockingbird (published in 1960), which won the 1961 Pulitzer Prize and has become a classic of modern American literature. The 1962 film adaptation starring Gregory Peck won three Academy Awards.
For decades, the book was Lee’s only major work of published fiction, but it was hugely influential for generations of U.S. readers. It has sold more than 10 million copies, and is one of the most widely taught novels in the U.S. schools. In 2007 she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her contributions to literature.
Lee wanted to live a simple life and was never comfortable with the attention the novel won her, and she practically disappeared from public life after it appeared. The world, however, continued waiting for a new novel from her, and on occasion she suggested that she was working on another story.
In 2015, a book did come out. Go Set a Watchman was more of a first draft, featuring Scout, the young girl who was the main character of To Kill a Mockingbird. Go Set a Watchman tells a story of Scout as adult.
Though Lee moved to New York in 1949, she spent many years guarding her privacy (隐私) in Monroeville, which served as the clear inspiration for the setting in To Kill a Mockingbird.
In 2007, Lee suffered a stroke (中风), but recovered and later settled in Monroeville permanently to care for her sister, Alice, who died in 2014. She was said to eat breakfast every morning at the same fast-food spot, and was friendly with her neighbors. The countless Americans knew her only through her works, and they will undoubtedly miss her.
24. What can be learned about Harper Lee from the first two paragraphs
A. She was regarded as the greatest writer in America.
B. She made great contributions to American literature.
C. She once starred in a film adapted from her own novel.
D. She is the most popular writer in American schools in history.
25. Why did Harper Lee disappear from public life after her first novel came out
A. She tried to get out of criticism.
B. She wanted to write another novel.
C. She suffered a stroke and was in recovery.
D. She felt uneasy about her novel’s influence.
26. What can we learn about Harper Lee’s Go Set a Watchman

Amazon wants to be able to answer the troublesome question: Did I leave the stove on The latest home security tool by Ring,a home security company owned by Amazon, is the Always Home Cam, a flying drone that can help homeowners check their apartments whenever they’re not in.
The Always Home Cam is a lightweight, self-docking, flying indoor camera that can take a predetermined path set by its user.When used with Ring’s proprietary home alarms systems like the Ring Alarm, the Always Home Cam will take flight and check the house for any potential disturbances. The drone unit can also be controlled remotely and manually. After a flight, the Always Home Cam automatically returns to its station itself for charging. It only records while in flight, too.
You can ask it to fly to check the stove while you’re out, or to see if you left the windows open. It’s also great for checking on naughty pets. The drone has obstacle avoidance technology built-in, and hidden propellers(螺旋桨) to weaken any damage to household furnishing in the event of a collision. Amazon says the drone will automatically take flight if there’s movement in the house to show you what’s going on.
The device was one of several that Amazon unveiled Thursday as part of its annual appliance event. Due to the pandemic, this year’s version was held online instead of at Amazon’s Seattle headquarters.
The indoor flying camera, called the Ring Always Home Cam, still needs approval from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission, but Amazon said it expects to sell it next year at $250. It will also launch a camera and alarm system for cars next year under its Ring brand.
Critics have raised privacy concerns about Ring, which is best known for its doorbell cameras, citing the company’s close relationship with police departments. Amazon said the drone only records when it is in the air, and that it makes a sound when it flies so any people in the house knows its recording.
28. What’s the main idea of the text
A. Amazon’s camera can whether your stove is on.
B. New devices were unveiled on Amazon’ annual appliance event.
C. Critics raised privacy concerns about the Always Home Cam.
D. The Always Home Cam can ensure your safety.
29. What can the Always Home Cam do
A. It can take a path set by computer.
B. It can record when you are out.
C. It can get charged by itself.
D. It can take flight at any time.
30. What do we know about the Always Home Cam
A. It was unveiled at Amazon's Seattle headquarters.
B. It will be sold at $250 next year.
C. It can lessen damage to furniture for its obstacle avoidance technology.
D. It records in the air,not found by anyone.
31. What’s the author’s attitude towards the Always Home Cam
A. Favorable B. critical C. doubtful D. objective
D
Mandy and Joe have been married for five years and they both love travelling to new countries. But while this shared hobby brings them together, it is also a source of contention. “I do all the planning and book,” says Mandy. “Don’t get me wrong. I enjoy it, but if Joe paid a bit more attention, he wouldn’t have turned up for a flight to Grenada packed for a winter city break. ‘Jumpers and boots !’ I cried. ‘You’re supposed to have packed shorts and T-shirts—it’s 30℃ in the Caribbean!’ Then I realized he thought we were going to Granada, in Spain.”
How Joe and Mandy each approach their travel plans is just one example of the many ways in which men and women differ. Yet, is what goes on inside our minds and bodies really so different Furthermore, are we born that way
On this issue, scientists are divided. The majority of scientists believed that patterns of behaviour thought to be more male or female are learnt firstly from our parents, then from our peers(同龄人)and, ultimately, from the societies in which we live. As Simone de Beauvoir famously said, “One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman.”
On the other side of the fence sat those who believed that male and female brains are actually wired differently. In one study in which 34 monkeys were required to interact with different types of toys, the males showed a strong preference for toys with wheels rather than soft toys, whereas the females were noticeably drawn to soft toys. These preferences were clearly not the result of parental influence.
Whatever the truth behind the differences between men and women, we can safely conclude that although the social impact on how we think and behave is undeniable, there exists a biological contribution. The question that now needs answering is to what extent biology affects the choices we make and the way other people treat us.
32. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Disagreement. B. Satisfaction.
C. Inspiration. D. Information.
33. What topic does the text focus on
A. Whether men and women are different.
B. Why minds and bodies are so different.
C. What causes the sex difference.
D. How different males and females are.
34. What does the study about monkeys prove
A. Monkeys have their own preferences.
B. Parents indeed have strong impacts.
C. Men and women are born different.
D. Females and males behave differently.
35. Which statement about sex differences does the author probably agree with
A. Biology contributes to the difference.
B. Biology mostly affects our choices.
C. Social influence can be ignored.
D. Peers have more impact than parents.

Intelligent technology has been widely applied in our daily life. For example, smart home systems can control lighting, temperature, and security with just a few taps on your phone. Smart wearable devices can monitor our health conditions and provide timely reminders for exercise and rest. In addition, intelligent transportation systems make our commuting more convenient and efficient.
In conclusion, intelligent technology has become an integral part of our life and learning science is essential for our personal growth and social development. Let's learn science and technology actively and create a better future together.
Thank you!

77. Possible version:
It was a sunny day today and I went to Xishan Park for a spring outing. The moment I entered the park, a variety of beautiful flowers and green trees came into sight. Attracted by the beauty, I couldn’t stop taking photos. As I wandered along the path, enjoying the beautiful view, I notices something unpleasant. Two schoolgirls jumped over the fence to pick flowers and climb the tree. Obviously they didn’t realize that their behavior had done great damage to the beauty of the park. Without hesitation, I went up and stopped them politely. Quite embarrassed, the two girls came out immediately. Then they took pictures outside the fence. Seeing that, I smiled and everything looked nicer in my eyes.
