As a medical student in Richmond, Eleanor Love showed up to as many wedding venues as possible, even when she didn’t know the bride and groom. She would call their wedding coordinators (协调员) and ask if she could stop by after their big day, and they almost always agreed.
Love, now a Virginia- based doctor, knows that weddings create a lot of leftover flowers- and that means more opportunities for her to collect after-wedding flowers and give them to her lonely hospital patients, many of whom don’t often get visitors, let alone expensive flowers.
Love, 27, who recently graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine and is doing a general residency at Riverside Regional Medical Center in Newport News, decided on the idea while working at the VCU hospital as a medical student and was interacting with patients who were severely ill. “You are there primarily as a learner, but you want to make an impact on your patients, and you don’t have the same knowledge as physicians,” Love thought.
So in 2019, she started The Simple Sunflower in Richmond, and so far has delivered more than 760 bunches of flowers to patients at VCU Medical Center. She brought fellow students and other people into her project, and now has more than 200 volunteers on the email list. She said the idea is not new, and that other cities across the country have similar programs.
Love has a lifelong appreciation of flowers and gardening, which she got from her mother. Love recalls her father taking her to a garden store and letting her pick a seed packet. She chose sunflower seeds and planted them—and years later, she chose The Simple Sunflower as the name for her group. Love, who worked part-time in a flower shop before medical school, cited several studies showing that flowers and other plants help hospital patients recover.
24. Why does Love frequent wedding venues
A. To make new friends.
B. To bless the bride and groom.
C. To work as a coordinator.
D. To pick up leftover flowers.
25. What made Love start The Simple Sunflower
A. The requirements of a student doctor. .
B. Her intention to help lonely patients.
C. Encouragement from her fellow students.
D. Her desire to be a pioneer in the field.
26. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. Love’s bond with flowers.
B. Love’s study in a medical school.
C. Love’s efforts to expand her project.
D. Love’s appreciation for her parents’ help.
27. Which of the following can best describe Love
A. Caring and devoted.
B. Courageous and strict.
C. Innocent and generous.
D. Ambitious and sensitive.
C
The 1930s and early 1940s were a good time to fish for sardines (沙丁鱼) off California. Centered on Monterey Bay, catches increased dramatically and supported the state’s economy. But the situation began to change in 1946, and sardine catches eventually fell from an average of 234,000 tons to just 24,000 tons. The industry went belly-up.
Scientists have guessed for decades about what caused this phenomenon, but they lacked data to test their theories. Now researchers have finally found one apparent cause: cycles of ocean upwelling, a defining feature of the West Coast sea environment in which deep, nutrient-rich water rises to the nutrient-poor surface and restores the food supply there. The key that unlocked this phenomenon turned out to be old seaweed specimens (标本) gathered around the U. S.
“Plants are just sitting there, recording data about the state of the ocean,” says Kyle Van Houtan, chief scientist at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and senior author of the new study. Van Houtan and others had suspected the impact of upwelling, but scientists only started measuring the process in Monterey Bay in 1946. Historic seaweed specimens, Van Houtan realized, might fill in the blanks for earlier years—similar to the way ice cores can help reconstruct CO2 levels from times before researchers started collecting real-time measurements.
For the new study, the scientists relied on the fact that deeper water near Monterey typically hosts more of a particular nitrogen isotope (氮同位素). Looking at modern upwelling data and recently collected seaweed, they found that higher levels of this nitrogen in the plants’ cells corresponded with periods of more upwelling. Next they measured the isotope levels in 70 historic specimens of the red seaweed Gelidium, gathered from Monterey as far back as 1878. The results suggested a gradual increase in upwelling and then a dramatic decrease, which lined up with the sardine population’s growth and decline.
“This paper is an excellent example of the creative detective work of historical ecology,” says Loren McClenachan, a marine ecologist at Colby College, who was not involved in the research. “There are thousands and thousands of similar specimens in collections around the world, and applying similar methods could teach us a great deal about long-term ocean change.”
28. What does the underlined part “went belly-up” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Sprang up. B. Caught on. C. Crashed. D. Participated.
29. What does the author want to show by mentioning ice cores
A. The significance of historic specimens.
B. The severity of global climate change.
C. The effectiveness of real-time measurements.
D. The necessity of sea level reconstruct ion.
30. How did the scientists carry out the new study
A. By comparing different kinds of seaweed.
B. By analyzing historic and current data.
C. By recording the upwelling process.
D. By measuring the CO2 levels.
31. What can be the best title for the text
A. The Rise and Fall of Red Seaweed Gelidium
B. Sardines Have Been Hard Hit by Overfishing
C. The Hidden History of Fisheries in the West Coast
D. Old Seaweed Reveals Secret of Monterey Sardine History

Digital life reaches far beyond our screens into the real world. That means we must figure out how to live with the impact of technology in our backyards.
isn’t always easy. Some residents of towns near e-commerce processing centers complain about traffic, pollution and safety risks from delivery munities where water is in short supply are worried about the needs of internet computer centers that use water to keep equipment cool. Neighbors sometimes complain about noise or garbage from nearby commercial kitchens and warehouses (仓库) for delivery services like Uber Eats.
Not so long ago, technology’s impact on our physical world wasn’t quite so obvious. What has changed is the rapid growth in demand. To meet demand, Amazon and other internet shopping companies have been opening warehouses and package distribution centers closer to where we panies that deliver food to our door need to have real estate and transportation close to our homes and work. And the effects of climate change have made the competition for energy and water more urgent.
No individual or company is at fault for this situation on its own. Our collective demand for more online things is to blame, and the public, the government and companies need to face this new reality far more directly.
An article by The Information about conflicts over Amazon package operations in Milford, Mass., mentioned that the company formed a task force to address communities’ concerns about the impact of its delivery operations. Milford also appointed two officers to share residents’ concerns with Amazon. I don’ t know if that s effective cooperation or window dressing, but it feels like a good first step to acknowledge that changing the places we live comes with tough questions about whether new neighbors are doing more good than harm.
Last year, I spoke with Richard Mays，the mayor (市长) of The Dalles, Ore., a town that is home to multiple computer data centers. Our conversation stuck with me because it got to the heart of the issue: Are these technology companies, many of them now in our backyards and on our streets, contributing more than they’ re taking
32. What does the author try to stress in paragraph 2
A. The serious problems of traffic and pollution.
B. The development of communities in urban areas.
C. The distribution of e-commerce processing centers.
D. The residents’suffering caused by nearby e-commerce.
33. What does the author think of technology s impact on our physical world
A. It is under companies’ control.
B. It has to do with public demand.
C. It can be fought off effectively.
D. It goes unnoticed by the public.
34. What is the purpose of Amazon’s task force
A. To help Amazon serve more communities.
B. To promote Amazon’s delivery operations.
C. To ease the locals’ worries about Amazon.
D. To seek the government’s cooperation with Amazon.
35. What is the author s attitude to the benefits of technology companies close to communities
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Uncaring. D. Contradictory.

Kailash knows the thought of public speaking is enough to send many people into a cold sweat-he's been there. He made his first public speaking in Year 4 at a time when his confidence had been broken down by a bully(霸凌者). He still gets scared thinking about it today because he had to go in front of the whole class and recite a poem that made no sense whatsoever.
By Year 5, Kailash started to hone his skills with the help of his father so that he could run for school captain in Year 6, but he was very shy and he couldn't speak very well. So he started to practise and practise. That's a good point for kids-they don't apply for leadership positions because they are nervous, even though they'd make great leaders.
Kailash went on to score the role of vice-captain, despite his speech not going to plan. He made a joke but he made it so poorly that they laughed at him, not at the joke. But he said making mistakes is a key part of the public speaking learning. Things like that happen and it's OK. You have to have the confidence to be OK with that and the resilience(弹性)to get back up.
Kailash, who counts a 4000-strong Sydney Opera House crowd and a community-based TEDx event among his public speaking credits, said public speaking skills have huge benefits in day-to-day life, from interacting with teachers to going for a job interview. Public speaking teaches young people to be comfortable in themselves. So it teaches you about self-esteem, to accept who you are. Making eye contact and smiling to connect with your audience are other key steps in pulling off public speaking, along with wearing something that makes you feel comfortable and confident.
24. What does the underlined word "hone" in paragraph 2 mean
A. Test. B. Review. C. Perform. D. Exercise.

If you live in certain parts of the world, you will see something magical happen each fall. It is the changing of the color of the leaves on many different trees. Each year deciduous(落叶的)trees go through a process in which their green leaves become bright yellow, gold, orange and red before turning brown and falling onto the ground.
Photosynthesis(光合作用)is the process for trees to make their food. Taking energy from the sun, water from the ground, and carbon dioxide from the -air, they make sugar to "eat" so they can grow into strong, healthy trees. The leaves of a tree are where photosynthesis happens because the chlorophyll(叶绿素)in the leaves is what makes photosynthesis possible. Chlorophyll also has another job-it is what makes leaves green. When the seasons change in places, where deciduous trees grow and the days get shorter and the weather gets colder, it is harder for the chlorophyll in the leaves to make the food needed to stay green. So instead of making more food, the leaves start using food they have stored away for this time of year.
As the leaves use the food that has been stored away, cells form at the bottom of each leaf. These cells act like a door between the leaf and the rest of the tree-a door that closes very slowly and doesn't shut until all the leaf's food is gone. While this is happening, the colors in the leaves of the trees are able to show through. In fact, the red, yellow, gold and orange colors are hiding in the leaves all summer long. The colors just can't be seen in the summer because of all the chlorophyll in the leaves.
You might be wondering how the rest of the tree keeps growing when the weather turns cold and the leaves die and fall. Doesn't the rest of the tree need the food made by the tree's leaves
Not really. The tree trunk and branches get food from the roots of the tree. The roots supply water, vitamins and minerals they get from the ground. Trees need sunshine and warm weather to grow, but they also need time to rest like bears that sleep during the winter.
32. Why do leaves change colors
A. They save some energy to stay alive. B. The chlorophyll stores some food away.
C. They have to get used to the cold weather. D. They can't get enough energy from the sun.
33. In which situation do leaves fall off deciduous trees
A. When there is no sunlight any longer.
B. When the food stored away in the leaves is used up.
C. When the chlorophyll in the leaves stops working.
D. When cells start to form at the bottom of each leaf.
34. How do trees survive in winter
A. By getting food from the ground. B. By storing food in their branches.
C. By storing food in their roots. D. By making the most use of the dead leaves.
35. What is the purpose of the text
A. To study how trees survive in winter. B. To tell about the importance of photosynthesis.
C. To explain why leaves change colors. D. To show the changes of trees in the whole year.

Can robots be creative British art gallery owner Aidan Meller thinks so. He hopes to be-gin answering that question with a robot called Ai-Da. Meller is overseeing the building of all her parts by engineers at Engineered Arts, a company based in Cornwall, England. The engineers believe the robot will be able to make pictures of people from sight with a writing instrument in her hand. Meller wants the robot to perform like a human artist.
He spoke to the Reuters news agency after seeing Ai-Da's head being carefully brought to life by specialists who were connecting individual hairs to form eyebrows. He said, "She's go-ing to actually be drawing and we're hoping to then build technology for her to paint. "But al-so as a performing artist, "she'll be able to engage with audiences and actually get messages across, asking those questions about technology today, "he added.
Ai-Da's skeletal robotic head may still be separate from her body, but her movements are very alive. Cameras in each of her eyeballs recognize human body parts. Ai-Da will make eye contact and follow you around the room, opening and closing her mouth as you do. If you get too close, the robot will back away, closing and then opening her eyes as if in shock.
The specialists are using the company's Mesmer lifelike robot technology to create her head. Once finished, Ai-Da will have a mixed-race appearance, with long dark hair and rubber-like skin made from silicone. The teeth and skin inside her mouth will come from a 3-D printer. Marcus Hold works at Engineered Arts. He said Mesmer" brings together the development of software mechanics and electronics to produce a lifelike face with lifelike gestures in a small human sized package. "
Ai-Da will make her first public appearance at an exhibit called "Unsecured Futures" at the University of Oxford. Some of her pictures are expected to appear at another show in Lon-don later this year.
24. What does Meller want Ai-Da to be
A. A consultant. B. An engineer. C. A professional painter. D. A robot artist.

Are you wondering whether it's worth going for a little jog Don't hesitate, and get your sports shoes on. A new study shows that proper running lowers the risk of premature（过早的）death. In an analysis of 14 previous studies from the US and Denmark, the group of researchers from institutes in Australia and Finland concluded that increasing running participation would probably lead to substantial improvements in population health and longevity. The studies involved 232, 149 participants over time periods ranging from 5. 5 to 35 years. Overall, people running any distance were associated with a 27% lower risk of death from all causes than those who did not, the analysis shows. Running was also associated with a 30%and 23% lower risk of death from cardiovascular（心血管的）disease and cancer, respectively. Previous studies had concluded "inconsistent findings" about whether running could lower the risk of premature death, according to the researchers. Lead researcher Jim White, a professor at Victoria University in Melbourne, told CNN: "Our recent findings may motivate physically inactive individuals to take up running and those who already run to keep on doing it. "He added that doctors may be encouraged by our findings to promote running as a part of "lifestyle medicine". In their paper, which will be published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, the researchers say health professionals are sometimes wary of promoting running because vigorous（剧烈的）use of it has been linked with sudden cardiac death. Jim and his team countered this by noting that the benefit of running outweighs the risk. However, they did say advice should be given on a case-by-case basis, as running might not be appropriate for everyone. Although running has a clear overall health benefit, the researchers point out that higher "doses" of running may not reduce the risk of premature death further. According to the WHO's guidelines, adults aged between 18 and 64 should take 150 minutes of gentle exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise each week.
28. What did the new study focus on
A. People's living conditions. B. People's lifestyles.
C. The benefit of jog. D. The popularity of jog.
29. What will the study contribute to according to Jim
A. People's involvement in running. B. People's losing weight.
C. Doctors' quicker treatment. D. Researchers' promotion of sport.
30. What does the underlined word "wary" in paragraph5 mean
A. Certain. B. Capable. C. Cautious. D. Confident.
31. What's the last paragraph mainly about
A. The risk of exercising vigorously.
B. The suggestion on running appropriately.
C. The reason why people should keep running.
D. The argument about whether running benefits people.

Light pollution is blocking a starry view of the night sky for more than half of people across England, a research has found.
Fifty-seven percent of stargazers（观星者）struggled to see more than 10 stars, while just 2% of participants said they experienced a truly dark sky enabling them to count more than 30, according to the research by the Campaign to Protect Rural England(CPRE). People in the countryside were encouraged to count how many stars they could see with eyes within the constellation（星座）of Orion, which is visible only in the winter months.
Campaigners said the results of the star count, supported by the British Astronomical Association, showed the problem of light pollution and how it affected one of the countryside's most magical sights—a dark, starry night sky. They said the results of the research to map England's night skies suggested more could be done by the government, local councils and the general public to lessen the negative effects of artificial light from streets and buildings.
Emma Marrington, dark skies campaigner at the CPRE, said: "We're hugely grateful to the people who took the time to get out and take part in our star count. But it's deeply disappointing that the vast majority were unable to experience the natural wonder of a truly dark sky blanketed with stars. Without intervention, our night sky will continue to be lost under a covering of artificial light, ruining the health of the natural world. "
She added: "The star count results show just how far-reaching the light from street lights and buildings can be seen. Light doesn't respect boundaries, and careless use can see it spread for miles from cities. "
She suggested better-designed lighting, street light dimming（暗淡）systems and part-night lighting where some street lights are turned off during the small hours should provide an opportunity to limit the damage caused by light pollution, reduce carbon emissions and save money.
32. What effect does the light pollution bring about to England
A. It leads the stars to disappear. B. It makes the countryside dim.
C. It makes the environment terrible. D. It prevents the people seeing stars.
33. What causes the light pollution according to the text
A. More and more buildings. B. Less and less outdoor activities.
C. The overuse of artificial light. D. The spread of light in the countryside.
34. How does Emma feel about the stargazers' efforts
A. Appreciative. B. Surprised. C. Regretful. D. Disappointed.
35. What is Emma's suggestion for dealing with the light pollution
A. Changing the streets' design. B. Turning off lights at night.
C. Spreading light further. D. Using street lights wisely.

B篇
主题语境：人与社会——社会服务与人际沟通
本文是新闻报道。医学院毕业生洛夫成立了The Simple Sunflower项目，从婚礼上收集鲜花，免费送给病
人，以帮助抚慰他们的孤独。
24.D。理解具体信息。根据第二段中的Love, now a Virginia-based doctor, knows that weddings create a lot of leftover flowers—and that means more opportunities for her to collect after-wedding flowers and give them to her lonely hospital patients可知，洛夫知道婚礼现场肯定会有很多剩余的鲜花，她可以把这些花收集起来送给许多鲜有人探望的病人。
25.B。理解具体信息。根据第三段中的Love...decided on the idea while working at the VCU hospital as a medical student and was interacting with patients who were severely ill. “You are there primarily as a learner,but you want to make an impact on your patients,and you don’t have the same knowledge as physicias,”可知，洛夫在那家医院是一名实习医生，她想帮助病人，但又没有医生的专业知识，于是决定做一件自己力所能及的事情一成立The Simple Sunflower项目。
26.A。理解主旨要义。本段作者先是介绍了洛夫对花的喜爱离不开母亲的影响，接着提到父亲带她买花籽的经历，然后又提到洛夫对花的关注和研究。因此本段的主旨是洛夫和花之间的渊源。
27.A。推断。文中讲到洛夫在医院看到病人时就想着给他们送花，帮助抚慰他们的孤独，为了把这样的积极影响扩散，她成立了The Simple Sunflower项目，说明她是一个有爱心，有奉献精神的人。
C篇
主题语境：人与自然——自然生态
本文是新闻报道。文章揭秘了美国加州蒙特利湾的沙丁鱼数量忽多忽少这一现象。
28.C。理解词汇。第一段前半部分提到加州蒙特利湾的沙丁鱼捕获量大幅增加，支撑了该州的经济（catches increased dramatically and supported the state’s economy），紧接着用But一词转折，指出沙丁鱼的数量锐减（sardine catches eventually fell from an average of 234,000 tons to just 24,000tons）。由此可知，该行业遭受重创。belly-up中的belly意为“肚子”，描绘出“鱼肚皮朝天（即死亡）”的情形，常用go belly-up表示“破产、倒闭、失败”，也可写作go belly up。
29.A。理解目的。文章提到ice cores是在第三段，根据其中的ice cores can help reconstruct CO2 levels from times before researchers started collecting real-time measurements可知，提到冰芯是为了说明历史标本对科学研究的重要意义。注：冰川学家发现从冰川的冰芯样品中，可以得到过去气候变动和环境变迁的重要信息，从而评估自然现象和人类活动对气候和环境的影响，另外还便于研究地质、气候的变化。
30.B。理解具体信息。倒数第二段介绍了科学家的研究方法，分为两步：首先通过分析现代上升流资料和新近搜集的海藻（Looking at modern upwelling data and recently collected seaweed），然后测量相关海藻的历史标本中的氮同位素水平值（Next they measured the isotope levels in70 historic specimens of the red seaweed Gelidium）。由此可知，科学家是通过分析新旧资料而开展这项研究的。注：upwelling意为“上升流”，是从表层以下沿直线上升的洋流。如风吹走表层水，由下面的水上升得以补充。
31.D。理解主旨要义。第一段提到沙丁鱼数量剧增和骤减这一现象，随后第二段解释其原因（上升流循环），第三段指出利用历史标本的意义，第四段介绍研究方法，最后一段引述人物观点说明这项发现的重要意义。由此可知，文章围绕利用海藻标本揭秘蒙特利湾的沙丁鱼数量变化展开，D项内容概括了文章主旨。
D篇
主题语境：人与社会——科学与技术
本文是议论文。科技越来越深入我们的生活，越来越多的科技公司为了给大众提供更便捷的服务，将公司建到了居民区，作者对此事发表了自己的看法。

33.B。理解具体信息。第二段谈到电子商务给人们的生活带来了影响；根据第三段中的Not so long ago...is the rapid growth in demand以及第四段中的No individual or company is at fault for this situation on its own.Our collective demand for more online things is to blame可知，大众的需求才是这一影响的根本原因。
34.C。理解具体信息。根据倒数第二段中的...the company formed a task force to address communities’ concerns about the impact of its delivery operations可知，亚马逊成立工作小组是为解决因公司物流运转给社区带来困扰的问题。注：本段中的window dressing意为“弄虚作假，装饰门面”。
35.A。理解观点、态度。根据最后一段中的Our conversation stuck with me because it got to the heart of the issue:Are these technology companies,many of them now in our backyards and on our streets,contributing more than they’re taking 可知，和市长的交流触及到了一个核心问题：这些位于居民区的科技公司，到底是在为我们服务还是在给我们制造麻烦？由此可推知，作者对在居民区兴办科技公司的益处持怀疑态度。
