21、   Megan Piontkowski, an artist and illustrator, was out of work due to the pandemic (流行病). She learned through a friend that a Brooklyn hospital needed fabric masks for workers. Piontkowski already had some fabric on hand and a sewing machine, so she got to work. She washed the fabric, sewed masks, washed them again, and hung them to dry. After that she drove them to the hospital. When she asked if the hospital would pay for the masks. she was told they had no money.

“I felt very mixed about it,” she told VOX, a famous American TV station. She knew the hospital needed masks badly. But meanwhile, “I’m out of work and I 'm being asked to donate them.” “The fact that she wasn't compensated(补偿) for sewing highly necessary items felt like a ease of traditional ‘women’s work’ not being valued,” Piontkowski said. While larger companies have begun massive cloth masks in recent weeks, much of the work of making the protective clothes, especially in the early stages of the pandemic, was done at home-often by women. That gender breakdown is continuing in some volunteer efforts-about 85 percent of the around 70 volunteers sewing masks for the New York City-based group Face Mask Aid, for example, are women.

And masks are only part of the story. The demands of daily life during the coronavirus pandemic are many, from shopping for food shortages and virus fears to caring for children when schools and day cares are closed. And in many cases, women are the ones figuring out how to meet those new demands. Some women are still working outside the home a essential workers but shouldering care responsibilities when they get home.

It doesn’t have to be this way. With more men going into tasks like cooking and educating children, it is potential to reset gender norms. “The pandemic is potentially sparking new conversations about divisions of labor,” Jill Yavorsky, a sociology professor at the University of North Carolina, Charlotte, told VOX.

【1】What can we learn about Megan Piontkowski from paragraph 1?

A.She would be paid for the masks.

B.She used the fabric to make masks.

C.She often worked for a Brooklyn hospital.

D.She usually drove to the hospital with masks.

【2】What does the underlined word “mixed” in paragraph 2 mean?

A.Confused. B.Upset.

C.Combined. D.Anxious.

【3】What can we learn from Paragraph 2?

A.Traditional women's work is highly valued.

B.Women are expert at making protective clothes.

C.Gender breakdown is going on in some volunteer efforts.

D.Larger companies produced massive masks al the beginning.

【4】What conclusion can we draw from the last two paragraphs?

A.Now men do more chores than women. B.It is unlikely to reset gender norms.

C.Women did all the tasks all the time. D.New division of labor might appear.

22、Earlier this month, two rock climbers achieved what many thought impossible: They climbed up the 3,000-foot-high Dawn Wall in Yosemite National Park without specialized equipment. Climbing without this equipment is called“free-climbing.”Until now, no one had free-climbed to the top of the rock face, which is a part of the mountain EI Capitan.

El Capitan, which means“the captain”or“the chief”in Spanish, has always presented a challenge to climbers. But the Dawn Wall, on the mountain’s southeast face, is a particularly difficult route to the summit (顶峰). It is a rock formation that is both steep and relatively smooth. This makes free-climbing the rock face seem almost impossible.

About seven years ago, professional climber Tommy Caldwell spotted a possible route up the wall. It took years of planning and preparation, but this month, Caldwell, 36, and his friend Kevin Jorgeson, 30, finally make the climb.

Free climbers do use ropes and other basic safety equipment to catch them if they fall — and Caldwell and Jorgeson fell often. Before starting their climb, they broke down their route into 32 sections. Each section was based on a rope length called a“pitch.”The rope was secured into the rock face to catch the climbers if they fell.

Caldwell and Jorgeson’s goal was to climb the Dawn Wall without returning to the ground. If they fell, they had to start that pitch all over again. The two men started climbing on December 27. They slept in hanging tents, and a team of friends brought them food each day.

The men had spent years rehearsing (排练) the movements it would take to get through each pitch. They made it through the fist half of the climb relatively easily. But halfway up, Jorgeson ran into trouble. In one difficult spot, he fell each time he attempted to climb. After 10 days of trying, Jorgeson finally made it to the next pitch.

Getting through that troublesome pitch gave both climbers renewed energy. They finished the rest of the climb five days later, on January 14.

【1】What does Paragraph 2 mainly explain?

A．Why the Dawn Wall is a hard challenge.

B．Why people prefer climbing El Capitan.

C．How to free-climb the Dawn Wall.

D．How El Capitan got its name.

【2】To climb Yosemite’s Dawn Wall, Caldwell and Jorgeson .

B. chose the nearest route

C. made thoughtful preparations

D. used special equipment

【3】What can we learn about this world, s toughest climb?

A．It includes 32 different routes.

B．It is also the world, s highest climb.

C．It was once completed by Caldwell 7 years ago.

D．It took the two climbers 19 days to get to the top.

【4】Which of the following words can best describe Jorgeson?

A．Proud but patient.

B．Cautious and friendly.

C．Brave and determined.

D．Imaginative but half-hearted.

24、For most children, bath time is fun. But four-year-old Harry Floyd used to have a very different experience—soon after climbing into the water he felt itchy (发痒的) from head to foot.

Harry first started to develop small itchy bumps on the skin at three months old. He woke at 3 a. m. and was covered in the bumps, but they cleared up within an hour. When Harry's mother Lisa got him to the doctor, there was nothing to see. Lisa initially thought it was the soap that Harry was allergic to, but even when she just used water to bathe him he would still get the bumps. Lisa was then alarmed to see that when the weather was really cold or hot Harry would start to get them. Within a few minutes they would spread over his body.   He'd just scream and try to scratch them.

Lisa and her husband Eddie took Harry to the doctor many times over the next year, but were told it was simply a virus and the condition wouldn't affect his older brother, Oliver. At six months Harry was diagnosed with several food allergies, which doctors thought might have caused the bumps. But Harry continued to get the bumps even after shunning those foods. Out of desperation, the family took Harry to Great Ormond Street Hospital to see a private specialist. By coincidence, Harry got the bumps when they were waiting to see the consultant. So the consultant saw exactly how severe it was. And Harry was diagnosed with physical urticaria (荨麻疹), a skin allergy to a host of common triggers (触发物). Since the diagnosis, Harry’s condition has greatly improved.

The cause of physical urticaria is still a mystery. Genetics may play a role and stress has been seen as a trigger. From newborn babies to the old are likely to suffer from it. Recent research suggests around one million people in Britain suffer from the condition, although experts say this may be inaccurate, with many more going undiagnosed.

【1】Why does Harry's problem remain unsolved at the first time?

A．Lisa was unsure about the triggers.

B．Hospital equipment was not advanced.

C．His symptoms disappeared in a short time.

D．Doctors lacked experience to identify the bumps.

【2】What does the underlined word “shunning” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A．Digesting.

B．Avoiding.

C．Selecting.

D．Ignoring.

【3】What can we know from the last paragraph?

A．Physical urticaria can start at any age.

B．Harry's father used to have physical urticaria.

C．Physical urticaria is rather uncommon in Britain.

D．Physical urticaria can be easily passed on to children.

【4】What does the text mainly talk about?

A．The symptoms of a rare disease.

B．The possible causes of physical urticaria.

C．A family seeking treatment for their injured kid.

D．A little boy suffering from a terrible skin allergy.
