21、Summer heat can be dangerous, and heat leads to tragedy far too often. According to kidsandcars, org, an average of 37 young children per year die of car heat in the US, when they are accidentally left in a hot vehicle.

For Bishop Curry, a fifth grader from Mckinney, Texas, one such incident hit close to home. A six-month-old baby from his neighborhood died after hours in a hot car. After hearing about her death, Curry decided that something needed to be done. Young Curry, who turned 11 this year, has always had a knack for inventing things, and he drew up a sketch (草图) of a device he called “Oasis.”

The device would attach to carseats and watch the temperature inside the car. If it reached a certain temperature in the car, and the device sensed a child in the carseat, it would begin to circulate cool air. Curry also designs the device using GPS and Wi-Fi technology, which would alarm the child’s parents and, if there was no response from them, the police.

Curry’s father believes that the invention has potential. “The cool thing about Bishop’s thinking is none of this technology is new,” he said. “We feel like the way he’s thinking and combining all these technologies will get to production faster.” His father even introduced the device to Toyota, where he works as an engineer. The company was so impressed that they sent Curry and his father to a car safety conference in Michigan.

In January, Curry’s father launched a campaign for the invention. They hope to raise money to finalize the patent, build models, and find a manufacturer. Their goal was $20,000, but so many people believed in Oasis’ potential that they have raised more than twice that — over $46,000.

Curry’s father remembers the first time he saw his son’s sketch. “I was so proud of him for thinking of a solution,” he said. “We always just complain about things and rarely offer solutions.”

【1】What inspired Curry to invent Oasis?

A．His narrow escape from death after being locked in a car.

B．His knowledge of many children’s death because of car heat.

C．The death of his neighbor’s baby after being left in a hot car.

D．The injury of 37 children in his school in a car accident.

【2】What would Oasis do if it was hot in a car with a child?

A．It would inform the parents or even the police.

B．It would pump out the hot air in the car.

C．It would sound the alarm attached to the car.

D．It would get the window open to save the child.

【3】What does Curry’s father think is cool about Curry’s invention?

A．It used some of the most advanced technology.

B．It simply combined technologies that existed.

C．It could accelerate production of new technology.

D．It is the most advanced among similar products.

【4】Why did Curry’s father start a campaign to raise money?

A．To conduct experiments to test the invention.

B．To get other children devoted to inventions.

C．To support a charity of medical aid for children.

D．To get the patent and bring it to production.

23、A recent study published in the journal Nature has revealed that our Medieval ancestors left us with a biological legacy: Genes that may have helped them survive the Black Death make us more vulnerable to certain diseases today.

Barreiro and his colleagues examined ancient DNA samples from the bones of more than 200 people from London and Denmark who died over about 100 years that stretched before, during, and after the Black Death swept through that region.

They identified four genes that, depending on the variant, either protected against or increased vulnerability(易损性)to the bacteria that causes bubonic plague(腺鼠疫). They found that what helped people in Medieval times led to problems generations later — raising the frequency of mutations(突变) harmful in modern times. Some of the same genetic variants identified as protective against the plague are associated with certain autoimmune disorders, such as Crohn’s disease. In these sorts of diseases, the immune system that defends the body against disease and infection attacks the body’s own healthy tissues.

Past research has also sought to examine how the Black Death affected the human genome. But Barreiro said he believes theirs is the first demonstration that the Black Death was important to the evolution of the human immune system. One unique aspect of the study, he said, was to focus on a narrow time window around the event. It’s extremely sophisticated and addresses important issues, such as how the same version of a gene can protect people from a horrific infection and also put modern people at risk for other illnesses.

All of this begs the question: Will the COVID-19 pandemic have a big impact on human evolution? Barreiro said he doesn’t think so because the death rate is so much lower and the majority of people who have died had already had children. In the future, however, he said more deadly pandemics may well continue to shape us at the most basic level. “It’s not going to stop. It’s going to keep going for sure.”

【1】How did Barreiro’s team come up with the finding?

A．By analyzing DNA samples from targeted bones.

B．By testing the vulnerability of four specific genes.

C．By identifying the frequency of harmful mutations.

D．By focusing on the consequences of autoimmune disorders.

【2】What does Barreiro believe make their research distinct from previous research?

A．It is the first to show a variant of gene can lead to infection.

B．It illustrates how gene variants can make us free of immune disorders.

C．It focuses on an extensive time window around the Black Death event.

D．It is the first to confirm the plague is responsible for certain immune disorders.

【3】Which of the following statements will Barreiro probably agree with?

A．There will be more pandemics causing death to people.

B．COVID-19 pandemic will continue to impact human evolution.

C．New pandemics may still influence how human immune system develops.

D．Modern people are protected from deadly pandemics due to the same gene.

【4】What is a suitable title for the text?

A．Genetic variants: They make us victims of the Black Death

B．Genetic twist: Medieval plague may have shaped our immunity

C．Time window: The factor plays an important role in a recent study

D．Deadly pandemics: They will keep changing our immune system for sure

24、Nobody likes to fail. It makes people feel embarrassed and discouraged. What's worse, it may cause major professional or personal trouble and lead to negativity. Basically, failure is no fun for most people. However, a vast body of research tells us that failure provides us with a chance to grow and develop, increases adaptability, and helps protect against anxiety.

It's hard to change the mindset (心态) of a lifetime. But even if we still can't get over the broken marriage or the failed College Entrance Examination or the work presentation that went fearfully wrong, it might not be too late for our kids.

Christy Pennison, a professional consultant, says she works with an increasing number of kids and teens who show significant anxiety around a fear of failure. She said, "We want to protect our children, and we want them to live happy and meaningful lives, so we frequently tell them the harm of failure and ask them to avoid failure. The children experiencing internal and sometimes extenal pressure think they shouldn't fail. Meanwhile, we always have high expectations of them. So when they don't live up to a certain standard, or things don't go according to the plans, they will feel upset and anxious."

Pennison argues that failures, are often the hidden learning chances that can help people develop positive qualities, like persistence, focus, flexibility, patience, and positive self-image.

So what can parents do to help their children embrace (拥抱) failure instead of avoiding it at all costs? Pennison suggests directing praise towards the effort, not the result. "This allows children to build confidence in themselves, "she explains." Acknowledging the effort can give children permission to try new things without a fear of failure. And the bigger picture is that the development of the mindset —'I'd rather try and fail than not try at all.'—helps them keep a belief in themselves, and expands their world of possibilities." As Pennison points out, we all fail, but how we get up after we fail is what matters.

【1】What aspect do most people focus on when thinking of failure?

A．The great courage to face it.

B．The efforts made to handle it.

C．Unexpected benefits it brings.

D．Unpleasant side effects it brings.

【2】What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?

A．Bring up the main topic.

B．List the challenges in our life.

C．Add some background information.

D．Stress the importance of the mindset

【3】What is mainly talked about in the third paragraph?

A．The causes of children's anxiety.

B．Christy Pennison's comments on adolescents.

C．The consequences of overprotecting children.

D．Christy Pennison's experience in educating children.

【4】Which of the following advice can help parents encourage kids to face failure?

① Praise kids' every achievement.

② Make kids embrace a bright mindset.

③ Focus on the process of kids' effort

④ Expand kids' knowledge about the world.

⑤ Encourage kids to make new attempts.

A．①②④

B．②③④

C．②③⑤

D．①③⑤

26、根据写作要求，参考短文内容，写出一篇连贯完整的短文。词数不少于60。开头已给出。

Help Hermit Crabs

Hermit crabs are nature’s recyclers. They eat waste and help keep oceans and shores clean. Unlike other crabs, the hermit crab has a thin outer shell over its soft tail. This makes the hermit crab easy prey for hungry predators (天敌). Hermit crabs stay safe by living in old seashells. A hermit crab is picky (狡猾); it tries on many shells until it finds one that fits just right. In recent years, however, many hermit crabs have had trouble finding their perfect homes. What is the problems There are not enough shells to go around!

One reason for the seashell shortage is that ocean water is not as clean as it once was. This has caused chemical changes to sea water. Some sea animals, like snails, are affected by these changes.  Now there are fewer snails making shells. People visiting the beach often take shells home as souvenirs (纪念品). This is another problem. Other people even take shells for their own pet hermit crabs! They do not realize that hermit crabs in the wild need those shells too.

Now people are working to solve this hermit crab housing shortage. They are teaching beach-Boers to leave seashells where they belong--at the seashore! Some people even make fake seashells that they hope the hermit crabs will like. For example, a group called Project Shelter invited people who visited their website to create different designs for hermit crab shells.

These designers had a lot to consider. What kind of material should be used to build a seashells. The material must be light enough for the hermit crab to carry, but strong enough to protect the crab from predators. The man-made shells could not contain glue or any other substance (物质) that might harm a hermit crab. Another challenge with building a hermit crab home was the opening to the shell. Too big would mean the crab would not feel safe. Too small would be uncomfortable, and the crab would not want to move in.

The Project Shelter shells are placed in the wild for hermit crabs to find. Lucky hermit crabs can move into these new dream homes.
