21、   It started during a yoga class. She felt a strange pull on her neck, a feeling completely foreign to her. Her friend suggested she rush to the emergency room. It turned out that she was having a heart attack.

She didn’t share similar symptoms with someone who was likely to have a heart attack. She exercised, watched her plate and did not smoke. But on reviewing her medical history, I found that her cholesterol (胆固醇) level was sky-high. She had been prescribed a cholesterol-lowering statin (他汀) medication, but she never picked up the prescription because of the scary things she had read about statins on the Internet. She was the victim of fake medical news.

While misinformation has been the object of great attention in politics, medical misinformation might lead to an increase in deaths. As is true with fake news in general, medical lies tend to spread further than truths on the Internet—and they have very real bad consequences.

False medical information can also lead to patients experiencing greater side effects through the “nocebo effect (反安慰剂效应) ”. Sometimes patients benefit from an intervention (干预) simply because they believe they will—that’s the placebo effect (安慰剂效应) . The nocebo effect is the opposite. Patients can experience harmful effects because they anticipate them. This is very true of statins. In blinded trials, patients who get statins are no more likely to report feeling muscle aches than patients who get a placebo. Yet, in clinical practice, according to one study, almost a fifth of patients taking statins report side effects, leading many to discontinue the drugs.

What else is on the fake news hit list? As always, vaccines (疫苗) . False concerns that the vaccine may cause side effects have greatly reduced coverage rates.

Cancer is another big target for pushers of medical misinformation—many of whom refuse alternative therapies. “Though most people think cancer tumors are bad, they’re actually the way your body attempts to contain the harmful cells,” one fake news story reads. It warns that prescription medications lead to the uncontrolled cell mutations (变异) .

Silicon Valley needs to face this problem. I am not a free-speech lawyer, but when human health is at risk, perhaps search engines, social media platforms and websites should be held responsible for promoting or hosting fake information. Meanwhile, journalists should do a better job of spreading accurate information.

【1】We can learn from Paragraph 2 that ________.

A.the woman paid little attention to her daily diets

B.the unhealthy lifestyle might lead to the woman’s heart attack

C.the symptom of the heart attack was familiar to the woman

D.the woman didn’t take the prescription due to fake medical news

【2】According to the passage, the placebo effect functions because patients ________.

A.neglect necessary treatment B.discontinue the harmful drugs

C.believe the benefits of an intervention D.suffer more side effects

【3】What does the author mean by claiming that “he is not a free-speech lawyer” in the last paragraph?

A.He is a lawyer very easy to speak to.

B.He is good at speaking because of his job.

C.He is available to give a speech on the law.

D.He is very cautious when speaking something

【4】The main purpose of the passage is to ________.

A.remind us to take medication as prescribed

B.warn us against fake medical news on the Internet

C.encourage journalists to report more positive news events

D.teach us how to distinguish fake medical news on the Internet

22、   Several years ago,our family rented a house that had a basement apartment under ours.The young couple who lived below us were quiet and modest.Their dog,however,was not.

Cody was an outgoing black dog with a big tail.He loved to greet us by planting his huge paws on our chest.Our dog Tasha has a similar characteristic.Because she shared the yard with Cody,they soon became good friends.

We often saw a ball of black and white fur as they raced neck and neck toward some unlucky bird that had just landed in the yard.The only time I saw any conflict between the two dogs was when we fed Tasha Cody would jump up.expecting to share Tasha's food.However,Tasha would bark fiercely.Cody would change his strategy,dropping to his belly and moving slowly toward Tasha's dish.But this friendly behavior did not impress Tasha . The closer Cody got,the louder Tasha shouted.Finally.Cody would slip away with his tail between his legs-until next mealtime. Then Cody,ever the optimist,would replay the scene.with the same disappointing conclusion

One day my husband Jeff came home quite upset .He had just found Cody lying by the side of the road.killed by a speeding truck.Tasha cleaned Cody' s smooth black fur with her nose and mouth and whined(R).Over the next few weeks.Tasha was in low spirits with her tail between her legs.She obviously missed her old friend.

At the same time,Tasha's dish disappeared.We replaced it with another,only to have that one disappear as well.There followed a steady succession(连续）of bowls,plates,even an old coffee can.They all disappeared Finally,the mystery was solved when our neighbor knocked on our door,her arms loaded with the missing dishes,some still half-full of dog food.

＂Are these yours?"she asked.When Jeff and I nodded,she explained,"l saw Tasha headed  toward the road,so I followed her.Then I noticed all these dishes in a pile."

Puzzled,I asked,"Where were they?"

“Well,you know,"she answered thoughtfully,Fit was right by the place where Cody died. Isn't that strange?Surely Tasha couldn't..."Her voice turned down in confusion.

Jeff and I exchanged glances.Has Tasha been begging her old friend back by offering him the one thing she refused to give him when he was alive?Even today,retelling the story makes me feel sad.It raises questions about animal’s intelligence and emotions.It also reminds me that I need to share whatever blessings I've received with others---before it's too late.

A.was an outgoing white dog

B.lived in a basement apartment

D.was the enemy of Cody due to the yard

【2】A dog often feels disappointed or sad when

23、The best things to do in London

Discover the city with our list of the best things to do and see in London, for visitors and locals alike. From free days out to unmissable restaurants, this is your ultimate London checklist for 2021.

Admire the views from The Shard

What is it? Standing 309.6 metres (1,016 feet) high, it is London’s one and only 95-storey skyscraper, and the tallest building in Western Europe.

Why go? The Shard has established itself as a timeless London landmark despite being barely a handful of years old. As well as redefining the city skyline, it’s an ideal place from which to get a look at London in all its glory.

Hunt for antiques at Portobello Road Market

What is it? The world’s largest antiques market, on a picturesque shopping street in Notting Hill—now traffic-free for socially distanced browsing.

Why go? Although home to fruit and veg stalls too, Portobello Market is best known for the antiques and bric-à-brac stalls featuring at the Chepstow Villas end of the road. Don’t be fooled by the fold-out tables—this isn’t cheap tat and there are some serious treasures here. For more secondhand goodies, head further up the road, beyond the Westway.

Eat your way around Borough Market

What is it? Dating back to the thirteenth century, London’s oldest food market is a cornucopia of gourmet goodies.

Why go? It used to highlight British produce but nowadays you’ll find global traders and street-food vendors: enjoy French confit-duck sandwiches, Ethiopian stews and scotch eggs(elevated, of course).

Visit Hogwarts at the Harry Potter Studio Tour

What is it? There are a whole lot of Harry Potter locations in and around London, but the Warner Bros Studio Tour in Watford is the most magical.

Why go? The capital is heaving with Harry Potter hotspots. Locations like Diagon Alley were set here and scenes from the world-famous movie franchise were filmed here. There’re walking tours and photo opportunities at the actual Platform 93/4 in King’s Cross.

24、Many people rely on a cup of coffee or two to wake them up in the morning or refresh them during the working day, but now a chemist has come up with a speedy alternative to drinking coffee.

  U.S. biochemist Ben Yu has created ‘Sprayable Energy’, which claims to be the world's first caffeine - based topical energy spray.

He said tired workers can spray a 'shot' of caffeine onto their skin without experiencing a strong noise, taking in unnecessary calories or being stuck with a nasty aftertaste like they might get from drinking energy drinks or coffee.

  The tasteless caffeine spray is absorbed through the skin and spread through the body over a number of hours to deliver a caffeine hit that lasts longer than drinking a cup of coffee. The only active ingredient in the spray is caffeine, which is very similar to nicotine in structure. Each spray ‘Sprayable Energy’ contains around a quarter of the amount of caffeine found in a cup of coffee, but apparently has the same effect as a full cup.

  The website said: “The reason for this is our product isn't entirely metabolized(新陈代谢) by the liver before entering your system and becoming available to your body.” Sprayable Energy's website recommends that users apply the spray in places where they normally spritz perfume, such as wrists, the neck or behind the ears, but warns users not to exceed 20 times a day.

  It claims that after spraying the product on the skin, users will feel awake and focus without being over-excited, which is common with coffee and energy drinks.

【1】Compared with an energy drink or a coffee, what is good about “Sprayable Energy”?

A. It makes no noise.  

B. It contains lower calories.

C. It has a good taste.

D. It contains many active ingredients.

【2】Which of the body may not be suitable to apply “Sprayable Energy”?

A. The neck.   B. Behind the ears.   C. Wrists.   D. Mouth.

【3】What can we infer from the text?

A. “Sprayable Energy” contains caffeine as well as nicotine.

B. The liver can metabolize in caffeine before it enters your system.

C. Whenever you feel tired, you can spray the product.

D. After spraying “Sprayable Energy”, you’ll get rid of tiredness.

25、When my son Mark was eight years old, his teacher _________a class spelling contest, the prize being a pizza lunch for the winner plus three friends. Mark wanted to win that contest _________. He could practically _________the pizza, hot with cheese.

“Sure. You can spell it, ” barber Joe__________. “But do you have it? You have to have confidence in yourself, son. It’s a winner’s secret __________”Mark looked at barber Joe’s reflection in the mirror, being very __________to move only his eyes and not his head for fear of losing a piece of ear to barber Joe’s scissors. “The secret weapon, huh? Confidence!”And with that, Mark __________a new motto to his bag   of tricks: I CAN WIN THE SPELLING CONTEST!

And he did. And the pizza was __________ . And Mark never forgot barber Joe’s words: “You have got to have confidence in __________, son. It’s a winner’s secret weapon.”

__________later, after creating his own firm and __________himself as a famous architect, Mark began receiving interview requests.

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Cold drew many to South Africa and it was gold hut has just restored my faith in this chaotic nation.

As a British living in Cape Town, I recently received the call that my father had passed away. After the funeral in England, my mother gave me a gold ring, worn for decades by Dad and before him, by his own father. I’ve never really been into jewellery, yet when I sipped the ring on my finger it felt somehow right. Consoled (抚慰) in my grief by Dad’s beloved ring, I flew home to South Africa.

All went well until a windy Saturday when I walked on our local beach. As so often in the Cape, it was fiercely windy. When I got home and lit the fire, I looked at my left hand. The ring wasn’t there. Awful emotions washed over me—shock, horror, remorse, anger, powerlessness, guilt—a potential life sentence of guilt. Hoping that it had not been dropped on the beach, I looked everywhere else. Maybe the car? I searched every corner of it but fruitless. Maybe the house? Nothing.

It must have been the beach, an area stretching 200 metres from the car park—the ring, a very small needle in an ocean.

I was out at first light the next day but with no luck, discouraged. My only hope was this—the wind had been so strong that the ring could have been buried. It might just be there, somewhere.

I swore to recover it no matter how much I would pay, so I contacted local metal detector users. Two came to help, one even lending me his gear (设备). “Take as long as you need,” he said. Days of searching passed quickly, we found an old mobile phone, a 50 cent coin and a lot of bottle tops.

With my hopes filing, a third detectionist (探测者), Allan, called to help me.
