26、 There is nothing more important than the safety of our children. Did you know that unintentional injury(意外伤害) is the leading cause of death in children under 14 years old with a third of them happening in the home? One of the top reasons a child under the age of three will visit an emergency room is because of household injuries and sadly, 70% of children who die from unintentional injuries are under the age of four. Every room in the home will have its own set of child safety problems. Two of the main danger zones are the kitchen and the bathroom.
Before I became a young mother, I crawled (爬)around the house on my hands and knees to see things from a child’s perspective(视角). You would be amazed at what you can discover by doing something so simple. We didn’t have toilet covers. A child is top heavy because their heads are bigger than their bodies and can easily fall into the toilet.
You might be surprised with the number of children falling out of windows every year, especially during the summer months. Something as simple as a child leaning against a window screen can result in a serious injury. The best way to prevent this type of injury is by setting up a child safety window guard.
As parents, we do the best we can by providing as much protection as possible to make sure of the safety of children. And as there are so many products out there to help us do this, there is nothing like good old-fashioned supervision(监护). So, use common sense and products that help to keep your child safe, and you will have provided a safe environment for your children.
【1】What’s the main reason for death in children under 14 according to paragraph one?
A.Age problems. B.No sense of safety.
C.Danger areas. D.Unexpected injuries.
【2】Why did the writer crawl around the house on the hands and knees?
A.To cover the toilet. B.To protect her child.
C.To look for something. D.To discover dangers from a child’s point.
【3】What should we do to protect children from falling out of windows?
A.Keep away from a window. B.Place a safety window guard.
C.Move away the window screen. D.Lean against the window firmly.
【4】What’s the last paragraph mainly about?
A.Tips on keeping children safe. B.Products for children.
C.Growth speed of children. D.Ways to look after children.
27、 My mother was an excellent housekeeper. She had a few surgeries over the years, and before each one she’d have my father move the stove out from the wall so she could clean behind it. It would have been hard for her to relax in the hospital if she knew there were dust balls behind the stove.
The entire house was tidy and organized – there was a place for everything and everything
was in its place. Mom would hang the sheets outside to dry rather than inside the house. And if storm clouds gathered, she would run outside, race down to the sheets, throw them into a bag, and then race back to the house as the rain started, satisfied that a major catastrophe had been avoided. Throughout our entire childhoods, my sisters and I were spoiled with fresh bedding and cookies fresh from the oven.
There’s something beautiful about freshness, like the beginning of a school year, the start of a marriage, the birth of a child, moving to a new place, or starting a new job.
Freshness is like opening a new calendar that isn’t yet filled with neglected tasks. A new year always means a chance at a fresh start. But the question is, how do we choose to make this new start?
Maybe I need to do some housekeeping myself. A good sweeping usually leads to finding some interesting things – an old memory or two and new hobbies that fell by the wayside. Perhaps it’s time to clean out all those drawers filled with junk – the ones holding old tapes that replay the things I regret doing and the things that I wish I had done.
My personality could use some polish (亮光剂) as well – the ability to listen more than I talk. Glass cleaner (玻璃清洁剂) would be a good idea too – something to give me a clearer view of the things that matter and the things that don’t.
Cleaning is rarely my first choice of activity, but I’m ready to go and do what needs to be done. Here’s to a fresh start and a new year.
【1】What can we learn about the author’s mother according to the article?
A.She prefer rainy days to sunny days.
B.She couldn’t bear anything to be unorganized in her house.
C.She required her daughters to wash their own bedding.
D.She ask her husband to do the housekeeping during her surgeries.
【2】What does the author think about her childhood?
A.She has forgotten it B.It was painful for her.
C.It was full of happiness. D.She was spoiled by her mother.
【3】Why does the author decide to do some housekeeping herself?
A.She see it as a chance to improve herself and move on.
B.She wants to help reduce her mother’s burden.
C.She is quite bothered by her messy house.
D.She thinks it’s time to learn some life skills.
【4】The author wrote this article mainly to ______
A.give advice on how to clean the house.

28、The time a person spends on different smartphone apps is enough to identify them from a larger group in more than one in three cases, say researchers.
Researchers analyzed smartphone data from 780 people. They fed 4,680 days of app usage data into statistical models. Each of these days was paired with one of the 780 users so that the models learned people’s daily app use patterns.
The researchers then tested whether models could identify an individual when provided with only a single day of smartphone activity that was anonymous (匿名的). The models, which were trained on only six days of app usage data per person, could identify the correct person from a day of anonymous data one third of the time.
That might not sound like much, but when the models predict who the data belonged to, it could also provide a list of the most to the least likely candidates. It was possible to view the top 10 most likely individuals that a specific day of data belonged to. Around 75% of the time, the correct user would be among the top 10 most likely candidates.
In practical terms, a law enforcement (执法机构) investigation seeking to identify a criminal’s new phone with these models could reduce a candidate pool of approximately 1,000 phones to 10 phones, with a 25% risk of missing them.
Consequently, the researchers warn that software given access to a smartphone’s standard activity logging could make a reasonable prediction about a user’s identity even when they were logged-out of their account. An identification is possible without monitoring conversations or behaviors within apps themselves.
Therefore, it is important to acknowledge that app usage data alone, which is often collected by a smartphone automatically, can potentially reveal a person’s identity. While providing new opportunities for law enforcement, it also poses risks to privacy if this type of data is misused.
【1】What is the purpose of the passage?
A.To explain a phenomenon.
B.To confirm an assumption.
C.To show a research process.
D.To present a research finding.
【2】How did the researchers reach their conclusion?
A.By recording app use time.
B.By studying app usage data.
C.By comparing different apps.
D.By changing app use patterns.
【3】What is the function of the statistical models?
A.Locating criminals.
B.Tracking usage of apps.
C.Identifying phone users.
D.Predicting trends of apps.
【4】What is the author’s attitude towards app usage data?
A.Cautious.
B.Favorable.
C.Doubtful.
D.Uninterested.
29、 Forced by the COVID﹣19 outbreak, Pooja Chandrashekar spoke to mobile health﹣clinic (卫生所) workers across the city about their needs during the pandemic(大流行病). The first﹣year Harvard Medical School student discovered that most information about the widespread virus was only available in English and a small number of other languages, leaving those who do not speak those languages in the dark.
"This makes it very difficult for immigrants(外来移民) and non﹣English﹣speaking communities to seek care for COVID﹣19," Chandrashekar said. "We know from past epidemics like the swine flu(猪流感) that the lack of accessible information in one's native language places these populations at a higher risk of infection."
She decided to take action, creating the COVID﹣19 Health Literacy Project. Chandrashekar brought together a group of students from more than 30 universities to create fact sheets in languages not commonly represented in the American health care system. She tweeted about her effort on March 14 and included an interest form in a following tweet that collected more than 500 responses. From there, she formed a still﹣growing team of over 175 medical students. Together, the students created seven fact sheets, in 35 languages.
"Our goal is to make sure we're producing accurate, evidence﹣based information," Chandrashekar said. "When you're putting information out to the public and health care organizations are distributing it to their patients, you really want to make sure the information you're providing is correct."
Going forward, Chandrashekar plans to keep building the network of partners and expanding the languages offered to serve the greatest number of people.
【1】What does "their needs" in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.The information about the the COVID﹣19.
B.The care for people in the dark.
C.The medical students coming from other countries.
D.The accessible information about the COVID﹣19 in more languages.
【2】Where do the members of the COVID﹣19 Health Literacy Project mainly come from?
A.More than 30 universities.
B.Followers of Chandrashekar's tweet.
C.Students in medical teams.
D.Health care providers all over the world.
【3】What's Chandrashekar's plan for the future?
A.Providing correct and evidence﹣based information.
B.Offering accessible information in different languages to the people in need.
C.Working with health care providers around the world.
