21、The vaccine (疫苗) news continues to seem very encouraging. Britain started its mass vaccination effort and the U. S. isn't far behind. But there is still one dark cloud hanging over the vaccines that many people don't yet understand. The vaccines will be much less effective at preventing death and illness if they are introduced into a population where the coronavirus is still severe 一 as is now the case in the U. S.

A vaccine is like a fire hose (消防龙头). A vaccine that is 95 percent effective, as Moderna's and Pfizer's versions appear to be, is a powerful fire hose. But the size of a fire is still a bigger determinant of how much destruction occurs.

At the current level of infection in the U. S. (about 160, 000 confirmed new infections per day), a vaccine that is 95 percent effective 一 distributed at the expected pace 一 would still leave a terrible toll (伤亡人数) after it was introduced. Almost 36 million or so Americans have caught the virus, and more than 60, 0000 have died. This is far worse than the toll in a different situation where the vaccine was only 50 percent effective. However, it's worth pausing for a moment on this comparison. If the U. S. maintained its current infection rate and Moderna and Pfizer announced that their vaccines were only 50 percent effective. a lot of people would panic.

But the reality we have is actually worse. How could this be? No vaccine can get rid of a pandemic immediately, just as no fire hose can put out a forest fire. While the vaccine is being distributed, the virus continues to do damage.

There is one positive way to look at this: Measures that reduce the virus's spread 一 like mask - wearing, social distancing and rapid - result testing 一 can still have great consequences. They will save many lives in coming months.

【1】How does the author mainly present his argument?

A．By giving definitions

B．By classifying facts

C．By drawing comparisons

D．By appealing to emotions

【2】According to the passage, what is the public's attitude to the effects of the vaccine?

A．Critical

B．Optimistic

C．Worried

D．Neutral

【3】Which does the author think is a better way to save lives?

A．Improving the effectiveness of the vaccines

B．Producing a greater variety of vaccines

C．Looking at the situation in a positive way

D．Wearing masks and practicing social distancing

【4】We can infer from paragraph 3 that ________ .

A．fewer people will die if the infection rate is lower

B．the US have controlled the spread of the coronavirus

C．the death toll in the next months will be reduced a lot

D．the vaccines are less effective than expected

22、Christmas can easily become an expensive time of a year. From gifts to decorating, the money spent on the celebration adds up quickly. But there's no reason to completely break the bank. 【1】

Make a budget (预算). Set the amount you're willing to spend for the holiday, including gift giving, decorating and travel. 【2】 And if you can keep to your budget, you'll lead an easy life in the following weeks and months.

Start shopping for Christmas decorations early. Stores have sales for decorations between Halloween and Thanksgiving. 【3】 Better yet, go shopping for next year's decorations the day after Christmas. You can buy many things at very low prices right after Christmas.

Shop for gifts all year round. Whenever you're out shopping, keep an eye out for great Christmas presents. 【4】 Shopping early can prevent you from spending more money than you can afford. And if you spend little here and there throughout the year, Christmas will have a much smaller influence on your wallet in December.

Scale down (缩减) your gift giving. Sometimes you just can't afford to get something for everyone. Remove the people from your list whom you rarely speak with. 【5】 The people you do choose to buy for don't need something expensive. Keep in mind that it's the thought that is more important.

A．Send them simple cards instead.

B．This budget is perfect for many people.

C．Once you have a budget set, keep to it.

D．And it's after Thanksgiving that the prices begin to go up.

E．Christmas is known as the season of giving, sharing and receiving.

F．There are ways to celebrate well and spend wisely at the same time.

G．It doesn't matter when you get the gift, whether it's January or June.

23、Here are some Chinatowns for those outside of China wishing to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

London

Although it may not be as large or as long-built as others, having only become a center for the Chinese community during the 1950s, London’s Chinatown is a perfectly formed firework that knows how to present itself with a bang. Decorated with red lanterns, previous years have seen shows with acrobatics(杂技), martial arts, dances and operas nearby.

San Francisco

San Francisco’s Chinatown is perhaps the most famous in the USA. The city was the main entry-point for the Chinese who had crossed the Pacific to the USA during the early 19th century. Between Grant Avenue and Stockton Street, this historic area is a local treasure, attracting more visitors per year than the Golden Gate Bridge.

Bangkok

With an about 100-year-old history, the Thai capital’s Chinatown contains complex streets offering all kinds of tasty food, clothes and toys. Sunday Market days are such a good time to get the full atmosphere of the neighborhood. The area is also famous for its gold dealers, and there are lots of gold shops along the road.

Port Louis

Found in Port Louis, this Mauritian Chinatown shows the island nation’s rich multicultural diversity. Built in the early years of the 20th century by settlers from China, its tiny shops and restaurants serve locals and visitors. During the Spring Festival, the most exciting sight is the dragon dances on Rue Royale when Chinese musicians and dancers perform the traditional dragon dances through the streets.

【1】Which of the following has the longest history?

24、Every object tells a story. Even the most ordinary objects can present to us powerful images. Sometimes it is the ordinary nature of these objects that actually makes them so extraordinary. Such is the case with an old leather shoe in a museum in Alaska. At first glance it does not look like much. It is a woman’s shoe of a style popular in the 1890s. But what is unique (独特的) about this shoe is where it was found. It was discovered on the Checkout Pass, the famous trail used by the people seeking gold in Alaska. Who it belonged to or why it was left there is not known. Was it perhaps dropped by accident as the woman climbed up the 1500 stairs carved outface? Or did she throw away goods that she didn’t need in order to travel lighter?

Over 100, 000 people with “gold fever” made this trip hoping to become millionaires. Few of them understood that on their way they would have to cross a harsh wildness. Unprepared for such a dangerous journey, many died of starvation and exposure to the cold weather.

The Canadian government finally started requiring the gold seekers to bring one ton of supplies with them. This was thought to be enough for a person to survive for one year. They would carry their supplies in backpacks (背包) each weighing up to fifty pounds; it usually took at least 40 trips to get everything to the top and over the pass. Whoever dropped the shoe must have been a brave and determined woman. Perhaps she was successful and made it to Alaska. Perhaps she had to turn back in defeat. No one will ever know for sure, but what we do know is that she took part in one of the greatest adventures in the 19th century.

【1】Which of the following is right?

A. it was an important clue to life in the past   B. it was found on a famous trail

C. it at one time belonged to a VIP   D. it was a fashionable shoe at that time

【2】According to this passage, many people who went to Alaska ________.

A. eventually became millionaires   B. brought with them many shoes

C. had conflicts with the Eskimos   D. were not properly equipped

【3】The Canadian government made gold seekers bring one year’s supplies with them so that ________.

A. they would not die of hunger and cold

B. the army would have enough food for fighting a war

C. they would change these goods with the Eskimos

D. the supplies would make Alaska rich

【4】No matter what happened to the woman who owned the shoe, ________.

A. she must have lived a happy life

B. she certainly dropped the shoe on purpose

C. her adventurous spirit is definitely admired

D. her other shoes were equally fashionable

25、People are often encouraged to make friends with their enemy (敌人), but the high school student Xavier Staubs did more than that. He ________ the other's life. At a swimming game, the 15 ­year ­old boy rescued a ________ under water.

It was a regular swimming game. Xavier was ________ because he had practiced for a long time. As expected, he ________ his part with ease in the 200­meter relay (接力比赛). When he was resting, he heard some people ________ anxiously. Xavier turned back and noticed that a boy in the neighboring lane (泳道) was ________ . Seeing this, having no ________ to consider more, Xavier dived back into the pool immediately and ________ the boy out to the safety zone. ________ , the boy had nothing serious and started breathing on his own.

Xavier's ________ got the attention of Representative John Moolenaar. He wanted to reward Xavier with recognition (表彰) that would be kept on record in the Library of Congress. At lunchtime on Tuesday, Xavier ________ Moolenaar was coming to meet him. “We've heard the story. I think we really should ________ what he did,” Moolenaar told CNN. “We often hear about tragedies and ________ situations,” Moolenaar said, “but this was such a powerful ________ of one student helping another ________ the two boys were competitors.”

However, Xavier's mother, Jillian Staubs, said she was not ________. Jillian said she had been trying to ________ her children like what her parents did. Her parents always told her and her sisters not to become people who just ________ themselves. And Xavier performed such a ________ act, which actually was something she was used to hearing about.
