21、   Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia (百科全书), is the largest encyclopedia ever. An encyclopedia is a collection of informative articles about various things. Encyclopedias  used to be printed as books. 【1】

“Wiki”is an internet term that means”a website that can be edited by the public. “It comes from”wikiwiki”，a Hawaiian word for”quick”. Two Americans, Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger, created Wikipedia in 2001.【2】It has about 6 million articles in 300 languages and is visited by billions of people each day,who want to find information on just about anything-science, math, languages, art, cultureand company histories. There are articles on sports stars, too, and even long-forgotten soap operas from the 1970s.

【3】Except for a small number of pages, anyone can edit articles, anonymously (匿名地) or with a user account, and registered users can create their own articles. Editing is unpaid, although Wikipedia does employ a small staff. Wikipedia is freely available to anyone with an internet connection. Its founders hoped that the model would make use of humanity’s collective knowledge.

【4】Many Wikipedia pages contain errors, although the organization has a content review system that works to fix this problem. Several studies have concluded that Wikipedia is as accurate as most print encyclopedias. Indeed, a 2005 report in the journal Nature found it to be only slightly less reliable than Encyclopedia Britannica.

Today Wikipedia faces many challenges. It does not rely on advertising. 【5】Perhaps more importantly, the number of its volunteer editors is shrinking.

Despite these difficulties, Jimmy Wales says he will still stick to his dream. He has big plans for the future. He wants Wikipedia available in all of the world’s languages.

A.Instead, all of its funds come from donations.

B.Wikipedia employs an open editing model.

C.It allows users to get information within seconds.

D.It is now the fifth-most visited website on the Internet.

E.Most of its editors are volunteers.

F.Now,they are mostly found online.

G.However,some people doubt the accuracy of Wikipedia's content.

22、To personal trainer Sammy Callari, 13-year-old Parker Seward is more than a client（客户）. He’s his “little brother”. Over the past year, the pair have bonded. They play basketball together, share meals and dance to hip-hop like no one’s watching.

The trainer was asked to work with the 13-year-old boy, who has Down syndrome（唐氏症）, because his coworker who dealt with the boy was out of town last spring. Callari had never worked with someone with a disability before. He was anxious the first day he met Parker. But Parker’s big smile and cheery introduction immediately put him at ease. He reminded Callari of himself when he was a teenager. Like Parker, Callari has also faced his fair share of challenges over the years.

As a high schooler, Callari described himself as being the weak kid. When it came to sports, he was always overlooked. His dream of playing baseball in college quickly faded away. When he went to college, Callari turned to a new sport. His younger brother trained him to become a boxer. Callari participated in five matches. Out of four of those fights he was the underdog, and he won three times. “I know how it feels,” Callari said. “Society tells you that you can’t do this, you can’t do that.” When it comes to Parker, Callari refuses to accept the word “can’t.”

The friends meet twice a week to train. They bike, box, run and work on their core with push-ups. Parker has a short attention span, so it’s Callari’s job to keep him focused. “If Parker can do it, it he’s having fun, even with his frustration, then people will ask, ‘Why can’t I do that?’” Callari said. “That’s the whole task right now.”

Callari recalls Parker’s mom once thanking him for taking a “chance” on her son. Callari told her he never viewed it that way. Parker may be the student, but Callari says he’s also the one who’s learning.

【1】Why was Callari asked to train Parker?

B. He was out of condition.

C. He was looked down upon by everyone.

D. He was influenced deeply by his brother.

【3】What does the underlined part “that way” in Paragraph5 mean?

A. Parker’s story is an inspiration to many.

B. Parker’s progress is due to Callari’s effort.

C. Callari is also learning from Parker in the course.

D. Parker is not only a client but also a friend to Callari.

【4】What does the text mainly talk about?

A. An inspiring story of a disabled boy.

B. A high schooler suffering lots of failure.

C. The friendship between a disabled boy and his personal trainer.

D. Ways of developing friendship with the boy with Down syndrome.

23、Online crowdfunding(众筹) for medical expenses raises less money than social media has made us believe and deepens health care inequalities, a new study reports.

The first large-scale assessment of medical crowdfunding in the United States shows That people instates with higher medical debt and lower rates of insurance(保险)coverage are more likely to try to raise money through crowdfunding websites, but less likely to succeed. From 2016 through 2020, more medical campaigns on the crowdfunding site GoFundMe were started in low-income and under-insured communities, researchers report February 3 in the American Journal of Public Health. But campaigns in wealthier communities with higher rates of insurance coverage raised significantly more money.

The study matched state and county census (人口普查) data with outcomes from more than 437,000 GoFundMe campaigns over the five-year period. During that time, more than $2 billion was raised, with the average campaign earning just under $2,000. The study also found that 16 percent of campaigns raised nothing, while less than 2 percent met their goal.

“The returns were notably low compared with the needs people have for medical expenses,” says sociologist Mark Igra of the University of Washington in Seattle.

Mississippi, for example, has the highest percentage of population with medical debt and is among the highest in percentage of uninsured, but crowdfunding campaigns there raised the least money of all 50 states. Vermont, on the other band, raised the most. Its population had one of the lowest percentages of uninsured people.

While GoFimdMe’s previous chief executive Robert Solomon has called concerns that crowdfunding increases socioeconomic inequalities “nonsense,” the new study disproves that, says Jeremy Snyder, a health researcher at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, Canada, who was not involved with this research.

“Crowdfunding relies heavily on social networks that typically have similar characteristics, including income, to the campaigner, themselves," says Snyder, who wrote an analysis to accompany the study. ”If GoFundMe has data that suggests otherwise, then they have a duty to make it public.

【1】What did researchers do during the study?

A．They raised money

B．They analysed data

C．They interviewed patients

D．They carried cut a census

【2】What can we infer about Mississippi?

A．It is relatively poor.

B．People there care little about health

C．It is no use crowdifunding there.

D．It has the highest number of uninsured people

【3】According to Snyder, what is a reason why crowdfunding increases inequality?

A．Poor people are less likely to have health insurance.

B．Poor people tend to be-less skilled in campaigning.

C．The social-networks of poor people tend to have low income

D．Rich people are unlikely to use crowdfundiug.

【4】What is the most suitable title for the passage?

A．Crowdfunding - the future of medical care

B．Crowdfunding - the reasons for its decline

C．Crowdfunding -a dangerous trend

D．Crowdfunding –less effective than thought

24、Three divers enter a hole leading to a water-filled cave on Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. They swim for an hour. Finally, they reach a large room 60 feet underground and about the size of two basketball courts. Here, they discover an upside-down human skull (the bones of a person’s head). Other bones lay nearby.

The team came across the skull in 2007. The divers then told the Mexican government about the finding. Soon the government formed a team of scientists to look into it. The group, which included archaeologist (考古学家) Dominique Rissolo, believed that the skull belonged to someone who lived in the last ice age. At the ice age’s height some twenty thousand years ago, sea levels dropped and new land appeared. Over time, rain and wind ate holes into some of the land.

“The person may have died after entering the cave,” Rissolo says. Then, when the ice age ended some ten thousand years ago, sea levels rose. Water flooded the cave, covering the remains.

Worrying that moving the skull might destroy it, scientists decided to examine it at its watery resting place. They collected information about the skull and other pieces of bones. They found that the bones belonged to a 15- to 17-year-old girl who lived at least twelve thousand years ago. The team named her Naia after some sea creatures in Greek myths.

Naia is the oldest nearly complete human skeleton (骨架) ever found in the Americas. DNA tests showed that she’s a direct ancestor of present-day Native Americans. Naia’s DNA also matches with people native to Siberia, a part of Russia. Scientists have long thought that ancient people from this area arrived in Alaska during the last ice age. They were the first humans to live in the Americas. And Naia proves how far south they went. (Mexico is a country to the south of the US.)

In 2014 the scientists decided to bring up Naia’s skull from the cave to protect it from curious divers. So it was taken to a lab, where it remains today.

【1】What do we learn about the skull?

A. It was left alone in the cave.

B. It lay under a basketball court.

C. It drew the government’s attention.

D. It was discovered by three scientists.

【2】When did Naia probably live?

A. After the last ice age ended.

B. Before the last ice age ended.

C. Before the last ice age started.

D. At the beginning of the last ice age.

【3】Why was the skull studied in the cave for several years?

A. Scientists tried to protect it.

B. The temperature was fine in there.

C. It was against the law to take it out.

D. It would help scientists study the cave,

【4】Who were Naia’s distant ancestors?

A. Early humans in Greece.

B. Early humans in Siberia.

C. Early humans in Alaska.

D. Early humans in Mexico.
