21、“If you’re Italian and Swedish, and Daddy’s Italian and Polish,” my 7-year-old daughter asked, “does that mean I’m part Swedish, Polish and Italian?”

“Well, not exactly...” I tried to think on my feet. Clearly it was time to explain some complicated things.

My daughter arrived by using a donated egg (卵子). I carried her to term, but she carries all her genes from my husband and the donor. Any similarities we share are a result of nurture rather than nature. I often experienced a sense of shame, as if I had cheated nature. I also feared that my daughter would feel disconnected or pull away from me once she knew everything.

However, we didn’t want the information to come from anyone but us. I had referred to many related researches and results showing such families have better outcomes when parents tell kids about their special arrival early on, ideally by the time they’re 7 years old. On the day when she asked the question, I bought a book You Began as a Wish by Kim Bergman, which talks about all the different ways kids come.

After reading together, we talked a little longer about the different kinds of families we knew. I could see recognition in her warm brown eyes. “Could I be French? I love the Eiffel Tower and croissant (羊角面包)”, she asked expectantly. I thought back to the information of the donor application.” “Actually, I think you are a little bit French.”

“Yes!” She pumped her fist in the air.

I know this is only the very beginning of these conversations, and things may be more complicated for my family from now on. But we get to work through whatever complications’ arise together, without secrecy or shame.

【1】What does the underlined phrase “think on my feet” possibly mean?

A．Lie easily.

C．Treat it casually.

D．Run away quickly.

【2】What does the writer describe in the third paragraph?

A．Her misfortune.

B．Her plan.

C．Her upset.

D．Her regret.

【3】How did the writer possibly get prepared to solve the problem?

A．Discussing openly.

B．Reading widely.

C．Waiting patiently.

D．Thinking wisely.

【4】What kind of family does the writer have?

A．Open and trustful.

B．Happy and hardworking.

C．Rich and caring.

D．Brave and humorous.

22、The idea of billions of people going through a few masks a week during this pandemic definitely rings alarm bells, but a team of researchers in Melbourne may have the solution.

They’ve discovered that adding millions of discarded face masks to road-paving (铺路) mixtures would actually lower the cost of the road, while preventing billions of them from landfills. Just one kilometer of road would need three million masks, and the polypropylene(聚丙烯) plastic used to make single-use surgical face masks also increased the flexibility and durability of the road.

The new material is a mixture of about 2% torn masks and recycled concrete aggregate(RCA)—a material obtained from waste concrete and other minerals from destroyed buildings. This recycled material was found in the study to be ideal for two of the four layers generally required to create roadways. Paving a kilometer of two-way road with the RCA and three million face masks would result in a change of 93 tons of waste from landfills.

The final product then is more resistant to wear than asphalt(沥青), as well as being cheaper too, provided there was a method for collecting masks. The research team did a cost-analysis and found that, at $26 per ton, the RCA was about half the cost of mining raw materials, and as much as a third of the cost of shipping the used masks to a landfill.

The widespread application would be ideal for large infrastructure(基础设施) projects. For example, Washington has the 11th worst roads in terms of unaddressed repairs in the U.S. If the damaged roads in Washington state were repaired with the RCA/mask mixture, it would reuse nearly 10 billion masks, sparing American landfills hundreds of millions of tons of trash.

It’s said that the team is looking for private industry partners or governments willing to give their plastic mask road an opportunity for a large-scale test.

【1】What does the underlined word “discarded” mean in paragraph 2?

A．Recycled

B．Produced

C．Abandoned

D．Mixed

【2】What is the new material used to pave ways made of?

A．2% torn masks, concrete and tons of trash.

【3】Why are numbers mentioned in paragraph 4?

A．To prove this material is cost-effective in paving roads.

B．To tell us what the team has found

C．To explain repairing roads costs a lot of materials

D．To praise the hard work the team has done.

【4】What can we learn from the text?

A．The material used to pave roads is made of masks.

B．Generally speaking, it requires two layers to create roadways.

C．The damaged roads in Washington were repaired with the RCA.

D．It remains to be tested whether the solution is practical.

23、The 15-year-old actor Reese Hartwig stars in this summer’s newest movie, Earth to Echo. Recently Jack and Jill interviewed this kid actor.

JJ: How did you get started in acting?

Reese: My family and I moved from Arizona to California because my dad worked for a company that provides cars for movies like Transformers. He was already in the business. When we came to California, I decided to give acting a shot.  

JJ: How was your first audition (试演)?

Reese: My brother Ryan and I auditioned in the same building and on his birthday. Our agent said, “Why don’t you each try out for both parts? ” I ended up booking the part he went in for, and he booked mine. That’s how it started.

JJ: Is acting your dream job?

Reese: I’ve always wanted to be a plastic surgeon (整形外科医生), but I will need money from acting to get through college and medical school. Acting has been really fun, but you need a backup plan just in case.

JJ: Tell us about your new movie:   Earth to Echo.

Reese: The movie’s about three friends who live in a neighborhood that’s being torn down to build a freeway. Soon, the friends begin receiving strange messages on their cell phones. It turns out they find an alien, Echo, and try to help the alien and save the neighborhood.

JJ: How was this — your first big acting role — different from other projects you’ve done?

Reese: Very different. The movie was filmed as if we, the characters, were holding the cameras and filming the scenes. It was an interesting shooting scene with the alien, Echo, because you acted with an inanimate (无生命的) object, and then the technical staff developed the character on the computer.

24、Could the secret to a good night’s sleep be a pencil and paper? Researchers at Baylor University published a study in the Journal of Experimental Psychology that claims writing a to-do list helps people get to sleep faster.

“There are two schools of thought about this,” The lead researcher, Scullin said. “One is that writing about the future would lead to increased worry about unfinished tasks and delay sleep, while writing about completed activities would not trigger worry. The alternative hypothesis(假设) is that writing a to-do list will offload those thoughts and reduce worry. ”

To test the hypotheses, researchers invited 57 men and women between ages 18 and 30 to spend one weeknight in a controlled sleep lab and they were divided into two groups, the experimental group and the control group. Five minutes before bedtime, each participant was instructed to complete a short writing exercise. The first group wrote about anything they needed to remember to do in the upcoming days, while the other wrote about tasks they had completed during the previous days. When the exercise was done, participants went to bed.

Researchers measured each participant’s brain activity overnight using a technique called polysomnography(睡眠多项生理检查), which records eye movement, muscle activity and other biological changes.

The researchers found that the participants who wrote to-do lists fell asleep an average of 9 minutes faster than those who wrote about already-accomplished tasks. While 9 minutes may not seem like a lot of extra shut-eye, it’s comparable to the improvement seen in clinical trials for some sleep medications, Scullin told Time magazine.

Scullin noted that while the sample size was appropriate for an experimental, laboratory-based polysomnography study, a larger future study would be of value. “Measures of personality, anxiety, and depression might moderate the effects of writing on falling asleep, and that could be explored in an investigation with a larger sample, ” he said. “We recruited healthy young adults, and so we don’t know whether our findings would generalize to patients with sleeplessness, though some writing activities have previously been suggested to benefit such patients. ”

【1】What does the word “trigger” in Paragraph Two mean?

A．Reduce.

B．Rid.

C．Control.

D．Cause.

【2】What’s the difference between the experimental group and the control group?

A．The content of their writing exercises.

B．The age and gender of the participants.

C．The sleeping hours of the participants.

D．The measuring method of brain activity.

【3】What can we know about the effect brought by writing a to-do list before bed?

A．It shows no improvement.

B．It makes falling asleep harder.

C．It is similar to taking sleep medications.

D．It helps to lengthen the sleeping hours.

【4】What is the writing purpose of the last paragraph?

A．To analyze the cause of the experiment.

B．To state the limitation of the experiment.

C．To show the significance of the experiment.

D．To criticize the drawback of the experiment.
