21、   When Erin Shields sang “Being Alive,” a popular song from the Broadway show “Company,” the song had extra levels of meaning.

Shields and her husband David Shenton are touring musicians. They could not perform around the world during the coronavirus pandemic. So they broadcast virtual concerts from home to raise money for the Mosaic West Queens Church in New York City. The concerts brought thousands of dollars to the church to help feed hungry people living in the neighborhood. They also gave the two musicians a chance to continue their artistic lives.

It began when they saw the long lines of people waiting for food outside the church near their home. Several of their friends had lost jobs after Broadway theaters closed. And they felt the need to help.

In September, they volunteered at the church to give away boxes of food to families two times a week. As time  passed, they felt the need to do more for others during the pandemic. “I’m not a doctor ... I don’t really have much to offer. But you know, we can perform,” said Shields.

She is an opera singer from the American state of Illinois. Her husband Shenton is a British composer, pianist and violinist. And their artistic friends were willing to join for a good cause.

“We have all these connections to Broadway singers outside of their work on Broadway, so we wanted to capitalize on that,” Shenton said.

During a recent virtual concert, smiling families, watching on their computers at home, clapped and sang along. Among the performers were Broadway musicians known for their work in shows such as “Hamilton” and “The Little Mermaid” as well as “Les Miserables.”

Shields said volunteering became especially important last year when New York turned into the center of the pandemic. “If you’re feeling low, volunteer, give back to other people, because it will make you feel better,” Shields said.

【1】What can we learn about Erin Shields?

A．She found a new job during the pandemic.

B．The song “Being Alive” made her more popular.

D．Virtual concerts enabled her to continue her performance.

【2】What does the underlined phrase “capitalize on” in paragraph 6 probably mean?

A．Take advantage of.

D．Make a list of.

【3】Which of the following is the best title for the text?

D．Food Supply Becomes too Low in New York

22、Offline research has given rise to what’s called the “Social Brain Hypothesis”. This says that our brain’s ability to process multiple relationships creates a natural group size for humans of 100-200 people. This size is also constrained (限制) by the time required to maintain relationships — we only have so much time to devote to meeting or talking to people.

It has been suggested that social media might overcome the time constraints because posts and pictures allow us to talk to many more people at the same time even if the interaction is not direct. So psychologist Professor Robin Dunbar carried out two surveys of more than 3,300 people to see whether using the Internet really means we can have more friends.

What he found was that even among regular social media users, the average number of friends they had on Facebook was 155 in the first survey and 183 in the second, right in the bracket (范围) predicted by the “Social Brain Hypothesis”.

The first survey group, made up of regular social media users, considered only 28% of their Facebook friends to be “genuine” friends. When asked specifically how many people they would turn to for support in a crisis and how many they would turn to for sympathy, on average those groups were just 4 and 14 friends respectively, matching the offline findings of the “Social Brain Hypothesis”.

While a few people did have much larger groups of online “ friends ” on Facebook, they had similar sized support and sympathy groups to others. This suggests that when social media seem to allow someone to have more friends, it is because looser acquaintances are being included in the “friend” category, and partly because social media sites tend not to differentiate between close and more distant relationships — even though we clearly distinguish between friends and acquaintances in the offline world.

Professor Robin Dunbar explained, “social media certainly help to slow down the natural rate of decline in relationship quality that would set in once we cannot readily meet friends face to face. But no amount of social media will prevent a friend from eventually becoming just another acquaintance if you don’t meet face to face from time to time. There is something vital for face-to-face interaction that is crucial for maintaining friendships. Seeing the white of their eyes from time to time seems to be crucial to the way we maintain friendships.”

【1】Why did Professor Robin Dunbar carried out two surveys?

A．To discover if social media use can expand one’s social circle.

B．To prove social media offer a way to overcome the time constraints.

C．To explore how offline interactions allow one to have more friends.

D．To show if social media provides more communication opportunities.

【2】What do we know about the surveys’ findings?

A．They can not serve as evidence.

B．They are well above expectations.

C．They have led to more offline research.

D．They confirm the “Social Brain Hypothesis”.

【3】Why did a few people have a much larger group of online “friends” ?

A．Because they got great support and sympathy from their online social circle.

B．Because they were better at turning acquaintances into friends.

C．Because they could distinguish their friends and acquaintances clearly online.

D．Because they viewed people in their acquaintance circle as friends.

【4】What did Professor Robin Dunbar reveal in the last paragraph?

A．Social media can not replace face-to-face contact.

B．Social media affect our face-to-face socialization skills.

C．Social media fail to improve the quality of our relationships.

D．Social media have negative effects on face-to-face interaction.

24、   You might easily gain access to fresh fruit and vegetables, but this isn’t the case in some parts of America. The U. S. has many areas that are considered as food deserts, which are defined as parts of the country short of fresh fruit, vegetables and other healthy food, usually found in poor areas.

Food deserts are urban areas where the nearest grocery store is more than 1 mile away, and rural areas where the nearest grocery store is more than 10 miles away. According to the USDA, 19 million Americans or 6.2% of the population-live in places that can be considered as food deserts.

The issue isn’t necessarily about the difference in cost between healthy and unhealthy foods in these areas but it’s about a lack of access to healthy choices at all. And, with the lack of healthy food choices, these areas typically have a large supply of unhealthy foods sold at fast-food companies and convenience stores.

Eating unhealthy foods can lead to overweight, which puts people at risk for all kinds of major health issues, including high blood pressure, heart disease, and some cancers.

But some people, especially those who cannot afford a car, are stuck with eating what’s readily available. In the case of food deserts, it’s usually the type of food that can lead to over-weight. Studies have shown that this is likely to be a problem in low-income areas. When money is not enough, people tend to buy foods that last longer and remove food waste, which is a waste of their limited income.

Lack of access is only one part of the problem, however. A study published in 2018 found that food inequality wasn’t removed. The bigger issue was likely the lack of education and nutritional knowledge in these communities, which prevents people with lower incomes from understanding the benefits of healthy eating.

While overweight is a significant issue in these communities, the cost of unhealthy eating isn’t just physical. A study found that 71 billion dollars in healthcare costs due to chronic diseases could be saved through healthier eating.

【1】What can we infer from the first two paragraphs?

A.6.2% of the Americans live in poor areas.

B.Some parts of the USA lack fresh vegetables.

C.Some people in America don’t need fresh fruit.

D.People in the food deserts buy fresh vegetables easily.

【2】Why can fast-food companies sell large amounts of unhealthy food in the food deserts?

A.These areas are rich in unhealthy food materials.

B.Fast-food companies want to make a larger profit.

C.Healthy food choices are unavailable in these areas.

D.People in these areas prefer unhealthy food to healthy food.

【3】What do studies say about people in low-income areas?

A.They are less likely to have overweight problems.

B.They are delighted to prepare food for themselves.

C.They have to buy food that can be preserved longer.

D.They are used to eating food donated by food companies.

【4】What stops people from understanding healthy eating benefits in the food deserts?

A.Lack of government financial support.

B.Lack of knowledge of disease prevention.

C.Lack of social promotion of healthy eating.

D.Lack of education and knowledge in nutrition.
