21、   Something strange was happening inside LeeAnne’s home. During the summer of 2014，14-year-old J.D. had stomach severe pains, but his CT scan found nothing wrong. LeeAnne and her husband lost hair and suffered dizziness and headaches. LeeAnne even lost her eyelashes.

In January 2015, the city of Flint sent out a notice that the water supply, switched from the Detroit water system to the Flint River to cut cost, contained high levels of trihalomethanes (三卤甲烷). The notice warned that people with poor immune (免疫的) systems might be at increased risk for liver, kidney, and nervous system problems but emphasized that the water was otherwise safe to drink.

Alarmed, LeeAnne researched the water supply and searched the Internet. Then she distributed a fact sheet to city officials, listing the side effects of exposure to trihalomethanes. Then she urged her neighbors to attend city council meetings, where they shared their health problems. Still, officials insisted the water was safe to drink. So LeeAnne demanded that the city test her water.

The results were disturbing. The trihalomethanes were the least of her problems. The lead levels in her water were nearly seven times the legal amount. But the city maintained her plumbing (管道) was the cause.

LeeAnne immediately had her children tested for lead. All the kids showed lead exposure. She read Flint’s water quality reports and discovered the city wasn’t applying the proper corrosion (腐蚀) control standards to its pipes; the standards prevent the metal in pipes from leaching into the water.

In March, a follow-up test of LeeAnne’s water showed lead levels nearly 27 times higher than the EPA’s threshold. LeeAnne’s pipes could not be responsible for the high lead levels, since they were plastic.

In September, Virginia Tech lab released a report that concluded the Flint River water was 19 times more corrosive than the Detroit water.

The governor eventually admitted the water was unsafe. He ordered that Flint’s water supply be switched back to Detroit’s. In Washington, President Barack Obama declared a state of emergency in Flint and ordered federal aid to help the city recover.

【1】How did LeeAnne react to the city notice?

A.She had her children tested for lead.

B.She asked the city to replace her pipes.

C.She urged the officials to test Flint’s water.

D.She collected side effects of trihalomethanes.

【2】What is the leading cause of the family’s health problem?

A.The lead in their water.

B.Corrosion to their pipes.

C.Their poor immune systems.

D.Exposure to Trihalomethanes.

【3】City officials’ attitude toward the water issue was _____.

A.unconcerned B.cautious

C.doubtful D.objective

【4】What does the story mainly tell us?

A.Revealing the truth takes time.

B.Nothing can stop a determined heart.

C.It takes courage to challenge authority.

D.Joint effort is the key to solving problems.

23、There have been few positives during the pandemic but British academics may have unearthed one people look more attractive in protective masks.

Dr Michael Lewis, an expert in faces, said research carried out before the pandemic had found that medical face masks reduced attractiveness because they were associated with disease. “We wanted to test whether this had changed since face coverings became common and understand whether the type of mask had any effect.” he said. “Our study suggests faces are considered most attractive when covered by medical face masks. This may be because we’re used to health care workers wearing blue masks and now we associate these with people in caring or medical professions.”

The research was carried out in February 202I by which time the British population had become used to wearing masks in some circumstances. Forty-three women were asked to rate on a scale of one to 10 the attractiveness of images of male faces without a mask, wearing a plain cloth mask, a blue medical face mask, and holding a plain black book covering the area a face mask would hide. The participants said those wearing a cloth mask were significantly more attractive than the ones with no masks or whose faces were partly covered by the book. But the surgical mask—which was just a normal, disposable kind—made the wearer look even better.

“The pandemic has changed our psychology in how we perceive the wearers of masks.” said Lewis. “When we see someone wearing a mask we no longer think that person has a disease, I need to stay away’ Lewis said it was possible that masks made people more attractive because they directed attention to the eyes. Other studies had found that covering the left or right half of a face also made people look more attractive, partly because the brain fills in the missing gaps and exaggerates the overall impact.

【1】How did people wearing medical face masks use to strike others?

A．strange

B．relaxing

C．undesirable

D．attractive

【2】According to the research, which of the following is the most appealing?

A．Tom, holding a blue medical face mask

B．Mark, wearing a plain cloth mask.

A．People have changed their attitude to medical workers.

B．People prefer to wear masks when they are outdoors.

C．People hold a more positive view on those wearing masks

D．People keep a positive attitude to persons with illness

【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?

A．Masks help during the pandemic.

B．Men need to wear masks.

C．Find ways to become attractive.

D．Face masks make you charming.

24、If you are one of those who think exercise is a waste of time and of no benefit at all to the body, you might have to have a rethink.

Regular physical activity can help protect from some health problems. For instance, exercise controls weight. For the obese （肥胖的），exercise is very important as it helps reduce body fat by building or preserving muscle mass and improving the body's ability to use calories. When you engage in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity is, the more calories you burn. When exercise is combined with proper nutrition, it can help control weight and prevent obesity, a major risk factor for many diseases. Besides workouts at the gym, your body can benefit from other forms of exercise such as jogging, fast walking, running, playing games.

Regular physical activity can improve your mood and the way you feel about yourself. Need an emotional lift or need to blow off some steam after a stressful day? A workout at the gym or a quick 30-minute walk can help. Exercise stimulates various brain chemicals that may leave you feeling happier and more relaxed. You may also feel better about your appearance and yourself when you exercise regularly, which can boost your confidence and improve your self-esteem. Exercise gives you a chance to enjoy the outdoors or simply engage in activities that make you happy.

Regular physical activity is a great way to feel better, gain health benefits and have fun. As a general goal, aim for at least 30 minutes of physical activity every day. If you want to lose weight or meet specific fitness goals, you may need to exercise more. Remember to check with your doctor before starting a new exercise program, especially if you haven't exercised for a long time, have chronic health problems, or you have any concerns.

【1】How does exercise help the overweight people?
