21、Camelli’s duty was simple: to give back to the community where she was raised. Warren, Ohio lies just thirteen miles north of Youngstown, the former center of steel production, and now one of the neediest cities in the country. Both cities’ populations and its finance have been on the decline each year, with unemployment rates surpassing both the state and national average.

But it wasn’t always this way. Thirty years ago, when Camelli was a student at Howland High School, the school where she now teaches Advanced Placement Psychology, “The poorness level was around 6%,” she says. Today, it is closer to 40%.

This financial condition influences everything from the way students learn, to their ability to deal with social and emotional issues. Knowing this, Camelli created Paw Pantry. Whether it’s for food, clothes, school supplies or personal hygiene (卫生) products ,students and their parents can go on the district’s website and fill out a request form for Paw Pantry products. They can choose to pick their items up—or have them delivered—at school.

Camelli mentioned Paw Pantry when she attended her high school activity in 2017. It made her former classmates aware of how their hometown has changed over the years. “Soon, money started pouring in from all over the country, all over the world,” she says.

In just a year and a half since the Paw Pantry began, Camelli has received plenty of non-perishable (不易变质的) food, clothing, lunch boxes, backpacks, school supplies—even home goods, including a refrigerator, a washer and dryer, and a stove.

Camelli actively shows her students the power of connection. “I’m definitely kinder because of Ms. Camelli. Ms. Camelli is a mother, but she’s also a mother figure for all of us”. Blake says “Ms. Camelli, you will never understand how happy this act of your caring had made me,” she added.

Camelli is a community activist, a mental heath supporter, and by many people’s standards, she’s most certainly a hero, but she doesn’t see herself that way. And that’s what she as a teacher should do.

【1】What does the underlined word “neediest” in the first paragraph mean?

A．Liveliest.

B．Riskiest.

C．Remotest.

D．Poorest.

【2】What can we infer from the passage?

A．Paw Pantry didn’t go well.

B．Paw Pantry gained much support.

C．Camelli was hopeful about Paw Pantry’s future.

D．Many people treated Paw Pantry with doubt.

【3】How does Blake feel about Ms. Camelli?

A．Grateful.

B．Annoyed.

C．Unconcerned.

D．Confused.

【4】What can we learn about Camelli from the last paragraph?

A．She feels great about herself.

B．She won’t continue her teaching career.

C．She thinks that she just does what a teacher does.

D．She doesn’t think she has done enough.

22、As soon as a person dies, decomposition(分解) begins. And the first visitors arrive. “Within 5 to 15 minutes of death, flies or other insects begin to colonize the body.” says Rabi Musah, an organic chemist at the University at Albany.

She says different species turn up at different stages of decomposition. “So because of that, depending upon what entomological(昆虫学的) evidence you find, you can learn something about when the person died in terms of the timing of the death.”

Flies don't tend to stick around when disturbed by detectives. But they do leave behind eggs. The eggs are hard to tell apart by appearance alone, so specialists raise them until they hatch, a few weeks later—and they get a species ID and, with a little guesswork, a person's time of death. But Musah has come up with a more time-saving approach: chemical analysis of the eggs. She and her team investigated that method by first harvesting flies with pig-liver traps hidden throughout New York City. They collected the trapped flies and then chemically analyzed their eggs. And it turns out each species of fly egg has a unique chemical fingerprint—enough to tell the eggs apart without raising the eggs to maturity. The study is in the journal Analytical Chemistry.

Musah and her colleague Jennifer Rosati are now testing the method on a real case. “And once we do that we will be publishing some case studies to illustrate(阐明) that this is a method that can be used, and hopefully eventually it's something that will stand up in court, and something that could speed up detective work—or help deal with a cold case.”

【1】Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “colonize” in paragraph 1?

A. look for   B. fight over   C. carry away   D. gather on

【2】How can a specialist know a person’s time of death?

A. By researching the habitual nature of flies.

B. By relying on the entomological evidence.

C. By distinguishing the appearance of flies.

D. By discovering a new detective method.

【3】What can we infer about Musah’s approach from the last paragraph?

A. Scientists have published studies about it.

B. It is bound to make every cold case solved.

C. It may help accelerate the detection of cases.

D. It will be published in Analytical Chemistry.

【4】Where most probably can you see this article?

A. In a science fiction.   B. In a newspaper.

C. In a medical paper.   D. In a novel.

23、Ada Smith, chairwoman of a non-profit organization Protect the Earth, wore green for a special event with school children in New York on Wednesday. The 40-year-old woman stood against the cool weather in a long green coat that has been in her wardrobe (衣柜) for years.

She wore the coat for the first time in 2019 during her husband Bill Smith’s tour to a national environmental conference, and she put on it again in her classic sustainable (可持续的) style. Ada’s recycled outfit was perfect for the occasion, all about the environment.

Ada and Bill headed to the Central Park, where they spent time brainstorming ideas with students on how to deal with environmental issues. Ada said, “Education is such an important part of protecting our planet. We must inspire the next generation with the optimism, confidence and enthusiasm to chase those solutions and continue building a more sustainable future.”

Ada and Bill helped the students generate more than 60 ideas to help the environment. Ada said, “Young children already identify the climate as one of their biggest worries, and our organization aims to educate them that we can find the answers by working together.”

Their visit came ahead of an award ceremony, in which five winners will be announced in the first round of the environmental prize pioneered by Ada. Ada and Bill will appear at the ceremony on the next weekend, when they will walk the “green carpet” with activists committed to environmental causes.

Though their time with the children was part of a larger initiative, environmentalist Steve Johnson said, “They didn’t come there for a photo, but to sit, talk to and listen to kids. It is from the heart and people get that.”

【1】Why did Ada wear green?

A．To show a different dressing style.

B．To make herself more attractive.

C．To make herself match the event.

D．To fight against the cool weather.

【2】What is the key to protecting the earth according to Ada?

A．Teaching young children to participate in it.

B．Asking young children to study together.

C．Building the confidence of the next generation.

D．Inspiring more students to wear green clothes.

【3】What will Ada and Bill do on the next weekend?

A．Go to visit some students.

B．Attend an award ceremony.

C．Set up a non- profit organization.

D．Receive an environmental prize.

【4】What did Steve think of Ada and Bill’s action?

A．It’s costly.

B．It’s suspect.

C．It’s interesting.

D．It’s genuine.

24、Punks, Ravers, Mods and Teddy Boys. No, these aren't some hot new bands, but the names of a number of British youth subcultures(亚文化) from the last 70 years.

Youth Club, a UK not-for-profit organization, released a book earlier this year celebrating many different subcultures from throughout Britain s recent history.

"A catalyst(催化剂) for creativity on the worldwide stage, British youth culture movements from the Teddy Boys of the 1950s to the grime Scene of the 2000s continue to play a pioneering role in music, fashion and creativity across the globe," it wrote on its website.

These subcultures were traditionally a way for young people to show their personalities to others. Walking around London in the 1970s would have meant seeing dozens of young "punks" - people dressed in ripped denim(破洞牛仔裤), leather jackets, body piercings(穿孔) and with brightly-dyed hair—on the streets. And in the90s, “ravers” were young people who threw all-night parties in abandoned buildings or car parks.

So, what was the reason behind these subcultures?

"On both sides of the Atlantic, more and more young disappointed teenagers were looking for an escape from the boredom and constraints(约束)of society, "wrote lan Youngs, BBC entertainment reporter. "Unemployment, racial tensions and social upheaval (剧变)added fuel to their fires."

Youth subcultures have all but disappeared in the West. Some experts believe the reason for this is the instant and low-priced availability of music and clothing in the internet age.

"Fashion and music, they’re much cheaper and they’re much faster today, " Ruth Adams, a culture lecturer at Kings College London told The Guardian.

"When I was a teenager, you had to stick to one type of music or fashion, because it cost more money. Now, it' s all a bit more blurry(模糊不清的),” she said, believing that it's harder to figure out someone's personality or music tastes nowadays just by looking at them.

Despite this, Adams believes that today’s young people are still finding their own way to express themselves, but in a more modern way.

"It's certainly happening online," she said. "It's a lot easier to use personas(伪装) online just by showcasing certain types of mysterious knowledge."

【1】According to the text, British youth subcultures____.

A. could be traced back to the 1970s

B. were started by Youth Club to promote creativity

C. were a way for youth to express their identities

D. had a greater impact on fashion than music

a. Young people's desire for freedom and fun.

b. Young people's longing for fame and wealth.

c. The social pressure young people suffered.

d. The easy access to music and clothing.

A. a b

B. a c

C. b d

D. c d

【3】Which of the following would Ruth Adams probably agree with?

A. Music and fashion trends develop too fast for young people to follow today.

B. Young people today are less willing to express themselves as her peers did.

C. Young people today are less interested in music and fashion than her peers used to be.

D. The internet makes it harder to figure out the personalities of young people today.

【4】What's the author' s attitude toward subcultures?

A. Objective

B. Negative

C. Doubtful

D. Supportive
