22、   Archaeologists used DNA taken from a broken clay pipe stem found in Maryland to build a picture of an enslaved woman who died around 200 years ago and had origins in modern-day Sierra Leone. One researcher called the work “a mind-blower.”

“In this particular context, and from that time period, I think it’s a first,” team member Hannes Schroeder told The Washington Post. “To be able to get DNA from an object like a pipe stem is quite exciting. Also it is exciting for descendant(后裔) communities. Through this technology, they’re able to make a connection not only to the site but potentially back to Africa.”

The pipe stem was found at the Belvoir plantation in Crownsville, Maryland, where enslaved people lived until 1864 and where a likely slave cemetery was recently found. DNA taken from the pipe linked back to a woman either directly from or descended from the Mende people, who lived in west Africa, in an area now part of Sierra Leone.

Julie Schablitsky, the chief archaeologist with the Maryland state highway administration, told The Post the discovery, based on saliva(唾液) absorbed into the clay pipe, was a “mind-blower”. She also said records show the existence of a slave trade route Sierra Leone to Annapolis, plied(定期往来) by British and American ships. “As soon as people stepped on those slave ships in Africa,” she said, “whether they were from Benin or whether they were from Sierra Leone, wherever they were from, that identity was lost. Their humanity is robbed. Who they are as a people has gone.”

The new analysis is part of ongoing research around Belvoir that has given descendants of the people enslaved there new insight into the lives of their ancestors. Speaking to The Post, Nancy Daniels, a genealogist from Laurel, Maryland, who thinks she is a descendant of enslaved families from Belvoir but was not linked to the research on the pipe, called the discovery “overwhelming.” “I’m sitting here about ready to cry,” she said. “I’m sorry. I'm so happy ... Thank God for the DNA.”

This year, events and ceremonies are being held to mark the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the first enslaved people in America, at Jamestown, Virginia, in 1619.

【1】What does the phrase “a mind-blower” in paragraphs 1 and 4 refer to?

A.A surprise. B.A confusion.

C.An excitement. D.A fascination.

【2】According to Hannes Schroeder, the pipe stem was of great significance because________.

A.it was the first direct evidence that slaves living in Maryland were originally from Africa

B.it helped the archaeologists to draw a portrait of the enslaved woman

C.it might contribute to identifying the birthplace of the descendant communities

D.it contained genetic clues to the ancestral background of its owner

【3】What can be inferred from the passage?

A.The owner of the pipe once lived in what is now an area in west Africa.

B.The history of slavery in America is an ongoing topic of concern.

C.African slaves lost their identities when they arrived at the Belvoir plantation.

D.Nancy Daniels, a genealogist was sorry for not being involved in the research.

【4】Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A.DNA from an old pipe throws lights on the origins of the enslaved

B.A new research reveals the origins of enslaved African woman

C.The descendants of enslaved people seek their identities

D.DNA contributes to the breakthrough of a new research

23、Positive Body Image Isn’t Enough

Body image as a construct focuses on our relationship with what our bodies look like. Most research in the field that’s been conducted with adolescent girls has focused on negative body image and its association with things like body dissatisfaction and eating disorders. 【1】 The Dove Self-Esteem Project is a leader in this evolution. Its website states that “our mission is to ensure that the next generation grows up enjoying a positive relationship with the way they look - helping young people raise their self-respect and realize their full potential.”

To fulfill this goal, we need to find ways to promote positive embodiment — that is, healthy ways of subjectively experiencing one’s body in the world that go above and beyond the way we look to the outside world.

1. Promote mindful self-care. In today’s “selfie” culture, where it seems like everything is about appearance, how do we help teens focus on the subjective, lived-in experiences in their bodies? One way is to promote mindful self-care — defined by Cook-Cottone (2015) as behaviors that cultivate an active appreciation for, and engagement with, the body. So, things that promote mind-body connection, like mindfulness, art, and the physical care of the body. 【2】

2. 【3】 Girls learn from a very young age that their bodies are valued for what they look like. Thus, it’s important to promote body functionality, which encompasses “everything the body is capable of doing — rather than how it looks” (Alleva, Veldhuis, & Martijn, 2016, p. 10). For example, focusing on how strong a girl’s legs are and how they help her run and play soccer, rather than how “cute” she looks in her uniform.

3. Look at the social context. Positive embodiment doesn’t develop on its own. Teens are under pressure from all directions, including peers, social media, and parents. 【4】 And we can challenge society as a whole to promote places and spaces where girls can develop positive embodiment in a well-rounded way.

A．In promoting these activities, we can encourage teens to focus on how they feel from within when engaged in these pursuits — rather than what they looked like while doing them.

B．As such, we can model ways of engaging in activities that promote positive embodiment and encourage girls to surround themselves with peers who do the same.

C．Although body image plays a role in having positive embodiment, the two don’t always go hand-in-hand.

D．In recent years, however, there has been a movement toward focusing on positive body image.

E．Be confident of body image.

F．Focus on body functionality.

24、   Technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, GIS and Mapping, Location Technology and autonomous machines are playing a growing role in responding to COVID-19 pandemic.

An important policy for authorities across the globe right now is to prevent the spread of the virus. To ensure it, they are taking unprecedented （空前的） measures to reduce people-to-people contact. Most countries took measures like the closure of non-essential public places, ban of mass gatherings and ensuring a social distancing to limit physical contact.

However, in some areas where individuals are not obeying the restrictions knowingly or unknowingly, or do not know what the latest restrictions are, law enforcing authorities are using drones （无人机） to monitor people' s movement and break up social gatherings that could cause a risk to society. The introduction of drones at this time of crisis is reducing the risk of getting infected to police officials and other staff since it enables them to monitor a vast range of area without physical engagement.

In addition to street monitoring, authorities are also using drones to broadcast messages and information about lockdown measures, especially in rural area that lacks open communication channels for health information. Drones equipped with loudspeakers are used to make public announcements to keep people indoors, take necessary preventive measures, make social-distancing and wear a mask if stepping outside from home.

A Global Times video on Twitter shows a drone flying over a village in Inner Mongolia, warning an old lady with audio in Chinese, “Yes, Grandmother, it’s the drone who is talking to you. You should not go out without wearing a mask. You’d better go home and don' t forget to wash your hands.”

However, the use of drones raises a debate about privacy and individual rights on mainstream media as well as social media platforms.

【1】What role do drones play in responding to COVID-19 pandemic?

A．Helping us know how COVID-19 spreads.

B．Preventing the spread of the virus.

C．Monitoring medical staff and collecting infected cases.

D．Monitoring social activities and broadcasting lockdown measures.

【2】What can we learn from Paragraph 3?

A．Individuals are breaking the restrictions deliberately.

B．Authorities don't know what the latest restrictions are.

C．All people' s social gatherings could threaten society.

D．Police officials and other staff are at less risk with drones.

【3】Why is a Global Times video on Twitter mentioned in the text?

A．To show drones work well without physical engagement.

B．To show drones have positive effects but sometimes scary.

C．To show people in rural area are curious about drones.

D．To show people in rural area are resistant to drones.

【4】What might be discussed in the following paragraph?

A．The great demand for drones.

B．Different comments on the use of drones.

C．How to update drones.

D．How to protect people' s privacy and individual rights.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

The old man turned away sadly with his eyes filled with tears. Poor Mr. Dev! Indra thought sympathetically. Another day went past and there was still no sign of his family. Indra wondered how children could be so heartless as to abandon a parent like this.

Indra recalled the day when the old man was admitted to her ward (病房). He was thin and delicate. He could not produce his identity card but he could remember the number. The hospital tried to contact his family using the phone number he gave them but it was in vain. He was treated for a lung infection and was now recovering. Soon, it would be time for him to be discharged (出院). Where would he go then? He did not look strong enough to look after himself. Indra threw down the file she was holding as anger rose within her.

“What’s the matter?” asked Poh, Indra’s colleague.

“I’m just upset about old Mr. Dev,” she replied. Poh nodded with understanding. She had been a nurse much longer than Indra. She had seen many cases of abandoned old people and she had learned to control her feelings.

“Don’t worry too much. The hospital will contact the welfare department. Mr. Dev will be placed in an old folks’ home,” Poh said and patted Indra’s arm comfortingly.

Indra sighed. “I know. It’s just that the old man really longs for his family to visit him. He cleans and tidies himself every morning and sits up to wait expectantly. You can see the eagerness in his eyes whenever the door opens. At the end of the day, he goes to sleep with tears in his eyes. You can feel the disappointment as he does. It makes me cry inside. I just could not bear it.”

Poh shook her head sadly, “He needs a miracle (奇迹).”
