阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

A
The Hitchhiker’s Gu ide to the Galaxy (HG2G) by Douglas Adams
This is a comedy science-fiction series about a man’s adventures in space. It was initially a radio comedy broadcast on BBC Radio4. It is extremely funny and inventive, and has a very British sense of humor, whose true meanings foreign readers can hardly make out though it has been translated into French and Italian and so on. But when I read it I feel a strong connection to my home. It was published in paperback by Pan Books, after BBC Publishing had turned down the offer of publishing a novelization, an action they later regretted.
The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett
Have you ever read a description of a landscape or countryside that made you feel like you were actually there? For me, this book does exactly that. It is about a young girl who is taken to live in a big house in my hometown and discovers a secret garden.
Daddy-Long-Legs by Jean Webster
This book takes the form of a series of letters, and follows the story of a young orphan(孤儿), Judy, as she goes to university and discovers a whole world of new experiences. This book always reminds me of my family, especially my mother, because she used to read it to me when I was ill in bed.
The Railway Children by E. Nesbit
This was one of my favorite books when I was younger, and for this reason it still strongly reminds me of England and my childhood. It is also set in Yorkshire where I was born and spent my childhood, and follows three children living next to a railway
and their adventures.
21. What do we know about HG2G?
A. It was based on true adventures.
B. Its language is abstract and inventive.
C. Its humor is hard for foreigners to understand.
D. It was adapted for radio after being published.
22. Which books are set in the same place?
A. Daddy-Long-Legs&HG2G.
B. The Secret Garden& The Railway Children.
C. The Secret Garden & HG2G.
D. Daddy Long Legs & The Railway Children.
23. What do all the books have in common?
A. They follow children’s adventures.
B. They are British countryside series.
C. They refer to the author’s childhood.
D. They bring memories of home to the author.
B
In 202X, Chennai was destroyed by one of the worst floods in over a century, leaving thousands without food, water and supplies. During the flood, many heroes arose, one of whom was Santosh, a young man who owned a take out restaurant in Chennai.
When the first flood hit in November, he got a call from a company called Naga Rava. The company asked him to prepare 5,000 packets of food and give them to the flood victims. He, with his partners, took the order, cooked for 14 hours and delivered them. But that night, as they sat together discussing the event of the day, they
actually felt ashamed. “Here was a man not even from Chennai and he was going out of his way to help the affected people. We, while living here, had not really done anything ourselves for our own people,” said Santosh later.
He then began the groundwork for a collection to help cook more dishes. Little did he know that the November flood was just the beginning, and the real show was about to begin. The December flood affected them all. His own house got flooded and his family was trapped on the second floor. They lost phone connection and electricity. In spite of this, Santosh went back out into the flood, creating a kitchen and preparing food all by himself for the victims.
He did not sleep for four days, taking a one-hour break every day as he kept on cooking. As word got out about this man’s effort, others stepped out to join him. From children to the elderly, strangers came to help him in cooking, packing and transporting food. Up to 300 volunteers worked together to make it all happen. By the time the fourth day finally came to an end, Santosh and his team had prepared 170,000 food boxes and delivered them to people in need.
24. What inspired Santosh to help the affected people?
A.A call for help.
B. His cooking skills.
C. An act of kindness of a stranger.
D. The encouragement from his partners.
25. What does “the real show” in the third paragraph refer to?
A. The help and support.
B. The severer flood.
C. Santosh’s family suffering.
D. Santosh’s cooking more food.
26. Which of the following can best describe Santosh?
A. Energetic and helpful.
B. Determined and clever.
C. Selfless and caring.
D. Kind and wise.
27. What is the best title for the text?

B. Major Floods Brought Challenges To People

D. A Man Cooked 170,000 Meals For The Affected

Clara Barton, born on Christmas in 1821, is widely known as one of the most honored women
in American history. She began teaching school when most teachers were men at ter,
she became one of the first women ever to be employed by the govern ment.
Her career in helping the sick began when her brother David becam e her first patient. He fell down from the roof of a house when Cl ara was just 11 years old. She stayed by his side and
looked after him for three years, learning how to give him all his medicines.
When the Civil War began in 1861, she immediately recognized that the poorly equipped
soldiers needed help. Instead of waiting for others to step in, Clara collected necessary things on
her own, asked the public for donations and learned how to store and
distribute them to soldiers.
She also read to the soldiers and wrote letters for them.
After the Battle of Cedar Mountain in northern Virginia in 1862, Cl ara arrived at a fieldhospital
at midnight with a vehicle full of supplies. A doctor named Paul Smi th at that hospitalwould later write, “I thought heaven had sent out an angel that night —her assistance arrived atexactly the
right time.”
In 1869, Clara went to Europe and learned about the International C ommittee of the Red Cross. Upon her return to the United States, she successfully founded the American Red Cross. She led
the organization for the next 23 years. Her last field mission as pr esident of the American Red
Cross was to help the victims of the 1900 Galveston hurricane. She d id not retirefrom the
American Red Cross until she was 83. True to her nature, Clara alway s went to where the need
was the greatest.
Today, the American Red Cross continues the mission Clara started more than 100 years ago. With the help of thousands of volunteers, t he American Red Cross provides relief to victims of
disasters, as well as helps people prevent, prepare for and respond t o all sorts of emergencies.
28.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that Clara Barton was ______ .
A. honest
B. caring
C. talented
D. modest
29. After the Civil War broke out, Clara Barton _______ .
A. joined the army and fought bravely
B. went to Europe for further study
C. continued to work as a teacher
D. did a lot to help soldiers
30. Seeing Clara Barton’s arrival, Dr. Smith must have felt _______

oyful

Our ability to collect data gets far ahead of our ability to fully use it, yet
data may hold the key to solving some of the biggest global challenges facing us today.
Take, for instance, the frequent outbreaks of waterborne diseases as a consequence
of war or natural disasters. The most recent example can be found in the country,
where roughly 10,000 new suspected cases of cholera are reported each week — and
history is filled with similar stories. What if we could better understand the environmental factors that contributed to the disease, predict which communities are at higher risk, and put in place protective measures to stop the spread? Answers to this question and others like it could potentially help us prevent a catastrophe.
As a big data scientist, I studied data from wide-ranging, public sources to identify patterns, hoping to predict trends that could be a threat to global security. Various data streams are important because the ground truth data (such as surveys) is often delayed, limited, incorrect or, sometimes, nonexistent.
For example, knowing the incidence (发生率) of mosquito-borne disease in communities would help us predict the risk of mosquito-spread disease such as dengue, the leading cause of illness and death in the tropics. However, mosquito data at a global (and even national) level is not accessible.
To address this gap, we’re using other sources such as satellite pictures, climate data and population information to forecast the risk of dengue. Specifically, we had success in predicting the spread of dengue in Brazil at the regional, state and city level using these data streams as well as clinical observation data and online searchers that used terms related to the disease. While our predictions aren’t perfect, they show promise.
Similarly, to forecast the flu season, we have found that online searches can complement(补充) clinical data. Because the rate of people searching the internet for flu symptoms often increases during their beginning, we can predict a sharp increase in cases where clinical data delays. All of this shows the potential of big data. The information is there; now it’s time to use it.
32.What do the examples in paragraphs 2 and 4 show?
A. Big data is still hard to get and use.
B. People aren’t skilled at dealing with big data.
C. Big data is not always an imagined method.
D. Catastrophes might be prevented with big data.
33.According to the text, survey data.
A. is a main form of multiple data streams
B. is an effective way to collect information
C. is sometimes unreliable and unavailable
D. is a timely alternative to multiple data streams
34.What does the underlined part “this gap” in paragraph5 refer to?
A. The lack of big data on mosquitoes.
B. The lack of different data streams.
C. The risk of an outbreak of a disease.
D. The ignorance of how a disease spreads.
35. What’s the best title of the text?
A. How do we collect and use data?
B. What are the challenges facing us now?
C. How can big data help save the world?
D. What is the answer to preventing catastrophes?

Dear Tim,
I am eagerly planning to apply to be a volunteer for Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games. Knowing you have relevant experience, I’m w riting to ask a favor from you.
To begin with, please tell me what I should prepare in advance and since a convincing application is of vital importance, could you give me some direction on how to write it? What’s more, I would appreciate it if you could share your volunteer experience with me in detail, which I think will help me become somewhat familiar
with this kind of work.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours truly,
