As a medical student in Richmond, Eleanor Love showed up to as many wedding venues as possible, even when she didn’t know the bride and groom. She would call their wedding coordinators (协调员) and ask if she could stop by after their big day, and they almost always agreed.

Love, now a Virginia-based doctor, knows that weddings create a lot of leftover flowers—and that means more opportunities for her to collect after-wedding flowers and give them to her lonely hospital patients, many of whom don’t often get visitors, let alone expensive flowers.

Love, 27, who recently graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine and is doing a general residency at Riverside Regional Medical Center in Newport News, decided on the idea while working at the VCU hospital as a medical student and was interacting with patients who were severely ill. “You are there primarily as a learner, but you want to make an impact on your patients, and you don’t have the same knowledge as physicians,” Love thought.

So in 2019, she started The Simple Sunflower in Richmond, and so far has delivered more than 760 bunches of flowers to patients at VCU Medical Center. She brought fellow students and other people into her project, and now has more than 200 volunteers on the email list. She said the idea is not new, and that other cities across the country have similar programs.

Love has a lifelong appreciation of flowers and gardening, which she got from her mother. Love recalls her father taking her to a garden store and letting her pick a seed packet. She chose sunflower seeds and planted them—and years later, she chose The Simple Sunflower as the name for her group. Love, who worked part-time in a flower shop before medical school, cited several studies showing that flowers and other plants help hospital patients recover.

4. Why does Love frequent wedding venues?

A. To make new friends.

B. To bless the bride and groom.

C. To work as a coordinator.

D. To pick up leftover flowers.

5 What made Love start The Simple Sunflower?

A. The requirements of a student doctor.

B. Her intention to help lonely patients.

C. Encouragement from her fellow students.

D. Her desire to be a pioneer in the field.

6. What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A. Love’s bond with flowers.

B. Love’s study in a medical school.

C. Love’s efforts to expand her project.

D. Love’s appreciation for her parents’ help.

7. Which of the following can best describe Love?

A. Caring and devoted.

B. Courageous and strict.

C. Innocent and generous.

D. Ambitious and sensitive.

【答案】4. D    5. B    6. A    7. A

C

The 1930s and early 1940s were a good time to fish for sardines (沙丁鱼) off California. Centered on Monterey Bay, catches increased dramatically and supported the state’s economy. But the situation began to change in 1946, and sardine catches eventually fell from an average of 234,000 tons to just 24,000 tons. The industry went belly-up.

Scientists have guessed for decades about what caused this phenomenon, but they lacked data to test their theories. Now researchers have finally found one apparent cause: cycles of ocean upwelling, a defining feature of the West Coast sea environment in which deep, nutrient-rich water rises to the nutrient-poor surface and restores the food supply there. The key that unlocked this phenomenon turned out to be old seaweed specimens (标本) gathered around the U. S.

“Plants are just sitting there, recording data about the state of the ocean,” says Kyle Van Houtan, chief scientist at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and senior author of the new study. Van Houtan and others had suspected the impact of upwelling, but scientists only started measuring the process in Monterey Bay in 1946. Historic seaweed specimens, Van Houtan realized, might fill in the blanks for earlier years—similar to the way ice cores can help reconstruct CO2 levels from times before researchers started collecting real-time measurements.

For the new study, the scientists relied on the fact that deeper water near Monterey typically hosts more of a particular nitrogen isotope (氮同位素). Looking at modern upwelling data and recently collected seaweed, they found that higher levels of this nitrogen in the plants’ cells corresponded with periods of more upwelling. Next they measured the isotope levels in 70 historic specimens of the red seaweed Gelidium, gathered from Monterey as far back as 1878. The results suggested a gradual increase in upwelling and then a dramatic decrease, which lined up with the sardine population’s growth and decline.

“This paper is an excellent example of the creative detective work of historical ecology,” says Loren McClenachan, a marine ecologist at Colby College, who was not involved in the research. “There are thousands and thousands of similar specimens in collections around the world, and applying similar methods could teach us a great deal about long-term ocean change.”

8. What does the underlined part “went belly-up” in paragraph 1 mean?

A. Sprang up. B. Caught on. C. Crashed. D. Participated.

9. What does the author want to show by mentioning ice cores?

A. The significance of historic specimens.

B. The severity of global climate change.

C. The effectiveness of real-time measurements.

D. The necessity of sea level reconstruct ion.

10. How did the scientists carry out the new study?

A. By comparing different kinds of seaweed.

B. By analyzing historic and current data.

C. By recording the upwelling process.

D. By measuring the CO2 levels.

11. What can be the best title for the text?

A. The Rise and Fall of Red Seaweed Gelidium

B. Sardines Have Been Hard Hit by Overfishing

C. The Hidden History of Fisheries in the West Coast

D. Old Seaweed Reveals Secret of Monterey Sardine History

【答案】8. C    9. A    10. B    11. D

D

Digital life reaches far beyond our screens into the real world. That means we must figure  out how to live with the impact of technology in our backyards.

It isn’t always easy. Some residents of towns near e-commerce processing centers complain about traffic, pollution and safety risks from delivery vehicles. Communities where water is in short supply are worried about the needs of internet computer centers that use water to keep equipment cool. Neighbors sometimes complain about noise or garbage from nearby commercial kitchens and warehouses (仓库) for delivery services like Uber Eats.

Not so long ago, technology’s impact on our physical world wasn’t quite so obvious. What has changed is the rapid growth in demand. To meet demand, Amazon and other internet shopping companies have been opening warehouses and package distribution centers closer to where we live. Companies that deliver food to our door need to have real estate and transportation close to our homes and work. And the effects of climate change have made the competition for energy and water more urgent.

No individual or company is at fault for this situation on its own. Our collective demand for more online things is to blame, and the public, the government and companies need to face this new reality far more directly.

An article by The Information about conflicts over Amazon package operations in Milford, Mass., mentioned that the company formed a task force to address communities’ concerns about the impact of its delivery operations. Milford also appointed two officers to share residents’ concerns with Amazon. I don’t know if that s effective cooperation or window dressing, but it feels like a good first step to acknowledge that changing the places we live comes with tough questions about whether new neighbors are doing more good than harm.

Last year, I spoke with Richard Mays, the mayor (市长) of The Dalles, Ore., a town that is home to multiple computer data centers. Our conversation stuck with me because it got to the heart of the issue: Are these technology companies, many of them now in our backyards and on our streets, contributing more than they’re taking?

12. What does the author try to stress in paragraph 2?

A. The serious problems of traffic and pollution.

B. The development of communities in urban areas.

C. The distribution of e-commerce processing centers.

D. The residents’suffering caused by nearby e-commerce.

13. What does the author think of technology’s impact on our physical world?

A. It is under companies’ control.

B. It has to do with public demand.

C. It can be fought off effectively.

D. It goes unnoticed by the public.

14. What is the purpose of Amazon’s task force?

A. To help Amazon serve more communities.

B. To promote Amazon’s delivery operations.

C. To ease the locals’ worries about Amazon.

D. To seek the government’s cooperation with Amazon.

15. What is the author’s attitude to the benefits of technology companies close to communities?

A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Uncaring. D. Contradictory.

【答案】12. D    13. B    14. C    15. A

Where does the news come from?

____20____ Sometimes this source is named but other times the source is anonymous.

A. Is the content reliable?

B. Is it competitive in the market?

C. Many people avoid any news that is unfavorable to them.

D. Most news articles will have a ’source’ for their information.

E. Many fake news sites earn money by getting you to click on headlines.

Some of my classmates kept tell me they went to the city library to do their homeworks. Last weekend, I decided to give them a try. Having been told all the desks would be occupied in the flash, I went there early, quickly choose a desk and settled down. I finished all the work much more earlier than the scheduled time. I was amazing by my efficiency and thought about the reasons. When in a library, you feel too embarrassed to check your phone frequent. And when you look up, what you always see is someone deeply engaged in they are reading or doing. That acts like a stimulus, encouraging or forcing you to focusing on your work.

【答案】1.tell→telling
2.homeworks→homework
3.them→it
4.the→a
5.choose→chose
6.去掉more
7.amazing→amazed
8.frequent→frequently
9.在in后加what
10.focusing→focus

Dear Sophia,

This Friday will be the traditional Chinese Lantern Festival. It marks the final day of the traditional Chinese New Year celebrations. Fantastic lantern shows are usually held on this special day.

I’d like to invite you to pay a visit to the lantern show on Dongfang Road. We’ll see various lighted lanterns and we can give the lantern riddles a go. If luck is with us, we may win a big prize. After that, we can also try some tasty sweet dumplings.

If you’re interested, we can meet at our school gate at 7:00 pm this Friday.

Hope you can make it!

Yours,

Li Hua
