As a teenager in the 1990s, Melissa Blake was interested in fashion. Unfortunately, fashion wasn't much interested in her. Blake, who has a bone and muscle disorder and stands a little under four feet tall, couldn't find jeans or dresses in her size. Looking through some fashion magazines, she didn't see a single person who looked like her.
“That would have been a game changer for me,” says Blake, who had 26 surgeries before age 17. “When you're a teenager — disabled or not — you deal with issues of self-esteem.”
Blake, 39, has spent her adult life trying to make up for that. She is a disability-rights activist as well as a writer, but she gained a national following after fighting back ugly comments about her online. She answered, “People said I should be stopped from posting photos of myself because I'm too ugly. So I'd just like to share these three selfies.”
Her fans went wild, calling Blake a powerful woman.
“I feel like every time I post a selfie or share something about my life as a disabled woman, that is to fight back,” Blake said.
Among her fans is Mindy Scheier, CEO of Runway of Dreams. Last fall, Scheier asked Blake to be one of the event's 24 models.
“Being able to put Melissa in the fashion event of the year just shows how important it is to expand the consumers in the fashion industry, or what we're really representing,” Scheier says.
“It was a little scary,” Blake says of modeling. But she's glad she took the challenge. “When disabled people are included, it sends a message that we deserve a seat at the table in all aspects of life.”
4. What does the underlined word “That" in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Blake was interested in fashion. B. Blake was born with a disability.
C. Blake found no disabled fashion models. D. Blake suffered from 26 surgeries before 17.
5. How did Blake respond to ugly online comments?
A. By turning to Scheier for help. B. By participating in some shows.
C. By arguing in fashion magazines. D. By posting selfies or sharing her life.
6. Why did Scheier ask Blake to be one of the event's models?
A. Because Scheier appreciated her talents in modeling.
B. Because Scheier took pity on her unfortunate experiences.
C. Because the disabled should have a place in the fashion industry.
D. Because the disabled should have rights to express themselves online.
7. What is the author's main purpose of writing the passage?
A. To promote a fashion show. B. To introduce a disabled lady.
C. To expose sex inequality. D. To report online comments.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. B

If you want to lose weight, you should choose your lunch companions wisely. A study found that co-workers who ate together tended to pick similarly healthy foods.
The researchers said their findings offered policymakers new strategies against fatness. “We found individuals tend to mirror the food choices of others in their social circles,” said Dr. Levy, lead author of the research. “People may change their behaviour to strengthen the relationship in their social circle.”
Co-workers may give each other permission to pick unhealthy foods, the researchers said, or place pressure to make a healthier choice. Levy added, “The effect was a bit stronger for healthy foods.”
Employees at a hospital could pay using ID cards, allowing the researchers to collect data on what, when and where to buy. They worked out social relationships by looking at how long apart two people bought food, how often they ate and whether they visited a different cafe at the same time. They surveyed over 1,000 employees to ask them about the names of dining partners.
“Considering other shared characteristics, co-workers were influencing each other's habits, rather than friendships formed between people with similar lifestyles,” Levy said.
The researchers said their findings could be widely used for public health interventions. It showed that interventions to improve healthy eating in a particular group may have a wider impact in individuals with social connections to that group.
Levy said, “To work out whether people with similar lifestyles and food preferences were more likely to become friends and eat together, we controlled common characteristics and analyzed the data from different angles, consistently finding the results were the same.”
8. What is the study mainly about?
A. How people choose lunch companions wisely.
B. How social circles affect people's food preference.
C. How policymakers offer new strategies against fatness.
D. How researchers give co-workers permission to pick foods.
9. How did researchers conduct their study?
A. By analyzing data. B. By visiting cafes.
C. By making comparisons. D. By interviewing experts.
10. The findings may be useful for .
A. public health guidelines B. food processing standards
C. personal career suggestions D. social service requirements
11. According to doctor Levy, what may strengthen social relationships?
A. Buying food at the same cafe. B. Picking food at the same time.
C. Using ID cards to pay in hospital. D. Copying each other's food choices.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。一项研究发现，一起吃饭的同事往往会选择类似的健康食品。文章主要介绍了这项研究开展的过程以及研究发现的意义。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中““We found individuals tend to mirror the food choices of others in their social circles,” said Dr. Levy, lead author of the research. “People may change their behaviour to strengthen the relationship in their social circle.”(“我们发现，每个人都倾向于反映自己社交圈里其他人的食物选择，”该研究的主要作者Levy博士说。“人们可能会改变自己的行为来加强社交圈中的关系。”)”可知，研究的主要内容是社交圈如何影响人们的食物偏好。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Employees at a hospital could pay using ID cards, allowing the researchers to collect data on what, when and where to buy.(医院的员工可以使用身份证支付，这样研究人员就可以收集关于购买什么、何时以及在哪里购买的数据)”可知，研究人员是通过分析数据进行他们的研究的。故选A。

Japan's government is facing criticism (批评)for pressing its plans to hold the Tokyo Olympics even as the country deals with COVID-19. More than 300,000 people have signed a petition (请愿书)calling for not holding the Games, which are set to open on July 23. An advertisement said people were in danger of being “killed by politics”.
Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga has repeatedly stated that the government is continuing with plans, promising the games will happen safely. Some Japanese lawmakers have questioned those statements as some hospitals still struggle to find beds for those sick with COVID-19.
Last month, Suga declared a third state of emergency in Osaka, as well as in Tokyo and two other areas. That lasted through May 31, 2020. On Wednesday, two more areas were placed under emergency measures. It is estimated that only 1 percent of the public has so far been fully vaccinated although millions of vaccines (疫苗)sit unused in very low temperature storage.
Suga and his government have faced criticism for being too slow and soft on virus measures. Japan has been able to keep its number of virus cases and deaths below those in the U.S. and Europe without restrictive measures. But the results are worse than in some other parts of Asia. Japan has also fallen far behind in vaccinations. Though officials blame a lack of supplies from Europe, progress has been slowed because of staff shortages. About 7.6 million vaccines remain unused in freezers.
The president of the Tokyo Olympic organizing committee, Seiko Hashimoto, said that Japanese athletes were likely to get vaccines before the games began. "In Japan, the vaccination of the citizens isn't going very well," she said, adding that the public saw giving the athletes vaccinations as a special treatment, so this gives rise to dissatisfaction among the citizens toward the games.
12. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. The government is to kill the people who caught the virus.
B. People are in danger for not supporting the Tokyo Olympics.
C. People are angry that the government only cared about politics.
D. The government doesn't provide enough vaccines for the public.
13. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The vaccines are in short supply.
B. The situation of COVID-19 is still serious.
C. The citizens are unwilling to get vaccinated.
D. Enough measures are taken against COVID-19.
14. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Lawmakers are in favor of Suga's statements.
B. Japanese measures are the most effective in Asia.
C. Japanese athletes are likely to get vaccines soon.
D. Lack of vaccines isn't to blame for slow vaccinations.
15. What's the citizens' attitude towards the Tokyo Olympics to be held as planned?
A. Positive. B. Uncertain.
C. Dissatisfied. D. Supportive.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。尽管日本正在处理COVID-19问题，但日本政府仍在敦促其举办东京奥运会的计划。超过30万人签署了一份请愿书呼吁不要举办定于7月23日开幕的奥运会。文章就此展开报道。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段的“Japan's government is facing criticism (批评)for pressing its plans to hold the Tokyo Olympics even as the country deals with COVID-19. More than 300,000 people have signed a petition (请愿书)calling for not holding the Games, which are set to open on July 23. （日本政府正面临批评，因为尽管日本正在处理COVID-19问题，但日本政府仍在敦促其举办东京奥运会的计划。超过30万人签署了一份请愿书呼吁不要举办定于7月23日开幕的奥运会）”可知，东京奥运会的举办会将公民的健康置于危险之中。结合常识可知，而举行奥运会是出于政治目的，由此推知，划线部分“people were in danger of being “killed by politics”.（人们面临被“政治杀害”的危险）”指的是人们对政府只顾政治不顾他们安危的行为感到愤怒。故选C。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段的“Last month, Suga declared a third state of emergency in Osaka, as well as in Tokyo and two other areas. That lasted through May 31, 2020. On Wednesday, two more areas were placed under emergency measures.（上个月，Suga宣布大阪、东京和其他两个地区进入第三紧急状态。这一直持续到2020年5月31日。周三，又有两个地区采取了紧急措施） ”可知，本段主要讲述了新冠的形势依然很严重。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“It is estimated that only 1 percent of the public has so far been fully vaccinated although millions of vaccines (疫苗)sit unused in very low temperature storage.（据估计，到目前为止，只有1%的公众接种了疫苗，尽管有数百万种疫苗在非常低的温度下存放） ”可知，日本当前有相当数量的疫苗，但接种进行地很缓慢。由此推知，缺乏疫苗不是接种缓慢的原因。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“More than 300,000 people have signed a petition (请愿书)calling for not holding the Games, which are set to open on July 23. （超过30万人签署了一份请愿书呼吁不要举办定于7月23日开幕的奥运会）”和最后一段的“"In Japan, the vaccination of the citizens isn't going very well," she said, adding that the public saw giving the athletes vaccinations as a special treatment, so this gives rise to dissatisfaction among the citizens toward the games.（她说： “在日本，市民接种疫苗的情况不太好。”她还说，公众把给运动员接种疫苗视为一种特殊待遇，因此这引起了市民对奥运会的不满）”可推知，日本公民对奥运会的如期举行表示不满。故选C。

【20题详解】
根据下文“We feel that we won't be noticed or appreciated unless we are better than everyone else. ”（我们总觉得只有自己比别人强，才会被别人注意或欣赏）和下文“The truth is that we don't need to be the best anything.”（事实是，我们不需要成为最好的任何事物），该空对上文进一步解释，下文对该空和上文进行转折，说明事实。E选项“我们被鼓励不断地与别人斗争，以取得“胜利””切题，选项中的“to "win””对应上文中的“better than everyone else”，故选E。

At dinner, Holly was talking about her father's huge car. It used too much petrol. It made too much noise. And it caused too much pollution.
“You have to change it, Dad,” Holly said. “It's destroying the environment.” “Actually, I'm thinking of working from home, so I won't need the car.” “That's great!”
Her father looked quickly at his wife, then decided to continue, “But I'm going to build a new office at the end of the garden.”
“At the end of the garden? There is the old oak tree...” Holly didn't finish the sentence. Her face turned white with anger.
Holly's mother said, “That tree is very old, Holly. And your father can have his hew office there. It's perfect.”
Holly was so upset. She couldn't believe this was happening. What could she do? They were going to cut down her tree!
She walked out into the garden The sun was sinking now and the old oak tree was huge and dark against the sky. She climbed up the rope ladder and disappeared among the leaves and branches.
Now she was inside her old tree house. It was her favourite place in the world, her secret place. There were holes in its roof and there were old birds' nests in the comers. But there was a little chair, some broken toys and some blankets. She sat down and looked out at the garden and the sky. She could see the moon and stars. She could hear a bird singing. She could see the lights inside her house.

【答案】Three hours later, her parents walked up to the tree. They tried to ask her to come down. “I know the tree means much for you, darling,” Her mother explains, “But we have to.” Holly was disappointed. They just didn’t understand. It was not all about memories. It was also about oxygen. It was about homes for birds and animals. Holly stayed in the tree house for the night, thinking hard what she could do to change her parents’ minds.
Holly had a plan when her parents came the next morning. “You don’t have to cut down the tree, Dad. Wouldn’t a glass office under the tree look cool?” Pointing to her drawing of the intended glass office, Holly highlights the splendid view of nature as well as perfect shades of the tree. “Sounds great. I’ll think about it carefully.” Her father patted her on the head. Hearing his promise, Holly smiled and gave him a big hug.
