A few years after our move,I was thrilled when an opportunity arose for me to teach at the college. However, I felt bad when students in my classes asked whether they could join my research lab and I had to tell them no---I didn't do research anymore. Maybe it was time to explore whether that was possible.I had always claimed I didn't have a research program because I wasn’t a tenure-track professor, but was that really the barrier? Was it just easier to blame my status than to try to get a lab up and running? Was fear of failure holding me back?Over the following months, the risks of not starting up research-boredom, depression, regret-began to outweigh the risk of trying and failing. I decided to give it a go.When I reached out to the chair of the department, he said he would support my plan as long as I was guiding students. Colleagues offered to share equipment, expertise, and space. I had enough money in a college-provided development fund to buy a few reagents(试剂). As for a research question, while teaching in the introductory lab I had learned that the cost of using worm Lumbriculus was inexpensive, and that it offered plenty of interesting avenues for investigation. I was ready to go.In June of 2019, I nervously started to guide my first group of research students. I worried that my skills would be rusty or, worse, out-of-date. Indeed, some bread-and-butter techniques from my past were no longer relevant. But I found that the key process of scientific inquiry-asking questions, designing experiments, interpreting data-hadn't changed. And my trouble tuning（微调），we had an interpretable blot---reason for a minor celebration. By the end of the summer, we hat generated enough data to put together a poster to present at a conference in January.I left that meeting feeling optimistic and energized about the future, wondering why I had waited so long to return to research. What did the author decide to do after teaching at the college?A.Manage to get a tenure-track job.B.Show her great ability in teaching.C.Think about starting a research lab.D.Develop her students’ ability in scientific re-search.5.How did the author's colleagues react to her decision?A.They doubted her ability          B.They showed no interest in it.C.They thought it was impractical.  D.They gave her a lot of support.6.What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph?A.Her research program went very well.B.She spent much time regaining her skills.C.She was quite confident from the beginning.D.Her students had difficulty collecting enough data.7.What lesson can we learn from the author's experience?A.We should be creative and dream big.B.Being hesitant can be a great barrier to success.C.We should never let lack of support hold us back.D.Being around talented people can help us succeed.   CResearchers are working on machine learning systems to identify COVID-19 cases by the sound of a person's cough.One system has demonstrated a high success rate in detecting COVID-19 in people with no physical signs of the disease.Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT, recently published a paper reporting results of the system.The team created an artificial intelligence(AI) model to examine the sound of people who produced a forced cough.The sounds were collected from people who recorded them on computers or mobile devices. The individuals were also asked to pro-vide information about any symptoms they were experiencing, as well as whether they had been officially tested for COVID-19. People then sent the recordings and data to researchers through the Internet or their devices. Researchers reported they had received more than 70,000 recordings,amounting to about 200,000 individual cough examples. The team then trained the model on the cough sounds, as well as spoken words.One of the project's leaders is Brian Subirana, a re-search scientist in MIT's Auto-ID Laboratory. Subirana and his team had already been developing AI models to examine forced-cough recordings to search for signs of Alzheimer's disease.Such signs can include changes in personality and memory loss, but Alzheimer's can also cause nerve and muscle problems, including weakened speech.So when the coronavirus pandemic developed, Subirana told MIT News, he thought the same model structure might work for COVID-19.This is because there was evidence that COVID-19 infected individuals may also experience voice muscle weakness.The team says it is working to develop a user-friendly app that could be used on a wide basis to detect COVID-19 cases. This would make it possible for users to cough into their phone and receive immediate information on whether they might be infected and should seek an official test.The effective use of such a tool could also diminish the spread of the pandemic if everyone uses it before going to a classroom, a factory, or a restaurant, Subirana explained.8.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A.How the AI model works.       B.What the AI model is made of.C.Where the researchers are from.   D.Why the researchers created the AI model.9.What does the team think of the user-friendly app?A.It is only used in public places.        B.It cannot replace an official test.C.It only functions when you're infected. D.It prevents people from getting COVID-19.10.What does the underlined word “diminish”in the last paragraph mean?A.Accept.   B.Accelerate.     C.Reduce.   D.Measure.11.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.AI is used to detect various diseasesB.AI helps patients with COVID-19 recover soonC.AI helps detect how fast COVID-19 is spreadingD.AI aims to identify COVID-19 by the sound of coughingDNative to the Russian Far East and Northern China, the Amur leopard（远东豹）has a distinctive spotted coat, and runs extremely fast. However, unlike many other big cats, this leopard isn't facing serious population declines. The number of Amur leopards is increasing in Northern China,according to a new study.“All subspecies（亚种）of leopards have decreased fast for the past few decades.The North Chinese leopard is not an exception,having disappeared from most of their historical ranges," says co-author Bing Xie from the University of Copenhagen.“We were quite surprised that the number of leopards has increased, because their populations are declining in many other places.”Researchers from the University of Copenhagen and Beijing Normal University covered 800 square kilo-meters of the Loess Plateau in Northern China between 2016 and 2017 looking for the Amur leopard. They set camera traps to record leopard visits. “And we found lots of signs in the field, such as scratches,furs,and footprints,” Xie says.Researchers found the number of leopards rose from 88 in 2016 to 110 in 2017---a 25% increase. The Amur leopard faced extinction in 2007, with just 30 animals counted in Russia, according to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). But a 2015 study found the Amur leopard's population had started to mend with 57 cats counted in Russia's Land of the Leopard National Park and 8 to 12 counted in China.“Such a strong rebound is further proof that even the most critically endangered big cats can recover if we protect their habitat and work together on conservation efforts,” said WWF conservation director Barney Long.Researchers suspect there are several factors that contribute to the leopard's population rise. The Chinese government worked with scientists to put a plan in place in 2015 to restore biodiversity（生物多样性）to the area. As the habitat flourished, smaller animals returned.“Together with the development of society, supported by the government, and efforts of researchers, forests recovered, followed by the recovery of prey species of leopard, and then the top predator (捕食者) came back, the North Chinese leopard,”Xie says.12.What do we know about the Amur leopard according to the study?A.Its population in Northern China is on the rise.B.The number of the animals is increasing globally.C.It has moved out of its habitat in Russian Far East.D.Its population is larger than those of other leopards.13.What does the underlined word “rebound” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Big change.          B.Widely distributing.C.Adequate protection.   D.Increasing again after decreasing.14.What can be concluded about Amur leopards from Paragraph 4?A.All of them are living in the wild.B.Most of them are found in China now.C.They often travel between two countries.D.They kept increasing from 2015 to 2017.15.Why are there more and more Amur leopards being found?A.A great many camera traps have been set.B.The natural environment is getting better.C.The habitat is greatly affected by human activity.D.The government doesn't disturb them anymore.   II.七选五For most people, life has become a burden on their shoulders,and its weight is growing heavier and heavier, until one day they can't carry it anymore. So how can we design a life that is less complex and more meaningful? With minimalism（极简主义）.              16              The following ways will assist you in your journey to living a simpler yet fuller life.17 Most people's living space is filled with things that are never used and don't contribute to their well-being. Separate the ones you do need from the ones you don't, and throw the latter right into the dustbin---or better, give them away to people who might actually benefit from them.Appreciate all the amazing things you already have. We constantly compare ourselves to others who seem happier, more beautiful and more important than us.We try our best to imitate（效仿）those we envy.                18               We need to stop comparing and accept ourselves for who we are,with all our imperfections. Take a moment to appreciate what you have.Do one thing at a time. Minimalist living actually means making the most out of each and every moment. We're usually carrying out different tasks at the same time.So whatever we are doing,our mind is partly wondering somewhere else.              19                Develop mindfulness.                20              Thus you need to develop mindfulness. Mindfulness means fully attending to what's happening in the present. There are many ways one can do so. Perhaps the most common way is to sit for about 30 minutes somewhere comfortably with your upper back straight and pay full attention to your breath as it's coming in and out through your nose.In this way，you won’t be distracted（使分心）by your thoughts.A.It is about enjoying life more with less.B.Stop consuming products you don't need.C.Yet no matter how much we try, we always fail.D.Get rid of things that don't serve your happiness.E.Minimalist living requires a calm and undisturbed mind.F.Stop multitasking and concentrate on a single thing at a time.G.Unfortunately, our minds are filled with worries in our busy lives. III.完形填空You may have heard of Oseola McCarty, who worked for 75 years as a washerwoman.

It was amazing that I used to cycle right by a              34               every day on my way to school and I did notice how everything was clean and neat there, but I didn't know it              35               to be where she lived.Oseola gave me much more than a scholarship.She taught me about the gift of 36   . She worked her Whole life and gave to others, which reached deep inside of me and fueled my                37              to give back when I could. Eventually I plan to add to her scholarship fund.
