Children are naturally curious about the world around them. When Chase Hansen was only 4 years old, he encountered homeless people for the first time while shopping with his dad at an outdoor mall in Salt Lake City, Nevada.  It’s no wonder that he had a lot of questions.

“Chase looked at me and said, ‘Dad, who are these people? Why don’t they have a place to stay?’” John Hansen recalled. “After I explained that they had run into hard times and were homeless, I knew that we were looking at an educational opportunity. My son wanted to help them.”

The father and son convinced a local Jamba Juice store to donate more than 100 smoothies(果汁)and the pair gave them out to homeless people in a park.

After that, they came up with an even better idea. “I wanted a way to get to know people better, “Chase said. ”So, my dad and I decided to start taking some of the homeless people we’d met out to lunch.

“A lot of people walk right past homeless people and don’t see the person,” he said. “I know now that they’re people just like us. They want to make a connection and not feel so alone in the world.”

Hundreds of lunches later, they run a self-funded charity called Project Empathy(同情)to help inspire others to meet and to create relationships with the homeless people in their neighborhoods. The organization provides a list of resources that can help homeless people with food, housing and employment.

John said that what started as a way to spend quality time with his son has turned into a passion for both of them. “Chase and I realized that the country needed an army of people to practice empathy, and that by doing something as simple as taking a homeless person to lunch, we could maybe inspire others to do the same, ”he said. “Any time you can help to give someone a voice, it’s empowering.

C．To donate more smoothies to the homeless. D．To inspire more people to help the homeless.

27．What’s the best title of the text?

From Zzz to Aha!

When you are stuck on a problem, sometimes it is best to stop thinking about it — consciously, anyway. Research has shown that taking a break or a nap can help the brain create paths to a solution. Now a new study expands on the effect of this so-called incubation by using sound cues to focus the sleeping mind on a targeted problem.

When humans sleep, parts of the brain replay certain memories, strengthening and transforming them. About a decade ago researchers developed a technique, called targeted memory reactivation (再激活) (TMR), aimed at further strengthening selected memories: when a sound becomes associated with a memory and is later played during sleep, that memory gets reactivated.

In a study published last November in Psychological Science, scientists tested whether revisiting the memory of a puzzle during sleep might also improve problem-solving. About 60 participants visited the laboratory before and after a night of sleep. In an evening session, they attempted different puzzles, with a distinct music clip repeating in the background for each, until they had worked on 6 puzzles they could not solve. Overnight they wore electrodes (电极条) to detect slow-wave sleep, a state of deep dreamless sleep, which may be important for memory enhancement — and a device played the sounds related to 3 of the 6 unsolved puzzles. The next day, back at the lab, the participants attempted the 6 puzzles again. All told, the subjects solved 32% of the sound-cued puzzles compared with 21% of the untargeted puzzles— an increase of more than 50 percent.

“These are super cool results. Now we need to go further and try to understand them by firstly replicating (复制) them and secondly trying to work out the component processes that are actually being influenced,” says Penny Lewis, a psychologist at Cardiff University.

Beyond providing new evidence that humans restructure memories while sleeping, the research may have practical implications. In a futuristic world, maybe TMR could help us use sleep to work on our problems. Sleep-monitoring technology is increasingly accessible — and even without gadgets, prospective solvers can focus on important problems before bed.

28．What can we learn about TMR?

A．It can be used to help people improve their sleep quality.

B．It is aimed at removing selected memories.

C．It replays a sound to get related memories reactivated in sleep.

D．It is a technique published in Psychological Science last November.

29．According to the experiment, what may be the reason for the increase of puzzle solving?

A．The specific music. B．The electrodes.

C．Slow-wave sleep. D．The targeted puzzles.

30．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A．The participants of the study. B．The researchers of the study.

C．The results of the study. D．The 6 unsolved puzzles.

31．What is the text mainly about?

A．Sleeping can help humans restructure memories.

B．Listening to music can strengthen and transform memories.

C．Taking a break or a nap can help the brain create solutions.

D．Reactivating remembered problems during sleep can bring solutions.

Technology is developing by leaps and bounds. A small device such as a smartphone now has more processing power than rockets to the Moon once had. New tech brings many advantages, making our lives easier and opening up new opportunities. One piece of kit that’s been really taking off recently is the drone. This pilotless mini aircraft, originally developed for aerial (航空的) photography and warfare, is now bringing us benefits closer to home. In the last few years, tech companies such as Amazon, Alphabet and Uber have promised us delivery drones—bringing goods to our doorsteps in a matter of minutes. While progress in developing them has been slow, drones are becoming more and more involved in our life.

Drones are helping to connect with and enhance the lives of people in remote locations. In the UK, the Royal Mail wants a fleet of 500 drones to help deliver the mail to faraway communities. Windracers, the company developing the drones, say they can fly in fog and produce 30% fewer emissions than comparable piloted aircraft. And in Coventry in the UK, construction has started on an air center, which will act as a base for police and delivery drones. Urban-Air Port Limited is working with car-maker Hyundai on the mini-airport, known as a skyport.

Drones can also play a part in improving the health of millions of people. For example, an incredible development project by the University of South Australia is for drones to eventually be able to survey populations for disease by reading the blood oxygen levels of humans from the air. They’ll also be able to scan for other vital signs, like coughing and a high temperature.

It seems that the sky is the limit for what drone technology can achieve. The only thing that sometimes keeps it from working is regulation. Writing for the BBC, Jessica Brown says: “If our skies are to become as crowded as our streets, airspace rules need updating to prevent accidents.”

32．What does the underlined sentence indicate?

A．A smartphone is more advanced than rockets.

B．The rockets to the moon are very powerful.

C．Technology is progressing very rapidly.

D．Technology is widely used in daily life.

33．What do we know about drones according to the passage?

A．They were initially developed for bringing goods.

B．They’ve improved people’s life quality in remote areas.

C．They don’t cause any pollution to the environment.

D．They can diagnose and treat some diseases from the air.

34．What does Jessica Brown mean?

A．The development of drones is quite promising.

B．It’s a pity that drones are limited to the sky.

C．Drones will be likely to cause some accidents.

D．Some latest laws are needed to regulate drones.

35．Which is the most suitable title for the passage?

A．Drones Are Delivering Benefits Closer to Home

B．Developing Drones Is Facing Many Challenges

C．Drones Are Currently Booming in Every Field

D．Companies Are Competing to Develop Drones

The future in sci-fi movies seems so close, yet so far away. Delightfully, 5G technology makes that future look easily achievable. Schools, hospitals, transportation, factories—even our homes will soon use this powerful wireless network. China started testing 5G mobile network in several cities in 2019. So what is 5G? It’s the latest generation of cellular(蜂窝状的)network technology. ___36___

5G’s benefits mainly come from speed and connectivity. ___37___ People will be able to use the Internet at a much greater speed than before. Imagine being able to download an entire movie in just a few seconds! That’s how fast 5G will be.

___38___ For example, one of the biggest problems with developing driverless cars is the delay between sending a signal and receiving it. Driverless cars must be able to react immediately to sudden changes in their environment, such as a dog running across the road. This will require these cars to send and receive huge amounts of data within milliseconds. ___39___ It will allow doctors to perform operations remotely, using robots. The robots will respond more quickly to the doctors’ movements.

So what about 5G’s connectivity? ___40___ Imagine having a smart home that automatically turns lights on when you open your front door.

“New things become possible when you can move information at a massive scale,” Gordon Smith CEO of a telecom equipment reseller, Sagent, told The Telegraph. “5G becomes the great enabler.”

A．Such speed helps other technologies, too.

B．We may develop smart environments with it.

C．5G will make it better.

D．It is faster and more stable than 4G, the last generation.

E．It connects people’s lives in various ways.

F．With 5G, people can conveniently solve many problems.

G．The advantage of higher speeds is obvious.

High school is considered the most important stage in one’s life. It won’t be long when I graduate. Now I have many things to share my fellows. First of all, I’d like to express my thanks to those who lend me a hand when I was disappointing. It was their kindness which helped me regain my self-confidence when I lost my heart. Beside, I am terribly anxious to clear up some misunderstanding with my friends in order to keep our friendships forever.
