I grew up in a home with a mother who believes that vaccines cause brain damage, and donot contribute to the health and safety of a society. The only shot I received was for tetanus (破伤风) when I was two months old. After that, nothing.

At the beginning of each school year, I was very anxious. Delayed term paper?Mischievous (捣蛋的) behaviour? Late for school? None of them. I’d be pulled out of class andbrought to the headmaster’s office. The school doctor would tell me I haven’t received any ofthe necessary shots to attend school. But the same thing occurred each time: my mom wouldexempt (免除) me from the shots and nothing would happen.

After doing a lot of research, I found although people who don’t vaccinate their childrenmake up only a relatively small group, they can cause major consequences. People who, forhealth or age reasons, cannot receive vaccines are at a higher risk of catching a preventabledisease.

Eventually, I turned 18. In Ohio, where I live, I had to wait until I became a legal adult tomake the decision to receive vaccine shots. A huge factor in taking the step to ensure my healthwas the message board website Reddit. Last year, I asked Reddit users for advice about whatvaccines to ask for and how to go about getting them from a doctor. After my post receivedmore than 1,000 comments, I made an appointment with my family physician. Despite howstrongly my mother felt I went through with it anyway.

I did something every person should do. It wasn’t special in any way. Vaccines protect thehealth and safety of not only yourself but also other people. Vaccination is important becausesomeone could die if you don’t get vaccinated. This was the biggest reason I got vaccinateddespite the opposition.

24. What can we know about the author from Paragraph 1?

A. He was born disabled.  B. He suffered from tetanus.

C. He was hardly vaccinated. D. He was spoiled by his mother.

25. Why did the author feel nervous at the beginning of each school year?

A. Because he would never behave himself. B. Because he couldn’t go to school on time.

C. Because he often forgot to do his term paper. D. Because he would be called to meet headmaster.

26. How might the author’s mother have felt about his appointment with the family physician?

A. Grateful B. Annoyed C. Excited D. Guilty

27. What message does the author try to convey through his story?

A. Obeying the old pays off. B. Keeping fit is the best policy.

C. Doing the right thing matters. D. Following advice is beneficial.

C

For more than 30 years, Mauro Morandi has been the only resident of a beautiful island inthe Mediterranean sea. He hoped to make it his life-long home, but that is now under threat.

Morandi now faces eviction (驱逐) from the Isle of Budelli, off the coast of Sardinia, if hedoesn’t voluntarily leave. Local authorities are speeding up plans to turn his hut into anenvironmental observatory.

Morandi arrived on the island by accident while attempting to sail from Italy to Polynesia31 years ago. He fell in love with the pure water, coral sands and beautiful sunsets, and decidedto stay. He took over from the previous caretaker shortly afterward and, at the age of 81, he’sstill there and ready to fight for his home, whatever it takes.

“I wouldn’t know where else to go live—this is my home. All I ask is, if I must be sentaway during the reconstruction work, that I can come back after and keep doing what I do eachday: guard the pink coral beach, keep tourists at bay, and protect nature. I fear that if I’m gone,the pink coral beach will survive only on postcards from the past,” Morandi says. An onlinepetition (请愿) has been launched to his end, which in just a few days has gathered more than2,600 supporters across the world.

The island has changed ownership several times over the last few years. Since 2015,Budelli has been owned by La Maddalena’s National Park, making Morandi’s role a thing of thepast. The authorities say they are simply upholding the law. “Our priority is to intervene againstall illegal construction inside the park, including Morandi’s hut. We need to set an example:protect our environment by first restoring this illegal structure, and then move on with a newproject which will likely be a scientifc center for the spreading of environmental awareness,”La Maddalena’s National Park president Fabbrizio Fonnesu says.

28. Why did Morandi choose to live on Budelli about three decades ago?

A. Because he wanted to save the island. B. Because be got tired of the noisy city.

C. Because he was attracted by its beauty. D. Because he was going to be its caretaker.

29. What worries Morandi at the thought of leaving Budelli?

A. The reconstruction work of the natural park. B. The possible damage to the environment.

C. The change of the island’s ownership. D. The loss ofhis hut on the island.

30. How does Fonnesu look at Morandi’s hut?

A. It is against the law. B. It is a witness of history. C. It is dangerous to live in. D. It is a landmark of Budelli.

31. Where is the text probably from?

A. A research paper. B. A guidebook. C. An autobiography. D. A news report.

D

An individual from an unknown hominid (原始人类) species walked across a field of wet,volcanic ash in what is now East Africa around 3.66 million years ago, leaving behind a handfulof footprints.

Those five ancient footprints, largely ignored since they were partly unearthed atTanzania’s Laetoli site in 1976, show features of upright walking by a hominid, a new studyfinds. Researchers had previously considered them hard to classify, possibly produced by ayoung bear that took a few steps while standing. But the latest analysis refutes that suggestion.

McNutt, DeSilva, who started the new investigation as a Dartmouth College graduatestudent, and their colleagues fully dug out and cleaned the five Laetoli footprints in June 2019.Then they measured, photographed and 3-D scanned the ancient tracks. McNutt’s group focusedon two footprints that were particularly well-preserved. Foot shapes, sizes, and walkingcharacteristics of the Laetoli individual differed in various ways from those of other hominidindividuals at the same site. The prints also didn’t match those from modem black bears andmodern chimps (黑猩猩) walking upright.

The Laetoli individual possessed a wider, more chimplike foot than humans, theresearchers say. Its big toe stuck out slightly from the second toe (脚趾), but not to the degreeobserved in chimps. On one step, the Laetoli individual’s left leg crossed in front of the right leg,leaving a left footprint directly in front of the previous track. People may cross-step in this waywhen trying to regain balance. And bears and chimps assume a relatively wide standing due toknee and other bone arrangements that prevent them from walking like the Laetoli individualand probably from cross-stepping, the scientists say.

Given that only two of the ancient footprints are complete enough to analyze thoroughly,the possibility that a chimp other than a hominid made the Laetoli footprints can’t be ruled out,says William Harcourt-Smith, a scientist at Lehman College. But evidence of cross-stepping isenough to prove that it was a hominid track maker, he says.

32. What does the underlined word “refutes” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Objects to. B. Supports. C. Puts forward. D. Criticizes.

33. Why do researchers think the footprints were unlike those of bears or chimps?

A. They are less chimplike.  B. They have toes sticking out.

C. They show a wider standing. D. They get features of cross-stepping.

34. What does William think of the new research finding?

A. Challenging. B. Convincing. C. Confusing. D. Conflicting.

35. What is the purpose of the text?

A. To share a new discovery. B. To describe a major event.

C. To settle a huge disagreement. D. To introduce an unknown species.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Including children in the farming lifestyle has many benefits. Sure, it is nice to have theadditional help with chores (家庭杂务), but it also fosters so much growth, sending our kidsdown a good path towards who they will someday become. It is possible that our children willgrow up to lead lives that do not include farming.36

Through caring for farm animals, kids learn that in life others often come before self.37   It doesn’t matter if we don’t feel like it or if we are sick and tired. What matters is thatwe take care of the animals that take care of us and do so in a timely manner.

38   If the work on a farm does not get done, the operation fails. It takes discipline andcommitment to get down to business every day, and seeing this in action will give kids a goodwork attitude. They will know and understand that nothing good comes easy and that they haveto work to survive.39   Functioning as part of a productive team will surely be playing acrucial role sooner or later in all walks of life.

Additionally, farming teaches patience.   40   Cattle will be difficult to control.Horses will run away when you try to catch them. Goats will kick over that bucket ofhard-earned milk. A rooster will decide you got too close to his hens and give you a run for yourmoney. In spite of all that, kids will learn to be patient and take things easy.

There may not be any instant reward, but in the long term kids will see the benefit of alltheir efforts during those hard days.

A. At the same time, they learn to work with others.

B. Farm life also teaches kids the value of hard work.

C. Teamwork is an important skill to develop and use.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I always wondered how people would react if I tried to approach a stranger for help in abusy place like a street corner or in a bustling mall. I personally have always hurried past astranger who tried to catch my attention in a busy place or when I am rushing around.

Yesterday I had a taste of being stuck in such a desperate situation where you only hope ofhelp would have to come from a total stranger.

I was in a busy shopping mall buying a large piece of luggage. After the purchase in one ofthe large, fancy, expensive shops, I picked up my phone from my pocket to call my driverwaiting in the parking lot and my phone was dead.

I then requested the shop assistant who had just sold me the luggage, which was not cheapat all, if she could ring the number of my driver for me. She replied, still all smiles, “I’m sorrySir, but it is the shop policy that we cannot use mobile phones while working in the shop.”

As I was wondering what kind of policy that was, I saw a nice-looking teenage boy comingtoward me. Remember my wife’s interesting theory that beautiful people are more likely to giveyou a hand when you’re in trouble, I thought I might have a chance. But before I could say aword, he walked past me. It turned out he simply didn’t see me.

I waited a bit longer in the mall but it seemed nobody bothered to look at me. Disappointedand tired, I got out of the shop on to the busy street in front. I stood there with people rushing by,looking at their faces to see if there was a sign of kindness on their face. I began wondering howmany times I had reacted to strangers like the shop girl and the teenager.
