It is true that most of the time we should depend on ourselves for safety rather than entirely on the police, especially when staying at home.

Marie Van Brittan Brown, an African American nurse living in Jamaic, Queens in the 1960s, was working in shifts, as was her husband, Albert, an electronics technician. When she arrived home late, she sometimes felt afraid. Serious crimes in Queens jumped nearly 32 percent from 1960 to 1965, and police were slow to respond to emergency calls. Marie wanted to feel safer at home.

With the help of her husband, Marie imagined a device that could be attached to the front door. It would offer four small holes, and through these, a video camera on the inside could view visitors of different heights as the host turned the camera up and down. The camera was connected to a television monitor inside. A microphone on the outside of the door and a speaker inside allowed the host to interrogate a visitor, while an alarm could inform the police via radio.

Closed-circuit Television （CCTV）, invented during World War II for military use, was not widespread in 1960s, and the Browns proposed using the technology to create the first modern home security system. They filed a patent for their device in 1966, citing Marie as the leading inventor. It was approved three years later. “ The equipment is not in production, ” The New Times reported, “ But the Browns hope to interest manufactures and home builders. ” That never happened. “ The cost of installing it widely would be very pretty high, ” says Robert McCrie, an emergency management expert at John Jay College of Criminal in Manhattan.

Marie's invention, though it didn't benefit them financially would earn the Browns a measure of recognition in the technology world： The predecessor（前身）of today’s home security systems, it has been cited in 35 U. S patents.

24. What can we learn about the main character-Marie?

A. She worked as an electronics technician.

B. She lived in an unsafe and dangerous neighborhood.

C. She was accompanied home by her husband every day.

A. It was too dear to be mass-produced.

B. It was regarded as a silly invention.

C. It was thought little of by the then police.

D. It was illegal to be used by common people.

27. What can we say about Marie and her husband?

A. They are devoted and courageous

B. They are generous and responsible.

C. They are helpful but quite awkward.

D. They are intelligent and respectable

When visiting a laboratory or museum and admire an eyeball or a tiny dead creature floating in a glass bottle, you see the preservation power of alcohol. Scientists have been relying on it since the

1600s to preserve their curious specimens（标本）. And, if done correctly, it can sustain a sample for hundreds of years. But, how does it work?

“The long and the short of it is that it's poisonous to certain kinds of microorganisms that would cause decay（腐烂）, ”said professor Bill Carroll or Indiana University Bloomington. He used wine as an example. It’s made as yeast（酵母） eats sugar from grapes and then releases alcohol. But the yeast releases so much alcohol that the concentration becomes poisonous and kills the yeast. And that alcohol content-around 14%-helps delay the growth of microorganisms for years.

“Preserving other organic materials-Such as DNA, tissues or even entire animals-requires a higher alcohol concentration, ” said Katherine Maslenikov, the fish collections manager at the Burke Museum in Seattle. For example, Maslenikov might take a fish specimen. After some initial preparations, she puts the fish specimen in a bottle of 70% alcohol and 30% of water. "For long term storage, 70% alcohol seems to be that magic number, ”Maslenikov said. “ There's enough water to help the specimen hold its shape, and enough alcohol to prevent the growth of microorganisms. ”

Alcohol at even higher concentrations, for instance 95％ ethanol（乙醇）, works as a dehydrant （脱水剂）, meaning it removes and replaces the water in the cell, tissue or whole-body specimen with alcohol. This technique is a common way of preserving DNA.

It can be tricky to decide what percentage of alcohol to use. Using too much or too little can affect the sample's shape and flexibility, or even lower its ability to preserve the sample. High concentrations of alcohol used to dehydrate a specimen will preserve it. But Maslenikov said this process can also cause a specimen to change in size（from the loss of water） and become easily broken （form the hardened proteins）. Sometimes that's OK; it all depends on what you are trying to preserve.

28. Why is alcohol mentioned in the first paragraph?

A. To show the special function of alcohol for storage.

B. To present the achievements that scientists have made.

C. To remind people not to touch the glass bottles in museums.

D. To introduce the exhibits displayed with alcohol in them.

29. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?

A. The common way used to preserve DNA.

B. The process of removing the water in the cell.

C. The role of alcohol with higher concentrations.

D. The aim to develop the technique of preserving DNA.

30. According to the text, to make a fish specimen, what percentage of alcohol and water is needed?

A. 95% ethanol and 30 % water

B. 70% alcohol and 30% water

C. 14% alcohol and 70% water

D. 30% alcohol and 70% water

31. What is the attitude of Maslenikov to using alcohol for preservation?

A. Supportive

B. Cautious

C. opposed

D. Enthusiastic

D

Despite more than a month of efforts to rescue Tenora, a young green sea turtle, pollution-related issues made it difficult to save her. Tenora was finally put to death to reduce her suffering.

Tenora was brought in by RRainbow Reef Dive Center staff and customers on October 3, 2020.

The rescue team was led by PADI（Professional Association of Diving Instructors） Instructor Josh Phillips who had made it his “personalmission" to help Tenora after seeing her with a softball-sized tumor（肿瘤）out on the reefs（暗礁）. He connected with the Turtle Hospital, a nonprofit in the Florida Keys for permission and guidance about how to rescue her. After over a month of searching and failed attempts, Phillips wvas finally able to rescue her on a rainy Saturday. Shelby Ferguson of the Turtle Hospital met the boat at the dock to bring Tenora in for evaluation and care. Ferguson explained that green sea turtles are the species most easily affected by the virus that causes fibropapilloma（FP）tumors like the one Tenora had. Generally, she said, the more polluted the water, the more turtles present with FP tumors.

In Hawaii, nitrogen（氮）runoff from pineapple farms increases the disease incidence in green sea turtles near the islands, explained Bette Zirkelbach, manager at the Turtle Hospital. Scientists there first made the link between poor water quality and increased FP tumors in green sea turtles. The Turtle Hospital is building on this knowledge by leading an in-water scientific study on sea turtle health in the Florida Keys for the next three years, she added.

While external masses can be surgically removed, there is currently no treatment for internal FP tumors in sea turtles, so animals like Tenora are humanely put to death to reduce their suffering, Zirkelbach said.

Phillips reflected on Tenora's loss, saying, “ I think it is terrible to consider that this is mostly caused by humans. ” He urged everyone, “Wake up. Do better. We're all in this together, and if we don't try to change how we live our lives, things aren't going to get any better. This is our chance to do something today for the next generation.

32. How did Phillip react while seeing Tenora for the first time?

A. He almost ignored her condition.

B. He brought her to the Turtle Hospital.

C. He immediately knew she needed help.

D. He decided to start a nonprofit for the species.

33. What does Ferguson's explanation tell us about green sea turtles?

A. They have already become endangered.

B. They are easily threatened by polluted water.

C. It is still unclear how they get FP tumors.

D. It is rare to see they have internal FP tumors.

34. Why does the author mention Phillips' words in the last paragraph?

A. To draw attention to green sea turtles.

B. To describe ways of protecting the earth.

C. To call for action to help the environment.

D. To educate the next generation in responsibility.

35. What would be the best title for the text?

A. A Diver Helps Save a Green Sea Turtle

B. Pollution Worldwide Is Putting Species in Danger

C. Rescue Green Sea Turtle Is Put to Death Due to Tumor

D. Researchers Are Looking for Ways to Rescue Green Sea Turtles

“Ice baths" are routinely used by professional athletes after sports events. Dipping into “icy” water, usually around10°c, for 5 to 10 minutes is claimed to improve muscle recovery and enhance future sports performances. 36

Johana Lanner is an expert in muscle physiology from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden.

37 For this reason, ice baths are commonly used for muscle recovery after sports competitions.

What effect do ice baths have on exercise performance? As ice baths help muscles recover, it may follow that they can better sports performance. 38 HakanWesterblad, an expert in cellular muscle physiology from Sweden , says, “Scientific studies show varying outcomes regarding the effect of post-exercise ice baths on subsequent performance, with results ranging from minor positive effects to negative effects. ”

To measure the effect of ice baths on exercise performance, different types of exercise should be taken into account, such as endurance or strength training. Another expert from Australia thinks that after strength exercise, cold water baths may in fact prevent the benefits of exercise.

39 Christopher, from Mahidol University in Thailand, says , "Interestingly, there is evidence which suggests that cooling the exercised muscle increases the cellular signal, which turns on Mitochondria biogenesis（线粒体生物）. ”Mito-biogenesis is when cells increase their numbers of Mitochondria, which are structures that release energy. Mito-biogenesis is one of the positive effects that come from endurance training. 40

A. Unfortunately it is not that simple.

B. But what is the science behind these claims?

C. So ice baths could help to extend this benefit.

D. Effects on endurance training may be quite different.

E. Soice baths are beneficial to all athletes to relax muscles.

F. He says ice baths are effective at relaxing the painful muscles.

G. Professional athletes usually use ice baths to help muscles recover.

的词数应为150左右。

How exciting! Today is my basketball Grand-final! My team of six enthusiastic boys led by our coach, Jack, has worked extremely hard just to make the finals. My heart was pounding a hundred kilometres an hour as I walked into our home ground. As I hurried to our team bench, our opponents caught my attention. They seemed a lot taller and “meaner” looking.

Whistle blew. Five of us started on the court. Our opponent got hold of the ball first. They were unbelievably fast. They kept breaking our defenses and kept scoring goals. Excited parents were cheering so much that their faces were as red as beetroots. Even our best, Bryce, could not stop our opponents from scoring, which annoyed him a lot. By half time, both teams were extremely exhausted and our opponents were ten goals ahead, which presented us with an enormous but achievable challenge.

Jack was awfully anxious as we were not playing anywhere near our best. He told us that we could still win if we made our transitions much quicker so that penalty shots came our way. He also directed us to rebound（抢断篮板）and position ourselves better to receive and score goals. Most important, he reminded us to play as a team.

Our team was all fired up. The second half started in our favour. We were as quick as lightning on the court. We were dribbling（运球）, passing, shooting and rebounding without any mistakes. We caught our opponents by surprise. The scores were almost level. We were trailing only by one point. The crowd was growing wild with excitement, fueling our confidence. At the same time, our opponents switched back to attention and started playing like what they did in the first half, making it harder for us to score.

One minute left! Our opponent threw in the ball but I managed to steal it! Our team was bursting with happiness! More opponents were heading my way and I had to pass the ball to Bryce. Instead of passing on the ball, he did the most unexpected thing. He tried to score from half court! He missed by miles!

1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；

Then I noticed Jack signaled to the referee for a pause.

Whistle blew again and we came back to the court.
