When Central Bucks South became one of the first Philadelphia-area high schools to close due to fear of novel coronavirus exposure in early March, 16-year-old sophomore(高二学生) Andrew Chen-knew that things were not going to return to normal as quickly as some of his peers hoped.
But still, the change from seeing his friends on the swim team during daily practices to learning alone at home was iarring. "I only have three years here at South, and it pains me to see one of them being wasted," Chen said.
The coronavirus has upended everyone's lives, but for students, the disturbance feels particularly acute. Schools closed and graduation ceremonies were canceled. Summer plans, like camps and internships (实习), are up in the air.
But right now, many students are trying to stay connected, struggling with misinformation, and figuring out the best ways they can help through online method.
For Josh Harycki, 17, a senior student at the Ship-le y School in Philadelphia, the best way to contribute was to create a "social distancing pledge(承诺)" for young people.
"I saw a lot of younger generations not paying attention," he said."They were still going out, hanging out with people. 1 thought that there had to be a way to reach younger folks, who were probably not watching the news."
Harycki launched a call to action on social media and then built a website with a map that tracked the locations of people who'd signed the pledge. The site also shares links to accurate sources of information like the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Harycki knows that his peers are worried they can't connect with their friends in the same way, so he created the social. distancing pledge to stress that while everyone might be physically distant, they're still connected.
"Part of what we're highlighting is that you might feel like you're the only one taking this seriously, but our map shows that you're not alone," he said.
24. What does the underlined word "jarring" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. natural B, disturbing C. necessary D. reasonable
25. Why does the author describe Andrew Chen's experience in the text?
A. To show how the coronavirus affected students' lives.
B. To explain what worried students most when schools closed.
C. To show the proper reaction to the closure of school.
D. To present the different views of students toward the coronavirus.
26. Who does Harycki mainly want to reach out to?
A. Friends who are worried and bored.
B. Folks taking the coronavirus seriously.
C. Younger generations trying to contribute.
D. Young people who are not aware of the situation.
27. What's Harycki's purpose in creating the "social distancing pledge"?
A. To convince young people to stay at home.
B. To track those people infected with the coronavirus.
C. To inform young folks of latest news about the coronavirus.
D. To show young people they shouldn't be concerned about the coronavirus.

Sam is a fourth-year . student at Harvard Medical School, but poetry is still a big part of his life, now with a new teacher, Rafael Campo, who believes poetry can benefit every doctor's education and work.Rafacl is a physicianí, professor and a highly respected poet.
“Poetry is in every encounter (邂逅) with my patients. I think healing is really in a very great way about poetry. And if we do anything when we're with our patients, we're really immersing(使沉浸于)ourselves in their stories, really hearing their voices. And, certainly, that's what a poem does,” he said.
Rafael worries that something important has been lost in medicine and·medical education today:humanity, which he finds in poetry. To end that, he leads a weekly reading and writing workshop for medical students and residents (住院医生).
He thinks medical training focuses too much on distancing the doctor from his or her patients,
and poems can help close that gap.
Third-year resident Andrea Schwartz was one of the workshop regulars: She said,“I think there's no other profession other than medicine that produces as many writers as it does. And I think that is because there's just so much power in doctors and patients interacting(互动) when patients are at their saddest.”Not everyone believes that's what doctors should do, though,
Rafael said,“I was afraid of how people might judge me, actually. In the medical profession, as many people know, we must always put the emergency first. But, you know, that kind of treatment, if it's happening in the hospital, very regrettably, sadly, results in a bad outcome. The family is sitting by the bedside. The patient hasn't survived the cancer. Don't we still have a role as healers there?”
In a poem titled “Health”, Rafael writes of the wish to live forever in a world made painless by our incurable joy. He says he will continue teaching students, helping patients and writing poems, his own brand of medicine.
28. What do we know about Rafael Campo?
A. He works as a doctor. B. He is under medical care.
C. He is a literature professor. D. He knows little about poetry.
29. What does the author try to show in Paragraph 2?
A. The importance of medical training↵
B. T. he effect of po etry in medical treatment.
C, The similarity involved in poetry and medical work.
D. The present relationship between patients and doctors.
30. What does Andrea Schwartz think of poetry?
A. It comforts patients' family.
B. It contributes to medical work.
C. It has nothing to do with doctors.
D. It keeps doctors away from patients.
31. What is Rafael Campo's view on poetry?
A. It requires a lot of spare time.
B. It provides a useless tool for doctors.
C. It has little effect on patients' conditions.
D. It should be included in emergency treatments
(D)
A new device works like a solar panel, except that it doesn't harvest energy from the sun. It absorbs energy from the cold night sky.
A prototype(原型) of the device produced enough electricity at night to power a small light bulb. A bigger version might one day light rooms or charge phones. It also could power electronics in remote or low-resource areas that lack electricity.
The device makes use of the temperature difference between Earth and outer space. It then uses that difference to create electricity. As long as one side of it is cooler than the other, the generator(发电机) can produce electricity. The cooler side faces the sky and is attached to an aluminum plate. That p late is sealed beneath a transparent cover and surrounded with insulation(隔热材料) to keep out heat. The bottom of the generator is attached to an exposed aluminum(铝) plate. That p late is warmed by the local air. At night, the top plate can get a couple of degrees Celsius cooler than the bottom of the generator.
Researchers tested a 20-centimeter prototype one clear December night in Stanford, California. The generator produced up to about 25 milliwatt s of power per square meter of device. That was enough power to light. a small light-emitting diode, or LED bulb. Further improvements might increase its production to at least 500 milliwatt s per square meter. To do that, the system might need more insulation around the cool top plate.
The device also could help power remote weather stations or other environmental devices, says Aaswath Raman. He is a materials scientist who worked on the device at the University of California, Los Angeles. This may be useful in polar regions that don't see sunlight for months at a time, Raman says.“If you have some low-power load and you need to power it through three months of darkness, this might be a way.”
32. What can we know about the new device?
A. It gains energy from the sun. B. It's been widely used in life.
C. It is cooler than a solar panel. D. It'll be popular in special areas.
33. What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 3?
A. Application fields of the device.
B. The developing process of the device.
C. The working principle of the device.
D. Significant effects of the device.
34. How can the device produce more electricity?
A. By putting more insulation around the top plate.
B. By using it in extremely cold and clear nights.
C. By attaching the bottom p late to a warm plate.
D. By covering the top plate with a transparent lid.
35. What could be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Device Using the Cold Night Sky to Produce Electricity
B. ADevice Bringing New Hope for Those in the Cold Night
C. The Difference Between a Solar Panel and a New Device
D. The Temperature Difference Between Earth and Outer Space

Christmas Day was coming. I was just a kid then, and my big sister told me there was no Santa Claus. I fled to my grandma because she would be straight with me. I knew Grandma always told me the truth. Grandma was home, and I told her everything. She was ready for me. “No Santa Claus!” She shouted.“ Ridiculous!” Don't believe it . That rumor(谣传) has been going around for years, and it makes me mad. Now, put on your coat, and let's go.”
“Go where, Grandma ?”I asked.“ Where”turned out to be Kerby's General Store, the one store in town that had a little bit of just about everything. As we walked through its doors, Grandma handed me ten dollars.“Take this money, ”she said,“ and buy something for someone who needs it. I'll wait for you in the car.”Then she turned and walked out of Kerby's.
I was only eight years old. I'd often gone shopping with my mother, but never had I shopped for anything all by myself. The store seemed big and crowded, full of people competing to finish their Christmas shopping. For a few moments I just stood there, confused, holding that ten——dollar bill, wondering what to buy and who to buy it for.I suddenly thought of Bobby Decker, who was a kid with bad breath and messy hair. He sat right behind me in Mrs Pollock's Grade-Two class. Bobby Decker didn't have a coat. I knew that because he never went out for recess(课间.休息) during the winter. His mother always wrote a note, telling the teacher that he had a cough, but we kids knew that Bobby Decker didn't have a cough, and he didn't have a coat. I would buy Bobby Decker a coat! I settled on a red one, which looked really warm, and he would like that.
“Is this a Christmas present for someone ?” The lady behind the counter asked kindly, as
I laid my ten dollars down.“Yes”The nice lady smiled at me, put the coat in a bag and wished me a Merry Christmas.

1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。

参考范文：
Paragraph 1 : That evening, Grandma helped me wrap the coat in Christmas paper.She wrote“To Bobby, From Santa Claus”on it, after which she drove me over to Bobby Decker's house, explaining I was officially one of the Santa's helpers.Grandma parked down the street from Bobby's house, and I took a deep breath, and dashed for his front door. Seeing no other people notice us, I put the Christmas present down, rang his doorbell and then Grandma and I hid in the car.
Paragraph 2 : Grandma and I waited breathlessly for Bobby Decker's front door to open and finally it opened. Out went Bobby Decker. Seeing the coat in the bag, he looked very astonished and then called his mother to go out. After hearing them say “Thanks”to Santa Claus, I felt very proud of what I had done. At that time I decided to be Santa's helper forever. It was on that night that I realized the truth that he who has no Christmas in his heart will never find Christmas under a tree。
