Rioghna and Hannah Pittock spent the first few minutes feeling sorry for themselves. Rioghna,a junior at Rochester Mayo High School, had spring sports to play. Hannah,a senior at University of Chicago , was going to have a spring break in Aruba. However , both were canceled because of COVID-19. But they soon recovered and now they are sitting at home , solving Rochester’s problems in their way. Pointing to the computer screen, Hannah tells her sister,“She is a nurse and her child needs to be matched.”
The two sisters birthed their plan last Saturday on the drive home from picking up Hannah in Chicago. As more medical workers were sent to work, fighting against the fierce pandemic (流行病), the sisters knew many of their families would need childcare. At the same time, teens throughout Rochester were off school. So on Sunday, Hannah and Rioghna launched Step Up To Sit. Already they’re paired more than 40 families with sitters.
“The young people in the community are stepping up to do their part,” Hannah says, “We are delighted that we’ re having an impact on people’s lives in this hard time.”For the last four days,160 teens have registered to help, most wiling to work free. if paired with a family in need. With more and more teens joining in, the two sisters decide to launch Step Up To Shop,a platform for teens to deliver groceries to seniors.
Rioghna acknowledges people of her age get a bad reputation as smartphone-addicted and selfish. The Pittock sisters are proving otherwise,“Amid the pandemic，people should be allowed to be upset and allowed to be a little bit down about the upset in their lives, but it’s about something bigger and recognizing we all have our part to play here,”Rioghna says.
4.Why did the two sisters feel sorry for themselves?
A. They would join in activities separately.
B. They had to give up their planned activities.
C. They were infected with COVID-19 seriously.
D. Their parents were sent to battle COVID-19.

D. instruct teens to study online at home
6.Which of the following best describes the two sisters?

The low percentage of women in science ，technology，engineering，and mathematics(STEM) careers is often attributed (归因于) to men being believed to be better at the sort of thinking those fields require. Though studies have debunked the view,they have largely been based on results acquired from various several standardized tests. Now, researchers from Pennsylvania’ S Carnegie Mellon University have found evidence that is hard to overlook; MRI (磁共振成像) proves that young girls and boys use the same mechanisms and networks in the brain to solve math problems.
The groundbreaking study to evaluate the biological gender differences in the math talent of young children was led by the university’ s professor of neuroscience, Jessica Cantlon. For their study ,the team selected 104 young children, between 3 and 10 years old, divided almost equally by gender. The scientists used a functional MRI to observe their brain activity as they engaged in math tasks. These included watching age appropriate educational videos and doing math exercises such as counting and addition,as well as reading for comparison.
“We looked at which areas of the brain respond more strongly to mathematics content in the videos and tasks, compared to non math content like reading or the alphabet, Cantlon said.“When we do that in lite girls, we see a particular network of the brain respond,and when we do that same analysis in boys, we see the exact same regions.”
So why do girls and young women tend to avoid math and STEM careers in general? Cantlon thinks it may be rooted in social and cultural conventions. Previous studies have indicated that parents tend to spend more time with young boys in play that inspire spatial cognition (空间认知)-such as toys that involve learning number skills and shapes and solving puzzles. Educators were also observed to spend more time with boys during math class.
8.What does the underlined word“debunked” in paragraph 1 mean? A.Disproved. B. Supported. C. Confirmed. D. Overlooked.
9.What does paragraph 2 mainly focus on?
A. The purpose of the research.
B. The process of the research.
C. The participants of the research.
D. The findings of the research.
10.What contributes to the lack of women in STEM careers?
A. Mental capacity. B. Gender difference.
C. Traditional prejudice. D. Family background.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. MRI- A Great Helper in Research
B. Toys- Boosters for STEM Potential
C. Boys and Girls: Equally Talented in Math
D. STEM Careers: Calling for More w omen

Algorithms (算法) affect nearly every part of a person’s experience on the Internet. Search engines are most people’ s entry to the Internet.If a person wants to find information about something, they usually start with a search bar.As soon as they stat typing or choosing links,the algorithm starts gathering data about every choice users make and uses that data to try to find the websites or information that most directly relate to what the user is looking for.
The problem with algorithm is that they can limit the kinds of information people see,says MacMillan,a reading researcher with Project Information Literacy (能力). He argues this can be harmful to people’s critical thinking and lead them to believe that only one point of view is correct.
Companies also pay to post advertisements for products that could relate to users’ search data. For example,if you search for places to take a vacation,you will likely start to see ads for travel companies, flights or hotels.
Renee Hobbs, director of the Media Education Lab at the University of Rhode Island, however, argues that algorithms are not all bad. She says search engine algorithms can help you find what might be the most useful information faster. But she says it is in the interests of Internet companies to keep users on the Internet for as long as possible so they see more ads.
The current generation of young people grow up using the Internet and they are prone(易于遭受) to distrustful information.That is why schools must train students how to use the Internet more wisely in their Studies.It is the duty of education to keep students informed about the world around them. Yet it is not the duty of education alone. And lawmakers should consider increasing data protection rules. Individuals can also use a wide variety of websites to avoid algorithmic controls.
12. How do algorithms affect users’ Internet experience?
A. They lead to slower Internet connection.
B. They block ads for users automatically.
C. They always help users get reliable links.
D. They determine the content users receive.
13. What is Hobbs’ attitude to algorithms?
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Objective. D. Indifferent.
14.What can be concluded from the last paragraph?
A. Young people fall victim to the Internet.
B. Data protection rules are already enough.
C. Education is fully responsible for algorithmic controls.
D. Joint efforts are needed to handle algorithmic controls.
15. Which column of a magazine is the text most likely from?
A. Science. B. Entertainment. C. Advertisement. D. Fashion.

running for half an hour burns about twice the calories as a half-hour of walking. But if the walker covers the same distance,just over a longer period of time ,he/she will burn the same calories.
What about other health benefits? Running and walking are both excellent for heart health. When you run. your heart works harder than when you walk. 18 If runners and walkers burn the same number of calories every day，both groups have a lower risk of heart disease than inactive people.
19 For instance, running or walking at least 30 minutes a day may help lessen mild bone loss. And contrary to what you may think,runners don’t suffer from arthritis(关节炎) more than non-runners.In fact,their risk for arthritis is about 15% lower than for those who don’t exercise at all.
You don’t have to feel torn between running and walking. 20
A.Most people will say “yes” to this question.
B. Both types of exercise are also good for bone health.
C.It doesn’t matter if you run or walk as long as you keep moving.
D. Let’s first take a look at the health benefits of running and walking.
E. But that doesn’t actually mean that runners have better heart health than walkers.
F. One large study found runners might have a lower chance of getting heart disease.
G. The main difference between walking and running is that running burns calories faster.

No Time
With a broad smile on her lips, 15-year old Sirin rushed to her mom to show off her new painting. But mom raised her eyebrows with eyes wide open，and spoke in an impatient tone,“No time, baby. Right now I am busy with an important talk. Just wait for some time,OK?”
Holding her oil painting ,she frowned (皱眉) ,and then searched for her dad.
“Dad,see what I have done,” Sirin announced aloud in a thrilling voice. Her dad turned around while adjusting his tie,grinned at her ,and showed his thumbs up!
Immediately，blowing her two cheeks, Sirin replied angrily,“Dad, you haven’t seen it yet.”
He smiled at her saying,“No time, baby.I will see it later.”He just patted her back lovingly，kissed her forehead,and rushed for his office.
She was not a kid to be pleased with simple gesture or smile. She stood there for a few seconds,and then stormed off to her own bedroom. Hot air was blowing from her nostrils(鼻孔); her face turned into apple red. She threw the painting on the table,slammed (把…砰地关上) the door and threw herself on her bed.
“Why is everybody so busy?”She recalled thousands of incidents that hurt her in pre-school, middle school and even in high school too！She assumed at least her own family members would give some values to her thoughts, but they were no exception. Unconsciously,her eyes were filled with tears.
The knocking sound on the door put a sudden brake to her thought. Her mom was calling her for dinner. Sirin deliberately came late to join them. She kept silent and didn’t look at anyone ,scratching the table mat with her nail, Her mom was puzzled at the unusual behavior. Suddenly , the morning incident clicked in her mind, Softly，she asked,“Honey, did I do anything wrong?”

第二节
One possible version :
Al this very moment ,Sirin could no longer resist her anger. “Why is everybody so busy?”she roared , tears streaming down. She assumed that her mom and dad would feel proud of her great talent , would appreciate her painting but.后She was disgusted with everybody having“no time”for her. “I hate you !”She screamed，grabbed the painting on the table and tore it in half. Shocked , mom threw her arms around her tightly, announcing regretfully and firmly,”Baby,I am so sorry! I promise this mistake will not be repeated. ”
When back from school the next day ,Sirin was surprised to see her beautifully-decorated paining on the wall.It was beautifully framed and just below the painting,it was written“We are so proud of you,our little angle!” On seeing it, she burst out crying. She ran to her mom and hugged her tightly as well, fully aware of her mom’ s love. Recalling her mom’s stress from work and daily life, she was regretting her previous behavior. She ducked her head, apologizing,“Sorry, mom!”It dawned on them that though everything came and went , mutual understanding would stay forever in their family.
