Multiple Tour Dates in 2020 & 2021

This is the most exciting tour to Egypt ever offered! Led by the world’s most famous archaeologist, Dr. Zahi Hawass, The Royal Tour to Egypt provides unparalleled access to the wonders of Ancient Egypt. Unlike conventional tours，only the Royal Tour offers its participants VIP entry to areas of the ancient sites closed to the general public. Visit the Giza Pyramids and Luxor Temple outside of regular opening hours for a more intimate and crowd-free experience. Have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to stand between the paws of the Great Sphinx (狮身人面像) instead of seeing it from the viewing platform. You will hear secrets never told before and spend time in the esteemed company of Dr. Mostafa Waziri，Egypt’s Head of Antiquities. Former First Lady，Mrs. Jehan Sadat，will host you in the living place of Egypt’s late president Anwar Sadat--an experience normally reserved for royalty and heads of state.

Travel like a Pharaoh (法老) with first-class service from start to finish! Tour dates and moreinformation:

When public health officials started telling Americans that hand washing is one of the mostpowerful weapons against the spread of the coronavirus, Terence Lester wondered, “What about the homeless?” Lester had been homeless himself for a time as a teenager,and today he runs a nonprofit in Atlanta called Love Beyond Walls that helps raise money for and awareness of homeless people. He knows all too well that in the best of times they are lucky to find a public bathroom that will let them in to wash up occasionally,not to mention several times a day.

Lester’s experience of creating temporary shelters with his nonprofit led him to another idea: temporary handwashing stations, the kind you see at outdoor music festivals. He mentioned the idea to his friend Lecrae Moore, a Grammy-winning Christian rapper, who eagerly donated enough money to buy 15 of the $ 150 washing stations. They called their project Love Sinks In. “If leaders in this country are asking people to wash their hands,we also have to provide the tools to people living on the margins of society who are more likely to catch and spread the coronavirus,” Lester says.

After its success in Atlanta, the group sent sinks to Birmingham, Alabama; Oakland, California; Columbus, Ohio; and Austin, Texas, where a partner organization installed the sinks in parks and other public spaces, thanks to a $ 13,000 donation from Google. (In addition to the startup funds, it costs about $ 500 a month to keep each sink stocked with soap and clean water.) One Atlanta hand washer, Sam, left a note on a sink that said, “God bless you! The hand washing the others!”

24.What makes Lester know the homeless well?

 A. His research into the homeless.  B. His personal experience.

 C. The public health warming. D. The nonprofit organization.

25.How did Lester help the homeless during the coronavirus outbreak?

 A. He fixed handwashing stations at musical festivals.

 B. He installed the sink for hand washing in person.

 C. He launched the project Love Sinks In.

 D. He created temporary shelters.

26.What can we infer from the passage?

 A. The homeless are unlikely to develop coronavirus.

 B. The project involves individual and collective efforts.

 C. The homeless have good public health consciousness.

 D. Handwashing is the most effective way to cure coronavirus.

1．                                                                                                       What is Sam’s attitude towards Lester?

 A. Grateful.  B. Negative. C. Concerned  D. Doubtful

C

New molecules (分子) engineered by Weill Cornell Medicine researchers can enable rapid, direct “editing” of genes in a wide range of cell types, creating an series of research and therapeutic possibilities.

The molecules, known as base editors, can attach to a target DNA sequence and chemically alter a single DNA letter. Base editing technology, just two years old, developed from the better known CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology. CRISPR/Cas9 molecules allow scientists to cut almost any piece of DNA in a cell and in this way disable or remove a gene. By contrast, a base editor molecule, using essentially the same DNA-targeting mechanism, chemically modifies a gene rather than cutting it out.

Base editing is better suited for making or correcting single-base “point mutations (基因突变)” in DNA—the cause of many inherited diseases and cancers—and in principle involves less risk of having collateral impact on other normal DNA. However, first-generation base editors operate efficiently in relatively few cell types. Together, the team systematically re-engineered the principal existing set of base editors, known as BE3, BE4Gam and xBE3, to boost their production in cells—low production had been a problem in many cell types. The optimized editors, unlike the first-generation version, work efficiently in a wide variety of cell types and model systems, including mouse and human cell lines, and even liver cells in live mice.

“These new base editors allow us to model and study diseases such as cancer in new ways, but they really have applications all the way across biomedical research,” said senior study author Dr. Lukas Dow, an assistant professor of biochemistry in medicine and a member of the Sandra and Edward Meyer Cancer Center at Weill Cornell Medicine.

The Weill Cornell Medicine scientists now plan to use the new editors for several research applications, including the investigation of mutations associated with cancers to find suitable targets for therapies. “There is a huge list of cancer-linked mutations whose precise roles in cancer are unknown, and now with these optimized tools we can study them affordably and in a feasible time frame,” Dr. Dow said.

The optimized editors are also being studied by researchers working on other applications, including potential therapies for genetic diseases.

27How many types of molecules are mentioned in the first two paragraphs?

 A. 1 B. 2. C. 3 D. 4

28.Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “collateral” in paragraph 3?

 A. positive B. immediate C. connected  D. healing

29According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

 A. Scientists think it’s better to remove a gene than to edit it.

 B. The first-generation base editors fail to work in a few cells.

 C. Base editing technology is of great value only in biomedical research.

 D. It remains unknown why mutations cause cancer.

30.Which is the best title for this passage?

 A. Say Goodbye to Genetic Disease

 B. DNA Editing Just Got Easier

 C. The Birth of a New Technology: Base Editing

 D. Mutations in DNA

D

The newspaper must provide for the reader the facts, pure, unprejudiced, objectively selected facts. But in these days of complex news it must provide more: it must supply interpretation, the meaning of the facts. This is a very important assignment facing American journalists—to make clear to the reader the problems of the day, to make international news understandable as community news, to recognize that there is no longer any such thing as “local” news, because any event in the international area has a local reaction in the financial market, political circles, in terms, indeed, of our very way of life. There is in journalism a widespread view that when you start an interpretation, you are entering dangerous waters, the rushing tides of opinion. This is nonsense.

The opponents of interpretation insist that the writer and the editor shall limit themselves to the “facts”. This insistence raises two questions: What are the facts? Are the bare facts enough?

As for the first question, consider how a so-called “factual” story comes about. The reporter collects, say, fifty facts; out of these fifty, his space being necessarily restricted, he selects the ten which he considers most important. This is Judgment Number One. Then he or his editor decides which of these ten facts shall make up the beginning of the article, which is an important decision because many readers do not proceed beyond the first paragraph. This is Judgment Number Two. Then the night editor determines whether the article shall be presented on page one, where it has a large influence, or on page twenty-four, where it has little. Judgment Number Three.

Thus in the presentation of a so-called “factual” or “objective” story, at least three judgments are involved. And they are judgments not at all unlike those involved in interpretation, in which reporters and editors, calling upon their research resources, their general background, and their “news neutralism”, arrive at a conclusion as to the significance of the news.

The two areas of judgment, presentation of the news and its interpretation, are both objective and subjective processes. If an editor is determined to give a prejudiced view of the news, he can do it in other ways and more effectively than by interpretation. He can do it by the selection of those facts that support his particular viewpoint. Or he can do it by the place he gives a story-promoting it to page one or dragging it to page thirty.

31.According to the first paragraph, which of the following statements is TRUE?

 A．For reporters, interpretation of facts is no less important than presentation of the facts.

 B．Journalists must select facts objectively to make current events clear to the readers.

 C．The most important task of reporters is to provide unprejudiced facts for the readers.

D．                                                         If a reporter makes clear the facts he writes, he will no doubt get into trouble.

32.The beginning of the article should present the most important fact because ________.

 A．it will influence the reader to continue

 B．many readers read only the first paragraph

 C．it details the general attitude of the writer

D．                                                         it’s the best way to write according to the schools of journalism

33.Where a story is presented in a newspaper shows________.

 A．the editor’s prejudice B．the reporter’s background

C．                                                          the story’s factual matter D．the story’s effect on the readers

34.Which of the following can best express the author’s attitude toward objectiveness?

 A．Objectiveness is controlled by editors rather than writers.

 B．Properly choosing facts prepares a solid ground for objectiveness.

 C．He doesn’t think there exists complete objectiveness in news writing.

 D．To make clear the news is a way to be objective and responsible for the readers.

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Is there a link between social media and depression?Do social media have a negative impact on your mental health? It’s complicated.

In a recent study, the investigators compared social media use and depression between teens. 　36 　 Specifically, for every hour per day that one teen spent on social media more than her peers, she likely had a 0.64-point higher depression score.

A different study published in 2018 identified five distinct types of social media users. The finding was that “problematic social media use” was one of the main themes for people whose mental health was affected by social media. You can have alcohol in your life without it being a problem, or your alcohol use may become problematic.  　37 　

There’s one important thing to remember about survey research—just because two things happen together, it’s not necessarily true that one causes the other.  　38 　 For all we know, it could be that people who are already more depressed choose to spend more time on social media.

　39 　If you think that we shouldn’t paint social media with one broad brush, you’re on the right track. On the one hand, participants often described social media as a valuable way to cope with stress. On the other hand, cyberbullying via social media was also a common experience for participants. Some also said that constantly checking their own social media profile was stressful.

It’s certainly possible that experiences like cyberbullying, comparing yourself to idealized images, and constantly monitoring your profile, are bad for your mood. It’s also true for many that social media offer community support and positive messages. Given the inconclusive research, it’s safe to say that at least we shouldn’t write off social media altogether. 　40 　Anyway, you cannot use it as a crutch for coping with other stressors and mental health problems.

 A.It’s the same with social media.

 B.Social media can be a double-edged sword.

 C.People get more opinionated about the potential problems of social media.

 D.They found that those who used social media more had higher depression scores.

 E.They reviewed all existing research and found that there were both benefits and drawbacks.

 F.The key to benefiting from social media may lie in using it in moderation and staying socially connected.

 G.For example, just because higher social media use co-occurs with higher levels of depression doesn’t mean social media use causes depression.

What did she do 63   (deserve) such an honor? Compared with other male poets in China，

64  have left hundreds or even thousands of poems, she has only eighty-seven. However, her artistic creativity in her 65   (survive) works has earned her a permanent place in the Chinese literary circle.

She grew up in a relatively relaxed atmosphere but her maiden(少女) days were so limited that the regret could be felt in her poem：“Can’t you see? The green leaves thriving(旺盛) but the red flowers fading overnight.” The arrival and disappearance of spring is one of the most frequent themes in Chinese poetry.

 Li had two 66   (marry), both of which had a huge impact on her. The first ended up her

67   (abandon) during the war. 68   (bad) still, she suffered physical abuse from her second husband. Bravely she charged him at the court and got the permission to divorce.

In the final stage of her life, even 69 no one to rely on, she never gave up hope and created many literary works that   70   (leave) for generations to appreciate to date.

Have you ever had headache during a test? Have you ever been too concerned about something that you even can’t sleep at night? If so, then you know that stress is. Too much stress can result in angry, depression and other related problems, which we need to take them seriously.

However, not all stress was harmful to you. Some kinds of stress can help you getting things done better, like when you are running towards the finishing line or when you are asked to deliver a speech to your class. Stress sometimes can push you to make full preparation for a test.

The best approach of reducing stress is to have a balanced life. If you get enough sleep, eat proper, take more exercise and have enough fun time, you may feel less stressed.
