Ekua Holmes and Elam Walker are cousins who grew up together in Roxbury, Mass. They based their first book named Dream Street on their childhood living place—a beautiful place full of parks and gardens, full of different kinds of houses, old and new, full of different persons, old and young.

“We grew up together, played a lot together and created a lot together,” says Elam Walker. She was a lawyer but gave up her job to write. They knew they wanted to work on a book together, but they didn’t quite know where to begin. So Holmes began sending her cousin images of collages (拼贴画) with their experiences of daily life.

In them Elam Walker found some poems in a book and a piece of wallpaper in their home from the 1950s...cloth and lace (饰带) used before and things like that. Elam Walker love all the things that have been used before because they already had a life, and they already had a story.

Elam Walker pieced together the story, filling Dream Street with characters from their childhood. They named the librarian after Elam Walker’s mother, Ms. Barbara, who loved books, especially children’s books and thought children’s books could solve the problems of the world. They were also inspired by everyone in the neighborhood; from their teachers, to their cousins, to church ladies. “I was always crazy about them, in their beautiful hats and flowers. And even people at the bus stop,” says Holmes. “Those are the moments that we may walk by every day but not realize how precious they are.”

They write together and dream that someday they’ll create the book about their child-hood. “I just love,” says Elam Walker, “that our story is written in the story and it’s the story of our dream.”

24、What did Elam Walker do before she decided to write?

A. A lawyer. B. A teacher. C. A farmer. D. A writer.

25、What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A. The things that they used before.

B. Their experiences of daily life.

C. Some kinds of poems in a book.

D. The images of collages.

26、Why did the author mention the name Ms. Barbara?

A. To make comparisons. B. To introduce the topic.

C. To provide an example. D. To support an argument.

27、What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. The True Friendship of Two Cousins

B. The Experiences of Two Cousins’ Childhood

C. Designing a Book’s Characters from the Childhood

D. Writing a Book Based on the Childhood Hometown

Habitat loss, pesticides (农药) and climate change are threatening insect populations worldwide. In 2019, Biological Conservation reported that 40% of all insects species are declining (减少) globally and that a third of them are endangered.

And while it may sound nice to live in a world with fewer bad insects, environmental writer Oliver Milman says that human beings would be in big trouble without insects. That’s because insects play important roles in pollinating (给……授粉) plants we eat, breaking down waste in forest soil and forming the base of a food chain that other larger animals — including humans — rely upon.

“It would be an extremely terrible place to live in — and certainly not something we should ever aim for.” Milman says of an insect-free existence. “You would certainly have mass starvation and social unrest... It’d be a place where there would be smelly waste and dead bodies everywhere because insects that break down those materials would be gone.”

Milman charts the troubling decline of insects in his new book, The Insect Crisis: The Fall of the Tiny Empires That Run the World. He says that while it’s impossible to know exactly what’s happening with every insect species in the world, the overall trends are not good: The butterfly population in North America has declined quickly in the past 40 years, for example, and a U. N. assessment done in 2019 found that half a million insect species are under threat of extinction, some in the coming decades.

“The world, our surroundings, would be far quieter, far duller without insects.” he says. “When you start kind of digging down into these figures looking at the research, it’s clear that there’s something seriously wrong... There is a straight decline in most insect populations, and that spells major trouble for them but also for us.”

28、What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about insects?

A. Their classification. B. Their importance.

C. Their food chain.  D. Their population.

29、What can be inferred about Milman’s new book?

A. It describes the worrying decline of insects.

B. It tells what’s happening with all insect species.

C. It shows half a million butterfly species will be in danger of extinction.

D. It explains why the number of butterflies in South America has increased.

30、What is the author’s attitude to the decline of insect population?

A. Positive. B. Unconcerned. C. Worried. D. Doubtful.

31、What is the text mainly about?

A. The introduction of the endangered insects.

B. The effects of the declining insects’ population.

C. The ways of increasing insects’ population.

D. The reasons of threatening insects’ population.

    A study on astronauts found that a short sleep during the day up to two and a half hours long improved working memory performance. Working memory includes focusing attention on one task while holding other tasks in memory, so a poor working memory could result in errors.

    Taking a short sleep may make you think more clearly for the period right after you wake up and maybe hours into the day. Taking a short sleep once or twice a week could lower the risk of heart attacks according to a 2019 study published in the journal Heart. After tracking more than 3,400 people between the ages of 35 and 75 for slightly more than five years, the researchers found that those who enjoyed occasional short sleep—once or twice a week, for five minutes to an hour—were 48% less likely than those who didn't take a short sleep to experience a heart attack or heart failure.

    A lack of quality sleep could lead to overeating because not enough sleep is believed to stimulate hunger and stop hormone (荷尔蒙) signals that communicate fullness. The findings were important because women were at high risk of fatness and sleep disorders the researchers said, which could both be driven by a high intake of food. Taking a short sleep has been found to improve your creativity. The right side of your brain might experience a strong mental feeling during a short sleep, research suggested. The right side is the hemisphere(半球体) most associated with creative tasks, such as imagination and thinking, while the left is more logical. Researchers monitoring the brain activity of 15 people found that the right side of their brain communicated busily with itself as well as with its left part. The left side of the brain, however, remained relatively quiet. In a January 2020 study of 2,214 Chinese adults aged 60 and older, those who took afternoon sleep for five minutes to two hours showed better mental response than those who didn’t take a short sleep.

32、What do we know about the study on astronauts?

A. Taking a short sleep surely results in errors.

B. Improving working memory ability needs a long sleep.

C. Sleeping up to one and a half hour is needed during the day.

D. Having a good working memory may complete the task better.

33、What can we infer about taking a short sleep from paragraph 2?

A. It may make you think clearly all day.

B. It could reduce the risk of heart attacks.

C. It made 48% of people free from a heart attack.

D. It may cause over 3,400 persons to suffer from heart attack.

34、What does the underlined word “stimulate” in paragraph 3 mean?

A. Refer to. B. Focus on. C. Give up. D. Result in.

35、In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?

A. Sports. B. Education. C. Health. D. Technology.

三、七选五

He says that while it's impossible to know exactly what's happening with every insect species in the world, the overall trends are not good(米尔曼在他的新书《昆虫危机：统治世界的小帝国的衰落》中描绘了昆虫令人不安的衰落。 他说，虽然不可能确切地知道世界上每一种昆虫都发生了什么，但总体趋势并不乐观 )”可知，米尔曼的这本新书中主要描述了令人担忧的昆虫数量的下降情况。故选A项。

30、答案：C

解析：推理判断题。分析全文内容可知，第二段介绍了昆虫的重要性，第四段通过介绍米尔曼的新书描绘了昆虫令人不安的衰落，再根据文章最后一段“There is a straight decline in most insect populations, and that spells major trouble for them but also for us(大多数昆虫的数量都在直线下降，这不仅给它们带来了大麻烦，也给我们带来了大麻烦 )”可知，作者对昆虫下降的态度是担忧的。故选C项。

31、答案：B

解析：主旨大意题。分析全文内容，并根据最后一段“There is a straight decline in most insect populations, and that spells major trouble for them but also for us(大多数昆虫的数量都在直线下降，这不仅给它们带来了大麻烦，也给我们带来了大麻烦 )”可推知，本文介绍了世界范围的昆虫数量因栖息地丧失、杀虫剂以及气候变化而出现下降，甚至灭绝，这会使人类带来极大的负面影响。所以B选项“昆虫数量下降的影响”符合题意。故选B项。

32、答案：D

解析：推理判断题。根据第一段A study on astronauts found that a short sleep during the day up to two and a half hours long improved working memory performance. Working memory includes focusing attention on one task while holding other tasks in memory, so a poor working memory could result in errors.(一项针对宇航员的研究发现,白天长达两个半小时的短睡眠可以改善工作记忆表现。工作记忆包括将注意力集中在一项任务上,同时对其他任务保持记忆,所以糟糕的工作记忆可能会导致错误。)可知,糟糕的工作记忆可能会导致错误,即良好的工作记忆可以让人更好地完成任务。故选D。

33、答案：B

解析：推理判断题。根据第二段Taking a short sleep once or twice a week could lower the risk of heart attacks, according to a 2019 study published in the journal Heart.(2019年发表在《心脏》杂志上的一项研究表明,每周睡一两次的短时间睡眠可以降低心脏病发作的风险。)可知,短时间睡眠可以降低心脏病发作的风险。故选B。

34、答案：D

解析：词义猜测题。根据第三段A lack of quality sleep could lead to overeating because not enough sleep is believed to stimulate hunger and stop hormone (荷尔蒙) signals that communicate fullness.(缺乏高质量的睡眠可能导致暴饮暴食,因为睡眠不足被认为会饥饿和停止传达饱满的信号荷尔蒙。)可知,缺乏睡眠会让人吃得过多,吃得多肯定是因为产生了饥饿感。所以文中划线词stimulate与result in意思相近,是“导致、产生”的意思。A.Refer to提及,指的是;B.Focus on聚焦;C.Give up放弃;D.Result in导致。故选D。

35、答案：C

解析：文章出处题。本文的主要内容是说白天短时间的睡眠可以改善我们的工作记忆表现、降低心脏病发作的风险、提高创造性,并且可以使我们的精神状态更好,这些都是和健康密切相关的话题。所以文章可能会出现在报纸的"Health"板块。A.Sports体育;B.Education教育;C.Health健康;D.Technology技术。故选C。

解析：1.考查非谓语动词。句意：我计划在周末做很多事情，所以我在星期六早上完成了我的家庭作业。plan to do sth“计划做某事”是固定用法，动词不定式作宾语。故在planned后加to。

2.考查连词。句意：我计划在周末做很多事情，所以我在星期六早上完成了我的家庭作业。后文I finished my homework on Saturday morning和前文之间是因果关系，不是转折关系。故将but改为so。

3.考查名词。句意：星期六下午，我和妈妈一起做了一些家务。housework是不可数名词，没有复数形式。故将houseworks改为housework。

4.考查时态。句意：星期天早上，我和我的父母去看望我的祖父母，然后我们一起去了公园。根据上下文及时间状语可知，此处描述过去发生的事情，用一般过去时，谓语动词用过去式。故将visit改为visited。

5.考查much和many的区别。句意：那有一个风筝表演，我们看到了许多漂亮的风筝。many修饰名词复数，much修饰不可数名词。后文kites是可数名词复数，应用many修饰。故将much改为many。
