Sunscreen protects our skin from sunburn. But did you know that it is harmful to coral living in the ocean？
Some chemicals in sunscreen, such as benzophenone, can kill coral. Every year, about 4,000 to 6,000 tons of sunscreen will flow into coral areas, according to the US National Park Service.
About one and half years ago, Zhang Baoxin, 17, who studies at Guangdong Experimental High School, read about this in an article. Then she had an idea – to make an environmentally friendly sunscreen to protect the marine environment.
To make this happen, Zhang read lots of literature and then put forward a new formula. She mixed natural plant oils with safe and commonly-used sunscreen ingredients, such as titanium dioxide and zinc oxide powder .
She tested about 10 kinds of plant oils, including jojoba oil and coconut oil, to figure out whether they can take in sunlight. She then used a microscope to find out if the oil could be mixed with the powder. After trying about 20 formulas, Zhang found a jojoba oil formula that is effective, cheap and easy to make.
Zhang wrote a paper to explain her findings with her experimental process and data. The project made Zhang a nominee (候选人) of the Stockholm Junior Water Prize, an award to celebrate teenagers who help solve major water challenges. She was the only nominee from the Chinese mainland in 2020.
After this successful experiment, Zhang made some samples and printed out flyers (传单) for her new formula. She gave them out to people at swimming pools and water parks. “With my formula, anyone can make sunscreen at home. You just need a blender to mix the oil and the powder,” she said.
Zhang wants to study environmental science in college. “I want to use my knowledge to make a better world,” she said.
- What inspired Zhang to make a new kind of sunscreen?
A. Her desire to protect sea species.
B. Her wish to study environmental science.
C. A book published by the US National Park Service.
D. A project at Guangdong Experimental High School.
22. What happened after Zhang’s successful experiment?
A. She handed out her samples to people.
B. She was accepted into a famous university.
C. She won the Stockholm Junior Water Prize.
D. She continued to make other environmentally friendly products.
23. Which of the following best describes Zhang Baoxin?
A. Curious and cheerful. B. Helpful and sociable.
C. Diligent and cautious. D. Creative and responsible.
B
As the coronavirus pandemic wears on, one thing is clear: Many of us are turning to pets to help us deal with this challenging time in history.
In fact, as people remain stuck at home, the demand for adopting or fostering pets, particularly dogs, has risen worldwide, from Canada to India. Between March and September 2020, the number of foster pets in U.S. homes increased by 8 percent, according to PetPoint, which collects industry data on pet adoption.
While the health benefits of having a pet are well known – from lowering blood pressure to reducing stress – the relationship is complex, and how pet owners and their pets are coping during lengthy lockdowns is an open question.
To find out, researchers in Spain, Israel, and the United Kingdom conducted online surveys of pet owners in their countries. Their studies, published in three separate scientific journals, found that overall our animal friends have provided additional comfort.
But the research also revealed some concerning developments: Pandemic restrictions are making pet owners concerned for their pets’ well-being. Not only that, but some pets are exhibiting signs of stress, such as increased barking, fear of loud or sudden noises, and anxiety when at home alone.
In April 2020, Jon Bowen, a behavior consultant at the Royal Veterinary College in London, asked 1,297 dog and cat owners in Spain questions about their feelings toward their pets and their animals’ recent behavior. Most owners said their pets had provided “substantial support” during the pandemic, yet 62 percent of respondents said they thought their pets’ quality of life had decreased. About 41 percent also reported observing behavioral changes in their animals during the pandemic, particularly dogs that had experienced behavioral problems in the past.
Plenty of research shows that dogs have emotions and can absorb what their owners are feeling – particularly if an owner is emotionally dependent on them, says Bowen, whose study appeared in the Journal of Veterinary Behavior in May 2020.
24. What’s the purpose of the research?
A. To find out the number of foster pets during the pandemic.
B. To show the benefit of adopting pets during the lockdowns.
C. To figure out how pets and their owners manage the lockdowns.
D. To find out the disadvantage of lockdowns on pets and their owners.
25. How did the researchers come to the conclusion?
A. By analyzing the previous data.
B. By writing separate scientific reports.
C. By doing Internet surveys in separate countries.
D. By comparing the present experiment with past ones.
26. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Dogs are emotionally dependent on their owners.
B. Long lockdowns have some negative effects on pets.
C. Most pets led a life of poor quality during the lockdowns.
D. Pet owners got on well with their pet during the pandemic.
27. Where can we most probably read this passage?
A. In a textbook B. In an encyclopedia C. In a magazine D. In a science fiction
C
Facial recognition cameras are everywhere, including in your smartphone. Many people rely on this technology to unlock their phones, open doors or make quick payments, but there is a problem: Everyone is wearing a mask. What a hassle!
Now, tech companies have updated their software. Facial recognition technology can now identify people even if they are wearing a mask.
Beijing-based tech company Hanwang has announced a software which can correctly recognize 95 percent of people wearing masks, Engineering & Technology (E&T) reported. What’s the secret? It’s all about your eyes.
Marios Savvides, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University, US, studies facial recognition technology. As we get older, he said, our faces change shape, but not the area around our eyes. It stays the same – even if we put on weight.
Another company, Geneva-based Tech5, has also been working on this kind of software. Tech5 has AI that measures the shape of your face. It also scans your iris (the colored part of your eyes). Tech5 hopes to ignore all of the face below the nose.
Facial recognition software is about more than just unlocking your phone. It’s about public safety. For example, you don’t need to present an ID card, which can be lost or stolen. It also means that germs aren’t spread by touching things, said NEC’s Shinya Takeshima. “Touchless verification (验证) has become extremely important due to … the coronavirus,” he said to Reuters. “[We] hope to contribute to safety and peace of mind.”
More than that, facial recognition can be used to fight crime. “It can detect crime suspects, terrorists,” said Huang Lei, Hanwang’s vice president. Hanwang’s technology is used by police in high-security settings, Reuters reported. This means places like government buildings, subway stations and airports. Similar technology is used by the United States Air Force and other governments.
- What does the underlined word “hassle” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. A substance. B. A device. C. A barrier. D. A bother.
- The facial recognition software that can identify people with masks mainly depend on ______.
A. the forehead. B. the eye region.
C. the shape of faces D. the facial expressions.
30. What do the last two paragraphs mainly talk about?
A. The future of facial recognition technology.
B. The benefits of facial recognition technology.
C. Different types of facial recognition software.
D. The problems with current facial recognition technology.

For many tourists, London is a busy city full of museums and interesting things to see. But for the people who live in London, there are many different “London”. 31 For others, it’s an area of poor housing and rundown shops.
In most places, the different areas are far apart. 32 Canary Wharf is a large business development in the London Docklands which contains Britain’s three tallest buildings.
From 1802 to 1980, the area was one of the busiest ports in the world. 33 Canary Wharf itself takes its name from the sea trade with the Canary Islands, which are part of Spain.
During WWII, the ports area was bombed and nearly all the original warehouses(仓库) were destroyed. And after the 1950s, the port industry began to decline. Thousands lost their jobs, and the ports area lay in ruins. 34 And soon, it became a busy business and shopping area, with more than 500,000 shoppers going there every week.
35 Many of the people who live there are immigrant families from Somalia or Bangladesh. A charity worker said, “No matter how long you sit in a restaurant or bar in Canary Wharf, you will never see anybody from the Bengali community. These are two worlds that occupy the same space, but never actually intersect(交叉).”
A. Thousands of people lost their home.
B. However, a project to develop the area began in 1981.
C. And at one point more than 50,000 people worked there.
D.London has many poor communities where many immigrant families live.
E. But in one place the two worlds exist side by side: Canary Wharf, in east London.
F. For some, London is a big, rich party city, with expensive restaurants and exclusive clubs.
G. However, right beside the ultra-modern Canary Wharf development area, you can find some of the poorest parts of London.

As a teenager, I hated sports and physical education classes. I was always making up 36 to get out of them.
However, when I started university, I decided to 37 kung fu. To my 38 , I loved it! It was a friendly and casual club. I used to go two or three times a week to 39 .

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
“No 7, Jobie Nymble, takes the lead,” cried the announcer. “Just one more hurdle (跨栏) and ...” Cheers broke out.
“Jobie Nymble from Riverside Middle School takes first place in the girls’ 100-meter hurdles!” The crowd went wild.
“County championships (锦标赛), here we come,” screamed Jobie, patting her green track spikes (钉鞋). They were her lucky shoes and she loved them. “Next Saturday, we’re taking home the gold,” Jobie whispered to her spikes, excitedly retying them.
“Don’t forget, guys,” said Marisol, one of her teammates. “My birthday party is next Friday at Hidden Park.”
Next weekend couldn’t come soon enough. Jobie smiled with excitement all week long. At track practice, she leaped over those hurdles faster than she’d ever leaped before. And it wasn’t long before everything in her path was a hurdle: flowerpots in her front yard, sidewalk cracks on the way to the bus stop and even her little sister, Teka!
The day of Marisol’s party, Jobie put on her favorite outfit: her blue shorts, an old track T-shirt from her dad, and her lucky spikes. “Perfect.” She smiled at herself in the mirror.
The party was under way when Jobie arrived at Hidden Park. She stopped by the track first, planning to do some practice.
“Jobie!” Two of Jobie’s teammates rushed toward her, breathless and barefoot. “Come on,” they yelled. “You have to try the slide.”
Jobie looked toward the party area. Suddenly, she saw it. The biggest slide she had ever seen was on the far side of the park. Smiling kids zoomed down the slide at unspeakable speeds. Without thinking twice, Jobie took off her spikes and dashed (猛冲) toward the slide. Its ladder stretched to the sky, but she reached the top in no time, closed her eyes and let go.
Jobie couldn’t get enough. She tried again and again. When it was finally time to go home, she unwillingly made her way back to the track where she’d left her shoes.
