• 2．On February 22，2021，cancer survivor Hayley Areeneaux was selected to be one of four crew members of the SpaceX Inspiration4—the world's first civilian astronaut mission.The 29-year-old will make history as the youngest American —and the first with a false limb—to travel to space.
     Hayley's space dreams began two decades ago，following a visit to the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston，Texas.However，the young girl's dreams were derailed a year later when she was diagnosed with osteosarcoma—a type of bone cancer.
     Fortunately，the fatal disease had been caught early and the experts at St.Jude's Children's Research Hospital in Memphis were able to reduce its spread through chemotherapy and by replacing the diseased bones with metal rods（杆） in her left leg.Arceneaux said she never thought she would be able to go to space.But when the call came ""out of the blue" from Jared Isaacman，CEO and founder of Shift4 Payments，asking her if she would like to go to space，she said without hesitation， "Yes，yes，absolutely!"
     Isaacman had always intended to go to space.Hence when SpaceX announced the world's first all-commercial astronaut mission，the 37-year-old billionaire，instantly booked the available four seats.The flying enthusiast announced that he would donate three seats to members of the general public.Hayley，the first crew member to be announced，will represent the pillar（支柱） of "hope" —a nod to her survival of cancer and frontline work as a physician at St.Jude.The remaining passengers，representing the pillars of "generosity" and "prosperity"，will be chosen randomly to raise ﹩200 million for St.Jude，which treats children at no charge.
     Before the mission launch later this year，the crew will undergo intense training.The mission，which will orbit Earth every 90 minutes，will be carefully monitored by SpaceX mission control scientists from Earth.Upon the mission's completion，the Dragon will reenter Earth's atmosphere for a soft water landing off the coast of Florida.
  
  （1）Which of the following is the best title of the passage？

  
  A． "The Sky Is Not Even The Limit" For Jared Isaacman
  B．Hayley's Space Dreams Were Derailed By Osteosarcoma
  C．Cancer Survivor To Become The Youngest American In Space
  D．Hayley Arceneaux Became The Youngest American travelling in Space
  （2）What do you know about Hayley Arceneaux？

  
  A．She is a disabled woman.
  B．She was caught in a storm.
  C．She is a famous physicist.
  D．She used to be a fighter pilot.
  （3）What does the underlined phrase "out of the blue" in Paragraph 3 mean？

  
  A．Sadly.
  B．Strangely.
  C．Randomly.
  D．Suddenly.
  （4）Why would Jared Isaacman donate the last two seats to members of the general public？

• 3．Norwood，a junior High School student，was driving three friends home in St.Petersburg，when another driver crashed into her from her left and made her car hit the tree.The impact jammed shut the driver's side door，so Norwood climbed out of the front window.Two of her friends managed to get out of the car unharmed，but her 16-year-old friend Zarria didn't.She ran back to the car only to find Zarria was just sitting there reactionless.
     A lot of people started to gather around to see what was happening.Norwood started yelling，"Back up，back up，she needs space." Norwood pulled Zarria out of the back seat，avoiding broken glass from the window. "That's when I checked her pulse（脉搏）on her neck.I put my head against her chest，and I didn't really hear nothing.So that's when I just started doing CPR on her." Norwood told the reporter.After the 30 compressions（按压）and two rescue breaths，Zarria regained consciousness（知觉）.Ambulance quickly arrived and rushed her to the hospital to receive medical help.
     When Miller，Norwood's high school teacher，learned that Norwood saved a friend just one day after completing CPR training，she was at a loss of words and so proud.Norwood participates in the school's Athletic Lifestyle Management Academy（ALMA）.The program prepares students for various careers in health science. "We do vital signs and they learn how to take blood pressure and check pulse." Miller introduced.And another one of the skills learned is CPR. "There are two components，a hands-on skills component where they have to demonstrate that they're able to do CPR well，and then there's a written test component，showing that they remember that knowledge."
     Thanks to Norwood's quick thinking，Zarria is recovering well.She also isn't surprised by her friend's actions. "She will always help any way she can，so I wasn't really shocked about that."
  
  （1）What happened to Norwood and her friends on their way home？

  
  A．They lost their way.
  B．They suffered a car accident.
  C．They crashed into another car.

  （3）What can we infer about the ALMA？

  
  A．It normally lasts for one day.
  B．It is for medical students only.
  C．It focuses on both theory and practice.
  D．It trains students to live a healthy lifestyle.

• 4．A new study by the British government has discovered the mental well-being of the country's teenage girls has worsened.
     The survey，which included 30，000 14-year-old students in 2005 and 2014，showed 37 percent of girls with psychological stress，up from 34 percent in 2005.British boys' stress level% as actually seen to fall over the same time period，from 17 percent to 15 percent.The report's authors pointed out the "advent of the social media age" could be a major contributing factor for increased stress among teenage British girls.
     "The adolescent years are a time of rapid physical，cognitive and emotional development，" Pam Ramsden，a lecturer in psychology at the University of Bradford in the United Kingdom，wrote in a recent blog post. "Teenagers interact with people in order to learn how to become competent adults.In the past，they would engage with parents，teachers and other adults in their community as well as extended family members and friends.Now we can also add social media to that list of social and emotional development."
      Throughout adolescence，girls and boys develop characteristics like confidence and self-control.Since teenage brains have not completely developed，teens don't have the cognitive awareness and impulse（冲动） control to keep from posting inappropriate content.Furthermore，this content can easily be spread far and wide with disastrous influences.
      Social media can also feed into girls' insecurities about their appearance，Ramsden said.These sites are often filled with images of people with body type unattainable to the normal person.However，these images and the messages tied to them gradually become societal standards.
     "Social media allows girls to make comparisons among friends as well as celebrities and then provides them with 'solutions' such as extreme dieting tips and workouts to reach their goals，" Ramsden said. "Concerns about body image can negatively impact their quality of life preventing them from having healthy relationships and taking up time that could be better spent developing other aspects of their personalities."
  
  （1）How does the survey tell us the negative impact of social media？

  
  A．By making experiments.
  B．By raising a question.
  C．By making comparisons.
  D．By analyzing causes and effects.
  （2）What is Ramsden's attitude toward the images with fine body shape？

  
  A．Supportive.
  B．Indifferent.
  C．Critical.
  D．Concerned.
  （3）According to the last paragraph，it is necessary for teenagers

  .
  A．to get rid of the bad effects of social media.
  B．to follow the celebrities' example
  C．to be concerned about their body image
  D．to make comparisons among friends
  （4）What does this text mainly tell us？

  
  A．The well-being of teenagers in Britain.
  B．The social media's negative effect in Britain.
  C．The development of teenagers in Britain.
  D．How to interact with teenagers in Britain.

      Ariana caught another whiff （难闻的味道） and tried to hold her breath.She moved away slightly，but Ashley only moved closer and continued talking.Ariana felt trapped.She wanted badly to tell Ashley that she didn't smell very good.But how could she do that without hurting her feelings？Instead，she gathered the remains of her lunch to throw in the trash，thankful for the excuse to get some fresh air.She looked back to see Ashley eating quietly.Ashley's hair was tangled（乱糟糟的），and her clothes were dirty.Ariana forced herself to go back to the table and take her seat，vowing（发誓）that she would not sit with Ashley the next day.
      When Ariana got home from school，she complained to her mother，"There's a girl named Ashley who likes to sit next to me in school，but she smells bad." "She's probably having a tough day，" said her mother. "No，it's not just one day.She smells bad a lot，" Ariana explained. "Nobody else likes to sit next to her，either."
      "I don't think you understand Ashley's situation，so let me ask you this…，" Her mother's tone was serious. "Who makes sure that your hair is combed every morning so you'll look nice when you go to school？" "You do，" answered Ariana.

"Do you live in a nice home？Do you have enough to eat？" Ariana nodded，beginning to feel guilty.She was starting to understand now.Ashley couldn't help her situation because she was only seven years old-the same age as Ariana.Grown-ups are supposed to take care of kids.
