Growing up in Wyoming, she was well aware of the lack of health care resources in countrysides. Access to in-depth health care for cancer (癌症) patients is hard to get. She's worked throughout her life to change that.In Wyoming, there's a great distance to travel between where people live and where they can find a cancer doctor. “If you need treatments and they have to be done every day, and if it's 120 miles from where you live, it is very hard to receive the kind of care you need.”And now Monica serves as the president of the Coalition (联盟) of Cancer Cooperative Groups (CCCG) — an international network of individuals who work to improve the quality of life and survival of cancer patients by taking part in cancer clinical trials more.She said, “One of the important things is that we're trying to make sure cancer clinical trials can reach every single patient who needs them in my own state.” The coalition set up sites in northern and southern Wyoming that are able to run clinical trials. Before those trials, patients would usually go to Denver or Salt Lake City — a three-to-seven-hour drive.Monica's efforts to increase access to the health care needs of her patients also include helping to develop new policies that will allow patients to take part in more clinical trials, and linking them with a regional doctor who can get them the access to the care they need.Besides the clinical trials, Monica said that technology's progress like better cell phone and internet service in the mountains of Wyoming, as well as social media, has helped local people stay in touch with medical professionals despite their distance. She will continue to support those changes.“I still consider myself part of Wyoming and I am very devoted to making sure that patients can get access to health care.”24. What do cancer patients in the countrysides of Wyoming need most?A. Better housing. B. Complete health care.C. Further education. D. Public transportation.25. How has Monica helped the cancer patients?A. By offering clinical trials. B. By supporting financial aid.C. By improving internet service. D. By training medical professionals.26. Which of the following can best describe Monica?A. Determined and creative. B. Honest and generous.C. Grateful and courageous. D. Devoted and responsible.27. What is a suitable title for the text?A. Technology: A push for progress B. Monica: A helper for cancer patientsC. CCCG: A pioneer for cancer treatment D. Clinical trials: A hope for cancer patients CThe popularity of Chinese-owned video-sharing service TikTok(抖音)continues to grow among young people in the United States. In 2019, experts say the service more than doubled its American user base to 37 million. TikTok is especially popular with teens and young adults.The service lets users create and share their short videos that they think interesting and useful. Many of them are under 15 seconds. The TikTok app offers a wide choice of sounds, brief parts of songs and special effects tools to help create a video. Some TikTok-based memes(表情包)are very popular. Videos often include popular songs from well-known artists and TikTok has even helped launch the careers of new music stars.TikTok is considered a competitor to the video-sharing app Snapchat, as well as Facebook's Instagram service. Snapchat and Instagram also mainly interest young users with a wide mix of photos and videos centered largely on fashion, pop culture and humor.Last year, TikTok was the second-most downloaded app from Apple and Google stores. Only WhatsApp was downloaded more. Research company Sensor Tower guesses people have downloaded the TikTok app 1.65 billion times.TikTok has been used by many major companies to reach young people who use little or no traditional media. One of those companies is American-based e. l. f. Cosmetics(化妆品). The makeup company's chief marketer, Kory Marchisotto, said that TikTok is "where the Gen Z party is". Gen Z is a name used to call the generation born between the late 1990s and the early 2000s.“That's where they're all hanging out," Marchisotto said.Companies appearing on TikTok can make money through advertising. Often, the companies create user "challenges" as part of their advertisement campaigns. TikTok users created 3 million videos that received more than 4 billion view.28.Which word can best describe the videos created on TikTok?A.Traditional. B.Boring. C.Various. D.Serious.29.Which was downloaded most from Apple and Google stores last year?A.TikTok. B.Snapchat. C.Instagram. D.WhatsApp.30.What can companies do on TikTok?A.Challenge their competitors. B.Make advertisements.C.Hold music concerts. D.Promote users' abilities to make videos.31.What is the best title for the text?A.TikTok Keeps Growing Among US Youth B.How to Share Short VideosC.Facebook Achieves Great Success D.Companies Benefit Much from VideosDMany of the Earth's creatures die because of humans' choices. These choices have nothing to do with food or shelter or anything else that helps humans survive. What kills millions of animals all over the world is that humans want to make money by doing so. People use parts of animals for everything from hats to handbags, from jewelry to ashtrays and to make powders that supposedly improve a person's life. Deciding that a species is endangered and protecting it by law are not always enough. People who kill wildlife illegally rarely get caught. During the late 1980s, saving elephants became a popular cause. Wildlife protection groups made sure everyone saw pictures or films of elephants with their faces cut off for their ivory. These groups also proved that certain populations of elephants were decreasing. As a result, most people stopped buying objects made of ivory. Laws against poaching (偷猎) were made stronger. Many countries made importing ivory (象牙) illegal. Killing elephants for their Ivory became more risky and less profitable . However, concern for certain species will become weak after a while. In the late 1970s, people protested (抗议) against the killing of seal babies. Everyone was shocked to see young seals being killed in their icy habitat. The cruel activity stopped. But ten years later, the number of seal babies killed w2r. Other animal protection movements have come and gone, such as saving the whales and protecting dolphins. The whale population appears to have increased for now. And the laws are finally changed in America to protect the dolphins that swim with tuna fish(金枪鱼) in parts of the Pacific Ocean. In the years to come, people's attention will probably turn to some other endangered species. Plenty of them urgently need attention. During this time, will the elephants be forgotten?32.What leads to the disappearance of millions of wild animals?A. The growing human population. B. Humans' too much need for wild food.C. Humans' hope for making a fortune. D. Not having enough laws on wildlife protection..33.What can you infer from the text about what happened in the late 1980s?Wildlife protection groups did make great efforts.B. Importing ivory in all countries is illegal.C. Those who killed elephants all got caught.D. Hunting was completely not allowed.34.Why are seal babies mentioned in Paragraph 4?A. To show the effort to protect seal babies.B. To show the decrease of worry about certain species.C. To show people's protest against the killing of seal babies.D. To show an increasing number of seal babies.35.What does the author mean by using the underlined sentence?A. Humans should choose some rare animals to protect.B. Attention must be paid to saving some endangered wildlife.C. Concern and movements for animal protection should be always kept.D.Success has been achieved in quite a few cases of wildlife protection.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。Flowers exude(散发）timeless beauty and grace.

It had an opening through which one could put money in, but the opening was not big enough to reach in and get the money out. The only way to get at the money was to break the piggy bank open. My grandfather explained that was the whole idea; the piggy bank would help save my money so that, at the end of the year,I might have enough for that bike I dreamt about. He asked if I would put some of the money he gave me into the piggy bank. I agreed immediately and promised that I wouldn't break it open until I could afford my dream bike.Whenever he gave me a little bit of money, he would say, "This is for spending. But you can save some and put it in the piggy bank if you want to save it up." When he gave me larger amounts, it was clearly for saving in the piggy bank. For some time, this worked fine. I loved shaking the piggy bank and hearing the sound of the coins. As it became heavier, I grew more excited, dreaming about buying my new bike, and all the adventures I could have on itWhenever I wanted to take some money from the piggy bank to buy delicious ice-creams or beautiful pens,I would imagine riding my bike on the street,and thinking of that, my thoughts about ice-creams or pens went away. So for almost six months, I only put money into the piggy bank without taking any out. I thought I wouldn't break my piggy bank for anything. But one day something unexpected happened. I saw a piece of news on the television that a serious earthquake had happened in a nearby province. As many houses were destroyed, a lot of children became homeless. Seeing their shabby clothes and crying faces, I was sleepless that night.注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右：2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；Paragraph 1:I knew I should do something. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2:My grandfather was surprised by my behavior.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
