back memories of family meals,community events and religious get-togethers.She brings the hot meals for free to people in an area called Preston,as well as surrounding communities in northwestern England.The area has recorded some of the highest numbers of coronavirus cases in Britain.She uses the best food she can find.Theyre worth it,she said.Theyve taught us so many things when we firstly moved here.In addition to food,the volunteers offer a bit of human contact.The loneliness of the past year has been painful for many of the seniors.When the hot meals arrive,they get to talk with the volunteers and share stories.Sylius Toussaint is 81 and came from the island nation of Dominica in 1960,who said talking with the volunteers helps him as much as the food does.They say hello and give you a meal,and maybe for just a few seconds at least you see someone new;someone you havent seen all week,Toussaint says,smiling at his wife.If you are on your own,it is so nice to see a fresh face especially bringing gifts.Britains COVID-19 vaccination program may soon mean the quarantine will be eased.But Andrew 4 wants to keep making and sharing her island meals.In the future,she said,she hopes to find a place where the community can meet and spend time together.But for now,the volunteers plan to continue to connect with the community through food.24Why does Glenda Andrew provide free

community.CAndrew will stop providing meals.DAndrew will help the community out.C We are not who we think we are.The American self-image is spread with the golden glow of opportunity.We think of the United States as a land of unlimited possibility,not so much a classless society but as a place where class is mutablea place where brains,energy and ambition are what count,not the circumstances of ones birth.The Economic Mobility Project,an ambitious research led by Pew Charitable Trusts,looked at the economic fortunes of a large group of families over time,comparing the income of parents in the late 1960s with the income of their children in the late 1990s and early 2000s.Here is the finding:The“rags to riches”story is much more common in Hollywood than on Main Street.Only 6 percent of children born to parents with family income at the very bottom move to the top.That is right,just 6 percent of children born to parents who ranked in the bottom of the study sample,in terms of income,were able to bootstrap their way into the top.Meanwhile,an incredible 42 percent of children born into that lowest are still stuck at the bottom,having been unable to climb a single rung of the income ladder.It is noted that even in Britaina nation we think of as burdened with a hidebound(守旧的)class systemchildren who are born poor have a better chance of moving up.When the studies were released,most reporters focused on the finding that African-Americans born to middle-class or upper middle-class families are earning slightly less,in inflation-adjusted dollars,than did their parents.One of the studies indicates,in fact,that most of the financial gains white families have made in the past three decades can be attributed to the entry of white women into the labor force.This is much less true for African-Americans.The picture that emerges from all the correlations and percentages is of a nation in which,over all,“the current generation of adults is better off than the previous one”,as one of the studies notes.The median income of the families in the sample group was$55,600 in the late 1960s;their childrens median family income was measured at$71,900.However,this rising ride has not lifted all boats equally.The rich have seen far greater income gains than the poor.5 Even more troubling is that our nation of America as the land of opportunity gets little supper:from the data.Americans move fairly easily up and down the middle rungs of the ladder,but there is“stickiness at the end”four out of ten children who are born poor will remain poor,and four out of ten who are born rich will stay rich.28What did the Economic Mobility Project find in its research?AChildren from low-income families are unable to bootstrap their way to the top.BHollywood actors and actresses are upwardly mobile from rags to riches.CThe rags to riches story is more fiction than reality.DThe rags to riches story is only true for a small minority of whites.29It can be inferred from the writer that America,as a classless society,should _.Aperfect its self-image as a land of opportunity Bhave a higher level of upward mobility than Britain Cenable African-Americans to have exclusive access to well-paid employment Dencourage the current generation to work as hard as the previous generation 30Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?AThe US is a land where brains,energy and ambition are what count.BInequality persists between whites and blacks in financial gains.CMiddle-class families earn slightly less with inflation considered.DChildren in lowest-income families manage to climb a single rung of the ladder.31What might be the best title for this passage?ASocial Upward Mobility in America BIncredible Income Gains in America CAmerica:Land of Unequal Wealth DAmerica:Not Land of Opportunity for all D In 2008,Michael Goodfellow,a scientist at Newcastle University,was handed a soil sample taken from Chiles Atacama Desertthe worlds driest desert,once considered a dead zone.“Quite frankly,we didnt expect to isolate(使分离)anything,”Goodfellow admits.But to his surprise,he was able to grow a diversity of bacteria from the sample.A 2018 review counted a total of 46 new molecules(分子)that have been isolated from the Atacama bacteria so far,many of which show antibiotic(抗菌的),antiviral or anticancer properties(特征).It was the type of bacteria living in the Atacama that proved particularly exciting:actinobacteria(放线菌).Take streptomyces griseus for example,a species of actinobacteria you might find in soil.A sample of streptomyces,when placed among mycobacterium tuberculosis(结核杆菌),will release a chemical which stops its bacterial neighbors from growing the proteins they need to survive.When scientists at Rutgers University managed to isolate this chemical in 1944,they accidentally found the first antibiotic treatment for tuberculosis,saving countless lives.Today,there is general agreement on the need for the development of new antibiotics because our most trusted drugs began to failbacteria have learnt how to survive our antibiotic attacks.Sometimes,a potentially useful chemical can be found right in environments around us.But many scientists argue that we should also be exploring the natural world for novel biochemistry,an approach known as“bioprospecting”.“70%to 75%of all antibiotics come from nature,”notes Marcel Jaspars,a natural product chemist at the 6 University of Aberdeen.“It strikes me that we should be looking more deeply into how nature makes these molecules and how we can actually find antibiotics.”32What did Goodfellow think of the sample at first?AIt was lifeless.BIt was man-made.CIt was of great value.DIt was of doubtful origin.33Why does the author mention scientists achievement in 1944?ATo compare two species of actinobacteria.BTo explain the major cause of tuberculosis.CTo explain the purpose of antibiotic treatments.DTo show the potential of the Atacama actinobacteria.34Which of the following best describes Jaspars attitude to“bioprospecting”?ADoubtful.BSupportive.CTolerant.DConservative.35What does the passage mainly talk about?AAntibiotics are bound to fail.BEffective treatments come from nature.CFun facts are listed about the Atacama Desert.DThe desert soil could save lives.第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10
