He knows all too well that in the best of times they are lucky to find a public bathroom that will let them in to wash up occasionally,not to mention several times a day.Lesters experience of creating temporary shelters with his nonprofit led him to another idea: temporary handwashing stations, the kind you see at outdoor music festivals. He mentioned the idea to his friend Lecrae Moore, a Grammy-winning Christian rapper, who eagerly donated enough money to buy 15 of the $ 150 washing stations. They called their project Love Sinks In. “If leaders in this country are asking people to wash their hands,we also have to provide the tools to people living on the margins of society who are more likely to catch and spread the coronavirus,” Lester says.After its success in Atlanta, the group sent sinks to Birmingham, Alabama; Oakland, California; Columbus, Ohio; and Austin, Texas, where a partner organization installed the sinks in parks and other public spaces, thanks to a $ 13,000 donation from Google. (In addition to the startup funds, it costs about $ 500 a month to keep each sink stocked with soap and clean water.) One Atlanta hand washer, Sam, left a note on a sink that said, “God bless you! The hand washing the others!”24 What makes Lester know the homeless well? A. His research into the homeless. B. His personal experience.C. The public health warming.D. The nonprofit organization.25 How did Lester help the homeless during the coronavirus outbreak? 来源:*zzstep.co&mA. He fixed handwashing stations at musical festivals.B. He installed the sink for hand washing in person. C. He launched the project Love Sinks In.D. He created temporary shelters.26 What can we infer from the passage? A. The homeless are unlikely to develop coronavirus.B. The project involves individual and collective efforts.C. The homeless have good public health consciousness.来源:中国教育%*出&版网D. Handwashing is the most effective way to cure coronavirus.27 What is Sams attitude towards Lester?A. Grateful. B. Negative.C. Concerned D. DoubtfulCNew molecules (分子) engineered by Weill Cornell Medicine researchers can enable rapid, direct “editing” of genes in a wide range of cell types, creating an series of research and therapeutic possibilities.The molecules, known as base editors, can attach to a target DNA sequence and chemically alter a single DNA letter. Base editing technology, just two years old, developed from the better known CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology. CRISPR/Cas9 molecules allow scientists to cut almost any piece of DNA in a cell and in this way disable or remove a gene. By contrast, a base editor molecule, using essentially the same DNA-targeting mechanism, chemically modifies a gene rather than cutting it out.Base editing is better suited for making or correcting single-base “point mutations (基因突变)” in DNAthe cause of many inherited diseases and cancersand in principle involves less risk of having collateral impact on other normal DNA. However, first-generation base editors operate efficiently in relatively few cell types. Together, the team systematically re-engineered the principal existing set of base editors, known as BE3, BE4Gam and xBE3, to boost their production in cellslow production had been a problem in many cell types. The optimized editors, unlike the first-generation version, work efficiently in a wide variety of cell types and model systems, including mouse and human cell lines, and even liver cells in live mice.“These new base editors allow us to model and study diseases such as cancer in new ways, but they really have applications all the way across biomedical research,” said senior study author Dr. Lukas Dow, an assistant professor of biochemistry in medicine and a member of the Sandra and Edward Meyer Cancer Center at Weill Cornell Medicine.The Weill Cornell Medicine scientists now plan to use the new editors for several research applications, including the investigation of mutations associated with cancers to find suitable targets for therapies. “There is a huge list of cancer-linked mutations whose precise roles in cancer are unknown, and now with these optimized tools we can study them affordably and in a feasible time frame,” Dr. Dow said.The optimized editors are also being studied by researchers working on other applications, including potential therapies for genetic diseases.来%&源:中教网28 How many types of molecules are mentioned in the first two paragraphs?来源:中国教育出%#版&网A. 1B. 2.C. 3D. 4www.z%zstep.com*29 Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “collateral” in paragraph 3?A. positiveB. immediateC. connected D. healing30 According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A.

But in these days of complex news it must provide more: it must supply interpretation, the meaning of the facts. This is a very important assignment facing American journaliststo make clear to the reader the problems of the day, to make international news understandable as community news, to recognize that there is no longer any such thing as “local” news, because any event in the international area has a local reaction in the financial market, political circles, in terms, indeed, of our very way of life. There is in journalism a widespread view that when you start an interpretation, you are entering dangerous waters, the rushing tides of opinion. This is nonsense.来源:zz*s#te%The opponents of interpretation insist that the writer and the editor shall limit themselves to the “facts”. This insistence raises two questions: What are the facts? Are the bare facts enough?As for the first question, consider how a so-called “factual” story comes about. The reporter collects, say, fifty facts; out of these fifty, his space being necessarily restricted, he selects the ten which he considers most important. This is Judgment Number One. Then he or his editor decides which of these ten facts shall make up the beginning of the article, which is an important decision because many readers do not proceed beyond the first paragraph. This is Judgment Number Two. Then the night editor determines whether the article shall be presented on page one, where it has a large influence, or on page twenty-four, where it has little. Judgment Number Three.来%源#:中国教育出版网Thus in the presentation of a so-called “factual” or “objective” story, at least three judgments are involved. And they are judgments not at all unlike those involved in interpretation, in which reporters and editors, calling upon their research resources, their general background, and their “news neutralism”, arrive at a conclusion as to the significance of the news.The two areas of judgment, presentation of the news and its interpretation, are both objective and subjective processes. If an editor is determined to give a prejudiced view of the news, he can do it in other ways and more effectively than by interpretation. He can do it by the selection of those facts that support his particular viewpoint. Or he can do it by the place he gives a story-promoting it to page one or dragging it to page thirty.32 According to the first paragraph, which of the following statements is TRUE?AFor reporters, interpretation of facts is no less important than presentation of the facts.w*ww.zzste&p.comBJournalists must select facts objectively to make current events clear to the readers.CThe most important task of reporters is to provide unprejudiced facts for the readers.DIf a reporter makes clear the facts he writes, he will no doubt get into trouble.33 The beginning of the article should present the most important fact because _.Ait will influence the reader to continue来源%#:中教网Bmany readers read only the first paragraphCit details the general attitude of the writerDits the best way to write according to the schools of journalism34 Where a story is presented in a newspaper shows_.Athe editors prejudiceBthe reporters backgroundCthe storys factual matterDthe storys effect on the readers来%源:#中教*网&35 Which of the following can best express the authors attitude toward objectiveness?AObjectiveness is controlled by editors rather than writers.BProperly choosing facts prepares a solid ground for objectiveness.CHe doesnt think there exists complete objectiveness in news writing.DTo make clear the news is a way to be objective and responsible for the readers.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）来源:中国&*教#育出版网根据短文内容，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。Is there a link between
