Instead, she spent that year and the following five trying to survive. She was living in Poland when World War II broke out “My entire life was ruined within minutes J she says. "I was looking forward to starting school/5 She never made it. And not having a degree has always been a thorn in her side.Decades later, though, the now-89-year-old Holocaust survivor finally got something she had always longed for. Kapiloff Brander, director of community programs at Jewish Family Services, reached out to the New England Jewish Academy, a Jewish high school, to ask whether the school could help Mariam fulfill her wish. Richard Nabel, the principal of the school, brought a few senior students to Miriam's home to hear her story before they came up with the idea of presenting her an honorary diploma at the school's 2020 graduation ceremony.Miriam suffered a lot in a slave labor camp in Siberia before she got liberated in 1946. She and her remaining family members went to a refugee camp in Germany, where she got married and had her first child at the age of 16. Having spent years in refugee camps in different countries, she finally immigrated to America in 1960. Getting a formal education was never an option for her but she learned seven languages over the years. "I educated myself, she says. “I read books day and night. I still do.”On August 16, during a socially distanced ceremony in the school gym, Miriam was presented with a high school diploma from the New England Jewish Academy. "There weren't too many dry eyes among the 30 of us there/9 says Nabel. Miriam's family was especially moved. "I'm not sure she even realizes the importance of that moment to mej says Bernie, her eldest son. "I am so proud of her.24. What can be learned about Mariam from paragraph 1?A.

The research team, led by the American Museum of Natural History, found that as small river systems change over time, they spurthe evolution of new species. The findings also reveal previously unknown bird species in the Amazon that are only found in small areas next to these dynamic river systems, putting them at high risk of extinction.The lowland rainforests of the Amazon River basin harbor（藏匿）more diversity than any other ecosystem on the planet. It is also a globally important biome（生物群落）containing about 18 percent of all trees on Earth and carrying more fresh water than the next seven largest river basins combined. Researchers have long wondered and hotly debated how the Amazon's rich biodiversity arose and accumulated.“Early evolutionary biologists like Alfred Russel Wallace noticed that many species of primates and birds differ across opposite riverbanks in the Amazon J said the study's lead author Lukas Musher. “ Moreover, accumulating geological evidence has suggested that these rivers are highly dynamic, moving around the South American landscape over relatively short time periods, on the order of thousands or tens of thousands of years.”To investigate how the movement of rivers across the landscape has influenced the accumulation of bird species in the Amazon, the researchers sequenced the genomes（基因组）of six species of Amazonian birds.Because these rivers move around the landscape at different time scales, their movements can have varying outcomes for bird species: when river rearrangements occur quickly, populations of birds on each side can combine before they've had time to differ; when river changes happen slowly, species have a longer time to diverge from one another.28. What does the underlined word “spur" in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Stimulate.B. Renew.C. Pursue.D. Interrupt.29. What have researchers debated on?A. What the Amazon's biodiversity indicates.B. How the Amazon's biodiversity was formed.C. Whether the Amazon has the richest biodiversity.D. Why Amazon bird species are at risk of distinction.3O.What can we conclude from LukasMushefs words?A. There are six species of American birds.B. Rivers move very slowly in South America.C. Most species differ across opposite Amazon riverbanks.D. River movement may lead to the Amazon's biodiversity.31. .What has influenced the change of bird species in the Amazon?A. The location of river movement.B. The populations of birds.C. The speed of river movement.D. The amount of the genomes.DMany livestock farmers in the western world are becoming worried by a longer-term threat to their income from the growing popularity of vegetarian diets. Here comes the question whether to eat meat or not. Before airing our view, we should consider seriously the three reasons that vegetarians give for refusing animal products.The easiest point to argue against is that eating meat is unhealthy. Nothing is healthier than a varied diet, including fiber, vegetable, fruit and meat. Although studies show that eating redand processed meat may raise the risk of some cancers, it is important not to overstate the effect. This week, for example, Cancer Research UK reported that eating an extra piece of bacon every day raised the risk of bowel cancer by 20 percent. But that means just eight extra (largely curable) cases in every 10,000 people over six years.Our treatment of farm animals is an issue that vegetarians find more troubling. A common view is that raising animals in a small area cause unacceptable suffering. In this regard, agricultural authorities should take up the responsibility to enforce welfare standards that give each animal enough space to stand and move around comfortably. Also, consumers have an important role to play in improving conditions for farm animals. For example, the dislike of "battery hens“ led to an EU ban in 2012 on keeping chickens in barren cages.The environmental impact of livestock farming is its greatest problem in a century. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that farmed animals account for 14.5% of greenhouse gas emission. Although changes in grazing practices could substantially reduce the environmental impact of livestock farming, it will always use more resources than producing the same number of calories from plant crops. Meat production should focus on the world's traditional grasslands, without taking up new land.32. Which of the following is NOT the reason against animal products given by vegetarians?A. It harms human health.B. It causes animal suffering.C. It damages the environment.D. It threatens the income of farmers.33. Why does the author mention the report from Cancer Research UK in paragraph 2?A. To prove that eating too much meat is unhealthy.B. To persuade people out of eating too much meat.C. To show that eating meat is not as unhealthy as vegetarians think.D. To present the fact that eating too much bacon may cause cancer.34. Whafs the author's attitude towards raising animals in a small area?A. Favorable.B. Negative.C. Indifferent.D. Unclear.35. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A. The changes in feeding practices.B. The challenges that livestock farming faces.C. The negativeeffects of livestock farming on the environment.D. The measures to reduce the environmental impact of livestock farming. 第二节(共5小题；每小题分，满分分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。Exams are an important type of assessment almost all students will need to undertake. The best way to study is not to recite it all in hours or minutes before an exam. Exam stress affects most students in various ways. 36How do you face such an important day? If you have not been able to study the completecontents till now, don't long to finish it all. 37 In your bag, collect all your supplies such as pencils, several pens and other important writing materials. Put the bag and everything else that you might need in one place. This will help to reduce your worries in the morning.When you arrive at the hall, surround yourself with friends who are supportive or just go through your notes quietly. Always make it a point to study the subjects which you find easier to learn first. 38 Therefore, do not go round asking crazily for the answer. This will just upset you and send you into panic mode. 39Before the examination starts, make sure your question paper is complete. Read the instructions carefully. Settle the easy questions first. Divide your time carefully for each question and move on to the next question even if you have not finished the first.Finally, after each paper, go home and rest. Do not worry about what you could have done or haven't done. Try not to discu
