21、Last year she and I rescued several hurt street baby dogs and we had the homeless momma dog vaccinated (接种疫苗) by a local animal rescue here in Mumbai, India where we live as foreigners. We have been meaning to go volunteer at the shelter ever since. I was recently feeling the push to serve more, so I scheduled a Saturday visit.
My daughter had social invites and was torn, but she also felt the push to visit the shelter so planned to go join her friends later in the day. We piled up old blankets, sheets and pillows to take along and donate. On arriving and touring we met 500 dogs and 200 cats being cared for at this shelter.
After the tour we served meals to the puppies in the sick/injured puppy ward. We held and comforted those who would clearly survive their injuries and several who were so sick that the volunteer vet on hand said they had a 50/50 chance of being alive next week. Then we led two sick, abandoned young kittens with an eyedropper.
While feeding the animals I watched the workers who were cleaning out some of the dog houses with healthy dogs who would be returned to the streets. I was so touched by how often they stopped in their duty to pet and play with these dogs. The many workers and volunteers are paid nothing to support these animals and they do it with such love.
My daughter and I stayed for 4-5 hours, beyond the time she had scheduled to meet friends for lunch. She chose to skip her social date and spend more time with these animals despite the tough conditions. Tired and dirty, we felt blessed to share some time with people who care deeply for relieving the suffering of so many vulnerable beings.

22、When Julie Weiss lost her father, Maurice, in 2010, just 35 days after he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer(胰腺癌), she was heartbroken. “Research for pancreatic cancer is so underfunded, and it made me feel helpless,” she says. “I knew I had to do something.”
So this marathon queen, as she calls herself, did what she knows how to do best: She went running. Having already completed 25 marathons during the previous two years, Julie now promised to run 52 marathons in 52 weeks in honor of her father. After asking people to donate money for each marathon, she set up a website, marathongoddess.com, to collect the donations for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PANCAN), a nonprofit organization.
Julie, 43, began her 52-marathon journey in Rome in March 2012. She focused on pacing herself, often clocking in an hour slower than her best time of 3:47, and decided not to stick to a strict training schedule. “It is a long process and I knew my body recovered quickly from marathon running,” she says, and, anyway, “nothing can prepare you for what you’re about to experience.” When her muscles began to ache, she kept her motivation in mind. “It was like I had angels with me to keep running no matter what,” she says. To stay focused, she’d think of her father. “He did everything big,” says Julie.
Julie finished her 1,362.4-mile journey covering two countries and 18 states in March 2013 at the L. A.Marathon, raising more than $200,000 in the process for PANCAN, which was quite unusual.

23、Benjamin Alexander, a 38-year-old man from Northampton shire, became the first athlete to represent Jamaica in an alpine skiing event (高山滑雪) at the Winter Olympics.
But his story started in 2015. When he saw friends did the sport so skillfully, he was in awe and decided to take a ski lesson.” That first time, I fell 27 times on the way down the hill. I think a lot of people would have given up at that point.” “But I kind of just took that as the baseline. If I can aim for falling less than 27 times on the next hill, then I am progressing.”
However, it wasn’t until two years later that Benjamin considered seriously competing in the sport. “In 2018, I went to the Winter Olympics as a spectator,” he said. “I noticed that there were only three athletes representing Jamaica. I found that very strange since my mother country is a powerhouse full of athletes in the summer game. So coming into 2019, I just had a plan to say, ‘Let’s see if this crazy idea of going to the Olympics is even possible. Let’s just go and ski for a little while and see what happens.’” he said.
Alexander has no full-time coach. He built a support network that included Stokes and the US skier Gordon Gray, who called Alexander’s technique “terrible” but thought his lack of fear would give him an advantage in competition. A strategic approach and fearless technique have led the engineering graduate and former DJ not only to make sporting history but find success as a black athlete in a historically white sport. Alexander bills himself as a “reinvention expert” and has used skills learned in his other careers to develop his pursuit of skiing success. “I’ve been to 67 countries. I’ve spent a lot of my life on the road.” he said. “I’ve always loved to travel and a big part of my previous role as a DJ was getting myself out there, marketing myself in the right way, figuring out ways to get into venues, clubs and festivals that I wanted to perform at.”
【1】What made Benjamin decide to compete in Olympics?
A.His love for his motherland.
B.His friends’ encouragement.
C.His desire to change his life.
D.His enthusiasm for alpine skiing.
【2】What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.The challenges Benjamin met.
B.The advantages Benjamin has.
C.The way of Benjamin’s training.
D.The reason behind Benjamin’s success.
【3】What can we learn from Benjamin Alexander?
A.Better late than never.

C.Never judge a book by its cover.
D.Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
【4】In which column will you read this passage on the Internet?

24、 Using your face to unlock your phone is a pretty genius security. plan. But like any advanced technology, thieves and hackers are always up to the challenge, whether that's unlocking your phone with your face while you sleep or using a photo from social media to do the am.
Like every other human biometric identification system(生物标识系统)before it, such as fingerprints and retina scans, there are still significant.security bugs in some of the most advanced identity verification(证实)technology. Brigham Young University electrical and computer engineering Professor D.J.Lee has decided there is a better and more secure way to use your face for restricted access.
It's called Concurrent Two-Factor Identity Verification (C2FIV) and it requires both one’s facial identity and a specific facial motion to gain access.To set it up,a user faces a camera and records a short 1-2 second video of either a unique facial motion or a lip movement from reading a secret phrase.The video is then input into the device, which obtains facial features and the features of the facial motion, storing them for later ID verification.
To get technical, C2FIV relies on an integrated neural network framework to learn facial features and actions at the same time.Using this integrated neural network framework, the user’s facial features and movements are embedded(嵌入)and stored on a server or in an embedded device and when they later attempt to gain access,the computer compares the newly generated embedding to the stored one.That user's ID is verified if the new and stored embeddings match at a certain level.
Lee said C2FIV has broader application,including accessing restricted areas at a workplace, online banking,ATM use,safe deposit box access or even hotel room entry or keyless access to your vehicle."How great would it be to know that even if you lost your car key, no one can steal your vehicle because they don't know your secret facial action?"
【1】How do today's hackers unlock your phone?
A.By challenging you to make faces.
B.By making genius security plans.
C.By taking your fingerprints.
D.By stealing your photos from social media.
【2】What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.How C2FIV differs.
B.How C2FIV works.
C.Why C2FTV is convenient.
D.Where C2FIV is applied.
【3】What is the foundation to guarantee that C2FIVgets technical?
A.Learning facial features and actions at once.
B.Being equipped with an embedded device.
C.Matching the new and stored embeddings.
D.Using an integrated neural network framework.
【4】What does Professor D.J.Lee think of C2FTV?
A.It has limited application areas.
B.It can improve work efficiency.
C.It has a bright application future.
D.It can ensure the motion of vehicles.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文.
Nada Popovici was at a professional hockey (曲棍球) game. She kept looking at the back of the man’s neck. She wrote a message with the words “mole (痣)”“cancer” and “doctor” on her phone in bright red type. She did it to get the attention of the man, Brian Hamilton. He is an assistant equipment manager for the Vancouver Canucks hockey team.
Mr. Hamilton had a small mole on his neck. It was irregularly shaped and red-brown. These are the signs of a cancerous mole that Ms. Popovici had learned to spot. Maybe he already knew? But if so, why was the mole still there? She thought that Mr. Hamilton did not know.
“I need to tell him.” Ms. Popovici typed a message on her phone. The game ended. After waving at him several times, she finally drew Mr. Hamilton's attention. She placed her phone against the glass. The message read, “The mole on the back of your neck is possibly cancerous. Please go see a doctor!”
Mr. Hamilton looked at the message, rubbed the back of his neck, and kept walking. He was thinking, “Well, that’s strange.”
After the game, Mr. Hamilton went home and asked his partner to spot the mole, and she said she could. He asked the team doctor if it was worrisome. It was. Then after he had it removed, he waited for the biopsy (活检) results. Was the fan sitting behind the team's bench right?
Indeed, Ms. Popovici was correct. She had saved Hamilton’s life. Doctors later told him that it was a type of skin cancer. They said they could remove with ease and treat. But early detection is important. “The sooner you find something, the better it is,” a doctor said.
Mr. Hamilton recalled the doctor telling him, “I am going to diagnose you with cancer. And I am going to cure you of cancer in the same phone call.”
Once he knew he was fine, Mr. Hamilton tried to find the woman he described as “a hero”.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Mr. Hamilton wrote a letter posted on the team’s Twitter account.
