21、What are some of your favorite memories of the University?
In preparation for each fall’s 50th reunion members of the milestone class are asked to recall campus memories for an annual Memory Book.
Here’s a small selection of some memories from the Class of 1969.
Phyllis Jo Baunach
“…I cannot forget the endless hours studying, researching, and learning in the middle of the musty books in the stacks. We did everything by hand! But the joys of ideas coming to life and understanding thorny concepts are priceless.
Additionally, I cannot forget the joyful hours of Co-Kast rehearsals for student-written-and-directed plays, and the thrill of audiences’ responses to our efforts. Nor will I ever forget taking voice lessons at the Eastman School of Music. This course gave me confidence to try new musical approaches and to think on my feet.”
Paul Boehm
“…many sweet and lasting memories-five feet of deep snow, getting stranded on the Thruway, music at Hylie Morris’s Alley, and, of course, I met my wife of 48 years, Eller Blazer Boehm from the Class of 1972, when she was a freshman and I was a senior. As a five-year chemical engineering major, I had one elective to spare, and Ellen said, ‘How about oceanography?’ So, I enrolled in oceanography with Dr. Taro Takahashi (the famous climate scientist), which awakened my environmental juices, and changed my professional direction.”
Farel Vella McClure
“…I truly loved my four undergraduate years at the University of Rochester. In fact. I loved it so much that I stayed an extra year to get a master’s degree! I was very fortunate to have been totally immersed in student life on campus. My memories include campaigning and winning a seat on the student government during my freshman year. Other memories include the Susan B. Anthony banquet, and sleeping in the comfy chairs in the library. I was also privileged to be selected as a student representative on the design team for the new Wilson Commons. I. M. Pei, the famous architect who designed the Louvre Pyramid, was the architect for Wilson Commons. We even visited his offices in New York to see the ‘master’ at work.”
【1】According to the passage, Paul Boehm .

23、 Like many of us, Brittney Woodrum had a lot of plans for 2020. The University of Denver graduate student was going to travel the world and continue her work for the various non-governmental organizations (NGOs) she'd been working for before graduate school. However, when a serious infectious disease started, Woodrum began to accept that her travel plans would have to be put on hold. But what she couldn't accept was staying at home and “waiting this thing out.”
So, the Kentucky native began to look for an organization she could partner with to get the most out of her newly flexible schedule. She quickly found and committed to Shelterbox — a mostly volunteer-run organization that provides emergency shelter and tools for displaced families around the world — recognized internationally by the green box which physically holds the relief products. She joined as an ambassadress and learned that participating in physically challenging projects with the bluish-green box was central to the organization's mission.
As a hiker and lover of the outdoors, the 27-year-old decided she was going to climb all 58 of Colorado's 14,000 feet mountains with the goal of raising awareness and funding for families around the world who have lost their homes and are now facing the threat of the disease. 78 days and nearly 600 miles of hiking later, Woodrum raised $85,000 from friends, family and strangers around the world.
Woodrum said because the project came together so quickly, she didn't think she would raise more than $ 5,000. Word seemed to spread very quickly and a lot of people were equally moved by Shelterbox's mission and what I was doing," she said. "I have a large amount of gratitude to everyone who came out to support me both virtually and physically.”
The journey was not easy. “There were a lot of variables (可变因素) involved, from the weather to my health and well-being.” She said, “I am so relieved that everything went better than expected.”
【1】What can we learn about Shelterbox?
A．Its goal is to rebuild homes for the homeless.
B．It is an official disaster relief organization.
C．It often sets a tight schedule for its ambassadors.
D．Its ambassadors should carry green boxes for tasks.
【2】Which of the following can best describe Woodrum?
A．Reliable and intelligent.
B．Generous and flexible.
C．Adventurous and sympathetic.
D．Creative and determined.
【3】How did Woodrum feel about the result of her project?
A．Confident
B．Unexpected
C．Unsatisfied.
D．Ambitious.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A．Hard Journey to Raise Money
B．New Plan of Brittney Woodrum
C．Shelterbox Stands by Poor Families
D．Student Climbs Mountains for Charity
24、 You might easily gain access to fresh fruit and vegetables, but this isn’t the case in some parts of America. The U. S. has many areas that are considered as food deserts, which are defined as parts of the country short of fresh fruit, vegetables and other healthy food, usually found in poor areas.
Food deserts are urban areas where the nearest grocery store is more than 1 mile away, and rural areas where the nearest grocery store is more than 10 miles away. According to the USDA, 19 million Americans — or 6.2% of the population — live in places that can be considered as food deserts.
The issue isn’t necessarily about the difference in cost between healthy and unhealthy foods in these areas but it’s about a lack of access to healthy choices at all. And, with the lack of healthy food choices, these areas typically have a large supply of unhealthy foods sold at fast-food companies and convenience stores.
Eating unhealthy foods can lead to overweight, which puts people at risk for all kinds of major health issues, including high blood pressure, heart disease, and some cancers.
But some people, especially those who cannot afford a car, are stuck with eating what’s readily available. In the case of food deserts, it’s usually the type of food that can lead to overweight. Studies have shown that this is likely to be a problem in low-income areas. When money is not enough, people tend to buy foods that last longer and remove food waste, which is a waste of their limited income.
Lack of access is only one part of the problem, however. The bigger issue was likely the lack of education and nutritional knowledge in these communities, which prevents people with lower incomes from understanding the benefits of healthy eating.
While overweight is a significant issue in these communities, the cost of unhealthy eating isn’t just physical. A study found that 71 billion dollars in healthcare costs due to chronic (慢性的) diseases could be saved through healthier eating.
【1】What can we infer from the first two paragraphs?
A.6.2% of the Americans live in poor areas.
B.Some parts of the USA lack fresh vegetables.
C.Some people in America don’t need fresh fruit.
D.People in the food deserts buy fresh vegetables easily
【2】Why can fast-food companies sell large amounts of unhealthy food in the food deserts?
A.These areas are rich in unhealthy food materials.
B.The fast food sold in the food deserts are of lower cost.
C.Healthy food choices are unavailable in these areas.
D.People in these areas prefer unhealthy food to healthy food.
【3】We can learn from Paragraph 5 that the low-income people______.
A.are less likely to have overweight problems
B.are not delighted to prepare food for themselves
C.have to buy food that can be preserved longer
D.are used to eating food donated by food companies
【4】What stops people from understanding healthy eating benefits in the food deserts?
A.Their high healthcare cost due to the chronic diseases.
B.Their long established eating habits.
C.The government’s lack of financial support.
D.Their lack of education and knowledge in nutrition.
25、 The small town of Allen Crossing, Indiana, has been the place I’ve called home for all 16 years of my life. That’s where I spend hours just ______.

Everything moved at such a ______ pace that I felt I had no time to process it all.
Art classes were another story. ______ I started making art, I felt like myself again. Working from memory, I made a series of drawings of natural scenes. “Your images are very ______ and accurate,” one teacher told me. “Why not try using brighter colors and bolder shapes and motions?” I followed her advice and was amazed at the ______.
One day my cousin Ken came to see my drawings. “Gosh! These are great! They remind me of graffiti (涂鸦).” He exclaimed.
I looked at my drawings and was ______.To me graffiti was not art, it was ____ messy, unreadable writing on walls.
“Cool,” Ken continued. “If you’re into art, you should come with me.” I followed him to a huge factory that was completely ______ with graffiti. The walls were covered with bright colors, portraits, words and calligraphy-like symbols. What I saw was art not unlike what I had been making. The big ______ was that the artists drew images from city life, such as crowded subway trains and tall, shiny buildings. In every sketch, there was a(n) ______ that reminded me of that first subway ride, only it was a creative one.
Now I know that ______ is different for everyone. What drives one person crazy can be the thing that drives another person to ______. I may not look at the city the way street artists do, but they may not see nature the way I do. I ______ the way the city’s energy inspires them.

26、请阅读下面短文， 并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
You may not have noticed it , but every time you are very hungry, you tend to get angry much more easily and for no reason. You are getting “hungry”, which is “the phenomenon whereby some people get short-tempered when they’re longing for a feed”, CNN noted.
According to Health, the lower blood sugar stops the brain from working properly. As a result, we may feel ineffective and angry.
What we eat will provide the nutrients for our bloodstream. Then they are given to our organs and tissues and used for energy.
But if we are hungry, the nutrients will drop rapidly. And if they drop enough, our brain will think that it is in a life-threatening situation and cannot focus on its job. So you will find it’s hard to work or study efficiently and keep a peaceful mind.
Scientists advise to “carry healthy snacks with you---like fruit, and yogurt---so that when you are hungry, they will hold you over until the next meal.”
