27、My first newsroom was in a grand building with tall arched windows that dominated a street corner in the small Midwestern city where I worked. Inside, there was a high ceiling. “Did this use to be a bank?” many visitors would ask. But it had, in fact, always been a newsroom.
I was young and shy when I first went to work there, and it probably took me a month before I talked to any of the other reporters. But eventually, they became my best friends, the core of my social life
My second newsroom was the airy top floor of a historic building in the state capital of Maryland. It was smaller and less grand but far more energizing. My colleagues were older. I learned so much about bow to be a reporter from overhearing their phone interviews.
This past summer, several American newspapers announced they would be closing their newsrooms. Many local newspapers have gone out of business in recent years, victims of declining circulation and shrinking advertising dollars. Then along came the coronavirus pandemic (新冠病毒疫情), and so many of us were sent home to work from there. The pleasant surprise is that we have all succeeded brilliantly in working remotely. But some managers have looked at this success and thought: “Why would we need to return to the newsroom?”
I worry that they are making a big mistake. A physical newsroom sends a powerful message to a community: “We are here for you.” At my first job, strangers could walk fight though the door and straight up my desk. We treasured that visibility.
But I also think about the collaboration (合作)-of the times I would overhear colleagues talking about a story and realize that I had some useful information for them. Sometimes, a colleague would see me in the hall and give me a story idea. I can’t wait to get back to my newsroom.
【1】How did the author benefit from her second newsroom?
A．She overcame her shyness.
B．She made her best friends there.
C．She could overhear others’ argument.
D．She gained experience from her colleagues.
【2】What does the underlined part “this success” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A．Journalists worked effectively at home.
B．Newspaper circulation was increasing.
C．Newspaper advertising was profitable.
D．Journalism survived the pandemic.
【3】Why is the author against closing newsrooms?
A．Newsrooms serve as a close tie.
B．She will be out of work as a result.
C．Newspapers will disappear due to it.
D．It is against the will of communities.
28、 Denmark is only about half the size of South Carolina, but it produces more of its electricity from wind than any other country in the world. That's not because it's a country with particularly strong wind; it has pretty ordinary wind speeds. The reason why the Danes now get 47% of their electricity from wind, with more to come, comes down to a combination of history and policy.
First, the history: Paul la Cour was a scientist and inventor who experimented with and built early wind power machines at the start of the 20th century. So it's not surprising that Denmark spent money building wind power plants early, beginning at a national level in the 1970s. In the 1980s, because of a strong movement against nuclear （原子核的）power plants, Denmark increased production before many other countries were even considering it.
Denmark has also had important government support for wind-energy projects, as well as support from the country 's technology-focused universities. Even back in 2002, the country was taking climate change warnings seriously, successfully cutting greenhouse gas emissions （排放）by 20%.
Some of the world's largest companies—including Vestas, which builds turbines （(涡轮）， and Orsted, which specializes in offshore wind projects—are Danish. European countries are global leaders in using wind power but Denmark is far in front of its nearest competitor Ireland, which sourced 28% of its power from wind in 2018 according to industry group Wind Europe.
At the end of 2019, lawmakers in Denmark set a new goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 70% by 2030 and increase the share of electricity sourced from renewable power to 100%.
【1】What do we know about Denmark from Paragraph 1?
A.It produces more than half of its electricity from wind.
B.It makes the most of its wind to produce electricity .
C.It is the most environmentally friendly country.
D.It is a country with rich wind resources.
【2】What is the key message of Paragraph 2?
A.Denmark started making use of wind power very early .
B.Paul la Cour built wind power plants in the whole country.
C.Nuclear power plants produce most electricity in Denmark.
D.Denmark taught other countries to build wind power plants.
【3】Some large companies are mentioned to show that Denmark .
A.has an influential role on the world stage
B.has many technology-focused companies
C.is the head office of many large companies
D.is the world's leading wind power country
【4】In which part of a newspaper can you read the text?
A.History. B.Lifestyle. C.Environment. D.Society.
29、 World Consumer Rights Day is celebrated annually by consumer organizations worldwide.It honours the historic declaration on March 15,1962 by John F.Kennedy,the former US President,of the basic rights of consumers,which include:”the right to safety”“the right to be informed”“the right to choose”,and “the right to be heard”.

In recent years , progress has been made for recognition and protection of consumer rights in developing countries. At least, March 15 is a day when consumers are filled with pride and satisfaction. However , there are many reports on violation of consumer rights by unethical( 不 道 德 的 ) marketing practices.
【1】When was World Consumer Rights Day first celebrated?
A.On March 15,1962. B.On March 15,1983. C.On March 15,1985. D.On March 15,1986.

A.Four. B.Six. C.Eight. D.Ten.
【3】The underlined phrase “taking off” in the second paragraph probably means .
A.becoming popular B.removing quickly C.flying away D.leaving soon
【4】What can be inferred from the passage?

As a language arts teacher, I think it my duty to teach my kids how to use our tools of words well. Use your tool right—this is what I always tell them. But I never expected to learn that lesson from them.
I clearly remembered it was my 40th birthday. On that day, my sixth-grade students were seated in a large circle, each holding a different tool in their hand—a hammer, a flashlight, a screwdriver, etc. The students discussed how words are like tools—they have the ability to build or to destroy, and they discovered how the right tool used at the right time for the right job can bring about great results. They freely shared personal stories of how they had experienced someone’s words used as a tool, to wound or to heal.
I watched and listened with a sense of satisfaction—the students were engaged, attentive, and enjoying the lesson. They got it! It was one of those times when I sat back and enjoyed the magic of being a teacher—to have the opportunity to watch young people discover a greater truth about life about each other, and about themselves. There was no better gift than that.
As we neared the end of that school day, one of my students, Laura, had an unexpected outburst of defiance(违抗) in class. Busy scribbling (涂画) in her exercise book, she refused to work with her group. I was aware from reading Laura's file that she had struggled with defiant behavior in previous years, but we had developed a good relationship and she was always a respectful, thoughtful, and positive contributor to our class. Her behavior caught me off guard. “I'm disappointed in you!" With a sharp tone, I asked her to excuse herself and told her I would visit with her in our next-door meeting room after school. She refused to leave and sat silently, staring at me angrily from the back of the room.

39、阅读下列短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Cloning has always been with us and is here to stay. It is a way of making an exact copy of another animal or plant. It happens in plants when gardeners take cuttings from growing plants to make new ones. It also happens in animals when twins identical in sex (性别) and appearance are produced from the same original eggs. The fact is that these are both examples of natural clones.
Cloning has two major uses. Firstly, gardeners use it all the time to produce commercial quantities of plants. Secondly, it is valuable for research on new plant species and for medical research on animals. Cloning plants is simple while cloning animals is very complicated. It is a difficult task to undertake. Many attempts to clone mammals failed. But at last the determination and patience of scientists paid off in 1996 with a breakthrough—the cloning of Dolly the sheep.
On the one hand, the whole scientific world followed the process of the first successful clone, Dolly the sheep. The fact that she seemed to develop normally was very encouraging. Then came the disturbing news that Dolly had become seriously ill. Cloning scientists were depressed to find that Dolly’s illnesses were more appropriate to a much older animals. Altogether Dolly lived six and a half years, half the length of the original sheep.
On the other hand, Dolly’s appearance raised a storm of objection and had a great influence on the media and public imagination. It became controversial. It suddenly opened everybody’s eyes to the possibility of using cloning to cure serious illnesses and even to produce human being.
Governments became nervous and more conservative (保守的). Some began to reform their legal systems and forbade research into human cloning, but other countries like China and UK, continued to accumulate evidence of the abundant medical aid that cloning could provide. However, scientists still wonder whether cloning will help or harm us and where it is leading us.
