Fleanor Love knows that weddings create a lot of leftover flowers. That means more opportunities for her to collect after-wedding bouquets (花束) and give them to her lonely hospital 21 , many of whom don't often have visitors, let alone expensive 22 .
The flowers are still in good shape, and the patients are pleased to have them. “I was so 23 that I cried,” said patient Connie Melzer, who was recovering from a heart problem when Love walked into her room with a bouquet in early2020.
Love worked at the Virginia Commonwealth University Hospital as a(n) 24student. She wondered how she could help 25 the patients' suffering besides learning how to treat them as a student doctor.
“One of the 26 of being a medical student is that it can be very difficult to 27 to the care team,” said Love. “ You are there as a learner, who doesn't have as much knowledge as doctors. But you want to 28 your patients. How can I at this stage in my training make a(n) 29 for them ”
In 2019, she started The Simple Sunflower in Richmond, and so far has 30more than 760 bouquets to patients. She brought fellow students and other people into her project, and now has more than 200 31 on the email list.
When Love began the project, she called businesses such as wedding venues(场馆) and florists and asked them what events were scheduled. She then reached out to brides and grooms to ask them if they had 32 for their flowers after the big day.
For each wedding, she organized a team of eight people who helped 33the flowers when the party was over and then spent time carrying them to individual patients.
People beyond the VCU community have heard about Love's project and become part of it. “Once the word got out, people around the city started 34us,”Love said. She wanted to bring the project to more cities and maybe open branches at other medical schools.
“I feel 35 when I see the patients who receive our bouquets,” she said. “It reminds me why we do what we do.”
21. A. patients B. cleaners C. doctors D. nurses
22. A. cards B. fruits C. flowers D. cakes
23. A. tired B. moved C. worried D. bored
24. A. art B. law C. engineering D. medical
25. A. change B. accept C. improve D. reduce
26. A. dreams B. skills C. challenges D. exams
27. A. listen B. contribute C. respond D. adapt
28. A. help B. check C. study D. guide
29. A. difference B. choice C. impression D. decision
30. A. divided B. thrown C. delivered D. applied
31. A. customers B. volunteers C. managers D. teachers
32. A. means B. goals C. efforts D. plans

When the COVID-19 pandemic forced the town in Manton, Michigan to shut down, Scott Chittle decided that the community needed a safe place to come together, and something to bring some joy during the boring winter months. And what is a better outdoor activity to get people outside in the cold than ice skating
In order to make his dream a reality, Chittle searched the Internet for videos on how to build an ice rink(溜冰场). He ordered a large 3,000 square foot tarp(防水帆布) online and bought some wood to create the walls. It took 12 fire trucks from the local fire department to get enough water to fill the plot.
It took a little time as Chittle went door to door to convince people to come and see his creation, and soon Chittle's backyard ice rink became a Manton hotspot. Parents joined in to help Chittle buy second-hand skates and hockey sticks for the neighborhood children. Soon enough, the children were skating and shooting.
“We kept seeing more things donated. It was fantastic because the whole community just came together. It was amazing how everybody worked together because of Scott.” says neighbor Audrey Hooker.
Skaters were welcome to come at any time. And each Saturday from 4 p. m. until 8 p. m., dozens of children and their parents gathered at the ice rink for skate parties. The children who had been confined to their homes for almost a year laughed and shouted with joy while skating around the rink. Parents gathered around feeling relief that their children had found a purpose again. It became a weekly event that neighbors could look forward to and it offered a place for people to see each other in a socially distanced way.
But the kindness didn't stop with Chittle. When the community heard how much money he used to make this project happen, everyone helped. A fundraiser brought in about $1,300, and letters sent to Chittle's home stuffed with cash brought in an additional $1,500, covering all of the costs with money to panies began sending supplies for next year's ice rink including outdoor lights, a snow sweeping machine and shovels.
“This has been a community thing,” explains Chittle. “It's not just me. I want to show the rest of the world what a little effort, the best intentions, and community can do not only for others but for the souls of all.”

How Your Weekly Shop Could Help Prevent a Mass Extinction
All around the world, the way in which we produce, buy and eat food has never been more similar. You may think you have more choices than your parents or grandparents ever did, and on one level that is true. Wherever you are, you can eat various foods all in a single day.
What we're being offered appears at first to be diverse, until you realise it is the same kind of “diversity” that is spreading around the globe in the same way; what the world buys and eats is becoming more and more the same. Of the 6,000plant species humans have eaten over time, we now mainly grow and eat just nine. What's less well known is that for each of the crops, we're eating from a smaller number of varieties. Thousands of different wheats exist, but less than 10 make it onto the “recommended list” issued to British farmers. It's a similar story with the meat we eat.
This relatively recent phenomenon (现象) of eating from such a narrow selection of plants and animals, and just a few varieties of these, has resulted in a serious loss of diversity in farmers’ fields and in our diets and a great loss of biodiversity.
In the 20th century, efforts were made to produce more calories (卡路里) to feed growing populations, but in search of quantity, we gave up diversity. Crops and farm animals unique to their part of the world became endangered; some even went extinct(灭绝). When a food is lost, we risk not only losing a special flavour, but also a way of life and part of a culture. We also lose choices for the future.
Faced with the growing impact of climate change and extreme weather events, we can add greater resilience (快速恢复能力) to our food system by saving diversity. But as the world farms and eats in increasingly similar ways, more foods are at risk of disappearing. We all have a part to play in preventing this from happening, wherever we are in the world, and it starts with what we put in our shopping baskets.
Still unsure where to start Focus on one of your favourite foods and start to explore it in all its diversity. Whether that's chocolate, coffee, cheese or wine, find as much variation as you can, set off on a flavour adventure and help save something from extinction.
43. According to the passage, people may believe that .
A. our choices of food are more than those of early generations
B. our ways of food production are never similar to one another
C. what we plant stays the same around the world
D. what we eat is becoming increasingly popular
44. How does the writer prove his idea in Paragraph 2
A. By using data. B. By describing a scene.
C. By telling a story. D. By sharing experiences.
45. According to the writer, what might be the cause of the loss of biodiversity
A. Climate. B. Business.
C. Population. D. Technology.
46. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. Why to start. B. Where to shop.
C. What to eat. D. How to help.

If there is one place you don't want to stick your finger, it's the mouth of a Pacific lingcod. These fearsome fish have around 500 needlelike teeth sticking out of jaws(颌) that are strong enough to crush crustaceans(甲壳动物).
How lingcod maintain the sharpness of their terrifying teeth has long been a puzzle. But a study, published in November in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B. claims that Pacific lingcod keep their teeth sharp and shiny by replacing about three percent of them every day. For a lingcod, that's up to 20 teeth replaced daily.
In order to determine the frequency at which lingcod replace their teeth, Ms. Cohen, a coauthor of the new study, and her colleagues kept 20 lingcod at the University of Washington's Friday Harbor Laboratories and tracked how many teeth they lost and regrew over several days. The fish were placed in a tank of seawater mixed with a red dye(染料) that colored their teeth, then returned to their regular tank for 10 days. When the 10 days were up, the fish were placed in a tank containing a green dye and then examined. The teeth that were present since the start of the experiment were both red and green, whereas the new teeth were only green. After collecting and examining a total of 10,000 teeth, the scientists were able to determine how quickly lingcod lost and regrew their teeth and which teeth were
replaced most often. Lingcod, like most fish, have two sets of jaws: oral jaws and pharyngeal jaws. Their oral jaws are used to catch food while their pharyngeal jaws, which are positioned in their throats, are used to chew their food and move it from their mouths to the stomach. Ms. Carr, the lead author, and colleagues found that teeth are replaced more frequently in the back of the mouth, where most of the chewing and crushing take place.
The way lingcod replace their teeth is likely crucial to their hunting strategy, says Kory Evans, a fish ecologist at Rice University in Houston. “The duller a lingcod's teeth are, the harder it is going to be for it to hold on to its target. So having the ability to shed teeth and replace them is pretty important.” Dr. Evans said, “In order to make it as a lingcod, you need sharp point y teeth and all your teeth need to be on point.”
47. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. What role seawater played.
B. What conclusion was reached.
C. How the study was conducted.
D. How teeth changed their colors.
48. According to the passage, lingcod's teeth are replaced .
A. every 10 days B. to better hunt for food
C. faster in the oral jaw D. with bigger and sharper ones
49. What does the underlined word “shed” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Repair. B. Sharpen. C. Lose. D. Examine.
50. What is the purpose of writing this passage
A. To warn people of the danger of a fish.
B. To introduce the findings of a new study.
C. To stress the importance of replacing teeth.
D. To suggest new ways to conduct studies on fish.

51
You want to start reading and aren't quite sure where to go. 52 .It doesn't matter what form of text it is, so long as it's interesting. A good place to start is online articles. 53 .

Longer pieces of text and thick novels may seem intimidating(令人胆怯的),but an important thing to remember is that you don't have to read the whole thing in one day. 54 . Read a little every day. It doesn't matter if it's 10minutes or 30, so long as you actually sit down and read.
