2．17-year-old Dasia Taylor was named one of 40 finalists in the Regeneron Science Talent Search （STS），the nation's most famous Science and math competition for high school seniors.
Dasia's sutures （縫合線） work by changing color if the patients' pH level changes，indicating an infection.pH is one of the most common parts of wound healing，Dasia said.It changes very quickly，so it's one of the fastest ways to recognize infection.
So，she started experimenting with root vegetables. "I found that beet changed color at the perfect pH point，" says Taylor. "That's perfect for an infected wound.And so，I was like，'Oh，okay.So beet is where it's at'." Beet provided the perfect dye for her invention，changing from bright red to dark purple when a surgical wound becomes infected.After more than a year of research，Taylor is working on getting her sutures patented.
She imagines these sutures being used in developing countries where they can save lives and money. "The goal of my project is to reduce the number of deadly surgical site infections in developing countries because developing countries suffer from the most number of deaths due to surgical site infections，" she said. "I was like there is no way that that should be happening.The equity part of my brain and all the work that I do around equity was like 'That shouldn't be happening.They should have the resources to save their citizens in their country.' So，my goal is to work on that and make sure that it can actually discover those types of infections and stuff." After graduation，Dasia hopes to attend Howard University，study political science and finally become a lawyer.
（1）How can a patient quickly know if a wound is infected？
A．By observing the pH test paper.
B．Through the doctors' examination.
C．By looking at sutures' color changing.
D．By observing how the wound changes.
（2）What did Dasia discover in her experiment？
A．Beet has the same pH level.
B．Beet can change color at different times.
C．Beet therapy is good for wound healing.
D．Beet can be used to help her with the invention.
（3）What can we learn about Dasia？
A．She has won the invention patent.
B．She became the winner of the Regeneron STS.
C．She made contributions to surgical infection recognition.
D．She helped save lots of lives and money in developing countries.
（4）What will Dasia's future career probably involve？
A．Medical and health work.
B．Medical device development.
C．Something about the legal aid.
D．Medical and science research.組卷：2引用：5難度：0.5 -
3．While the arts can't stop the COVID-19 virus or the social unrest we see in the world today，they can give us insight into the choices we make when moving through crises and chaos.The arts invite everyone to think in new ways.
We often experience works of art as something that's pleasing to our senses without a full understanding of the creative effort.Great art often shows us contradictions and crises，and we can learn a great deal from their resolutions.Through our understanding of art，we can gain a deeper understanding of how we might overcome our own challenges.In understanding extremes of contrast，we can see the beauty in art with themes that are not simply pleasing for their magnificent features or qualities.
Beethoven offers a wonderful example of moving artfully through crises and chaos.He composed his Symphony No.9 as his hearing loss became more and more pronounced.The opening of the symphony seems to come out of nowhere，from near silence in the opening to a full expression of what many consider to be the joy of freedom and universal brotherhood with Schiller's Ode to joy （歡樂(lè)頌）.Beethoven appears to have created a work of art that not only freed him from his personal struggles，but one that also speaks to the joy of living together in peace and harmony.
Have a dialogue between the two opposing parts and you will find that they always start out fighting each other until we come to an appreciation of difference-a oneness of the two opposing forces.The arts offer many lessons that can help us gain the knowledge we need to move more confidently in today's competitive and uncertain environment.An openness to arts-based solutions will give you more control over your future.
（1）What value does art have beyond pleasing people's senses？
A．It brings people inner peace.
B．It contributes to problem-solving.
C．It reduces the possibility of crises.
D．It deepens understanding of challenges.
（2）What can we learn about Beethoven's Symphony No.9？
A．It celebrates freedom and unity.
B．It aims to show crises and chaos.
C．It opens with Schiller's Ode to Joy.
D．It is unfinished due to his hearing loss.
（3）What is the author's suggestion on dealing with conflicting forces？
A．Leaving things as they are.
B．Making a choice between them.
C．Separating them from each other.
D．Engaging them in a conversation.
（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？
A．How COVID-19 changes art.
B．Moving artfully through crises.
C．Essentials of Symphony No.9.
D．How to appreciate arts in new ways.組卷：0引用：4難度：0.6

9．The buzzing cellphone threw Mike out of bed.Blue Monday again!He parted the curtain and grey skies greeted him.This worsened his mood.But as sweet smile spread over his face when he saw Helen sleeping soundly like a Snow White.
Opening the door gently，Mike walked outside and into the kjye.aichen.It was a routine for him to cook breakfast early，for both he and his wife，Helen，were high school English teachers.Although they were already 52 years old，they always attended the first period starting at 7：30 on time，rain or shine.We can call them "empty nesters"，with their two kids Catherine and Amanda in key universities in Yorkshire.Two bottles of hot milk，two boiled eggs and pieces of bread were their calories.Then Mike awoke Helen，who was a great beauty even compared with the Helen in the Trojan War.
They finished their breakfast quickly before going downstairs to their car.With a turn of the key，the engine roared to life.It was shaking a little，as if feeling cold.The drive from home to school took roughly 30 minutes and Mike was driving fast，for there was little traffic. "Beautiful stars，huh？ " Mike said. "Yeah.When we are off work，beautiful stars will swim in front of eyes! " Helen replied jokingly.Teaching so many students was indeed a back-breaking job，especially for teachers of advanced years.
They arrived at the already crowded parking lot in the school.Finding a place to squeeze the car in，Mike was going when Helen reminded him that today was her birthday. "Oh，dear，I forgot it!I will make up with a big dinner， " Mike said apologetically and warmly.When she heard this，Helen's face lit up and blossomed into a big smile.
