But that hasnt stopped him from taking over 500 trips to the grocery store for free for seniors staying at home to avoid exposure(暴露)to C
10、OVID-19.Making deliveries(递送)is nothing new for Greg Dailey. He has risen at 4 a. m. every morning to deliver newspapers for the past 25 years. What had always been a second job has now turned into his main source of income-and a new way to be generous.It all started when an 88-year-old woman on his
11、 East Windsor route asked him to throw the newspaper closer to her door, so that she wouldnt have to walk far to get it. He obliged(施恩惠), without thinking much of it at the time. It was a few days later, in line at the grocery store, that he thought of her again.If she cant walk 20 feet to get her n
12、ewspaper, how is she getting groceries? Greg told CNN. So, I called her and asked if she needed anything. Particularly grateful for his request, she asked him to pick up one small order for her, and one for her neighbor across the street.It was then that Greg thought about the hundreds of other seni
13、or customers along his route, and how he could make a world of difference for them. So, he decided to offer his services to anyone who needs groceries, household products, etc.Grueling as it may sound, Greg says that the satisfaction keeps him from feeling tired. He hopes to reopen his frame shop, b
14、ut even so, he plans to do whatever he can to help these seniors, and he is now working with the Florida-based charity Love a Senior to start a New Jersey chapter of the organization and get others involved in his inspiring work.24.

Seniors Trapped during COVID-19 pandemicCWildfires lit by humans have been found to be sending huge amounts o
17、f carbon(碳)into our oceans via rivers every year.When trees and other vegetation(植被)are incompletely burned, they release black carbon into the air, which can last for centuries on land and even longer in oceans. Now we have the best global picture of how much of the stuff is making its way to the s
18、ea: around a third of all the black carbon produced by fires.Unlike the two-thirds that stays on the land, the carbon ending up in the oceans will stay there much longer, says Matthew Jones at the University of East Anglia in the UK. Once it reaches the oceans, it has potential for storage over tens
19、 of thousands of years. Thats why we care about it. Its almost locked up for the distant future, he says.Jones and his colleagues looked at 409 measurements of black carbon dissolved(溶解)in the waters of 34 major rivers globally, plus many smaller rivers, including far more data from the tropics(热带)t
20、han previous efforts. They then modeled how it would travel to the oceans. Its quite breathtaking how long-lived this material is and how much ends up in the environment, says Jones.The team found that the amount of black carbon being carried by rivers varies generally around the world, with the riv
21、ers in the tropics carrying twice what those in cooler, temperate regions do.When compared with emissions(排放)from humanitys fossil(化石)fuel use, the actual amount reaching the oceans is relatively small. However, says Jones, understanding how black carbon is being moved around is important for buildi
22、ng better climate models and for our understanding of the global carbon cycle.The amount being produced by fires has been relatively stable for the past two decades, with forest fires being offset(抵消)by savannah(大草原)being turned into farmland, which reduces the amount of vegetation available to burn
23、. But Jones points out that more fires are expected as the world warms, which will deliver more black carbon into the oceans.28. What happens to the black carbon produced by forest fires?A. One third stays on the land. B. It will disappear in a few years.C. Large amounts of it ends up in the ocean.
24、D. It lasts longer on the land than in the ocean.29. What can we learn from Paragraphs 4 and 5?A. The research deals with 409 rivers in all.B. The research only focus on the amount of black carbon.C. Black carbon finally ends up in the ocean by rivers.D. The rivers in the tropics has less black carb
25、on because of the temperature.30. What does Jones agree with?A. The carbon produced by humans is small.B. Better climate models will be built soon.C. The amount of carbon produced by forest fire is falling.D. The amount of carbon reaching the ocean wont he reduced.31. What is the text mainly about?A
26、. Environment. B. Science. C. Entertainment. D. Health.DShining a deep red light for three minutes a day into your eyes, even through the eyelid, can significantly improve declining(下降)eyesight, finds a new university College London-led study, the first of its kind in humans.As you age, your visual(
27、视觉的)system declines significantly, particularly once over 40, said the studys lead author Professor Glen Jeffery from the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology.At the start of the study, 24 people(12 male, 12 female)between the ages of 28 and 72 with no eye disease were tested for the sensitivity(敏感性)of th
28、eir rods and cones(视杆细胞和视锥细胞). Rod sensitivity was measured in dark adapted eyes by asking participants(参加者)to discover dark light signals, and cone function was tested by subjects identifying colored letters that had very low contrast(对比)and appeared increasingly unclear-a process called color cont
29、rast.All participants were then given a small LED torch(手电筒)to take home and were asked to look into its deep red 670nm light beam fur three minutes a day for two weeks. (Participants were free to close their eyes and place them over the devices(装置)since the red light is not filtered(过滤)by the eyeli
30、d.) They were then re-tested for their cod and cone sensitivity.The researchers found that although the 670nm light had no effect on younger individuals, significant improvements were obtained in those around 40 years old and over. Cone color contrast sensitivity(the ability to detect colors)improve
31、d by up to 20%, particularly in the blue part of the color spectrum(光谱)that is more vulnerable in aging. Rod sensitivity (the ability to see in low light) also improved significantly, though less than color contrast.Our study shows that it is possible to significantly improve vision that has decline
32、d in aged individuals by using simple brief exposures to light wavelengths that recharge the energy system that has declined in the retina(视网膜)cells, said Professor Jeffery. The technology is simple and very safe, using a deep red light of a specific wavelength that is absorbed by mitochondria(线粒体)
33、in the retina to supply energy for cellular function.32. What do we know about the study?A. 24 old people took part in the test.B. Some of the participants had eye diseases.C. All the participants were tested twice for their rod and cone sensitivity.D. The way that the sensitivity of participants ro
34、ds and cone was tested was the same.33. What does Professor Jeffery expect from their study?A. To improve declining eyesight with age. B. To cure eye diseases for the old.C. To supply energy for the elderly. D. To lengthen the lives of the elderly.34. What is the text mainly about?A. Using a LED tor
35、ch can improve the rods and cone sensitivity.B. Shining a deep red light can improve failing eyesight with age.C. Looking into a red light can keep the peoples eyes healthy.D. Light can change the declining eyesight.35. Where is the text probably taken?A. A biology textbook. B. A science magazine. C
36、. A travel brochure. D. A local newspaper.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Use a Modern Public LibraryHas it been a while since your last visit to a public library? 36 Its been years since they were dusty little rooms with books.
