States did require each townto provide a school for children, but there were not enough teachers. Most young women were not able to continue their education. If they did, they often were not taught much except the French language, how to sew clothing, and music.Mary Lyon felt that women’s education was extremely important. She believed women were teachers both in the home and in the classroom. Mary opened a school for young women in the village of Buckland. She suggested new ways of teaching, including holding discussion groups for students.Then, Mary began to raise money for her dream school for the higher education of women. This school would own its own property (财产), guided by an independent group of direction. Its finances would be the responsibility of the directors. It would not depend on any one person to continue. And, the students would share in cleaning and cooking to keep costs down. In 1837, Mary Lyon opened Mount Holyoke Seminary for Women. In 1893, 34 years after her death, under a state law, Mount Holyoke Female Seminary became the first college to offer women the same kind of education as men.Mary’s efforts led to the spread of higher education for women in the United States. Her influence lasted as the many students from her schools went out to teach others.4. What was American women’s problem with education in the 19th century?A．Teachers were careless about teaching.B．They had few choices about the subjects.C．The government paid no attention to education.D．They had no chance to continue their education.5. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A．Mary thought little of women’s education.B．Mary preferred women to be educated at home.C．Mary attached importance to women’s education.D．Group discussions were not held in Mary’s school.6. What was Mary’s dream school like?A．It would have very strict rules.B．It would be independent in finance.C．It would be owned by the government.D．It would depend on some important person.7.

Have you ever run into a careless cellphone user in the street? Maybe they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new "species" of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name—phubbers (低头族). Recently a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cellphone while letting his patient die. A pretty woman takes a selfie (自拍) in front of a car accident site. And a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events will finally lead to the destruction(毁灭) of the world.Although the ending of the film sounds unrealistic, the damage phubbing can bring is real. Your health is the first to bear the effect and the result of it. "Always bending your head to check your cellphone could damage your neck," Guangming Daily quoted doctors' words. "The neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching." Also, staring at cellphones for a long time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.But that's not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. When getting together with family or friends, many people prefer to play their cellphones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.It can also cost your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cellphones in broad daylight.8. Why does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragraph 2?A．To suggest phubbers will destroy the world.B．To call for people to go walking without phones.C．To tell people the bad effects of phubbing.D．To advise students to create more cartoons like this.9.

B．Bad effects of phubbing.C．Daily life of phubbers. D．Behaviours of phubbers.The 3D-printing industry is accelerating its efforts to help fight the new coronavirus and the disease it causes, COVID-19.On Tuesday, HP announced it’s working with those who bought its 3D printers to make medical face shields, hands-free door openers and an adjuster for face masks for medical staff who often must wear them for hours. It’s also testing “hospital-grade” face masks meeting the higher-end FFP3 (过滤式面罩) standard and parts for simple emergency ventilators (呼吸机) and it’s looking into nasal swabs to test for COVID-19 infection. HP also is offering free downloads of its 3D-printed medical equipment designs.Carbon, whose 3D printers are used to make everything from bicycle seats to teeth straighteners, said it plans to send face shield designs to its network of customers who’ve bought its 3D printers. Carbon co-founder and Executive Chairman Joseph DeSimone said on Monday the company expects to send the designs by early Tuesday.3D-printcr makers typically sell their products to others that actually do the 3D printing. One such customer, Ford, said Tuesday that it’s made 1,000 face shields and shipped them to Michigan hospitals, with plans to make 100,000 face shields a week. It is also working with 3M and General Electric on respirator masks and ventilator designs.The effort is one of several to apply 3D-printing technology to the fight against coronavirus. 3D printing isn’t as fast at churning out products as conventional mass production methods. But 3D printers are flexible and able to make many different parts anywhere there’s a printer and raw materials like the plastic resins Carbon printers use.Some 3D-printing efforts have focused on ventilators, which expected to be in short supply with a surge of COVID-19 patients suffering from respiratory (呼吸器官) problems. Also in short supply are N95 masks that can be useful in reducing the likelihood a wearer will spread COVID-19 to others.Carbon’s DeSimone is cautious about the enthusiasm, though, saying that regulatory approval is important and that 3D-printcr enthusiasts shouldn’t be making components not intended for close human contact that might release unhealthy gases.12. What is the passage mainly about?A．An introduction about 3D-printing.B．The 3D-printing industry’s efforts to hel p fight COVID-19.C．The products that 3D-printing makers sell.D．How 3D-printing makers produce medical equipment.13. HP announced to help its customers to make the following products except for_____________.A．medical face shields B．hands-free door openersC．an adjuster for face masks D．emergency ventilators14. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．Carbon’s company will finish its design after Tuesday.B．Ford has made 1,000 face shields end plans to make 10,000 more in a week.C．3D printers are more flexible than traditional mass production methods.D．Most 3D-printings focus on making ventilators and N95 because of their short supply.15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．3D-printing may release unhealthy gases.B．DeSimone is cautious about 3D-printing.C．Carbon’s company didn’t gain regulatory approval of making medical equipment.D．3D printers aren’t enthusiastic about making components designed for close human contact.Road Trip PlanningThere are so many things to consider when planning a road trip, especially if you want to make it a great one.
