A single fingerprint can distinguish whether someone has recently touched cocaine or actually ingested (吞下) it. This test can be completed in less than 2 minutes, far quicker than blood tests, and could be used for forensic (法庭的) investigations or drug testing.
Melanie Bailey at the University of Surrey in the UK and her colleagues have developed a technique that
25
detects trace amounts of cocaine, as well as signs of cocaine use, on human skin.
"You can use it to say either somebody's touched the drug or they've ingested it," says Bailey.
As well as cocaine, the test picks up on a molecule called benzoylecgonine, which is excreted (分泌) through the skin after a person has taken cocaine. The chemical is also present as an impurity in some street samples of cocaine. “Benzoylecgonine in street cocaine actually washes off the fingers," says Bailey.
But a person who has ingested cocaine will continue to excrete the molecule through their sweat, so even after washing their hands it is detectable in a fingerprint.
Bailey and her team took fingerprints from people who had touched samples of cocaine of 99 per cent purity as well as street samples that were far less pure. They took fingerprints immediately after the drug had been handled and again after participants had washed their hands. They also took fingerprints from 26 people at a drug rehabilitation (康复) clinic who reported taking cocaine in the past 24 hours.
For the test, the individual presses their finger onto a piece of specialised paper for 10 seconds. The paper is then analysed using a technique called mass spectrometry to detect the presence of cocaine or benzoylecgonine.
In the 86 samples, the fingerprinting technique was 95 per cent accurate. The team found that detection was possible up to 48 hours after contact or ingestion.
Unlike blood test, which are the current standard for testing cocaine use, the fingerprint analysis can be completed in less than 2 minutes.
The technique is now commercial available and could be used for drug testing "If someone’s ingested cocaine, you wouldn’t want them to fly a plane or drive a bus," says Bailey.
58. What is one of the advantages of this fingerprint technique?
A. It requires much less testing time.
B. It helps to get rid of waste material.
C. It promises a 100 percent accuracy.
D. It causes the crime rate to decrease.

https://www.newscientist.com/article/2232622-a-fingerprint-can-show-if-someone-has-taken-cocaine-or-just-touched-it/
【文章大意】首先在第一段就介绍了指纹检测的作用，然后以研究者团队的关于指纹检测可卡因的实验来具体介绍这项技术的内容和应用范围。
25

59. What is the core of Bailey and her team's study?
A. Collecting samples of cocaine of 99% purity.
B. Pressing fingers onto specialised paper for 10 seconds.
C. Comparing and analyzing different sorts of fingerprint data.
D. Taking fingerprints from 26 people taking cocaine in the past 24 hours.
【答案】C
【解析】根据第六段可知Bailey团队采集了不同纯度的样本共86个，并进行立即检测和洗手后检测的对照实验，以及从戒毒所服用过cocaine的人身上提取指纹，最后通过比对数据得出结论，故这是Bailey团队的研究核心，选C。A项只是样本中的一种，排除；B项是实验的一个步骤，排除。D项也是样本来源之一，排除。
60. Where can this technique be applied?
A. Treating drug patients.
B. Identifying drug driving.
C. Purifying cocaine.
D. Promoting the commercial market.
【答案】B
【解析】定位到最后一段"The technique is now commercially available and could be used for drug testing."可知此项技术被应用于药物检测，以及后面一句"如果有人吸食了可卡因，你不会希望他们驾驶飞机或公共汽车”，也就是说，毒驾是可以被这项技术检验出来的，故选B。

Many have celebrated this milestone as proof that women are inching toward equality in the workplace. After all, a symbol of women's equality in America has always been increased via labor force participation.
For women in today's economy, however, increased employment also carries an increased burden. Women

earn less, have less flexibility in terms of their work schedules to meet caretaking demands, and are more likely to experience discrimination based on gender or sexual harassment than their male counterparts (相同的人物) in the workforce.
Women earn less than men in nearly every occupation for which there is available data. If we do nothing, women will not reach economic equality with men until 2059. For women of color, it will take more than a century: 2130 for black women and 2224 for Hispanic women (those from Latin America). This means women will have to work longer or hold multiple jobs to make ends meet and to care for their families.
Increased employment among women has not translated into less work at home. Many women in the workforce are sill primarily responsible for the lion's share of housework and caretaking responsibilities compared with men.
A new study by Oxfam America-Institute for Women's Policy Research finds that women in the United States spend 37% more time on household and care work than their male counterparts, limiting career choices and economic mobility, and affecting their overall health and wellbeing
Black and Hispanic women spend nearly twice as much time on unpaid housework and caretaking demands as their male counterparts.
Much has been made about our strong economy as measured by how well the stock market performs and low unemployment. There’s no doubt the increase in workforce participation among women will help boost this narrative (叙述). However it does not mean that women are more economically secure.
In today's economy, working and middle-class families continue to struggle with rising housing and health care costs, stagnant (停滞的) wages and a shift to a technology-driven economy fueled by automation and the loss of manufacturing jobs. These trends have an extreme impact on women.
61. Why have people celebrated women's taking up more than half of the workforce?
A. Because women are likely to replace men in some fields.
B. Because that is the symbol of labor force participation.
C. Because it indicates more equality for women at workplace.
D. Because the data was released from the Department of Labor.

D
My father died when I was four years old. He was only 27 and had been working as an assistant city lawyer in Reno, Nevada, for two years. I only mention that last part because it meant he wasn't entitled to the state employees' pension, so my mom didn't get any survivor's benefits. She was 28, pregnant with my younger sister, and unemployed. She'd been forced out of her job as a speech therapist. In the early 1970s, the majority of U.S. school districts forced pregnant women to take unpaid leave, or just fired them when their “condition" became obvious. Even today, women still aren't equal to men in these 16 ways.
I don't have a lot of specific memories from that time, but I do remember two moments from these terrible months very clearly. One was my mother telling me that my father had died. I wept, understanding that this meant we could no longer be with him, but I wondered if maybe we could phone him. "By long-distance," I suggested. When my mom finally shook her head no, I knew something no child should ever know. Anything can happen.
The other thing I remember happened shortly after my sister was born. While she nursed, I was tight at my mother's side. “We'll be okay," my mom said. “I can work." It didn't matter that I had the only the vaguest conception of what "work" was ... something parents did while kids were at preschool? I'd been hopelessly sinking and, magically, a floatie appeared.
Three months after my sister was born, a speech therapist's position in the local school district opened, and my mother got the job. Somehow, that spring, we moved out of my father's childhood bedroom- which my mom, sister, and I had been sharing at my paternal grandparents home since my dad had died- -and into our own little house. The next fall, I started kindergarten, walking to a neighborhood school with a little posse (一群人), just like a normal kid.
By that fall, my mom was not only working full-time during the day, but also taking classes in the evening, so she could qualify for a higher salary with her school district, and working extra jobs. My mom working 80+ hours a week wasn't easy or pleasant. My sister and I were tossed (扔) from grandparents to friends' moms to babysitters to corners of rooms where our mother was teaching. Our house was a mess. I got scolded by teachers for failing to return field-trip permission slips. My mother was often exhausted- and exhaustion made her no fun at best, scary at worst. But I also learned the most important lesson of my life: Work = survival.
25
Like most girls who grew up in the 1950s, my mother never expected to have a “career." She went to college because that's what the daughters of upwardly mobile families (or those, like my mother’s, hoping to become upwardly mobile) did. In other words, university campuses were where the best potential husbands were. My mom studied education because it was a major her father deemed (认为) appropriate for a young lady. Though the job didn't fascinate my mom at all, she was proud that she could motivate kids to do the repetitive, boring, sometimes really hard exercises that enable them to express themselves clearly.
I've been far more fortunate than my mother. I grew up in an era in which American girls were encouraged to have professional dreams- -huge ones. While I was in high school, Sally Ride became the first American female astronaut, Sandra Day O'Connor became the first female U.S. Supreme Court Justice, and Congresswoman Geraldine Ferraro became the first woman to be a candidate for Vice President on a major party ticket. These are just a few of the moments that changed women's history forever.
65. Why did the author mention her late father?
A. To claim survivor's benefits for her mother.
B. To express her deep love for her late father.
C. To describe how hard her mom was struggling.
D. To underline how unfairly her mom was treated.

第II卷(两部分，共35分)
第四部分 任务型阅读 (共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分)
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意:每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题纸上相应题号的横线上。
Emissions are gases and other particles (微粒) that are released into the atmosphere as a result of burning fuels and other processes. The most common types generally come from automobiles, power plants, and industrial companies. The results of too many emissions being released into the atmosphere are poor air quality, global warming, and heavy pollution.
Humans contribute to most air emissions although some animals such as livestock do contribute to a portion of carbon dioxide into the air through digestive process. Despite stricter clean air guidelines, the United States has the highest level of human emissions in the world. This is followed by other industrialized nations like Japan, England, and so on. Many nations are developing rapidly, thus increasing the problem of greenhouse gas emissions in certain areas. The increase in emissions brought about by the introduction of the automobile and fossil fuel power has led to government-mandated (政府强制的) restrictions on companies and car manufacturers. And measures have been taken to help improve air quality and cut down on greenhouse gases. This is a good start, but it is only one step in the right direction.
The most common emissions released by both human beings and through natural sources are carbon dioxide, methane gas, nitrous oxide, halocarbon, and hexafluoride. Most of them are found in nature but have increased in quantity with the regular burning of fossil fuels. Ozone is another emission that comes as a result of man-made gases combined with natural ones.
As more is learned about global warming and climate change, environmental groups and some government agencies are trying to find new ways to prevent these things from happening. Technologies which make cars and trucks run without the use of fossil fuels are now available in many areas, and solar energy has become a popular power source in many homes and businesses. If used by many people, these things could truly cut down on the amount of emissions produced by humans each year.
25
Clean energy solutions are the best way to stop this problem from getting worse. Clean energy refers to any energy source that does not emit poisonous gases in the air. Most forms of clean energy are also sustainable, meaning that they never run out. The most common sources of clean energy include solar energy and wind energy. Both are becoming widely available for everyday consumers, as well as affordable.

Despite the prejudice against it, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which has won a place in the world with its long history and great contributions, proves effective in battling COVID-19 and deserves promotion.
Admittedly, traditional Chinese Medicine is of great cultural and practical value. For one thing, TCM reflects the essence of our ancestors’wisdom. Advocating it can boost our cultural confidence. For another, TCM treats emerging infections such as COVID-19 effectively. Meanwhile, taking acupuncture for example, the WHO recommends it as a good treatment for over forty medical problems.
We Chinese should make great efforts to preserve our culture by promoting TCM. To begin with, campaigns about TCM may be launched by local communities or medical institutions to educate people on the effects of TCM. Plus, governments should invest more in the development of the TCM at home and abroad. When the doubts about it fade away, the world will embrace it.
