1．Caribou Math Competition
Participants：2nd graders ～ high school students
Cash Prizes：Yes
The Caribou Math Competition is the only worldwide math competition that is held totally online.This contest is held six times throughout the school year，and students that complete all six tests can compete for the Caribou Cup.Each contest engages students in 60 minutes of math puzzles，interactive questions，and a wide variety of problem-solving activities.
Not only is the Caribou Math Competition open to international participants，it also offers contests to elementary （小學(xué)） through high school students.The high school level Caribou Math Contests are divided into two age-based categories.Grades 9 and 10 participate in the same contests，and grades 11 and 12 participate in the same contests.
Cash prizes are given out to the top performing students and schools in the Caribou Cup after the final contest each year，which is held in May.Students are ranked based on the total of their top scores in five out of the six contests.A student's cash prize amount is determined based on their percentage score multiplied by a set dollar amount based on their ranking.Here's how that is calculated：
?1st place student： ﹩100 × percentage score
?2nd place student： ﹩75 × percentage score
?3rd place student： ﹩50 × percentage score
?4th and on： ﹩30 × percentage score

2．Do you remember the name of your kindergarten teacher？I do．Her name was Mrs．White．I don't remember much about what we learned in her class，but my mother once told me we used to write a lot．And I would bring back what I wrote and she would see there were so many mistakes．But no red corrections．And always a star．Sometimes even a Good!That would make my heart soar with happiness．But it worried my mother，so when she went to meet Mrs．White for one of those Parent-Teacher meetings，she asked her why she never corrected my mistakes，why she never red-penciled in the fight spellings of words or pointed out grammatical errors．
Mrs．White explained the children were just beginning to get excited about using words，about forming sentences．She didn't want to dampen that enthusiasm with red ink．Spelling and grammar could wait．The wonder of worm wouldn't…And maybe she didn't say it exactly like that，but I grew up learning to use words with loving confidence like that．
I look back now and think she must have been a rather extraordinary teacher -to allow the joy，wonder and excitement of expression to flower-however faultily like that．
I used to misspell "beautiful" a lot．Never could I quite remember that the "e" went before the "a"．Eventually the e's and a's settled into their right places of their own accord．I'm glad I didn't wait on them though．Pretty is easier to spell but it doesn't hold as much as you mean sometimes．
And thanks to Mrs．White，I had no qualms about writing what I meant even if I couldn't quite spell it out．Because Life isn't Pretty．It's Beautiful．
（1）How did the mother react to Mrs．White's teaching method？
A．She paid no attention．
B．She tried to correct it．
C．She quarreled with her．
D．She went to consult her．
（2）Why did the teacher never correct the mistakes？
A．She wanted parents to help the students．
B．She thought it was difficult to correct them．
C．She hoped to develop students' confidence．
D．She wanted to strengthen teacher-student relationship．
（3）What does the underlined word "qualm" in the last paragraph refer to？

B．Concern．
C．Patience．
D．Ambition．
（4）What is the best title for the text？
A．Life Is Beautiful
B．No Pains，No Gains
C．Practice Makes Perfect

3．Social distancing，as smart as it maybe to stop COVID-19 spreading，has cost us a lot during the past year.Luckily，we're resilient （能復(fù)原的）.It's time，finally，for a great，big hug.
"Hugs area really powerful way of reminding people that they're cared about，" says professor Michael Murphy at Texas Tech University. "When we're born，we're placed in our mother's arms almost immediately.In that first year of our life，we spend a lot of time being held by other people.And as we grow up，we seek out hugs and touches as a way of connection.I think what has been lost in this past year are these really easy opportunities to be reminded of connection."
Murphy was the lead author of a hug-centered 2018 article.In a series of interviews with adults，the researchers found that receiving a hug is connected with the reduction of negative mood that occurs on days with interpersonal conflict （沖突）.
Other papers have found similarly that hugs aren't just reserved for simple social greetings.Hugs and other forms of physical touch can change a person's moods and offer emotional support.A 2006 study showed that simply holding hands with each other helped calm the brain's reactions to the possible threat.
Researchers still have plenty of questions about how hugs work：Are all hugs alike？How do different cultures around the worldview the worth of hugging？The answers may not be clear yet.But for now，it's time to get back to a good hug. "There are many people who have been fully vaccinated （接種疫苗的）.They are enjoying their hugs with their friends and family members who are also vaccinated，" Murphy says. "I think there's a lot of thirst there."
（1）What could physical touch serve as in the 2006 study？
A．Negative reactions.
B．Social greetings.
C．Emotional support.
D．Potential threat.
（2）What do the papers and research mentioned in the text ty to show？
A．Our strong wish for hugging.
B．The power of hugging and touch.
C．Our physical reactions to hugging.
D．The different forms of physical touch.
（3）What can we know from the passage？
A．All hugs are alike.
B．Hugs can hardly change a person's moods.
C．All the citizens have been fully vaccinated.
D．Researchers are still uncertain about how hugs work.
（4）Which of the following would Murphy agree with？
A．Hugs are the most common form of touch.
B．Hugs cannot be stopped by social distancing.
C．Hugs can reduce negative influences of personal conflicts.
D．Hugs are of greater importance to children than to adults.組卷：1引用：2難度：0.6 -
4．New research shows that people with blue eyes have a single，common ancestor.A team at University of Copenhagen have tracked down a genetic mutation （突變） which took place 6，000—10，000 years ago and is the cause of the eye colour of all blue-eyed humans alive on the planet today.
"Originally，we all had brown eyes，" said Professor Hans Eiberg. "But a genetic mutation affecting the OCA2 gene （基因） in our body resulted in the creation of a switch，which could turn off the ability to produce brown eyes." The OCA2 gene codes for the so-called P protein （蛋白質(zhì)），which is involved in the production of melanin （黑色素）.It gives colour to our hair，eyes and skin.
The switch does not，however，turn off the gene entirely，but rather limits its action to reducing the production of melanin in the eyeball-effectively turning brown eyes to blue.The effect of the switch on OCA2 is very specific therefore.If the OCA2 gene had been completely destroyed or turned off，human beings would be without melanin in their hair，eyes or skin colour.
Change in the colour of the eyes from brown to green can all be explained by the amount of melanin in the eyeball，but blue-eyed individuals only have a small degree of change in the amount of melanin in their eyes. "From this we can conclude that all blue-eyed individuals are linked to the same ancestor，" said Professor Eiberg. "They have all inherited （繼承） the same switch at exactly the same spot in their DNA." Brown-eyed individuals，by contrast，have considerable individual change in the area of their DNA that controls melanin production.
The mutation of brown eyes to blue represents neither a positive nor a negative mutation.It is one of several mutations such as hair colour，baldness，and beauty spots，which neither increases nor reduces a human's chance of survival.As Professor Eiberg says， "it simply shows that nature is constantly affecting the human gene and trying out different changes as it does so."
（1）What is the finding of Professor Hans Eiberg's team？
A．The eye color can be changed by adjusting genes today.
B．The eye color can help discover where people's ancestors were.
C．A genetic mutation leads to the change of people's eye color.
D．Blue-eyed people have survived due to their special genes.
（2）What can we learn about "the switch" from Paragraph 3？
A．It can be limited by other genes.
B．It helps produce less melanin.
C．It helps OCA2 function in our body.
D．It produces melanin directly.
（3）Why can we conclude all blue-eyed individuals are linked to the same ancestor？
A．They have almost the same gene.
B．They have more change in gene.
C．They have more melanin in their eyes.
D．They have a small degree of change.
（4）What does the last paragraph want to tell us？
A．Nature affects our genes.
B．Only the fittest can survive.
C．We are decided by our genes.
D．Some genetic mutations are pointless.組卷：7引用：2難度：0.5

5．Each year，the US Social Security Administration releases a list of the most popular baby names of the year.Nearly every citizen is registered （登記） with the organization，making it easy to create an accurate list.
（1）For example，names such as Dorothy （for girls） and Walter （for boys） were popular in the 1910s.But these days，these names are considered to be old-fashioned.（2）Other examples of old-fashioned names include Gladys and Ethel （for girls） and Howard and Clarence （for boys）.
The list also shows which names are most common during a certain decade.（3）It happens to be my name.
But some more unusual names have increased in popularity in recent years.From 2016 to 2017，the names "Wells" and "Kairo" （for boys） and "Ensley" and "Oaklynn" （for girls） all became more popular.But these names are still quite rare compared to more ordinary names.
（4）For example，the name "Isabella" saw a huge jump in popularity in 2009.This was because of the success of the Twilight film series，in which one of the main characters is named Isabella.（5）
A.Even pop culture can influence how popular names become.
B.Some even refer to them as "old people names".
C.Picking a name for their baby is often a headache for parents.
D.The list shows that society and culture change overtime.
E.It has been one of the most popular names in the US for almost a century.
F.For example，in the 1980s，when I was born，the most common name was Michael.
G.But it's ordinary names like John and Jane that have always been popular and probably always will be.組卷：1引用：2難度：0.5
