West CampusBAt a time of great conflict, stress, and uncertainty in the U.S,Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away due to cancer on September 18, 2020, sending her supporters into a state of shock.Ginsburg, a beloved figure who was famous for her historic career, became a symbol for justice and dignity. Ruth Ginsburg was born on March 15, 1933 in Brooklyn, New York. She received her bachelor degree in government from Cornell University and began her law degree at Harvard University. She later transferred and completed her degree at Columbia Law School. She took on a clerkship for Judge Edmond in 1960, and between 1961 and 1963 she served as a research associate and associate director of the Columbia Law School on International Procedure.Ginsburg took a very active role in women’s rights between 1963 and 1978. During these years, between accepting teaching positions at Tulane, Rutgers, and Columbia schools of law, she co-founded the Women’s Rights Law Reporter and the Women’s Rights Project at the American Civil Liberties Union. She began serving as the ACLU’s General Counsel in 1973, and argued several cases relatin g to women’s rights. For example, in the 1971 case Reed v. Reed, the Supreme Court allowed women to fall under the Equal Protection Clause for the first time.Ginsburg was appointed to be the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit by President Jimmy Carter in 1980, where she served for 13 years. Former President Bill Clinton英语试题第4页(共11页)nominated Ginsburg to the Supreme Court in 1993, who was the second woman to become a Supreme Court Justice. Before being nominated, she was a prominent women’s righ ts advocate who fought for equal rights and constitutional protections against sex discrimination.Ginsburg suffered from various health problems between 1999 and 2009, but she did not miss a single day of court.

The Shenzhou-series manned spaceships are not suitable for lunar expeditions. We don’t have a lunar landing capsule,” he said. “Our ground support system was designed for operations in low-Earth orbit rather than on the lunar surface.To solve the problem, we set out to produce a powerful launch vehicle. Zhou said researchers thought about two approaches—making a new heavy-lift rocket, or adjusting the next-generation英语试题第5页(共11页)rocket designed to carry astronauts, which is under development. Researchers prefer the latter approach because it would be easier to design and make and would become operational earlier.The new rocket is being designed at the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology. Its main body will be 87 meters tall, with a diameter of 5 meters, which would make it almost twice as tall as the Long March 5, cu rrently the biggest of China’s rockets.28. Which is NOT the goal of the manned lunar mission?A. To explore lunar resources.B. To perform scientific experiments.C. To set up a scientific station.D. To strengthen the national space power.29. What is the main idea of paragraph 4?A. China is not capable of pursuing the manned lunar program.B. There are still difficulties in pursuing the manned lunar program.C. There are a series of steps in the Manned Lunar program.D. It is manageable to carry out the Manned Lunar program.30. What can we infer from the passage?A. Nations must depend on themselves to explore the moon.B. The Long March 5 is the biggest of China’s rocket.C. The newly-designed rocket will not carry astronauts.D. Producing a powerful launch vehicle is the most difficult part in the program.31. What do the figures in the last paragraph imply?A. The new rocket is big enough to perform landing missions.B. The new rocket is being made to launch lunar spaceship.C. China’s scientific power has improved.D. The new rocket will be put into use soon.DFear, anxiety, panic —those are the words Elaine Peng used to describe the state of her service’s recipients (接受者) who are fighting mental health problems through lectures and support groups on WeChat. President Donald Trump’s transaction (交易) ban on the social networking app has worsened their emotional state.Since Peng founded the organization in 2013 with the mission of raising mental health awareness within the Chinese community, she has gradually built up her network. Now she has two WeChat groups of more than 500 people, including service recipients and volunteers.Peng said, “WeChat is the organization’s primary communica tions tool because it is much friendlier than other US-developed apps. We also respond to emergency situations through WeChat. For instance, we recently rescued a patient from a parking lot, using the app’s real-time location feature, where his condition s uddenly worsened and he didn’t know where he was,” she said.Seeing that her group’s mission and operation will be affected in a significant way, Peng joined a legal challenge filed by the nonprofit US WeChat Users Alliance, seeking to block the ban. The英语试题第6页(共11页)p residential executive order does not define the word “transaction”, and Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross has not defined which particular transactions would be illegal. Ross may issue the definitions by Sunday, or he may not say anything for a long time, but the situation is already harming people who depend on WeChat. If the judge does not prevent the order from taking effect, then the law goes into effect Sunday, and no one knows exactly what it means.WeChat has roughly 19 million daily active users in the US, most of them of Chinese descent, according to the complaint filed by the plaintiffs (原告) last month. The lawsuit argues that the order is illegal because it violates(侵犯) users’ free speech rights. It also argues that the ban targeted Chinese Americans, who rely on the app for work, worship and staying in touch with relatives in China.32. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A. Entertainment.B. Science.C. Education.D. News brief.33. What is the purpose of the organization founded by Peng?A. To arouse mental health awareness.B. To build up her network.C. To provide service for recipients.D. To keep in touch with relatives.34. What was author’s attitude towards WeChat according to the article?A. SubjectiveB. ObjectiveC. IndifferentD. Doubtful35.What is the best title of this passage?A. Wechat ban —users’ expectationB. Wechat ban —users’ demandC. Wechat ban —users’ concernD. Wechat ban —users’ disaster第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5 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。
