However, have you evertaken a moment to consider that for countless individuals worldwide, a sewing machine goesbeyond its role as merely a tool, instead frequently serving as their crucial source of income?When Margaret Jankowski discovered this, she chose to establish The Sewing MachineProject, an organization dedicated to collecting donated sewing machines and distributing themin remote areas such as Sri Lanka, Guatemala, Guam, and Kosovo. Additionally, theorganization seeks to assist communities in Detroit and New Orleans.After a tsunami struck Sri Lanka, Margaret was profoundly affected by the tale of a specificwoman. The disaster ruined the womans village, resulting in her losing everything, includingher sewing machine, which had been her primary means of earning a living. Moved by this story,Margaret made the decision to gather used sewing machines and ship them to Sri Lanka. Aftershe announced her idea on a local news program, donations of sewing machines began pouringin from the community.The Sewing Machine Project covers a basic yet necessary need of many impoverishedpeople around the world. For them, sewing can be a tool for survival. Whether in a factory or at高三英语第 4 页 共 11 页 home, a sewing machine can be the door to brighter financial opportunities. A sewing machinecan also enable many to preserve their cultural identity After Hurricane Katrina occurred in2005, a community of New Orleans that wears skillfully-made suits for their own traditionalfestival lost many of their sewing machines. Since then, the non-profit organization hasdistributed hundreds of machines among the creators of the costumes, helping them maintaintheir tradition as well as their income.24.What is the purpose of including a question in the first paragraph?A.

The team alsoinvestigated its age. How did they do this?Humans introduced a convenient time signature on the Earth when we started testingatomic (原子的) weapons. This leaves a time stamp which can be found in water, rocks andliving organisms. By seeing if radioactivity (放射性) from atomic bomb testing was present inthe groundwater, the researchers could estimate that about 6% of this groundwater is youngerthan 50 years old. If this water was spread evenly over the continents, then there is just threemetres depth of modern groundwater spread equally over the continents.It could be argued that if we use only this modern groundwater, then this is sustainable, as高三英语第 5 页 共 11 页 we know that it has been replaced or recharged (被补充) by natural processes over the last 50years. But how quickly groundwater recharges changes over time.Water has to reach the inside of rocks, either now or in the past. This means that the amountof rainfall has to be more than the amount of water evaporating (蒸发) from the land surface,and more than the amount of water used by all the plants. When this occurs, fresh water canrecharge the groundwater from either water “leaking” from the beds of rivers or from rainwaterthat passes through the soil.In many parts of the world we know that groundwater recharge varies due to natural climatevariability such as El Nino. Groundwater recharge will also change with global warming.28.How did the researchers estimate the age of the groundwater?A. By analyzing its chemical composition.C. By examining its freshness.B. By testing atomic bomb.D. By finding its time stamp.29.What do people think of the supply of “modern” groundwater?A. Its limited. B. Its fresh. C. Its vital.0.What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to?D. Its abundant.3A. Water evaporating.B. Water leaking from river beds.C. Water getting into rocks.D. Water being used by all the plants.31.What are the last three paragraphs mainly talking about?A. Groundwater sustainability.C. Groundwater exploration.B. Climate variability.D. Global warming.DYou may never know why. The email will arrive and reasons offered for your rejectionmight be the real onesor not. Bosses have always spied on their employees, then judged them.Now the rise of the online self means the employers eye can travel still farther.Even before the pandemic, research found that 28% of large companies had turned downapplicants after carrying out such checks. And it is becoming more popular: Reed Screening, alarge agency, was asked to run over a third more social-media checks in December 2021 than ayear earlier. This month the government gave the practice approval when the Department forEducation said schools and colleges “should consider carrying out an online search as part oftheir due diligence (尽职调查)”.The way screening works is simple: Any “problematic” behaviours will be marked with ared flag. There are laws governing such online screening. David Erdos head of the Centre forIntellectual Property and Information Law, says that companies are supposed to warn candidates高三英语第 6 页 共 11 页 before screening their social media and tell them that they have the right to hold back permission.Some companies follow these rules, but others may not. As for the right to refuse, it is hardlypracticable. “Who on earth is going to be that person who says：Hang on a minute, Im nothappy about that?”asks Mr Erdos. “That itself is likely to be a red flag.”All agree that the spread of online screening is alarming, as it is so unforgiving. “Peoplemay be unable ever to be free of their online past, ” says Mr Erdos. As indeed some footballers,recently punished for comments made almost a decade ago when they were but teenagers, havefound to their cost.Those within the industry think laws should be tightened, with punishment for illegal act. Inthe meantime, being very careful is advisable. In talks to university students, Mr Erdos warnsthem what companies will do to their social media when they apply for jobs. They are“universally terrified ”, he says. And rightly so.32.What can we infer about online screening from paragraph 2?A. It is discouraged by large companies.B. It is becoming increasingly acceptable in applicants.C. It is more widely applied.D. It highlights the wisdom of employers.3.How do applicants usually respond to online screening?A. They become indifferent to the red flags.B. They have to give in to it.3C. They reject the screening.D. They ignore their online profiles.34.What is Mr Erdos opinion on posting comments online?A. It is a fair way to evaluate employee.C. It should be under strict laws.B. University students are free to do it.D. Its effect is hard to remove.35.What could be a suitable title for the text?A. Fix Your Eyes on Online ScreeningB. Your Employer Is Watching You RemotelyC. Social-media Checks Are Around the CornerD. Checks Online Are to Blame for Unemployment第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分)高三英语第 7 页 共 11 页 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Kenny Eating House is always crowded from late afternoon until midnight, with so manypeople surrounding the tables.36The moment customers show any signs of leaving, afew people rush in to take their place.
