American Express Gold: Best "non-travel" travel card Why it's great in one sentence: The American Express Gold card earns tons of
valuable Amex travel points on practically all the food-related purchases you're making even when you' re not traveling, and the credits available on the card nearly offset (抵消) its annual fee.
This card is right for: People who can use all of the card's various credits and who spend significant money at restaurants, on food delivery services or at U.S. supermarkets while they' re not on the road.
Highlights:
First, with the Amex Gold, you'll earn 4 points for every dollar you spend on restaurants worldwide, and on up to $25,000 in annual purchases at U.S. supermarkets (1 point per dollar afterwards). Most food delivery services count as “restaurants" on this card, so that means the vast majority of your food purchases will earn 4x points, regardless of how you're eating.
You'll also earn 3 points per dollar when you book airfare directly with an airline, so if you're looking to jump on any sales for flights later in the year, you can pay for them with the Amex Gold and earn extra points on those as well.
The points earned on this card are American Express Membership Rewards points, which are extremely useful. You can redeem (兑取现金) them directly for flights via Amex Travel at 1 cent each, but if you put in some extra effort and research, you can potentially get much more value from them by transferring them to any of Amex's 21 airline and hotel partners, which include Delta Air Lines, JetBlue, Marriott and many more.
21. What can we know about the American Express Gold card?
A. It requires very little annual fee.
B. It has a link with food purchases.
C. It is targeted at delivery services.
D. It is right for restaurant managers.
22. If you spend $ 25,800 annually at U.S. supermarkets, how many points will you earn?
A.100,000.
B.100,800.
C.103,200.
D.400,000.
23. What can you do with these points on this card?
A. Change them into money to buy food.
B. Transfer guests from airlines to hotels.
C. Purchase services in suggested airlines.
D. Make some extra effort and do research.

Over the phone, Jack's mother told him, “Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday." Memor
ies flashed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days.
“Jack, did you hear me?"
“Oh, sorry, Mum. Yes, I heard you. It's been so long since I thought of him. I'm sorry, but 1
honestly thought he died years ago," Jack replied.
“You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man's
influence in your life,' she said.
As busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his hometown. Mr. Belser's funeral was small and uneventful. The night before he had to return home, Jack and
his Mum stopped by to see the old house next door one more time.
Standing in the doorway, Jack paused for a moment. It was like crossing over into another dimension, a leap through space and time. The house was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories. Every picture, every piece of furniture. Jack stopped suddenly ...
“What's wrong, Jack?” his Mum asked.
“The box is gone," he said.
“What box?" Mum asked.
"There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk. I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All he'd ever told me was the thing he valued most. Now I'll never know what was so valuable to him," Jack said.
Returning home from work one day Jack discovered a note in his mailbox. 'Signature required on a package. No one at home. Please stop by the main post office within the next three days,' the note read. Early the next day Jack retrieved the package. There inside was the gold box and an envelope. Jack s hands shook as he read the note inside.
"Upon my death, please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bennett. It's the thing I valued most in my life.'
Jack carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch. Running his fingers slowly over the finely etched casing, he unlatched the cover. Inside he found these words engr
aved (雕刻): 'Jack, Thanks for your time!- Harold Belser.'
24. What did Mr. Belser do when Jack was a child?
A. He played the role of a father.
B. He taught Jack school subjects.
C. He sponsored Jack for education.
D. He brought Jack longer memories.
25. Why was Jack deeply impressed with the gold box?
A. It belonged to Mr. Belser.
B. It remained a mystery to him.
C. It was his childhood memory.
D. It was worth a lot of money.
26. What does the underlined word “retrieved” in Paragraph 11 probably mean?
A. Take over.
B. Reach for.
C. Pull out.
D. Get back.
27. What can we learn from the story?
A. A gold pocket watch is the best gift.
B. Good company deserves treasuring.
C. Loss of father influences a boy deeply.
D. Close neighbors should help each other.
C
Combining knowledge of chemistry, physics, biology, and engineering, scientists from McGill University develop a biomaterial tough enough to repair the heart, muscles, and vocal cords, representing a major advance in medicine.
“People recovering from heart damage often face a long and tricky journey. Healing is challenging because of the constant movement tissues must withstand (承受) as the heart beats. The same is true for vocal cords. Until now there was no injectable (可注射的) material strong enough for the job," says Guangyu Bao, a PhD candidate in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at McGill University.
The team, led by Professor Luc Mongeau and Assistant Professor Jianyu Li, developed a new injectable hydrogel (水凝胶) for wound repair, which is a type of biomaterial that provides room for cells to live and grow. Once injected into the body, the biomaterial forms a stable structure allowing live cells to grow or pass through to repair the injured organs.
“The results are promising, and we hope that one day the new hydrogel will be used to restore the voice of people with damaged vocal cords," says Guangyu Bao.
The scientists tested the durability of their hydrogel in a machine they developed to copy the extreme biomechanics of human vocal cords. Vibrating (振动) at 120 times a second for over 6 million cycles, th
e new biomaterial remained undamaged while other standard hydrogels broken into pieces, unable to deal with the stress of the load.
“We were incredibly excited to see it worked perfectly in our test. Before our work, no injectable hydrogels possessed both high porosity and toughness at the same time. To solve this issue, we introduced a pore-forming polymer to our formula (配方),”says Guangyu Bao.
The innovation opens new ways of making progress for other applications like tissue engineering. The team is also looking to use the hydrogel technology to create lungs to test COVID-19 drugs.
28. Why did the researchers develop the new biomaterial?
A. To experience a journey.
B. To repair wound.
C. To represent an advance.
D. To replace organs.
29. What is unique of the biomaterial compared to other materials?
A. It is heavier.
B. It is more breakable.
C. It is changeable.
D. It is more injectable.
30. What might the researchers do next about the biomaterial?
A. Make artificial organs for drug test.
B. Try hard to increase its toughness.
C. Apply it to the cure of COVID-19.
D. Adjust their formula to improve it.
31. What the author's purpose of writing this passage?
A. To show his respect to the researchers.
B. To stress the importance of innovation.
uneventfulC. To promote the sales of a new hydrogel.
D. To introduce a newly- developed material.

Human is struggling to contain two major crises: Skyrocketing global temperatures and deep-diving biodiversity (生物多样性). But people tend to solve each problem on its own, for instance by using green energies and carbon-eating machines, while surrounding ecosystems to preserve them. But a new report argues that treating each crisis in isolation (孤立地) means missing out on solutions that resolve both. Human can't solve one without also solving the other.
So what might these solutions look like? Say, for instance, you turn a heavily logged forest into a national park. As the trees grow back, they would provide habitat for the return of animals. Letting a forest come back naturally, rather than planting a single species of tree to balance up some corporation's carbon emissions (排放), makes it recover faster. This is known as a nature-based solution, a campaign that both absorb carbon and provides an extra
