Chinese volleyball superstar Zhu Ting has inspired a new English word. "Stay awesome and ZHUperb!" wrote a blogger at a US-based volleyball website. The word combines "Zhu" and "superb (卓越的)", to describe the 27-year-old player.
Zhu's excellent scoring performances put her among the Top 10 Global Outstanding Athletes for this year's Heracles Prize of the Big Ben Award. As the captain, Zhu "created the new golden age of women's volleyball in China", the award said. Zhu is considered a national hero by many in China, with good reason.

Shortly after, Zhu joined the national team and began playing under legendary coach Lang Ping.
At first, the 1. 98-meter-tall Zhu found it difficult to move quickly and stay balanced. But Lang Ping took advantage of her height and trained her to jump high and smash balls. Her work paid off. Zhu is now an outstanding player. "Hard work and talent are equally important. I'll move forward step by step," she told People's Daily.
28. Why was "ZHUperb" created

The area around Taal Lake on Luzon Island in the Philippines is known for its natural beauty. Tourism is popular there as travelers go there to see the scenery that surrounds Taal Volcano, one of the most active volcanoes in the country. It was quiet for years until January 12, 2020 when the volcano erupted. Since then, the cities surrounding the volcano have been covered with ash and many people are forced to leave home.
But the ash didn't stop the residents of Binan, a city that is 35 km south of Manilla, from finding a way to help their neighbors in the towns that suffered the most from Taal. Binan Mayor Walfredo Dimaguila ordered the city residents to collect the ash and to put it in sacks (麻袋) to be sent to the state-owned factory that can produce 5,000 bricks a day to turn it into bricks to use for rebuilding damaged communities.
“What we plan is to turn them into hollow blocks and bricks and sell them to interested companies,” Dimaguila said. But he noted, the money would be donated to the people directly affected by the volcano. “When Batangas (the region where Taal is located) is in recovery, the bricks can not only be used to build schools, community halls and livelihood centers but also help deal with ash pollution for the earth,” Dimaguila said. “The misfortune of our neighbors in Batangas is there. Let's transform this into opportunity.”
The Philippines, located in the Pacific “Ring of Fire: zone of fire” and part of the typhoon belt, is a country that is known for natural disasters like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and major storms. But the Filipino people show their strong will and community spirit.
32. What has happened to Taal Volcano
A. It attracts more and more visitors.
B. It becomes quieter and quieter.
C. It is covered with ash completely.
D. It causes bad effects on the locals.
33. What are people advised to do according to Walfredo Dimaguila
A. To collect volcanic ash for recycling.
B. To save sacks for factories to use.
C. To set up a factory for making bricks.
D. To build communities for people from disasters.
34. What can we infer from Dimaguila's words in Paragraph 3
A. Companies are expected to donate money.
B. Bricks made of volcanic ash are popular.
C. Batangas has been the most misfortune.
D. Turning ash into bricks benefits the earth.
35. What's the main idea of the passage
A. Taal Lake on Luzon Island is destroyed.
B. Taal Volcano has enjoyed popularity.
C. Disasters always hit the Philippines.
D. The Filipino people turn ash into treasure.

【原文】Hello! My name’s Art. I’m 74 years old and I live in a retirement community with my wife Kate. I retired about twelve years ago from the bicycle business. I was in the bicycle business for thirty-five years. Twenty of the thirty-five years I ran my own business. After I decided to sell my business, I became an advisor. I worked as an advisor for five years and then I retired. The retirement community I live in requires one to be forty-eight years or older. In the community I engage in many activities, oil painting, watercolor painting, stained glass projects. My major activity, however, is golf. Weather permitting, I play every day. We have a golf course in the community, and since I played more often than I used to before I retired, my game has really improved.

The area around Taal Lake on Luzon Island in the Philippines is known for its natural beauty. Tourism is popular there as travelers go there to see the scenery that surrounds Taal Volcano, one of the most active volcanoes in the country. It was quiet for years until January 12, 2020 when the volcano erupted. Since then, the cities surrounding the volcano have been covered with ash and many people are forced to leave home.
But the ash didn't stop the residents of Binan, a city that is 35 km south of Manilla, from finding a way to help their neighbors in the towns that suffered the most from Taal. Binan Mayor Walfredo Dimaguila ordered the city residents to collect the ash and to put it in sacks (麻袋) to be sent to the state-owned factory that can produce 5,000 bricks a day to turn it into bricks to use for rebuilding damaged communities.
“What we plan is to turn them into hollow blocks and bricks and sell them to interested companies,” Dimaguila said. But he noted, the money would be donated to the people directly affected by the volcano. “When Batangas (the region where Taal is located) is in recovery, the bricks can not only be used to build schools, community halls and livelihood centers but also help deal with ash pollution for the earth,” Dimaguila said. “The misfortune of our neighbors in Batangas is there. Let's transform this into opportunity.”
The Philippines, located in the Pacific “Ring of Fire: zone of fire” and part of the typhoon belt, is a country that is known for natural disasters like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and major storms. But the Filipino people show their strong will and community spirit.
32. What has happened to Taal Volcano
A. It attracts more and more visitors.
B. It becomes quieter and quieter.
C. It is covered with ash completely.
D. It causes bad effects on the locals.
33. What are people advised to do according to Walfredo Dimaguila
A. To collect volcanic ash for recycling.
B. To save sacks for factories to use.
C. To set up a factory for making bricks.
D. To build communities for people from disasters.
34. What can we infer from Dimaguila's words in Paragraph 3
A. Companies are expected to donate money.
B. Bricks made of volcanic ash are popular.
C. Batangas has been the most misfortune.
D. Turning ash into bricks benefits the earth.
35. What's the main idea of the passage

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍了2021年星巴克将在全球门店中禁用塑料吸管，以减少塑料污染。
【61题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：星巴克表示，为了减少塑料造成的污染，该公司将于2021年从全球门店中淘汰塑料吸管。straw为可数名词，前文没有冠词，且结合语境表示数量大于一应用复数形式。故填straws。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：星巴克表示，为了减少塑料造成的污染，该公司将于2021年从全球门店中淘汰塑料吸管。分析句子结构可知cause在句中应用非谓语动词形式，与逻辑主语pollution构成被动关系，故应用过去分词作定语。故填caused。
【63题详解】
考查介词。句意：星巴克将在其超过2.8万家门店中逐步淘汰一次性吸管，每年停用吸管的数量约为10亿支。结合句意表示“在……中”或“从……中”应用介词from/in。故填from/in。
【64题详解】
考查冠词。句意：星巴克将在其超过2.8万家门店中逐步淘汰一次性吸管，每年停用吸管的数量约为10亿支。根据后文1 billion straws 可知表示“10亿支数量”表示一个整体，应用不定冠词，且estimated是发音以元音音素开头的单词，应用an。故填an。
【65题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：星巴克负责全球社会影响的副总裁Colleen Chapman在一份声明中说：“不用吸管是我们为环境所做过的最有效的事情。”根据句意，可知effective应用最高级形式，在前面加most。故填most effective。
【66题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：就在一周前，星巴克总部所在地华盛顿州西雅图成为美国首个在酒吧和餐馆禁用一次性塑料吸管的大城市。分析句子结构可知ban在句中应用非谓语动词形式，且当名词前有the first等序数词修饰时，应用动词不定式作后置定语。故填to ban。
【67题详解】
考查冠词。句意：星巴克对塑料饮料的抵制引发了不同的反应。空处作宾语，表示“反应”应用名词reaction，结合上文冠词a可知应用单数。故填reaction。
【68题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意：国际保护组织首席执行官M. Sanjayan发表声明称，“在美国，每天有5亿根塑料吸管被扔掉”，并称赞星巴克“为保护我们的海洋采取了有意义的行动”。根据every day可知用一般现在时，且主语与谓语动词构成被动关系，用一般现在时的被动语态，主语为500m plastic straws，谓语动词用复数。故填are thrown。
【69题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：但许多消费者表达了对残疾人的关注。根据上文“issued”可知描述过去发生的事情应用一般过去时。故填voiced。
【70题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：那些因残疾而依赖吸管的人呢？此处为定语从句修饰先行词those，先行词在从句中作主语，指人，只能用关系代词who引导。故填who。

Collecting stamps are my favorite, which benefits me a great deal of. For me, a stamp is not a piece of paper merely , and a record of history. A stamp tells me about the time, place and country of their origin. In my spare time, I always arrange the stamps and sticking them properly in an album. Now I have three albums of stamps, which I looked after carefully. I enjoy the beautiful of these stamps. I come know about the history, geography, and culture of a country from the stamps.

7. beautiful→beauty 8.在know前面加to 9. proudly→proud 10. hobbies→hobby
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了作者集邮的爱好。
【详解】1.考查主谓一致。句意：集邮是我最喜欢的，它使我受益匪浅。动名词Collecting stamps作主语，谓语动词用单数。故将are改为is。
2.考查介词。句意：集邮是我最喜欢的，它使我受益匪浅。介词（of）不能单独用，必须和宾语一起构成介词短语。故去掉of。
3.考查连词。句意：对我来说，邮票不仅仅是一张纸，而是历史的记录。not…but…“不是……而是……”是固定句式，符合句意。故将and改为but。
4.考查代词。句意：一张邮票告诉我它的时间、地点和国家。主语A stamp为单数，相应的物主代词数要一致。故将their改为its。
5.考查动词。句意：在我的业余时间，我总是整理邮票，并把它们正确地粘贴在一本集邮册。连词and所连接的谓语动词前后应该一致，因前文“arrange”为原形，（句子为一般现在时，主语为I，）后面的谓语动词也用原形。故将sticking改为stick。
6.考查时态。句意：现在我有三本集邮册，都是我精心照看的。根据句中“have”可知，句子为一般现在时，主语为I。故将looked改为look。
7.考查名词。句意：我喜欢这些邮票的美。定冠词the用来限定名词。故将beautiful改为beauty。
8.考查动词不定式固定搭配。句意：我通过邮票了解一个国家的历史、地理和文化。come to know“开始了解”是固定短语。故在know前面加to。
9.考查形容词。句意：我为自己爱上这个爱好而感到自豪。主语为I，系动词为am，所以应用形容词作表语。故将proudly改为proud。
10.考查名词单复数。句意：我为自己爱上这个爱好而感到自豪。通读全文可知，只讲述了“Collecting stamps”一种爱好，故名词hobby应用单数。故将hobbies改为hobby。
