Chinese delivery driver, Gao Zhixiao, was featured on the cover of Time magazine in March because of his sense of commitment. Alongside five others, he was picked by the magazine as one of heroes during the novel coronavirus outbreak.
Ever since COVID-19 broke out, many restaurants have shut down or switched to takeout-only services. Millions of people have been staying at home to avoid getting infected. “People choose to order food online or buy fruit and vegetables to cook at home,” Gao told Time. As a result, delivery orders dramatically increased, placing a huge burden on delivery companies.
Born into a poor family in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, Gao started to make a living in Beijing at age 16. After the novel coronavirus broke out, Gao hesitated for a second to continue working, but then picked up orders because he thought customers might be in need.
Due to the danger of person-to-person transmission, Gao must take care to avoid spreading viruses on his route around Beijing, including taking a regular health test and spending 20 minutes disinfecting his motorcycle and clothes each morning. Besides delivering goods, Gao once willingly cooked for an elderly customer who was living alone at her home.
It is the commitment of ordinary people like Gao that has made the biggest contributions in the fight against COVID-19.
4.What can we know from Paragraph 1
A. Gao manages a delivery company.
B. Gao was the only one to deliver food during the novel coronavirus outbreak.
C. Gao was chosen on the cover of Time magazine due to his selfless commitment.
D. Gao comes from a rich family.
5.Why did delivery orders dramatically increase according to the passage
A. People were too lazy to go out for meals.
B. There was a discount if people chose delivery orders.
C. People were afraid of being infected with the novel coronavirus by going out.
D. People were asked to order food online by the government.
6.Which of the following words can best describe Gao Zhixiao
A. Selfless and warm-hearted.
B. Brave and humorous.
C. Hard-working and honest.
D. Positive and selfless.

My favorite thing about autumn is that I have an excuse to make my mom apple cake again. So, I always thought, once my first child was in primary school, I would enjoy taking part in bake sale fundraisers.
Instead, I fear them. I do not imagine that funds for football uniforms appear out of thin air. So I dutifully show up to each bake sale with home-made cakes.
Sill, bake sales trouble me. They feel like a holdover from a time when many moms didn’t work and it was supposed they had a lot of time to bake cookies for children. Women who don’t have the time to bake at home and who bring packaged cookies are seen as breaking a great American tradition.
What are we selling at bake sales, anyway Are we advertising our baking skills Or is the goal to raise money Children happily buy cupcakes from a store, so why do we care that nobody in a home kitchen worked late into the night to make them
Actually, if you look closely at the economics, they just don’t add up. We might spend $10 on ingredients to make 18 cupcakes that sell for $2 each. Think of this $26 as profit supposing that the hours spent shopping and baking and packing things up and taking them to school, and possibly selling and cleaning up afterward, don’t have value. Volunteering your time and energy to something important is worth praising. But neither the ingredients nor the work is free", and many parents can’t afford to give them away.
This is not an attack against people who love to make banana bread and have the time to do so. But most people do not. Most parents struggle to get even the most basic parenting tasks finished in the limited time between the end of the workday and children’s bedtimes. It feels crazy to take time away from helping with homework, or actually making dinner, to spend hours on a fundraiser.
8. What can we learn about the author
A. She loves baking. B. She is active at school.
C. She likes home-made food. D. She is against fundraising.
9. Why do bake sales trouble the author
A. She has to buy cakes in stores.
B. Home-made baking is a burden.
C. Some moms don’t attend bake sales.
D. Moms are showing off their baking skills.
10. What does the example in Paragraph 5 show
A. Ingredients are too expensive.
B. It is uneconomical to bake at home.
C. It is hard to raise money at bake sales.
D. Ready-made cakes are popular at school.
11. What does the author think of the time involved in baking
A. It is increasing.
B. It is rewarding.
C. It is highly valued.
D. It is unavailable for many.
D
You have probably read about robots replacing human labour as a new era of automation takes root in one industry after another. However, a new report suggests humans are not the only ones who might lose their jobs.
In New Zealand, farmers are using drones to herd and monitor cows and sheep, taking up the position that highly intelligent dogs have held for more than a century. The robots have not replaced the dogs entirely, Radio New Zealand reports, but they have appropriated( 盗用) one of the animal’s most powerful tools: barking. The DJI Mavic Enterprise, a $ 3,500 drone favored by farmers, has a feature that lets the machine record sounds and play them over a loudspeaker, giving the machine the ability to imitate its canine counterparts.
Corey Lambeth, a shepherd on a farm, told RNZ the machines are surprisingly effective. "That’s the one thing I’ve noticed that when you’re moving cows the old cows stand up to the dogs, but with the drones, they’ve never done that," he said, noting the drones move cows faster, with less stress than the dogs do.
The drones come in handy for more than just herding cows and sheep. The robots allow farmers to monitor their land from afar, monitoring water and feed levels and checking on the animals’ health without disturbing them. Jason Rentoul told RNZ that a two-hour herding job that used to require two people and two teams of dogs could be accomplished in 45 minutes using a single drone. "On a hilly farm where a lot of stuff is done by farmers on foot, the drones really save a lot of man hours," he said.
For now, farmers say, there is still a need for herding dogs, primarily because they have a longer lifespan than drones, can work in bad weather and do not require an electrical socket every few hours to recharge.
12. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. Farmers. B. Dogs. C. Sheep D. Loudspeakers
13. Which of the following statements is supported by the farmland？
A. Herding dogs will gradually lose their position.
B. The drones can help monitor weather conditions with the current technology.
C. The drones are multifunctional and leave the animal undisturbed
D. The market for the DJI Mavic Enterprise is pretty small because of its high price.
14. Why can’t the drones replace the dogs entirely
A. The drones are much more expensive.
B. Cows are not used to seeing the drones.
C. The drones can’t bark as loudly as the dogs do.
D. The drones’ power is limited and they need charging,
15. What is the author's attitude towards the drones in the passage
A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Critical D. Doubtful

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。
Some people are blessed with a seemingly unshakable positive attitude, but most of us need to learn how to pull ourselves up through our own efforts. 　16　. Thankfully, here are several science-backed strategies to improve your relationship with the person in the mirror.
　17　
Realize that negative emotions aren't inherently (天性地)bad—they can be useful. The inner call of anxiety reminds you to focus on it. If you need to deal with an immediate problem—say, strictly controlling overspends—that call to focus is helpful.
Believe that you matter
　18　. Spend time with loved ones, and remind them you offer a shoulder to cry on. It's nice to know that someone is considerate, and they in turn can count on you when they need help.
Get moving
There's no silver bullet(高招) for overcoming negativity. 　19　. Not only is it good for stress management and general mental health but it also provides a sense of competence and accomplishment. Over the years, dozens of studies have indicated that exercise has a significant impact on self-perceptions. 　20　. If going to the gym is not an option or very enjoyable to you, then head outdoors for a run or a nice walk.
A. Engage in the less negative self-talk
B. Embrace the upside of feeling down
C. But exercise is the closest thing we have
D. Staying positive has been tough in a dilemma
E. Such interactions can lead to negative emotions
F. The activity you choose matters less than enjoying it and sticking to it
G. Strong personal relationships are the best aids to believing you matter
16.　　　 17.　　　 18.　　　 19.　　　 20.

Hansen and his 10-year-old son Chase search the streets of Salt Lake City every weekend for the homeless to share a meal. They started Project Empathy(共情)four years ago to 　21　 a meal, listen to their stories and figure out how they could 　22　 help.
“Just start with a smile and a hello. It really just starts with that. If you do it, you can make a connection. A small gesture can have a 　23　 impact on others less fortunate,” Hansen 　24　 in an interview.
Some of these shared meals have turned into stronger 　25　. Ward, a homeless person, was 　26　 in a flat. He credited the Hansens with helping him 　27　 the difficult process of moving off the streets. “It is great to have friends who make us feel 　28　 and I'm impressed with the pair,” Ward said.
Father and son's 　29　 have developed into a passion project that 　30　 faith and community, which emphasizes the 　31　 community members can have in uplifting the homeless. They know they can't settle the 　32　 about the homeless alone. They're hoping empathy will 　33　.

So, I always thought, once my first child was in primary school, I would enjoy taking part in bake sale fundraisers.(关于秋天我最喜欢的事情就是我又有借口给我妈妈做苹果蛋糕了。所以，我一直在想，一旦我的第一个孩子上了小学，我就会喜欢参加烘焙义卖筹款活动)”可知，作者喜欢烘焙。故选A。

Volunteering your time and energy to something important is worth praising. But neither the ingredients nor the work is “free”, and many parents can't afford to give them away.(实际上，如果你仔细观察经济情况，你会发现它们并不合理。我们可能会花10美元购买原料来制作18个2美元一个的纸杯蛋糕。 把这26美元想象成利润，假设花在购物、烘焙、打包、送东西到学校，以及可能的出售和事后清理上的时间都没有价值。把你的时间和精力奉献给一些重要的事情是值得表扬的。但这些材料和工作都不是“免费的”，许多家长也负担不起)”可推知，第5段的例子说明了在家烤面包不经济。故选B。

17.B　此空是小标题,根据形式一致原则,应该用短小精悍的祈使句,在A、B项中做出选择。根据下文提示“Realize that negative emotions aren't inherently (天性地)bad—they can be useful...focus is helpful.”可知,要意识到负面情绪本身并不是坏的——它们可能是有用的。焦虑的内在呼唤会提醒你去关注它。如果你需要处理一个迫在眉睫的问题,比如严格控制超支,那么提醒自己集中精力是有帮助的,B项“拥抱低落情绪的积极面”切题,是对下文的概括总结,是本段的主题。故选B。
18.G　根据下文提示“Spend time with loved ones, and remind them you offer a shoulder to cry on. It's nice to know that someone is considerate, and they in turn can count on you when they need help.”可知,此处应陈述建立人际关系的重要性,G项“牢固的人际关系是让你相信自己重要的最好帮助”切题。该项中的Strong personal relationships与下文的Spend time with loved ones相吻合。故选G。
19.C　下文“Not only is it good for stress management and general mental health but it also provides a sense of competence and accomplishment.”与C项“但锻炼是最接近我们的东西”承接自然,下文中的it指代的就是该项中的exercise,是进一步解释。且选项内容符合本段小标题“Get moving(行动起来)”,故选C。
20.F　下文“If going to the gym is not an option or very enjoyable to you, then head outdoors for a run or a nice walk.”与F项“你选择的活动不如享受它并坚持下去重要”承接自然,下文内容是对该项的进一步解释说明。故选F
