Here are four beach destinations for you to take a unique vacation in the sunshine.
Zanzibar, Tanzania
Whether you’re dining at restaurants directly on the sand or listening to live music, the islands of Zanzibar are rich with culture. The Stone Town features narrow stone streets meant for bicycles. It’s a great place to buy produce and creative goods while taking in the Arabian architecture. You can sail into the sun on wooden boats, do yoga on the white sand or go diving.

With boat tours, hidden beaches and valley adventures featuring flowing waterfalls, water activities are everywhere. But the island has plenty of other experiences as well. Go wine tasting, learn to bake bread or take a historical tour of local archaeological (考古) sites.
Bodrum, Turkey
For a truly unique beach experience, visit Bodrum in Turkey. The ancient city is home to historic baths, hot springs, ancient ruins and underwater archeology museums. This area is also ideal for rafting trips, sea fishing and more. There is also a lot of wildlife living on the island and in its surrounding waters.
Tenerife, Spain

Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without mountains of wrapping paper covering the floor on 25 December. Or would it
A rise in interest in crafting(手工艺), coupled with a greater awareness of the environment under lockdown, has led to an increase in interest in furoshiki—the Japanese art of fabric wrapping—this year.
Furoshiki are traditional Japanese cloths used to transport food, clothes or gifts. They are increasingly being accepted by shoppers as an alternative to paper. The cloths are easy to use: gifts are placed in the centre of the fabric, which is then tucked(卷起) around the object and fastened with a knot(结).
Because fabric is so much more malleable(可塑的) than wrapping paper, it can be used to make even the most awkwardshaped gifts look professionally wrapped. The Covid19 pandemic(大流行病) has brought the environment into a new focus for people, causing people all to make more environmentally conscious decisions around what we buy.
Part of the appeal of fabric wrapping is that it is a present in itself. The receiver can not only enjoy a beautifully wrapped gift but can then reuse the cloth to give a gift of their own.
Some customers use their cloth within family or friendship circles, so that it eventually makes its way back to them. There's a certain magic and tradition in passing it from person to person.
Then there's the rising interest in craft. Fabric wrapping is often pared to standard wrapping paper, fabric wrapping offers more chances to experiment with different folding techniques and the way it lends itself to botanical decoration. There is a huge appetite for people wanting to learn new craft skills and perhaps create their own gifts for friends and family.
The practice of using furoshiki became widespread during Japan's Edo period(1603－1868), when people bundled(捆) their clothes in fabric while visiting public baths. The custom was generally the preserve of older people in Japan, but younger generations are getting on board as a result of the pandemic. They have started to reconsider their ways of life.
24. Which of the following can best describe furoshiki
A. Sustainable. B. Wasteful.
C. Complex to knot. D. Awkward to carry.
25. What is the advantage of furoshiki over standard wrapping paper
A. It has less human touch. B. It improves gardening skills.
C. It stimulates appetite for food. D. It offers more space for creativity.
26. Why does furoshiki begin to be accepted by younger people
A. It has a long family tradition. B. Pandemic promotes green rethink.
C. Public baths are gaining popularity. D. It's their turn to preserve the custom.
27. What is the text mainly about
A. The history of furoshiki.
B. The benefits of furoshiki.
C. Ways to wrap a gift with furoshiki.
D. Reasons for a growing interest in furoshiki.
C
While psychologists have studied topics like happiness, optimism, and other human strengths for decades, positive psychology wasn't officially identified as a branch of psychology until 1998 when Martin Seligman was elected president of the American Psychological Association (APA). Seligman suggested that psychology had become too focused on mental illness. While this had brought about valuable treatments that enabled psychologists to treat a number of diseases and disorders that made people less unhappy. It meant that psychology was neglecting what was good about life—and what the average person could improve.
Seligman called for research into what makes normal people's lives positive and fulfilling. and suggested that the field should develop interventions（干预） that could make people happier. He stated that psychology should be just as concerned with nurturing (滋养) the good things in life as it was with healing the bad.
Seligman made positive psychology the theme of his term as APA president and used his role to popularize the word. From there the field took off. It received a great deal of attention from mainstream media outlets. Meanwhile. The first Positive Psychology summit was held in 1999. followed by the first International conference on Positive Psychology in 2002.
Interest in positive psychology has remained high ever since. In 2018, a quarter of the undergraduate students at bale University enrolled in a course devoted to the subject of happiness. In 2019. 1, 600 individuals attended the World Congress of Positive Psychology and research in the field has generated tens of thousands of academic papers.
Psychologist Christopher Peter son pointed out that positive psychology is meant to serve as an extension of the areas of psychology that focus on mental illness and human weakness. Positive psychologists don't wish to replace or abandon the study of human problems, they simply wish to add the study of what's good in life to the field.
28. What should positive psychology focus on according to Seligman
A. Solving human problems. B. Treating bad emotions.
C. Healing mental illnesses. D. Helping develop good things.
29. What made positive psychology become popular
A. Seligman's effort in spreading it. B. International conferences' being held.
C. Attention from the media. D. Further research in this field.
30. What is Christopher Peter son's attitude toward positive psychology
A. Ambiguous. B. Doubtful C. Objective. D. Critical.
31. What can be the best title for the text
A. The Limitation of Positive Psychology
B. Seligman, Father of Positive Psychology
C. Psychology:Past, Present and Possible Future
D. Positive Psychology: A New Subfield of Psychology
D
Dozens of honey bees, which usually feed on wild flowers after leaving their hives(蜂房) in the campus gardens, were tricked into the cottage to feed from an artificial flower. Only one bee was allowed in at a time, and their visits to artificial flowers were videoed and timed under different fan speeds, which mimicked(模拟) calm and windy days.
But the researchers are trying to help them: it is a controlled experiment that reveals how high wind speeds significantly reduce the efficiency of their feeding.
With no wind, the bees on average took nectar(花蜜) from 5. 45 flowers during their 90second time trial. When wind speeds were increased, this fell to an average of 3. 73 flowers.
Researchers also examined the indirect impact of higher winds by moving the flowers.
The findings reveal that, while flower movement did not appear to have an effect on the bees, the movement of air from the fans made them much more hesitant to take off from a flower, with time taken ranging from an initial 0. 05 seconds to 54 seconds.
Georgia Hennessy, lead author of the research, said that one possible reason for the wind causing hesitancy was that small increases in wind speed reduced the bees' body temperature, so they require longer to warm up the flight muscles required to take off.
“With wind speeds predicted to increase in the years ahead, understanding how we can help bees in a changing climate is becoming ever more pressing. Although we can't do much to control or stop the wind, we can take steps to reduce its impact on bees, such as placing hives in sheltered locations，” said Hennessy.
The UN's Food and Agriculture Organization warned last year that the decline in global bee populations was a “threat to global food security and diversity”．
Dave Goulson, professor of biology at the University of Sussex, said, “Bees already face many pressures in the modern world, such as loss of habitats and exposure to pesticides(杀虫剂), and a great many are in decline. Coping with increasingly windy weather under climate change may be the final straw. ”
32. What task did the researchers set for the bees
A. Identifying the new route.
B. Surviving in extreme conditions.
C. Feeding under different wind speeds.
D. Distinguishing various kinds of flowers.
33. What probably makes a bee hesitant to take off from a flower
A. A full stomach. B. Loss of balance.
C. Changed flower positions. D. Reduced body temperature.
34. What can we do to reduce the impact of high winds on bees
A. Stop the wind. B. Restore their habitats.
C. Address climate change. D. Prohibit the use of pesticides.
35. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A. Loss of bees causes failure of food crops
B. Bees are on the decline as global heating worsens
C. Bees may struggle in winds caused by global warming
D. Artificial flowers are used for threatened bee populations

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。
Children are naturally curious beings. 36 Teachers and parents often find themselves making use of rewards in the form of stars, promises of high grades and wonderful careers, or threats of punishment. But what if rewards and threats aren’t the answer
Natural curiosity is sometimes referred to as “inner motivation”. 37 And it’s easy to understand why — it’s hard to study something we aren’t actively engaged with, and if we’re passionate about the information we’re digesting, it feels more fulfilling.
External motivation, things like rewards and punishment, does have its uses too. Praise and stimulation based on achieving good grades or fear of punishment has been acknowledged to motivate older students. 38 So, if it’s the case that natural curiosity is motivation for better learning, how can we stimulate that interest
39 Let children see their learning as their own thing and give them a bit more choice of what and how they learn. For example, if you want to teach children to read, let them choose which book they use. Whether it’s a graphic (连环画) novel, TV guide or classic literature, the aim of stimulating their appetite for reading is achieved.
Likewise, build a relationship with children as learners and listen to their negative feelings. If they are unwilling to get involved in an activity, don’t rush to use threats or rewards. Try to find out why. Perhaps it’s simply because they feel the activity boring. 40
All in all, the answer to motivating children, especially the young ones, comes from inspiring their inner motivation. Once their inner motivation is generated, the children will be fired up.
A. The key is to allow some degree of freedom.
B. Children who see learning as fun are better at it.
C. It doesn’t have as much effect at an early age, though.
D. Then explain its value, even if it doesn’t seem appealing.
E. It’s unapparent whether they lack inner or external motivation.
F. Even top students have days when they aren’t motivated for learning.
G. But getting them to study what they aren’t interested in can be a tricky task.

One afternoon after school, Mary and her brother, Keith, were eating at a cafe near their home. That afternoon, they had to share their table with another person. That person was a young lady in her twenties. After eating, she went to the restroom. Without realizing, she had left her handphone on the table. Five minutes later, she came out and walked out of the cafe without looking back.

Keith looked at the handphone. It took his breath away. It was one of the latest models on the market. Keith had always wanted a handphone. But his parents had told him, “You don't need one. You can always use the house phone. ”
He stared at it for some minutes. Then he said slowly, pausing on every word, “I want to take the handphone. ”
Mary could not believe her ears. She merely stared at her brother. “You can't! What if the owner comes to look for it？”
Having made the decision，Keith quickly grabbed the handphone and put it in his schoolbag. Then, he took Mary's hand and led her out of the cafe quickly.
Once back home, Keith locked his house door with trembling hands. Inside his room, he took out the piece of beauty. Oh, he liked it so much. Now he had his own handphone. Soon, he was polishing it happily.
But Mary told him, “Keith, you cannot keep the handphone. What will you tell Father about this He will ask you how you got the handphone. ”
Keith said quickly, “I will say a friend lent it to me. ”
Mary said, “Now you are lying too. ” Oh dear! When had Keith turned so dishonest
Then Mary saw a house phone number on the plastic cover of the handphone. “This is the girl's phone number. Why don't we just call this number We will talk to her and ask her to come and take back her handphone. ” She was trying to talk some sense into him.

【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如何让孩子对学习感兴趣的方法。
36．
根据上文“Children are naturally curious beings.(孩子们天生好奇)”以及后文“Teachers and parents often find themselves making use of rewards in the form of stars, promises of high grades and wonderful careers, or threats of punishment. But what if rewards and threats aren’t the answer (老师和家长经常发现自己利用星星、高分和美好事业的承诺或惩罚的威胁等形式的奖励。但如果奖励和威胁不是解决办法呢？)”可知，后文提到老师和家长需要依靠一些奖惩手段来让孩子学习，说明本句与上文构成转折，指出让孩子学习不敢兴趣的东西很困难，G选项中them指代上文Children。故G选项“但是让他们学习他们不感兴趣的东西可能是一项棘手的任务”符合语境，故选G。
37．
根据上文“Natural curiosity is sometimes referred to as “inner motivation”.(天生的好奇心有时被称为“内在动机”)”以及后文“And it’s easy to understand why it’s hard to study something we aren’t actively engaged with, and if we’re passionate about the information we’re digesting, it feels more fulfilling.(我们很容易理解为什么学习一些我们没有积极参与的东西是很难的，如果我们对我们正在消化的信息充满热情，就会感到更有成就感)”可知，后文解释了为什么学习一些我们没有积极参与的东西是很难的，可见让孩子主动学习需要激起孩子学习的乐趣，故B选项“把学习视为乐趣的孩子更擅长学习”符合语境，故选B。
38．
根据上文“External motivation, things like rewards and punishment, does have its uses too. Praise and stimulation based on achieving good grades or fear of punishment has been acknowledged to motivate older students.(外部动机，比如奖励和惩罚，也有它的用处。在取得好成绩或害怕受到惩罚的基础上给予表扬和激励，已经被认为是对年长学生的激励)”以及后文“So, if it’s the case that natural curiosity is motivation for better learning, how can we stimulate that interest (所以，如果天生的好奇心是更好学习的动力，我们该如何激发这种兴趣呢？)”可知，后文提到了给予惩罚和奖励可以激励年长学生，可知本句旨在说明惩罚和奖励在孩子早期时的作用，故C选项“尽管它在早期没有那么大的影响”符合语境，故选C。
39．
根据后文“Let children see their learning as their own thing and give them a bit more choice of what and how they learn. For example, if you want to teach children to read, let them choose which book they use. Whether it’s a graphic novel, TV guide or classic literature, the aim of stimulating their appetite for reading is achieved.(让孩子把学习看作是他们自己的事情，在学习什么和如何学习方面给他们更多一点的选择。 例如，如果你想教孩子们阅读，让他们选择他们使用的书。无论是漫画小说、电视指南还是经典文学，激发他们阅读欲望的目的已经实现了)”可知，本段的主旨是给予孩子更多一点的选择，即“允许一定程度的自由”。故A选项“关键是允许一定程度的自由”符合语境，故选A。
40．
根据上文“Likewise, build a relationship with children as learners and listen to their negative feelings. If they are unwilling to get involved in an activity, don’t rush to use threats or rewards. Try to find out why. Perhaps it’s simply because they feel the activity boring.(同样地，与作为学习者的孩子建立一种关系，倾听他们的消极感受。如果他们不愿意参与一项活动，不要急于使用威胁或奖励。试着找出原因。也许只是因为他们觉得这个活动很无聊)”可知，本句承接上文，说明找出原因的过程，D选项中it指代上文the activity。故D选项“然后解释它的价值，即使它看起来不吸引人”符合语境，故选D。

本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了在女儿的影响下Jeff Kirschner创办了一个名叫Litterati的app，鼓励人们清理垃圾保护环境。
56．

58．
考查非谓语动词。句意：像许多成人一样，他已经习惯于看到被扔在他周围的垃圾以致于他不想再看一眼。空格处的词在句中充当定语，修饰rubbish，由于throw与被修饰的词是逻辑动宾关系，应用过去分词，表被动。故填thrown。

63．
考查时态。句意：到现在为止，40多个国家3500人上传的2,500,000张照片都到了Litterati的数码垃圾池里。空格处是定语，由于post与被修饰的词photos是逻辑动宾关系，应用过去分词，表被动。故填posted。
64．
考查形容词。句意：Litterati不仅仅是一个APP。它是一个紧急问题的有效解决方法。形容词effective意为“有效的”，作定语，修饰名词solution。故填effective。
