Pianist Jean-Francois Maljean has released a piano piece to commemorate (纪念) the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, which kicked off with a grand opening ceremony held at the National Stadium on Feb 4. Titled For Beijing Olympics, the piano piece, which is about 3 minutes, was asked by the Chinese embassy in Belgium, with the aim of celebrating Chinese New Year and welcoming the Winter Olympics. He also wrote a song to support Wuhan in its fight against COVID-19 in 2020 and another song for Xi’an in December.
Born in Verviers, Belgium, Maljean started to learn the piano at age 6. At about 12, the classically trained pianist became interested in a diverse range of musical genres (类型), especially pop music like that of The Beatles.
He had planned to compose a song and English author Robert Murray, the pianist’s friend, even started to write the lyrics (歌词) about the Olympic Games. However, due to the short time, Maljean ended up just composing a piano piece, which was later released in the form of a music video featuring images of winter sports. “I think the piano piece works even better than a song. Since winter sports mainly give an impression of speed, I composed a mostly very fast piece, though there are some slower moments. And it works very well,” says Maljean, 68, who recorded the piece at his own studio in Belgium. Maljean recalls that he visited the capital and spent some time in China, where he was featured in a documentary for Belgian television. He traveled to many places in China, including Changchun in Jilin province, Guizhou province and Shanghai, and landed in Beijing to visit Olympic sites.
4. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. The introduction of Maljean.
B. The masterpieces of Maljean.
C. Maljean’s works about China.
D. Maljean’s contribution to music.
5. What do we know about Maljean from the passage
A. He is a great skiing enthusiast.
B. He is a classical music composer.
C. His documentary was filmed in Belgium.
D. He travelled to several Chinese provinces.
6. Why does Maljean think the fast piano piece is better than a song
A. Because it reflects the features of winter sports.
B. Because he is more expert at composing pop music.
C. Because it contains Chinese classical music elements.
D. Because the lyrics are not in accordance with the music.
7. Which of the following best describes Maljean
A. Generous and patient. B. Talented and caring.
C. Simple and independent. D. Adventurous and sensitive.
C
Take a good look at the American burying beetle. Once found in 35 states, the insect is assessed by the International Union for Conservation of. Nature as critically endangered. Like the tiger, the American burying beetle has orange and black stripes, like the tiger, the beetle is declining in number. The, tiger is an instantly recognizable symbol of species preservation, but most people aren’t familiar with the beetle.
This difference is an example of the domination of the so-called celebrity species — the fascinating creatures that nonprofits and government agencies use to raise public interest in conservation. Most nonprofit funds for animal protection go to species such as apes, elephants, big cats, rhinoceroses, and giant pandas. Tigers are often rated the most popular animal — and India, ho me to the majority of these big cats, spent more than $49 million on tiger conservation alone in 2019. Meanwhile, many lesser-known species of fish, reptiles, amphibians, and birds weaken in namelessness. Worldwide, more than 35,500 plant and animal species are on the edge of disappearing forever.
This leaves us with a tough situation. Conservation is underfunded, so how do we decide which species to save
One potential solution, the debatable idea of conservation triage, holds that experts need to quickly decide which species can be saved while realizing that others can’t be saved. Conservationists have developed analytical tools to approach the question in a less emotional, but more practical way. Fish and Wildlife Service now uses this knapsack method — inspired by a hiker’s need to fit the most valuable items into a small space — to get the “most bang for their buck” in saving species. The method calculates the most efficient conservation strategies using factors such as costs to recover a species and its likelihood of going extinct.
8. Why is the burying beetle mentioned in the first paragraph
A. To propose a definition. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To reach a conclusion. D. To present an argument.
9. What is the author’s attitude to the lesser-known species
A. Concerned. B. Unclear. C. Optimistic. D. Indifferent.
10. What does the underlined words in the last paragraph probably mean
A. To make the best efforts. B. To take the strictest measures.
C. To maximize the benefits. D. To avoid the worst dangers.
11. What will the author probably talk about in the following paragraph
A. Causes of some animals’ endangerment.
B. Other methods of deciding which species to save.
C. The authorities’ role in reasonable use of funds.
D. An appeal for saving the American burying beetle.
D
Summer’s here and it won’t be long before school-aged kids across America start complaining that they’re tired of riding their bikes, playing at the park, swimming in the pool…and all the other awesome activities their parents hoped would keep them entertained for the next 10 weeks.
Such rapid-onset boredom could indicate that the kids have amazing powers of recall. A new study shows that the better your short-term memory the faster you feel bored and decide you’ve had enough. The findings appear in the Journal of Consumer Research. “Though boredom can be physical, like when you feel full after eating too much, we were interested in the psychological side of boredom, like when you’re just tired of something.” Noelle Nelson. assistant professor of marketing and consumer behavior at the University of Kansas School of Business, and-her colleague Joseph Redden at the University of Minnesota tried to think outside the lunch box. “Something that was interesting to me is that some people get tired of the same things at very different rates. So if you think about pop songs on the radio, some people must still be enjoying them and requesting them even after hearing them a lot. But a lot of other people are really sick of those same songs.” The difference might have to do with memories of past consumption. For example, studies show that people push away from the dinner table sooner when they’re asked to describe in detail what they ate earlier for lunch.
The findings suggest that marketers could use our desire for their products by figuring out ways to distract (使分心) us and keep us from fully remembering our experiences. We could also trick ourselves into eating less junk food by immersing (使沉浸) ourselves in the memory of a previous snack. As for kids easily bored, just tell them to be fogged (模糊的) about it — it might help them have more fun.
12. What can be learned about the rapid-onset boredom from the passage
A. It is a physical reaction after lunch.
B. It is more likely to happen to children.
C. It is closely related with short-term memory.
D. It occurs physically first and then psychologically.
13. How may people take advantage of the findings
A. Help kids eat more by sharing their feelings about food.
B. Recall activities’ details to improve kids’ memorizing ability.
C. Talk less about previous snacks to reduce junk food consumption.
D. Keep consumers from remembering experiences to promote goods.
14. How does the author make the findings easy to understand
A. By making comparison. B. By analyzing data.
C. By describing processes. D. By giving examples.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Good Memory Makes for Boredom
B. How to Invent Interesting Activities
C. Boring Activities Do Harm to Kids’ Memory
D. Physical Boredom Affects Psychological Feelings

Still seeking a destination for your holiday We want to inform you of four best places that are probably a mere walk away from your home.
Highlands
This Scottish destination, only accessible on foot or by boat, is Britain’s last wilderness. Over a week, you’ll hike into the Black Hills, cross the peninsula north to south and set sail for hikes on Skye, Rum and Eigg. Finish each day at a beach-side lodge (小屋), with dinner at the award-winning restaurant next door.
Snowdonia
The Snowdonia Way, the only low-level long-distance route, was only created in 2017, and remains unnoticed on the ground. Join the new guided walking trip and you won’t need to concentrate on directions, just the fine views as you pass falls, forests, riversides and Roman roads.
Hadrian’s Wall
Walking along Hadrian’s Wall is like travelling back in time—and even more so if you do it in expert company. Andante’s hike along the ancient barrier is accompanied by a historian every step of the way, who will point out every Roman road, fort, milecastle and inscription, and tell you all about Hadrian’s tactics and Roman daily life.
Dorest
The Isle of Purbeck is ideal for families: the walking is relatively gentle; the beaches are glorious; the range of other attractions varied; and the buses handy, if little legs get tired. Over a few days, mix rambling the coast and hills (routes are around five or six miles) with steam train rides and sea swims, playing knights at ruined Corfe Castle and fossil-hunting at Kimmeridge Bay.
21. What can we know about Highlands
A. It is very modern. B. It is a guided trip.
C It can be reached by bus. D. It provides quality dinner.

CHARITY HONORS SON’S MEMORY
Nonprofit providing gifts to 18 to 39-year-olds is raising memory
By PAM KRAOEN
RAMONA, Calif. — Before he died from cancer at age 29, Silas River Bennett spent his final months taking photographs of the world around him, emailing friends, buying Christmas gifts for his sisters and encouraging his family to give to the needy. “What was important to him was to have a sense of himself outside of cancer,” said his mom, Lorranie Kerz of Ramona.
Bennett went to the hospital in fall 2007 with severe back pains. He was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer that had spread to his bones. Doctors believed the cancer was environmentally caused, perhaps by exposure to some poisonous gas in the basement where he lived or poisons in the paints he used as a painter.
Kerz said her son was a man with a great sense of humor and a very creative mind. He had an “electric intellect” who loved debating, watching “Jeopardy!” — a game show on TV and telling stories with his photographs. After Bennett died in May 2008, Kerz wanted to honor the creative spirit and generosity of her son, whose nickname was “Sy”. The result was Sy’s Fund, a Romona-based all-volunteer national nonprofit that has fulfilled the wishes of more than 250 people aged 18 to 39 who are battling cancer. Sy’s Fund provides them with small gifts — such as laptops, cameras, guitar lessons, or printers — to lift their spirits and refocus their energies in a positive direction.
The group raises money through three fundraisers each year, such as golf tournaments and 5K races. This year, because of the COVID-19, they’re trying a virtual fundraiser for the first time. After registering online, participants must download the “Let’s Roam” app to their phones to donate. For those who want to apply for a wish grant, visit sysfund.org. The organization is also seeking more volunteer members. For details, email Kerz at lorraine@sysfund.org.
24. Why did Kerz found Sy’s Fund
A. To honour his son. B. To get rid of cancer.
C. To make his son famous. D. To gain more profit.
25. What can we learn about Sy
A. His cancer was caused by poisonous paints.
B. He spent his final months preparing for the fund.
C. He was energetic and lived a short but colorful life.
D. He died more than one year after he was diagnosed with cancer.
26. How does Sy’s fund help the needy
A. By seeking more volunteers to tell stories.
B. By downloading some apps to the phones.
C. By providing cancer patients with small gifts.
D. By selling some things to cancer patients at a low price.

Believe it or not, 43,000,000 Americans are gardening. That is about one in six. Gardeners, of course, come in many varieties.
Abhi Arora used to be in the tech field. Like so many people, he sat at a desk all day, staring at a screen. Due to the stress of always staying indoors and in front of a computer, he started getting anxiety issues. To recharge and refresh, he visited a local garden in California. He noticed the shift in his mood, emotions, and improvement in his mental health overall during each visit.
Arora became friends and later business partners with the garden's owner, farmer Rishi Kumar, Kumar studied computer science in college but became obsessed with plants and gardening. He now runs Sarvodaya Farms in Pomona, Califomia. "Rishi and I met an old man who was healing himself and his son through the power of gardens. It was then that I realized that we could help others feel the same connection to the healing power of gardens," Arora says. The two co-founded Healing Gardens, an online marketplace where people can rent their organic urban gardens or farms for use by the hour.
“I've always had a love for plants and wildlife, so with Healing Gardens we want to bring easy access to the wellness benefits of nature to our community and at the same time do our part in regenerating our planet." Arora says.
Healing Gardens is based on the simple idea that most people enjoy being surrounded by plants and animals. A healing garden is a restorative outdoor space that has been specifically designed to steer the restless mind away from circling thoughts and towards the presence of the senses.
In addition to offering private time for visitors to just spend time alone in the garden or at the farm, individual hosts may also offer events and activities like yoga classes, mediation sessions, and goat petting for kids. Beautiful imagery, luscious smells, birdsongs, and more, gently invite the guest at a Healing Garden to presence.

It’s hard to turn down hamburgers, French fries, potato chips and all of the other junk food that seem to call out to us. However, eating too much junk food can harm your body, particularly if you’re between the ages of 10 and 19.
“Junk food shapes adolescent brains in ways that weaken their ability to think, learn and remember. It can also make it harder to control impulsive behaviors,” said Amy Reichelt, a brain and nutrition specialist at Western University, Canada. “It may even up a teen’s risk of depression and anxiety.”
Reichelt and two other researchers found adolescents are more sensitive than any other age group to processed foods with a lot of fat and sugar. Adolescent brains are still developing the ability to assess risks and control actions. The prefrontal cortex is the part of the brain that tells us we shouldn’t eat chips all the time and helps us resist that urge. But this region is the last to mature - it doesn’t fully develop until we are in our early 20s. Meanwhile, teen brains get more active from rewards for a while. The parts of the brain that make us feel good when we do something pleasurable are fully developed by the teen years.
In fact, these regions are even more sensitive when we are young. That’s because dopamine (多巴胺), a natural chemical that lifts our mood when we experience something good, is especially active in adolescent brains. Therefore, the teen brain has two strikes against it when it comes to resisting junk food. “It has a heightened drive for rewards and reduced self-regulation,” said Reichelt.
So, what’s the best way to say no to junk food Researchers suggest exercise. When we exercise, the brain’s reward system becomes less sensitive to food. Exercise also cause the body to make a protein that helps brain cells grow and boosts connections between the prefrontal cortex and other brain regions. The prefrontal cortex thus can work better to help us make wise decisions and control our impulses.
32. What is the main idea of the second paragraph
A. The effects of eating junk food. B. The causes of favouring junk food.
C. The tendency of sharing junk food. D. The benefits of avoiding junk food.
33. What is the function of the prefrontal cortex
A. It serves as the sense of taste.
B. It promotes teenagers’ spirits.
C. It is partly in charge of self-control.
D. It helps teenagers grow physically mature.
34. What does “it” refer to in the third paragraph
A. The prefrontal cortex. B. The urge.
C. The adolescent brain. D. The body.
35. Why is it hard for teens to give up junk food
A. Junk food is delicious and nutritious.
B. Junk food is popular among young people.
C. Teenagers don’t realize the harm of junk food.
D. Teenagers can feel temporary excitement from junk food.

Belmont Hotel Manila
8.6 Excellent
Based on 6537 reviews.
This is one of the most expensive hotels in Manila as it's near the international airport. My favorite thing about our stay in the hotel was the rooftop view from the top floor of the hotel where the pool was also located. The staff were also very helpful. There's a coffee shop Starbucks on the same building of the hotel and there are a couple of restaurants around the Resorts World area which are easily accessible from the hotel. This hotel turned out to be better than we had expected and it's a great value for your money.
Hyatt Regency Manila City of Dreams
8.8 Excellent
Based on 1785 reviews
Overall, we had a great stay at the Hyatt City of Dreams. There was a minor issue with our room and the Assistant Manager handled our concerns and took care of the situation. The customer service was well deserving of five stars. The rooms are new, modern. We have been to the Philippines many times and we will for sure stay here again next time we are in Manila. Amazing food, new rooms and the best customer service experience: TRONGLY RECOMMENDED.
BSA Twin Tower Ortigas
7.8 Very good
Based on 9984 reviews
We were a group of four and we wanted to stay in any hotel in Manila for the long weekend. The suite was not that spacious but we did not really mind considering the price we paid. The room was equipped with all the basic services. Room also came with free Wi-Fi but the connection was lost at around midnight.

Last summer, I had to stay in the room during the period of my recovery from cancer after the operation. It was unexpected that life highlighted everything that I might tend to take for granted in the normal course.
On the first morning, my children presented me a coffee pot. I liked to begin the day with a cup of coffee and was eager to try the pot.
When I made coffee, it spilled out over the whole table. Fortunately, nobody was there to see my embarrassed look! I kept trying, but each morning would see me wiping up the coffee. Then I realized that if I poured very slowly there would be no spilling.
This was at first a very painful experience. My normal practice was to rush through breakfast so that I could get on with my day. But at that moment I learned not only to pour slowly but to enjoy the experience: the smell, the taste, and the stillness of a new day.
It helped me to reflect upon whether there were other areas of my life 1 was rushing through. Most of life, it seemed. Strangely, those we consider loved ones may go of radar(雷达)when we would expect them to enquire about our well-being. However, others we seldom keep in touch with came into our lives suddenly, full of concern, well-meaning advice and love.
After the recovery period, I started to leave extra time to do even the most ordinary tasks. When shop owners would apologize for keeping me waiting, I would say, "Not a problem, I'm not in a hurry." Even hanging out washing became pleasurable when a couple of extra minutes of standing still, and listening to the birds singing in the trees around me became part of my routine.
Besides, one of my favorite experiences living in the inner city for many years was sitting on the front doorstep of our home spending time with strangers. We sat on the steps, each of us with a cup of coffee in our hands, listening to each other's stories. It was one of the warmest things about living in a busy city.
4. What was the author's life like before the time of recovery from the illness
A. Awkward. B. Relaxing.
C. Hurried. D. Thrilling.
5. How did the author enjoy the pouring-coffee experience
A. By pilling coffee over the table. B. By buying a new pot.
C. By chatting with the strangers. D. By pouring coffee slowly.
6. What happened when the author changed her lifestyle
A. She had more time for reflecting on her past.
B. She found joy in ordinary daily activities.
C. She became impatient with any shop owner.
D. She liked listening to mysteries in busy cities.
7. What is the main purpose of this article
A. To tell people how to make coffee tasty.
B. To advocate enjoying slow-paced life.
C. To show the gift from her children.
D. To recommend making friends with others.

Nowadays, to work remotely, all you need are a computer and an Internet connection. According to a new study, employees who can work from anywhere else are generally happier than those who work onsite(现场的)in an office.
Video conferencing company Owl Labs surveyed 1,202 full-time US workers from the ages of 22 to 65, and discovered that 62 percent of the respondents worked remotely at least some of the time and 38 percent worked onsite. Of the remote workers, 49 percent worked remotely full-time.
As it turns out, working remotely—or the idea of it—makes people happy, 83 percent of the survey respondents agree that the ability to work remotely would make them happier, and 71 percent of workers who do get to work remotely said their job makes them happy, compared with 55 percent of office-only workers.
In the study, full-time remote workers said they're happy in their job, 22 percent more than people who never work remotely. The reasons why respondents said they decided to work remotely were better work-life balance(91 percent), increased productivity/better focus(79 percent), less stress(78 percent), and to avoid a commute(通勤)(78 percent).
One reason why remote workers might be happier is that they were more than twice as likely to earn more than $100,000 per year. And the higher they were on the corporate(公司的)ladder, the more likely survey respondents were to have the privilege of working remotely: The job levels with the greatest percentages of remote workers were founder/CEO-level(55 percent)and vice president(46 percent).
Loyalty is another factor: Remote workers are 13 percent more likely than non-remote workers to stay with their current job for the next five years—making remote work a win-win for employees and employers alike.
Not only are remote employees happier, but they are prepared to work longer hours, according to the report. Remote workers said they work over 40 hours per week, 43 percent more than on-site workers do.
8. What can he learned about the respondents in the survey by Owl Labs
A. 49 percent work remotely full-time.
B. 55 percent are not satisfied with their work.
C. 83 percent prefer to work in an office.
D. About 40 percent are office-only workers.
9. Compared with remote workers, onsite workers are .
A. less loyal B. more productive
C. less creative D. more hardworking
10. It is more likely for those with higher job levels to .
A. live freely B. have double income
C. work remotely D. work less time
11. What is the text mainly about

A few weeks ago, scientists at Ukraine's Vernadsky Research Base in Antarctica found their usually white surrounds were covered in a shocking blood-red. For such a mess, the culprits behind this horrible scene are tiny.
“Our scientists have identified them under a microscope as Chlamydomonasnivalis(雪地衣藻),” said the National Antarctic Scientific Centre of Ukraine in a Facebook post.
These green algae, a type of seaweed, are common in all icy and snowy regions of Earth, from the Arctic to high mountain regions. They lie still during the freezing winter, but once the sunlight warms enough to soften their world, the algae awake, making use of the melt water and sunlight to rapidly bloom.
“The algae need liquid water in order to bloom,” University of Leeds microbiologist Steffi Lutz told Gizmodo in 2016. “The algal blooms contribute to climate change,” the center stated.
A study in 2016 showed that snow algal blooms can decrease the amount of light reflected from the snow by up to 13 percent across one melt season in the Arctic. “This will surely result in higher melt rates,” the researchers wrote.
In 2017 environmental scientists calculated that microbial communities contributed to over a sixth of the snowmelt where they were present in Alaskan ice fields. Their experiments showed that areas with more melt water led to the growth of 50 percent more algae and places with more algae melted further.
This Antarctic summer has certainly seen a lot more melt water than usual. Temperature records keep changing, leading to rapid melting previously only seen in the Northern Hemisphere.

(这是因为多巴胺，它是一种天然的化学物质，当我们体验到美好的事物时，它能提升我们的情绪，在青少年的大脑中尤其活跃。因此，在抵制垃圾食品方面，青少年的大脑有两个劣势。“大脑更想要获得奖励并降低了自我调节能力 ”，Reichelt表示)”可知，青少年吃了垃圾食品后，让他们体验了美好的感觉，这时候非常活跃的多巴胺会让他们情绪高涨，感到兴奋，这就让大脑抵制垃圾食品时更加困难，所以从垃圾食品中感受到的暂时的兴奋让青少年难以拒绝垃圾食品。故选D。

Pianist Jean-Francois Maljean has released a piano piece to commemorate (纪念) the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, which kicked off with a grand opening ceremony held at the National Stadium on Feb 4. Titled For Beijing Olympics, the piano piece, which is about 3 minutes, was asked by the Chinese embassy in Belgium, with the aim of celebrating Chinese New Year and welcoming the Winter Olympics. He also wrote a song to support Wuhan in its fight against COVID-19 in 2020 and another song for Xi’an in December.
Born in Verviers, Belgium, Maljean started to learn the piano at age 6. At about 12, the classically trained pianist became interested in a diverse range of musical genres (类型), especially pop music like that of The Beatles.
He had planned to compose a song and English author Robert Murray, the pianist’s friend, even started to write the lyrics (歌词) about the Olympic Games. However, due to the short time, Maljean ended up just composing a piano piece, which was later released in the form of a music video featuring images of winter sports. “I think the piano piece works even better than a song. Since winter sports mainly give an impression of speed, I composed a mostly very fast piece, though there are some slower moments. And it works very well,” says Maljean, 68, who recorded the piece at his own studio in Belgium. Maljean recalls that he visited the capital and spent some time in China, where he was featured in a documentary for Belgian television. He traveled to many places in China, including Changchun in Jilin province, Guizhou province and Shanghai, and landed in Beijing to visit Olympic sites.
4. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. The introduction of Maljean.
B. The masterpieces of Maljean.
C. Maljean’s works about China.
D. Maljean’s contribution to music.
5. What do we know about Maljean from the passage
A. He is a great skiing enthusiast.
B. He is a classical music composer.
C. His documentary was filmed in Belgium.
D. He travelled to several Chinese provinces.
6. Why does Maljean think the fast piano piece is better than a song
A. Because it reflects the features of winter sports.
B. Because he is more expert at composing pop music.
C. Because it contains Chinese classical music elements.
D. Because the lyrics are not in accordance with the music.
7. Which of the following best describes Maljean
A. Generous and patient. B. Talented and caring.
C. Simple and independent. D. Adventurous and sensitive.
C
Take a good look at the American burying beetle. Once found in 35 states, the insect is assessed by the International Union for Conservation of. Nature as critically endangered. Like the tiger, the American burying beetle has orange and black stripes, like the tiger, the beetle is declining in number. The, tiger is an instantly recognizable symbol of species preservation, but most people aren’t familiar with the beetle.
This difference is an example of the domination of the so-called celebrity species — the fascinating creatures that nonprofits and government agencies use to raise public interest in conservation. Most nonprofit funds for animal protection go to species such as apes, elephants, big cats, rhinoceroses, and giant pandas. Tigers are often rated the most popular animal — and India, ho me to the majority of these big cats, spent more than $49 million on tiger conservation alone in 2019. Meanwhile, many lesser-known species of fish, reptiles, amphibians, and birds weaken in namelessness. Worldwide, more than 35,500 plant and animal species are on the edge of disappearing forever.
This leaves us with a tough situation. Conservation is underfunded, so how do we decide which species to save
One potential solution, the debatable idea of conservation triage, holds that experts need to quickly decide which species can be saved while realizing that others can’t be saved. Conservationists have developed analytical tools to approach the question in a less emotional, but more practical way. Fish and Wildlife Service now uses this knapsack method — inspired by a hiker’s need to fit the most valuable items into a small space — to get the “most bang for their buck” in saving species. The method calculates the most efficient conservation strategies using factors such as costs to recover a species and its likelihood of going extinct.
8. Why is the burying beetle mentioned in the first paragraph
A. To propose a definition. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To reach a conclusion. D. To present an argument.
9. What is the author’s attitude to the lesser-known species
A. Concerned. B. Unclear. C. Optimistic. D. Indifferent.
10. What does the underlined words in the last paragraph probably mean
A. To make the best efforts. B. To take the strictest measures.
C. To maximize the benefits. D. To avoid the worst dangers.
11. What will the author probably talk about in the following paragraph
A. Causes of some animals’ endangerment.
B. Other methods of deciding which species to save.
C. The authorities’ role in reasonable use of funds.
D. An appeal for saving the American burying beetle.

Summer’s here and it won’t be long before school-aged kids across America start complaining that they’re tired of riding their bikes, playing at the park, swimming in the pool…and all the other awesome activities their parents hoped would keep them entertained for the next 10 weeks.
Such rapid-onset boredom could indicate that the kids have amazing powers of recall. A new study shows that the better your short-term memory the faster you feel bored and decide you’ve had enough. The findings appear in the Journal of Consumer Research. “Though boredom can be physical, like when you feel full after eating too much, we were interested in the psychological side of boredom, like when you’re just tired of something.” Noelle Nelson. assistant professor of marketing and consumer behavior at the University of Kansas School of Business, and-her colleague Joseph Redden at the University of Minnesota tried to think outside the lunch box. “Something that was interesting to me is that some people get tired of the same things at very different rates. So if you think about pop songs on the radio, some people must still be enjoying them and requesting them even after hearing them a lot. But a lot of other people are really sick of those same songs.” The difference might have to do with memories of past consumption. For example, studies show that people push away from the dinner table sooner when they’re asked to describe in detail what they ate earlier for lunch.
The findings suggest that marketers could use our desire for their products by figuring out ways to distract (使分心) us and keep us from fully remembering our experiences. We could also trick ourselves into eating less junk food by immersing (使沉浸) ourselves in the memory of a previous snack. As for kids easily bored, just tell them to be fogged (模糊的) about it — it might help them have more fun.
12. What can be learned about the rapid-onset boredom from the passage
A. It is a physical reaction after lunch.
B. It is more likely to happen to children.
C. It is closely related with short-term memory.
D. It occurs physically first and then psychologically.
13. How may people take advantage of the findings
A. Help kids eat more by sharing their feelings about food.
B. Recall activities’ details to improve kids’ memorizing ability.
C. Talk less about previous snacks to reduce junk food consumption.
D. Keep consumers from remembering experiences to promote goods.
14. How does the author make the findings easy to understand
A. By making comparison. B. By analyzing data.
C. By describing processes. D. By giving examples.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Good Memory Makes for Boredom
B. How to Invent Interesting Activities
C. Boring Activities Do Harm to Kids’ Memory
D. Physical Boredom Affects Psychological Feelings

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Still seeking a destination for your holiday We want to inform you of four best places that are probably a mere walk away from your home.
Highlands
This Scottish destination, only accessible on foot or by boat, is Britain’s last wilderness. Over a week, you’ll hike into the Black Hills, cross the peninsula north to south and set sail for hikes on Skye, Rum and Eigg. Finish each day at a beach-side lodge (小屋), with dinner at the award-winning restaurant next door.
Snowdonia
The Snowdonia Way, the only low-level long-distance route, was only created in 2017, and remains unnoticed on the ground. Join the new guided walking trip and you won’t need to concentrate on directions, just the fine views as you pass falls, forests, riversides and Roman roads.
Hadrian’s Wall
Walking along Hadrian’s Wall is like travelling back in time—and even more so if you do it in expert company. Andante’s hike along the ancient barrier is accompanied by a historian every step of the way, who will point out every Roman road, fort, milecastle and inscription, and tell you all about Hadrian’s tactics and Roman daily life.
Dorest
The Isle of Purbeck is ideal for families: the walking is relatively gentle; the beaches are glorious; the range of other attractions varied; and the buses handy, if little legs get tired. Over a few days, mix rambling the coast and hills (routes are around five or six miles) with steam train rides and sea swims, playing knights at ruined Corfe Castle and fossil-hunting at Kimmeridge Bay.
21. What can we know about Highlands
A. It is very modern. B. It is a guided trip.
C It can be reached by bus. D. It provides quality dinner.

CHARITY HONORS SON’S MEMORY
Nonprofit providing gifts to 18 to 39-year-olds is raising memory
By PAM KRAOEN
RAMONA, Calif. — Before he died from cancer at age 29, Silas River Bennett spent his final months taking photographs of the world around him, emailing friends, buying Christmas gifts for his sisters and encouraging his family to give to the needy. “What was important to him was to have a sense of himself outside of cancer,” said his mom, Lorranie Kerz of Ramona.
Bennett went to the hospital in fall 2007 with severe back pains. He was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer that had spread to his bones. Doctors believed the cancer was environmentally caused, perhaps by exposure to some poisonous gas in the basement where he lived or poisons in the paints he used as a painter.
Kerz said her son was a man with a great sense of humor and a very creative mind. He had an “electric intellect” who loved debating, watching “Jeopardy!” — a game show on TV and telling stories with his photographs. After Bennett died in May 2008, Kerz wanted to honor the creative spirit and generosity of her son, whose nickname was “Sy”. The result was Sy’s Fund, a Romona-based all-volunteer national nonprofit that has fulfilled the wishes of more than 250 people aged 18 to 39 who are battling cancer. Sy’s Fund provides them with small gifts — such as laptops, cameras, guitar lessons, or printers — to lift their spirits and refocus their energies in a positive direction.
The group raises money through three fundraisers each year, such as golf tournaments and 5K races. This year, because of the COVID-19, they’re trying a virtual fundraiser for the first time. After registering online, participants must download the “Let’s Roam” app to their phones to donate. For those who want to apply for a wish grant, visit sysfund.org. The organization is also seeking more volunteer members. For details, email Kerz at lorraine@sysfund.org.
24. Why did Kerz found Sy’s Fund
A. To honour his son. B. To get rid of cancer.
C. To make his son famous. D. To gain more profit.
25. What can we learn about Sy
A. His cancer was caused by poisonous paints.
B. He spent his final months preparing for the fund.
C. He was energetic and lived a short but colorful life.
D. He died more than one year after he was diagnosed with cancer.
26. How does Sy’s fund help the needy
A. By seeking more volunteers to tell stories.
B. By downloading some apps to the phones.
C. By providing cancer patients with small gifts.
D. By selling some things to cancer patients at a low price.

Believe it or not, 43,000,000 Americans are gardening. That is about one in six. Gardeners, of course, come in many varieties.
Abhi Arora used to be in the tech field. Like so many people, he sat at a desk all day, staring at a screen. Due to the stress of always staying indoors and in front of a computer, he started getting anxiety issues. To recharge and refresh, he visited a local garden in California. He noticed the shift in his mood, emotions, and improvement in his mental health overall during each visit.
Arora became friends and later business partners with the garden's owner, farmer Rishi Kumar, Kumar studied computer science in college but became obsessed with plants and gardening. He now runs Sarvodaya Farms in Pomona, Califomia. "Rishi and I met an old man who was healing himself and his son through the power of gardens. It was then that I realized that we could help others feel the same connection to the healing power of gardens," Arora says. The two co-founded Healing Gardens, an online marketplace where people can rent their organic urban gardens or farms for use by the hour.
“I've always had a love for plants and wildlife, so with Healing Gardens we want to bring easy access to the wellness benefits of nature to our community and at the same time do our part in regenerating our planet." Arora says.
Healing Gardens is based on the simple idea that most people enjoy being surrounded by plants and animals. A healing garden is a restorative outdoor space that has been specifically designed to steer the restless mind away from circling thoughts and towards the presence of the senses.
In addition to offering private time for visitors to just spend time alone in the garden or at the farm, individual hosts may also offer events and activities like yoga classes, mediation sessions, and goat petting for kids. Beautiful imagery, luscious smells, birdsongs, and more, gently invite the guest at a Healing Garden to presence.

It’s hard to turn down hamburgers, French fries, potato chips and all of the other junk food that seem to call out to us. However, eating too much junk food can harm your body, particularly if you’re between the ages of 10 and 19.
“Junk food shapes adolescent brains in ways that weaken their ability to think, learn and remember. It can also make it harder to control impulsive behaviors,” said Amy Reichelt, a brain and nutrition specialist at Western University, Canada. “It may even up a teen’s risk of depression and anxiety.”
Reichelt and two other researchers found adolescents are more sensitive than any other age group to processed foods with a lot of fat and sugar. Adolescent brains are still developing the ability to assess risks and control actions. The prefrontal cortex is the part of the brain that tells us we shouldn’t eat chips all the time and helps us resist that urge. But this region is the last to mature - it doesn’t fully develop until we are in our early 20s. Meanwhile, teen brains get more active from rewards for a while. The parts of the brain that make us feel good when we do something pleasurable are fully developed by the teen years.
In fact, these regions are even more sensitive when we are young. That’s because dopamine (多巴胺), a natural chemical that lifts our mood when we experience something good, is especially active in adolescent brains. Therefore, the teen brain has two strikes against it when it comes to resisting junk food. “It has a heightened drive for rewards and reduced self-regulation,” said Reichelt.
So, what’s the best way to say no to junk food Researchers suggest exercise. When we exercise, the brain’s reward system becomes less sensitive to food. Exercise also cause the body to make a protein that helps brain cells grow and boosts connections between the prefrontal cortex and other brain regions. The prefrontal cortex thus can work better to help us make wise decisions and control our impulses.
32. What is the main idea of the second paragraph
A. The effects of eating junk food. B. The causes of favouring junk food.
C. The tendency of sharing junk food. D. The benefits of avoiding junk food.
33. What is the function of the prefrontal cortex
A. It serves as the sense of taste.
B. It promotes teenagers’ spirits.
C. It is partly in charge of self-control.
D. It helps teenagers grow physically mature.
34. What does “it” refer to in the third paragraph
A. The prefrontal cortex. B. The urge.
C. The adolescent brain. D. The body.
35. Why is it hard for teens to give up junk food
A. Junk food is delicious and nutritious.
B. Junk food is popular among young people.
C. Teenagers don’t realize the harm of junk food.
D. Teenagers can feel temporary excitement from junk food.

Belmont Hotel Manila
8.6 Excellent
Based on 6537 reviews.
This is one of the most expensive hotels in Manila as it's near the international airport. My favorite thing about our stay in the hotel was the rooftop view from the top floor of the hotel where the pool was also located. The staff were also very helpful. There's a coffee shop Starbucks on the same building of the hotel and there are a couple of restaurants around the Resorts World area which are easily accessible from the hotel. This hotel turned out to be better than we had expected and it's a great value for your money.
Hyatt Regency Manila City of Dreams
8.8 Excellent
Based on 1785 reviews
Overall, we had a great stay at the Hyatt City of Dreams. There was a minor issue with our room and the Assistant Manager handled our concerns and took care of the situation. The customer service was well deserving of five stars. The rooms are new, modern. We have been to the Philippines many times and we will for sure stay here again next time we are in Manila. Amazing food, new rooms and the best customer service experience: TRONGLY RECOMMENDED.
BSA Twin Tower Ortigas
7.8 Very good
Based on 9984 reviews
We were a group of four and we wanted to stay in any hotel in Manila for the long weekend. The suite was not that spacious but we did not really mind considering the price we paid. The room was equipped with all the basic services. Room also came with free Wi-Fi but the connection was lost at around midnight.

Last summer, I had to stay in the room during the period of my recovery from cancer after the operation. It was unexpected that life highlighted everything that I might tend to take for granted in the normal course.
On the first morning, my children presented me a coffee pot. I liked to begin the day with a cup of coffee and was eager to try the pot.
When I made coffee, it spilled out over the whole table. Fortunately, nobody was there to see my embarrassed look! I kept trying, but each morning would see me wiping up the coffee. Then I realized that if I poured very slowly there would be no spilling.
This was at first a very painful experience. My normal practice was to rush through breakfast so that I could get on with my day. But at that moment I learned not only to pour slowly but to enjoy the experience: the smell, the taste, and the stillness of a new day.
It helped me to reflect upon whether there were other areas of my life 1 was rushing through. Most of life, it seemed. Strangely, those we consider loved ones may go of radar(雷达)when we would expect them to enquire about our well-being. However, others we seldom keep in touch with came into our lives suddenly, full of concern, well-meaning advice and love.
After the recovery period, I started to leave extra time to do even the most ordinary tasks. When shop owners would apologize for keeping me waiting, I would say, "Not a problem, I'm not in a hurry." Even hanging out washing became pleasurable when a couple of extra minutes of standing still, and listening to the birds singing in the trees around me became part of my routine.
Besides, one of my favorite experiences living in the inner city for many years was sitting on the front doorstep of our home spending time with strangers. We sat on the steps, each of us with a cup of coffee in our hands, listening to each other's stories. It was one of the warmest things about living in a busy city.
4. What was the author's life like before the time of recovery from the illness
A. Awkward. B. Relaxing.
C. Hurried. D. Thrilling.
5. How did the author enjoy the pouring-coffee experience
A. By pilling coffee over the table. B. By buying a new pot.
C. By chatting with the strangers. D. By pouring coffee slowly.
6. What happened when the author changed her lifestyle
A. She had more time for reflecting on her past.
B. She found joy in ordinary daily activities.
C. She became impatient with any shop owner.
D. She liked listening to mysteries in busy cities.
7. What is the main purpose of this article
A. To tell people how to make coffee tasty.
B. To advocate enjoying slow-paced life.
C. To show the gift from her children.
D. To recommend making friends with others.

Nowadays, to work remotely, all you need are a computer and an Internet connection. According to a new study, employees who can work from anywhere else are generally happier than those who work onsite(现场的)in an office.
Video conferencing company Owl Labs surveyed 1,202 full-time US workers from the ages of 22 to 65, and discovered that 62 percent of the respondents worked remotely at least some of the time and 38 percent worked onsite. Of the remote workers, 49 percent worked remotely full-time.
As it turns out, working remotely—or the idea of it—makes people happy, 83 percent of the survey respondents agree that the ability to work remotely would make them happier, and 71 percent of workers who do get to work remotely said their job makes them happy, compared with 55 percent of office-only workers.
In the study, full-time remote workers said they're happy in their job, 22 percent more than people who never work remotely. The reasons why respondents said they decided to work remotely were better work-life balance(91 percent), increased productivity/better focus(79 percent), less stress(78 percent), and to avoid a commute(通勤)(78 percent).
One reason why remote workers might be happier is that they were more than twice as likely to earn more than $100,000 per year. And the higher they were on the corporate(公司的)ladder, the more likely survey respondents were to have the privilege of working remotely: The job levels with the greatest percentages of remote workers were founder/CEO-level(55 percent)and vice president(46 percent).
Loyalty is another factor: Remote workers are 13 percent more likely than non-remote workers to stay with their current job for the next five years—making remote work a win-win for employees and employers alike.
Not only are remote employees happier, but they are prepared to work longer hours, according to the report. Remote workers said they work over 40 hours per week, 43 percent more than on-site workers do.
8. What can he learned about the respondents in the survey by Owl Labs
A. 49 percent work remotely full-time.
B. 55 percent are not satisfied with their work.
C. 83 percent prefer to work in an office.
D. About 40 percent are office-only workers.
9. Compared with remote workers, onsite workers are .
A. less loyal B. more productive
C. less creative D. more hardworking
10. It is more likely for those with higher job levels to .
A. live freely B. have double income
C. work remotely D. work less time
11. What is the text mainly about
A. The choice of working sites. B. The benefits of working remotely.
C. The tendency of future jobs. D. The qualities of offsite employees.

A few weeks ago, scientists at Ukraine's Vernadsky Research Base in Antarctica found their usually white surrounds were covered in a shocking blood-red. For such a mess, the culprits behind this horrible scene are tiny.
“Our scientists have identified them under a microscope as Chlamydomonasnivalis(雪地衣藻),” said the National Antarctic Scientific Centre of Ukraine in a Facebook post.
These green algae, a type of seaweed, are common in all icy and snowy regions of Earth, from the Arctic to high mountain regions. They lie still during the freezing winter, but once the sunlight warms enough to soften their world, the algae awake, making use of the melt water and sunlight to rapidly bloom.
“The algae need liquid water in order to bloom,” University of Leeds microbiologist Steffi Lutz told Gizmodo in 2016. “The algal blooms contribute to climate change,” the center stated.
A study in 2016 showed that snow algal blooms can decrease the amount of light reflected from the snow by up to 13 percent across one melt season in the Arctic. “This will surely result in higher melt rates,” the researchers wrote.
In 2017 environmental scientists calculated that microbial communities contributed to over a sixth of the snowmelt where they were present in Alaskan ice fields. Their experiments showed that areas with more melt water led to the growth of 50 percent more algae and places with more algae melted further.
This Antarctic summer has certainly seen a lot more melt water than usual. Temperature records keep changing, leading to rapid melting previously only seen in the Northern Hemisphere.
12. What does the underlined word “culprits” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Risks. B. Chances.
C. Effects. D. Criminals.
13. What can we know about Chlamydomonasnivalis
A. They can be found anywhere. B. They are sensitive to temperature.
C. They grow slower than before. D. They survive only one melt season.
14. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs
A. Ice and snow will soon disappear in the Antarctic.
B. Microbial communities bring about extreme weathers.
C. The Southern Hemisphere is warmer than the other parts.
D. Climate change and algae growth interact with each other.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Why Snow Turned Blood-red. B. How Algae Began in the Arctic.
C. Why Climate Changes Greatly. D. How the Snow Reflects Sunlight.
