Cologne, Germany
The chocolate capital of Germany, Cologne is the home of the Stollwerck chocolate company. For the 150th anniversary of the company, museum exhibit was created to celebrate their history. Since then, the exhibit has grown into an entire museum. The Imhoff Stollwerck museum has interactive exhibits, samples and a giant chocolate fountain.
Tain L'Hermitage, France
Tain L'Hermitage is the home of the world-renowned chocolate producer, Valrhona. A great stop is the Valrhona Ecole du Grand Chocolate, a school that teaches professional chefs, chocolatiers and caterers. They even host a three-day course that teaches amateurs how to make desserts.
Hershey, America
Dubbed "the Sweetest Place on Earth", the town originally called Derry Church was renamed Hershey in 1906 due to the popularity of Hershey chocolates. Chocolate-town has branded itself as an American chocolate center and some popular chocolate attractions include Hershey's Chocolate World, The Hershey Story Museum and The Chocolate Spa.

The health of millions could be at risk because supplies of medicinal plants are being used up. These plants are used to make traditional medicine, including drugs to fight cancer. “The loss of medicinal plants is a quiet disaster,” says Sara Oldfield, secretary general of the NGO Botanic Gardens Conservation International.
Most people worldwide rely on herbal (药草的) medicines which are got mostly from wild plants. But some 15,000 of the 50,000 medicinal species are under threat of dying out, according to a report from the international conservation group Plantlife. Shortages have been reported in China, India, Kenya, Nepal, Tanzania and Uganda.
Over-harvesting does the most harm, though pollution and competition from invasive species (入侵物种) and habitat destruction all contribute. “Businessmen generally harvest medicinal plants, not caring about sustainability (可持续性),” the Plantlife report says, “Damage is serious partly because they have no idea about it, but it is mainly because such collection is unorganized.” Medicinal trees at risk include the Himalayan yew and the African cherry, which are used to treat some cancers.
The solution, says the report’s author, Alan Hamilton, is to encourage local people to protect these plants. Ten projects ran by Plantlife in India, Pakistan, China, Nepal, Uganda and Kenya showed this method can succeed. In Uganda, the project has kept a sustainable supply of low-cost cancer treatments, and in China a public-run medicinal plant project has been created for the first time.
“Improving health, earning an income and keeping cultural traditions are important in encouraging people to protect medicinal plants,” says Hamilton, “You have to pay attention to what people are interested in.”
Ghillean Prance, the former director of the Royal Botanic Gardens in London, agrees that medicinal plants are in need of protection. “Not nearly enough is being done. We are destroying the very plants that are of most use to us.”
24. From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that ________.
A. millions of people are threatened with cancer
B. most countries see a shortage of herbal medicines
C. about two thirds of medicinal species will disappear
D. a number of medicinal species are in danger of extinction
25. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to ________.
A. pollution B. sustainability
C. over-harvesting D. other species’ invasion
26. What can be inferred from the passage
A. Protecting medicinal plants has a long way to go.
B. Local people don’t know how to protect medicinal plants.
C. Ghillean Prance is optimistic about medicinal plants’ future.
D. China has made great progress in protecting medicinal plants.
27. Which of the following is the best title of the passage
A. Low-cost Cancer Treatment
B. The Importance of Sustainability
C. Medicinal Plants Facing Extinction
D. Sustainable Development of the Environment
C
In a study involving sweat samples from 335 people, trained dogs sniffed out 97 percent of the coronavirus cases that had been identified by PCR tests and all 31 COVID-19 cases among 192 people who didn’t have symptoms, researchers reported.
These findings are evidence that dogs could be effective for mass screening efforts at places such as airports or concerts and may provide friendly alternatives for testing people who fear the tests, says Dominique Grandjean in France.
Dogs’ noses also identified more COVID-19 cases than did antigen (抗原) tests, but sometimes mistook another virus for the coronavirus, Grandjean and colleagues found. What’s more, evidence suggests the dogs can pick up cases 48 hours before people test positive by PCR.
In the study, dogs were trained in coronavirus detection by rewarding them with toys—usually tennis balls. “It’s playtime for them,” Grandjean says. It takes about three to six weeks, depending on the dog’s experience with odor detection, to train a dog to pick out COVID-19 cases from sweat samples. For detection, the dogs sniffed used face masks or housing sweat samples collected from human volunteers’ underarms. “Results showed that dogs perform as well as or even better than PCR tests for detecting the virus that causes COVID-19,” Furton says. He and colleagues have used dogs at schools, a music festival and in a small trial screening airline employees for coronavirus infections.
“One of the biggest advantages dogs have over other tests is their speed,” Furton says. “Even with what we call a rapid test, you’re still going to have to wait tens of minutes or even hours, where the dog in a matter of seconds can make a response.” “However, dogs take time to train and there currently aren’t even enough dogs trained to detect explosives, let alone diseases,” Otto says.
Another drawback is that people don’t think of them as high-tech, though they’re one of the highest-tech devices we have.
28. What can we learn about the study from the first paragraph
A. Dogs were trained to test COVID-19.
B. Sweat samples are perfect to test COVID-19.
C. Dogs can identify most COVID-19 cases.
D. PCR tests failed to meet public expectation.
29. What’s the disadvantage of using dogs for COVID-19 tests
A. Dogs may be unfriendly to people when doing tests.
B. Dogs lack experience dealing with large screens.
C. Dogs may need a long time to identify the disease.
D. Dogs may recognize other diseases as coronavirus.
30. What can we infer about trained dogs according to Furton
A. They perform well at detecting COVID-19 virus.
B. They do better at detecting explosives than viruses.
C. They are widely used in public places like schools.
D. They like to be rewarded with toys after training.
31. What’s Otto’s attitude to getting dogs to do COVID-19 tests
A. Supportive. B. Disapproving. C. Fearful. D. Confident.
D
A highly expected project to get plastic out of the massive pool of ocean debris (碎片) is ready to begin its first period from Alameda, California. The creators of the project, called the Ocean Cleanup, say their system can remove 90 percent of the plastic in the ocean by 2040.
It’s those larger pieces that the cleanup system will stop. The system features a 600-meter-long line of unmoored booms (未停泊的水栅) that act as an artificial shoreline traveling with the wind, waves and ocean currents while rounding up plastic debris. Beneath the surface, the booms drag a 3-meter-long skirt, through which only the tiniest bits of plastic can escape. Currents will naturally push the line of booms into a U-shape, herding plastic particles (颗粒) so they’re easier to collect.
The booms are also tricked out with solar-powered lights, anti-collision (防冲撞) systems and satellite positioning to avoid ships and help project scientists keep track of the system’s location. Periodically, support ships will cart the collected plastic bits back to land for recycling.
The launch of “System 001” will be a test for the first of a planned fleet of about 60 such systems. “Once launched, System 001 will undergo two weeks of field testing off the California coast,” Lebreton says. If all goes well, it will head to the North Pacific, arriving within five weeks of the launch date. “We’re hoping to bring the first plastic back before the end of the year,” he says.
The Ocean Cleanup representatives say their project is meant to work consistently with such upstream measures. “Even while trying to change human behaviors, it’s still worth trying to remove whatever is already out there floating near the surface. The whole point is that we want to try to collect as much as possible,” Lebreton says.
Whatever the result of this deployment, some experts trying to tackle the plastic trash problem applaud the Ocean Cleanup for raising awareness around the issue.
32. What can we know about the cleanup system
A. It has been launched for several times.
B. It’s also called the Ocean Cleanup.
C. People don’t think much of it.
D. It may remove most large ocean plastic.
33. What’s the use of the skirt the booms drag
A. Acting as a shoreline. B. Traveling with waves.
C. Collecting plastic particles. D. Pushing booms’ line into a U-shape.
34. What does the underlined part “tricked out” mean in paragraph 3
A. Equipped. B. Filled. C. Covered. D. Poured.
35. How do some experts view the Ocean Cleanup
A. It’s vital for protecting the ocean from plastic waste.
B. It contributes to informing people of ocean pollution.
C. It’s far from perfect and needs improvement before use.
D. It has won applause from ocean-protection organizations.

We have a problem that is deeply rooted in our world today. When it 61 (come) to the holidays, people tend to forget that it’s the season of giving rather than receiving. We tend to be more 62 (interest) in what we’ll receive on Christmas morning instead of looking at the holidays as an opportunity 63 (help) out those who don’t have it as good as we do. So how can we change the culture around the holidays and make sure that people are emphasizing the time to give as much as they are looking forward to opening up their stockings This is a question worth 64 (think) about. Giving 65 (selfless) is the right thing to do, though many of us 66 (challenge) by the task. Whether or not we have much money to spare, it isn’t always easy to give away 67 we have worked so hard for, especially when we have set financial 68 (goal) — saving for retirement, a vacation or a 69 (rain) day. Even with so many reasons to be unwilling, the advantages of giving outweigh them all. When we give to those in need, we make a positive difference 70 the lives of others and our own.

Yesterday, when I complained to my mom about too little entertainment, she share the story of her youth to me. In the 1980s, neither iPads nor smartphones were invented. Each time when evenings approached, the children around would crowd into the only house where had a television. We stared at the small screen until the program ended. Parent would make every effort to drag their children to bed when it was getting lately. But now, iPads and smartphones have taken place of televisions.

Dear Peter,
So glad to hear from you! And now I’m more than happy to share something about Chinese tea culture in reply to your last e-mail.
Chinese tea culture started about 4000 years ago which enjoys a long history and a good reputation as well. Not only has drinking tea gradually become an amazing tradition, but also drinking tea is indispensable to a leisure life in China.
Some Chinese believe that tea benefits people’s health a lot. Apparently, drinking a cup of tea makes people relaxed and refreshed. what's more, tea is also regarded as
a medium for social communications where people usually treat guests or friends to tea drinking.
Probably, you’ve got a general picture about tea culture after my introduction. Then, how about coming to China to experience it yourself Maybe, you will fall in love with it.
Yours,
Li Hua
部分解析
A篇
【答案】21. B 22. C 23. C
这是一篇应用文。主要介绍了四个以巧克力著名的旅游目的地。
细节理解题。根据Tain L'Hermitage, France中“A great stop is the Valrhona Ecole du Grand Chocolate, a school that teaches professional chefs, chocolatiers and caterers.”（Valrhona Ecole du Grand Chocolate是很好的一站，这所学校教授专业厨师、巧克力师和餐饮师。）可知，Tain L'Hermitage最适合喜欢自己动手制作巧克力的巧克力爱好者。故选B项。
细节理解题。根据Zurich, Switzerland中“The train departs from Montreux and makes a stop in Gruyeres where Gruyere cheese is made before finally arriving in Broc where guests get a tour of the Cailler-Nestle factory.”（火车从Montreux出发，在Gruyeres停留，那里是格鲁耶尔奶酪的生产地，最后到达Broc，客人可以参观Cailler-Nestle工厂。）可知，巧克力爱好者选择瑞士是因为可以参观巧克力工厂。故选C项。
细节理解题。根据Cologne, Germany中“The chocolate capital of Germany, Cologne is the home of the Stollwerck chocolate company.”（作为德国的巧克力之都，科隆是斯托尔韦克巧克力公司的所在地。）Tain L'Hermitage, France中“A great stop is the Valrhona Ecole du Grand Chocolate, a school that teaches professional chefs, chocolatiers and caterers.”（Valrhona Ecole du Grand Chocolate是很好的一站，这所学校教授专业厨师、巧克力师和餐饮师。）Hershey, America中“Chocolate-town has branded itself as an American chocolate center and some popular chocolate attractions include Hershey's Chocolate World, The Hershey Story Museum and The Chocolate Spa.”（巧克力镇已将自己打造成美国的巧克力中心，一些受欢迎的巧克力景点包括好时巧克力世界、好时故事博物馆和巧克力水疗中心。）以及Zurich, Switzerland中“The train departs from Montreux and makes a stop in Gruyeres where Gruyere cheese is made before finally arriving in Broc where guests get a tour of the Cailler-Nestle factory.”（火车从Montreux出发，在Gruyeres停留，那里是格鲁耶尔奶酪的生产地，最后到达Broc，客人可以参观Cailler-Nestle工厂。）可知，这些地点的共同点都是因为巧克力而出名。故选C项。
B篇
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. A 27. C
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了某些药用植物濒临灭绝的现状，导致的原因及解决办法。
【24题解析】
细节理解题。根据第一段“because supplies of medicinal plants are being used up”（因为药用植物的供应正在耗尽）和第二段“But some 15,000 of the 50,000 medicinal species are under threat of dying out”（但在5万种药用植物中，约有1.5万种正面临灭绝的威胁）可知，在5万种药用植物中，约有15000种正面临灭绝的威胁，所以可知有相当一部分药用植物面临灭绝。故选D。
【25题解析】
词句猜测题。根据上一句“Businessmen generally harvest medicinal plants, not caring about sustainability (可持续性),” the Plantlife report says, “damage is serious partly because they have no idea about it, but it is mainly because such collection is unorganized”.”（一般商人收获药用植物，不关心药用植物的可持续发展，Plantlife报告中说，“损伤严重的部分原因是因为征收药用植物的商人对它一无所知，更主要原因是这样的征收是没有组织性的。”）根据上下文可知，这句话说的是商人只知征收，对药物严重损伤，部分原因是不知道要让药物可持续生长，即征收药用植物的商人对药用植物的可持续性生长一无所知。故选B。
【26题解析】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Not nearly enough is being done. We are destroying the very plants that are of most use to us.”（我们做的还远远不够。我们正在摧毁对我们最有用的植物。）可知，在保护药用植物方面做的还远远不够，还在对它们造成破坏。这项工作任重道远，故选A。
【27题解析】
主旨大意题。文章介绍了某些药用植物濒临灭绝的现状，导致的原因及解决办法。C项“濒临灭绝的药用植物”适合作为标题。故选C。
C篇
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人们的研究证明，用狗来对人进行新冠检测，检测的结果高效、准确，但是狗需要培训才能从事这种检测任务，这就使原本很紧张的警犬资源更加短缺。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段内容“In a study involving sweat samples from 335 people, trained dogs sniffed out 97 percent of the coronavirus cases that had been identified by PCR tests and all 31 COVID-19 cases among 192 people who didn’t have symptoms, researchers reported.(研究人员报告说，在一项涉及335人的汗液样本的研究中，经过训练的狗嗅出了PCR检测中97%的冠状病毒病例，以及192名没有症状的人中的全部31例COVID-19病例。)”可知，这项研究是让经过训练的狗去闻来自人体的汗水样品，结果，这些狗把人群中97%的新冠病例和全部的31例无症状都识别出来了，即，这些狗能识别大部分的新冠病例。故选C项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段内容“Dogs’ noses also identified more COVID-19 cases than did antigen tests, but sometimes mistook another virus for the coronavirus, Grandjean and colleagues found.(Grandjean和同事们发现，狗的鼻子也比抗原测试能识别更多的COVID-19病例，但有时会把另一种病毒误认为冠状病毒。)”说到狗被用来识别新冠病人时，有时候会把别的病毒当作新冠病毒。故选D项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段内容“Results showed that dogs perform as well as or even better than PCR tests for detecting the virus that causes COVID-19, Furton says.(Furton说，结果显示，在检测导致COVID-19的病毒方面，狗狗的表现与PCR测试一样好，甚至更好。)”可知，训练之后的狗在检测出导致新冠肺炎的病毒方面与PCR的检测效果一样会，甚至更好，由此可推知，它们在检测COVID-19病毒方面表现良好。故选A项。

细节理解题。根据第一段“The creators of the project, called the Ocean Cleanup, say their system can remove 90 percent of the plastic in the ocean by 2040.(这个名为“海洋清理”的项目的创建者表示，到2040年，他们的系统可以清除海洋中90%的塑料)”和第二段第一句“It’s those larger pieces that the cleanup system will stop.(清理系统会截留下那些更大的碎片)”可知，清理系统可能会去除大部分海洋塑料。故选D。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Beneath the surface, the booms drag a 3-meter-long skirt, through which only the tiniest bits of plastic can escape. Currents will naturally push the line of booms into a U-shape, herding plastic particles (颗粒) so they’re easier to collect.(在海面下，围油栅拖着一条3米长的裙子，只有最微小的塑料碎片可以从中逃脱。水流会自然地将吊杆线推成U形，聚集塑料颗粒，以便更容易收集)”可知，吊杆拖的裙子外罩是为了收集塑料颗粒，故选C。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“with solar-powered lights, anti-collision (防冲撞) systems and satellite positioning to avoid ships and help project scientists keep track of the system’s location(太阳能灯、防撞系统和卫星定位，以避开船只，并帮助项目科学家跟踪系统的位置)”可知，这个设备还配有太阳能灯、防碰撞系统和卫星定位设施，故画线词意思是“配有”。故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Whatever the result of this deployment, some experts trying to tackle the plastic trash problem applaud the Ocean Cleanup for raising awareness around the issue.(无论这一部署的结果如何，一些试图解决塑料垃圾问题的专家对“海洋清理”提高人们对这一问题的认识表示赞赏)”可推知，他们认为这个项目能起到让人们了解海洋污染问题的作用。故选B。
