What is identity theft
Identity theft occurs when someone steals your personal information to take over your credit accounts, open new ones, access bank accounts, or commit many other crimes in your name and at your expense. When it strikes, the effects can be disastrous. What's more, because it frequently involves no physical theft, identity theft may not be noticed by its victims until significant damage has already been done—often several months and thousands of pounds later. It's estimated that
more than 100,000 people are affected by identity theft in the UK each year, costing the British economy over 1.3 billion annually.
How does it happen
These are some of the ways crooks get hold of your personal information:
Fake emails
You may receive an email seemingly from, say, your bank requesting that you follow a link and key information into a website that looks very similar to your bank's own site but is in fact a fake.
Pretext phone calls
A crook pretending to be an official from, for example, your bank may phone up asking you to give personal or account details as a security check.
Dishonest people
Sometimes sales assistants, unbeknown (不知情的) to you, swipe your card through a machine which records its details. At the workplace, a fellow employee can use your personal details fraudulently.
How can you protect yourself
Be careful who you give your personal details to, and tear up documents like credit-card slips
before you throw them away. Don't make this serious crime easy for crooks!
21．What do we know about identity theft according to the passage
A．It is a frequent physical theft.
B．It is only committed by strangers.
C．It is easy to be noticed by victims.
D．It is costly to individuals and society.
22．Identity theft may happen when ____.
A．you receive an email from your bank
B．you give personal details to a fake website
C．you are requested to pay in cash by sales assistants
D．you tear bank documents before throwing them away
23．What is the text
A．A financial survey. B．A book review.
C．A security report. D．A history paper.

Forty years ago, a simple act of kindness would forever shape the course of a young refugee's life when she set foot in Canada for the first time. Dr. Nhung Tran—Davies was only five years old when she and her family arrived at the Edmonton airport in 1979.They had run away from their home because of the war and were living in a Malaysian refugee camp before a Canadian church sponsored them to immigrate to Canada, When they passed through the gates of the airport, a young girl named Adrienne was waiting for Tran—Davies with a special gift. "This little girl presented me a little doll. It lit up my heart, and in that moment, it meant everything to me," Tran—Davies told CTV's Your Morning on Thursday. "The doll came to represent all the kindness, compassion(同情), and generosity of Canadians, and I believed that our lives would become better."
And while it may have seemed like a small gesture, that girl had an effect for Tran—Davies who was inspired to become a doctor and help of hers. "Knowing now that all that I have, and all that I've become, is because of this simple act of kindness, I live to this day to play forward the kindness," she said.
Tran—Davies has done this by recently sponsoring a refugee family who also ran away from the war. When the family she sponsored arrived at the Edmonton airport, Tran—Davies stood at the gates with a doll of her own for the youngest daughter Alma.
"It was my turn now, 40 years later. It was just an amazing, important moment for myself, but I think it meant something to her, because I know that in 40 years it will be her turn to make Canada a more beautiful place," she said.
As for the original doll Tran—Davies received, it's being displayed across the country in a travelling exhibit called Refuge Canada. The doll also inspired Tran—Davies to write a children's book titled The Doll, which describes her experiences and how a single act of kindness can be
passed on for years to come.
24．Why did Tran—Davies go to Canada forty years ago
A．To escape from the war. B．To live a different life.
C．To pass on her kindness. D．To continue further study.
25．What is not one of the impacts that the doll had on Tran—Davies
A．It gave her the hope for a better life.
B．It inspired her to be kind and help others.
C．It made her set a career goal of being a doctor.
D．It changed her original impression of Canadians.
26．What did Tran—Davies do to pay back the little girl's kindness
A．She donated money to the poor.
B．She improved refugees' living conditions.
C．She helped a refugee family come to Canada.
D．She provided free medical services to refugees.
27．Why did Tran—Davies say "It was my turn now,40 years later"in the sixth paragraph
A．She contributed much to Canada.
B．She gave Alma a doll on her arrival.
C．She passed the original doll to Alma.
D．She showed the refuge family around Edmonton.

Many of us spend part of each day surrounded by strangers, whether on our daily commute(上下班往返), or sitting in park or cafe. But most of them remain just that-strangers.
However, new evidence has shown that plucking up(鼓起) the courage to strike up conversation might be good for our health. Nicholas Epley from the University of Chicago and Juliana Schroeder from the University of California are behavioral(行为的) scientists. They wanted to know whether solitude is a more positive experience than interacting with strangers, or if people misunderstand the consequences of distant social connections. They found that many people feel uncomfortable and frightened talking to others and their research suggested that when we make an initial conversation "we consistently underestimate(低估) how much a new person likes us." It seems we think that all the things could go wrong and why someone wouldn't want to talk with us.
Their research involved an experiment with a group of Chicago commuters and found that"every participant in our experiment who actually tried to talk to a stranger found the person sitting next to them was happy to chat."From this and other research,the conclusion is that connecting with strangers is surprisingly pleasant and it has a positive impact on our well-being.It's true that talking can make you feel happier and happiness can lead to better mental health.
However, if you're an introvert(性格内向者），the thought of speaking to someone new might make you anxious. But the American research found "both extroverts(性格外向者) and introverts are happier when they are asked to behave in an extroverted manner." So maybe, if you're a loner, it's time to come out of your shell and make some small talk with a stranger-it could be the beginning of a new friendship.
28．What does the underlined word "solitude" in paragraph 2 mean
A．Being calm. B．Being pleasant.
C．Being alone. D．Being healthy.
29．Why might we not want to speak to a stranger
A．Because we don't trust a new person.
B．Because we can't find a common topic.
C．Because we like distant social connections.
D．Because we feel the stranger may dislike us.
30．What could help start a new friendship
A．Making a small talk. B．Sitting next to a stranger.
C．Sharing personal details. D．Behaving in polite manner.
31．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．How to be an extrovert. B．Talking to strangers.
C．How to speak to strangers. D．Making new friends.

With races delayed and outdoor exercise limited, COVID-19 has put the brakes on China's previously booming marathon industry as event organizers struggle to make ends meet during the crisis. The sparse turnout（到场人数）of runners at Beijing's Olympic Forest Park these days bears witness to the decline.
Despite the successful containment of the outbreak in China, fears over the potential risks of mass gatherings clearly remain within the running community, while the virus-enforced business shutdown has created a severe challenge to organizers and promoters involved in the sport. Event organizers are struggling to survive through the crisis with the majority of their source of income dried up.
Last Thursday's cancellation of the 2020 Chengdu Panda Marathon showed that local governing bodies and organizers remain cautious against the virus despite a growing urge among the running community to get back to normality. With this year's emptied spring schedule, industry experts expect that businesses face a daunting（令人生畏的）second half of the year even if races are allowed to restart.
"Due to the delay of events originally scheduled in the first half, the number of races will skyrocket in the second half if the government gives the green light," said Chen Guoqiang, a sports sociology researcher at Shanghai University of Sport. "Event organizers will have to compete harder against each other to attract enough runners, sponsors and media exposure to make their races profitable."
Bao Mingxiao, director of the China Sports Economic Research Center, suggests that race organizers and promoters should focus on improving race quality by providing more professional services and better online interactions with participants whenever events restart. "The rising public awareness of having a healthy lifestyle will only be strengthened after the coronavirus(冠状病毒) crisis," Bao said during an online forum(论坛) earlier last month. "For the long term, the sport participation and consumption will be very likely to bounce back."
32．What problem does the author talk about in Paragraph 1
A．The marathon industry is suffering.
B．People are living beyond their income.
C．People's health is worsening over time.
D．The popularity of outdoor sport is declining.
33．What does the underlined word "containment" in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Recovery. B．Treatment. C．Control. D．Prediction.
34．What does the cancellation of the 2020 Chengdu Panda Marathon indicate
A．Most industries are facing difficulties.
B．The coronavirus is still very serious.
C．Less and less runners are interested in the races.
D．The government is still careful about the coronavirus.
35．What's Bao Mingxiao's attitude towards the future of the market for running events
A．Neutral. B．Positive. C．Negative. D．Doubtful.

How to Feel Connected
It's easy to feel disconnected from what is going on around you in today's fast-paced world.
36． You can get in touch and feel connected, however, by following the tips below:
Consider why you feel disconnected.
Knowing what is making you feel disconnected can help you choose the best ways to address it. 37． . Ask yourself these questions: Are you keeping yourself occupied with work too much Do you rely on electronic communication instead of face to face communication Do you lack friendships that are satisfying
Interact with people in person.
Technology is a great way to stay in touch, but sometimes you need to spend time with other people in person. 38． . You can also take steps to feel more connected by making small-talk with strangers who are sharing parts of your day.
39．
Your loved ones could feel shy, so you may never know how to improve your relationship unless you ask the right questions. Asking them to open the doors can give you some insight on what you can do. Learning this information can help to strengthen your bond.
Show your commitment to them.
Simply showing up and being there for your loved ones says a lot about how much you value your relationships. Putting in the time shows them that you are committed and want to stay connected. 40．
Show appreciation.
A simple "thank you" goes a very long way. Unfortunately, it is something that people who are close often take for granted. Telling someone you appreciate their time, love, and efforts can strengthen your bond and help you to become more connected.
A. Ask others what they need from you.
B. Sometimes you can feel isolated and distant from the ones you love.
C. Be brave to express your love.
D. Reach out to people to schedule a time to get together.
E. Attending family events, or simply visiting someone once a week can help to strengthen your relationship and keep it strong.

Long long ago in a town, a newly-elected mayor was determined to do something effective to make the town better than before. The mayor was acutely aware that his goal should be achieved not only by laws but also morals as well. He was a firm believer of the thought that nothing good could come to a town whose people only complained and expected others to solve their own problems! One day, a new idea suddenly struck him.
Early one morning, the mayor dressed himself up and went to a village nearby. He secretly placed a large stone in the middle of the main street and hid a gold coin under the stone. The instant every preparation was done, he hid himself behind a huge maple tree and watched closely, wondering what would happen before long.
The first person down the street was a milkman with his cart. He took no notice of it and the cart violently crashed into the stone, spilling the milk everywhere. "What fool put this stone here " he shouted loudly. He picked himself up and angrily went away.
After a while, a group of women came along, each balancing a pot of water on her head and paying no attention to the road. One woman tripped over the stone and her water pot went crashing to the ground. She picked herself up and limped away in tears. Neither she nor her friends thought about moving the stone out of the road.
The mayor watched all day as many people passing to and fro complained about the stone but he found nobody making an attempt to move it and have the road cleared of the obstacle. The mayor was disappointed and even in despair. "Is there no one in this village who feels any responsibility to keep their neighbors from harm "
注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
Just then, the mayor saw a young girl coming along.
At that moment, the mayor stepped out from behind the tree.

In order to build a scholarly campus, I' m writing to call on everyone to spend more time in reading books.
Reading not only provides knowledge for us, but also inspires us to become better individuals. Each of us should form a good habit of reading. First, we should make good use of our spare time to read. Besides, a reading plan is favorable for us to read persistently.
Read more books and read good books. Choose books wisely and absorb the essence from the books. Let's take action now.

67．【答案】Just then, the mayor saw a young girl coming along. She was from a poor family and had worked all day, worn-out. When seeing the stone, she thought, "It's a danger to whoever comes down the street after dark. I should move it out of the way!" Thin as she was, she pushed the stone with all her might and finally made it. Turning round, she saw the gold coins where the stone had been. Rooted to the spot with surprise, she was wondering whose gold it was.
At that moment, the mayor stepped out from behind the tree. "Sir," she said, "Is this gold yours If not, we surely must find the owner!" He replied, "My dear, the gold is mine but now it's yours, because it's you that has learned the lesson I want to teach my people." The story went about soon. The adults passing earlier felt ashamed and guilty about their irresponsibility. From then on, the people in this town became more responsible and caring for each other. Of course, one good turn deserves another. Years later, the whole town took on a completely new outlook.

What is identity theft
Identity theft occurs when someone steals your personal information to take over your credit accounts, open new ones, access bank accounts, or commit many other crimes in your name and at your expense. When it strikes, the effects can be disastrous. What's more, because it frequently involves no physical theft, identity theft may not be noticed by its victims until significant damage has already been done—often several months and thousands of pounds later. It's estimated that
more than 100,000 people are affected by identity theft in the UK each year, costing the British economy over 1.3 billion annually.
How does it happen
These are some of the ways crooks get hold of your personal information:
Fake emails
You may receive an email seemingly from, say, your bank requesting that you follow a link and key information into a website that looks very similar to your bank's own site but is in fact a fake.
Pretext phone calls
A crook pretending to be an official from, for example, your bank may phone up asking you to give personal or account details as a security check.
Dishonest people
Sometimes sales assistants, unbeknown (不知情的) to you, swipe your card through a machine which records its details. At the workplace, a fellow employee can use your personal details fraudulently.
How can you protect yourself
Be careful who you give your personal details to, and tear up documents like credit-card slips
before you throw them away. Don't make this serious crime easy for crooks!
21．What do we know about identity theft according to the passage
A．It is a frequent physical theft.
B．It is only committed by strangers.
C．It is easy to be noticed by victims.
D．It is costly to individuals and society.
22．Identity theft may happen when ____.
A．you receive an email from your bank
B．you give personal details to a fake website
C．you are requested to pay in cash by sales assistants
D．you tear bank documents before throwing them away
23．What is the text
A．A financial survey. B．A book review.
C．A security report. D．A history paper.

Forty years ago, a simple act of kindness would forever shape the course of a young refugee's life when she set foot in Canada for the first time. Dr. Nhung Tran—Davies was only five years old when she and her family arrived at the Edmonton airport in 1979.They had run away from their home because of the war and were living in a Malaysian refugee camp before a Canadian church sponsored them to immigrate to Canada, When they passed through the gates of the airport, a young girl named Adrienne was waiting for Tran—Davies with a special gift. "This little girl presented me a little doll. It lit up my heart, and in that moment, it meant everything to me," Tran—Davies told CTV's Your Morning on Thursday. "The doll came to represent all the kindness, compassion(同情), and generosity of Canadians, and I believed that our lives would become better."
And while it may have seemed like a small gesture, that girl had an effect for Tran—Davies who was inspired to become a doctor and help of hers. "Knowing now that all that I have, and all that I've become, is because of this simple act of kindness, I live to this day to play forward the kindness," she said.
Tran—Davies has done this by recently sponsoring a refugee family who also ran away from the war. When the family she sponsored arrived at the Edmonton airport, Tran—Davies stood at the gates with a doll of her own for the youngest daughter Alma.
"It was my turn now, 40 years later. It was just an amazing, important moment for myself, but I think it meant something to her, because I know that in 40 years it will be her turn to make Canada a more beautiful place," she said.
As for the original doll Tran—Davies received, it's being displayed across the country in a travelling exhibit called Refuge Canada. The doll also inspired Tran—Davies to write a children's book titled The Doll, which describes her experiences and how a single act of kindness can be
passed on for years to come.
24．Why did Tran—Davies go to Canada forty years ago
A．To escape from the war. B．To live a different life.
C．To pass on her kindness. D．To continue further study.
25．What is not one of the impacts that the doll had on Tran—Davies
A．It gave her the hope for a better life.
B．It inspired her to be kind and help others.
C．It made her set a career goal of being a doctor.
D．It changed her original impression of Canadians.
26．What did Tran—Davies do to pay back the little girl's kindness
A．She donated money to the poor.
B．She improved refugees' living conditions.
C．She helped a refugee family come to Canada.
D．She provided free medical services to refugees.
27．Why did Tran—Davies say "It was my turn now,40 years later"in the sixth paragraph
A．She contributed much to Canada.
B．She gave Alma a doll on her arrival.
C．She passed the original doll to Alma.
D．She showed the refuge family around Edmonton.

Many of us spend part of each day surrounded by strangers, whether on our daily commute(上下班往返), or sitting in park or cafe. But most of them remain just that-strangers.
However, new evidence has shown that plucking up(鼓起) the courage to strike up conversation might be good for our health. Nicholas Epley from the University of Chicago and Juliana Schroeder from the University of California are behavioral(行为的) scientists. They wanted to know whether solitude is a more positive experience than interacting with strangers, or if people misunderstand the consequences of distant social connections. They found that many people feel uncomfortable and frightened talking to others and their research suggested that when we make an initial conversation "we consistently underestimate(低估) how much a new person likes us." It seems we think that all the things could go wrong and why someone wouldn't want to talk with us.
Their research involved an experiment with a group of Chicago commuters and found that"every participant in our experiment who actually tried to talk to a stranger found the person sitting next to them was happy to chat."From this and other research,the conclusion is that connecting with strangers is surprisingly pleasant and it has a positive impact on our well-being.It's true that talking can make you feel happier and happiness can lead to better mental health.
However, if you're an introvert(性格内向者），the thought of speaking to someone new might make you anxious. But the American research found "both extroverts(性格外向者) and introverts are happier when they are asked to behave in an extroverted manner." So maybe, if you're a loner, it's time to come out of your shell and make some small talk with a stranger-it could be the beginning of a new friendship.
28．What does the underlined word "solitude" in paragraph 2 mean
A．Being calm. B．Being pleasant.
C．Being alone. D．Being healthy.
29．Why might we not want to speak to a stranger
A．Because we don't trust a new person.
B．Because we can't find a common topic.
C．Because we like distant social connections.
D．Because we feel the stranger may dislike us.
30．What could help start a new friendship
A．Making a small talk. B．Sitting next to a stranger.
C．Sharing personal details. D．Behaving in polite manner.
31．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．How to be an extrovert. B．Talking to strangers.
C．How to speak to strangers. D．Making new friends.

With races delayed and outdoor exercise limited, COVID-19 has put the brakes on China's previously booming marathon industry as event organizers struggle to make ends meet during the crisis. The sparse turnout（到场人数）of runners at Beijing's Olympic Forest Park these days bears witness to the decline.
Despite the successful containment of the outbreak in China, fears over the potential risks of mass gatherings clearly remain within the running community, while the virus-enforced business shutdown has created a severe challenge to organizers and promoters involved in the sport. Event organizers are struggling to survive through the crisis with the majority of their source of income dried up.
Last Thursday's cancellation of the 2020 Chengdu Panda Marathon showed that local governing bodies and organizers remain cautious against the virus despite a growing urge among the running community to get back to normality. With this year's emptied spring schedule, industry experts expect that businesses face a daunting（令人生畏的）second half of the year even if races are allowed to restart.
"Due to the delay of events originally scheduled in the first half, the number of races will skyrocket in the second half if the government gives the green light," said Chen Guoqiang, a sports sociology researcher at Shanghai University of Sport. "Event organizers will have to compete harder against each other to attract enough runners, sponsors and media exposure to make their races profitable."
Bao Mingxiao, director of the China Sports Economic Research Center, suggests that race organizers and promoters should focus on improving race quality by providing more professional services and better online interactions with participants whenever events restart. "The rising public awareness of having a healthy lifestyle will only be strengthened after the coronavirus(冠状病毒) crisis," Bao said during an online forum(论坛) earlier last month. "For the long term, the sport participation and consumption will be very likely to bounce back."
32．What problem does the author talk about in Paragraph 1
A．The marathon industry is suffering.
B．People are living beyond their income.
C．People's health is worsening over time.
D．The popularity of outdoor sport is declining.
33．What does the underlined word "containment" in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Recovery. B．Treatment. C．Control. D．Prediction.
34．What does the cancellation of the 2020 Chengdu Panda Marathon indicate
A．Most industries are facing difficulties.
B．The coronavirus is still very serious.
C．Less and less runners are interested in the races.
D．The government is still careful about the coronavirus.
35．What's Bao Mingxiao's attitude towards the future of the market for running events
A．Neutral. B．Positive. C．Negative. D．Doubtful.

Long long ago in a town, a newly-elected mayor was determined to do something effective to make the town better than before. The mayor was acutely aware that his goal should be achieved not only by laws but also morals as well. He was a firm believer of the thought that nothing good could come to a town whose people only complained and expected others to solve their own problems! One day, a new idea suddenly struck him.
Early one morning, the mayor dressed himself up and went to a village nearby. He secretly placed a large stone in the middle of the main street and hid a gold coin under the stone. The instant every preparation was done, he hid himself behind a huge maple tree and watched closely, wondering what would happen before long.
The first person down the street was a milkman with his cart. He took no notice of it and the cart violently crashed into the stone, spilling the milk everywhere. "What fool put this stone here " he shouted loudly. He picked himself up and angrily went away.
After a while, a group of women came along, each balancing a pot of water on her head and paying no attention to the road. One woman tripped over the stone and her water pot went crashing to the ground. She picked herself up and limped away in tears. Neither she nor her friends thought about moving the stone out of the road.
The mayor watched all day as many people passing to and fro complained about the stone but he found nobody making an attempt to move it and have the road cleared of the obstacle. The mayor was disappointed and even in despair. "Is there no one in this village who feels any responsibility to keep their neighbors from harm "
注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
Just then, the mayor saw a young girl coming along.
At that moment, the mayor stepped out from behind the tree.
【答案】Just then, the mayor saw a young girl coming along. She was from a poor family and had worked all day, worn-out. When seeing the stone, she thought, "It's a danger to whoever comes down the street after dark. I should move it out of the way!" Thin as she was, she pushed the stone with all her might and finally made it. Turning round, she saw the gold coins where the stone had been. Rooted to the spot with surprise, she was wondering whose gold it was.
At that moment, the mayor stepped out from behind the tree. "Sir," she said, "Is this gold yours If not, we surely must find the owner!" He replied, "My dear, the gold is mine but now it's yours, because it's you that has learned the lesson I want to teach my people." The story went about soon. The adults passing earlier felt ashamed and guilty about their irresponsibility. From then on, the people in this town became more responsible and caring for each other. Of course, one good turn deserves another. Years later, the whole town took on a completely new outlook.
