The organic foods have gained a lot of popularity as they are being considered as healthier and tastier. A fair number of people advocate a large scale shift to organic farming from conventional agriculture. But this might not seem well founded.
Since the mid 19th century, conventional industrial agriculture has become incredibly efficient on a simple land to food basis. Conventional farming gets more and more crop per square foot of land, which can mean less wilderness needs to be transformed to farmland.
To make farming more efficient, conventional agriculture uses a significant amount of synthetic fertiliser (合成肥料) each year, and all that nitrogen (氮) enables much faster plant growth. However, the cost is paid in vast polluted dead zones at the mouths of many of the world's rivers, because much of the nitrogen ends up running off the soil and into the oceans. This also makes conventional farming one of the major threats to the environment.
To weaken the environmental impact of agriculture, improve soil quality as well as produce healthier foods, some farmers have turned to organic farming. Environmentalists have also welcomed organic food as better for the planet than the food produced by agricultural corporations. Organic practices—refusing artificial fertilizers and chemical pesticides—are considered far more sustainable. Sales of organic food rose 7.7% in 2010, up to $26.7 billion—and people are making those purchases for their moral senses as much as their tongues.
Yet a new meta analysis in Nature does the math and comes to a hard conclusion: organic farming produces 25% fewer crops on average than conventional agriculture.
In the Nature analysis, scientists performed an analysis of 66 studies comparing conventional and organic methods across 34 different crop species, from fruits to grains. They found that organic farming delivered a lower output for every crop type, though the difference varied widely. For crops like fruit trees, organic trailed (落后于) conventional agriculture by just 5%. Yet for major grain crops and vegetables—all of which provide the world's main calories—conventional agriculture outperformed organics by more than 25%.
What that means is that while organic farming may be more sustainable than conventional agriculture, there are trade offs (此消彼长) with each. So an ideal global agriculture system may borrow the best from both systems rather than upholding merely organic or conventional practices.
1．What do we know about conventional farming
A．It produces more crops with fewer fertilisers.
B．It achieves efficiency at a huge cost to the environment.
C．It offers a long term solution to global demand for food.
D．It performs far better for each crop type than organic farming.
2．What does the author most probably agree with
A．Employing organic farming to plant rice.
B．Adopting organic practices to grow potato.
C．Using conventional methods to plant cabbage.
D．Applying conventional farming to grow apple.
3．What's the author's purpose of writing the passage
A．To compare two types of farming.
B．To criticize conventional agriculture.
C．To discuss the development of farming.
D．To argue for a realistic agriculture system.

Pierre Déom has spent his entire life close to the woods and fields that he loves.Twice a year, his magazine, La Hulotte, focuses on an animal or plant native to the French countryside.
The 100th edition was published in 2013.The magazine has more than 150，000 subscribers in many countries, and is doing very well financially.Déom says it all began in January 1972, when he was teaching science in a one room schoolhouse here. “It upset me how the forests and swamps were beginning to be ruined.The word ‘ecology’ didn't really exist yet.Some friends and I wanted to call attention to the issue.So we said, let's educate the kids.They're ready to hear our message.” So he took a step into the unknown, planning to publish his nature journal.
Déom does all the research and writing and the illustrations (插图) of the magazine by hand.He combines science and humour in his writing and drawings to describe the daily life and sufferings of his creatures.Animals you might overlook or consider dull are magically and vividly brought to life in La Hulotte.“I try to write about animals and plants that are easy to find because I want kids to put on boots, take a magnifying glass, go to the woods and fields to observe and be amazed by what they find，” Déom says.
And it seems to work.Biologist Jerome Fournier began subscribing to La Hulotte when he was just eight years old.“For me it was the first contact with nature when I was a child.And maybe it's the beginning for my life of scientist.I think so.”
What's amazing is its approach.The magazine has realistic drawings and also a little cast of cartoon creatures who comment on things and give different views.You can read it as an adult or a child; it can be understood on two different levels.So scientists, regular people and children all get something out of it.“It's extraordinary，” Fournier says, who works at the National Museum of Natural History in Paris, where he says La Hulotte has a crazy following.
4．What does the underlined word “subscribers” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Readers. B．Editors.
C．Sellers. D．Collectors.
5．What's the purpose of creating the magazine
A．To make a lot of money.
B．To finish the task of teaching.
C．To enlarge the areas of forests.
D．To promote people's awareness of ecology.
6．Which words can best describe the magazine La Hulotte
A．Scientific and interesting.
B．Magical and dull.
C．Vivid and unreal.
D．Hard to understand.
7．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．The magazine is a cartoon one.
B．Adults find the magazine too easy.
C．Many scientists are the fans of the magazine.
D．The magazine is not fit for regular people to read.

Communicating effectively means more than knowing what to say and when to say munication involves the subtle signals your body language sends to those who are watching. Here are some common body actions and the impressions they create：
·Fiddling (好动)—Playing with your watch or a pen looks like you're bored or impatient.
·Clock watching—It looks like you're to move on to something else.
·Tapping—Tapping your feet or fingers suggests you are impatient or nervous.
·Staring—An unblinking (不眨眼的) stare conveys threatening or violent behaviour.
·Legs crossed or body hunched (弓背，耸肩)—Closing up your body profile—becoming smaller—looks like you lack confidence.
·Arms crossed—If you keep your arms folded during communication, you appear to be defending yourself against the others.
·Touching your face—When you have your hand in front of your mouth, you appear very shy.
·Rubbing your nose, looking away—People who are lying often rub their nose or look away when speaking.
·No eye contact—If you won't look the other speaker in the eye, you seem to have low interest or a lack of confidence. (Don't forget staring above.)
How you communicate with your body language is just as important as what you say. Watch your body language and control the unconscious messages you might be sending.
1．Which of the following is not included in effective communication
A．Knowing what to say.
B．Sending unconscious messages to other people.
C．Saying the right thing at the right time.
D．Getting information from the other speaker's body language.
2．Which of the following people looks shy according to the passage
3．If you want to show confidence when
communicating, you should ________．
A．cross your legs or hunch your body
B．avoid direct eye contact
C．look the other speaker in the eye
D．keep touching your face
4．Which of the following would be the best title for this passage

People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions—and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why.
Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly (均匀的) across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes.
“We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions，” Jack said. “Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners favour the eyes and ignore the mouth.”
According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in cross cultural situations.
The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral. They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies.
It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than Westerners did. “The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions，” Jack said. “Our data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less.”
In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.
5．The discovery shows that Westerners ________．
A．pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth
B．consider facial expressions universally reliable
C．observe the eyes and the mouth in different ways
D．have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions
6．What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 6 refer to
A．The participants in the study.
B．The researchers of the study.
C．The errors made during the study.
D．The data collected from the study.
7．What can be the best title for the passage
A．The Eye as the Window to the Soul
B．Cultural Differences in Reading Emotions
C．Effective Methods to Develop Social Skills
D．How to Increase Cross cultural Understanding

As computers become more popular in China, Chinese people are increasingly depending on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.
Do you write by hand more or type more In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more widely spread among university students. Almost all their assignment and essays are typed on a computer.
All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.
It's faster and easier to correct the mistakes if using a computer. And that's why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking__stock__in computers increasingly, problems appear.
“When I'm writing with a pen, I find I often can't remember how to write a character, though I feel I'm familiar with it.”
“I'm not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”
Many students don't feel this is something to worry about. Now that it's more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite
Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei, headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said, “Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writer's emotion. Through one's handwriting, people can get to know one's thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”
To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory (必修的) and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.
8．The underlined expression “taking stock in” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”．
A．getting bored with
B．getting dependent on
C．becoming crazy about
D．getting curious about
9．The students interviewed prefer to write using a computer mainly because ________．
A．they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and conveniently
B．they are usually asked to e mail their homework and essays
C．they find it not easy to remember how to write a character
D．computers have become a trend and fashion in China
10．Which of the following statements is NOT true of the advantage of handwriting
A．Handwriting contains the writer's emotions.
B．Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.
C．Handwriting can impress people well and build one's self confidence.
D．The writer's thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting.
11．Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage
A．To Type or to Handwrite
B．The Importance of Handwriting and Typing
C．Writing by Computer Will Replace Writing by Hand
D．Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters

When you start a new job, you'll probably be introduced to a lot of new people on your first day. And it's important to make a good impression. The following are some practical tips to help you.
Show up early
This might seem easy, but many people don't do it. __1__ To make sure you can arrive early, give yourself extra time to get ready in the morning and to travel to your destination.
__2__
It can be difficult to find the right balance between having an influence on your new role, and disturbing the balance of the delicate office ecosystem. You don't want to walk in and get into trouble, but you also don't want to fade into the background, either.
Take plenty of notes
It's a great idea to bring a small notebook and pen with you on your first day for taking down notes. Don't be shy about recording information that you know will be useful to you later, like names and passwords. You're likely to face data overload on your first day. __3__
Watch your body language
You've probably read that body language is important for job interviews, but it can also be a valuable tool in creating a lasting impression when you start a new job. On your first day, be careful of conveying powerful body language. __4__ And do your best to avoid negative body language, such as yawning, frowning, or standing with your hands in your pockets.
Step away from social media
While on your first day at the office you must have all sorts of feelings—nerves, anxiety, joy, even boredom—resist the desire to share it on social media. When it comes to updating your friends and followers about the status of your newfound employment, always be cautious and assume your bosses are watching. __5__
A．Almost certainly, they will in fact
B．Be positive and show interest
C．Be enthusiastic, but not overbearing
D．Smile often and look people in the eye
E．Body language is what we should avoid

When we first meet new people, we all feel a little awkward and the key to getting our comfort back is being able to read the other person's body language. Believe it or not, this is possible even from the very first few seconds when you meet that new person.
Eye contact is very important in communication, especially with new people. Good use of eye contact, which does not avoid the other's, does not stare and does not linger on certain parts of the other's body improperly, is a key part of getting to understand new people. Proper eye contact shows respect and it shows that you are interested in interacting with the other person. How much eye contact to make in different cultures If you read the other person's body signals correctly, you will see how much eye contact to make.
Posture says a lot about a person's personality and mood. Slouching (低垂的) shoulders and a curved spine (脊柱) say that they are depressed, down and lacking confidence in themselves.
The tilt (倾斜) of a person's head gives away their mood, too. A head which is balance both horizontally and vertically on the neck shows confidence and self esteem. When they want to speak or make a particular point, the authoritative, confident person will usually lean their head forward just a little bit, but without taking up too much on the personal space of their listener.

Your house may have an effect on your figure.Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off.You can make your environment work for you instead of against you.Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.
Open the curtains and turn up the lights.Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self conscious (难为情的) when they're in poorly lit places—and so more likely to eat lots of food.If your home doesn't have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.
Mind the colors.Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites.In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room.Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry.So when it's time to repaint, go blue.
Don't forget the clock—or the radio.People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories (卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals.Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes.And while you're at it, actually sit down to eat.If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music.It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.
Downsize the dishes.Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat.We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12 inch plate instead of a 10 inch plate.When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake (摄入) jumps by 14 percent.And we'll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.
5．The text is especially helpful for those who care about ________．

C．burn more calories
D．regain their appetites
7．What are people advised to do at mealtimes
A．Eat quickly.
B．Play fast music.
C．Use smaller spoons.
D．Turn down the lights.
8．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Is Your House Making You Fat

“I have cancer，” Mom said and held me in a tight hug.I could feel her chest shaking as she tried not to cry but failed.
For all of my twenty four years, my mom had been supportive.Strength and protection had always flowed from her to me. Now__I__knew__it__would__have__to__flow__the__other__way.
Mom didn't stay down for long.After the shock of breast cancer, she armed herself with a notebook and a pen and a thousand questions for the doctors.She took notes on white blood cell counts and medications (药物) with long names as though she were studying for entrance exams into medical school.“The not knowing is the worst，” she said.
The operation was successful.The chemo (化疗) was the harder part.I went with Mom to every chemo treatment.She rarely complained, though her hair was gone and her toenails and fingernails fell out one by one.She joked that she could save money on nail polish and put it toward the doctor bills, even though she never wore nail polish.“Cancer can take my hair, my nails, my health and my very life.But it can't take my smile，” Mom said.
Mom learned to share her fears with me, and it formed an even deeper bond between us.Yet I am certain there were fears she didn't share because she was still protecting me—worries she only shared with Dad.Even in the darkest hours, she would just joke about the cancer.Mom always said, “When you look your greatest fear in the eye and laugh at it, you take away some of its power.”
Mom was one of the lucky ones.She did beat her cancer, though not without scars.From her, I've learned I may not get to choose what I face, but I do get to choose how I face it.
1．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean
A．There were other ways to treat cancer.
B．Knowledge of cancer would be helpful.
C．Mom had to stay stronger to beat cancer.
D．I should be the one being there for Mom.
2．Which of the following words can best describe the author's mom
A．Humorous and generous.
B．Considerate and ambitious.
C．Optimistic and determined.
D．Caring and knowledgeable.
3．What is the fifth paragraph mainly about
A．The fear Mom shared with me.
B．The ways Mom faced fear.
C．The jokes Mom told me.
D．The bond Mom and I formed.
4．What lesson did the author learn from her mom

C．Positive attitudes get one through hardship.
D．Sharing feelings helps reduce sufferings a lot.

Non verbal communication is a broad term used to describe any method of conveying information without words. Whether intentional, based on societal cues (提示), or completely unconscious, common forms of non verbal communication include body language and facial cues, fashion and personal clothing, hand gestures, as well as graphical signs and design.
It is important to note that non verbal communication is really about a lack of words, rather than a lack of speech sounds. That means writing would be considered verbal communication while sounds like grunts (嘟哝) would not.
Non verbal communication can be broadly divided into relatively universal forms and culturally dependent forms. Many facial expressions, for example, are relatively universal, with most cultures able to identify expressions of fear, joy, or anger. On the other hand, nonverbal cues like bowing, shaking hands, or flashing a peace sign are culturally characteristic, and therefore have little meaning outside of cultures that understand them.
Fashion is a form of non verbal communication, and in many modern cultures is a hugely important way in which people telegraph things about themselves.
Gestures also act as a form of non verbal communication. A wide range of hand gestures can be found in most cultures, and in the west there are some almost universal gestures, such as a wave goodbye, a thumbs up to show everything is okay, or hand outspread to signify offerings.
Body language is one of the most studied forms of non verbal communication, and deals with how the body rests, how it is situated in relation to other bodies, and the special distance between bodies. For example, turning towards a person when seated and speaking to them is a non verbal cue showing interest, while turning away shows a lack of interest. Tipping your head slightly is a form of non verbal communication to show curiosity or express that you are listening closely to what they are saying, while constantly looking away would show a lack of attention.
5．What is the purpose of the author in writing the text
A．To explain what non verbal communication is.
B．To introduce some universal body languages.
C．To compare non verbal cues and verbal ones.
D．To discuss the cultural shock of communication.
6．According to the author, the meaning of ________ differs across cultures.
A．smiling B．grunting
C．bowing D．screaming
7．What is Paragraph 6 mainly about
A．Body language is the most frequently studied by scientists.
B．Body language relies on body movements to convey messages.
C．Body language can be used to express your different meanings.
D．Body language varies very slightly from one country to another.

Do you ever throw away food at home？Have you ever thought about what happens to the food that shops and supermarkets don't sell？Well，you might be shocked to find out that about one third of food produced for humans gets wasted.What's more，around 800 million people in the world don't live a healthy life for lack of food.
Many people in the UK and across the world are trying to do something with this situation.They are trying their best to make use of eatable food that is thrown away.
For example，there is a coffee bar in Leeds (UK) whose meals are all cooked with unsold food from supermarkets.The spare food is turned into delicious food to feed the hungry people of Leeds.Customers just pay what they can afford or help the bar wash something.In just ten months, 10，000 people were fed at this bar.
Besides，the UK's first food waste supermarket opened last year.The supermarket works on a “pay as you feel” basis.Customers pay whatever they want.Some low income families have said that it has changed their lives.
“Fuel for School” is another food waste project.Spare food from supermarkets such as dairy，vegetables，fruit and bread is used to feed hungry schoolchildren whose families may not be able to afford to buy them lunch.
More coffee bars like Leeds are being opened in other parts of the UK such as Bristol and Manchester，and it is now becoming a worldwide event.
I think this is an amazing step as food waste is one of the world's biggest problems.I also believe that the law should be changed，so that supermarkets don't throw away so much good food.
4．What does the author think of the coffee bar's action
A．He thinks it very good.

As How to Teach Kids About Setting Goals
__1__ It can become an easy process for a lifetime if kids are taught goal setting at an early stage. They need to be offered a project to make them work on achieving something personal.

For example, one may want to be the best basketball player in the team. __2__ What exactly does a goal like this mean You need to ask them to be specific. Begin with scoring two baskets in each game(or however many; just something measurable！) so that they can keep pushing the barriers to achieve greater goals.
Write down goals. __3__ Recent studies show that when goals are written down, the individual is likely to achieve them.
__4__ Kids have the habit of choosing goals that just seem impossible to achieve. You need to teach them the meaning of short and long term goals and give your child reality checks.
Set up review points. You can ask them to write their main goal on the poster and mention the steps they would take for achieving their goal. __5__ It is important to help your children have their own checkpoint systems that actually work for them.
A．Learn to set a long term goal.
B．How is a goal like this measured
C．Give up goals that are not realistic.

I remember a basketball game on our home court at Senn High School in Chicago. The kids from my school，began booing (向……喝倒彩) the visiting team. After a minute or two, Senn's coach, Cap Leighton instructed us that booing the other team was impolite and therefore unacceptable, and it needed to stop immediately. Such was Coach Leighton's authority that it did stop，straightaway. For the rest of the game we restricted ourselves to cheering on our own team.
How many people remember sportsmanship I remember it and now think of it chiefly as something missing from contemporary sports. Sportsmanship was once central to tennis. The famous players, such as the great Australian generation of Rod Laver, Ken Rosewall, and John Newcombe, set an example for us. Harry Hopman, the Australian Davis Cup coach between 1939 and 1967, might send a player home for saying dirty words on the court.
However, some players dealt a blow to sportsmanship with their bad behavior on the court in the name of heightened competitiveness. And it's rude of me perhaps to point this out on the weekend of the Super Bowl, but no sport has become more bereft (丧失的) of sportsmanship than football generally and professional football in particular. There is what is sometimes referred to as the 12th man in football. This 12th man is the home crowd who begin a burst of uninterrupted screaming when the visiting team has the ball, so that its quarterback can't hear instructions from the sidelines and his teammates can't hear his signal calling at the line of mixed fight.
Sportsmanship matters because without it sports are an empty proposition (命题). Sportsmanship implies respect—for the game, for your opponent and for yourself. A great part of the justification (理由) for sports is that it's a forcing house for building character. Accepting defeat with grace is one of sportsmanship's character building components. Without sportsmanship, sports are little more than grown men playing children's games.
1．How does the author introduce the topic in the text
A．By listing some evidence.
B．By presenting an argument.
C．By comparing different views.
D．By recalling his past experience.
2．The players and the coach are mentioned in Paragraph 2 to show ________．
A．they fully practiced sportsmanship
B．they advertised Australian Davis Cup
C．tennis players had to obey strict rules
D．tennis was an influential sport in Australia
3．Which sport valued sportsmanship the least according to the author
A．Basketball. B．Tennis.
C．Football. D．Baseball.
4．What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph
A．To encourage us to accept defeat bravely.
B．To appeal to us to live up to sportsmanship.
C．To call on us to seek ways to encourage sportsmanship.
D．To advise us to explore the components of sportsmanship.

Mary Anning was an English fossil collector, dealer and paleontologist (古生物学家). Her fossil hunting helped change the way people thought about the world.
Mary was born into a poor family in England on May 21，1799. She lived in the seaside town of Lyme Regis, in Dorset. The family had nine children. Only Mary and her brother Joseph grew up. Mary's father took his children along the beach. They picked up shells and stones to sell to visitors. Mary did not go to school much. Her family was too poor. And schools did not teach children about fossils. Mary could read and write. She taught herself. She learned about rocks and how bodies are made.
In 1811 when Mary and Joseph were hunting fossil, Joseph saw a bone sticking out of the rock. Mary had a hammer to chip away at the rock. Very carefully she uncovered it. She found the first complete fossil of the ichthyosaur (鱼龙).
Since then, Mary became crazy about fossil hunting. She liked to hunt on the beach after a storm. The wind, rain and waves made the rocks crumble. It was easy to spot fossils. Most days Mary went fossil hunting with her dog, Tray.
Rich friends helped Mary by selling fossils for her. They sent her money. Scientists wrote letters and came to see her. One good friend was William Buckland, a professor at Oxford University. Mary also opened a shop to sell fossils, stones and shells. She chatted with visitors.
Mary Anning died in 1847. How evolution (进化)works was explained by Charles Darwin not long after Mary died. Her fossils had helped scientists understand how things began.
5．Why did Mary's father take his children along the beach
A．To enjoy life.
B．To make a living.
C．To look for fossils.
D．To teach them about fossils.
6．What can we learn about Mary
A．Her father was a paleontologist.
B．Her father educated her at home.
C．She had nine brothers and sisters in all.
D．She might be popular at that time.
7．Who was the first one to catch sight of the rock containing the first complete ichthyosaur fossil

C．Mary. D．Joseph.
8．What does the underlined word “crumble” in the fourth paragraph mean

During the recent COVID 19 breakout, grown ups themselves are surely having a hard time maintaining social distancing, let alone making sure their “little ones” are also safe.
__1__ So, how can parents let children understand what social distancing means and how important it is Here are some tips that might turn out helpful.
Read educational children's books to your little ones. This is a great way to introduce the topic to young ones without making it seem too serious. __2__ You can remind your kids that social distancing is similar to standing back when an ambulance or fire truck goes by.

To make the game more appealing, offer points and rewards for your child's actions.

On the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chinese scientist Tu Youyou, the winner of the 2015 Nobel Prize for the discovery of artemisinin, has been awarded China's Medal of the Republic. The medal is the country's highest honour for outstanding figures that have made great contributions to the construction and the development of the P．R.C.
Tu Youyou, born in 1930, has become the first Chinese woman to win a Nobel Prize, for her work in helping to create an anti malaria medicine. The 84 year old's route to the honour has been anything but traditional. In China, she is being called the “three nos” winner：no medical degree, no doctorate, and she's never worked overseas. In 1967, malaria, a then deadly disease, spread by mosquitoes was decimating Chinese soldiers fighting Americans in the jungles of northern Vietnam. A secret research unit “Mission 523” was formed to find a cure for the illness. Two years later, Tu Youyou was instructed to become the new head of “Mission 523”．
“Mission 523” read ancient books carefully for a long time to find historical methods of fighting malaria. When she started her search for an anti malaria drug, more than 240，000 compounds (化合物) around the world had already been tested, without any success. Finally, the team found a brief reference to one substance, sweet wormwood, which had been used to treat malaria in China around 400 A．D. The team took out one active compound in wormwood, and then tested it. But nothing was effective until Tu Youyou returned to the original ancient text. After another careful reading, she changed the drug recipe one final time, heating the compound without allowing it to reach boiling point.
After the drug showed promising results in mice and monkeys, Tu Youyou volunteered to be the first human recipient of the new drug. “In any case, Tu Youyou is consistently praised for her drive and passion”. One former colleague, Lianda Li, says Ms Tu is “unsociable and quite straightforward”， adding that “if she disagrees with something, she will say it. ”
Another colleague, Fuming Liao, who has worked with Tu Youyou for more than 40 years, describes her as a “tough and stubborn woman”. Stubborn enough to spend decades piecing together ancient texts, she applies them to modern scientific practices. The result has saved millions of lives.
1．According to Paragraph 2, we can learn that ________．
A．Tu is the first woman to win a Nobel Prize
B．Tu has a medical degree
C．Tu's road to success is not traditional
D．Tu discovered a cure for malaria
2．The underlined word “decimating” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by ________．
A．encouraging B．killing
C．annoying D．benefiting
3．Which of the following statements is true
A．Tu first invented the idea of using sweet wormwood as a cure.
B．Tu was inspired by medical textbooks published in northern Vietnam.
C．The compound needs to be heated to the boiling point to be effective.
D．Over 240，000 compounds were proved ineffective before Tu's search.
4．Tu Youyou can be best described as a ________ person.
A．devoted and stubborn
B．straightforward and mean
C．considerate and tough
D．sociable and generous

Goffin's cockatoos, a kind of small parrot native to Australasia, have been shown to have similar shape recognition abilities to a human two year old. Though not known to use tools in the wild, the birds have proved skilful at tool use while kept in the cage. In a recent experiment, cockatoos were presented with a box with a nut inside it. The clear front of the box had a “keyhole” in a geometric shape, and the birds were given five differently shaped “keys” to choose from. Inserting the correct “key” would let out the nut.
In humans, babies can put a round shape in a round hole from around one year of age, but it will be another year before they are able to do the same with less symmetrical (对称的) shapes. This ability to recognize that a shape will need to be turned in a specific direction before it will fit is called an “allocentric frame of reference”. In the experiment, Goffin's cockatoos were able to select the right tool for the job, in most cases, by visual recognition alone. Where trial and error was used, the cockatoos did better than monkeys in similar tests. This indicates that Goffin's cockatoos do indeed possess an allocentric frame of reference when moving objects in space, similar to two year old babies.
The next step, according to the researchers, is to try and work out whether the cockatoos rely entirely on visual clues (线索), or also use a sense of touch in making their shape selections.
5．How did the cockatoos get the nut from the box in the experiment
A．By following instructions.
B．By using a tool.
C．By turning the box around.
D．By removing the lid.
6．Which task can human one year olds most likely complete according to the text
A．Using a key to unlock a door.
B．Telling parrots from other birds.
C．Putting a ball into a round hole.
D．Grouping toys of different shapes.
7．What does the follow up test aim to find out about the cockatoos
A．How far they are able to see.
B．How they track moving objects.
C．Whether they are smarter than monkeys.
D．Whether they use a sense of touch in the test.
8．Which can be a suitable title for the text
A．Cockatoos：Quick Error Checkers
B．Cockatoos：Independent Learners
C．Cockatoos：Clever Signal Readers
D．Cockatoos：Skilful Shape Sorters

Lise Meitner was born in Vienna, Austria on November 7th, 1878. She was the third child of eight children in the family. Her father Philipp, who was a lawyer, hired personal teachers to teach the children, and she learned mathematics very well. Music was important to the family, and all the children learned to play the piano. The Meitner children were taught to listen to their parents, but to think for themselves.
When Lise Meitner finished school at the age of 14, she could not go to college for higher education, as were all girls in Austria. But inspired by the discovery of Henri Becquerel, she was determined to study radioactivity (放射性).
When she turned 21, women were finally allowed into Austrian universities. Meitner was admitted into the University of Vienna; there she was excellent at math and physics and earned her doctor's degree in 1906. She wrote to Marie Curie, but there was no room for her in the Paris lab, so Meitner made her way to Berlin. There she worked with Otto Hahn, but as an Austrian Jewish woman, she was excluded from the main labs and allowed to work only in the basement.
In 1912, the pair moved to a new university and Meitner had better lab equipment. Though Meitner was forced to escape Nazi Germany in 1938, they continued to co work. Meitner continued her work in Sweden and later they found the phenomenon “nuclear fission”. The discovery, which finally led to the atomic bomb, won Hahn the Nobel Prize in 1944. Meitner, ignored by the Nobel committee (委员会), refused to return to Germany after the war and continued her atomic research in Stockholm into her 80s.
9．What can we learn about Lise Meitner's childhood
A．She received a good education.
B．She often went against her parents.
C．She showed a great talent for music.
D．She lived a hard life with her family.
10．Why didn't Lise Meitner go to college after finishing high school
A．She wasn't interested in college.
B．Girls in her country were not allowed.
C．Her family couldn't afford the school fees.
D．She wanted to study radioactivity by herself.
11．What did Lise Meitner probably realize when working in Berlin
A．She was unfairly treated there.
B．She made the wrong college choice.
C．She should have kept her identity a secret.
D．She should find a better partner than Otto Hahn.
12．What was most probably Lise Meitner's attitude toward the Nobel committee
A．Indifferent. B．Unclear.
C．Angry. D．Supportive.

It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War Ⅲ. She'll talk about my lack of a bright future because I don't plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I don't want to do any job related to science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack.
“Why can't you be like my co worker's son ” she bemoans all the time. Her co worker's son received a four year scholarship and is now earning 70，000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don't know what to answer except that I simply can't be like Mr Perfect as I've called the unnamed co worker's son. I can't be like him. I'm the type of person who loves to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of fame or salary.
I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I've seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6：30 am and usually comes home around 5 pm or even 6 pm. However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesn't mean I'll be successful. I'd rather follow my dreams and create my own future.

Group exercise is one of the most effective ways to improve physical fitness and sustain (保持) a healthy lifestyle. Group exercise is challenging, yet fun! Of course everyone knows that exercise is good for the body. However, studies have shown that when exercise is performed in groups, it's not only great for improving physical health but for psychological health. It's an opportunity to be social and improve your strength. Additionally, group exercise creates a community feel and the shared common goal inspire people to work hard.
Another beneficial aspect of group exercise is the informational support people receive from the instructor. Many people fear the gym because they feel lost and don't want to embarrass themselves. If you feel that way, then group training is an even better option for you. It's a great opportunity to learn more about fitness through the clear instruction of a fitness instructor. If you're tired of wandering around the gym wasting time and becoming bored, you can attend an upbeat group fitness class that will keep your workout on track. Don't let fitness frighten you!
If you're serious about wanting to live a healthy lifestyle, it's extremely important to surround yourself with people who'll provide you with the proper emotional support. Surround yourself with people who encourage and understand you! Make fitness even more fun by trying something new or any group fitness class with a friend. Plan to go for a jog together. Then try a fun healthy restaurant or fresh juice bar! Fitness can be both fun and social!
Surrounding yourself with people who'll provide you with respect support can be very beneficial while working towards reaching health and fitness goals. First, decide to do it for yourself and work towards staying positive. Then make sure the people you surround yourself with are supportive.

The City of the Future
To find out what young people think about the future of urban life, a teacher at a university in Texas in the United States asked his students to think how they would run a city of 50，000 people in the year 2025. Here are some of the ideas they had：

Telephones for life. Everyone will be given a telephone number at birth that will never change no matter where they live.
Recreation. All forms of recreation, such as cinemas, bowling, softball, concerts and others, will be provided free of charge by the city.
Cars. All cars will be powered by electricity, solar energy or wind, and it will be possible to change the colour of cars at the flick of a switch.
Telesurgery. Distance surgery will become common as doctors carry out operations from thousands of miles away, with each city having its own telesurgery outpatient clinic.

Every summer, my family and I visit our relatives in India and whenever we travel, my parents always remind me to drink only bottled or boiled water. On one of my trips to India, I saw children drinking water from the roadside. I was troubled to learn that millions of people, most of them children in developing countries, die each year because of water related diseases.
Living in the US, I am lucky to be able to turn on the tap and get potable water (饮用水), while one sixth of the world's population lacks access to clean water.This year, I entered the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge. In late June, I learned that I was selected as one of the top 10 national finalists of this famous middle school science competition. Over the summer, I worked with Dr. Jim Jonza, my Scientist mentor (导师) from 3M, and developed a system that uses solar energy to purify water. My invention is green and cost effective, and I am looking forward to implementing this in places that are affected by harmful water pollution.
In October, my family and I flew to 3M Headquarters in St Paul, Minnesota, where the final event was to be held. For the last challenge, each of us had to present the invention we had been working on over the summer. The first place winner would win $25，000, a trip to Costa Rica, and the title of America's Top Young Scientist. At the awards ceremony, all of us waited anxiously until one of the judges, Danny Forester, started announcing “The winner of the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge is...” You could hear a pin (大头针) drop as he opened the paper with the winner's name, “Deepika Kurup！”
As America's Top Young Scientist, I was given an opportunity to show my invention on national television and deliver several presentations. One of the most important things I have learned is that communication and teamwork are key to success.

Three experimental fields of seawater rice were harvested in China on Wednesday, a further step toward its future practical use. Also known as saline alkali tolerant rice (耐盐碱水稻), the seawater rice is designed to grow in seaside flats or other areas with high salt content and has been developed by experts through crossbreeding (杂交) and other technologies.
One type of seawater rice growing in Qingdao's Chengyang district, Shandong Province, produced 3.9 metric tons (吨) per hectare (公顷), experts announced. Once widely planted in large areas, the output could be much higher.
The Qingdao Saline Alkali Tolerant Rice Research and Development Center, led by renowned Chinese agricultural scientist Yuan Longping, was established several years ago. It set itself a three year target of developing a kind of salt resistant rice capable of producing 4.5 tons a hectare, which would guarantee growers the minimum acceptable level of profit. The average rice output in China is 6.75 tons a hectare.
Planting in the experimental field in Chengyang district and five other plots of saline alkali land started at the end of May.The five other plots were in Dongying, Shandong Province; Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province; Yan'an, Shaanxi Province; Kashgar, the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region; and Daqing, Heilongjiang Province.The sites represent actually every type of saline alkali land in China and researchers aim to grow different kinds of rice able to cope with different climate, salinity and soil structure conditions.
The test crops in Kashgar and Daqing were also harvested on Wednesday.In Kashgar, the output reached more than 7.5 tons per hectare, according to experts' tests, much higher than expected.The harvest in Kashgar was satisfactory.The result means it is possible to plant such salt resistant rice in southern Xinjiang in the future.Xinjiang has about 2 million hectares of saline alkali land that have the potential to be planted with salt resistant rice, and if it is widely planted it will generally improve rice production in the region.
The seawater rice grown in Daqing only produced 3.1 tons per hectare.A live video on Shandong TV showed growers appearing a little disappointed by the result, as they hoped the experts' efforts would increase production greatly.The water and soil conditions of the site were not ideal, and the pH level was extremely high.
5．Which is the main feature of seawater rice according to the text
A．It has a shorter growing period.
B．It is a kind of highly productive crop.
C．It can grow in the soil with high salt content.
D．It is the combination of many technologies.
6．How much rice does a farmer harvest at least to meet the cost
A．3.9 tons a hectare.
B．4.5 tons a hectare.
C．6.75 tons a hectare.
D．7.5 tons a hectare.
7．The researchers chose the experimental fields according to ________．
A．the distance between them
B．the type of the soil and climate
C．the local governments' support
D．the local agricultural conditions
8．What can we infer about the seawater rice from the last paragraph
A．The seawater rice is not fit for all kinds of saline alkali soil.
B．It is impossible for the seawater rice to have a good harvest.
C．Growers from Shandong Province were a little disappointed by the result.
D．The output of the seawater rice grown in Daqing is the lowest.

Nearly every week, we hear news about the latest successes and failures in driverless vehicles.But we hear little about how other industries are developing this same kind of technology.
One industry heavily involved in researching and developing artificial intelligence, or AI, is panies are experimenting with high tech tools that can help farmers save time and money, while reducing environment harming chemicals.
One of the companies is ecoRobotix of Switzerland.It created a robot equipped with AI and cameras to identify all plants on a farm.The robot has four wheels to carry it through the fields in search of puter controlled arms then lower and spray the weeds with small amounts of herbicide (除草剂).Company officials say the robot can fully operate on its own for up to 12 hours a day while being powered by the sun.It uses the same kind of sensor and positioning technology used to guide driverless vehicles.A farmer can also control the equipment through a smartphone.
The co founder of ecoRobotix, Aurelien Demaurex, says the farm robot can kill weeds with 20 times less herbicide than traditional methods.This is because the system uses exactly the right amount of chemical in the exact place required to kill the weeds.Currently, farmers spread weed killers over massive areas to destroy unwanted plants.
Another company developing farm robotics is California based Blue River Technology.The company has a system called “See & Spray”， which it claims is the world's first smart sprayer.The system—which connects to the back of a tractor—is also equipped with AI to identify and chemically kill only the weeds.It can also spray chemicals on wanted plants to help them grow.Ben Chostner, vice president of business development for Blue River Technology, explains in a company video that “See & Spray” technology uses the same deep learning methods used in facial recognition.“The first time the machine saw a pigweed, it didn't know what kind of plant it was.But we taught it—by giving it tens of thousands of examples of pigweed—and now it's an expert in pigweed.”
9．How will AI benefit agriculture
A．It will fund agriculture research.
B．It contributes to low cost farming.
C．It can avoid harmful chemicals.
D．It frees all farmers from field work.
10．What do the products of the two companies have in common
A．They use recognition technology.
B．They are powered by solar energy.
C．They are connected with smart phones.
D．They can help wanted plants grow rapidly.
11．What do Ben Chostner's words suggest about the robot
A．It is environmentally friendly.
B．It is good at self improving.
C．It has the learning ability.
D．It can track various plants.
12．What is mainly talked about in the text
A．The experiment in farming robots.

At 8 years old, Danay Ferguson is the youngest business owner in Fresno, California, where the literacy (识字) rate is shockingly low when compared to the rest of the United States.
“I wanted to share my enthusiasm for reading with other kids, so I asked my daddy if I could open up my business，” Danay says, adding that her father, Dwayne Ferguson, asked her to prove she was serious about taking on such a major project. “He said I had to invite all of his friends on Facebook to the fan page he made for me，” she says. “It took me two days to invite my dad's 4，000 friends to ‘like’ my page, one by one.”
With the help of her family and team of over 40 volunteers (mostly consisting of kids), Danay strengthened her literacy support in 2014 with her very own non profit(非营利的) organization named Reading Heart. Danay has worked hard to raise awareness (认识) of her organization's task by giving talks at schools, meeting with city officials and hosting board meetings.
“Her main line is ‘How about you get a book and read it and then share the book with somebody else, and do it again？’ instead of ‘I give you a book and keep it’，” says Dwayne. “She's starting a movement on ‘I will give everybody books, but you have to read and share them.’ And she's trying to do this worldwide.”
And Danay also hopes to break the Guinness World Record for most books collected in a 24 hour period. Danay has a goal of beating the existing record (set at 274，325) with 500，000 donated books, which she is now making possible with a speaking tour that covers 130 schools encouraging kids to read. So far, Reading Heart has collected 90，000 books and given out over 20，000 books, having gifted used and new books to kids in schools, in hospitals and in poor areas.
“It is the most amazing thing to be a part，” Dwayne tells us. “My wife and I have to remember that we are her parents because we have great respect for her.”
4．Why did Danay invite her father's friends to like her page
A．To advertise her business.
B．To help with her father's project.

The Disneyland parks are full of amusements, but they are also small cities that deal with deliveries, rubbish, and groups of visitors. People need to move from one place to another; they have to refuel and relax. To meet these requirements, the parks are well equipped in reality. For example, Disneyland Park in California has a reliable transport system. In Walt Disney World in Florida, dustbins are spaced 30 feet apart, and all of them are emptied through underground tubes.
None of this happened by accident. Walt Disney first had his idea for a play land in 1937. He first imagined the park's buildings in a small size. He spent years collecting ideas by visiting other places. He studied Beverly Park in Los Angeles, including rebuilt historic villages. He visited Colonial Williamsburg, where employees dressed up and walked around. Then he organized a team of engineers and designers to plan and build a small world he called Disneyland. Walt Disney had blueprints (蓝图) drawn up, and tried to get the permission to break ground (破土动工).
In 1953, he bought some land in Anaheim. Some designers thought it was too far, but Disney went ahead. It was like building a new city. Pipes had to be fixed. Railway track had to be laid around. Disney chose the hub and spoke (轴辐式的) street pattern that many cities have. “I want Disneyland to be a place where you can't get lost, ” he said. Designers and architects also diagrammed (图解) the rides and made models, while artists painted the background.
Finally in July 1955, the visitors came. If they picked up maps, they could see the results of years' planning: the shops and restaurants, the square, and the streets. The magic city had finally jumped off the drawing board and come into real life.
8．What does the author want to show about Disneyland parks in the first paragraph
A．The convenient environment.
B．The amusing tourist attractions.
C．The differences between the parks.
D．The visitors' common requirements.
9．Why did Walt Disney travel to different places including Beverly Park
A．To choose a place for construction.
B．To advertise his Disneyland Park.
C．To experience American culture.
D．To get inspiration for his park.
10．What kind of person is Walt Disney according to the passage
A．Confident but selfish.
B．Stubborn but kind hearted.
C．Considerate and determined.
D．Careful and hard working.
11．What's the best title of the text
A．It is worthwhile to build large parks
B．Disneyland has been built like a brand new city
C．How a theme park was built in a big city of USA
D．Disneyland—a famous park around the world

One of the best ways to pay for college is to find work that helps foot part of the school fee. Here are 4 types of part time jobs that provide students with extra income.
Jobs with employer scholarships
Some companies offer help paying for college through scholarship programs. Taco Bell, for instance, offers its part time employees the chance to win up to a $25，000 award through its Live Mas Scholarship. The award can be used toward vocational schools or a two or four year college. Employees must have worked for the company at least three continuous months.
Work study
For years the work study program has allowed students to earn money through part time work. Students aged between 16 and 24 who file Free Application for Student Aid maybe qualified for the program.While these jobs aren't always on campus, students in work study earn at least $7.25 per hour—the state minimum wage.
Paid internships
A paid internship (实习) can not only help students pay for college but can also open doors for full time work after graduation.According to a 2019 survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, nearly two thirds of paid interns received a job offer，while just about 44% of unpaid interns were offered a job.
On demand economy jobs

I loved my first grade teacher. Her name was Mrs. Gross but there was nothing gross (恶劣的) about her. She had such a sweet smile and kind way about her. I wasn't sure what her age was at the time but she already looked very grand motherly. She was soft spoken and had a very gentle sense of humor. Unlike some teachers she never shouted at or criticized her students. To me it felt like having a second grandmother as my teacher. Every day, I arrived at her classroom and sat happily at my desk with a big smile on my face. Throughout all my years of school I always remembered the times I spent in her classroom the most fondly.
One such memory is still with me to this day. We were doing math problems that were printed on the chalkboard while Mrs. Gross walked through the classroom checking on our work. I finished first and lifted my head up just as Mrs. Gross walked up behind me. She looked at my work and smiled. Then she said：“This is really good work, Joe. You are a very smart boy.” As she walked on she gently touched my shoulder and I got an exciting feeling in my heart. It felt so good to be seen. It felt so good to be appreciated. From that moment on I always tried my best. I always worked hard, I always wanted to be as smart as she thought I already was.
Would I have done as good in school or in life if I hadn't had Mrs. Gross as my first grade teacher I don't think so. She awakened a desire in me to be the best person I could be. With her gentle love and encouragement I started down a wonderful path that I am still on today, Mrs. Gross showed me just how much effect one soul can have on another.
24．What can we know about Mrs. Gross from Paragraph 1
A．Mild. B．Strict. C．Bad tempered. D．Knowledgeable.
25．What did Mrs. Gross do when the author finished his work
A．Corrected the mistake. B．Added other work.
C．Gave him praises. D．Let him wait a while.
26．What influence did the author get from Mrs. Gross
A．Work experience. B．Confidence. C．Physical health. D．Selflessness.
27．What feeling does the author show in the last paragraph
A．Regret. B．Determination. C．Fulfillment. D．Gratitude.
C
Last month, I began my own two week long digital detox. I got the inspiration from the tech writer Paul Miller, who got away from the Internet for a whole year. It was not worth mentioning as against the time Miller spent offline, but it was the longest I had gone through without almost any Internet in 13 years.
Why did I do it For a while I felt the urge to try fully disconnecting to free myself from the endless work. I wanted to take a break from it all for a couple of weeks at least to see what would happen. After all, throughout the last decade, I've been online 24 7, overreacting to my email inbox and social feed (传送) — living in a world where the line between the digital world and the real world gets a bit unclear at times.
I haven't of course forgotten that I'm CEO of a social media company. My work is built around the premise (前提) that being connected makes our lives richer, more rewarding and more efficient. Still, I'd forgotten one key lesson along the way: moderation. As more and more of my life was spent scanning social feed and checking out my inbox, I realized that I needed to step back and get a whole new perspective.
So on my winter vacation to Mexico, I took a break from being active on the Internet for the entire trip. For the whole 14 days, I ate a lot of delicious fish tacos, surfed and fixed up my cottage on the beach. I didn't write or send any emails. I didn't scan any Top 10 lists of feed. The one I did give myself was checking my email inbox occasionally—just to make sure an emergency wasn't unfolding while I was away.
What I learned from my short experiment was actually not too unlike what Miller learned. I didn't end up discovering that technology is evil. In fact, I found myself reflecting on how technology over the last few years has let me experience some of the most rewarding and eventful moments of my life.
28．Why did the author begin digital detox for two weeks
A．Because Miller recommended him to do so.
B．Because he was tired of his empty life.
C．Because he wanted to live a digital life.
D．Because he intended to experience an Internet free life.
29．Which can replace the underlined word in the third paragraph
A．to a large degree B．in an honest way
C．in an appropriate way D．to a very small degree
30．Why did the author still check out his email
A．To deal with emergencies. B．For the sake of his health.
C．To find some delicious food to eat. D．To watch Top 10 lists closely.
31．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．The author holds an objective attitude towards technology.
B．The author finds technology is harmful.
C．The author will advise digital detox completely.
D．The author will no longer use the Internet.
D
A 2017 Gallup poll reported that 43% of employed Americans had spent at least some time working remotely, and the US Census data released in 2018 reported 5.2% of US workers being based entirely at home.
Even as working from home (WFH) becomes relatively commonplace, a new form of remote work is emerging:__working from anywhere (WFA), in which employees can live and work where they choose, typically within a specific country, but in some cases, anywhere in the world with a reliable Internet connection. While many companies are just starting to consider allowing employees to work from anywhere, developed WFA programs can be found at firms such as Akamai Technologies Inc. and SAP SE.
Employees value the option to work remotely. A 2017 study even found that the average worker was willing to accept 8% less pay for the option to work from home. And with a work from anywhere policy, employers add even more value to employees by granting geographic flexibility. There is the significant difference: while a WFH employee can choose to pick the kids up from school or spend the lunch hour walking the dog, a WFA employee can do all of those and also relocate closer to aging parents or to a location with a lower cost of living.
In our experience, however, managers often worry about remote employees working less, multitasking, or mixing personal responsibilities with work. There are also concerns that allowing employees to work from anywhere could decrease communication and collaboration (合作) among co workers and might limit the informal learning that typically happens in the office.
But one 2015 study by a Chinese travel agency found that when call center employees were shifted to working from home, their productivity increased by an average of 13%, apparently due to a reduction in break time and sick days combined with a more comfortable working environment. This finding raises the question: Could employees in a work from anywhere program also benefit from similar productivity increases
32．What does the underlined word “emerging” in the second paragraph mean
A．Coming into existence. B．Getting more popular.
C．Coming to an end. D．Drawing attention.
33. Which is the advantage that WFA has over WFH
A．Picking the kids up from school.
B．Relocating closer to aging parents.
C．Spending the lunch hour walking the dog.
D．Working more effectively.
34．What did the 2015 study by a Chinese travel agency find about WFH
A．It is more relaxing. B．It is more flexible.
C．It is more productive. D．It is more stressful.
35．What is the best title of the passage
A．What's the Difference Between WFA and WFH
B．Which Do You Prefer, WFA or WFH
C．Is It Time to Let Employees Work from Anywhere
D．Who Are Suitable for WFA and WFH

How to Succeed in Science
To succeed in science，you need a lot more than luck. In my view，you have to combine intelligence with a willingness not to follow conventions when they block your forward path. Thus，these have come to be my rules for success.
__36__
That might sound proud，but the fact is that you must always turn to people who are brighter than you. It's like playing any game. Even as a child，I never wanted to play games with anyone who was as bad as I was. If you win，it gives you no pleasure. And in the game of science or life，the highest goal isn't simply to win; it's to win at something really difficult. __37__
Take risks.
To make a huge success，a scientist has to be prepared to get into deep trouble. If you are going to make a huge jump in science，you will very likely be unqualified to succeed by definition. __38__ This can be more than personally upsetting.
Never do anything that bores you.
My experience in science is that someone is always telling you to do things，and then leaves you alone. I'm not good enough to do well in something I dislike. __39__
It's very hard to succeed if you don't want to be with other scientists，because you have to go to key meetings where you spot key facts that would have escaped you. And you have to chat with your competitors，even if you find them objectionable.
So my final rule is: __40__
A．Meet challenges with great courage.
B．If you can't stand being with your real peers，get out of science.
C．Put another way，it's to go somewhere beyond your ability and come out on top.
D．Be sure you always have someone to save you from a deep mess.
E．Avoid foolish people.
F．In fact，I find it hard to do well in something I like.
G．Besides，you even have to be prepared to disbelieve your scientific heroes.

After secondary school, I __43__ for non governmental organization. It was then that I began to __44__ great importance to community development. I participated in __45__ as to peace and environment. __46__ myself to the development of community was a great pleasure for me.
I met many __47__ as some people took volunteer work lightly. They felt it wasted time, or thought working without a salary was __48__.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jose was a devoted teacher for a local high school in California. Unfortunately, with the money he earned, he couldn't support his family and extended family in Mexico and rent an apartment in California at the same time. Therefore, having failed to afford the rental of even a shoebox apartment, he had no choice but to live in his old car occasionally to make ends meet until he could find another place to live.
To make matters worse, he found himself living this unfortunate lifestyle after Covid 19 swept the world when California schools closed their doors following the outbreak. This left Jose with little means for making money. So at age 77, Jose ended up living inside of his car. For about two years he was homeless. Home was his car, and his car sat in a grocery store parking lot. During daytime he drove to different locations, looking for job opportunities while he spent most of his nights at the same parking lot, which gave him a sense of belonging.
At day time, he would lean his seat all the way back, so no one would see him because he knew he wasn't supposed to be there and worried the manager of the grocery store would drive him away. He was a man of self respect and didn't want to turn to charity.
When Maggie, the manager of the grocery store did see Jose, she felt he looked familiar because she used to be in his class many years ago. She could still remember how Jose encouraged her to finish her education when she was struggling with her learning. She noticed Jose spent a considerable amount of time in his car, she suspected her teacher had fallen on hard times. She became determined to help her former teacher in his time of need. So, the former student decided to repay the favor and help her homeless teacher.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

4．答案与解析：interested 考查形容词。句意：从很小的时候起，他就对植物非常感兴趣，以至于他选择在大学学习农业，并于1953年从西南农业大学毕业。设空处在句中作表语应用形容词的形式，此处指人，应用动词的过去分词的形式。
5．答案与解析：to study 考查非谓语动词。句意：从很小的时候起，他就对植物非常感兴趣，以至于他选择在大学学习农业，并于1953年从西南农业大学毕业。choose to do是固定搭配，表示“选择做某事”，应用to study作宾语，故填to study。

8．答案与解析：A 词义猜测题。由第四段“She liked to hunt...fossils.”可知， 暴风雨过后她喜欢在海滩上寻找化石。风、雨、浪使岩石变得碎裂。很容易发现化石。所以通过上下文语境可以判断出第四段加下划线的单词是“破裂”break的意思。

3．答案与解析：C 根据本段的“To make the game more appealing, offer points and rewards for your child's actions.”可知，本段主要讲述了把社交距离变成游戏，这样小孩子才能参与其中。C项Turn social distancing into a game for really little kids(把社交距离变成小孩子的游戏)满足本段主旨。
4．答案与解析：E 根据本段前两句“Encourage younger kids by turning face masks into something fun. You can purchase fun-looking cloth masks that your kids will really enjoy wearing.”可知，本段讲述了让小孩子喜欢戴口罩的方法。E项就是让小孩子喜欢戴口罩的方法。

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。有效的沟通不仅仅意味着知道说什么和什么时候说。交流包括你的肢体语言向他人发送的微妙信号。文章介绍了一些常见的身体动作和它们给人的印象以及控制你的肢体语言的重要性。
1．答案与解析：B 细节理解题。根据第一段第一、二句可知，有效的沟通不仅仅意味着知道说什么和什么时候说。交流包括你的肢体语言向他人发送的微妙信号。所以，向他人发送无意识的信息不是有效的沟通。故选B。
2．答案与解析：C 细节理解题。根据文章中的“Touching your face—When you have your hand in front of your mouth, you appear very shy.”可知，摸脸——当你把手放在嘴边时，你会显得很害羞。再结合选项照片可知，C项图片中的人看起来害羞。故选C。
3．答案与解析：C 细节理解题。根据文章中的“No eye contact—If you won't look the other speaker in the eye, you seem to have low interest or a lack of confidence.”可知，没有眼神交流——如果你不看说话人的眼睛，你会显得兴趣低或缺乏自信。所以，如果你想在交流时表现出自信，你应该看着对方的眼睛。故选C。
4．答案与解析：C 主旨大意题。根据第一段及最后一段可知，文章主要介绍了一些常见的身体动作和它们给人的印象以及控制你的肢体语言的重要性。所以，“控制你的肢体语言以达到有效的沟通”适合做本文最佳标题。故选C。

5．答案与解析：A 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure，whereas Easterners favour the eyes and ignore the mouth.”可知，这一发现表明西方人对眼睛和嘴巴的重视程度是一样的。故选A。
6．答案与解析：A 代词指代题。结合上下文语境可推断出“they”指的是第五段提到的这次研究的参与者。故选A。
7．答案与解析：B 标题归纳题。文章主要介绍了一项最新的科学研究发现：东方人比西方人更难于读懂他人的面部表情。西方人用整张脸来表达情感，而东方人更多地用眼睛而不是嘴巴。数据表明面部表情并不是人类情感的普遍信号。因此，本文的最佳标题为“阅读面部表情的文化差异”。故选B。

A
Some places can create strong memories. The following special places are important to Americans who look to the past, but also are thinking of the future.
New Orleans Streetcars
Many American cities once had streetcars, but not anymore. Yet streetcars have been running in New Orleans for over 150 years. The Saint Avenue streetcar is said to be the oldest continuously operating streetcar in the world. Many residents have been riding the streetcars ever since they started high school. Most of them think it's a piece of history. They have these old cars, and they respect them, and they keep them running.
Historic Houses
Historic homes can interest people seeking to connect with the former occupants. A typical one is a very simple, white house in Virginia. This small house in Winchester, Virginia, opened its doors to the public in August. It was home to the singer Pasty Cline, who died at the age of 30. Babe Ruth is considered one of the greatest baseball players in history. He was born in a house in Baltimore, Maryland. With his house visitors are given plenty of opportunities to touch where Babe Ruth walked around.
Havre de Grace
Years ago, Americans used decoys (假肢) to hunt ducks and other waterbirds. Those days are gone. But collecting artful decoys is now popular. Havre de Grace is a town in the American state of Maryland, one part of which is famous for its wildlife. Captain Jobes is one of the top decoy carvers in Havre de Grace. Hunters use decoys to get ducks and geese to come close enough to shoot. The wooden birds are so highly respected here that Havre de Grace calls itself the decoy capital of the world. It also has a museum with more than 1，000 decoys. Most were handmade.
21．Which is the ideal place to know about Babe Ruth
A．New Orleans. B．Baltimore. C．Havre de Grace. D．Virginia.
22．What is famous in Havre de Grace

A Rhode Island grower is the first in the world to achieve three records in the hobby of growing enormous foods.The three world records consist of the heaviest pumpkin and the longest gourd (葫芦).And now it includes the heaviest squash (南瓜).
Joe Jutras previously broke two records.Joe got his third last weekend when he broke the giant squash record.It weighed 2，118 pounds.This was at Frerichs Farm in Warren last Saturday.
His other titles came in 2006.That is when he broke the record for the longest gourd.It was a 126.5 inch gourd.In 2007, he broke the record for the largest pumpkin.It weighed in at 1，689 pounds.
Both__previous__records__have__since__been__surpassed. But Jutras is the only grower so far to break world records in the three most competitive categories.
“It feels great，” Jutras said Monday.“It's really been a goal of mine to try to achieve this.”
Jutras has been working on the three records for many years, since his pumpkin won.He was close to the goal a few years ago.But he failed.Now 62, Jutras recently retired from his work as a high end cabinet maker.He wants to devote more time to his hobby.
Jutras noted that others had won multiple world records for fruit and vegetables before.But they won in categories such as carrots that are not as competitive.
Jutras said his fruit is headed to New York City.It will be on display this month at the New York Botanical Garden.
Asked what he planned to do next, he said he's been thinking about the bushel gourd.
“I think the record now is about 279 pounds，” Jutras said.“That might be something I might want to get into a bit.”

Skyscrapers are the symbol of urban life and city people are used to seeing tall buildings and apartments. Farms, on the other hand, are associated with rural life. However, there are experts who think skyscrapers should become farms to meet the increasing food needs.
By the middle of this century, some scientists suggest, almost 80% of the earth's population could live in cities. In addition, the population could increase to 9.1 billion people during that time yet the amount of land available for farming will be the same. If current farming practices don't change, we will need an area of new land to produce enough food for the planet.
Vertical farms, where urban farmers could grow crops in environmentally friendly skyscrapers, could be the solution. In spite of concerns over high costs, experts want to make it a reality and use these skyscrapers to grow crops.
Vertical farms would have many advantages, supporters say. Unlike traditional farming, vertical farming could be free of chemicals and diseases. Besides, crops would not suffer from problems like flooding. Finally, vertical farms would reduce the cost and negative effects of transporting food over long distances.
Some argue that although crops growing in a tall glass building would get natural sunlight during the day, it wouldn't be enough. For this reason, vertical farms would need additional light sources, such as artificial light.
Another way of growing fresh food is to build urban farms on rooftops. This more practical approach may be more achievable than the idea of farms in skyscrapers, researchers suggest. Experts agree that innovative farming practices are needed to support the need for more food at affordable costs, both to the farmer and to the consumer, but the best ideas could be yet to come.
28．What primary problem could vertical farming settle
A．Poor state of rural life. B．Shortage of food supply.
C．High costs for transporting crops. D．Environmental pollution.
29．What is the advantage of vertical farming
A．It can benefit transport industry. B．It requires little care.
C．It can produce organic food. D．It needs very low cost.
30．What is a big challenge to make vertical farming a reality
A．Farmable land. B．Light sources. C．Crop diseases. D．Climate conditions.
31．What can be the best title of the text
A．Future Food Needs B．Symbol of Urban Life
C．Farms of the Future D．Farming on Rooftops
D
With greater climate catastrophe (气候突变) on Earth, it is natural for us to make every effort to stop the potential floods, snowstorms, and alarming reports from scientists. For many of us (myself included), part of that means running out to buy reusable straws, organic cleaners, and packaging free products.
However, before you rejoice in “green” purchases, take a second to consider the results of a new study from Arizona University. By comparing the shopping habits, mental health and environmental impact of young people, the researchers reaffirmed a principle：Buying less beats buying “green” stuff without effort. And that is true whether you are looking at the impact that your purchases have on the Earth or on your own happiness.
It should not come as a shock that simply consuming less is better for the planet. After all, every new item a factory yields requires some resources to produce. Take plastic bag bans for instance. If your city is getting rid of single use shopping bags, it can be tempting to pay for a fashionable organic cotton bag hanging in the check out line of your local supermarket. However, experts insist that growing cotton is actually no better for the Earth than producing the conventional plastic bags. Your best bet for carrying your groceries if you care about sustainability Any bag you already own. This is true of many kinds of “green” products.
It is not just the Earth that will be happier if you buy less. You will feel more contented too, according to the new study. “People believe that they might well be self satisfied about becoming environmentally conscious through green buying patterns, but it doesn't seem to be that way”， said the lead researcher Sabrina Helm. “Reduced consumption has effects on increased well being and decreased psychological distress, but we don't see that with green consumption.”
“Owning every new green product on the market might make you feel contented, but if you relieve yourself of that burden of ownership, most people report feeling a lot better，” said Helm.
32．Why does the writer mention green shopping habits
A．To call on a green lifestyle. B．To praise people's green efforts.
C．To introduce a social trend. D．To present a half true “green truth”．
33．What's the main idea of Paragraph 3
A．The plastic bag bans are of no effect.
B．Using any bag you have is the best bet.
C．Reduced consumption is better for the Earth.
D．Growing cotton is actually far worse for the Earth.
34．What does the underlined “that” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A．The sense of achievement. B．The sense of happiness.
C．Psychological pressure. D．Environmental awareness.
35．What might be the best title for the text
A．Less is More B．The Greener, The Happier
C．Happiness Guarantee D．What Are Really Green Products

There is no school equal to a decent (体面的) home and no teacher equal to a virtuous (道德高尚的) parent.
There are two typical examples：Edison's mother and our mother. As you all know, Thomas Edison is one of the most outstanding scientists and inventors in the world. Unbelievably, young Tom was in school for only three months. It is said that he liked to ask strange questions, many of which have nothing to do with learning. His teacher didn't understand why he had so many strange questions. He didn't want to teach Tom any more. He asked Tom's mother to take the boy home. Tom's mother taught him to read and write, and she found him to be a very good pupil. He learned very fast and became very interested in science. It was she who played an important role in Edison's growth. Although we can't compare with Edison, our mother played a more important role in our growth than his mother. Our dad was an English teacher who taught high school students. For many years, he had been cautious and conscientious (认真的) towards work. Mom stayed home and homeschooled their four children. Three of us had no trouble in learning but my sister Catherine still could not read by fifth grade, and worse still, did not even know the alphabet (字母表).
My mother did some research and found that Catherine had some sort of learning disability. She sent Catherine to a public school to get some help. Catherine made many friends at school and amazed everyone with her gift for telling creative stories in class, but she still couldn't master reading skills. After all the testing was done, the school had my parents come in. They were told that based on the test results, they should just take Catherine home, which was very similar to Edison's experience. However, the biggest difference is that Edison was not stupid, and my sister really had learning disabilities.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
In dreaming up the programme Tennis and Literacy for Youth, as a mother, I had hoped to share two of my passions, tennis and reading, with children. Throughout the year, I had advertised for participants at local elementary schools and volunteers at local high schools. With the help of kind people, I applied for money. I was even able to secure a camp site for the programme.
But on the first day of camp, in spite of my careful planning, things did not go the way I had hoped. Hector and Adrian exchanged blows with their racquets (球拍). Hector struggled to his feet moments later, covering a bloody nose with one hand. Georgie and Eduardo threw balls at each other. Then during the reading time, I raced from joyless child to demanding child, unable to convince even one to open a book. They would rather be watching Nickelodeon at home, Mylea told me, than “learning stupid tennis and reading boring books”．
That evening, exhausted as I was, I called my volunteers together for a meeting, and redesigned the entire curriculum. We created a good fellow system, where each volunteer paired with a camper to help him or her during reading time. To emphasize praise and progress, we established weekly prize ceremonies, presenting awards for most improved reading, tennis and behavior.
In the following days, with the chaos and the schedule changes and the meetings, these children, once in bad mood during reading time, untouched books in their laps, began to find joy in reading a story and playing tennis.
One day, Mylea shut the book and asked me, “Can I take this to read it to my mom tonight？” Looking up at her eager face, I couldn't help myself. I jumped to my feet and wrapped her in a hug, lifting her right off the ground. “It's all yours！” I overjoyed.

There was a time when a trip to the supermarket in the United States often ended with a seemingly simple question from the cashier：“Paper or plastic？” Well, which type of bag would you choose
While all types of bags have some influence on the environment, it has long been supposed that paper bags are kinder.They are made from a renewable source, break down easily, burn without giving off thick smoke and can be recycled.However, the producing process behind paper bags uses more energy than that of plastic ones. How can this be true
Studies show that paper bag production requires four times as much energy as plastic bag production.And the amount of water used to make them is twenty times higher.Besides, the influence on forests is very serious. It takes about fourteen million trees to produce ten billion paper bags, which happens to be the number of bags used in the United States yearly. In terms of recycling, the idea that paper bags are more environment friendly than plastic ones can be quickly discarded．Research shows it requires about 98% less energy to recycle plastic than it does paper.
Even though paper bags might be more harmful than plastic ones, plastic still seems to be considered by governments as the more harmful of the two.In Ireland, for example, a tax has been introduced to discourage the use of plastic bags.People have to pay 22 cents for every plastic bag, and as a result, their use has dropped quickly.
There's no doubt that it makes more sense to reuse these bags.However, we don't seem to be doing that at present.That may be because they fall apart quickly.If so, cloth bags are a better choice, but still, their production also has a bad influence on the environment.So what to do？How should we answer the question of “Paper or plastic？” It seems that we first need to ask ourselves one more general question：“What can I do to help the environment？”
5．The questions in Paragraph 1 are used to ________．
A．express the author's doubts
B．tell readers how to save money
C．introduce points for discussion
D．show the kindness of the cashier
6．Compared with plastic bags, paper bags ________
A．need more water to produce
B．require less energy to recycle
C．take more time to break down
D．have less influence on forests
7．The underlined word “discarded” in Paragraph 3 probably means “ ________”．
A．shared B．given up
C．discussed D．put forward
8．Which question does the author probably hope the cashier will ask
A．Paper or cloth
B．Paper or plastic
C．A small bag or big one
D．A new bag or your own one

Today, the world's diversity (多样性) of food crops is quickly decreasing.But scientists around the world are taking action.They are building seed banks.At seed banks, scientists store the seeds of many different crops.
There are now about 1，400 seed banks around the world.However, some banks are in warm countries.If the electricity fails, the seeds will get too hot and die.Other seed banks are in countries troubled by war.Sometimes people damage the seed banks.If this happens, valuable seeds can be lost forever!
The organisation Global Crop Diversity Trust wanted to deal with this problem.So, they decided to build a global seed bank.This seed bank would contain a back up, or extra copy, of all the world's seeds.Smaller seed banks would still collect and keep local seeds.But they would also send copies of their seeds to the global bank.
Scientists from the Global Crop Diversity Trust chose the cold, snowy mountains of Svalbard, Norway to build the global seed bank—the Svalbard Global Seed Vault (斯瓦尔巴全球种子库).Organisations, farmers, or local seed banks store their extra seeds there.And the people who place their seeds in the vault are the only people who can take them out.They pay to ship their seeds to Norway, but it does not cost them any money to store their seeds.The Global Crop Diversity Trust pays for this.
Cary Fowler is a scientist who heads the Global Crop Diversity Trust.He said, “If the Seed Vault simply supplies seed banks with copies of seeds that those banks lost by accident, the Seed Vault will be worth more than it cost.”
1．What is the purpose of building the seed banks
A．To research on seeds.
B．To produce new seeds.
C．To protect crop diversity.
D．To increase the number of seeds.
2．Compared with other seed banks, what is the advantage of the global seed bank

B．It is more welcomed by farmers.
C．It is mainly used by great scientists.
D．It can provide a good environment for seeds.
3．What can we learn about the Svalbard Global Seed Vault
A．It helps to pay the shipping cost.
B．No one can take seeds out of there.
C．There are no fees to store seeds there.
D．It mainly receives seeds from farmers.

During most time of the 1930s, the Great Plains region was destroyed by drought and high winds.Howling across the Great Plains, these winds swept up the soil of the over farmed land and created serious sandstorms of dust.These black sandstorms were so thick that daylight seemed more like dusk.Year after year having passed without rain, the winds continued to blow, and the dust swirled endlessly.During this terrible period, the region came to be called the Dust Bowl.
But the causes of the sandstorms weren't just drought and winds.In a strange way, patriotism (爱国主义) was partly to blame.During World War Ⅰ， the US government encouraged farmers to support the war by planting more wheat.As farmers increased their production, their own profits increased.Following the invention of the farm tractor, farmers plowed__up thousands of acres of grassland and planted wheat.Wheat production rose fast, but nature soon turned success into disaster.
When the drought began, farmers didn't realise that, by plowing up the grassland, they had destroyed the land's natural protection against soil erosion (侵蚀).As the drought continued, one powerful windstorm after another blew across the Great Plains.Crops dried up and were blown away.
Nothing grew for years.Eventually most of the rich topsoil (表土层) was blown away.As years passed, all the moisture (水分) in the ground disappeared, leaving even the deep roots of trees in dust.
The Great Plains became a deserted place, as thousands of people fled to California to escape the dust and look for work.Most found only low paying agricultural jobs.But there were those who refused to leave.For these farmers, a programme encouraged them to make use of new ways that would protect the precious topsoil from eroding.But bringing the soil back to life took time, and the farmers still needed rain.Rain meant more to the farmers than it ever had before.It meant a future.
5．Which of the following is the main cause of turning the Great Plains into the Dust Bowl
A．The land was over farmed.
B．The high winds blew away good soil.
C．There was lasting drought for years.
D．There were many thick black sandstorms.

A．Show up the grassland for farming.
B．Open up the grassland for farming.
C．Give up the grassland for farming.
D．Give out the grassland to the farmers.
7．How is the third paragraph mainly developed
A．By the time order.
B．By giving examples.
C．By exploring causes and effects.
D．By explaining the process.
8．What is mainly discussed in the last two paragraphs
A．Measures to be taken.
B．Future of the destroyed region.
C．Results of the disaster.

Where did you buy your last book？Chances are that you bought it on the Internet.But if you did, you missed the remarkable experience of browsing in a real bookstore.These days bookstores offer lots of great books and plenty more.
Eslite Dunnan Store
TIME Magazine once named Eslite Dunnan Store in Taiwan province, China “Asia's best bookstore”．One visit to the store tells you why.The store, spread across five floors, offers a combination of restaurants, music and over 200，000 books.With its comfortable reading spots, visitors sometimes say it's like a library.Others have called it the “7 Eleven of bookstores” because it's open 24 hours a day.

2012 was one of the hardest years I have ever known because I lost my husband. For several months, I found it hard to write, think, eat or take pleasure in anything; I could not imagine what it would be like to feel happy again; I could not find any hope or purpose.
I cannot remember the reason why one Monday morning I decided to go to a hot yoga studio in east London, where I signed up for a 30 day trial. I do not remember the class or how much I sweated. What I do know is that I started going to hot yoga every day. Sometimes, when my head felt as if it might collapse (崩溃), I went twice a day. I skipped parties, left social events and got up early to attend. There was something about the hot room that held me together, stopping all the dark thoughts inside my mind.
I chose the Bikram method of hot yoga：It has a set of 26 postures and two breathing exercises performed in heat over a period of 90 minutes. This form of yoga was founded by Bikram Choudhury. In 2015, he failed in an attempt to copyright (取得版权) his method. Many practitioners (从业人员) believe that Bikram is not real yoga. Some question the limitations of just 26 postures. Others wonder why the class has to be performed before a wall of mirrors. However, something in those 26 postures freed my mind, dragged me out of my thoughts and back into the present. I was able to focus on how my body behaved differently each day.
24．What happened to the author in 2012

26．How did yoga help the author
A．It helped her make money. B．It helped her feel more focused.
C．It helped her get to know its founder. D．It helped her practice her performance skills.
27．Where is this text most likely from
A．A health magazine. B．A travel brochure.
C．A research paper. D．Science fiction.

India is trying to bring electricity to hundreds of millions of its citizens who live off the grid (输电网). And it's trying to ensure that the power is clean and renewable.
Frontier Markets is helping to achieve both those goals in the western desert state of Rajasthan, selling solar powered products to hundreds of villages.The company has achieved success by turning its customers into salespeople.
The company employs women to sell products like lamps, stoves, and even TVs that run on solar power through a program called Solar Sahelis (Solar Friends).Each woman is in charge of selling products to hundreds of village households.The company hopes to give women a source of employment and income.
The government has made electrification in villages a big priority (当务之急), announcing last year that “100% of the country's villages now have power”．But the government considers a village electrified if just 10% of its houses are on the grid, meaning over 200 million people still don't have electricity.The government has also set goals to increase solar energy capacity, and it has succeeded in going from less than four gigawatts (十亿瓦特) in 2015 to nearly 30 gigawatts—about 8% of India's total energy capability.The government wants to increase that to 100 gigawatts by 2022.
The 3，000 women that Frontier Markets CEO Ajaita Shah employs have helped to provide energy to more than half a million village houses in Rajasthan.“As India starts growing, women are still being left behind，” Shah said.“It's really important for us to continuously support women's skills and their education to be able to catch up.” Frontier Markets' yearly income has gone from around $300，000 in 2015 to nearly $2.7 million this year, and the company has partnered with big global names like Philips and Unilever.
“We are very proud of how we've been able to succeed with Frontier Markets，” Shah said.“It's part of my task to make sure we understand that investing (投资) in women is not just a success story but smart business and the key to ending poverty.”
28．What is the purpose of Frontier Markets
A．To educate salespeople. B．To meet Indians' material needs.
C．To make Indian villages clean and green. D．To bring clean energy to Indian villages.
29．Where can you find out about the government's measures to achieve its goal
A．In Paragraph 2. B．In Paragraph 3. C．In Paragraph 4. D．In Paragraph 5.
30．What can be inferred about Frontier Markets
A．It is a little out of date. B．It is progressing rapidly.
C．It lacks the government's support. D．It encourages villagers' creativity.
31．What kind of feeling is expressed in the last paragraph
A．Regret. B．Curiosity. C．Admiration. D．Excitement.
D
In a new study, researchers analyzed information from more than 18，000 people who provided blood samples. Participants reported whether they exercised, regularly, and if so, what type of exercises they typically did. The researchers then scanned participants, blood, looking for genes (基因) that are tied to an increased risk of obesity (肥胖). Next, the researchers examined whether certain exercises seemed to balance this risk.
Overall, people who reported doing any type of regular exercises tended to have a lower BMI (体重指数) than those who didn't. This was true even among people who were genetically easy to become overweight. But one exercise stood out as the one with the strongest anti obesity effect: jogging. Participants with obesity genes who jogged tended to have a lower BMI than people with similar genetic risk who did not jog.
But for those who loathe jogging, fear not：Five other types of exercises were also tied to a lower BMI among individuals at risk for obesity. These included mountain climbing, ballroom dancing and walking. The benefits of these exercises were the biggest among those with the greatest genetic risk of obesity.
Interestingly, several other types of exercises failed to counteract the genetic risk of obesity. These included cycling, stretching exercises and swimming. The findings don't mean that these latter exercises can't help with weight control. It's just that they didn't seem to counteract the genetic tendency to gain weight.
There could be several reasons for this. The researchers noted that, for the average Joe or Jane, cycling and stretching exercises tend to require less energy than the exercises that were tied to a lower obesity risk. In addition, exercising in water, as happens with swimming, may increase appetite.
32．What does the underlined word “loathe” in the third paragraph mean
A．Dislike. B．Display. C．Disturb. D．Discourage.
33．Which exercise has the least effect on balancing obesity genes
A．Mountain climbing. B．Ballroom dancing. C．Running slowly. D．Riding a bicycle.
34．What does the author indicate in the last paragraph
A．Swimming doesn't help one lose weight.
B．Diving may make a person eat more food.
C．Average people put less energy into exercises.
D．Stretching exercises will become popular.
35．Which of the following is the best title
A．Jogging Less Leads to Genetic Obesity
B．Regular Exercises Tend to Lower BMI
C．Whether Exercises Balance Risks of Obesity Genes
D．Genes Are Very Important for People's Weight Control

I had a neighbor who had a sick son in my community. The little boy almost thought of himself as the most unfortunate in the world because a muscle disease made him weak and clumsy. Though he didn't look any different from other people, he often dropped things and bumped into furniture and easily got out of breath after running a short way. He seldom played with his classmates, so he felt lonely; and in class when the teacher asked him to answer questions, he always lowered his head without a word. His mother was very worried about the boy.
One spring, the boy's mother bought some saplings (树苗) from the market. She wanted to plant them in the front of the house. She told her children to plant a sapling each person. The mother said to her three children, “Whose seedling grows best, I will buy him or her a favorite gift.” The boy also wanted to get his mother's gift. But seeing his brothers and sisters carrying water to water the trees happily, anyhow, an idea hit him：he hoped the tree he planted would die soon. So watering it once or twice, he never attended to it.
A few days later, when the little boy went to see his tree again, he was surprised to find it grew some fresh leaves instead of withering (枯萎), and compared with the trees of his brother and sister, his appeared greener and more vital. He wondered what on earth had happened. As expected, his mother kept her promise, bought the little boy his favorite gift and said to him, “From the tree you plant, you will become an outstanding botanist (植物学家) when you grow up.”
Since then, the little boy slowly became optimistic. One day, the little boy lay on the bed but couldn't sleep. Looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, he suddenly recalled what the biology teacher once said, plants generally grow at night.

To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor; you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasing voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear.
Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit still before his class：He stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings. Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about.
The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn't mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teacher's work and the actor's. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand (预先). What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage.
A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play：they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don't understand something, they say so. The teacher therefore has to meet the needs of his audience, which is his class. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.
I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but were unable to take part in a stage play because they could not keep strictly to what another had written.

Don't get mad next time you catch your teenager texting when he commits himself to studying. He simply may not be able to resist. A study of the University of Iowa (UI) found teenagers are far more sensitive than adults to the immediate effect or reward of their behavior. The findings may help explain why the initial rush of texting may be more attractive for adolescents than the long term payoff of studying.
“For the teenager, the rewards are seductive for them to be addicted to texting，” says Professor Jatin Vaidya, an author of the study. “They draw adolescents. Sometimes, the rewards are a kind of motivation for them. Even when a kind of behavior is no longer in a teenager's best interest to continue, they will, because the effect of the rewards is still there and lasts much longer in adolescents than in adults.”
For parents, that means limiting distractions so that teenagers can make better choices. Take the homework and social media dilemma: At 9 p．m., shut off everything except a computer that has no access to Facebook or Twitter, as the researchers advise. “I'm not saying they shouldn't be allowed access to technology，” says Vaidya. “But some help in resetting their concentration is necessary for them so that they can develop those impulse control skills.”
In their study, Vaidya and co author Shaun Vecera note researchers generally believe teenagers are not mature, make bad decisions, and engage in risky behavior because the frontal lobes (额叶) of their brains are not fully developed. But the UI researchers wondered whether something more fundamental was going on with adolescents to cause behavior independent of higher level reasoning.
“We wanted to try to understand the brain's reward system and how it changes from childhood to adulthood，” says Vaidya, who adds that the reward character in the human brain is easier than decision making. “We've been trying to understand the reward process in adolescence and whether there is more to adolescent behavior than an under developed frontal lobe，” he adds. For their study, the researchers persuaded 40 adolescents, aged 13 to 16, and 40 adults, aged 20 to 35 to participate.
In the future, researchers hope to look into the psychological and neurological (神经学上的) aspects of their results.
28．What does the passage mainly tell us
A．Always, rewards are attractive to teenagers.
B．Always, adolescents can resist rewards.
C．Resistance can be controlled well by adolescents.
D．Getting rewards is the greatest motivation for adolescents to study.
29．What does the underlined word “seductive” in Paragraph 2 mean
A．Necessary. B．Attractive.
C．Useful. D．Important.
30．Which statement agrees with Vaidya's idea
A．The influence of the reward is weak in adolescents.
B．Parents should help children in making decisions.
C．Children should have access to the Internet.
D．Children need help in refocusing their attention.
31．What result does the teenager's brain underdevelopment lead to
A．Doing things after some thought. B．Making good decisions.
C．Joining in dangerous actions. D．Escaping risky behavior.
D
There are around 6，000 living languages in the world and at least half of these are in danger. In every part of the world, languages are disappearing. In fact, one scientist has said that languages are in more danger of extinction than birds or mammals. Professor Steve Sutherland of the University of East Anglia says that in the past 500 years 4.5 percent of languages have died out—compared with 1.3 percent of birds, and 1.9 percent of mammals.
Languages come and go, and thousands have done exactly that without leaving any trace. Only a very few—Basque, Greek and Latin among them—have lasted more than 2，000 years. But it seems that the pace of their disappearance is becoming quicker.
The Ethnologue, a database of all the languages spoken in the world, states that 417 languages are spoken by so few people that they are in the final stages of becoming extinct. If very few people speak a language, it will probably die out.
Languages may be lost through migration (迁移), as people move from small towns to city centers, or when environments are destroyed by the search for oil or wood. Natural disasters can also destroy populations, and along with them, their language. Governments also play a role in the extinction of languages. The need to establish “official languages”， for a country to educate its children and carry out its business, had a disastrous effect on many small languages.
What is lost if a language is lost Some people argue that languages die as the human race develops. Obviously there could be great benefits if everyone in the world spoke the same language—some industries already reflect this, with English essential for pilots and air traffic controllers. But there are more important things than convenience. As languages are lost, whole ways of life and knowledge may be lost along with them.
To put it simply, language expresses something about identity, about our place in the world. Ani Rauhihi, a Maori teacher in New Zealand's North Island, sums it up: “If you grow up speaking our language, you won't know who you are.”
32．What do the figures mentioned in the first paragraph suggest
A．Most languages have died out completely.
B．Languages are in great danger of extinction.
C．Animals are disappearing faster than languages.
D．Languages are disappearing slower than before.
33．What will happen while people moved
A．Populations will reduce. B．Food will grow well.
C．Language will disappear. D．People become strangers.
34．What will come about if a language is lost
A．There will be great trouble.
B．There is no need to worry about it.
C．Its culture and knowledge will also be lost.
D．People will be able to communicate with others conveniently.
35．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．Languages reflect our identity.
B．People will speak the same language one day.
C．Fewer people will remember their own languages.
D．Ani Rauhihi cares less about languages dying out.

In the most basic sense, self regulation (自我调节) involves controlling one's behavior and thoughts in pursuit (追求) of long term goals. Generally, people who are good at self regulation tend to see the good in others and view challenges as opportunities. They exactly know what they want to achieve, act in accordance with their views, and devote their best effort. __36__
__37__ A bad tempered child who hits others won't be popular at school. An adult with poor self regulation skills may lack self confidence. He may have difficulty handling stress, and often, this might be expressed in terms of anger and anxiety.
How do problems with self regulation develop It could start early when a baby isn't treated with enough care. __38__ Later, an adult may struggle with self regulation, either because this ability wasn't developed during childhood, or because of a lack of skill in managing difficult feelings. When left unchecked, over time this could lead to risky behavior such as taking drugs.
__39__ One of the most frequently used methods is to change your thought patterns, which means that you think about a situation in a positive way, rather than one that's likely to increase negative emotions. __40__ Rather than thinking that this reflects something about yourself such as “My friend hates me”， you might instead think, “My friend must be really busy”．
A．Try to cheer yourself up after disappointment.
B．Do the usual series of things at a particular time.
C．A child who doesn't feel safe may have trouble self regulating.

When drama teacher Chelsie King asked students in her school to come up with a way for her husband to go around the block in his wheelchair with their newborn, they were up for the challenge.
Chelsie's husband, Jeremy, underwent brain surgery three years ago, and since then it has been difficult for him to keep his balance. “He wanted to be able to safely hold his baby, but there's just really not a ton of resources out there for disabled parents，” Chelsie said. She works at the Bullis School in Germantown, Maryland, and asked her colleague Matt Zigler, who teaches the “Making for Social Good” class, for assistance.
In this course, students learn and design products to help people. The 10 high school students were excited to come up with something that could attach to the wheelchair Jeremy uses. They spoke with the Kings about their needs, conducted research on infant (供婴儿使用的) car seats and how they are installed, and then drafted 3D models of their designs. “I really feel the students took all my concerns to heart when creating the prototypes (原型)，” Jeremy said. Two projects were selected for the students to make—one that connected an infant car seat to Jeremy's wheelchair and another that attaches an entire stroller (折叠婴儿车) to the wheelchair.
When they were done making the attachments, the students put the instructions online to help even more people. A few weeks later, the Kings went out with the car seat attachment, and found it worked perfectly. The students were excited to learn that their creation was a hit. “I feel fortunate to have been able to take a class that has allowed me to truly make a difference in someone's life，” said Zlotnitsky.
24．What happened to King's husband Jeremy
A．He had a brain operation. B．He could safely hold his baby easily.
C．He got a job at school in Germantown. D．He had to make his wheelchair himself.
25．Why did high school students speak with the Kings
A．To print 3D models of their designs.
B．To help the Kings fix baby car seats.
C．To connect something to Jeremy's wheelchair.
D．To know about the Kings' practical requirements.
26．What can we know about the students from the last paragraph
A．Their design was a great success.
B．They discussed and designed two projects.
C．They were crazy about wheelchair models.
D．They taught more people to make car seats online.
27．What's Zlotnitsky's attitude towards taking “Making for Social Good” class
A．Positive. B．Doubtful. C．Objective. D．Negative.

Along the river banks of the Amazon and the Orinoco, there lives a bird that swims before it can fly, flies like a fat chicken, eats green leaves, has the stomach of a cow and has claws (爪) on its wings when young. They build their homes about 4.6m above the river, an important feature for the safety of the young. It is called the hoatzin.
In appearance, the birds of both sexes look very much alike with brown on the back and cream and red on the underside. The head is small, with a large set of feathers on the top, bright red eyes, and blue skin. Its nearest relatives are the common birds, cuckoos. Its most striking feature, though, is only found in the young.
Baby hoatzins have a claw on the leading edge of each wing and another at the end of each wing tip. Using these four claws, together with the beak (喙), they can climb about in the bushes, looking very much like primitive (远古的) birds must have done. When the young hoatzins have learned to fly, they lose their claws.
During the drier months between December and March hoatzins fly about the forest in groups of 20 to 30 birds, but in April, when the rainy season begins, they collect together in smaller living units of two to seven birds for producing purposes.
28．What is the text mainly about
A．Hoatzins in dry and rainy seasons.
B．The relatives and enemies of hoatzins.
C．Primitive birds and hoatzins of the Amazon.
D．The appearance and living habits of hoatzins.
29．Young hoatzins are different from their parents in that ________．
A．they look like young cuckoos B．they have claws on the wings
C．they eat a lot like a cow D．they live on river banks
30．What can we infer about primitive birds from the text
A．They had claws to help them climb. B．They could fly long distances.
C．They had four wings like hoatzins. D．They had a head with long feathers on the top.
31．Why do hoatzins collect together in smaller groups when the rainy season comes
A．To find more food. B．To protect themselves better.
C．To keep themselves warm. D．To produce their young.

Emotional intelligence is highly important in a teen's development. There is considerable evidence pointing to its positive role in helping students deal with stress, develop relationships, and handle the transitions (过渡) facing them.
Emotional intelligence helps us manage negative emotions and our behaviors in response to them. So, does it impact on how teens and students perform academically Some research does, in fact, suggest a relationship between emotional intelligence and academic achievement. In one study of education students at university, self emotion appraisal (评价) and understanding of emotion were revealed to have positive significant linkages with their academic performance on assessments.
Later studies support this finding, with Sanchez Ruiz and colleagues finding that emotional intelligence predicted academic performance better than established personality and cognitive (认知的) ability for Cyprus university students.
But what about teens specifically Interestingly, there is also cogent evidence to suggest that teens with EI are better able to make the transition from high school to higher education. Results of a study of 1，426 first year students found significantly higher interpersonal, stress management, and adaptability skills among students who were academically successful in entering university. The authors' conclusion was that emotional intelligence has a large impact on students' ability to deal with challenges such as developing new relationships and learning to live more independently, amongst other factors.
It is worth noting that while the studies above do provide evidence for some benefits of emotional intelligence skills for students, they don't necessarily indicate an academic consensus (共识). As with most areas in the field, much room for future research remains. So interpersonal and emotional management skills may play a key part in helping students better handle the challenging aspects of academic life.
32．What can be inferred from Paragraph 2
A．Emotional intelligence is only helpful to negative emotions.
B．Evidence of the function of emotional intelligence isn't enough.
C．Emotional intelligence is connected with academic performance.
D．Our behaviors can't be treated with our emotional intelligence.
33．What does the underlined word “cogent” in Paragraph 4 mean
A．Insufficient. B．Specific. C．Usual. D．Convincing.
34．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．Emotional intelligence equals academic performance
B．Much research is needed for emotional intelligence.
C．Emotional intelligence doesn't adapt to teens yet.
D．Interpersonal management counts in learning languages.
35．What's the suitable title for the text
A．Emotional Intelligence is Important for Teens
B．Emotional Intelligence Means a Lot to Us All
C．We Should Develop Our Emotional Intelligence
D．We Need Further Study on Emotional Intelligence

I had a problem. Talent Night was coming up, but I had no talents.
Kate can make anything using origami (折纸). Tommy creates breath taking beats on overturned plastic buckets. Olivia trains her petty dog to do tricks. And those are just my friends. My grade also boasts four dancers, a gymnast, two bakers, a yoga expert, six singers, and five artists, among others.
Every day my teacher asked if I'd decided what to do. And every day I reminded her that I had no talents.
“Nonsense, Benjamin，” she said. “You'll think of something.”
“I'll just have to be sick the day of the show，” I announced to my friends one afternoon. “If you get a cold, be sure to cough on me.”
“You must have a talent，” said Kate. “Let's make a list. What are you good at？”
“Eating，” I answered.“Watching TV.”
Kate rolled her eyes. “Benjamin, be serious.”
“Tormenting (捉弄) my little brother.”
“Are you kidding me？” Kate looked at our friends. “Come on, guys. What are Benjamin's talents？”
“He's good with dogs，” said Olivia. “My dog adores him.”
“Oh, great，” I said. “I can sit on the stage while he licks my face. Benjamin Belinski, Human Dog Toy.”
“Benjamin's funny and humorous，” said Tommy. He turned to me. “You could do a comedy routine.”
“Yeah. Every joke could be about how I have no talents，” I said.
“Benjamin，” said Kate, “maybe you don't know how to juggle (变戏法), but your birthday parties are the best.”
“Yeah，” agreed Olivia, “and you always get us together to do stuff. Like having game nights or riding bikes after school—or when we held that yard sale. The week you had the flu we didn't do anything fun.”
“You're like the glue that holds us together，” added Tommy.
“Oh, great，” I said. “Benjamin Belinski, Human Glue Gun.”
But their comments got me thinking. Lying in bed that night, I came up with a plan so exciting that it took me two hours to fall asleep.

At the core of ever evolving technology industry, there are a few key individuals who have left a deeper mark and changed the lives of many, giving them motivation and the will to persevere to the end.
·Sunder Pichai—the current CEO of Google

During his time as CEO, Pichai led the launch of Google Chrome, Google Drive and Google Maps, which are features that have revolutionized modern lifestyle.
·Steve Jobs—the late CEO of Apple

Each year, millions of visitors crowd into many national parks. With their unmatched beauty, the national parks offer people a place to go to restore their energy. The parks we enjoy today, however, might not be around without the past efforts of a few people who supported an idea to protect the natural beauty of the country.
One of these people was the naturalist John Muir. In 1867, on his way west to San Francisco, John Muir walked through Yosemite and quickly recognized its incomparable beauty. Muir devoted himself to learning as much about the wilderness as he could. Then, he would pass this learning on to others in the many articles he wrote describing the beauty of the area. In order to protect Yosemite from damage, Muir became the voice behind a government bill that would create Yosemite National Park. Soon other bills would follow, and Muir would continue his fight to make Americans understand the importance of protecting the wild. In 1901, Muir wrote a book about the national parks, which caught the attention of people all over the United States, including President Theodore Roosevelt.
At a young age, Theodore__Roosevelt__had__shown__signs__of__a__passion__that__would__strengthen__throughout__his__lifetime. During a trip to North Dakota in 1883 he saw the damage done to the land and its wildlife.
Roosevelt would take his ideas about conservation with him to the White House as the country's 26th president. He would go on to create the U．S. Forest Service, 150 national forests, and 5 national parks. Roosevelt even cancelled a 1903 presidential speaking tour in order to spend two weeks camping in Yellowstone, where he gave a speech calling for its protection. While visiting Yosemite, Roosevelt camped for three days with John Muir, who showed the president around and persuaded him to make Yosemite Valley a part of the larger Yosemite National Park. After the trip, Roosevelt commented that there was no better person in the world with whom to see and appreciate Yosemite.
The natural beauty that tourists from around the world enjoy today in the country's national parks is largely due to the efforts of Roosevelt and Muir, who devoted themselves to an idea that has benefited all people.
24．How did John Muir devote himself to protecting Yosemite
A．By asking Americans to protect the wild.
B．By learning about the history of Yosemite.
C．By writing articles and putting forward bills.
D．By catching the attention of President Roosevelt.
25．What made President Roosevelt have the ideas about conservation
A．A trip with John Muir. B．A trip to North Dakota.
C．A presidential speaking tour. D．A camp experience in Yellowstone.
26．How does the author support the underlined point in Paragraph 3
A．By explaining how he ran North Dakota.
B．By sharing others' opinions of Roosevelt.
C．By comparing his work with that of John Muir.
D．By describing the things he did throughout his life.
27．What can we infer from the text
A．John Muir and President Roosevelt enjoyed going camping together.
B．John Muir and President Roosevelt worked together to create all the national parks.
C．John Muir and President Roosevelt found a connection in their love of the wilderness.
D．John Muir and President Roosevelt used their fame to bring attention to the environment.

When you think of a national park, you generally picture fresh air and wild animals, right Well, now you're going to have to add tea shops and something called “the Underground” to your definition (定义), because London, England has signed up to be the first “National Park City”．
London was founded by the Romans around 2，000 years ago and people have continually lived there since then. In all that time, however, nobody had the idea to replace all the parks with big box stores or high buildings, which means London already has a much lower urban density (密度) than most of the world's cities. Nowadays about a third of the city is green space.
In July 2019, London announced its willingness to become the world's first National Park City. Now the city is moving toward the goal of achieving 50% green space by the year 2050 by connecting and increasing public parks, greening unused parking lots and the private yards of existing and new houses, and fixing some green roofs (屋顶) on existing buildings.
“Encouraged by the aims and values of our rural (乡村的) national parks, the London National Park City is basically about making life better in the capital through both small everyday things and long term thinking，” Daniel Raven Ellison, who began the movement to make London a National Park City, said. “We've been doing that in London for centuries, which is why London is so green.” It's about going further to make the city greener, healthier and wilder; making the city richer in wildlife.
London will have a much easier job achieving this type of green transformation (转变) than more densely urbanized cities like Paris and New York, which have 10% and 27% green space, respectively. But that doesn't mean it's not possible—the National Park City Foundation hopes to include 25 more cities in addition to London by the year 2025. Glasgow, Scotland and Newcastle upon Tyne in northeast England are both considering becoming National Park Cities.
28．What makes London more likely to become a National Park City than other cities
A．Its smaller population. B．Its locals' requirements.
C．Its government's strict law. D．Its wider area of green space.
29．Where can you find out about London's measures to achieve its goal
A．In Paragraph 1. B．In Paragraph 2. C．In Paragraph 3. D．In Paragraph 4.
30．What does Daniel try to talk about in the fourth paragraph
A．The values of newly founded parks. B．The importance of his movement.
C．The influence of green space on cities. D．The preparation for setting up a movement.
31．What is the text mainly about
A．London is leading the world in park construction.
B．London becomes the world's first National Park City.
C．London is listed as the world's most visited city.
D．London has built the world's first underground park.

Honeybees can't swim, and when their wings are wet, they can't fly, either. But Chris Roh and other researchers at the California Institute of Technology found that when bees drop into bodies of water, they can use their wings to produce little waves and slide toward land—like surfers who create and then ride their own waves.
As with many scientific advances—Isaac Newton's apple or Benjamin Franklin's lightning bolt —Dr. Roh's experiment began with a walk. Passing Caltech's Millikan Pond in 2016, he observed a bee on the water's surface producing waves. He wondered how an insect known for flight could push itself through water.
Dr. Roh and his co worker, Morteza Gharib, used butterfly nets to collect local Pasadena honeybees and observed their surf like movements. The researchers used a wire to restrict each bee's bodily movement, allowing close examination of their wings. They found that the bee bends its wings at a 30 degree angle, pulling up water and producing a forward force. Bees get trapped on the surface because water is roughly three times heavier than air. But that weight helps to push the bee forward when its wings move quickly up and down. It's a tough exercise for the bees, which the researchers guess could handle about 10 minutes of the activity.
The researchers said the surf like movement hasn't been documented in other insects and most semiaquatic insects use their legs for propulsion,__which is known as water walking. It may have evolved in bees, they predicted.
Dr. Roh and Dr. Gharib have imagined many practical applications for bees' surfing. One plan is to use their observations to design robots able to travel across sky and sea. “This could be useful for search and rescues, or for getting samples of the surface of the ocean, if you can't send a boat or helicopter，” Dr. Gharib said.
32．What does the author intend to show by mentioning Newton and Franklin
A．Roh's admiration for them. B．Roh's chance discovery about bees.
C．Their outstanding talent for science. D．Their similar achievements in discovery.
33．What plays the most vital role in a bee's moving forward on water
A．The air weight. B．Its leg extension.
C．The water movement. D．Its continuous wingbeat.
34．What does the underlined word “propulsion” in Paragraph 4 mean
A．Fast flight. B．Driving force. C．Pulling speed. D．Explosive power.
35．What does the text mainly tell us
A．Honeybees can surf to safety. B．Bees help scientists make inventions.
C．Insects can adapt to the environment. D．Nature is a helpful guide for discovery.

How Not to Annoy Wild Animals at National Parks
National parks are a treasure that offer the chance to view native plants and animals in their natural habitat. However, as the number of visitors and wildlife populations increases, humans and animals too often find themselves in close distance. __36__
Remember that the animals living in national parks are wild. Wild animals can be unpredictable and in national parks and many state parks, they are not contained. __37__ Never think that it is safe to approach them.
__38__ Stop by the visitor's center and take the time to read about the types of wildlife in the park and what to expect. The park service posts these signs to protect you and the wildlife. So, if you see the warning signs, take care.
Make sure you give animals space. The general rule is to keep 25 yards away from all wildlife, and a minimum of 100 yards away from wolves and bears. __39__ If you're out hiking and you encounter wildlife, stick your thumb out and hold it out at eye level. If your thumb covers the entire animal, you're a safe distance away from that animal.
Some wild animals look adorable and maybe you think handing them a snack or two won't hurt. __40__ Feeding wildlife is a bad idea and you risk getting a bite. Plus people's food is not healthy for animals and it makes them learn that people aren't the threat. This becomes a vicious cycle (恶性循环) that results in animals getting too close and people getting hurt. Wildlife have all they need to eat in their environment.
A.But don't do it.
B．You can follow the “rule of thumb”．
C．In national parks, there are warning signs everywhere.
D．At certain times of the year, wildlife can be more lovely.
E．So it's important to know how to respect wildlife and stay safe.
F．In another word, they go anywhere within the park as they please.
G．You should always pack up food after a picnic stop or at the campground.

Early one weekend morning, I was sleeping like a log when the telephone rang. It was Grandma. She invited us to her home in the countryside. After a quick breakfast, Dad and I drove to Grandma's.
Once we arrived, we were both thrilled by the breathtaking landscape. The plum trees in the backyard were ripe with fruit, while millions of wildflowers colored the valley. Grandma prepared delicious lunch including her special homemade apple jam, which was my favorite. Talking and laughing, we didn't even notice that it was late in the afternoon. Though somewhat cooler than it had been that morning, Grandma suggested that we take her homemade wooden boat for a tour along the nearby river.
Seated in the boat, looking up at the sky, I felt like the clouds were greeting us cheerfully from above. In the vast fields, the golden trees were like brides in the sun. The breeze skimmed over the surface of the field, carrying the sweet smell of the flowers. “It is so nice to spend some quality time with family.” Dad murmured. “It feels like we're on an adventure.” I added. “It's been so much fun！”
While we were admiring the splendid setting around us, the weather started getting hot and humid again. At first, we ignored this change, but when dad looked up at the sky, he saw dark, low clouds were approaching us. Then a fierce gale (大风) sprang up. Lightning flashed within the black clouds, followed by a roar of thunder. “Row！” Dad shouted, trembling, “A tornado (龙卷风) is coming！”

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Chinese people had never paid more attention to the annual Nobel literature award than they did when Mo Yan became China's first winner of the prize.
The effect has not disappeared. Tourists continue to rush to Mo's home village in Gaomi, Shandong province, which has become a tourist site since the author was awarded Nobel Prize. Visiting the village is to walk into the world he created in Red Sorghum Clan, one of his best known novels, adapted for the award winning film Red Sorghum in 1987.
About 210 hectares of red sorghum(高粱) is ready for harvesting, recalling this scene. Mo wrote in the novel：“In the deep autumn of the eighth month under a high, clear sky, the land is covered by sorghum that forms a wild sea of blood. When the sun comes out, the surface of the sea shimmers(闪光), and heaven and Earth are painted with rich, wonderful colors. ”
Locals have planted the sorghum for the film of the novel's TV adaptation.But while the sorghum fields disappeared after the film was made, this time they may remain. “We have signed long term contracts to sell sorghum to wine producers, ”said Zhang Xinfu, head of Xianjia village, Mo Yan's hometown is in the area. “Dozens of wine producers came to discuss the sorghum business after Mo Yan won the prize, ” said Zhang. Zhang said the wine producers promised to pay a satisfying price for the sorghum.
1．What happened to Mo Yan's home village after he won the Prize
A．The house of Mo's at his home village was rebuilt for tourism.
B．The local people at Mo's home village welcomed the tourists.
C．Many tourists rushed to Mo's home village to show respect and interest.
D．Mo's home village remained what it used to be.

A．settled B．designed
C．re organized D．written

C．the lower price
D．the large amount of the red sorghum
B
Blind people have long desired for brightness, but scientists don't have the technology. To bring that one step closer to reality, Zhiyong Fan, a materials scientist of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, developed a new artificial eye recently. The device, which is about as sensitive to light and has sharper vision and a faster reaction time than a real eyeball, may outperform human eyes.
The human eye owes its wide field of view and clear eyesight to the retina(视网膜)—an area at the back of the eyeball covered in light detecting cells. The design for a new artificial eye is based on the structure of the human eye and uses a friendly light sensitive material. At the back of the eyeball, an artificial retina is lined with Nan scale light sensors(纳米级光感器). Those sensors measure light that passes through the lens(晶状体) at the front of the eye. Wires attached to the back of the retina send signals from those sensors to the processor, similar to the way nerve networks connect the eyeball to the brain.
“In the future, we can use this to replace damaged human eyes，” says the lead designer. In theory, this artificial eye could see more clearly than the human eye, because the artificial retina contains about 460 million light sensors per square centimeter while a real retina has about 10 million light detecting cells per square centimeter. Besides, the artificial eyeball records changes in lighting faster than human eyes can—within about 30 to 40 milliseconds, rather than 40 to 150 milliseconds. Although its 100 degree field of view isn't as broad as the 150 degrees a human eye can take in, the device can see as well as the human eye in poor light.
Hongrui Jiang, an electrical engineer at the University of Wisconsin, though, thinks engineers need a much more practical and efficient way to produce vast series of tiny wires on the back of the artificial eyeball to give it superhuman sight, which is super hard to achieve.
5．Why does Zhiyong Fan develop the artificial eye
A．To replace people's real eyeballs.
B．To gain a sharper vision.
C．To help the blind regain their eyesight.
D．To help normal eyes perform better.
6．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A．The design of the artificial eye.
B．The structure of the human eye.
C．The advantages of the artificial eye.
D．The material used for the artificial eye.
7．What can we learn about the artificial eye and the human eye
A．They have the same structure.
B．The artificial eye may see more clearly.
C．The human eye sees better in weak light.
D．The artificial eye takes in a broader view.
8．Which word best describes Hongrui Jiang's attitude to the artificial eye
A．Doubtful. B．Favorable.
C．Tolerant. D．Ambiguous.
