All of their stories, and dozens more, are collected in a new book by two Canadian authors. It took Heather Down and Catherine Kenwell just a little more than seven weeks to collect the stories behind the 49 uplifting moments they recorded during the pandemic.
The book includes everything from the tale of Robbie Griffiths, the father from Paradise, N. L. who dressed up as Spider-Man so kids could have something positive in their day, to Carter Mann, the Grade 5 student from Sudbury, Ont, who wrote a poem to encourage front-line heroes including his own father, who is a health carer.
“Not Canceled: Canadian Caremongering in the Face of COVID-19” is a reminder that a lot of positive things happened during lockdown. The book's title is a nod to the Canadian attitude and reaction to the pandemic, as the word “caremongering” has Canadian roots. Even the number of stories is no accident: it's a reference to the 49th parallel, along which runs the Canada-U. S. border between Manitoba and B. C.
One of the stories in “Not Canceled” centers on the marriage of a couple in B. C. They may have had to shift their celebrations to a living room, but the ceremony was far from lonely. Friends showed up in their cars outside, with everyone tuned into the same radio station, so the bride and groom could have their first dance in the middle of the street.
Down wanted to document how the nation navigated such dark times with kindness. She told CTV News that “the response has been amazing. I'm so pleased.”
The stories included in the book are just the tip of the iceberg. Down says that there are so many stories left over that she and Kenwell might just have to do a second book.
24. What does the underlined word “uplifting” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Inspiring. B. Embarrassing. C. Mysterious. D. Humorous.
25. What is the tale of Carter Mann
A. He trained hard to become a health carer.
B. He wrote poems with the help of his father.
C. He used words to cheer up essential workers.
D. He dressed up as Spider-Man to please other kids.
26. What can be inferred about the title of the book
A. It shows Canadian positive response.
B. It shows the total number of the stories.
C. It has the new-made word “caremongering”.
D. It contains Canada's geographical information.
27. What happened during the wedding ceremony in B. C.
A. It was canceled halfway. B. It was held completely indoor.
C. It was witnessed by a group of friends. D. It was broadcast live by a radio station.
C
The middle class in Uganda is on the increase. So is the country's tourism industry. The growth of restaurants and high-end hotels is evidence that both foreigners and Ugandans are spending money. But the owners of these businesses have often had to turn to other countries to find executive chefs (行政总厨) . The reason: a lack of well-trained chefs and other assistants at Ugandan restaurants. Slowly but surely, this is changing.
Uganda has a problem not normally found in a low-income country. It has a shortage of local chefs. In recent years, the number of restaurants and tourism-related businesses has risen. As a result, the demand for well-trained cooks and other assistants has grown. But experienced chefs are difficult to find. Jean Byamugisha is in the Uganda Hotel Owners Association. “The biggest challenge is capacity building. People really need a lot of training, especially now that we are competing to reach East African level.”
To meet the need, many restaurants have turned to neighboring countries for help. Enock Alumasi is from Kenya. He saw that Uganda had a lack of top chefs. So he helped set up the Impact Chefs Academy in 2013. The academy is the only school in Uganda that offers a full training program for chefs. It offers a number of program-starting with one-week courses for those who already have a career in the restaurant industry, to a year-long training program.
One recent day, several students were learning the different ways to fry an egg. This may sound like something that comes naturally to a chef. But some workers have never cooked an egg before. Brian Kazibe has worked as a chef. He says that some trainees have learned about five different areas of restaurant operations over three months. “By the time they get to the kitchen,” he says, “they only remain for two or three weeks, which is not really enough for them.”
The Impact Chef's Academy has trained more than 3, 000 people in the past two years. Jean Byaugisha says that the need is still growing. “The impact is not yet felt. One week's training for a chef is too short. We need somebody who can come for two months, six months, nine months and train the chefs and release somebody who can actually come to the restaurant or a hotel and prepare a meal that everybody will fall over themselves to pay for.” However, the academy has gotten a taste of success; it looks forward to expanding.
28. What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs
A. Uganda is a high-income country now.
B. Tourism is Uganda's main source of GDP.
C. Visitors go to Uganda mainly for its foods.
D. Uganda's economy develops at a high speed.
29. What can we learn about the Impact Chef's Academy
A. It mainly trains students to fry eggs.
B. It provides courses different in length.
C. It employs teachers from neighboring countries.
D. It was set up by Enock Alumasi in Kenya in 2013.
30. In the past two years, the Impact Chef's Academy ________.
A. has gained success to some extent
B. has trained enough experienced chefs
C. has set up a series of chain training schools
D. has only opened short-term classes for 3 months
31. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. How to solve the difficulties in Uganda.
B. Handling lack of excellent chefs in Uganda.
C. The setting up of the Impact Chef's Academy.
D. The expanding of the middle class in Uganda.
D
The halo effect is a cognitive bias (认知偏见) that affects our opinions of quality in products, brands, businesses or people. It describes our tendency to judge a wider concept on our experience of a single moment or interaction. That is, your experience of using a product may colour your impression of an entire brand.
This is a very surface-level, quick-fire response that's deep in our mind. If we see a good or bad quality, we really can't help thinking this “thing” must flow through to the rest of the person, business or brand. Marketers understand this and have been using it against you for years.
Advertisers want to back winners, especially those on big stages. The Olympics, the World Cup and the Super Bowl all attract huge amounts of advertising spend. Why Because when sports stars win big, they create huge amounts of feel-good factors and a brand can use the halo effect to project some of those feel-good factors onto themselves.
Studies have shown that when a product has a label that it is either fair trade, sustainably sourced or organic in nature, it will receive higher ratings in customer satisfaction and people will pay more for it. In a blind taste test though, that's not necessarily the case. The product could be considered poor in taste or quality, but the act of adding a certain label to the packaging increases people's liking for it.
The halo effect is a bias we cannot escape. It is in action everywhere in the modern world. Every high-end product you experience leaves a lasting impression and every advertisement that catches your eye is looking to direct your attention towards something you may not have otherwise been interested in. As a consumer, be careful. There are businesses that will go to any extent to influence your behaviour. Next time you find yourself really wanting something, stop and ask yourself why.
32. How does the halo effect influence our opinions
A. It helps us see things in a better way. B. It deepens our understanding of things.
C. It stops us from jumping to conclusions. D. It works on us through former experience.
33. Why do advertisers back winners of big events
A. To use halo effect to attract more audience.
B. To contribute to the development of sports.
C. To connect their brands with positive emotions.
D. To drive sports stars to create feel-good factors.
34. What can be inferred about the halo effect from Paragraph 4
A. It leads to false advertisements. B. It results in incorrect judgments.
C. It ensures the quality of products. D. It improves environmental protection.
35. What is the purpose of the last part of the text
A. To warn of unplanned buying. B. To summarize the halo effect.
C. To expose the influence of advertising. D. To show modern marketing strategies.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
Whether it's for your health, environment—or your wallet—gardening has seen a boom in recent years. 36 . Here are our top reasons to get gardening this year:
Pick your own
37 . From picking your own strawberries or unearthing the first new potatoes of the year, homegrown veg is a joy. It simply tastes better. Whether that's down to the triumph of simply growing your own or eating it when it's at its freshest, once you start home growing you may never stop.
Invite community conversations
Over the garden fence. At the vegetable fields. While weeding your window boxes.
38 . Simply being out and about in your garden invites interaction and conversation with neighbours and people in your local area, which in itself has multiple social and wellbeing benefits.
Build strength
Gardening is exercise because you do small tasks like cutting grass or raking (耙地) that fall under the category of light or moderate exercise. However, you also dig, shovel, and chop wood to get this level up to moderate exercise. 39 . And this can help build up your strength.
Boost mood
Did you know that gardening can boost your mood while increasing your self-respect levels When you make time to go out and work in your garden, your anxiety levels can go down and you could start to feel less depressed. One study looked at this benefit of gardening. There searchers took people who suffered from depression and had them participate in a 12-week long gardening. 40 .
A. The more you garden, the stronger you will get
B. All of these tasks ensure you work your muscles
C. There's nothing like eating your own vegetables
D. And now is a great time to get your hands dirty in soil
E. A big benefit of gardening is forming connections with new people
F. They found that each participant had great improvement in their condition
G. It's amazing to have someone to talk to when you're tending your plants or vegetables

If you are constantly lack of confidence and worried about what other people think about your shortcomings, you will never get to where you need to go in life. This was what I learned from my own experience.
My name is Peter. Before I was born, the doctors examined my mom and found there was something wrong with my face, and actually it was worse. With my “weird” face, I knew I was not an ordinary ten-year-old kid. I had never been to a real school before, not because of the way I looked, but all the surgeries I had. Mom homeschooled me. I became stronger, though. So maybe it was time for me to go to the real school.
One day, I happened to hear Mom and Dad talking about me quietly. “We can't keep protecting him.” Mom whispered to Dad, “We have to help him learn to deal with it. We can't just keep avoiding situations that… ”, but she didn't even finish her sentence because she saw me. “Go back to sleep, Peter,” Mom said softly.
“Everyone will stare at me at school,” I said, suddenly crying.
Mom came over, putting her hand on mine. “Honey, you know if you don't want to do this, you don't have to. But we spoke to the principal (校长) , Mr. Green and told him how funny and smart you are. When I told him about all your surgeries, and how brave you are, ‘Wow, I have to meet this kid.’ ” Mom smiled at me.
“He is really a nice man. Besides, a real school is really good for you. Peter, you will make lots of friends and learn things you have never learned with Mom.” Dad added, raising his hand as if to swear.
“But… I don't want to go. I am afraid... ” I said in a low voice.
“How about at least meeting Mr. Green before you make up your mind ” Mom asked.
I nodded, unwilling to accept the arrangement.

There was no denying that debaters' fluent English and sharp mind left a deep impression on all of us. After voting, the best debater was selected and got awarded for his excellent performance.

Paragraph 1:
We arrived at the school a few weeks before the start of the school. I admitted that I was so nervous that the butterflies in my stomach were more like pigeons flying around my insides before I saw Mr. Green, who was waiting for us at the entrance. After shaking hands with us, he proposed that we take a tour in the school first. Mr. Green patiently introduced the science lab, the art room, the modern classroom and the lunchroom, which were really attractive. After that, we went to his office. Mr. Green stared into my eyes as if seeing my innerself locked away inside. He knelt down in front of me, patted me on the shoulder and said softly, "Peter, I know you are a smart and brave boy. Don't let your inner fear defeat you. Face it bravely! '
Paragraph 2:
After taking a tour of the school and hearing Mr. Green's words, I realized it was time to make a change. I made up my mind to throw off my fear and shortcomings and learn more interesting things in the new school. After seconds of silence, I nodded my head confidently, saying “Mr. Green, I want to, no, I am determined to study in this school. I will try my best to adapt to the life here.” Looking at me with a big and bright smile on face, Mr. Green said “I do believe in you!” Hearing what I said, my mom also couldn't hold back her tears of joy, hugging me delightedly. It finally dawned on me that only when I have confidence in myself can I conquer the fear. Remember to hold your head up.

W: Yeah, I can see it.
M: That is a bank. The coffee shop is opposite the bank.
W: Good. I will have hot chocolate.
M: Samantha, stop! Wait for the lights to turn green. When crossing the road, you must always pay attention to what's around you.

M: Last summer I went to Miami Beach, Florida, where I stayed for two weeks. My friend John and I flew to Miami from New York in three hours. It was the first time for both of us to travel by air. We sat near the window of the plane and enjoyed an unusual and beautiful view of the world. We went there because the cost was lower. We stayed at a hotel on the beach. We slept late every morning and then had breakfast outdoors near the pool. When the weather was not too hot, we went sightseeing in the morning. In the afternoon, we would go swimming in the ocean, lie in the sun, or go water-skiing. After dinner in the evening, we usually went dancing or enjoyed ourselves in the nightclubs. The two weeks went by too quickly. We were both very sorry when we had to leave.

All of their stories, and dozens more, are collected in a new book by two Canadian authors. It took Heather Down and Catherine Kenwell just a little more than seven weeks to collect the stories behind the 49 uplifting moments they recorded during the pandemic.
The book includes everything from the tale of Robbie Griffiths, the father from Paradise, N. L. who dressed up as Spider-Man so kids could have something positive in their day, to Carter Mann, the Grade 5 student from Sudbury, Ont, who wrote a poem to encourage front-line heroes including his own father, who is a health carer.
“Not Canceled: Canadian Caremongering in the Face of COVID-19” is a reminder that a lot of positive things happened during lockdown. The book's title is a nod to the Canadian attitude and reaction to the pandemic, as the word “caremongering” has Canadian roots. Even the number of stories is no accident: it's a reference to the 49th parallel, along which runs the Canada-U. S. border between Manitoba and B. C.
One of the stories in “Not Canceled” centers on the marriage of a couple in B. C. They may have had to shift their celebrations to a living room, but the ceremony was far from lonely. Friends showed up in their cars outside, with everyone tuned into the same radio station, so the bride and groom could have their first dance in the middle of the street.
Down wanted to document how the nation navigated such dark times with kindness. She told CTV News that “the response has been amazing. I'm so pleased.”
The stories included in the book are just the tip of the iceberg. Down says that there are so many stories left over that she and Kenwell might just have to do a second book.
24. What does the underlined word “uplifting” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Inspiring. B. Embarrassing. C. Mysterious. D. Humorous.
25. What is the tale of Carter Mann
A. He trained hard to become a health carer.
B. He wrote poems with the help of his father.
C. He used words to cheer up essential workers.
D. He dressed up as Spider-Man to please other kids.
26. What can be inferred about the title of the book
A. It shows Canadian positive response.
B. It shows the total number of the stories.
C. It has the new-made word “caremongering”.
D. It contains Canada's geographical information.
27. What happened during the wedding ceremony in B. C.
A. It was canceled halfway. B. It was held completely indoor.
C. It was witnessed by a group of friends. D. It was broadcast live by a radio station.

The middle class in Uganda is on the increase. So is the country's tourism industry. The growth of restaurants and high-end hotels is evidence that both foreigners and Ugandans are spending money. But the owners of these businesses have often had to turn to other countries to find executive chefs (行政总厨) . The reason: a lack of well-trained chefs and other assistants at Ugandan restaurants. Slowly but surely, this is changing.
Uganda has a problem not normally found in a low-income country. It has a shortage of local chefs. In recent years, the number of restaurants and tourism-related businesses has risen. As a result, the demand for well-trained cooks and other assistants has grown. But experienced chefs are difficult to find. Jean Byamugisha is in the Uganda Hotel Owners Association. “The biggest challenge is capacity building. People really need a lot of training, especially now that we are competing to reach East African level.”
To meet the need, many restaurants have turned to neighboring countries for help. Enock Alumasi is from Kenya. He saw that Uganda had a lack of top chefs. So he helped set up the Impact Chefs Academy in 2013. The academy is the only school in Uganda that offers a full training program for chefs. It offers a number of program-starting with one-week courses for those who already have a career in the restaurant industry, to a year-long training program.
One recent day, several students were learning the different ways to fry an egg. This may sound like something that comes naturally to a chef. But some workers have never cooked an egg before. Brian Kazibe has worked as a chef. He says that some trainees have learned about five different areas of restaurant operations over three months. “By the time they get to the kitchen,” he says, “they only remain for two or three weeks, which is not really enough for them.”
The Impact Chef's Academy has trained more than 3, 000 people in the past two years. Jean Byaugisha says that the need is still growing. “The impact is not yet felt. One week's training for a chef is too short. We need somebody who can come for two months, six months, nine months and train the chefs and release somebody who can actually come to the restaurant or a hotel and prepare a meal that everybody will fall over themselves to pay for.” However, the academy has gotten a taste of success; it looks forward to expanding.
28. What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs
A. Uganda is a high-income country now.
B. Tourism is Uganda's main source of GDP.
C. Visitors go to Uganda mainly for its foods.
D. Uganda's economy develops at a high speed.
29. What can we learn about the Impact Chef's Academy
A. It mainly trains students to fry eggs.
B. It provides courses different in length.
C. It employs teachers from neighboring countries.
D. It was set up by Enock Alumasi in Kenya in 2013.
30. In the past two years, the Impact Chef's Academy ________.
A. has gained success to some extent
B. has trained enough experienced chefs
C. has set up a series of chain training schools
D. has only opened short-term classes for 3 months
31. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. How to solve the difficulties in Uganda.
B. Handling lack of excellent chefs in Uganda.
C. The setting up of the Impact Chef's Academy.
D. The expanding of the middle class in Uganda.
D
The halo effect is a cognitive bias (认知偏见) that affects our opinions of quality in products, brands, businesses or people. It describes our tendency to judge a wider concept on our experience of a single moment or interaction. That is, your experience of using a product may colour your impression of an entire brand.
This is a very surface-level, quick-fire response that's deep in our mind. If we see a good or bad quality, we really can't help thinking this “thing” must flow through to the rest of the person, business or brand. Marketers understand this and have been using it against you for years.
Advertisers want to back winners, especially those on big stages. The Olympics, the World Cup and the Super Bowl all attract huge amounts of advertising spend. Why Because when sports stars win big, they create huge amounts of feel-good factors and a brand can use the halo effect to project some of those feel-good factors onto themselves.
Studies have shown that when a product has a label that it is either fair trade, sustainably sourced or organic in nature, it will receive higher ratings in customer satisfaction and people will pay more for it. In a blind taste test though, that's not necessarily the case. The product could be considered poor in taste or quality, but the act of adding a certain label to the packaging increases people's liking for it.
The halo effect is a bias we cannot escape. It is in action everywhere in the modern world. Every high-end product you experience leaves a lasting impression and every advertisement that catches your eye is looking to direct your attention towards something you may not have otherwise been interested in. As a consumer, be careful. There are businesses that will go to any extent to influence your behaviour. Next time you find yourself really wanting something, stop and ask yourself why.
32. How does the halo effect influence our opinions
A. It helps us see things in a better way. B. It deepens our understanding of things.
C. It stops us from jumping to conclusions. D. It works on us through former experience.
33. Why do advertisers back winners of big events
A. To use halo effect to attract more audience.
B. To contribute to the development of sports.
C. To connect their brands with positive emotions.
D. To drive sports stars to create feel-good factors.
34. What can be inferred about the halo effect from Paragraph 4
A. It leads to false advertisements. B. It results in incorrect judgments.
C. It ensures the quality of products. D. It improves environmental protection.
35. What is the purpose of the last part of the text
A. To warn of unplanned buying. B. To summarize the halo effect.
C. To expose the influence of advertising. D. To show modern marketing strategies.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
Whether it's for your health, environment—or your wallet—gardening has seen a boom in recent years. 36 . Here are our top reasons to get gardening this year:
Pick your own
37 . From picking your own strawberries or unearthing the first new potatoes of the year, homegrown veg is a joy. It simply tastes better. Whether that's down to the triumph of simply growing your own or eating it when it's at its freshest, once you start home growing you may never stop.
Invite community conversations
Over the garden fence. At the vegetable fields. While weeding your window boxes.
38 . Simply being out and about in your garden invites interaction and conversation with neighbours and people in your local area, which in itself has multiple social and wellbeing benefits.
Build strength
Gardening is exercise because you do small tasks like cutting grass or raking (耙地) that fall under the category of light or moderate exercise. However, you also dig, shovel, and chop wood to get this level up to moderate exercise. 39 . And this can help build up your strength.
Boost mood
Did you know that gardening can boost your mood while increasing your self-respect levels When you make time to go out and work in your garden, your anxiety levels can go down and you could start to feel less depressed. One study looked at this benefit of gardening. There searchers took people who suffered from depression and had them participate in a 12-week long gardening. 40 .
A. The more you garden, the stronger you will get
B. All of these tasks ensure you work your muscles
C. There's nothing like eating your own vegetables
D. And now is a great time to get your hands dirty in soil
E. A big benefit of gardening is forming connections with new people
F. They found that each participant had great improvement in their condition
G. It's amazing to have someone to talk to when you're tending your plants or vegetables

If you are constantly lack of confidence and worried about what other people think about your shortcomings, you will never get to where you need to go in life. This was what I learned from my own experience.
My name is Peter. Before I was born, the doctors examined my mom and found there was something wrong with my face, and actually it was worse. With my “weird” face, I knew I was not an ordinary ten-year-old kid. I had never been to a real school before, not because of the way I looked, but all the surgeries I had. Mom homeschooled me. I became stronger, though. So maybe it was time for me to go to the real school.
One day, I happened to hear Mom and Dad talking about me quietly. “We can't keep protecting him.” Mom whispered to Dad, “We have to help him learn to deal with it. We can't just keep avoiding situations that… ”, but she didn't even finish her sentence because she saw me. “Go back to sleep, Peter,” Mom said softly.
“Everyone will stare at me at school,” I said, suddenly crying.
Mom came over, putting her hand on mine. “Honey, you know if you don't want to do this, you don't have to. But we spoke to the principal (校长) , Mr. Green and told him how funny and smart you are. When I told him about all your surgeries, and how brave you are, ‘Wow, I have to meet this kid.’ ” Mom smiled at me.
“He is really a nice man. Besides, a real school is really good for you. Peter, you will make lots of friends and learn things you have never learned with Mom.” Dad added, raising his hand as if to swear.
“But… I don't want to go. I am afraid... ” I said in a low voice.
“How about at least meeting Mr. Green before you make up your mind ” Mom asked.
I nodded, unwilling to accept the arrangement.

Paragraph 1:
We arrived at the school a few weeks before the start of the school. I admitted that I was so nervous that the butterflies in my stomach were more like pigeons flying around my insides before I saw Mr. Green, who was waiting for us at the entrance. After shaking hands with us, he proposed that we take a tour in the school first. Mr. Green patiently introduced the science lab, the art room, the modern classroom and the lunchroom, which were really attractive. After that, we went to his office. Mr. Green stared into my eyes as if seeing my innerself locked away inside. He knelt down in front of me, patted me on the shoulder and said softly, "Peter, I know you are a smart and brave boy. Don't let your inner fear defeat you. Face it bravely! '
Paragraph 2:
After taking a tour of the school and hearing Mr. Green's words, I realized it was time to make a change. I made up my mind to throw off my fear and shortcomings and learn more interesting things in the new school. After seconds of silence, I nodded my head confidently, saying “Mr. Green, I want to, no, I am determined to study in this school. I will try my best to adapt to the life here.” Looking at me with a big and bright smile on face, Mr. Green said “I do believe in you!” Hearing what I said, my mom also couldn't hold back her tears of joy, hugging me delightedly. It finally dawned on me that only when I have confidence in myself can I conquer the fear. Remember to hold your head up.

W: We have got our own home. It must be wonderful to live by ourselves.
M: I have been looking forward to it since we got married.
W: Here I have a dressing table of my own.
M: Oh, the room is so small. I thought it would be a lot bigger.
W: So did I. After all, it's a new one. It's our own house. That's what really matters. Is that right Let's put the chairs in front of the fireplace.
M: Um, but we should first consider where to put the bed. It is the biggest piece of furniture.
W: Well, let's put it over there. And the chairs near the window.

W: Dad, where are we going
M: first, we will go to the city center and stop for something for drink. Then we will visit the University Museum.
W: where are we going to have a drink
M: there is a coffee shop round the corner. Can you see that big building at the end of the road
W: Yeah, I can see it.
M: That is a bank. The coffee shop is opposite the bank.
W: Good. I will have hot chocolate.
M: Samantha, stop! Wait for the lights to turn green. When crossing the road, you must always pay attention to what's around you.
W: Sorry. How far is the museum
M: Only three stops away. We can walk there. Here we are. You find us a table and I'll get the drinks.

M: Last summer I went to Miami Beach, Florida, where I stayed for two weeks. My friend John and I flew to Miami from New York in three hours. It was the first time for both of us to travel by air. We sat near the window of the plane and enjoyed an unusual and beautiful view of the world. We went there because the cost was lower. We stayed at a hotel on the beach. We slept late every morning and then had breakfast outdoors near the pool. When the weather was not too hot, we went sightseeing in the morning. In the afternoon, we would go swimming in the ocean, lie in the sun, or go water-skiing. After dinner in the evening, we usually went dancing or enjoyed ourselves in the nightclubs. The two weeks went by too quickly. We were both very sorry when we had to leave.
