阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Four Hotels That Will Make Your Life Easier
Marriott Detroit Airport
It’s such an ideal option for business travelers in a hurry. Here is the basic idea: You download the iPhone or Android app. The night before, you can “check-in” virtually. When you arrive you get a message that the room is ready and your key, which is already tied to your reservation, is waiting for you at the desk.
Yotel New York
The self-service kiosks (一体机) at this high-tech New York hotel are open 24×7 and work just like the ones you’d see at an airport. There are just five-steps to register and obtain your room card. There’s even a luggage robot. You tap in the number of bags you’re carrying, then wait for a robot arm to swing down and store your luggage in a locker.
Hyatt Regency Minneapolis
Business travelers like the fast kiosk check-in works. Like the Yotel, the kiosk asks you to put in your credit card. The whole process takes about three minutes. When travelers leave, they can be equally impressed with the fast check-out. You never have to wait in line.
Radisson LaCrosse
The Radisson is trying to make the kiosk process even faster, you use a mobile app to register and then receive a password by email or text. When you get to the kiosk, you can scan the password to get your key without any other steps required. It’s incredibly fast.
21. Which hotel has the self-service luggage locker
A. Marriott Detroit Airport. B. Yotel New York.
C. Hyatt Regency Minneapolis. D. Radisson LaCrosse.
22. What do Marriott Detroit Airport and Radisson LaCrosse have in common
A. They provide key-free service.
B. They both have the fastest check-in process.
C. Travelers need to check in with a credit card.
D. Travelers can check in with their mobile phones.
23. What’s the main purpose of the text
A. To assess the service of the hotels.
B. To criticize the service of the hotels.
C. To recommend hotels with fast service.
D. To help customers check in and check out.
B
My husband Robert and I had volunteered to help build an irrigation (灌溉) system for bananas in Zambia. The Heart of Africa Mission is run by local Zambians, with a focus on community development. We were there to share our agricultural experience and knowledge with the African farmers.
We left snow-covered Alberta, Canada in January. We spent the next four weeks working side by side with the local Zambians in a banana plantation (种植园) . The banana plantation would help make the Heart of Africa Mission self-supporting. It would also teach banana farming to the students there. Students would go on to teach others. It has done that and more. Through the jobs created, several families now have food, education for their children, and enough housing. The plantation is producing well and is a source of great pride for all who work there.
My husband worked hard at building the irrigation system. But the story he tells most often is of the young man who stopped us on one of our walks somewhere. He pointed to his bike, and laughing widely, told Robert, “Look, look, it still works.” Robert had repaired it for him. A bike in Zambia is like a truck in North America-necessary transportation for people and produce. Robert’s small effort made a big difference in this man’s life.
“We sure appreciate your sacrifice (牺牲),” our organizer often says. For us it was never a sacrifice, only an honor to have the chance to work in a place so far from our own, to be able to exchange ideas and thoughts. All this happened while living in a beautiful sunny country in the green of the rainy season, while at home in Alberta, the snow would cover the landscape for months. No, the volunteer work was never a sacrifice. It was only an honor.
24. What can we learn about the author from the first paragraph
A. She likes to take adventures.
B. She is probably an expert in agriculture.
C. She started the Heart of Africa Mission.
D. She was in charge of community development.
25. Which of the following best describes the author’s volunteer job
A. Costly. B. Tiring. C. Challenging. D. Fruitful.
26. Why did the young man stop the author and her husband
A. To ask for help. B. To express his thanks.
C. To show his cycling skills. D. To tell them about his work.
27. Why did the author consider the volunteer work an honor
A. It enabled her to work harder.
B. It brought her fame and money.
C. It made her sacrifice a lot.
D. It allowed her to experience different things.
C
Microbiologists have designed a sustainable way to remove polluting microplastics from the environment by using bacteria. Initial design as it is, it paves the way for sustainably lowering plastic pollution levels and stop the “plastification”.
Bacteria naturally tend to group together and stick to surfaces, and this creates a sticky material called “biofilm”. Researchers at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) want to use this adhesive bacteria character and capture microplastics in polluted water to form an easily disposable and recyclable blob (团).
Sylvia Lang Liu, microbiology researcher at PolyU and lead researcher on this project, together with his team, has engineered a bacterial biofilm, which can fix and absorb microplastics floating around in the water, and make them sink to the bottom of the water. Then the researchers can separate the microplastics from the bacteria traps and get them ready to recycle.
Microplastics are the plastic pieces, usually smaller than 5mm, which are accidentally released into the environment during production and breakdown of grocery bags or water bottles, or during everyday activities such as washing synthetic (合成的) clothes or using personal care products with scrubbing microbeads in them. Microplastics are visually tiny, making it challenging to develop effective solutions to trap, collect, and recycle them.
Microplastics are not easily biodegradable (生物降解的), so they stick around for long and absorb and accumulate poisonous chemicals. They spread into wastewater and into the oceans, endangering ocean animals and eventually threatening human health. Microplastics had been found in more than 114 species living in the water and also salt, lettuce, apples, and more in 2018 according to the International Maritime Organization.
“This is an innovative application of biofilm engineering to address the plastic pollution crisis,” said Dr Joanna Sadler, researcher at University of Edinburgh, who was not involved in this study. “One of the biggest challenges in dealing with microplastics is capturing such small particles (颗粒). Liu and co-workers have demonstrated an elegant solution to this problem, which holds great potential to be further developed into a real-world wastewater treatment technology.”
28. Which of the following best explains the underlined word “adhesive” in Paragraph 2
A. Floating. B. Sticky. C. Diverse. D. Visual.
29. Why are microplastics hard to capture
A. They are visually too small. B. They are hard to biodegrade.
C. They continue to exist for long. D. They are poisonous chemicals.
30. What can be learned from the last paragraph
A. Small particles are essential to address water pollution.
B. Biofilm bas been widely used to settle plastic pollution.
C. Sadler thinks little of the biofilm engineering application.
D. Biofilm application is promising for wastewater treatment.
31. What is the text mainly about
A. Microplastic removal. B. Uses of bacteria.
C. Wastewater treatment. D. Plastic pollution.

Have you ever complained that there just aren’t enough hours in a day Do you usually find yourself falling short on time in completing assigned tasks 32 No matter how hard I tried, tasks just kept piling up towards the end every day and it became extremely difficult to stay productive. In spite of trying all kinds of free and paid to-do apps, nothing helped.
That didn’t change until I discovered the time management technique called Time Blocking. Since then, I have been able to transform my daily schedule for the better with the help of Time Blocking. 33
It is a simple time management technique where you schedule your day such that it is divided into time blocks that are assigned to specific tasks or groups of tasks. 34 Imagine that you have a dozen or so tasks that you want to finish working on tomorrow. You open your to-do app of choice and neatly list down everything that you plan to do, and then plot some important meetings and reminders in your calendar app. 35 The more specific you are about the task, the more focused and productive you will be and thus, more productive.
36 It not only makes your to-do list more manageable, but also it gives you more control over your day and helps you prioritize (优先处理) your tasks. It also improves your focus and helps get rid of procrastination (拖延症), as it allows you to focus on one project at a time.
A. So what is it exactly
B. Is everyone interested in it
C. I used to be in the same boat.
D. The benefits of Time Blocking are substantial.
E. Let’s further explain the concept in another way.
F. You’ll meet with countless questions like these in your life
G. You’ll need to be very specific about the time and what you’re planning to do.

Jenny lived in a small village. When she was a child, what she liked to do most was watch the blue sky and enjoy birds flying freely in the sky. She always imagined that some day she could also fly in the sky like a bird.
When Jane was in the fourth grade, one day, her teacher asked them to write a report on what they wanted to be when they grew up. She poured her heart into her report and wrote that she dreamed to become an airline pilot in the future. She thought that she did a great job because she expressed her real idea successfully. However, to her surprise, her paper came back with an “F” on it. The teacher told her it was nothing but a “fairy tale”, which could never become true. Jenny felt completely disappointed and sad. In her heart, she didn’t want to accept that a girl couldn’t become a pilot. But as the years went by, Jenny was beaten down by the discouragement again and again from people around her. “Girls can’t become airline pilots; never have, never will. You’re crazy.” Finally, Jenny gave up her dream.
However, when Jenny studied in her senior year of high school, she met an English teacher called Marsha, who was a strict teacher with high standards but very kind. She often inspired her students to do something meaningful in the future. One day, Mrs. Marsha asked all the students to think about the question: “What will you do in the future ” At that time, Jenny hesitated for a while. She was worried that she would be laughed at again. But soon she felt a rush of the old enthusiasm, and with excitement she wrote down the very old dream of becoming a pilot right away.

Dear teachers and schoolmates,
Today, on the occasion of International Volunteer Day, as Chairman of School Volunteer Association, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to our school volunteers. Your tireless efforts have made a significant difference.
Volunteering is not only beneficial to those we assist but also to ourselves. For one thing, it improves other people’s quality of life. For another, engaging in volunteer work allows us to develop essential skills like teamwork and leadership and nurtures a sense of social responsibility.
On this special day, I would like to call on everyone to join hands and throw ourselves into volunteering.

Para 1:
The next day, Marsha came into the classroom with a bright smile on her face. She praised all the students for what they had finished including Jenny. Mrs. Marsha told Jenny that her dream was wonderful and she was sure that Jenny would have the abilities and talents to make it come true if she tried her best. Besides, she also encouraged Jenny to keep on trying without worrying about others’ opinions. Hearing the words, Jenny felt a relief from her heart and made up her mind to study hard to realize her dream.
Para 2:
The hurt and fear of years of discouragement disappeared. Encouraged and full of passion, Jenny began to pursue her dream with all her effort. In the following ten years, she studied hard and never gave up even when she was faced with all kinds of difficulties. Eventually, Jenny became a pilot of a famous airline company, realizing her dream of flying in the sky like a bird. All of us may meet different difficulties on our way to success, but if we keep on trying without giving up, we will make it come true.
