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
Starting a new book can feel like a bit of a commitment (承诺) , but it doesn't have to be! Here are four books you can read in a single day.
The House on Mango Street
Released in 1984 and written by Mexican-American author Sandra Cisneros, The House on Mango Street is only 103 pages long. It's a rapid read for those looking to dip their toes into the water, but it still deals with complex themes and important subject matters, including language, race, ageing and troubles.
The Midnight Library
The Midnight Library from the English author Matt Haig was released in 2020. It has 288 pages, which makes it a little more challenging but still absolutely doable (可做的) in a single day. The novel is all about storytelling, with Nora Seed exploring the “what ifs” of her life.
The Perilous Life of Jade Yeo
Released in 2012 and written by the fantastic Malaysian-English author Zen Cho, the page count is an extremely manageable 76 pages, which makes this another effective first read in one day. The novel is set in London in the 1920s and follows the life of another writer, Jade Yeo. There is even enough time for readers to appreciate a film adaptation of the book after reading it.
Stardust
The 1999 novel by English author Neil Gaiman is a perfect presentation of the writer's fantasy styles at their best. Stardust, which became a major motion picture, sits at 256pages. It's epic (史诗般的) in its scale, but the reader can fit the novel into a single day, giving them a true sense of absolute escapism to the fantasy land of Stormhold.
21. Which book can make you feel like escaping from reality and being in a kind of dreamland
A. The Perilous Life of Jade Yeo. B. The Midnight Library.
C. Stardust. D. The House on Mango Street.

A. It's supposed to be made into a film soon.

D. It is all about storytelling, with Nora Seed exploring the “what ifs” of her life.

A British woman, Dr. Mantri, growing up in India started to notice her son, Dhruv, was struggling with simple math problems when he was in the fifth grade. After noticing this, she started using an abacus (算盘) to help her son visually (形象化地) understand mathematics.
“I would ask him something like 35 minus 13 but he couldn't do it,” said Dhruv's mom Dr. Mantri. “I decided to change the way he looked at numbers,” she said. “An abacus is a tried and tested method, and the Egyptians used them for building the pyramid.” In just six days he started to make progress in using the abacus and would go on to become an outstanding kid with numbers, with even his classmates' parents reaching out for help.
She never thought she would teach her son to use an abacus, which she used as a child in India and it was always helpful. Within six days she started to notice a difference and see results. So dramatic was the change that school staff asked him to perform with the abacus at a meeting, where some parents even came to ask for advice on using it for their kids.
IT specialist Dr. Mantri said the humble abacus can be used for calculations and kids enjoy learning on it because it's like a game. “It becomes a playing tool for younger children, for it feels like a game. I think the success comes because children can touch and feel an abacus and visualize them,” she added.
By the age of 12, Dhruv was giving online cyber security class and is now pursuing a career in data science and analytics. Dhruv has now got an apprenticeship (实习) at an international firm. During the four-year apprenticeship, he will spend one day a week studying Data Science and Artificial Intelligence at Glasgow Caledonian University. “He is so confident now and I am so proud,” Dr. Mantri said, with Dhruv adding, “I don't think my teachers would have guessed that I would be following a career in data science at that time.”
24. Why did Dr. Mantri begin to use an abacus to teach his son
A. Her son showed high interest in the toy abacus. B. Her son had some difficulty in learning maths.
C. Her son had talent for numbers when young. D. Her son once watched others use an abacus.
25. What can we know from what Dr. Mantri said in Paragraph 2
A. The abacus had a very long history. B. The abacus had been out of date now.
C. The abacus was a challenge for her son. D. The abacus was easy for most people to use.
26. What is the main topic of Paragraph 4
A. The way to teach children to learn on an abacus.
B. The development and change of the abacus in history.
C. The reason why children would love to learn on an abacus.
D. The disadvantage of using an abacus to calculate an amount.
27. What is true about Dhruv at present
A. He is a full-time student at Glasgow Caledonian University.
B. He is expert in data science and analytics now.
C. He gives online cyber security class now.
D. He works in an international company.

More than half of Americans have felt the influence of extreme heat on health, according to a survey. That percentage is even higher in California, where heat is the top problem, reported by 71% of those surveyed. “California does have low levels of air conditioning in homes, maybe because it has cool wind in many parts, but when an extreme heat event comes and there's no cool air available, you are in trouble,” said David Eisenman, a health researcher. “So you are seeing this higher number.”
Luz Rivas from Los Angeles grew up in a home without air conditioning. “Families like mine have suffered from heat for years,” said Rivas. On hot days, her mother used to take her to the mall to cool down. “Now that these heat waves are getting longer, methods used in the past aren't going to work as well,” Rivas added.
The California Environment Protection Agency will create a heat wave ranking system to give public warnings. It's supposed to help the public, especially those outdoor workers, know the seriousness of the heat wave and then learn what they should do. The idea is backed up widely. Many health researchers point out the health risks of heat are worse for outdoor workers, saying that in summer, there's an 8% increase in deaths on the hottest days.
Lawmakers of California are also considering making indoor cooling a housing right. It can especially help renters like Minerva Contreras, a mother of two living near Bakersfield. Her neighbourhood has seen many days with temperatures over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. “It's very difficult because it's like not being able to breathe,” said Contreras. Indoor cooling standards are valued by renters but may face a serious fight, and many house owners think the standards fail to consider the variety of climates in the state. For now, the cost of keeping cool for renters mostly falls on them. Contreras doesn't hold much hope that California will pass cooling standards, saying, “But I would like it very much.”
28. What can we learn about Californians
A. They are more affected by hot weather.
B. They can be more adapted to hot weather.
C. They are more concerned about their health.
D. They always have a bigger demand for air conditioning.
29. How is the method of cooling down in the mall according to Rivas in paragraph 2
A. It is a marketing strategy. B. It is worthy of a try.
C. It has gained popularity. D. It is not as useful as before.
30. Why does the author mention the increase of deaths on hot days
A. To have pity on outdoor workers. B. To prove the necessity of the system.
C. To tell outdoor workers to work harder. D. To warn people to fight against the heat outside.
31. What does Contreras think of indoor cooling standards
A. Challenging. B. Amusing. C. Shocking. D. Puzzling.
D
Primary and secondary school learners, university students, and guests were invited on Wednesday and were treated to a colorful celebration at the Confucius Institute at the University of Nairobi, to mark the beginning of the year of the dragon which officially starts on Saturday. The place featured beautiful decorations with red and gold colors and lucky symbols.
Visitors got an opportunity to participate in cultural experiences including painting, papercutting and pot throwing as well as experiencing Chinese cuisines like spicy hotpot, steamed stuffed buns (包子) , Chinese hamburgers, dumplings and barbecue among others. They were also treated to heartwarming performances including face-changing, lion dance, dragon dance, drumming, Chinese opera, Chinese songs and a talent show featuring Chinese traditional clothes as well as a mixture of Chinese and Kenyan fashion.
Leah Muthoni, a student at the University of Nairobi lauded the Chinese cuisines served at the event, especially noodles and dumplings. She also appreciated the decorations, drawings, pictures and performances. Similar feelings were also shared by George Mwita, another student from the University of Nairobi who greatly enjoyed the pot throwing game.
In his welcoming speech, Professor Stephen Kiama, the vice headmaster of the University of Nairobi who doubles up as the Kenya director of the Confucius Institute, hoped this year will be a good year of development because the Chinese dragon horns represent power and strength, while the drums represent courage and energy.

Kiama hopes that this year the Confucius Institute will gain more force with the blessing of power, courage and vitality from the year of the Chinese dragon. He said the Confucius Institute offers a good platform for cultural exchange between China and Kenya through events like the Chinese Lunar Year celebrations. Kiama hoped that the relationship between China and Kenya would further be strengthened by the blessings of the year of the dragon.
In Chinese methodology (方法论) , the dragon has the power to control seasons, time and harvests, and it's seen as a symbol of wealth. The Chinese consider dragons to be powerful, sympathetic, wise, kind and warm.

Keeping animals safe on the road
Roadkill is not a rare sight when driving down most highways and sometimes also on roadways in cities. 36 . A recent study has measured, for the first time, the damage that can be caused to animals in urban areas on China's fast-developing road network.
37 . Li Zhongqiu and his team from Nanjing University's School of Life looked at the problem in cities, where roadkill could have an even larger impact.
They chose Nanjing as the study subject, where there are more than 9, 700 kilometers of paved roads. A total of nine roads were chosen for the research, including three national highways. 38 . The researchers then monitored the roads every two weeks over a year. The team recorded a total of 293 individual roadkill cases. Birds made up nearly half the total, making them the most susceptible (易受影响的) group to roadkill. 39 . “This may be owing to the large number of stray (流浪的) cats and dogs in urban areas,” Li said. “Abandoned pets are more likely to wander into traffic.” Also, there are a large number of blackbirds in East China, and they can be attracted by flies or other insects, leading to further accidents. 40 . This may be owing to the fact that some warm-blooded animals have to go out and search for food during these times when food is hard to find. “Roadkill has resulted in the decline (下降) of urban animal populations and must be taken seriously,” Li said. The researchers also call on policymakers to put forward related traffic rules and animal protection rules, such as speed limits and traffic controls.
A. You may not feel good about seeing roadkill
B. The object is to educate people about road safety
C. The length of the roads combined was over 224. 27 kilometers
D. It refers to animals being hit by cars or other vehicles by accident
E. Cats, dogs and blackbirds were the three commonly killed animals
F. In the past, research in China focused on roadkill in nature reserves
G. Roadkill incidents are more likely to happen in November and January

Dear Nancy,
How's it going I'm glad that you show interest in our recent tour. It was a one-day tour last weekend. I'd like to tell you something about it.
At seven in the morning last Saturday, we set off for the Wetland Park. In order to take more exercise, all of us cycled there. We appreciated it a lot when we saw some birds and wild animals there. We did many interesting activities that day. One was going boating on the river, which made some of us, especially the girls frightened because they had never experienced that before. The most exciting activity was the fishing competition, in which I caught the most fish. The Wetland Park was really a wonderful place and we had a great time there.
Yours,
Li Hua

A
Starting a new book can feel like a bit of a commitment (承诺) , but it doesn't have to be! Here are four books you can read in a single day.
The House on Mango Street
Released in 1984 and written by Mexican-American author Sandra Cisneros, The House on Mango Street is only 103 pages long. It's a rapid read for those looking to dip their toes into the water, but it still deals with complex themes and important subject matters, including language, race, ageing and troubles.
The Midnight Library
The Midnight Library from the English author Matt Haig was released in 2020. It has 288 pages, which makes it a little more challenging but still absolutely doable (可做的) in a single day. The novel is all about storytelling, with Nora Seed exploring the “what ifs” of her life.
The Perilous Life of Jade Yeo
Released in 2012 and written by the fantastic Malaysian-English author Zen Cho, the page count is an extremely manageable 76 pages, which makes this another effective first read in one day. The novel is set in London in the 1920s and follows the life of another writer, Jade Yeo. There is even enough time for readers to appreciate a film adaptation of the book after reading it.
Stardust
The 1999 novel by English author Neil Gaiman is a perfect presentation of the writer's fantasy styles at their best. Stardust, which became a major motion picture, sits at 256pages. It's epic (史诗般的) in its scale, but the reader can fit the novel into a single day, giving them a true sense of absolute escapism to the fantasy land of Stormhold.
21. Which book can make you feel like escaping from reality and being in a kind of dreamland
A. The Perilous Life of Jade Yeo. B. The Midnight Library.
C. Stardust. D. The House on Mango Street.
22. What fact can we get from The Perilous Life of Jade Yeo
A. It's supposed to be made into a film soon.
B. The book tells the life of its author, Zen Cho.
C. Its background is in London about a century ago.
D. It is a bit more challenging to finish reading it in two days.
23. Why may readers be fond of The House on Mango Street
A. It is a perfect presentation of the writer's own experiences.
B. It involves complex themes and important subject matters.
C. It was written by a well-known Malaysian-English author.
D. It is all about storytelling, with Nora Seed exploring the “what ifs” of her life.

A British woman, Dr. Mantri, growing up in India started to notice her son, Dhruv, was struggling with simple math problems when he was in the fifth grade. After noticing this, she started using an abacus (算盘) to help her son visually (形象化地) understand mathematics.
“I would ask him something like 35 minus 13 but he couldn't do it,” said Dhruv's mom Dr. Mantri. “I decided to change the way he looked at numbers,” she said. “An abacus is a tried and tested method, and the Egyptians used them for building the pyramid.” In just six days he started to make progress in using the abacus and would go on to become an outstanding kid with numbers, with even his classmates' parents reaching out for help.
She never thought she would teach her son to use an abacus, which she used as a child in India and it was always helpful. Within six days she started to notice a difference and see results. So dramatic was the change that school staff asked him to perform with the abacus at a meeting, where some parents even came to ask for advice on using it for their kids.
IT specialist Dr. Mantri said the humble abacus can be used for calculations and kids enjoy learning on it because it's like a game. “It becomes a playing tool for younger children, for it feels like a game. I think the success comes because children can touch and feel an abacus and visualize them,” she added.
By the age of 12, Dhruv was giving online cyber security class and is now pursuing a career in data science and analytics. Dhruv has now got an apprenticeship (实习) at an international firm. During the four-year apprenticeship, he will spend one day a week studying Data Science and Artificial Intelligence at Glasgow Caledonian University. “He is so confident now and I am so proud,” Dr. Mantri said, with Dhruv adding, “I don't think my teachers would have guessed that I would be following a career in data science at that time.”
24. Why did Dr. Mantri begin to use an abacus to teach his son
A. Her son showed high interest in the toy abacus. B. Her son had some difficulty in learning maths.
C. Her son had talent for numbers when young. D. Her son once watched others use an abacus.
25. What can we know from what Dr. Mantri said in Paragraph 2
A. The abacus had a very long history. B. The abacus had been out of date now.
C. The abacus was a challenge for her son. D. The abacus was easy for most people to use.
26. What is the main topic of Paragraph 4
A. The way to teach children to learn on an abacus.
B. The development and change of the abacus in history.
C. The reason why children would love to learn on an abacus.
D. The disadvantage of using an abacus to calculate an amount.
27. What is true about Dhruv at present
A. He is a full-time student at Glasgow Caledonian University.
B. He is expert in data science and analytics now.
C. He gives online cyber security class now.
D. He works in an international company.
C
More than half of Americans have felt the influence of extreme heat on health, according to a survey. That percentage is even higher in California, where heat is the top problem, reported by 71% of those surveyed. “California does have low levels of air conditioning in homes, maybe because it has cool wind in many parts, but when an extreme heat event comes and there's no cool air available, you are in trouble,” said David Eisenman, a health researcher. “So you are seeing this higher number.”
Luz Rivas from Los Angeles grew up in a home without air conditioning. “Families like mine have suffered from heat for years,” said Rivas. On hot days, her mother used to take her to the mall to cool down. “Now that these heat waves are getting longer, methods used in the past aren't going to work as well,” Rivas added.
The California Environment Protection Agency will create a heat wave ranking system to give public warnings. It's supposed to help the public, especially those outdoor workers, know the seriousness of the heat wave and then learn what they should do. The idea is backed up widely. Many health researchers point out the health risks of heat are worse for outdoor workers, saying that in summer, there's an 8% increase in deaths on the hottest days.
Lawmakers of California are also considering making indoor cooling a housing right. It can especially help renters like Minerva Contreras, a mother of two living near Bakersfield. Her neighbourhood has seen many days with temperatures over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. “It's very difficult because it's like not being able to breathe,” said Contreras. Indoor cooling standards are valued by renters but may face a serious fight, and many house owners think the standards fail to consider the variety of climates in the state. For now, the cost of keeping cool for renters mostly falls on them. Contreras doesn't hold much hope that California will pass cooling standards, saying, “But I would like it very much.”
28. What can we learn about Californians
A. They are more affected by hot weather.
B. They can be more adapted to hot weather.
C. They are more concerned about their health.
D. They always have a bigger demand for air conditioning.
29. How is the method of cooling down in the mall according to Rivas in paragraph 2
A. It is a marketing strategy. B. It is worthy of a try.
C. It has gained popularity. D. It is not as useful as before.
30. Why does the author mention the increase of deaths on hot days
A. To have pity on outdoor workers. B. To prove the necessity of the system.
C. To tell outdoor workers to work harder. D. To warn people to fight against the heat outside.
31. What does Contreras think of indoor cooling standards
A. Challenging. B. Amusing. C. Shocking. D. Puzzling.
D
Primary and secondary school learners, university students, and guests were invited on Wednesday and were treated to a colorful celebration at the Confucius Institute at the University of Nairobi, to mark the beginning of the year of the dragon which officially starts on Saturday. The place featured beautiful decorations with red and gold colors and lucky symbols.
Visitors got an opportunity to participate in cultural experiences including painting, papercutting and pot throwing as well as experiencing Chinese cuisines like spicy hotpot, steamed stuffed buns (包子) , Chinese hamburgers, dumplings and barbecue among others. They were also treated to heartwarming performances including face-changing, lion dance, dragon dance, drumming, Chinese opera, Chinese songs and a talent show featuring Chinese traditional clothes as well as a mixture of Chinese and Kenyan fashion.
Leah Muthoni, a student at the University of Nairobi lauded the Chinese cuisines served at the event, especially noodles and dumplings. She also appreciated the decorations, drawings, pictures and performances. Similar feelings were also shared by George Mwita, another student from the University of Nairobi who greatly enjoyed the pot throwing game.
In his welcoming speech, Professor Stephen Kiama, the vice headmaster of the University of Nairobi who doubles up as the Kenya director of the Confucius Institute, hoped this year will be a good year of development because the Chinese dragon horns represent power and strength, while the drums represent courage and energy.
Kiama said the Confucius Institute at the University of Nairobi has achieved a lot since its establishment in 2005， including winning the Confucius Institute of the Year Award seven times and pioneering the establishment of the Bachelor of Arts in the Chinese language in Kenya. “Last year, with the joint efforts of the various parties and stakeholders we established the first bachelor of education in Chinese in Kenya and we admitted the first group of students,” he said. Kiama hopes that this year the Confucius Institute will gain more force with the blessing of power, courage and vitality from the year of the Chinese dragon. He said the Confucius Institute offers a good platform for cultural exchange between China and Kenya through events like the Chinese Lunar Year celebrations. Kiama hoped that the relationship between China and Kenya would further be strengthened by the blessings of the year of the dragon.
In Chinese methodology (方法论) , the dragon has the power to control seasons, time and harvests, and it's seen as a symbol of wealth. The Chinese consider dragons to be powerful, sympathetic, wise, kind and warm.
32. What is spoken of as one of the cultural experiences the visitors participated in

C. Reciting Chinese poems. D. Guessing lantern riddles.

Keeping animals safe on the road
Roadkill is not a rare sight when driving down most highways and sometimes also on roadways in cities. 36 . A recent study has measured, for the first time, the damage that can be caused to animals in urban areas on China's fast-developing road network.
37 . Li Zhongqiu and his team from Nanjing University's School of Life looked at the problem in cities, where roadkill could have an even larger impact.
They chose Nanjing as the study subject, where there are more than 9, 700 kilometers of paved roads. A total of nine roads were chosen for the research, including three national highways. 38 . The researchers then monitored the roads every two weeks over a year. The team recorded a total of 293 individual roadkill cases. Birds made up nearly half the total, making them the most susceptible (易受影响的) group to roadkill. 39 . “This may be owing to the large number of stray (流浪的) cats and dogs in urban areas,” Li said. “Abandoned pets are more likely to wander into traffic.” Also, there are a large number of blackbirds in East China, and they can be attracted by flies or other insects, leading to further accidents. 40 . This may be owing to the fact that some warm-blooded animals have to go out and search for food during these times when food is hard to find. “Roadkill has resulted in the decline (下降) of urban animal populations and must be taken seriously,” Li said. The researchers also call on policymakers to put forward related traffic rules and animal protection rules, such as speed limits and traffic controls.
A. You may not feel good about seeing roadkill
B. The object is to educate people about road safety
C. The length of the roads combined was over 224. 27 kilometers
D. It refers to animals being hit by cars or other vehicles by accident
E. Cats, dogs and blackbirds were the three commonly killed animals
F. In the past, research in China focused on roadkill in nature reserves
G. Roadkill incidents are more likely to happen in November and January

Mathea, now 94, of Koloa, Hawaii, USA, stays in shape all year round by running seven days a week, no matter what the weather is. Whether there is rain or sunshine, she covers 36 miles every week, even when she's on holiday. The retired doctor didn't 68 running until she was 46 years old—after a friend 69 she should run two miles per day.
“The Honolulu Marathon is my 70 marathon mainly because it doesn't close the gate 71 , which allows even the slowest runner to finish the race,” she said. “It's one of the best races.
Mathea, who doesn't allow her age to slow her 72 , thinks she is the happiest person when she's on the road. She enjoys running for miles and waving and saying hello to the people she passes. To stay in shape, Mathea keeps a steady training routine (惯例) . “I train all year round but increase the mileage (里程) 18 weeks before a marathon,” she said.

One possible version:
Dear Nancy,
How's it going I'm glad that you show interest in our recent tour. It was a one-day tour last weekend. I'd like to tell you something about it.
At seven in the morning last Saturday, we set off for the Wetland Park. In order to take more exercise, all of us cycled there. We appreciated it a lot when we saw some birds and wild animals there. We did many interesting activities that day. One was going boating on the river, which made some of us, especially the girls frightened because they had never experienced that before. The most exciting activity was the fishing competition, in which I caught the most fish. The Wetland Park was really a wonderful place and we had a great time there.
Yours,
Li Hua
