As technology and supermarkets have made buying food easier and more convenient than ever, researchers believe people are growing more distant from the food they eat. As knowledge about crops, food production, and healthy eating is lost over generations, some school districts are looking to reconnect children with their food by educating them in a garden setting. Researchers observed one 搒chool garden in a rural Midwestern school district, in which teachers held classes outside in a garden one or two times per month.
揥e have lost touch with a lot of basic skills related to food, which raises concerns for the future of food production and the eating habits of our children. And we wanted to see if allowing children to ‘taste’ their education in a garden setting could have the potential to reorient (重新定位) them toward environment and health issues that will only become more important as they grow. This case study showed that the answer is 憏es. The potential is there. says Mary Hendrickson, an associate professor of rural sociology at the University of Missouri抯 College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources.
The idea of school gardens is not new, but most of these programs have occurred in wealthy urban settings. Beginning as an after-school club led by volunteers, the program eventually changed to the control of the school district. The district joined it into the school day an average of one or two times per month, when students would attend classes outside surrounded by fruits and vegetables. Each grade level received their own garden.
Researchers found that school garden education affected the children beyond the classroom, with students expecting healthier choices on the school抯 salad bar and starting their own gardens at home, as well as generally expressing more interest in food production and preparation, encouraging them to develop an appreciation for fresh, healthy foods.
揥hat we heard from the people involved in this program is that their children are more interested in eating healthier food and have choices of food systems like organics and farmer抯 markets, giving children more control over their lives. says Mary.
揑 think that people recognize that we are a rural community, but we are not healthy eaters, one participant said. 揥e do have cattle and chickens, but we don抰 have gardens because when I was growing up we didn抰 talk about healthy food. Nobody really grew food.
24. What are some schools trying to do to their students?
A. To teach them to build a school garden.
B. To advise them to eat health food.
C. To bring them together with food.
D. To remind them to learn knowledge.
25. What is Mary Hendrickson抯 attitude towards the practice of building a 搒chool garden?
A. Critical. B. Favourable. C. ambiguous. D. neutral.
26. What is the finding of the researchers about the students?
A. They will have the abilities to make informed choices of food.
B. They will learn some skills to prepare for their everyday food.
C. They will probably eat more healthy salad than meat.
D. They will take an active part in out-of-class activities.
27. What is the passage mainly discussing about?
A. The significance of developing healthy lifestyles.
B. The change in people抯 buying food in the future.
C. The education of reconnecting students with food.
D. The necessity of teaching students gardening.

Australian experts have expressed concerns that too many millennials (千禧一代) are hoping to use their social media accounts to build their careers.?
Their concerns follow the sudden rise in “insta-celebrities” who make money by posting sponsored (赞助的) photos online. For the lucky few who are not only talented photographers but also good-looking and business-savvy (有商业头脑的), making money off social media isn’t impossible.
Instagram is flooded with social media professionals paid to promote products and services. However, social scientist Lauren Rosewarne, from the University of Melbourne, says that in reality, there are far fewer people making money off the platforms than one may think.
She said many young Australians were getting sucked in by the appeal of making money on platforms like Instagram, describing it as 搕otally unrealistic and extremely difficult to do.
揧oung people are hoping to be famous in numbers that were simply not there 20 years ago, Rosewarne told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) on Saturday. “There are some people who can make fortunes out of monetizing (使具有货币性质) their Instagram posts, but that is not the norm.”
She said it was up to parents and schools to discourage students from seeking Insta-fame, as many believe it is a possible career choice. 揟here抯 the warning for parents; this is not a normal or even common occurrence that you can monetize your Instagram account.
Meanwhile Toni Eager from Australian National University said social problems could arise from spending too much time with social media.
揥here do the insta-celebrities go to separate the life people see on Instagram from their actual normal life? Eager said. 揂ll of a sudden, people own your private life.
28. Why is there a rise in 搃nsta-celebrities?
A. Many young people are good at taking photos.
B. Many people see it as a shortcut to making money.
C. People want to socialize by sharing photos online.
D. Instagram offers a reliable career choice for millennials.
29. What does the underlined phrase 揼etting sucked in in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Becoming involved in something. B. Benefiting from something.
C. Taking advantage of something. D. Being satisfied with something.
30. What message does the author convey by quoting Lauren Rosewarne?
A. Young people today are more business-savvy than ever.
B. Young people are becoming less interested in internet fame.
C. Instagram is not a good platform to promote new products.
D. It抯 a bad idea for young people to try earning money on Instagram.
31. What problem does Toni Eager think overuse of social media could cause?
A. An over-reliance on Instagram.
B. Inability to appreciate life.
C. A loss of personal privacy.
D. An addiction to the virtual life online.

SpaceX, Elon musk’s rocket company, launched the newly designed Crew Dragon capsule carrying four astronauts to space on Nov 16. The spacecraft successfully docked (对接) with the International Space Station (ISS) on Nov 17.
This is the first time that NASA has sent a crew into orbit entirely via a privately-owned spacecraft. 揑t抯 the start of a new era in which routine astronaut journeys to low-Earth orbit are being conducted by commercial providers, NASA said. NASA抯 commercial manned program has taken a lot of risks. Whether the funding is sufficient in the long term and whether the companies have the capabilities to solve all the technical difficulties have been repeatedly questioned by the US Congress.
Before the launch, NASA had cooperated with SpaceX for more than a decade to build a manned spacecraft. Back in 2014, NASA was facing a viral decision choosing the finalists to complete the task of developing alternative space shuttles. Eventually, it came down to Boeing and SpaceX. There was fierce competition between the two companies to complete the mission.
In December 2019, Boeing抯 manned spaceship, CST-100Starliner, conducted a test flight, but due to multiple errors, the flight failed to reach the ISS. The recent launch of the Dragon capsule wasn抰 flawless, either. An air leak caused an unexpected drop in capsule pressure less than two hours before launch, a NASA official said. Thanks to the technicians, the launch wasn抰 affected.
In the coming year, US actor Tom Cruise will start a commercial space journey on the Dragon capsule to film a movie at the ISS. At the same time, Boeing is catching up. The company will conduct another unmanned flight in 2021, and its first manned mission will take place sometime in 2022. 揑t very much follows the aviation (航空) era where airliners used to be government-run, and now of course they’ve been commercial for a number of decades,” said one of the Dragon capsule crew members.
32. What is the significance of the successful launch of Crew Dragon capsule?
A. It carried four astronauts into the space.
B. It successfully docked with the International Space Station.
C. It sent ordinary people to space for the first time.
D. It marks the beginning of spaceflights being conducted by commercial providers.
33. What抯 the main factor contributing to the successful launch of Crew Dragon capsule?
A. SpaceX抯 long-term cooperation with NASA.
B. Boeing抯 failure in the test flight due to multiple errors.
C. SpaceX抯 having sufficient funding.
D. All the technical difficulties being timely fixed.
34. What does the underlined 搃t refer to in paragraph 5?
A. Crew Dragon capsule launched by SpaceX.
B. commercial space exploration.
C. the competition between Boeing and SpaceX.
D. commercial airliners.
35. Which one can be the best title for this passage?
A. Manned spaceflight was launched.
B. Spaceflights go commercial.
C. NASA faces lots of risks.
D. SpaceX leads the way in spaceflights.

Finding an outlet for emotion
Finland is fertile (肥沃的) ground for heavy metal music. For every 100,000 people, there are 70 metal bands, according to Medium. Heavy metal’s characteristic aggression and loudness attack listeners with brute (粗暴的) force. 36
The cold and sometimes severe climate has contributed to the population’s interest in heavier forms of rock. “When someone is surrounded by cold and dark for long periods of time, it is only natural that some form of depression will start to set in, the website A Metal State Of Mind noted. 揌ow do many Finns combat the depression, release the negative energy, and make themselves feel more positive? 37
According to Medium, most Finnish people are emotionally restrained (克制的). Whatever emotions — soft or hard — they feel, they keep them inside. “I feel that the emotional introversion (内向性) also has to do with the fact that we often want to keep things private. 38 One has to appear ‘strong’ at all costs,” Ida-Katharina Kiljander, one of the lead singers of the Oulu-based metal band Mournful Lines, told Medium.
39
揟he reason why heavy metal might reflect the Finnish mentality is probably because we are so private that it is difficult to discuss our feelings, but still we need an outlet to deal with these negative emotions, explained Kiljander.
40 Those who tend to keep their emotions inside may find themselves drawn to a medium or genre that allows them to do the opposite something that Finland has made loud and clear with its growing number of heavy metal fans.
A. However, heavy metal music offers a way to express these emotions.
B. Every year, thousands of 搈etalheads gather at Finland抯 many metal festivals, especially during summer.
C. But why does this seemingly extreme form of music thrive in the Nordic country of Finland?
D. It has not been socially acceptable to show great emotions, for example anger or sadness.
E. Just as the Chinese proverb goes, Where you live makes you who you are.
F. Emotional introversion is a form of learned behavior in Finland and the roots go back quite far in history.
G. There is no one form of music more tailored to the release of the negative more than metal.

The research team conducted tests on the effect of 57 (rise) ocean temperatures on the size and number of over 600 species of fish.

Early one weekend morning, I was sleeping like a log when the telephone rang. When I answered I heard my Grandma抯 voice 揌ey, sweetheart. I have missed you so much lately. Why don抰 you come to the countryside and enjoy some fine views? she asked. 揇ad, Grandma is inviting us to her home, I shouted to my father who was busy in the kitchen. 揊ine with me, he responded in a casual tone. After a quick breakfast, we drove to Grandma抯.
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. Seeing my greedy eyes, grandma said 揟ake some when you leave, and I抳e got plenty stored in the cellar (地窖) .” 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 was like a picture painted by one of the Dutch masters. 揑t is so nice to spend some quality time with family, Dad murmured. 揑t feels like we抮e on an adventure, I added. 揑t抯 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!”
There was no time to think. We rowed as fast as we could. __________________________

The novel The Great Gatsby is the representative work of American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald. It is a true reflection of the 1920s and universally acknowledged as a literary classic.
The Great Gatsby shows the tragic story of Gatsby抯 pursuing his dream. He realizes his dream by illegal business. He falls in love with Daisy, who represents a beautiful life. However, in real life, she is far from what Gatsby imagines. She is a selfish and shallow girl and finally leads Gatsby to a sad ending.
In my opinion, the tragedy of Gatsby reflects the theme of the novel the decline of the American dream. But then again, although Gatsby抯 efforts do not pay off, his spirit of struggling to realize his dream and change his fate touches me deeply.

There was no time to think. We rowed as fast as we could. Although I didn’t dare to look,I could feel the tornado getting closer as hail started to fall, hitting the creaky old boat hard. Chased by the relentless nightmare, I couldn't afford to let up for a moment. I didn't even wipe the sweat away as it streamed in my eyes and blurred my view. Finally Grandma's house appeared before my eyes. We jumped out of the boat and ran towards it. Gasping for breath, we buzzed the doorbell again and again.
Grandma opened the door for us. We dripped water on her floor as we went inside, our shoes and clothes soaked through. Grandma said we needed to find a safer place to ride out the tornado, and we followed her into the cellar. Dad helped close off the entrance while I huddled in the dark corner, quivering from the cold and the fear. We stayed down there, waiting for the tornado to pass over us. We didn抰 wait very long, for it was over in a matter of minutes. However, after this experience, I appreciated every day with my family.

M: Yeah, I agree with you. So, could you tell me what I should do?
W: You should take physical exercise regularly. Apart from this, ?you should have a balanced diet.
M: What do you mean by a balanced diet? Please tell me in detail.
W: A balanced diet means taking regular food containing all the necessary ingredients(成分) needed for health in right proportion(比例,占比).
M: I see, both taking physical exercise regularly and eating a balanced diet are very important for good health.
W: Exactly! I hope you will follow both of the rules.

M: There lived a landlord named James Smith in a certain province in Bengal. He had nearly fifty servants to look after his household. One day, ?while the landlord traveled alone for a month, ??one of his servants stole his precious wrist watch kept on his table. The watch was a gift from the King of Mysore. The landlord couldn抰 afford losing it. When the landlord returned, he was mad about not finding his watch at his home. He doubted that one of his servants must have done that. He made a plan. ?He gave each of the servants a stick of equal length saying, “The thief’s stick will grow an inch longer tomorrow”. The thief was full of stress at the thought of getting caught. He cut an inch from the stick that night. The next day, the landlord checked the sticks given to the servants and found one stick was short by an inch. He identified the thief immediately and caught him. The thief got severe punishment.
