I went out to breakfast this morning to meet a friend. Everything was lovely. But what wasn抰 so lovely was the lady who took our order. She spoke in a way that was frustrated, unhappy, certainly not friendly, and sort of rude.
When it came to my turn to approach her and order. I thought to myself, 揥hat can I do here to make her day? Surely there must be something I can sincerely compliment (称赞) her on. Then there it was and I knew instantly. Or more so heard instantly. It was her voice. She had the most unbelievably well-spoken and clear voice. It was so good. That was it. That was what I would compliment her on.
So after she took my order and gave me the same unfriendly attitude I told her. 揑 hope you don't mind me saying but you have the most amazing voice. It's so clear, well-spoken and sounds so professional. I told her how she honestly had one of those voices that would be perfect for announcements or even radio. Her whole face lit up. She smiled（the first time I had seen her do so）and as I left and walked away, I noticed her whole attitude change. The customer behind me received a totally different kind of service. A happier one. All because of what I did. Something so simple!
There was a time when this sort of thing would have embarrassed the hell out of me. Or I抎 have been way too shy and awkward to say such a thing. Not now. Now I must! Why? Because I have the power. The power to completely change someone抯 day by something as simple as a few kind words and being kind. And you have this power too. We all do.
24. What made the author uncomfortable this morning?
A. The rudeness of the friend.
B. The way the lady taking the order spoke.
C. The poor quality of the food.
D. The noise of customers who ate in the restaurant.
25. Why did the author want to compliment the lady on her voice?
A. To make friends with her.
B. To make her cheerful.
C. To receive her good service.
D. To persuade her to work in radio.
26. How did the lady react to the author抯 words?
A. She changed her attitude towards customers.
B. She felt annoyed and walked away.
C. She applied for a radio announcer.
D. She paid no attention to the words.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. An Unkind Lady
B. The Amazing Voice
C. The Power of Kindness
D. A Great Change in My Day
C
? Student loan (贷款) debt has become a worldwide problem. In America, the country’s overall student debt reached a record of $1.6 trillion in 2019. The average person with student loan debt owed between $20,000 and $25,000. A recent Japanese government report says it has been lending over $9 billion yearly to students since 2010. Similar conditions exist in Africa and South America.
Several factors account for high student loan debt. One is that employers everywhere have increased their demands for skilled workers, making higher education a requirement for many jobs. The students, however, after graduation, often find that their country's economy is not strong enough to support their financial needs, so their ability to pay back the loan becomes a problem.
To solve the problem, many countries are seeking their ways. Australia has developed a system where students do not have to pay anything back until they are earning at least $40,000 a year. In America, several candidates running for president in the 2020 election have offered more extreme solutions that all or at least some of these loans will be forgiven.
Some professors in several universities recently studied what the effects of debt forgiveness might be. They found that, overall, sudden debt relief greatly improved the borrowers' lives. Not only did they have more money, but they were more likely to move to a new area and seek better paying work.
Yet the professors research doesn抰 include what might happen to financial institutions or the overall economy if debt were totally forgiven. It only looks at how debt forgiveness would help the borrowers. They warn of some other possible negative effects. If a borrower knew that if he ran into any trouble he would be saved because he could get the debt relief, then he might actually become more reckless (轻率的) with his borrowing in the future.
? ? No matter what, the professors agree that if countries do decide to approve some student debt relief the neediest students should be helped first.
28. How does the author introduce the problem of student loan?
A. By making a comparison.
B. By making classifications.
C. By setting down general rules.
D. By presenting some statistics.
29. What can we learn about student loan debt relief?
A. It has already been carried out in the United States.
B. It will surely provide some benefits to borrowers.
C. It aims to encourage more students to borrow money.
D. It will prevent a person from landing a well-paying job.
30. What is the professors attitude to debt forgiveness?
A. Uncaring. B. Positive. C. Disapproving. D. Cautious.
31. What抯 the main idea of the text?
A. Growing global student debt fuels search for solutions.
B. Student loan debt is the most serious problem worldwide.
C. Student loan debt tends to pull the needy out of trouble.
D. People hold different opinions on debt forgiveness.
D
One of the most dangerous insects you need to watch out for during summer is mosquitoes. But no matter how you try to avoid them, some people naturally attract mosquitoes more than others.
?? ?One of the most important facts to remember is that mosquitoes track people down by smell and body odour (气味), according to Bart Knols, PhD, a biologist devoted to the study of mosquitoes. The carbon dioxide people breathe out, along with chemicals from the skin, creates an 搊dour plume that mosquitoes can detect from up to almost 100 feet away. 揈ach person gives off more than 300 chemicals from the skin, more than 100 in breathing out, Knols says.
牋 The specific mixtures on the skin that mosquitoes respond to vary by species. The yellow fever mosquito and Asian tiger mosquito, for example, respond well to lactic acid from skin. African malaria mosquitoes respond to a mix of fatty acids, according to Knols. Your individual mixtures and smells determine how much of a mosquito attraction you are，depending on the mosquito species. The mix of chemicals you produce are only partly in your control. These chemicals depend on your genetic make-up，health condition，diet，skin pH，and so on. “Bacteria (细菌)on the skin break down the mixtures that we give off through our pores (毛孔), and these are the attractive smells,” Knols says. “So it is not actually we that attract mosquitoes, but the bacteria on our skin.”
??? Although this is a complex and partly understood phenomenon，Knols says that we do all have a unique smell. There are many folk stories about why some people are more or less attractive to mosquitoes. Some people falsely think the blood type is the cause, and others believe taking vitamin B or eating garlic makes people less attractive to mosquitoes-but Knols notes there抯 no scientific data backing these claims.
32. What do we learn from the second paragraph？______
A. Nobody can avoid mosquitoes anyway.
B. Mosquitoes can detect people with smell.
C. A person breathes out over 300 chemicals.
D. People naturally attract mosquitoes.
33. Why does the author take several kinds of mosquitoes for example？______
A. To persuade readers to protect the environment.
B. To warn people against touching mosquitoes.
C. To make people look out for poisonous mosquitoes.
D. To show different mosquitoes react to mixtures.
34. What draws mosquitoes according to Bart Knols？______
A. Chemicals in the mouth.
B. Mixtures people give off.
C. Bacteria on the skin.
D. Smells from the pores.
35. What is the best title for the text？______
A. Folk Stories about How Mosquitoes Attack People
B. The Scientific Reason You Are a Mosquito Attraction
C. Attitudes toward Mosquitoes Different People Have
D. Ways to Make People More and More Attractive

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It’s Alarming: What Wakes You Up Each Morning？
How do you wake up in the morning? If you set an alarm on your phone or clock that sounds like this: beep beep beep? 36 Sleep inertia is another term for grogginess (昏睡), which means a person has a heavy feeling when waking up, and has trouble getting moving again after sleeping.
牋 37 A recent study says yes. The answer is music. Researchers say alarms that have a melody-like the beginning of this song-can help people feel fresher in the morning.
牋 The study, carried out by researchers in Australia， involved 50 people. The study subjects answered questions about the alarm sound they like to wake up to, how they feel about that sound and how they feel when they wake up. 38 However, it is early days and more work is needed to fully know the answer.
牋 So, what makes musical alarms better for waking up? The researchers think the music may be more successful in reducing grogginess because it has several tones, compared to the single tone of a 揵eeping alarm. 39 And is there a kind of music that is best to wake up to? There may be. 40 . However, no matter how you wake up, experts say, the amount of sleep you get also matters a lot.
A. Can musical alarms work wonders？
B. Alarm sounds that are tune full and easy to hum or sing along with may be good choices.
C. This can help you fall asleep more quickly and easily.
D. So, is there a better way to do the trick？
E. That hard, unpleasant sound may be making it harder to shake off the sleepy feeling in the morning known as grogginess.
F. The researchers found that people who wake up to musical alarms reported feeling more awake and alert.
G. The changes over time between the music tones may help increase a person's attention when waking from sleep.

Two years ago, my friend and I were at college. With his birthday quickly approaching , he came to me with an unusual 41 :instead of receiving presents, he wanted to do some acts of kindness.
I was 42 with such all idea. Giving instead of taking for the birthday was really different. I asked him how he could come up with such a 43 idea. He told me about a TED talk he had watched on generosity, which had inspired him. So we started to 44 creative things we could do.
Our university employed some security guards to 45 its students. They have to work 46 , keeping watch on every corner throughout the university. For the most part it抯 a thankless job as most people grow 47 to seeing the guards all around and eventually barely notice their 48 , let alone acknowledge their efforts. How could we show them our appreciation?
We decided to make a large pot of hot 49 .We hired a Uber and asked the driver to take us around the campus where we knew the 50 would be and we poured them each a cup of hot chocolate. The Uber driver was 51 a bit doubtful to the entire plan but after a while he was helping us 52 the guards and our lively spirit had 53 to him as well. We were met with many 54 and appreciative words. It was amazing to see how a 55 act or even intention of generosity can lift everyone抯 spirit.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Lullabies (摇篮曲) bring mom and kids together. As the COVID-19 pandemic began changing life globally, physical distancing 56 (particular) changed the way we connect. At present, nearly 70 percent of health workers worldwide 57 (make) up of women. Apart from looking after the patients, they also face the challenge of how best to care 58 their own families. Among them is Elizabeth Streeter, 59 works as a nurse on the COVID-19 floor of her hospital in Massachusetts.
She made a difficult decision 60 (stay) away from her three boys in early April last year, to avoid 61 (expose) them to the virus. During the evenings, Elizabeth connected with her kids by phone and sang their favorite lullabies while fighting through tears. For the young mother, ensuring her children’s 62 (safe) meant being physically present. However, so far, living away from her children 63 (become) her way of keeping them safe. “It looks entirely different than 64 I always thought protection looked like,” She said, “Anyway, lullabies work very well.”
These songs remind us that we are not alone in this seemingly 65 (end) fight against the disease, and in the dark of night, they seem to hold a promise on the other side awaiting the light of morning.

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。续写的词数应为150左右。
I couldn’t even sort through the first box of our dog Bama’s toys without bursting into tears. My husband, Alan, found me sitting on the floor, holding our dog's favorite toy. He gently pulled me to my feet. “It’s okay, Lisa,” he said. “I’ll put these away. Why don’t you go outside and get some air?”
I nodded.
It had been a few months since our beloved Bama had passed away. Alan and I didn’t have children. Our boxer (拳师犬) was our baby. After Bama’s death, we couldn’t bring ourselves to go through his toys to decide what to keep. I told myself I’d do it when I was ready. Apparently, I still wasn’t.
Now I sat on my front porch (门廊) and sobbed. Friends and family had suggested we get another dog, but Alan and I dismissed the idea. We couldn't go through that kind of heartbreak again.
I gazed out over the yard. Across the street was a dog. A boxer. Was he real or just my wishful imagination? I blinked. The boxer was still there. We locked eyes. He came across the street, straight toward me. Hesitantly, I offered my hand. He sniffed it eagerly then he licked (舔) me. I let out a surprised laugh. He pushed his head into my lap to be petted.
This dog was younger than Bama, smaller. He was well—fed and well—dressed. He wore a collar but had no ID. I knew he must belong to someone in the neighborhood, but I'd never seen another boxer around. I would have remembered if I had.
“Where did you come from? “I asked the dog, scratching him behind the ears.
He just sat there at ease. He didn't seem lost. Just as if he were dropping by for a visit.
“Alan!” I called. “You have to come to see this!”
Alan joined me, and we sat together in surprise for a moment. Then the boxer got up and slowly ran off.

paragraph1:
The next day, there was a strange scratching at the door. I opened it and found my unexpected guest—the mystery boxer, who seemed to still remember me. He came over lightly and licked my hand, as if trying to erase my painful memories. Seeing him follow me from room to room, I gradually felt the ache in my heart lessen. I suddenly realized that I could pass Bama’s favorite toys to my guest. So each day I would stand at the front door, waiting for the happy moment when my guest came and played with the toys.
paragraph2:
A week later, a young man I’d never seen before came in to visit. The man said his family had just moved to the neighborhood. He asked me if I happened to see a dog, a boxer recently. I said “Yes” and told him actually “my guest” had been paying me regular visits. He looked embarrassed and then apologized for the trouble his cutie caused for me. I told him there is no need to apologize and actually he was a big help in working through my grief. It has been three years since that day. Now Bama’s toys don't just sit in the room, gathering dust.

I went out to breakfast this morning to meet a friend. Everything was lovely. But what wasn抰 so lovely was the lady who took our order. She spoke in a way that was frustrated, unhappy, certainly not friendly, and sort of rude.
When it came to my turn to approach her and order. I thought to myself, 揥hat can I do here to make her day? Surely there must be something I can sincerely compliment (称赞) her on. Then there it was and I knew instantly. Or more so heard instantly. It was her voice. She had the most unbelievably well-spoken and clear voice. It was so good. That was it. That was what I would compliment her on.
So after she took my order and gave me the same unfriendly attitude I told her. 揑 hope you don't mind me saying but you have the most amazing voice. It's so clear, well-spoken and sounds so professional. I told her how she honestly had one of those voices that would be perfect for announcements or even radio. Her whole face lit up. She smiled（the first time I had seen her do so）and as I left and walked away, I noticed her whole attitude change. The customer behind me received a totally different kind of service. A happier one. All because of what I did. Something so simple!
There was a time when this sort of thing would have embarrassed the hell out of me. Or I抎 have been way too shy and awkward to say such a thing. Not now. Now I must! Why? Because I have the power. The power to completely change someone抯 day by something as simple as a few kind words and being kind. And you have this power too. We all do.
24. What made the author uncomfortable this morning?
A. The rudeness of the friend.
B. The way the lady taking the order spoke.
C. The poor quality of the food.
D. The noise of customers who ate in the restaurant.
25. Why did the author want to compliment the lady on her voice?
A. To make friends with her.
B. To make her cheerful.
C. To receive her good service.
D. To persuade her to work in radio.
26. How did the lady react to the author抯 words?
A. She changed her attitude towards customers.
B. She felt annoyed and walked away.
C. She applied for a radio announcer.
D. She paid no attention to the words.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. An Unkind Lady
B. The Amazing Voice
C. The Power of Kindness
D. A Great Change in My Day

? Student loan (贷款) debt has become a worldwide problem. In America, the country’s overall student debt reached a record of $1.6 trillion in 2019. The average person with student loan debt owed between $20,000 and $25,000. A recent Japanese government report says it has been lending over $9 billion yearly to students since 2010. Similar conditions exist in Africa and South America.
Several factors account for high student loan debt. One is that employers everywhere have increased their demands for skilled workers, making higher education a requirement for many jobs. The students, however, after graduation, often find that their country's economy is not strong enough to support their financial needs, so their ability to pay back the loan becomes a problem.
To solve the problem, many countries are seeking their ways. Australia has developed a system where students do not have to pay anything back until they are earning at least $40,000 a year. In America, several candidates running for president in the 2020 election have offered more extreme solutions that all or at least some of these loans will be forgiven.
Some professors in several universities recently studied what the effects of debt forgiveness might be. They found that, overall, sudden debt relief greatly improved the borrowers' lives. Not only did they have more money, but they were more likely to move to a new area and seek better paying work.
Yet the professors research doesn抰 include what might happen to financial institutions or the overall economy if debt were totally forgiven. It only looks at how debt forgiveness would help the borrowers. They warn of some other possible negative effects. If a borrower knew that if he ran into any trouble he would be saved because he could get the debt relief, then he might actually become more reckless (轻率的) with his borrowing in the future.
? ? No matter what, the professors agree that if countries do decide to approve some student debt relief the neediest students should be helped first.
28. How does the author introduce the problem of student loan?
A. By making a comparison.
B. By making classifications.
C. By setting down general rules.
D. By presenting some statistics.
29. What can we learn about student loan debt relief?
A. It has already been carried out in the United States.
B. It will surely provide some benefits to borrowers.
C. It aims to encourage more students to borrow money.
D. It will prevent a person from landing a well-paying job.
30. What is the professors attitude to debt forgiveness?
A. Uncaring. B. Positive. C. Disapproving. D. Cautious.
31. What抯 the main idea of the text?
A. Growing global student debt fuels search for solutions.
B. Student loan debt is the most serious problem worldwide.
C. Student loan debt tends to pull the needy out of trouble.
D. People hold different opinions on debt forgiveness.
D
One of the most dangerous insects you need to watch out for during summer is mosquitoes. But no matter how you try to avoid them, some people naturally attract mosquitoes more than others.
?? ?One of the most important facts to remember is that mosquitoes track people down by smell and body odour (气味), according to Bart Knols, PhD, a biologist devoted to the study of mosquitoes. The carbon dioxide people breathe out, along with chemicals from the skin, creates an 搊dour plume that mosquitoes can detect from up to almost 100 feet away. 揈ach person gives off more than 300 chemicals from the skin, more than 100 in breathing out, Knols says.
牋 The specific mixtures on the skin that mosquitoes respond to vary by species. The yellow fever mosquito and Asian tiger mosquito, for example, respond well to lactic acid from skin. African malaria mosquitoes respond to a mix of fatty acids, according to Knols. Your individual mixtures and smells determine how much of a mosquito attraction you are，depending on the mosquito species. The mix of chemicals you produce are only partly in your control. These chemicals depend on your genetic make-up，health condition，diet，skin pH，and so on. “Bacteria (细菌)on the skin break down the mixtures that we give off through our pores (毛孔), and these are the attractive smells,” Knols says. “So it is not actually we that attract mosquitoes, but the bacteria on our skin.”
??? Although this is a complex and partly understood phenomenon，Knols says that we do all have a unique smell. There are many folk stories about why some people are more or less attractive to mosquitoes. Some people falsely think the blood type is the cause, and others believe taking vitamin B or eating garlic makes people less attractive to mosquitoes-but Knols notes there抯 no scientific data backing these claims.
32. What do we learn from the second paragraph？______
A. Nobody can avoid mosquitoes anyway.
B. Mosquitoes can detect people with smell.
C. A person breathes out over 300 chemicals.
D. People naturally attract mosquitoes.
33. Why does the author take several kinds of mosquitoes for example？______
A. To persuade readers to protect the environment.
B. To warn people against touching mosquitoes.
C. To make people look out for poisonous mosquitoes.
D. To show different mosquitoes react to mixtures.
34. What draws mosquitoes according to Bart Knols？______
A. Chemicals in the mouth.
B. Mixtures people give off.
C. Bacteria on the skin.
D. Smells from the pores.
35. What is the best title for the text？______
A. Folk Stories about How Mosquitoes Attack People
B. The Scientific Reason You Are a Mosquito Attraction
C. Attitudes toward Mosquitoes Different People Have
D. Ways to Make People More and More Attractive

It’s Alarming: What Wakes You Up Each Morning？
How do you wake up in the morning? If you set an alarm on your phone or clock that sounds like this: beep beep beep? 36 Sleep inertia is another term for grogginess (昏睡), which means a person has a heavy feeling when waking up, and has trouble getting moving again after sleeping.
牋 37 A recent study says yes. The answer is music. Researchers say alarms that have a melody-like the beginning of this song-can help people feel fresher in the morning.
牋 The study, carried out by researchers in Australia， involved 50 people. The study subjects answered questions about the alarm sound they like to wake up to, how they feel about that sound and how they feel when they wake up. 38 However, it is early days and more work is needed to fully know the answer.
牋 So, what makes musical alarms better for waking up? The researchers think the music may be more successful in reducing grogginess because it has several tones, compared to the single tone of a 揵eeping alarm. 39 And is there a kind of music that is best to wake up to? There may be. 40 . However, no matter how you wake up, experts say, the amount of sleep you get also matters a lot.
A. Can musical alarms work wonders？
B. Alarm sounds that are tune full and easy to hum or sing along with may be good choices.
C. This can help you fall asleep more quickly and easily.
D. So, is there a better way to do the trick？
E. That hard, unpleasant sound may be making it harder to shake off the sleepy feeling in the morning known as grogginess.
F. The researchers found that people who wake up to musical alarms reported feeling more awake and alert.
G. The changes over time between the music tones may help increase a person's attention when waking from sleep.

Two years ago, my friend and I were at college. With his birthday quickly approaching , he came to me with an unusual 41 :instead of receiving presents, he wanted to do some acts of kindness.
I was 42 with such all idea. Giving instead of taking for the birthday was really different. I asked him how he could come up with such a 43 idea. He told me about a TED talk he had watched on generosity, which had inspired him. So we started to 44 creative things we could do.
Our university employed some security guards to 45 its students. They have to work 46 , keeping watch on every corner throughout the university. For the most part it抯 a thankless job as most people grow 47 to seeing the guards all around and eventually barely notice their 48 , let alone acknowledge their efforts. How could we show them our appreciation?
We decided to make a large pot of hot 49 .We hired a Uber and asked the driver to take us around the campus where we knew the 50 would be and we poured them each a cup of hot chocolate. The Uber driver was 51 a bit doubtful to the entire plan but after a while he was helping us 52 the guards and our lively spirit had 53 to him as well. We were met with many 54 and appreciative words. It was amazing to see how a 55 act or even intention of generosity can lift everyone抯 spirit.

Lullabies (摇篮曲) bring mom and kids together. As the COVID-19 pandemic began changing life globally, physical distancing 56 (particular) changed the way we connect. At present, nearly 70 percent of health workers worldwide 57 (make) up of women. Apart from looking after the patients, they also face the challenge of how best to care 58 their own families. Among them is Elizabeth Streeter, 59 works as a nurse on the COVID-19 floor of her hospital in Massachusetts.
She made a difficult decision 60 (stay) away from her three boys in early April last year, to avoid 61 (expose) them to the virus. During the evenings, Elizabeth connected with her kids by phone and sang their favorite lullabies while fighting through tears. For the young mother, ensuring her children’s 62 (safe) meant being physically present. However, so far, living away from her children 63 (become) her way of keeping them safe. “It looks entirely different than 64 I always thought protection looked like,” She said, “Anyway, lullabies work very well.”
These songs remind us that we are not alone in this seemingly 65 (end) fight against the disease, and in the dark of night, they seem to hold a promise on the other side awaiting the light of morning.

I couldn’t even sort through the first box of our dog Bama’s toys without bursting into tears. My husband, Alan, found me sitting on the floor, holding our dog's favorite toy. He gently pulled me to my feet. “It’s okay, Lisa,” he said. “I’ll put these away. Why don’t you go outside and get some air?”
I nodded.
It had been a few months since our beloved Bama had passed away. Alan and I didn’t have children. Our boxer (拳师犬) was our baby. After Bama’s death, we couldn’t bring ourselves to go through his toys to decide what to keep. I told myself I’d do it when I was ready. Apparently, I still wasn’t.
Now I sat on my front porch (门廊) and sobbed. Friends and family had suggested we get another dog, but Alan and I dismissed the idea. We couldn't go through that kind of heartbreak again.
I gazed out over the yard. Across the street was a dog. A boxer. Was he real or just my wishful imagination? I blinked. The boxer was still there. We locked eyes. He came across the street, straight toward me. Hesitantly, I offered my hand. He sniffed it eagerly then he licked (舔) me. I let out a surprised laugh. He pushed his head into my lap to be petted.
This dog was younger than Bama, smaller. He was well—fed and well—dressed. He wore a collar but had no ID. I knew he must belong to someone in the neighborhood, but I'd never seen another boxer around. I would have remembered if I had.
“Where did you come from? “I asked the dog, scratching him behind the ears.
He just sat there at ease. He didn't seem lost. Just as if he were dropping by for a visit.
“Alan!” I called. “You have to come to see this!”
Alan joined me, and we sat together in surprise for a moment. Then the boxer got up and slowly ran off.

paragraph1:
The next day, there was a strange scratching at the door. I opened it and found my unexpected guest—the mystery boxer, who seemed to still remember me. He came over lightly and licked my hand, as if trying to erase my painful memories. Seeing him follow me from room to room, I gradually felt the ache in my heart lessen. I suddenly realized that I could pass Bama’s favorite toys to my guest. So each day I would stand at the front door, waiting for the happy moment when my guest came and played with the toys.
paragraph2:
A week later, a young man I’d never seen before came in to visit. The man said his family had just moved to the neighborhood. He asked me if I happened to see a dog, a boxer recently. I said “Yes” and told him actually “my guest” had been paying me regular visits. He looked embarrassed and then apologized for the trouble his cutie caused for me. I told him there is no need to apologize and actually he was a big help in working through my grief. It has been three years since that day. Now Bama’s toys don't just sit in the room, gathering dust.
