An unpleasant smell floated into my nose as the bowl of fried stinky tofu (臭豆腐) settled on to my grandmother’s dinner table. I immediately sat back. The smell ruined my appetite, and I pushed the dish away.
“It’s supposed to stink. Just give it a try!” my grandmother said.
Holding my breath, I unwillingly took a bite. To my surprise, the tofu beneath the fried skin was warm, soft, and mouth-watering. Since then, whenever I visited my grandmother抯 house, I would rush to the kitchen for the stinky tofu with excitement. Thus, stinky tofu became more than a household tradition. It became my favorite dish.
Along with the stinky tofu, I would meet my Uncle Chan on every visit. As an immature boy, I never understood my uncle抯 condition of Down syndrome (唐氏综合征).
He was an unfriendly and terrible creature in my eyes. He constantly walked around the house, talking to himself. Whenever he appeared, I would run away in fear.
However, one day, my view about my uncle suddenly changed. I was just getting out of my bed when I heard soft steps approaching. It was my uncle. My muscles froze. He slowly sat next to me and touched my face gently, as am other would stroke (抚摸) a baby. A wide smile emerged from his blank expression. How beautiful his smile was! I could not help but smile back. My fear disappeared gradually, and my muscles relaxed. For the first time, I could see softness and warmth in his eyes.
My uncle very much resembles stinky tofu. Stinky tofu smells unpleasant on the outside, yet feels warm and soft in the inside. Like stinky tofu, my uncle抯 Down syndrome made me keep my distance at first. Yet, I learned that deep inside, he is harmless and has a loving nature.
Some people tend to look down upon disabled people and regard them as unfit for a regular life. As I was unable to see through the outer surface of the tofu, these people are unable to see through the surface of prejudice (偏见). As a result, they judge the disabled with one glance.
The outside and inside of the stinky tofu exist as two extremely different worlds. Perhaps that is what makes it such a tasty dish. Not only is it delicious, stinky tofu offers a valuable lesson: never judge people at first glance, for true beauty comes from the inside.
4. Why did stinky tofu become the author抯 favorite dish?
A. It was related to family tradition. B. His appetite for food had increased.
C. Grandma encouraged him to try it. D. It turned out to be quite delicious.
5. What did the author think of his uncle at first?
A. He was a quiet person. B. He was a strange creature.
C. He was an immature man. D. He was an energetic guy.
6. The comparison between stinky tofu and the author抯 uncle serves to ________.
A. describe a childhood memory B. analyze the family relationship
C. highlight the nature of Uncle Chan D. introduce a traditional Chinese food
7. What does the author mainly want to tell us in the passage?
A. We shouldn抰 judge a person by his appearance.
B. A person抯 taste changes overtime.
C. Blood is thicker than water.
D. You are what you eat.
C
Whether for a special holiday, as a way of showing gratitude or just a way of letting someone know you care, gift giving is a universal custom Though the purpose may be similar from place to place, traditions vary widely from one country to the next. A behavior that shows respect in one place might be considered offensive somewhere else. Take a look at unique gifting traditions from around the world.
Here in the US, a set of kitchen knives seems like the perfect gift idea for a wedding. However, in certain European countries like Germany, people believe that a knife presented as a gift will cut off your friendship. There is a way to break it: Tie a coin to the knife or gift box. The receiver then returns the coin to you as a 損ayment to remove the bad luck.
There's a well-known Italian wedding tradition where the groom's (新郎) tie is cut into a number of tiny pieces. Wedding guests can then "buy” these tie pieces in exchange for cash. It's a fun way to give money to the new couple that leaves guests with a wedding souvenir.
As left hands are considered unclean in Indian culture, behaviors such as touching, passing money, or giving gifts are to be done with the right hand. Different from some other cultures , an odd number (奇数) of things or currency represents good luck. For example, ?11 should be given rather than ?10.
In Zimbabwe, it is common to directly ask for a gift. When you receive a gift without asking for it, even if the giver's family is poor, it's the worst way to reject the offering. Also, expressing thanks with actions is better than giving thanks orally (口头地).These may include jumping up and down, dancing, or whistling.
8. What does the underlined word offensive in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Rude.
B. Creative.
C. Suitable.
D. Caring.
9. How do people prevent friendship breaking down when giving gifts like knives?
A. The guests cut the groom's tie into pieces.
B. The receiver returns the coin to the giver.
C. The giver gives gifts with the right hand.
D. The receiver expresses thanks by dancing.
10. What can we learn about the gift giving in Zimbabwe?
A. It is not proper to ask for a gift directly.
B. It's better to reject a gift from a poor family.
C. One can express thanks by writing letters.
D. Showing gratitude with actions is better than words.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Way of Showing Gratitude B. A Fun Behavior to Respect People

As COVID-19 continues to spread among humans around the world, conservationists(环境保护主义者)are warning of its possible danger to another group: Africa's endangered mountain gorillas(大猩猩). Congo's Virunga National Park is home to about 30 percent of the world's mountain gorillas.
The park is closed until June 1 because scientists believe the gorillas may be able to catch COVID-19. Mountain gorillas can get some diseases that humans get. A simple cold can kill a gorilla,says the Worldwide Fund for Nature. That is why park visitors are not allowed to get too close to gorillas. Rules call for a 7-meter distance between gorillas and humans.
Conservationists have welcomed the decision. Paula Kahumbu leads the Kenya-based conservation group WildlifeDirect. She says that 揺very possible effort must be made to protect mountain gorillas because so few are left in the wild.
Gladys Kalema-Zikusoka is the leader of the Uganda-based Conservation Through Public Health. She noted a study done this year by her organization and Ohio University. She said the study showed that the rule separating gorillas and tourists was not effective.
Kalema-Zikusoka said the study showed that the seven-meter rule was useless almost every time a group of visitors entered the park. She said visitors were responsible for that about sixty percent of the time. In the other cases, it was the gorillas that moved too close to the humans.
Uganda has not announced a shutdown of gorilla park tourism. However, the number of visitors from Europe and other places has sharply reduced.
Mountain gorillas have been listed as endangered since 1996.But their population is now growing. Tourism brings much foreign money into Rwanda and Uganda. The money got from tourism is important in efforts to protect mountain gorillas. Officials can use it to help local communities. Some observers worry a fall in tourism during the COVID-19 crisis(危机)could endanger gorillas.
12. Why is the Congo's Virunga National Park closed?
A. Because scientists have made some new rules.
B. Because scientists think gorillas may get COVID-19
C. Because there are no tourists during the COVID-19 crisis.
D. Because there is no money to run it.
13. According to the text,Kalema-Zikusoka thinks.
A. the 7-meter rule is useful
B. the visitors are breaking the rule all the time
C. we can not separate gorillas and tourists effectively
D. every possible effort must be made to protect the gorillas
14. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. The money from tourism has a great effect on the protection of gorillas.
B. The money from tourism could endanger gorillas in Africa.
C. The number of gorillas is getting smaller in Rwanda an Uganda.
D. Gorillas could easily catch COVID-19 in Rwanda and Uganda.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Gorillas Are in Danger B. COVID-19 Affects the Tourism
C. The Outbreak of COVID-19 D. COVID-19 Could Endanger Gorillas

Losing focus can be a result of a distracting (让人分心的) environment, not preparing yourself mentally for your work. Luckily, focusing is something we can learn and practice. It may take time to build up your focusing ability, but through repeating focusing skills, you can take back control of your own mind and become more effective.
____16____
First, you can prepare by writing out your to-do list the night before. ____17____ For example, instead of simply writing down 搒tudy Spanish," write down something like "remember 20 Spanish words. " This way, when it comes time to actually focus, you won't need to spend any time wondering what you need to do. You'll know the specific task you need to achieve, and you'll be able to get straight to work.
____18____ Poor sleep can make it extremely difficult to achieve anything. Your mind doesn't have the energy it needs for intense (紧张的) periods of focus. If you really have to focus on a project even though you don't sleep well, try taking 10-minute naps in-between tasks so you can start to regain some of your energy.
Right before getting to work, take a few minutes to do some breathing exercises, and look over your to-do list. ____19____ Thinking over all your tasks and imagining completing each one can make getting started much easier.
Perhaps most importantly: turn your phone off and put it in another room or in a drawer somewhere you can't see it. ____20____ Like they always say: 揙ut of sight, out of mind.
A. Next, make sure you get enough sleep.
B. Make sure this list is as specific as possible
C. Prepare yourself mentally right before you start working.
D. Finally, remember that hours of focused work is an- unrealistic goal.
E. In fact, there are many simple things you can do right away to start seeing results.
F. Removing it from your space will help a lot when it comes to focusing on the task.
G. It can also be helpful to change your workspace in order to stimulate (刺激) your brain.

The park is closed until June 1 because scientists believe the gorillas may be able to catch COVID-19. Mountain gorillas can get some diseases that humans get. A simple cold can kill a gorilla,says the Worldwide Fund for Nature. That is why park visitors are not allowed to get too close to gorillas. Rules call for a 7-meter distance between gorillas and humans.
Conservationists have welcomed the decision. Paula Kahumbu leads the Kenya-based conservation group WildlifeDirect. She says that 揺very possible effort must be made to protect mountain gorillas because so few are left in the wild.
Gladys Kalema-Zikusoka is the leader of the Uganda-based Conservation Through Public Health. She noted a study done this year by her organization and Ohio University. She said the study showed that the rule separating gorillas and tourists was not effective.
Kalema-Zikusoka said the study showed that the seven-meter rule was useless almost every time a group of visitors entered the park. She said visitors were responsible for that about sixty percent of the time. In the other cases, it was the gorillas that moved too close to the humans.
Uganda has not announced a shutdown of gorilla park tourism. However, the number of visitors from Europe and other places has sharply reduced.
Mountain gorillas have been listed as endangered since 1996.But their population is now growing. Tourism brings much foreign money into Rwanda and Uganda. The money got from tourism is important in efforts to protect mountain gorillas. Officials can use it to help local communities. Some observers worry a fall in tourism during the COVID-19 crisis(危机)could endanger gorillas.
12. Why is the Congo's Virunga National Park closed?
A. Because scientists have made some new rules.
B. Because scientists think gorillas may get COVID-19
C. Because there are no tourists during the COVID-19 crisis.
D. Because there is no money to run it.
13. According to the text,Kalema-Zikusoka thinks.
A. the 7-meter rule is useful
B. the visitors are breaking the rule all the time
C. we can not separate gorillas and tourists effectively
D. every possible effort must be made to protect the gorillas
14. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. The money from tourism has a great effect on the protection of gorillas.
B. The money from tourism could endanger gorillas in Africa.
C. The number of gorillas is getting smaller in Rwanda an Uganda.
D. Gorillas could easily catch COVID-19 in Rwanda and Uganda.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Gorillas Are in Danger B. COVID-19 Affects the Tourism
C. The Outbreak of COVID-19 D. COVID-19 Could Endanger Gorillas
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D

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。
Losing focus can be a result of a distracting (让人分心的) environment, not preparing yourself mentally for your work. Luckily, focusing is something we can learn and practice. It may take time to build up your focusing ability, but through repeating focusing skills, you can take back control of your own mind and become more effective.
____16____
First, you can prepare by writing out your to-do list the night before. ____17____ For example, instead of simply writing down “study Spanish," write down something like "remember 20 Spanish words. " This way, when it comes time to actually focus, you won't need to spend any time wondering what you need to do. You'll know the specific task you need to achieve, and you'll be able to get straight to work.
____18____ Poor sleep can make it extremely difficult to achieve anything. Your mind doesn't have the energy it needs for intense (紧张的) periods of focus. If you really have to focus on a project even though you don't sleep well, try taking 10-minute naps in-between tasks so you can start to regain some of your energy.
Right before getting to work, take a few minutes to do some breathing exercises, and look over your to-do list. ____19____ Thinking over all your tasks and imagining completing each one can make getting started much easier.
Perhaps most importantly: turn your phone off and put it in another room or in a drawer somewhere you can't see it. ____20____ Like they always say: “Out of sight, out of mind.”
A. Next, make sure you get enough sleep.
B. Make sure this list is as specific as possible
C. Prepare yourself mentally right before you start working.
D. Finally, remember that hours of focused work is an- unrealistic goal.
E. In fact, there are many simple things you can do right away to start seeing results.
F. Removing it from your space will help a lot when it comes to focusing on the task.
G. It can also be helpful to change your workspace in order to stimulate (刺激) your brain.

I would be grateful if you could give me an opportunity. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
