26、   Youth volunteers from Beijing University visited Songtang Hospital,a care clinic for the aged and dying patients,during the second Global Youth Service Day on April 21.

Thirty student volunteers from the university’s School of International Studies sat at the beds of the patients in their specially-decorated“care huts”.They talked with them and gave massages（按摩）to patients kept in their beds.

“I felt sorry that I could not offer more to these people than talking with them and trying to cheer them up.”said Deng Yetao,20,a third-year student.“But it occurred to me that they need more care and love than babies.They are afraid of the coming death.Their loneliness is worse than physical pains.”

“Even though they are suffering a lot,the majority of the elderly people want to talk to us.Each of them has a lot of life experiences and philosophies to share.Instead of doing them a favor,I felt I was benefited a lot,”said Mao Xiaohua,another third-year student.

Mao talked with two elderly patients for a whole afternoon.The fact that most of the patients in the 80-room clinic are aged people with diseases what will lead to death soon made the volunteers’hearts heavy.

Ninety-one percent of the patients will spend the last days of their lives in the clinic,according to a survey by the hospital.For people at this stage of their lives,loneliness is even more dreadful than death itself,”said Li Wei,president of the hospital.

Daily visits and services by social workers and youth volunteers are a very important part of their programmer.A total of 330,000 Beijing students from 119 universities and colleges have visited the hospital.Many continue to offer services in their spare time.They showered them with kindnesses.Some of them even volunteer to hold the hands of dying patients during the last minutes of their lives.

Yin Hang,a student from Beijing Medical College,said he felt“the glory of life”as he saw the fading smile on the face of the old man who passed into a deep unconsciousness while he was holding his hands.

27、Organic food is very popular. It is also expensive. Some organic food costs twice as much as non-organic food, but new parents and pet owners are willing to pay up to 200% more for organic food. However, there are people who think it is a waste of money.

There is one main difference between organic and non-organic food. Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals, such as pesticides. In many countries organic foods have special labels. These guarantee that the products are natural.

Some people think organic means locally grown. Originally this was true. Over time organic farming became more difficult. The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply. Small companies had to sell out to large companies. There weren't enough organic ingredients, such as grain and cattle. This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business. Today, many large companies have an organic line of products.

Is organic food more nutritious? This is part of the debate. Many farmers and consumers believe it is. They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems such as cancer. Many health professionals disagree. Few studies prove that organic foods prevent health problems. Health specialists worry more about bacteria, such as E.coli and salmonella. These can get into contact with organic and non- organic food. Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully. Handling meat carefully is important too.

Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better. Is tastier food worth the extra money? This is a matter of opinion. Whether it is healthier or not may require more research. However, organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry.

【1】What is probably the major concern of organic food consumers?

A．Price.

B．Safety.

C．Freshness.

D．Variety.

【2】What is the doctors’ suggestion?

A．Grow your own food.

B．Reduce the use of pesticides.

C．Make sure the food is clean.

D．Buy large companies’ products.

【3】Which of the following do most people agree on organic food?

A．It tastes better.

B．It is easier to grow.

C．It contains more fat.

D．It is more nutritious.

【4】Where does this text probably come from?

A．A recipe book.

B．A chemistry paper.

C．A medical report.

D．A health magazine.

28、Time and money are life's most valuable resources. One of the great laws of economics is that time equals money. The phrase “time is money“ is usually credited to Benjamin Franklin, who used it in an essay, Advice to a Young Tradesman, 1748.【1】 He encouraged people to treat time like money. However, most people think about time and money in vastly different ways.

【2】 Poor or rich, we all have 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Thus, each of us faces the choice of how to spend our time. In a world of scarcity, choosing one thing means not being able to do something else.

The value of time varies from person to person. Time is relatively scarce for people with higher incomes, partly because their time is more valuable. So, to have lots of time, rich people hire other people to do their household chores. 【3】

Time cannot be stored. One of the reasons we give little thought about how we use our limited resources is that we cannot save time. 【4】 You can’t bottle time and exchange it for an object or event. However, when people are made aware of their mortality they wonder if they did make the most of their lives.

In sum, time is anything but free. As a non-renewable resource, time is quite expensive. 【5】 Do we want to spend these precious moments on social media or spend that time learning something new? Skills and knowledge take time, so the more time you spend on them, the more you improve.

A．Time is our scarcest resource.

B．It means time is a valuable resource.

C．However, it cannot be bought at any price.

D．Time moves on whether we choose to spend it or not

E．Actually, time and money are greatly different from each other.

F．However, a non-working person may spend more time on household chores.

G．Knowing that time is limited encourages us to ask how we are using our time.

29、   The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is mostly a desert. However, this has not stopped the country from creating great building projects. On September 26, UAE officials announced another ambitious project — Mars Science City. Expansive deserts and miles of coastline provide plenty of options for safe rocket launches (发射). And its position on the Earth makes it especially appealing as the spin of the Earth provides an extra push, meaning less fuel is needed to get payloads into orbit. All these seem to make it possible.

The Mars City Project, designed by Bjarke Ingels Group, or BIG, will provide a realistic model to simulate (模仿) living on the surface of Mars, the red planet. It is part of the UAE’s Mars 2117 Project to lead the global race to land humans on Mars and be the first to build a settlement there. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Prime Minister and ruler of Dubai, says, “The UAE seeks international support to develop technologies that benefit humans, and lay the foundation of a better future for more generations to come.”

Built outside Dubai, the 1.9 million square feet city is expected to cost $135 million. It will consist of several dome-shaped laboratories, similar to the ones imagined for the first Mars settlers. Scientists from around the word will be invited to conduct research to come up with methods to create food, water and energy, using techniques which can be copied onto the red planet. The living spaces, where the researchers can live for up to a year, will simulate the planet’s conditions as much as possible.

The research city will also include a museum featuring famous space achievements to help educate and inspire children to undertake space exploration and discovery. To discover whether the construction method works on Mars, the museum’s walls will be 3D printed using the sand from the nearby desert. Now, if they would only add some living quarters for the general public to experience life on Mars without leaving Earth, life would be perfect.

【1】What can we conclude about the United Arab Emirates?

A.It is short of fine weather.

B.It is a nice place for launching.

C.It can provide adequate fuel supply.

D.It has the greatest architects in the world.

【2】What will scientists do in the laboratories?

A.Educate visitors on trips to Mars.

B.Develop the Mars settlers’ imagination.

C.Find ways to produce food, water and energy on Mars.

D.Create a climate-controlled environment for future use.

【3】Why will the museum’s walls be 3D printed?

A.To show famous space techniques.

B.To make full use of the nearby desert.

C.To inspire children to love exploration.

D.To test building skills used by Mars settlers.

【4】What’s the best title for the text?

A.UAE to Build Mars Science City

B.UAE’s Great Exploration of Mars

C.UAE to Build First Mars Settlement

D.UAE’s Scientistific Contribution to Humans

34、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Expressions about water are almost as common as water itself. But many of the expressions using water have unpleasant meanings.

The expression “to be in hot water” is one of them. It is a very old expression, which can be 【1】 back to 500 years ago. The expression is used to mean being in trouble. One story says it got that meaning from the custom of throwing extremely hot water down on enemies attacking a castle.

Being in “deep water” is almost the same as being in “hot water”. When you are in deep water, you are in a difficult 【2】. Imagine a person who cannot swim being thrown in water over his head. You are in deep water when you are facing a problem that you do not have the ability to solve. The problem is too deep. You can be in deep water, for example, if you invest in stocks in complete 【3】 of the stock market.

"Water over the dam" is another expression about a past event. It is something that cannot be 【4】. The expression comes from the idea that water that has 【5】 a dam cannot be brought back again. When a friend is 【6】 by a mistake she has made, you might tell her to forget about it. You say it is water over the dam.

Another common expression, "to hold water," is about the strength or weakness of an idea or opinion that you may be arguing about. It probably comes from the way of testing the 【7】 of a container. If it can hold water, it is strong and has no holes in it. If your 【8】 can hold water, it is strong and does not have any holes. If it does not hold water, then it is weak and can not be 【9】.

"Throwing cold water" also is an expression that deals with an idea or 【10】. For example, you want to buy a new car because the old one has some problems. But you wife "throws cold water" on the idea, because she says a new car costs too much

Tablets are really useful devices, but their big screens always make them a burden to carry around without a bag. Wouldn’t it be great if there were a phone with the powers of a tablet that could be folded up and fit 【1】 into the hand?

Now something like a tablet-shaped but fold-able phone is about to become 【2】. In February, South Korean electronics company Samsung and China’s Huawei both unveiled fold-able phones Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X 【3】. Mobile phone use has entered the “fold-able future”, The Verge noted.

The technology could change our lives in significant ways. These devices, due to their 【4】 screens, give us the larger screens we want. Meanwhile, they still fit easily into the pocket. As USA Today noted, they’re “the 【5】 of a small tablets and smart-phone, all in a single device”.

The technology could 【6】 other devices too. For example, we could make TVs that stick to walls like posters, or fold up easily to hide away in drawers. In crowded modem cities, they will help us to 【7】 available space.

In a keynote address, Samsung’s senior vice president of mobile product marketing, Justin Denison, called the fold-able screen “the 【8】 for the smart-phone of tomorrow.” “It’s a balank canvas for us to do something beautiful together,” he said.

So is there nothing to stand in the way of the fold-able future?

According to tech news website Android authority, the necessary displays were difficult to produce. In 2012, nine out of every to OLED screens produced were 【9】. Today, that 10 percent rate has been improved to between 50 and 90 percent. However, at present these fold-able devices are expensive. For example, the price of Huawei Mate X is 17,500 RMB. That’s a price that may 【10】 the majority of people.

But if the fold-able device isn’t going to change the world overnight, there is no doubt that it is coming.

Patrick Moor-head, an industry analyst told The Verge, “Few are debating if fold-able or roll-able mobile displays are the future of smart-phones; the only question is when and by whom.”

Wearing face masks during the COVID-19 pandemic p【1】 the spread of the deadly virus. But it is also i【2】. For one, we can no longer unlock our phones using facial recognition since a good part of our face is c【3】.

F【4】, tech companies are working to solve the problem. Apple, for example, offered a new way to unlock your iPhone and iPad with its l【5】 software update, iOS13.5, w【6】 was released on May 20.

Even though the update still won’t recognize your masked face, it makes the whole process f【7】. While the old system wouldn’t allow access t【8】 the passcode screen before three failed face scan attempts, iOS13.5 will send you straight to the passcode screen when you swipe up.

39、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。

In 2000, when I was around seven years old, my parents, sister, brother, and I were coming back from a T-ball game. That was our usual weekend adventure, but unlike every other weekend, a surprise was waiting for us in our driveway. There, we spotted two adult geese and a baby goose. The adults were shocked by our return and flew away, but their baby was still too young to fly and couldn’t follow. We are no strangers to the ways of wildlife, so we knew to avoid physical contact with the baby goose out of fear that it would imprint upon us and be lost to its family forever.

Hours passed, and night fell. With it came a deep cold and a fear of watchful predators (捕食者).The tiny little thing was wandering around our yard, unaware of what could happen, and it was clear that the baby goose needed protection, warmth, and nutrients to make it to the morning. At that point. we knew we had to step in and brought him onto our back porch(门厅).

We all pretty much slept with one eye open till morning came. And then another morning. And still another. Each morning, we would try to send the goose over to his parents, who kept coming back to our yard. He wouldn't go to them, though, and they wouldn't come close enough to claim him. We kept this up for five days, but no luck. By then, the young goose had clearly decided we were his new family, so we had to give him a name-Peeper, because he would follow us around the yard making a peeping noise, nonstop.

Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months until almost a year passed. We settled into a routine filled with feathery hugs and friendship. Peeper slept on our back porch each night and my dad would clean the goose droppings in the morning. Part of the routine included dad throwing Peeper up into the air so he could fly a loop (圈）around the house, coming back again once the porch was clean.

注意：

1.续写词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

One evening, my dad threw Peeper up in the air as usual, but this time, Peeper just flew off. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

It came as a total shock to me when.in 2019, an aging adult goose made his way back to my family home. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
