21、Food is part of who we are. We all need it, survive because of it and derive happiness from it. So if food matters so much, why do we let so much of it go rotten in our fridges, or get thrown out in our stores? Sadly, we love food, but we don’t take care of it. 【1】 Here are ways to help us love our food better and grow respect for the world behind what we eat.
• Reduce your food waste.
Buy only the food you need, store food wisely, donate excess and turn leftover food into the next day’s meals. When we waste food, all the resources used for growing, processing, transporting and marketing that food are wasted too. 【2】
• Support your local food producers.
Chefs get awards, stars and recognition for their creations. But what about our farmers? 【3】 Shop at your local markets and get to know your farmers. Giving them your business is giving them your recognition and respect.
• Adopt a healthier, more sustainable diet.
【4】 We get energy and maintain health from good food. We normally don’t care the power that food and nutrition have over our bodies. Too much of it, or too much of only one kind of it, can lead to obesity, deficiencies or diet-related diseases.
• 【5】
By treating each meal with pride, we respect the farmers who produced it, and the resources that went into it. Respect can be passed on. Talk to the people around and to the next generation about making informed, healthy and sustainable food choices.
Respecting food means appreciating the back-story of food. When we know the full picture, it is easier to see what our food really stands for and how precious it really is.
A.Have a conversation.
B.Learn where food comes from.
C.Our bodies consume calories and nutrients.
D.For many people on the planet, food is giving.
E.Food is so much more than what is on our plates.
F.One third of all food produced globally is lost or wasted.
G.Without them, we wouldn’t have the fresh food we need on a daily basis.
22、The Olympics and COVID-19 were never going to coexist. The basic rule when it comes to controlling an infectious disease is to limit the contact people have with one another. Yet the two- week long competition, which begins on July 23 in Tokyo, is to invite the world to meet, greet and take part in friendly — and often socially not so distant — contests.
An estimated 70,000 athletes, coaches, staff, officials and media will be marching in Tokyo from July to August for the Olympics — at a time when infections in the city are rising again. On July 8, the government declared a fourth COVID-19 state of emergency in Tokyo, which will extend through the end of the Games.
New cases of COVID-19 existing in any of the Olympic visitors could not only disrupt(扰乱) the Games but also forever fade this year’s Olympics as an exercise in a global pandemic(大流行病) that has claimed the lives of 4 million people.
Olympic organizers are working desperately to prevent that from happening. After consulting with infectious-disease experts, Tokyo 2020 officials have created guidelines for everyone who will be traveling to Japan for the Olympics. Many of the measures are familiar: frequent testing, mask orders and social-distancing procedures.
The strategy is also realistic. While it might not be possible to prevent the virus from entering secretly the Olympic community, measures are taken to try to avoid it . Infections will happen. The challenge lies in minimizing the risk of those infections and the influence they might have—on not just the Games but also the Japanese public and, finally, the world at large when Olympic delegations(代表团) return home.
【1】What is the basic principle of controlling an epidemic?
A.To prevent people from communicating with each other.
B.To keep people from participating in activities.
C.To limit the contact people have with each other.
D.To stop people from chatting online.
【2】What does the underlined word “that” refer to?
A.The spreading of virus caused by new cases of COVID-19.
B.The treatment of new cases of COVID-19.
C.The possible threat brought by new cases of COVID-19.
D.The decrease of new cases of COVID-19.
【3】Which word best describes the author’s attitude to the measures for Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games?
A.Skeptical.
B.Conservative
C.Objective.
D.Negative.
【4】From which is the text probably taken?
A.A travel brochure
B.A biology textbook.
C.A research paper.
D.A news magazine.
23、Many teachers believe frequent quizzes(小测验) help students better grasp classroom material. Crede, an associate professor of psychology, was skeptical that something as simple as a quiz could positively affect students’ academic performance. He decided to dig deeper and conduct an analytic study of existing research to see if there was any proof to the idea. What he discovered truly surprised him.
Crede analyzed data from previously published studies that examined 52 classes with almost 8,000 students, primarily college-level courses, to determine if frequent quizzes improved the students’ academic performance. Laboratory settings were kept out of the study because Crede wanted to observe whether similar studies from labs would apply to general classrooms.
Crede discovered that when students are quizzed over class material at least once a week, they tend to perform better on midterm and final exams compared to students who did not take quizzes. He also found that students who took frequent quizzes were less likely to fail the class, especially if they were struggling with the course content. Students who struggle the most in a class seem to benefit the greatest from frequent quizzes. The other surprising thing was how much quizzes helped reduce failure rates in classes. The chances of passing a class went through the roof where instructors used this. In addition to quiz frequency, another factor that seemed to positively affect students’ performance was immediate feedback from instructors. Also, quizzes that required students to answer with written responses proved more beneficial to their understanding of class material compared to multiple-choice questions.
Asking teachers to grade written quizzes daily or weekly may discourage some from carrying them out in their classes. Instead, it is recommended that instructors give online quizzes that can be automatically graded by a course management system. Quiz attributes(属性) proved insignificant in the study, including whether the tests were pop quizzes or planned, or if they were online or on paper.
【1】What did Crede do to ensure his study’s accuracy?
A.He focused on what happened in classrooms.
B.He researched as many students as he could.
C.He made laboratory settings as real as possible.
D.He gave easy quizzes to make every student do well.
【2】What did Crede discover in his study?
A.Frequent quizzes could remove students’ failure in classes.
B.Instructors’ feedback was more important than frequent quizzes.
C.Frequent quizzes were especially useful to the struggling students.
D.Multiple-choice questions shouldn’t be included in frequent quizzes.
【3】What may be a disadvantage of frequent quizzes for teachers?
A.Accessing the Internet less frequently.
B.Having too many exam papers to mark.
C.Being unable to get appropriate test materials.
D.Finding it hard to choose the right type of quiz.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Quizzes Stimulate a Passion for Creation
B.Quizzes Improve Academic Performance
C.Quizzes Create a Heavy Burden
D.Quizzes Increase Boredom
24、The bad health effects of sleep loss during the week can’t be repaid by longer weekend sleep, according to a new study.
Researchers have long known that sleep deprivation (剥夺) can cause weight gain and increase other health risks. But for those who force themselves out of bed every weekday after too few hours of shut eye, they hope turning off the alarm on Saturday and Sunday will repay the weekly sleep debt and remove any ill effects.
The research, published in Current Biology, crushes those hopes. Despite complete freedom to sleep during a weekend recovery period, people in a sleep lab who were limited to five hours of sleep on weekdays gained nearly three pounds over two weeks and experienced disorders that would increase their risk for diabetes over the long term. While weekend recovery sleep had some benefits after a single week of sleep loss, those gains were wiped out when people fell right back into their same sleep deprived schedule the next Monday.
“If there are benefits of catch-up sleep, they’re gone when you go back to your daily schedule. It’s very short lived”, said Kenneth Wright, director of the sleep and chronobiology lab at the University of Colorado at Boulder. “These health effects are long term. It’s kind of like smoking once was — people would smoke and wouldn’t see an immediate effect on their health, but people will say now that smoking is not a healthy lifestyle choice. I think sleep is in the early stage of where smoking used to be.”
Wright said that the study suggests people should put sleep in the first place cutting out the “sleep stealers” such as watching television shows or spending time on their phones. Even when people don’t have a choice about losing sleep because of child-care responsibilities or job schedules, they should think about getting sleep in the same way they would get a healthy diet or exercise.
【1】What does the underlined word “rushes” mean?
A.Arouses.
B.Guarantees.
C.Deepens.
D.Ruins.
【2】According to Kenneth Wright, which of the following statements is true?
A.People will see the effects of sleep loss after a long time.
B.People will benefit a lot from weekend recovery sleep.
C.Smoking and sleep loss have the same bad effects.
D.Sleep loss is less harmful than smoking.
【3】What does Kenneth Wright advise people to do?
A.Do regular exercise every day.
B.Reduce the screen time before sleep.
C.Watch some TV shows before bedtime.
D.Sleep as long as possible during weekdays.
【4】What does the author intend to do by writing the passage?
A.To share some unhappy experiences.
B.To show some unknown facts.
C.To introduce a new study.
D.To promote a healthy lifestyle.
25、The British love to think of themselves as polite, and everyone knows how fond they are of their “pleases” and “thank you”. Even the simplest business such as buying a train ticket requires _________ seven or eight of these. Another _________ of our good manners is the queue. New-comers to Britain could be _________ for thinking that queuing rather than football was the _________ national sport. Finally, of course, motorists generally stop at crossings. But does all this mean that the British should consider themselves more _________ than their European neighbours? I think not.
Take forms of address(称呼) for example. The average English person -- _________ he happens to work in a hotel or department store--would rather die than call a stranger “Sir” or “Madam”. _________ in some European countries this is the most basic of common address. Our universal “you” _________ everyone may appear more democratic, but it means that we are forced to seek out complicated ways to express _________. I am all for __________ to the use of “thee” and “thou” (Thee and thou are old-fashioned poetic words for “you”); “you” would be reserved for strangers and professional relationships.
And of course, the English find touching and other shows of friendship truly __________. Have you noticed how the British __________ ever touch? Personally, I find the Latin habit of shaking hands or a friendly kiss quite charming. __________ kissing the average English person, and they will either take two steps backwards in horror, or, if their __________ is blocked you will find your lips touching the back of their head. Now what could be __________ than that?

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落的开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Being without work can be scary and overwhelming, especially when you have a family to support.
Patrick Hoagland is a 30-year-old dad of one who was suddenly laid off from his job at a metal recycling company. He was desperate to find another job and in this economy, that isn’t very easy. However, as a father, he couldn’t afford to be without work.
“I definitely had fear,” Hoagland admitted. “My wife and I, we don’t make a whole lot of money individually. Once I lost my job, everything was put on her.” So a month after being laid off, he decided to stand on a busy roadside of a Phoenix highway and simply hand out copies of his resume!
Before figuring out his unconventional strategy, Patrick had tried to apply to many jobs, both online and in person. The lack of response eventually led to his idea. “I wasn’t getting any responses,“ he said.” I was getting frustrated. It popped into my head, stand on a corner and hold a sign and hand out resumes. At first I laughed about it... but I kept thinking about it. I figured, why not?! There are millions of people in Phoenix driving around; someone might give me a job offer.”
For three days, for a few hours each day, Patrick handed his resume out to strangers. He also held a sign which read “Please take a resume. Laid-off. Looking for a job.”
During one of these sessions, a woman named Melissa DiGianfilippo, owner of Serendipity Consulting, passed by. She was driving down Camel back Rd in Phx near her office and saw this guy on the side of the road with a smile in 110-degree heat, with a sign asking people to take his resume. She was impressed with Patrick because it was 110℃ outside and what she saw was really unexpected.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

Melissa noticed how much creativity this move took, so she grabbed a copy of his resume and decided to post it on social media.
