22、Will you stop using plastic?

If you take a look around your kitchen or office right now, chances are that you’ll notice you’re surrounded by plastic—water bottles, to-go coffee cups, straws (吸管), plastic grocery bags, food wrappers, take-out containers, single-serve coffee pods and produce bags. 【1】

It’s certainly not realistic to remove all plastic from your life, but let’s examine some statistics that may encourage you to reduce your single-use plastic footprint by throwing away straws, switching to reusable water bottles, bringing cloth bags to the grocery store and more.

According to a study published in the journal Science Advances, the popularity of plastic, which began rising in the 1950s, is growing out of control. 【2】 And there’s no sign of slowing down, considering scientists say that another 12 trillion kilograms will be produced worldwide by 2050.

“Every piece of plastic that has ever been created will remain in the environment in some form, but once we conveniently throw out our rubbish at home, wind and runoff carry our waste from landfills and streets to the ocean,” says Mystic Aquarium’s chief clinical veterinarian Jennifer Flower, DVM, MS. “Given that we are globally producing over 320 million tons of plastic annually, the marine environment is taking a big hit from our daily disposal of plastic.

【3】 For example, newborn fish are mistaking tiny bits of plastic waste for food. If they die, there will be fewer big fish—and that could damage the food chain. Often our society is so focused on making our lives more convenient in the short term, but in the long run, our health and the health of marine life are at the expense of those everyday conveniences.”

【4】 A recent report suggests that when heated, certain food additives (添加剂) can damage hormones, growth and development, as well as increase chances for children of being fat. 【5】 It is found in plastic containers and metal cans. Parents are urged to avoid using microwaves to warm food and drinks or placing plastics in the dishwasher.

A．Our plastic consumption is directly affecting the life in the ocean.

B．People are concerned about the results of overusing plastic containers.

C．8.2 trillion kilograms of plastic have been produced around the world.

D．Using plastic containers in microwaves is also harmful to children’s health.

E．Let’s stop using plastic for the benefit of the environment and human beings.

F．These are all examples of single-use plastic products, which is a hot topic nowadays.

G．The most concerning artificial additive BPA is a chemical used in the production of plastics.

23、I had been looking forward to my sister Patti’s visit for weeks. I had the whole thing planned. It would be one of our usual short-but-sweet get-togethers: a nice meal, some shopping, an outing with our kids.

When Patti arrived, lunch was cooking on the stove. Everything was perfect. Then, a few minutes later, a terrific clap of thunder rattled the window. A storm had sped in out of nowhere. The lights went out — for the next 12hours.

It seemed like a disaster. Our long-awaited plans! My homemade lunch! Seeing the unfinished pork, we had to eat cold food. We didn’t know what we can do next. The children asked, “Can we watch TV?” “The TV isn’t working.” I explained. So they begged, “Well, how about a video, then?” “How about computer games?” “Can’t you just microwave some popcorn?” I quickly realized just how much we all took electricity for granted.

But as the evening wore on, I also realized I had been taking something else for granted: the power of relationships. The point of my sister’s visit was not that we could go shopping. It didn’t matter whether we took our kids to the zoo. What counted were the people, not the plans.

We all sang old camp songs and put on shadow plays. After the kids eagerly went to bed with their own flashlights, Patti and I brought chairs onto my small front porch (门廊). At first we talked about our ruined plans. Then we sat back silently, listening to the rain dropping through the trees. I hadn’t sat out there in ages, and night air felt cool. We began to talk about our friends. We planned our parents’ upcoming anniversary party. Our conversation went to places it hadn’t gone in years.

I realized that what Patti and I had been looking forward to most was each other — something that often seemed vague on past short visits. Those get-togethers have always been enjoyable, but I must admit that they tend to melt together in my memory. That night the lights went out, on the other hand, they will burn brightly for a long time.

【1】The author planned to do something for her sister’s visit except __________.

A. seeing a film     B. doing some shopping

C. cooking a nice meal   D. going out with their kids

【2】Why did the lights go out?

A. Because thunder rattled the window.

B. Because a storm came.

C. Because someone played a trick on them.

D. Because they planned so.

【3】It can be inferred from the passage that__________.

A. their get-togethers were usually long

B. the author prepared a party for Patti’s visit

C. the author and Patti talked a lot this time

D. the lunch was ready when Patti arrived

【4】On the night without power, the author was   at last.

A. mad   B. grateful C. sad D. awful

【5】What did the author try to convey through this passage?

A. A lot of things can be done when the electricity is cut off.

B. The plan should be more careful.

C. We should always turn off the lights.

D. What counts are the people, not the plans.

24、With effective measures, travelers around the world are doing their best to reduce the risk of infecting COVID-19. 【1】 It’s important to be prepared for the possibility. Here’s the latest guidance to lead you through a stressful situation with ease.

What can I do to prepare for a potential COVID-19 infection？

Start by booking flexible transport and accommodation, Read the fine print or call ahead to see if companies refund last-minute cancellations, allow exchanges, or cover any unforeseen COVID-related costs. 【2】 Comprehensive travel insurance that includes expenses like hotel quarantine (检疫) can prove equally important.

【3】

Your insurance that costs you a little extra now may save you thousands of dollars down the road. For those concerned about treatment abroad, some companies provide medical evacuation services to your home country and hospital can be your choice because costs, which can be thousands of dollars, can be frustrating.

What do I do if I develop COVID-19 symptoms while traveling？

If you’re experiencing the signs of the coronavirus, prioritize getting tested, then remain isolated (隔离) until you receive the results. Information is power: The sooner you’re diagnosed, the sooner you can protect yourself and those around you. Next, tell any close contacts who may have been exposed to the virus. 【4】

How do I isolate?

Protect those around you by staying in a designated quarantine room. 【5】 If you must share a space, wear a mask and keep a proper physical distance. In addition, ensure you have access to all the items necessary for an extended stay, including essentials like food, water, necessary medications, and Wi-Fi. If someone is delivering you food, he or she should leave it outside your door.

A．But getting infected can still happen.

B．If possible, using a separate bathroom.

C．What can I do if I spend too much dollars?

D．Clear communication is the best way to protect everyone.

E．Why do I choose travel insurance that covers COVID-19?

F．If the health crisis continues to change, the rules change too.

G．Next, ensure you have health insurance covering your travelling abroad.

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

It was a cold, snowy evening. Tommy was running as fast as he could, focused on nothing but his destination----the shop on the street corner. Two weeks ago he saw figurines(小塑像) of Marvel superheroes on the shelves and felt he had to have one. He’s been walking the neighbor’s dog ever since then to earn money to fulfil his little dream. He was so excited and barely noticing the world around him. Maybe that’s why he tripped over the legs of a homeless woman, who was sitting on the pavement, her back against the wall. He murmured(低语) "sorry" and moved on to his destination.

Once he entered the shop, he went straight to the shelves with figurines. Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, and many more----all of his admired heroes. With his heart pounding like crazy he reached for Spiderman.

“You like these, true believer?”

Tommy turned around. An old man was standing behind him with a wide smile on his face.

“Y-yes, …Yes, they’re awesome!” answered Tommy. “They’re strong and fast and help other people a lot ...”the boy looked at figurines in admiration. “I wish I could be a superhero too.”

“Then become one!” said the old man.

“How?” Tommy asked in surprise. “I don’t have any superpowers.”

“And why would you need them?” the old man smiled. Seeing the confusion on the boy's face, he squatted(蹲下) and put his hands on Tommy's arms. “Did you know that shopkeeper lady over there has a disabled husband? She’s been working hard and taking care of him for years. I’ve never heard a word of complaint from her. And this person ---” he pointed at a redhead man, who just entered the shop. “He’s a firefighter; he’s saved countless lives. He never gives up, no matter how dangerous the situation seems to be.”

The old man looked Tommy in the eyes and smiled. “You don’t need a superpower to be a hero for someone else. The path of a superhero starts not in the mind, not in the muscles, but in the heart.”

注意:

1.续写词数应为150左右;

Tommy lowered his head and looked at his shoes thinking intensely.
