21、 Short-term overseas visitors can now use mobile payments on the Chinese mainland. China's leading mobile payment company Alipay backed by Alibaba announced on Tuesday.

Visitors can use the "Prepaid Card" service provided by the Bank of Shanghai to top up Chinese yuan and enjoy services including scanning a QR code (二维码)to pay at restaurants and shops, as well as making online purchases.
An increasing number of visitors are choosing China as their travel destination, as the country eases visa requirements to promote tourism.

22、“Why do you have 9,632 emails in your inbox (收件箱)?”
I looked at my husband,“Um...is that a lot? How many are in your inbox?”
“About twenty,” he replied. I looked at my inbox. There were emails I had meant to deal with; emails from customers and the kids’ schools with information I needed; there were time-sensitive offers I’d never got around to investigating; endless updates from the social media platforms I subscribed to, and the rest I had kept just in case.
I realized that I had become an email hoarder (囤积者). I clearly had a problem and I needed to act. I paused my work and began to delete unwanted emails. An hour later I made little progress.
“Just delete the whole lot,” my husband strongly suggested.
Could I do that? It was appealing. But I paused. I couldn’t. I did have a problem! Then I decided to compromise. I kept the last month’s emails and deleted everything else. I looked at my almost empty inbox. Wow, it felt so good.
To be honest, I feel genuine anxiety about deleting emails, FOMO (错失恐惧症) is a real problem for many people like me with email issues. So many emails are “offers”. What if that amazing offer never comes up again? But the fact is that they do...frequently. What’s more,these great offers are often time-sensitive and so we hang on to them “just in case”, then miss the deadline anyway and still don’t delete them.
I found it useful to limit my emails to 50 and I use an email system which ensures all school emails go into a separate inbox, so I can see at a glance when “Dress like a Roman” day or “Bring an onion to school” day (yes really) is coming up! I feel more in control and organized now. I’m on top of my inbox. Now I’m off to handle the cupboard under the stairs!
【1】What was the author’s immediate reaction to her husband’s suggestion??
A.She approved of it.
B.She felt annoyed at it.
C.She hesitated about it.
D.She was astonished at it.
【2】What led to the author’s anxiety about deleting emails?
A.The deadline that she forgot to meet.
B.The fact that she liked keeping emails.
C.The offer that she might never give.
D.The fear that she would miss out something.
【3】What does the author do with her inbox at last?
A.Adopt an email system to classify all emails.
B.Separate unwanted emails into a new inbox.
C.Reply to school emails as soon as possible.
D.Set a restriction to the number of emails.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A.How the author became an email hoarder.
B.How the author takes her inbox in hand.
C.Why FOMO is a real problem.
D.Why emails turned out to be a headache.
23、September is upon us, which means one thing for parents and children alike: term time. Many will be excited to engage in-person, after months of remote learning. Unfortunately,this won't apply to everyone. It's alarming that an estimated 540,000 children will continue to stay at home, due to mental or physical health concerns directly related to the COVID-19 pandemic (流行病).For those that aren't able to attend classes in person, maintaining some form of connection with their peers is vitally important, both to protect their educational development and to prevent them from becoming isolated(孤独)。
No Isolation, a company that specializes in understanding and reducing the impact of loneliness, has decided to take action. Throughout the summer, No Isolation worked with independent researcher,Henry Peck, to better understand the effect of lockdown on educational and emotional development in school-aged children. They collected responses from some primary and middle school students and found that about 1,320 children, or more than 75% of the surveyed, were more or less lonely during the lockdown.
There is no immediate “fix" for loneliness, but there are steps to be taken to help.Parents need to open up a dialogue around what loneliness is, and what it feels like, so as to stress that feeling lonely is completely normal and a topic that is safe to talk about. For adults, loneliness is a shame, which means that often they are not open enough about it with each other, let alone with their children. Parents need to break the taboo around loneliness by talking and encouraging children to share their emotions.They also need to learn to ask for help. Sometimes these emotions need to be talked through with family or with a professional. Now, more than ever, parents should be listening to children and helping to make sure they are heard when they feel lonely. They are facing the same pandemic,and they deserve all of the help and support they can get.
【1】What may prevent many young people returning to school in the coming new term?
A.The interrupted connection with their peers.
B.The continued spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
C.The benefits of remote learning they have ever received.
D.The physical and mental impact of the pandemic on them.
【2】What do the numbers in Paragraph 2 imply?
A.A bad effect of loneliness.
B.The large number of students in the UK.
C.A worrying common phenomenon.
D.The convincing accuracy of the survey.
【3】How can parents help children understand that loneliness is normal?
A.By making sure their children feel safe at home.
B.By receiving education on what loneliness actually is.
C.By talking about the nature of loneliness with their children.
D.By opening up a dialogue about their struggle with children.
【4】What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A.Serious consequences of loneliness.
B.Effective ways of dealing with loneliness.
C.Possible ways of breaking the taboo.
D.Great significance of social emotion sharing.
24、Dear Children,
As you know, for years I’ve planned to write up the memories. Now that you are grown, I’ve signed up for a memoir writing class. You know what? It’s such a struggle!
Sometimes, I wake up in the middle of the night with just the right thought in my mind. Grabbing notepaper and pen, I go in the bathroom and write it down. Great! I don’t want to lose that, and in the morning it may be gone. But I’m having trouble getting back to sleep these days and find myself nodding off in my chair after dinner.
Instead of writing “I remember,” we are encouraged to be creative. The right expression came -during the night. Naturally I jumped up and got it written just the way I wanted. It’s all sort of a torture (拆磨). I’m walking around with dark circles underneath my eyes.
I spend a great deal of time staring out the window, deep in thoughts. I’ve noticed I’m having a little bit of trouble sometimes getting my eyes to focus again. I also carry around a notebook in my purse to seize the thoughts when I’m driving around or at the grocery store. The notebook takes up so much space in my purse!
It’s great to have pictures to illustrate the writings. But in finding just the right ones, I have to search around through all the boxes, and the house is in a mess. in fact, I’m becoming absent-minded, I have to admit. I forgot to turn on the coffee pot the other morning, and yesterday the potatoes burned when I was writing down this great description.
So, my dears, I’ve decided it’s fun to write all the memorable times in my life and to share the happy days of your growing up years. But I think at my age, I need my rest. Enjoy the ones I’ve written because I’ve decided not to write any more memoirs.
Love, Mom

26、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。
Zero-waste is the latest trend among eco-friendly and sustainable-living circles. Concerned individuals are taking a hard look at our wasteful habits, and finding creative and innovative ways to deal with the issue. Among them is a restaurant owner in India.
Minu Pauline owns a restaurant in Kochi, southern India. The 28-year-old restaurant owner was upset that her restaurant was throwing away a lot of food each day while many within the community were going hungry. Then she came up with an idea after watching a woman digging through the restaurant’s rubbish bags for food late one night.
“Just imagine being in the situation where you should be asleep but you feel too hungry and have to go out to find food,” she said. “It was very sad.” The experience was an eye-opener for Pauline. She realized just how much food we waste in society——including her own business, while so many people are going hungry. In response, she decided to place a refrigerator in front of her restaurant.
Once the refrigerator was in place, she encouraged customers to put whatever food they didn’t finish within. Pauline herself also put food in it. In addition, she wrote the date when the food was left in the refrigerator, so those who took it knew how long it had been there. The refrigerator was left unlocked 24 hour a day, and the food was available to anyone for free. Now the refrigerator feeds dozens of homeless people each day.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
