1、阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

Did the “double reduction” policy (“双减”政策) change the students’ life? Is it good or bad for their study? Two students will share their ideas with us.

Li Linhua, 13, Beijing

It really helps me. Our homework is less than before. I can finish it at school with no need to take it home. I’m also happy to find there are fewer exams. 1. 我有更多的时间去阅读和运动。

Less homework make us have more after-school activities such as dancing, volleyball and drama (戏剧). 2. I can join many clubs, learning all kinds of useful things in life. Teachers are also giving us more chances to learn from real life. For example, we went to research earthworms (蚯蚓) in a field (田野) during a biology class. I believe this is a much better way to learn than just hitting the books. 3. The most exciting thing is that we can be close to the nature.

Wang Hai, 14, Changsha

With the “double reduction”, I have more free time to enjoy what I like to do! But since I can only take after-school classes on weekdays now, 4. Monday has become a really long and tiring day for me. On Monday, I need to take an online class at home after I come back from school. But at least I can have happy weekends.

There is one problem: We can no longer see the rankings (排名) after each exam. For sure, I do feel less stress without knowing them. But at the same time, 5. 我开始担心在学校的成绩。

24、A jobless man wanted very much to have the position of “office boy” at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed(面试) him and then watched him cleaning the floor as a test. “You have passed the test,” he said. “Give me your e-mail address and I’ll send you the form（表格） to fill in and the date when you may start.” The man replied, “But I don’t have a computer, neither an e-mail.” “I’m sorry,” said the HR manager. “If you don’t have an e-mail, that means you are not living. And anyone who isn’t living cannot have the job.”

The man left with no hope at all. He didn’t know what to do with only $10 in his pocket. He thought and thought. Then he went to the supermarket and bought 10 kilos of tomatoes. He sold the tomatoes from door to door. In less than two hours, he had 20 dollars. He did that three times, and started to go early every day, and returned home late. Shortly, he bought a cart , then a truck, then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles(运货车队). Five years later, the man was one of the biggest food retailers (零售商)  in the US.

One day, one of his friends asked him for his e-mail. He said, “I haven’t got one.” His friend couldn’t believe his ears. “Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an e-mail?” The man thought for a while and replied, “Yes, I’d be an office boy at Microsoft!”

25、Carrots are grown on farms and in small family gardens all over the world. They are easy to plant and easy to harvest (收获). They have a good taste.

When people think about carrots, they usually think they are a kind of long, thin, orange-colored vegetable. In fact, carrots are in many different sizes and shapes. And not all carrots are orange.       

Carrots should be grown in a field that does not have water for a long time. The earth also should not be too hard. To prepare your carrot garden, dig up the earth and turn it over (翻土).       

Weather, soil condition (土壤状况), and time affect (影响) the taste of carrots. Warm days and cool nights are the best time to grow great delicious carrots.

The best way to decide if a carrot is ready to be harvested is by its color. Usually, the brighter the color is, the better the taste is.

Most people do not know that carrots can be grown during the winter months. If the winter is not cold enough to freeze the ground, you can grow carrots the same way as you do during the summer months.

Carrots are prepared and eaten in many different ways. They are cut into thin pieces and cooked with other vegetables or meat. Or, they are washed, and eaten just as they come out of the ground.

Judge the following sentence true (T) or false (F) according to the passage.

【1】Carrots are easy to plant but hard to harvest.

【2】Carrots should be grown in a field without water for a long time.

【3】The best way to decide if a carrot is ready to be harvested is by its size.

【4】Everyone knows that carrots can be grown during the winter months.

【5】We can prepare and eat carrots in many different ways.

26、How long am I going to live? Nobody really knows the answer to that question, but scientists are very interested in trying to understand the various factors (因素) involved. Firstly, it depends a lot on what you eat. The country with the longest average lifespan is Japan. On average, women live to 82.5 years and men live to 76.2 years. Scientists think that diet in Japan is a main reason that Japanese people live a long time; they usually eat lots of fish and seafood and not much junk food. As well as diet (饮食), lifestyle habits also seem to make a difference to lifespan. On average, married people live longer than single people and pet owners live longer than non-pet owners. Being mentally active and doing physical exercise are also very important lifestyle habits.

Studies of very old people, however, don’t always support the scientific theories. Many old people don’t eat healthily and don’t do much exercise. Jeanne Calment, the world’s oldest person ever, certainly goes against scientific ideas. She was born in France in 1875 and died aged 122. Did she use to have good lifestyle habits? Well, according to scientists, she had some very good habits: she did plenty of physical exercise and used to ride a bicycle until she was 100. She was good at thinking positively and she didn’t use to worry about things. Scientists are surprised, however, by one of her other habits: she didn’t used to eat very healthily. She used to eat more than two pounds of chocolate a week.

So there is another factor involved in how long we live. Scientists now think that some people were born with genes (基因) that protect them from aging and diseases better than other people. For example, Jeanne Calment probably had a gene that stopped her from getting cancer (癌症) that other people may get aged forty or fifty. Some scientists believe that we can change our genes by eating a low-calorie diet. Experiments with mice show that when they eat one third fewer calories every day, they live forty percent longer. In human terms, that’s the same as living to 170 years old. There’s no proof that it works in human, however, and perhaps it’s best to enjoy the days you’ve got rather than be hungry all your life!

【1】According to the passage, lifespan is affected by ____ factors.

A. 2   B. 3   C. 4   D. 5

【2】Scientists think that Jeanne Calment lived the longest probably because ______.

A. she used to eat a lot of chocolate

B. she had only good habits in her life

C. she didn’t get cancer when she was fifty

D. she had healthy genes to protect herself

【3】The writer may agree that ______.

A. humans will live forty years longer if they eat one third less junk food

B. being mentally active is more important than having healthy diet

C. people should eat more low-calorie food to change their genes

D. sometimes enjoying life is more important than living longer

27、Have you gotten vaccinated (接种疫苗)? Have you been waiting for so long? Here is some information for people in Yuelu District.

【1】How many ways of booking appointments for getting vaccinated are mentioned?

A．Three

B．Two

C．Four

【2】If Tom wants to get vaccinated on Saturday morning, he should ________.

A．go to Wangyue Lake Street Heath Center

B．go to Orange Island Sanzhen Health Center

C．go to No.656 Xiangjiahu Road
