Her Interact access was locked - remotely - to prevent Internet searches, and her typing style was analyzed to make sure she was who she said she was: Did she enter her student number at the same speed as she had in the past? Or was she slowing down?In the battle against cheating, this is the cutting edge and a key to encourage honesty in the booming field of online education. The technology gives trust to the entire system, to the institution and to online education in general. Only with solid measures against cheating, experts say, can Internet universities show that their exams and diplomas are valid - that students haven't just searched the Internet to get the right answers.Although online classes have existed for more than a decade, the concern over cheating has become sharper in the last year with the growth of "open online courses." Private colleges, public universities and corporations are jumping into the online education field, spending millions of dollars to attract potential students, while also taking steps to help guarantee honesty at a distance.Aside from the web cameras, a number of other high-tech methods are becoming increasingly popular. Among them are programs that check students' identities using personal information, such as the telephone numbers they once used.Other programs can produce unique exams by drawing on a large list of questions and can recognize possible cheaters by analyzing whether difficult test questions are answered at the same speed as easy ones. As in many university classes, term papers are scanned against some large Internet data banks for cheating.23. Why was Jennifer watched in an online exam?A. To correct her typing mistakes.B.

It is especially popular in the western part of our country, such as Tibet, Shaanxi and Ningxia.Meanwhile, we can’t neglect（忽视）the fact that it must be operated with a smart mobile phone and a network. And it is only recently that the technology to support such systems has become widely available, such as the popularity of the network and the smart m obile phones which makes mobile payment possible. What’s more, as the online fraud（欺诈）happens so often, we also should pay attention to its possible risks, such as the account security （账号安全）and other unexpected problems.37. 文中①处画线句子中有一个单词的意思是“粉丝，迷”，这个词是：_________38. 将文中②处的句子改为同义句。

六、书面表达保护野生动物一、阅读理解Since December, there have been tens of thousands of COVID-19 cases both in and out of China, caused by a previously unknown virus: novel coronavirus (新冠病毒).It’s not the first time for viruses to make headlines. Viruses have brought big trouble to humans, with their potential to cause widespread disease and death.What are they? Viruses are considered to be non-living organisms (有机物). They can infect animals and plants, making them sick. They contain genetic materials like DNA and are protected by a coating of protein.Unlike bacteria (细菌), viruses can’t reproduce on their own. Instead, they invaded the cells of living organisms to reproduce, spread and take over. But the basic question is: where did viruses first come from?Until now, no clear explanation for their origin exists. “Tracing the origins of viruses is difficult,” Ed Rybicki, a virologist at the university of Cape Town in South Africa, told Scientific American, “because viruses don’t leave fossils (化石) and because of the tricks they use to make copies of themselves withi n the cells they’ve invaded.”Understanding the origins of viruses means fully understanding the history of their hosts—not only humans, but also bacteria, plants and other animals, which is a complicated task, says Nature.However, there are three main theories to explain the origin of viruses. First, viruses started as independent organisms, and then became parasites (寄生者). Second, viruses evolved (进化) from pieces of DNA or RNA that“escaped” from larger organisms. The third one is that viruses co-evolved with their host cells, which means they existed alongside these cells.For the time being, these are only theories. The technology and proofs we have today cannot be used to test these theories and discover the most plausible explanation. Continuing studies may provide us with clearer answers. Or future studies may find that the answer is even more mysterious than it now appears.1. What can we learn about viruses from the passage?A. They only infect animals and plants.B. They reproduce by finding a host cell.C. They are really small living organisms.D. They are more dangerous than bacteria.2. The underlined word “plausible” in the last paragraph probably means “______”.A. creativeB. effectiveC. reasonableD. unbelievable3. What can we learn from the passage?A. The author is confident about further virus studies.B. Viruses will become more like bacteria as they evolve.C. Viruses live longer in human host cells than in animals.D. It may take a long time to discover the origin of viruses.4. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Where Do Viruses Come from?B. Why Is COVID-19 a Terrible Virus?C. How to Stop the Viruses from Spreading?D. What Are the Differences Between Viruses and Bacteria?二、完形填空As the saying goes, “A hero is known in the time of misfortune（不幸）”.Zhong Nanshan is a hero like this.

They are the backbone (脊梁) of the force that is going to shape our future. Who are they? They are the young generation who were born after 2000.This year, several young athletes have shone brightly at the Beijing Winter Olympics, giving us a glimpse (一瞥) of their generation's nature.Obviously, the young generation is filled with "brave warriors (战士)" who want to challenge impossibilities and push boundaries. Freestyle skier Gu Ailing is a good example. After she finished strong in the first two jumps in the women's freeski Big Air event, it was certain that she could get a medal. But instead of playing it safe, the 18yearold skier pushed herself to the limit. On the last jump, Gu decided to attempt a difficult trick: a left double cork (左侧两周空翻转体) 1620－four and a half rotations (旋转) in the air－before landing.“I have never done the 'left 16' before. I hadn't prepared much for it apart from two days on the air bag," Gutold China Daily, “but I felt it was a chance to push myself to the limit”.But for these young athletes, the sport is never just about scores, but also about having as much fun as possible. Born in the US, Gu faced criticism and doubts for representing China in the Beijing Winter Olympics.When questioned by The Guardian at a news conference on F eb 8, the “post00” said bluntly (直截了当地) that she wasn't trying to make everyone happy.“I'm an 18yearold girl out here living my best life. I'm having a great time,” Gu said. “It doesn't really matter if other people are happy or not, because I feel I’m doing my best and I’m enjoying the entire process.”Gu's good friend, Chinese snowboarder Su Yiming also shares a similar attitude. He takes sports as a way to have fun.After he was judged to have lost the gold to Canadian athlete Max Parrot in the men's slopestyle (坡面障碍技巧) final, the 17yearold didn’t feel upset. Instead, he was happy to have the chance to pete with his idol.“When I was on the podium (领奖台) hugging Max Parrot, it felt unreal,” Su told China Daily. “All I did today was enjoy the runs and concentrate on my tricks. As long as I am on my snowboard I am happy.”This is young generation that dares to push the limits but also enjoys life.1. Which statement is wrong from the article?A. Gu Ailing is an American girlB. Gu Ailing is a “post 00”C. Gu Ailing is a Chinses athleteD. Gu Ailing is a girl who dares to challenge herself2.Why didn’t Su Yiming feel upset when he lost in the men's slopestyle?A. Because the Canadian athlete Max Parrot is his idol.B. Because losing to his idol is reasonable.C. It was his idol who won the gold.D. Because he thought he had a chance to challenge his idol.3.What’s the main idea of paragraph 3 and 4?A. Gu Ailing is an excellent athlete.B. Gu Ailing’s spirit of challengi ng impossibility.C. Gu Ailing´s enjoying her life.D. Gu Ailing’s good attitude to the Olympics.4. What’s the mon nature of this young generation according to the article?A. Enjoying adventure but also having delicious food.B. Challenging impossibility but also enjoying life.C. Making others happy but also enjoying themselves.D. Following fashion but also making lots of friends.二、阅读理解How has the munist Party of China (CPC) succeeded in leading the nation’s revolution (革命) and development since its founding 100 years ago? And in what way can it succeed in realizing national rejuvenation (复兴) in the future?From Nov 8 to 11, 2021, the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central mittee (中国共产党第十九届中央委员会第六次全体会议) took place in Beijing. The meeting was as much about the past as it was about the future. The mittee reviewed (审议) and passed a key resolution on the major achievements and historical (历史的) experience of the CPC’s 100 years of efforts.The resolution is only the third of its kind in th e Party’s 100year history. The previous (之前的) two were passed in 1945 and 1981 respectively (分别地). These resolutions unified (团结) the whole Party in thinking and action at key historical moments, as well as played a vital guiding role in advancing the cause of the Party and the people, according to the CPC.“Standing at a new historical starting point, we review the past and look to the future,” said Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central mittee. The timing (时机) of the third resolution has its own historical significance (意义), too.In 2021, the CPC realized its First Centenary Goal of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects (全面建成小康社会). Now it is leading the nation toward its Second Centenary Goal with a twostage strategic plan. In the first stage, from 2020 to 2035, we will see that socialist modernization is basically realized (基本实现社会主义现代化). In the second stage, from 2035 to the middle of this century, China will develop into a great modern socialist country.As the reso lution says, the Party’s past success came from, and its future success will continue to rely on, what the Party does. It includes upholding (坚持) the Party’s leadership, putting the people first, and following the Chinese path. The meeting also decided that the 20th National Congress of the CPC will take place in the secondhalf of 2022 in Beijing.1.

Working in groups of four or five, the little chefs take their responsibilities very seriously.Soon, they are showing off their own delicious dishes.Since last September, the school has set up afterschool classes forstudents, with cooking classes being the most popular, said Xinhua. It es afterthe “double reduction” policy (政策). The policy aims to ease the burdens(减轻负担) of too much homework and offcampus tutoring (课外辅导) for primary and junior high school students.The policy lists requirements in areas such as reducing the amount and difficulty of homework assignments (家庭作业), as well as improving the quality (质量) of education and afterschool services. For example, homework for junior high school students should take no longer than 90 minutes to finish. It allows students more free time to pursue (追求) their hobbies and interests. Also, offcampus tutoring has been further regulated (管理) to reduce the burden on students.“Our homework is clearly less than before,” said 13yearold Shen Yuzhe from Beijing. “We are not encouragedto buy workbooks anymore. The exercises are mainly from the textbook.” According to Shen, teachers have taught at a much slower pace (速度), which gives students enough time to process new information.In December, the Ministry of Education (MOE) reported on the progress made through the policy so far. Almost all primary and middle schools now offer twohour afterschool services on weekdays. More than 90 percent of students can finish their written homework in the set time. About 92.7 percent of schools have opened afterschool arts and sports classes. More than 80 percent of academic tutoring institutions (学科类校外培训机构) have closed down or turned to other fields of business.“With homework done at school, my child and I can read books and listen to music together in the evening, or we can go out to play badminton or skip rope,” said Lu Di, the parent of a fifthgrader in Qiqihar, Heilongjiang.1.

They wanted the caps, which had QR codes printed inside. With each code standing for a vote (票), fans were able to vote for contestants (选手) in the show.This behavior is typical in fan quan, or “fan clubs”, which are organized groups of loyal (忠诚的) fans who share information about their idols. They voluntarily spend time and money to make their idols as popular as possible.According to China Daily, the rise of fan quan has played a key role in driving the entertainment industry (娱乐产业), but its social impacts (影响) have caused worries. For example, these people wasted a lot of milk. Moreover, some fans spread rumors (谣言) about other celebrities (名人). Different groups of fans sometimes also have online arguments. These misbehaviors will no longer be allowed. In June, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC, 国家网信办) started a twomonth nationwide campaign (行动) called “Clear and Bright” to clean up the online environment, especially fan clubs.Since then, many social platforms (平台) have started dealing with such misbehaviors. Douban, a movie review website, said its major focus is to stop those who lure (引诱) youngsters to raise money to support idols. Sina Weibo silenced (禁言) 100 accounts (账号) and removed (删除) 3,770 posts after an online “fight” between fans of two celebrities on Aug 23.In fan clubs, minors (未成年人) have played an important role. According to the China Internet Network Information Center, there were 183 million Chinese internet users under the age of 18 as of July 2021. Among them, about 8 percent are fans of celebrities, and most are middle school students.These youngsters lack (缺乏) social experience and are easily misled. The negative (负面的) fan culture isbad for forming healthy social behavior among teenagers, said China Daily. “Schools and parents need to provide more care for youngsters to help them support idols rationally (理智地),” Zheng Ning, an expert from munication University of China.New rulesOn Aug 27, 2021, the Cyberspace Administration of China made a notice covering 10 new requirements, aiming to stop irrational fan culture. Here are some of the requirements.Inte rnet platforms must remove fans’ improper (不合适的) posts in a timely manner. Otherwise, they will face punishment (惩罚).Online accounts of celebrities and their panies need to prevent fans from taking part in arguments, defamation (诽谤), or the dissemination (散播) of other harmful content (内容) on the internet.Luring fans to spend money on certain products is banned (禁止). Fans trying to raise money for their idols is also not allowed.More importantly, minors are banned from taking leading roles in online groups and activities or using money to support stars.1. According to Paragraph 1, people were pouring milk to _____.A. draw people’s attention onlineB. collect bottle capsC. show thanks to their idolsD. share information about their idols2.

备战2021年高考英语考前时事热点话题阅读热点13 食品安全及饮食健康问题一、阅读选择1As globalization continues to make the world a smaller place, and goods become more accessible across borders,concerns about food safety in the Asia-Pacific region have steadily risen over the years. An APEC forum is being held in Beijing, to find ways to better address the problem.156 participants from 19 APEC economies and 4 non-APEC members attended the APEC Food Safety Cooperation Forum. Created 7 years ago, the forum has been actively looking for ways to strengthen food safety standard in the region, without affecting trade.“As consumers are faced with more varieties of food, the potential food safety risk also becomes bigger. This forum has helped APEC economies to cooperate in supervision (监督), exchange information, and improve the overall food safety standard in the Asia-P acific region,” said director of China's General Administration of Quality Supervision Wu Qinghai.For the first time the forum has brought together high-level regulators, academics, and industry stakeholders to talk about their respective roles in safety supervision. They say governments alone cannot shoulder this heavy duty.In China, the continuous food safety problems have greatly hurt consumers' confidence in domestic products; therefore more turned to imports. However, problems related to quality of those imported goods also began to show. In July this year, more than 400 batches (批)of food imports from 35 countries and regions were found substandard by the country's top quality supervisor.Governments and industries have been brought closer by this forum. As food moves more freely beyond borders, this forum is hoped to promote safety control cooperation, so APEC members can better benefit from the economic integration (经济一体化).1. What kind of function can the forum play?A. It has greatly influenced the economy in the area.B. It has long been able to put every side's efforts together.C. It helps to bring government regulators and industries together.D. It has found ways to deal with safety problems.2. The last but one paragraph tells us that ________.A. the Chinese customers are more satisfied with their food safetyB. food imported from other countries are indeed high in qualityC. many Chinese customers would rather buy some foreign foodD. there are only 35 countries and regions exporting food to China3. The underlined word “address” in the first paragraph can be replaced by “________”.A. send a letter aboutB. deal withC. deliver a speech onD. call off4. According to the article, which of the following statements is WRONG?A. People can buy foreign food more easily than ever.B. The more varieties of food, the bigger the potential food safety risk.C. Food safety problems have appeared many times before this forum.D. Governments have started their cooperation with academies and industries before this forum.2New rules will let millions of Americans know where more of their food comes from. The law is known as COOL—Country of Origin Labeling.American Congress first passed the law in 2002. Stores have had to label seafood by country of origin since 2005. But industry pressure delayed other requirements until last week.Products that must now be labeled include fresh fruits and vegetables, muscle meats and some kinds of nuts. But the rules are complex, and many foods are excluded. For example, organ meats are free to be labeled. So are processed foods, including cooked or smoked food.The United States has imported more and more food in recent years to save money and expand choices. Country-of-origin labeling has become more common lately but has still been limited in many stores.Food safety is one reason why some shoppers pay close attention to where foods come from. For example, when a large number of people recently got sick from salmonella, officials blamed peppers from Mexico. Yet the last big food scare involved spinach (菠菜) grown in California. But labeling is also a way for people to know they are getting what they want. Some want to buy local foods or foods from a particular country.The country-of-origin labeling law gives stores 30 days to correct any violations (违反) that are found. Stores and suppliers that are found to be deliberately violating the law could be fined 1000 dollars per violation. Federalinspectors are not to take action to enforce the law for six months to give time for an education campaign.Some food safety activists say they are generally pleased with the law. They call it a good step that will give people more useful information.5. What’s th e regulation in the new rules?A. Stores have to label seafood by country of origin.B. The country-of-origin labeling has to be marked on more food.C. Labeling of food should include more useful information.D. Stores have to label food by its producing date from now on.6. Consumers are more concerned about where foods come from because _________.A. they are particular about the tastes of the foodB. they are curious about the country of the food originC. most of the shoppers are food safety activists themselvesD. they’re concerned about food safety and want to get what th ey want7. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A. Store owners are most likely to be the supporters of the law.B. Most Americans prefer imported vegetables to vegetables grown in local places.C. The government of America will forbid importing peppers from Mexico.D. The law was not fully carried out until last week because of food industry’s resistance.3China has recently been faced with serious issues of product safety. In Panama, it is said that medicine made with a poisonous chemical sickened some people. A Chinese company had identified it as diethylamide glycol （[化]乙二醇）, a low – cost substitute commonly used in automobile antifreeze（防冻剂）.Some countries have banned Chinese-made toothpaste containing diethylamide glycol. China has now told companies to discontinue its use, even though it says the toothpaste is safe. Another industrial chemical, melamine, was found in wheat flour used to make pet food in North America. Thousands of dogs and cats became sick.The United States has restricted some imports of Chinese seafood because they contained banned substance. And questions have been raised about other products, including children’s toys covered with lead pai nt.Chinese officials promised to provide the European Union, the biggest trading partner, with detailed reports on enforcement efforts against unsafe goods.Meglena Kuneva, commissioner (理事) for consumer protection of the European Union said China should have kept its promise.China recently closed three companies linked to the Panama and the pet food scare. And it dismissed the former head of its food and drug administration. He was found guilty of corruption (腐败) for approving unsafe drugs. This week, a conference of the State Council approved a proposed special measure on the supervision of food safety. The Xinhua News Agency said it calls for stronger controls over producers, greater responsibilities for government and more serious punishment for illegal activities.But Chinese officials have accused some foreign media of overstating problems with goods made in China. They say food imports from the United States also fail inspection sometimes. Next Week, American and Chinese food safety officials are planning to hold 5 days of meetings in Beijing to discuss cooperation.8. How many cases with safety problems are mentioned in the passage?A. SixB. FiveC. FourD. Three9. How was Panama case dealt with afterwards?A. Three companies linked to it were closed down.B. The former head of food and drug administration was removed from his position.C. More serious punishment was conducted for leaders linked to it.D. Both A and B. 10. It can be implied but not clearly stated that ________.A. Chinese- made toothpaste is safeB. the safety of “made in China” is doubtedC. there are safety problems with one more Chinese productsD. stronger control over Chinese products is in need11. The passage is mainly about ________.A. China is facing product safety problemsB. more controls are taken of Chinese goodsC. overstated problems with Chinese goodsD. China is losing its trade partners12. What does“it” refers to in the last but one paragraph?A. ChinaB. The European UnionC. Chinese officialsD. The Chinese company4Many of us may be eating food containing GM（转基因的) ingredients without realizing it. Are GM foods safe for people? Can they help solve the poverty problem? They have been the subjects of a hot debate.This debate is related to increasing challenges from rising climatic change, population growth, urbanization, and natural resource consumption. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, food production needs to increase by 60 percent by 2050 in order to feed 9 billion people. Scientists and policymakers are searching for effective ways to gain nutritious food, for today and future. Unlike previous agricultural methods (such as the Green Revolution), GM crops are to fight food safety and poverty challenges.The great expansion of GM crop varieties over the last two decades can be seen easily. The total area devoted to GM crops has increased 100 times from 1.7 million hectares in 1996 to 170 million hectares in 2012. Developing countries now grow more GM crops than developed countries (in terms of area), largely driven by Brazil’s rapid adoption of GM crops. China is home to about 4 percent of the total global area devoted to GM crops. Beans, corn, and cotton are main global GM crops, while China’s focus is on cotton, papaya, and poplar.Recently, a scientific study shows that GM crops are safe for people and the environment. According to a 2010 report on the safety of GM crops by the EU, “the main conclusion to be drawn from the efforts of more than 130 research projects, covering a period of more than 25 years of research, and involving more than 500 research groups, is that biology methods, are not more risky than traditional planting technologies, for example.” Other international and national scientific bodies, such as the World Health Organization, have reached the same conclusion.13. As for GM crops, what do people mainly focus on ?A. Food safety.B. Food nutrition.C. Food production.D. Food variety.14. What does Paragraph 3 talk about?A. More GM crops in developing countries.B. The expansion of GM crop varieties of the worldC. Rapid adoption of GM crops in Brazil.D. Less GM crops in developed countries.15. From a recent scientific study, we can infer that______.A. traditional planting technologies are more riskyB. present GM crops are safe for people and the environment.C. the safety of GM crops was reported by the EU in 2010D. the safety of GM crops has been proved in many ways16. What’s the writer’s attitude towards GM crops?A. Unknown.B. Opposed.C. Supportive.D. Indifferent.5If you bought some candy months ago but never ate it, how can you tell whether it’s still safe to eat? The easiest way is to check the “expiration date (保质期)” printed on the wrapper. If that date has already passed, you’re likely to throw the candy away. But is that really necessary?According to a new report from the US Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), tons of food is wasted each year, largely because people don’t fully understand what expiration dates, or “use-by dates”, actually mean.Food dating was introduced in 1970s because customers wanted more information about the things that they were eating. When they first showed up, use-by dates were only supposed to indicate freshness because producers wanted their products to be tasted in their best conditions.But the truth is that these dates aren’t related to the risk of food poisoning or food-born illness, according to Time News. However, most customers misinterpreted use-by dates and related them to the safety of the food, and they still largely do now.Eggs, for example, can still be eaten three to five weeks after purchase even though the use-by date is much earlier. When their use-by dates pass, strawberry juice may lose its red color and biscuits may lose their crunch（松脆的口感）, but they are not harmful.“It’s a confusing subject, the difference between food quality and food safety,” said Jena Roberts, vice president of National Food Lab, a US food testing company. “Even in the food industry I have colleagues who get confused.”This is why scientists are calling for a standard explanation to be printed following the use-by dates. “We want this to be clearly communicated so customers are not misinterpreting the date and contributing to a lot of waste,” said Dana Gunders, a staff scientist with the NRDC. But this won’t be a mistake that is easy to correct since people have believed it for so long. Another problem is that the quality levels of different foods change differently-some are still eatable long after their use-by date while others are not.As a result, food industry officials are now thinking of changing the use-by date to a date indicating when food is most likely to throw away.17. According to the text, use-by date was first intended to ________.A. reduce the waste of foodB. show whether the food was freshC. show the safety of foodD. give a warming of food poisoning18. Which of following is TRUE?A. Most customers understand what use-by date mean.B. Biscuits can’t be eaten when not as crunchy as they were bought.C. “ Use-by dates” have exist ed for more than 50 years.D. Even after their use-by dates pass, some food are still safe to eat.19. Scientists are calling for a standard explanation to be printed together with the use-by dates because________.A. Most consumers often misunderstand use-by datesB. use-by dates are not helpful or reliableC. more consumers get worried about food safetyD. the quality level of different foods changes differently6Teenagers need to eat healthy food while they’re still young so tha t they will grow up to be healthy adults. Therefore, it is necessary for school cafeterias(食堂) to provide healthy food. With this in mind, the government has introduced a new food safety regulation that will improve health levels in schools.The new regulation took effect on April 1. It requires those who are in charge of kindergartens, primary and secondary schools to eat with students in their cafeterias. Schools will also be required to make information regarding food sources and suppliers public.The regulation also suggests that parents should eat with students at school in order to provide advice on food safety. Schools must find food safety problems and solve them in a timely manner.If a school is caught buying low-quality food or failing to report food safety events, the people in charge of the school will be warned, fired or handed over to law enforcement(执法机关), the regulation says.Parents across China have become increasingly angry about food safety events in schools, according to TheBeijing News.The most recent example occurred in March at the Chengdu No.7 High School Development School. Parents posted videos and photos of bad food that was served in the school’s cafeteria, China Daily reported. The school’s headmaster was eventually fired. In October, the head of an international school in Shanghai was fired after law enforcement found bad tomatoes and onions in the schools kitchen.20. What does the new regulation require schools to do?A. Allow teachers and students to eat together.B. Improve the conditions of their cafeterias.C. Show the public where their food comes from.D. Build more than one cafeteria.21. What do we know from Paragraph 3?A. Parents should play a part in improving food safety in schools.B. Teenagers should go home to eat meals every day.C. Food safety problems can be easily solved.D. Parents are angry about food safety events in schools.22. What does the last paragraph tell us?A. School cafeterias often offer bad food to cut their costs.B. School headmasters nationwide arc not doing their jobs well.C. Food can get bad more easily in the south than in the north.D. The punishment for offering bad food is serious.23. What’s the best title of this passage?A. Students’ eating habits.B. Food safety in schools.C. School headmasters.D. Parent-teacher relationships.7It's easy to check the sell-by dates when you go shopping, so that you know how long you can store and use the food you are buying. But did you know that the best sell-by dates on food packaging don't really tell you if the food is safe to eat? Food can last longer or on the other hand, the food may not last as long as it says if it wasn'tstored correctly at any point of the distribution chain (分销连锁店) . Now there is a food packaging that works well to solve the problem.Americans waste 103 pounds of spoiled food, which has gone bad, out of their refrigerators every year. The new smart packaging from Primitives Biodesign —a company that is mainly concerned with biotech in San Francisco - can help to reduce this huge waste of food.This all-female team of scientists, engineers, and bio-designers of Primitives Biodesign spent months developing this new bio-based smart packaging that responds to environmental and safety changes in the food. It will respond by changing colors to tell you that food is no longer safe. Since it is made from a natural substance, it can also break down in nature.Making the packaging smart is the difficult part. They put much manpower and fund into it. Here the team used a process that acts as the way nature responds to changes in the environment. According to the company, it responds like the way a pinecone responds to wet air by releasing seeds or the way flowers send compounds（混合物）to change colors.The company has proven in lab tests that the technology works and now they are working on how to develop commercial（商业的）uses for it. The added safety features of the smart packaging will come out later, which will help control food waste in products like meat or cheese which have high greenhouse gas emissions（排放量）so as to help reduce the impact on climate change.24. What can we know from Paragraph 1?A. Few products show dependable sell-by dates.B. Food is surely safe to eat within the use-by dates.C. Storing food correctly is important for their safety.D. People can know about food safety from their appearance.25. What's the current use of the new smart packaging?A. Making food stay fresh longer.B. Reminding people of spoiled food.C. Recording the amount of wasted food.D. Adjusting food temperature by changing colors.26. According to the last paragraph, what is Primitive Biodesign doing now?A. Finding buyers for the smart packaging.B. Raising money for environmental protection.C. Doing experiments to test the new technology.D. Making the smart packaging practical and greener.8Is it worth buying organic（有机的）food？Organic food is increasingly popular nowadays. Customers have been willing to pay up to twice more for organic good. However, a study led by researchers at Stanford University says that orga nic products aren’t necessarily healthier, and that they’re no less likely to suffer from disease caused by bacteria（细菌）, either.The latest results, from Annals of Internet Medicine, suggest that buyers may be wasting their money. “We did not find somethi ng showing that organic food is healthier,” said Dr. Crystal Smith-Spangler from Stanford University. “So customers shouldn’t think that one type of food has a lower risk or is safer.”For their new study, Smith-Spangler and her colleagues carried out a review of researches. They included 17 studies that compared health effects between people eating organic food with those who have traditional food, and 223 studies that were about the nutritional（营养的）content of the food.While the researchers found little difference in the nutritional content, they did find that organic fruit and vegetables were 20% less likely to have chemicals（化学品）remaining on the surfaces. Neither organic nor traditional food showed levels of chemicals were high enough to go beyond food safety standards. And both organic and traditional meats, such as chicken and pork. were equally likely to be harmed by bacteria at very low rates. The researchers did find that organic milk and chicken contained higher levels of healthy fat which were also found in fish, and could help reduce the risk of heart disease. However, these nutritional differences were too small.Organic food is produced with fewer chemicals and more natural-growing practices, but that doesn’t always translate into a healthier product. The U.S. Department of Agriculture（USDA）states that “whether you buy organic food or not, finding the freshest food may have the biggest effect on taste”. Fresh food is at least as good as anything marketed as organic food.27. What does the new study of organic products Show？A. They are much healthier.B. They grow without chemicals.C. They don’t contain bacteria.D. They aren’t actually safer.28. What can we infer from Paragraph 4？A. Organic meats were bacteria-free.B. Organic fruit had more chemicals.C. Fish was helpful to lower heart disease risk.D. Traditional food didn’t meet safety standards.29. What is USDA’s attitude toward organic food？A. Doubtful.B. Uncertain.C. Unconcerned.D. Supportive.9Food experts say washing could spread the germs on your turkey in the kitchen sink or nearby food. But it's been a challenge trying to convince cooks to stop rinsing（冲洗）off raw poultry. Germs that can make people sick are common in the guts of healthy poultry and are legally allowed to be on raw turkey and chicken. The assumption is that nobody eats their poultry raw, and that thorough cooking will kill the bacteria.The do-not-wash raw poultry advice from the USDA is relatively new and perhaps hasn't caught on because it goes against the common belief that washing makes things clean, said Chapman. Benjamin Chapman, a study author and food safety expert at North Carolina State University, sand the instinct to wash raw poultry goes back at least decades when people relied more on visual clues to spot problems with poultry. Meanwhile, washing hands and surfaces are also important. But food preparation is a complicated act, and germs from poultry can be spread even if it`s not washed, especially when birds are removed from packaging.The USDA-funded study stresses that point. Researchers sprayed raw chicken with a harmless strain of E. coli （大肠杆菌）and watched volunteer cooks at test kitchens. Among those who washed their raw chicken, about a quarter ended up spreading the bacteria to their lettuce. But even some of those who did not rinse the chicken got germs on the lettuce. And there are other opportunities for germs to survive on turkeys: melting and cooking. To ensure a bird is thoroughly cooked, they say to use a thermometer to check that the deepest and thickest parts of it have reached 165 degrees. Even after the meal is cooked, you aren't out of the danger zone. To keep turkeys and other leftovers safe, experts say they should be refrigerated after two hours.30. People don't accept USDA's advice becauseA. the advice is relatively new.B. cooks clean the turkey before cooking it.C. heat can kill most germs and no one eats raw food.D. cleaning seems more trustworthy.31. What can be concluded from text?A. Germs from a turkey can be spread whether it is washed or not.B. Food packages carry germs.C. Hands and surfaces are easy to get E. coli.D. Multiple methods should be applied to food to get rid of germs.32. Which way may help to cook a turkey safely?A. Rinse off the turkey before it is heated.B. Keep the turkey away from the lettuce and refrigerator.C. Use a thermometer to check the temperature of the turkeyD. Wash hands and packages before taking out the turkey.33. From which section of a magazine is the text probably taken?A. Culture.B. Education.C. MedicineD. Science.10Food sometimes gets poisoned with harmful things. A person who cats such food can get an illness called food poisoning. Food poisoning is usually not serious, but some types arc deadly. The symptoms of food poisoning usually begin within hours of eating the poisoned food. Fever is one of the most common symptoms.Certain microorganisms cause most types of food poisoning. Bacteria and other microorganisms can poison eggs, meat, vegetables, and many other foods. After entering the body, these tiny living things release poisons that make people sick.Some chemicals can also cause food poisoning. They are often added to food while it is being grown, processed, or prepared. For example, many farmers spray chemicals on crops to kill weeds and insects. Some people may have a bad reaction to those chemicals when they eat the crops.Some plants and animals contain natural poisons that are harmful to people. These include certain kinds of seafood, grains, nuts, seeds, beans, and mushrooms. When people handle food properly, the risk of food poisoning is very small. Microorganisms increase rapidly in dirty places and in warm temperatures. This means that people should never touch food with dirty hands or put food on unwashed surfaces. Food should be kept in a refrigerator to stop microorganisms from growing. Meat needs to be cooked thoroughly to kill any dangerous microorganisms. People should also wash food covered with chemicals before eating it. Finally, people should not eat wild mushrooms or other foods that grow in the wild. Some of these foods may contain natural materials that are poisonous to humans. In addition, some types of fish can be poisonous.Most people recover from food poisoning after a few day of resting and drinking extra water. If people eatnatural poisons, they must go to the hospital right away to have their stomachs emptied.34. Which of the following statements is true?A. Food when poisoned cannot make people sick.B. Food poisoning comes in varieties.C. Food poisoning means death.D. Food poisoning is only caused by microorganisms.35. Which can describe the symptoms of food poisoning?A. They are always accompanied by a fever.B. They are too common to be noticed.C. They can be noticed within hours.D. They can he ignored.36. What can cause food poisoning according to the passage?A. All chemicals.B. Some tiny living things.C. Low temperature.D. All kinds of natural materials.37. What can we know from paragraph 5?A. Mushrooms should not be eaten.B. Vegetables arc safer than meat and seafood.C. Natural poisons are more dangerous than chemicals.D. Different types of food should be handled differently.11The line of cars waiting to receive boxes of fool from the Houston Food Bank can be up to a kilometer long. Based in the state of Texas, the organization is the country's largest food bank. It is offering huge amounts of food to workers who have lost their jobs and other people in need.Food provided by the Houston Food blank now averages about 800,000 pounds each day. The organization reached the one-million-pound mark for the first time in the spring. But before the coronavirus crisis, the group's average daily distribution was 450,000 pounds. Then, workers in Houston and millions around the country suddenly lost work and were forced to depend on the free food. Many people in Houston and around the country do not make a livable wage.Twenty-two million people across the country lost jobs when the coronavirus first hit. Nearly 11 million of those jobs have not yet been restored. Herman Henton, an unemployed construction worker, is among those receiving food. The family tried to get food stamps. But they were told they could only have $ 25 of federal food。

一、阅读理解（原创）The first public report on the novel coronavirus infection（传染）in China was the report of “unusual pneumonia (肺炎)” in Wuhan, Hubei province, at the end of December. At that time it was not identified as a coronavirus infection because it was a new disease.A diagnosis (诊断) is like a piece of detective work. Experts try to match patterns between what a patienth as and the patterns of known diseases. They then form a list of what is called “differential diagnoses”, andtests are conducted to confirm or refute (驳倒) certain diagnoses on that list.When something doesn’t fit anything at all, it could be a new dis ease or an unusual pattern of some known disease.Faced with (面对) a new disease, doctors face many difficulties and the task of diagnosing the disease is usually time- and energy-consuming（费时费力）.One can look to the Minamata disease, a neurological (神经学的) disorder, first discovered in Japan in 1956. At first, it was believed to be an infectious disease. Eight months later, it was determined that the disease was a result of mercury (水银) pollution in a river caused by a factory upstream (在上游).What this pandemic has taught us is the importance of cooperation (团结合作) among the people of the world. Assigning blame for the outbreak is not going to help in dealing with the crisis. International Cooperation in containing the spread of the virus and ultimately finding a cure is the answer.As John Donne, an English writer of the 16th century, once said, “No man is an island, entire of himself.” Imagine for a moment that those in the wealthier countries manage to contain the virus, and no help is given to those in the poorer countries. Because we are all interconnected, the virus would still spread back to those rich nations.China has initiated the overseas delivery of medical supplies and equipment to help fight the virus, only to earn suspicions of ulterior motives (别有用心).After World War II, the United States sent a lot of food aid to Asia. Was that done on humanitarian grounds or motivated by soft-power ambitions? Instead of pointing fingers at each other, we must operate as one people helping one another.If we don’t learn from our past mistakes, we are bound to repeat them. That would do great damage to the people of the world and be an affront (冒犯) to those who died in the pandemic.1.Why do we say the novel coronavirus may be a new disease?A. because it is hard to cure.B. because it spreads quickly.C. because it doesn’t match any known diseaseD. because many people infect it easily.2. The author takes the Minamata disease as an example to explain______.A. finding a new disease is not easyB．the novel coronavirus is an infectious disease。

一、阅读理解When Shanghai introduced a new garbage-sorting policy in July last year, the city’s residents (居民) took some time to get used to it. They joked that every time they took out their garbage, the staff (工作人员) standing by the bins would ask, “What kind of garbage are you?”Starting on May 1, Beijing joined many Chinese cities by introducing a new garbage-sorting policy, People’s Daily reported. Residents should sort their garbage into four groups: kitchen, recyclable, hazardous (有害的) and other waste.These groups are represented (代表) by four different colors of trash bins – green, blue, red and gray. Those who fail to sort their trash correctly may face fines of up to 200 yuan, Xinhua reported.The way Beijing sorts its trash sounds different from cities like Shanghai and Qingdao. These cities use four different groups: wet, recyclable, harmful and dry. Although their names are different, the groups are actually the same. Wet garbage in Shanghai is, in fact, kitchen garage. And dry garbage is the same as other waste, China Youth Daily reported.There are other environmentally-friendly changes coming to Beijing too. Restaurants will no longer be allowed to provide disposable tableware (一次性餐具) like wooden chopsticks. Hotels and restaurants will not be allowed to provide disposable products such as toothbrushes.To help residents sort their trash correctly, the Beijing government is offering online guidelines. If people don’t know how to throw away garbage, they can search for it on the WeChat account Guanchenglishi (管城理市) to find out. By searching a key word or taking a photo, people can immediately find out which group their waste belongs in.1. What do we know from this story?A. Garbage-sorting started in Beijing on May 1.B.

The last paragraph mainly explains _____.A. the government’s suggestions about garbage-sortingB. problems with Beijing’s garbage-sorting policyC. how to help residents sort their garbageD. actions we can take to protect the environment二、阅读理解Are you curious of looking up at the stars and wondering if there’s intelligent life out there? So isFive-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST, 500米口径球面射电望远镜), China’s mega-science (大科学) project and the world’s largest single-dish radio telescope.On April 28, FAST, nicknamed “China’s Eye of Heaven”, embarked on its search for extraterrestrial intelligence (ET, 外星生物).As the news went viral (走红) on social networking sites, someone commented saying: “Do not answer! Do not a nswer! Do not Answer!”It seems that The Three-Body Problem (《三体》), a science fiction novel by Chinese author Liu Cixin, has influenced minds so deeply that people are worried about the possibility of the Earth being invaded (入侵) by anadvanced extraterrestrial civilization.That worry is, at least for now, unnecessary. Of the 1,800 planets that have been discovered, less than 20 are capable of supporting life, and the nearest among them, Gliese 581, is 20.4 light-years away.According to Robin Ha nson’s Great Filter theory, there is less than a one in a million chance of any extraterrestrial life form evolving (进化) into higher intelligence or a civilization. And since their distance from China could even be millions or billions of light-years away, if they travel at the speed of light, it would take them at least millions of years to reach us.However, that does not mean FAST’s job is meaningless. As mankind’s most sensitive (敏感的) radio telescope, FAST can best collect signals from the universe. Researchers can distinguish even a 4 Hz difference in the signals received, meaning it can best distinguish between manmade and ET-made signals. Even the signals from a non-ET civilization are useful, because they might contain some hidden information leading to the discovery of new stars or planets.With FAST joining the cause, mankind can browse (搜索) the universe more deeply than ever before and increase knowledge about the universe. And whatever it achieves is the best evidence of China’s advanced technology in astronomy (天文学) and the study of the universe.1. What does the underlined phrase “embarked on” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. endedB. beganC. releasedD. continued2. What does the “Do not answer!” com ment show?A. The popularity of Liu Cixin’s book.B. Excitement at the news about FAST.C. People worrying about being attacked by ETs.D. The influence of science fiction novels on people.3. What do Paragraphs 5-6 want to tell us?A. What makes a planet suitable for intelligent life.B. People tend to worry much more than they need to.C. Extraterrestrial life forms will not threaten life on Earth.D. There is a slight possibility that an extraterrestrial civilization exists.4. What is the main idea of the last two paragraphs?A. The importance of FAST’s job.B. How FAST distinguishes between signals it collects.C. How the FAST radio telescope works.D. China’s advanced technology in astronomy.三、阅读理解Humans and AI can work together to make art more interesting.A special copyright (版权) case has recently drawn attention because it is related to (和......有关的) artificial intelligence (AI). A court (法庭) in Shenzhen ruled that a news report written by Tencent’s AI enjoys copyright protection. A website broke the law because it used the article without permission (允许).This is the first case in China that has provided copyright protection to work done by AI. But what does it indicate (表明)? Will AI take the place of creative workers in the future?Probably not. AI is not yet able to write creative stories. The news report mentioned (提到) above is mainly about data. Since AI is good at processing (处理) data, it is often used to write financial (金融的) reports. Some newspapers also use AI to report on stories about natural disasters (灾害), which mainly require (需要) basic facts such as “where” and “when”. As Forbes wrote, instead of losing their jobs, journalists can make their work more efficient (高效的) by using AI so that they can focus more on storytelling and less on numbers.AI is actually being helpful in many creative fields. For example, Wayne McGregor, a British choreographer (编舞), is famous for using AI to create new dances. For him, AI is a powerful tool that can help choreographers break out of common movements (动作). McGregor is not worried that AI might replace human artists. “AI can’t judge (判断) the quality (质量) of the choreography,” he said.“It’s time to stop worrying about if AI can be creative,” according to Forbes. Instead, we should fo cus on how humans and AI can work together in ways that we have never dreamed of before.1. According to the copyright case related to AI, we know that _____.A. AI can also break the law.B. news stories cannot be written by AI.C. articles written by AI also have copyright protection.D. AI can copy others’ articles without permission.2. Which kind of stories might AI be good at writing?A. Sci-fi stories.B. Disaster reports.C. Horror stories.D. Poems.3. Wayne McGregor agrees that _____.A. AI helps him do creative workB. AI can create new dances by itselfC. AI might replace human artistsD. AI can teach people how to dance4. Which of the following might be the author’s view?A. Many jobs will disappear due to AI.B. We should make laws for AI.C. AI is difficult to use.D. We should work together with AI.四、完形填空“Ne Zha” first caught people's eyes on 26th July, 2019.

——2020年1月2日。

白鲟(Chinese paddlefish)灭绝的报道被各大媒体转发，无数网友惋惜不已，保护野生动物已经成了我们人类的责任和义务。

一、阅读理解（原创）Most of us spend all day at school or work. After a long and busy day, all we want to do is return to a comfortable home. Smart technology can turn any home into a nicer place to live.Smart homes have been around for some time. Scottish company Pico Electronics invented a type of technology called X10 in 1975. It allows household devices (家用设备), such as lights and alarms, to communicate with each other by using radio waves (无线电波), according to AVSytemsMag, a specialized magazine in the audiovisual (AV, 视听的) and automation industry.Of course, 5G network connectivity has made smart homes much more sophisticated (复杂的) than X10. Perhaps the most widespread smart home technology is the voice-activated assistant (语音激活助手). Google Home and Amazon’s Alexa allow users to interact with nearly any device in their home simply by speaking a few words. This isespecially convenient for children and people with physical disabilities, as they can finish tasks that would normally be too difficult, according to How-To Geek.Common household appliances (家用电器) can become “smart” as well. For example, a smart trash bin can keep track of the things you’ve thrown away and place an online order for new item s, while smart refrigerators can create dinner recipes (菜谱) based on the vegetables that are being kept inside, according to HowStuffWorks.But it’s not just about convenience. Smart homes are also good for the environment. By regularly checking your energy use and automatically (自动地) turning off lights and other devices that you’re not using, smart homes can lower how much electricity you use overall. Using less energy means that we use fewer natural resources, which is good for the environment.1. X10 technology allows household devices to communicate by _____.A. using lightsB. using voicesC. using radio wavesD. connecting to a 5G network2. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Voice-activated assistants.B. How smart homes are built.C. The difference between X10 and 5G technologies.D.

X10 is created by a Scottish company.B.Smart refrigerators can cook your dinner based on the vegetables you have inside.C. The voice-activated assistant is more sophisticated smart home technology.D.A smart trash bin can place an online order for new items.4. How are smart homes better for the environment?A. They use recyclable household appliances.B. They are built with special materials.C. They have smart trash bins.D. They help us save energy.5.The article mainly tells us ______.A. how 5G develops.B. how to use 5G.C. how our home is like with the use of 5G.D. we also can be environmental with the use of 5G.二、阅读理解（原创）Chinese singer Zhou Shen, 27, has become more popular after appearing on the TV show Singer 《歌手》.

When the Joint Communique on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations 《中美建交公报》went into effect on Jan 1, 1979, the two countries began a friendship that stays deep to this day. Whether it’s stepped-up trade, shared entertainment markets (娱乐市场) or simply people-to-people exchanges, China and the US have helped each other grow and succeed.Trade and economy (经济)As the largest and second-largest economies in the world, the US and China have a strong economic relationship. They are both major trade partners for each other, exporting (出口) and importing (进口) billions of dollars worth ofgoods every year. As of October 2019, the total value of trade between both countries was nearly $468 billion (3.26 trillion yuan), according to US Census Bureau. Certain US products, such as high-end (高端) clothing and electronics brands (品牌), are in high demand (需求) in China. Likewise, China exports large amounts of manufactured (制造的) goods to the US, including clothing and industrial equipment (工业设备).EntertainmentAs the world’s fastest-growing film market, China is Ho llywood’s top target (目标) at the moment, withnew releases in China earning millions of dollars. Avengers: Endgame 《复仇者联盟4：终局之战》for example, earned $614 million (4.28 billion yuan) in China last year, according to Box Office Mojo. China, for its own part, is working to develop its own movie industry and send its films abroad. The sci-fi film The Wandering Earth 《流浪地球》, which came out last year, did quite well in the US. It became China’s third highest-grossing (票房最高的) film of all time with total worldwide earnings of nearly $700 million (4.88 billion yuan), according to Box Office Mojo.People-to-people exchangesThe US is a top choice for many Chinese students who wish to study abroad. US universities have welcomed record numbers of Chinese students in recent years, with the total number of students reaching 360,000 as of June 2019, according to the BBC. This has allowed students from both countries to gain a greater understanding of each other’s cultures. And, of course, there are those on both sides who choose to live and work in each other’s countries. Many Chinese researchers work in US labs (实验室), while in China, there are many US citizens working in fields ranging (范围) from journalism (新闻) to English education.1. China and the US formally established diplomatic relations in _____.A. 1949B. 1971C. 1979D. 20192.

The great achievement in trading between two countries.C.T The great achievement in culture between two countriesD. The great achievement in diplomacy between two countries.五、阅读理解COVID-19 has made people think harder about their relationship with nature. It has also raised questions about urban (城市的) lifestyles. The sharing economy (共享经济), working in open offices, living in crowded apartments and the food industry’s use of reusable products have made the perfect storm for a pandemic (大流行).Although the sharing economy might be good –it’s cheaper to rent than to own – sharing spaces and objects are great ways to spread the virus. How does one do “social distancing (和他人保持安全距离)” when they are expected to share cars, bikes, apartments and even the same offices?The trend (趋势) of using open offices, which can save space, is working against us. In this type of office, workers don’t have their own desk – everything is shared. Sometimes, computers and chairs are also shared, which is not hygienic (卫生的). Fortunately, more workers are working from home during the pandemic, b ut that won’t last forever.Reusability (循环利用) is a common practice in the restaurant industry. Reusable cups and chopsticks are often used. Unfortunately, reusable products increase the chance of spreading disease. For example, Starbucks recently stopped refilling (重新装满) customers’ reusable cups in order to stop the spread of the virus.People like to be social. But the virus has made this more dangerous. We have to be careful about how we interact (交往) with others for now. Perhaps we need to rethink about our lifestyles to reduce the spread of future pandemics.1. According to the author, the strong point of the sharing economy is that_____.A. it lasts longerB. it costs lessC. it’s popularD. it’s hygienic2. Paragraph 3 is mainly about _____.A. how working at home won’t last longB. how shared offices can save spaceC. the hygienic problems of open officesD. the sharing economy trend3.

The author probably agrees that _____.A. we need to change some of our lifestylesB. the sharing economy won’t last foreverC. no one can stay out of the sharing economyD. we shouldn’t stay away from shared products六、语法填空（原创）阅读下面短文，根据文章大意用所给单词的适当形式填空（未提供单词的.限填一词），使文章意思完整.正确.5G will make medical care more handy.All around the world, people struggle to get quality (优质的) healthcare.

He supports e-commerce and the new economy, which create jobs that never existed before.Every day in China, about 16,500 new enterprises(企业) are set up, and 40,000 people find new jobs in towns and cities.In total, China has created more than 80 million new urban jobs over the past seven years, equal to the entire German population.China now has the world's largest courier delivery(快递) service market, employing more than 3 million people, who send everything from meals to fridges around the country. Earlier this year, Xi paid a surprise visit to a tiny delivery station in Beijing and chatted with a group of deliverymen.This closeness to the people is not a singular event. For the past seven years, Xi has spent time with regular people before every Chinese New Year: giving them festival gifts, observing festive traditions such as food preparation, and asking about their lives and welfare."CPC members must wholeheartedly serve the people," Xi often reminds Party cadres.This connection with the people can be traced(追踪) back to a time when Xi lived and worked in a remotevillage in Shaanxi province as an adolescent and young adult for seven years.He has said that he understands the hardships of the people because he once lived in a poor corner of the country. He has been known to check the toilets and washrooms of ordinary homes, offer advice on garbage sorting, and show concern for students' poor eyesight.In 2013, Xi put forward "targeted poverty alleviation"(定向扶贫) and set a goal to eliminate(根除) extreme rural poverty by 2020, a deadline that is 10 years earlier than the goal set by the United Nations.Over the past seven years, more than 82 million Chinese people left poverty behind. Xi said extreme poverty "would be historically solved in the hands of our generation".Kishore Mahbubani, a professor at the National University of Singapore, said the most outstanding（杰出的）achievement of China in the last 70 years had been the dramatic improvement in the living conditions of the people.Reviewing China's long history, Mahbubani said even at previous peaks of glory, the bottom 50 percent of the population had to struggle to make ends meet. But today even low-income people have access to nutritious food, education, healthcare, housing, employment and even the ability to travel."There is no doubt that, in terms of the living conditions of the people, the past 70 years have been the best years in China's history," he said.1.Why does President Xi say he supports e-commerce and the new economy?A. because e-commerce and the new economy is very completely new for us all.B. because they can offer lots of chances to get jobs for many people.C．because they existed before.D. because they can make people rich quickly.2. What’s the population of Germany?A. more than 80 millionB. 80 millionC. less than 80 m illionD. I don’t know3.

Analysts expect（分析人士预计）this year’s target will continue to be a feasible（可行的）one, and withstronger boosting measures（更有力的促进措施下）, China could achieve growth faster than that of all other major economies, Xinhua noted.In the two sessions, national lawmakers and political advisers will be discussing how to strive for（争取）good performances（业绩）in all areas of economic and social development while implementing regular epidemic prevention and control measures, according to Xinhua.Meanwhile, to ensure public health safety, some arrangements for the session have been adjusted（调整）.According to Xinhua, the duration of the session has been shortened from two weeks to about one.

It is a move that aims to help the national political advisers learn more about the opinions of the public before they gather in Beijing.“The new platform has helped the public share their ideas with CPPCC members on China’s major political, economic and social issues at the annual meeting,” according to China Daily.1.From the paragraph ,we know this year’s two sessions will last for______.A, about one week B, about one month C. about two weeks D. about three weeks2.The most important topic of this year’s two sessions is _______.A. how to ensure public health safety.B. how to build a moderately prosperous society and achieve its development goals.C. how to ward off coronavirus risks.D. how to take in political advisers’ proposals (提案).3.In order to ensure public safety, how many adjustments have been made to the two sessions this yearA. oneB. twoC. threeD. four4.Which aspects are “unusual” about this year's two sessions except______.A.

备战2021年中考英语考前时事热点话题阅读+题型专练热点13在线学习及其利弊分析一、阅读理解1In February2020,children couldn’t go to school because of Novel coronavirus(新型冠状病毒).In order not to delay the children’s learning,many schools decided to begin online teaching activities.Online teaching can be said to be a more effective learning method when the school is not open,which can not only avoid cross-infection(交叉感染),but also provide learning opportunities for children.However,there are many students and parents do not like online teaching.They think there are more disadvantages than advantages.Do you know the reasons?There are many advantages about online teaching.The biggest one is that it can be practiced over and over again,and the operation is very simple,just need to record the video of the teacher’s class.Another advantage of online teaching is its novelty(新奇).Children like novelty,and the long-term step-by-step way of attending classes in the classroom makes some students tired of learning.However,in the short term,online teaching can stimulate(激发)children’s interest in learning,and even help develop their independent learning ability.There are also many disadvantages.First,the biggest one is the lack of interaction(缺乏互动).Although there are a lot of online teaching software,and teachers can see the students through the camera and communicate with them by voice.But can the teachers and students interact well?Of course they can’t.Second,online teaching is difficult to know the students’learning situation well.Third,some students use online classes as an excuse to play mobile phones or games.There is also a big disadvantage about online teaching:children need to look at a screen for a long time.It must be bad for their eyes.According to a netizen,the online teaching schedule in a school is from8a.m.to4p.m, with a2-hour break at noon.Can a child’s eyes stand looking at a screen for so long?1.Why did some schools begin online teaching?A.Because it can be practiced over and over again.B.Because children’s study may be affected and in order to avoid cross-infection.C.Because online teaching is novelty and children love novelty.D.Because it can stimulate children’s interest in learning and help develop their independent learning ability.2.How many disadvantages are mentioned in the passage?A.2B.3C.4D.53.Which is TRUE according to the passage?A.The students and parents don’t like online teaching.B.There are more advantages than disadvantages.C.Teachers and students can interact well through online teaching.D.According to a netizen,students have to study online for six hours a day.4.What do you think can be the title for the passage?A.Online Teaching--A good way to studyB.A New War with a New ChanceC.The Advantages And Disadvantages Of Online TeachingD.A Method to

improvement in results.Nine-year-old Samia says she enjoys the online lessons.She said,“It helps me because sometimes when we’re doing it in class,I don’t hear the teacher very much and I don’t understand,but online is better.”Tom Hooper started the company.It provides the online tutoring.The company is called Bright SparkEducation.Children today feel very confident(有信心的)online,so they enjoy their learning.Online tutoring costs between twenty and twenty-five dollars an hour.An online tutor is about half the cost of traditional face-to-face tutoring.Bright Spark Education says the online tutoring is used only as an addition to the regular teaching.The company says its service doesn’tthreatthe teachers’jobs in Britain.Some parents say they are pleased with the results.But some students still hate math.Even with the latest technology(技术)to teach it,math is still not everyone’s favorite subject.5.Why does Samia like to learn online?_________A.Because the tutor is only for her.B.Because she likes playing on the screen.C.Because it’s cool.D.Because she can hear the tutor clearly.6.How much do you have to pay for learning for two hours online at

for free online.To their surprise,more than160,000students in190countries took their classes.This led them to build ,the first website for MOOC.In less than a year,other MOOC websites,such as and ,were also set up.MOOC is different from usual online learning.Professors have been trying to keep it similar to a real class. You should sign up(报名)to take the class.You can communicate with other students in many different ways.You have to answer some questions when you watch videos,and you will have some homework to do after class.If you take the class on time,do all the homework,and pass the final test,you can get a certificate(证书)in the end.Some people believe MOOC will change the traditional education style.In the future,anyone at any age in any place can take classes for free.These classes are all from the best teachers of the best universities in the world!9.When did Sebastian and Peter start their

to reconnect.It wasted lotsof time.Since then,I have checked my network before class every day and asked other familymembers not to use the internet while I'm in class.Qiu Ziyin,ShenzhenDuring the first day of studying online,I was excited and listened carefully.But I soonrealized that my self-discipline(自律)was weak.I've set screen time for all of my electronicdevices.At night,I do preview(预习)work for the next day instead of playing with my mobilephone.Zhao Jiawen,ShanghaiIt's important to know how to choose wisely when we pick online courses.For example,Ihad difficulty understanding certain English grammar points,so I searched for key words on ournational cloud learning platform and watched several videos from teachers across China.It's goodfor us to get different teachers.Zhang Penghui,HeilongjiangOnline learning takes strong self-discipline and willpower.There are lots of distractions(分心)while studying at home.My mom likes to offer me snacks and drinks,which

their horizons(拓宽视野).They can learn from their peers(同伴)studying in the city.“I remember that a topic in English class was about volunteering.”said Wan Jinyuan,“Students shared a lot about their own experiences.But it was hard for me to talk about it because I had little experience.It encouraged me to do more.”But students don’t completely rely on online course.They still interact with(和……互动)teachers.In fact,the teachers edit(剪辑)the videos before using them.“I cut off some parts,like the discussion parts,”said Zhang Xiaomin,Wang’s English teacher.“I will let my students discuss for themselves,rather than only watch.Then,if necessary,I will show them what their peers said in their discussions.We benefit(受益)a lot from it.”Teachers further explain key points that students don’t

First，it is a good idea to prepare well for online learning.You can write down daily tasks and even weekly tasks that you want to complete.By doing so，you will have a good plan for achieving your goals.Second，you should spend as much time online as if you were going to regular courses.Also，always try to set aside extra time to communicate with other students.Besides this，any post you put up online shows who you are.So make sure that you homework on time so that you don’t fall behind.42.What is important if you want to study online?43.What is the advantage of online learning?44.What is the other role of an online professor besides guiding discussion?45.How many good suggestions about good learning habits are there in the passage?46.How do you like online learning?（请自拟一句话作答）。

The following ten holidays per year are proclaimed by the federal government.Independence DayIndependence Day is annually celebrated on July 4 and is often known as "the Fourth of July”. It is the anniversary of the publication of the declaration of independence from Great Britain in 1776. Now it is celebrated in all the states. The army marks the occasion by firing a 13-gun salute every year. Ceremonies may include parades, official speeches, visits to historic monuments and fireworks displays.Memorial DayThis holiday, on the fourth Monday of every May, is a day on which Americans honor the dead. Originally a day on which flags and flowers were placed on graves of soldiers who died in the American Civil War, now it has become a day on which the dead of all wars and all other dead are remembered the same way.Veterans DayVeterans Day was established to honor Americans who had served in World War I. It falls on November 11, the day when that war ended in 1918, but it now honors veterans of all wars in which the United States has fought Veterans' organizations hold parades or other special ceremonies, and the US president customarily places a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National.ThanksgivingThanksgiving Day is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. It has been an annual tradition in the United States since 1863. Today, people celebrate Thanksgiving to remember these early days. The most important part of the celebration is a traditional dinner. Thanksgiving dinner almost always includes some ofthe foods served at the first feast: roast turkey, cranberry sauce potatoes pumpkin pies. Before the meal begins, families often pause to give thanks.12. When is Independence Day?A. May 14，B. July 13.C. July 14.D. July 4.13. Which holiday honors dead soliders?A. Independence Day.B. Memorial Day.C. Veterans Day.D. Thanksgiving.14. What will Americans do on Thanksgiving Day?A. They say thanks.B. They have friend gatherings.C. They go on holiday.D. They buy many cards.5Cinco de Mayo is probably the holiday most often celebrated that no one understands.Literally (根据字面意思) “Fifth of May”, Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican Holiday celebrating the Battle of Puebla, which took place on May 5, 1862. In 1861, France sent a big army to invade Mexico, as they wanted to collect some war debts. The French army was much larger, better trained and equipped than the Mexicans struggling to defend (保卫) the road to Mexico City. The French army reached Puebla, where the Mexicans won a huge victory. The victory was short-lived, as the French army regrouped and continued, and eventually took Mexico City, but the joy of an unlikely victory against France is remembered every May fifth.Mexico celebrates its independence on September 16, because it was on that day in 1810 that Father Miguel Hidalgo invited his people to take up arms and join him in fighting against Spanish rulers. Independence Day is a much more important holiday in Mexico. For some reason, Cinco de Mayo is celebrated more in the United States of America, by Mexicans and Americans alike, than it is in Mexico. One theory for why it is more popular in the USA is that at one time, it was celebrated in all of Mexico and by Mexicans living in former Mexican areas such as Texas and California. It was ignored in Mexico after a while but still celebrated in the north of the border, which never got out of the habit of remembering the famous battle.In Puebla and in many American cities with large Mexican populations, there are parades, dancing and festivals. Traditional Mexican food is often served or sold. Mariachi (街头音乐) bands fill town squares, and a lot of beers are served. It’s a fun holiday, really more about celebrating the Mexican way of life than about remembering the battle which happened 156 years ago. In the USA, schoolchildren decorate their classrooms and try their hand at cooking some basic Mexican food. All over the world, Mexican restaurants bring in mariachi bandsand offer specials for w hat’s almost certain to be a packed house.15. According to the text, people celebrate Cinco de Mayo because ______.A. Mexicans paid off their war debtsB. Mexicans succeeded in defending Mexico CityC. Mexicans gained independence from SpanishD. Mexicans defeated the French army in Puebla16. Why do more Americans celebrate Cinco de mayo?A. Because some American areas once belonged to Mexico.B. Because Americans are influenced by Mexican culture.C. Because Mexicans don’t form the habit of having a hol iday.D. Because many Mexicans value Independence Day.17. How can schoolchildren celebrate Cinco de Mayo?A. By performing music at restaurants.B. By trying making some Mexican food.C. By turning the classroom into a battlefield.D. By offering special gifts to their teachers.6A new study suggests some of America’s favorite Independence Day fireworks can give out lead and copper (铜), which are used to give fireworks their vivid colors, and also damage human cells and animal lungs.Led by researchers at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, the study showed poisonous levels of lead in two of 12 samples of commercially-available fireworks. Experiments using human tissue showed that lung exposure to particle emissions (颗粒排放物) from five types of fireworks significantly increased oxidation (氧化), a chemical process in the body that can damage or even kill cells.The researchers say the new study, published online in the journal Particle and Fibre Toxicology, is believed to be the first to examine the effects of firework exposure in human cells and living animals, and to test for particles of common firework metals thrown into the atmosphere.“While many are careful to protect themselves from injury from explosions, our results suggest that inhaling firework smoke may cause, longer-term physical damage, a risk that has been largely ignored,” says study senior author Terry Gordon, PhD, a professor in the Department of Environmental Medicine.Gordon and his team also analyzed 14 years’ worth of air quality samples taken at dozens of sites across the US by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) throughout each year. They found that levels of poisonous metals were higher in samples taken on Independence Day and New Year’s Eve celebrations than at any other time of the ye ar. Along with lead, copper and other poisonous metals are commonly found in fireworks. “Our research shows that although we are only exposed to these poisonous substances for a short time each year, they are much more poisonous than the pollutants we brea the every day,” says Gordon.Gordon cautions that the current investigation is a first step, only addressing the potential effects of one-time exposure to the firework metals. He says repeated exposure is likely a larger concern. Nevertheless, he is planning to share his findings with local health officials, firework producers, the Environmental Protection Agent, and other regulatory agents to alert them to the potential for harm.18. Why do some fireworks harm our health?A. They can give out harmful metals.B. They are exposed to particle emissions.C. They are significantly oxidized in the air.D. They can melt chemical substances in the body.19. What does the underlined word “inhaling” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Letting out.B. Blowing off.C. Taking in.D. Integrating into.20. What can we infer from Gordon’s research findings?A. Fireworks are the main cause of air pollution.B. Air quality on New Year’s Eve is above normal.C. People breathe in poisonous air for a short time daily.D. Air pollution on Independence Day is worse than usual.21. What does Gordon intend to do with firework-related personnels?A. Remind them not to set off fireworks.B. Caution them against producing metals.C. Warn them of the possible dangers of fireworks.D. Alert them to the potential harm of the experiment.7On June 16, 2020, Virginia governor Ralph Northam made an announcement. The state would move torecognize June 19, or Juneteenth, as a paid state holiday. The next day, New York governor Andrew Cuomo tweeted that he' d do the same in his state. This makes Virginia and New York the latest states to officially honor Juneteenth. Now, at least 45 out of 50 states, plus Washington, D. C. , recognize Juneteenth. “We became independent in 1776. Every year as a nation, we mark the Fourth of July Independence Day," Northam said during a press conference. “But that freedom we celebrate did not include everyone.Learning more about the holiday means going back in history to the Civil War. On January 1, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln delivered the Emancipation Proclamation ( 解放黑人奴隶宣言). His speech declared freedom for enslaved people. The Civil War ended more than two years later，in April 1865. The Union won. But there were many enslaved people who had not been told of this. On June 19, Union soldiers told crowds in Galveston, Texas, that the state' s 250 ,000 enslaved people were free. They were among the last to find out. The day became known as Juneteenth, which refers to June and 19th and is sometimes called Emancipation Day. Over the years, as black people from Galveston moved to different cities, the celebration spread slowly. And in the 1960s, the civil rights movement brought a really wider awareness of Juneteenth because it broke out all over the country.It's believed that such a holiday helps educate people about what happened in the past. Sheila Jackson Lee represents Texas in the US House of Representatives. Earlier this week, she introduced a bill to Congress, which asks for national recognition of the holiday. Juneteenth has been celebrated in a variety of ways people can choose from. Usually, there are community gatherings, cookouts, and festivals.22. What did Northam mean by saying the underlined part in Paragraph 1?A. Not every American state accepted Juneteenth.B. Americans should show respect for each other.C. Black people should unite to get more freedom.D. Slavery still existed after the fourth of July in 1776.23. Which of the following is home to Juneteenth celebrations?A. Washington, D. C.B. Texas.C. Virginia.D. New York.24. What made Juneteenth spread across the country?A. President Lincoln’s proclamation.B. Black people’s living in big cities.C. American civil rights movement.D. Freedom Day' s being recognized.25. What is the real function of Juneteenth in Sheila' s opinion?A. To remember the history.B. To set a paid state holiday.C. To have richer celebrations.D. To give people more choices.8A holiday is any day when people lay aside their ordinary duties and cares. The word came from Old English. At first, holidays honored some holy events or persons. People in Great Britain and other countries speak of holidays as Americans speak of vacations.Every nation has its special holidays.

一、阅读理解The Beijing 2022 Winter Games are set to start this February. You probably won’t be able to watch the events in person, but don’t worry, cuttingedge（尖端）technologies will offer you a great gamewatching experience.With the support of 5G and cloud technologies, ordinary viewers will have the chance to enjoy the world’s clearest broadcast technology, 8K broadcast in ultrahigh definition (超高清晰度), from TV sets.Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS) CloudA solid system for rebroadcasting（转播）Olympic events is the key to making sure that more people enjoy the toplevel petition. Traditionally, rebroadcasting is requiring expensive broadcasting trucks and lots of production directors. But now, by cooperating with OBS, the Organizing mittee has built an intelligent cloud network, which can collect all onspot ultrahighdefinition (超高清晰度) video, edit video materials and transmit them into multichannel signals suited for TV or Internet video platforms or broadcasting in real time. Broadcasters and producers don’t need to go to the scene and can further enhance（加强）the video by adding graphics (图表) or text remotely, which helps with pandemic prevention efforts. Also, an onsite reporter can now use one small camera or a smartphone to livestream a sports event.“Free visual angle” technologiesAs speed and visual (视觉的) effects are two important characteristics of ice and snow sports, the Beijing 2022 organizers also developed many technologies to give p eople “immersive” （沉浸式）experiences with 360degree replay and “free visual angle (自由视角)” technologies. In the Wukesong Sports Center, dozens of cameras are set around the venue（场馆）to shoot petitions from different angles at the same time. Using a phoneapp, viewers can choose different viewing angles to watch the events. QR codes will be provided for the viewers to better interact and enjoy the events up close.What’s more, viewers can watch highdefinition broadcasts on VR devices. Although they attend the events virtually online, they feel as if they were at the venue.AIpowered sign language anchorOn Nov 24, CCTV and Baidu AI Cloud announced the launch of CCTV’s first AI sign language anchor (手语主播). The anchor will help cover the Beijing Winter Olympics.The Baidu AI Cloud uses many technologies such as speech recognition (识别) and machine translation to build a plex and accurate (精确的) sign language translation engine（翻译引擎）. This enables the translation of text, sound and video into sign language.Now, the AI anchor appears as a young woman with a friendly and natural disposition (性情). It can also be shown in other styles such as anime, 2D and 3D.Used by this technology, the AI sign language anchor will help all people（including people with hearing loss）better enjoy the great winter event.1. What mainly offers you a great gamewatching experience？A. Virtual reality technologies.B. Data visualization technologies.C. 5G networks and cloud technologies.D. Intelligent information processing technologies.2. What can we know about OBS Cloud?A. It helps editors select useful information.B. It can effectively reduce human contact.C. It helps strengthen the clarity of videos.D. It can generate relevant data analysis.3. How does Wukesong Sports Center give viewers immersive experiences?A. By recording 8K onsite videos.B. By broadcasting the events in real time.C. By shooting an event from every angle.D. By providing different ways of interaction for the viewer.4. Which of the following statements is true？A．The rebroadcasting of this Winter Olympics requires expensive radio trucks and lots of production directors.B. AI sign language anchor only helps deaf people better enjoy the great winter event.C. Speed and sound effects are two important characteristics of ice and snow sportsD. Reporters can use one small camera or a smartphone to livestream a sports event.二、阅读理解“Water Cube” has been transformed into “Ice Cube”.The National Aquatics Center, also known as the “Water Cube”, was built to host aquatic (水上运动的) events for the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympic Games. Since then, it has bee an iconic (标志性的) Olympics structure, known across the world.Now, the stadium will also host the curling (冰壶) events for the Beijing 2022 Winter Games. So how can we turn the “Water Cube” into the “Ice Cube”?The most important change is to turn the swimming pool into a fourlane (四道的) curling rink (冰场).The water will be drained (抽干) from the pool. Then, 2,600 Hshaped steel columns will go inside the pool. They will hold up a flat surface. The surface will be covered in a special insulating (隔热的) material. Finally, a sheet (一片) of ice goes on top.It is the first time in the Olympics that curling petitions will be held on a sheet of movable ice. By transforming (改造) venues instead of building new ones, a great deal of money and energy will be saved. It is a good example of China’s goal to hold a “green” Olympics.In fact, green technology is also being used. The National Speed Skating Oval (NSSO, 国家短道速滑中心), known as the “Ice Ribbon”, is the only newlybuilt ice sports venue for the Games. The NSSO has a greener way to make ice. Traditionally, freon (氟利昂) is used as a coolant to make ice. But freon harms Earth’s ozone layer (臭氧层). The new technology uses CO2 instead. For the Ice Ribbon, with an ice surface area of 12,000 square meters, its effect (效果) in reducing carbon emissions is equal to planting over 1.2 million trees.The new icemaking technology can precisely (精确地) control ice temperatures and will be helpful to ensure a standardized (标准化的) hardness of ice surfaces. It will also significantly (显著地) save electricity during ice making. The new technology will also be used in other ice venues including Capital Indoor Stadium and Wukesong Sports Center.1.Why should we turn the “Water Cute” into the “Ice cute”?A.

Bing Dwen Dwen, a panda in an ice shell, was chosen as the official mascot for the Beijing 2022 Winter Games back in 2019. Now you can find this mascot in the form of fluffy (毛茸茸的) toys and models. Bing Dwen Dwen is also printed onscarves, notebooks, badges and bags.“The International Olympic mittee (IOC) found that for mascots to be successful they had to be cu te and liked by 9yearolds,” said Cao Xue, the chief designer of Bing Dwen Dwen. “And I know Bing Dwen Dwen would be.” Cao’s team was from Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts. They once made three designs and he asked his 9yearold son to choose his favorite. “At first glance, he chose Bing Dwen Dwen, which became the final mascot,” Cao noted.According to Cao, Bing Dwen Dwen was chosen from 5,816 designs from 38 countries and regions. The idea first came from a traditional Chinese snack bingtanghulu – fruit coated in syrup (糖浆), which turned into the ice shell in his design.However, a simple snack cannot stand for a country by itself. Cao’s team then tried many plants and animals, finally going with a panda. “What can better stand for China than our national treasure (宝藏)?”said Cao. “We don’t need to explain anything to have it understood across differ ent cultures.”However, there were already too many cartoon images of pandas out there so the mascot needed to be different. Cao first decided that it should be a baby panda instead of an adult one.This is how they got Bing Dwen Dwen’s body shape. Its body has the same length (长度) as its head.“If we say artists are like actors who present themselves, designers are actors who have to fit into different roles,” Cao said. “Doing designs is like dancing with chains. I’m glad we performed a good dance.”Cao’s team then collected all the panda designs they could find across the world to avoid similarities. They even visited the panda nature reserve (保护区) in Wolong, Sichuan, to look for inspiration(灵感). They found that baby pandas walk pigeontoed (内八字) and often lean while standing.“When we finally got Bing Dwen Dwen, our whole team was over the moon,” said Cao. “Now I can’t wait to see it greet the world at the Winter Games opening ceremony.”1.When was Bing Dwen Dwen chosen as the mascot of the Winter Olympics?A. in 2019B.in 2020C. in 2021 C. in 20222.

The experience inspired his passion for the Olympics and volunteering. Now, the 35yearold is in charge of recruitment (招聘) at the Volunteer Department of the Beijing 2022 Organizing mittee.“Beijing is making history as the first city in the world to have hosted both the Summer and Winter Olympics. I’m honored to have taken part in both,” said Han. “Being a volunteer is different from organizing volunteers, but both are great experiences. The former requires passion while the latter needs more thinking and planning, especially as we’re facing many new challenges.”Because of COVID19, volunteers need to be quarantined (隔离) after the test events held before Feb 4, as well as after the Winter Olympics and Paralympics. This means they have to dedicate more time to volunteering. With around 90 percent of the volunteers being university students, according to Han, this could affect their schoolwork.So Han’s team has worked together with schools to support the students as much as possible.The organizing mittee launched the Global Recruitment Programme for Games Volunteers on Dec 5, 2019. It also worked directly with schools. “For example, volunteers from Tsinghua University take charge of the National Stadium, while those from Peking University take care of the National Aquatics (水上运动) Center (or Water Cube),” Han said.The cold weather is another challenge, with some events being held outdoors. The outdoor volunteers need to go through training, such as a 15kilometer walking exercise, to better prepare them for their work. The organizing mittee also provides warm clothes.Ding Boyang, a 19yearold sophomore (大二学生) at Beijing Jiaotong University, has taken this training. He has pleted rehearsals (排练) and quarantine to be a volunteer who guides traffic at the National Indoor Stadium where ice hockey (冰球) events will be held.V olunteers like Ding have pleted more than 30 training sessions online. These include sessions on health and safety, Englishlanguage skills, epidemic (传染病) control protocols (协议) and how to serve people with disabilities. V olunteers must also know skills related to their specific posts and venues (场地), and have knowledge of winter sports, the Olympics and the city of Beijing. They also learn to manage their emotions as volunteers need to deal with many different people. They might also experience stress while in quarantine. V olunteers are assessed (评定) at test events before the Olympics take place.According to Ding, tasks for volunteers are “specific and may seem trivial (琐碎的)”, but “all essential to the successful running of the Winter Games”. “I felt proud to help the world better understand China,” he added.1.What do we know about Han Qian?A. He has been working at the National Stadium since 2008.B. He is experienced in training outdoor volunteers for the Olympics.C. He is responsible for recruiting volunteers for the ing Olympics.D.

Why does the author mention Ding’s story in the last three paragraphs?A. To outline（概述）the challenges of voluntary work.B. To describe how the Olympic volunteers are trained.C. To show the importance of the Olympic volunteers.D. To inspire more students to bee volunteers.五、阅读理解After about five years of hard work, the National Alpine Skiing Center（国家高山滑雪中心）in the Yanqing petition zone is ready for skiers to pete. Its blueprint (蓝图) came from Liang Xu and other architects (建筑师) from the China Architecture Design and Research Group.On the southern slopes (坡) of Xiaohaituo Mountain, the center has seven main ski runs that total about 9.4 kilometers. All of the ski trails (雪道) total 21 km, with the largest vertical (垂直的) drop at about 900 meters.The highlight of the center is that its trails match the surroundings and the local enviro nment. “We aim to impact (影响) the environment – mountains and plants –as little as possible,” said Liang. “It is consistent (一致的) with a traditional Chinese idea – harmony between man and nature (天人合一).”The alpine skiing trails are dangerous. Their average slope is about 17 degrees (度), with some even over 34 degrees. When picking proper slopes to build trails, architects prefer those that don’t need too much construction (建设) work. “We aim for a balance between the soil (土壤) we remove and the soil we fill in,” Liang said. “In other words, you dig up some soil here, but you can use it to fill other places. We try to reduce the amount of soil that needs to be removed.”Architects also borrowed some ideas from traditional Chinese architecture. In the southern part of China,stilted buildings (吊脚楼) are mon in mountain areas. “It’s a very smart way. The houses are built above poles (柱子) so that they don’t destroy the mountain bodies,” Liang said. Inspired by this, they built some stilted platforms (平台) and houses for media workers and volunteers. All of them were constructed with removable steel ponents (可拆卸的钢结构组件). “After the events, they can be easily removed. The mountains can stay as they were before,” said Liang.In general, the trails look like the wings of a flying swallow (燕子), known as “xuefeiyan”. “It matches the alpine skiing events. We are looking forward to skiers ‘flying’ through the mountains as swiftly (敏捷地) as swallows,” said Liang.1. What do we learn about the ski center from the text?A. It was designed by Liang Xu and other architects.B. It was ready for winter sports 5 years ago.C. It has seven 900meterlong tracks.D. It’s on the northern slopes of Xiaohaituo Mountain.2.

After three years of training, Wang has already mastered the basics and is preparing to learn more plicated jumps and spins (旋转).“Figure skating fascinated me with its grace and skill. Encouraged by my parents, I made up my mind to try it out,” said Wang.Figure skating is one of the most anticipated (令人期待的) sports at the Beijing Winter Games. Back in the 18th century in the UK, the sport was popular among the aristocracy (贵族). They liked to take to frozen ponds and lakes on rough (粗糙的) handforged blades (冰刀) to have fun. Gradually, more skating enthusiasts from Germany, the United States and Canada followed suit. In the 1860s, Jackson Haines, a US ballet dancer and skater, used more artistic moves like pirouettes (脚尖旋转) and dramatic jumps to make the sport less formal.Figure skating became a Winter Olympics event in 1924. On a 60m by 30m rectangular ice rink, skaters wearing eyecatching trousers, tights or skirts perform various movements. Skaters must plete two ponents: short program and free skate. In the short program, they need to finish specified (指定的) movements like jumps and spins. For the about fourminute free skate, they choreograph (编舞) intricate (复杂的) and challenging moves including footwork, jumps or lifts acpanied by a musical track of their own design.Figure skating requires the athletes to focus on both technic al and performance aspects of skating. “A really good skater needs to be able to look effortless when they perform their elements. Without strength, courage and years of practice, it’s really hard to achieve that goal and make an emotional connection with viewers,” Olympic gold medalist and US retired skater Scott Hamilton told CNN. “And that’s what I liked about it.”Attracted by its charm, many Chinese athletes have stepped onto the international figure skating stage in the past decades. For example, at the 2010 Winter Olympics, skating duo (双人组) Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo won China’s first gold medal in the sport, breaking Russia’s 12 Olympic gold medal winning streak (连胜). At the2021 International Skating Union Grand Prix series, skating duo Sui Wenjing and Han Cong took home the gold medal.1.What is the function of Wang Yihan 's story at the beginning of the article?A.

It became an event in the Olympics to honor Jackson Haines.D. Artistic moves were added to figure skating to make it less formal.3. Which of the following is true about the figure skating program for the Winter Olympics?A. Rinks of different sizes are used.B. Skaters can participate only as individuals.C. It involves the short program and the free skate.D. The movements of skaters have to be inventive.4. What is the author’s purpose in quoting（引用）Scott Hamilton’s words?A. To mention the dangers of figure skating.B. To introduce what it takes to succeed as a skater.C. To attract a new generation to the sport.D. To give tips to skaters who will participate in the ing Olympics.七、阅读理解Chinese athletes were highlighted by a series of inspirational wins in the International Ski Federation’s World Cup circuit re cently. China’s Gu Ailing, a Chinese freestyle talent, made history by being the first ever backtoback free ski World Cup winner in two different events at the same venue after claiming the slopestyle title in Calgary, Canada, on Feb.15, 2020. The day before, Gu had stormed to her first Cup gold in the halfpipe petition.Gu again thrilled the crowds on Feb.15 in the slopestyle with another impressive display of technical riding, landing a string of difficult tricks, including a massive right 900°twist with a tail grab in her second run that earned her 89.18 points to dominate the 18strong field.“Honestly, my mind is blown,” Gu told the FIS website after the petition. “ing in I didn’t have any expectations. I try not to take anything for granted. Honestly, I could not have expected two wins from these events.”“I really just came in trying to do my best and ski the way I knew I could. Skiing my best is really the best part of this, and being rewarded for it just makes it even better.”Born to a Chinese mother and an American father in San Francisco, US, Gu, better known as Eileen in the States, pleted a naturalization process last June to represent China in international petitions.Now she has her sights set on doing her mother’s home country proud at the 2022 Beijing Games.A talented skier who has won many national junior titles in the US, Gu became a hit last month after winning two golds and a silver — in halfpipe, Big Air and slopestyle — at her first appearance in Winter Youth Olympics in Lausanne, Switzerland.With Gu now on board in freeski, China’s snow sports team, which also features worldclass aerial skiers and halfpipe snowboarders, is determined to challenge Western dominance on the snow in 2022.1.

备战2021年中考英语考前时事热点话题阅读+题型专练热点13 健康消费心理的重要性一、阅读理解1How important is shopping to you? How much time do you spend buying things? In the future, how much time will you spend in movie theaters, at shopping malls, or at convenience stores (便利店)? When you add it all up, you will probably see you spend a lot of your life consuming (消费) things. Consuming products is not bad. However, if we spend too much time doing it, we should look at it carefully.Imagine (想象) that you have a week off from school. However, in this week, you cannot spend any money —no shopping, no movies, no eating out. How would you spend your time? What things would bring you happiness? Perhaps you would take a walk with your best friend. Perhaps you would help a child read. Or you might spend time with your family.When we look back, it is likely that non-consuming experiences (经历) like these will be our most important memories (记忆). Why? Non-consuming activities are active. They don’t come in a package (包裹). You make the experience yourself. For example, each person who reads to a child will have different experience. The experience changes with the reader, the child, and the book. However, if you watch a movie with friend, you will each have a packaged experience.Now we have lots of such packaged experiences. We feel that we must consume because we believe that buying is doing. However, we can start a personal revolution (变革) against consumerism (消费主义). How? By consuming less. We can ask ourselves what experiences bring us the greatest satisfaction. Then we can organize (组织) our lives so that we have more of those kinds of experiences.1.

They all had beautiful and fashionable saddle shoes(马鞍鞋). I looked down at my black leather oxfords(牛津鞋) and hated them. I also wanted to have shoes like theirs very much.One day, when I passed by store with mother and sudd enly saw the kind of shoes sale, “ Mom, look at these beautiful shoes. They re only $2.98. It is very cheap,” I said, “Can we buy them? All the girls are wearing them,” I added.Mom looked sad and I thought she was going to cry, but she told me our family finances(经费) were tight then. “Right now, it's all we can do to pay the rent and eat,” she said, giving me a hug. “Things will get better. You will see.”I almost cried, but I didn't ask again. Still, I had to have those shoes!The next morning, I was downstairs early and told Mom I wanted to go to school early to help my teacher. Every day I was late returning home, too, but she thought I was spending time with my friends. Instead, each day I was pocketing the bus fare. After a month, I showed Mom the $3 I had saved.She didn't scold me for my cheating, and she agreed to buy the new saddle shoes.In fact, in our life, if you want to change something, you should try to change it.When you try your best to do it, you will find it very easy to succeed.8.

Then he sees a boy in a wheelchair (轮椅). He notices that the boy moves the wheelchair with his hands. Tom looks at him carefully and is surprised to see the boy has no feet.

Do you think you can’t spend a coin on that day?This holiday encourages people to stop buying thing. It began in the l990s in Vancouver, Canada. It was the idea of a man named Kalle Lasn. After working for many years in advertising(广告业)，Lasn began to question the ways advertisers influenced people to buy things. Lasn knows that people need to buy things. They have to buy things to eat，live and even enjoy life. But Lasn believes that many companies encourage people to buy far more than is necessary. He thinks ____ hurts people and culture. Lasn tries to help people understand some of the false values and ideas behind ad vertising. The main value he fights is the idea. “You must buy more to be happy. ”Encouraging people to celebrate“Buy Nothing Day”is one idea he came up with.“Buy Nothing Day” is celebrated on the fourth Friday of every November. Lasn chose this day for a very important reason. It is one of the biggest shopping days of the year. Advertisers call this day Black Friday. The first “Buy Nothing Day” was celebrated in Canada in 1992. Many other countries also have growing problems with too much consumption (消费). Now, over sixty different countries，including the USA，the UK，Germany, France，Japan，are celebrating“Buy Nothing Day”. Some people doubt if “Buy Nothing Day” can really change c ulture. It is only one day, they say. Other people say that consumers should not just buy less，but they should buy better. These people encourage consumers to buy things made in environment—friendly ways. But “Buy Nothing Day” does get people thinking about the negative(负面的)influences of buying too much.16. The writer uses two questions at the beginning of the passage to_____________.

The year 2020 saw the completion (实现) of the 13th Five-Year Plan.Historic progress was celebrated. For example, China realized its goal of building a xiaokang society in allrespects. It wiped out (消除) extreme poverty (living on less than $1.25 or 8.16 yuan a day). Its economy grew close to 100 trillion yuan with a per capita (人均的) GDP of over 70,000 yuan. The number of dropouts (辍学) due to poverty in primary and junior high school fell to zero.As for the next step, the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (中国共产党第十九届五中全会), which ended on Oct 29, discussed the 14th Five-Year Plan and set long-term goals for China through 2035.By 2035, China will ensure common prosperity (共同富裕). Everyone will be able to enjoy equal basic public services. China will make technological breakthroughs (突破) in key areas and become a global leader in innovation (创新).

More than 120 countries and regions are now using BeiDou services in various fields.A month later, China successfully launched its Mars probe Tianwen 1 from Hainan province on July 23. It’sChina’s first independent Mars mission.On Nov 24, China launched the Chang’e 5 lunar probe (月球探测器), which returned to Earth 23 days later, bringing back 1.7 kg of rock and soil samples (样本) from the moon.

For example, when Shen Guanglin (played by Shen Teng) goes on a date with Li Huanying (played by Zhang Xiaofei), Shen suffers from a case of diarrhea, leading to an awkward and humorous scene.The approach to the film also makes Jia’s work stand out.Apart from funny scenes, Hi, Mom focuses on the pure and sincere relationship between mother and daughter.It was regarded as a “heartwarming comedy” by Hollywood Reporter.

However, to protect younger students’ eyesight and make sure they focus on their studies, primary and middle schools will have more specific rules to limit students’ mobile phone use on campus.The Ministry of Education released（发布）a notice in January that restricts primary and middle school students from carrying mobile phones to sc hool. Those who still require their phone for some reason must get their parents’ and teachers’ agreement and must hand their phones over during class time.The policy aims to improve students’ focus on study and fight addiction（上瘾） to the internet and games.According to a 2020 report by the China Internet Network Information Center, China had 175 million internet users under the age of 18 in 2019, with 74 percent having their own mobile phones.This is worrying, as long-time use of smartphones harms chil dren’s eyesight, cervical vertebrae（颈椎） and even the brain, according to the World Health Organization.On Feb 19, Beijing Municipal Education Commission released a notice that asked all local primary and middle schools to include rules regarding smartphone usage in campus management.

时事阅读第一期时文阅读：全球公共卫生事件The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared (宣布) the new coronavirus (冠状病毒) outbreak a global public health emergency after the spread of the disease across the world. WHO made the decision in its third meeting about the coronavirus, after it decided not to take such a step in the first two meetings.Officially called a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), it is considered to be a public health risk through the international spread of disease. It suggests a serious, sudden and unusual situation in which the world must act quickly.Since 2009, there have been a few global health emergencies, including the 2009 swine flu pandemic (猪流感) and the 2014 outbreak of ebola in West Africa.The new coronavirus has got attention because of its similarity to SARS which killed about 800 people across the world in 2002-2003. So far, the new coronavirus does not seem to be as deadly as SARS, but there have been more cases.Its declaration could cause trade and travel restrictions (限制). Those who have made holiday plans might have their plans affected (受影响的) in some parts of the world.The WHO said its greatest worry was the potential (潜在性) for the virus to spread to countries with weaker health systems, who might not be able to handle (处理) it.“We are all in this together and we can only stop it together,” said the WHO’s Director General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.时事阅读：钟南山As the saying goes, “A hero is known in the time of misfortune（不幸）”.

It was said that school should not start before March. The exact start time of school will depend on situations and further notices.However, many parents are very worried that putting off the start of school mayaffect(影响）children’s studies. If they have s uch a long winter vacation, children will not learn any knowledge, read books or study at all. They may forget what they have learned before. Staying at home for a long time will make them keep eating, sleeping and playing, which seriously affect their physical and mental health.In short, the close of school influences learning and develops bad habits, so how should we avoid these problems? Local education departments have also issued a notice, that is, to organize online teaching and create a network platform（平台）, where necessary courses will be shown every day, and online teaching will be given by excellent teachers of the subject, and students can learn at home through computer or mobile network.It should be said that such a method is very good. It can not only keep students indoors and not worry about the infection（感染) of the disease, but also make them study at home, improve their learning ability, and truly achieve “no suspension of classes”. Both the platform itself and the recorded lesson resources are more useful, and are welcomed by parents and teachers.Of course, except for learning at home, it is also necessary to teach children about health knowledge, especially how to keep away from touching virus and other knowledge popularization; at the same time, it is also necessary for children to do some physical exercises or some games, which is good for physical health at home.11.

A Method to Make Parents Worried时文阅读：心理防疫Wearing a mask while sleeping at home sounds a little crazy.But Wu Keying did so during the novel coronavirus outbreak. “I feared that I would be infected. Now I know it’s not necessary to do so. But I am still worried about when the epidemic will end,” said the 13-year-old from Chengdu, Sichuan province. Being stuck inside makes her feel anxious.In fact, many people have experienced feelings like Wu.Nearly 80 percent of people are deeply worried about the outbreak, while 40percent strongly fear it, according to a survey released on Jan 27 by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.These emotions (情绪) are normal for people who are going through stressful events, according to Wang Weihua, an expert on positive psychology (积极心理学). “Some stressful reactions (反应) can help us fight the virus,” Wang said. “W e take more protective actions, such as wearing masks and washing hands often, for example.”But if these feelings last too long, it will be bad for our mental (心理的) health, Wang added. So how can we stay positive?First, we should learn to accept unexpected changes in life,wrote Xiong Kewei, a psychological consultant (咨询师) at Beijing Normal University. We might learn newlessons from these changes, like respecting (尊重) nature and being more responsible (有担当的).Another useful way to stay positive is to stick to a normal routine (正常作息).“The key is to take good care of the body, arrange a reasonable schedule, ensure adequate sleep and diet, and get the necessary rest and relaxation,” Zhang Hong, deputy chief physician of Wuhan Mental Health Center, told China Daily.参考答案1-5 BDACC6-10 ABDAC11-15 CDBCA。

热点16 语法单项选择之时事热点（原卷版）（建议用时：30分钟）单纯考查语法知识的试题越来越少，语法知识的运用能力成了考查的重点。

历年单项选择题特点是语材真实，几乎每题的题干均创设一个明确的语境，题干具有足够的长度，以形成特定的语境。

要把每个题(而不是每一句)当作一个阅读片段来处理，在语境中考虑哪一个是最佳选项，不能只是从语法方面考虑，还要从英、美的习惯、语言的惯用法、句型搭配等方面全盘考虑。

从近几年来上海的中考试卷分析可以看出，单项选择题的考点主要分布在：名词、动词、形容词、副词、代词、冠词、连词、介词、情态动词;时态、语态;词义辨析、语序、各种不同的从句及交际用语上。

在做单项选择题时，同学们除应具有较扎实的语言基础知识和善于思考外，掌握一些解题方法是很有必要的。

航空、载人航天、新冠、世界杯、双减、英雄等。
