Meanwhile, news conferences (新闻发布会) and other interview activities are "appropriately streamlined and conducted in new forms (适当精简并以新形式进行), such as by video link," chairman of the National People's Congress Foreign Affairs Committee, Zhang Yesui, told Xinhua.Because of the need for continued COVID-19 control, on May 13, the State Council's executive meeting (国务院常务会议) called for adopting (采纳) new ways for taking in views and suggestions of national legislators and political advisers, including via video-link, phone calls and the internet.Technology is playing a key role in bringing the nation's top political advisory body (国家最高政治咨询机构) closer to the people.The website of the CPPCC (全国政协) National Committee started to seek opinions and suggestions from netizens on May 8.

It's for our High School Entrance Examination (中考)，said Li Liangjing, 15 , a junior 3 student from Xiamen.. Two months ago, the Shanghai University of Sport made a survey from over 110,000 students and worked out teenagers' physical index (指数). For junior high school students, their physical health score is 94.1, which is quite good. But this doesn't mean they are active in sports, because their awareness (意识) and willingness (意愿) to do physical exercises only scores at 74.8., reported the Paper News.Because of that, the Shanghai Education committee decided to put more importance on the general physical quotient (体商) of teenagers. This means that schools should pay attention to not only students' health and sports test scores, but also their knowledge, skills and willingness to do exercises.Thus, making PE classes more fun and growing students' interests in sports seems necessary, according to the deputy director (副主任) of the Shanghai Education Committee, Wang Ping. , such as throwing the handkerchief (手绢) and the eagle and the chickens. They also teach students different sports like tennis, swimming and martial art (武术).", which can be good for all their lives," said Wang. And experts (专家) from the Shanghai University of Sport are planning to introduce the idea to more provinces.（共6小题：每小题1分，满分6分）8．I'm so s to hear that you can't come to my party, I'm looking forward to seeing you.9．You don't need to help him, he can finish it on his o.10．Close the window or the wind will b everything off my desk.11．The young woman is very b.

Global average temperatures have risen by more than 0.5 ℃since 1992.A half-degree temperature rise is a big deal.

My dad was the coach of my team, and my mom kept score. So my sister, not old enough to stay home alone, was forced to come to all my games. I remember looking toward the stands for my mother's approval and seeing my sister's face, confused. It was obvious that she wasn't excited, but she cheered along with the crowd anyway.On the car ride home, my parents and I would relive the game. My sister sat in the back seat with me in silence, not knowing how or when to enter the conversation. Often, she would say, “Good game, Brad.” I wo uld smile and thank her but never took it seriously. She couldn't possibly know whether I had played well or not.It wasn't until I reached high school that I realized how popular she was, and I was referred to as “Christie's little brother.” I played bask etball in high school, and although Christie wasn't forced to attend my games anymore, she still came to cheer me every week. In the last game of the last season, she came with a large group of friends. Printed on her shirt, in big bright red letters, were the words “BRAD'S SISTER.” Suddenly I was embarrassed, not for her presence, but for my previous attitude to her praise.Kicki left for college after that game. I finally have the remote control all to myself. However, watching TV alone has turned out to be boring. I went to visit her at college duringa weekend, and as I stood outside her dorm, waiting for her to come out, a friend of hers whom I didn't know walked past me and asked, “Hey, aren't you Christie's brother?” I smiled broadly and said proudly, “Yeah, I am. I'm Christie's brother.”4、How did Brad feel about being an only child when he was young?A.Boring.B.Awesome.C.Tough.D.Awful.5、Why did Christie go to Brad's games when he was in primary school?A.She hoped to know more about Brad.B. She was interested in basketball games.C.She was too young to be left alone at home.D. She wanted to spend more time with her family.6、Why did Brad feel embarrassed according to the last but one paragraph?A.He treated Christie's praise lightly before.B.He forgot Christie's presence at his last game.C. He saw the big bright red letters on Christi's shirt.D.He received unwanted attention from Christie's friends.7、What can be inferred about Christie?A.She was proud of Brad.B. She didn't like watching TV.C.She enjoyed Brd's calling her Kicki.D.She seldom went home during college.Researchers from Texas A&M University have developed a new bioremediation technology（生物整治技术）using plant-based material and fungi（真菌）that could clean up per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances.Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substance, also called “forever chemicals” or PFAS, are found in soil, water, and even human and animal blood and may be harmful to humans and other species. They are found just about everywhere, from food wrappers to clothing. These chemicals may affect the immune system and may cause liver damage. Extremely high exposures to PFAS may also be linked to cancer.“PFAS do not degrade easily in the environment and are poisonous even in a very low concentration,” said Susie Dai, associate professor from Texas A&M. “They must be removed and destroyed to prevent human exposure and negative impacts on the ecosystem. PFAS are so stable and they can occur in water in a very low concentration and you have to concentrate them and then destroy them.”The only way to actually get rid of these “forever chemicals” is by burning them, which is a long and expensive process. But Texas A&M researchers have found a new way to use a plant-based material that adsorbs the pollutants. As explained by ScienceDirect, adsorption is “The use of solids for removing substances from either gas or liquid.” The adsorbent material is then consumed by microbial fungi. The team recently published their findings for the process framework, which they call RAPIMER, in Nature.“The plant's cell wall material serves as a framework to adsorb the PFAS,” Dai explained. “Then this material and the adsorbed chemical serve as food for a microbial fungus. Then it's gone, and you don't have the disposal problem.”This sustainable PFAS clean-up system could be mass-produced for commercial use, leading to a better way to remove these chemical pollutants from the environment. It could also come in handy as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency considers creating PFAS thresholds（阈值） to its water quality standards.8、What is mainly talked about in paragraph 2?A.PFAS's existing forms.B.PFAS's doubtful origins.C. PFAS's potential dangers.D.PFAS's wide applications.9、What did Susie Dai say about PFAS?A.They are unstable.B.They degrade easily in the environment.C.They survive longer in water than in the air.D. They are poisonous even in a low concentration.10、What happens after the plant-based material adsorbs the pollutants?A.The material gets eaten.B. The material becomes solid.C.The material falls into small pieces.D.The material goes on to adsorb fungi.11、What is the author's attitude towards the plant-based material?A.Indifferent.B.Worried.C.Positive.D.Reserved.ever a concern for growers of plants currently grown inside large greenhouses. Vegetables are increasingly being grown indoors, using an advanced form of growing called controlled environment agriculture, a method that has the potential to help feed the planet, even while it threatens to further warm it.Controlled environment agriculture has many advantages. Crops are not subject to unexpected extreme weather. Furthermore, these greenhouses can produce more food withfewer pesticides and less water. With computer-controlled temperatures and nutrients, the plants grow with less water and produce much higher yields. Above all, the produce can be bred for flavor, instead of for tolerance to heat, rain and long-distance transportation.The carbon footprint of any given greenhouse tomato can vary quite a bit depending on energy sources, surrounding temperatures and natural light. But various studies have estimated that, on average, the production of a pound of tomatoes in an American or northern European greenhouse releases 3 to 3.5 pounds of carbon into the atmosphere. That is about 6 times the caron footprint of a field tomato, even taking into account the emissions from refrigerated trucks that often transport field vegetables hundreds or even thousands of miles to reach consumers. Greenhouses, by contrast, can be built near major population centers.Nevertheless, in a rapidly warming world, should we be increasing agriculture's contribution by moving some of it i ndoors? “We have little choice,” say advocates. “With the global population expected to grow by 25 percent to nearly 10 billion people by 2050, food production will need to increase by 60 percent to 100 percent. With freshwater supplies and land suitable for farming decreasing, and droughts getting worse due to climate change, where will this additional food come from?”12、What does the underlined part “a big change” in paragraph 1 refer to?A.The rapid increase of population.B. The threatens of warming the planet.C.The way to deal with natural disasters.D. The tendency to grow vegetables indoors.13、What does controlled environment agriculture mainly focus on?A.Making crops taste good.B.Planting crops with less water.C.Growing crops in extreme weather.D.Transporting crops from a long distance.14、What do we know about American greenhouse tomatoes?A.They are not high-yielding crops.B.They are not really environmentally friendly.C.They are grown far from population centers.D.They are mainly exported to norther Europe.15、Which of the following statements may the advocates agree with?A. Greenhouse planting is a necessary temporizing measure.B. Greenhouse planting is tailored for small-population nations.C. Greenhouse planting can help spread the idea of healthy eating.D. Greenhouse planting should be stopped from warming the world.二、七选五16、根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

All eyes will turn to New York City, London, Milan and Paris this month to see which city puts on the best show.New YorkNew York Fashion Week, or NYFW, kicks off on September 5th and runs for approximately eight days. NYFW is considered the most commercial and casual of the four. It is also the only event to allow some fashion school students to participate, bringing a fresh look to the runway. LondonLondon Fashion Week （LFW）comes on the heels of NYFW, starting on September 13th and running through September 17th. Once considered a minor player among the Big Four, LFW can now command a list of big names as well as promising new designers.

A pregnant woman and her screaming 2-year-old daughter were trapped in the car.While his partner, Allen Hadley, was tending to the driver, Lloyd couldn't get the frightened girl to calm down. He saw she was holding several bottles of nail polish, and then he had a better idea. He asked her if she wanted to paint his nails. Soon she entirely lit up. At the same time, Hadley showed up to check on the scene.Lloyd had calmed her down and was in the process of getting his fingers painted. Then Hadley just put his hand in there. The girl began to color his nails pink. By this time, she was not only calm, but she was also happy.The girl's mother was not injured. She thanked them for helping herdaughter feel better, and they all chuckled, looking at the firefighters' nails, and took some photos.The firefighters brought the photos back to headquarters and showed them around. The department put them up on Facebook, and thousands of people responded, with many thanking the firefighters for going out of their way to calm down a frightened girl.Fire Chief Mark Becraft said he had been surprised at all the attention. He said he was proud of his firefighters, and added that he had known members of the department who had done many things that weren't part of the job.After the fact, Lloyd and Hadley had a small matter to tend to：the layers of polish on their nails. They bought a bottle of nail polish remover, and used almost all of it.24.Why was the 2-year-old girl frightenedA. She was caught in an accident.B. Her mother was badly injured.C.

To introduce the little girl who likes polishing nails.D.To praise the two firefighters who learn to decorate nails.CIn spring, chickens start laying eggs again, bringing a welcome source of protein at winter’s end. So it’s no surprise that cultures around the world celebrate spring by honoring the egg.Some traditions are simple, like the red eggs that get baked into Greek Easter breads. Others upgrade the egg into a fancy art, like the heavily jewel-covered “eggs” that were favored by the Russians starting in the 19th century.One ancient form of egg art is egg painting, which comes to us from Ukraine. For centuries, Ukrainians have been drawing complicated patterns on eggs. Contemporary artists have followed this tradition and adapted the traditional methods to create eggs that speak to the anxieties of our age: Life is precious, and delicate. Eggs are, too.“There’s something about their delicate nature that crazily appeals to me,” says New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast. Several years ago, she became interested in egg painting and learned the traditional Ukrainian technique to draw her very modern characters. “I’ve broken eggs atevery stage of the process — from the very beginning to the very, very end.”But there’s an appeal in that vulnerability. “There’s part of this sickening horror that I kind of like, the horror of knowing you’re walking on the edge with this, knowing that it could all fall apart at any second.” Chast’s designs, such as a worried man alone in a tiny boat, reflect that delicateness.Traditional Ukrainian decorated eggs also spoke to those fears. The complex and detailed patterns were believed to offer protection against evil.Egg painting art, dating back to 300 B.C., was later absorbed into the Christian church. The old symbols, however, still survive. A decorated egg with a bird on it, given to a young married couple, is a wish for children.A decorated egg thrown into the field would be a wish for a good harvest.28. What do we learn about the decorated “eggs” in RussiaA. They are shaped like jewel cases.B. They are heavily painted in red.C. They are favored as a form of art.D. They are valued by the rich.29. Why have contemporary artists continued the tradition of egg paintingA. Because eggs serve as a symbol of the coming of spring.B. Because eggs provide a source of protein in winter’s end.C. Because eggs provide a unique surface to paint on.D. Because eggs reflect the anxieties of people today.30. Which of the following best explains “vulnerability” underlined in paragraph 5A. Delicateness.B. Technique.C. Fear.D. Anxiety.31. What is the main idea of the textA. Egg painting art preserves traditional and popular symbols.B. Different cultures have different ways of honoring the egg.C. Ukrainian egg painting art appeals to contemporary artists.D. Egg painting art continues and develops in pace with time.DImagine you enter a car with no steering wheel, no brake or accelerator pedals (踏板). Under a voice-activated command, you say an address. “The fastest route will take us 15.3 minutes. Should I take it ” You say “yes” and you are on your way. The car responds and starts moving all by itself. All you have to do is to sit back and relax.How strange would it be if, one day in the future, everyone had such a car No crazy driving, no quarrels, no cutting in; traffic laws would be respected and driving much safer. On the other hand, imagine the cost savings for local police enforcement (强制执行) and town budgets without all those speeding and parking tickets.A new technology has the potential to change modern society thoroughly. There’s no question that self-driving vehicles could be anenormous benefit. The potential for safer cars means accident statistics would drop: some 94% of road accidents in the U.S. involve human error. Older drivers and visually-or physically-disabled people would gain a new level of freedom. Maintaining safe speeds and being electric, self-driving cars would sharply reduce pollution levels and dependency on non-renewable fuels. Roads would be quieter, people safer.But we must also consider the impact of the new technology on those who now depend on driving for their living. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, in May 2015 there were 505,560 registered school bus drivers. The American Trucking Association lists approximately 3.5 million professional truck drivers in the U.S. The companies developing self-driving vehicles should be partnering with state and federal authorities to offer retraining for this massive workforce, many of whom will be displaced by the new technology.New technologies will, and should, be developed. This is how society moves forward. However, progress can’t be one-sided. It is necessary for the companies and state agencies involved to consider the moral consequences of these potential changes to build a better future for all.32. What would be the effect of the wide use of driverless carsA. More policemen would inspect the streets.B. People would never feel angry about the traffic.C. It would save local governments a lot of money.D. Traffic regulations would be a thing of the past.33. How would the elderly and the disabled benefit from driverless carsA. They would get rid of air pollution.B. They could enjoy greater mobility.C. They would suffer no road accidents.D. They could go anywhere they want.34. What would be the negative effect of driverless carsA. The conflict between labor and management would sharpen.B. Many drivers would have to find new ways of earning a living.C. Drivers would have a hard time adapting to new road conditions.D. The gap between various departments of society would be widened.35. What does the author suggest businesses and the government doA. Enable everyone to benefit from new technologies.B. Keep pace with technological developments.C. Make new technologies affordable to everyone.D. Popularize the use of new technologies and devices.第二节(共5小题:每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
