Which of the following items are allowed in student rooms?A．Wireless routers and radios. B．Hairdryers and candles.C．Ceiling fans and waterbeds. D．TVs and electric blankets.2. What do we know about the cooking policy?A．A microwave oven can be used.B．Cooking in student rooms is permitted.C．A housekeeper is to clean up the kitchen.D．Students are to close kitchen doors after cooking.3.

I went climbing with a millennial(千禧一代).She is younger, fitter, braver and more energetic. I am good at getting discouraged, having a rest and giving advice from the sidelines. She will cling(附着于)on to a wall like a small monkey trying to escape certain death, while I will get near the top, realize how high that is and lose my nerve. Together we could make an impressive（感人的；令人钦佩的） team, me at the bottom of the wall, going, "That's great, try using your feet one by one. Oh...What did you do that for?" And her going, "Shall we try that again so we've actually done it? Do you think we should have warmed up first?"Climbing muscles, being the same as regular muscles, are use-it-or-lose-it. I climbed more often before I did the crazy running activity and used to think of the green runs at my local center as being for children, or for a warm-up. Now I find them extremely hard, and the purple is my top-of-the-tree, when in fact they are both for beginners, really. I suspect the millennial of avoiding the blue-with-red-spots just so as to not show me up.It wasn't her first time climbing, but she wasn't registered at the center, so she had to go through a process that sounds threatening: watching a video and answering questions on it (the answers are always "I am responsible for my own safety in the center" and Holds may spin"). In an older person-me, for instance-any activity that starts with a reflection on your own death is a little low-energy, whereas she seemed quite excited by it.We both laughed at each other's clothing: she accused me of having, a pink T-shirt which seemed too lovely for me, while she was dressed to be a labourer. The moral is that you can basically wear anything while you climb. It's not like running, where the ill-dressed are chased from the area by a thousand eyes.1. We learn from Paragraph 1 that the author and the millennial .A．know each other very well B．try to learn how to escape deathC．form a sharp contrast D．make a team that beats others2. By “climbing muscles, being the same as regular muscles, are use-it-or-lose-it” the author means______.A．climbing does good to musclesB．climbing needs practicing regularlyC．climbing muscles are as useful as other musclesD．climbing muscles won’t be lost even if not used3. The question the millennial was required to answer were admitted to .A．let the climbers realize the climbing might be dangerousB．give the climbers another approach to think of deathC．warn the climbers against loss of energy in the processD．remind the climbers of the importance of registration4. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A．Climbers need to wear special clothes.B．Ill-dressed runners stand out improperly.C．Climbers need to get a certificate before climbing.D．The author and millennial like making fun of others.3. In the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animals. This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy.From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don’t get to see this soft side of others. Often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we're brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning (按喇叭)or even shouting at me. At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other drivers, “I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can. And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak. Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way. But those are few and far between. More often, it would be better if we don’t, pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.1. People will feel happy, according to the author's findings, when __________.A．they offer their help to others B．they receive others’ helpC．they feel others’ kindness to them D．they show their weakness to other people 2. Why does the author feel sad sometimes?A．Because he has a soft heart, showing sympathy to others.B．Because he is disabled and relies much on others.C．Because some people pretend to be kind, but in fact they are not.D．Because some people fail to see the kindness in others.3. What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?A．They sped up to pass because they didn’t want to wait.B．They stopped their cars to offer help.C．丁hey put on their flashlights too.D．They waited with patience.4. In this passage, the author advises us to _________.A．be independent of others and handle problems by ourselvesB．accept help from others for everythingC．admit our weaknessD．show our bravery4. Water is a necessity of life. Rain, especially, helps plants grow and stay green. But too much rain, especially in cities, can lead to flooding. That can cause waste water systems to overflow and send pollutants into rivers and other waterways. To fight the problem, several cities in the United States are starting programs like rooftop gardens.A team at the University of the District of Columbia in the nation's capital has created a garden on the top of one school building. The garden holds many kinds of plants to help absorb rainwater and grow food at the same time. Architect David Bell has designed five "green roofs" for the university. He says he is excited about the project because "it meant doing something more than just dealing with storm water management. It took advantage of a resource above the city and these flat roofs that aren't doing anything really became something that was about urban agriculture. " Rainwater is collected in large containers and sent through a system that waters the rooftop garden. The roof is filled with green life that appeals to insects.In cities, “you don't have that many spaces to choose from and so rooftops are just (unused) space," says Caitlin Arlotta. She is a student in the school's Urban Agriculture program. The project is part of a research program to see which plants do well on rooftops. The researchers are looking at plants including strawberries, tomatoes and sweet potatoes. The university also has other green spaces. "We also have our own farm experiments," A rlotta said. “ Within each of those growing systems, we want to be able to tell people which sorts of these crops grow the best. "Sandy Farber Bandier helps run UDC's Master Gardener program. It seeks to improve cities and make them beautiful by training people to become Master Gardeners. She says she's been surprised by the garden's output. ”My biggest surprise was that we produced 4, 250 pounds of produce the first year and was able to spread that to people in need. " She also likes being able to show people who live in D. C. and others beyond the nation's capital what and how food can be grown on a rooftop. “This is the future for food. You grow it here, you prepare it in a commercial kitchen, you distribute through farmers markets,food trucks, and then you recycle. "1. What do we know about the rooftop gardens?A．Rooftop gardens are very common in average neighborhoods.B．There are many sorts of plants there which help take in rainwater.C．They're playing an important role in the city's food supply.D．Rooftop gardens are no more than containers to collect rainwater.2. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A．Rooftops can offer enough space to plant crops.B．Many plants like strawberries can grow well on rooftops.C．Some univercity students are participating in the Urban Agriculture program.D．The plants in rooftop gardens are attractive to many insects.3. How does Sandy Farber Bandier feel about the future of rooftop gardens?A．Confident.B．Doubtful.C．Worried.D．Ambiguous.4. What is the best title for the text?A．Rainwater Necessity for Plant LifeB．Green Roofs-The Future of Urban AgricultureC．The United States' Agriculture ProgramD．Rooftop Gardens-Food Paradise5. Last week the electricity in my flat went out. 1 My typical evening is spent watching TV and scrolling (滚动) through social media. Tonight this wasn’t possible. My roommate and I weren’t prepared with candles and matches. We just rely on electricity.So for me it was an early night, 2 That night, losing our electricity felt like losing a basic necessity, as basic as running water. But really, electricity is a luxury that we’ve grown to take for granted. I use electricity all the time, even when it’s not really necessary.3 And as I’m writing this, I have my lights on, even in the middle of the day when I don’t really need them.4 It contributes to global warming. It is harming our environment and we need to do what we can to stop it. Not only that, but if we continue to use the same large amount of energy, we will soon run out of it.How would we survive in a world without electricity? Our daily lives go around it. We wouldn’t be able to function. 5 So, shouldn’t we start preparing for it now? Cutting down on our use of electricity would save energy resources so that they could last for longer. And if everyone does it, we can make a big difference.6. On a raining day, I wen t to buy some aspirin.

From Asia to Africa, from South America to North America, he has encountered many wonderful people and experiences, and witnessed various unique customs.People’s good will has been a highlight of his trips. “I met a small hotel owner when I was cycling in Ecuador, South America, in 2016. After I knew the owner had been to China multiple times and was a fan of the Chinese culture and food, I took the initiative to cook him a Chinese dinner. He was very happy and, in return, offered me a night of accommodation for free,” Zhu says.Yet, it hasn’t all been smooth riding. Zhu came across severe weather on his w ay to the Arctic in 2020.Moreover, he suffered robberies during his stay in South Africa and escaped attacks from bears and other wild animals in Canada.After the Olympic tour, Zhu says he will continue to explore the world on his bicycle and fulfill his childhood dream of touring the whole world with his feet.

The film is an adaptation of Pygmalion, a comic play by the Irishman George Bernard Shaw(1856-1950).However, the musical version of My Fair Lady is even older, and has been entertaining audiences since 1956.In fact, a new Broadway version of the musical was nominated for 10 Tony awards. The story of Eliza Doolittle, a working-class flower seller from London, and the snobbish（势利的）Professor Higgins, who teaches her "proper English", has never showed any signs of dying out since it was introduced.But why do people still line up around the block for tickets when a new production of the play is announced? The answer is simple: The musical has a wonderful story. Everyone can identify with Doolittle's desire to live a more satisfying life; all she wants is to get rid of her accent so she can get a job in a store and not on the streets. However, it seems that people like Higgin s are always looking down on Doolittle for not being from a fancy family.Besides Doolittle's background, the story and the songs in the music al are also what make it so popular. Audience members are moved when Eliza and her fellow flower sellers imagine what it'd be like to live as a rich person does. This is perfectly summed up in the lyric （歌词）,“Wouldn't it be lovely?”The musical also makes people think. It doesn't make sense that one kind of accent can be considered good and another bad. Eliza and her father speak "badly" because they were born poor, while Higgins speaks "proper English" because he was born a "gentleman". That reflects the unfairness of class divisions – a kind of unfairness that still sadly exists today.8. The underlined word "nominated" in paragraph 2 can be replaced by _________.A．Appointed. B．Selected. C．Suggested. D．Directed.9. Why do people like Broadway's musical My Fair Lady?A．People can relate to Doolittle's experiences.B．It's considered the best adaptation of Pygmalion.C．It has won 10 Tony awards since its appearance.D．People have a good chance to learn proper English.10. What message does My Fair Lady convey?A．People from poor families can hardly be successful.B．Women's status has been greatly improved in the UK.C．Social class division is deeply rooted in British society.D．One's language ability and manner are the key to success.11. What can we know about the story of the musical?A．Higgins was described as a kindhearted man.B．Eliza was born poor but fought for a better life.C．Higgins and Eliza became friends after they first met.D．Eliza finally changed Higgins` prejudice against the poor.Sharks and their relatives are some of the most threatened vertebrates（脊椎动物） on Earth. Coral reefs （珊瑚礁） provide homes for countless fish species that are vital for fisheries and aretherefore an especially important ecosystem for humans——and one where the decline of shark populations seems to be especially acute （剧烈的）.The study by Simpfendorfer with his team is the result of a worldwide cooperation called the Global FinPrint project. The data analyzed include more than 20,000 hours of standardized underwater video taken at nearly 400reefs in 67 countries around the world. It reveals declines of 60% to 73% of once-abundant（充足的） coral reef shark species at reefs around the worldHowever, the findings of Simpfendorfer with his team include signs of hope and a clear path forward. Their results show that although shark populations in many reefs had declined, some health y reef shark populations remained. The reefs with healthier shark populations had some important similarities: they tended to be in the waters of high-income countries with stronger natural resource management regulations （规定） . A country that lacks the resources to feed its people is less able to sustainably manage and protect its biodiversity.The most unexpected result of the study is that a decline or complete loss of shark species in one reef was not always associated with similar changes in nearby reefs. They found that one reef can be over fished so badly that a once-common reef shark species is totally gone, but another reef a short distance away can have healthy populations of that same species. It is likely that healthy population s can eventually help repopulate nearby areas.The problem is clear——animals that provide ecosystem services that are vital for human food security and livelihoods are disappearing at an alarming rate. The loss of sharks and the ecosystem services they provide represents an ecological disaster that can cause substantial harm to humans. But apparently, the findings have shown a way. If the threat that led to population decline are resolved, then these important and threatened animals may recover.12. Why is Simpfendorfer with his team mentioned in Paragraph 2?A．To stress the result of global cooperation.B．To state the urgency of protecting the ocean.C．To show the severe condition of certain sharks.D．To present the figures of their contributions to sharks.13. Why could healthy reef shark population s remain in some areas?A．Citizens there had a stronger environmental awareness.B．Science and economics were improving fast in such areas.C．The waters in these areas were suitable for sharks to live in.D．These areas took stricter measures to protect natural resources.14. What can be inferred from the text?A．Changes in reefs lead to loss of shark species.B．Humans and animals co-exist in ecosystem.C．It's not clear whether humans cause damage to biodiversity.D．The declined shark species have nothing to do with overfishing.15. What's the text mainly about?A．Acute Decline of reef sharks. B．Potential recovery of reef sharks.C．Global cooperation of saving sharks. D．Amazing discovery of Coral reefs.In an increasingly busy world, finding moments of peace is more important than ever. One way to make you have a peaceful feeling at home is to have an indoor water fountain. 16 And it also offersa lot of calming benefits that are able to positively influence your well-being.17 It can contribute to feelings of calmness and relaxation, making you forget about the demands of the outside world. Indoor water fountains offer a convenient and accessible way to bring this relaxing experience into your home.Indoor water fountains can also improve the quality of the air in your home. As water flows, small drops of water go away into the surrounding air. They can help humidify (使湿润) the environment.18 At that time, indoor heating systems can lead to dry, uncomfortable air. Improved air quality can contribute to a sense of well-being and comfort.Indoor water fountains can help improve concentration by creating a calming environment. Whether you are working from home or dealing with a challenging project, it helps you keep focused and improve your performance. Students also need to be highly focused when studying. 19For those who struggle with sleep issues, an indoor water fountain can be a valuable aid. Listening to the sound of an indoor water fountain can bring them into a deeper and more restful sleep. 20 Besides, having a fountain in their bedroom helps to drown out (淹没) background noise, creating a more peaceful sleep environment.By the time he was 24 years old, Imran Nuri quit his job in a bold move, and emptied his savings account to carry out an ambitious ________ he'd been bearing in mind.
