26、 Nowadays, we live in a strict and judgmental world where people are quick to point out the faults of others and yet seem to ignore their own ones. Some misguided souls believe they have a moral duty to help you be a better person telling you what a failure you really are.
If you're the one placing criticism upon others, please stop. Make a conscious decision, rather than focus on the negative aspect of a person's performance or attitudes, and you can offer helpful suggestions. If I'm painting a living room and making a mess in doing so, I'd have any husband say to me, "This is a tough job. Can I offer a suggestion that might make it easier for you?" rather than have him point out what a careless painter I am.
If you're on the receiving end of criticism, the "OK" response is a perfect solution. When someone comments negatively on a task you're doing, the natural response is to defend and attack. However, this approach is rarely effective as it puts both parties on the defensive. It diffuses a potentially explosive situation which might cause serious consequences. It's important to keep calm and listen without feeling, to be an objective observer. There is much that one can learn from a negative review. You can ask yourself: Could I have done better, and been more thoughtful? Did I give 100% of myself to the task at hand? Is there any truth in what the other person says? If so, how can I improve?
In any event, one should remember the saying, "Stop judging and you will not be judged. Stop condemning (指责) and you will not be condemned." One can learn to be "OK" with criticism and not allow it to negatively impact his or her relationship with the other party. Let it go and that will be "OK".
【1】According to the author, what would today's people like to do?
A.They ignore the mistakes of others.
B.They focus on how to handle mistakes.
C.They like to point out the mistakes of others.
D.They have a moral duty to help others with failure.
【2】What is the proper response to criticism in the author's opinion?
A.Paying no attention to it B.Learning something from it.
C.Making excuses for your mistakes. D.Defending and attacking.
【3】Which of the following best explains "diffuses" underlined in Paragraph 3?
A.spreads B.challenges C.reduces D.explains
【4】Which would be the best title for this passage?
A.Is criticism really necessaryin our relationships?
B.What can you learn from criticism?
C.What's the best way to voice criticism?
D.How to treat criticism as a giver and a receiver?
27、 Youth volunteers from Beijing University visited Songtang Hospital,a care clinic for the aged and dying patients,during the second Global Youth Service Day on April 21.
Thirty student volunteers from the university’s School of International Studies sat at the beds of the patients in their specially-decorated“care huts”.They talked with them and gave massages（按摩）to patients kept in their beds.
“I felt sorry that I could not offer more to these people than talking with them and trying to cheer them up.”said Deng Yetao,20,a third-year student.“But it occurred to me that they need more care and love than babies.They are afraid of the coming death.Their loneliness is worse than physical pains.”
“Even though they are suffering a lot,the majority of the elderly people want to talk to us.Each of them has a lot of life experiences and philosophies to share.Instead of doing them a favor,I felt I was benefited a lot,”said Mao Xiaohua,another third-year student.
Mao talked with two elderly patients for a whole afternoon.The fact that most of the patients in the 80-room clinic are aged people with diseases what will lead to death soon made the volunteers’hearts heavy.

Daily visits and services by social workers and youth volunteers are a very important part of their programmer.A total of 330,000 Beijing students from 119 universities and colleges have visited the hospital.Many continue to offer services in their spare time.They showered them with kindnesses.Some of them even volunteer to hold the hands of dying patients during the last minutes of their lives.
Yin Hang,a student from Beijing Medical College,said he felt“the glory of life”as he saw the fading smile on the face of the old man who passed into a deep unconsciousness while he was holding his hands.

28、Best Books for Kids
The Rabbit Listened
Taylor’s amazing wood-block tower has been ruined by birds, and he’s not sure what to do with his feelings about that.

Those are all gone now and his mother is no longer with him, but Marwan hears her voice telling him to keep walking until he finds a new home. Ages 5-7.

29、 US President Donald Trump on Friday called on the US to accelerate 5G deployment(部署).“The race to 5G is a race America must win,“Trump stressed,“We want to be the leader in this.”Trump said that 5G networks must be“guarded from the enemy—and we do have enemies out there.”It should be “private sector driven and private sector led,”but his administration is"removing regularity barriers to the buildout of networks.”Trump also vowed to extend broadband access to rural area,and“no matter where you are you will have access very quickly to 5G,”
Trump's words remind us of the US competition with the Soviet Union during the Cold War.The US’ overt crackdown(镇压) on Huawei is closely related to the country's 5G strategic deployment.While suppressing China's telecom giant,the US is mobilizing its own 5G development.Washington is quite narrow—minded.
Chinese companies including Huawei and ZTE have developed their 5G technology in line with the market rules.They may have never prepared for state competitions,nor harbored ambitions to challenge the global geopolitical landscape.Those low—key Chinese enterprises aim at doing better and making more money.They pursue technological leadership merely to survive and develop.It is exaggerating to regard 5G development as a decisive factor in national competitions.
Washington is launching a national mobilization to develop 5G technology.The approach is like taking a“great leap forward,"which is not cool—headed.
US technical mobilization ability is undoubtedly strong. However, the core competitiveness of the internet lies not only in technology but also in application conditions.As more and more people flood into cities, China has a dense urban population with a high average usage rate of base stations, making China's network infrastructure full of market driving force.
The US should give up the fantasy to be an "all—round champion"in the 5G era. Although it will still lead in the overall technological level in the long run, the country should accept the fact that it will be surpassed by China in certain specific fields of 5G. To be a normal powerful country, the US must first have a broad mind.
【1】Which words can best describe Trump's character?
A. narrow—minded and aggressive B. cool—headed and peace—loving
C. considerate and full of ambition D. determined and imaginative
【2】What's the main reason for the US' overt crackdown on Huawei?
A. Huawei has developed its 5G technology against the market rules.
B. The US wants to be the leader in 5G.
C. Huawei has earned more dollars than Apple.
D. Huawei doesn't keep a low key profile in dealing with American businessmen.
【3】What can we infer from the passage?
A. The US is an abnormal powerful country in every aspect in the world.
B. Android app is more powerful and useful than IOS app with 5G.
C. With more and more subscribers in the city, China has an advantage in developing 5G.
D. The US will lead in the overall technological level in the long term.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Where there is a smartphone, there is a Huawei
B. A New Era:5G Technology
C. A Long Way to Go for Huawei
D. US to Launch ‘Great Leap Forward’ Campaign in 5G
30、When it comes to school and schoolwork, I prefer to be an engaged parent rather than an involved parent. “Engaged” means I ask if they have homework, and I _________ nearby, doing my own thing.

I __________ that I have sometimes even tried to __________ something. Last year, when my second-grader was forgetting to return his homework to school, I told his __________, “Don’t hesitate to mark him down for __________ homework.” I know that meeting real world’s __________ is often a more powerful force than just what parents want him to do.
So what did we do about __________ and signing the second-grade homework? I told my son’s teacher that I wanted to encourage his sense of __________, and asked if we could try it for a while. She happily agreed, and so for the rest of the year I __________ his homework to my son.

33、 For me, two of the loveliest words in English are “Life persists”.
I ________ them years ago as a college student, sitting in the library, ________, working on a paper. Out of nowhere, those words came ________ off the page in a quote, “In the midst of death life persists, in the midst of ________ truth persists, in the midst of darkness light persists.”
Suddenly I wasn’t unhappy and impatient any more. Then I ________ my granddad. I loved to talk with him. And I was ________ to hear what he’d think of it.

I told him how glad I was, after a long winter, to finally see spring and ________ to find that quote. “Why is that?” he asked. “Well, spring is a sure _________ that life persists.

34、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Driving an electric car 【1】 to the protection of environment, or so the marketing departments of their makers would have you believe. Yet a report which analyzes car emissions presents a rather different picture. A battery-powered car recharged with 【2】 generated by coal-fired power stations, it found, is likely to be more harmful. It could cause more than three times as many deaths from pollution as a 【3】 petrol-driven vehicle.
The study was carried out by the University of Minnesota. The researchers estimated how levels of fine particulate matter (细颗粒物) and ground-level ozone — two important 【4】 of air pollution — would change when a car is powered by different ways.
It was no surprise that electric cars whose batteries were recharged with power from wind, solar or hydro-electric sources came out to be virtually free from harmful 【5】. They were estimated to cause 231 deaths over the course of a year, compared with 878 for petrol cars. Electric cars recharged with power from natural gas-fired stations were also a lot less harmful than petrol-driven ones, with 439 deaths. But if those same electric cars were recharged 【6】 by coal, they would be responsible for over 3,000 deaths.
Biofuels also caused more health problems than petrol. But diesel, which often 【7】 concern about pollution, is slightly cleaner than petrol. This is because the study assumes for all cars that emission-control technologies will be more widely used, especially particulate filters which have a remarkable effect on cleaning diesel 【8】. Diesel cars are also more 【9】 of fuel than petrol-driven ones.
Overall, the study shows that electric cars are cleaner than those traditional vehicles only if the power used to charge then is also clean. That is hardly a surprise, but the 【10】 of the difference is. How green electric cars really are, then, will depend mainly on where they are driven. In France, which obtains more than half of its power from nuclear station, electric cars look like a good bet. In China and some other developing countries, where a large amount of electricity is produced from coal, they may not be so environment- friendly as they are marketed.
35、课文填空
Yet, some people are【1】 They claim that surfing the Internet is a waste of time. They make the 【2】 that children spend too much time chatting and playing games instead of 【3】 on their school work. However, a recent survey conducted in the USA shows that 80 per cent of Internet users 【4】 it mostly to search for answers to questions. The second most common use of the Internet, for 79 per cent of Internet users, is to find out information about hobbies. These statistics prove that gathering information is the 【5】 use for the Internet.
36、阅读短文，根据短文内容及首字母提示，在空白处填入一个适当的单词。
Wearing face masks during the COVID-19 pandemic p【1】 the spread of the deadly virus. But it is also i【2】. For one, we can no longer unlock our phones using facial recognition since a good part of our face is c【3】.
F【4】, tech companies are working to solve the problem. Apple, for example, offered a new way to unlock your iPhone and iPad with its l【5】 software update, iOS13.5, w【6】 was released on May 20.
Even though the update still won’t recognize your masked face, it makes the whole process f【7】. While the old system wouldn’t allow access t【8】 the passcode screen before three failed face scan attempts, iOS13.5 will send you straight to the passcode screen when you swipe up.
It might only s【9】 you a few seconds, but those few seconds “benefit public health by eliminating the temptation for people to r【10】 their masks in order to unlock their device”.
