26、When I first came to UK from China at 6, I entered the first grade.【1】. I saw children throw their left over food into the large trash cans-from half-eaten pizzas to untouched burgers. I watched them pour their milk into a white bucket. In China, this was a huge no-no in school. We had to finish everything.
One day, my first grade teacher announced that we would be having a party and everyone was told to bring something from their country.【2】. My mom stayed up after her long day of work and made many dumplings. She put them in the fridge and woke up early in the morning to steam them and fry them so they would taste extra fresh when I brought them to school. They smelled great and looked golden brown after they were cooked.
I was so excited to share these with my class and teachers. It was placed in the corner of the table next to all the other delicious food.【3】. One or two kids bravely took a piece and knew what they were because they had it with their parents at a Chinese restaurant. At the end of the party, it was cleanup. My teacher walked up to me and asked, pointing to the dumplings, “Would you like to take these home?” I carefully replied, “No...”【4】. I thought she was going to share it with other teachers, but immediately after I said that, she threw all the dumplings into the trash and continued cleaning. I was confused; what just happened?
【5】. And today I still witness this frequently in my English friends. Please eat all your food or take it to go or hare it or just get enough so you don’t have to throw it away. Thank you.

27、 Forced by the COVID﹣19 outbreak， Pooja Chandrashekar spoke to mobile health﹣clinic （卫生所） workers across the city about their needs during the pandemic（大流行病）． The first﹣year Harvard Medical School student discovered that most information about the widespread virus was only available in English and a small number of other languages， leaving those who do not speak those languages in the dark．
"This makes it very difficult for immigrants（外来移民） and non﹣English﹣speaking communities to seek care for COVID﹣19，" Chandrashekar said． "We know from past epidemics like the swine flu（猪流感） that the lack of accessible information in one's native language places these populations at a higher risk of infection．"
She decided to take action， creating the COVID﹣19 Health Literacy Project． Chandrashekar brought together a group of students from more than 30 universities to create fact sheets in languages not commonly represented in the American health care system． She tweeted about her effort on March 14 and included an interest form in a following tweet that collected more than 500 responses． From there， she formed a still﹣growing team of over 175 medical students． Together， the students created seven fact sheets， in 35 languages．
"Our goal is to make sure we're producing accurate， evidence﹣based information，" Chandrashekar said． "When you're putting information out to the public and health care organizations are distributing it to their patients， you really want to make sure the information you're providing is correct．"
Going forward， Chandrashekar plans to keep building the network of partners and expanding the languages offered to serve the greatest number of people．

28、 If you’ve ever tried to have a regular movie night with your family, you know that choosing a movie everyone will like can be a difficult task. The kids may be interested in the latest cartoons, while Mom would prefer a love story, and Dad has his eye on something on war. 【1】Just when it seems like most are happy with the selection, one member of the family may disagree, and then the whole process starts all over again.
In these situations, you can try the “pick system ”, which works well for some families. The pick system is surprisingly simple and useful. It works like this: each member of the family gets one pick.【2】 The only rule is that, if it isn’t your pick, you must sit through the movie that is showing, without expressing strong dissatisfaction. 【3】 And you know that the rest of the family will have to watch it with you.
【4】 However, it is a proven method that avoids all the arguing (争论). If you have kids, it’ll teach them a lesson in consideration and patience. Using the pick system, you’ll find that your kids will start choosing movies that they think will be crowd-pleasers. The reason why this happens is very simple. Imagine it’s your pick, and you choose a movie everyone in the family ends up loving.【5】These words of praise are powerful positive reinforcements (强化) — it feels great when the people we love tell us that we did a good job.
A. The system may sound a bit silly.
B. One member of the family gets to choose the movie.
C. They’ll praise you for having made such a great choice.
D. In other words, everyone takes turns to choose the movie.
E. Then, the family may spend time arguing about which movie to watch.
F. When it’s your pick, you have the right to choose whatever movie you want.
G. If that system doesn’t work, the family may give up on movie night altogether
29、When Huang Lizhi took her first class in African sociology at the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa in February, her professor asked her and her classmates what impresses them most when it comes to Africa.
Unexpectedly, Huang, 31, found that words like “poverty” and “safari” – negative words that were often associated with the continent in media reports – were the kind of terms her African classmates didn’t want to hear. Instead, they preferred to hear the question answered in this way: “Africa is the cradle of humankind” and “Africans are passionate and generous”.
Apparently, there are some misunderstandings between us. It’s true that with incidents like the Ebola outbreak in Western Africa and the emergence (出现) of pirates off the coast of Somalia hitting the news, it’s easy for us to keep forgetting that Africa has one of the world’s oldest civilizations – Egypt, born by the world’s longest river, the Nile. The proof is in the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Great Sphinx of Giza, which are both popular among tourists. And the tombs of ancient Egypt have also become endless sources for the literature and film industries.
When it comes to the natural environment of Africa, our misunderstandings are only bigger. But the truth is that instead of being extremely hot all year and covered by desert, the continent has large areas of savannas (稀树草原) where lions, giraffes and zebras live, the snowcapped Kilimanjaro – the highest mountain in Africa – and even thick forest on the island of Madagascar.These misunderstandings are one of the reasons why the 2018 Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation was held on Sept 3 and 4 – to understand each other better.
Indeed, only by visiting Africa herself did Huang see the convenient living conditions, the amazing natural beauty and the friendly people.In her eyes, her classmates were as hopeful about the future of their own countries as they were about Africa as a whole, and they were quick to demonstrate both their strong will and activity. “At that moment, I knew exactly what they wanted – they wanted their culture to be respected.”
【1】Which of the following best explains “cradle ” underlined in paragraph 2?
A．A small bed for babies.
B．A basket to hold something.
C．A place for people to relax themselves.
D．A place where something important began.
【2】What can we infer about Africa according to the passage ?
A．It is very hot all the year round.
B．It’s not a safe continent to live in
C．It’s different from what we imagine.
D．It is bound to have a bright future
【3】Which of the following would Huang agree with ?
A．To see is to believe
B．Think twice before you do
C．A miss is as good as a mile
D．Don’t judge a person by his appearance
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Valuing a Culture.
B．Understanding Africa.
C．Paying a Visit to Africa.
D．Discovering a Continent.
30、The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot. This is because the culture systems are two ______ systems on the whole.
The ______ of the eastern cultures is mainly from two countries: China and India. Both of the two cultures are gestated by rivers. In China, the mother river is the Yellow River _____ the Indian one is the Hindu River. These two cultures were developed for several thousand years and formed their own _____.

In Times of Crists, We Need Classical Music
It’s still lying in front of me on my desk. The booklet, entitled Time for Outrange(愤怒) , was written by the 93-year-old French diplomat(外交官) Stephane Hessel. “The power of money,” Hessel says, filled with anger, “has never been as great and selfish and 【1】 as it is now.”
But what does the outrage of this Frenchman have to do with classical music and , ultimately, with me, music director of the Orchestre Symphenique de Montreal(蒙特利尔交响乐团) ?
A lot, I, too, am outraged by the direction of industrial society, with materialism and consumerism leading the way. I want to show that, because of its powerful impact, classical music can play a(n) 【2】 role right now.
We all sense that our society is experiencing an almost revolutionary 【3】. Life is getting faster, competition is fiercer and social cohesion(凝聚力) is reducing. Like most people, I have no idea how liberty and civil rights would develop in the era of globalization and ever-evolving technological advancement.
But I see this as an opportunity for a(n) 【4】 to classical music. The great symphonies of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven are not museum pieces we should listen to only if we want to 【5】 ourselves with some music history. Now are they a decoration or a relaxation exercise for the quickened pace of life.
They are more than what a radio station for classical music once promised - “your oasis(绿洲) of well-being.” They are timeless compositions that 【6】 all the uncertainties and insecurities of this new period. They can support us in our search for meaning. Beethoven, for example, was convinced that man had the capacity to change for the better and to go throughout life. This is why there is so much hope in his music. His symphonies was mean to 【7】 people forward.
Classic music 【8】 our senses and emotions in such a way that we were thrown back onto ourselves. It 【9】 to listeners to make use of their own reason and reflect on their actions. Music’s sole purpose is to be experienced. That experience, in turn, is why music can change our perceptions(认知) of ourselves and thereby our interactions with others.
【10】 to explain this powerful impact of music will always remain unsatisfying, but this much is certain: aesthetic(审美的) experiences can transform people.
