21、 Next week, strangers with a truck will take away everything we own, except the clothes on our backs, the car we will drive, and as much stuff as we can pack into it. It's called moving. Some people do it often. For others, like me, it's a rare experience. In all my adult years, I've moved only three times.
My first husband and I moved into our first house with a bed, our clothes and a few gifts. That was a lifetime ago. Over the years, I filled that house with three children, a few dogs and enough stuff to reach the ceiling.
When the kids grew up, I lost my husband to cancer, and I began to learn about letting go. First, I let go of the idea of being in control. Life isn’t about being in charge of what happens; it's about being in charge of what we do with it. Next, I let go of putting off the things I care most about, like keeping in touch with the people that mean the most to me. I let go of the people whose lives are about anger or hatred, and tried instead to surround myself with those who shine with kindness. Finally, I let go of being alone---I remarried. I eventually moved to a new city with my new husband, and after that move, I promised I'd stop collecting meaningless things. But 12 years later, here I am, still learning about letting go.
Yesterday, while cleaning out a dresser, I found a box filled with old keepsakes. Nothing in that box may mean much to anyone, except me. They are treasures for me because of the memories they preserve. We finally decided to keep them, hold them close and never let them go. We’ll all move someday from this world to the next, but we won't need a truck to do it. We'll take nothing with us and leave behind a memory of the life we lived, the mistakes we made, and all the love and kindness we tried to show. That memory might not be a treasure, but if we're lucky, someone will keep it and hold it close and never let it go.
【1】According to paragraph 3, which of the following might the author advise?
A.Never let all the memories go as they are.
B.Put off the things that mean the most to you.
C.Wherever you go, you should be kind to others.
D.Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you deal with it.
【2】The underlined word 'keepsakes' in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to_________.
A.something memorable B.something expensive
C.something unpleasant D.something beautiful
【3】What is the author's main purpose in writing the article?
A.To stress the importance of letting the past go.
B.To give advice on how to make choices before moving.
C.To share how she learned to make important choices in life.
D.To explain how our memories can pass on to later generations.
22、New Year’s resolutions you should be making about time management
You likely already have too many goals and too many disappointments from this past year. So as you look ahead to 2020, the idea of adding more seems kind of exciting but also a bit forbidding. That’s why as a time management coach, I recommend that you do the opposite: 【1】
Know less
It’s okay not to be up-to-date on everything. To cut down on these distractions, you might turn off social media notifications on your phone. 【2】 Unsubscribe from notification emails or newsletters you don’t read regularly.
Resolution: I resolve to be less aware of “interesting” things so I can be interested in and present for the people around me.
Care less
This one may sound a bit unfeeling.You may want to be a kind and thoughtful person for your friends and family and to serve your clients well. 【3】 What that means is that you say “No” a lot.
Here is a way:
I am at the service of my customers Monday through Friday, during the day. 【4】 Being able to unplug from work in my personal time increases my ability to serve my clients well when I’m in the office.
Resolution: 【5】 Consequently, I can match my time with my highest priorities and take better care of the people closest to me.
Is it easy to do less? No. But will it lead you to the best outcomes in the end? Yes. You’ll thank yourself for it at the end of 2020.
A．Resolve to do less.
B．Contact people face to face.
C．I have to manage my time strategically.
D．But I don’t feel the need to be available 24/7.
E．Alternatively, you could offload the apps altogether.
F．I resolve to care less about what others want me to do.
G．But you can’t care about everyone who wants your attention professionally.
23、 Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is gaining global popularity. According to a government white paper, TCM has been introduced in 183 countries and regions around the world.
Westerners’ understanding of TCM, however, may be limited to acupuncture(针灸), cupping(拔罐) and massage(按摩). For instance, the purple, injury-like marks left on U.S. swimmer Michael Phelps’ back from cupping for the purpose of relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2016.
As a matter of fact, Chinese herbs play a more important role in getting rid of diseases and keeping the body in good condition in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment. It is therefore disappointing to know that while 103 World Health Organization member countries have given approval to the practice of acupuncture, not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine. TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing partly to the slow development of Chinese herbs.
Herbs are made into pills, powder and soup, and the kind of herbs used, their quality and quantity, and the processing of the ingredients jointly determine the effectiveness of the prescription. Compared with Western medicine, which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods, TCM lacks standardization, with the chemical composition and functions of its medicines being unclear and their effects being unstable. Fortunately, standardization has improved in recent decades, with an increasing number of factories producing patented TCM drugs.
Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM prescription(处方) drugs is the lack of creativity. While Western medicine-making companies come up with new products every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicines according to prescriptions handed down from the past. Chinese chemist Tu Youyou’s winning the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her research into malaria(疟疾) treatment may drive creativity to some extent in China’s TCM industry. However, the current state of affairs cannot be changed within a short time.
【1】Why does the author mention the example of Michael Phelps?
A.Because Phelps has an international fame for his interest in TCM.
B.Because cupping is a kind of important TCM treatment.
C.Because currently westerners have a preference for TCM
D.Because westerners have rather limited knowledge about TCM.
【2】Why don’t some member countries of WHO recognize Chinese herbal medicine?
A.Because Chinese herbs can’t cure diseases as well as western medicine
B.Because they only approve of the practice of acupuncture
C.Because Chinese medicine tastes so bad.
D.Because medicine made out of Chinese herbs develops pretty slowly
【3】Compared with Western medicine, what is the weak point of TCM in Paragraph 4?
A.The methods of processing herbs.
B.The effectiveness of prescription.
C.Lack of proper standardization.
D.Its unstable functions.
【4】The lack of creativity in TCM refers to the fact that_______.
A.medicine-making companies lack creativity
B.prescriptions are passed down from generation to generation
C.Western companies are more experienced
D.medicine-making companies lack driving force and experienced specialists
24、New research published in the journal BMJ Open Sport and Exercise Medicine indicates that men and younger adults have been less physically active during the COVID-19 lockdown.
The study, led by Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) and Ulster University, includes data from 911 UK adults who took part in an online survey which began on 17 March. The research found that 75% of UK adults had met the World Health Organization’s physical activity recommendations of 150 minutes of middling physical activity or 75 minutes of vigorous (剧烈的) physical activity per week, since the introduction of social distancing regulations. This is higher than previous studies carried out before the COVID-19 pandemic, which found that between 58% and 66% of the UK adult population typically meet physical activity guidelines.
The new study found that women, older adults, and those with a higher annual household income were significantly more likely to meet the WHO’s physical activity guidelines. This is the opposite of studies carried out before the pandemic, where men and younger adults were found to have higher levels of physical activity.
Lead author Dr Lee Smith, Reader in Physical Activity and Public Health at ARU, said, “ The overall levels of physical activity are higher than we were expecting. It may be that the UK public have experienced an increase in free time and used this time to be physically active. Additionally, during the early stages of the outbreak, one of the few reasons to leave home was to take part in an hour of exercise. As well as offering a reason to go outside, this may have served as a target for some people. ”
Typically, the proportion (比例) of UK adults meeting physical activity guidelines declines with age. Therefore, there should be additional support offered to older adults to encourage them to sustain this level of physical activity post pandemic.
【1】How long does WHO recommend one exercise per week?
A．2 hours and a half of medium exercise.
B．2 hours of vigorous exercise.
C．150 minutes of vigorous exercise.
D．75 minutes of middling exercise.
【2】Who performed better in meeting the guidelines during the COVID-19 lockdown?
A．Older adults.
B．Teenagers.
C．Younger adults.
D．Middle aged men.
【3】What is behind the overall levels of exercise higher than expected?
A．Higher income.
B．Added spare time.
C．Concern for health.
D．Better education.
【4】What can we know from the last paragraph?
A．The more one earns, the less he works out.
B．The busier one gets, the more he works out.
C．The older one becomes, the less he works out.
D．The less freedom one has, the more he works out.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Back in the day when I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with my life, I was studying to become a firefighter. I was a volunteer fire aide in New York, and was studying at Mission College. As a firefighter, you should always think of other people and try to help other people.
One night after going to class, I was walking home and decided to stop off at a fast food restaurant. I lived in an apartment alone near my college so most of the time I used to get a take-out, I got my food and started to head home when a homeless man walked to me. He looked 20 or so. He was very dirty and obviously very hungry. He asked me for some change to buy a little food. As I was pulling some change out, I had an idea.
I decided to see if he wanted to eat a real dinner, so I asked him to follow me back into the restaurant to order food together. For someone who had been on the fringes(边缘) of society it seemed like he was very surprised at my generosity(慷慨). But to me, it was what any ”human being“ should do or at least offer. He was afraid to go into the restaurant because of shame. But I insisted. When he finally followed me and walked into the restaurant, the people behind the counter refused to let him in, but I told them that I was buying him dinner and he had a right to be there. After some arguments, they finally let him in and he sat down at the table. It seemed like he was relieved a bit to be sitting at a table, I asked him to order whatever he wanted. He only ordered a hamburg, so I had to encourage him to order whatever he wanted.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Finally he ordered three hamburgers and we began to talk.

He stood up and looked at me, open-mouthed.
