21、Houseplant collections have become a popular social media trend. For many people, tending to plants has surfaced as a hobby that enables them to experience greater comfort and beauty from the presence of living things sharing their space. “【1】 They include lowering stress, decreasing depression, improving productivity and uplifting mood, ”says Jamie Jones, PhD. a psychotherapist in Washington, D. C.
【2】 Anyone starting to care for plants should be patient and allow themselves time to learn the basics. Here are two plants that experts recommend for bringing mental health benefits:
Snake plant. These popular indoor plants have a striking appearance, with dark green sword-shaped leaves, It is very easy to care for. and it thrives in spaces with low sunlight and filters the air. 【3】
Lavender. Well known for its relaxing scent, lavender has a calming effect, aids in reducing stress and promotes sleep. You can clip and dry the leaves and put them in a bowl or even sprinkle them into your bath.

For instance, is there enough space for plants in areas where you spend a lot of time? 【4】 If you have a small space or aren’t sure how much time you’re willing to invest in it, starting out with a lot of plants could be overwhelming. “Just one plant can make a difference It can engage you by its smell or color that creates a positive mood response with every interaction. ”says Jones.

22、 Despite the negative international headlines that have hit Huawei over the past few months, its consumer business continues to thrive. The Chinese technology giant replaced Apple as the secondlargest smartphone player by global market share last year. It's firmly the biggest vendor(销售商) in China.
Chinese consumers say they've been attracted to Huawei's newest features, the price points and the fact that it's a domestic brand.“Using Huawei's mobile phones is supporting domestic brands. We hope our brands can go international，” Vikey, a Guangzhoubased Huawei user, told CNBC. She added that Huawei phones are “costeffective” and have good features while iPhones are “more of a trend”. One of the key features that Huawei introduced was a triplelens camera on its P20 Pro, which was launched last year.
For the next 12 months, the iPhone lacks one of the most appealing features of current winners in the Chinese smartphone market, the triplelens camera. The Huawei P20 Pro led the march.
Retailers (零销售) are slashing (大幅消减) iPhone prices across China as consumers say the phones aren't worth the cost. Apple's latest iPhone models are facing huge discounts in China as retailers try to sell the struggling devices. That comes as the topoftheline Apple smartphones have posted poor China sales on what experts say are toohigh prices for the world's largest smartphone market and a lack of innovative features compared to local competitors like Huawei. The technology giant itself acknowledged earlier this month that unexpectedly low sales in the Chinese market would likely lead to worse than anticipated first quarter profits.
One of the most recent iPhone cost cuts in the country came from Suning, a large Chinese retailer, which changed the price of the 128GB version of the iPhone XR from 6,999 yuan to 5,799 yuan — a 1,200 yuan discount.
Other retailers in China are also putting their iPhones on sale. Sunion, an Apple reseller, was advertising 700 yuan off for both the 128GB and 256GB versions of the iPhone XR. Ecommerce site Pinduoduo, which allows thirdparties to sell products, also had hefty(很大的) discounts across all of the latest iPhone models.
【1】What does the underlined word “thrive” probably mean in the first paragraph?
A.Reduce. B.Remain.
C.Threaten. D.Increase.
【2】Which of the following is one of the Huawei's characters?
A.More of a trend. B.Costeffective.
C.Toohigh prices. D.A lack of innovative features.
【3】Which of the following is a medium?
A.Suning. B.Sunion.
C.CNBC. D.Pinduoduo.
【4】What can we infer from the text?
A.Updating of technology counts.
B.Advertising of the products matters.
C.The sale strategy is invisible.
D.The iPhone still leads the trend in China.
23、 Long the symbolic face of endangered species in China, the giant panda has made significant progress in recent years. In the 1980s, only about 1,216 pandas were left in the wild, but the most recent calculation counted more than 1,800.
The increased numbers could be due to improved survey methods or true growth from better protection measures. In either case, pandas still face plenty of threats, of which habitat loss is the main one to survival. Human growth in their areas, combined with climate change has led to the loss of livable land. In addition, pandas have been facing dangers from illegal hunting.
Because pandas are now distributed across China in groups, with each group separated from the others due to habitat destruction, the Chinese government is creating a huge national park in southwestern China to protect them. Giant Panda National Park will cover 10,476 square miles (27,132 square kilometers), which is nearly three times the area of Yellowstone National Park. The new park will make an effort to reunite populations that have become separated from one another.
This project “takes the long view,” Bob Tansey, China policy adviser for The Nature Conservancy, tells National Geographic. “Generally, pandas are doing well. But what will they need in the future? Connectivity.”
The park’s connectivity should give isolated(独居的)pandas a better chance to breed. Giant pandas have a very low reproductive rate, with females generally usually giving birth every two years, the WWF reports. The new park eventually should give them room to find mates, thus resulting in more young pandas. After all, habitat will remain patchy until degraded lands are restored and stronger land-use restrictions come into effect that make wildlife corridors(廊道) possible.
The park also aims to promote the local economy, the Associated Press reports. An official involved in the park’s planning tells the state-run China Daily this project would help ease poverty among the 170,000 people living within the park’s proposed territory. The government is offering financial support to encourage people living in the area to relocate, according to National Geographic. Some areas of the park also eventually will allow tourism.
【1】What’s the main idea of the second paragraph?
A.The main challenges pandas still face.
B.The dangers humans bring to the pandas.
C.The reason for the loss of pandas’ habitats.
D.The protection measures taken to pandas.
【2】What can we learn about Giant Panda National Park?
A.It has been used for many years. B.It has reunited different pandas.
C.It is set up by the local government. D.It is larger than Yellowstone National Park.
【3】What does Bob Tansey expect of the project ?
A.It’ll house more isolated pandas.
B.It’ll favor female pandas with babies.
C.It’ll benefit the process of reproducing.
D.It’ll serve as a comfortable habitat for pandas.
【4】Why will tourism get permission in this panda park?
A.Tourism helps gain high profits.
B.Tourism accelerates the speed of allocation.
C.Tourism results in economic boom absolutely.
D.Tourism contributes to lessening the economic pressure.
24、Do you suffer from cybersickness？
The rise of mobile phones has been blamed for a number of social ills, but your smart phone may also be making you physically sick as well. Scientists have identified a condition called “cybersickness”, which they say is the digital version of motion sickness. The phenomenon, which affects up to 80 percent of the population who own smart phones or tablets, leads to feelings of sickness and unsteadiness. It is caused by seeing fast motion on a screen, which covers anything from a car chase in a film to scrolling through web pages on your phone.
The more realistic the visual content appears to you, the higher your chances of getting cybersickness are . The condition was identified in a piece in the New York Times in which British and US experts said that it needed solving. Motion sickness leaves sufferers feeling ill because they feel movement in your muscles and your inner ear but do not see it. The mismatch in digital sickness is the opposite—you see movement on the screen but do not feel it. The effect is the same and the symptoms include a headache, wanting to throw up, confusion and the need to sit down. Often cybersickness shows itself in a subtle way and sufferers put it down to stress or eyestrain.
Steven Rauch, a professor of otolaryngology（耳鼻喉科学） at Harvard Medical School, said: “Your sense of balance is different from other senses in that it has lots of inputs. When those inputs don’t agree, that’s when you feel dizziness and sickness. ”
Some studies that have been carried out into cybersickness found that women are more susceptible than men, the New York Times reported. Those who have Type A’ personalities—meaning they are confident and determined—are more likely to suffer from cybersickness as well. Among those who have reported experiencing the condition have been video gamers who spend hours playing fast paced games. Engineers at Oculus VR, the virtual headset manufacturer, have admitted that digital motion sickness is one of their biggest problems.
【1】From the text, we know that cybersickness ______.
A. is completely equal to motion sickness
B. affects up to 80% of the population.

C. Motion sickness means sufferers see movement but do not feel it.
D. Motion sickness means sufferers don’t see or feel movement

25、In the sport of track and field, athletes compete not only with one another but against themselves, and with each race they try to achieve a new personal best.
As a student in Omaha Burke High School, Blake Cerveny was running in a race. Aiming to _________ his own personal record, after a fast start, he continued to _________ himself hard.

26、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
We’ve all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence.
What’s the problem? It’s possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence. It’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it’s awkward and challenging, or we think it’s annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it’s an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.
Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease(润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. “Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk”, he explains. “The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.”
In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction(互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. “It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband,” says Dunn. “But interactions with peripheral(边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also.”
Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with “Small talk is the basis of good manners,” he says.
