21、Keeping Healthy Habits
As the pandemic(瘟疫)drags on, it can be easy to ignore your normal daily habits. 【1】 . Keeping regular mealtimes and bedtimes, for example, can help your child feel safe.
Develop healthy new habits. 【2】 . Even if things like bedtimes have changed without school every day, try to be consistent(一致的)and follow the same schedule(日程表)each day. Make time for activities such as exercise, family dinners, and time for your child to socialize with friends, whether that's done safely in person or online.
Follow safety advice. With different areas facing different rules, it's important to follow the advice of reliable sources such as WHO, and your local public health departments. Playgrounds, schoolyards, and parks are all high-contact areas where your children should follow your instructions about keeping themselves and others safe. 【3】 .
Stress the importance of handwashing. Hand washing might have been a boring, common task in 2019, but now it can be a life-saving measure. 【4】 . To encourage the habit in young children, make up a song to the melody(旋律)of one of your child's favorites and sing it together while they wash their hands.
【5】 . Follow social distancing and other safety protocols yourself, treat others with respect, and protect the vulnerable. Young children are impressionable(易受影响的)and will copy your behavior, so make sure you set a positive example.

22、A herd of 15 Asian elephants has been making its way North across China since March 2020, and nobody is quite sure why.
The herd has covered more than 500 kilometers since they wandered out of their home in the Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve, located in southwestern China along its border with Laos and Myanmar. Authorities in China have tried to keep the animals away from populated areas with piles of fruit and vegetables and physical barriers. The herd was spotted last week on the outskirts (郊区) of Kunming.
“One potential explanation for the elephant migration is overcrowding in the nature reserve these animals once called home,” says George, an elephant specialist at Colorado State University. Asian elephants are endangered, only around 300 surviving in China, but the population living in the reserves of the Xishuangbanna region has been growing in recent years. George says this wayward (任性的) group might have set out to find a new home with less competition for resources.
“We’ve seen elephants expanding their range for decades now, as their populations increase, and they search for more food for the growing herd,” says Becky Chen, a conservation scientist at the Zoological Society of London who has studied elephant-human interactions. Other experts wonder if this is an example of a herd being misled by an inexperienced leader, or if the decision to roam was an almost random choice.
Authorities have instructed residents along the route to stay inside if the elephants are nearby and avoid disturbing the herd. If the animals can’t be turned back to their former forested home, scientists and land managers may need to make provisions (准备) for the elephants to live permanently in Kunming.
Chen says she hopes the situation will raise awareness of human-elephant conflict and elephant conservation. “What we have to learn is not how to solve the problem, but how to increase tolerance,” she says. “How can we use this event to let everybody pay attention to coexistence between people and animals?”
【1】Which is the possible reason for elephant migration?
A.The population of people.
B.Inhabitant loss.
C.Annual migration.
D.An act of a misleading head.
【2】What does the underlined word “roam” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Settle.

D.Accompany.
【3】What may Chen agree with?
A.It takes long to live in harmony with animals.
B.It is important to reflect on how to live with animals.
C.The increasing elephants threaten human’s settlement.
D.The endangered elephants migrate due to human development.
【4】Which section does the story most likely come from in a newspaper?
A.Nature.

D.Life.
23、Have you got any gadgets hanging around your home that you no longer want or use? Between us, we have millions of bits of tech stockpiled in drawers that could be given a new lease of life.
Part of the problem for our unloved gadgets is that many become obsolete quickly because their software doesn’t get updated. Other items are left unused because they’re broken or they’ve become replaced by a fancy new version. Many of these items are electronics, but despite them appearing to be past their sell-by date, they don’t need to end up in landfill. And here are some tips for you to make the most of our unwanted gadgets.
Recycling is the obvious solution
Materials used to make them can be extracted and reused in other things. As an example, Elisabeth Ratcliffe from the Royal Society of Chemistry told the BBC: “There are about thirty different elements just in a smartphone, and many of them are very rare. ” These can be used in touch screens and solar panels.
Repairing is the best approach
Probably the best approach to our throwaway culture is to repair our broken tech. This takes patience and skill, which can be learnt at repair clubs and repair cafés—free meeting places where you’ ll find tools and materials to help you make any repairs you need. In the UK, the interest in mending our stuff and giving it a new life is reflected by the popularity of a TV series called The Repair Shop, where craftspeople rescue and resurrect items their owners thought were beyond saving.
Upcycle is a final option
You can breathe new life into unwanted stuff by transforming it into valuable pieces or collectable retro items. These could be sold on, meaning you can make some cash from your junk and create much needed space in your home!
【1】Which of the following isn’t the reason for the problems of unwanted gadgets?
A.Their software doesn’t get upgraded
B.They are substituted with senior versions
C.They need to end up in landfill
D.They may have passed sell-by date
【2】In which way can you make some profit from dealing with thrown-away gadgets?
A.Recycle them
B.Repair them
C.Upcycle them
D.Reuse them
【3】What is the best title for the passage?
A.How to make our gadgets last longer
B.How to protect environment better
C.The ways to use gadgets effectively
D.The problems of unwanted gadgets
24、The way we do things round here
Some years ago, I was hired by an American bank. I received a letter from the head of the Personnel Department that started, "Dear John, I am quite pleased that you have decided to join us." That "quite" saddened me. I thought he was saying "we're kind of pleased you decided to join us although I wish we had hired someone else." Then I discovered that in American English "quite" sometimes means "very", while in British English it means "fairly".
So the first lesson about working in other countries is to learn the language and by that I don't just mean the words people speak. It is body language, dress, manners, ideas and so on. The way people do things highlights many of the differences we see between cultures(文化).
Some of these differences may be only on the surface-dress, food and hours of work-while others may be deeper and take longer to deal with. Mostly, it is just a question of getting used to the differences and accepting them, like the climate(气候),while getting on with business.
Some of the differences may be an improvement. People are more polite; the service is better; you ask for something to be done and it happens without having to ask again. However, other differences can be troubling, like punctuality(准时).If you invite people to a party at 7 o'clock your guests will consider it polite to turn up exactly on time in Germany, five minutes early in the American Midwest, an hour early in Japan, 15 minutes afterwards in the UK, up to an hour afterwards in Italy and some time in the evening in Greece. I prefer not to use the word "late" because there is nothing wrong with the times people arrive. It is simply the accepted thing to do in their own country.
【1】The author was unhappy as mentioned in Paragraph 1 because he thought______.
A.the American bank didn't think much of him
B.the American bank might hire another person
C.it's difficult to get used to American culture
D.it's easy to misunderstand Americans
【2】The word "highlights" in Paragraph 2 probably means_____.
A.encourages
B.helps to narrow
C.increases
D.draws attention to
【3】According to the author, what should we do with most cultural differences?
A.Ask the native people for help.
B.Understand and accept them.
C.Do things in our own way.
D.Do in-depth research.
【4】When invited to a party the people who are usually punctual are______.
A.Italians
B.Germans
C.Greeks
D.the British
25、With vigorous promotion and extensive participation over the past two years, waste sorting is a new trend that has reshaped the image of campuses across Beijing.
“In the past, sanitation workers sorted the garbage next to the trash cans near the dormitory, _________ a disgusting odor. On windy days, the trash was blown everywhere and we always _________ around it with our hands covering our noses,” says Sun Jiajing, a sophomore at Beijing Forestry University. “Now, we are more active in classifying waste.”
Since a revised guideline on household waste disposal in Beijing was _________ on May 1, 2020, many students have seen their campuses take on a new look that is more pleasant, tidy and appealing.
At Beijing Forestry University, about one in four students are trash-sorting volunteers.
In the Beijing No 20 High School, bins to recycle waste are placed on each floor and students on duty will set their wits to turning trash into _________.
“I received training on trash classification before taking on the role as head of the trash-sorting station. My job is to remind everyone to classify waste and recycle to the best _________,” says Ding Shuyi, a student at the school.
As China pushes _________ the “double reduction” education policy, which aims to ease the burden of _________ homework and off-campus tutoring for primary and middle school students, understanding of waste sorting has been fused into academic teaching via various innovative approaches.
“Our Chinese teachers encourage students to write poetries _________ on waste classification, math teachers lead them to do math on topics such as water conservation, while our music teachers choreographed a ‘waste sorting’ dance with the students,” says Zuo Chunyun, principal of a primary school in the suburban Tongzhou district of the capital.
Zuo adds that students in senior classes will join trash-sorting projects and map out _________ in the form of handwritten newspapers and mind maps. Decorations made from recycled materials are exhibited in the school’s corridors.
The same scene can be seen in Qianjin Primary School, Haidian district. “Garbage can be turned into __________,” says Wang Liping, the principal. “We have raised 100,000 yuan ($15,760) of charity funds by encouraging students and their parents to recycle waste, and the money was used to purchase movie screens for schools in Hotan, Xinjiang.”
According to Liu Jianguo, a professor at Tsinghua University, the implementation of garbage sorting depends on the __________ participation and unremitting efforts of society, which is conducive to the__________ of social civilization.
“Wide participation of students and school staff will help promote garbage sorting to become a new fashion in society,” adds Liu.
Official data shows that over 90 percent of the residents in Beijing have participated in waste classification, and about 85 percent can __________ categorize the garbage. But still, relevant departments are __________ to further raise the ratio.
“Our next move will be more precise supervision of groups that did __________ poorer jobs in sorting out garbage,” says a staffer with the Beijing Municipal Commission of Urban Management.
