21、It would be nice if eating a particular food could magically protect you against all the boring illnesses. It’s not that simple, of course. Hand washing remains your best defense against picking up illnesses, and sleep is a strong defense too. But what you eat does play an important part. Though it isn’t because of just one or two foods, what you eat in your daily diet have an effect on how weak or strong your immunity(免疫力)is.
We’d better eat fruits and vegetables every day. They contain key vitamins needed in the immune system. For example, Vitamin C and Ain foods help immune system work well to keep us healthy. Remember that eating the actual fruit or veggie is better than eating single-vitamin supplements(补品).
Getting too little protein(蛋白质) can weaken your immune system. Protein-rich foods supply the amino acids(氨基酸)you need to build important proteins in the body. Animal foods like beef and pork also contain zinc(锌), which your body uses to make t-cells.
Fermented foods are foods that are naturally protected by bacteria(细菌), and they’re good for the micro biome(微生物).That’s the name for the bacteria that live in your stomach, where a lot of cells in immunity actually live. Fermented foods like yogurt help beneficial bacteria develop fast in the stomach, leaving less room for harmful bacteria.
【1】What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us?
A.Hand washing is necessary.
B.Illnesses make people bored.
C.Immunity has much to do with your diet.
D.More sleep does good to health.
【2】Why does the writer suggest we eat fruits and vegetables every day?

D.Eating single-vitamin foods does little good.
【3】What can we infer from paragraph 3?
A.Amino acids can help to make t-cells.
B.Healthy body needs plenty of protein.
C.The immune system can be hurt easily.
D.We should eat animal foods as many as possible.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A.Different foods have different uses.
B.Fruits and vegetables keep us healthy.
C.Many illnesses do harm to the immunity.
D.Proper daily diet protects our immune system.
22、The Most Beautiful Beaches in Tulum
With a colorful arts scene and many wonderful restaurants, Tulum is one of the best travel destinations in Mexico, especially this town’s Caribbean coastline. Here’s our summary of the most beautiful beaches in Tulum.
Playa Ruinas
Playa Ruinas is home to well-preserved Mayan ruins overlooking the Caribbean Sea. The beach has whites and, blue waters and a site of historical importance. The top of Castillo was built as a watchtower in the 13th century and is now the third most visited archaeological site in Mexico after Teotihuacán and Chichén Itzá.
Playa Paraíso
Playa Paraíso is another beautiful spot in Tulum. The sand, surrounded by palm trees, is a popular place for volleyball lovers—and it’s large enough to ensure that it’s never overcrowding. There are also plenty of restaurants where you can enjoy lots of food, plus boats offering diving journeys in the warm sea.
Las Palmas
Las Palmas owns peaceful sand and gentle blue waves, more peaceful than Playa Paraíso. You won’t find dealers or restaurants in the area. Although this may be less convenient, it also means Las Palmas is the perfect place if you’re looking to get away from the crowded beaches.
Akumal Beach
Driving a car for less than 30 minutes from central Tulum, Akumal Beach is great for family outings and diving. Clearly busier than the peaceful beaches around Tulum, Akumal is near many bars and restaurants. Beach umbrellas are available to rent, and delicious food and ice-cold beers are on offer all day long.
【1】Which beach has both beautiful scenery and an ancient building?
A.Playa Paraiso.
B.Playa Ruinas.
C.Las Palmas.
D.Akumal Beach.
【2】What can visitors do on Playa Paraíso?
A.Play volleyball.
B.Watch gentle blue waves.
C.Visit an archaeological site.
D.Buy an umbrella.
【3】What do Playa Paraíso and Akumal Beach have in common?

D.They’re not far from central Tulum.
23、“Don't delete your browser (浏览器) history,” Lin Kai warns his 11-year-old son, who is supposed to be having lectures delivered by his schoolteachers. Mr. Lin has reason to be anxious.
To contain the spread of Covid-19, the authorities have closed schools and universities. “But study must not stop,” says the education ministry. Under its orders, the country's biggest exercise in remote learning is under way, watched over by parents. Mr. Lin, who lives in the eastern city of Hangzhou, has caught his son being distracted by online games. He wants his son to know that he will inspect the browser for evidence of such naughtiness.
There are other ways to enforce discipline. Liu Weihua, who teaches at Wuhan University of Technology, places more emphasis on how students perform in classroom discussions, which are conducted using video-conferencing platforms such as Ding talk by Alibaba and Ketang by Tencent.
The interruption is felt most keenly by pupils in the final year of secondary school. That is the year leading up to the Gaokao, the university-entrance exam. Many parents feared that online learning is a poor substitute for classroom instruction. Hou Kaixuan, who will sit the Gaokao in the northern city of Zhangjiakou this summer, eagerly waits for the re-opening of his school. “I'm simply more productive in a physical classroom,” he says.
When schools and universities eventually re-open, classrooms may be different, says Yue Qiu, a secondary-school teacher in Beijing. The teacher-student relationship will become “less hierarchical (等级分明的)”, he predicts. That is because China's extended experiment' with online learning is reducing the typical reserve (矜持) between instructor and pupil. Teachers who were previously reluctant to give out their contact details on WeChat, a messaging app, now rely on it to respond to students' questions. At Mr. Yue's school, students may even call their teachers to ask for feedback. If he is right, such a breaking-down of barriers could be one of the few happy by products of Covid-19.
【1】What does the underlined word “distract” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A.Frightened.
B.Attracted.
C.Admitted.
D.Impressed.
【2】In Hou Kaixuan's opinion, online classes can be described as ________.
A.excellent
B.productive
C.informal
D.inefficient
【3】What's the main idea of the last paragraph?
A.When schools reopen, teachers and students will probably feel awkward.
B.Teachers and students are willing to contact each other on WeChat.
C.The relationship between teachers and students may become better.
D.Students may ask their teachers for feedback in real classrooms.
24、With at least a dozen wildfires going through western North Carolina in the fall of 2016, it would take more than one local fire department to fight the flames. In early November, the federal government sent over a team of firefighters from the Interagency Hotshot Crews.
Most of the Hotshots stayed at Hinton Rural Life Center in Hayesville, North Carolina. The center reached out to the media and community groups, hoping to get four volunteers per day to help things run smoothly for their firefighting guests. They didn’t expect a response quite so unbelievable.
Within two days, over 200 people—about a third of the town’s population—reached out to offer help, according to the center’s website. Meals and accommodation were already being taken care of, so they went above and beyond the basic things. Community members donated over 1,000 goods, including sports drinks, snacks, eye drops and so on.
Even the kids in Hayesville participated, sending thank-you cards, pictures and signs to motivate the Hotshots. The team received over 2,000 thank-you notes. After the fires were put out and the firefighters were preparing to go home, the town threw a parade(游行)to thank them and wish them well.
The firefighters were at a loss by the generosity from Hayesville. They put together their own thank-you in a YouTube video.
“You guys don’t know how much you mean, all the support you guys give us, ’’ says Ron, a firefighter from Oregon, in the video. “Out of four years when I’ve been fighting fire, this is about the most hospitable(好客的)state and county I’ve ever been in. And it brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it.”
【1】What is unexpected according to the text?
A. The difficulty in putting out wildfires.
B. The firefighters’ contributions to the town.
C. The locals’ attitude towards the center’s request.
D. The firefighters’ response to the wildfires.
【2】What can we know about Hayesville from the text?
A. It is a large town.
B. It is a small town.
C. It is a wealthy town.
D. It’s tough to live in.
【3】Why are even the kids in Hayesville mentioned in the text?
A. To show how cute they were.
B. To encourage the firefighters to be grateful.
C. To lead in the reason for creating the YouTube video.
D. To stress the locals’ enthusiasm for the firefighters.
【4】What can we infer about the firefighters from the last paragraph?

B. They were kind to the locals.
C. They were welcome everywhere.
