21、Before COVID-19, a friend, named Mark, who lived in a southern English village, used to commute to London. He'd leave home at 7:45 a.m. and return at 9:00 p.m., upset and worn out. He rarely saw his children, let alone his neighbours.

Now he works remotely from his garden, takes the kids to school and has used his spare time to volunteer to manage a village tennis club. He has gone from a commuter to a key member of the community. He isn't alone. In the former commuter belts of big cities, remote work is now creating the community. Is this a net gain for humanity, or the disadvantages outweigh the advantages?

Commuting worsened the decline of life. Ever fewer Americans knew their neighbours, worked as a volunteer or went bowling in clubs any more. Every 10 minutes of commuting results in 10 percent fewer social connections. The Office for National Statistics found fewer chats or exchanges of favours with neighbours, a weakening sense of local belonging and falling membership of "political, voluntary, professional or recreational organizations" in 2018 Compared with 2012.

I'd seen this over the decades in the neighbourhood where I finished school and where I still had family. At some point the church on the high street was replaced by a pub. Once people stopped gathering in pubs too, the place became a bad chain restaurant. I returned to the neighbourhood last month. COVID-19 has transformed it into a 15-minute suburb, where all the necessities of life are a walk away. Many residents now work from home. Everyone goes for a morning run, exchanging favours and, afterwards, parents appear in local coffee shops or hot-yoga Studios.

You may make fun of these new urban daily life all you like, but they are what makes up the 21st-century community. After a week there, I was waving to familiar faces on the street. It felt like the suburban idyll in the 1950s recalled by the Beatles in "Penny Lane", with the coffee shops where “all the people that come and go/stop and say hello”.

Some people worry that the neighbourhood revival will kill off city centres. But in the long term, that won't happen in attractive cities. The people living in suburbs are going to London a day or so a week, and they'll go more often when nightlife and cultural areas revive. They love central London. Some would happily move there. They just don't want to commute there every day. David Milder, an expert living downtown, sees Central Business Districts giving way to "Central Social Districts".

【1】Which of the following can best describe Mark' life before COVID-19?

A．Normal.

B．Stable.

C．Peaceful.

D．Stressful.

【2】What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A．The changes of people's lifestyles.

B．The impacts commuting has on life.

C．The diversity of means of transport.

D．The appearance of local communities.

【3】What does the author want to express by mentioning the suburban idyll?

A．Community life makes people live more leisurely.

B．There are great differences between communities.

C．People long desperately to live in the countryside.

D．New urban life needs people to work in the fields.

【4】What is the author's attitude towards the neighbourhood revival?

A．Unclear.

B．Intolerant.

C．Optimistic.

D．Doubtful.

22、   It was a red-letter day in the history of medicine-“Target Zero Day”, May 8th, 1980, marking the complete removal of smallpox, a terrifying disease. It was untreatable but, luckily, it turned out that vaccination (接种疫苗) provided good protection- -and that mass immunization (免疫) could wipe out the small- pox virus by blocking its spread.

According to legend, vaccination was invented by Dr Edward Jenner. Jenner showed that healthy children vaccinated with cowpox, a mild infection of cattle, could not catch smallpox. He was supposedly inspired by a comment from a local milkmaid, but there is evidence that the idea came from a medical friend, John Fester, who had experimented with cowpox. Nevertheless, Jenner deserves credit for introducing vaccination into the medical mainstream with his paper published in 1798.

In 1966, 160 years after the prediction that vaccination would clean off the disease, the World Health Organization launched its Smallpox Eradication Programme. This heroic 1-year drive was directed by two American public health doctors, DA Henderson and Bill Forge. Their hardships were enormous: One WHO official even promised to eat a tyre if smallpox was removed; Henderson promised to send him the tyre and wished him good appetite. But Henderson and Foege's hard work paid off--three years after the last smallpox case was informed (to make sure no outbreaks had been missed) Target Zero Day was declared.

40 years on, should we remember Target Zero Day? First, to celebrate victory of preventative medicine and freedom from a cruel disease. Then, we must remember the victims of smallpox. It had previously killed 1 in 12 worldwide. In 1914, a Canadian professor warned against forgetting smallpox, which was fast disappearing from North America. It went on to kill at least another 250 million people -- three times more than both world wars combined. Target Zero Day also reminds us of undefeated infections, including polio, measles, malaria, and of course the coronavirus Covid-19. Let's recognize Target Zero Day for what it is: a milestone in world history and a monument to the art of the possible.

【1】What inspired Jenner to invent the vaccination?

A.A medical friend. B.A local milkmaid.

C.Cattle. D.Children.

【2】What is the writer's purpose of mentioning the WHO official's promise?

A.To introduce the support from the WHO.

B.To stress the importance of good appetite.

C.To suggest the difficulty in removing smallpox.

D.To show his determination to carry on the drive.

【3】Where can you find the figures that best support “smallpox is a terrifying disease?

A.In paragraph 1. B.In paragraph 2.

C.In paragraph 3. D.In paragraph 4.

【4】What message does the text convey?

A.A promise made is a debt unpaid. B.A trouble shared is a trouble halved.

C.Something is better than nothing. D.Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

23、Beautiful coral reefs (珊瑚礁) in Thai seas have been gradually worsening due to global warming that causes coral bleaching, in addition to certain human activities without proper control and environmental consciousness. Recently, researchers from Thai university Chulalongkom have created 3D-printed coral reefs modeled on the nature of real corals called Innovareef to accelerate the recovery of the coral reef ecosystem.

Innovareef corals are coated with calcium and phosphate nutrients (钙磷营养物) that corals need to thrive and consist of flat surfaces. The reefs’ holes serve as habitats and hiding places for many sea animals. Artificial reefs also make use of hydrodynamics technology to enhance their resistance to tidal forces and ensure that they stay in place. Finally, the PH (level of acidity) of the selected type of cement used for the reefs is close to that of seawater, and the design concept is that of Lego, easily assembled (组装) and disassembled blocks that are easy to transport and fix.

“The Innovareef is not too large. It’s light-weighted and can be carried by anyone thus saving transportation costs. You can simply put it at any desired location in the sea and then dive down to put all the units together to complete the Innovareef. Not even five minutes afterward, fish and several ocean creatures start to come in to survey and make it their new habitat, leading to biodiversity around the Innovareef. More importantly, the research data indicates that the settlement and growth rates of planula on the Innovareef are better than those on other artificial reefs,”said Associate Professor Dr. Nantarika Chansue at Chulalongkorn University.

Innovareef is the hope for the effective recovery of natural coral reefs. Now the team is focused on adding more details so that the new structures look more like natural reefs. For the future generations of Innovareef, the team will develop a more specific design for each sea species in the area.

【1】What function is expected of the Innovareef?

A．To extend the life of corals.

B．To monitor the growth of corals.

C．To help restore natural coral reefs.

D．To protect coral reefs from human destruction.

【2】What do we know about the Innovareef from paragraph 2?

A．It is highly resistant to heat.

B．It has low manufacturing costs.

C．It provides rich nutrients for fish.

D．It is portable and easy to assemble.

【3】What are Dr. Nantarika Chansue’s words mainly about?

A．The advantages of the Innovareef.

B．The inspiration for the Innovareef.

C．The methods of improving ocean habitats.

D．The importance of protecting biodiversity.

【4】What will researchers probably do in the future?

A．Apply the Innovareef on a large scale.

B．Carry out more tests on the Innovareef.

C．Make a specific design of the Innovareef.

D．Conduct further research on natural coral reefs

24、Beat the Burglar

Don’t invite crime -- take basic, sensible precautions (预防). Your house and possession are valuable and must be properly protected. When you buy a lock, you buy time. The best prevention is delay and noise which could mean discovery.

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。

The Act of Love

I hate pulling weeds! I thought. It's hot. It's sticky. And it's Saturday!

Still, I made sure to pull every stinking（臭的）weed out of that flower garden. My dad was Mr. Perfecto Lawnman. He could detect a single weed a mile away. And if he spotted as much as one weed, I'd be back pulling weeds for the rest of the day.

"Dad. I'm done." I shouted from the garden, feeling sure that I had done a good job. He stormed out of the house. "Don't be yelling outside, Kathy," he grumbled（抱怨）. "Use those two feet of yours and come get me."

Suddenly, a sick feeling came over me. It was the kind of feeling I had when my dad was going to find a stinking weed. "Geez," Dad said, waving an irritated（恼怒的）finger, "you missed a spot." I sighed, went to the spot and pulled the weeds. Afterward, I looked back at Dad, still standing there with a scowl（怒容）on his face, which made me wonder if he even liked me.

Just then, a wet tongue washed over my face, breaking me from my thoughts. Sugar, our dog, looked at me gently. I smiled. "At least you like me."

Two weeks later, on the morning of another weed picking weekend, I was sick, sweaty and feverish, and aching all over. "Let's go," Dad said, lifting me from the bed, "You need to see a doctor." "Please, no," I said, in a shallow, sickly voice, "I'd rather pull weeds." He took me anyway, and the doctor said I had pneumonia（肺炎）. The only nice thing about it was that I didn't have to pull weeds.
