21、 From Madrid to Buenos Aires to Panama City to Lisbon, President Xi Jinping has tirelessly promoted the building of a community of shared future for mankind, and the Belt and Road Initiative(倡议) as a means to achieve that.
But all don’t see it that way. While some are quick to see its positive potentials, other countries insist on viewing it skeptically. There have been the usual doubts about the intention behind, although the mysterious threat they speak of is one they seem unable to explain clearly.
To some of them, it is a vague assumption that investments from China are potential “debt traps” that call for extreme caution or “threats to national security”. That is why the business combinations involving Chinese companies which would be mutually( 相互地)beneficial have hit the rocks. The Chinese telecommunications technology giant Huawei, for instance, has found the doors to the 5G telecommunications markets of advanced countries closed to it on “national security” grounds. Likewise, the European Union has agreed on a framework regulating foreign investment(投资 ) particularly those from China on the same account.
Even as Chinese and Portuguese leaders discuss bilateral( 双边的)cooperation under the Belt and Road, there is no lack of concern about “Chinas influence”. But existing EU rules do not forbid Lisbon from seeking such a partnership. If Lisbon sees no harm from foreign investment, no outsider is in a position to prevent it from making a choice in its own best interests.
Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Costa has reminded EU decision-makers of his country's desire for foreign investment, and advised the latter to avoid taking “the path of protectionism”. It was a timely reminder.
Facing the challenges in today, s world, China and the countries that have embraced the Belt and Road are convinced it is the way to common development and the world’s lasting peace and stability.
【1】Some countries that hold a negative attitude towards the Initiative mainly doubt its______
A. power B. mystery C. intention D. potential
【2】What does the underlined part “hit the rocks” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Fallen Into a trap B. become a hit
C. made a difference D. failed to work out
【3】It can be learned from the passage that________
A. Huawei has caused serious security problems abroad
B. the EU will take relatively strict measures on Chinese investment
C. the Road and Belt Initiative has gained much popularity for “China’s influence”
D. China's investment in Portugal has been extremely smooth
【4】What is the authors attitude towards Portuguese Prime Ministers advice
A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
22、New parents should carry their babies upward and facing outwards to improve the baby's development, a study says.
Pulitzer prize-winning author, Jared Diamond, said western parents could learn a lot from some more traditional societies, such as some tribes(部落) in the Amazon and Africa. That is because they carry their babies around and their child-raising methods are helpful. Unlike a pram(婴儿车), these traditional methods could help parents raise children with good qualities, such as confidence and curiosity.
Jared Diamond is a professor at the University of California in Los Angeles. His study result is based on most of his observations when he visited tribes in New Guinea. He spent 50 years working there. And he lived there with people who were still using stone tools. And other scientists have closely studied other groups including the Pygmies of African rainforests.
"Many different methods have already been tested by natural experiments: different societies have been raising their children differently for a long time."
"However, some traditional child-raising methods can really help a baby's development. To comfort a crying baby quickly, allow them to sleep with their parents. The physical contact can make a baby feel safe."
"The methods that people living in the African rainforest use to raise their children may have become 'fashionable' in the modern world, but I suggest it's time to consider some of them seriously again." Jared Diamond said.
【1】What does Jared Diamond advise new parents to do?
A．Give up prams and carry their babies around.
B．Bring up their babies themselves.
C．Talk with their babies as much as they can.
D．Push their babies around in prams.
【2】What does the second paragraph mainly discuss?
A．The difference of child-raising methods between modem societies and traditional societies.
B．Different customs of some traditional societies in the Amazon and Africa.
C．The advantages and disadvantages of parenting methods of some tribes in the Amazon and Africa.
D．Why western parents should learn parenting methods from traditional societies.
【3】For what purpose did Jared Diamond visit tribes in New Guinea?
A．To help the people there.
B．To do his experiments.
C．To meet some scientists.
D．To go on a business trip.
【4】Jared Diamond's attitude towards the child-raising methods of people living in the African rainforest is ______.
A．negative
B．doubtful
C．objective
D．positive
23、Whether you’re eating at a fancy restaurant or dining in someone’s home，proper table manners are likely to help you make a good impression．According to a US expert，Emily Post，“All rules of table manners are made to avoid ugliness．”
While Henry Hitchings of the Los Angeles Times admits that good manners can reduce social conflict，he points out that mostly their purpose is protective – they turn our natural warrior like selves into more elegant ones．
So where did table manners come from？
In medieval England，a writer named Petrus Alfonsi took the lead to urge people not to speak with their mouths full．And King David I of Scotland also proposed that any of his people who learned to eat more neatly be given a tax deduction (减除)．
Disappointingly，that idea never caught on．It was during the Renaissance，when there were real technical developments，opinions of correct behavior changed for good． “None of these was more significant than the introduction of the table fork,” wrote Hitchings．“Gradually，as forks became popular，they brought the new way of eating，making it possible，for instance，to consume berries without making one’s fingers dirty．”
Forks were introduced to Britain in 1608 and 25 years later，the first table fork reached America． Yet while most of the essentials (基本要素) are the same on both sides of the Atlantic，there are a few clear differences between what’s normal in the US and what holds true in the UK．For example，in the US，when food needs cutting with a knife，people generally cut a bite，then lay aside the knife and switch the fork to their right hand． Then they pick up one bite at a time．By contrast，Britons keep the fork in the left hand and don’t lay the knife down．
Though globalization has developed a new，simpler international standard of table manners，some people still stick with the American cut and switch method． The Los Angeles Times noted，“They are hanging on to a form of behavior that favors manners above efficiency．”
【1】What does the story mainly talk about？
A． The importance of proper table manners．
B． The development of table manners in Western countries．
C． Some unwritten rules of table manners in the US and UK．
D． Differences between American and British table manners．
【2】The underlined phrase “caught on” in the passage probably means ______．
A． worked in practice
B． became popular
C． drew attention
D． had a positive effect
【3】Which of the following events influenced people’s table manners most according to the article？
A． The introduction of forks．
B． The tax deduction policy．
C． The rise of the Renaissance．
D． Petrus Alfonsi’s efforts in promoting table manners．
【4】What can we conclude from the article？
A． British and American table manners are completely different from each other．
B． American people pay more attention to their table manners than British people do．
C． With globalization，the American cut and switch method has been abandoned in the US．
D． British people’s way of using a knife and fork may be more efficient than American people’s．
24、Our habits shape our daily existence and our future. Making small happy changes to your habits can be life-changing. Here are some happy habits to try.
【1】
People who enjoy learning are more likely to report being satisfied with their lives. Being open to trying new things engages your mind and encourages you to take positive risks.【2】.Something like changing up the route of your morning walk or ordering takeout from a different restaurant on a Friday night can help shake things up and keep life fresh.
Experiment with a new hobby
Having at least one hobby you enjoy doing is linked with feeling happier. It doesn’t matter so much what you choose -- be it painting, gardening or ballroom dancing -- as long as you find a new hobby that feels enjoyable. Hobbies often have the added bonus of building and strengthening relationships with others.【3】.
Unplug from social media
