26、   Many of us eat purely to satisfy our appetite for delicious food. But due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP), many Chinese people are changing their eating habits.

Due to busy work schedules, ordering simple and quick meals online used to be commonplace (寻常的) for many young people in China. Zhang Xiaoyan, a 30-year-old from Nanjing, Jiangsu province, was one of them. She typically ate in the office and seldom cooked at home on weekdays. Even on weekends, she would prefer takeout food. But amid the NCP outbreak, being trapped at home for an extended (延长的) period has changed her eating habit. Now, she rolls up her sleeves and cooks for herself. “Cooking by myself sometimes is quite time-demanding, but it helps me have a healthy diet,” Zhang told China Daily.

Instead of eating at fast food chains or restaurants, cooking at home has become a nationwide trend. Some even regard sharing food videos on their WeChat Moments at meal times as “a special way to say hello to each other when face-to-face dinner is not possible,” noted China Daily.

Apart from cooking at home, many also eat separately and adopt (采用) the habit of using serving chopsticks and spoons, or gongkuai and gongshao in Chinese.

Influenced by collectivism (集体主义), communal eating habits have been a part of Chinese culture for centuries. For Chinese people, eating one’s own dish would be considered rude during a social gathering. They typically share several dishes laid out in the center of a table and sometimes share utensils (餐具) in the meals to show their respect and closeness.

Though it seems polite, it’s indeed risky. According to World Health Organization, foodborne (食物传播的) diseases are quite common, and saliva (唾液) is one of the most common ways for them to spread. So many cities in China, including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, have already launched initiatives (倡议) for people to order separate meals.

“Healthy eating habits and maintaining good order have become real issues for us. It’s related to people’s health and safety, and it’s also a personal responsibility during the pandemic (大流行),” noted Guangming Daily. These are habits formed amid the pandemic, but as long as they are good for our health, perhaps we should keep them from now on.

【1】How has Zhang Xiaoyan’s eating habit changed?

A.She eats simple and quick meals more often. B.She cooks meals by herself at home.

C.She now orders more takeout food. D.She often copies the meals her friends post on WeChat.

【2】What do Paragraphs 5-7 mainly talk about?

A.How to change communal eating habits.

B.Why changing communal eating habits helps.

C.The relationship between culture and eating habits.

D.The role collectivism plays in Chinese eating habits.

【3】What does Guangming Daily’s quote tell us?

A.Eating habits have a lot to do with our health.

B.Safety always comes first in every situation.

C.People are warned that foodborne diseases are on the rise.

D.It’s difficult for Chinese people to break bad eating habit

27、These are the top experiences, tours, and activities, according to a new travel report. Add them to your list.

Venetian Lagoon

A half-day boat tour offers guests the chance to visit three of the most famous destinations in the Venetian Lagoon, from the master glassblowers of Murano to the beautiful Byzantine churches of Torcello to the splashy-hued houses along the rivers of Burano.

Tuscany

Beautiful hills, vineyards, unusual towns, and delicious food — it’s hard not to fall in love with Tuscany. Leave from Florence for a full-day guided sightseeing tour of the countryside. Enjoy lunch at a farm and excellent wine. Get an eyeful of ancient architecture in San Gimignano. Learn about the history of horse racing in Siena. 

Rome

Rome has so many important places that it’s near impossible to pack them all into a single stay. The solution? A bus tour fits all the top attractions into a scenic and convenient two-hour ride, complete with on-board narration. Want to save even more valuable vacation time? Upgrade (升级) to VIP entrance tickets. You’ll also want to add these lesser-know secret treasures (宝藏) of Rome to your journey.

There’s no shortage of activities in the Big Apple, but the Empire State Building remains at the top of the list. From the Art Deco-inspired hall to the 86th-floor observatory, which shows off breathtaking 360-degree landscape of the city, this landmark continues to thrill visitors and New Yorkers alike. So it should come as no surprise that express passes are such a hot thing.

28、   Being considered a leader in our society is indeed of high praise. Leadership means power, commands, respect and, most important, encourages achievement. Unlike vitamin C, leadership skills can't be easily swallowed down. They must be carefully cultivated.

Different from popular belief, most good leaders are made, not born. They learn their skills in their everyday lives. But which do they develop? How do they (and how can you) get others to follow?

Always give credit. Many leaders note that the most efficient way to get a good performance from others is to treat then like heroes. Giving public credit to someone who has earned it is the best leadership technique in the world. It is also an act of generosity（慷慨）that’s never forgotten.

Giving credit is more effective than even the most constructive criticism（批评）, which often hurts rather than helps. Kenneth Blanchard, the author of The One-Minute Manager, agrees, “Catch people doing something right!” he says. Then tell everyone about it.

Take in formed risks. “The best leaders know that taking a risk is not a thought less exercise,” says management adviser Marilyn Machlowitz. “Sky divers don’t go up in an airplane without checking the parachutes beforehand.”

Because the idea of risk also carries with it the possibility of failure, many of us usually wait for others to take charge. but if you want to be a leader, you must learn to fail-and not die a thousand deaths. Pick yourself up and start all over again.

Encourage enthusiasm. “When people understand the importance of work, they lend their mental strengths,” says Lee Ducat. But when they get excited about the work, all their energy gets poured into the job. That’s a great force! Is this the best way to create excitement? Be enthusiastic yourself-You will be followed by everyone.

【1】The underlined word “cultivated” (paragraph 1) roughly means ________.

A．compared

B．developed

C．examined

D．encouraged

【2】The part “Always give credit” tells us that a leader should ________.

A．praise everyone

D．praise people for their good performances

A．not be afraid of any risks

B．think twice before taking risks

C．try to avoid any possible failures

D．know what a thoughtless exercise is

A．How to Be a Leader

B．Not Many Can Be Leaders

C．Leadership Is Very Important

D．Leadership Is of Ski1ls and Techniques

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

NASA is on a journey to Mars, with a goal of sending humans to the Red Planet in the 2030s. That journey is already well under way.

For decades, the agency and its partners have sent orbiters, landers and rovers（探测器）, 【1】 increasing our knowledge about the Red Planet and paving the way for future human explorers. The Curiosity rover has gathered radiation data to help us protect future astronauts, and the upcoming Mars 2020 rover will study the 【2】 of Martian resources, including oxygen.

Building on the robotic legacy（遗产）, the human exploration of Mars crosses three thresholds（门槛）, each with 【3】 challenges as humans move farther from Earth: Earth Reliant, the Proving Ground, and Earth Independent.

Earth Reliant explorations is 【4】 on research aboard the International Space Station. The orbiting microgravity laboratory serves as a world - class test bed for the technologies and communications systems needed for human missions to deep space. Astronauts are learning about what it takes to live and work in space for long periods of time, improving our understanding of how the body changes in space and how to protect astronauts' health.

Next, we move into the Proving Ground, 【5】 a series of missions near the moon called “cislunar space” to test the capabilities we will need to live and work at Mars. Astronauts on the space station are only hours away from Earth, but the proving ground is days away, a(n) 【6】 stepping stone to a Mars mission, which will be months away from home.

Also in the 2020s, we’ll send astronauts on a year-long mission into this deep space proving ground, confirming habitation and testing our 【7】 for Mars.

Finally, we become Earth Independent, building on the knowledge 【8】 on the space station and in deep space to send humans to low-Mars orbit in the early 2030s.

This phase will also test the entry, descent（降落）and landing techniques needed to get to the Martin surface and study what's needed for in-situ resource utilization or "living off the land". NASA is already studying the 【9】 "Exploration Zones" on Mars that would offer compelling science research and provide resources our astronauts can use.

There are challenges to 【10】 Mars, but we know they are solvable. We are well on our way to getting there, landing there, and living there.

32、   下面短文，根据文章的情节续写，使之构成―个完整的故事。

Eric was working in a selling business. He had been on the road visiting people for more than a month without going home. He couldn't wait to get back to see his wife and children. It was coming up on Mother's Day, and he usually tried to make it “back home", but this year he was just too busy and too tired. The day when he was driving in a small town, he saw a flower shop. He said to himself, "I know what I will do, I'll send my mother some roses ."

He stopped and went into the flower shop and saw a young man talking to the girl in it “How many roses can I get for fifty dollars. Ms.? " the boy asked. The girl was trying to explain that roses were expensive. Maybe the young man would be happy with something else.

"No. I have to have roses,' he said, "my mom was badly sick last year and I didn't get to spend much time with her. 1 want to get something special. It has to be red roses, because that is her favorite." He was stubborn,

The girl in the shop looked up at Eric and was just shaking her head. Something inside of Eric was touched by the boy's voice. He wanted to get those roses so badly. Eric had been blessed（幸运的）in his business, and he looked at the girl and silently said that he would pay for the boy's roses.

The girl looked at the young man and said, "OK, I will give you a dozen red roses for your dollars.' The young man almost jumped into the air. He took the flowers and ran down the store. It was worth more than fifty dollars just to see that kind of excitement.

Eric ordered his own flowers and asked the girl to have it delivered to his mother. After that, with a relief he drove down the road. Not long after his driving, he saw the boy walking to a graveyard（墓地）.
