26、 During the COVID-19(新冠病毒)crisis, working from home has become common for many people. For some, working from home is distracting and exhausting. But one pioneering study found that working from home increased output by 13%. Nicholas Bloom, a professor at Stanford University in California, began the experiment when James Liang, one of the founders of Trip.com Group-the largest online travel agency in China-met Bloom in Stanford and mentioned to him how expensive Shanghai housing was, how the costs of maintaining company headquarters were huge there, and that he was thinking of letting his staff work from home. This idea made Bloom interested.
Bloom started to test Liang’s thought. First, 1000 employees who volunteered for the study were divided into two teams, separated by birth dates. Those born on even days got to work from home 4 out of 5 weekdays for the next 9 months Those born on odd days stayed in the office all week long. Then the two teams were tracked. It was easy to do, as these workers had repetitive, straightforward tasks that could easily be quantified(量化), and their productivity could easily be measured-making bookings in the system or making phone calls, for example. Nine months passed; Bloom and Liang discovered workers were 13% more productive at home.
Bloom’s data suggests the staff could become much more productive while working from home long term-but it’s not so straightforward. In the experiment, there were warmings as to who could take part in the first place. Participants had to meet 3 requirements: have no kids, have a room that wasn’t their bedroom and have quality Internet on equipment which the firm installed for them at home. So there’s no guarantee that everyone’s productivity will increase.
Lynda Grattan, a professor at London Business School, distrusts other points: Bloom’s experiment was easy to carry out because it was essentially happening at a call centre. “We have no proper data on the productivity of knowledge workers when they’re based at home,” she says.
【1】Why did Liang want to let the staff work from home?
A.To decrease the staff salaries. B.To avoid the spread of COVID-19.
C.To save the costs of working in the office. D.To prove the advantage of remote work.
【2】How did Bloom conduct the experiment?
A.By giving questionnaires to all the staff.
B.By following the productivity of two teams.
C.By interviewing volunteers about their feelings.
D.By analyzing features of various working environment.
【3】What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A.The experiment has attracted many volunteers.
B.The staff working at home always finish more tasks
C.The speed of the Internet decides the productivity of workers.
D.Workers’ high productivity is based on suitable working conditions.
【4】What does Grattan think of the experiment?
A.It doesn’t apply to easy tasks.
B.It ignores the role of parents at home.
C.It inspires knowledge workers to work at home.
D.It needs further study for knowledge workers.
27、How often do you let other people like a bad driver, a rude waiter, or an angry boss, change your mood (情绪)?
Sixteen years ago I learned a lesson. I got in a taxi, and we took off for Grand Central Station. We were driving in the right lane (车道) when all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver used his brakes (车闸), the tires made a loud noise, and at the very last moment our car stopped just 3cm from the back of the other car.
I couldn’t believe it. But then I couldn’t believe what happened next. The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, turned his head around and he started shouting at us. I couldn’t believe it!
My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. So, I said, “Why did you just do that? This guy could have killed us!” And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call, “The Law of the Garbage Truck”. He said, “Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of anger and disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they look for a place to dump (倾倒) it. And if you let them, they’ll dump it on you.
So I started thinking how often I let Garbage Trucks run right over me and how often I take their garbage and spread it to other people.
I began to see Garbage Trucks. I see the load people are carrying. I see them coming to dump it. And like my taxi driver, I don’t take it personally. I just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.

28、Girls can easily get sad. If your friend is feeling blue and calls you, what will you do? Here are some tips on how you can make her smile again.
Listen to her. When people feel sad, they often have the feeling of needing to be heard. So, listen carefully to what she is saying and do nothing else. Your friend will surely thank you for being the shoulder she can cry on.
Once you are done with listening, you can offer some advice or remain silent and let her feel everything and let it all out by crying. As a friend, you might think you should give her some advice. But if you have no idea about what to say, just remain silent and be there for her.
In order to be able to help your friend in need, don't be sad yourself. How can you help your friend when you are also feeling down.
A hug can make a difference in the world. It makes you feel warm and special. A hug makes you feel safe. So give your friend a hug when she needs it the most.
Spend more time with your friend who wants to be happy. Do things together like washing dishes, cleaning, or going out for fun. The more time you spend together, the stronger your friendship will become.
Sometimes, it is much better that you avoid a crying friend in your life. But by doing so, you are also keeping your friend at a distance and will make her wonder if you are her true friend. If you are there when she needs you, your friendship will be much stronger.

29、In Melbourne lies an 87-square-meter, three-story, two-bedroom and one-bathroom house. That may sound like a real property advertisement, but it could be the home of the future.
Made from organic materials and run on sustainable (可持续的) energy, the building, known as “The Greenhouse”, is completely zero waste. It was designed by zero waste advocate Bakker, as part of his Future Food System housing experiment. “The greenhouse is inspired by nature — it’s an ecosystem where nothing is wasted,” Bakker says.
Organic waste is fed into a biodigester where it ferments (发酵) and turns into gas for cooking or fertilizer for produce; rainwater is harvested and used for irrigation and a specific system, where plants grow using waste from fish; and hot steam from the shower enables a wall of mushrooms to boost. The house is designed, says Bakker, with the roof as the foundation, loaded with 35 tons of soil, which provides fertile (肥沃的) ground for produce — more than 200 plant species grow on the roof, as well as insects, snails, fish and chickens.
The site is more than just a model home; it’s been a real one for Jo Barrett and Matt Stone, who were chefs at the small in-house restaurant. “To be able to grow and produce food on a tiny footprint in the city and turn it into exciting dishes is completely unique,” says Stone.
Through the project, Bakker wanted to demonstrate he could feed a family with his design. “I think we’ve proved that it’s actually more productive than I imagined,” he says. “We’ve harvested 35 kilos of potatoes from a square meter.”
He hopes the example will offer a blueprint to future homes and an alternative to current food system, which is to blame for over a third of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions (排放). Creating a circular system could also greatly reduce food waste.
“We’re the only species that generates waste. In nature, there is no waste; everything becomes a food source for something else,” says Bakker. “If we transform to a circular system, we have so much potential to stop the destruction of wilderness and forest.”
【1】What does paragraph 3 focus on?
A.The future of the greenhouse building.
B.The way the greenhouse building works.

B.It is a perfect habitat for all insects.
C.It is possessed by the designer Bakker.
D.Plant growing is free of soil in the house.
【3】Why are the chefs mentioned in paragraph 4?
A.To introduce the concept of the house.
B.To inform people of the latest restaurant.
C.To demonstrate the future modern home.
D.To illustrate the advantage of the house.
【4】What can be inferred according to Bakker?
A.People have to explore nature more.
B.Human relies heavily on the environment.
C.The greenhouse is a way to reduce waste.
D.The greenhouse helps reduce reliance on nature.

31、根据课文内容填空。
One 【1】 of classic literature is that it often reflects an author’s own experiences and can therefore help us understand 【2】 of his or her time. This is one reason why the best works of literature still 【3】 readers long after they were written. Cao Xueqin’s A Dream of Red Mansions, one of the most 【4】 in Chinese literature, is a good example of this. Its storyline follows the fall of a large wealthy family much like the author’s own. No doubt 【5】 his own experiences, Cao Xueqin gives 【6】 of what life was like at that time. The novel contains 【7】 of details such as what the upper class wore and ate. It also describes the social relations in 18th-century China. As a result, readers 【8】 better understanding the gap between rich and poor, men and women, the learned and the uneducated in the historical context. Cultural and historical elements like these make A Dream of Red Mansions 【9】. In summary, we can learn much about 【10】 in history from classic literature.
32、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。
I have been a teacher for more than thirty years and Mr. Rowe is one of the best teachers I have ever worked with. He had so much from watching him.
He could perform miracles, like the one he performed with Steven in the fourth grade. Steven was one of the unhappiest kids I ever saw. He couldn’t stand school. He didn’t like being picked last for kickball. He didn’t like the kids who raised their hands and knew all the answers, and most importantly, he didn’t like himself.
The first day Steven walked into Mr. Rowe’s classroom, he ignored the other students, looking angry and annoyed, and slid into his chair, knocking a couple of textbooks onto the floor.
Mr. Rowe walked over to him and touched Steven’s shoulder, but Steven pulled away. Nevertheless, Mr. Rowe welcomed him: “Hi, Steven. I’m happy you are in my class. We are gonna have a great year.” Steven looked around the room as if Mr. Rowe must be mistakes. No teacher in his right mind would want Steven to be part of his classroom.
So, while Mr. Rowe seemed cheerful and relaxed that day of school, it seemed like Steven was angry and confused.
That day after classes, Mr. Rowe chose Steven to pitch (投球) the kickball. “Hey, Steven,” Mr. Rowe said, “You are good at pitching. Let me show you my secret trick.” Mr. Rowe taught Steven one of the tricks that not a single kid could did. Steven learned fast and did quite well! Everyone cheered for him!
After the kickball, Steven sat as closer to Mr. Rowe in classes as he could. When a question was asked, Steven lit up; he knew the answer! He raised his hands. When he answered the question, his voice shook. However, he got the answer right! He said, with Mr. Rowe, his days of the fourth grade promised wonderful.
