21、Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses(球场) in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.
There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.
Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be "green gyms". They are better replacements (代替物) for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it's free.
【1】Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of?
A. Playing basketball in a gym. B. Motor racing in the desert.

A. It is popular in Portugal and Spain.
B. It needs water and electricity to keep its courses green.
C. It pollutes the earth with chemicals and wastes.
D. It causes water shortages around the world.
【3】The author uses power walking as an example mainly because ________.
A. it uses fewer resources B. it improves our health
C. it is an outdoor sport D. it is recommended by experts
【4】The author writes the passage to ________.
A. show us the function of major sports
B. encourage us to go in for green sports

22、Today, we will get you started with the basics to help your houseplants live their best life.
Find your light
【1】 Different light levels are described as low, medium and bright. If you’re wondering what light level you have in your home, here’s a quick test: Hold your hand about a foot above where you want to put your plant. If it casts a shadow with clear lines, you’re working with bright light. If the lines of your hand look a little fuzzy (模糊), that’s medium light. 【2】 Overall, most houseplants are going to do well in medium or bright indirect light.
Pick a pot
When you bring a new plant home, it is much better to let it settle in the original pot. Over time, you might notice roots growing out of that drainage (排水) holes. 【3】. When you are upsizing your pot, a good rule is to increase the diameter (半径) by 2 inches each time. In addition, make sure the new container has a drainage hole in the bottom. Proper drainage is important. Otherwise, their roots will rot.
【4】
Overwatering is one of the most common ways people kill their houseplants. So, how do you know when to give it a drink?
One of the simplest ways is the finger test. Stick your finger a few inches into the soil and feel if it’s still wet different houseplants have different needs, but a general guideline is to water when the top 2 inches of soil are dry.
Never stick to “Every Sunday I water my plants”. 【5】
A．Water your plant properly.
B．Check the roots occasionally.
C．Low light is just enough light for you to read a book.
D．It should be whenever the soil itself needs to be watered.
E．Then it is time to find a bigger pot so its roots can expand.
F．The first thing you need to do is figure out the type of lighting you have.
G．Such measures will invite them to stay longer and help the plants grow better.
23、 The tropical islands of the Philippines have plenty of nice beaches where you can get that gold brown sun tan（口西黑）,but there are only a few white sand or white coral beaches.
Pristine in Palawan
Palawan is the most popular destination for both tourists and locals of all ages and everybody comes for the white sand beaches. The beaches are long and wide and display the unique picture, where you can relax in a hammock（吊床）while having a fruity cocktail with the little umbrellas. What makes it striking is that you will also find plenty of dining opportunities along the beaches so that you won't starve.
Island of Barang in Dumaguete
This island has so many nice beaches where you will literally burn under the sun. You could practically walk around the whole island within a day on the beach alone. Once you travel from places such as Manila or Cebu, the biggest problem for those who would like to visit the Siquijor beaches and the island arises. The only way to Siquijor is via Dumaguete City in Negros Oriental, which fortunately has a domestic airport.
Bohols Treasures in Bohol
Bohol is not only famous for its Chocolate Hills, but it is one of the best places to go in the entire Visayas Region if you are looking for white sand beaches. While the beaches are so understated and Bohol is not crowded with tourists, the island of Bohol deserves its place.
White Sand in Boracay
While Palawan is something for families and people who love the peace of paradise, Boracay is the exact opposite. The appearance is still very similar with white sand beaches, but the lifestyle is all about parties. Boracay is mainly visited by young adults and students rather than families, making it distinguished from any other Philippine beach. Everything can be done in the beaches of Boracay and you can even sleep in the beaches after a night of partying.

24、Occupational Licenses with the Biggest Bang for Buck
Some 1.8 million American were laid off or discharged from their jobs each month on average in 2019, according to data from the U. S. Bureau of Labor statistics. People who lose their jobs often confront a difficult choice: should they take a new job that pays less, or should they make a costly investment in gaining new skills so that they can compete for another similar job or an even better one?
If they do decide on retraining ,which programs and occupational licenses are worth their while? In general, the highest-paying jobs tend to have the most difficult education/ training and experience requirements. But that is not always the case. The following are five occupational licenses with the biggest bang for your buck.
Drone Pilots: If you want to become a drone pilot, all you need to do is be above 16 years old, pass the Federal Aviation Administration's Remote Pilot Certificate exam (which requires about 15 to 20 hours of studying), and pay a $ 150 licensing fee. Pay for drone pilots averages $ 56,426 per year, and jobs are growing rapidly across a range of industries. For example, companies like UPS are making substantial investments in drone delivery and will need to hire thousands of drone pilots in the coming years.
Home Inspectors: If you need a job that makes about $ 60K per year, you might want to consider becoming a Home Inspector. Both Home Inspectors and HVAC Contractors earn about $ 61K per year, on average, but getting a state HVAC Contractor license typically requires about 4,000 hours of training and experience (those systems are becoming even more complex), whereas a Home Inspector license only requires 360 hours of training and experience, and much of the training can be gained free of charge on the job.
Massage Therapists: On average, Manicurists/Pedicurists are required to complete more hours of training than Massage Therapists (700 hours versus 500 hours), but Massage Therapists earn almost twice as much, on average ($54,639 versus $ 32,509).
Radiologic Technologists: Licensing requirements for cosmetologists（美容师）have become so onerous that candidates now need 2,700 hours of training and experience on average. That's not much less than the requirement for becoming a Radiologic or MRI Technologist (3,300 hours), a job which is growing considerably faster than average, is more recession - proof, and pays twice as much ($ 56,162 versus $ 28,608).
Dental Hygienists: Among jobs that require a two-year associate's degree granted by a college or university, some pay substantially more than others. The average state licensing fee for becoming a Dental Hygienist is a hefty $ 1,600, but the pay bump you'll receive will likely make up for it ten times over in the first year.
【1】The underlined expression "the biggest bang for your buck" in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.
A．the job loss for your hesitation to invest
B．a good income resulting from your skills
C．a good return for the money you have spent
D．the great efforts you'd make to change your life.
【2】Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A．Among the drone operators, those who work for delivery services can earn the most.
B．Compared to a home inspector, being an HVAC Contractor is more cost-effective.
C．As an MRI technologist, you'd be less likely to be jobless during an economic crisis.
D．Higher education isn't a compulsory requirement if you want to be a dental hygienist.
【3】Which of the following matching for the chart is correct according to the passage?
A．① Radiologic Technologist; ② Cosmetologist; ③General Contractor
B．① Drone Pilot; ② General Contractor; ③ Dental Hygienists
C．① Message Therapist; ② Radiologic Technologist; ③ Cosmetologist
D．① Drone Piolt; ② Cosmetologist; ③ Radiologic Technologist

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。续写的词数应为150左右。
It was a warm weekday evening in May last year when my friend Alice and I were on a long walk around the university campus. We had met on a university trip in 2019, when I was in my final year and Alice was a master’s student. We loved each other at once because we both love books and talking loud about how odd the world is.
I had brought a book of mini plays that we were performing to each other as we walked, just for fun. At one point, as part of the merrymaking, Alice set off a quick run and I took it as an invitation to race. We were on a long pavement when I stuck my foot out to trip her—I just wanted her to have a tumble (跌倒) so we could laugh about it. She fell instantly and I kept on running; it was all part of the joke. But then I heard her screaming. I turned around and she was on the ground, holding her right leg. I thought for a second she must be kidding, for there was no way she could have hurt herself that badly. But her face was out of shape in pain and she was making this crying sound.
A man who was walking by had seen what had happened. He called an ambulance as soon as he saw Alice. Within 10 minutes it arrived. The medical staff had to pick her up and carried her into the ambulance.
I went back to Alice’s house to tell her sister, who she lives with, what had happened. We drove to the hospital, even though we knew they couldn’t let us in because of COVID-19. Tests revealed that Alice’s leg had shattered (粉碎) in eight places. She would remain in hospital for weeks and would probably be restricted to her bed at home with a full-length cast for months after that. Because of COVID-19, we still couldn’t visit her. Alice treated the situation with levity (轻率), telling me not to worry because accidents happen.
Paragraph 1:
She spent three weeks in hospital.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
So I wrote her a story, a kind of long-form apology, with Alice as the main character.
