27、On average, Americans spend about 10 hours a day in front of a computer or other electronic devices and less than 30 minutes a day outdoors. That is a claim by David Strayer, a professor of psychology at the University of Utah. In his 2017 TED Talk, Strayer explained that all this time spent with technology is making our brains tired.

Using an electronic device to answer emails, listen to the news and browse the web puts a lot of pressure on the front of the brain, which, Strayer explains, is important for critical thinking, problem-solving and decision-making.

Therefore, it is important to give the brain a rest. And being in nature, Strayer claims, helps a tired brain away from too much technology. More than 15, 000 campers from around the world attended an international camping festival in September. That is when friends and family take time off and escape to nature for several days. They take walks, climb, explore, swim, sleep, eat and play. Camping may be just what a tired brain needs.

Take Carl for example. He lives in West Virginia and enjoys camping. He says that staying outdoors makes him feel at ease. It also prepares him for the work he must do. Kate Somers is another example who also lives in West Virginia. She says she enjoys camping with her husband and two children. She calls it a “regenerative” experience.

At the University of Utah, David Strayer has studied both short-term and long-term exposure to nature. He found that spending short amounts of time in nature without technology does calm the brain and helps it to remember better. However, he found, it is the long-term contact with nature that does the most good. He and his research team found that spending three days in nature without any technology is enough time for the brain to fully relax and reset itself.

【1】According to David Strayer, which of the following is true?

A．Americans dislike outdoor activities.

B．Electronic equipment should be quitted.

C．New technologies also have some downsides.

D．Electronic equipment brings great convenience.

【2】Why does Strayer insist we go outdoors?

A．To try another lifestyle.

B．To let our brain relax.

C．To make better decisions.

D．To play with our family and friends.

【3】What does the underlined word “regenerative” mean?

A．Refreshing

B．Memorable

C．Remarkable

D．Tiring

【4】Which is the proper title for the passage?

A．Electronic Equipment Harms the Brain

B．Good Rest Develops Good Memory

C．Tips on Using New Technologies

D．Being in Nature Is Good for the Brain

28、

“Aw, isn't it cute?”

That, right there, is the officially accepted response to any animal contact（接触） the world over. Animals are cute. They're there to be photographed, loved, and occasionally fed. But you know what? Not all animals are cute, or lovely, or even nice. Some of them are a real pain in the neck.

When you travel, you come into contact with all sorts of animals you’ve never heard of before. Some of them are amazing creatures that you'll talk about for the rest of your life. Some of them are just annoying. So, at the risk of causing anger among animal lovers around the world, here are some of the world's most annoying animals.

Vervet monkeys, South Africa

You'll immediately notice two things about Vervet monkeys: they have a bright blue bottom; and they'll steal any food that's not locked in a bank safe. I recently spent some time in South Africa, and watched as monkey after monkey dived in from the trees and stole everyone's food. Get your own food, Vervets! My sandwich was expensive!!

Kea parrots, New Zealand

I have never seen one of these birds before but from what I've been told they are more annoying than a spoilt kid. From biting the paint off your car doors to stealing people's passports, Keas are probably the most curious, and therefore annoying, animals in the world. And they're New Zealanders. That makes sense!

Kangaroos, Australia

Another well-known food-stealer, kangaroos are loved by tourists, eaten by Australians, and generally enjoy making trouble for others. Go on a camping trip anywhere in Australia, and watch how long your bags of food last. Turn your back for 15 minutes and the camp will look like thieves have turned the place upside down.

Grizzly bears, USA

They look pretty cute, grizzly bears. You almost want to go up and give them a hug. Unfortunately, it wouldn't end well. In fact, one of the world's most huggable creatures is also the one most likely to kill you just because it can. Oh, and it'll steal your picnic basket, too.

【1】The author uses the underlined expression “pain in the neck” to suggest .

A. these animals may bite you on the neck

B. these animals can cause people a lot of trouble

C. people should be fearful of these animals

D. these animals may cause some serious illness

【2】Which of the animals is the most dangerous according to the writer?

A. Vervet monkeys. B. Grizzly Bears.

C. Kangaroos.    D. Kea Parrots.

【3】Which of the following is not correct according to the passage?

A. When people see the cute animals they might take photographs of them.

B. Sometimes people will feed the cute animals.

C. Australians eat kangaroos.

D. Spoilt kids are not annoying at all.

29、Local bamboo plantations in Europe have ensured that giant pandas in Belgium and the United Kingdom have been fed with enough fresh bamboo during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to zookeepers.

Every week, there are about 1,000 kilograms of fresh bamboos delivered from a French bamboo plantation called La Bambouseraie to the Belgian zoo of Pairi Daiza where two giant pandas plus their three babies live.

Mathieu Goedefroy, spokesman of the zoo, said “It is very important for us to be assured that we always and at every time are able to provide fresh bamboo of the highest quality for our dear pandas. That's why we decide to buy this growing house.”

Since 1856, when a botanist Eugene Mazel began his first plantings by making species from all the world used to the plantation, La Bamhouseraie has developed into a park growing more than 240 varieties of bamboo now.

Of the 1,000 kilograms of bamboo delivered to the zoo each week, only a small part is eaten by the pandas. The other animals can consume the rest of it so that none is wasted.

The story is similar in the U. K. 's Edinburgh Zoo, where the fresh bamboo has been shipped from the Netherlands. Jo Elliot, the animal collection manager at the zoo, said, “We have made sure that our stores have enough supplies. The pandas need their bamboo. Most of it gets shipped in from the Netherlands, and at the moment that is fine. We are still getting deliveries. ”

In early May, Canada's Calgary Zoo said it would have to send back two giant pandas to China, since fewer flights, as a result of COVID-19, were causing a lack of bamboo for the pandas. An adult giant panda eats about 35 kilograms of bamboo shoots, or kilograms of fresh bamboo and bamboo leaves daily. There was no locally grown bamboo in Calgary, so supplies of bamboo had relied on the shipments from China.

“We have also contacted our workmates from Calgary, Canada,” Goedefroy said. “We'll see if we could be of any help for them with our bamboo supplies. ”

【1】Where does Pairi Daiza get bamboo for their pandas?

A．From a zoo in China.

B．From a French plantation.

C．From a zoo in Belgium.

D．From a plantation in the Netherlands.

【2】What is the similarity between the Edinburgh Zoo and Pairi Daiza?

A．They make full use of the bamboo.

B．They have to return pandas to China.

C．They have enough bamboo supplies.

D．They got bamboo from the same place.

【3】What can be inferred about Calgary Zoo from the last two paragraphs?

A．It could grow some bamboo soon.

B．Pairi Daiza may send bamboo to it.

C．It will give less bamboo to pandas.

D．There will be no more pandas living in it.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．COVID-19 Harmed Pandas' Health.

B．COVID-19 Brought Chances to Zoos.

C．European Plantations Grew Bamboo Well.

D．European Zoos Kept Enough Supply of Bamboo.

32、阅读下面短文, 根据其内容写一篇 60词左右的内容概要。

Many young people believe shared bicycles have many advantages. They are not expensive to rent, they do not have to be protected from thieves, and there is no need to repair them. You just have to change them for another one. They are also environment friendly and lower the use of cars, which also helps to relieve traffic. In fact, it is considered an awesome（可怕的） combination of technology and tradition.

Since they appeared, shared bicycles have raised a lot of dust. There is no doubt about the benefits but the disadvantages cannot be ignored. Many problems related to shared bicycles have appeared. It is not only due to bad behavior from some users who always want to seize the bicycles, but also because of the mess that has been created since one can leave the bicycle anywhere, which is against public urban order management. There are so many poorly parked bikes that sometimes they end up blocking streets.

In Xi Luo yuan, Beijing, the “Civilized Use of Bicycles” campaign （运动）has been launched. In addition to having 40 officially permitted stops, there are also clear signals（信号） to lead users to these stops. A team of supervisors keep order in the area. This is the first area that is part of an official system to manage bicycles. The purpose of this campaign is to solve the mess that the popularity of shared bicycles is causing in Beijing, both with the participation of companies and the users. If the pilot plan works out well in Xi Luo yuan, it will be extended to all of the cities in China.
