Last summer, Katie Steller pulled off the freeway on her way to work in Minneapolis. She stopped at a traffic light, where a man was sitting with a sign asking for help. She rolled down her window and asked if he wanted a free _______ right now. The man accepted the offer. Then Steller loaded a red chair from her car. The man took a seat and shared his life story while Steller was trimming(修剪) his curly graying hair. Until now, Steller has given 30 or so such haircuts to people around the city. These clients are all living a poor life, and she is keenly aware of the _______ of her cleanup job. For her, it’s more than a haircut. She wants it to be a gateway not only to show value and respect but also to get to know people. She wants to build relationships. Steller knows that a haircut can _______ a life. And it did happen to her. As a teen, she suffered from a bowel(肠道) disease which was so serious that her hair thinned quickly. She was very upset and afraid to go out. Seeing this, her mother arranged for Steller’s first professional haircut. Sitting down and having somebody look at her and talk to her like a person and not just an illness made her feel cared about and less _______. After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own salon so she could help people feel the way she’d felt that day. Not long after finishing cosmetology(美容) school, she _______ to begin what she now calls her Red Chair Project, reaching out to people in need on the streets. Although she can’t fix their problems, Steller believes she can help them feel less alone for a moment. Steller listens to people’s stories of loss, addiction, and struggle to get back on their feet. The _______ obviously works. When she was cutting a woman’s hair one day, someone drove by and shouted, “You look amazing!” Hearing this, the woman in the chair cried _______, “I’m not invisible! I thought I was invisible. Look, people see me!” Steller’s simple act of kindness is starting to spread. Just as she says, the way we show up in the world _______, and we have no idea what people are going to do with the kindness that we give them. 【1】A.ride B.talk C.dinner D.haircut 【2】A.power B.pleasure C.challenge D.difference 【3】A.lead B.change C.end D.control 【4】A.alone B.annoyed C.confused D.surprised 【5】A.expected B.agreed C.managed D.promised 【6】A.trust B.courage C.praise D.attention 【7】A.bravely B.excitedly C.angrily D.hopelessly 【8】A.disappears B.remains C.matters D.improves

Fighting coronavirus is an experience that will forever be remembered. Now that I've recovered, I'm sharing my story because I want people to take this situation seriously. To turn things around, we have to stay home. We have to fight this battle together — and we have to win. I think it started on the night my boyfriend and I went to celebrate his sister-in-law's birthday. We didn't think anything of it at the time, of course. The news was just beginning to report the spread of COVID-19 in America. I was still living my life just as I always had — riding the train to work each day, working long hours, and going out with friends and family. My boyfriend, Luis, began showing symptoms on Monday, but we thought it was a typical cold. Then it took me down. It began with a low fever. I felt really weak. At this point, coronavirus had begun to take over New York. On Tuesday, the headache started. It was so intense that I had to lie down. By the end of the week, everything hurt. Luis and I went to nearby urgent care. After being examined, I chose to be tested, but I didn't receive my results until a week later. The doctor sent me home with advice to take Tylenol (泰诺, 感冒药) but said there was nothing more he could do for me. On the way home, we bought whatever medicine we could find, for the store had run out of Tylenol. That Saturday evening was the worst. I had a high fever and I couldn't sleep. I was sweating a lot, and my knees, hips, and back were in terrible pain. I lost my sense of taste and smell. Then I developed stomach pain. As I lay there, I was terrified that there wouldn't be enough doctors, nurses, or beds to help me. The thought of being alone, and possibly dying alone, in the hospital, weighed heavily on my thoughts, and I feared the uncertainty. My fever finally broke the following Wednesday. It was such a relief. Two days later, the health department called me with the news that I'd tested positive for COVID-19. Looking back, I really wish that people had taken this virus more seriously earlier. I wish people understood how severe this is. I'm wearing a mask in public from now on. I'm not taking chances. This was really painful, and we got lucky. 【1】What did the author do to fight coronavirus? A.She stayed at home and got rest. B.She fought alone in the hospital. C.She lived her life just as she always had. D.She took Tylenol as the doctor suggested. 【2】How did the author feel about her recovery? A.Surprised. B.Lucky. C.Hopeful. D.Proud. 【3】Why does the author tell us her story? A.To record her unforgettable experience. B.To teach people how to fight coronavirus. C.To celebrate her victory over coronavirus. D.To call on people to take the virus seriously.

As the global pandemic (大流行病) speeds up, many are wondering about the effectiveness of masks and when it's necessary to wear them. Most people from the East believe that wearing a mask is essential to control the spread of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP). But people in the West generally would argue that, unless one is already ill, wearing a mask is simply unnecessary. In Eastern countries like China, mask-wearing is ingrained in their cultures. In fact, people in the East wear masks not just to protect themselves from illness but also for a variety of other reasons. In many Asian countries, masks are worn in many scenarios (情景) in daily life, such as doing housework or visiting patients in the hospital. They can give people the comfort of being protected. In recent years, they are worn simply for cosmetic reasons. Young people in Japan, for example, wear masks as a fashion statement, expressing their personal style through unique designs and patterns. In Asia, wearing a face mask, deeply rooted in the culture, is also an outward expression of group-oriented values. With one's face partially covered, one becomes part of a giant collectivist (集体主义的) whole. "People communicated their responsibilities to the social group of which they were members," wrote Peter Baehr, a research professor in social theory at Lingnan University, Hong Kong. "By disguising an individual's face, it gave greater salience (突显) to collective identity. Just like we need to wear uniforms when we are at work or at school." In Western countries, however, individual values are the most important. As a citizen, it is one's duty to prevent the spread of illness by following proper hygienic procedures, such as washing one's hands and limiting one's contact with others. However, a face mask is taken as something only for those showing symptoms (症状) of illness. Whether from the East or the West, social culture and peer pressure have played an important role in one's decision about whether or not to wear a mask. That's because human beings are social creatures who take into consideration what other members of society think of us. The most important thing is to respect others' opinions, no matter how different they are. 【1】The underlined word "ingrained" in Paragraph 2 probably means "__________". A.deeply fixed B.widely respected C.greatly developed D.gradually accepted 【2】The third and fourth paragraph are written to show__________. A.how people in Asia use masks B.why people in Asia wear masks C.what Asian culture and value are D.when Asian culture and value work 【3】The writer probably agrees that__________. A.wearing a mask is a good way to show one's personality B.it is not necessary for those who are healthy to wear a mask C.whether we choose to wear a mask is a reflection of our culture D.westerners take wearing a mask as a useful way to protect themselves

flower verges Plantlife, a plant protection organization, is predicting a boost for wild flowers because some councils (地方议会) have stopped mowing (割) wild flower verges or parks in Britain during the COVID- 19 crisis. Over the years, Plantlife has been urging councils to cut grass less often. It also wants them to put off cutting until flowers have had chance to seed. The charity says it has seen a change in attitudes in recent years. Now Plantlife's research suggests that mowing has been among the first activities to be cut under the COVID-19 crisis. That's partly because staff are sick or self-isolating (自我隔离), and there is a need to save money as budgets are squeezed (财政预算紧张). Mr. Dines from Plantlife said that an increase in public support for wild flower verges had already persuaded some councils to limit cutting, which was a fairly welcome change. In Stockton-on-Tees Borough, grass cutting will be limited to the least levels with the exception of areas where it is needed to ensure public safety. For example, to maintain lines of sight at road junctions (路口). In Newcastle, grass cutting will stop for the time being. In Wigan, the maintenance of non-essential grass cutting will also be stopped for the foreseeable future. Its council has acted quickly to rearrange staff to frontline services, such as trash bin collections. Meanwhile, the reduction of traffic during the COVID-19 crisis will produce another benefit for wild flowers. Typically, roadside verges are filled with nitrogen emissions (含氮排放气体). This fertilizes (使肥沃) the tougher species which can use the nitrogen to grow and out-compete more delicate wild flowers. Mr. Dines said: "There has been a great change in the quality of air-we can see so much more clearly into the distance. The lack of pollutants is going to help wildflowers on verges." 【1】Planlife may probably agrees that__________. A.councils should mow verges or parks more often B.councils should put off cutting until flowers seed C.councils should call on the public to support mowing D.councils should cut its budget to save money in the crisis 【2】The purpose of the fourth paragraph is to__________. A.give examples of where the grass cutting will not be allowed B.present how councils have acted to deal with COVID-19 crisis C.explain the reasons why some councils stop grass cutting for now D.show the changes in grassing cutting in Britain due to COVID-19 crisis 【3】What can we learn from the passage? A.Grass cutting will be completely stopped in Stockton-on-Tees Borough. B.Mowing has been cut under COVID-19 crisis partly due to a lack of staff. C.Staff in Wigan were rearranged from trash bin collections to grass cutting. D.Wild flowers can use the nitrogen to grow and out-compete tougher species. 【4】Which of the following might be the best title for the passage? A.Covid-19 crisis could help wildflower grow. B.The reduction of traffic could help wildflowers. C.Cutting grass less often could help wildflowers. D.A change in public attitude could help wildflowers.

Aleida Chavez, 69, is one of the thousands of Cubans who practice ancient Chinese martial arts to help them stay in shape and even maintain mental health, especially in times of hardship. With partial lockdown of Cuba's capital Havana during the COVID-19 pandemic, Chavez practices her routines more often than ever. But instead of attending the Cuban School of Wushu and Qigong in the city's Chinatown, where she has gone for more than seven years, she practices at home. "Chinese martial arts make me feel not only healthy but relaxed. I forget about the coronavirus and day-to-day problems for a while," Chavez said. "I am a senior citizen, but feel energetic. And I also encourage my relatives and close friends to join this exciting world." Chavez, who lives with her husband and daughter in a small apartment, has adapted (适应) her routines to the smaller quarters, since the government asked people to stay home and avoid public gatherings in order to stop the outbreak in a short time period. According to Roberto Vargas Lee, the president of the school, with gyms and sports centers closed during the lockdown, more Cubans began to practice the Chinese martial arts. He thinks "Chinese martial arts are never forgotten. They allow people to remain in harmony with nature and take care of their bodies while strengthening their minds. "The world needs the spirit of Chinese martial arts to find balance," he added. According to history, Chinese martial arts were introduced to Cuba following the arrival of the first Chinese emigrants (移民) in 1847, and were accepted and practiced by most of the Cubans in the early 20th century. Now, because of the outbreak of the virus, people can't take Wushu lessons and practice face to face, but they can take lessons by watching Chinese martial arts programs which will be aired on Cuban TV. Isis Betancourt, 45, a doctor and news anchor (主持人) on Cuban TV that specializes in health issues, said audiences would welcome the program. "Chinese martial arts are more than sports. They are, above all, related to a philosophy of life that has been passed down throughout history," Betancourt said. As Cubans continue to stay at homes, these broadcasts of Chinese martial arts aim to help residents stay physically and mentally fit. 【1】Does Chavez practice Chinese martial arts at home or in the Cuban School of Wushu? __________________________ 【2】What did more Cubans begin to do during the lockdown? __________________________ 【3】When did Chinese martial arts become popular in Cuba? __________________________ 【4】How will the Cubans take Chinese martial arts lessons? __________________________ 【5】What's the main idea of the passage? __________________________
