Highlights of the Current Affairs

Loneliness economy

China's younger generations are driving up the value of the country's industry. In recent years, businesses built around loneliness have appeared and boomed in China, presenting single people with the services they need. As furry animals occupy the personal lives of more and more people, the industrial chain established around pets is starting a market that might soon be worth hundreds of billions of yuan.

Following the catering industry, shopping and housekeeping services which turned to the Internet for modem solutions, the pet industry is also offering creative services, such as a call-out vet(兽医) service.

Alipay adds beauty filters(美颜) to face-scan

The Chinese mobile payment application, Alipay launched a new update that included "beauty filters" into its face-scan payment system. The "beauty filters", which beautify users when they make payments via the application, have been well received by the market.

A survey run by news portal Sina Technology showed that more than 60% of respondents think they look uglier through the face-scan payments method than on a regular camera. The number of women users, in particular, increased by 123 percent after this technique appeared.

Future pocket money

Research has found that 84% of British parents currently give notes and coins to their children. But banks predict that by 2028 only one in ten businesses will be with cash. Children may not understand the value of cash because they never see it. Parents face a dilemma-finding a new way to offer pocket money, or maybe not bothering to pay it at all.

But whatever method a parent chooses to adopt, they need to teach their kids that money doesn't grow on trees!

21. What's the purpose of the passage?

A. To predict the disappearance of cash.     B. To attract attention to Alipay.

C. To introduce the latest news.            D. To promote the economic development.

22. With the economy booming, which of the following can be available?

A. Youngsters can ask for a call-out service for pets.

B. Beauty filters can make women more beautiful.

C. Single people can get furry animals treated for free.

D. Alipay can be turned to for getting rid of loneliness.

23. How can parents help their kids learn about money?

A. Encourage children to visit banks.

B. Guide children to use Alipay face-scan payment.

C. Give notes to their children as pocket money.

D. Teach children healthy attitudes to money.

B

Do you like running enough to make it a habit? Temey Wolfgram does; she has made running a lifelong career and isn't stopping.

In February, the 16-year-old from Woodbury High School, Minnesota, US, competed at the 2020 US Olympic Trials. She finished the marathon (42, J95 km) with a tune of 2:42:47 as the youngest competitor in the race and ranked 76th out of 390 runners.

Then, in November, Wolfgram, who turned 17, broke the Women's American Junior marathon record with her time of 2:31:49. The old record was 2:34:32, which had stood since 1984. During the run, Wolfgram once hit a wall pretty hard, but she overcame it to finish. "I guess I can say I gave it my all," she told Runner's World. "When I finished, all I was thinking was that I was super happy," Wolfgram said.

This was only her third marathon. In 2018, when Wolfgram was 15 years old, she ran her first marathon just because she wanted to see if she was capable of doing it. "I believed that I would get faster as the distances got longer and I'm still glad that I did it."

When preparing for that first marathon, she ran up to 120 miles (about 190 kilometers) per week. Although her parents didn't have any background in running, they helped Wolfgram train. At first, her dad would take her out in the morning and run about 13 miles. The distance would gradually increase each day. On top of her runs in the morning, she would do cross-country practice after school.

Next, Wolfgram will think about attending the Olympic Games in 2024 after it's scheduled.

24. In which race has Wolfgram broken a record?

A. The 2020 Women's American Junior marathon.     B. The 2020 US Olympic Trials.

C. Her first marathon in 2018.                     D. The 2024 Olympic Games.

25. What does the underlined phrase "hit a wall" in paragraph 3 probably mean?

A. To knock one's head against a wall.     B. To be very tired.

C. To go smoothly.                    D. To be disappointed.

26. What inspired Wolfgram to run her first marathon?

A. Her coach's support.                 B. Her parents’ encouragement.

C. Her desire to prove she could do it.     D. Her hope to break the national record.

27. Which word best describes Wolfgram?

A. Outgoing.     B. Honest.      C. Determined.     D. Smart.

C

Spanish artist Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) was one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. It was said that everything his brush touched turned to gold. But in truth, his works could be worth more than any precious metal. Picasso created more than 20,000 works in his life, including two of the world's 10 most expensive paintings.

Between 1907 and 1913, Picasso and his colleague Georges Braque started a revolution(革命) in painting. Before that, paintings were like windows-they were painted to look as if they had depth. You could tell which objects were "close" to you and which objects were "far away". But Picasso and Braque didn't want to paint like that any more. To them, a painting wasn't a window to the world; it was marks and lines on a flat surface. Why, they thought, should an object like a guitar be shown only from one angle (角度)? A guitar can look very different depending on which angle one looks at it from. Their answer was to show all the angles. They broke the guitar up into pieces. Their style of painting is called cubism (立体主义).

But why did they feel such a need to change things? Well, the world around them was changing, too. Science was turning people's ideas upside down. Albert Einstein's theory proved that what we knew about time and space was wrong. The world was becoming different; artists needed to start seeing and painting it differently.

The famous and terrifying painting Guernica (1937) shows a terrible scene during the Spanish Civil War. In the painting, you can actually see the sky falling. Picasso couldn't have painted it without the skills he learned during his cubist period. Breaking a guitar up into pieces was his preparation for showing the world being blown to pieces.

28. What is mainly discussed about Picasso in this article？

A. His achievements in art.           B. His difficulties in career.

C. The popularity of his paintings.     D. The high price of his paintings.

29. In what way did Picasso and Braque paint？

A. They painted objects with different depth.

B. They painted an object from different angles.

C. They made their paintings look like windows.

D. They broke objects up into pieces and painted them.

30. What caused Picasso and Braque to start cubism？

A. Einstein's theory.        B. A broken guitar.

C. The changing world.     D. Spanish Civil War.

31. Why did the author mention the painting Guernica？

A. To show the theme of Picasso's paintings.         B. To present the artistic effect of cubism.

C. To describe the preparations Picasso made before.   D. To express Picasso's anger at the war.

D

Experts note that an unhealthy lifestyle can put you at great risk of heart disease and stroke. So doctors urge us to eat healthy foods, get exercise, stop smoking and limit our alcohol intake. But there is something else you can do. And it is free and easy. Smile!

Dr. Chockalingam, a heart disease specialist in Columbia, advises his patients to smile. He says a smile may be one way to help your heart. "When we smile, the brain wiring changes. The chemicals that are released are more positive." He says smiling is the first step in fighting physical and emotional stress and its sometimes harmful effects on human health. This is not just New Age advice. Several studies support his opinion.

When you feel stressed or under pressure, your body releases many natural hormones (荷尔蒙) including adrenaline and cortisol. Adrenaline increases your heart rate and blood pressure. Cortisol is the body’s main stress hormone. It increases sugar in the bloodstream. If you are truly in danger, these hormones can help you. They are part of what we call our fight-or-flight response.

However, when we are stressed for a long period, these stress hormones are ever-present in our bodies. And that, medical researchers warn, may lead to health problems.

Researchers say the connection between stress and heart disease is still unclear. However, they claim that when people are stressed for long periods of time, they may have an unhealthy lifestyle, which can lead to health problems.

Dr. Chockalingam says a smile may be one way to help. He tells his patients to smile 20 times an hour. To some, that might seem like a lot of smiling. Or some might even feel foolish smiling for seemingly no reason. But a smile does not involve drugs. It is not invasive like a surgical operation. It is free and it has no bad side effects.

"Once people smile, they are relaxing. This relaxation directly lowers blood pressure, improves sugar levels in the blood. If we are smiling, we are breaking that link between stress and health." And it just may provide a little extra protection to everyone’s heart health.

32. Which of the following agrees with Dr. Chockalingam’s opinion?

A. Smile has the same effects as laughter.

B. Smile can make our body produce beneficial chemicals.

C. Smile is better than any healthy lifestyle to health.

D. Smile can be used to take the place of medicine.

33. What can we know about the mentioned stress hormones?

A. They can benefit us when we are in danger.   B. They will surely lead to heart diseases.

C. They can lower our blood pressure.         D. They will make us live an unhealthy lifestyle.

34. Why does Dr. Chockalingam think smiling is helpful to our health?

A. It can happen for no reason.      B. It increases sugar levels.

C. It has little bad side effects.      D. It can make us relax.

35. What can be the best title for the text?

A. A Thorough Analysis of the Causes of Heart Diseases

B. One Thing You Can Do Right Now to Help Your Heart

C. One Thing That Is Closely Connected with Stress Hormones

D. The Clear Connection Between Unhealthy Lifestyles and Heart Diseases

第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Many people, including some successful men, wear the same clothing daily to focus their decision-making energy on more important things.   36   Julia, an art teacher, is wearing the same dress for the first 100 days of school to create awareness of the environmental costs of fast fashion.

Available online or from various shops, it allows everyone to adopt the latest fashion trends instantly. Though that sounds like a win-win for all, the rapid change in styles and the affordable prices result in impulse (冲动) purchases, many of which are thrown away after being worn just once or twice.   37  

Julia's idea for the "One Outfit (服装), 100 Days" began as a comment she made to her husband during the summer.   38   Moreover, it would serve as a great lesson for her new students. Selecting a perfect outfit for the challenge was a little tricky. After some consideration, Julia settled on a plain dress. Though she has a backup dress, Julia plans to use it only if absolutely necessary.

   39   It has also inspired some of her colleagues and her husband to take up the challenge. Julia says the experiment has forced her to rethink her attitude towards clothes. She values things more now-respecting the planet for her children and trying to value herself in a different way, as opposed to caring so much about what she looks like. 40 Reuse, recycle, and, most importantly, reduce.

A. Julia is also tired of making decisions on small things.

B. The experiment has aroused curiosity of many students.

C. Julia's "One Outfit, 100 Days" challenge, however, has a selfless aim.

D. Thanks to Julia's idea, the whole school began to follow her challenge.

E. She hopes more people will learn from her and apply the 3Rs to their life.

F. Over 21 billion pounds of cloth ends up being waste yearly in the US alone.

G. Thinking further, she decided it would be a way to show her eco-friendly lifestyle.
