We worked in a zoo. Though we felt very tired, working there still impressed (给......留下印象) me a lot.One day, before lunch I had to cover the road with mud (泥土) and sand. It seemed that heavy rain caused a lot of trouble. A strong, cowboy-looking man usually told us what to do. It was usually hard work. When he came and asked for help, we did a finger-guessing game to decide who would be the “lucky one”. At first the only girl in our team lost the game, but that man needed someone stronger to do this, so I was picked. He may have overestimated (高估) my strength!In the afternoon, we cut fruits into pieces according to the menus for animals. We also went to pick up kangaroo dropping (粪便) and put it in boxes as a “present” for dung beetles (蜣螂). When collecting the kangaroos’ droppings, the biggest kangaroo left some fresh pieces. I thought it was going to be much messier than those dry old ones, but it wasn’t as bad as I thought.During those few days, I saw how the zookeepers took care of the animals. None of the animals were treated like pets. When feeding birds, we tied (绑) pieces of fruit onto fresh tree branches (树枝) and left the branches in their cages. Even animals in the zoo lived with pride (自尊). I believe that it was the environment that provided everyone a chance to be respected.26.

Because the zookeepers treat animals like pets. B. Because they left the branches with fruit in animals’ cages. C. Because the environment provides animals a chance to be respected.30.

Collecting droppings in an Australian zoo.DWhen COVID-19 first began to spread (传播) across the United States, one of the biggest fights was about face masks. Should you wear one or not? Some people said masks were no use. Others said they could stop most germs (病毒).Now, doctors and scientists around the world advise wearing a mask. But by the time this became the common medical view (医学观点) it was too late. Many people had decided they would never wear a mask. “At the beginning, people were told wearing a mask was not helpful,” says Jonas Kaplan, who studies how thinking takes place in the brain. “Then we got new information. But for many people it’s hard to change their minds.” Kaplan says we often look for and believe information we agree with and ignore information that shows we might be wrong.A new study shows our brain activity is different when facing different information. When we are confident (确信的) about something, our brains become more active only if the information agrees with our ideas. If it disagrees, there is no activity in our brains. A second study finds that the more confident you are in yourself, the more your brain focuses on (关注) information that agrees with your idea and sweeps opposing (相反的) ideas out the door.These new studies help to show why it’s so hard to change our minds. But if we understand this risk, we can find ways to fight it.31. What does the underlined word “this” refer to? A. The spread of COVID-19. B. Stopping germs. C. Wearing masks.32. The underlined word “ignore” means “_______” in Chinese. A. 搜集 B. 忽视 C. 提供33. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about? A. The result of the studies. B. The importance of the studies. C. Some reasons for opposing ideas.34. What can we learn from the passage? A. Confident people do better in the studies. B. Sometimes being confident is not a good thing. C. Our brains are good at taking in new information.35. We can infer that the writer may talk about _______ next. A. why our brains become more active B. what we can do to fight the risk C. why learning about opposing ideas is important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。Just like most of the universities around the world, Virginia Tech University celebrated the class of 2020 with an on-line graduation ceremony (毕业典礼). 36. __________________ He is an 8-year-old therapy dog (治疗犬) named Moose.
