4.(10分)"Humans can develop certain abilities we aren't born with by practicing animals' movements," the traditional Chinese Wushu lovers believed in the past — and still do today.
Chinese Five﹣Animal Exercises,also known as Wuqinxi,are the first complete set of gigong exercises following the movements of animals:monkeys,deer,birds,bears and tigers.They were created by one of the greatest doctors in Chinese history,Hua Tuo,more than 1,800 years ago.
The Five﹣Animal Exercises are well﹣designed to help blood circulation(循环),and let the energy go smoothly in the body so as to improve the health.
"The bear movements are good for the stomach.The tiger movements can reduce the pain in the back.The deer movements help reduce the fat around the waist(腰).The bird movements can help keep our knees healthy and the monkey movements can be good for the heart." said Hua Yi,the 59th inheritor(继承人)of Wuqinxi.
For those new learners,the first few exercises might not go well.You may find it hard to focus.Wear comfortable clothes,keep peaceful in your mind,try to move slowly...Little by little,you'll feel more and more harmonious with nature.You may even feel you become a tiger or a deer,walking in the forest freely.
These exercises need no tools and they are easy to learn.You can search online for the videos and practice them at any time when you feel like relaxing your body and mind.Because it's fun to practice and good for health,Five﹣Animal Exercises are becoming more and more popular in recent years,not only in China,but also in many other places of the world.

5.(10分)Last week,a US technology company called Boston Dynamics started selling its dog﹣like robot "Spot" online for just under £59,000 each.(1) Some people think that robot pets will one day replace real pets.Others say that a robot pet will never be able to love a human like a real animal.Is a robotic pet better than a real one?
Yes — They're much easier to look after.

No — It's not the same thing.
(4) Humans have kept pets for thousands of years — it's a bond(纽带) that can't be replaced by anything else.Animal behavior shows that pets really do love their owners. (5) Besides,it's much better to have a real pet because there are many homeless animals in the UK.

三、第三节 阅读下面的短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
6.(10分)The United Nations believes about 17 percent of the world's food goes to waste each year.That amounts to 931 million tons of food being thrown away from homes,stores and food companies.
The Information comes from the UN Environment Program's Food Waste Index Report 2021.The report says food waste is not only a problem in rich countries like Britain and the United States.It happens in poor countries,too,where food can go bad without cold storage.Most of the wasted food — 61 percent comes from homes.The rest comes from stores and food service companies.
Sometimes stores offer reduced prices on larger amounts of food,so people buy too much food,but they do not always use it before it goes bad.Also,the writing on food containers(容器) can be hard to understand.In some cases,the producers put a date that shows when the food will be best to eat.Sometimes the food is still good for a number of days after the date,but people will throw it away.Food administrators in the US have asked producers to label(标明) their products in a way that is easier for people to understand.
Researchers say more attention should be paid to the influences of food waste on the world.In the past few years,because of food waste,an increasing amount of land has been required to plant crops.What's more,more forests are also being cleared for more food production.If food waste is reduced,it might be possible to lessen the food production.
(1)How much food is being wasted from homes,stores and food companies?
(2)Is food waste a problem in poor countries?
(3)Why do people sometimes buy too much food?
(4)How can food producers help people reduce food waste?

Ruzo was a boy living in Peru.His grandfather once told(2) (he) that some soldiers made their way to enter the Amazon jungle for gold.When then came back,they told terrible stories about dangerous water,the spiders(3) ate birds and a boiling river as if a fire burnt below it.
Ruzo,an earth scientist,decided to find out whether the boiling river was real.Although the work was not easy,he(4) (support)by his family.He joined a team to search for the river.The team was divided into three groups and Ruzo was one of the(5) (leader).After days and nights' hard work,Ruzo managed(6) (find) the amazing river in the end.The river,called Boiling River,is about 6.4 kilometers long,25 meters wide and 6 meters deep.The water was so hot that local people made tea with it.People who fall into it would be(7) (bad) hurt.

六、第三节 阅读下面的短文,将划线部分译成英文或中文。
9.(10分)Have you ever been to a buffet restaurant(自助餐厅)?(1)You can eat as much as you want for one low price at these places.
Sadly,many of these restaurants have closed in the US due to the COVID﹣19 pandemic.At buffet restaurants,people have to share one serving area when they get their food,(2)which makes it easier for illnesses to spread. But for a long time,they were quite popular.
"Buffet" is the French word for sideboard — a piece of furniture that was used to serve food and display(展示) serving dishes.The word was later used to describe a new dining concept(理念):serving yourself from a wide selection of dishes,including soups,salads,and other dishes that are easy to share.
Most buffet restaurants in the US are "all you can eat" — that is,you pay one price and can go back to the buffet table for seconds,thirds,or even fourths!
In fact,one of my first experiences with Chinese food was at a buffet.(3)中国的自助餐在美国非常普遍。 Even in the small town where I went to college,there were three different Chinese buffet restaurants.(4)我周末常常和朋友去那里。 We would pay just eight dollars to eat plate after plate of kung pao chicken,ginger beef,and egg rolls.(5)For kids like us who didn't have much money,the Chinese buffet was a lifesaver.
Here in China,I sometimes go to a Sunday buffet at a fancy(高档的) hotel.It's a bit expensive,but when I go,I can eat as much steak(牛排) and shrimp(虾) as I want.

三、第三节 阅读下面的短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
6.(10分)The United Nations believes about 17 percent of the world's food goes to waste each year.That amounts to 931 million tons of food being thrown away from homes,stores and food companies.
The Information comes from the UN Environment Program's Food Waste Index Report 2021.The report says food waste is not only a problem in rich countries like Britain and the United States.It happens in poor countries,too,where food can go bad without cold storage.Most of the wasted food — 61 percent comes from homes.The rest comes from stores and food service companies.
Sometimes stores offer reduced prices on larger amounts of food,so people buy too much food,but they do not always use it before it goes bad.Also,the writing on food containers(容器) can be hard to understand.In some cases,the producers put a date that shows when the food will be best to eat.Sometimes the food is still good for a number of days after the date,but people will throw it away.Food administrators in the US have asked producers to label(标明) their products in a way that is easier for people to understand.
Researchers say more attention should be paid to the influences of food waste on the world.In the past few years,because of food waste,an increasing amount of land has been required to plant crops.What's more,more forests are also being cleared for more food production.If food waste is reduced,it might be possible to lessen the food production.
(1)How much food is being wasted from homes,stores and food companies? 931 million tons.
(2)Is food waste a problem in poor countries? Yes (,it is).
(3)Why do people sometimes buy too much food? Because sometimes stores offer reduced prices on larger amounts of food.
(4)How can food producers help people reduce food waste? By labeling their products in a way that is easier for people to understand.
(5)What influence does food waste have on the world? An increasing amount of land has been required to plant crops and more forests are also being cleared for more food production.
【分析】本文讲述了食物浪费以及其带来的问题。
【解答】细节理解题。
(1)根据The United Nations believes about 17 percent of the world's food goes to waste each year.That amounts to 931 million tons of food being thrown away from homes,stores and food companies.(联合国认为,世界上每年约有17%的粮食被浪费。这相当于9.31亿吨食品被从家庭、商店和食品公司扔掉。)可知家庭、商店和食品公司浪费了9.31亿吨食物。故答案为:931 million tons.
(2)根据The report says food waste is not only a problem in rich countries like Britain and the United States.It happens in poor countries,too,where food can go bad without cold storage.Most of the wasted food — 61 percent comes from homes.(该报告说,食物垃圾不仅仅是英国和美国等富裕国家的问题。这种情况也发生在贫穷国家,那里的食物不冷藏就会变质。大部分浪费的食物﹣﹣﹣61%来自家庭。)可知食物浪费是贫穷国家的问题。故答案为:Yes (,it is).
(3)根据Sometimes stores offer reduced prices on larger amounts of food,so people buy too much food,but they do not always use it before it goes bad.(有时,商店会对大量食品提供降价,因此人们会购买过多的食品,但他们并不总是在食品变质前就使用。)可知人们有时会买太多的食物是因为有时商店对大量食品提供降价。故答案为:Because sometimes stores offer reduced prices on larger amounts of food.
(4)根据In some cases,the producers put a date that shows when the food will be best to eat.Sometimes the food is still good for a number of days after the date,but people will throw it away.Food administrators in the US have asked producers to label(标明) their products in a way that is easier for people to understand.(在某些情况下,生产商会设定一个日期,表明什么时候食物最好吃。有时食物在约会后的几天内仍然很好,但人们会把它扔掉。美国的食品管理者已要求生产商以更易于人们理解的方式为其产品贴上标签。)可知食品生产商是通过以更易于人们理解的方式标记他们的产品来帮助人们减少食品浪费。故答案为:By labeling their products in a way that is easier for people to understand.
(5)根据Researchers say more attention should be paid to the influences of food waste on the world.In the past few years,because of food waste,an increasing amount of land has been required to plant crops.What's more,more forests are also being cleared for more food production.If food waste is reduced,it might be possible to lessen the food production.(研究人员说,应该更多地关注食物浪费对世界的影响。在过去几年中,由于粮食浪费,种植作物所需的土地越来越多。更重要的是,为了更多的粮食生产,更多的森林正在被砍伐。如果减少食物浪费,就有可能减少食物生产。)可知食物浪费使种植作物所需的土地越来越多,更多的森林也在被砍伐,用于更多的粮食生产。故答案为:An increasing amount of land has been required to plant crops and more forests are also being cleared for more food production.

Sadly,many of these restaurants have closed in the US due to the COVID﹣19 pandemic.At buffet restaurants,people have to share one serving area when they get their food,(2)which makes it easier for illnesses to spread. But for a long time,they were quite popular.
"Buffet" is the French word for sideboard — a piece of furniture that was used to serve food and display(展示) serving dishes.The word was later used to describe a new dining concept(理念):serving yourself from a wide selection of dishes,including soups,salads,and other dishes that are easy to share.
