Public toilets are known for a number of things, and they're almost all bad. They're typically dirty, smelly and depending on where they're located,crowded. There's nothing worse than needing to use the restroom only to spot a public toilet and then walk up to see that it's occupied.Tokyo is working to solve problems like this by renovating(翻修）dozens of public toilet locations around the Shibuya district, and they've hired professional architects to put their own spin on things. The "Tokyo Toilet Project" is an effort by the Nippon Foundation to revitalize the commonly used public toilets in Shibuya, and while each location will get its own unique trick, the transparent toilets are definitely getting the most attention from passersby.

“There are two concerns with public toilets, especially those located in parks,”the Nippon

Foundation says. “The first is whether it is clean inside, and the second is that no one is secretly waiting inside. Using a new technology, we made the outer walls with glass, so that a person can check inside before entering. At night, they light up the parks like a beautiful lantern.” The toilets are lined with transparent glass,offering would-be bathroom users a hint as to whether they're occupied or not.

The real trick,however,comes when you close and lock the doors. Nobody wants to have people watching them while they're doing their business, and these transparent toilets have a very interesting trick up their sleeves. When you lock the doors, the specialized glass panels(嵌板） turn opaque, preventing anyone from peeping inside. When the door is unlocked, the glass becomes transparent once again.

Whether the good people of Tokyo will decide that these new and improved restrooms are worthy of use remains to be seen, but I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't want to spend some time in them.

24. Why are the public toilets in Tokyo being renovated?

A. To inspire architects' creativity.

B. To better meet users' demand.

C.To attract passersby' s attention.

D.To improve the urban environment.

25. The transparent toilet is designed to

A. show if it is available

B. provide enough light inside

C.ensure it is easier to clean

D. create a novel appearance

26. What is the function of the transparent toilet's trick?

A.It cuts the cost of power.

B.It protects the users' privacy.

C.It stores personal belongings.

D. It locks the door automatically.

27. What is the author's attitude towards the transparent toilet?

A. Indifferent.

B.Unfavorable.

C.Optimistic.

D.Neutral.

C

Up to 40 percent of all food in the United States is wasted. Producing food that people don't consume swallows up roughly 20 percent of America's cropland and agricultural water, and produces greenhouse gas emissions(排放物） equal to 37 million passenger vehicles each year. Yet,37 million Americans lack consistent access to adequate and nutritious food.

NRDC' s Food Matters Initiative partners cities to confront food waste. Food Matters is piloting all-round,cutting-edge strategies that are easy to follow and share. The first two strategies -and arguably the most critical ones -are to estimate a local baseline level of food waste and then assess the potential for rescuing surplus food. A baseline is necessary in order to understand the scale and nature of the problem. It is also a prerequisite(先决条件）to assessing any progress made,which will help inform future program development.

Using a calculator tool NRDC developed based on the Food Matters research models, the Atlanta's Mayor's Office of Resilience had a better understanding of the quantities of wasted food and where it was likely occurring. This allowed the city to focus their attention on the solutions that were more closely related to the situation in Atlanta.

·As in many cities across the US,much of the food wasted in Atlanta occurs in households and consumer-facing businesses such as restaurants. Armed with this information, the Mayor's Office of Resilience creates a restaurant challenge encouraging restaurants to work on the entire system of reduction, rescue, and recycling. After 90 days and participation from 6 restaurants at Atlanta's Hartsfield Jackson airport, the program rescued 21,000 meals and saved owners over $62,000.

Atlanta's restaurant challenge is one of a handful of examples where cities have engaged(吸引） consumer-facing food businesses to reduce their food waste. New York led the charge with a Mayor's challenge to restaurants.Denver recently completed a series of neighborhood restaurant challenges.. Nashville has an ongoing Mayor's Food Saver Challenge including not just restaurants but other food businesses as well. Several other cities and counties throughout the country have similar business engagement success stories.

28.What are the data mainly about in paragraph 1?

A. The harm of food waste.

B.The cause of food pollution.

C.The importance of food safety.

D.The solution to food waste.

29.How does Atlanta benefit from the calculator tool of NRDC?

A. It makes new plans for banning food waste.

B.It helps the city better work on the solutions.

C.It tests the work efficiency of the government.

D. It increases the potential for recycling food waste.

30.What is the restaurant challenge mainly about?

A. Inspiring customers to order food based on actual need.

B.Teaching waiters to deal with food waste in a greener way.

C.Encouraging restaurants to reduce food waste in every process.

D.Making restaurants compete with each other in waste recycling.

31. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A.Restaurant challenges only work in America.

B.More and more cities are focusing on food waste.

C.Food businesses are the main sources of food waste.

D.It's difficult to complete the restaurant challenges.

D

Across the United Kingdom, as the COVID-19 crisis has bitten deeper, its citizens have started a new practice: Emerging from self-isolation every Thursday night at 8 p.m. to clap, cheer, and bang pots and pans to show support for the country's front-line doctors and nurses.

But as the death toll today hit a single-day U.K. record of 980-and with the peak death rate still estimated to be two weeks away-the crisis caused by the scale of the pandemic(流行病）has been worsened here by a new degree of political uncertainty. Prime Minister Boris Johnson was admitted to the hospital on Sunday and has spent his days and nights in intensive care fighting the virus, surrounded by the doctors and nurses of the National Health Service.

The U.K. is not alone in showing new found public affection for key workers, nor in facing an unprecedented public health emergency that has, in Europe, especially affected Italy,Spain,and France. A recent U.K. government appeal for 250,000 volunteers to help the NHS (National Health Service) yielded an army of 750,000 would-be helpers. But the pandemic finds the U.K. at a politically uncertain moment, as a nation finally emerging from three and a half years of political issue over its chaotic departure from the European Union.A. December election that gave a decisive victory to Mr. Johnson and the ruling Conservative Party added clarity to a Brexit(英国脱欧）mandate and was seen by many as a potential first step in healing deep divisions in Britain's political and social structure...

Acknowledging the impact of the coronavirus on daily lives,Queen Elizabeth II, in a rare address on Sunday,praised the "national spirit" and thanked NHS and care workers,whose "every hour” of hard work "brings us closer to a return to a more normal time.” Calling on citizens to “remain united and resolute" to overcome the pandemic,she sought to provide comfort."While we may have still more to endure,better days will return We will meet again," she said.

32. What contributed to worsening the current crisis in the U.K?

A. The pandemic of COVID-19.

B.The vote for Brexit.

C.Political instability.

D.The December election.

33.The British showed widespread support to the fight against corónavirus EXCEPT by.

A. organizing 750,000 helpers to join the army

B.clapping,cheering,and banging pots and pans every Thursday night

C.advocating volunteers to help the NHS

D. praising the "national.spirit" in Queen's speech

34. It can be inferred from the passage that

A. The death toll set a new single-day record and the peak death had arrived

B.the COVID-19 has been found in European history

C.Prime Minister Boris Johnson was receiving good medical treatment

·D.Conservative Party has healed the deep political and social divisions

35.Where might the passage come from?

A.A noticeboard.

B.A private e-mail.

C.A research paper.

D.A newspaper.

Culture Shock

Moving to a new country can be an exciting experience. In a new environment, you somehow feel more alive.Soon,however,the new and delightful feeling turns into stress and discomfort. 36 Although not everyone experiences culture shock in exactly the same way, many experts agree that it has roughly five stages.

In the first stage, you are excited by, your new environment. Your feelings about the new culture are positive,so you are eager to make contact with people and to try new foods.

37 This is the second stage of culture shock. Because you do not know the social customs of the new culture, you may find it difficult to make friends. For instance, you do not understand how to make "small talk," so it is hard to carry on a casual,get-acquainted conversation. These are not minor challenges; they are major frustrations.

In the third stage, you no longer have positive feelings about the new culture. You feel that you have made a mistake in coming here. Making friends hasn't been easy, so you begin to feel lonely and isolated. 38 You begin to spend most of your free time with students from your home country, and you eat in restaurants that serve your native food.

You know that you are in the fourth stage of culture shock when you have negative feelings about almost everything. 39 You become critical, suspicious, and irritable. You believe that people are unfriendly, that your teachers do not like you, and that the food is making you sick.

Finally, you reach the fifth stage. As your language skills improve, you begin to have some success in meeting people and in negotiating situations. 40 After realizing that you cannot change your surroundings, you begin to accept the differences and tolerate them.

A.Your self-confidence grows.

B.You'1l regret making the decision.

C.These are the causes of culture shock.

D.In this stage,you actively reject the new culture.

E.This is the phenomenon known as culture shock.

F.Now you want to be:with familiar people and eat familiar food.

G. Sooner or later, differences in behavior and customs become noticeable to you.

55,flexibility with your classes gives you the chance to make time for other important things' in your life-like working a job to earn some money, spending time with friends and family, and also taking much-needed time for yourself.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Standing by the window,Della looked out unhappily at a gray cat walking along a gray fence in a gray back yard.Tomorrow would be Christmas Day, and she had only one dollar and eighty-seven cents to buy her husband Jim a gift.

There was a tall glass mirror between the windows of the room. Suddenly Della turned from the window and stood before the glass mirror and looked at herself. Now,Mister and Missus James Dillingham Young had two possessions which they valued. One was Jim's gold watch that had been his father's and his grandfather's. The other was Della's hair.

Della's beautiful hair fell about her, shining like a brown waterfall. It reached below her knees and made itself almost like a covering for her. She stood still while a few tears fell on the floor.And then quickly she put on her coat. With a quick motion and brightness in her eyes, she danced out the door and down the street.

Where she stopped the sign read: “Madame Sofrónie. Hair Goods of All Kinds."Della ran up the steps to the shop, out of breath.

“Will you buy my hair?" asked Della.

“Twenty dollars,'"said Madame,lifting the hair with an experienced hand.

The next two hours went by as if they had wings. Della looked in all the stores to choose a gift for Jim. She found it at last. It was a chain-simple round rings of silver. It was perfect for Jim's gold watch and it cost twenty-one dollars.

When Della arrived home she watched herself in the mirror. The hair had been ruined by her love and her desire to give a special gift.

At seven o'clock that night the coffee was made and the pan on the back of the stove was hot and ready to cook the meat.

Jim was never late coming home from work. Della held the silver chain in her hand and sat near the door.Then she heard his steps and she turned white for just a minute, whispering:“Please God, make him think I am still pretty.”

注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

The door opened and Jim stepped in.

Inside Jim's package were combs -something special to hold and decorate her long hair.

One possible version:

Paragraph 1:The door opened and Jim stepped in.Stopping inside the door, Jim's eyes were fixed upon Della with a strange expression she could not read. It terrified her. “Jim, darling,” she cried,"don't look at me that way.I had my hair cut off and sold because I couldn't have lived through Christmas without giving you a present." “You've cut off your hair?" asked Jim, as if he had not arrived at that fact yet even after the hardest mental labor.Then, slowly, from his overcoat pocket, he drew a package and put it upon the table.

Paragraph 2:Inside Jim 's package were combs-something special to hold and decorate her long hair. Beautiful combs, pure tortoise shell, with jeweled rims--just the shade to wear in the beautiful vanished hair. With tears, Della hugged them to her bosom and said: “My hair grows so fast, Jim!” And then she cried,“Oh, oh! Give me your watch. You don't know what a nice gift I've got for you."Instead of obeying, Jim smiled. “Dell,let's put our Christmas presents away and keep them a while. They're too nice to use just at present. I sold the watch to get the money to.buy your combs.”
