Last week, I finally managed to ask my parents to buy me a new football shirt for the school match. I was very excited and wore it to the training before the match, but I wished I hadn’t done that! My new shirt was torn after the training and only a tailor could help!
As I walked home worriedly, I saw a shop sign: All Kinds of Repairs and Services! I went inside at once.

This is a repair shop and I can repair everything!”
“But... what I need is a tailor to deal with my football shirt.”
“You’ve come to the right place. I’ve been waiting a long, long time to repair a football shirt.”
“Really?” I held the shirt in my hands.
To my surprise, he took the shirt from me, put on glasses and sat down on the sofa with my shirt in his hands. “I guess you are a striker(前锋),” he smiled warmly. How could he know? The man said calmly, “See that picture on the wall? That was me 30 years ago.”
I couldn’t believe my eyes! He was Orhan, the famous footballer who was on the city team years ago! I told him I was playing for the school team and I had been his fan for years. I told him everything, my dream, my practice and even my dad’s words. “Dad thinks I should be an engineer or a doctor.” I lowered my head.
“Follow your dream, choose a job you love and carry on.” The man smiled at me with his blue eyes. He patted(轻拍) me on the shoulder and put the shirt he had repaired in my bag.

B
What does it mean to be green? Green is more than just a color. It also means taking special steps to protect the environment. Buying a green product is a small step everyone can take. Deciding whether a product is green, however, isn’t always easy. We need to consider the whole life cycle of the product even after it’s of no use. Here is what we may keep in mind.
The materials of a product are usually our first focus. What is it made of? Are there any harmful chemicals in it? Green products are made of more natural materials which are free from harmful chemicals, so they can be good for our health.
Packaging is important. How is a product packaged? Is it over packaged? We’d better choose glass,metal and paper packaging, as these can be reused or more easily recycled. We can also look for less packaging or even choose unbagged products whenever possible.
Location(地点) also matters. Where was a product produced? Where are we buying it? Think about how much energy was used to get it to us try to choose local products. When it comes to food, it is a good idea to order directly from local farmers, shops at markets and buy fruits in season. Buying from stores near our houses is also a wise choice, because we can go there without driving a car.
Look carefully into what the companies try to tell us about their products. It’s easy to say that a product is “green” or “all natural”, but the words may be too good to be true. So, much of the information about a product should “he taken with a grain of salt”. After all, companies try to make us believe that their products are responsible for the environment.
The greenest thing is certainly the one we don’t buy. Things like food and clothing are necessary for life. But many others are not. Better than buying is choosing to leave an unnecessary product in the store and doing without. It sends a message to the producer, keeps money in our pockets, reduces waste and keeps the planet healthy.
30. The writer would suggest choosing a product that is ________.
A. over packaged B. delivered from abroad
C. locally produced D. made of unnatural materials
31. The underlined idiom “ be taken with a grain of in salt” Paragraph 5 probably mean “________”.
A. be easily understood B. not be completely believed
C. be widely spread D. not be quickly forgotten
32. According to the author, _________.
A. products with good package usually sell better
B. making sure the things really need to buy is important
C. we should buy food produced in our own country
D. we should buy goods made of chemicals
33. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Buying Green B. Recycling Waste C. Staying Green D. Reducing Waste
【答案】30. C 31. B 32. B 33. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了绿色食品，详细介绍了作者的建议。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Think about how much energy was used to get it to us try to choose local products.”可知作者建议选择当地生产的产品，故选C。
【31题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“It’s easy to say that a product is ‘green’ or ‘all natural’, but the words may be too good to be true”（说一种产品是“绿色”或“全天然”很容易，但这些话可能好得令人难以置信）可知此句话是表示对于产品的很多信息都应该持怀疑态度，所以“be taken with a grain of salt”可能是指“不完全被相信”。故选B。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Things like food and clothing are necessary for life. But many others are not. Better than buying is choosing to leave an unnecessary product in the store and doing without. ”（像食物和衣服这样的东西是生活所必需的。但其他许多人却不是这样。比购买更好的是选择把不需要的产品留在商店里，然后不买。）可知根据作者的说法，确保真正需要购买的东西是很重要的。故选B。
【33题详解】
最佳标题题。根据“Buying a green product is a small step everyone can take. Deciding whether a product is green, however, isn’t always easy. We need to consider the whole life cycle of the product even after it’s of no use. Here is what we may keep in mind.”可知文章主要讲述的是购买绿色食品，故选A。

Who touched our hearts in 2021?
Yang Zhenning
In 1957, Yang was studying in the US. He and another Chinese student, Tsung-dao Lee, came up with a physics theory together. Months later, the two won the Nobel Prize in Physics for their theory.
However, the “frozen” Sino-US relations prevented Chinese scientists who had received doctoral degrees in the US from returning to China.
Then, in 1971, Yang finally got the chance to return to China for a visit. Later, Yang sold a house in the US, donating the money to Tsinghua University. In 2003, Yang returned to China and also taught at Tsinghua.
Janis Chan
In 2021, Chan hosted a show called No Poverty Land. The show records how people in remote areas of China get rid of poverty. In the show, Chan spends three months walking across mountains and rivers to reach remote villages.
To reach one village, she climbed a 2,556-step ladder up a steep mountain. Chan not only talked with locals but experienced their lives. She wanted to show the audience the changes that have taken place in these areas.
“There are people out there who’d always like to question the achievements of the mainland and mistrust them. We’ve seen the changes, and we felt it necessary to do a program like this.”
Su Bingtian
On Aug. 1 of that year, Su set a new record of 9.83 seconds in the Tokyo Olympics Men’s 100m semifinals, making him the first Chinese runner to enter the final in the event.
▲ . Because of an injury Su had to stop running for several years. He even planned to retire in 2017. But the call to challenge himself brought Su back to the track.
He realized that finishing the semifinal in less than 10 seconds would earn him the chance to enter the final competition. To encourage himself, Su set a personal goal of 9.89 seconds. He even made the number his password for his phone and computer.
“I hope my performance today could serve as an inspiration for younger athletes in their sporting careers.”

B. Chan didn’t manage to overcome the difficulties of working in remote areas of China.
C. People abroad have changed their ideas toward China before watching Chan’s show.
D. The injury Su had nearly stopped him from challenging himself in running.
37. Choose the best sentence to fill in the blank “ ▲ ” in the passage.

Then one day I watched an English movie called Toy Story. I fell in love with this exciting and funny movie!

根据所给的汉语内容，用英语完成下列句子。(每空限填一词)
51. Kevin喜欢阅读。他在空余的时间读了很多书。
Kevin likes reading. He reads a lot of books _________________________.
【答案】in his spare time##in his free time
【解析】
【详解】根据中英文对照，in one’s spare/free time表示“在某人空闲时间内”。his“他的”，形容词性物主代词。故填in his spare/free time。
52. 他想知道他能够为班上做什么事情。
He wanted to know______________________________for the class.
【答案】what he could do

【解析】
【详解】根据“He wanted to know”可知，此空为宾语从句，要用陈述句语序，时态要用一般过去时。“他能够做什么”译为“what can he do”，陈述句语序和一般过去时改为“what he could do”。故填what he could do。

53. 上周，他建立了读书俱乐部，和朋友们一起读书。
Last week, he __________ a reading club and read with his friends.
【答案】set up

54. 读书活动太有教育意义了，以至于越来越多的学生加入到了活动中。
The reading activity ______________________________ more and more students took part in the activity.
【答案】was so educational that

【解析】
【详解】根据中英文对照，so...that...“如此……以至于……”，引导结果状语从句；educational“有教育意义的”，形容词。主语是单数，be动词用单数形式，结合后句可知句子是一般过去时，be动词用过去式was。故填was so educational that。
55. 这个俱乐部真受欢迎啊！
___________________________ the club was!
【答案】How popular
【解析】
【详解】根据中文提示及所给英文可知，本句是一个感叹句，且强调部分是popular“受欢迎的”，是形容词，所以此处为How开头的感叹句结构“How+adj./adv.+（主语+谓语+其他）！”，故填How popular。
