阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Coach your favorite sports to poor children in schools. Help these children to get a structured sporting education and see their joy as they pick up new skills. If that’s not enough sport for you, you can even get involved in playing with local teams in your evenings and at weekends.
Description
As a volunteer sports coach, you and your group will head to 3 schools each day to coach your chosen sport or a variety of them. Sports coaching volunteering involves not just teaching the kids, but also acting as a good role model. Children are aged about 10-13 and are often new to playing sport in a structured environment. You don’t need to be a top player to take part (though any champions are welcome!)—it’s your patience and drive that will make the biggest effects.
Which sports to coach?
Sports coaching volunteers can choose to specialize in coaching just one sport, but often we find that it is best to combine several sports for more variety. The freedom to choose between different sports makes the weeks even more diverse. Follow the links to find out more about each sport.
Accommodation
·The accommodation is located in a leafy suburb10 minutes’ drive from the city centre and the seafront.
·Sports volunteers share accommodation with childcare and teaching volunteers.
Food
All dietary requirements can be catered for, as long as we know about them in advance. Coaching children in sport will make you hungry—many volunteers choose to supplement (补充) their meals with snacks bought in the local shops, just 10 minutes’ walk away. There is a volunteer kitchen where participants can do any cooking they wish outside of mealtimes.
Want to go travelling afterwards
We can arrange a week-long Garden Route tour after your time on the project. Follow the link to find out more about the Garden Route Tour.
21. What can a volunteer do in the evenings if he wants to do more sports?
A. Drive to the supermarket. B. Pay a visit to 3 schools.
C. Match with local teams. D. Have a Garden Route tour.
22. Which is the most important as sports coaching volunteers?
A. Being a top player. B. Being skilled in various sports.
C. Being able to cook well. D. Being motivated and patient.
23. Where is the text probably from?
A. A web page. B. A news magazine.
C. A travel guide. D. An education paper.
B
Instead of escaping the summer heat in air-conditioning indoors, Mustafa Furkan Ozgener prefers the sunshine in an experimental seed field of over 200 kinds of melons in Pingluo County, Northwest China’s Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. Picking melons, weighing them, observing their growth, tasting, recording and taking pictures, the 31-year-old Turkishman runs his tests on up to 50 kinds of melons every day. “I love working in the field. Melons are favored in Turkey in the hot summers and my job here is to choose the best kinds for Turkish customers,” he said.
Influenced by his father who used to do business in China, Ozgener majored in Chinese at university and therefore expected a journey to China one day. The young man visited China for the first time as an exchange student in Beijing. Two years later, Ozgener applied for a master’s degree in tourism management at China’s Sun Yat-sen University. Since then, he’s traveled around the country to learn about the colorful Chinese culture and enjoy different dishes. “The more I learn about China, the more I want to stay here,” said Ozgener. He worked as a translator in Ningxia after graduation.
The company Ozgener works for now is a scientific and technological enterprise engaged in vegetable planting, production, promotion, import and export. It has bred over 70 new varieties of seeds and exported seeds to 27 countries and regions in Asia and Africa, including the Middle East.
Before the outbreak of COVID-19, Ozgener would spend two months in Hainan and another four months in Ningxia to help foreign clients select seeds. Then he would go back to Turkey. But due to the epidemic (流行病), he has stayed in Ningxia for more than a year, observing and selecting target seeds in the field every day.
“I used to do translation work only, but now I’m also responsible for all the stuff related to the seeds. It’s tiring but rewarding, because I can learn a lot. I will continue to pursue my dream here,” said Ozgener.
24. Why does Ozgener work in the melon field in Ningxia?
A. He likes the hot weather there.
B. He prefers eating melons there.
C. He loves working in the field there.
D. His father wants him to work there.
25. What do we know about Ozgener?
A. He learned Chinese in Beijing as an exchange student.
B. He worked in the field in Hainan after graduation.
C. He traveled around China the first time he came there.
D. He had a greater interest in China as time went by.
26. What kind of person is Ozgener?
A. Hard-working and determined. B. Energetic and patient.
C. Kind and devoted. D. Ambitious and confident.
27. What is the text mainly about?
A. A man’s wonderful journey to China.
B. Planting and selling melons in Turkey.
C. A tiring job in the field in a hot summer.
D. Going after a dream of planting seeds in Ningxia.
C
Now, a study proves that gardens are more than just a pretty place. The study, by researchers at Illinois State University, demonstrates that such constructed gardens can have a measurable and positive impact on water quality.
Floating gardens are essentially platforms built and wrapped in coconut husks (椰子壳), and filled in with native plantings. As plants grow, they extend their roots into the water. On the North Branch of the Chicago River, non-profit Urban Rivers and its partners are developing a mile-long floating eco-park called the Wild Mile. The re-development of this former industrial canal is Urban Rivers’ important project. As part of the park, floating gardens, attached to shore, are being fixed.
The primary aim of the floating gardens is beautification. But the Illinois State team, from the University’s Department of Geology, Geography, and the Environment, saw an ideal setup for a controlled experiment. “We joined it because it’s the perfect opportunity to see if there’s an influence on water quality,” explains lead author Abigail Heath.
The study is novel: previous studies have explored floating gardens’ influence on water quality over time, primarily in wastewater treatment ponds, but not over space, in moving water. The project also matches well with Urban Rivers’ broader goals. “The city is interested in bettering water quality,” says Phil Nicodemus, Urban Rivers’ Director of Research. “Happily, Illinois State took part in it later.”
Could this small human-made park improve water quality? An average of data collected over the course of the study shows middle but definitive improvement. For example, nitrogen (氮) dropped from 4.69 milligrams per liter in surface water to 4.43 milligrams per liter, a drop of about 1 percent.
Despite how small this garden was, there was measurable improvement in water quality from upstream to downstream, notes Heath. She and her colleagues see this as a model for how large floating gardens should be to help improve water in similar settings. “Even this tiny garden makes a difference,” she says.
28. What can be inferred from the second paragraph?
A. The floating gardens are environmentally friendly.
B. The floating gardens are fixed everywhere in the eco-park.
C. The floating gardens can help fix the former parks.
D. The Urban Rivers were once industrial canals.
29. What is the main reason to build the floating gardens?
A. To reduce waste water.
B. To attract more visitors to the park.
C. To make the surroundings brilliant.
D. To help researchers do the experiment.
30. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 4?
A. The floating garden. B. The project.
C. The treatment of ponds. D. The quality of water.
31. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?
A. Floating Gardens: More than Pretty
B. The Best Way to Better Water Quality
C. A Practical Method of Improving Parks
D. Floating Gardens Beautify the City
D
Stressed at work and feeling your blood pressure rise? People all over the world are told by their doctors to try for a low-sodium (钠) diet to treat high blood pressure or other diseases, but there’s no denying that salt makes food taste good. Fortunately, Japanese researchers at Tokyo’s Meiji University and the manufacturer Kirin have developed high-tech chopsticks that enhance (增强) salty tastes, potentially helping those who need to reduce sodium in their diets.
These wired-up chopsticks are actually part of a device that there searchers say can enhance the salty flavor of low-sodium foods. And when they were tested on participants for the first time, results showed that the high-tech chopsticks increase perceived (察觉到) saltiness in foods by about 1.5 times.
According to the research team, the basic principle is that the extra salty flavor is perceived due to extremely weak electric currents conveyed directly into the mouth through the tip of one of the chopsticks. Scientists have apparently been using this kind of weak electricity to play with flavors in the lab for years, but these chopsticks in particular are set to adjust the activity of ions (离子) in sodium chloride (table salt), which enhances salty flavor.
And do these chopsticks work as expected? To verify the effect of the new chopsticks, the researchers conducted an experiment on a total of 36 participants aged 40 to 65, all of whom were eating a low-sodium diet. If nothing else, one thing was clear: participants using the chopsticks tasted more salt than they did without. Results show that they even thought that low-sodium food eaten with the high-tech chopsticks tasted saltier than regular food made with an average amount of sodium, and eaten with normal chopsticks.
The chopsticks aren’t on store shelves quite yet, but with promising results, people around the world who are unhappily devoted to a low-sodium diet might just be excited for any updates to come!
32. What is the main function of the future high-tech chopsticks?
A. To treat blood pressure. B. To test how salty a dish is.
C. To increase the saltiness of food. D. To help reduce salt intake.
33. How do the high-tech chopsticks work?
A. By sending warning information to the brain.
B. By changing the saltiness of food with electric shocks.
C. By using electricity to transport ions between chopsticks.
D. By tricking our brains into tasting extra salt.
34. What does the underlined word “verify” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Confirm. B. Improve. C. Change. D. Strengthen.
35. What is the writer’s attitude toward the future of the chopsticks?
A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Uncertain. D. Pessimistic.

Neither of us has ever been to a cat cafe although I’ve heard of cat cafes in Japan. So when we saw The Cat Brothers Cafe near our hotel in Chiang Mai, we knew we had to stop by. 36
Generally speaking, the biggest complaint about cat cafes is that the cats are uninterested in visitors. Instead, what they prefer to do is spend their time away from the coffee-drinking customers, who were usually cat lovers as well. 37 It is home to roughly 20 cats who were all full of energy. During our visit, we had 4-5 cats hanging around our table at any given time. They seemed to welcome, or at least enjoyed being petted. They were far more friendly than we expected. There are a number of baskets and cat houses spreading around the room. 38 Even the sleeping cats could be made for great photos. So if you are a photographer lover, you will find many surprises here.
39 The first floor is cat-free. And it is especially perfect if you’re looking to get some work done. Some writers and white-collar workers like to choose this floor.
The second floor is where the interaction is. Be prepared for lots of cat-action, especially if you buy the cat food downstairs. 40 When you run out of food, grab one of the many toys laying around and have some fun with the playful cats. If you, or the cats, are tired of playing, just sit back and catch some interesting shots of cute cats and taste some delicious coffee.
A. It only costs 200 JPY.
B. The cat cafe actually has two levels.
C. Luckily, the cats here were super friendly.
D. You can’t bring your own food to the cat cafe.
E. So if the cats felt tired, they were able to hide away.
F. It was an appealing and comfortable casual-style cat cafe.
G. If the cats were still energetic, they would continue playing.

The mind of a child is like a sponge (海绵), absorbing information from all available sources and rapidly learning human skills.
Researchers have now found that children are 41 with their energy. They only try hard and 42 effort when they know it will be beneficial. This means small children’s learning systems are more 43 than previously thought, as they do not just 44 adults’ examples or try at random.

It was once 51 that children either try things at random or simply 52 what they see adults doing, but this research proves it to be untrue. 53 , children combine all information available to make a 54 as to whether a task is worth persisting with. The research shows children combine their own 55 with their previous knowledge to decide when is best to try hard.
Experts say 56 is important and plays a role in learning and life outcomes like school 57 and emotional health. But it is not always a good idea to persist because effort is a 58 resource. Besides, making an effort requires 59 and energy. What truly 60 learning is knowing when to try and what the best way to try is.

After graduating from high school, I’m going to be computer programmer, which I think is on great demand in the modern world. Moreover, my parents would like me to study medicine. They believe here are two reasons for being a doctor. One is that doctors usually deal with patients in person, which mean they are able to help people in need direct. The other is that doctors are so important that it is almost impossible for it to lose jobs. Up to now I have chatted with my parents for three time. To my disappointment, I was failed to persuade them. Now I am confusing about how to solve the problem.
