Kurth Reis of San Francisco, California, has been through many hard times in his life. In 2018, Reis had a serious motorcycle accident and spent time in a hospital. The accident affected him deeply, body and spirit. He had several medical operations. Reis said he felt like he was “reborn” each time he woke after an operation. Following 88 days in the hospital, Reis was released and felt ready to change his ways.
Lately, he says he just wants to make people happy by making bubbles. You can watch him perform his bubble art for hours at a time around the city’s streets and in its parks. Sometimes he puts out a glass container called a tip jar. People who watch his show can drop money into it if they want to.
If the weather is good for bubbles, Reis makes a special mixture that can make bubbles the size of a small car. Humidity, or the amount of water in the air, is good for bubbles. So, he does not perform on very dry days. To make his large bubble, he puts a small rope hanging from two long sticks into the bubble mixture. As he removes it, he opens his arms wide and the bubbles begin to form. Once enough air is inside the bubble, he moves his arms back together to set the bubble free. Some people feel it looks like a bubble “ballet.”
While Reis may seem like a bubble-making expert, he only got started in April 2020. Reis can support himself with donations from crowds that watch him perform. But money is not what stirs him to make bubbles. He feels his art is useful in more important ways. Not long ago, a woman told Reis after a performance that his bubbles had lifted her spirit when her dad died.
Reis can see smiles rise from under the face covers worn by those watching him perform. Children cheer and clap their hands. Reis said such reactions make him feel like an essential worker whose job is to spread joy during the health crisis.
“I’m just trying to put a smile on somebody’s face by doing some bubbles.” said Reis.
24. What can we know about Kurth Reis from Paragraph 1?
A. He had to repay his operation fees.
B. He intended to do something different.
C. He suffered a minor motorcycle accident.
D. He gave up his career as a motorcyclist.
25. What may people do when they watch Reis’ performances?
A. Put some money into a tip jar near him.
B. Give him a hand when he sets a bubble free.
C. Grasp a small rope hanging from two long sticks.
D. Add a special mixture to help him make large bubbles.
26. What does the underlined word “stirs” mean in Paragraph 4?
A. forces B. determines C. stops D. encourages
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. Lost Time Is Never Found Again
B. Ups and Downs Make One Strong
C. Everything Comes to Him Who Waits
D. Small Actions Have a Big Impact
C
Activities such as art classes could be recommended as an alternative to medication for patients in England as part of a major initiative to reduce the number of people becoming dependent on prescription drugs.
The Times newspaper quotes figures showing that in the past 12 months,8.4 million adults in England were taking antidepressants(抗抑郁药)，which is 8 percent higher than 2019,which has resulted in the new advice. Around 23 percent of women are on antidepressants, and 12 percent of men.
“Medicines offer a fantastic range of tools for NHS staff to provide care that can be positively life-changing,” said Tony Avery, the national clinical director for prescribing at NHS England. “However, we need to be alert to the risks of some medicines, and the framework we are publishing today empowers local services to work with people to ensure they are being effectively supported when a medicine is no longer providing overall benefit.”
The NHS report drew particular attention to projects carried out in the county of Glouc-ester shire. One service, called Art on Prescription, was described as “a form of social prescription and is a non-clinical intervention delivered by art practitioners（从业人员） for therapeutic benefit”. Another, a course called Artlift, begins with “a personalized ‘What Matters To You’ conversation prior to the start of the program and (we) agree a personalized support plan and goals with each participant”. They all reported improvement in participants’ mental well-being.
Actually, as long ago as September 2018, then health secretary Matt Hancock said, “The evidence increasingly shows that activities like social clubs, art, ballroom dancing, and gardening can be more effective than medicines for some people and I want to see an increase in that sort of social prescribing.”
28. Why does activities such as art classes are recommended for patients in England?
A. Because they are more effective than medicines.
B. Because people in England prefer to attend art classes.
C. Because they can replace medication for patients in England.
D. Because they may help reduce the people’s dependence on certain drugs.
29. What can we learn from Tony Avery’s words?
A. Medicines can provide life-changing effects all the time.
B. We need to be cautious about the dangers of some medicines.
C. The framework published is greatly supported by the local people.
D. Local services can work with patients to provide them with overall benefit.
30. What do you know about the projects carried out in the county of Gloucester-shire?
A. The two projects were carried out in the rural areas of Gloucester-shire.
B. Art on Prescription was a clinical intervention delivered by art practitioners.
C. The patients’ mental health in the two projects were both reported to be improved.
D. A personalized “What Matters To You” conversation started after the start of the program Artlift.
31. What’s the purpose of the passage?
A. To persuade people to stop taking medicine.
B. To introduce a new kind of life-changing medicine.
C. To appeal to the government to organize more social activities.
D. To recommend a way to reduce patients’ dependence on prescribed drugs.
D
Building good transportation is a good idea. To have environmental value, new transportation has to sufficiently replace or eliminate driving to cut energy consumption overall. That means that a new traffic system has to be supported by reduction in car use. Traffic lanes should be eliminated or converted into bike or bus lanes. Ideally, these should be combined with higher fuel taxes, and parking fees. Needless to say, I have to struggle to make myself extensively understood. But they’re necessary, because you can’t make people drive less, in the long run, by taking steps that make driving more pleasant, economical, and productive.
Lengthy commuting (通勤) time is a forceful factor which can slow the growth of suburbs. The farther people live away from cities, the longer commuting time they need, which means more pollution their cars produce. If, in a misguided effort to do something of environmental value, governments take steps that make long-distance car commuting faster or more convenient—by adding lanes, building bypass, employing traffic-control measures that make it possible for existing roads to accommodate more cars with fewer delays—we are actually encouraging people to live still farther from their jobs, stores, and schools. As a result, governments are forced to further extend road networks, water lines, and other facilities. If you cut commuting time by 10 percent, people who now drive fifty miles each week to work can find reason to move five miles farther out, because their travel time won’t change.
Traffic congestion (拥堵) isn’t an environmental problem; traffic is. Relieving congestion without doing anything to reduce the total volume of cars can only make the real problem worse. Highway engineers have known for a long time that building new car lanes only temporarily reduces congestion, because the new lanes add additional driving. Widening roads makes traffic move faster in the short term, but the improved conditions eventually attract additional drivers, and congestion reappears. With more cars on the roads, people think about widening roads again. Moving drivers out of cars and into other forms of transportation can have the same effect, if existing traffic lanes are kept in service: road space stimulates road use.
One of the arguments that cities inevitably(不可避免地) make in promoting transportation plans is that the new system, by relieving automobile congestion, will improve the lives of those who continue to drive. No one ever promotes a transportation system by arguing that it would make travelling less convenient—even though, from an environmental perspective, inconvenient travel is a worthy goal.
32. In the first paragraph, the author gives us the hint that his recommendations are ______.
A. not widely supported B. costly to carry out
C. generally recognized D. temporarily beneficial
33．According to the passage, what will happen if commuting time for drivers is reduced?
A. Drivers will become more productive employees.
B. Mass transportation will be extended farther into suburban areas.
C. Drivers will be more willing to live farther from their working place.
D. Mass transportation will carry fewer passengers and receive less government funding.
34．Which of the following can be inferred about the author’s attitude towards the measures
to improve traffic?
A. They are environmentally beneficial and should be carried out immediately.
B. They are well intentioned but ultimately lead to environmental harm.
C. They will definitely arouse people’s awareness of environmental protection.
D. They will only work if they can make driving more economical and productive.
35. The author wrote this massage mainly to ______.
A. support the claim that efforts to reduce traffic actually increase traffic.
B. oppose the belief that improving mass transportation systems is good for the
environment.
C. provide a balance between suburban expansion and traffic congestion.
D. indicate that making driving less agreeable is a way to reduce negative effects of
traffic.

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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Does gardening leave you feeling happy and relaxed? Your brain might be telling you something! 36 With all the digging, lifting, watering, planting and moving, it is clear how gardening can have many physical benefits. But research shows that these benefits can also affect our minds as well!
In Japan, there is a growing trend called forest bathing, where people immerse themselves in the outdoors as a way to relax and improve concentration. Why has this caught on? 37 Studies have shown that forest bathing forces people to disconnect from distractions and be more mindful of their immediate surroundings. This can also happen while gardening. If you've ever weeded a garden bed, you will know that it requires a high degree of focus in order to identify unwanted plants. 38
Another important aspect of gardening is getting your hands dirty, and research show that this can improve your mental health. Scientists have discovered that the mycobacterium (分枝杆菌) found in soil can improve brain function. The micro bacteria found in the soil increases serotonin produced in the brain (also known as the “happy “chemical). 39
There's also the sentimental (情感的) attachment to your garden. Gardening takes effort and because of this, a natural responsibility for the survival of your plants starts to rise with you. Sometimes you see them from seed to plant. Other times you forget to water them and they die. 40 In addition, the hard work will provide you with delicious little vegetables.
A. Because it is effective.
B. Because you don't have a backyard.
C. You should look for areas to put planters.
D. By getting your hands dirty, you are also making your brain happy.
E. Gardening is a useful way of improving your physical and mental health.
F. By noticing the smallest details, you are also improving your concentration
G. Regardless, caring for something other than yourself can be satisfying and purposeful

“When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace.”
As we live through life, we tend to get caught up in our individual world, our problems — our life. When we 41 our world to include others in a meaningful way, by making a 42 difference in their life, we increase our experience at the same time.
Think back on a time when someone made a difference in your life.
Here is one of mine: I was going to college, working part-time, and just 43 getting by financially. Standing in line at a local supermarket, I 44 a woman in the same line, thinking that she was not very attractive. As I was 45 , I discovered that I did not have enough money to pay; without 46 , that same woman I had been judging offered to 47 the difference. It wasn’t 48 , but what that person did made a lasting impression on me. She was a beautiful, caring soul who was willing to help a stranger in a(an) 49 situation. That happened over forty years ago and I remember it as 50 as if it was yesterday.
Other examples are the numerous times I have had people smile at me, which 51 my day. I've often wondered if it was because I was smiling, which I 52 to do all the time, or because they were smiling to be 53 , which encouraged me to smile as well. It has probably been some of both. In 54 case, that simple gesture (a smile) makes a difference in my day.
There are 55 ways to make a significant difference in another's life. The question is: Are we doing it? It does not 56 anything, but it does require some effort on our part. I have found that as I do this consistently, the 57 go far beyond the energy required to do the deed. Looking for ways to brighten another person's day raises our vibration(共鸣),and when we act on it, we 58 the other person to raise their vibration as well — it is 59 to each other.
Make a difference in someone's life today, and 60 doing so every day. Today is a perfect time to start! If you are already doing so. bravo!

8. C 9. C 10. A 【原文】W: Hi, Mr. Smith. May I ask you a question? M: Of course. What can I do for you? W: I was wondering about our magazines. I know we have to order them in advance but I don’t know when the deadline is, how much they cost, or when to pick them up. M: I can give you all that information. You can pre-order your magazine, or you can just buy one when they come out. The pre-order deadline is in a week, and you just have to drop off your order form and check here. The magazine is $ 50. They’ll be out in 2 months, and you can pick yours up right here. W: So, I still have some time to decide whether or not to pre-order, right? M: Absolutely. But if you know you definitely want a magazine, I would recommend pre-ordering. That way, everything will be ready ahead of time.
11. B 12. A 13. B 【原文】M: Hi, Lisa, what are you doing? W: Watching a Japanese film. I’m going to spend all next year in Japan, and I think I should find out more about its culture. M: You mean you have been accepted into the program? W: I sure have. M: That’s wonderful. You must be excited. W: Excited and nervous. You know I have to work on some basic conversation skills. M: How much Japanese can you understand? W: Only a little now. But I’m going to take a special language class next month. M: I wish I were as clever as you are at foreign languages. I would love to study abroad. W: Then why don’t you? The school has a lot of programs that don’t require the knowledge of a foreign language. You just have to be the kind of person who is quick to learn new things and can get used to a new environment fast. M: I thought all programs required one to know a foreign language. Thank you for letting me know this.
14. B 15. C 16. B 17. C 【原文】W: So what are you going to do this summer? M: I’m going to visit South America. W: Great! M: I’m going to be travelling around quite a lot and I’ll probably spend three weeks there. W: So where are you going? M: To start off, I’m going to fly to Rio and perhaps I’ll stay there for a few days. W：Do you know anyone there? M: No, but I’ve always wanted to go to Rio. It’s quite a place of interest. And I’ll probably go up the Sugar Loaf Mountain. W: And where are you going after that? M: I’m going to fly to Santiago in Chile, where I’ve got some friends. We’ll probably spend some time doing some sightseeing and then we’re going to lie on the beach for a few days in Valparaiso, which is on the coast, not far away from Santiago. Then I’m flying to Lima where I’m going to meet my girlfriend. W: Then you’ll have a good time together. M: Yes. We’ll probably go somewhere else. I don’t know where yet, but I’d like to spend a week in the jungle. Then we’ll probably fly home. W: Well, have a nice time!
18. A 19. C 20. C 【原文】W: During the summer you should be even more careful than usual because food goes bad faster in hot weather than in cold weather. When you buy frozen and refrigerated foods, don’t make long stops on your way home because frozen foods could become soft or warm. Using bags helps keep food cold until you can get home. Milk and milk products should be refrigerated immediately. When camping or picnicking or at any time when refrigeration can’t be made use of, use special dry foods. Don’t leave food in a hot car. Picnic favorites like meat, chicken and eggs should be kept in a cooler box. Above all, if the food doesn’t seem to be normal in smell or appearance, throw it away immediately. Don’t taste it
