Around the world, there are hundreds of cities with brightly coloured streets and incredible graffiti that help to bring the streets alive. Here are some of the most colourful streets in the world to add to your list of places to visit.

EI Caminito, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Within the La Boca neighbourhood of Buenos Aires lies EI Caminito Street. This small but colourful street has rows of homes and businesses painted in every colour imaginable. And the pretty turquoise (青绿色) and yellow paths for walkers make the street even more beautiful. Home to cafes and shops, this street is typically a hot spot for tourists.

Rainbow Row, Charleston, America

Many people claim that if you don’t visit Rainbow Row then you haven’t really been to Charleston at all The row of 13 houses, painted in pretty pale soft colours including baby blue, soft pink, lemon yellow, and green, are private houses that date back to the 1700g, Just around the corner in the same neighbourhood, you’ll find small ice cream shops, coffee shops, and independently owned stores to do some window shopping for a fun girl’s getaway weekend. .

Old Town Colmar, France

One of the most colourful areas in France is Old Town Colmar, a little village often referred to as the Little Venice of France with a history of over 1,100 years. The canal running through the center of the village is surrounded by half-wood houses of different colours. The village takes special care of the flowers that line the canal, which add to its collection of shining colours.

Nyhavn, Copenhagen, Denmark

Rivera, 27, was jogging on a path next to Claiborne Parkway in Ashburn near the Dulles Greenway about 6 p.m. A 71-year-old woman from South Riding Was driving a Toyota SUV on the road. And a deer came from somewhere.

The SUV struck the deer, which sent the animal flying into Rivera, who remembers running one minute and then coming into an ambulance as a doctor told her she needed to cut away one of her favorite running shirts “because it had deer blood all over.” “That’s when I knew a deer was part of this,” Rivera said Saturday.

The deer died on the spot. The driver was treated at Inova Loudoun Hospital and recovered. Rivera, who was taken to the same hospital and recovered on Thursday evening.

Barely 5 feet tall, Rivera already had been jokingly nicknamed “The Hulk” by her friends, which means a giant person. “So, I guess now they can really call me that,” she said.

She had finished five miles Thursday in her orange running shoes and was on the final stretch toward her home in Ashburn when she was hit by the deer.

“I’d thought that the run would make me feel better after work,” said Rivera, an administrative analyst. She has been a runner for about five years and started taking part in marathons last year. She also leads runs for a Loudoun fitness club.

A female passer-by called 911 and used Rivera’s phone to dial numbers that reached Rivera’s boyfriend and her family. “I want to really thank her, whoever she was. And I am glad the driver is all right.”

Rivera said she runs on the path often and wilt again. So how will she retell this tale? It’s hard to know where to start. Maybe I was out for a run one day. No, actually I probably have to start with, this really strange thing happened to me once.”

4. What happened to Rivera when she was jogging on a path?

A. She was knocked down by a flying deer.

B. She ran into a Toyota SUV on the way to work.

C. She got help from a doctor just on her way home.

D. She came across an injured deer on the way to hospital.

5. Who got well again on Thursday evening?

6. What attitude did Rivera have to the female passer-by?

A. Sympathetic.   B. Angry.     C. Grateful.  D. Respectful.

7. What can we infer from the passage?

Time to load up some popular games: new research indicates pigs possess the mental capability to play video games. The study, published in Frontiers in Psychology, tested the ability of four pigs (Hamlet, Omelette, Ebony and Ivory) to play a simple joystick (操纵杆) game with their noses, moving a cursor (光标) to four targets on the screen. Although the animals didn’t demonstrate the skills to win a round any time, they did show an understanding of some elementary games. Performing well not by chance, the pigs appeared to recognize that the movement of the cursor was controlled by the joystick. The fact that they did so well despite a lack of flexible fingers is “extraordinary”, according to the researchers.

“It is no small achievement for an animal to grasp the concept that the behaviour they are performing is having an effect elsewhere. That pigs can do this to any degree should give us pause as to what else they are capable of learning and how such learning may impact them,” said Purdue University’s Dr. Candace Croney, the study’s lead author.

Researchers also noted that while the pigs could be taught to play the game with food as positive motivation, they also responded well to social interaction. In fact, when the game was made more challenging and the pigs became unwilling to participate in it, “only oral encouragement by the experimenter” would see training continue.

These findings are the latest to highlight the intelligence of pigs. Not only have they been shown to use mirrors to find hidden food, but studies have also demonstrated how pigs can be taught to “come” and “sit” after oral commands.

As with any sentient (有知觉能力的) beings, how we interact with pigs and what we do to them impacts and matters to them. We therefore have a moral duty to understand how pigs acquire information, and what they are capable of learning and remembering, because it ultimately offers the potential for how they understand their interactions with us and their environments.

8. What can be learned from Paragraph 1?

A. The pigs sometimes won the video games.

B. The pigs operated joysticks with their noses.

C. The pigs competed with each other in the games.

D. The pigs sometimes performed well accidentally.

9. Which of the following best explains the underlined phrase “give us pause” in paragraph 2?

A. Stop us from advancing.       B. Affect us in learning.

C. Make us think seriously.       D. Force us to train pigs better.

10. What made researchers believe pigs socially interacted well?

A. Their being inspired by human words.

B. Their being driven by food.

C. Their being willing to keep trying.

D Their being motivated by challenges.

11. Which of the following could be the best title?

A. Smart pigs: best animal players      B. Flexible noses: fun games

C. Oral commands: pig learners      D. Pig players: learning potential

D

Video conferencing has been around for more than 20 years. Until the COVID-19 pandemic, though, you would find that many people needing to attend a meeting remotely would be calling from a real conference room full of their teammates. Today, we’re routinely holding video conferences that are 100% virtual. And this is creating a problem that technology can’t fix.

The problem is us, specifically the fact that we haven’t evolved socially to the point where we can bear much separation. So much of our well-being and work productivity is decided on how close we are physically. The removal of that for any period of time can be severely damaging. One surprising victim of social distancing is laughter.

Normally people laugh about 18 times per day. And 97% of that time we’re laughing with others—we are 30 times more likely to laugh with others than to laugh alone. Think about it: how often when you and your friends laugh at something that is actually funny? Research shows that 80% of what people laugh at is really not that funny.

So why do people laugh? They laugh in order to laugh with others. Just as everyone starts yawning (打哈欠) when just one person yawns, most people can’t help but laugh when those around them do. This is why TV comedy shows often use prerecorded laugh tracks.

Laughing in response to other people’s laughing is not just a behavioral phenomenon. When we laugh, our body produces two key chemicals: endorphin which helps relieve pain and sets off feelings of pleasure, and dopamine which can improve learning, motivation and attention. In fact, studies show that people can stand 15% more pain simply by laughing for a few minutes beforehand. Laughter is also associated with higher motivation and productivity at work.

In today’s home-alone, virtual-team world, this is exactly what you as a team leader should be doing: for your team members to stay healthy and productive, you need to get them to laugh more and stress less.

12. What is the problem mentioned in the first two paragraphs?

A. A distant relationship.        B. Unexpected social evolution.

C. .Decreased laughter.        D. Removed social distance.

13. What can be inferred from the article?

A. Laughing alone is normal.       B. Laughing is for fun.

C. Laughing starts with yawning.      D. Laughing comes more in groups.

14. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?

A. The motivation behind laughter.     B. The chemicals regarding laughter.

C The types of laughter.        D. The significance of laughter.

15. What would the author most probably discuss next?

A. How to boost laughter.       B. How to better a team.

C How to reduce stress.        D. How to increase productivity.

第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）

阅读下列短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有两项为多余选项。

Supporting Others

We’re always being told that the secret to happiness lies in helping others. Indeed, it’s natural to want to support those we care about, especially if we are in a position to do so.    16    

When we offer support, it may not always be wanted.    17    In this case, offering support in the manner of “if I were you, I would…” can feel like a scolding rather than support. If our support feels conditional, it can feel burdensome.

    18    When someone is trying to manage illness or the house move, just saying, “How could I help you today?” can be amazingly supportive. Or, suggest what you can do for them: picking up the shopping, taking the dog for a walk. Even if it’s not needed, just knowing you’ve been thinking of others can be supportive in itself.

Try to be mindful of offering support that is disabling, rather than enabling. My son, when aged five, wanted to make a cup of tea. I could see how inspiring it was for him to be able to do this. So, I filled the kettle and took him through the safety measures. It felt like a huge risk but it worked. His pleasure was immeasurable. The same principle applies when we offer support that increases someone else’s capacity.    19    

Sometimes the only support that’s needed is to listen to them without judgment.    20    This reassures (使安心) them that someone cares enough to listen while they express themselves. When times are tough, remember to keep things stable. Waiting until the storm has passed is all it takes.

Support often works best when it’s a two-way process. It is good to know how to accept help from others as well as offer support to them.

A. Walk alongside your friend and make comments.

B. Come up with a couple of ideas for your friends.

C. Ask what support is needed and provide practical support.

D. This can often be a bigger gif than just doing it for them.

E. But we can do more by thinking about the support we can offer.

F. Sometimes people are trying to manage life in their own ways.

G. Just be there, while someone lets out his or her feelings.

And sometimes this can have a serious impact on their 32     . We should try our best to spare some time to    33    the elderly, whether they are our grandparents, neighbors or    34    a random elderly person.

How to Fix a Mistake

After many continuous days of steady downpour, the sun finally came out on a Sunday morning. My friend Allan and I decided to play catch in my yard. We were having fun throwing the ball back and forth.

“Run! Nice catch!” It had been days since we enjoyed ourselves. Then, I threw the ball too hard and Allan missed his catch. The ball flew like lightning, crossed the yard and hit my neighbor’s window. We heard the big sound. Crash! Smash! The window broke into many pieces.

Allan turned pale, and a look of panic crossed his face. He froze, too scared to move an inch. Without a second thought, I grabbed his hand, whispering, “Come with me!” We ran into my backyard and hid behind a stack of hay. It seemed to be a place of safety. However, my heart was still pounding hard, as if it were about to pop.

Mr. Jones, the neighbour, who was a seventy-year-old man, lived alone. Though he was poor, he was well loved in the neighborhood for he always helped those in need.

Obviously, he heard the big sound, too. He came out of his house, with a ball in his hands. It was exactly our ball! Did he recognize who the ball belonged to? With butterflies in my stomach, I breathed deeply. In the meantime, Mr. Jones looked around, trying to see who threw the ball. Of course, no one was outside. He gazed the window for a while, and then the ball. Finally, he went back into his house.

A few days later, I saw that Mr. Jones had repaired the broken glass. He was sitting outside. When he saw me, he waved at me. I felt ashamed as I waved back at him. 1 knew what 1 should do, but I was afraid to do it.

Later, my mom and I were talking and she told me about the broken window.                            

Mr. Jones looked at me after I explained what had happened.

Dear Sir or Madam.

I am Li Hua. a student in Class 8. Grade 3. From the WeChat public account of our school, I’ve learned that the school radio station needs an English broadcaster.

I’m looking forward to your early reply.

第二节（满分25分）

One possible version:

Later, my mom and I were talking and she told me about the broken window. “Poor Mr. Jones,” she sighed, “He’s such a nice guy. I can’t believe anyone would break his window and not stay around 10 apologize.” Hearing what my mom said, I pulled the hem of my clothes tightly, the blood rushing to my face. Catching sight of the embarrassment written in my burning face, she seemed to know everything. “Yes, it’s me." I confessed that 1 broke the window by accident, promising that I would go right over now and own up to my mistake. Then I plucked up the courage to knock on Mr. Jones’ door and decided to tell him what I had done.

Mr. Jones looked at me after I explained what had happened. He was not angry at all. On the contrary. a gentle smile danced around the corners of his mouth. Relieved but still ashamed. I apologized to him with sincerity and asked how much it cost to repair the window. I told him that I would save my money and pay back every penny of it. Patting me on the shoulder, Mr. Jones replied, “It’s not the money that matters.” He continued, “I was really hurt that someone would do that to me without stopping to apologize. Now that you have come and explained the accident, I feel good again." What Mr. Jones spoke out had a lasting influence on me, reminding me to be honest and fix every mistake I made.
