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
Boracay, Philippines
Boracay is a tiny island and its main attraction is “White Beach”, a perfect postcard white sand beach surrounded by palm trees, dive shops, bars and restaurants. Our favourite seat to enjoy the sunset is “Diniwid Beach” located to the north of White Beach. After the perfect sunset, choose a bar to enjoy live music and party all night long.
Santorini, Greece
Santorini offers a unique landscape of beaches in exotic（异国的）colors of black, red, and white, a product of volcanic sand. Imagine swimming in the warm mythic Aegean sea, with volcano and sunsets as a backdrop. The island architecture is very distinctive, churches are built into caves and the whitewashed houses,
blue-domed churches and paved paths are astonishingly beautiful.
Lofoten Island, Norway
The Lofoten Islands are a spectacular sight indeed. With deep fjords（峡湾）
and splendid mountains, this is a wilderness unequalled in its beauty, where giant
sea eagles soar. Milder in climate than their position suggests, visitors are attracted to the islands to experience the Northern Lights and Midnight Sun.
Saint John Island, Caribbean
Life moves at a slower pace here. It is a place where wildlife abounds （大量
存在） and all is at peace. The National Park dominates here, covering more than half of the island. It is just nine miles from one end to the other and with countless bird species to spot and dolphins in the warm Caribbean waters, it’s no surprise that this is a destination that draws nature lovers. This is a place to rest and relax.

Robbie Gay is a young boy with a kind heart. He had a horrible start to life, hospitalized twice with brain injuries before entering the foster 寄养）care system. When he was finally adopted by his parents, he was so hurt by his experiences that he was unable to cry.
However, he found therapy（治疗）in a most unlikely place—his local animal shelter. There he took comfort in caring for the older dogs who’d been left behind. “People don’t want older dogs. They only want puppies,” Robbie explained. His ability to empathize（移情）with the older dogs obviously comes from his own shocking experience, as his mom shared, “He knows what it’s like not to be loved and cared for.”
Now in a safe and loving home, he’s able to open his heart completely to these unfortunate dogs and practice compassion. It was this kindness that led him to find his tears again when one of his foster dogs died.
One of the difficulties in caring for the older dogs is that many don’t stay alive
for long. But Robbie insists on staying with them right up until they pass away, as he quite rightly says, “I don’t think of when they’re going, I think of how they feel right now.”
Robbie is unusual in that he not only wants to care for aging dogs, he also
hopes to foster children when he grows up. He truly shows compassion and understanding, even if it leaves him heartbroken when his four-legged friends depart too soon. Hopefully, Robbie will continue to care for others, through his beautiful heart, continue to heal and feel loved with his wonderful furry family and the human one!
What made Robbie care for older dogs in his local animal shelter
A. His childhood dream. B. His studying background.
C. His early experience. D. His family’s encouragement.
Which of the following can best describe Robbie
A. Generous and caring. B. Confident and creative.
C. Energetic and active. D. Ambitious and considerate.
What does Robbie care most while looking after the old dogs
A. Where they came from. B. When they will pass away.
C. Why they were left behind. D. How they feel at the moment.
What is the best title for the text
A. A Boy Suffering a lot B. A Boy with a Terrible Life
C. A Boy Finding His Tears D. A Boy Caring for Older Dogs
C

Student scientists from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras recently demonstrated the power of combining hardware with artificial intelligence by developing a water assessment device. The team won the $ 200,000 top prize at IBM’s Global Call For Code Challenge for 2021 for their innovative technology.
Developed by the team that calls itself “Saaf Water,” the device has a lot of
uses. The low-cost device could help save millions of lives in India if deployed on the large-scale. It not only senses decontaminated（净化）water but also provides a comprehensive summary of the water quality while suggesting purifying methods.
Using IBM Cloud and IBM Watson, the students developed the tech to especially cater to rural areas in India. Saaf Water was in theory when one of the developer, Hrishikesh Bhandari’s mother fell ill due to unknown consumption of contaminated water, which came from a public ground water source.
“When we came back to Goa, her treatment was going on and the doctor said
it’s due to a very rare disease caused due to polluted water,” Bhandari told Indiatimes. Three months into her treatment, Bhandari and her teammates decided to develop Saaf Water in hopes of preventing such kind of disasters.
Saaf Water timely monitors the water and informs the community in real time.
In addition, Saaf Water also suggests purification（净化）methods that may be best for different locations and geographies.
Saaf Water’s goal is simple and straightforward. With their breathtaking
machine, they give local communities the power to save lives. The data is studied in real time by Saaf Water, which does analysis of the contamination.
What does the underlined word “innovative” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Strange. B. Contradictory. C. Fashionable. D. original.
How does the device work
It purifies drinking water directly.
It separates dirty from clean water.
It makes clean water from used water.
It monitors the water and offers purification ways.
What is Saaf Water’s aim to develop the device
To finish an academic task.
To help secure lives in local communities.
To collect money for the poor.
To raise people’s awareness of water safety.
Where is the text most likely from
A. A diary. B. A novel. C. A magazine. D. A notebook.

Men and The Art of Listening
The world today is moving at a so high pace that we rarely stop to listen to each other. We’ve all been in conversations with someone who we felt wasn’t
listening. They may keep looking at their watch or at other people around them.
They nod and say yes — but we feel like a stranger talking to a wall. 36 . It’s
even more of an issue for us as men when it comes to how we relate to one another.
To listen is to love.
Allowing someone to open up and share their life with us communicates the
simple truth: you matter and I care about your life. 37 . Being humble listeners
does not mean that our opinions or advice aren’t valuable. But it does mean that regularly demonstrating the simple art of listening is part of doing everything in love.
38 .
When we are with someone who is processing something difficult, to listen with compassion can often look like listening without feeling pressed to solve or
advise. It comforts the one who is talking in a silent way. Women tend to be better
at this form of listening. They can talk for hours and not necessarily be focused on
sharing information. 39 .
To listen is to be needed deep down.
40 . It may look like getting something off your chest, or saying what you
really think without fear of judgment or remarks. But we need friends we can complain to and confide in. And we need to be that friend to others, offering a compassionate, reliable ear.
Listening with compassion.
To listen, therefore, is to love another.
To listen is to support some else quietly.
Instead, they are letting out everything in mind.
Listening is a skill badly missing in today’s world.
We need to be able to talk freely with a friend and know we’ve been heard.
We depend on it that someone may lend a hand if we are really in desperate trouble.

Autumn Equinox （秋分） lies at the midpoint of autumn, 61 （divide）
autumn into two equal parts. After that day, the location of direct sunlight moves to
the south, making days shorter and nights 62 (long) in the northern
hemisphere (半球). Autumn Equinox begins this year on Sept 23 and ends on Oct
7.
By Autumn Equinox, most of the areas in China 63 （enter） the cool
autumn. The cold air heading south meets the warm and wet air. The temperature
also drops 64 （frequent）.
In South China, there is a custom 65 （know）as “having Qiucai on the
Autumn Equinox day.” Qiucai is a kind of wild amaranth. Every Autumn Equinox
day, all the 66 （villager） go to pick Qiucai in the wild, which grows in the

on the Autumn Equinox, the day and night 69 （be） of equal time. The
earth’s axis （轴线） is in a relative balance of power with the earth’s orbit around the sun. Thus it is a very conducive time to do that. But some also say that standing the egg has nothing to do with the time. The most important thing is to shift the
egg’s center of gravity to 70 lowest part of the egg. The trick is holding the
egg until the yolk sinks as much as possible.

One possible vision Dear Editor,
With the World Health Day approaching, I’m writing to share my
recommendations of its celebration. As we all know, health is essential in our daily life. Still, there are tens of thousands of people suffering from diseases. To raise the awareness and knowledge of the problems and causes behind it, from my point of view, we can hold some kinds of activities to celebrate it. First, we can hold an English speech contest to have students share their opinions and thoughts on this problem. Besides, a health show can also be hosted to deepen our love for our health. What’s more, an medical care exhibition can inform us of the latest knowledge about health and inspire us to care for our body and health.
Yours,
Li Hua
