Shiri Magar grew up in a small village in the center of Israel and found that she has a love for singing and performing. She also has a love for volunteering and helping others. She has managed to combine both of these in her Good Deeds Diva vlog(视频博客).
Shiri followed a music track that led her to the Boston Conservatory and then back to Israel where she was accepted to the Meitar Opera Studio at the Israeli Opera, and sang main roles at the Israeli Opera as well as abroad. She achieved her dream to be a professional opera singer but realized that in this competitive field she didn't have time to continue to help others by volunteering and doing good, which brought her anxiety.
Fortunately, Shiri came up with a win-win solution—she started doing good deeds in the opera world. She began by giving hamsas (a Middle Eastern good luck symbol) to a competition she was participating in, which took place in Moscow, Russia, and giving them to all the other participants and wishing them all good luck. The reaction was very positive and it was contagious! The next day a woman gave everyone roses. Shiri said that instead of being singer against singer, they became colleagues and friends. That's when she launched Good Deeds Diva.
At first, her vlog was concentrated in just the opera community but then she expanded it because she wanted to make even bigger waves. Shiri's first goal is to promote self- kindness,something that is much needed in these times and the second is to promote good deeds in the creative community by spotlighting other performers, especially as the coronavirus pandemic has shut down live performances. The last goal is to increase awareness of environmental issues like pollution, global warming, and being kinder to the earth.
Now grounded in Tel Aviv, Shiri uses her Good Deeds Diva vlog to increase goodness, happiness, and ways to spread inner joy to people all over the world.
24.Why did Shiri feel anxious in the opera world
A．She had to face many competitors. B．She hardly had time to help others.
C．She suffered pressure as main roles. D．She found volunteering time consuming.
25.What did Shiri do to continue doing good deeds in Moscow
A．She helped participants stand out. B．She asked others to exchange gifts.
C．She taught others to make hamsas. D．She sent wishes to her competitors.
26．What does the underlined word “contagious” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Receiving positive reactions. B．Transporting diseases around.
C．Being competitive. D．Spreading among people.
27．What does paragraph 4 focus on about Shiri
A.Her ways to promote operas. B．Her goals of cut pollution.
C．Her aims of running her vlog. D．Her dreams about her singing.

Scientists and marine biologists(海洋生物学家) had something to celebrate last week when two lost humpback whales(座头鲸) returned to the Pacific Ocean. Delta and Dawn — a mother and a baby — had circled the Sacramento Bay area for two weeks before going back to the ocean.
＂We all shouted loudly like ‘Yay’!＂said Jim Oswald, a spokesman for the Marine Mammal Center. ＂It’s been really exciting.＂
The humpback whales were last spotted on May 29 near the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California. Scientists are sure that the whales swam into open water during the evening of May 29 or early the next morning, since there have been no further sightings of the whales. Even so, boats were sent out to look for them, just in case the whales made another wrong turn.
Officials spent two weeks trying to get the whales to turn back towards the ocean. Biologists played recordings of whale-feeding as well as unfamiliar sounds to try to make the whales head back to the Pacific Ocean.
However, Delta and Dawn gave scientists an unexpected chance to study humpback whales in the wild. Scientists were able to gather sound recordings and watch their behaviors. This is especially exciting because humpback whales are an endangered species. What’s more, scientists don’t usually have the chance to observe them in their natural habitat.
＂All those things are very hard to get,＂ said Oswald,＂So what we are doing is filling up the knowledge blank on humpback whales in the wild. ＂ Scientists should be able to use this information to help other lost whales in the future.
28. Jim Oswald was very happy because____________.
A. the whales traveled to Sacramento Bay B. he found the lost humpback whales
C. the scientists held a great celebration D. the whales returned to the Pacific Ocean
29. In order to make the whales go back to the ocean, the biologists____________.
A. fed them with other animals B. swam into open water
C. played music for them D. played strange sounds to them
30. The fifth paragraph mainly tells us that____________.
A. humpback whales will disappear in the future
B. humpback whales were excited in their natural habitat
C. scientists learned more about humpback whales
D. scientists are worried about humpback whales
31. What’s the best title for the passage
A. Looking for the Lost Whales B. Helping the Lost Whales
C. The Lost Whales Returned D. Two Whales Were Lost

The topic of China’s “slash youth”, referring to those refusing to be defined or bound by just one personal identity and choosing to undertake multiple careers, has fueled heated debate on social media, drawing attention to the various pursuits of the younger generation. On Douban, a Chinese social networking platform, the topic “slash life on and off work” has attracted about 11,000 posts and has been viewed over 400 million times.
The “slash youth”, which could also be called slashers or slash-generation, are ready to share their slash youth stories, presenting as multiple and sometimes distinct identities, such as a nurse and model, a teacher and stand-up comedian, and an engineer and band player. Rather than material comforts, they pursue meaningful achievement.
A various career can enable them to develop new experiences and talents as well as social and professional networks, leading to greater flexibility in life and work, recognition and satisfaction.
A study on “slash youth” published in the China Youth Research magazine analyzes the background of this phenomenon: with part of modern society’s structured organization and stability standards broken, flexible labor markets and structural unemployment has emerged, removing the sense of job security of the young people in employment. Young people also face the dilemma of self-actualization (自我实现), including the sense of powerlessness, lost sense of value and lack of self-identity in the profession, which forces them to re-find the meaning of work.
“The ‘slash life’ shows that, along with China’s economic development, our society is becoming more and more diversified and inclusive, and it welcomes everyone’s self-fulfillment,” said Shi Yanrong, an associate researcher from Tianjin Academy of Social Sciences. “Young people no longer have to rely on work and money for their sense of self-worth. They tend to create their own identities.” The researcher added that against the background that people have multiple interests and are willing to pay for these interests nowadays, the “slash life” of the youth would drive the growth of a new economy.
32. What do we know about the “slash youth”
A. They tend to undertake multiple careers.
B. They are keen to pursue material comforts.
C. They enjoy posting themselves on social media.
D. They can easily adjust themselves to challenges in life.
33. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The importance of flexible labor markets.
B. Reasons for the emergence of “slash youth”.
C. Young people’s pursuits in their profession.
D. Causes of losing self-identity among the youth.
34. What does Shi Yanrong think of the slash life
A. It makes youths realize their self-worth.
B. It helps increase people’s independence.
C. It inspires young people’s creativity at work.
D. It enables young people to earn high incomes.
35. What is the purpose of the text
A. To provide career guidance. B. To analyze a cultural difference.
C. To share a unique life experience. D. To introduce a social phenomenon.

One Second Every Day
I’ve been in advertising for eight years and used to work a lot of late nights and weekends for numerous projects. ____36____ One day I watched a talk called “The power of time off”. It’s about how every seven years, the speaker takes a year off from work so he can do his own creative projects. ____37____ I decided I had to do that. I need to take time to start my own creative ideas.
The first project ends up being something I call “One Second Every Day”. Basically I record one second of every day for the rest of my life, combining these moments into one single continuous video until I can’t record them anymore. ____38____ There’re many things I have no recollection of unless someone brings them up, and I think, “Oh, that’s something I did.”
____39____ On a good day, I’ll have maybe four seconds I want to choose. I’ll just have to narrow them down to one, but even narrow them down to that one allows me to remember the other three anyway.
I don’t use any filters (滤镜), just trying to catch the moment as much as possible as it is. I started a rule of the first person view. Early on, I thought I should have a couple of videos where people would see me, but I realized that wasn’t the way to go. ____40____
The project has many possibilities. I encourage you all to record just a small piece of your life every day, so you can never forget that day and treasure every moment.
A. It instantly inspired me.
B. The purpose is to remember what I’ve done.
C. I’m always energetic when doing things I love.
D. People might have different interpretations of it.
E. It’s difficult, sometimes, to pick that one second.
F. But I never had time for one I wanted to work on on my own.
G. The essence of my project should be recording the thing as I actually see it.

"I don't want to see that cat in our yard again, " my husband said as he drove the beautiful cat back into the neighbour's yard. “Cats aren't like dogs, honey. They are very independent and tend to move around wherever they please, especially if they are mousing," I said. "Well, text our neighbour and let her know I don't appreciate her cat in our yard, he insisted. Sighing, I sent off a quick text to our sweet neighbour, Cheryl, informing her of my husband's dislike of cats. "I'll do my best," she replied sometime later, "but it's kind of hard controling where she goes when I let her outside." The following morning, John stood at the picture window in our bedroom. He'd installed it so that I could watch the birds visiting our feeders.
"You aren't going to believe this," he said. "Come look!" Slowly, I approached the window, praying Cheryl's cat wasn't in our yard. "Oh, my dear!" I cried. Seated side by side, right in the centre of our yard, were two enormous groundhogs(土拨鼠). We'd observed groundhogs before, especially since our backyard backs up to a wooded area, but never, had they been as brave as these two. John raised the window, and the two raced into the woods. That evening, I happened to glance out the picture window. Then something caught my eye in the flowerbed beyond. "John, come quick! Hurriedly, he entered the bedroom just in time to see one of the groundhogs chewing on the flowers we'd planted around the water fountain. "Why, it's eating every single blossom!"
Again, John lifted the window, and the groundhog fled into the woods. "Hmmm, I'd better look up groundhogs on the computer and see just how to deal with them. Before he left the room, he saw a groundhog was chewing our vegetables in the centre of the garden. Across the yard, we'd planted a vegetable garden. We'd taken great pains to enclose the rows and rows of plants in chicken wire.
Paragraph 1:
"Something's got to be done!" John shouted.__________________________________
Paragraph 2:
I couldn't help smiling to myself as I went to search for my cell phone._____________

(Text 2)
W: Can I follow you through the forest
M: Yes, but change out of that T-shirt. The temperature in there can be very low, so you need something better than that.

W: A house warming party
M: Yes, we are going to buy a new home in Woodlawn.
W: Congratulations!

W: Don’t you have to wait a long time when getting a taxi
M: No way. These days they come so fast. The last time I had to wait more than 10 minutes was over a month ago.

W: Did you know it is more common for young people to take taxis and public transportation than to own a car.
M: I saw that this morning in the newspaper as well.
W: I guess it’s because income levels have really dropped since the last decade. Can you imagine taking a bus everywhere
M: Traffic has gotten so bad in the city. Since last year, it’s been nearly impossible to park anywhere. That must have led to the fact that nobody is buying cars. Also, people can order taxis on their phones now-it’s so convenient.
W: But when you are driving, you feel so free. There are so many places a bus can’t take you to.
M: Well, I haven’t had a car for six months till now and have never looked back. Getting around has not gotten any harder, either by bus or taxi.

本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲的是作者从事广告行业8年了，加班熬夜做了无数项目，但他一直没有时间做自己真正想做的个人项目。有一天他受到一个演讲的启发，开始自己的项目“每天一秒钟”来记录每一天的生活。
【36题详解】根据上文的“I’ve been in advertising for eight years and used to work a lot of late nights and weekends for numerous projects.(我在广告业干了8年，曾经为了很多项目工作到深夜和周末)”和下文的“I need to take time to start my own creative ideas.(我需要时间来开始我自己的创意)”可知，作者在工作中加班熬夜做了无数项目，看到一个演讲后决定开始做属于自己的项目，故空处内容应与没有做过个人想做的项目有关。F项“But I never had time for one I wanted to work on on my own.(但我从来没有时间做一个我想自己做的项目)”与上文构成转折，选项中的one表示“one project”，因此F选项承上启下，符合语境。故选F。
【37题详解】上文“One day I watched a talk called “The power of time off”. It’s about how every seven years, the speaker takes a year off from work so he can do his own creative projects.(有一天，我看了一个名为“休息时间的力量”的演讲。这是关于每七年，演讲者如何从工作中请假一年，这样他就可以做自己的创意项目)”提到作者看到一个演讲，介绍了演讲者每过七年，就拿出一年时间来做自己的富有创造力的项目，下文“I decided I had to do that. I need to take time to start my own creative ideas.(我决定我必须这么做。我需要时间来开始我自己的创意)”讲到作者决定也要这么做，开始自己的富有创造力的想法，说明这个演讲启发了作者，A项“It instantly inspired me.(它立刻启发了我)”中的It指代前面的那个演讲，说明了那个演讲启发了作者，因此承上启下，符合语境。故选A。
【38题详解】上文“Basically I record one second of every day for the rest of my life, combining these moments into one single continuous video until I can’t record them anymore.(基本上，在我的余生中，我每天都会录下一秒钟，把这些时刻组合成一个连续的视频，直到我再也录不下来。)”提到作者每天录一秒钟的视频，将这些一秒钟的视频拼接成一段连续的视频，直到他没有能力再录制为止，下文“There’re many things I have no recollection of unless someone brings them up(有很多事我都不记得了，除非有人提起)”讲到有很多作者之前做过的事情，他都想不起来了，故空处内容应仍与作者录制视频有关，且涉及记住过去的事。B项“The purpose is to remember what I’ve done.(目的是帮助我记住做过的事)”说明了这个项目帮助作者记住做过的事情，因此承上启下，符合语境。故选B。
【39题详解】下文“On a good day, I’ll have maybe four seconds I want to choose. I’ll just have to narrow them down to one, but even narrow them down to that one allows me to remember the other three anyway.(在美好的一天，我大概有四秒钟的时间可以选择。我只需要把它们缩小到一个，但即使缩小到一个也能让我记住其他三个)”讲到在美好的一天里，作者想要多录制三秒钟，他只是把它们压缩到一秒钟，但是即使压缩到了只有一秒钟，也足以让他记住其他三秒钟，说明作者有时只能选择一秒钟，E项“It’s difficult, sometimes, to pick that one second.(有时候只能选择一秒钟很难)”是对下文内容的总结，说明只能选择一秒很难，因此引起下文，符合语境。故选E。
【40题详解】空前说“I don’t use any filters (滤镜), just trying to catch the moment as much as possible as it is. I started a rule of the first person view. Early on, I thought I should have a couple of videos where people would see me, but I realized that wasn’t the way to go.(我没有使用任何滤镜，只是尽可能地捕捉那一刻。我开始了第一人称视角的规则。早些时候，我想我应该有几个视频，让人们看到我，但我意识到这不是我要走的路)”，说明这不是作者想要的，因此空格处应该说作者真正想要的是什么，G项“The essence of my project should be recording the thing as I actually see it.(我的项目的本质应该是记录我实际看到的东西)”说明了作者的项目的本质，因此承接上文，符合语境。故选G。
