阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。
A
The world awaits. Where will you go next The following are among the most exciting destinations to visit. Grab your bags and go!
Puebla, Mexico
Founded in 1931, the Mexico's fourth-largest city is a stronghold of Baroque architecture. In Puebla’s citycenter, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, there are a large number of gorgeous 17th- and 18th-century Baroque buildings. Many are decorated with colored titles, the use of which illustrates the combination of Puebla's local and European colonial styles. In 2017, an earthquake shook the area, leading to restorations of facilities throughout the city afterward. Despite that, Puebla remains rooted in tradition.
Tel , Czech Republic
The storybook town was probably founded in the mid-14th century. Stone walls and a system of man-madeponds help protect Tel historic town center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The triangular market square is bordered by a rainbow of light-colored houses, which were originally built of wood and rebuilt in stone after a fire in the late 14th century.
G bekli Tepe, Turkey
Estimated to date back to the 10th-9th millennia B.C.E, the monumental limestone pillars at G bekli Tepe had been hiding in plain sight for several thousand years. The detailed exploration of these giant stones only began in the 1990s. What have been revealed—primarily massive stones decorated with bas-reliefs(浅浮雕) of animal—comprise the world’s oldest known temple complex. The extraordinary discoveries made here have rewritten the story of how the first civilizations began.
Guatemala
Archaeologists have found long-hidden ruins of an extensive pre-Columbian civilization here, confirming that Guatemala is the place to dive into Mayan culture, then and now. Ancient roots run particularly deep in the northernmost Peten region. In modern, multicultural Guatemala, people with Mayan origin make up about half the population, making the country the only one in Central America with a native cultural majority.
21. Where can tourists enjoy architecture exhibiting a combination of native and foreign styles
A. Guatemala. B. G bekli Tepe, Turkey.
C. Puebla, Mexico. D. Tel , Czech Republic.
22. What has made Guatemala special
A. The long-hidden ruins.
B. The deeply rooted Mayan culture.
C. The modern and multicultural society.
D. The only Central American country with Mayan population.
23.According to the text, what do the above destinations have in common
A. They have historic sites. B. They are in Central America.
C. They were once destroyed by fire. D. They were discovered in recent decades.
B
One of the earliest forms of writing which is still being used today is Chinese characters, or hanzi. The image that many people have of Chinese characters is that they are all pictograms, but this is far from the case because pictograms have very limited use. Simple pictograms might be practical, for example, if one is making a shopping list of items to buy at the store, but they are fairly useless if one is writing something more complex or abstract. So it is a mistake to assume that written Chinese is a “picture language”．
Besides pictograms, there are simple ideograms. These are characters which provide an abstract picture of an idea, but in an often easily recognizable form. For example, “up” is “上” while “down” is “下”. While the meanings of many ideograms are not this easy to work out, they tend to be simple, easy-to-remember characters which are commonly used.
Next we have a common category of hanzi: compound characters. These are where elements of two or more characters are combined in one character for a new meaning. Some of these are easy to understand. In many cases, however, the meanings of compound characters are more difficult to work out.
Phonetic loan characters are the characters which started out as pictograms. However, they were often used to mean other words that had the same pronunciation. A good example of this is “目”. While it can be used in modern Chinese with the meaning “eye”, it is most often used to mean “an item on a list”. The reason was that Chinese had a word for “an item on a list” but lacked a character for it, so the word took the character “目”, a character with the same pronunciation.
A final category of Chinese characters is by far the most common. These are phonetic-semantic characters. With phonetic-semantic characters, one element of each character gives a clue to the pronunciation, while the other gives a clue to the meaning.
Over the centuries, Chinese characters have continually been developed, with a trend towards the simple and more abstract. It was thought that the complexity of some Chinese characters was keeping people from being able to learn them. Thus, during the 1950s and 1960s, the Chinese government rolled out simplified Chinese characters.
24. Why are pictograms sometimes not practical for use in a writing system
A. They are only available for shopping.
B. They are too complex for people to learn.
C. They cannot convey abstract ideas very well.
D. They are quite complicated and difficult to write.
25. What do we know about compound characters according to the passage
A. They are drawings of objects used in a writing system.
B. They are characters which use elements of two or more characters.
C. They are characters used in a writing system to convey abstract concepts.
D. They are characters which give clues to both the meaning and pronunciation.
26.Which of the following categories does the character “模” belong to
A. Pictograms. B. Phonetic loan characters. C. ldeograms. D. Phonetic-semantic characters.
27.What would be the benefit of simplifying Chinese characters according to the passage
A. Creating a standard character set for China.
B. Visualizing the image of Chinese characters.
C. Popularizing the use of Chinese characters.
D. Reproducing a high-grade character for calligraphy.
C
Students at the Calhoun School in New York City have much more than a roof over their heads. They have a rooftop garden, with lush grass, colorful flowers and fragrant herbs. “Green roofs” are sprouting up all over, from schools to city skyscrapers. And roofs aren’t the only things going green. Architects are finding all sorts of new ways to build buildings that are easier on the environment. These schools, homes, and offices are called “green buildings”.
Normally it takes a lot of energy to run appliances. Too often, that energy comes from burning fossil fuels. So green buildings are designed to do all these things with much less energy. An energy-smart building starts with thick walls. A layer of insulation(隔热材料) traps air to stop heat from passing through. That keeps heat inside in the winter, and keeps heat outside in the summer. This saves energy for heating and cooling.
Heat pumps are another power-saving way to stay comfortable. A ground heat pump moves heat through pipes that run through the ground next to the building. A few feet under the ground, the temperature stays around 10℃ all year round. Water flowing around the pipes helps heat the building in winter and cool it in summer.
Another way to build green is to use recycled materials. That saves the cost and pollution of manufacturing something new. In the Chicago Center for Green Technology, the ceiling tiles(瓷砖) are made of pressed newspaper. The bathroom floors are tiled with recycled glass, and the stall walls are recycled plastic. Builders have found many creative ways to re-use old materials.
As more people become concerned about climate change, more buildings are going green. Green buildings produce less of the gases that warm the planet. City planners like green buildings because they save money. And they are healthier for the people who work and live inside. But you don’t need to build a whole new building. Simple changes like shading windows and planting trees can make any home greener—and a better Earth home for us all.
28.How are green buildings designed to keep warm in the winter
A. By-burning fossil fuels. B. By using thick walls with insulators.
C. By running heating devices. D. By equipping buildings with appliances.
29.According to the passage, the advantages of green buildings include the following EXCEPT__.
A. saving water B. using recycled materials
C. using less energy D. reducing greenhouse gas emissions
30. In which section of a magazine can we read the text
A. Education. B. Culture. C. Economy. D. Technology.
31. Which of the following might be the best title for the text
A. Recycling: to make a better earth for us all
B. Heat Pumps: a new approach to saving energy
C. Green Roofs: more than a roof over our heads
D. Building Green: to hug the earth more kindly
D
The rate of childhood obesity in the U. S. has tripled over the past 50 years. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) made waves this year by recommending that doctors put obese kids as young as two years old on intensive, family-oriented lifestyle and behavior plans. It also suggested prescribing weight-loss drugs to childrenl2 and older and surgery to teens 13 and older. This advice reflects the organization’s adoption of a more active position on childhood obesity.
Yet the lifestyle programs the AAP recommends are expensive, inaccessible to most children and hard to maintain. Few weight-loss drugs have been approved for children. And surgery has potential risks and few long-term safety data. Furthermore, it’s not clear whether interventions in youngsters help to improve health or merely add to the psychological burden overweight kids face from the society.
Rather than paying close attention to numbers on a scale, the U. S. and countries with similar trends should focus on an underlying truth: we need to invest in more and safer places for children to play where they can move and run around, climb and jump, ride and skate.
Why is it so hard to get kids moving Experts blame the problem on the privatization of sports—as public investment in school-based athletics dwindles, expensive private leagues have grown, leaving many kids out. In addition to fewer opportunities at school, researchers cite increased screen time and a lack of safe places for them to play outside the home. New York City, for example, had 2,067 public playgrounds as of 2019—a very small amount for its large population. In Los Angeles in 2015, only 33 percent of youths lived within walking distance of a park.
Kids everywhere need more places to play. Public funding to build and keep up these areas is crucial, but other options such as shared-use agreements can make unused spaces available to the public. These opportunities aren’t primarily about changing children's waistlines—they’re how we keep childhood healthy and fun.
32. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A. Childhood obesity is well under control in recent years.
B. Weight-loss surgery are recommended to children 12 and older.
C.AAP plays a more active role in fighting against childhood obesity.
D. Expensive as it is, lifestyle programs are practical for most children.
33.The underlined word “dwindle” is closest in meaning to ______.
A. decline B. quit. C. increase D. develop
34. In the author’s opinion, what measures should be taken to create more safe areas
A. Prepare fitness equipment at home.
B. Live within walking distance of a park.
C. Promote investment in private athletics.
D. Open up playgrounds when school's out.
35. What's the main idea of the text
A. Sports play an important role in children's growth.
B. More safe areas for outdoor fun are in urgent need.
C. Family-oriented lifestyles are crucial to children's health.
D. Medical intervention is important to ease psychological burden.

On many occasions, we have our handphones right next to the served food, and our eyes are busy with the world within these tiny devices. Such actions seem to be the perfect recipe for an overworked brain.

There once was a stray dog (流浪狗) named Rufus who was the most amazing dog on Kumquat Street. He could hear a ladybug blowing its nose. He could see a pill bug eating a black licorice candy at midnight. Rufus could even smell a caterpillar that hadn’t washed its feet.
You would think that Rufus, being so amazing, was also happy. But he wasn’t. You see, there was one thing that kept Rufus from being adopted by his favorite human. And that was ...Rufus barked backward. Here’s what he sounded like: “Wob-wow! Wob-wow! Fra-fra-fra! Krab-krab!”
Rufus could stand being laughed at by every squirrel and cat in the neighborhood. What he couldn't stand was that his bark kept him from living with Janie Johnson.
Janie never laughed at Rufus when he barked. More than anything else, Rufus wanted to be her pet. He wanted to play catch in her yard every day and sleep at the foot of her bed each night.
But Janie’s father, Mr. Johnson, wouldn’t hear of it. “What A dog that barks backward Wed be the laughingstocks of Kumquat Street! we Johnsons didn't get where we are today by adopting dogs that bark backward. No, Janie. It’s out of the question.”
“I’m sorry,” Janie told Rufus one morning as they sat on her front porch. “I keep telling Daddy how great you are. He just won’t listen.”
“Krab-krab!” said Rufus.
“Yes, sometimes he is bad-tempered,” said Janie “I’ll keep trying, though. Don’t worry.”
But Rufus did worry. That evening he talked it over with his friend Bill Bulldog. “I don’t think Mr Johnson will ever like me,” Rufus said. “As long as l bar k backward, he’ll never let me live in his home.”
“Have you tried treatment ” asked Bill.
Rufus said, “I’ve tried everything. Nothing helps. It’s just the way I bark.”
“You’re a great dog Roof. Anyone can see that,” said Bill. “It just takes some humans longer to figure it out, that’s all. Hey, want to go with me to Succotash Street I’ve heard that their garbage is fantastic.”
Rufus yawned. “No, thanks,” he said. “I’ll take a nap.”
When Rufus woke up, it was late afternoon. As he was lying there, his sharp ears heard Mr. Johnson saying, “It’s almost suppertime. ls Janie still roller-skating We Johnsons didn’t get where we are today by being late for supper.” 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华 QQ:771515126

Rufus ran down Kumquat Street to look for Janie. He listened for the clickety-click of Janie’s skates. He sniffed for her special bubble-gum-and-peaches scent. He looked for her sky-blue helmet. But he didn’t hear, smell, or see her anywhere. Rufus started baking as loud as he could. “Wob-wow! Wob-wow! Fra-fra-fra! Krab-krab!” A squirrel giggled in a tree, “I’ve never heard anything so silly in my life!” “You don’t even sound like a dog!”, yowled a cat. Rusfus ignored them all and kept on barking. Soon all you heard in the neighborhood was his bark. Suddenly, Janie skated up to Rufus. “Oh, Rufus, I knew I heard you!” cried Janie.
At the sight of Janie and Rufus, Mr. Johnson ran up. “Janie,” he said. “Where on earth have you been ” Janie explained, “I took wrong turn and got lost, Daddy! Then all of a sudden, I heard ‘Wob-wow, fra-fra-fra.’ It was Rufus! I knew if I followed the sound of his bark, I’d find my way back home.” Mr. Johnson knelt in front of Rufus and held out his hand. “Rufus, I owe you an apology,” he said. “We Johnsons didn’t get where we are today by not admitting when we’re wrong. I’d like to shake your paw and invite you to come live with us.” Rufus happily gave Mr. Johnson his paw and licked his cheek. “We Johnsons didn’t get where we are today by letting dogs lick us on the cheek.” said Mr. Johnson. “Hmph! Well, I guess that wasn’t so bad!”

M: So, how was your skiing trip
W: Well, I’d never done this before, so I wasn’t taken to the ski run immediately. But our instructor was brilliant—I improved quickly.
M: Great.
W: Anyway, he finally took us down a run for advanced skiers. I was pretty confident and managing to keep control, but then I started heading for a tree ...
M: Oh, no.
W: I know. The only way I could stop was to fall over in the snow.
M: You could’ve been badly hurt doing that. I mean, it’s hard to believe that the instructor would’ve let you loose like that, knowing you’d only just started to learn to ski. In your position, I’d have refused to even try it.

W: No problem. It’s already at the top of our agenda. We want to encourage using technology to communicate with overseas scholars rather than expensive traveling. Anything else
M: Well, I hope I’m not asking too much, but can I get a new chair This one is really uncomfortable.
W: I think that’s an old chair. Sorry about that. Is there a specific kind you want, like a folding chair or a rocking one
M: I just like one that rises up and down and has arms.
W: Sure, I got it. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华 QQ:771515126

M: Helen, when is your brother Jerry getting into town I haven’t seen him for ages.
W: This Thursday, I will pick him up around 8:00 pm.
M: Are you going to do anything together that night
W: No. I think he’ll be too tired and will probably just want to go to bed early.
M: That’s true. It’s a long flight from Sanya. How long is he going to stay
W: Only till Monday. Then he goes to Nanjing to see our parents.
M: Do you have any special plans for Friday
W: You bet. He can relax in the apartment on Friday morning. And then in the afternoon, we are going to the forest park with some friends to have a picnic.
M: And then in the evening
W: I have booked a table in Domingos, that Mexican restaurant. Do you know it
M: Yeah. One of the waiters I know told me it is extremely difficult to book a table there.
W: Not if you call them early enough, say, a month earlier.
M: What about Saturday W: We are going to Shanghai Museum.
M: So I’m meeting you guys on Saturday evening at 8 o’clock.
W: Oh, yes, the party is at Claire’s house.
M: All right.

W: Did you do anything special on Saturday
M: I spent the whole morning driving around to yard sales.
W: Yard sales I seem to have seen the signs that say ‘Yard Sale’ along the street.
M: Very popular here. People often take out the things they don’t need any more and sell them in their yards.
W: I like this idea. What did you buy
M: I got some real treasures: a toy train, a pretty new tablet, and a fridge.
W: Wow! What else was on sale
M: Practically anything. Clothes, household items... My friend bought a silver ring!
W: Sounds like fun. What times are the sales
M: Usually on Saturdays and Sundays, from around 7 am until 2 or 3 pm.
W: That’s pretty early for shopping.
M: It is. But you have to be an early bird to get good stuff.
W: I’ll have to set my alarm early then.
M: It’ll be worth it if you find some good buys.
W: I’d like to have a try. I’ll watch for the signs on the lamp posts.
M: I’ll look in newspapers this Friday. If I see any good sale ads for this weekend, I’ll let you know.
W: Great! Thanks. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华 QQ:771515126

W: National Hugging Day started on January 21, 1986. The Reverend Kevin Zaborney from the USA created the event to promote the emotional benefits of hugging. There is a lot of research that shows hugging is good for us. Dr. Jay Gordon wrote a book called ‘Brighter Baby’, which said hugging a child every day may enhance a child’s intellectual development. Unlike kissing, hugging is acceptable in most societies. It can be a form of greeting between friends, a way of celebrating a victory, or a way of showing your support for someone. Hugging also takes place in the animal world. We even see the Teletubbies TV characters showing off their hugging skills as they give each other a “big hug”.
