阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A hospitality college in Bali, Indonesia, has begun accepting coconuts (椰子) as tuition payment as students face economic hardship as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
When students at the Venus One Tourism Academy pay their fees with coconuts, the college will use them to harvest virgin coconut oil, UPI reported.
Alternatively, students can pay using leaves from moringa (辣木) and gotu kola plants (积雪草), which can be converted into herbal soap and sold to raise money for the academy, Food & Wine added.
The program has been running since March, after the college received a permit to allow it to operate on this basis, according to The Bali Sun.
Venus One Tourism Academy’s director, Wayan Pasek Adi Putra, told local news outlet Balipuspa News: “Initially, the tuition payment scheme was paid in installments three times, with the first installment at 50%, the second 20%, and the third 30%. Because of this Covid pandemic, we have adapted a flexible policy. We produce virgin coconut oil, so students can pay their tuition by bringing coconuts.”
He added: “We have to educate them to optimize the natural resources in their surroundings. When the pandemic is over, they will enter the world of hospitality with different skills.”
Bali is a major international tourist destination but in August, the Balinese government closed the island to non-Indonesian visitors until 2021, BBC News reported.
21．Why did the hospitality college accept coconuts as tuition payment

B．Because some students face financial trouble as a result of corona virus pandemic.

A．They can be processed into herbal soap to raise money.

C．They can be used to treat coronavirus.
D．They can help to educate students.

A．New tourist destination. B．A new strain of coronavirus.

Why do we eat so much
One reason is buffet lunches—they need no explanation. Business dinners that last for hours also encourage people to eat too much. Dinner parties with friends are also culprits, as being in a good mood gives you an appetite. Eating too quickly because you are busy can also be a problem. It takes 20 minutes for the brain to receive a warning of overeating, so wolfing lunch in 10 minutes is not a good idea. Finally, skipping meals due to work pressure can lead to binge-eating in the evening.
What’s wrong about overeating
“Taking in half the food that your stomach can contain is enough for you to survive. Eating too much places a burden on your organs and causes many health problems,” heath education expert Hong Shaoguang said.
Health risks:
Obesity: Countless scientific studies have proved that obesity causes heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, arteriosclerosis and other complications.
Gastropathy: Overeating can cause severe indigestion even damage the gastrointestinal tract.
Fatigue: Overeating slows brain reactions and accelerates the brain’s aging process.
Cancer: Japanese scientists have found that overeating can switch off a gene that combats cancer.
Dementia: Japanese experts have found that 30 to 40 percent of senile dementia patients overate when they were younger.
25．Which will not encourage people to eat too much according to the text
A．Being in a good mood. B．Business dinners lasting for hours.
C．Too delicious food. D．Eating too quickly.
26．How much food is enough for survival according to Hong Shaoguang
A．Half the food that your stomach can contain.
B．As much food as your stomach can contain.
C．More food than your stomach can contain.
D．A quarter of th food that your stomach can contain.
27．Which is not the health problem of overeating
A．Heart disease. B．Indigestion C．Looking older D．Cancer
Too often, houseplant decisions are made suddenly. We find a fine plant at the supermarket and say, “That’s so pretty. I want it.” So we bring home a healthy, tropical (热带的) plant only to find it, weeks later, on death’s doorstep.
Before buying a tropical plant or indoor flowering plant, look around your house and decide where you would like to see it. It is not necessary to choose the brightest place, as there are great houseplants for nearly all light conditions. After determining where new plants are needed, decide what shape the plants should be. Perhaps you need something tall to fill an empty corner or soften an empty wall.
Once you have a list of the spaces you need to fill and the plant forms you would like to try, visit the garden center or greenhouse and look at the offerings. Mid-winter is the best time for tropical plant shopping since most stores fill the gap between gardening seasons with tropical orders. Ordered a lot, they are cheaper in the winter as well.
Ask the salesman which plants are the easiest to grow; this list should include cast iron plant, parlor palms, snake plants, peace lilies and so on. Flowering plants are the most difficult to grow and should be avoided if you are new to indoor plants. If you must have one, look for Jasmine Sambac, an easy plant.
Don’t lose heart if you buy something and it doesn’t survive. Tropical plants are suited to warm, moist (潮湿的) and protected air. They are not suited to some places in hot northern homes. Remember that a lovely plant that looks good in your living room for only a year is still a better action than last night’s pizza.
28．What should we consider before buying a houseplant
A．Its color and shape. B．Its flowering period.
C．The area which it belongs to. D．The place where we will put it.
29．Why does the author suggest buying plants in mid-winter
A．There are more plants to choose from then.
B．The gardening business then is increasing.
C．The plants look more beautiful then.
D．The plants grow better then.
30．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．We’d better not buy the pizza made last night.
B．The living conditions are important to plants.
C．Few people can keep tropical plants alive.
D．It is wrong to keep tropical plants indoor.
31．What is the main idea of the text
A．Where to buy houseplants.
B．When to grow houseplants.
C．How to choose a proper houseplant.
D．Whether houseplants are easy to grow.
On October 18, 2019, NASA astronaut Jessica Meir and her partner Christina Koch replaced a failed power controller outside the international space station (ISS). It means two women astronauts have made history with the first all-woman spacewalk.
It’s not surprising that after having dived (潜水) deep under the Antarctic ice and climbed to some of the highest mountains in the world, Jessica Meir has set out to reach the outer space.
Meir’s parents moved to Caribou, Maine and Meir grew up there. The family didn’t know anybody who worked for NASA or for the space program in any way. She thought her dream of joining in space exploration came true because of the love of nature she learned from her mother, and her father’s preference for adventure.
When being asked whether she worries about the risks of space travel, Meir says, “I don’t worry about it. We do such a good job here at training. The people at the NASA centers work so hard to get us ready. They attach great importance to making sure that we are fully supported. Training and safety agreements are always the most important things. Emergent situations are stressed and practiced so many times that responses become natural. You can rely on that training. Yeah, you’re doing things you’ve never done before, but they know how to give that to you in a professional way.”
“The happiest and most exciting thing I’ve ever experienced is that I have the spiritual and physical challenges at the same time. I’ve always been this way. I’m sure my mother would agree as she’s watched me do extreme sports throughout my life. I don’t think of them as risky, though. It is more about controlled risk. Being well trained and following safety measures is part of the fun. I do truly live by the principle that without risk there is no reward.”
32．Why did Jessica Meir and Christina Koch make history
A．They did a spacewalk without men. B．They are the youngest women astronauts.
C．They are the first women to do a spacewalk. D．They replaced a failed power controller successfully.
33．What kind of character does Jessica Meir have according to her personal experiences
A．Smart. B．Considerate. C．Hard-working. D．Adventurous.
34．Why doesn’t Jessica Meir worry about the risks of space travel
A．She is an experienced astronaut. B．She thinks doing a space travel is easy.
C．She trusts her co-workers and their work. D．She believes there is no emergent situation.
35．What does Jessica Meir say in the last paragraph
A．Practice makes perfect. B．The controlled risk is worthwhile.
C．There is no risk in becoming an astronaut. D．She gets the spirit of adventure from her mom.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Albert Einstein held a small, round instrument with a glass cover and a shaking needle in his palm. 36 Albert’s father called it a compass Albert called it a mystery. No matter how he moved the compass, the needle always pointed to the north.
Something was in the room with him, Albert realized — something he couldn’t see or feel, but that acted on the compass just the same. Puzzled and attracted, Albert listened to his father explain magnetism, the strange force that made the compass needle point north. 37 To many children the compass would have been just another toy. To Albert the compass was a miracle he would never forget.
38 Born on March 14, 1879, Albert hadn’t looked like other babies. As she cradled her new-son in her arms, Pauline Einstein thought the back of his head looked strange. Was something wrong with Albert Although the doctor told Pauline everything was fine, several weeks passed before the shape of Albert’s head began to look right to her. When Albert was one, his family moved to Munich, where his sister, Maja, was born a year later. 39 Where were the baby’s wheels The disappointed two-year-old wanted to know. Albert had expected a baby sister to be something like a toy, and most of his toys had wheels.
At an age when many children have lots to say, Albert seemed strangely backward. The nine-year-old still had trouble putting his thoughts into words. But Albert was a good listener and a good thinker. When he went hiking with his parents and Maja, he thought about his father’s compass and what it had revealed to him. The clear, open grasslands were filled with more than the wind or the pleasant smell of flowers. 40 The very thought of it quickened his pulse.
A．They were also filled with magnetism.
B．Albert had always been different from other children.
C．The five-year-old stared at his hand as if it held magic.
D．The invisible force makes the compass more than a toy to all.
E．Looking down at the tiny sleeping parcel, Albert was puzzled.
F．Somewhere, the wind, soft and magic, clicked through tree branches.
G．But nothing he said made the invisible power less mysterious or wonderful.

I recently heard a story about a famous scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs. He was being interviewed by a reporter who asked him why he thought he was able to be so much more 41 than the average person.

When his mother came in, 44 shouting at him or giving him a lecture, she said, “Robert, what a great and wonderful picture you have ‘drawn’！ I have 45 seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been done. Would you like to get down and 46 in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up？”
His mother then said, “You know, what we have here is a 47 experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can 48 it.” The little boy learned that if he 49 the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful 50 ！
This scientist then said that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be 51 to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just 52 for learning something new, which is, 53 , what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment “doesn't 54 ”, we usually learn something 55 from it.,

67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
An abandoned dog stopped at the front door of the Laceys’ small house, wagging its tail, trembling with shyness and cold. Doris Lacey, whose school had been called off because of the snow, spotted the creature and immediately went up to meet it.
“Where did that come from ” Mrs. Lacey asked as soon as Doris put the dog down in the kitchen. Mr. Lacey was at the table, cleaning his fingernails. “I don’t know where it came from, ” he said mildly, “but I know for sure where it’s going.”
Doris hugged the dog hard against her. She said nothing.
Because of the snow, the roads would be too bad for travel for many days. Mr. Lacey couldn’t get out to take the dog to the animal shelter in the city right away. He agreed to let it sleep in the basement while Mrs. Lacey unwillingly let Doris feed it leftover food.
Four days passed and the dog did not complain. It never cried in the night or barked at the wind. It didn’t tear up everything in the basement. It wouldn’t even follow Doris up the basement steps unless it was invited. It was a good dog.
Several times Doris had opened the door in the kitchen that led to the basement and the puppy had been there, all stretched out, on the top step. Doris knew it had wanted some company and that it had lain against the door, listening to the talk in the kitchen, smelling the food, being a part of things. It always wagged its tail, eyes all sleepy, when she found it there.
Even after a week had gone by, Doris didn’t name the dog. She knew her parents wouldn’t let her keep it, that her father made so little money and any pets were out of the question, and that the dog would definitely go to the shelter when the weather cleared. Still, she tried talking to them about the dog at dinner one night. “She’s a good dog and not much trouble, right ” Doris said, hoping one of them would agree with her. But Mr. Lacey shook his head, “You know we can’t afford a dog, Doris. You try to act more grown-up about this.” Doris fell silent, praying the weather would never clear.
注意: 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
However, the sun was shining the next morning.

66． Born in a medical family, in Oct. 1936, Zhong Nanshan comes from Xiamen, Fujian Province. When he was young, he had a strong passion for medicine.
Zhong Nanshan, who graduated from Peking University Medical School in 1960, is one of the academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. In 2003, he was a hero in fighting against SARS, managing the SARS outbreak. In 2020, he made an outstanding contribution when fighting against COVID-19.
Zhong Nanshan has devoted much of his life to researching and treating respiratory diseases, whose work is highly thought of by all Chinese people.
67． However, the sun was shining the next morning. Doris was sitting alone in the living room trying not to cry, but she was not strong enough. Her face was wet and red, her eyes full of depression. Outside, she heard the trunk of the car slam shut, one of the doors open and close, the old engine cough and choke and finally start up. Hearing the car travel down the road, she could do nothing but cry herself to sleep, and her dreams were full of searching and searching for things lost.
Later that afternoon, Mr. Lacey came back with the same dog. Doris put her hand to her mouth. She couldn’t believe her eyes. “You didn’t take her away ” she asked. “I did,” her father answered. “The worst looking place I’ve ever seen. Ten dogs in a cage. Smell was enough to knock you down. And they give an animal six days to live. Then they kill it with some kind of a shot. I wouldn’t leave an ant in that place, so I brought the dog back.” Doris excitedly ran to her father and gave him a super big hug. What an unexpected surprise it is!
