21、   Today many people say that it is difficult to find a good hobby. Why don’t you open up a garden in front of your house? Having a garden means you need lots of space and free time. But there are many reasons why gardening is a good hobby to develop.

One of them is that plants bring color to any room and keep the air nice and fresh. And, if you keep some flowering plants outside your windows, they may even attract (吸引) cute bees and butterflies. In a word, it’s good for places around us. Gardeners also feel very close to nature. This is quite important.

There are another two reasons for gardening as well. One is that it makes people more relaxed. Studies show that people who do gardening feel more peaceful (平静的) in their lives. This is because gardening makes them feel less stressed. Another one is that it keeps you healthy. Gardening keeps you active and provides fresh food. Both of these are helpful for a healthy way of life.

If you are looking for a hobby, try gardening. You will find the fun of getting your hands dirty and pleasure that comes with growing something. Nothing tastes better than vegetables you grow in your garden.

22、   A survey (调查) in the United Kingdom asked people about life after lockdown (封城). The market research and data analytics (分析学) company You Gov asked 4,343 people about life after the lockdown ends. The company said they were surprised by the people's answers. Only nine percent of Britons want life to return to "normal" (正常状态) after the coronavirus (冠状病毒) outbreak is over. This means 91 percent want life to be different to how it was before the pandemic (大流行病) started. Over half of people (54%) said they hoped to change the way they live their lives. Lead researcher Professor Tom MacMillan said: "This data shows there is a real want for change, and for the nation to learn from this crisis (危机)."

Most of the people in the survey said they noticed big changes because of the lockdown. Just over half (51%) have noticed cleaner air outdoors, and 27 percent have seen more wildlife in the past month. This may encourage people to use cars less when the lockdown ends. Maybe more people will work from home. Many people (42%) said they value food more, and 38 percent said they are now cooking by themselves and not buying ready-made meals. Another change could be a stronger sense of community. Over 40 percent of people said they now talk to people who live near them. Professor (教授) MacMillan said, "People are trying new things and noticing differences at home, in their work and in communities."

【1】The company You Gov were ________ when they got the results of the survey.

A.happy B.sad C.surprised D.worried

【2】In the survey, ________ percent of people want life to return to normal after the pandemic is over.

A.9 B.18 C.80 D.81

【3】51% of people in the survey notice ________ was cleaner after lockdown.

A.water B.air C.the park D.the city

【4】What changes may take place after the pandemic ends according to the survey?

①People use cars less. ②People talk to their neighbours more.

③More people work from home. ④More people cook by themselves at home.

A.①②③ B.①③④ C.②③④ D.①②③④

23、Wild beavers (河狸) are back! Experts say that the wild beaver families are doing well. The beavers are even boosting wildlife and the environment!

Over ten years ago, a family of beavers turned up in a part of the river Otter, in Devon. No one knew exactly where they came from. It was a big surprise — wild beavers hadn’t lived in England for around 400 years!

In 2015, the government allowed the beavers to stay there as part of a trial (试验). They wanted to see if these animals could be reintroduced to the wild. The trial ended in February. Some scientists from the University of Exeter already said the beavers helped the wildlife in the area. One scientist called it “an amazing story”.

A lot of this is because of dams. Beavers build dams along the river. This creates deep pools in the riverbed and slows the water down. Scientists say this is perfect for many different types of plants and animals! Many plants are growing near the beavers. Different types of animals are also becoming more and more in the river. Beavers also help make flooding less, scientists say. The beavers’ dams slow down the speed of the river, especially after heavy rain.

There are, however, some problems. Beavers gnaw (咬、啃) on trees and this can harm them. Their dams can also sometimes create floods (洪水) on people’s land.

Beavers aren’t the only animals that are being reintroduced to the wild! In 2019, red squirrels were brought back to an area of the Scottish Highlands. Further away, the world’s rarest (罕见的) duck, the Madagascar pochard, is making a comeback. It was set free into the wild on the African island in 2019 and is doing well.

Who knows what other animals might be making a comeback?

【1】Which of the following best explains “boosting” in Paragraph 1?

A．building

B．spreading

C．helping

D．creating

【2】Why did the government want a trial first? Because they wanted to _________.

A．grow more plants along the river

B．build dams for the beavers in the wild

C．introduce the beavers to the wild

D．see if the beavers could be reintroduced to the wild

【3】What are the good things about wild beavers living on the river Otter?

A．They help plants grow and make flooding less.

B．They bring heavy rain and floods.

C．They gnaw on trees and harm them.

D．Their dams create floods on people’s land.

【4】How many kinds of animals are mentioned in the news which have been reintroduced to the wild?

A．One.

B．Two.

C．Three.

D．Four.

【5】How do you think animal lovers feel about the news?

A．Embarrassed.

B．Pleased.

C．Tired.

D．Disappointed.

24、A doctor was famous for his skills. Once he received a little child who was badly ill. Thanks to the doctor’s skill and care, his young patient got well and could get up and run about again.

The child’s mother was very much thankful to the doctor, and she visited him to thank him for what he did for her child. “Doctor,” she said, “you saved my little son. I don’t know how to thank you enough. I feel that money alone cannot repay you, so I make this little purse with my own hands, as a sign of my gratitude (感激). I hope you will accept it.” The doctor stood up and said coldly, “Madam, a little present like that is very nice between friends, but a doctor needs to be paid properly for what he has done.” The lady was so surprised and hurt so much that she could not reply for a moment. Then she said quietly, “Perhaps you will tell me how much your fee (费用) is?”

“Fifty pounds,” he answered.
