24、   COVID-19 has made people think harder about their relationship with nature. It has also raised questions about city lifestyles. The sharing economy, working in open offices, living in crowded apartment and the food industry's use of reusable products have made the perfect storm for a pandemic（大流行）.

Although the sharing economy might be good—it's cheaper to rent than to own—sharing spaces and objects are great ways to spread the virus. How does one do "social distancing" when they are expected to share cars, bikes and even the same offices?

The trend of using open offices, which can save space, is working against. In this type of office, workers don't have their own desk—everything is shared. Sometimes, computers and chairs are also shared, which is not hygienic（卫生的）. Luckily, more workers are working from home during the pandemics but that won't last forever.

Reusability（循环利用）is a common practice in the restaurant industry. Reusable cups and chopsticks are often used. Unluckily, reusable products increased the chance of spreading disease. For example, Starbucks recently stopped refilling customers' reusable cups in order to stop the spread of the virus.

People like to be social. But the virus has made this more dangerous. We have to be careful about how we interact with others for now. Perhaps we need to rethink about our lifestyles to reduce the spread of future pandemics.

【1】According to the author, the strong point of the sharing economy is that ________.

A.it lasts longer B.it costs less

C.it's popular D.it's hygienic

【2】Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________.

A.how working at home won't last long

B.how shared offices can save space

C.the hygienic problems of open offices

D.the sharing economy trend

【3】According to the author, restaurants can spread the virus easily because ________.

A.everything is shared in many restaurants

B.they use too much disposable tableware

C.many restaurants have poor hygiene

D.cups and chopsticks are often reused

【4】What does the word "interact" mean in the last paragraph?

A.play B.exchange C.fight D.communicate

【5】The author probably agrees that ________.

A.we need to change some of our lifestyles

B.the sharing economy won't last forever

C.no one can stay out of the sharing economy

D.we shouldn't stay away from shared products

25、   In the United States, people throw away 500 million plastic straws(吸管) every day! They are enough to circle the Earth twice. Unluckily, they are almost never recycled, because they are too small.

Now, plastic straws are the aim of environmental movements. Among them is Be Straw Free. A 23-year-old young man, Milo Cress, started the movement at the age of 16. “I noticed that whenever I ordered a drink at a restaurant, it would come with a straw,” he said. “This seems like a huge waste.”

Cress started by asking restaurants in his home city to stop providing straws if customers do not ask for one. Many of them agreed. Over the years, restaurants in the United States joined the movement. On average, they use 50-80 percent fewer plastic straws than they used to.

In other countries, there are similar movements. In the United Kingdom, many restaurants now use paper straws instead of plastic ones. The British government is planning to ban all plastic waste by 2042.

However, in China, it is very common that many restaurants still use plastic straws. Will you do something to change the situation? Everybody can make a difference to it!

【1】Why do people almost never recycle plastic straws?

A.Because the plastic straws are very cheap.

B.Because the plastic straws are very small.

C.Because people can make the plastic straws quite easily.

【2】How old was Milo Cress when he started Be Straw Free?

A.7 years old. B.16 years old. C.23 years old.

【3】What was Milo Cress done according to the passage?

A.He has asked people to stop asking for plastic straws at the restaurant.

B.He has asked restaurants not to offer straws without customers’ requirements.

C.He has asked restaurant to replace plastic straws with paper ones.

【4】What’s the meaning of the underlined word “ban”?

A.禁止 B.收购 C.回收

【5】What does the writer expect readers to do at the end of the passage?

A.The writer expects readers to make friends with Milo Cress.

B.The writer expects readers to invite people to read the passage.

C.The writer expects readers to do something meaningful like Milo Cress

26、Why the Best Things in Life are All Backwards

There’s a part of Navy SEAL training called “drown-proofing” (抗溺水训练) where they bind your hands behind your back, tie your feet together, and dump you into a 9-foot-deep pool. Your job is to survive for five minutes.

Most people who try drown-proofing fail. Many of them panic and scream. But some make it. And they do so because they understand a counterintuitive (违反直觉的) lesson: the more you struggle to keep your head above water, the more likely you are to sink (下沉).

With your arms and legs bound, it’s impossible to keep yourself at the surface for the full five minutes. Even worse, your limited efforts to keep your body afloat will only cause you to sink faster. The trick to drown-proofing is to actually let yourself sink to the bottom of the pool. From there, you lightly push yourself off the pool floor and carry you back to the surface. Once there, you can have a quick breath of air and start the whole process over again.

Strangely, surviving drown-proofing requires no superhuman strength. It doesn’t even require that you know how to swim. However, it requires the ability to not swim. This skill—the ability to let go of control when one wants it most—is one of the most important skills anyone can develop. And not just for SEAL training. For life.

Most people suppose the relationship between effort and reward (回报、奖励) is one-to-one. We think that working twice as long will produce twice the results.

This is almost never true. Most of the world does not exist on a linear curve. Linear relationships only work for mindless or repetitive tasks—driving a car, filling out paperwork, cleaning the bathroom, etc. In all of these cases, doing something for two hours will double the output of doing it for one hour. But that’s simply because they require no thought or creativity.

Most activities in life do not operate along the linear effort/reward curve because most activities in life are not basic nor mindless. Most activities are complex (复杂的), mentally or emotionally involved. Therefore, most activities produce a diminishing returns curve.

Diminishing returns means that the more you experience something, the less rewarding it becomes. The classic example is money. The difference between earning $20,000 and $40,000 is life-changing. The difference between $120,000 and $140,000 means your car has nicer seat heaters. The difference between earning $127,020,000 and $127,040,000 is basically nothing.

Friendship has diminishing returns, as does eating, sleeping, working out at the gym, reading books, studying for an exam—the examples are endless.

But there’s another curve, the inverted curve, where effort and reward have a negative relation—the more effort you put into doing something, the more you will fail to do it.

Drown-proofing exists on an inverted curve. The more effort you put into rising to the surface, the more likely you will be to fail at it.

Few things in life work on an inverted curve. But the few things that do are important. In fact, the most important experiences and goals in life all exist on an inverted curve.

Going after happiness takes you further away from it. The longing for greater freedom is often what causes us to feel stuck and trapped. The need to be loved and accepted prevents us from loving and accepting ourselves.

The harder we try to do something, the less we shall succeed. This is “The Backwards Law”: desiring a positive experience is itself a negative experience; accepting a negative experience is a positive experience. The goal is to take your mind and teach it to stop chasing its own tail. To stop chasing meaning, freedom and happiness because those only serve to move it further away from itself. To show it how the only way to reach the surface is by letting itself sink.

You lean into the fear and uncertainty, and just when you think you’re going to drown, just as you reach the bottom, it will launch you back to your salvation (拯救).

【1】The key to survive drown-proofing is to ________.

A．sink down and lift up

B．have enough practice

C．hold your breath for long

D．move smartly underwater

【2】What can we know about the three curves?

A．Linear curve shows the possibility of success.

B．Diminishing returns tells us the less the better.

C．Inverted curve works when we have spiritual needs.

D．There is no direct link between the action and the result.

【3】According to the three curves, which application is probably true?

A．The more friends we have, the happier we will feel.

B．Cleaning works better in the first hour than the second.

C．Confidence increases when we try, and then stops increasing.

D．The more we want respect from others, the less they will respect us.

【4】The writer suggests that we should ________.

A．build mind power to live better

B．shape values for positive outcomes

C．give up struggle to gain what we desire

D．accept negativity because we are not perfect

27、   Long ago, when animals could talk, the camel had antlers and a long, thick, beautiful tail. So the camel was very proud of himself and he always showed off his beautiful and magnificent antlers to the others.

One day, the camel went to drink at the nearby river. A deer came then out of the woods, bowed to him, and said rather sadly:“I was invited to a party tonight, but how can I go there with such a bare forehead? Even if it is just for one hour, I wish to go with such beautiful antlers as yours. Dear friend, could you lend me your antlers for tonight? I’ll return them tomorrow, when you come here to drink.”

The camel, though he was a little vain, had a good heart and took pity on the poor deer’s bald head. So he took his antlers off and gave them to the deer, saying, “Well, tomorrow when I come to drink, you must return them to me.”

The deer quickly took the antlers and disappeared into the woods. On his way, he met a horse and told him how he had got his antlers.

The horse, who had also been invited to the party, thought he would like to find a nice body decoration, too. He then went to the camel and asked him to give him his tail. The kind-hearted camel trusted the horse and gave him his tail.

The next day, the camel went to the meeting point as agreed. While waiting, he was drinking water and stretching his neck to see if the deer and the horse would come. But none of them showed up. Many days and years have passed since then, and the poor camel has still not got back his antlers or his tail.

Because he drank too much water while awaiting the deer and the horse, the camel has got a hump full of water; and because he stretched his neck gazing long and hard for the deer and the horse, his neck has grown long.

The horse kept his tail but, whenever he sees the camel in the distance, he runs away.

As to the deer, he also kept his antlers, but he has to change them every year because the luck of having antlers did not belong to him but to the camel, and he only got them by betraying the camel.

【1】What does “antlers” mean in the passage?

A.鬃毛 B.蹄 C.角 D.驼峰

【2】How did the camel get his hump in the story?

A.The camel exchanged his antlers with the hump of the horse.

B.He drank too much water while waiting.

C.After fighting with the deer and the horse, he got injured.

D.He got it as a present from the deer and the horse.

【3】All the following words can describe the camel EXCEPT_____________ .

A.vain B.kind-hearted C.proud D.clever

【4】The RIGHT order of the following sentences might be_____________ .

①Once, the camel had a beautiful tail and antlers.

②The horse was invited to a party and borrowed the tail from the camel.

③The camel lent antlers to the deer.

④The camel went to the meeting point. Neither the deer nor the horse showed up.

⑤The camel had a hump full of water and a long neck.

A.①④⑤③② B.①③②⑤④ C.①②③④⑤ D.①③②④⑤
