22、The outbreak of the novel corona virus pneumonia (NCP) has disrupted the lives and work of nearly every Chinese person. However, a new trend has been on the rise: many have turned themselves into livestreaming users or followers.

According to Questmobile, a professional big data intelligence services provider in China, the audience for Douyin, Kuaishou and other livestreaming platforms surged to 574 million during the Spring Festival holiday, up 35 percent from 2019.

Confined at home, away from their friends and loved ones, people turn to livestreaming to reach out to the world. For them livestreaming can help them share their lives and interest with a global audience, which will give them the sense of being “in the moment”. Even as viewers, they can also engage immediately with livestreamers by commenting and making suggestions.

“When I comment on the livestreaming videos, I’m not simply an audience member, but also an active part of the program. That gives me a sense of engagement,” an Internet user   named Wang Hao told People’s Daily.

Livestreaming is not only for fun, but also a new tool for many businesses. Affected by the pandemic, many businesses had to stop their sales in physical stores. To meet their business   goals and survive during these trying times, many chose to livestream to revive their businesses.

Joyoung, a leading maker of small kitchen appliances, is a good example. The company not only added a number of broadcasts each day to advertise their products, but also shared   the menus that were beneficial to health. “The responses to our livestreaming shows have been well beyond expectations,” Kang Li, who oversees the company’s livestreaming unit, told China daily. “It’s a natural opportunity to truly bond with our followers.”

Like it or not, livestreaming is likely to go mainstream in China for both entertainment and business.

D．To prove that livestreaming are becoming increasingly popular in China.

【2】What does Wang Hao think of commenting on livestreaming?

A．It is boring to make comments.

B．It is the only way to share viewers’ lives.

C．It makes people feel involved in the stream.

D．It helps livestreamers improve themselves.

23、The COVID-19 vaccination（接种疫苗） rate in the US has fallen to new lows in recent weeks, threatening President Joe Biden’s goal of having 70 percent of American adults with at least one shot by July 4.

With just less than one month from July 4, the current vaccination rate will put the US at somewhere between 67 percent and 68 percent of the adult population with at least one dose（剂量） by Independence Day. To reach 70 percent by July 4, around 1.6 percent of the population needs to get their first dose per week from now until July 4.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention（CDC） reported last week that 63 percent of adults had received their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. That was up slightly from 62 percent from the report a week before. The additional 1 percent of adults completing their first dose is the lowest since the CDC started tracking the vaccination rate in mid-February.

On average, fewer than 1 million shots are given out per day, a decline of more than two-thirds from the peak of 3.4 million in April, The Washington Post reported. In South Carolina, about 71,000 residents got a shot in the week leading up to June 3, compared to a high of nearly 300,000 in one week in early April, according to data from the CDC.

The slowdown is more prominent across the South and Midwest. Twelve states have seen vaccinations fall to 15 daily shots per 10,000 residents. Less than a quarter of black Americans had received their first COVID-19 shot as of June 7.

James Hildreth, CEO of Meharry Medical College, told Politico, “We need to make a stronger effort to bring the vaccine to the communities, rather than relying on the communities to come to vaccination centers.”

The sharp decline in vaccination began in mid-April when federal officials temporarily stopped the use of the Johnson＆Johnson vaccine while they investigated rare blood-clotting（凝血） reactions.

The “low-hanging fruit—those people who absolutely want to get vaccinated without you telling them anything” have already been vaccinated, which has led to the slowdown, Dr Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said on a White House-organized call with community leaders last week, according to the Post.

【1】What can we learn from the text?

A．Dr Anthony Fauci is in charge of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

B．In South Carolina, about 300,000 residents got a shot in the week leading up to June 3

C．In mid-April federal officials temporarily suspended the Johnson＆Johnson vaccine.

D．Less than one fourth of Americans had received their first COVID-19 shot by June 7.

【2】Which of the following can replace the underlined word “prominent” in Para. 5?

A．Meaningful.

B．Obvious.

C．Inspiring.

D．Complex.

【3】How can America increase the COVID-19 vaccination rate according to James Hildreth?

A．By giving the vaccine shot at the communities.

B．By offering the vaccine to the public for free.

C．By frequently informing the public of the vaccine.

D．By urging the communities to come to vaccination centers.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A．Biden wishes to have 70% of adults with one shot by July 4

B．CDC has been tracking the vaccination rate since mid-February

C．Some Americans need to get vaccinated without telling them to

D．Biden’s July 4th vaccine goal may be missed

24、Attention People of Earth:Fine. The big secret is out. A bunch of your finest scientists have cracked the case and discovered there is life tens of millions of miles away一here, on our beautiful planet of Venus. Congratulations on the big discovery. However, we have a polite request:Stay away.

We're serious. We're not interested. No missions to Venus, no exploratory spacecraft, no sleepovers. If we wake up one morning and look out and see Bezos, Musk and Branson wandering around in spacesuits, we're going to be really ticked off.

We mean no hostility. It's just that we're not terribly impressed by what you've got going on down there. Earth looks like a mess. You've got health crises, environmental crises and political crises. No wonder so many of you want to abandon Earth for somewhere else.

Leave us alone. Keep right where you are. We know you'd like it here. That's what scares us. You'd all move to Venus in an instant. We've got beautiful weather, minimal traffic and a decent cost of living. But we live in a fragile solar system. We can only handle so much. If we start having you all up here, pretty soon, the Martians and Jupiterians are going to want to come, too.

Meanwhile, cool your enthusiasm. Tell Elon, Jeff and Sir Richard to settle down and stick to cars, books and planes. We're not your escape plan. Venus is not Earth 2.

We wish you the best in figuring it out. We have every faith you can save your planet. If not, try Pluto. They're pretty lonely and bored out there.

Sincerely,

Venus

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

The Box Cat

Chester was born in a box with four other kittens. He was in a smaller box marked "free kitten" when Sasha met him and took him home. And from that moment on, he loved boxes. Every day after he finished grooming（刷洗）, licking his paws and fur with his tongue, he would look around for a box to sleep in.

He slept in hat boxes, gift boxes and takeout food boxes. He slept in Sasha's sock drawer, if she left it open. One year Sasha got a beautiful dollhouse for her birthday, a dark green three-story house with lots of furniture. Sasha loved it. So did Chester. He liked to push the furniture out of all the rooms and sit in the bedroom on the second floor. Sasha had to redecorate the dollhouse every day, but she didn't mind as long as Chester was happy.

One day Sasha came home from school, and she couldn't find Chester. He wasn't in the dollhouse, or her sock drawer, even though she'd forgotten to close it.

"Mom, Dad!" Sasha wailed（大叫）. "Chester is gone!"

Sasha's mom looked in the attic. There were boxes and dust bunnies, and even a mouse that had escaped Chester's notice, but no Chester. Sasha's dad looked in the kitchen cabinets, but no Chester.

Suddenly ---

"I found him!" Sasha cried.

Chester was inside her mom's new glass vase, and he didn't look happy at all. Even his whiskers（须）looked sad. Sasha tipped the vase over gently and tried to pull him out, but Chester just yowled（惨叫）.

"We'll have to break the vase to get him out!" Sasha cried.

Now her mom didn't look happy. It was a beautiful vase, clear glass with blue and green swirls.

"No," said her dad. "If we break it, the glass shards（碎片）might hurt Chester. Maybe we can put butter on the inside of the vase and slide him out, like the time you got that ring stuck on your finger."

Paragraph 1: Sasha's mom buttered as much of the inside of the vase as she could reach.

Paragraph 2: Soon they were at the vet's（兽医）office with an annoyed, frightened and buttery cat in a vase.
