26、The Archeoplastica project was started by a group of Italian environmental activists who decided to collect and exhibit old plastic products found on beaches and elsewhere in the natural environment to show how plastic may remain complete and polluting for decades.

Since 2018, more than 200 items of plastic waste, dating back 30-50 years, have been exhibited in the Archeoplastica virtual museum, as well as at schools and other public places. These bottles and cans are marked with the dates from different times.

In selecting and displaying old plastic waste, such as a toy whale, the project aims to tell a timeless story about the ‘immortality’ of the plastic objects that have been accumulating (积累) in our seas and on our shorelines for decades. It is hoped that showing the items will improve awareness of the fact that plastic does not biodegrade (进行生物降解) and encourage people to change their behaviour. Plastic waste makes up around 80% of marine pollution, according to UNESCO.

One early report about a doll, still in good condition years after being lost, made people think about the problem of plastic among those who saw it. The impact of the early report about the doll led the team to start collecting more objects and setting aside ‘old’ items dating back 30 to 50 years.

Children, in particular, have responded strongly to the collection, leading to a travelling exhibition around schools. It is hoped the children will convey the message about plastic to their parents and others.

Archeoplastica’s founders believe that displaying these old items can improve awareness of the problem of disposable (一次性的) plastic in the sea and on beaches.

【1】Why did they exhibit the plastic of different dates?

A．To make the exhibition formal.

B．To catch children’s eyes.

C．To show the history of nature.

D．To prove plastic lasts for decades.

【2】How is the text mainly developed?

A．By collecting data.

B．By giving examples.

C．By raising questions.

D．By making comparison.

【3】Why was the travelling exhibition held around schools?

A．To raise more environmental awareness.

B．To attract people to visit the beaches.

C．To make collecting plastic convenient.

D．To display as many works as possible.

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

A．Seas and Beaches

B．Environmental Activists

C．The Museum of Plastic Waste

D．The History of Plastic Products

29、The continuous increase in the number of COVID-19 cases worldwide has had a deep and broad effect on how we live and interact with one another, resulting in many changes that are likely to belong-lasting.

For example, to reduce contact during COVID-19, shaking hands, a standard style of greeting used by officials and businessmen has been replaced. In the US, the country hardest-hit by the outbreak, with over 36 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 and more than 610,000 deaths, the top health official said such social gatherings should end, even when COVID-19 is over. Anthony Fauci, director of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told The Wall Street Journal, “I don’t think we should ever shake hands ever again, to be honest with you.” Neel Gandhi, a professor at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, told ESPN, a US sports broadcaster, “When we talk about transmission, the hands are the place that I focus on the most.”

If such advice from health experts is followed, it will produce a big shift in human behavior. However, some people are finding alternative ways to greet one another at a time when direct contact is disapproved of. In South Korea, bowing deeply has become popular. In Australia, officials have suggested that people pat each other on the back instead of shaking hands.

Handshakes are just one form of contact that has largely ended during COVID-19, along with hugging and high-fives. As many people worldwide rebuild their social lives, experts are predicting that some degree of social contact will disappear for good.

Chen Xuefeng, deputy director of the Institute of Psychology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said, “In the post-COVID-19 era, people are likely to be have more discreetly for a while. They will pay more attention to themselves, such as caring for their health, spending more time alone, moving offline activities online, socializing less and saving more.” Chen added, “This new way of life means that some industries where old habits are deep-rooted will face challenges in upgrading.”

【1】What does Anthony Fauci suggest doing in the face of COVID-19?

A．Ending social gatherings.

B．Avoiding handshakes.

C．Moving offline activities online.

D．Using a standard style of greeting.

【2】How does the author show the big change in human behavior in paragraph 3?

A．By example.

B．By data.

C．By experiment.

D．By imagination.

【3】What does the word “discreetly” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A．Carefully.

B．Confidently.

C．Rapidly.

D．Romantically.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．Old unnecessary habits worldwide.

B．Traditional forms of communication.

C．The disasters in the post-COVID-19 era.

D．The social contact changes caused by COVID-19.

32、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。

When I was a kid about twelve years old, I had a lot of freckles(雀斑). I had reached the age when I had begun to really look at myself in the mirror, and I was overwhelmed. Apparently my mother was too, because sometimes she’d look at me and shake her head.

I had a cousin whose name was Janette Elizabeth. She looked exactly like her name sounds because she had a flawless peaches-and-cream complexion (肤色). I couldn’t help comparing myself with her and thinking that my life would be a lot different if I had beautiful skin too.

And then, in the back pages of Janette Elizabeth’s magazine, I found the answer: an advertisement for freckle-remover cream. I knew that I could afford it if I saved my money, and I did. The ad assured me that the product would work well. For three weeks I went to the mailbox every day precisely at the time the mail was delivered. I knew that if someone else in my family got the mail, I would never hear the end of it. There was no way that they would let me open the box in private.

Three weeks later, my package finally came. I went to my room with it, sat on the edge of my bed, and opened it. I was sure that I was looking at a miracle. When I got up the next morning, I applied the cream all over my body. Then I took my hoe (锄头) and went with my brother and cousins to hoe the field, where I got rid of some tiger lilies (虎百合), seemingly ugly with black and small spots.

The sun was so strong that even my face started to bum. By the end of the day, when I came back to the house, my family, knowing nothing about the freckle-remover cream, began to say things like “I’ve never seen you with that many freckles before.” When I saw myself in the mirror, I found my freckles even darker and clearer. I dissolved into tears and hid in the bathroom.
