21、Why Walking Makes You a Better Worker?

We’re busy at work, distracted by technology and often live in urban environments far from wild spaces.

【1】 The average American, for example, spends about 90% of their life indoors. But what happens if we make time for an hour outside each day?

【2】 You’ll have to stand up and move, which is beneficial if most of your day involves sitting in front of a screen. Research shows short breaks can improve work enthusiasm, and a quick break in natural light will deliver a shot of vitamin D.

There’s also a lot of work on the mental benefits of being in nature — on the state of being happy and on your brain’s ability to make sense of life. “When people are all out in nature, even in urban nature, people tend to have more positive emotion and energy than when they are indoors. 【3】” says Lisa Nisbet, associate professor at Canada’s Trent University.

The idea that nature is good for us has been gaining ground since the 1980s. 【4】 Afterwards shinrin-yoku, the Japanese concept followed that absorbing the atmosphere in forests can benefit your health. Researchers of shinrin-yoku have since found plenty of physical and mental benefits, while global studies suggest time in nature can, for example, restore our ability to focus, increase creativity, and even help us live longer.

Of course, many of us live in cities with no ready access to forests or wilderness. 【5】 Various studies have shown that green environments in cities have beneficial effects.

A.There are some obvious benefits to going outside.

B.But it doesn’t have to be a forest.

C.spending time in nature makes us healthier and happier.

D.In other words, people are happier in nature.

E.We also don’t get out much.

F.Green and blue spaces are better than busy city streets.

G.First came the theory that humans have a basic desire to connect with nature.

23、   My father died when I was nine, and I remember doing the household chores(杂务)to help my mother. I hated changing the vacuum cleaner(真空吸尘器)bag and picking up things the machine did not suck up.

Twenty years later, in 1978, I was doing chores at home alongside my wife. One day the vacuum cleaner was screaming away, and I had to empty the bag because I could not find a replacement for it. With this lifelong hatred of the way the machine worked. I decided to make a bagless vacuum cleaner.

Easier said than done, of course. I didn't realize that I would spend the next five years perfecting my design, a process that resulted in 5,127 different prototypes(设计原型). By the time I made my 15th prototype, my third child was born. By 2,627, my wife and I were really counting our pennies. By 3,727, my wife was giving art lessons for some extra cash, and we were getting further and further into debt. These were tough times, but each failure brought me closer to solving the problem.

I just had a passion for the vacuum cleaner as a product, but I never thought of going into a business with it. In the early 1980s, I started trying to get licensing agreements for my technology. The reality was very different, however. The major vacuum makers had built a business model based on the profits from bags and filters(滤网).

No one would license my idea, not because it was a bad one, but because it was bad for business.

That gave me the courage to keep going. Then, in 1993, when my bank manager personally persuaded Lloyds Bank to lend me $1 million, I was able to go into production. Within two years, the Dyson vacuum cleaner became a best-seller in Britain.

Today, I still embrace risk and the potential for failure as part of the process. Nothing beats the excitement of invention. Go out and brainstorm your ideas. You are not bound to any rules—in fact, the stranger and riskier your idea, the better.

【1】Why did James Dyson decide to make a bagless vacuum cleaner?

A.Because he lost his father at an early age.

B.Because he didn't like to do household chores.

C.Because he could find a replacement for the old cleaner

D.Because he didn't like how the old vacuum cleaner worked.

【2】What can we learn from paragraph 3?

A.Dyson found the design of the cleaner easier than expected.

B.Dyson was in financial difficulties while designing his cleaner.

C.Dyson's wife had to give art lessons to make money for five years.

D.Dyson was discouraged by the tough times in designing his cleaner.

【3】What happened to Dyson's design of vacuum cleaner?

A.It went into production immediately.

B.It got a licensing agreement very quickly

C.It had the same business model like others.

D.It was not accepted by major vacuum makers.

【4】What is the purpose of the text?

A.To compare two types of vacuum cleaners.

B.To persuade people to buy a Dyson vacuum cleaners.

C.To encourage people to face risks and failures bravely.

D.To introduce the reader to the life story of James Dyson.

24、If you live in southwest Virginia, don’t be surprised at the sight of a drone(无人机) winging its way, doing airborne delivery over your neighborhood.

On October 20,2019,wing,an American multinational company, began the most advanced trials of commercial drone delivery in Virginia. Residents can now use a smartphone app to order items from Wing partners such as Sugar Magnolia. A Wing drone never sets down at destinations, instead gently lowering the package with a rope outside the customer's door.

Though Wing is the first American company to receive Federal Aviation Administration(FAA)approval to use commercial drones as a widespread service. it is not the only one. On October 22,2019,multinational delivery company UPS, which had also received FAA approval for its drone fleet, announced it would soon begin trial deliveries of goods from health care company CVS. Meanwhile, ridesharing company, Uber, which had partnered with McDonald's, hoped to use its drones to deliver food to hungry customers in San Diego, CA, before the end of 2019. Amazon also plans on testing its trial deliveries of goods in a yet-to-be-determined location in the upcoming months.

Every company's drones can carry packages weighing up to five pounds, and the series of trial are hortative, but widespread drone delivery still has many challenges. These include basic issues like finding places for drones to land, reducing noise pollution, and even ensuring the drones don't run into each other while airborne.

To help sped up the process, NASA announced the Urban Air Mobility Grand Challenge. The competition challenges airspace service providers to find creative solutions to the issues, so that drone deliveries can become a reality soon. “We are moving fast,” said NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine. “We want to see by 2028 at least one city--maybe more than one--have the ability to control hundreds of drone delivery systems. They could be carrying goods, doing thousands of missions every day.”

【1】What can be inferred from the passage？

A．It's impossible to crash other drones during the delivery.

B．People can order items from Wing directly with an app.

C．More companies are expected to try out their drone delivery.

D．Drones deliver items by gently bringing them down to the ground.

【2】What does the underlined part “hortative” in Paragraph 4 mean？

A．Encouraging.

B．Relaxing.

C．Creative.

D．Relative.

【3】What's Jim Bridenstine's expectation of drone delivery?

A．To increase the speed of airborne delivery.

B．To see drone delivery systems widely used.

C．To be able to control the airline system.

D．To provide more solutions to goods delivery.

【4】Which is the best title for the text?

A．The Future of Drone Delivery

B．How to Achieve Drone Delivery in 2028

C．The Advantages of Using Drone Delivery

D．Drone Delivery May Become a Reality in the US

26、请阅读下面文字，并按照要求用英语写一篇150 词左右的文章。

Li Jiang  

When I was in the primary school, I often met with problems which I could not work out on my own, especially in English and arithmetic. So I downloaded an online educational app named Zuoyebang. Since then, I have been using several kinds of such software, for example, Xuebajun and Haofenshu. Whenever I have a problem, I will turn to them. As a result, my study has been progressing steadily. I will strongly recommend these apps to my friends.

Su Hua  

After entering the senior high, I found I had more and more difficulty learning maths and English. As many online learning products are quite popular among other students, my parents subscribed to one for me too. After that, however, I feel as if I were going to two schools, one real-world school and one online school. Every day I have endless exercises to do and feel very tired. Worse still, I feel I have lost interest in my study now. What shall I do?
