21、   Taking an afternoon nap could keep your brain sharp, a new study has said. Adults ages 60 and older who took afternoon naps showed signs of better mental ability compared to those who didn’t nap, according to a study published in General Psychiatry earlier this week.

Researchers analyzed napping habits in 2, 214 older Chinese people and measured their cognitive abilities using several cognitive tests. Participants took the Mini-Mental State Examination and the Beijing version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, both of which test for memory, language and other cognitive abilities. In every category listed in the study, nappers tested statistically higher on average compared to their non-napping counterparts.

Researchers did not gather data from people under 60, so a correlation cannot be drawn between napping and younger generations. The study also noted that there are conflicting studies about the benefits and risks of napping.

Sleeping behaviors can be affected by a multitude of factors, said Dr. David Neubauer, associate professor at Johns Hopkins University. “Daily routines, medication use and sleep disorders can all play a role in how frequently someone takes a nap.” he said.

Neubauer recommended taking a shorter “power nap” of up to 20 minutes to decrease the chances of transitioning into slow-wave sleep, which makes people feel groggy when they wake up. “Napping can be a healthy part of an older adult’s day”, Neubauer acknowledged, but make sure “sleepiness isn’t due to a treatable nighttime sleep disorder.” Older individuals who want to do all they can to preserve their cognitive functioning should put nighttime sleep first.

【1】What is the best way to keep a better cognitive ability for the old?

A．Take a nap every day.

B．Take sleep disorder seriously.

C．Have a good sleep at night.

D．Do exercise regularly.

【2】How did the researchers reach the conclusion?

A．By taking the examinations and assessment.

B．By analyzing napping habits and giving tests.

C．By measuring nappers’ ability and analyzing them.

D．By doing an experiment.

【3】Which has NO effect on one’s sleeping behaviors?

A．Taking a nap.

B．Medicine treatment

C．Sleep problems

D．Everyday activities.

【4】What can we know about “slow-wave sleep”?

A．It appears in short nap up to 20 minutes.

B．People should avoid it in their naps.

C．It is a healthy part of an elder’s day.

D．It was recommended by Neubauer.

22、Single - use plastic waste is a huge problem, worsened these days by the fact that people cannot go out to many places to eat and have to order takeout. It’s been really hard on those companies that were trying to do something about the waste. Now, many businesses in New York have signed up with a new operation, DeliverZero.

New Yorkers do order a lot of takeout and don’t want to stop doing that since they are too busy to cook on their own. However, takeout consumes countless containers. And the containers — used once and for mere seconds — usually sit in landfills as far as 400 miles away from NYC.

But with DeliverZero, you get your order in reusable containers. There is no deposits (押金); you just return them to the delivery person the next time you order, or you drop them off at any of the restaurants on the platform.

When asked why DeliverZero doesn’t call for deposits, founder Adam Farbiarz explained, “When we started, we were collecting deposits. But that made everyone’s head spin because they had to choose how many containers they needed. It became complex to collect deposits while giving the restaurant the flexibility to pack the food. So now we just let the restaurant use containers as they want. After the restaurant packs the food, the customer gets an email that says, ‘You’re getting X containers with your meal.’ If the customer doesn’t return the containers within 6 weeks, we charge them. And the system works! Restaurants have no problem counting the containers, and customers appreciate that the restaurant has the freedom to use containers in a manner that best packages the food.”

DeliverZero shows that takeout doesn’t have to be related to single - use packaging. It is just starting out and is only in New York for now, but the founder said, “We have plans to march into other cities as quickly as we can. We are hoping to make a contribution to going zero waste and building a truly circular food delivery system.”

【1】What problem does takeout usually cause according to the text?

A．Higher cost for many restaurants.

B．Poorer health of most customers.

C．Increasing single use plastic waste.

D．Fewer food choices for New Yorkers.

【2】Why did DeliverZero stop collecting deposits for containers?

A．To test if its monitoring system works.

B．To simplify the whole operation process.

C．To relieve businesses’ financial pressure.

D．To help consumers develop a good habit.

【3】What does Adam Farbiarz say about DeliverZero?

A．It will be expanded.

B．It is facing many barriers.

C．It needs to improve its technology.

D．It has won recognition worldwide.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．A platform allowing ordering food in reusable containers.

B．A concept of building a truly circular food delivery system.

C．A new operation based on deposit - free single - use packaging.

D．A system making food delivery more convenient and simpler.

23、   Nowadays, people have been using technology more than ever to stay connected to the outside world. Scammers (诈骗犯）are keyed into the facts and are taking advantage. It’s the classic tech-support scam, and it is spreading widely right now.

How it works

• You receive a phone call from what appears to be Microsoft or another big tech company, claiming they detected a virus on your device that requires your immediate attention.

• Or you sit down to your device to find a pop-up message warning that your device is infected and you need to call the number in the message or click a link right away.

• A “technician” explains the severity of the issue, requests remote access to your device and then shows you “the problem.”

• The “technician” can fix your problem for a fee, and then may offer you a monthly subscription to keep your device safe.

• The “technician” often calls back months later, offers you a refund and asks for your bank account information to deposit the money.

How to keep safe from getting scammed

• Apple, Microsoft, and other reputable tech companies do not contact customers about “tech support,” unless the customer starts communication.

• If a pop-up or error message appears with a phone number, don’t call the number. Error and warning messages never include phone numbers.

• Never pay for tech support or other services with a money transfer app, gift card, cash reload card, or wire transfer.

• Never trust any company — tech or otherwise — requesting personal or financial information.

• Keep your security software, browser, and operating system up to date, and consider using your browser’s popup blocker.

24、   Plastic is used to make a large number of products we use every day， such as drink and food containers，trash bags and grocery bags，cups and children's toys，and bottles for everything from mouthwash and shampoo to glass cleaner and dishwashing liquid. And that's not even counting all the plastic that goes into furniture， appliances， computers， and automobiles.

As the use of plastic has increased over the years，it's become a large part of America's solid waste﹣growing from less than 1 percent in 1960 to more than 13 percent in 2017. As an example of how and why plastic waste is increasing， the International Bottled Water Association reports that the US consumed 9. 67 billion gallons of bottled water in 2017， compared to 9.1 billion gallons the year before. The United States is the world's leading consumer of bottled water. A good first step in reducing plastic waste is switching to a reusable water bottle.

Recycling plastic reduces the amount of energy and resources （资源） needed to create plastic. Research shows that a bottle of water requires about 2，000 times as much energy to produce as the same amount of tap water. Recycling plastic products also keeps them out of landfills（垃圾填埋）and allows the plastic to be reused in making new products. Recycling 1 ton of plastic saves 7. 4 cubic yards of landfill space. And let's face it，a lot of plastic ends up directly in the environment，breaking down into tiny pieces ， polluting our soil and water.

Today，80 percent of Americans have easy access to a plastic recycling program. A universal numbering system for plastic types makes it even easier. According to the American Plastics Council， more than 1，800 US businesses handle plastic waste. In addition， over 200，000 grocery stores now serve as recycling collection sites for plastic waste.

【1】What message does the first paragraph mainly intend to convey？

A.Plastic products are quite common.

B.Plastic is widely used in our daily life.

C.What functions plastic has.

D.Why humans make use of plastic.

【2】According to paragraph 2， .

A.plastic waste is on the rise in America

B.Americans prefer bottled water to tap water

C.plastic waste is the leading type of waste in America

D.using reusable water bottles doesn't help reduce plastic waste

【3】What benefit does recycling plastic mainly bring？

A.It helps cut down on pollution.

B.It helps to make soil more rich.

C.It makes plastic easily broken down.

D.It produces new energy and resources.

【4】What do the figures listed in the last paragraph suggest？

A.Americans suffer a lot from plastic waste.

26、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。

Sigrid finished milking the cow and stepped out of the barn into the cold air. It was almost summer, but icebergs still filled the narrow sea. She set the bucket down, only to find that the milk reached merely halfway to the top. If we don't get more food soon, she thought anxiously, we will have to eat the cow. And then what will we do?

Grandfather used to tell her that when their Norse ancestors first came to Greenland, the fields were rich with grass. But in recent years, the climate has been getting colder and the summers shorter. When her grandfather was a little boy, there were as many as fifteen cows in the family's barn. Now there is just one. And the family has barely enough hay to feed it.

A gust of wind sending a chill down her spine, Sigrid stuffed her hands into the pockets to warm them. Her fingers felt her most prized possession, a piece of red cloth she'd had since she was a small girl. She took the cloth out of her pocket and let it unfold. It was barely longer than her arm. But its brilliant colour was bright against the stark(荒凉的) landscape. The cloth had once been part of a dress—in happier, more prosperous times. Nobody dresses like that anymore.

With ice-filled seas, ships no longer arrive with foods and goods to trade. All of a sudden, movement on the water caught Sigrid's eye. A light boat moved silently between the icebergs. An Inuk boy, about Sigrid's age, was looking her way, staring at the red cloth fluttering(飘动) in the breeze. A hunting weapon was tied to the front of his boat. And dragging behind it was a large fish. Sigrid knew there had been fights between the Inuit and the Norse. But the boy had a kind face and did not reach for his weapon.

注意:

1.续写词数应为150左右;

She couldn't help but wonder what to do.
