21、   Cooking has become a hobby and major recreation (娱乐) for many people in quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s almost impossible nowadays to check social media without at least two or three photos of delicious meals popping up on our screens. But behind the fancy recipes and boastful (炫耀的) social media posts, many of us don’t realize how much we take food for granted.

“At the same time while dealing with a COVID-19 pandemic, we are also on the brink of a hunger pandemic,” David Beasley, executive director of the World Food Program (WFP), a United Nations agency, warned on April 20.

Around 135 million people had been facing food shortages before the coronavirus outbreak, but now 130 million more could go hungry in 2020, said Arif Husain, chief economist at the World Food Program. Altogether, 265 million people are being pushed to the brink of starvation (饥饿) by the COVID-19 crisis.

According to The New York Times, thousands of workers in India are lining up twice a day for bread and fried vegetables to fight against hunger. And across Colombia, poor families are hanging red clothing and flags from their windows to show that they are hungry.

“We don’t have any money, and now we need to survive,” said Pauline Karushi, who lost her job at a jewelry store in Nairobi. “That means not eating much.”

Lockdowns and social distancing measures contributed to loss of income for people worldwide and disrupted (打乱) agricultural production and supply routes (路线), leaving millions to worry how they will get enough to eat.

Money alone will not be enough, according to WFP. Also crucial is ensuring (保证) that transport and supply chains stay open in the face of lockdowns.

“There is no shortage of food globally – yet. But problems in planting, harvesting and transporting food will leave less developed countries facing even more difficult times in the coming months, especially those reliant (依赖的) on imports,” Johan Swinnen, director general of the International Food Policy Research Institute in Washington told The New York Times.

However, for us, there’s no need for stockpiling (囤积) food, said Wei Baigang, an official from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. The reserves (储存) of rice and wheat in China are enough for the whole population for one year, according to Xinhua, and the prices remain stable.

“We have the confidence and determination to keep our rice bowls full,” said Pan Wenbo, another official from the ministry.

23、   Franklin K. Matthiews, a librarian, went on a nationwide tour to advocate better standards for children’s literature. That was in the early 20th century. Relatively few kids’ books were published at that time. That was partly because printing color illustrations was expensive. Matthiews was a firm believer in the importance of children’s literacy. His advocacy ended with creation of Children’s Book Week, an annual celebration of books for little ones.

In honor of its 100th anniversary, the Library of Congress digitized a collection of dozens of children’s books published prior to 1924. Some of the newly digitized stories are classics that will likely be familiar to modern readers. The oldest book in the digital collection is A Little Pretty Pocket Book, considered to be the first book written specifically for children, which was originally published in 1744 by John Newbery.

“Well into the 19th century, most of children’s literature in America came from Britain,” Jacqueline Coleburn, a worker at the Library of Congress said. “It wasn’t till the 1830s and 1840s that we really focused on producing American books.”

When they did take off in the US, the reading material was often filled with imagination and originality just like the books read today. An 1863 copy ox Red Riding Flood was cut in the shape of a girl with animals around her feet. The Slant Book was published in 1910, following a little boy and in the shape of a parallelogram to convey the boy’s race down.

The collection highlights the joyful commonalities between children past and present. Kids today will surely get a kick out of some images. But the books can at times be out of syne with modern feelings. They aren’t diverse, and sometimes express problematic opinions of gender.

“We’re celebrating the fact that these books provide us with the opportunity to have conversations about what is appropriate or inappropriate. They are historical documents which reflect the attitudes, viewpoints and beliefs of various ages.” says Lee Ann Potter at the Library of Congress.

【1】What contribution did Matthiews make?

A．He set a standard for children’s literature.

B．He helped with the launch of Children’s Book Week.

C．He promoted color illustrations in children’s books.

D．He proposed digitizing children’s books in America.

【2】Why are Red Riding Hood and The Slant Book mentioned?

A．To prove early children’s books were creative.

B．To give examples of popular children’s books.

C．To compare children’s books in different ages.

D．To show importance of having children’s books.

【3】What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 5 mean?

A．Disagree with.

B．Stick with.

C．Reflect.

D．Inspire.

【4】What can be learnt from Potter’s words?

A．It’s hard to avoid improper contents in books.

B．Books reflect history and beliefs of a country.

C．We should choose children’s books cautiously.

D．Old books help us understand a different time.

24、Six-year-old Alice is building a magical kingdom brick by brick, imagining fairy-tale castles and fire-breathing dragons. This fantasy is helping her take first steps towards creativity. Minutes later, when she is playing board games with her brother, she’s learning to follow rules and take turns with a partner. Although she isn’t aware of it, this will play an important role in her adult life.

“Play in all its rich variety is one of the highest achievements of the human species,M says Dr. David Whitebread from the University of Cambridge. He’s also mindful of the worldwide decline of play. ”The opportunities for free play, which I experienced almost every day of my childhood, are becoming increasingly scarce now.He says. Outdoor play is restricted by parents’ perceptions of risk to do with traffic, as well as their increased wish to protect their children from being the victims of crime, and by their emphasis on “earlier is better” which is leading to greater competition in academic learning and schools.

Many researchers highlight play’s role in children’s development. Dr. Gibson said, “Playful behavior is an important indicator of healthy social development. In my previous research, I investigated how observing children at play can give us important clues about their well-being?” In Baker’s study, she found that preschoolers with greater self-control solved problems more quickly. Giving children the chance to play will make them more successful problem-solvers in the long run.

Whitebread’s recent research has involved developing a play-based approach to supporting children's writing. “Many primary school children find writing difficult, but we have shown that a playful stimulus （激励因素）was far more effective than an instructional one. Children can write longer and better-structured stories when they first play with dolls representing characters in the story.

Somehow the importance of play has been lost in recent decades. It’s regarded as something insignificant, or even as something negative that contrasts with “work”. Let’s not lose sight of its benefits, and the fundamental contributions it makes to human achievements in the arts, sciences and technology. Let’s make sure children have a rich diet of play experiences.

【1】What is the purpose of the first paragraph?

A．To illustrate the benefits of too much spare time.

B．To describe a kid’s peaceful and happy childhood.

C．To present the importance of a rich variety of play.

D．To introduce the distinctive functions of different toys.

【2】According to paragraph 2, outdoor playing is declining probably because parents ___________.

A．show concern over traffic jam on the way to play

B．worry their kids will fall victim to being cheated

C．perceive play as the opposite side of hard work

D．attach importance to academic learning in advance

【3】What has Dr. Whitebread's recent research found out?

A．Children with greater self-control solve problems fester,

B．Children at play often show hints about their well-being.

C．Students write better when they integrate work with play.

D．Play promotes healthy social and emotional development.

【4】How does the author feel about current people's awareness of play?

A．Indifferent.

B．Concerned.

C．Inspired.

D．Satisfied.
