21、   This year’s holiday photos will have an undoubtedly pandemic feel: 【1】. Santa is hosting drive-through events, attaching face shields to his hat and trading with disposable gloves rather than his white cloth ones to protect himself —and others.

“【2】,” said Mark Brenneman, 70, who has been playing the role of Santa for nearly five decades. “They want hope. They want normal.”

Bass Pro Shops began offering free photos with Santa during the 2008 recession, when the country was in need of a collective pick-me-up.【3】. Now the outdoors retailer is hoping to re-create some of that magic, even if Old Saint Nick is stuck behind a shield and elves are pulling double duty as “Santa’s sanitization squad.”

The SoNo collection, a mall in Norwalk, Conn., is offering virtual visits this year for $25. But for those who would like to see Santa in the flesh, he’ll be greeting shoppers from inside an acrylic snow globe on the third floor.

“【4】—the Spanish flu, the bubonic plague — and I just couldn’t bring myself to tell my kids that he was afraid of covid-19,” said Kathryn Burgess, a photographer who designed the snow globe and spent $10,000 producing it. “【5】.”

Her acrylic barriers, which she sells for as much as $4,000, are being used by nearly 50 malls, schools and hospitals this holiday season.

A．A visit to Santa Claus is always a big pleasure for children.

B．It turned out to be an overnight success

C．Santa has survived so many things

D．We find it difficult to deal with the situation

E．But we had to come up with a creative plan to protect him

F．No more sitting on Santa Claus’s lap or whispering in his ear

G．Santa can’t give out hugs or candy canes this year, but people still want to see him

22、The kids get Christmas decorations out of a well-loved cardboard box with great care. Jenny stands beside them, softly explaining each treasure. She and Bob built their collection piece by piece during each year's after — Christmas sale.

We first met Bob and Jenny in the early days of our marriage. Someone had been returning our garbage cans to the garage each garbage day. Then one day we spotted him: an elderly man who lived across the street. I left cookies outside the garage with a thank-you note. Later that day, a typed letter had replaced the gift. It was from Bob and explained how he would come to walk the neighborhood on garbage day, returning cans for people he barely knew. Back when he had been fighting a war, his young wife, Jenny, had found herself living alone. Neighbors had taken the time to handle her garbage cans so she didn't have to ...

A few years after we had moved in, Bob died. We told Jenny how special Bob had been to us. When Jenny invited us over to look through Christmas ornaments, I realized how hard it was to part with that box, a piece of Bob.

These days, we're piling up boxes of our own. We're planning a move. The house that seemed so huge six years ago is fully filled with furniture and books and, of course, people. We know it's time to go, and yet we can't seem to stick the For Sale sign up.

It's not just Jenny. It's the man who lets our kids pick peaches in his front yard. It's the ladies who leave overflowing baskets for our kids on Easter. It's the officer who smiles and makes me feel a little safer when Jim's away. Thank you, I'll say. For teaching us what it means to be a neighbor.

【1】Why did Bob handle garbage cans for his neighbors?

A．To help those in need of financial aid.

B．To repay his neighbors' unselfish help.

C．To set an example for the next generation.

D．To persuade the neighbors of his greatness.

【2】How does the author feel about Bob?

A．Wise and positive.

B．Helpful and caring.

C．Hardworking and brave.

D．Grateful and energetic.

【3】For what reason does the author decide to move?

A．The house isn't big enough for the family.

B．There is a better place for the family to live.

C．She gets fed up with all the garbage cans.

D．Her kids need a better education in the future.

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

A．It is hard to say goodbye

B．How can we leave our home?

C．What it means to be a neighbor

D．This is what we call harmony

24、   The human sense of smell is weak.That is well known, and is suspected by many anthropologists of being the result of a trade-off(协调) in favor of visual processing power. In the specific case of people, however, the relative weakness of smell compared with sight extends to language, too. Humans have no difficulty putting names to colors but are notoriously bad at putting names to smells.

That might also be caused by how the brain is wired. But some doubt this. They suggest it is more likely a consequence of the tendency of languages to contain words useful to their speakers. Since smells matter little to most people, most languages have few abstract words for them. A study just published in Current Biology, by Asian Majid at Radboud University in the Netherlands and Nicole Kruspe at Lund University in Sweden supports this.

Dr. Majid knew from previous work she had done that the Jahai, a group of hunter-gatherers who live in western Malaysia, are remarkably good at naming smells. Dr. Majid suggested that it might, in part, be because the Jahai have a dozen wards dedicated to describing different sorts of smells in the abstract. For example, the Jahai use the word “cŋεs” for stinging(刺激的) sorts of smells associated with petrol, smoke and various insects, and “pleŋ” for bloody, fishy and meaty sorts of smells. According to Dr Majid, only “musty” is able to act in this way in English without drawing on analogy (banana-like, gooseberry-noted, and even earthy and sweet-smelling, are all analogies of some sort).

They also looked at how two other groups of people from the Malay Peninsula(马来半岛)used terms for colors and smells. These were the Semaq Beri who also hunt and gather for a living, and the Semelai, who cultivate rice. They found tat the Semaq Beri used abstract terms for smells 86% of the time-about as often as they did for colours, which was 80％. The Semelai also used abstract colour descriptions at a similar rate, namely 78％ of the time. But when it came to describing odours they relied on abstraction on only 44％ of occasions, while resorting to analogies, such as “banana” and “chocolate”, 56％ of the time. Given these findings, Dr.Majid and Dr.Kruspe argue that it is the hunting-and-gathering way of life, rather than the use of a particular language, that is crucial to the use of abstract names for smells.

​​​

【1】What leads to the difficulty of describing smells according to Majid's study?

A.The imbalance between smell and sight.

B.The poor function of the human nose.

C.The structure of the brain.

D.Lack of relevant vocabulary.

【2】What can be inferred  from the examples in Paragraph 3?

A.English mainly relies on analogy to name smells.

B.Analogy is often used in the Jan a i language to names smells.

C.“Musty”is an English word using analogy to name a smell.

D.English borrows some words for smells from the Jahai language.

【3】What can we learn from the study about two other groups?

A.Language plays a decisive  role in_naming smells.

B.The two groups were equally good at describing colors.

C.The Semaq Beri's lifestyle helped them have an edge in naming smells.

D.Surviving in the forest has greater effect on human language than farming.
