26、Imagine the tallest building in the United States. Fill that giant building 44 times with rotten fruits and vegetables. Now you know how much food Americans waste every year.

It is hard to believe, right? About 133 billion pounds of food get thrown away. That’s one-third of all the food we produce. And a lot of it is thrown away for one simple reason: It’s ugly.

The problem is that nature isn’t perfect. Apples can get scarred (留下疤痕) by storms. Cucumbers grow in C shapes. Carrots change into unusual fork-like forms. Watermelons get too big to fit on a refrigerator shelf. These crazy-looking fruits and vegetables may taste great. But most grocery stores refuse to sell them. Store owners say people judge food by how it looks. No one wants a tomato that looks like a two-headed monster. But what if you could buy that tomato for half-price?

A new movement is trying to make people see the “beauty” in ugly food. Some stores are selling ugly produce. It tastes the same. And you pay less for it because the food doesn’t look perfect.

Usually, the stores find a nicer word than “ugly”. A Canadian chain uses “naturally imperfect”. In some US stores, it’s “misfit produce”. Whatever you call it, ugly food helps many people. Fanners get paid for food they were going to have to throw away. Shoppers get cheaper fruits and vegetables. The ugly-food movement will also help some of the 44 million Americans who don’t have enough to eat. Many groups give the ugly produce to hungry people.

So really, who cares if that carrot looks a little… ugly?

【1】Why are lots of fruits and vegetables thrown away in the US?

A. Because they don’t look nice.

B. Because they have gone bad.

C. Because they don’t taste good.

D. Because they are badly polluted.

【2】What is the 5th paragraph mainly about?

A. The stores selling ugly food.

B. The better names for ugly food.

C. The number of hungry Americans.

D. The benefits of the ugly-food movement.

【3】What does the mark “…” in the last paragraph suggest?

A. The author would like to buy ugly carrots.

B. No one would care if a carrot looks a little ugly.

C. The author does not quite like the word “ugly”.

D. Nobody really wants to buy carrots that look ugly.

27、Going to school looks quite a bit different during the COVID-19 pandemic(流行病). Students and teachers have to wear masks and keep social distance in the whole day. But teachers like Mary Schulz of the West Fork School District in Rockwell, Lowa, still miss the daily greetings that help grow their relationship with their kids. One of the things that Mary missed most was her daily greeting each third grade students with a hug, high - five, or handshake. "When we came back, we hadn't seen each other in so long and the students just wanted to reach out, you could see it, “she said. "It was just kind of awkward. Maybe you will think the ways of greetings are funny.”

She thought of a clever way to have each of her students come up with a special greeting to start their day! Some of them do a dance move, some simply wave, and others have a difficult foot - tap combination. Mary learned all 20 of their special hellos and now her kids are glad to line up for their daily welcome from Mrs. Mary.

Mary said she has felt more connected with her students since having the daily greetings, and the kids just like it! "We're just trying to have school life with some fun things, she added. "It has brought me joy too.”

【1】How did Mary Schulz often greet her students?

A．With a nice gift.

B．With a sweet smile.

C．With a warm word.

D．With an action of welcome.

【2】How did Mary Schulz learn so many kinds of greetings?

A．On the internet.

B．From her students.

C．Keeping Thinking by herself.

D．Her friends told her.

【3】What did the daily greeting bring about?

A．Students became friendly and polite.

B．Both Mary and students felt very happy.

C．Students started to keep social distance.

D．Some students studied harder than before.

【4】What could be the best title for the passage?

A．Interesting Greetings

B．Creativity out of Necessity

C．Keep Social Distance

D．Ideas of one Teacher

28、If you ask some people "How did you learn English so well?", you may get a surprising answer, "In my sleep!”

These are people who have taken part in one of the recent experiments to test the Learn While You Sleep method, which is now being tried in several countries, and with several subjects, English is among them.

Scientists say that this sleep study method greatly speeds language learning.They say that the ordinary person can learn two or three times as much during sleep as in the same period during the day—and this does not affect (影响) his rest in any way.However, sleep teaching will only put into your head what you have studied already while you are awake.

In one experiment, ten lessons were broadcast over the radio for two weeks.Each lesson lasted twelve hours—from 8 pm to 8 am.The first three hours of English grammar and vocabulary were given with the students awake.At 11 pm a lullaby (催眠曲) was broadcast to send the student to sleep and for the next three hours the radio in a soft and low voice broadcast the lesson again into his sleeping ears.At 2 am a sharp noise was sent over the radio to wake the sleeping student up for a few minutes to go over the lesson.The soft music sent him back to rest again while the radio went on.At 5 o'clock his sleep ended and he had to go through the lesson again for three hours before breakfast.

【1】By the Learn While You Sleep method, one_______________.

A．starts to learn a new lesson in sleep

B．learns how to sleep better

C．is made to remember his lesson in sleep

D．can listen to the radio broadcast anywhere

29、Dear Daddy,

You’ve been gone for six years and I’ve had time to think. Now I’m ready to write this letter to you.

For a long time after Mom died, I thought I liked her more because I didn’t like your attitude and I thought that her softer side was more desirable. In my 15-year-old’s mind, I thought you could have stopped my mother from drinking herself to death. Instead, you were off playing tennis and working. Later, I realized that no one could make someone stop drinking. Support is important, but at the end of the day, it is a choice. You were just doing your best.

What I have learned is that I am much like you. You taught me self-confidence. I know if I am prepared to work hard enough for something, I will be successful. This is no small thing. What I’ve realized since you died is that you were always there for me. You fought to ensure that I got my place on the Quebec badminton team that I had earned. When I got divorced (离婚), you came up to see if I had what I needed to take care of the boys and you paid off my car.

You taught me not to spend money I don’t have. I’ve always kept to that rule. It has served me well. We always had a good home to live in, nice vacations, and everything we needed and most of what we wanted.

You were not a perfect parent and neither am I. My children are much more thankful than I ever was. I am thankful that I had you as my dad. I am still Daddy’s girl and I am proud of it.

A．abc

B．bd

C．cd

31、Directions: Complete the passage with the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Most people assume that life in the rat race is bad for your health.But reversing the traditional gender roles is a stressful 【1】, according to the latest research by American scientists. By giving up their jobs in order to become house husbands, men 【2】their risk of heart attacks by as much as 82%, according to research based on a 10-year study of 2,500 people in Boston, USA.

According to Dr Eaker, the key to the problem is that some man became 【3】 about performing a role not 【4】 assigned to them by society. Men who stay at home tend not to have the same levels of support from fiends and family as women who do the same. Jack O’Sullivan, of the Father’s Direct group, was quoted as saying: “Society expects the main carer to be a woman, and society is 【5】 around that. Daycare is called mother and toddle groups and some men feel 【6】 about belong to those groups.”

Professor Gary Cooper, a psychologist at the University of Manchester, said many men tend to 【7】 the task of caring for a family. He said:“Most men think being a house husband involves putting on a bit of washing , taking the kids to school and then putting their feet up with a cup of coffee. They are crazy. Most men are not used to performing a 【8】of activities at the same time-the kind of multi-tasking which is second 【9】 to most of women.”

It is estimated that men have taken over the main homemaker’s role in one seven homes, as increasing numbers of women become the main breadwinner. The study also found that women in high-powered jobs were more likely to develop heart disease than those in more 【10】 positions.
