26、There’s a day for just about everything, and the United Nations has designated May 20 as World Bee Day to celebrate the pollinators (传粉昆虫) dwelling in hives, fields and gardens around the globe since 2015. It draws much concern on bees and there’s a good reason to pay attention to them.

“There are 20,000 species of bees around the world and a lot of these bees are in decline,” says Hien Ngo, a pollinator expert from the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization. That includes honeybees, of course, but Ngo says they only make up a minority of all the kinds of bees in the world. Climate change, pesticides and habitat loss are putting many of those species a risk.

“Bees really provide for us in many ways, like food and human well-being. They’re also important to our culture, dating back thousands of years in terms of heritage, inspiration of art,” Ngo says. They even provide inspiration for TikTok, where Erika Thompson，a professional beekeeper in Austin,Texas, shares her work.

“The landlord wanted to call an exterminator (根除者), but the family who lived here wanted to save the bees, so they called me,” she says in her video.

Her fans watch with happiness — and sometimes a little horror-as she picks up mounds (成堆) of bees with her bare hands and then moves them somewhere safer.

“I’ve removed bees from a lot of crazy places,” Thompson says. “You know, I’ve removed bees from homes, RVs, tires, speakers and even a toilet.”

Thompson’s work is about more than getting millions of views per video. “Bees are just a key factor in creating diverse and healthy ecosystems,” she notes.

【1】What can we know about World Bee Day?

A．It has a long history of hundreds of years.

B．It is celebrated on May 22 every year.

C．It is designated by the United Kingdom.

D．People pay more attention to bees because of it.

A．The change of climate.

B．The shortage of food.

C．The damage to their habitat.

D．The application of pesticides.

【3】What’s Ngo’s attitude towards celebrating World Bee Day?

A．Unconcerned.

B．Neutral (中立的).

C．Negative.

D．Supportive.

【4】What’s the best title for the text?

A．A Video-on Bees

B．How to Celebrate World Bee Day?

C．Why Should We Celebrate World Bee Day?

D．How Can We Human Beings Protect Bees?

27、If you’re someone who looks in the mirror every day and concentrates only on any minor flaw (缺陷), you’re not alone. For many people, struggling with body image issues is a continuous battle.

“How hostile (恶意的) is the world to unattractive girls?” became a popular topic on Sina Weibo in March.

The topic met with agreement among many girls who shared their personal experiences. One internet user talked about how her friends would often cut her image out of group pictures because they thought she was too fat. What became clear was that this feeling of insecurity and distance was all too common.

What promotes this anxiety among young people?

As the country’s economy has developed rapidly, people are easier to be influenced by what others think of them, noted CGTN.

Greater time spent online also means greater exposure to advertisements promoting “paper-thin waists” or “chopstick legs”. Such unrealistic ideals only further young people’s anxiety and lead to an unhealthy mindset of perfectionism.

The anxiety over appearance and shape has pushed some people into physical and mental illness. According to Beat, the UK’s leading eating disorder charity, the idealization of thinness is a key factor in worsening the illness and preventing recovery. Some people even go through surgery just to achieve what they believe society considers “beautiful”.

But beauty doesn’t come from a makeup brush or a thinner waist. Growing taller and having perfect skin isn’t the solution to insecurity. The fact that every person is different is something to be celebrated.

A line from China’s first female monologue (独白剧) drama called Hear Her says it perfectly: “I am not perfect. Perfection is dull. I am perfect when I fully realize myself.”

【1】What is a cause of young people’s anxiety about their body image according to the text?

A．The standard promoted by some media.

B．The fierce competition they face.

C．The struggle they have experienced.

D．Their desire for easier success.

【2】According to Beat, what plays a leading role in worsening people’s illness related to the anxiety over appearance and shape?

A．The feeling of insecurity.

B．Other people’s opinions.

C．The desire for thinness.

D．The popularity of plastic surgery.

【3】According to the text, what can people do to ease anxiety related to body image?

A．Have plastic surgery.

B．Accept their differences.

C．Work to realize their dream.

D．Stop wearing makeup.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A．Avoid Misleading Advertisements

B．Stop Wearing Makeup

C．Improve Yourself

D．Celebrate Imperfection

28、Scientists have found living organisms(有机体) that could be 50,000 years old recently. The organisms were found in a hot, but beautiful cave system in Naica, Mexico. These ancient life forms can be seen only with a microscope, which proves they are probably microbes(微生物).

Penelope Boston leads the Astrobiology Institute at NASA, the space agency of the United States. These ancient organisms are able to exist by eating minerals such as iron and manganese. If the findings are confirmed, they will show how microbes can survive in extreme conditions.

Researchers have been studying ancient microbes for nine years. Forty different kinds of microbes and some viruses were found in the underground area this time. The genetic(基因的) structures of these organisms are different from those of their nearest relatives –viruses. That is similar to that humans are genetically different from mushrooms growing in forest. The caves in Naica are 800 kilometers deep. Before the miners began working in the caves, the area was isolated from the surface and the outside world.

Some of the caves are as big as the large religious centers built during Europe’s Middle Ages. There are crystals(晶体) covering the walls. Scientists must wear special clothing to keep cool. And the clothing keeps the crystals safe from human germs or other damage. The researchers could only work for about 20 minutes at a time before they have to go to a room that is 28 degrees Celsius to cool down.

NASA officials would not let Boston share her findings with scientific experts until the last week’s announcement. So scientists could not say much about the findings. But Norine Noonan, a biologist at the University of South Florida, said she believed them. “Why are we surprised?” Noonan asked, “As a biologist, I would say life on Earth is extremely tough and versatile.” “What’s more, these organisms are not the oldest life forms on Earth. Scientists published studies about living microbes that may be 500,000 years old several years ago,” she added.

【1】What do these ancient life forms survive on?

A. Plants.

B. Organisms.

C. Viruses.

D. Minerals.

【2】What’s the author’s purpose of mentioning the example of humans and mushrooms?

A. To prove the ancient organisms are close to mushrooms.

B. To show the area was once cut off from the outside world.

C. To explain the ancient organisms and viruses are different in genes.

D. To show the ancient organisms found differ from humans in genes.

【3】Why could the researchers only stay for a short time in the caves at a time?

A. Because crystals tee damage people’s health.

B. Because the caves are full of harmful gases.

C. Because there are some germs in the caves.

D. Because the caves are very hot.

【4】What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. A beautiful cave system was discovered in Naica.

B. The ancient life forms are too small to be seen.

C. 50,000-year-old living organisms were found in Mexico.

D. Researchers find new ways to study living organisms.

29、Urban Transportation in Canada

Public transportation & Transit passes

All cities and most major towns in Canada have a public transportation system with one or more modes of transportation (bus, subway, train, etc.). The bus is the most common form of urban transportation in Canada. To use public transportation, you must purchase a ticket or a transit pass. Transit passes allow you unlimited use of public transportation for a specific period (one month or more). They are usually cheaper than buying many tickets if you plan to use public transportation often.

Transportation for people with disabilities

Public transportation often has features to assist people with disabilities. In many cities and towns, there are also transportation services available specifically for people with limited mobility, such as specially equipped buses. You can find out about these services in the same way you would learn more about other public transportation options.

Etiquette on public transportation

When taking public transportation such as a bus or train, it is important to understand the unspoken rules of conduct in the shared space. Here are a few things to note:

◆ Be polite and respectful to others around you. For example, maintain an appropriate noise level when talking or making a phone call.

◆ If you are carrying a backpack or a large shoulder bag in a crowded public transit vehicle, keep it close to you, preferably at your feet to avoid hitting people with it as you walk by.

◆ Avoid pushing or touching others in order to make more room for yourself. Sometimes public transit can become very crowded, but it is important to keep calm and give others appropriate personal space.

◆ Have your proof of payment accessible in case you are asked to show it.

【1】What is the advantages of using transit passes over buying tickets?

A．Lower costs.

B．Safer trips.

C．Longer service hours.

D．More use of transport.

【2】How does the transportation system help people with disabilities?

A．By offering fewer transportation options.

B．By running special transport services.

C．By limiting their mobility on city buses.

D．By providing free rides in towns and cities.

【3】What is considered impolite on public transportation?

A．Lowering your speaking voice.

B．Placing backpacks at your feet.

C．Having your proof of payment at hand.

D．Staying close to other passengers.

30、I’m not a musician. I haven’t been playing the same sport for 10 years, either. I grew up jumping from activity to activity, trying nearly every sport under the sun.

I would experience phases of being into something, whether it was magic tricks or _________ a new language, but it would always _________ as I moved onto a new interest. This left me with nothing to show for my sometimes years-long _________. Therefore, I always felt terrible about this. I never got the _________ to carve out skills in anything I took up. I felt like I _________ time and money on these short activities. _________, I stopped looking into new activities because what’s the point?

I now realize this is total nonsense. I did musical theater as a kid, but _________ after entering high school because I had too many other activities. However, those years that I spent learning how to project my voice _________ me to love public speaking. I then joined Model United Nations, which _________ me to take a political science course. I tried my __________ at nearly every style of dance. Because of my background in dance, I was able to learn the more __________ skills a little easier.

We love the activities we do because they are vehicles of self-expression. Our hobbies are a(n) __________ of who we are. Old flames can lead to new passions. __________ is never a waste of time, just because that something I like won’t __________ or obviously lead to money or fame doesn’t mean it’s not worth anything. It’s never too late to __________ something new if it makes your happier.
