26、Who has never made a mistake? The answer is, of course, no one.

【1】They are an important part of the learning process. However, regretting our mistakes for a long time is not healthy. We need to learn from them and then move on.

One of America's most famous writers and thinkers, Ralph Waldo Emerson, said it much better than I can.

"【2】 You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities (荒谬) no doubt crept in. Forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered (拖累) with your old nonsense."

When Emerson says "blunders and absurdities", he simply means mistakes. 【3】 However, to be "encumbered" is the opposite. This means to be heavy and loaded down with things. To Emerson, those "things" are past mistakes, or as he calls them, "Your old nonsense".

【4】 When we worry about something, we think about it constantly. It becomes a distraction (分心的事) and keeps us from moving forward.

There is another shorter sentence which can help you move on and forget your past mistakes—"Don't cry over spilt milk."

When we "cry over spilt milk", we are sad about something bad we have done. This is another way of saying "What is done is done." 【5】 You cannot change the past. So stop thinking about it.

So if you are still unhappy about one of your mistakes, it is time to let it go. Making a mistake is not a big deal, but being worried about a mistake is really a big mistake.

A．Don't make foolish mistakes.

B．It means a terrible problem in life.

C．Finish each day and be done with it.

D．Mistakes are not just a part of life.

E．If you spill milk, you cannot put it back in the bottle.

F．To do something filled with peaceful feelings is to do something "serenely".

G．Many people use this quote (引用) to remind themselves not to keep thinking about the past.

27、   We all know that regular exercise is very important for both a healthy mind and body. Research has shown that just five minutes of exercise in a "green space" can help people to keep mentally healthy.

Let's take a look at some ways to get close to nature and make them a part of your regular exercise routine(常规).

Get on your bike. Cycling is a cheap, easy and fun way to get some good exercise in the outdoors. Try leaving your car at home and cycling to work one day, if that's possible. Check out the local cycle paths before you go, and plan a safe route. Make sure you take some healthy snacks with you to keep your energy levels up.

Try some outdoor yoga(瑜伽). Practicing yoga can be great for reducing anxiety and aiding relaxation. Yoga is great for stretching(伸展)tight muscles and increasing flexibility as well as improving mobility(活动性), control and breathing. Why not finish your practice with some quiet meditation(冥想) to further calm the mind?

Go running. Instead of spending hours on the treadmill(跑步机), grab a friend and go off for a jog (慢跑)around your local park, or some nature paths. If you are used to running on a treadmill, you may find it harder at first, so, make sure you have some good, supportive running shoes.

【1】What should you do if you want to cycle in the outdoors?

A.Checking the bikes. B.Making good preparations.

C.Learning survival skills. D.Having a healthy body.

【2】Which of the following is not the advantage of trying some outdoor yoga according to the passage?

A.Losing weight. B.Increasing physical flexibility.

C.Keeping active and energetic. D.Feeling relaxed or peaceful.

【3】What problem do some people have if they want to run on a treadmill?

A.It leads them to fall behind their friends.

B.It needs some patience to continue.

C.It takes them some time to get used to it.

D.It makes them lose interest in running.

【4】What does the passage mainly tell us?

A.The process of outdoor sports. B.The ways of regular exercise.

C.The choices of joining groups. D.The benefits of green exercise.

28、The days start to warm up and daylight lasts longer. 【1】 You should, by now, be seeing spring arriving in your garden, with new growth on your trees and bushes.

With the sun shining stronger, its warmth can be felt and the plants respond according. 【2】 So you need to make sure that you remove them before they take hold. Treat where you can and dig up where you can’t, remember that any treatments you do use keep your pets out of the garden for the correct amount of time. We wouldn’t want them to get poorly!

If you have trees to plant then make sure you give them enough of a top dress with compost (堆肥) or manure (粪肥), to ensure the take to their new homes. 【3】 If not, you can always head to your local garden centre to top up your supplies! And why not pick up more flowers while you’re there for your hanging pots or window sills?

【4】 There are a variety of summer-flowering bulbs that can also be grown in pots, hanging baskets and other containers, to brighten up a rock garden. In fact, if you plant your bulbs in a container that’s a few sizes smaller than looks comfortable, it’ll help them to burst into bloom. 【5】

So, what will you be planting out in the garden? I have a few bulbs to get ready to go into the ground, what’s your favorite flower to plant at this time of year?

A．It’s a good idea to try different plants.

B．If you only have small space, don’t worry.

C．If you are not well prepared, it doesn’t matter.

D．Sadly, the weeds are also beginning to come up.

E．You know that means early flowers for indoors!

F．If you are able to use your own home-made- fertilizer then do so.

G．Therefore, it’s time to get out in the garden and plant some plants.

29、Over the course of 16 months, the family of 16 Asian elephants crop-destroyed, mud-bathed, and road-tripped 300 miles north to the provincial capital of Kunming. Along the way they became global celebrities --- and presented a conundrum for government officials. The elephants caused about a half million dollars worth of damage.

The simple answer would be to tranquilize (使镇定)the elephants and transport them back to the reserve.

But that would be risky for this group, especially the three little ones. Instead, officials took measures --- providing tons of corn and bananas, setting up road barriers, and making new pathways --- which ultimately involved tens of thousands of people at a cost equal to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

In a year torn by climate change, conflict, and COVID -19, some might argue that going to extremes to keep a family of elephants safe was wasteful. They might say the same about searching for an undiscovered species of frog or building new museums.

But conserving our natural and human heritage --- like efforts to cure disease and stop war --- is about doing good in the world. We need wildlife and ancient objects, just as we need health and peace. They’re our past, present, and future.

Conservation efforts have been bright spots in an otherwise dark year. That’s not to say the biodiversity crisis has passed. Plant and animal species are still disappearing at an alarming rate.

“I am scared about the state of nature because the threats are increasing ,” says Gladys Kalema -Zikusoka, founder of Conservation Through Public Health , but “I am hopeful because the extreme weather patterns we are experiencing and the shock of COVID -19 are leading to a heightened awareness about these risks and the need to do something about them .”

It’s still not clear why the elephants left their home, but one theory is that as elephant numbers in Yunnan Province have increased, the animals have needed to expand their territory.

That could be considered good news for this endangered species. But the story of the elephants demonstrates something else too: that the world we created and the world nature created are closely bound, for better or for worse.

【1】What does the underlined part “a conundrum ” in paragraph 1 mean?

A．A tough problem.

B．A terrible accident.

C．A difficult decision.

D．A serious mistake.

【2】What does the author say about keeping the elephants safe?

A．It’s a waste of time and money.

B．It’s significant for humankind.

C．It obviously goes to extremes.

D．It sets an example for the world.

【3】Why does Gladys Kalema - Zikusoka voice hope?

A．Plant and animal species are growing.

B．Public awareness of key issues has increased.

C．Endangered animals face declining threats.

D．People are more experienced in handling risks.

【4】What does the author mainly intend to tell us?

A．Mankind and nature face a shared future.

B．We should remember our past, present, and future.

C．Nature reflects who we are.

D．Mankind should give way to nature.

A total of 33 people — many of them young — were killed a day earlier when a man 【3】 to douse flammable liquid through the Kyoto Animation Co. studio and set it alight, 【4】 an inferno, officials said. Some 36 others were injured, about 10 critically.

32、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事．

Last year at Christmas time, my wife, three children and I were on our way from Paris to Nice. Somehow everything went wrong. Our hotels were “tourist traps” and our rented car broke down. On Christmas Eve, when we checked into a dirty hotel in Nice, there was no Christmas spirit in our hearts.

It was raining and cold when we went out to eat. We found a small restaurant poorly decorated for the holiday. Only five tables in the restaurant were taken. There were two German couples, two French families, and an American sailor, by himself. They were eating in stony silence except the sailor. He was writing a letter, and a half-smile lighted his face. In the corner a piano player was listlessly (无精打采地) playing Christmas music.

All of us were interrupted by an old French flower woman through the front door. She had a worn overcoat and her old shoes were wet. Carrying her basket of flowers, she went from one table to another. No one bought any. Exhausted and frustrated, she sat down at a table.

The sailor finished his meal and got up to leave. Putting on his coat, he walked over to the flower woman's table.

“Merry Christmas,” he said, smiling and picking out a handful of flowers. “How much are they?”

“Two francs, sir.”

The sailor put a twenty franc note in the woman’s hand.

“I don't have change, sir, ” she said. “I'll get some from the waiter.”

“No, ma'am, ” said the sailor, leaning over and kissing the ancient cheek. “This is my Christmas present for you.”
