二、阅读理解(共4题,共 20分)

21、It may not come as a surprise but the world as a whole is getting richer. Some people have more disposable(可支配的) income to spend on luxuries such as holidays, cars, TVs and smartphones. Recent data has shown that the number of people living in extreme poverty(贫穷) has halved in recent decades. So should we celebrate the fact that more of us now have a better standard of living?

Maybe not. Whilst the gap between rich and poor in some countries is narrowing, there is still a lot of inequality in other places-some people have a lot of money and opportunities and others don't. A recent report by Oxfam and Credit Suisse revealed how divided many of us are when it comes to wealth. A lot of the money in the world is in the hands of very few people. In fact, 48% of global wealth is owned by the richest 1% of the population.

But some countries are attempting to reduce this inequality and make the poor, less poor. According to David Bryer from Oxfam, Brazil has been taking "some really sensible measures-measures around having more progressive(逐步发展的) tax, around investing in a higher minimum wage and investing in central public services." Having a higher minimum wage, can help people eat better and seek a better education. And more people with more money buy more things-and factories can produce more. In turn, a factory which produces more will need more workers. So, more jobs are created.

Other wealthy individuals are doing their bit to help reduce inequality. Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, earned a lot of money from his company but when he retired, he and his wife Melinda, created a foundation to help the poor. He thinks that rich people should, of course, pay their taxes but he also advises that they should all "look at taking their wealth and being philanthropic, both in their own country and to help the global poorest."

Bill Gates feels that giving money to help poor people is "fulfilling". But if other super-rich people don't want to experience this fulfilment then, according to Oxfam, very soon the wealthiest 1% will soon own more money than the rest of the world's population.

1According to a recent report by Oxfam and Credit Suisse, .

A. the gap between the rich and the poor is widening gradually

B. increased wealth helps people to reduce the inequality

C. people should be happy about the world’s getting richer

D. a small number of people possesses the major wealth

2What the author’s attitude towards Brazil’s measures?

A. Cautious   B. Approving

C. Doubtful   D. Critical

3What is the meaning of the underlines word “philanthropic”?

A. Merciful   B. Responsible

C. Realistic   D. Broadminded

4The author develops the article mainly by .

A. comparing opinions from different fields

B. listing detailed numbers and analyzing them

C. presenting a trend and analyzing its cause and effect

D. presenting research findings and giving some examples

 

22、WE FOUND A FIX

1. Get Free Support

Just want someone to talk to? At 7cups.com, you can connect with a trained “active listener” for free, completely confidential advice. Choose a listener based on location and life experience, or let the site assign someone to you for an instant conversation.

2. Clip Virtual Coupons

Look for coupon codes on retailer and cash-back websites. Just google the brand name and “promo code” to find the latest offerings. And who says that when you snooze (打盹), you lose? Sometimes leaving items in your shopping cart can add up to savings. You might get a pop-up with a coupon code to tempt you to purchase what’s there or an e-mail in your inbox with a discount offer.

3. Cut Your Tax Bill

Does anyone want to hear about taxes? Maybe not. But in this unusual year (the first time in history that the federal tax deadline has been extended to July 15), it pays to stay on top of things. The irs.gov website is surprisingly easy to navigate, and there’s a link on the home page to the IRS’s coronavirus tax-relief programs.

4. Remove Stubborn Food Stains

Got unattractive coffee and tea stains on a pot, or mug? Pick up some denture (假牙) cleaner. Dissolve one tablet per two cups of hot water, pour it into the stained vessel, and let it sit for several hours. Then use a scrub brush to clean off the stains and any loosened bits. Pour the solution out and rinse thoroughly.

5. Save Texting Time

One lesser-known secret to typing on your phone: Double-tap the space bar on the keyboard when you finish a sentence. Doing so adds a period and a space—and automatically capitalizes the next letter you type to start your next sentence.

6. Preserve Your Fragrances

If you wish the scent of your eau de toilette or cologne lasted longer, store it in the fridge. “Growing up, I’d always see my grandmother’s in the fridge, and she told me it kept the fragrance longer and felt refreshing on the skin,” says TV style expert Hilary Kennedy. “I love keeping mine cool, especially during the summer and fall months.” Take note: Very cold temperatures can upset the balance of some delicate perfumes.

【1】Michael, who values efficiency most, can _________________.

A.turn to a trained listener at 7cups.com for free advice

B.look for coupon codes online to find the latest offerings

C.apply for tax-cut on the government’s website this year

D.double-tap the space bar on the phone when texting

【2】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A.If perfume is preserved in the fridge at very cold temperature, its fragrance will last longer.

B.Brushing the stain soon after applying the denture cleaner can remove the stubborn one.

C.Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the government has prolonged the tax deadline and cut taxes.

D.Leaving items in shopping carts helps you save as you can re-consider if they are worth buying.

【3】The purpose of this passage is to __________________.

A.teach people how to deal with emergency

B.arouse people’s interest in fixing problems

C.offer tricks to help improve people’s life

D.inform people of the latest scientific findings

23、   In more ways than one, Toronto is given far less credit than it really deserves. But Toronto has its own reasons to pull you in. The city is ever changing and some new attractions pop up every year.

CN Tower

The CN Tower is a symbol of Toronto. It’s a concrete observation and communications tower that goes over 500 meters high. The adventure of walking on an outdoor platform that sticks out from the very top part of the tower for those healthy adults is attractive. It has pulled in crowds from all over the world—the EdgeWalk.

Toronto Zoo

Going out with kids? Then treat them to a fun and educational time at the Toronto Zoo. It is home to over 5,000 animals and constantly gets new arrivals. Among the newest comers are two Chinese pandas. For adventurous families, a visit there is not all about seeing animals. It’s a unique experience where you and your kids get to fly over wolves and bears.

Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada

Located right by the base of the CN Tower and packed with unforgettable fun sights, Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada will thrill adults and young ones alike. It hosts thousands of animals that you can get to see close, including rare sea animals, such as sharks, jellyfish, and rays.

Kensington Market

The diversity of the food there will delight any taste. This is where you will find popular cuisines from different parts of the world. You can enjoy Venezuelan, Chinese, Italian dishes, and more. The experienced cooks will give you something you have never eaten before, by combining dishes from different traditions.

【1】Which place is recommended for adventure­loving parents and children?

24、All living things need clean, fresh water to survive. Ninety-seven percent of the water on Earth is in the ocean. The salt in the ocean water makes it unusable for drinking. Another two percent is frozen in the ice caps and glaciers on the Earth. This leaves one percent of the water on Earth available for us to use. 【1】 Where you live, the amount of rain that falls, and how water is collected and reserved all affect the amount of cool, clear water available.

One factor that we can’t change is where it will rain. The amount of rain an area receives affects the amount of water available for use. Some major cities are located in areas where they can get water from the ground. Other areas use surface water from lakes, rivers, or streams. 【2】

According to a study done by the state of California, the average person uses over one hundred gallons of water per day. Water is used for drinking, taking a shower or bath, brushing teeth, washing hands, cleaning dishes, doing laundry, and flushing toilets. Using water wisely is important.

【3】 Today, we have many helpful tools to help us save water. There are low-flow shower heads and faucets(水龙头), dishwashers and washing machines that use up to 50% less water, and toilets that use only one-third of the water that they did a few years ago. Installing these items in your home is the first line of defense against wasting water.

There are many other ways you can help. Don’t leave the water running when you brush your teeth. Take a shower rather than a bath. 【4】 If you find one, let your parents know. A good way to have cool water available all the time is to keep a pitcher in the fridge. This way you won’ have to wait for the water in the pipes to bring you colder water to drink. Only run your clothes washer and dishwasher when they are full. This can save hundreds of gallons of water a year.

【5】 Learning to use it wisely will ensure that it will always be available. So, make a fuss and conserve water. It’s worth it!

A.It’s also important to fix leaky faucets.

B.Water is an important natural resource.

C.All of these will help to conserve water.

D.There are many factors that affect the amount of water available for you.

E.No matter where you live, there are many ways you can help conserve water.

F.Those places with no water readily available must pipe water in from far away.

G.No matter where we live, we must be careful with the water we have in our part of the world.
