26、In the last two weeks, the only things that have been thrown by Esther Penarrubia have been a broken toy, an old T-shirt used to clean shoes, a balloon from a party and the backing from a sheet of stickers. Ms Penarrubia, who has a PhD in agricultural engineering, realized that her lifestyle was called “zero waste” after watching a TED talk in November 2015.

It was when Ms Penarrubia moved house that she decided to remove single-use plastic from her life to reduce her family’s waste and thus changed her lifestyle.

Bulk (批量) buying, reusing old materials, searching second-hand shops and minimizing products which use plastic have been the key factor to her lifestyle, which sees her family send just one piece of rubbish to landfill every fortnight. Ms Penarrubia tries to remove all plastic products but if she does purchase any, like olive oil, she will bulk buy in a five-litre bottle and will recycle when finished. This also applies to cleaning products. Glass jars and containers are repurposed after use and kitchen leftovers go in the compost (堆肥) bin. The family grow their own tomatoes, cabbages, broccoli and herbs at home and also have orange and apple trees, while she buys fresh fruit, vegetables and bread in bulk from local suppliers for the week.

Ms Penarrubia believes changing to a zero-waste lifestyle is easier and cheaper than per-ceived, but admits the challenging part in convincing others that it can be achievable. She said, “If you think and organize your buying habits, consume less things from better quality, choose reusable alternatives, buy everything you can in quantity from the second-hand market—then it’s not more expensive and you can save money. “Zero waste” culture doesn’t only consist of the reduction of our waste, it involves a more conscious lifestyle and way of consumption.

【1】What has Esther thrown during the past two weeks？

A．A balloon and an old T-shirt.

B．A broken toy and a pair of shoes.

C．An old T-shirt and some stickers.

D．A balloon and some glass containers.

【2】When did Esther begin to live a zero waste life？

A．Two weeks ago.

B．After watching a TED talk.

C．When moving into the new home.

D．After running a second-hand shop.

【3】How did Esther live a lifestyle of zero waste？

A．By eating less.

B．By running a second-hand shop.

C．By recycling and shopping smartly.

D．By making all the daily goods by herself.

【4】What does Esther think of practicing the zero waste？

A．It’s too expensive.

B．It’s within easy reach.

C．It’s unlikely to work.

D．It’s much more demanding.

27、   Just weeks after Boris Johnson was suffering with coronavirus( 冠状病毒) in an ICU at St Thomas’ hospital, the prime minister is due to go back to work on Monday.

“I’ve today left the hospital after a week in which the National Health Service have saved my life, no question.”

Infected with COVID-19, the prime minister spent 3 days in the ICU and a week in the hospital. Since he left hospital, Mr. Johnson has been recovering at the prime minister’s stately home, Chequers. He has been holding calls but not taking decisions or working on official business.

The US president Donald Trump also confirmed the prime minister was recovering after receiving a phone call from him.

“He sounded incredible. I was actually surprised. I thought he’d be like. oh, Donald, how are... He was ready to go. I’m very surprised. The old Boris. Great energy, great drive.”

The US President’s comments echo Health Secretary Matt Hancock, who today confirmed Boris Johnson was in high spirits.

“He’s in good shape. And I’m sure he’ll come back as soon as doctors recommended.”

Since Boris Johnson was infected with coronavirus and has been in recovery, Dominic Raab took the role of acting Prime Minister , making decisions when the prime minister could not.

Downing Street said yesterday: " The prime minister is continuing his recovery at Chequers. He spoke with Dominic Raab yesterday, and had an audience with the Queen by phone last night. He is being sent regular updates on the government business, but he isn’t still doing Government work.”

28、   NEW YORK—Women are now as likely to use the Internet as men--about two-thirds of both genders(性别)--yet a new study shows that gaps remain in what each sex does online.

American men who go online are more likely than women to check the weather, the news, sports, political and financial information, the Pew Internet and American Life Project reported Wednesday. They are also more likely to use the Internet to download music and software and to take a class.

Online women, meanwhile, are bigger users of e-mail, and they are also more likely to go online for religious information and support for health or personal problems.

“For men, it's just, 'Give me the facts',” said Deborah Fallows, who wrote the report based on six years of Pew surveys. “For women, it's 'Let's talk about this. Are you worried about this problem? ' It’s keeping in touch and connecting with people in a richer way.”

About two-thirds of the 6,403 adults surveyed by Pew during 2005 said they use the Internet. By gender, it was 68 per cent of the male respondents(调查对象), and 66 per cent of the female participants－a statistically insignificant difference given the study's margin of sampling error (误差幅度) of plus or minus 2 percentage points.

In 2002, by contrast, the gap was slightly larger: 61 per cent vs. 57 per cent.

The surveys find that for many activities, such as getting travel information or looking up a phone number, men and women are equally likely to use the Internet.

【1】Where can we read the passage?

A.A daily paper. B.A magazine. C.An advertisement. D.A survey.

【2】In which way do men use the Internet as much as women do?

A.Checking the sports information. B.Downloading music.

C.Taking a class. D.Getting travel information.

【3】Which is Deborah Fallows' opinion?

A.Men care about facts while women don't care about facts.

B.Men pay more attention to the result while women the process.

C.Men don't like to communicate with people while women like to connect with people.

D.Men are cold while women are enthusiastic.

29、Blind Olympic Athletes Show the Universal Nature

Tune into any sports coverage on TV, and you will see many athletes proudly raise their arms and heads in victory, while a much larger number hang their shoulders and necks in defeat. Studies have revealed why—they are universal behaviours, performed by humans in response to success and failure.

The discovery came from Jessica Tracy from the University of British Columbia and David Matsumoto from San Francisco State University, who wanted to see how people showed feelings of pride and shame. 【1】 They tried to find a large group of people, and it was critically important that some of these subjects had never seen other people reacting to success or failure before.

The answer was Athens, during the 2004 Olympic Games. Its sister competition—the Paralympics—included many athletes who were born blind. 【2】 Working with a professional photographer, Tracy and Matsumoto compared the body language of 108 competitors, 41 of whom had lost their sight, and 12 of whom were blind from birth. The photographer repeatedly took pictures of these athletes after their competitions, and the researchers carefully recorded the positions of their heads, arms and bodies. 【3】 The winners tilted their heads up, smiled, lifted their arms and puffed out their chests, while shoulders bent forward and narrowed chests were the marks of losers.

【4】 Men and women who have never seen other people behave in these ways still make exactly the same movements. And while it’s possible that parents may have taught their blind children some of these actions, it’s very unlikely that they could have taught them all—particularly the expansion or narrowing of the chest.

These actions were also remarkably consistent between contestants from every part of the world. Tracy and Matsumoto argue that pride and shame deserve a place alongside other primary emotions like happiness, fear and surprise. 【5】

A．They are inborn behaviours and are accompanied by their own distinct sets of actions.

B．In fact, the culture was found to have only a very small effect on their body language.

C．Therefore, they could not have witnessed how other people reacted to winning and losing.

D．The result suggested that the athletes were showing their pride based on careful observation.

E．The athletes’ behaviours give strong evidence that they have had the actions naturally since birth.

F．Analyzing the data, they found that the sighted and sightless athletes behaved in almost exactly the same ways.

G．In particular, they wanted to know whether these expressions were culturally determined and learned through observation.

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

“Life of Pi” is narrated by an older Pi and takes place in the present as he tells his life story to a writer. Pi begins with how he got his name and how his family owned a zoo, but eventually leads into his family needing to leave India for financial 【1】. The heart of the story lies in Pi as a young man and the time he spent out at sea on a lifeboat with a tiger named Richard Parker, but getting to that point is quite an ordeal（苦难考验）. Pi loses everything and everyone close to him in the blink of an eye and he doesn’t 【2】 on making what feels like an unbreakable bond with a Bengal tiger.

The 【3】 film offers a rather marvelous message about religion as Pi discusses the experimentation with several different religions as a young boy. Even though it seems kind of silly that a boy has 【4】 so many religions at one point in his life, it portrays a/an 【5】 message in a light that doesn’t seem too preachy（说教的）. But the religious aspect is really only a backdrop for being on your own 【6】 to finding who you really are. Feeling so alone for so long and having Pi talk about not being alone and not getting to say goodbye to those he cared about most is one of those things that just hits you really hard.

While witnessing Pi attempt to tame Richard Parker is really 【7】, there are so many unbelievable sights to witness in “Life of Pi”. There’s the whale, the jellyfish, the flying fish, that 【8】 storm, and that seaweed island with all of the meerkats (a kind of monkey). “Life of Pi” never really lets up on being 【9】 breathtaking and amazing from beginning to end.

“Life of Pi” is pleasantly satisfying. With a heartfelt message, beautiful visuals, and stunning camera work. “Life of Pi” is truly a sight to behold and illustrates how 【10】 3D can be to a film that isn’t just a summer hit or blockbuster.
