21、   On a warm day in sunny St, Petersburg, Florida, John Joyce put on his hat and headed outside. He pulled his push mower and started walking down his driveway, into the street and then he just kept going. He walked mile after mile as the sun hit his back, stopping along the way to mow the lawns of his customers, who smiled and said hello to him

His customers were very happy to see John. For some, he had been cutting their grass for over 20 years. Everyone knew John was a dependable and hard-working man.

What his customers didn't know was that John’s truck stopped working a few months back. Unable to fix it, the 83-year-old man with arthritis started walking to the homes of his customers. He would walk 5-6 miles each day, just to make sure everyone was taken care of. That’s just the kind of man he was. Robert Norton, one of John’s customers explained, “John is a simple man with a heart of gold.”

So when Robert and his newly-wed wife, Nikki, learned that John was walking to work, they knew it was time to do something for him. They started a GoFundMe page, giving some of the money they’d received from their wedding to kick it off. In a few weeks they successfully raised $13, 000. It was enough to buy John a truck from a used-car dealer, buy him a new lawn mower and pay for gas!

John was very moved by the generosity shown to him. Not surprisingly, once the celebration was complete, John drove off the lot, and headed off to mow lawns!

【1】Why did John walk to mow the lawns for his customers?

A.He favored walking to work. B.He had to pull his push mower.

C.His truck didn’t work. D.The weather was fine.

【2】What does the underlined words “kick off” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A.Buy. B.Hit. C.Assist. D.Begin.

【3】How did Robert help John out?

A.By helping him to mow lawns. B.By repairing his truck.

C.By collecting money for him. D.By taking care of him.

【4】What does the story mainly tell us?

A.God help those who help themselves. B.Goodness will have a good reward.

C.A friend in need is a friend indeed. D.Where there is a will, there is a way.

22、   How do you relax after a stressful day in the office? There are many ways to help you get relaxed, but the best solution, according to some experts, lies in the great outdoors. It takes a little effort to get there but the benefits can be a perfect tonic for our stressed-out lives. I am talking about the activity of forest bathing.

The Japanese concept of shinrin-yoku – or forest bathing – originates from the 1980s, when it was introduced as a national health program by the country’s government. Stressed Japanese workers are today still relaxing and reconnecting with nature. The Forest Therapy(治疗) Society has certified 62 forest therapy sites in the country and the forest bathing movement is also gathering momentum in other parts of the world. It says: "Just as bathing in a hot spring helps to soak your cares away, going for a walk in the woods is said to have a soothing effect."

If you’re worried that bathing involves stripping off your clothes, don’t be! This is about taking time to wander through woodland with no fixed plan or route and just immerse yourself in the forest atmosphere. Some health experts have said that having this exposure to nature seems to promote well-being and that’s particularly good for people with mental health issues. A study conducted in 24 forests across Japan found that walking among trees lowered blood pressure, the pulse rate, and the levels of the hormone cortisol, which is released in response to stress. It also found phytoncides – chemicals emitted by trees – have an anti-microbial effect on humans, improving our immune systems.

Another study carried out a few years ago by Stanford University in the US, found similar benefits. Brain scans showed reduced activity in an area of the brain linked to the risk of mental illness in participants who took a 90-minute walk among oaks, birds and squirrels. One of the researchers, Gregory Bratman, told the BBC: "There's an increasing body of evidence showing that natural versus urban areas benefit us at least emotionally with our mood and possibly also our cognitive(认知的) development too.” The evidence seems clear that forest bathing is a shot in the arm for stressed-out workers, so now is the time to get out and lose yourself in the natural environment – you could even hug a tree as it could be your new best friend!

【1】What is the passage mainly about?

A．The benefits of forest bathing

B．The present situation of the forest bathing therapy globally

C．The origin and development of forest bathing in Japan

D．The preparations it needs to go forest bathing

【2】Which is Not true about forest bathing according to the passage?

A．It is a casual walk without focus in the woodland.

B．It was first intended for those stressed-out office workers.

C．It involves nothing special but complete exposure to the environment.

D．It originated as a national health program to improve people’s health in Japan.

【3】What can we learn from the two studies?

A．Some chemicals released by trees harm our immune system.

B．Forest walking is particularly good for those with mental illnesses.

C．How forest bathing benefits people physically and mentally.

D．The hormone cortisol is released to deal with stress.

【4】What does the last paragraph tell us?

A．Being in nature for a while helps people get refreshed.

B．The brain would become less active after a 90-minute walk in forest.

C．Forest bathing absolutely improves people’s cognitive development.

D．Both natural and urban areas are mentally beneficial to people.

24、While in quarantine (隔离) at his home in Shanghai’s Hongkou district, Hua Rongqi, 21, a student from the University of International Business and Economics in Bejing (UIBE) , created a document on March 30 after seeing Shanghai residents asking for medical help on social media platforms.

He has not slept much since then, staying busy updating the document and cooperating with other volunteers trying to secure medical resources. By April 10, nearly 1,700 people had logged their information on the document, mostly patients with cancer, diabetes and kidney failure who needed access to treatments, according to Hua. To help relieve privacy concerns, people who sign up only provide their phone numbers and treatment needs. Once the needs are addressed, the patients’ information is deleted from the document.

More and more volunteers joined his team, and the number of volunteers quickly grew to about 200, most of whom were university students. They maintain and update the document with information such as which hospitals are still offering outpatient services (门诊服务) and how people have managed to receive medical treatment Their main tasks are to call the people in need to check their information, call workers to learn about the specific pandemic control measures in communities, and contact hospitals.

“What we are doing is providing an information center for these people, who often feel lost and helpless in such difficult situations,” said Hua. By calling hospitals and community workers and gathering information, the volunteers strive to share what they learn with those in need. “The medical needs of more than 600 people have been met thanks to the online document,” he added.

“With professional knowledge, passion, spare tie and communication skills, college students can play an important role in providing social services and helping vulnerable groups,” Hua said.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

It was thirty years ago, and I was twenty years old as a new teacher in an elementary school in Toronto, Canada. My class was made up of thirty-eight kids, one of them named Mike. Mike was a street kid. He never knew his parents and lived with an uncaring grandmother. His clothing was in need of repair. He was ten years old and looked in bad health. Like most new, young teachers, I was full of enthusiasm and wanted to make a difference. I decided to reach out to help the kid in need.

So it was that early in September that my special “foster father(养父)” relationship with Mike began with the permission of his grandmother. I became the only parent figure he ever had. Each day, I’d take him for meals. I showed him how to repair clothes. I taught him a lot of new skills like using a computer, taking photos and knowing about nature. Mike would then help me teach the rest of the class these skills. We all had a lot of fun, and a kind of un-spoken trust began to build up between us. Surprisingly, he appeared eager to join in this new father-son relationship.

Early in our special relationship, Mike told me his dream. Most of the kids in the class wanted to be doctors, musicians, teachers or some such things, but not Mike. “I want to be a gangster(土匪), Mr. Kowalchuk!” he said. This was no joke—this was his wish, and he was most serious about it.

I believe all children have a gift. Everyone has the same chance to be the best person they can be. I realized this boy was smart, and that with a little love, attention, understanding, guidance and encouragement, he could probably achieve whatever he put his mind to. I explained to him that a good gangster had to read a large number of books on law in the law library and know criminal law(刑法) well like an excellent lawyer(律师). His young mind was eager and interested.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右;

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

If he wanted to be a “gangster”, I would do something to help him.
