A
Growing up in an Italian-American household was for me, pretty special. My mother, Gina,
an immigrant from Calabria, held on to so many of her family's traditions that at times, regardless
of the fact that I was living in the United States, our home felt like part of Italy.
To this day, my mother only speaks to me in Italian, and our conversations are, for the most
part, in her mother tongue. And most of those conversations are about food. For us, food — Italian
food — is an important part of our lives.
My mom Gina grew up on a farm where the fruits of their labor directly turned into the food
on the table, and wasting any of it was unacceptable. Every day was “Thanksgiving” because
times were tough, so food — and how it found its way onto the table ——was a holy matter. One
of the greatest lessons my mother taught me in the kitchen is to cook what you have on hand, and
to never let anything go to waste.
So, when I take a perfect little arancini(
意大利饭团
)out of the hot oil. I am immediately
transported back to my childhood: I am a little girl getting off the bus and running through the
back door to the smell of the food. This small snack symbolizes so many important tenements(

济公寓
)in my life about my heritage(
传承
)through food.
Heritage food is Sunday dinner with the family. When we preserve and recreate dishes like
that we feel a sense of pride and also a sense of continuity. Heritage food is the love we receive
from our parents and grandparents, and it's the love we in turn give to our children and
grandchildren. Heritage food is food that makes you feel safe and protected wherever and
whenever you eat it.
Eating arancini, and all the other recipes my mother continues to make here in the U.S. after
leaving Italy, allow her to teach me who I am, where I come from, and why I should be proud of it
all.
1. What can we know about the author's mom?
A. She is very strict with her children.
B. She refuses to learn to speak English.
C. She thinks her life in the U.S. special.
D. She values her family's traditions a lot.
2. What does the author imply by mentioning “Thanksgiving” in paragraph 3?
A. She enjoyed the food her mother cooked.

Scientists have found a potentially habitable(
可居住的
)planet and its star outside our Solar
System are more similar to the Earth and our Sun than any other known planet-star pair. For now,
the planet candidate(
候选
)is known as KOI-456.04. If its existence is confirmed by other
telescopes, the planet would join a group of about 4,000 known planets outside our Solar System.

“It's the combination of its size less — than — double that of the Earth and its solar-type host
star that makes it so special and familiar” Ren6 Heller, the lead author of the new study, said in a
press release. That means it could potentially host life.
To be considered habitable, planets must orbit a stable star that keeps a temperature suitable
for liquid water. The vast majority of identified Earth-like planets don't meet the conditions
required for life to exist. They give off either too weak light or high-energy flames that can fry the
planets around them. The star that KOI-456.04 orbits is about 1.1 times the size of the Sun, with a
surface temperature of only 300 degrees Celsius less than the Sun. The star also sends out visible
light, like our Sun does. Plus, KOI-456.04 is less — than — double the size of the Earth, which
could mean its atmospheric conditions are similar to ours. If KOI-456.04

s atmosphere is like the
Earths — meaning it has a mild greenhouse effect, then its average surface temperature would be
about 5 degrees Celsius, compared to the Earth's average of 15 degrees Celsius, according to the
Max Planck Institute .
The system is just over 3,000 light-years away from our Solar System. Future space
telescopes could study the planet candidate further. NASA, the European Space Agency, and the
Canadian Space Agency plan to launch(
发射
)the James Webb space telescope in 2021. The
European Space Agency's PLATO space telescope, scheduled to launch in 2026, will focus on
finding Earth-like planets orbiting Sun-like stars.
4. What makes the newly-found planet special?
A. Its strange name.
C. Its potential to host life.
A. Move around.
C. Knock into.
A. What kind of energy its host star provides.
B. Whether its atmosphere is similar to the Earth's.
C. How many agencies are willing to join in the study.
D. Why its surface temperature is lower than the Earth's.

Researchers have discovered a new bacterium that feeds on polyurethane, a kind of plastic
that is difficult to recycle or destroy. Scientists say the discovery could help reduce a flood of hard
— to — recycle plastics that are ending up in the world's landfills
(垃圾填埋地)
and polluting
oceans.
A team from the Helmholtz Center for Environmental Research in Leipzig, Germany, found
the new type of soil bacteria. It was spotted in an area that contained a large amount of plastic
waste. The team discovered the bacteria were feeding on polyurethane diol, which was widely
used in many different products.
One problem is that recycling polyurethane requires a lot of energy. The plastic material does
not melt when heated. Most polyurethane-based products end up in landfills, where they can
release dangerous chemicals. The team round that the bacterium can produce enzymesthat eat
(酶)
away polyurethane. This would make it possible to break down the material in the environment.
The results were recently reported in a study in the publication Frontiers in Microbiology.
Hermann Heipieper helped write the report. He said in a statement the finding “represents an
important step in being able to reuse polyurethane products.”
German study noted that plastic- eating bacteria could be easily controlled and produced for
industrial use. The researchers said the next step is to find more information about the bacterial
enzymes that can break down polyurethane.
Scientist Douglas Rader wrote about the issue in a 2018 article for the Environmental
Defense Fund. He said much more study should be carried out to learn about the complex

relationships between bacteria and marine ecosystems. “Such research is needed before we can
take action such as putting plastic-eating bacteria into the ocean,” Rader wrote.
7. What is the problem about polyurethane?
A It seems difficult to transport when it goes to landfills.
B. It affects the quality of plastic products if widely used.
C. It melts easily when exposed to the sun for a long time.
D. It pollutes the environment unless recycled or destroyed.
8. What do we know about the new type of bacteria from the text?
A. It can produce harmful chemicals.
polyurethane.
C. It is very hard to discover and control.
waste.
9. What is Douglas Rader's attitude towards the future use of the new bacterium?
A. Doubtful.
C. Cautious.
10. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Plastic-eating Bacteria
C. Plastic and Ocean

A
Recently, I said something like this to my 13-year-old son:
just do your work and we can stop fighting. Why don't you just listen to me? I hate having to shout
to get you to attention.
Creating a peaceful relationship with our children is a huge test of emotional intelligence-and
particularly empathy. In the above example, there are a number of emotional intelligence failures.
I was angry, so I was reacting unconsciously instead of responding intentionally. Under my anger
was a feeling of powerlessness and fear. I was scared that he is not self-motivated and won't do
well. I reacted to the fear by attacking. I was trying to use my force of will to make him obey.
The first rule of emotional intelligence: When people feel pushed, they resist. I was blaming
him, interpreting his lack of interest in homework as a kind of personal attack on me and implying
that he was making me behave the way that I behaved. I was focused on what I wanted and my
perspective.
I'd like to focus on this last point, because it turns out that this lack of perspective-taking-this
lack of empathy-is the key to easing parent-child tension.
When I increase empathy and relook at the situation with compassion, I see a different story.
Perhaps he was afraid, too. Perhaps he felt powerless, too. Perhaps he's learned the exact same
pattern I've modeled: When you're afraid, attack.
That moment of curiosity is the doorway to empathy, and it's a game changer. Empathy is not
actually a complex skill. It's a basic part of the social brain. That little pause of curiosity is a way

to step out of the stress reaction, and step into being the person we choose to be.
Hopefully, I'll remember to take that all-important pause and ask myself: I wonder what's
really going on for him right now.
21. What phenomenon is described in paragraph 1?
A. The parent-child tension. B. The poor emotional intelligence of parents.
C. The peaceful communication. D. The silent resistance from children.
22. What emotional intelligence failures did the writer make in the relationship with hisher son?
A. Lacking a sense of fear. B. Forcing hisher son to give in.
C. Making personal attacks. D. Making intentional responses quickly.
23. What's the best title for the text?
A. Parent-Child Conflicts B. The Test of Emotional Intelligence
C. The Doorway to Empathy D. The Key to Easing Parent-Child Tension

Every year, countless individuals are impacted by cancer. Our goal is to walk away from
cancer as we give strength to those fighting this life-threatening disease. Walk Cancer Away
invites everyone to participate in our annual family friendly walk event and join together to share
the strong will power found inside each of us with those around us. With each step we take, with
each story shared, and with each donation made we are one step closer to finding a cure. To date,
we have raised over $$700,000 for Dr. Nancy Kemeny's Colorectal Research Fund at Memorial
Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC), together with thousands of people supporting this cause
over the last 12 years we are committed to.
Walk Cancer Away began as a walk in honor of James N. Rentas. Deeply influenced by his
loss due to colorectal cancer, the Rentas family came together 12 years ago to help others who are
suffering the disease. Dr. Nancy Kemeny at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, who was
the doctor treating James N. Rentas, mirrors that same goal. Her efforts and that of her team at
MSKCC are focused on researching to overcome the disease and find a cure.
Together they have made great advancements over the years and have provided years of life
for those facing the disease. In many cases, their continued efforts have led to full relief of the
cancer in patients. With the deepest gratitude we are thankful to all those who support and
participate in the event each year, because without you this would not be possible.
Although Walk Cancer Away started just 12 years ago, we are forever honored to be able to
join in this event that so many of us find so close to our hearts. We ask you, your family, and your
friends to join in this year's Walk Cancer Away Event.
24. What does Walk Cancer Away intend to do?
A. To contact those suffering from cancer. B. To give strength to cancer patients' family.
C. To help find a way to defeat cancer. D. To share experiences from cancer victims.
25. According to paragraph 2, James N. Rentas .
A. lost his family B. died of cancer

C. did research on cancer D. founded Walk Cancer Away
26. Why does the author make this speech?
A. To call on people to join in the activity. B. To raise money for cancer research.
C. To express thanks to all the participants. D. To introduce the history of an event.

Sea urchins(海胆)are small creatures, but what's really remarkable about them is that they eat
anything that happens to float by. They have really sharp teeth they use to rid rocks of algae(海藻),
which makes them pretty valuable especially in places like Hawaii where algae are threatening the
coral reefs. In the summer of 2019, 500,000 of them were used to deal with the algae.
The problem started when non-native algae were introduced to the ecosystem of Kāne 'ohe
Bay in the 1970s. Because they had no enemies, they ended up taking over the bay, according to
the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). The algae blocked sunlight from reaching the
coral, which in turn affected the local fish because they changed the chemistry of the water.
That's when the NMFS turned to sea urchins that loved to devour the algae. But they had to
grow to the size of a cherry tomato before they could be used. Since 2011, sea urchins have been
grown and used to handle the algae problem. Some of the funds are available due to an
unfortunate incident.
In 2005, a ship was grounded on a shallow reef near Kāne 'ohe Bay. When the ship was
removed, 20 acres of reefs have been damaged. When there is environmental damage, the NMFS
and other agencies receive funds from the wrongdoers and the funds are used to restore the
damage. Some funds were spent on other projects like the sea urchins. When they are large
enough, divers carefully place them on the reef.
Algae isn't the only thing that threatens the coral reefs. Climate change and the effects of
fishing and tourism in the area also endanger the coral reefs. But turning to sea urchins instead of
man-made solutions seems like the best way to go.
27. Why are sea urchins regarded as outstanding creatures?
A. They arc tiny but have teeth. B. They can keep the ocean clean.
C. They are useful in removing algae. D. They grow on coral reefs with algae.
28. What happened after non- native algae arrived at Kane `ohe Bay?
A. They helped the coral reefs to survive. B. They spread to every corner of the bay.
C. They didn't fit in with the new surroundings. D. They fought against other species to get food.
29. What does the underlined word
A. Eat. B. Block. C. Tease. D. Attract.
30. What does the author suggest doing to save coral reefs?
A. Relying on humans' solutions. B. Banning fishing and tourism.
C. Employing divers to handle algae. D. Letting nature take care of nature.

Fernando, Lucia, and their moms were heading downhill. Tired and hungry, Fernando was
eager to have a rest and eat up the sandwich buried in his pack. Lucia desperately wanted to rest
her tired feet and legs, which ached terribly from the challenging climb the mountain. Mountain
climbing was not her greatest talent.
Distracted (分心) by hunger pains and by the beautiful view of the valley below, Fernando
didn't see the large fallen branch steps ahead of him. His foot caught on it, sending him down a
sleep path. After rolling to a stop, he knew something was wrong with his ankle.
His mom supported him as he tried to stand, but it was much too painful. They tried calling
911, but the surrounding trees blocked their cell phone signals. Analyzing their dilemma, the
group decided that Lucia and her mom would climb back to the top of the mountain, where they
would set off the emergency flares they carried. Lucia really began to worry when the group
settled on this plan. She wasn't confident that her overtaxed muscles could carry her up the
mountain a second time in one day!
Fernando's mom stayed with her son, and tried to make him as comfortable as possible. The
air on the mountain was dry and turning cooler. She wrapped him in her jacket to keep him warm
and periodically gave him sips of water.
Meanwhile, Lucia and her mom climbed up the mountain—again! A feeling of pride washed
over Lucia when she finally made it to the mountaintop—she was tougher than she thought! Then
pride turned to amazement when she spotted a helicopter approaching. Quickly, her mom fired a
flare, and they shouted and waved to attract attention. The helicopter flew nearer and the pilot
circled around to let them know that he had seen them. The plan had worked—they were going to
get Fernando safely off the mountain!
21. What happened to Fernando?
A. His ankle got injured by accident.
nowhere.
22. Why did Lucia climb up the mountain again?
A. To signal for help.



















B
Everyone procrastinates (拖延). “It's part of the human condition,” says procrastination




B. To wait for the helicopter.
D. To look for Fernando's cellphone.
B. Dangerous but exciting.
D. Challenging and enjoyable.
C. To search for water.
A. Painful and fruitless.
C. Tiring yet worthwhile.






B. A branch knocked him on the head.
D. He could find his sandwich C. He went missing in the deep valley.
23. Which words can best describe Lucia' s second climb?

researcher Tim Pychyl. “We want to feel good now. The way to do that is avoid the task.” He
admits that in the short term, procrastination is powerfully rewarding. The present self-benefits, of
course, but not the future self.
His research has shown that people can procrastinate on nearly anything, even enjoyable
tasks such as planning a vacation. Some people procrastinate cleaning. Some people procrastinate
by cleaning. The top tasks people delay are advancing their careers, taking care of their health, and
planning their finances.
One big factor for them is fear of failure, of not living up to expectations. Kelli Saginak, a
57-year-old health coach from Wisconsin, procrastinated about looking for a new job for years.
That inability to take action only confirmed her belief that she would never do any better. “It's
totally fear of judgment,” says Saginak. “If I don't take the risk, I don't have to face the judgment.
Yet it's simply me judging myself.”
Some people embrace procrastination, insisting that the white-hot pressure of a last-minute
completion(完成) makes his or her work better. But researchers have proved it wrong. “I did an
experiment, putting procrastinators under restrictions of time. They did worse than
non-procrastinators, but they thought they did better.” says Joseph Ferrari, a psychology professor.
“Non-procrastinators focus on the task that needs to be done. They have a stronger personal
identity and are less concerned about what psychologists call 'social esteem'—how others like us.”
Procrastination is usually not going to be good for you. Just thinking about what you haven't
done may cause discomfort. So if you have been procrastinating on starting an exercise routine,
just put on your walking shoes. If you've been putting off a work project, reread your boss's notes
about it.
24. According to Tim Pychyl, people procrastinate because________.
A. it simplifies the tasks















B. it offers temporary relief
D. it benefits one's self development
B. She makes quick judgement.
D. She values her present career.
C. it allows more time for planning
A. She has false expectations.
C. She regrets taking no action.


25. What did Kelli Saginak mean by “Yet it's simply me judging myself”?
26. What does Joseph Ferrari's experiment show?
A. Procrastinators usually lack confidence.
B. Procrastinators turn pressure into motivation.
C. Non- procrastinators care much about others' feelings.
D. Non-procrastinators perform better within a time limit.
27. What is the author's attitude towards procrastination?
A. Favorable.

In the film The Matrix, Agent Smith, a super-computer in human shape, says, “You move to
B. Reserved. C. Opposed. D.

an area, and you multiply, and multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way
you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism (生物体) on this planet
that follows the same pattern: a virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet.”
Yes, relatively speaking, we are just a large virus. While most species live in balance with
their ecosystems, we fail to do so. We are taking more from nature than it has to give. We wipe out
animals and plants as a virus might invade (侵袭) and kill a host. We are destroying our host, the
earth.
Our brain has been our most successful tool for survival. The funny thing is that our mind has
developed to such a degree that we have thought up solutions to more survival problems. We are
for the first time in earth's history changing nature to suit our comfort and desires. Being a human,
I do like the advancement of technology and medicine as we have the chance to survive longer
and sometimes feel less pain. After all, nature is cruel and we can soften its blow through these
inventions. However, people surviving genetic (基因的) faults or illness, could they be actually
making the gene pool more “dirty” and could even more people in the future suffer due to an
increase in faulty DNA? It seems that even though we deal with a short-term problem we could be
causing more. Are we being kind to be cruel?
We are lucky enough to own a brain complex enough to think and create. But we fail to
realize the only way to really survive is through respect of our host, the earth, and working with it
as the only way a living thing can benefit is by benefiting its host as it depends on it to survive.
28. According to the passage, what characteristics do humans and viruses share?
A. They take and give.













B. They expand and destroy.
D. They balance and survive.
B. They can guarantee purer human
D. They may bring humans more
C. They create and consume.
29. What does the author think of modern technology and medicine?
A. They can help humans control nature.
DNA.
C. They may reduce humans' effect on the earth.
harm than good.
30. What is the author's purpose of writing the passage?
A. To appeal for humans' respect for nature.
medicine.
C. To talk about a film character, Agent Smith.

polio (小儿麻痹症) made his leg lame and his teeth uneven. He seldom played with his
classmates; when the teacher asked him to answer questions, he always lowered his head without a
word.
One spring, the boy’s father asked for some seeds from the neighbor. He wanted to plant
them in front of the house. He told his children to plant a seed each. The father said to them,
“Whose seed grows best, I will buy him or her a gift.” The boy also wanted to get his father’s
gift, but seeing his brothers and sisters watering the trees joyfully, anyhow, he hit upon an idea: he
hoped the tree he planted would die soon. So watering it once or twice, he never attended to it.
A few days later, when the little boy went to see his tree again, he was surprised to find it not
only didn’t become weak, but also grew some fresh leaves, and compared with the trees of his
brothers and sisters, his tree appeared greener and more vital. His father kept his promise, bought
the little boy his favorite gift and said to him, “From the tree you planted, you would become an
outstanding botanist (植物学家) when you grew up.”
Since then, the little boy gradually became optimistic. One day, the little boy lay on the bed
but couldn’t sleep. Looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, he suddenly recalled what
the biology teacher once said, plants generally grow at night. Why not go to see the tree? When he
came to the courtyard on tiptoe, he found his father was splashing something under his tree with a
large spoon. All of a sudden, he understood: his father had been secretly fertilizing his small tree!
He returned to his room, tears running down his face. Even if it is just a spoon of clear water, it
can make the tree of life thrive.
21. It can be learned from paragraphs 1-2 that the little boy ___▲___ .
A. was ambitious in spite of his disability
B. was disabled and therefore less confident
C. showed no interest in plants and quit watering the tree
D. felt lonely and unlucky due to the prejudice against him

Exercise is an important part of staying healthy. Studies show that it can help strengthen the
body’s natural defenses against disease. But exercise does not just keep us healthy. For many
people, it is part of their daily routine, making them feel better about themselves. Getting enough
exercise at difficult times, such as the current coronavirus pandemic (新冠疫情), is important.
However, due to the bans on close contact between individuals, gyms and exercise studios
are not open. In areas with stay-at-home orders, exercising outside may not be as simple as usual.
So, people are changing the way they exercise during this pandemic.
Beth Berglin is the director of a gallery in Miami, Florida. Before the pandemic, her exercise
routine involved going to camp-style classes four mornings a week. Now, the area where she
trains is closed. But she is staying active through online classes. “Part of the reason we exercise is
to have that mental break,” she said. “I can’t imagine getting through this without having some
form of physical activity.”
Fitness companies are changing to meet the new environment. Some are helping people stay
active by offering online classes, some of which are free or have reduced cost. Some are offering
longer trial periods for at-home workouts. During a trial period, people can try a product or service
for free. Some have completely moved their training programs online. Many of these online
exercise classes are made for smaller spaces and do not require any special equipment.
Fitness companies that have been using an online model seem better prepared than others.
They are using the pandemic to expand their fitness offerings and appeal to new customers. Some
of those new customers include children who are now learning at home during the pandemic.
Founders of one online exercise company, named Obe, said that they received requests for
children’s classes from parents. So, they launched four 10-minute dance and strength workouts for
children 10 years old and younger.
24. What does the word “this” in paragraph 3 probably refer to?
A. The unexpected loneliness.
C. The great loss of business.




B. The daily exercise routine.
D. The lasting health catastrophe.
25. According to the author, online fitness courses ___▲___ .
A. call for less demanding places but more costs
B. face some challenges in developing new learning models
C. attract more customers by meeting their individual needs
D. are more popular compared with the usual way of exercise
26. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Those who keep exercising have no risk of infection.
B. Regular exercise is an effective way to keep mental health.
C. Obe’s founders are optimistic about the future of their company.
D. The widespread pandemic forces people to break the exercise routine.

April is National Poetry Month and naturally a great time to explore the powers of poetry.
Reading and writing poetry engage our senses along with our emotions. Both have highly
therapeutic (治疗的) effects on the mind.
The structure of a poem favors brief language yet the best poems also capture brief detail,
making them powerful in getting a message across to the reader. Writing poetry requires extremely
disciplined choice of words and the number of words, to create a sharp and accurate snapshot of
the poet’s feeling. This combination of conciseness and detail gives the reader open access to the
poet’s mind and enables the reader to truly connect with him.
Writing poetry requires us to be open and honest about our feelings so that we can voice them
through pen and paper. This acknowledgement of our innermost thoughts allows us to be true to
ourselves and boosts our self-respect.
The best poetry is written when we are truly in the midst of our emotions. This is when the
release of emotions to pen and then paper as an outlet calms us and enables us to move forward.
Poetry’s powerful healing qualities have been documented during both world wars and the
American civil war: poems were read to soldiers to help them cope with sufferings and the cruelty
of war. Doctors would write poems for patients, emotionally connecting with them. A good
example of this is John Keats who also trained as a doctor.
Poetry has also been used by modern-day doctors and physicians at Yale University School of
Medicine and University College London School of Medicine. Yale actually has a committee that
maintains a required literary reading list which includes poetry. Poetry allows both the doctor and
the patient to understand the emotions that the patient might be going through.
The use of poetry continues to grow as a recognized form of therapy. More psychotherapists
across the US, UK and Europe continue to use poetry therapy as part of their practice. Globally
the International Federation for Poetry Therapy sets standards of excellence in the training of
practitioners in the field of poetry therapy, qualifying them to practice.
27. What contributes to the highly therapeutic power of reading and writing poetry?
A. The close link in emotions between readers and poets.
B. The accurate snapshot of poets’ feeling.
C. The deliberate choice of words.
D. The brief structure of poetry.
28. According to the author, which of the following is most likely to be a best poem?
A. A poem applying effective writing techniques.
B. A poem describing the beauty of nature by imagination.
C. A poem borrowing ideas from other poets’ masterpieces.
D. A poem conveying one’s real thoughts and true feelings.
29. The author explains the use of poetry as a form of therapy in history by ___▲___ .
A. analyzing causes



B. giving examples
D. presenting research findings C. making a comparison

30. What message does the passage mainly convey?
A. Poetry is an opening to let out your emotions.
B. Poetry is a good medicine to cure a variety of diseases.
C. Poetry’s healing qualities can make a difference to a reader’s mind.
D. Poetry’s unique art form makes poems gain wide popularity in history.
