26、   At just 17, McGarry is a rising star of the food world and has been dubbed(……取别名) the “Justin Bieber” of American cooking.

Flynn McGarry's cooking career started when he was 11, partly thanks to his mother. “My mom didn't really like cooking, and when she did cook, I didn't really like her food. I was watching something on the Food Network channel and I thought, ‘I could do this,’ so I went to the bookstore and looked for the biggest cookbook I could find.”

Within a year, he had produced most of its recipes(菜谱) and was ready for a bigger challenge. He said, “I wanted to create my own dishes and I started to cook for more people than just my family too.” His parents allowed him to build a test kitchen in his bedroom. “At first, they were fine with it, but then they asked if I wanted to sleep next to a stove(火炉) and I said yes ! It started off as two tables with some gas burners, my desk and my bed, but then I needed more space for cooking，so I gave up the desk and got a foldaway bed(折叠床).” Then Flynn'S older sister, whose bedroom had more space, went off to college. He moved down to her room and fitted it with a large stove, four work stations, and a long area for preparing the end results on plates.

Flynn and his mother set up Eureka, a supper club pop-up business that organizes monthly events inside his room. Flynn, who has also cooked in top-class restaurants around the US, says he’s not doing it for the money, but because he loves cooking. “At the point in your life where you stop caring if you,re going to be famous or do well, your dream will come to you. I did something with my gift and people recognized it. I hope to keep getting better and better.

【1】Why did Flynn begin to cook?

A.His mother never cooked at home. B.He thought he might have the ability.

C.His mother suggested it as a future career. D.He saw information about a cookbook on TV.

【2】Flynn's parents asked him if he wanted to sleep next to a stove, because _________.

A.they had some doubts B.they strongly disagreed

C.they were unsure if it would work D.they were angry about it

【3】What's the best title for the text?

A.Eureka, A Worldwide Supper Club B.A Famous Food Network Channel

C.Meet With Delicious American Food D.The Justin Bieber of Food--Flynn McGarry

27、   Most of my friends are moving outside the city to avoid the noise, smog, traffic, and crime of the city. One friend says, "The air is heavily polluted in the city, so I prefer to live outside, where the air is clean.” Another friend is unpleased with the traffic. Downtown is crowded with cars! You can’t find a parking place, and the traffic jams are terrible.” Everyone is worried about crime. “The city is full of criminals -- it's too dangerous.”

For them, the rural(乡村的) life is a cure for all problems, green grass, flowers, swimming pools, barbecues, and so on. Yet after they have lived there for a year or so, they realize that rural life is not so pleasant as they were expecting. Why? Their gardens! They soon learn that the main part of rural life is yard work. After they work all weekend in their gardens, they are too tired to swim in their pools or cook some meat on their barbecues. And they can’t live in the countryside without a car. Most of them moved to the countryside to avoid traffic, but now they are blocked on a busy freeway two hours every day to drive to work downtown.

My opinions about urban life are different-I love to live downtown! Why? First, in the city, I can enjoy nature. I can walk through the park. Smell the flowers, sit on the grass and visit the animals in the zoo. Yet I don 't have to do yard work or feed the animals. Also, I can get everywhere by bus; if there is a traffic jam, I can walk home. I think the criminal life will reflect changes in society too; if people are buying homes outside the city, the criminals will soon follow. Criminals want to avoid noise, smog, and pollution, too. Then, overcrowding and crime will be problems of the suburbs instead of the city!

【1】The first paragraph is used to _______.

A. list some figures B. make comparisons

C. introduce the topic D. give suggestions

【2】What did those moving outside think of their life in the city?

A. Cosy. B. Convenient.

C. Colorful. D. Crowded.

【3】What is the major problem for those who live in the country?

A. Being far from downtown.

B. Having gardens to take care of.

C. Failing to find parking lots.

D. Suffering heavy traffic on the road.

34、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.

A tiger at the Bronx Zoo in New York City has tested positive for the respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus, becoming the first known case of human-animal 【1】, the zoo's chief veterinarian said on Sunday.

Nadia, the 4-year-old Malayan tiger that tested positive, was 【2】 for the COVID-19 disease after 【3】 a dry cough along with three other tigers and three lions, the Wildlife Conservation Society, which manages the zoo, said in a statement.

All of the cats are expected to recover, it said. But officials believe this is a unique case because Nadia became sick after 【4】 to an asymptomatic zoo employee, Paul Calle, chief veterinarian at the Bronx Zoo, told Reuters.

Calle said they did not know which employee infected the tiger. "This is the first time that we have discovered that a person infects the animal and the animal gets sick," Calle said, adding that they planned to share the findings with other zoos and institutions. " I guess 【5】 we will all have a better understanding as a result.

While the other tigers and lions were also 【6】 symptoms, the zoo decided to test only Nadia because she was the sickest and  had started to lose her appetite already, and they did not want to 【7】 all the cats to anesthesia(麻醉), Calle said.

Nadia 【8】 X-rays, an ultrasound(超声波) and blood tests to try to figure out what was making her sick . They decided to test for COVID-19 【9】 the surge in cases in New York City, the epicenter of the outbreak in the United States.The first tiger at the zoo, which has been shut since mid-March, began showing 【10】 of illness on March 27, according to the US Department of Agriculture National Veterinary Services Laboratories.

35、Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

The Internet E-commerce and globalization are making a new economic age possible. In the future, capitalist markets will largely be replaced by a new kind of economic system based on 【1】 relationships, contractual arrangements and access rights.

Has the quality of our lives at work, at home and in our communities increased in direct proportion to all the new Internet and business-to-business Internet services being introduced into our lives? I have asked this question of hundreds of CEOs and corporate executives in Europe and the United States. Surprisingly, virtually everyone has said, “No, quiet 【2】.” They say they are working longer hours, feel more stressed, are more impatient, and are even less civil in their dealings with colleagues and friends-not to mention strangers. And what’s more revealing, they place much of the blame on the very same technologies they are so 【3】 supporting.

The technological leader promised us that access would make life more convenient. Instead, the very technological wonders that were supposed to 【4】 us have begun to enslave us in a web of connections from which there seems to be no easy 【5】.

If an earlier generation was preoccupied with the quest to enclose a vast 【6】 land, the .com generation, it seems, is more caught up in the colonization of time. Every spare moment of our time is being filled with some form of commercial connection, making time itself the 【7】 of all resources.

And while we have created every kind of labor-and time-saving device to service our needs, we are beginning to feel like we have less time available to us than any other humans in history. Maybe we need to ask what kinds of connections really 【8】 in the e-economy age. If this new technology 【9】 is only about super efficiency, then we risk losing something even precious than time-our sense of what it means to be a(n) 【10】 human being.

36、

Rapidly advancing technology and its impact on education has been a subject of debate. How can schools equip students with the skills they need to succeed in a challenging job market?

Since technology is driving these changes, there is a theory that governments should keep focusing on STEM subjects. These are often referred to as “hard skills,” which are 【1】 in primary school and right through to university level. In the meantime, ‘soft skills’ are being 【2】.

This is a mistake. Much evidence suggests that soft skills are far more 【3】 to graduates in the long term. Research from Harvard University on the global job market has shown that STEM- related careers grew strongly between 1989 and 2000 but have slowed down since. In contrast, jobs in the creative industries----the sector probably most 【4】 with the need for soft skills---are growing rapidly. Soft skills are, in fact, increasingly in demand in the workplace: Google cites creativity, leadership 【5】 and communication skills as top requirements for both potential and current employees.

So why are soft skills so highly 【6】 for?

With the rapid evolution of technology, a focus on hard skills leaves students 【7】 to change, as these often have a short shelf life. According to research by World Economic Forum, more than one in four adults reports a mismatch between their skills and those needed for their job role. If soft skills are taught well, these skills should enable students to adapt to change more easily and progress further in their 【8】 career.

Of course, technical skills are important. But without the curriculum placing equal--- if not greater --- 【9】 on soft skills, our education systems are missing a huge trick.

Now something like a tablet-shaped but fold-able phone is about to become 【2】. In February, South Korean electronics company Samsung and China’s Huawei both unveiled fold-able phones Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X 【3】. Mobile phone use has entered the “fold-able future”, The Verge noted.

In a keynote address, Samsung’s senior vice president of mobile product marketing, Justin Denison, called the fold-able screen “the 【8】 for the smart-phone of tomorrow.” “It’s a balank canvas for us to do something beautiful together,” he said.
