26、   Early in the morning of June 29, 1991, Carrie and Morgenstern were watching the field. Although they could see nothing through the thick fog, they kept their camera running.

By 6 a.m. the fog began to lift. A pair of circles had been flattened. The wheat were bent but not broken. Outside the circles the wheat was untouched, and there were no footprints or other marks. The circles seemed to have come from nowhere. “ I can’t explain it at all ,” Mike Carrier said to himself with his eyes wide open.

Carrier is not alone since the early 1980s, more than 2000 circles have appeared in farmer’s fields. Most circles form at night between May and August.

Some believe the circles are caused by deer or some other animals. Others think of UFOs. “The circles are messages given by those who come from outer space,” says Michael Green. “Perhaps they are trying to get in touch with us.”

Pat Delgado has done research on crop circles since 1981. He believes that they are caused by “ some form of earth energy.”

Most scientists think that there’s no scientific basis to back up Green’s or Delgado’s theories. In September 1991, Doug Bower and Dave Chorley told newsmen that since 1979 they had made circles throughout southern England to fool people who believed in UFOs. Since the early 1980s, Dr. Terence Meaden has visited more than1000 circles. Now he thinks he may have the answer. He believes true crop circles are made by vortex(旋风) which can flatten the crop.

Now crop circles are still found in southern England each summer. Are they really the traces of UFOs?

【1】On the morning of June 29, 1991, Carrier and Morgenstern hoped to________.

A.record the important thing B.draw a conclusion

C.find some footprints D.see something funny

【2】When he saw the crop circle, Mike Carrie was________.

A.satisfied B.frightened C.surprised D.interested

【3】Most scientists consider that theories of Green and Delgado are_________.

A.meaningful B.undoubted C.instructive D.unreasonable

【4】According to the article we may know that all the crop circles______.

A.are caused by some animals B.are formed by earth energy

C.are not tricks made by someone D.are made by UFOs from outer space

27、   With a growing number of people wearing hanfu in modern times and occasions，it sees revival（复兴）as elegant Chinese look wins new admirers.

The hanfu movement is believed to have started about 16 years ago when Wang Letian，from Henan province，wore the ancient style of dress in public. Since then，the people following him to adopt hanfu has gradually spread over China. Though there are no official numbers showing the recent increase，people can easily see others wearing hanfu on the street in everyday life. Some clubs dedicated to hanfu appreciation are being set up at many universities across China，providing plenty of evidence of its popularity among young people.

So serious is this style of dress to some people that they have started running businesses centered on promoting hanfu and Chinese culture appreciation. Among them is 25-year-old Sichuan province native Zhuo Tongzhou. After graduating with a master's degree in management from Australia's University of Sydney，she，along with her boyfriend，turned down a job offer from Price Waterhouse Coopers and set up a business in Sydney dedicated to promoting Chinese culture.

However，the movement is still faced with several critics and doubts on the authenticity of modem adaptations of hanfu，claiming that the followers did not do sufficient historical research before recreating the outfits. Some have even gone on to say that the movement is entrenched（根深蒂固的）in racism and linked to nationalist movements which could spark conflict between the Han ethnic group and the other 55 ethnic groups.

Despite the ongoing debate over hanfu，many young people still adopt hanfu as their daily fashion choice to show appreciation for their heritage and to feel a connection to their roots. For example，Zhou，continues to promote wearing hanfu as a lifestyle choice and hope that it will one day be accepted as mainstream fashion.

28、My first newsroom was in a grand building with tall arched windows that dominated a street corner in the small Midwestern city where I worked. Inside, there was a high ceiling."Did this use to be a bank?" many visitors would ask.But it had, in fact, always been a newsroom.

I was young and shy when I first went to work there, and it probably took me a month before I talked to any of the other reporters. But eventually, they became my best friends, the core of my social life.

My second newsroom was the airy top floor of a historic building in the state capital of Maryland. It was smaller and less grand but far more energizing. My colleagues were older. I learned so much about how to be a reporter from overhearing their phone interviews.

This past summer, several American newspapers announced they would be closing their newsrooms. Many local newspapers have gone out of business in recent years, victims of declining circulation and shrinking advertising dollars. Then along came the coronavirus pandemic ,and so many of us were sent home to work from there. The pleasant surprise is that we have all succeeded brilliantly in working remotely. But some managers have looked at this success and thought:"Why would we need to return to the newsroom?”

I worry that they are making a big mistake. A physical newsroom sends a powerful message to a community: “We are here for you.”At my first job, strangers could walk right through the door and straight up to my desk. We treasured that visibility.

But I also think about the collaboration   - of the times I would overhear colleagues talking about a story and realize that I had some useful information for them. Sometimes, a colleague would see me in the hall and give me a story idea. I can't wait to get back to my newsroom.

【1】How was the author's first newsroom different from the second one?

A．It used to be a bank.

B．It was in a grand building.

C．It sat in a big city.

D．It was visitor-friendly.

【2】How did the author benefit from her second newsroom?

A．She made her best friends there.

B．She could overhear others' argument.

C．She overcame her shyness.

D．She gained experience from her colleagues.

【3】What does the underlined part “this success” in paragraph 4 refer to?

A．Newspaper circulation was increasing.

B．Newspaper advertising was profitable.

C．Journalists worked effectively at home.

D．Journalism survived the pandemic.

【4】Why is the author against closing newsrooms?

A．Newsrooms serve as a close tie.

B．It is against the will of communities.

C．Newspapers will disappear due to it.

D．She will be out of work as a result.

【5】What's the purpose of the text?

A．To call for reporting heated news online.

B．To encourage people to work from home.

C．To point out the importance of newsrooms.

D．To introduce the success of remote working.

29、   Nature can provide almost everything human beings need if we follow her rules. But if we break the rules, she is likely to be cruel and lash out at us.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 in China and some other countries is an example. Dr Peter Daszak, president of the US-based health organization, said, “This outbreak is a lesson for us. On a global scale (规模), human population density (密度), wildlife diversity, and land use change are what drive new pandemics (流行病).”

In ancient times, people needed to rely on nature to survive so they held it in awe (敬畏). For example, the American Indians believed that humans are a part of nature and nature is a part of humans. Chinese ancients always tried to keep the harmony between nature and human beings.

However, as human beings master more knowledge and make more advanced tools, people try to change and even conquer nature. They use more land to make buildings and capture wild and rare animals to suit their own needs. In this process, humans gradually lose contact with nature and even throw it out of balance.

Although we don’t know for sure what first caused the COVID-19 outbreak, it’s time for people to reflect on our relationship with our planet and reconnect with this world and everything that we’ve been given. After all, nature is not the place to visit. It’s our home.

【1】What does the phrase “lash out at” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A.Control. B.Challenge. C.Destroy. D.Punish.

【2】What lesson did Daszak think human beings should learn from the COVID 19 outbreak?

A.Humans should live peacefully with nature.

B.Bats are one of the most dangerous wild animals.

C.We should stop the wildlife trade around the world.

D.It’s impossible to prevent new pandemics globally.

【3】What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?

A.How human activities cause global warming.

B.How human beings break the balance of nature.

C.How human beings become their own masters.

D.How humans use technology to improve their lives.

【4】What is the author’ s purpose in writing this article?

A.To reflect on the COVID-19 outbreak.

B.To explain what led to the COVID-19 outbreak.

C.To describe experts’ predictions on new pandemics.

D.To compare ancient and modern attitudes toward nature.

34、阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

Smell the flowers before you go to sleep and you may just end up with rosy dreams. Have a whiff of rotten(腐烂的)eggs during the night and your dreams may be【1】(pleasant). So says researcher Dr. Boris Stuck, 【2】invited sleeping volunteers to a rose vs. rotten egg test in the University Hospital Mannheim in Germany. The subjects didn’t dream about roses【3】eggs, but rather he found that what they smelt affected the emotions of【4】(they) dreams.

And if you think【5】(smell) have a say in dreams, wait for what TV tells us. A UK study reveals that people exposed【6】black-and-white film and TV in their youth are to have monochromic(单色的)dreams throughout their life more【7】(probable). Eva Murzyn from the University of Dundee tested two age groups— one half 【8】(age) over 55 and【9】other half under 25.

The result? Under 5% of the dreams of the under-25s were in black and white. 【10】(watch)color TV in childhood seems to be the reason why.

35、I have a muscle disease but I don't look any different from other people. Sometimes, I was too weak【1】 go to school so my education suffered. Every time I returned after an【2】(absent), I felt stupid because I was behind the others.

My life is a lot easier at high school because few fellow students make me【3】(annoy). My ambition is to work for a firm【4】develops computer software when I grow up. Last year I invented a computer football game and a big company has decided to buy it from me. I have a very busy life with no time to sit around【5】(feel) sorry for myself. As well as going to the movies and football matches with my friends. I spend a lot of time looking after my pets【6】(proper) but I find it worthwhile.

In many ways my disability has helped me grow stronger psychologically and become more【7】 (independence). I have to work hard to live a normal life but it has been worth it. If【8】(have) a chance to say one thing to healthy children, it would be this: having a disability does not mean your life is not satisfying. So don't feel sorry for the disabled or make fun【9】them, and don't ignore them either. Just accept them for who they are, and give them encouragement to live【10】rich and full a life as you do.

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.
