Starting from Thursday, November 19, 2020, the baby panda Fan Xing has access to his inside and outside enclosure(围场), and he can now be seen by visitors. The panda was born on May 1, 2020, and remained inside the mother’s house behind the scenes for months. Completely at home

You can only visit Ouwehands Zoo with an online ticket during a reserved period to prevent the park from getting too busy. Temporarily in the Netherlands

A books-for-food program in Guatemala is helping feed needy children as hunger rates rise during the pandemic(疫情). It is run by a local nonprofit organization that aims to feed nearly 400 children.
The program is simple. People choose a book they want from a list of donated titles, and in return give bags of Incaparina, a high-protein drink mix. Bonifaz Diaz works for the program. By bringing the books-for-food program directly to people's homes, Diaz makes sure donations keep flowing. He has traveled more than 2,000 kilometers on his bicycle, delivered loads of books and carried back thousands of kilograms of Incaparina for the nonprofit group 32 Volcanoes. Diaz sometimes pulls
1
a small cart that helps him carry up to 57 kilograms of product. He has traveled as far as 60 kilometers for a delivery to a town in the Western Highlands, where road conditions are poor.
Nearly a year into the books-for-food program, two more cyclists have joined Diaz and donations keep flowing in. Ana Castillo is a 29-year-old high school teacher who recently received the sociology book from Diaz. She donates to the program often. The 1.8 kilograms of Incaparina she provided will help one family eat for a month.
Castillo looks forward to choosing her books from the titles Diaz posts on social media. She also loves the feeling of a \"growing circle\" of giving and receiving. \"You might not get to those places, but your help can. \"she says.
Diaz says he plans to continue cycling against hunger as long as the need exists. He has faced his own economic difficulties since the theater company he co-founded closed last spring. But the program has kept him active. \"It's an opportunity to serve in which we all benefit. \"Diaz said.

D. Financial difficulties put it to an end
7. Which word best describes Diaz's attitude towards the program? A. Indifferent. B. Supportive, C. Tolerant. D. Unwilling
C
Several years ago, when someone used camera covers to protect against possible monitoring, it was not popular to talk about it. Today, people use various types of tapes to cover the web cameras and microphones.
There are many types of spyware that can dive into our devices and secretly spy on them, recording everything they do. Such programs may infect not only computers but also smartphones. Your data may be used by hackers who will try to request money for not exposing your private information or by companies like NSO Group who created the Pegasus spyware to “provide authorized governments with technology that helps struggle against terror and crime”.
In my opinion, the described protection technique is highly overestimated. Users tape cameras and microphones due to the lack of understanding of how their devices work and how malware(恶意软件)works. Hackers and even secret services do not have enough resources to monitor all victims using cameras or microphones. If they need to yet any information, they get it by sending a targeted malware to your device, which will not be stopped by the tapes. Such a virus will find what to steal -from personal photos and videos to passwords from social networks, browser history, bank accounts and much more.
It is unwise to believe that attackers will not be able to find a way to spy on you, even if the device, discharged to zero, can
2
still deliver data about your location, using the smartphones of the surrounding people as signal repeaters. Let us face it. we live in an era when it is extremely difficult to hide something and a piece of tape is clearly not the most useful tool in the struggle for your privacy.
Again, to be able to spy on you, attackers need to plant malware in your device. To prevent malware from entering your device, do not click suspected links and email attachments. Use strong passwords for email, social media and online banking accounts.
8. What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 2 refer to? A Cameras B. Types C Programs D. Devices.
9. What is NSO Group A group of hackers
B A company developing spyware. C, A group of terrorists and criminals. D A company fighting against crime.
10. Why does the author think \"the protection technique is highly overestimated”? A. People know little about their devices B. Hackers have no access to others
C. It hardly prevents malware from getting privacy. D. It can't cover the cameras completely.
11. What is the text mainly about? A Protecting privacy on devices. B Rising trend of using tapes
C Monitoring devices via cameras D Avoiding clicking distrustful links
D
Hidden beneath the surface in the roots of Earths astonishing and diverse plant life, there exists a biological superhighway linking together the members of the plant kingdom in what researchers call the\" wood wide web\".
The network is comprised of thin threads of fungus(真菌)that grow outwards underground up to a few meters from its partnering plant, meaning that all of the plant life within a region likely connected to one another. The partnership is beneficial for both parties involved, plants provide carbohydrates (碳水化合物) to the funguses and in exchange,
the funguses aid
in gathering water and providing nutrients to its partnering plant.
A study conducted by Rensen Zeng of the South China Agricultural University found that this also allowed for plants to warn one another of potential harm. The study showed Broad Beans used the fungal network to spy on one another for upcoming danger.
Like our Internet, this fungal connectivity is also full of crime. Some plants, such as Golden Marigolds have been found to release poisons into the network to slow down the growth of surrounding plants in the fight for water and light. Other plants, such as the Phantom Orchid, do not have the chlorophyll(叶绿素) and must get the necessary nutrients from surrounding plants.
Research suggests that animals such as insects and worms may be able to detect slight exchanges of nutrients through the network, allowing them to more easily find delicious roots to feed on; however, this has not been conclusively made clear in experimentation. The more we learn about this phenomenon, the more our understanding of the plant life of our planet will
3
continue to change. Perhaps one day, we may be able to map out these complex networks entirely.
12. What is the function of the first paragraph? A. To explain the aim of the web. B. To introduce the main topic. C. To give definition of diverse life. D. To show the importance of plants
13. The criminal behavior of plants can be seen as a way to________. A. compete for survival B, gather more water C. take in sunlight D. break natural rules
14. What does the last paragraph suggest? A. Animals can also feed on the fungus.
B. Nutrient exchanges are too slight to detect C. No experiment can prove the phenomenon D. More needs to be done to work out the network
15. Which can be the best title for the text? A. The Partnership between Plants B. The Unknown Roots of the Earth C. The Superhighway Linking the Plants
D. Th he Mysterious Map Changing the World

Habits can be slow to form. _____16______ When workers headed home during the first lockdown of March 2020, they probably thought the break would last for a month or so. Had that been true, old routines would soon have restarted.
It is now ten months since many employees have made a regular commute(通勤) into the office. New routines have taken root and those will be much harder to break. _____17_______
Research suggests that managers may spend 23 hours a week in meetings. _____18_____ The pandemic could provide a wake-up call on meeting uselessness.
_____19________ The convention of the daily commute and the standard working day has been abandoned. Self-isolating(自我隔离) workers have shown they will happily get on with their work,even when not under the eye of their boss. And if they decide to work at home on Fridays,they will no longer feel as guilty as they might have done before the pandemic. Handling a combination of remote workers will require managers to acquire new habits. Ms Moschini says the key will be to develop \"empathic(共情) leadership\" that understands the varied working conditions of team members. _____20______ At the start of the lockdown, she sent slippers to her team so they could feel comfortable working from home.
A. This bad news has a silver lining B. But not all new habits are welcome. C. This might involve sending small gifts D. But when they do, they can become rooted E. Permitting this flexibility makes perfect sense
F. The best habit developed during the pandemic is becoming flexible G. Cut that time in half and think of how much more might be achieved

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,续写的词数应为150左右。 Mom was born in a small village, which is famous for paper-folding art, and Mom learnt how to make paper animals. In 1967, Mom went to Hong Kong, where she met Dad. They went to the suburbs of Connecticut later. Not knowing English, she was lonely until I was born.
When I was young, Mom liked to make paper animals for me. She folded up the paper, then lifted the paper packet to her mouth and blew into it. There in her hands was a little paper tiger. It seemed that the little tiger shared her breath. This was her magic. At my request, Mom also made a goat, a deer and even a shark.
Mark, one of the neighborhood boys, came over with his Star Wars action figure. I brought out the paper tiger. Mark examined the wrapping-paper pattern of the tiger’s skin. \"That doesn’t look like a tiger. Is it a toy? \"\"I had never thought of that. But looking at it, it was really just a piece of wrapping paper.
Later, Dad bought me a full set of Wars action figures. I packed the paper animals in a shoebox and put them into the comer of the attic(阁楼). Once in a while, I would see Mom at the kitchen table making new paper animals. I caught them, pressed and then put them away in the box in the attic.
Mom was also trying to learn to speak English, but her accent and broken sentences embarrassed me. I tried to correct her. but in vain. Eventually. I stopped talking with her. For years, I paid no attention to Mom until one day my Dad called and told me that Mom was in hospital. Dad and I stood, one on each side of Mom. She turned to me, \" Jack, just keep that box with you, and you will find it so important. \"
She died several days later. Dad aged raw after that. The house was too big for him and had to be sold. My girlfriend Susan and I went to help him pack and clean the place.
Susan found the shoebox in the attic.____________________________________
I unfolded the paper tiger and found several lines of Chinese characters written by my mother. _______________________

第二节(满分25分) Paragraph 1:
Susan found the shoebox in the attic. “I’ve never seen such amazing paper-folding art,” Susan said. “Your mum was an amazing artist.” The paper animals, hidden in the darkness of the attic for so long, had become fragile, and the bright wrapping paper patterns had faded. On top of the paper animals was the paper tiger, which looked so shabby. I laughed, petting its back. Paragraph 2:
I unfolded the paper tiger and found several lines of Chinese characters written by my mother. It reads, “My dear son, we haven’t talked for a long time. So I decided to write to you about what I want to say in the paper tiger that you used to like so much. I love you so much, but can you understand how I felt when you put the paper animals away and paid no attention to me? I felt I was losing everything.” My heart ached, tears rolling down. Following the folding lines, I refolded the paper back into tiger and held it in my arm.
