• 2．Tired of working in IT and staying the same in Australia，Paulo Cattaneo decided to make a change.In 2015 he started a strict budget so he could save up enough money to buy his dream KTM 1190 motorbike，a camera，and enough funds to support himself for a few years.
     Then he gave up his job，packed his things，and set off on an adventure，travelling the world on his motorbike.Paulo，39，has spent the last four years biking through Australia，South America，North America，and Europe，riding up to 12 hours a day and spending his nights in his tent under the stars.
     "Australia for me was my first experience riding long distance and I was mind-blown by the beauty of the old continent." Paulo wrote on his travel journal， "Traveling through Latin America，I explored the rainforest and learned Spanish and Portuguese.Mexico has some of the best food I ever had and Peru is an interesting place where I can enjoy the unique local Indian culture，also called Inca civilization."
     Paulo has managed to keep his travels going by keeping his budget tight，so he hasn't had to get a job for his travels.To keep costs low，he seldom looked for accommodation in hotels and went camping instead.Thankfully，the motorbike，which Paulo bought secondhand in Australia，has not required any major repairs since he set off.The journey isn't always easy，but Paulo has never looked back.
     Sadly，the Covid-19 pandemic put a stop to his travels in Greece when he traveled around Europe，and Paulo has had to spend the last few months in Italy，his homeland.Once the world is back up and running，he plans to return to life on the road and explore Asia and Africa.
  
  （1）What did Paulo begin to do in 2015？

  
  A．Change his job to live a better life.
  B．Collect enough money to buy a car.
  C．Prepare for his trip around the world.

  （2）What is NOT mentioned in paragraph 2？

  
  A．The way to travel.
  B．The travel daily schedule of travel.
  C．The places he'd been to.
  D．The last destination of travel.
  （3）What happened to him during Paulo's trip？

  
  A．He enjoyed the best food in Peru.
  B．The view in Australia attracted him.
  C．The motorbike often troubled him.
  D．He got a job to support his travel.
  （4）What can we learn from the last paragraph？

• 3．Poetry is an interesting form of wrjye.aiing.It is very free，has few restrictions and can be a great way to express feelings.Writing a poem is all about observing the world within you or around you.
     To write a poem，first you should begin with an idea or inspiration.Inspiration may come at any time unexpectedly.It may be a specific person，place or thing that causes some sort of strong emotion.It may be more of an abstract idea or release of emotion.
     After getting the idea，you can write down everything that comes to mind.Don't think much and let all feelings pour out.Remember everything can be thrown out later.
     Then，you can think about its form and begin to organize thoughts.Poetry comes in many forms，from epic poetry that has a story to dramatic poetry intended to be performed.Try them all out.One will come naturally.Maybe different poems fit different forms.When you write a poem，think about both meter（韻律）and rhythm carefully，which are equally important in poetry.Meter is the fixed pattern of the poem，while rhythm refers to the sound when it is spoken.It is also important to use a lot of descriptive words.Create imagery with words，trying to make them attractive to all the senses.For auditory（聽覺的）interest，try repeating of similar sounds in a sentence or phrase.All of this adds life and interest to a poem.
     After you finish your work，don't be afraid to share your work with others.When others point out your weakness，accept and grow from it.
  
  （1）When you begin to write a poem，you should first

  ．
  A．begin with some specific persons
  B．come up with an idea

  ．
  A．writing poems needs imagination and the ability to use language well
  B．people can get more ideas if they often share their poems with others
  C．people should first learn to write epic poetry，then dramatic poetry
  D．people need to write down every feeling they want to release at a time
  （3）After finishing your poem，you are advised to do the followings EXCEPT

  .
  A．Accept others' opinion about your shortcoming of the work.
  B．Be brave to share your poem with others.
  C．Appreciate your work on your own.
  D．Grow from others' comments.

• 4．There is an "environmental silver lining" as a result of the corona virus（冠狀病毒）-carbon emissions have been reduced by more than 4%，many wildlife markets around the world have been closed and air quality in some places has slightly improved，Dave Ford，founder of the environmental literacy organization Soul Buffalo，says.
     However，because of an increase in pandemic-related，non-recyclable materials such as take-out plastic containers and masks，30% more waste has entered our oceans，he notes. "There's 129 billion facemasks being made every month-enough that you could cover the entire country of Switzerland with facemasks at the end of this year if trends continue，" he says. "And a lot of these masks are ending up in the water." The masks look like jellyfish-in other words，food-to turtles and other wildlife creatures，thus，attractive to those animals and then endangering them，he says.
     Very little of the plastic we use is actually recyclable.Sharon Lerner of The Intercept told Here & Now last year that "the vast majority of plastic that has ever been produced-79%-has actually ended up in landfills or burned，but not remade into new products." Even if the plastics we have can be reused，F(xiàn)ord says recycling programs across the globe are facing severe budget cuts.
     "We're starting to see recycling programs stopped，waste picking communities operating at 50% or actually shutting down.They are the last line of defense between plastic and the environment，" he says.
     Last year，Unilever planned to cut its use of non-recycled plastics in half by 2025.In an interview with Here & Now，Richard Slater，Unilever's chief research and development officer，drew on the industry argument that plastic packaging is lighter，which means less shipping and therefore fewer dangerous emissions that cause climate change.
     Yes，plastics are lightweight and can cut down on fuel spending.But on the other hand，plastic waste is being found in every aspect of life-even in the deepest ocean.
  
  （1）What does "environmental silver lining" in Paragraph 1 refer to？

  
  A．An environmental organization.
  B．The closure of some wildlife markets.
  C．Benefits on environment from the corona virus.
  D．The decrease of carbon dioxide emissions.
  （2）Why are facemasks attractive to some sea creatures？

  
  A．There is a continuous shortage of food in the ocean.
  B．They contain certain unique chemicals.
  C．Many sea creatures like to chase plastic by nature.
  D．They look like the sea creatures' food.
  （3）What can we learn about the plastic waste？

  
  A．The majority of it is buried or burned.
  B．Most of it is recycled into new products.
  C．129 billion facemasks end up in the ocean.
  D．There is enough budget for plastic recycling.
  （4）Which of the following might be the best title for the text？

  
  A．Plastic can cut down fuel spending
  B．The corona virus has caused more ocean plastic
  C．Recycling programs are shutting down
  D．Solutions to ocean plastic pollution are being explored

• 19．That night，I quarreled with my mother，and then rushed out of the house.While on the road，I remembered that I did not have any money in my pocket.I did not even take my cell phone with me to make a call home.
      At the same time，I went through a noodle shop，and I suddenly felt very hungry.I wished for a bowl of noodles，but I had no money!
      The seller saw me standing before the counter and asked， "Hey，girl，you want to have the noodles？"
      "Oh，yes...but I don't have money on me..." she replied. "That's nothing.I'll treat you today，" said the man， "Come in."
      A few minutes later the owner brought me a steaming bowl of noodles.I thanked the man and started to gobblle （狼吞虎咽） up the delicious food...then I cried silently.
      "What is it？" asked the man kindly.
      "Nothing.I am just touched by your kindness!" I said as I wiped my tears. "Even a stranger on the street gives me a bowl of noodles，while my mother，after a quarrel，chased me out of the house.She showed no care for me.She is so mean and cruel!"
      Hearing the words，the seller smiled "Girl，do you really think so？I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot.But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby，why were you not grateful and why did you hurt your mom？You should say sorry to your mom."
      I was really surprised after hearing that.
