When the COVID-19 pandemic forced the town in Manton,Michigan to shut down,Scott
Chittle decided that the community needed a safe place to come together,and
something to bring some joy during the boring winter months.And what is a better
outdoor activity to get people outside in the cold than ice skating?
In order to make his dream a reality,Chittle searched the Internet for videos
on how to build an ice rink(溜冰场).He ordered a large 3,000 square foot tarp
(防水帆布)online and bought some wood to create the walls.It took 12 fire trucks
from the local fire department to get enough water to fill the plot.
It took a little time as Chittle went door to door to convince people to come
and see his creation,and soon Chittle's backyard ice rink became a Manton
hotspot.Parents joined in to help Chittle buy second-hand skates and hockey
sticks for the neighborhood children.Soon enough,the children were skating and
shooting.
"We kept seeing more things donated.It was fantastic because the whole community
just came together.It was amazing how everybody worked together because of
Scott." says neighbor Audrey Hooker.
Skaters were welcome to come at any time.And each Saturday from 4 p.m.until 8
p.m.,dozens of children and their parents gathered at the ice rink for skate
parties.The children who had been confined to their homes for almost a year
laughed and shouted with joy while skating around the rink.Parents gathered
around feeling relief that their children had found a purpose again.It became
a weekly event that neighbors could look forward to and it offered a place for
people to see each other in a socially distanced way.
But the kindness didn't stop with Chittle.When the community heard how much money
he used to make this project happen,everyone helped.A fundraiser brought in
about ﹩1,300,and letters sent to Chittle's home stuffed with cash brought
in an additional ﹩1,500,covering all of the costs with money to spare.Companies
began sending supplies for next year's ice rink including outdoor lights,a snow
sweeping machine and shovels.
"This has been a community thing," explains Chittle. "It's not just me.I want
to show the rest of the world what a little effort,the best intentions,and
community can do not only for others but for the souls of all."
20. Why did Chittle build a backyard ice rink? ______
A. To organize skate parties.
B. To show off his creativity.
C. To get some money and outdoor supplies.
D. To offer a safe social place and some fun.
21. What did the parents do to help with the ice rink? ______

How Your Weekly Shop Could Help Prevent a Mass Extinction All around the
world,the way in which we produce,buy and eat food has never been more
similar.You may think you have more choices than your parents or grandparents
ever did,and on one level that is true.Wherever you are,you can eat various foods
all in a single day.
What we're being offered appears at first to be diverse,until you realise it
is the same kind of "diversity" that is spreading around the globe in the same
way;what the world buys and eats is becoming more and more the same.Of the 6,
000 plant species humans have eaten over time,we now mainly grow and eat just
nine.What's less well known is that for each of the crops,we're eating from a
smaller number of varieties.Thousands of different wheats exist,but less than
10 make it onto the "recommended list" issued to British farmers.It's a similar
story with the meat we eat.
This relatively recent phenomenon(现象)of eating from such a narrow selection
of plants and animals,and just a few varieties of these,has resulted in a serious
loss of diversity in farmers' fields and in our diets and a great loss of
biodiversity.
In the 20th century,efforts were made to produce more calories(卡路里)to feed
growing populations,but in search of quantity,we gave up diversity.Crops and
farm animals unique to their part of the world became endangered;some even went
extinct(灭绝).When a food is lost,we risk not only losing a special flavour,but
also a way of life and part of a culture.We also lose choices for the future.
Faced with the growing impact of climate change and extreme weather events,we
can add greater resilience(快速恢复能力)to our food system by saving
diversity.But as the world farms and eats in increasingly similar ways,more
foods are at risk of disappearing.We all have a part to play in preventing this
from happening,wherever we are in the world,and it starts with what we put in
our shopping baskets.
Still unsure where to start?Focus on one of your favourite foods and start to
explore it in all its diversity.Whether that's chocolate,coffee,cheese or
wine,find as much variation as you can,set off on a flavour adventure and help
save something from extinction.
24. According to the passage,people may believe that ______ .
A. our choices of food are more than those of early generations
B. our ways of food production are never similar to one another
C. what we plant stays the same around the world
D. what we eat is becoming increasingly popular
25. How does the writer prove his idea in Paragraph 2? ______
A. By using data.
C. By telling a story.
B. By describing a scene.
D. By sharing experiences.
26. According to the writer,what might be the cause of the loss of biodiversity?
______
A. Climate.
B. Business.
C. Population.
D. Technology.
27. What is the last paragraph mainly about? ______
A. Why to start.
C. What to eat.
B. Where to shop.
D. How to help.
D
If there is one place you don't want to stick your finger,it's the mouth of a
Pacific lingcod.These fearsome fish have around 500 needlelike teeth sticking
out of jaws(颌)that are strong enough to crush crustaceans(甲壳动物).
How lingcod maintain the sharpness of their terrifying teeth has long been a
puzzle.But a study,published in November in the Proceedings of the Royal Society
B,claims that Pacific lingcod keep their teeth sharp and shiny by replacing
about three percent of them every day.For a lingcod,that's up to 20 teeth
replaced daily.
In order to determine the frequency at which lingcod replace their
teeth,Ms.Cohen,a coauthor of the new study,and her colleagues kept 20 lingcod
at the University of Washington's Friday Harbor Laboratories and tracked how
many teeth they lost and regrew over several days.The fish were placed in a tank
of seawater mixed with a red dye(染料)that colored their teeth,then returned
to their regular tank for 10 days.When the 10 days were up,the fish were placed
in a tank containing a green dye and then examined.The teeth that were present
since the start of the experiment were both red and green,whereas the new teeth
were only green.
After collecting and examining a total of 10,000 teeth,the scientists were able
to determine how quickly lingcod lost and regrew their teeth and which teeth
were replaced most often.
Lingcod,like most fish,have two sets of jaws:oral jaws and pharyngeal jaws.Their
oral jaws are used to catch food while their pharyngeal jaws,which are positioned
in their throats,are used to chew their food and move it from their mouths to
the stomach.Ms.Carr,the lead author,and colleagues found that teeth are
replaced more frequently in the back of the mouth,where most of the chewing and
crushing take place.
The way lingcod replace their teeth is likely crucial to their hunting
strategy,says Kory Evans,a fish ecologist at Rice University in Houston. "The
duller a lingcod's teeth are,the harder it is going to be for it to hold on to
its target.So having the ability to teeth and replace them is pretty important."
Dr.Evans said, "In order to make it as a lingcod,you need sharp pointy teeth
and all your teeth need to be on point."
28. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? ______
A. What role seawater played.
B. What conclusion was reached.
C. How the study was conducted.
D. How teeth changed their colors.
29. According to the passage,lingcod's teeth are replaced ______ .
B. to better hunt for food
D. with bigger and sharper ones
A. every 10 days
C. faster in the oral jaw
30. What does the underlined word "shed" in the last paragraph probably mean?
______
A. Repair.
B. Sharpen.
C. Lose.
D. Examine.
31. What is the purpose of writing this passage? ______
A. To warn people of the danger of a fish.
B. To introduce the findings of a new study.
C. To stress the importance of replacing teeth.
D. To suggest new ways to conduct studies on fish.

Fleanor Love knows that weddings create a lot of leftover flowers.That means
more opportunities for her to collect after-wedding bouquets(花束)and give
them to her lonely hospital (32),many of whom don't often have visitors,let
alone expensive(33).
The flowers are still in good shape,and the patients are pleased to have them.
"I was so(34)that I cried," said patient Connie Melzer,who was recovering from
a heart problem when Love walked into her room with a bouquet in early 2020.
Love worked at the Virginia Commonwealth University Hospital as a(n)
(35)student.She wondered how she could help (36)the patients' suffering besides
learning how to treat them as a student doctor.
"One of the(37)of being a medical student is that it can be very difficult
to(38)to the care team," said Love. "You are there as a learner,who doesn't have
as much knowledge as doctors.But you want to(39)your patients.How can I at this
stage in my training make a(n)(40)for them?"
In 2019,she started The Simple Sunflower in Richmond,and so far has(41)more
than 760 bouquets to patients.She brought fellow students and other people into
her project,and now has more than 200(42)on the email list.
When Love began the project,she called businesses such as wedding venues(场
馆)and florists and asked them what events were scheduled.She then reached out
to brides and grooms to ask them if they had(43)for their flowers after the big
day.
For each wedding,she organized a team of eight people who helped(44)the flowers
when the party was over and then spent time carrying them to individual patients.
People beyond the VCU community have heard about Love's project and become part
of it. "Once the word got out,people around the city started(45)us," Love
said.She wanted to bring the project to more cities and maybe open branches at
other medical schools.
"I feel(46)when I see the patients who receive our bouquets," she said. "It
reminds me why we do what we do."

47. Have you ever wondered why you feel very tired after an online meeting or
classroom session,when you might not feel the same if the meeting was being
held with everyone in the same room?This effect,nicknamed "Zoom fatigue",
is felt not just by students but by grown-ups as well,who are getting tired
by video meetings as they work from home.
Now,a US scientist says he has identified four key reasons why video calls
can be so exhausting.Jeremy Bailenson,from Stanford University in
California,has spent more than 20 years looking at how different forms of
online communication can affect people.He says the first reason video calls
can feel tough is because people are constantly making eye contact with each
other as they look down at their cameras.In normal meetings or
classes,people are usually just looking at the speaker but during a video
call everyone seems to be staring at everyone else.What's more,they can
often seem uncomfortably close.
A second reason for fatigue may be that people are spending a lot of time
looking at themselves on camera.Bailenson compared this to being followed
around a school or workplace by someone holding up a mirror.Previous studies
have suggested that staring into mirrors can make people feel more critical
about themselves and doubtful of their abilities.
Working from home also means that many people aren't moving as much as they
used to.Studies have shown that people can think more creatively while
moving around but online meetings force people to sit still so they can stay
on camera.
Bailenson's final reason is that it is more difficult to understand people's
body language on a video call.With such a limited camera view,our brains
have to work extra hard to interpret other people's gestures and
expressions,and that can be very tiring.
(1) What is "Zoom Fatigue"?(不多于 9 个单词) ______
(2) How many reasons are identified for "Zoom Fatigue" in the passage?
(1 个单词) ______
(3) According to previous studies,how can staring into mirrors make people
feel?(不多于 9 单词) ______
(4) In your opinion,how can one avoid "Zoom Fatigue"?(单词数不限) ______
