 阅读理解

When I was very young, people in our village lived by planting fruit trees. My grandmother always took me to the orchard(果园)on the hill. At that time, they had to carry water from the river at the foot of the hill to halfway up the hill. Even though we worked so hard, the production level of fruit was still low because it was short of water there.

One day, two young men led a group of workers to our village. They learned about the difficulties we faced, and later, canals and other projects began to be built in my village."Who are they? "I asked."They are good men from our government," my grandma replied.

Shortly afterwards, I moved to another city for my junior high school. The only reason I ever came back to my hometown was my grandmother.

One day, my family and I made time to return. We were surprised because everything had changed. The canal ran past every orchard so villagers didn't have to go up and down the hill anymore. The river was now so clean that fish swam happily in it. When we arrived home, my grandma took out some fresh pears and apples. She told us that after the water conservation project(水利工程)was completed, a policy(政策)was made to encourage more people to increase the fruit production with clean water in the river.

Thank those good men who have devoted themselves to the development of our countryside. Nowadays,people work hard to live in a big city. However,we should not forget our hometowns where we are from.

(1)、What troubled the villagers most according to Para.1?
A、They had too much work. B、They could only grow fruit trees. C、There wasn't enough water in the orchard. D、It was not easy to go up the hill.
(2)、Why did the good men come and offer help?
A、Because of the villagers' suggestions. B、Because of the government's support. C、Because of a school's practical activity. D、Because of a company's engineering plan
(3)、What can we infer from the passage?
A、The grandmother doesn't like to live in the city. B、The village is a place of interest for tourists now. C、There will be more fruit production in the village D、More people like to work in the countryside nowadays.
(4)、What is the passage mainly about?
A、What a hometown means B、Who the good men are. C、How a village is improved. D、Why people come back to hometowns.

用所给单词的适当形式填空

The fear of the novel coronavirus(新冠病毒) has turned into discrimination (歧视) against certain groups of people, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(include) people from Wuhan, Chinese people or Asians in general. However, the outbreak of the disease can't be an excuse to isolate these groups. What we should do is {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(get) rid of (消除) discrimination and show sympathy (同情) instead.

Since the outbreak of novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP), many people {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(live) in fear. This is normal, as the disease is infectious (传染性的) and dangerous. However, some people turn pale at the mention of "people from Wuhan or Hubei province", the center of the outbreak.

    Ding Baixing, a doctor at Huashan Hospital in Shanghai, has seen this himself. He treated a suspected (疑似的) patient {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(name)Chen Hui who traveled from Wuhan to Shanghai. Chen appeared desperate (绝望的) and avoided {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(keep)in touch with other patients, as he worried that they would be afraid of him.

    Chen is not alone. Chen Xue, an editor {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(work) in Beijing, went to Chongli in Hebei for a ski trip on Jan 23. Though her temperature was fine and she hasn't been to her hometown – Hubei province – since October last year, the hotel she was in told her that it {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(will not) receive Hubei guests from the next day.

    However, the real enemy is the virus – not the patients or people from Wuhan or Hubei province. Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong echoed this idea in a speech at the Chinese New Year dinner. "Even though the virus started in Wuhan, it doesn't respect nationality or race (种族). It does not check your passport (护照) before it goes into your body. Anybody can be infected," he said.

    It is not the {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(patient) fault that they have been infected. There is no reason to blame them. If patients didn't go to the hospital for fear of discrimination, the virus {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(spread) to more people. "Protecting them is just as important as protecting ourselves," Ding said. 

Poem that inspires

At the CCTV Spring Festival Gala (春节联欢晚会), six hosts read a poem to inspire people across the country. It called for greater respect for medical workers, as well as called on everyone to work together to fight the virus. One of the lines – "we isolate (隔离) the virus, but we don't isolate love" – has been {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(wide) posted online.

The last Eurasian lynx (猞猁) in the British Isles lived a life of danger as it moved quickly to avoid campfires and vicious dogs, and hid in holes. Because of disappearing woodlands, being short of animals for food, and hunting, lynx started to disappear from these islands about 1, 500 years ago. But experts hope to one day bring the Eurasian lynx back to Scotland. 

Wildlife conservationists (环保主义者) in Switzerland, Germany, France, and other countries have taken Eurasian lynx from elsewhere in their areas and introduced them again to protected forests, allowing their populations to grow. Now they' re hoping to do the same thing in Scotland. Returning the cats would do more than just improve the numbers of this once- endangered animal. A win for the lynx is a win for the forest- and the planet. 

When the Eurasian lynx disappeared, so did the Scottish landscape. Without these cats and other animals hunting them, deer populations increased a lot. Those animals lived on the leaves of trees and bushes for food, and soon large areas of the Scottish forest disappeared since it couldn't grow fast enough to keep up with the deer's wish for food. Birds and rodents (啮齿动物) that depended on shelter (庇护所) in the lower level of forest plants became food for foxes, which lynx also hunt. 

Experts trying to restore the forests have to put up fences to keep deer from eating leaves of young trees. But with lynx hanging out in the woods, experts think these cats would keep the deer from harming the young trees, helping the forests make a comeback. 

And that would have even bigger influences. The Earth is losing woodlands as people cut down trees to make room for farming, and to sell the wood for products like furniture and toilet paper. In 2020 alone, the Earth lost as many trees as would cover an area larger than Michigan. 

So restoring forests in places like Scotland can help provide more space for wildlife and even fight climate change. That's because trees take in carbon dioxide, which takes in the sun's heat and warms our planet.

 The Palace Museum, a widely visited cultural landmark in Beijing, announced new visiting rules on Thursday. These rules include a ban(禁令) on"interviews" and"commercial(商业的) photography". Without the museum' s permission, activities such as performances, on-site surveys and religious events are not allowed. The new rules will come into effect on June 30. Those who seriously break the rules will be listed as"uncivilized tourists".

 Fang Qiongqiong, a cultural sociologist in Shanghai, said these rules were made to prevent chaos(混乱) and improper behavior at historical sites like the Palace Muse um. She added that balancing the social and cultural role was a difficult task.

 Efforts to stop improper behavior at popular tourist spots in China have increased. The Palace Museum' s ban on commercial photo shoots is a noticeable change. A staff member said commercial photo shoots were often seen at the museum and sometimes put off the closing time.

 The museum's new rules, especially the ban on photography and filming, have become a hot topic on Sina Weibo. Netizens have different opinions. Some wonder if online streaming will also be banned. One netizen supports the new rule, saying the age of short videos is excessive and people can do crazy things in public places to attract attention.

 According to data, the Palace Museum welcomed 30,000 visitors on January 1, one of its busiest days. Tags like"Palace Museum' s autumn view" and"snowy Palace Museum" are popular on The Little Red Book. Chen remarked that the new ban might reduce the museum's exposure(曝光) on the Internet.

 The notice also said day tickets would no longer be sold at the museum entrance. All visitors must make reservations in advance with their real names.

 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

Studies show that people now have more free time than ever before. Then why doesn't it feel that way? These days, many of us spend lots of free time playing with our phones. Pictures and information keep getting into our minds, so it's no wonder(难怪) we don't feel fully relaxed. To help you feel relaxed and energetic, it is important to use your free time wisely. Here is how to do it.

Set your goals. Think about what you want to achieve in your free time. Do you want to get fit, learn something new or just relax? Don't worry about what you should do. Just think about what will bring you satisfaction(满足感).

Get creative. When we watch TV or read, we are only taking things in. Try to be a producer for a change. Build a model or write a blog. You will use different parts of your brains and feel more energetic as a result.

Meet like-minded people. Everyone has different interests, so don't expect your friends to be into the same things as you. You can join a club and get to know people with the same interests as you.

Guard your time. Don't let anything else take up(占据) your free time. For example, ____. Otherwise (否则), the line between your free time and everyday life will be unclear, and you won't feel relaxed.

Once you're fully relaxed, you can think about what you'd like to improve in your life. Want to be stronger? Learn a skill? There are many groups, clubs and classes that you can join to help you start a new life. So just get out there and enjoy yourself!
