The bus screamed to a stop in Nazareth, Israel. Five Australian backpackers boarded and struck up a conversation with me. They asked typical travelers' questions—where was I going and why was I traveling alone? My plan was to travel with a friend of a friend, I explained, but when I called her that morning, she didn't pick up and I had no other way to reach her. My stomach was in knots, but I decided to head out anyway, thinking I might run into her if I traveled to Tiberius, where we had planned to go together.
“Why don't you travel with us?” one of the backpackers offered. They were experienced adventurers who would work for a few months, save, then travel for as long as they could. Their current plan was to explore the Middle East and Europe in three months while working in London.
It seemed risky to travel with strangers, but my instinct said yes. For the next two weeks, I explored Israel with the backpackers and learned to trust my instincts in all types of new and interesting situations. When they hook a ride, I took the bus, but when they wanted to steal into the King David Hotel's swimming pool, I led the way. The world opened up to me because I chose to travel alone. I joined complete strangers, who become close friends. Years later, one couple from the backpacking group even flew from Sydney to Phoenix to be in my wedding. The trip was such a special experience that it gave me confidence in all areas of my life. Since then, I've backpacked alone across South Africa, sky-dived from 12,000 feet in New Zealand and even moved across the U.S. with no job lined up.
On my third day wandering in Israel with my new friends, I bumped into the woman I was supposed to meet. Though I was happy she was all right, I was grateful she hadn't picked up the phone.
24．By “My stomach was in knots” (in paragraph 1), the author most likely means that she was _____.
A．sick of riding on a bumpy bus B．nervous of meeting strangers
C．upset about the sudden change D．sorry about the impractical plan
25．Which of the following best describes the backpackers the author met?
A．Courageous but disrespectful. B．Jobless and poorly educated.
C．Warmhearted and trustworthy. D．Homeless but lighthearted.
26．The author's sixth sense told her that ______.
A．she would get along with the backpackers B．it might cause trouble to have a swim
C．she ought to stay away from the backpackers D．it could add excitement to get a free ride
27．What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Most of the backpackers became the author's lifelong friends.
B．The author gathered the courage to be a fulltime backpack traveler.
C．The woman missed the phone call with the purpose of traveling alone.
D．The author considered it the best decision of her life to travel on her own.

For centuries, people have kept large amounts of cash at home during difficult times. But during the coronavirus crisis, things are different. Metal coins and paper bills can be a source of worry rather than hope.
The fear is that these objects, possibly touched by thousands of people, could provide a way for the coronavirus to spread. Public officials and health experts have said that the risk is small. Still, some businesses refuse to accept cash and some countries have suggested that their citizens should stop using it altogether.
Zachary Cohle is an economics professor at Quinnipiac University in Connecticut. “In many areas, cash was already beginning to disappear due to the increased risk of robbery, the ease of Internet ordering, and the ubiquity of cell phones,” he said. “Sweden, Finland, Norway, Canada and others have slowly reduced cash use to the point where using it in large amounts seems unusual. Britain and Australia are expected to become cashless countries. And in China, cash use has dropped as electronic payment services have increased in popularity over the past decade.”
“Cash ist Fesch” is a common saying in Austria and southern Germany. The words mean cash is beautiful. But since the virus outbreak, shops that have remained open there, like grocery stores, have encouraged people to pay with cards. And Germany's central bank said 43 percent of Germans recently paid for goods and services with a card. The Bank of Japan estimates that cash makes up for 53 percent of household assets. But the threat of the coronavirus could move the country toward going cashless, said Hiroki Maruyama, head of the nonprofit Fintech Association of Japan. He added, “The culture is slowly changing.”
However, cash use is still common in places like West and Central Africa. Some experts say that the world will not be cashless until everyone and every country has reliable access to the Internet.
28．Why is cash regarded as a source of worry?
A．Cash may carry viruses after being used. B．Some countries refuse to accept cash.
C．It's risky to keep a lot of cash at home. D．Cash can't be used during the crisis.
29．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．The disadvantages of paying in cash.
B．The introduction to cashless countries.
C．The present situation of cash use worldwide.
D．The increasing popularity of electronic payment.
30．What do we know from the example of Germany and Japan?
A．Shops in Germany only take cash because it's beautiful.
B．Less than half of the Germans still like to pay goods in cash.
C．More than half of the Japanese prefer to put cash in the bank.
D．The Japanese are changing their traditional attitudes to cash.
31．Why is it impossible for the world to be cashless according to the passage?
A．The virus crisis will last for a long time.
B．The habit of paying in cash is hard to change.
C．The Internet is not available in all the countries.
D．People in Africa can't afford the banking services.
D
In 1926, US automaker Henry Ford shortened its employees' workweek from six eight-hour days to five, with no pay cuts. It's something workers and labor unions had been calling for. Ford wasn't responding to worker demands； he was being a businessman. He expected increased productivity and knew workers with more time and money would buy and use the products they were making. It was a way of encouraging consumerism and productivity to increase profits, and it succeeded.
Since standardization of the 40-hour workweek in the mid-20th century, everything has changed but the hours. If anything, many people are working even longer hours, especially in North America. This has a severe influence on human health and well-being, as well as the environment. Until the Second World War, it was common for one person in a family, usually the oldest male, to work full-time. Now, women make up 42 percent of the world's full-time workforce. Technology has made a lot of work unnecessary, with computers and robots doing many tasks previously performed by humans.
Well into the 21st century, we continue to work the same long hours as 20th century laborers, using up ever more of Earth's supply to produce more goods that we must keep working to buy, use and replace in a seemingly endless cycle of hard work and consumption. It's time to pause and consider better ways to live like shifting from fossil-fueled lifestyles with which our consumer-based workweeks are connected.
The UK think tank, New Economics (经济学) Foundation, argues that a standard 21-hour workweek would address a number of interconnected problems： "overwork, unemployment, over-consumption, high carbon emissions, low well-being, and the lack of time to live sustainably, to care for each other, and simply to enjoy life".
Economic systems that require constant growth on a finite (有限的) planet don't make sense. It's time for a change in our economic thinking.
32．Why did Ford decide to shorten the workweek?
A．To cut workers' pay. B．To make more profits.
C．To respond to worker demands. D．To meet labor unions, requirements.
33．What change in the workforce happened after World War Ⅱ ?
A．More women worked full-time.
B．The number of laborers decreased.
C．Technology enabled people to work shorter hours.
D．It was unnecessary for a family's oldest male to work.
34．What can we infer from the third paragraph?
A．Longer working hours means better consumption ability.
B．The 21st century sees the longest working hours in history.
C．The cycle of hard work and consumption should be changed.
D．Pausing our way of living can change the present workweek.
35．New Economics Foundation thinks a 21-hour workweek will _______.
A．increase unemployment B．cause various problems
C．encourage people to enjoy life D．challenge the economic growth

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。
Larrella was born in Deora, a small village in eastern India, but moved to the city of Mumbai when she was 3. In 2020, when the pandemic(疫情)broke out, the family returned to her ancestral village to wait out the pandemic.
It greatly shocked her when she found that attending school was uncommon in Deora, where almost half of the villagers couldn't read. Unable to afford textbooks, many families often withdrew their children from schools. They didn't wish to educate their children, many of whom had to work in the fields with parents though some had the desire to read.
Larrella, the college girl with a strong sense of social responsibility, has been trying to seize opportunities to open doors for others. She often speaks at inter college events on the right to education and enjoys a high reputation among college students.
Used to taking on challenges, Larrella was determined to do something for the children. One day last July, Larrella sat down with her family elders and proposed the idea of setting up a library. Many shook their heads in disagreement--this wasn't how a young girl should spend her time.
After many discussions, Larrella finally convinced them and gained access to her relative's guesthouse, mending it with $67 that she'd won in public speaking awards. She took the help of her uncle, Akbar, and cousin, Nawaz, and got to work. Walls were repainted, the bamboo roof was repaired and lights and bookshelves were fixed, and the room was filled with chairs and a long table. Vivid charts stuck on the walls--from anatomy (解剖) to transportation, lightened the space. Looking at the newly decorated “library”, Larrella couldn't hold back her excitement while imagining the children reading books here by light.
All was ready except books. So what Larrella was desperate to do next was fill the shelves with books. She drew on all her savings and purchased many hooks suitable for children online. But her effort was not enough.
注意：
1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。

Dear Jim,
I’m very pleased to know from your e-mail you’re coming to travel in China.
As for which city to visit, I guess Beijing is the best choice. To begin with, as a capital city, Beijing is not only the political and culture centre but also scientific and educational heart, from which you can have a general understanding of China. What’s more, the ancient and modern city will provide you with its rich and varied history and scenery.
I recommend you travel by subway. It’s convenient to travel by subway around Beijing and you can avoid traffic jam and travel environment friendly.
looking forward to your coming!
Yours
Li Hua.
作文2：
She wanted to get more help. To ensure children get access to more books, Larrella took pictures of the library and uploaded them online, calling on students to donate books to the children library. Before long, hundreds of new and secondhand books poured in, but they needed checking, classifying and arranging in order on the shelves, which took Larrella, her uncle and cousin a whole week. Tired as Larrella was, a smile lit up her face when she pictured the scene where children were buried in reading by the book-filled shelves.
The big day finally came. Several children stepped in curiously, asking Larrella, “Can we read the books?” “Sure. Welcome!” Larrella encouraged them. Some chose what they liked, while others hesitated. Realizing they had trouble reading, Larrella gathered them in a corner, teaching them from the very beginning. Soon more children joined in. Every night Larrella spared some time to give lessons so that more children could gain knowledge from the books. Larrella’s efforts opened the wisdom door for them, which would surely make a great difference to their lives.

W: Well, that leaves Asia, South America and Europe. Oh, I almost forgot Australia. Are you interested in seeing anything in particular? Historical monuments? Museums? Countryside? People?
M: Monuments might be interesting, but museums are too boring. I’d like to see a little night life, too. If I’m going to spend lots of money on a trip, I don’t want to be bored.
W: It sounds as if you would do as well to go to Europe — possibly to France, Spain or Italy. There are excellent hotels, so many interesting sights to see and plenty of night clubs.
M: Well, you’ve convinced me. I’ll take a ticket to Paris. They say the night clubs are really wonderful too.
(Text 10)
M: Do you know when and how bicycles began? Well, in the eighteenth century, cities became larger and larger. And people moved from the countryside and small towns to the cities because there was more work for them to do in the cities. On Sundays and holidays, they liked to leave the cities and have a good time in the countryside. But not every family had a horse. So people needed a simpler means of transportation, and inventors in many countries tried to solve this problem.
Therefore, the first bicycle, which was very simple, appeared in 1790 in France. People called it “the horse on wheels”, but it was difficult to ride and it also felt uncomfortable. Then in 1861, after many improvements being made, bicycles became a practical means of transportation. And people liked bicycles, because they were not as expensive as horses, and better still, they didn’t need to be fed. However, they could go anywhere and were easy to ride.

The bus screamed to a stop in Nazareth, Israel. Five Australian backpackers boarded and struck up a conversation with me. They asked typical travelers' questions—where was I going and why was I traveling alone? My plan was to travel with a friend of a friend, I explained, but when I called her that morning, she didn't pick up and I had no other way to reach her. My stomach was in knots, but I decided to head out anyway, thinking I might run into her if I traveled to Tiberius, where we had planned to go together.
“Why don't you travel with us?” one of the backpackers offered. They were experienced adventurers who would work for a few months, save, then travel for as long as they could. Their current plan was to explore the Middle East and Europe in three months while working in London.
It seemed risky to travel with strangers, but my instinct said yes. For the next two weeks, I explored Israel with the backpackers and learned to trust my instincts in all types of new and interesting situations. When they hook a ride, I took the bus, but when they wanted to steal into the King David Hotel's swimming pool, I led the way. The world opened up to me because I chose to travel alone. I joined complete strangers, who become close friends. Years later, one couple from the backpacking group even flew from Sydney to Phoenix to be in my wedding. The trip was such a special experience that it gave me confidence in all areas of my life. Since then, I've backpacked alone across South Africa, sky-dived from 12,000 feet in New Zealand and even moved across the U.S. with no job lined up.
On my third day wandering in Israel with my new friends, I bumped into the woman I was supposed to meet. Though I was happy she was all right, I was grateful she hadn't picked up the phone.
24．By “My stomach was in knots” (in paragraph 1), the author most likely means that she was _____.
A．sick of riding on a bumpy bus B．nervous of meeting strangers
C．upset about the sudden change D．sorry about the impractical plan
25．Which of the following best describes the backpackers the author met?
A．Courageous but disrespectful. B．Jobless and poorly educated.
C．Warmhearted and trustworthy. D．Homeless but lighthearted.
26．The author's sixth sense told her that ______.
A．she would get along with the backpackers B．it might cause trouble to have a swim
C．she ought to stay away from the backpackers D．it could add excitement to get a free ride
27．What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Most of the backpackers became the author's lifelong friends.
B．The author gathered the courage to be a fulltime backpack traveler.
C．The woman missed the phone call with the purpose of traveling alone.
D．The author considered it the best decision of her life to travel on her own.

For centuries, people have kept large amounts of cash at home during difficult times. But during the coronavirus crisis, things are different. Metal coins and paper bills can be a source of worry rather than hope.
The fear is that these objects, possibly touched by thousands of people, could provide a way for the coronavirus to spread. Public officials and health experts have said that the risk is small. Still, some businesses refuse to accept cash and some countries have suggested that their citizens should stop using it altogether.
Zachary Cohle is an economics professor at Quinnipiac University in Connecticut. “In many areas, cash was already beginning to disappear due to the increased risk of robbery, the ease of Internet ordering, and the ubiquity of cell phones,” he said. “Sweden, Finland, Norway, Canada and others have slowly reduced cash use to the point where using it in large amounts seems unusual. Britain and Australia are expected to become cashless countries. And in China, cash use has dropped as electronic payment services have increased in popularity over the past decade.”
“Cash ist Fesch” is a common saying in Austria and southern Germany. The words mean cash is beautiful. But since the virus outbreak, shops that have remained open there, like grocery stores, have encouraged people to pay with cards. And Germany's central bank said 43 percent of Germans recently paid for goods and services with a card. The Bank of Japan estimates that cash makes up for 53 percent of household assets. But the threat of the coronavirus could move the country toward going cashless, said Hiroki Maruyama, head of the nonprofit Fintech Association of Japan. He added, “The culture is slowly changing.”
However, cash use is still common in places like West and Central Africa. Some experts say that the world will not be cashless until everyone and every country has reliable access to the Internet.
28．Why is cash regarded as a source of worry?
A．Cash may carry viruses after being used. B．Some countries refuse to accept cash.
C．It's risky to keep a lot of cash at home. D．Cash can't be used during the crisis.
29．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．The disadvantages of paying in cash.
B．The introduction to cashless countries.
C．The present situation of cash use worldwide.
D．The increasing popularity of electronic payment.
30．What do we know from the example of Germany and Japan?
A．Shops in Germany only take cash because it's beautiful.
B．Less than half of the Germans still like to pay goods in cash.
C．More than half of the Japanese prefer to put cash in the bank.
D．The Japanese are changing their traditional attitudes to cash.
31．Why is it impossible for the world to be cashless according to the passage?
A．The virus crisis will last for a long time.
B．The habit of paying in cash is hard to change.
C．The Internet is not available in all the countries.
D．People in Africa can't afford the banking services.
D
In 1926, US automaker Henry Ford shortened its employees' workweek from six eight-hour days to five, with no pay cuts. It's something workers and labor unions had been calling for. Ford wasn't responding to worker demands； he was being a businessman. He expected increased productivity and knew workers with more time and money would buy and use the products they were making. It was a way of encouraging consumerism and productivity to increase profits, and it succeeded.
Since standardization of the 40-hour workweek in the mid-20th century, everything has changed but the hours. If anything, many people are working even longer hours, especially in North America. This has a severe influence on human health and well-being, as well as the environment. Until the Second World War, it was common for one person in a family, usually the oldest male, to work full-time. Now, women make up 42 percent of the world's full-time workforce. Technology has made a lot of work unnecessary, with computers and robots doing many tasks previously performed by humans.
Well into the 21st century, we continue to work the same long hours as 20th century laborers, using up ever more of Earth's supply to produce more goods that we must keep working to buy, use and replace in a seemingly endless cycle of hard work and consumption. It's time to pause and consider better ways to live like shifting from fossil-fueled lifestyles with which our consumer-based workweeks are connected.
The UK think tank, New Economics (经济学) Foundation, argues that a standard 21-hour workweek would address a number of interconnected problems： "overwork, unemployment, over-consumption, high carbon emissions, low well-being, and the lack of time to live sustainably, to care for each other, and simply to enjoy life".
Economic systems that require constant growth on a finite (有限的) planet don't make sense. It's time for a change in our economic thinking.
32．Why did Ford decide to shorten the workweek?
A．To cut workers' pay. B．To make more profits.
C．To respond to worker demands. D．To meet labor unions, requirements.
33．What change in the workforce happened after World War Ⅱ ?
A．More women worked full-time.
B．The number of laborers decreased.
C．Technology enabled people to work shorter hours.
D．It was unnecessary for a family's oldest male to work.
34．What can we infer from the third paragraph?
A．Longer working hours means better consumption ability.
B．The 21st century sees the longest working hours in history.
C．The cycle of hard work and consumption should be changed.
D．Pausing our way of living can change the present workweek.
35．New Economics Foundation thinks a 21-hour workweek will _______.
A．increase unemployment B．cause various problems
C．encourage people to enjoy life D．challenge the economic growth

The new technology could enable more people 62 (access) the cultural relics despite the distance. In June, 2020, the Zhejiang University Cultural Relics Research Institute and Yungang Grottoes Research Institute together “copied and pasted” Cave No. 12 of the Yungang Grottoes for an

Larrella was born in Deora, a small village in eastern India, but moved to the city of Mumbai when she was 3. In 2020, when the pandemic(疫情)broke out, the family returned to her ancestral village to wait out the pandemic.
It greatly shocked her when she found that attending school was uncommon in Deora, where almost half of the villagers couldn't read. Unable to afford textbooks, many families often withdrew their children from schools. They didn't wish to educate their children, many of whom had to work in the fields with parents though some had the desire to read.
Larrella, the college girl with a strong sense of social responsibility, has been trying to seize opportunities to open doors for others. She often speaks at inter college events on the right to education and enjoys a high reputation among college students.
Used to taking on challenges, Larrella was determined to do something for the children. One day last July, Larrella sat down with her family elders and proposed the idea of setting up a library. Many shook their heads in disagreement--this wasn't how a young girl should spend her time.
After many discussions, Larrella finally convinced them and gained access to her relative's guesthouse, mending it with $67 that she'd won in public speaking awards. She took the help of her uncle, Akbar, and cousin, Nawaz, and got to work. Walls were repainted, the bamboo roof was repaired and lights and bookshelves were fixed, and the room was filled with chairs and a long table. Vivid charts stuck on the walls--from anatomy (解剖) to transportation, lightened the space. Looking at the newly decorated “library”, Larrella couldn't hold back her excitement while imagining the children reading books here by light.
All was ready except books. So what Larrella was desperate to do next was fill the shelves with books. She drew on all her savings and purchased many hooks suitable for children online. But her effort was not enough.
注意：
1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右；

Dear Jim,
I’m very pleased to know from your e-mail you’re coming to travel in China.
As for which city to visit, I guess Beijing is the best choice. To begin with, as a capital city, Beijing is not only the political and culture centre but also scientific and educational heart, from which you can have a general understanding of China. What’s more, the ancient and modern city will provide you with its rich and varied history and scenery.
I recommend you travel by subway. It’s convenient to travel by subway around Beijing and you can avoid traffic jam and travel environment friendly.
looking forward to your coming!
Yours
Li Hua.
作文2：
She wanted to get more help. To ensure children get access to more books, Larrella took pictures of the library and uploaded them online, calling on students to donate books to the children library. Before long, hundreds of new and secondhand books poured in, but they needed checking, classifying and arranging in order on the shelves, which took Larrella, her uncle and cousin a whole week. Tired as Larrella was, a smile lit up her face when she pictured the scene where children were buried in reading by the book-filled shelves.
The big day finally came. Several children stepped in curiously, asking Larrella, “Can we read the books?” “Sure. Welcome!” Larrella encouraged them. Some chose what they liked, while others hesitated. Realizing they had trouble reading, Larrella gathered them in a corner, teaching them from the very beginning. Soon more children joined in. Every night Larrella spared some time to give lessons so that more children could gain knowledge from the books. Larrella’s efforts opened the wisdom door for them, which would surely make a great difference to their lives.

M: Have you seen my glasses? I can’t find them anywhere.
W: Go in the bathroom and look in the mirror.
M: You mean I’ve got them on. How could that be?
W: You’re the most absent-minded person I’ve ever met.
M: I can’t deny it. I’d lost my head if it weren’t placed on my shoulders.
W: I’ll never forget the time you went fishing and forgot to take your fishing pole.
M: I won’t forget it either, but that’s not the most memorable example of my forgetfulness.
W: How about the time you started to leave without having any pants on?
M: No, that’s not it.
W: I’m tired of guessing, tell me.
M: You never would have guessed. Well, anyway, the day we were supposed to get married was such a beautiful day that I forgot all about the wedding and went fishing instead.

M: I have a three-week vacation coming up in a few months, and I want to take a trip. But I don’t really know where I want to go.
W: Do you want to stay in this country, or would you prefer to go abroad?
M: I think I’d like to visit a foreign country. I’m not interested in Africa, but anyplace else would be fine.
W: Well, that leaves Asia, South America and Europe. Oh, I almost forgot Australia. Are you interested in seeing anything in particular? Historical monuments? Museums? Countryside? People?
M: Monuments might be interesting, but museums are too boring. I’d like to see a little night life, too. If I’m going to spend lots of money on a trip, I don’t want to be bored.
W: It sounds as if you would do as well to go to Europe — possibly to France, Spain or Italy. There are excellent hotels, so many interesting sights to see and plenty of night clubs.
M: Well, you’ve convinced me. I’ll take a ticket to Paris. They say the night clubs are really wonderful too.

M: Do you know when and how bicycles began? Well, in the eighteenth century, cities became larger and larger. And people moved from the countryside and small towns to the cities because there was more work for them to do in the cities. On Sundays and holidays, they liked to leave the cities and have a good time in the countryside. But not every family had a horse. So people needed a simpler means of transportation, and inventors in many countries tried to solve this problem.
Therefore, the first bicycle, which was very simple, appeared in 1790 in France. People called it “the horse on wheels”, but it was difficult to ride and it also felt uncomfortable. Then in 1861, after many improvements being made, bicycles became a practical means of transportation. And people liked bicycles, because they were not as expensive as horses, and better still, they didn’t need to be fed. However, they could go anywhere and were easy to ride.
