Yesterday, a salesman called me by phone, on behalf of a telecom company, to sell his phone plans. I was at work and I usually didn’t like telemarketing (电话销售), so I excused myself that I couldn’t talk yet and said he could call me back one hour later, at 6:00 pm.

That’s what he did. So we talked for 15 minutes. He explained to me his different phone plans, which he stated to be better than my current one. While listening to him, sometimes I was lost in my thoughts and I gave several “hmm hmm” as a sign of agreement to convince him that I was still there. Sometimes, I felt a bit impatient, especially as he had difficulty in correctly talking in French. But I stayed calm and polite until the end of the discussion.

At the end of the conversation, he revealed (袒露) the following to me: “Thank you, Linda. You are the first person in a long time with whom I had an enjoyable conversation. Usually, people shout at us, speak to us rudely, and treat us as thieves. Today, since 10:00 am, I hadn’t had a conversation without an offense. I know you had a long day at work and you could have relaxed in front of your TV. Instead, you listened carefully to me. I sincerely thank you. I wanted to tell it to you.”

I thanked him for this revelation. I realized how much he could have been the subject of verbal violence, all through his working days. Unfortunately, the telephone enables the customers to have such aggressive behavior. Indeed, physical barriers do not exist in this situation and a kind of dehumanization (非人性化) seems to happen. I am also conscious that those people getting impatient could have been me. Yet, he was only doing his job and he shouldn’t have suffered from the violence.

24. Why did the author let the salesman call back later？

A. She meant to refuse him at once.

B. She showed interest in his phone plans.

C. She hoped for more about telemarketing.

D. She wanted to use the way to discourage him.

25. How can we describe the author during the 15-minute talk？

A. Patient.              B. Careful.

C. Kind of absent-minded.    D. Obviously impolite.

26. What did the salesman intend to express in Paragraph 3？

A. His deep apology.                   B. His true appreciation.

C. His anger at misunderstanding.         D. His sufferings in telemarketing.

27. What does the underlined part “verbal violence” in Paragraph 4 refer to？

A. Unkind spoken words.              B. Physical barriers.

C. Salesmen’s impatience.       D. Customers’ Humanization.

C

Facing a pandemic (流行病) lockdown can make people feel worried. But nothing has represented this panicky behavior more than hoarding (囤积), specifically toilet paper.

Seemingly beyond borders and cultures, people have been clearing supermarket shelves primarily for this necessity. But what’s the reason for this sudden toilet paper fixation？Steven Taylor told the Independent that our toilet paper hoarding is a product of our strong dislike. During a pandemic, people’s sensitivity to dislike increases. “Dislike is like an alarm mechanism... and what better tool for getting rid of disliking material than toilet paper. I think this is how it became a conditioned symbol of safety.” he said.

Niki Edwards of The Queensland University of Technology said, “When people hear about the virus, they are afraid of losing control. And toilet paper feels like a way to maintain control over cleanliness.”

Another reason behind this toilet paper trend, according to the BBC, is the snowball effect. Due to its coverage, both in the news and social media, people naturally ask, “Will there be enough toilet paper for my family and me？” This always leads to more people following the crowd and buying toilet paper because of their fear of missing out.

“Fear is very catching. So when those sorts of things go about like viruses, when you see people around you buying things in a panicky way, it’s going to make you feel more anxious.” wrote American psychologist Baruch Fischhoff for CNBC.

While there are, of course, selfish people who collect a large supply of toilet paper just because they can, it’s worth judging the importance of things correctly. Remember, just as countries are cooperating to find a vaccine(疫苗), we must cooperate to ensure that everyone has their share of necessities.

28. Why do people buy toilet paper crazily during a pandemic lockdown？

A. They are in a panic.                 B. They are unhappy.

C. They are short of toilet paper.          D. They are tired of cleanliness.

29. What effect does the media have on the trend according to the BBC？

1. Warning.         B. Pushing.        C. Unknown.           D. Slight.

30. What does the author want to say in the last paragraph？

A. We are lack of the basic necessities of life.

B. We should be united against the pandemic.

C. People are selfish to collect toilet paper. 

D. Countries should share vaccines all the time.

31. What can be the best title for the text？

A. Hoarding under the Pandemic   B. Being Afraid of Missing out

C. Cleaning Supermarket Shelves   D. Strange Behavior Worldwide

D

Tree planting used to be regarded as an effective means of controlling climate change. Perhaps it’s time for us to rethink this practice. Trees pull carbon dioxide or CO2 from the air. This effectively removes CO2 from the atmosphere, making trees an important part of the fight against climate change. But trees only hold onto carbon dioxide as long as they’re alive. Once they die, trees decay (腐烂) and release that CO2 back into the atmosphere.

Recent studies have found that trees around the world are growing faster than ever. Rising atmospheric CO2is probably driving that rapid growth, said Roel Brienen. High levels of this gas are boosting temperatures, which in turn speeds tree growth in those areas, he added. The faster trees grow, the faster they store carbon. It seems like good news. However, it is known that fast-growing tree species, in general, live shorter lives than their slow-growing relatives.
    In order to see whether this is a universal phenomenon, Brienen and his colleagues analyzed over 210,000 individual tree ring records of 110 tree species from more than 70,000 sites worldwide. “By measuring tree rings’ widths one can tell how fast trees grew, while counting rings provides information on tree ages and allows making inferences about trees’ maximum lifespan (寿命).” Brienen explained.

The team also created a computer program that modeled a forest. Early on, it showed that “the forest could hold more carbon as the trees grew faster”, Brienen reported. But after 20 years, these trees started dying and losing this extra carbon again. “We must understand that the only solution to bring down CO2 levels is to stop emitting (排放) it into the atmosphere,” said Brienen.

32. What is the first paragraph mainly about？

A. Where carbon dioxide or CO2 is.

B. Whether trees will be planted or not.

C. Why the atmosphere can remove carbon dioxide.

D. Why trees against climate change should be rethought.

33. Why are trees growing faster than ever according to recent studies？

1. They give off and store lots of CO2.   B. They belong to fast-growing species.

3. Rising atmosphericCO2may help them.   D. The surrounding trees may affect them.

34. According to tree rings’ widths, we can know a tree’s _______.

A. Age.            B. Height.             C. Growth speed.        D. Top lifespan.

35. What might be talked about in the following paragraph？

A. Why the team founded the computer program.

B. Why the faster trees grow, the longer they live.

C. How to make the old trees live a little longer.

D. How to deal with dying trees emitting their extra carbon.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

During the cool months from October to March, camel caravans (骆驼车队)arrive in the desert city of Timbuktu (廷巴克图)every few days. Led by Tuareg and Arab traders, the caravans have traveled from the salt minesof Taoudenni in Mali.    36   Long ago people in the deserts of Africa could not get it easily. Salt was so valuable that 1 ounce of salt was worth 1 ounce of gold.

Nowadays, each salt caravan has from 60 to 300 Camels. Each Camel carries four to six bars of salt. The journey from the mines to Timbuktu takes 15 days.    37  

At Taoudenni, salt is mined from ancient lake-beds that dried up millions of years ago. The mines lie deep below the Earth’s surface and are reached by tunnels. Large blocks of salt are dug out and then cut into small blocks above ground.    38   The local people of the Bella and Haratin groups do the work. However, their wages are so low that they are treated little better than slaves.

   39    Here the salt is sold and carried downriver to other parts of West Africa. So Timbuktu is an important meeting place for the desert travelers. It was also once a center of education, with schools and a university that drew scholars from all of the world.

Trucks are taking the place of camels carrying salt. One truck can carry hundreds of bars of salt. And a truck can make the 900-mile roundtrip in about a week.    40  

A. Mining salt is a very hard job.

B. Traders are familiar with the mines there.

C. Something bad happens to the camels on the way.

D. The days of the camel caravans are coming to an end.

E. It is a trade that has not changed in thousands of years.

F. To avoid the hot sun，the caravans travel only at night.

G. Timbuktu is near a river at the crossroad of three trade routes.
