For the last month, a married couple has been interacting with a robot—called an Avatar—that's controlled by their daughter hundreds of miles away. Made by ANA Holdings Inc.,it looks like a vacuum cleaner(真空吸尘器) with an iPad attached. But the screen displays the daughter's face as they chat, and its wheels let her move about the house as though she's really there.     "Virtual travel" is nothing new, of course. Storytellers, travel writers and artists have been inspiring the senses of armchair tourists (足不出户的旅行者)for centuries. It's only in recent decades that frequent, safe travel has become available to the non-wealthy.     Yet even as the worlds middle classes climb out of the armchair and into economy-class seats, there are hints of a post-travel society coming. Concerns about sustainability(可持续发展)are causing a loss to carbon-intensive airlines, which do harm to our environment. And the aging of wealthy societies is both limiting physical travel and creating demand for alternative ways to experience the world. For the travel industry, virtual reality offers an inviting response to these trends.     Of course, far-out technologies encourage far-out claims. ANA doesn't plan to start selling Avatars until next year. Profits, too, will probably be a barrier. By one estimate, the global market for this kind of technology will be worth only about ﹩300 million by 2023.By contrast, ANA's traditional travel business brought in more than ﹩19 billion last year. But if the business case for virtual vacations is still weak, the market for technologies that bridge physical distances between families and coworkers seems likely to only expand. ANA's robots may not replace its airplanes any time soon, but they'll almost certainly be a part of travels high-tech future.4.What do we know about Avatar？ ______ A. It'll take the place of ANA's airplanes soon. B. It s a kind of the latest vacuum cleaner.C. It is invented by ANA Holdings Inc. D. It's on sale right now.5.What prevents Avatars coming into market at present？ ______ A. Lower Profits.  B. Aging society.C. Physical distances between families. D. Concerns about environment.6.The writer's attitude towards future virtual travel is ______ .A. Critical. B. Objective. C. Doubtful. D. Positive.7.What's the best title for the passage？ ______ A. Difficulties for the armchair tourists B. The coming trend of virtual vacationC. Something about virtual reality D. The popularity of Avatar3.    Whether it's studying for exams, working on a project or struggling with an essay, we've all been under huge stress at some point. When it gets hard for us to bear, we can reach a level of exhaustion - the terrible burnout (倦怠).However, that feeling of exhaustion is not just physical; it can be mental as well.     According to Psychology Today, burnout isn't just caused by working long hours; it is more about prolonged or repeated exposure to a stressful situation.     Its result can be feelings of cynicism, depression and lethargy(嗜睡).Suffering from burnout can stifle(扼杀)our creativity and productivity .Ironically, this means that striving to be more efficient can result in a reduction in our productivity. But what can we do to avoid the evils of burnout？Well, there are some tips that may help you.     Psychologist Albert Bandura's idea of self-efficacy - which is the theory that you should believe in your ability to complete a task at hand - may assist you. A feeling that the task is achievable and that you are capable of succeeding might make a difficult task less tiresome.     Finding ways to express your creative side may help. Not everyone has creative aspects to their jobs, therefore, they need to find other outlets. They could paint, write or take part in local theatre. All of this may help to free them from the stress that may exist in their working life.     Looking after yourself and your surroundings can also be beneficial. The consequence is that you are surrounded by a cleaner and more positive environment. This, in turn, leads to another tip, which is to have healthy and positive thoughts. Being negative can be incredibly draining(心力交瘁的). Having a positive mental attitude towards everything you do means that you may feel more capable as well. Burnout is a common condition associated with the pressures of the modern world. It's not just a physical condition; it has psychological effects that can impact heavily on your work and life in general. Taking steps to avoid burning out can benefit not just us, but our bosses and families.8.What is the main reason for burnout？ ______ A. Lack of sleep.  B. Working long hours.C. Struggling with an essay. D. Being under stressful situations.9.What effect will burnout have on your work？ ______ A. Making a task easier.  B. Being less creative.C. Working more efficiently. D. Completing work quickly.10.In which way can you avoid the evils of burnout？ ______ A. Focus on your work anyway. B. Doubt your ability in working.C. Expose yourself to positive surroundings. D. Find your creative aspects in the job.11.Which can be the best title for the text？ ______ A. Burnout：A mental condition that deserves attentionB. Burnout：A physical condition that can be ignoredC. Why are people under huge stress in modern lifeD. Why can stress affect your work and life4.    At the time of writing this, it's been eight days since I moved into my dorm room at Montclair State University. Commuting(通勤)or going online completely is not an option for me. I can't drive a car. And I am studying journalism, which is difficult to practice with online-only classes.     Few people are on campus. The school is doing phased move-ins. For the safety of students and staff, you have to fill out charts and forms telling the school exactly where you go and when you will move in.     Housing was not a big concern because the on-campus population has been halved. I moved in at the earliest time I could：Aug.10.During that time, the only people I saw were joggers wheezing up the many hills around my school. To get my double room, I had to fill out an abundance of paperwork. I agreed that in the event that I get COVID-19,I'll move to a single room completely lacking in human contact, besides food delivery and online classes.     And then there was the food situation. It's unknown whether dining options will be open in time for our classes next week, and if they are, how they will be handled. The tables I spent many hours sitting at with friends have all but disappeared. There are plenty of floor signs at the canteen for all students to follow. Instead of sitting down to eat, it was grab-and-go. Pick whatever you want, and an employee will pack it for you in a box and a plastic bag. But here on campus, it's the calm before the storm. Somehow, society hasn't collapsed. Cats and dogs are not raining from the sky. Pigs aren't flying. Right now, it's like a nature reserve. I've seen more birds, deer and squirrels than humans here. My bizarre(怪异的) college situation leaves me with sleepless nights. Much like this whole pandemic(疫情),everything is just one day at a time.12.What are students from Montclair State University required to do？ ______ A. Report their whereabouts. B. Fill out application forms.C. Take online courses at dorms. D. Move in as soon as possible.13.Why did the author feel confident of getting a double room？ ______ A. He was infected with COVID-19. B. There were not so many applicants.C. He came earlier than any other students. D. He submitted all the necessary paperwork.14.What can we learn about the food situation？ ______ A. Food will be delivered by an employee.B. Students will have more choices next week.C. Students are not allowed to eat at the canteen.D. The canteen provides more tables and floor signs.15.Which word best describes the author's attitude to the future？ ______ A. Optimistic. B. Concerned. C. Relaxed. D. Indifferent.5.    The Internet plays a big part in human life. We use it for work and pleasure. We use it to learn a new language. We find advice on it. We use it to connect with family and friends. We use it to stay in touch with events we care about. The list goes on and on.    As far as the Internet being a part of our lives. Well, that train has left the station. This expression means there is no going back to an Internet-free life. But can using the Internet too much be bad for our health? It might be, say researchers. A new study finds that heavy Internet use may be connected to high blood pressure (血压) in a young group: teenagers.    The study results show that teens who spend at least 14 hours a week only may cause high blood pressure, which makes your heart and blood vessels (血管) work too hard. Over time, this extra pressure increases your risk of a heart attack. High blood pressure can also cause heart and other diseases.    The Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan did the study. 335 young people, from 14 to 17 years old, took part in it. 134 of the teens were described as "heavy Internet users". And researchers found that out of these 134 teens, 26 had high blood pressure. The researchers say the study is the first to connect heavy web use with high blood pressure.    The lead researcher is Andrea CassidyBushrow. She said, "Using the Internet is part of our daily life, but it shouldn't ruin us. " Ms. Cassidy-Bushrow adds that it is important for teens to take regular breaks from their computers or smartphones and do some kind of physical activity. She also suggests that parents shouldn't let their children use the Internet for more than two hours a day, five days a week.16.What does the underlined sentence "that train has left the station. " mean in paragraph 2?A.the train has stopped at the wrong station. B.there is something wrong with the station.C.the train has changed its course. D.life without the Internet is nowhere to be found.17.What is Para. 3 mainly about?A.The advantages of Internet use. B.The disadvantages of Internet use.C.The harm of high blood pressure. D.Ways to prevent high blood pressure.18.Andrea CassidyBushrow would agree that _________.A.teenagers shouldn't use the InternetB.the Internet will ruin human life in the futureC.regular breaks are necessary when using the InternetD.smartphones are more harmful than computers19.What can be used as the best title of the passage?A.Heavy Internet users are mostly teenagers.B.How to prevent teenagers from the Internet.C.Every coin has two sides - so does the Internet.D.Too much Internet use may be bad for teenagers6.    Most Chinese people expect to relax and enjoy themselves during the Golden Week. But for those trying to go someplace, it may seem more disappointment than pleasure. This year, the traffic jam resulted in a roadside wedding(婚礼).    The suffering of being stuck in traffic was probably most strongly felt by Lv Kangzhou and his bride(新娘) Yan Mengxia. By tradition, the groom（新郎） drove early in the morning to the bride's home in Zhejiang Province in East China to pick her up along with her family and take them to his family's hometown for the wedding. By 4 pm, Lv's wedding was 90 minutes away, but his car had not moved an inch for a long time. Lv got in touch with the local radio to explain his difficult situation and ask for a traffic forecast. The radio host told Lv there was no way to hold his wedding on time and offered to hold their wedding on the air. At 5：30 pm, Lv and his bride said their vows(发誓) on the side of the road, and Lv's family and friends witnessed the ceremony by listening to the radio.    Lv wasn't the only person stuck in the Golden Week crowds. According to the state news agency Xinhua, 11.7 million people traveled by train on Wednesday. About 120,000 people gathered at Tian'anmen Square in Beijing to watch the flag­raising ceremony. Last year, the Forbidden City in Beijing hosted 175,000 tourists on one day during the Golden Week, and the number is expecting to be even bigger this year.    Chinese Internet users complain about the Golden Week holiday every year. An Internet user Tuzhi said on Sina Weibo: “On the Great Wall, I'm holding your hand, but I cannot see your face.”20.By tradition, the wedding should take place in ________.A.Zhejiang Province  B.a hotelC.the bride's hometown D.the groom's hometown21.Lv, the groom, called the local radio because he wanted to ________.A.ask for help  B.hold their wedding on the airC.complain about the traffic conditions D.find someone to pick them up22.What does the text mainly intend to tell us?A.A successful roadside wedding during the Golden Week.B.The popularity of traveling around during the Golden Week.C.The crowded situation in China during the Golden Week.D.The cause of the heavy traffic in China during the Golden Week.23.Where does this text probably come from?A.A newspaper.  B.A textbook.C.A travel brochure.  D.A TV interview7.Mini Book Excerpts (节选)Biography（自传）When Salinger learned that a car park was to be built on the land,the middle­aged writer was shocked and quickly bought the neighboring area to protect it ...

Red Wolf by Liza Marklund (Atria Books, $25.99)Short StoriesShe wants to say to him what she has learned, none of it in class: Some women are born stupid, and some women are too smart for their own good.

But we often buy food that’s been produced in huge amounts and that’s traveled many miles before it ends up on our plate. So for some, growing their own food is a better choice—and it tastes good too!    From growing vegetables in little pots on your balcony to taking care of a small plot of land, there are many ways to produce home-grown food. It can be backbreaking work digging, weeding and watering the soil, but the result is fresh, home-grown fruits and vegetables, helping us keep a ‘five-a-day’ diet.    The recent Covid-19 pandemic lock-down means demand for homegrown food has seen a comeback in the UK. Miriam Dobson from the University of Sheffield, told the BBC that some people have been spending a lot of their time on their plots, growing plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables—which, at times, have been challenging to buy in supermarkets. She says “Coronavirus has reminded people of the weakness within our global food system. In such a difficult time, interest in self-support rises.”    But for those with limited space, a solution to grow your own vegetables lies closer to home—using pots. Sheila Brand lives in a third-floor flat in Rotterdam. She has managed to grow tomatoes and eggplants and is already harvesting raspberries. She told the BBC watching the plants grow “is very exciting: 'Oh it's got a new leaf!' ”    As well as the benefits of saving money and enjoying tasty food, growing your own from a balcony or window ledge not only improves your well-being and immediate environment, you can actually grow a lot of vegetables. So, maybe it’s time for us all to get planting and develop our green fingers!27.A “five-a-day” diet (Para. 2) probably refers to a diet that include__________ every day.A. Five meals  B. Enough fruits and vegetablesC. Five kinds of rice  D. Plenty of water28.According to Para 3, home-grown food is getting popular again in the UK recently because _____.A. It’s more interesting, cheap and delicious.B. our global food system is doing harm to us.C. It saves the time and money on transportation.D. it can be hard to buy fresh food during the pandemic.29.According to the writer where can you grow your own food if you live in a small flat?A. In a pot.  B. On a plate. C. In a garden. D. On the roof.30.What does the writer imply in the last sentence?A. Growing your own food can do good to your health.B. Growing your own food can make your fingers green.C. Growing your own food can improve your gardening skills.D. Growing your own food can bring your family more happiness.
