When my dad was first diagnosed with cancer and had radiation, I pushed my folks to start eating more fresh produce and preferably organics. My mom really improved her cooking from the roasted slice of pork and frozen-veggies dinners that I had fallen in love with. Dad said he had never eaten so well.

My dad had been an IBM guy, who often said, “People never change,” but he became skilled in overall treatments and began to take well-informed control of his own course of action. I wasn't thinking too much of his changes, but he had survived cancer for over 10 years, constantly learning, running his charity golf events, doing a bit of travel, and always looking pleasant and smiling.

My dad and I decorated a farmhouse in 2012, and I started taking care of the orchard, shaping rows for crops and a herb garden, and learning to care for four red hens. Bringing farm-fresh food to my folks was a way I could contribute to dad's health as well as his enjoyment of life, take a little work off my mom's hands, and sit and chat about something other than cancer.

The idea for this business came from what we learned about the role of food in health. My dad’s doctor told him that eating fresh produce could help resist cancer. Dad helped me set up the farm and worked till just a few days before he passed. But all of what I do here is based on experience, research, and strong values.

We learned more than I ever wanted to know. But the goals of this farm developed as we learned, and here we have it: Produce with a purpose -- fresh produce, grown for disease-fighting and preventive health value, delivered with easy but crazy -- delicious recipes as well as support, encouragement, overall thinking and even a bit of humor.

24. What was the author's favorite food in the past?

   A. Organic food. B. Barbecued meat.

   C.Fresh vegetables.  D. Fast-food meal.

25. What did the author think of his dad?

   A. He was positive about challenges. B. He was crazy about adventures.

   C. He was indifferent to his disease. D. He was a stubborn senior.

26. What inspired the author and his dad to start the farm?

   A. The pressure of his mother. B. The deadly cancer of his dad.

   C.The suggestions of a doctor. D. The great harvest on the farm.

27. What is the text mainly about?

   A. The value of fresh produce.  B. A dream of my family.

   C. The cancer of my father. D.A farm with a purpose.

Ten years after introducing “Google Glass”, Alphabet Inc. has created a new kind of smart eyeglasses. The company says the wearable computer device can translate different languages in real time.

A working model of the yet-unnamed device was presented to the public this week during the yearly Google I/O developer conference. Google did not say when the glasses might go on sale to the public.

The first Google Glass device included a wearable camera that could film what the wearers saw. That caused widespread privacy concerns. The camera element also gave Google Glass a kind of science-fiction look. The latest device looks more similar to traditional glasses.

A brief demonstration of the new eyeglasses described its translation ability, but did not provide additional details. The company also did not say whether the new device would be equipped with a camera. A demonstration explained that a person, wearing the glasses and talking with someone who speaks a different language, can see the spoken words in their own language. The description showed translations involving English, Mandarin, Spanish and American Sign Language.

The new device is one of several products shared at the conference that are currently in development. The company says the products aim to better connect Google services with activities happening in the real world. This includes company offerings for searching and viewing maps, as well as other services using the latest developments in artificial intelligence.

Eddie Chung, a director of product management at Google, spoke to developers about the new eyeglasses. “What we’re working on is technology that enables us to break down language barriers, taking years of research in Google Translate and bringing that to glasses,” he said.

28. What’s the passage mainly about?

   A.A new kind of smart eyeglasses is in development.

   B. A new kind of smart eyeglasses will go on sale.

   C. A great breakthrough has been made in AI.   

   D. Different languages can be translated in real time.

29. What led to widespread privacy concerns?

   A.The virtual maps. B. The latest glasses device.

   C. The science fiction look. D. The wearable camera.

30. What can we learn about the new device from paragraph 4?

   A. It won’t be equipped with a camera.

   B. It can help certain people remove language barriers.

   C. It can translate certain languages into oral English.

   D. It has more precise translation abilities.

31. What’s Eddie Chung’s attitude towards the new eyeglasses?

   A. Concerned. B. Positive. C. Indifferent. D. Critical.

D

In 2016, in an Illinois town called Cahokia, a woman was sent to prison just because she failed to tend her lawn (草坪). In 2019, a Florida man was fined $30,000 by the city of Dunedin for allowing his grass to grow more than 10 inches in height. These examples, while extreme, are not rare occurrence in America.

A study estimated that turf grasses (lawns, parks, athletic fields, etc) cover over 40 million acres in the continental U.S., an area larger than any crop area. And Americans spend as much as $60 billion a year maintaining these grasses. These impressive data are the result of Americans’ setting much store by these pieces of greenery for several centuries.

Centuries ago, only those with considerable wealth could own the resources needed to maintain these displays. In the modern world, lawns have gradually changed from the estates of the wealthy to the front yards of common people. Across America, millions of families now proudly present their grass to their neighbors and drivers by carefully weeding, watering, fertilizing and mowing these small-scale representations of the grounds.

With this context in mind, it’s easy to see well-tended lawns in America. People tend to use lawns to create an impression of order or to indicate a sense of personal success. The relative health and attractiveness of the grass in their yard becomes a barometer (晴雨表) for their life as whole.

However, with so many acres covered by the grass, the influence associated with lawn maintenance is more than just psychological. To begin, a lawn requires massive quantities of resources to sustain. The US Department of Agriculture estimates that lawns account for about half of homeowner’s water use, much of which is wasted. Additionally, Americans are reported to use 80 million pounds of chemicals on their lawns each year. The process of tending the lawn also contributes to air pollution.

These surprising data mean we need to question whether lawns provide us with enough benefit to justify their widespread existence.

32. Why are the two lawn-related cases mentioned in the first paragraph?

   A. To explain the effectiveness of American laws

   B. To show the significance of lawns in American society.

   C. To stress Americans’ awareness of environmental protection.

   D. To reveal the cost of maintaining lawns in Americans’ daily life.

33. What does the underlined part in the second paragraph mean?

   A. Making full use of. B. Facing the consequence of.

   C. Attaching great importance to. D. Shouldering the responsibility for.

34. Why do Americans have a preference for well-tended lawns?

   A. Because of the psychological function of lawns.

   B. Because of the popularity of lawns in Americans’ life

   C. Because of the purpose of placing barometers in lawns.

   D. Because of the method of planting healthy and attractive lawns.

35. What can we know about the lawns in the U.S. according to the passage?

   A. They will be expanded to cover more lands.

   B. They are of significant environmental concerns.

   C. They will motivate people to be health-conscious.

   D. They can promote the development of the chemical industry.

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。

Some healthy people have flat abs (腹肌) and thin bodies.     36     In fact, the official definition of health — at least, the one used by the World Health Organization (WHO) — says nothing about the way you look. WHO says health is “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”      37    

You eat when you’re hungry and stop when you’re full.      38     “It sounds really silly, but it’s amazing how many of us don’t do that,” Dr. Cindy Geyer, member of the True Health Initiative and medical director at Canyon Ranch in Lenox, Massachusetts, told INSIDER. “We forget to eat so we’re starving and then we eat a ton, or we’re eating mindlessly in front of the TV, or we’re eating in an emotional context because it’s how we’re self-soothing. A healthy relationship with food is trusting your internal ones, not external ones, to decide what and how much to eat,” she said. “I encourage clients to eat until they’re satisfied, but not stuffed.”

      39      A diverse diet ensures that you’re more likely to get all the vitamins and nutrients you need, she explained. This is even more true if the diet is rich in whole foods (天然食品), which tend to be more nutrient-dense than processed stuff.

You’re eating enough. Remember, calories aren’t your enemy or some evil force to be reduced at all costs.

      40      And if you’re not eating enough of them, you could end up feeling moody, weak, achy, and more.

A.A healthy relationship with food contributes greatly to good health.

B.This simple behavior is a typical feature of healthy eating.

C. But that doesn’t mean these qualities are necessary for good health.

D. They’re an energy source that helps you live your life and do what you love.

E. They give special attention to the way they live.

F. How can you tell if you fit that definition?

G. You’re eating a varied diet rich in whole foods.

Time for girls to shine

Most of us grew up reading fairy tales that start with “Once upon a time” and end with “the princess and prince lived happily ever after”. They seem to be harmless----even    41    , perhaps.

The original book was published in December 2019, and the second volume     47     on Feb 28, 2021.

The “characters”     49      pop singer Beyonce and tennis star Serena Williams.

However, the word “rebel” may make some people feel uncomfortable, since it’s not really seen as 

    50     . But being rebellious is    51      being independent, which many of today’s girls need to develop.

“It is important to    52    - especially if you are a woman or a girl - a rebel attitude, a rebel character, because you have to     53    harder to reach your dream and to get what you want.

And this    54    is made clear, with the book’s first page reading “To all the girls of the world, dream  

    55    , aim higher, fight harder”.

I could feel the excitement rising in me as I held the beautifully wrapped present in my hands. I felt the string of the package softly and then, unable to contain my curiosity any longer, I tore it open. It was a bright, brand new laptop. I had scored straight as for my O level examination and this was my reward. I had always envied my friends who were exchanging news about ‘chat rooms’, ‘instant messaging’ and ‘e-mailing’, all of which I knew nothing about. Now I was going to find out.

It started out simply enough. I was searching for some information online when I came across a social networking site. Soon I became attracted to my new-found electronic friend. I began to spend more and more time on YouTube and became addicted to Facebook and Twitter. I had never imagined that the day would come when I would be controlled entirely by the glowing screen before me. Whenever I was not glued to these social networking sites, I would be going through gossip or fashion websites.

As time passed, I realized that I was addicted to the Internet. During weekends, when I had more time on my hands, I could easily spend a few hours on my laptop. It came to a point where I chose to lock myself in my room, refusing to come out and take part in family discussions. I preferred to stay connected to the people I made friends with on the Internet although I had never met them. Soon I was spending the whole hours of the morning surfing on the Internet. Sleep was reduced to small naps and my grades at school also began getting from bad to worse.

注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
