三、阅读理解。(每题3分，共18分)

A

A beach cleanup is a volunteer activity to protect the environment. It brings people together to collect trash (垃圾) to make the beach a more pleasant and safer place. Many organizations work with local governments to do with the trash that is collected. My husband, Josh, and I go to as many beach cleanups as we can. We even wrote about how much we have enjoyed beach cleanups on our blog. Because it is one of our favorite things to do and has brought us lots of pleasure.

You might not think that picking up trash sounds like fun. But cleaning up a beach is very meaningful. It is a good way to help the environment, get exercise and meet new people.  Some beaches are covered with so much trash that cleaning them up might seem impossible. But you can do a lot in just a few hours with a group  of volunteers. By the time you  finish, you will be  encouraged by the results. You might have  even made a few new friends!

My first time to join a beach cleanup was in Costa Rica. Our group walked 30 minutes along a path to a  small beach  called  "Playa  Basura". It means "trash beach" in Spanish. A lot of trash washes up on the beach there. The beach often looks like it is covered with colorful rocks. But the rocks are just small pieces of plastic. Most of the trash comes from other areas. It washes down rivers and into the  sea. Then the currents 水流) carry the rubbish to Playa Basura.

Our group worked hard for about two hours and filled over 100 trash bags. The difference was amazing. But every year the rainy season brings more trash. So, it is lucky that there is a cleanup every year. Trash on beaches like Playa Basura won't end until people stop trash from getting into the sea.  But every beach clean up helps.

21. What does the underlined "it" mean in paragraph1?

A. Starting to write a blog.                     B. Making a few new friends.

C. Doing many beach cleanups.                 D. Working with local governments.

22. Why does the writer mention her own experiences?

1. To give an example.      B. To introduce a topic.

C. To offer  some  advice.         D. To express an opinion.

23. What can we learmn from the writer's beach cleanup action?

A. No pain,no gain.                        B. A good beginning is half done.

C. Small steps, big difference.                 D. Actions speak louder than words.

B

Separate dining is common in the western culture, while in China's dining culture, whether dining at home or eating out, a grouped dining system is used in most situations.

However, the coronavirus pandemic has challenged the deep-rooted Chinese dining tradition of sharing dishes together, which inspires the government, restaurants and citizens to rethink about eating customs.

Standards on individual (供一人用的)dining, serving chopsticks (公筷)and two pairs of chopsticks came out on March 18. Here are the main points.

  Individual diners' food should he served to customers in separate tableware.

  Each shared dish should be served with a separate pair of serving chopsticks.

  Each diner should have two pairs of differently colored chopsticks. One is to get food from shared dishes to place into individual bowls, and the other is for eating from individual bowls.

The above new standards are to protect the public health in a scientific and practical way. Over 200 companies have followed the guidelines. In order to encourage customers to follow the standards, some restaurants offer parking coupons (优惠券)to those who use serving chopsticks.

According to a survey about separate dining by think tank Thinker, nearly 89% of 100,000 interviewees believe it's more hygienic (卫生的)because it reduces the risk of infection via saliva (唾液传染）.

As Chinese think the grouped dining system is a tradition, it is not easy to change their dining behavior. When they share the food, they are building up a close relationship among diners. Besides, it is difficult to divide Chinese dishes into separate parts.

Eating separately is a break from tradition, but it is helpful to prevent diseases and improve health. People can still sit at the same table, sharing the same food and the same culture in a new way. It also encourages advanced cooking skills, which means a chance of creating something new in Chinese food.

42. What is the purpose of the new standards?

___________________________________________________________________________

43. How do some restaurants encourage customers to use serving chopsticks?

___________________________________________________________________________

44.Why is it not easy to change Chinese dining behavior?

___________________________________________________________________________

45. According to the passage, what do you think of eating separately?

___________________________________________________________________________
