In almst every culture in the wrld, mthers are thught t be mre imprtant than fathers during children's develpment and mre likely t build strng bnds with their children.
This belief 24 （exist） fr a lng time until scientists started asking a new questin: What impacts d fathers 25 their children lives besides their genes? If they mean nthing, they wuld have disappeared frm children's lives at an earlier time in evlutin.
In the past few years, American jurnalist Paul Raeburn 26 （cllect） varius discveries. He nw put them int his new bk. D Fathers Matter? What Science Is Telling Us Abut the Parent We've Overlked, hping t make peple better see the numerus ways 27 fathers influence their children.

Sectin B
Directins: Fill in each blank with a prper wrd chsen frm the bx. Each wrd can be used nly nce. Nte that there is ne wrd mre than yu need.
The Mid- Autumn Festival is the secnd mst imprtant annual celebratin fr the Chinese, after Lunar New Year. I myself, hwever, nly began t really appreciate it in recent years. And with COVID-19, what 44 even mre is its emphasis n family reunin.
I grew up in Australia, where the Lunar calendar was 45 used. It was smetimes easy t frget the vague time between mid- September and early Octber when Mid- Autumn wuld fall. Fr me, it was really the strefrnts f Asian grceries that annunced the appraching f the time fr mn cakes. Their high piles f brightly clred metallic bxes were hard t miss.
It was like seeing the first Christmas tree pp up in shpping centers seemingly earlier and earlier each year: is it that time already?
I grew up with the 46 sweet mn cakes filled with a salty egg ylk. Its range circle cmmanded yu t think f the Mn. W wuld 47 the table after dinner, and cut each palm- sized cake int eight pieces, Enah f us wuld have but a piece r tw with ht tea. The cake's sweetness and the festival's 48 n family reunin make it definitely ne t share.
In the last few years, I have especially lved this time f year because f all f the varieties f mn cakes that 49 n scial media and in the shps. They're nw t my Cantnese eyes and taste buds and I lve learning mre abut the many tastes f China.
As well as lving mn sakes, there's als lving the natural Mn itself. I nly learned recently that the Mid- Autumn Festival actually ges n fr three days and rights. One 50 the Mn at its brightest and fullest at the exact night f the festival. The night befre is fr welcme the Mn, and the night aner is fr chasing the Mn.
The festival, as a time fr family 51 , f curse makes yu think f the family wh—fr whatever reasn -- can't be there with yu fr that family meal. Yet 52 , wherever yu are in the wrld, yu can lk up at night and see the same mn at its fullest, hwever fleeting this is.
And that's what I lve s much abut this time f year. It's a 53 that amid all the uncertainty f ur everyday lives, we make time fr gazing at the Mn, whse light brightens each f ur night skies.

Fr three weeks this summer, I saved every piece f takeut packaging. The stream f paper, plastic, and glass that came thrugh my dr frm rughly 30 rders shcked and depressed me. I 55 enugh waste t fill tw recycling cntainers—nt t mentin a trrent f guilt.
My friends, my prblem is ur prblem. Natinal Gegraphic last year highlighted the prblem in 56 terms: The United States uses mre than 36 billin dispsable utensils（一次性餐具）a year. Laid end t end, they culd wrap arund the glbe 139 times.
Blame the glbal health crisis fr ur Gdzilla- sized appetite fr takeut. Few f us tend t ck three meals a day fr urselves. Takeut and delivery have cme t ur rescue 57 . Market research cmpany. NPD Grup reprts a 127 percent increase in digital rders cmpared with the same time last year.
The prblem is literally kncking at ur dr. We have t answer it.
“Dispsable may be cnvenient and inexpensive but it is highly 58 , ” says Matt Prindiville, CEO f Upstream. The nnprfit rganizatin is dedicated t clsing the chapter n ur single- use culture. “ 59 , they cst whales and sea lins heavily, ” he says, referring t plastic and ther materials that have hurt cean life.
Cnsider this a call t 60 plastic utensils and use yur wn cutlery（餐具） instead when yu get takeut.
Last mnth, Rse's at Hme in Washingtn 61 frm using cardbard bxes t nyln bags. A nte with the fd delivery asks 62 t reuse r recycle that and ther packaging. One f the smartest ideas I've encuntered during seven mnths f takeut is the metal pan used t cnvey paella（海鲜饭） frm Jale. I'm keeping the implement, but I'd get $10 ff my next meal at the Spanish restaurant if I were t return it.
My cnscience tells me t reward restaurants that have the greater gd in mind when it cmes t 63 .

Fr years, caffeine has been the “drug” f chice in many cultures. Caffeine has been cnsidered scially acceptable because it is fund in drinks like tea r cffee. Peple wh cnsume a lt f caffeine- based drinks may think they are addicted because they depend heavily n the substance. But if they stp using such drinks, they will experience slightly uncmfrtable symptms fr a few days. The real addictin may be emtinal. Many peple claim they cannt start their day unless they get their “fix”, which is, in many cases, a cup r tw cups f cffee. Even yung peple wh may nt tuch tea r cffee are still putting caffeine int their bdies when they have energy drinks, which have high amunts f caffeine.

America's Natinal Institutes f Health （NIH） says drinking tw t fur cups f cffee a day is nt harmful t mst peple. But it warns that t much caffeine can make peple irritable and wrried. It may als cause headaches, abnrmal heartbeats and ther prblems. The NIH says wmen wh are pregnant r breast- feeding shuld limit their cnsumptin f caffeine. And it says caffeine may affect hw the bdy reacts t sme drugs and vitamins. It suggests talking with a dctr if yu have questins.

It shwed that tea—especially black tea—might be the best chice. It fund black tea is better fr yur health than cffee. Hwever, cffee is ne f the wrld's mst ppular drinks—perhaps the mst ppular. Results f a large American study may help t make it even mre ppular. The study shwed that drinking cffee might help reduce the risk f ral r pharyngeal cancer, a deadly frm f cancer.

LONDON is a city made fr walking. Unlike, fr instance, Ls Angeles, its centre is easily accessible n ft. Outer brughs（行政区） are n mre than an hur r tw away. Its curved streets, in cntrast t the rigid grid（刚性网格） f New Yrk, welcme lazy wanderers and busy cmmuters alike. But despite traffic queues and crwded undergrund carriages, mst preferred t drive r t squeeze n t the Tube t get arund the city. This is starting t change.
Between 2001 and 2011, the number f trips made daily n ft in Lndn increased by 12%. Nearly a third f the Lndners sampled made a cntinuus walk f 30 minutes nce a week t get frm place t place, rather than fr exercise. One f the largest changes in the city ver the past decade is the number f pedestrians, says Michele Dix f Transprt fr Lndn （TfL）, which runs the city's transprt netwrks. It launched the Rads Task Frce, with plans t imprve pavements.
Several reasns accunt fr the walking bm. The number f Lndners increased by12% frm 7. 3 millin in 2001 t 8. 2 millin in 2011, and Tube trains are getting ld- fashined and vercrwded. But ther factrs als encurage pedestrians. In 2004 Ken Livingstne, then mayr f Lndn, swre t make Lndn a “walkable city”. Sme f his plans were carried n by Bris Jhnsn, the mayr. These include a scheme t create clearly- marked maps fr use acrss the city. Of 33 brughs in Lndn, 22 nw have the typical yellw- branded signs n their streets. All TfL- wned prperty （such as Tube statins and bicycle- hi re pints） is cvered by the scheme. This prevents turists frm ppping n the Tube t travel ne stp frm Cvent Garden t Leicester Square, a distance f 0. 3 mile.
Streets are als becming mre pedestrian- friendly. Exhibitin Rad in Suth Kensingtn was redevelped in 2011. Pavements were replaced by better- quality bricks. Fewer cars nw g dwn the rad, which stretches frm Hyde Park t the museums and restaurants arund the statin, encuraging mving crwds f pedestrians.
Lndners may als be mre aware f the advantages f walking. Health campaigns like the NHS's ‘LiveWell’ emphasize that walking is the easiest frm f exercise. Rubber wrist band pedmeters（计步器）, such as ‘FitBit’ and ‘FuelBand’, are als increasingly ppular.
67. Frm the first paragraph, it can be learned that _________.
A. It's within walking distance fr Lndners t g between different brughs
B. Yu can see many peple rushing r walking rund yu alng the Lndn streets
C. Lndners enjy taking the crwded subway t travel thrugh the city
D. It is nt allwed gradually t drive r take the tube in the city center f Lndn
68. Which f the fllwing statements abut TfL （Transprt fr Lndn） is NOT true?
A. It launched the Rads Task Frce. B. It runs the city's transprt netwrks.
C. It wns prperties such as Tube statins. D. It aims t create clearly- marked maps fr use.
69. This passage mainly talks abut _________.
A. Lndners' healthy lifestyleB. the encuragement fr peple t walk
C. a city which is suitable fr walkingD. Lndn's walking bm and its reasns
Sectin C
Directins: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a prper sentence given in the bx. Each sentence can be used nly nce. Nte that there are tw mre sentences than yu need.
The mst universal facial expressin is the smile—its functin is t shw happiness and put peple at ease. A smile says, “I like yu. Yu make me happy. ”
That's why dgs make such a hit. They are s glad t see us that they almst jump ut f their skins. 70
A baby's smile has the same effect. Have yu ever been in a dctr's waiting rm and lked arund at all the sad faces waiting impatiently t be seen? There were six r seven patients waiting when a yung wman came in with a nine- mnth- ld baby. She sat dwn next t a gentleman wh was mre than a little impatient abut the lng wait fr service. The baby just lked up at him with that great big smile that is s characteristic f babies. 71 Sn he struck up a cnversatin with the wman abut her baby and his grand- children and then the entire receptin rm jined in, and the bredm and tensin were changed int a pleasant and enjyable experience.
72 Telephne cmpanies thrughut the US have a prgram called “phne pwer” which is ffered t emplyees wh use the telephne fr selling their services r prducts. In this prgram they suggest that yu smile when talking n the phne. Yur “smile” cmes thrugh in yur vice.
Yu dn't feel like smiling? Well, frce yurself t smile. If yu are alne, frce yurself t whistle r hum a tune r sing. Act as if yu were already happy, and that will tend t make yu happy.
Yur smile is a messenger f yur gdwill. 73 T smene wh has seen a dzen peple frwn r turn their faces away, yur smile is like the sun breaking thrugh the cluds. Especially when smene is under pressure frm his bsses, his custmers, his teachers r parents f children, a smile can help him realize that all is nt hpeless—that there is jy in the wrld.
V. Summary Writing（本题共7分）
Directins: Read the fllwing passage. Summarize the main idea and the main pint（s） f the passage in n mre than 60 wrds. Use yur wn wrds as far as pssible.
Tired f walling in end l ss lines t pay fr what yu have bught? Angry at wasting time in tm Ma Jam s nly t find n parking spaces when yu eventually arrive at the stre? If this is yu, then nline shpping is the answer t yur dreams f truble- free shpping.
Hwever, nline shpping brings its wn challenges. IT re are a few things t remember when brwsing varius websites.
The claim made by nline sites is that shpping nline is a safe way t make purchases. The evidence challenges this. In any case, yu nly have t be the victim f fraud （诈骗） nce t experience all the prblems that cme with this frm f stealing.
Anther prblem is the appearance f Items in reality is ften quite different frm what yu see n yur cmputer screen. Thia might nt be a prblem if yu are buying washing up pwder but culd be a majr disappintment when that beautiful blue dress yu rdered turns up in green.
Sme even argue that nline shpping indirectly causes glbal warning. Yes, yur car can stay parked but hw are nline gds delivered? Often by sme large vans puring ut carbn mnxide and adding t ur already desperate traffic prblems.
