We didn't expect to see her again so soon. After a tearless farewell with my daughter, we
left her new dorm room but then in the campus we saw her jogging against the August heat. I
quickly rolled down the car window and Sarina didn't miss a step as she turned, nodded at us
and waved goodbye. I was in disbelief why the tears hadn't come when we parted on her first
day in university.
Our first separation, the day she left my body, was a nightmare of pain and suffering.
While all births are amazing, not all women feel amazed about the births. However, our
togetherness in the days and months that followed was so sweet that I felt her small body still
seemed to be attached to mine. In the years to come, the sound of her feet running across the
wooden floors of our house was like the gentle pounding that reminded me my little girl was
here and that someday she would run to the paths I couldn't follow.
Last year Sarina turned 16 and decided to pursue art in college. She was in excitement
about college life with so much to expect but I was uneasy because it would be a long plane
ride away from home. I tried to imagine what separation would be like, but I couldn't.
Separation, although on the horizon, still felt distant.
That's why it wasn't until the next morning when I awoke in a house absent of her
footsteps that the tears finally came-and wouldn't stop. I understood that Sarina had left the
house, and I held onto the memory of her running. When the tears stopped, I was relieved that
her body knew what it needed on separation day, and that with our love and support, she had
the courage to run into an unfamiliar distance, to glance back, yet to keep moving forward.

C
A simple, yet powerful UK program has been fighting elderly loneliness by recruiting
young adults as volunteers to read to seniors with vision problems and mental diseases.
Lily has benefited from the program having her vision "restored" by 15-year-old Amy, a
school girl who was paired with Lily through the Reading Friends project. Lily was a librarian
and enthusiastic reader who would read "two to three books every week". After developing a
terrible disease, however, Lily found herself unable to read or watch television for any length
of time without her eyes hurting.
Not only have Lily's regular reading sessions with Amy helped to reconnect her with her
passion for literature, they have also built a strong intergenerational friendship between the
two ladies. "I chose a book and she would come along and read it to me," Lily said. "But we
have only got through two books so far because we end up chatting too much. We have read
two historical novels and get on very well."
Research shows that reading together can help older people to build social networks and
connect with others. Evidence also shows that reading has a positive impact on the elderly's
wellbeing and can reduce the risk of developing mental diseases.
Rose, a teacher, is responsible for connecting schoolchildren like Amy with the
program and she says that it has had an amazing impact on the youngsters. "We have
wonderful young people at our school and we wanted to get them into the community," Rose
said. "It has been fantastic to see them blossom as well as improving their literacy and social
skills. They are meeting community members like Lily that they are making friendships with,
and library staff can help them, not only with education but outside as well."
28.What is the main responsibility of volunteers according to the passage?
A. Read books to seniors.
B. Have a chat with seniors.
C. Fight diseases for seniors.
D. Make friends with seniors.
29. What can we learn from Lily's reading sessions with Amy?
A. They benefit Lily a lot by restoring her vision.
B. They help Amy pick up her love for literature.
C. They help Lily volunteer in the reading project.
D. They build up the friendship between two ladies.
30. How does the program mostly benefit the elders?
A. By reducing elderly loneliness.
B. By curing the elders of vision problems.
C. By improving their literacy and social skills.
D. By enabling them to read books for a long time.
31. Where is this text most likely from?
A. A diary. B. A guidebook. C. A magazine. D. A novel.
D
Next time you throw away rotten lettuce or smelly berries you should think about this.
Globally, we waste more than a third of the food we produce. That is according to the Food
and Agriculture Organization.
A group of Swedish graduate students is working to fight that fact. They are in the Food
Innovation and Product Design program and have come up with a way to use produce that is
about to go to waste. They turn the food into non-perishable (不易腐烂的) powder. It may
help people who have limited access to food.
They are calling it FoPo Food Powder. It is exactly what it sounds like. It is dried,
powdered, shelf-stable fruits and vegetables. The powder can be dropped into relief efforts
after natural disasters. Or it can be given out in low-resource areas where fresh food and
refrigeration are hard to come by.
Ngo, one of the students who developed it, says they are not making something
ground breaking . Powdered food has been around since the early days of astronauts. But they
are rethinking the waste and delivery channels. Their development team reached out to
farmers and retailers to source fruit.
"Today a relief bag for humanitarian disasters contains various foods such as strawberry
jam, peanut butter and peas in tomato sauce. We think that an easily transported pack of cheap
dried food powder with high nutritional value would fit in perfectly," Ngo says. The team has
been trying to keep its prices down, too. That would aid low-budget humanitarian groups and
non-governmental groups.
Freeze-dried food keeps most of the nutritional benefits of raw food. It loses some
vitamins and minerals in the drying process. But it is still a good way to get fiber and
nutrients.
The group are about to start working with the U.N.'s Initiative on Food Loss and Waste.
They want to try and reach more people and countries that could benefit.
32. Why did the group of Swedish graduates develop the FoPo Food Powder?
A. To reduce food waste.
B. To cut the cost of food.
C. To replace the traditional food.
D. To improve the flavor of the food.
33. What does the underlined word " ground breaking" in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Additional. B. Reasonable. C. Creative. D. Worthwhile.
34. What can we learn about powdered food?
A. It is very popular in some poor areas.
B. It is an effective way to lower food prices.
C. It keeps the nutritional benefits of raw food.
D. It provides aids for people in low-resource areas.
35. What will the group do according to the last paragraph?
A. They are about to cooperate with the U.N_
B. They are about to write an Initiative for the U.N_
C. They will visit and help more people worldwide.
D. They will make great profits from their product.
第二节(共 5小题;每小题 2分，满分 10分)
While we can't control the COVID-19 0utbreak, we can control how we react to it while
keeping ourselves safe as well. 36 .
● Assess our personal risk for getting infected
We can take steps to figure out our own personal risk for developing corona virus:
whether there are confirmed cases in our community; whether we've been exposed to them,
and whether we have immune or breathing problems. 37 .
● Try to limit our news consumption
38 . However, there is such a thing as too much news, and constantly reading
news updates isn't going to help our anxiety levels. The more we expose ourselves to a scary
topic over which we feel limited control, the more we will feel anxious.
● 39
Coronavirus seems scary and it's OK to recognize that our anxiety is normal, while
ignoring our stress will only make the anxiety worse. If someone asks us to stop feeling
anxious, we can respond with, "Well, what are you doing to be prepared?" If they still insist
on minimizing our fears, try to brush them off. Listen to our own voice and gain inner peace
from it.
● Follow the correct preventive methods to protect against the virus
Try to avoid touching our eyes, nose, and mouth. 40 . Wash our hands often
with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Doing all of those things can help us feel more in
control of the situation, which can help ease our anxiety.
If, despite trying these tips, you still feel anxious or that your fears are disturbing your
daily life, it's not a bad idea to talk to a mental health professional.
A. Those steps give us a sense of control over our health
B. Realize that it's natural to be worried about the outbreak
C. Of course, the anxiety about the outbreak is understandable
D. Do medical cleaning frequently on touched objects and surfaces
E. Here is what we can do to manage our anxiety during the outbreak
F. This is because it's new, making it appear more unknown and uncertain
G. It's true that we should know more information about the deadly disease
