三、阅读理解 （本题共15小题; 每小题2分, 满分30分）
(A)
On December 14,2017,we were sorry to hear that Yu Guangzhong, a famous poet died of illness in Taiwan. He was born in Nanjing in 1928. His mother's hometown is in Wujin,Changzhou. So he called himself a southern person.
Later, he went to Taiwan. In 1952 he graduated from Taiwan University. Then he graduated from University of LOWA in 1959. He taught at Soochow University, Normal University, Taiwan University , and Chengchi University. He got a lot of prizes in literature(文学),such as.Wu San lien Literature Prize, China Times Award, Golden Tripod,National Arts Award and all the major(主要的)Awards in Taiwan. He is famous both in Taiwan and in Mainland.
He was in Taiwan, but he always missed his hometown in Mainland. In one of his poems Nostalgia(乡愁) ,he showed his feeling of homesickness. Let's enjoy his famous poem Nostalgia.
Nostalgia
When I was young, But later on,
Nostalgia was a tiny, tiny stamp. Nostalgia was a low,low grave.
Me on this side, Me on this side,
Mother on the other side. And my mother ;inside.
When I grew up, And at present,
Nostalgia was a narrow boat ticket. Nostalgia becomes a shallow strait.
Me on this side, Me on this side,
Bride on the other side. Mainland on the other side.
( )31. Yu wrote the poem Nostalgia because he wanted to .
A. find his boat ticket B. show his love to his bride
C. miss his mother in Wujin . D. miss his hometown in Mainland

Physical activity has many advantages. It makes bones and muscles(肌肉)stronger. improves mental health and mood, lowers blood pressure, and reduces the risk of cardiovascular(心血管的)disease, and all kinds of cancers. Exercise is also good for your brain. It may not be a cure-all for obesity(肥胖),however.
Though better nutrition(营养)together with exercise has long been the good treatment for losing weight and avoiding obesity, a new study suggests diet,in fact,plays the key role.
Researchers compare African-American women in Chicago with women in the countries of Nigeria. On average(平均), the Chicago women weighed 184 pounds and the Nigerian women weighed 127 pounds. Researchers had expected to find that the slimmer Nigerian women would be more physically active. To their surprise, they found no important difference between the two groups in the amount of calories burned during physical activity.
"Less physical activity may not be the main drive of obesity. " said Richard Cooper, a member of the study team. "People burn more calories when they exercise. The thing is, they make up by eating more. We would love to say that physical activity has a positive effect on weight control, but that does not appear to be the case. "
Diet is a more likely explanation than physical activity expenditure(消耗)for why Chicago women weigh more than Nigerian women, Cooper said. She noted the Nigerian diet is low in fat and animal protein(动物蛋白).Lout the Chicago diet is 40 percent to 45 percent in fat.
More research seems to be needed,however, as the new finding is different from other studies. A study found that Old Order Amish people who had a gene (基因) related to obesity stayed thin because they exercised a lot.
( )34. By saying the underlined words in Paragraph 4,Cooper meant that        .
A. exercise may not do good to your brain
B. less exercise may not lead to obesity at all
C. exercise doesn't play a key role in losing weight
D. people need to eat more to do enough physical activity
( )35. At the mention of Old Order Amish people,the writer wants to prove that        .
A. obesity is a serious medical problem
B. the result of the new study is reasonable
C. obesity is mainly related to one's genes
D. the result of the new study needs to be tested further
( )36. What can we know about Chicago women and Nigerian women from the passage?
A. They don't like doing physical activities.
B. They burn almost the same amount of calories during physical activity.
C. Chicago women are slimmer than Nigerian women.
D. Nigerian women like to do more exercise than Chicago women.
( )37. The writer's purpose of writing the passage is to expect us to ______.
A. control our diet to stay thin
B. take more exercise to lose weight
C. do more physical activity to avoid diseases
D. find a way that can treat obesity completely
(C)
The corona-virus pandemic (新冠病毒流行) made a great difference in people’s life in 2020. There is an unusual way to change the bad moods caused by it. It could be seen in letters to Father Christmas arriving at a post office in Southwest France. The post office answered mails sent to the traditional Father Christmas from around the world.
Jim, a little boy from Taiwan, put a face mask inside the letter he sent to Father Christmas and wrote "I❤U". Alina, 5, in her letter, asked Father Christmas to use the front door because the back door was only used by Grandma and Grandpa to reduce their risk of catching the new corona-virus. And 10-year-old Lola wrote that she was wishing “that my aunt never has cancer again and that there will be no virus any more”.
“My mother is a care-giver, so she has to take care of many patients or disabilities, and sometimes I am worried about her,” Lola explained. She ended with “take care of yourself, Father Christmas”. Thousands of letters arrived. They showed what children were thinking about this Christmas season after a year of illness and hard lives. Young Zoe asked only for a music player and a visit to a theme park, because “this year has been very different from others because of COVID-I9”.
The earliest letters were opened on November 12. Then, it quickly became clear that the pandemic was worrying children. Thirty percent of the letters discussed the pandemic. “The kids have been very influenced by COVID, more than we think. They are very worried. What they want most of all is really to be able to have a normal life, the end of COVID, a vaccine ( 疫 苗 ), not only the presents,” she said. “We are like masters of therapy,” she added.
Emma Barron works for the health of children and teenagers at a hospital in Paris. She said important days like birthdays or Christmas could give children a sense of safety. “They are an important part of the child’s happiness,” she said. “This year, they are especially important.”
( )38. To change the bad moods caused by the corona-virus pandemic, children .
A. wrote letters to Father Christmas B. met Father Christmas at a post office

( )39. Alina advised Father Christmas to use the front door because .
A. her aunt had a cancer B. the back door was broken then
C. it could be safer for grandparents D. her mother had to look after patients

A. a sense of safety B. healthy food

(D)
Every kid wishes to be an adult. Do you remember playing house as a child ---pretending（假装）to be a grown-up like your parents? Did you imagine you were a doctor, a soldier or a teacher? At that time, anything seemed more exciting than being young.
But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind. They become "kidults". Being a kidult has become a lifestyle choice among young people across Asia.
Some kidults collect toys they once played with. Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many adult fans around the world. It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Garfield-shaped cushion on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory（配件、附件）.
Other kidults still enjoy children's stories and fairy tales. For example, the British publisher Bloomsbury even released an edition（发布一个版本）of the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover. That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a children's book.
"Kidults can be like vitamins to society. Adults who love their childhood most and hold on to pure, child-like emotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society," said Lee So-jung, a professor at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies.
He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap between adults and kids. It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together.
Tim Greenhalgh, an adviser in London explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up. They hold on to childhood because working life in a busy and stressful city frightens them. Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood.
"So, they can escape from increasingly busy and stressful lives that are hard to deal with," Greenhalgh said.
( )42. Why does a kid wish to be an adult?
A. Because he wants to be independent（独立）.
B. Because he doesn't want to be controlled by adults.
C. Because he wants to experience the real world.
D. Because he believes there will be more exciting life ahead.
( )43. What can we infer（推断）from the passage?
A. Some kidults refuse to grow up.
B. Some kidults in Britain like reading on the subway.
C. Some kidults think childhood is the best time of their life.
D. Some kidults want to escape from the busy and stressful life
( )44. One of the advantages of the kidult culture is that      .
A. it can make adults face the real social life
B. it can make our society young and full of life
C. it can increase the sales of children's books
D. it can lead to harmonious（和谐的）relationship between adults and kids
( )45. Which of the following is the best title for the article?
A. Kids or Grown-ups B. Happy Childhood
C. Fearful Adulthood D. Kidult Culture

Traditionally, a welcoming ceremony(仪式) will include a group of Chinese primary school students. But this time, there were also 10 US schoolchildren.
At the Great Hall of the People, Trump and his wife Melania Trump enjoyed a special performance of the traditional Chinese musical instrument bianzhong, which is not common for a welcoming ceremony and talks.
Also, Xi and first lady Peng Liyuan enjoyed Beijing Opera with Trump and his wife at the Palace Museum. This is the first time that the museum has hosted the Chinese president and his wife together with a visiting presidential couple from another country.
The “state visit plus” treatment(待遇) for Trump showed the determination (决心) and actions of both China and the US to improve China-US relations.
Trump expressed thanks to Xi, saying “To me, now there can be no more important subject than China-US relations.”
Together with Trump, there were 29 US business leaders coming to look for business chances. During Trump’s three-day visit, they signed 34 deals (协议) worth trillion yuan with Chinese companies.
China-US relations are “at a new starting point”, and cooperation (合作) is “the only correct way” for the two countries, Xi said at a meeting between the two leaders.
