My mother and sister had gone through Grandma's belongings after her memorial service and decided on the sewing machine for me. I wasn't sure if I was the right person for it, though. I hadn't sewn since taking a class in high school. This would take some experimenting.
I opened the built-in drawer to find Grandma's old pieces of thread. I held her tomato-shaped pincushion （针垫）and thought of all the memories wrapped up in this machine. Grandma had become a tailoress （女裁缝）out of necessity. With four small children to clothe, she'd quickly learned how to sew almost everything they needed. For over 30 years, Grandma kept up with her sewing. She made matching Easter dresses for my sister and me and costumes for our school festivals. She was always in search of a new project, whether it was teaching our neighbors or sewing dresses for the homeless. But for the last several years of her life, dementia （痴呆）had left a shy and silent woman in place of the strong. opinionated, loving grandmother I'd known.
To honor Grandma's memory, I wanted a project to help people the way she had. With the stay-at-home order in place because of Covid-19, I certainly had the time. So I dug out Grandma's machine to sew masks, and read up on how to sew. I turned on my computer to research how to get the machine going again. After hours of digging through old black-and-white handbooks and sewing lessons online, I operated the machine one more time. I held my breath and pressed down on the pedal. Hurrah! It worked! In no time, my fingers were flying. steadily moving material under the very cooperative needle. When I sewed enough masks for my family, I kept going. I delivered nearly 500 masks to a hard-hit hospital in the area. Quite a big job for an old sewing machine.
A staff member met me outside to receive the donation. “Thank you,” she said, not knowing that any thanks for my efforts belonged to Grandma, who provided the inspiration.
41. Why did the author doubt herself about accepting the sewing machine?

C. It benefited from her mother and sister. D. It just took her a few hours to operate it skillfully.

As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you arein the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.
Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.
The amount of stress a person can withstand（承受）depends very much on the individual.
Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously. prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first sight of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between “fight” and “fight” and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life and death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continue exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives （it would be unwise to do so even if we could）, we need to find ways to deal with it.
46. People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because _______.

A. We can find some ways to avoid stress.
B. Stress is always harmful to people.
C. It is easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work.
D. Different people can withstand different amounts of stress.
49. In paragraph 3, “such a reaction” refers back to _______.
A. making a choice between flight and fight B. reaction to stress both chemically and physically
C. responding to crises quickly D. losing heart at the sight of difficulties
50. In the last sentence of the passage, “do so” refers to _______.
A. expose ourselves to stress B. try out easy ways to relax
C. remove stress from our lives D. established links between diseases and stress
D
Japan is getting tough with recycling— and not in the paper and plastic kind of way. Recently, the country requires that all electronic goods—TVs, VCRs, stereos, and more be recycled. But recycling will not be left to consumers, instead, the devices will be sent to the original manufacturer for proper disposal.
The new law poses a few challenges to manufacturers who are now rushing to set up collection networks and perfecting techniques to take apart and recycle older products. With an eye toward the future, they are also integrating easily recycled materials into new products. Plastics, a major component of most electronic products, pose a particular obstacle because their quality becomes worse and worse with age, losing strength and flexibility even if reprocessed.
NEC Corp. overcomes this problem by creating a plastics sandwich, in which the filling is 100 percent recycled plastic and the outer layers a mixture of 14 percent recycled material. The resulting plastic has sufficient strength and toughness for use as a case for desktop PCs. The company. in cooperation with plastic maker Sumitomo Dow, has also developed a new plastic, which engineers claim keeps its mechanical properties through repeated recycling. NEC uses the plastic, which is also flame-retardant（阻燃的）in battery cases for notebook PCs.
Meanwhile, Matsushita Electric, maker of the Panasonic brand, is avoiding plastic in favor of magnesium（镁）. Magnesium, says the company, is ideal for recycling because it retains its original strength through repeated reprocessing. Matsushita has developed molding techniques to form magnesium into the case for a 21-inch TV.
Unfortunately, the magnesium case and energy-saving features make the TV about twice as expensive as an ordinary model. The company hopes, however, that increased use of magnesium will eventually bring prices down.
51. According to the present regulations of Japan, the recycling of paper and plastic will be the responsibility of _______.
A. the government B. the manufacturers C. the consumers D. the sellers
52. Which of the following is NOT the character of plastics?
A. Most electronic products contain plastics.
B. It keeps its original strength through reprocessing.
C. Recycled plastics can be integrated into new products.
D. Plastics will lose flexibility after a certain period of time.
53. According to the passage, the term “plastic sandwich” refers to _______.
A. a kind of sandwich-shaped toy made of plastics
B. a kind of plastics with different integration in each layer
C. a kind of plastics with maximum strength and flexibility
D. a kind of plastics made of 100% recycled materials
54. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A. selling plastics is the only business of NEC Corp
B. magnesium is an ideal material for making notebook PCs
C. 21-inch TV with magnesium case isn't very popular so far
D. magnesium must be better than the plastics
55. The author writes this passage in order to_______.
A. inform B. direct C. predict D. persuade

第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
When I was a boy growing up, I could not once ever remember either my mom or my grandmother wasting food. Anything we didn't eat at one meal was saved, stored, and served as leftovers（剩饭剩菜）later on. . I can remember my grandmother making a huge pot of brown beans with a large cake of cornbread. We would all eat until we were stuffed but there was always about half of the beans left over. A few days later my grandmother would take those beans ou of the refrigerator, boil pasta, add parsley and mix them all together into her delicious Pasta Fasule. And I also remember when I watched my mom fry bacon for us in the mornings, she would always take the grease （油脂）and carefully pour it into a container. Then she later would use it to flavor up so many other dishes. I was an adult before I realized that green beans didn't actually taste like bacon.
I learned their lessons well and after I grew up I tried never to waste food by myself. I always planned the week's meals ahead of time and only bought what was on my shopping list so nothing went to waste. Every meal went into my stomach and any leftovers were later eaten by either myself, my boys, or my dogs. To me throwing food in the trash was just wrong. All the work it took to grow it, harvest it, and prepare it needed to be honored, not wasted.
I learned something else over the years, however: when it comes to living there are no leftovers. Each moment that you don't live is lost forever. Life cannot be saved. Life cannot be stored. Life has to be lived, TODAY!
Live each moment of your life to the fullest then. Make every day a feast of love with no leftovers. Leo Buscaglia once said: “Each day is a fresh beginning, a little life unto itself.” Don't let any of these little lives go to waste. Live your life with a full belly and a full heart.
56. What does the underlined word in Paragraph I probably mean? （I word）
57. How could the beans the author ate as a child taste like bacon? （no more than 10 words）
58. What did the author do to avoid wasting food? （no more than 15 words）
59. What do the last two paragraphs mainly talk about? （no more than 20 words）
60. How do you live your life to the fullest? Please explain. （no more than 20 words）
