As we slide even closer to Father's Day during these pandemic （流行病）times, I can, t help but feel super privileged to tell you about one extraordinary dad. He's a dad so good that after he was done raising his own kids, he took to YouTube to do some more dadding to millions of complete and total strangers in need.
Rob Kenney's childhood had a theme that, sadly, is not at all uncommon for American kids: fatherlessness. His father left his family when he was just twelve years old, and statistics say that lines up with the experience of about 25% of kids today. Many lessons a dad would teach a kid, he just had to learn on his own. However, Kenney swore that his own kids would not have that experience, and after successfully raising two kids into two adults, he's branching out to help fatherless kids just like him in the coolest way possible.
Kenney has started a YouTube channel called “Dad, How Do I?" to show fatherless kids a variety of “how to' s" over the everyday tasks of living. From “how to tie a tie" to "h ow to shave your face" to "how to check your car's oil" , Kenney, s videos are readily understood, though almost entirely unedited.
In the past week, thanks to some viral posts on Twitter and Facebook by influencers, Kenney's channel has gone from a handful of subscribers to 1.97 million! It just goes to show you how much his " Practical 'Dadvice' for everyday tasks" is needed and appreciated by fatherless kids everywhere --- not to mention adults who just plain don ' t know how to do stuff. The viewers ' comments on Kenney's YouTube channel can move even the hard-hearted to tears.

Rubbish of all kinds is piling up in landfill and polluting our rivers and oceans. A more recent addition to the list of things we discard is e-waste ---electronic items that are broken and not recycled. A UN report claims the 50 million tonnes of e-waste produced every year will more than double to 110 million tonnes by 2050, making it the fastest growing waste stream in the world. Now ways are being found to give it a new life.
There's a growing trend for repair events and clubs which could be part of a solution to the growing amount of electrical and electronic garbage. The BBC visited a Restart Project in London, which is one of the many found around the world. One of its volunteers, Francesco Calo sai d, “This project allows you to reduce waste, lengthen the life of objects, and it helps people who cannot afford to get rid of items that have developed a fault."
Electronics consist of materials like plastic, metals, chemicals and glass. As many electrical items contain valuable metals, another idea is e-waste mining. An experiment at the University of New South Wales includes extracting （提取）these materials from electronic items. It's thought that doing this could be more profitable than traditional mining. With phones typically containing as many as 60 components, this could be part of the solution to our appetite for new technology.
These projects make total sense 一 collections of e-waste for recycling are not progressing or even decreasing according to Ruediger Kuehr of the United Nations University. And in countries where there are no recycling laws, much of it is got rid of. However, the European Union, for example, is trying to settle the problem by insisting business firms have to make appliances longer-lasting and have to supply spare parts for machines for up to 10 years.
8. What does the underlined word “discard" in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. throw away
B. take apart
C. make the best of
D. put together
9. What does the Restart Project in London help people do?
A. Collect electronic garbage.
B. Use their electronics longer.
C. Buy good-quality electronics.
D. Get jobs in recycling companies.
10. Which part of electrical items can be mined and used again?
A. Hard plastic.
B. Precious metals.
C. Toughened glass.
D. Various chemicals.
11. What is suggested in the last paragraph about the problem of e-waste?
A. Improving recycling process.
B. Replacing spare parts timely.
C. Making e-waste recycling laws.
D. Using electronics permanently.
D
The suicide （自杀）rate in Japan fell by 20 percent in April compared with the same time last year, the biggest drop in five years. People spending more time at home with their families, fewer people going to work and delays to the start of the school year are seen as factors in the fall.
In April, 1 ,455 people took their lives in Japan, 359 fewer than in April 2019. The large drop came at a time when there were fears of a sudden increase. The COVID-19 cases reached the largest number in mid-April in Japan at more than 500 a day, leading the government to declare a state of emergency on April 16, though the restrictions were less strict than those of other countries. The stay- at-home measures affected suicide prevention organizations, with about 40 percent of them either shut down or working reduced hours, leading to worries about easily hurt people.
During the decline in suicide of recent years, there had been an increase among children, with bullying （欺凌）and other problems like pre ssure at school a frequently mentioned cause. The start of the academic year, in April in Japan, was a particularly stressful time for some, but its postponement due to the pandemic saved lives, at least temporarily.
As for adults, at times of national disasters, “ traditionally, people don' t think a bout suicide", said Yukio Saito, a former head of telephone counseling service the Japanese Federation of Inochi-no-Denwa, pointing to a drop in cases in 2011 , the year of the giant earthquake. A large drop in the number of people going to offices, where they often work long hours, is being seen as another contributing factor in the lower suicide rate.
However, economic and work pressures are factors. The year after the 1997 Asian financial crisis saw a record rise of nearly 35 percent. A long-term economic downturn caused by the pandemic could lead to a rebound in cases, said Saito.
12. What do we know about the government's restriction measures?
A. They were too strict with citizens.
B. They raised fears about a rise in suicide.
C. They led to the failure of local businesses.
D. They helped suicide prevention organizers relieve stress.
13. How was children's suicide rate this April in Japan?
A. It was going up.
B. It was decreasing.
C. It was briefly stable.
D. It was larger than that of adults.
14. What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us about adults?
A. The effect of earthquake onthem.
B. The traditional way of their suicide.
C. Reasons for their lower suiciderate.
D. Their ability to work under pressure.
15. What's the best title for the text?
A. Will Weak Economy Affect Japan's Suicide Forever?
B. Japan's Fighting Against Both Suicide and COVID-19
C. Japan's Suicide Declines During COVID-19 Lockdown
D. Does Enjoying Increased Time with Family Reduce Suicide? 第二节（共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
If there's something everyone can agree on, it's that there is one bad habit so many people have adopted in the last few months. 16 Living through a pandemic has led many to spend more time at home, but all those hours going from your bed to your sofa, and back to your bed again could be raising your cancer risk.
17 According to a recent study published in JAMA Oncology, researchers found that those who live an extremely sedentary （久坐的）life can be as much as 82 percent more likely to die of cancer than those who don't sit as much.
The study closely examined a group of 8,002 participants, made up of multiracial, middle-aged men and women. They ranged in health conditions, as some were overweight, smokers, had high blood pressure and diabetes, and others were slim and exercised regularly. Of these participants, 268 died of cancer. 18 So for those who spent more hours sitting down, the possibility that they would eventually die of cancer increased. 19 The researchers also uncovered that those who did some sort of exercise every 30 minutes instead of just continuing to sit lowered their risk of dying from cancer by 31 percent.
The big takeaway of this study? 20 If you are at work all day, you could make it a rule to stand up or walk around for a minute or three once every half an hour. If you watch TV at night, walk around or at least stand up during the show break.
A. You don't have to do a violent workout.
B. Be sure to find the time to get up and move!
C. That's just how much time you spend sitting down.
D. They were also the ones who spent the most time sitting.
E. How does sitting increase your risk of dying from cancer?
F. But don't get too scared just yet, as there is a silver lining here.
G. So what can you do to reduce the time you spend on an activity? 第二部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分）

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
After his wife died, Dan Peterson didn't know what to do with himself. The 81 -year-old man spent a lot of time in his garden remembering his wife's favorite flower, the white rose. "I've never been able to get a
white rose to grow --- all mine are red," Peterson said.
Before she died, Dan and his wife would do everything together. Now, the world just felt dark. “I'm sitting here staring at the back window of my house, just waiting it out to see how long I was going to live," he said.
One day on a grocery run, Dan felt particularly blue. He hadn't shaved for a couple of days and hadn't had a haircut probably for three months.
Tara Wood was at the grocery store that day with her four-year-old (laughter. Tara thought Dan didn't look like the friendliest man ——but that didn't stop Norah, her (laughter. Norah was bouncing up and down. Suddenly she stopped, pointing at Dan, and said, “Hi, old person! Today's my birthday."
Dan’s face lit up. He responded to Norah with, “Well hi, little lady! How old are you today?" Little Norah demanded that he give her a hug and take a picture with her. So the 81 -year-old and 4-year-old had a photo taken and exchanged hugs. Norah likes old people very much because they walk slowly like her, and they also need friends.
“It was only a 10-minute encounter at the grocery store, but it felt magical and heart-warming," the mom said. "Norah seemed to know Dan needed some extra cheer."
Tara posted the photo on Facebook and a woman recognized the old man. She wrote in the comments that she knew Dan, and that it was the first time she'd seen him smile since his wife died. Tara later found Peterson on Facebook and asked if they could go over to his house for a play date. Of course, the answer was yes. And the mother was planning a visit.
