Liz PayneBThe freezing Northeast hasn’t been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed before you could say “sunshine”. I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C(维生素C), thinking of beaches and orange trees. When we touched down to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer ofgratefulness. Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend, but the best part- particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold- weather root vegetables- was a 7 a.m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers’ market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7:00 am to 1 p.m, rain or shine, along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries, the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.Disappointed by many a broken, vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的) promise, I’ve refused to buy winter tomatoes for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home they’re unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed in, with uncertainty, on one particular table at the Brown’s Grove Farm’s stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal- and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn’t be experiencing again for months.Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened whenI learned that Brown’s Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty,a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where- luckily for me- I was planning to have dinner that very night. Without even seeing the menu, I knew I’d be ordering every tomato on it.24. What did the author think of her winter life in New York?A. Exciting.B. Boring.C. Relaxing.D. Annoying.25. What made the author’s getting up late early worthwhile?A. Having a swim.B. Breathing in fresh air.C. Walking in the morning sun.D. Visiting a local farmer’s market.26. What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter?A. They are soft.B. They look nice.C. They taste great.D. They are juicy.27. What was the author going to that evening?A. Go to a farm.B. Check into a hotel.C. Eat in a restaurant.D. Buy fresh vegatables.CSalvador Dali (1904-1989) was one of the most popular of modern artists. The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly The Persistence of Memory. There is also L’Enigme sans Fin from 1938, works on paper, objects, and projects for stage and screen and selected parts from television programmes refl ecting the artist’s showman qualities.The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the world of birth. The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities (无限). “From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-thea tre in Figueras,” explains the Pompidou Centre.The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration (合作)with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg.28. Which of the following best describe Dali according to Paragraph 1?A. Optimistic.B. ProductiveC. Generous.D. Traditional.29. What is Dali’s The Persistence of Memory considered to be?A. One of his masterworks.B. A successful screen adaptation.C. An artistic creation for the stage.D. One of the beat TV programmes.30. How are the exhibits arranged at the World of Dali?A. By popularity.B. By importance.C. By size and shape.D. By time and subject.31. What does th e word “contributions” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Artworks.B. Projects.C. Donations.D. Documents.DConflict is on the menu tonight at the café La Chope. This evening, as on every Thursday night, psychologist Maud Lehanne is leading two of France’s favorite pastimes, coffee drinking and the “talking cure”. Here they are learning to get in touch with their true feelings. It isn’t always easy. They customers-some thirty Parisians who pay just under $2 (plus drinks) per session-care quick to intellectualize (高谈阔论),slow to open up and connect. “You are forbidden to say ‘one feels,’ or ‘people think’,”Lehane told them. “Say ‘I think,’ ‘Think me’.”A café society where no intellectualizing is allowed? It couldn’t seem more un-French. But Lehanne’s psychology café is about more than knowing oneself: It’s trying to help the city’s troubled neighborhood cafes. Over the years, Parisian cafes have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestyle-longer working hours, a fast food boom and a you nger generation’s desire to spend more time at home. Dozens of new theme cafes appear to change the situation. Cafes focused around psychology, history, and engineering are catching on, filling tables well into the evening.32.What are people encouraged to do at the cafe La Chope?A. Learn a new subjectB. Keep in touch with friends.C. Show off their knowledge.D. Express their true feelings.33. How are cafes affected by French lifestyle changes?A. They are less frequently visited.B. They stay open for longer hours.C. They have bigger night crowds.D. They start to serve fast food.34. What are theme cafes expected to do?A. Create more jobs.B. Supply better drinks.C. Save the cafe business.D. Serve the neighborhood.35. Why are psychology cafes becoming popular in Paris?A. They bring people true friendship.B. They give people spiritual support.C. They help people realize their dreams.D. They offer a platform for business links.D篇.文章大意:文章主要讲述了精神咖啡馆在法国越来越受欢迎。

visitors can have incredible views of both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.Miravalles VolcanoAccording to the Costa Rica Tourism Board,Miravalles Volcano,standing at6,654feet,“produces so much

center for young children,and her husband,Ari Kadin,who is in property management,were expecting their first child when Davis miscarried(流产).They were desperately heartbroken.But the couple,who were volunteering with adults in a Skid Row homeless shelter,refused to let their heartbreak break them.“In2013,our child would have been one year old,”says Davis,38.“And we kept seeing these kids at the shelter,and I said to my husband,‘We couldn’t throw a birthday party for our child,so let’s do it for these kids.’ ”They took over a room in the Union Rescue Mission and filled it with streamers(飘带),gifts,a cake—all the makings of a great party.Since then,the couple has thrown a party every month.They routinely attract250kids and their parents.An hour before each party,volunteers arrive to set up the decorations and activities:face painting, balloon artists,a DJ,cake,and pizza.There are small presents for the kids celebrating their birthdays that month,but Davis makes sure there are more than enough to go around.“I remember a mom came with her two kids,”Davis says.“And her child had a birthday.We had an extra gift for her—pink headphones.The little girl was so excited that she was jumping up and down.And her mom…she’s crying,‘Yesterday was her birthday.I had nothing to give her.I really didn’t expect a birthday party for my child.’”Doing her best to normalize(使正常化)these kids’lives is both heartwarming and bittersweet,Davis says.“If you look down,you see so many homeless people on the street,which reminds you that these kids don’t get to leave this area after the party.”It may be why,after throwing88parties,she still cries after each one.24.Why did the couple volunteer in a Skid Row homeless shelter in2013?A.Because they love

has been set up at Japan’s Narita International Airport for travelers from abroad who can’t find room in a government site as they wait for their coronavirus test results,according toreports.The unsightly(难看的)set-up in the airport’s baggage claim area is equipped with workers wearing protective suits who provide snacks and water,CNN reported.People on local social media have criticized the arrangement,saying it could actually promote the spread of the deadly disease.“They don’t do much testing in Japan,but many travelers who returned from overseas are infected,”complained Misachasu,who also described the experience of his Vietnamese pal who spent a night in a cardboard cubicle.“We consider this space a high risk of infection,”he wrote.Though flights at the airport are down so sharply that it has closed one of its runways,planes are still arriving with passengers arriving from countries including the US and Italy who must undergo tests before they can go home.The travelers may receive results as quickly as six hours,but delays mean many have to wait as long as one or two days,a Health Ministry official told Channel News Asia on condition of anonymity.The cardboard boxes,which were developed for use in evacuation centers(避难中心)during disasters,contain a mattress(床垫)and a quilt.“There are facilities(设施)near the airport for people to stay,so as far as I know the beds haven’t been used yet—or if they have,it’s only been very briefly,”the official told the outlet.Japan,which last week declared a state of emergency in major population areas,has recorded at least7,400 cases from COVID-19,with137deaths,according to public broadcaster NHK.28.Who is the cardboard box hotel intended for?A.people on local social mediaB.workers in the airport’s baggage claim

another horrible effect of the pandemic. They are being forced to destroy tens of millions of pounds of fresh food that they can no longer sell.The closing of restaurants,hotels and schools has left some farmers with no buyers for more than half their crops.And even as retailers see spikes(高峰)in food sales to Americans who are now eating nearly every meal at home,the increases are not enough to absorb all of the perishable(易变质的)food that was planted weeks ago and intended for schools and businesses.The amount of waste is shocking.The nation’s largest dairy cooperative,Dairy Farmers of America,estimates that farmers are dumping as many as3.7million gallons of milk each day.A single chicken processor is smashing(粉碎)750,000unhatched eggs every week.Many farmers say they have donated part of the surplus(过剩的)to food banks and Meals on Wheels programs, which have been overwhelmed with demand.But there is only so much perishable food that charities with limited numbers of refrigerators and volunteers can absorb.And the costs of harvesting,processing and then transporting produce and milk to food banks or other areas of need would put further financial stress on farms that have seen half their paying customers disappear.Exporting much of the excess food is not possible either,farmers say,because many international customers are also struggling through the pandemic and recent currency fluctuations make exports unprofitable.“It’s heartbreaking,”said Paul Allen,co-owner of R.C.Hatton,who has had to destroy millions of pounds of beans and cabbage at his farms in South Florida and Georgia.The widespread destruction of fresh food—at a time when many Americans are hurting financially and millions are suddenly out of work—reflects the profound economic uncertainty caused by the virus and how difficult it has been for huge sectors of the economy,like agriculture,to adjust to such a sudden change in how they must operate.32.Which of the following is NOT the effect of the pandemic according to the passage?A.the boom of retailB.shortages in grocery storesC.mad scrambles of pasta or toilet paper rollD.the destruction of tens of millions of pounds of fresh food33.One of the reasons why the farmers don’t donate all their surplus to charities is_____A.that they are mercilessB.that charities won’t accept their donationC.that charities don’t have enough fridges and volunteers.D.that they would rather destroy the surplus than donate them for nothing.34.Which costs increase further financial stress on the farmers EXCEPT_____.A.the cost of customsB.the cost of harvestingC.the cost of processing foodD.the cost of transporting produce and milk35.What’s the best title for the passage?A.The Heartbroken FarmersB.Food Waste of the PandemicC.A Sudden change in AgricultureD.The Horrible Effect of the Pandemic第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
