The non-profit organization she founded, NEST4US, has helped tens of thousands of people in the United States. Through it, it’s served over 12,000 homeless people in the Washington, D.C. area by providing food and other supplies.Venkat’s passion for helping others started as soon as she could walk, as her parents, active volunteers themselves, brought her along on their various projects, like some creative ways to volunteer. By fifth grade, she’d developed such enthusiasm for it that she started organizing her own service projects in her community.NEST4US was born when she realized how much food waste there is, how many hungry people there are, and how simple it would be to use the former to help the latter. “There was a homeless man standing on a corner in D.C. and he was holding a sign that said ‘Hungry Need Food’,” she recalls. “So I gave him my lunch and his whole face just lit up. It was so easy, it only took me 30 seconds, and it really helped him.”As NEST4US took off, with hundreds of volunteers helping to feed thousands of hungry people, Venkat decided to branch out with her volunteer efforts, starting three other branches of NEST4US. Serving others had become such a way of life for her that she even celebrated her 13th birthday at a homeless shelter, bringing the party to them instead of expecting gifts for herself.As much as she has helped others, they’ve helped her too. Not only does she get a lot of joy and personal satisfaction from her volunteer work but running NEST4US has taught her important life skills like time management, public speaking, writing, and leadership. “What it’s really given me is this opinion of putting other people first,” she says.24.What can we infer about NEST4US from the first paragraph?A.Its main aim is to make money.B.It offers people cheap supplies.C.It takes in all homeless people.D.It is a charity organization.25.What caused Venkat to set up NEST4US?A.Her parents’ constant suggestion.B.The memory of her hard childhood.C.Her experience of helping a hungry man.D.V olunteers’ great influence on her.26. Why did Venkat spend her 13th birthday at a homeless shelter?A.She held a grand party for many people.B. She could receive many nice gifts there.C. She got much personal satisfaction from it.D. She saw helping others as part of her life.27. Which of the following best describes Shreyaa Venkat?A. Caring.B. Ambitious.C. Humorous.D. Demanding.CDrivers who drive a little too close to cyclists on the road could soon be caught on the spot. A new technology adopted by legal departments in Ottawa could help carry out legal distance between bikers and cars on the road.The device, which is fixed on a bicycle’s handlebars like a bike bell, uses sonar（声呐）technology to measure the distance between the bike and passing cars. The device will make a loud noise if the car is within one meter of the bike, the legal limit in the city of Ottawa, allowing the police rider to radio ahead to his colleagues so that the driver can be pulled over. “The safety of all road users is extremely vital, including cyclists. These cycling changes are directed at encouraging cycling, promoting road safety, and sharing the road,” said Rob Wilkinson, coordinator of the Safer Roads Ottawa Program.The authorities started the program last week with a single sonar device. One police officer rode the bike bearing the device around the city on Tuesday to prove the effectiveness（有效性）of the technology. Within a few minutes of riding, the device was beeping, registering that two drivers had violated the one-meter distance requirement. The drivers were pulled over and given brochures informing them that they had broken the safe distance law.Wilkinson noted that the device is not currently being used to issue fines, which can go up to $110, and that there are no plans to use it for enforcement（执法）in the future. At this point, its main use is to spread awareness about the safe distance law, which was passed last September in an effort to encourage rider safety and reduce deadly crashes.28. What will happen if the safe distance is beyond the legal limit?A. The cyclist will soon be caught on the spot.B. The police will make the driver stop by the road.C. The driver will be arrested for driving too fast.D. The device will at once call the police of itself.29.What’s the main purpose of using the device?A.To make the bicycle attractive.B.To encourage people to walk.C.To guarantee road safety.D.To warn drivers of danger.30.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “beeping” in paragraph 3?A. Making a loud noise.B. Receiving an urgent message.C. Sending a stop signal.D. Radioing the police rider.31.What does Wilkinson say about the device?A. It is being developed at present.B. It still has room for improvement.C.It may be used to fine drivers later.D. It helps reduce traffic accidents.DOne of the most dangerous insects you need to watch out for during summer is mosquitoes. But no matter how you try to avoid them, some people naturally attract mosquitoes more than others.One of the most important facts to remember is that mosquitoes track people down by smell and body odour（气味）, according to Bart Knols, PhD, a biologist devoted to the study of mosquitoes. The carbon dioxide people breathe out, along with chemicals from the skin, creates an “odour plume” that mosquitoes can detect from up to almost 100 feet away. “Each person gives off more than 300 chemicals from the skin, more than 100 in breathing out,” Knols says.The specific mixtures on the skin that mosquitoes respond to vary by species. The yellow fever mosquito and Asian tiger mosquito, for example, respond well to lactic acid from skin. African malaria mosquitoes respond to a mix of fatty acids, according to Knols. Your individualmixtures and smells determine how much of a mosquito attraction you are, depending on the mosquito species. The mix of chemicals you produce are only partly in your control. These chemicals depend on your genetic make-up, health condition, diet, skin pH, and so on. “Bacteria （细菌）on the skin break down the mixtures that we give off through our pores（毛孔）, and these are the attractive smells,” Knols says. “So it is not actually we that attract mosquitoes, but the bacteria on our skin.”Although this is a complex and partly understood phenomenon, Knols says that we do all have a unique smell. There are many folk stories about why some people are more or less attractive to mosquitoes. Some people falsely think the blood type is the cause, and others believe taking vitamin B or eating garlic makes people less attractive to mosquitoes—but Knols notes there’s no scientific data backing these claims.32.What do we learn from the second paragraph?A.Mosquitoes can detect people with smell.B.Nobody can avoid mosquitoes anyway.C.A person breathes out over 300 chemicals.D.People naturally attract mosquitoes.33.Why does the author take several kinds of mosquitoes for example?A.To persuade readers to protect the environment.B.To warn people against touching mosquitoes.C.To show different mosquitoes react to mixtures.D.To make people look out for poisonous mosquitoes.34.What draws mosquitoes according to Bart Knols?A.Chemicals in the mouth.B.Mixtures people give off.C.Smells from the pores.D.Bacteria on the skin.35.What is the best title for the text?A.The Scientific Reason You Are a Mosquito AttractionB.Folk Stories about How Mosquitoes Attack PeopleC.Attitudes toward Mosquitoes Different People HaveD.Ways to Make People More and More Attractive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。

AFlying the friendly skies has been，well，not quite as friendly these days．If you’re looking not just for the best prices，most convenient times and most direct routes，but also for an airline that will treat you fight，you’11 want to check these latest rankings．We got our hands on the 2017 Aidine Satisfaction Study，released this month，from J．D．Power North America，a global research firm．Here’s what they discovered about the best airlines.Alaska Airlines takes home the top honor for the 10th time．Flying anywhere and Alaska Airlines is an option? Jump on that deal! Why? For the past decade，they’ve ranked the highest among traditional carriers，with the score of 765 on a 1，000-point scale．Delta took home the silver but only with a seven-point gap from its competitor A1aska Airlines．American Airlines came in for the bronze．For budget airlines，Southwest is second to none．Since the research was divided into parts，Southwest got an honor of its own in the“low—cost carrier”part，defeating JetBlue Airways by four points．This small margin(差额)is significant，since Southwest officially ends JetBlue Airways’winning this category constantly for 11 years．The full list of the top 10 airlines，either in traditional carriers or the budget ones are below：21．What is the score of Delta Airlines in the 2017 Airline Satisfaction Study? A．765．B．758．C．772．D．769．22．Which airline does well both in traditional and budget carriers?A．Alaska Airlines．B．Air Canada．C．United Airlines．D．Frontier Airlines．23．What do we know about Southwest Airlines?A．It narrowly beat JetBlue．B．It took the second place．C．It is the best traditional airline．D．It is the safest airline．BOn September 5，Earl Melchert was supposed to be at work managing a fertilizer plant but he forgot a diesel(柴油)can that he had needed to fill，so he left work and drove to his home in Alexandria，Minnesota，to grab it．As he prepared to head back to work，he saw something moving in his field about a haft-mile away．“I thought at first it was a deer．”he said in an interview．It turned out to be 15-year-old Jasmine Block，who had disappeared on August 8 from her home about 30 miles from Melchert’s home．“I could make out her face，and I went，‘Oh my gosh，this is the girl from Alexandria that’s been gone for 29 days；’”Melchert said．“It'd been on the news．It’d been online．It went national．It was on posters，in stores，her face，her picture．Right away I recognized her．”Jasmine had escaped from a nearby abandoned house，where the three men who abducted her had kept her for the previous few days．She swam across the lake near Melchert’s property to get tohis house．All three men involved in the kidnapping have been arrested．On Friday，the Alexandria Police Department presented Melchert，with a $7，000 reward that had been offered for information leading to Jasmine’s return；$2，000 had come from Jasmine’s family and $5，000 from an anonymous donor．Melchert said he knew exactly what to do with the check．He gave it to Jasmine．“It’s the best thing I've ever done，”said Melchert，who went to dinner with Jasmine and her family after the presentation on Friday．“The family needs the money．”he said．“To me，yeah，that’s a lot of money，but they need it way worse than，I do．”24．Where did Melchert spot the missing girl?A．On his way home．B．On his way to work．C．In his house．D．In a fertilizer plant．25．What does the underlined word“abducted”in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Taught someone a lesson．B．Took someone away by force．C．Played a trick on someone．D．Reminded someone of something．26．Which of the following words can best describe Melchert?A．Considerate and kind．B．Adaptable and faithful．C．Humorous and professional．D．Ambitious and cooperative．27．What could be the best tide of the text?A．A missing teenager．B．Kidnappers arrested．C．A teenager resuced by the Internet．D．Melchert’s reward going to the victim．CNature may be red in tooth and claw．But one caterpillar(毛毛虫)dresses in orange and black to avoid becoming somebody’s lunch．What’s really surprising，though，is that this distinctive set of stripes(条纹)can serve as both a warning and as disguise，depending on how far away it is from the viewer．Animals can make use of color as a defense mechanism in a couple of ways．Some shades and patterns help animals combine into the background．However dating markings often work as a signal that an animal is uneatable．So，these two strategies have often been considered not to coexist．But under natural conditions you find this distinction is less clear cut．Jim Barnett of the University of Bristol，who led the study to explore whether the same coloration might do double duty，allowing an animal to be obvious under some conditions but unseen in others．They focused their attention on the caterpillars．Their bright appearance was believed to remind the birds that may have eaten others of their kind that they are none too tasty，thanks to their fixed diet．The researchers took photos of the caterpillars in suburban green spaces around Bristo1．And they used a visual modeling program to give them a“bird’s-eye view”of what the caterpillars look like，either close-up or from farther away．What they found is that although at close range the caterpillar's stripes are highly obvious—these bright colors distinguish it quite easily from its background—but when viewed from a distance they mix together to form a color which is actually quite difficult to tell from the background color．So，the caterpillar is getting the best of both worlds．Close up，the stripes may keep your distance．But from a distance，they allow the caterpillars to hide in plain sight．The finding is a reminder：Don’t forget to step back and see things from a different perspective．28．What is the function of the animals’daring markings?A．To avoid being eaten．B．To attack their enemies．C．To distinguish themselves．D．To please their partners．29．How does caterpillars’coloration perform its double duty?A．By adapting to the environment or changing it．B．By making their appearance attractive and bodies stronger．C．By frightening off enemies or avoiding being found easily．D．By changing their skin colors in case of peace and danger．30．When viewed from a distance caterpillars appear to________．A．show off their stripes B．take on different colorsC．transform their shapes D．combine into the surroundings31．Which of the following does the author agree?A．Every coin has two sides．B．Put character before appearance．C．Try to view things from a different angle．D．One bird in the hand is worth two in the bush．DIn the basement of a landmark 27-story tower in Stockholm，Petterson is hoping to sow the seeds of an indoor urban farming revolution．He is the chief executive of Plantagon，a new urban farming factory set to kick off operations in the basement of an office block in the Swedish capital．He is by no means the first enthusiast for indoor farming，which has become increasingly fashionable in recent years．Claims for the practice of growing food in basements range from feeding people in desert environments to transforming the negative environmental effects of monoculture farming．Plantagon’s early promises reflect this new optimism．Petterson calls the farm’s approach “agritechture”：the combination of agriculture，technology and architecture hoping to revolutionize how we live and eat．The term may be new，but the concept isn’t．Indoor farming is made possible by agricultural technologies such hydroponics (growing plants without soil)and aeroponics (in which plants are grown in air over containers)．Food can be produced without direct sunlight or soil．Plantagon plans to grow high-value foods in a pumice-like material rather than soil．Water for the plants is measured precisely．It will also dehumidify(除湿)the air and reuse any extra water to ensure zero waste．Compared with conventional agriculture，it will need much less water to produce the same amount of crops．Energy is also a key issue for indoor urban farms，which have to create artificial sunlight．Although advances in the efficiency of LED lights have helped bring down energy consumption in recent years，plants use only about 1 percent of the artificial light produced．This leads to a great waste of energy，most of which disappears as heat．The basement farm will capture around 70 percent of this wasted heat and pipe it into the heating system of the office block above．Oxygen produced by the plants will be sent to office workers via the building’s air conditioners．32．What does Plantagon plan to do in the basement?A．Grow crops．B．Do operations．C．Open a seed company．D．Give lectures about farming．33．What does the underlined phrase“the term”in Paragraph 4 refer to?A．Aeroponics．B．Hydroponics．C．Monoculture．D．Agritechture．34．What do indoor farms do with energy waste?A．Produce oxygen．B．Run air conditioners．C．Heat offices．D．Create artificial sunlight．35．What is the text mainly about?A．A farming revolution．B．Petterson’s achievement．C．A water-saving farming project．D．An environment-friendly system．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。

Ruined by a tiny virus, the list of countries where our passports are not welcome is long.It is not natural for us to be this sedentary (定居的). Travel is in our genes. For most of the time our species has existed, we've lived as nomadic (游牧的) hunter-gatherers. But what if we can't move? What's a traveler to do? There are ways to answer that question. "Despair," though, is not one of them.We are an adaptive species. We can tolerate brief periods of forced sedentariness. We pass the days glancing through old travel journals and Instagram posts. We gaze at souvenirs. All this helps. For a while. Then, what hope do we have?I think hope lies in the very nature of travel. Travel involves wishful thinking. It demands a leap of faith, and of imagination, to board a plane for some faraway, land. Travel is one of the few activities we engage in not knowing the outcome and are drunk in that uncertainty. Nothing is more forgettable than the trip that goes exactly as planned.That's one reason why I have faith in travel's future. In fact, I'd argue travel is an essential activity. It's notessential the way hospitals and grocery stores are essential. Travel is essential the way books and hugs are essential. Food for the soul. Right now, we're between courses, enjoying where we've been, expecting where we'll go. Maybe it'sZanzibarand maybe it's the campground down the road that you've always wanted to visit.4. From the first paragraph we learn that the author is _______ .A. desperateB. humorousC. boredD. worried5. From the author's perspective, what's the point of travel?A. To feel hopeful.B. To make a wish.C. To take adventures.D. To broaden horizons.6. How is the passage mainly developed?A. By showing evidences.B. By providing examples.C. By making comparisons.D. By interpreting opinions.7. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Where to go for a trip.B. Why people need to travel.C. How to fight the pandemic.D. What people should do at home.CAddiction to smartphones will result in poor sleep, according to a new study.The study, published Tuesday in Frontiers in Psychiatry, looked at smartphone use among 1,043 students between the ages of 18 and 30at King's College London. Researchers asked the students to complete two questionnaires on their sleep quality and smartphone use, in person and online.Using a 10-question scale that was developed to judge smartphone addiction in children, nearly 40% of the university students qualified as "addicted" to smartphones, the study found. “Our findings are in agreement with other reported studies in young adult populations globally, which are in the range of 30-45%,” lead author Sei Yon Sohn and her co-authors wrote in the study. "Later time of use was also significantly connected with smartphone addiction, with use after 1 a.m. increasing a 3- times risk," the authors wrote.Students who reported high use of smartphones also reported poor sleep quality, the study found. That foilsin line with previous studies that have found overuse of smartphones at night to be associated with trouble falling asleep, reduced sleep duration (睡眠持续时间)and daytime tiredness. That's likely because use of smartphones close to bedtime has been shown to delay the body's normal sleep - and - wake clock.In fact, the No. 1 rule is "no computers, cell phones, and ipads in bed and at least one hour beforebed Dr. Vsevolod Polotsky, who directs sleep basic research, said in a recent interview. That's because "any LED light source from electronics (电子设备)may further hold back melatonin (褪黑激素)levels," Polotsky said. Melatonin is often referred to as a "sleep hormone," because we sleep better during the night when levels reach the top.“This is a cross-sectional study, and it cannot lead to any firm conclusions about smartphone use as the cause of reduced sleep quality, said Bob Patton, a lecturer in clinical psychology at the University of Surrey, via email.8. How did Sei Yon Sohn's team begin their study?A. By publishing researching papers.B. By responding to others’ concern.C. By collecting firsthand data.D. By turning to related experts.9. What did the study find about sleep quality and smartphone use?A. 30-45% of the university students are addicted to smartphones.B. High use of smartphones is related to poor sleep quality.C. Overuse of smartphones leads to shorter sleep duration.D. Use after 1 a.m. will result in smartphone addiction.10. What is Polotsky's opinion on electronics ?A. We should stop using them an hour before going to sleep.B. LED light source from them will delay normal sleep- and- wake clock.C. Reduced sleep quality has nothingto do with them.D. No electronics should be used in bed at any time.11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Say No to SmartphonesB. Sleep Quality Can Be ImprovedC. LED Light Source Causes Great HarmD. Smartphone Addiction Ruins SleepDWhen I was trying to find a place where to spend my December holidays, I met by chance some cheap flights to Iceland. After checking just a few winter pictures of Iceland, I realized that the country, known as the land of fireand ice, during the cold months of the year could offer me experiences I had never had before.For sure you can’t miss the chance to go to Iceland in winter if your traveling wish list includes at least one of the crazy experiences Iceland can offer. Iceland in the North Atlantic Ocean is a paradise (乐园) for all those who want to see the northern lights, experience cold weather conditions and put themselves in geothermal (地热的) baths while the snow is falling on their head.The best way to move around Iceland is with a rental car. Distances are huge and public transport in winter is not really common out of the major towns. As we wanted to be even more convenient we decided to rent a small camper (野营车). Sleeping and cooking in a camper saved us a lot of driving, money and gave us the chance tobe always in the right place at the right time.There were also no locals and in many cases no tourist facilities (设备). For us, as we slept in a camper, it was easier. But for tourists traveling by normal cars it is necessary to check the opening times ofhotels and restaurants as many of them run just from June to September.It is amazing to experience how the weather is changing in Iceland. However, Icelanders prefer to stay inside their houses. They have even no time to complain about the weather in December. All they care about is Christmas. They love to decorate their houses, sing Christmas songs and eat typical Christmas food.12. Why is Iceland famous as the land of fire and ice?A. Because tourists would like to play with fire on the ice.B. Because it is too dry to easily cause fire to happen.C. Because it is hot inside a house and cold outside.D. Because there exist hot springs and freezing ice.13. What did the author think of the rented camper?A. It was not only practical but also economical.B. It was convenient but cost them more money.C. It provided the best chance to see the new country.D. It was much faster than other public transport.14. What does the last paragraph imply?A. The Icelanders prefer to live with their family.B. The joy of Christmas drives the freezing weather away.C. December is the coldest month of the year.D. The Icelanders are always positive and stay outside.15. What does this passage most probably come from?A. A textbookB. A scientific reportC. A travel magazineD. A news report第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

Here are four of the greatest painters from China.Li Cheng (919—967, Five Dynasties and early Song Dynasty)Li Cheng contributed greatly to one of the golden ages of landscape paintings in world history. During his time, he was considered the best landscape painter ever. He is remembered especially for the winter landscapes he created and for simple compositions of tall, old evergreens set against a dry landscape. Several of his paintings are in thin ink which gives them a foggy appearance.Fan Kuan (990—1020 , Song Dynasty)Fan Kuan began his career by modeling Li Cheng's work but later created his own style, claiming that the only true teacher was nature. His finest workTravelers among Mountains and Streamsis a masterpiece of landscape painting and many future artists turned to it for inspiration.Qi Baishi (1864-1957)One of the greatest contemporary Chinese painters, Qi Baishi is known for not being influenced by Western styles like most painters of his time. He can be considered as the last great traditional painter of China. He painted almost everything from insects to landscapes. He is regarded highly in Chinese art for the freshness that he brought to the familiar types of birds and flowers, insects and grass.Wu Guanzhong (1919—2010)Widely considered as the founder of modern Chinese painting , Wu Guanzhong has painted various aspects of China, like its architecture, plants, animals, people and landscapes.

My mother came toAmericafromScotlandby herself when she was 11, and she didn’t have much education. My dad was kind of a street kid, and he eventually went into the insurance business, selling nickel policies door to door.One day, my dad asked his boss, “What's the toughest market to sell?” and the insurance guy replied “Well, black people. They don’t buy insurance.” My dad thought, but they have kids; they have families. Why wouldn’t they buy insurance? So he said, “Give meHarlem.”When my dad died in 1994, I talked about him onThe Tonight Show. I told the story of how he worked in Harlem and how he always taught us to be open-minded and not to say or think things of racism (种族主义). Then one day, I got a letter from a woman who was about 75 years old.She wrote that when she was a little girl, a man used to come to her house to collect policies. She said this man was the only white person who had ever come to dinner at their house. The man was very kind to her, she said, and his name was Angelo—was this my father?The letter made me cry. I called her up and said yes, that was in fact my dad, and she told me how kind he had been to her family. Her whole attitude toward white people was based on that one nice man she met in her childhood, who always treated her with kindness and respect and always gave her a piece of candy. From this experience, I learned a valuable life lesson: never judge people and be open-minded and kind to others.4. What did my father do after knowing what was the toughest market to sell?A.

However, two athletes recently showed the world another quality that is definitely worth championing.Qatar's Mutaz Essa Barshim and Italy's Gianmarco Tamberi were competing in the high jump on Sunday when they reached a stalemate (僵局). Both men had managed to jump over a surprising 2.37 meters with no faults along the way. However, after three attempts neither managed the next level of 2.39 meters.An Olympic official suggested ajump-offbetween the two friends and rivals (竞争对手) to determine who would get the gold medal. But Barshim had another plan to reward their efforts.“Can we have two golds?” he asked the official.The official agreed and the two men jumped for joy. This was the first time a gold medal had been shared since 1912. “He is one of my best friends, not only on the track, but outside the track. We work together. This is a dream come true.” shared Barshim.The decision to share the medal was particularly meaningful to Tamberi. The Italian had suffered an ankle injury that prevented him from competing in the Rio Olympics in 2016, and it nearly put an end to his career altogether. So this year he brought along his cast to this year's Olympics with “Road to Tokyo 2021” to inspire him along the way.For Barshim, the gold has topped off his already impressive medal collection, having received a bronze and a silver medal in 2012 and 2016 respectively.Despite all the glory of receiving a gold medal for their countries, their achievement means so much more. These two individuals, trying to do their very best for their countries, have provided a wonderful example to all those competing in sports.

The considerate and sharing Olympic spirit.DTOKYO—Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga told the media on Monday if any places hosting events of the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics declare a state of emergency due to the COVID-19 epidemic during the games, the events will continue to beheld but without spectators (观众). With one month to go before the games are due to begin on July 23, Suga is again showing his administration’s determination to hold the Olympic Games as planned, despite so much pressure from various parties urging it tocancel the event.Although the Japanese government regards the Tokyo Olympics as an important opportunity to improve its soft power, the Japanese people’s enthusiasm for the Games has been continuously dented (挫伤) since they were postponed last year. The resurgence (再猖獗) of the novel coronavirus in some places is Japan in recent months has cast a shadow over people’s confidence that the Olympics will not give rise to new clusters (群) ofinfections, and there are fears that the Games will provide new channels for the virus’ global transmission.Some torchbearers from Japan have withdrawn from the Olympic torch relay in the country. And the latest survey indicates only 34 percent of Japanese people support holding the games as scheduled. Predictably, the Suga administration will do all it can to try to ensure the games go ahead. But it remains to be seen whether it can stand the tests of the uncertainties related to epidemic prevention and control that might happen during the Games.Since it has not yet got the virus under control at home, the people have reasons to question is ability to deal with the prevention and control work when large numbers of participants will be flocking to Japan from around the world in a short time. It is to be hoped that Japan can draw lessons from the organization of epidemic prevention and control work during the ongoing UEFA European Championship, carry out strict epidemic prevention and control measures, and be prepared for emergencies to guarantee the safety and success of the Olympics at this special time.It should be a common wish of the whole world that the Tokyo Olympics can become a stage showing unity and resolve of human beings in their fight against the virus. That willendowthe games with special meaning beyond sports.12. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. The virus’ global transmission.B. People’ worry about the infections.C. The resurgence of the novel coronavirus.D. The benefit of holding the Tokyo Olympics.13. How do about one third of Japanese people like holding the games as planned?A. Uncertain.B. Negative.C. Approving.D. Indifferent.14. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “endow” in the last paragraph?A. Compare.B. Equip.C. Provide.D. Charge.15. What can be the best title for the news report?A. Japan can ensure Olympics go aheadB. Olympics big test for Japanese governmentC. Japanese people’s enthusiasm for the GamesD.
