A
Two Special Museums
Barbed (有刺的) Wire Museum
Is this the strangest museum of all? One thing’s for sure— you won’t want to touch the handiwork on display!
Invented by Joseph Glidden in 1874, this type of wire fencing quickly turned into a multi- million-
dollar industry. Where farmers once let their animals wander freely across the prairies (草地), this wire
now enabled land to be sectioned— and that in turn, changed the face of the“ Wild West”!
Opened in 1971, the museum displays over 2,000 varieties of barbed wire, as well as tools and equipment used
in fencing. Who would come here? The thousands of barbed wire fans across the world, it seems!
The Salt and Pepper Shaker Museum
Opened in 2001, the owners of this small museum in Tennessee, USA are serious collectors! Their museum
houses over 20,000 different salt and pepper shakers, some of which date back thousands of years!
With shakers shaped as astronauts, chickens, monks, letters and cute puppies, you will be amazed at the
enormous variety on show! And while you look through their packed shelves, you also get to learn the rather
interesting history behind salt and pepper.
One salt shaker the Ludden family don’t have in their museum is the Cellini Salt Cellar. This was presented to
Francis I, King of France, in 1543 and was made from pure gold and it’s worth an amazing €50 million!
21. When was barbed wire fencing invented?
A. In 1874. B. In 1971. C. In 2001. D. In 1543.
22. What can we do in the Salt and Pepper Shaker Museum?
A. Take photos with astronauts.
B. Use different kinds of shakers.
C. Learn history about salt and pepper.
D. Admire a shaker once used by Francis I.
23. What do the two museums have in common?
A. They show something famous.
B. They show something unusual.
C. They show something popular.
D. They show something helpful.

In Saskatchewan, Canada, vegetables have a short growing season. So a very unique farm in Hudson
Bay is growing fresh, pesticide- free (无农药的) vegetables in a hydroponic (水培的) farm all year long.
There the plants are grown in water instead of soil.
Growing vegetables in the middle of nowhere, about 300 kilometres northeast of Saskatoon, may seem like a
big risk, but there is no other place for people to get locally grown food. Produce is available in local supermarkets
but it is trucked in from far away.The idea to turn the no longer used Stewart Hawke school into a farm came to the Nels when
Hudson Bay asked for bids (投标) for the building in 2018. It was empty and if an alternative use
wasn’t found, it would be pulled down. “We started looking for ideas, and we went and proposed doing
this,” Jan Nel said.“ And they loved it.”
After the proposal was accepted, the family worked together to prepare the building in January 2019 and they
planted the first seeds in just one classroom the next month.
The company has grown and is now using several rooms thanks to the quality of the produce and the fact that
it is local, according to June Nel.“ It’s not two weeks old; it hasn’t travelled across the country or across the world,”
she said. “It actually tastes like lettuce. Lots of people have commented on our herbs. It actually still tastes fresh
when you get it, and there’s no pesticide used.”
She expects more producers to turn to hydroponics in the future but notes that the technology is limited to only
some fruits and vegetables and doesn’t work for potatoes or grains.“ It’s not the answer to the food security
question or challenge, but it will play an increasingly larger role,” she adds.
24. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
A. Vegetables are plentiful in Saskatchewan.
B. People in Saskatchewan can’t get fresh vegetables.
C. Hydroponic farms are very popular in Saskatchewan.
D. The climate in Saskatchewan is not good for farming.
25. What did the farm use to be?
A. A supermarket. B. A school.
C. A garden. D. A factory.
26. What is the biggest advantage of the Nels’ vegetables?
A. They are cheap. B. They are fresh.
C. They are nutritive. D. They are delicious.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. A New Way Helps Deal with Food Security
B. A Family Devote to Improving People’s Life
C. A Used School Turns into a Hydroponic Farm
D. An Innovative Practice Boosts the Future of Farming
C
We know that spending lots of time sitting down isn’t good for us, but just how much exercise is needed to
match the negative health effects of sitting down all day? Research suggests about 30-40 minutes per day of
building up a sweat should do it.
Up to 40 minutes of “moderate (温和的) to vigorous (有力的) intensity physical activity” every day
is about the right amount to balance out 10 hours of sitting still, the research says— although any
amount of exercise or even just standing up helps to some extent.
That’s based on a study published in 2020 analyzing nine previous studies, involving a total of 44,370 people
in four different countries who were wearing some form of fitness tracker. The analysis found the risk of death
among those with a more sedentary (久坐的) lifestyle went up as time spent engaging in moderate- to-vigorous intensity physical activity went down. In other words, putting in some reasonably intensive
activities— cycling, brisk walking, gardening— can lower your risk of an earlier death.
While analyses like this one always require some detailed dot- joining across separate studies with different
volunteers, timescales and conditions, the benefit of this particular piece of research is that it relied on relatively
objective data from wearables— not data self- reported by the participants.
The research based on fitness trackers is broadly in line with the 2020 WHO guidelines, which recommend
150—300 mins of moderate intensity or 75—150 mins of vigorous intensity physical activity every week to
balance out sedentary behaviour.
Walking up the stairs instead of taking the lift, playing with children and pets, taking part in yoga or dancing,
doing household chores, walking, and cycling are all put forward as ways in which people can be more active—
and if you can’t manage the 30—40 minutes right away, the researchers say, start off small.
28. How does the author start the text?
A. By telling stories. B. By listing numbers.
C. By giving examples. D. By raising questions.
29. What did the research find?
A. The longer you sit still, the earlier you will die.
B. The more you exercise, the healthier you will be.
C. Productivity can be improved through physical activities.
D. Proper intensive activities help reduce the risk of earlier death.
30. Why is the research reliable?
A. It’s based on previous studies.
B. Its data is relatively objective.
C. It’s carried out in different countries.
D. Its data is from the participants’ reports.
31. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To analyze the risk of sitting still.
B. To recommend a healthy lifestyle.
C. To inspire people to do more exercise.
D. To show benefits of physical activities.
D
Plastic pollution has become an unfortunate fact of life all over the world— including in the oceans. While all
that junk floating around can pose a serious threat to many animals, a new study finds some species may have
actually turned it into an entirely new ecosystem!
The North Pacific “Garbage Patch” is a huge area in the ocean where a lot of plastic waste gets stuck.
However, it’s not just wastes that get caught up in this mess. Researchers from Georgetown University found that
many sea creatures like jellyfish, snails, and barnacles also live there.
In 2018 and 2019, scientists collected 105 pieces of plastic from the patch, and found 46 different
species of invertebrates (无脊椎动物) living on them. About 80% of those species normally live near the
coast rather than in the middle of an ocean. The researchers also found that these species have been breedingon the patch— meaning there may now be a permanent community of coastal species in the middle of the ocean.
Lead author Linsey Haram said that it’s not yet known how this will affect the ocean ecosystem. But she said
the coastal species are likely competing for food with ocean species, and they may also be eating each other.
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is one of the five areas of garbage that have formed in the middle
of huge circular ocean currents called gyres (环流). Another garbage patch is in the South Pacific, two
are in the Atlantic Ocean, and the fifth is in the Indian Ocean.
A 2018 study of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch found that about one- third of garbage that could be linked to
Japan. Up to 20% of garbage added since 2011 was created by the huge tsunami that hit northern Japan that year,
the study said.
32. What makes the plastic waste get stuck in the garbage patch?
A. Climate change. B. Human activities.
C. Sea creatures living there. D. Huge circular ocean currents.
33. What does the underlined word “breeding” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Reproducing. B. Restoring. C. Revising. D. Refreshing.
34. Why does the author mention Japan in the last paragraph?
A. To blame Japan for polluting the ocean.
B. To indicate one of the sources of the garbage.
C. To stress the responsibility of some countries.
D. To suggest clues that help with the plastic pollution.
35. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Education. B. Economy.
C. Environment. D. Entertainment.

How to Teach Time Management Skills to Teens
Teens usually have fairly structured schedules. Their school day and their after- school activities are planned
out for them. As a result, many of them don’t learn how to manage their time wisely when they have some
downtime. 36 .
Advise your teen to write down his schedule. Your teen’s time may easily get taken up with video
games or social media if he’s not careful. Teach him to schedule his day so he can set aside time for
chores(琐事), homework, and other responsibilities. 37 , so time doesn’t idly pass without feeling like he
hasn’t done anything fun.
38 . Whether it’s a planner that your teen writes everything in or an app that manages your teen’s
schedule, help your teen find the tools that will work best for him. Talk about the importance of creating a schedule
and using lists to manage his time wisely.
Help him to set goals. 39 . Then, help him identify how much time he’ll need to work on that goal each
day. Whether he wants to exercise for 30 minutes 3 times each week or he decides to apply for scholarships one
Saturday afternoon each month, goal setting is a great way to help him manage his time.
Help your teen prioritize activities. It’s common for teens to have conflicts in their schedules. Abasketball game, birthday party, and church activity may all coincide (同时发生). 40 , based on his
values and commitments.
Set limits on electronics. Your teen may waste countless hours on social media or playing video games if she’s
not careful. Establish rules that help her create healthy habits with her cellphone and other digital devices.
A. Model good time management habits
B. Give your teen time management tools
C. Practise managing your own time wisely
D. Encourage him to schedule free time as well
E. Talk to your teen about how to prioritize activities

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。
Our science teacher always enjoys giving out challenging assignments to our Grade 10 science class. Unlike
other teachers who hand out page upon page of textbook questions, Mr. Hussey seems to prefer having the students
learn science through a more hands- on, do- it- yourself approach.
“Today,” said Mr. Hussey, “everyone will be making an icebox!” As we sat in awe, trying to
imagine what kind of device he was referring to, Mr. Hussey handed out the project instructions. In
groups of two, we would design a storage (贮藏) device that was capable of keeping its contents at a
constant temperature for a certain period of time, regardless of the outside temperature. The competition
was quite straightforward: every contestant would receive a cube (立方体) of ice. The team that had the
biggest piece left the next day would win!
As always, I partnered with my best friend, Vlad. That afternoon we went straight to the library. After an
intense discussion, we agreed on the basic idea of having the ice cube inside a box, which would be put inside
another bigger box. Between the two boxes would be the heat insulator(绝缘体).
The first test of the icebox was extremely disappointing. Since this was our first experiment, we both wanted
good results to build our confidence. Before I went to bed that night, I carefully picked out a huge block of ice from
our refrigerator and placed it inside the icebox. When I woke up the next morning and looked into the icebox, there
wasn’t even a bit of ice left. Reflecting on this failure, we were determined to find a better insulating material. Then
we tried the same experiment again. This time, we made it. There was 70 percent of the ice left.

1.续写词数应为 150左右；

To Be a Smart Financial Planner
I am honoured to have the opportunity to talk about the importance of financial planning as a smart financial
planner.
Firstly, it is essential to learn financial management because it is the foundation of building financial
independence. Learning financial management will provide us with necessary knowledge and skills to spend our
allowances or red packets received from families wisely. Secondly, it is crucial to plan a budget for our daily
expenses and savings. The best way to do this is to conduct a review of our spending habits and identify areas
where we can cut down expenses.
In conclusion, by learning financial management and planning our budget, we can wisely invest our resources
and secure our financial future.
Thank you for your listening.
第二节
One possible version:
The day of the competition came very fast. We all brought our masterpieces into the classroom. Every team
had a different design— from boxes made of different materials to boxes that operated in different ways. One
fellow even attached a motor to his icebox and turned it into a refrigerator. Before we left school, Mr. Hussey gave
each group an ice tube of the same size. We put them in the iceboxes that were placed side by side on the table.
Then we left for home, hoping that we would win.
The next day, everybody rushed towards these works of art. We all hoped that there would still be some ice
left. Some kids searched and searched, and were even about to tear their iceboxes apart, but couldn’t find anything.
Luckily, it turned out that we didn’t do too badly. Having almost 60 percent of the ice cube still remaining, we had
an above- average result! The winner of the competition, however, was the guy who made a motorized refrigerator.
When we opened his icebox, he had a piece of ice that was 140 percent the size of the original! His innovative
design was definitely a cut above the rest.

(Text 5)
W: Yesterday I had dinner with Josh and his sister Sara.
M: Um... what did you think?

doesn’t see how unpleasant she is.

M: I don’t know what to do. I start off studying but I always end up doing something else.
W: I’ll help you but please listen to me. You need to take away all of the things that stop you working.
M: What do you mean?
W: First, turn off your music. Music doesn’t help you study. And put the dog outside!
M: What?
W: Well, every time the dog goes into your room, you stop studying to touch it.
M: OK. Bye, my dog!
W: Have an apple and a glass of water on your desk before you start. Here you are.
M: Why?
W: Because then you don’t need to go to the kitchen for something to eat or drink. And turn off your phone. It stops
you working.

W: OK, but you can turn off your messages.

M: Did you see who it was?
W: No. It was someone in a blue tracksuit, and there were loads of people who wore those. But there’s a CCTV
camera on the entrance. It might have got a shot of the thief’s face.

M: Good morning, everyone. Welcome to Belfast, one of the youngest capital cities in the world. In the 17th
century, it was only a village. Then during the 19th century, the development of industries like rope- making,
engineering, and tea trade doubled the town’s size every ten years. The city is well known for its shipbuilding. It
was here that the “Titanic” was built.
Here is your brief tour around Belfast. This morning you will visit City Hall. This afternoon, you will visit the
zoo and this evening, you will go to a concert at Ulster Hall. Tomorrow morning, you will visit the Ulster Museum
and see the gold treasure of the 16th- century Spanish warship. In the afternoon, you will go to the Botanic Gardens
and you will walk among rare plants. And then you will visit the Palm House. You will have a free evening so youcan go to some local pubs. You can enjoy some Irish folk music there. Next morning at 10, you will fly back to
London. I hope you will enjoy the two- day tour. Thanks.
