A
This year, most people have probably spent more of 2020 canceling travel plans than booking them,
but it’s not too late to reverse that trend. Here are some vacations you can plan this fall.
Road trip to a local farm
Visiting a farm is “number one” travel pick right now. Price plays a big role in that suggestion. Apple
picking, for example, is usually very affordable, with some orchards（果园） offering products by the
pound, for $1 or $2, and others offering a flat fee for an all-you-can fill bag for about $30.
Visit a national park
There are 421 national parks in the U.S., so odds are you’ve got one in driving range. If you’re up for a
challenge, you can climb the Half Dome in Yosemite or race down the great sand dunes in Colorado. The
parks are also affordable. An annual pass , which guarantees entry to every park for an entire family, is just
$80.
Plan a camping trip
It doesn’t cost much more than camping. Most states have dozens of drive-in camp sites, while you can
also find cabins in the $50-$100 per night range. There’s no shortage of activities, either — whether it’s
fishing, hiking, biking or just perfecting your camping recipe.
Rent an RV（露营车；房车）
RVs are a prime option for a cheap vacation. Using an RV for a vacation means you’re paying for your
transportation and lodging all in one. Also, considering that some two-person RVs can go for as little as
$175-$200 per night, you can easily find yourself traveling around the country without breaking the bank.
1. Which vacation would a thrill seeker most probably choose?A. Road trip to a local farm B. Visit a national park
C. Plan a camping trip D. Rent an RV
2. What do the vacations have in common?
A. Wallet-friendly. B. Environment-friendly.
C. Family-friendly. D. User-friendly.
3. What’s the unique advantage of renting RVs?
A. It makes your vacation adventurous.
B. It offers free trips around the world.
C. You can kill two birds with one stone.
D. You may have someone to keep you company.
B
Everyone gets anxious when the world takes an uncertain turn. And often, we treat that anxiety with a little panic
buying.
A study published last year in the Journal of Consumer Research found that people buy things in troubled times
as a means of keeping control over their lives. The researchers noted that utility items — specifically, cleaning
products — tend to move most quickly from store shelves. The hoarding（囤积）of toilet paper, as perhaps the most
fundamental cleaning product, may represent our most fundamental fears. An invisible enemy moves slowly and
quietly towards us. We need to hold on to something in uncertain times. Maybe a hoard of toilet paper brings
promises.
The thing is, it’s not actually going anywhere. For all the sharp words and even sharper elbows thrown around by
the crazy toilet paper shoppers, they seem to be missing one essential fact: There is no toilet paper shortage.
As The New York Times points out, shop owners that see their shelves emptied often fill up the shelves again in
a day, often in just a few hours.
“You are not using more of it. You are just filling up your closet with it,” Jeff Anderson, president of paper
product manufacturer Precision Paper Converters, tells the Times.
The thing is, the toilet paper-obsessed shoppers have been infected with something many times more contagious
（感染性的） than any coronavirus: fear.“People are social creatures. We look to each other for cues for what is safe and what is dangerous,” Steven
Taylor, a clinical psychologist at the University of British Columbia, tells Fox News. “And when you see someone in
the store panic-buying, that can cause a fear contagion effect. People become anxious ahead of the actual infection.
They haven’t thought about the bigger picture, like what are the consequences of hoarding toilet paper.”
4．Why do shoppers have a panic toilet paper buying?
A．The world is on the turning point.
B．It guarantees their victory over coronavirus.
C．There is no adequate supply in the store at all.
D．It comes as a way of anxiety relief.
5．By describing the scene of our defense against an enemy in paragraph 2, the author intends to .
A．explain the reasons for a panic toilet paper buying.
B．warn us of the danger of an enemy.
C．remind us of the threat of any coronavirus.
D．teach us the method of handling a problem.
6．What is the author’s attitude toward the hoarding toilet paper?
A．Uninterested. B．Negative. C．Supportive. D．Curious.
C
Stories are shared in many ways. They are described in books and magazines. They are read around the campfire
at night. They are randomly distributed from stand-alone booths. But what else?
To revive literature in the era of fast news and smartphone addiction, Short Edition, a French publisher of short-
form literature, has set up more than 30 story dispensers（分发机）in the USA in the past years to deliver fiction at
the push of a button at restaurants, universities and government offices.
Francis Ford Coppola, the film director and winemaker, liked the idea so much that he invested in the company
and placed a dispenser at his Cafe Zoetrope in San Francisco. Last month, public libraries in some other cities
announced they would be setting them up, too. There is one on the campus at Penn State. A few can be found in
downtown West Palm Beach, Fla. And Short Edition plans to announce more, including at the Los Angeles
International Airport.“Everything old is new again,” said Andrew Nurkin, director of the Free Library of Philadelphia, which is one of
the libraries that set up the dispensers. “We want people to be easily exposed to literature. We want to advance
literacy among children and inspire their creativity.”
Here’s how a dispenser works. It has three buttons on top indicating choices for stories that can be read in one
minute, three minutes or five minutes. When a button is pushed, a short story is printed.
The stories are free. They are chosen from a computer category of more than 100,000 original submissions by
writers whose works have been evaluated by Short Edition’s judges, and transmitted over a mobile network. Offerings
can be tailored to specific interests, like children’s fiction or romance. Short Edition gets stories for its category by
holding writing contests.
Short Edition set up its first booth in 2016 and has 150 machines worldwide. “The idea is to make people
happy,” said Kristan Leroy, director of Short Edition. “There is too much unhappiness today. ”
7．What do we know about the stories sent by dispensers?
A．They are easily read.
B．They are short in form.
C．They can be bought from booths.
D．They can be found in magazines.
8．Which paragraph shows the popularity of story dispensers in America?
A．Paragraph 3. B．Paragraph 5.
C．Paragraph 6. D．Paragraph 7.
9．Why were the story dispensers set up according to Andrew Nurkin?
A．To introduce French literature.
B．To get rid of smartphone addiction.
C．To make people have access to literature.
D．To reduce the financial stress of libraries.
10．What is the best title for the text?
A．Everything Old Is NewB．Online Reading: a Virtual Tour
C．Short Edition Is Getting Popular
D．Taste of Literature, at the Push of a Button

第二节：读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。续写的词数应为150左右。
After filling out fifty applications, going through four interviews, and winning one offer, I look what I could
get---a teaching job at what I considered a distant wild area: western New Jersey. My characteristic optimism was
dive only when I reminded myself that I would be doing what I had wanted to do since I was fourteen---teachingEnglish.
School started, I was teaching English. I worked hard, taking time off only to eat and sleep. And then there was
my sixth-grade class---seventeen boys and five girls who were only six years younger than me. I had a problem long
before I knew it. I was struggling in my work as a young idealistic teacher. I wanted to make literature come alive
and to promote a love for the written word. The students wanted to throw spitballs and whisper dirty words in the
back of the room.
In college I had been taught that a successful educator should ignore bad behavior. So I did, confident that, as
the textbook had said, the bad behavior would disappear as I gave my students positive attention. It sounds reasonable,
but the text evidently ignored the fact that humans, particularly teenagers, rarely seem reasonable. By the time my
boss, who was also my task master known to be the strictest most demanding, most quick to fire inexperienced
teachers, came into the classroom to observe me, the students exhibited very little good behavior to praise.
My boss sat in the back of the room. The boys in the class were making animal noises, hitting each other while
the girls filed their nails or read magazines. I just pretended it all wasn’t happening, and went on lecturing and tried
to ask some inspiring questions. My boss, sitting in the back of the room, seemed to be growing bigger and bigger.
After twenty minutes he left, silently. Visions of unemployment marched before my eyes. I felt mildly victorious
that I got through the rest of class without crying, but at my next free period I had to face him.
