Don’t shake hands! Don’t hug anyone! 3 1 order to slow the spread of COVID-19, we’re advised
to avoid physical contact（接触） as 32 as possible. Some of us have been 33 to more
creative ways of greeting one another, such as a friendly wave from two meters away. We are not sure
when this pandemic（流行病） will end. But 34 more people get their vaccines（疫苗）, we may
soon be able to get back to hugging, shaking hands ans kissing cheeks. But ... should we?
We are 3 5 from a young age that it is impolite not to shake hands when we meet people. But
Ashley Peterson, a doctor in the United States, thinks we should be more careful about how we greet
people. Not 3 6 likes to be hugged.
Peterson says now is the perfect time for parents to guide their kids in making 3 7 about how to
greet people. The idea is not to 38 hugs and handshakes. If your kids want to hug others, they
should. If they feel 3 9 about hugging, they can use other ways to greet people.
Anthony Fauci, a health educator, holds a stronger opinion. He thinks we should never shake hands
again. “We’ve got to 40 that custom,” he says. “That is really one of the major（主要的） ways
to pass on an illness.”

Dear Jason,
Hello! I’m very fat. I want to lose weight. I run five kilometers every day, but it hasn’t worked at all.
I feel upset. Now I don’t know how to lose weight. Could you help me?
Tina
Dear Tina,
In fact, exercise is just one way to lose weight. Even if you exercise every day, you might not lose
weight. That’s because eating healthily is much more important. After you exercise, if you take in lots of
food, especially foods with a lot of protein（蛋白质）, you will still put on weight. So pay more attention
to your eating. This will help you lose weight more easily.
But please ask yourself: Do I really need to lose weight? The truth is that everyone has a different
body type. Big is beautiful, too. You’ll find happiness when you learn to accept yourself for who you are.
Jason
41. The reading materials above are two ______.

A. she has no time to exercise

C. running isn’t helping her lose weight
D. her parents ask her not to lose weight
44. What does Jason think about Tina’s problem?
A. She should stop running.
B. She can take some medicine.
C. She needs to take in more protein.
D. She should pay more attention to her eating.

Fan Shenghua, is one of the inheritors（继承人） of West Lake Longjing tea roasting technique（炒茶
技艺）. He has been making Longjing tea for more than forty years.
Longjing tea leaves are famous for their color, taste and shape.
“You have to touch the leaves with your hands to feel how much water is being removed（去除）,”
Fan said. “If too much is removed, the leaves will break into pieces; if not enough is removed, the tea
will taste bitter（苦的）.”
This traditional technique dates back to the Ming and Qing dynasties. It not only makes the tea tastegood, but has also become an important part of Chinese tea culture.
These days, however, more people are using machines to do the job. “It’s easier, but the quality is
not as good,” Fan said. “Machine-made tea floats longer in water and tastes bitter.”
In March this year, when President Xi Jinping visited Hangzhou, he watched Fan roast tea. Fan
changed the strength and movement of his hands as he roasted leaves. Xi later said, “The things made by
two palms（手掌） connot be replaced by modern technology.”
Fan is now teaching some young men. His son, a 27-year-old college graduate, is one of them. “It’s a
tradition. We need to pass it down,” he said.
46. According to Paragraph 3, what will happen to tea leaves if they have too much water?
A. They will go bad quickly. B. They will break into pieces.
C. They will lose their fresh taste. D. They will have a bitter taste.
47. What does the underlined part “this traditional technique” refer to?
A. Picking tea leaves. B. Roasting tea leaves by hand.
C. Drinking tea in a traditional way. D. Growing tea plants on the mountains.
48. What does Fan think of making tea by machine?
A. It is easier than by hand. B. It has a long history in China.
C. It makes tea taste better and better. D. It becomes an important part of tea culture.
49. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Fan’s son studies tea culture in college.
B. Fan will open his own tea houses in China.
C. Fan’s son is learning the tea roasting technique.
D. Fan is making this technique popular worldwide.
50. What does the passage mainly want to tell us?

C. How tea is packed and sent to many different countries.
D. Sometimes only by hand can we make the best of the things.
C
You may have heard the saying “The Yangtze River is China’s mother river.” It is almost 6,400
kilometers long. As the world’s third-longest river, it covers one-fifth of China’s land area. The Yangtze
River Economic Zone（长江经济带） covers eleven provinces and cities, masking up about forty percent of
China’s total population and GCP.
On December 26, China passed the Yangtze River Protection Law, which came into force on March 1,
2021. It is the first law to protect a waterway in China.
The mother river is in great need of protection because something is wrong with it. For example,
because of overfishing and water pollution, the river’s Chinese paddlefish has died out there. There’s also
desertified land and soil pollution near the river.
According to the law, fishing will not be allowed in all of the Yangtze’s natural waterways, including
its major tributaries（支流） and lakes. Those who are caught fishing will be fined（罚款） 50,000 to500,000 yuan.
Digging sand will be strictly limited（限制） in the river. Many companies are digging sand along the
river. However, this has led to lower water levels on the river, which has caused the river’s water to
decline.
Companies and factories along the river will need to focus on green development. If their activities do
harm to the waterways, they will be moved away, the law say.
51. What does the first paragraph tell us about the Yangtze River?
A. How old it is. B. Why it’s important.
C. What problems it has. D. Where it joins the sea.
52. What do we know about the Yangtze River Protection Law?
A. It was passed on March 1, 2021
B. It came into force about ten years ago.
C. It has increased the population of the area.
D. It’s the first law to protect a waterway in China.
53. What does Paragraph 3 explain?
A. Why the river needs protection. B. How the river is being polluted.
C. When Chinese paddlefish died out. D. How the river will be protected.
54. What does the underlined word “decline” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Disappear. B. Become worse. C. Be hard to test. D. Be easy to
control.
55. According to the passage, which is true about protecting the river?
A. People can’t fish in the river’s major tributaries.
B. Digging sand will not be allowed in the river anymore.
C. Companies along the river will be moved to other places.
D. Anyone who causes pollution will be fined at least 50,000 yuan.

For a long time, it’s been discussed whether students should be allowed to watch TV during the week.
I am here to say yes. 5 6
After a little bit of careful thinking, parents will realize that watching TV after school is a good way
for students to relax. 57 We not only have more homework, but also have many other things to do
after school. There is tutoring（课外辅导）, sports clubs and so on. When we get home, we are tired. All
we really want to do is to give our brains a break.

hundred programs to choose from. In one hour, we can learn about ancient Egypt and planets traveling
around other stars. TV can be educational. 5 9
Lastly, today’s students use TV watching as a prize for finishing their homework. Television does not
keep us from our homework. Instead, it encourages us to do it. 6 0
So, students should be allowed to watch TV on school nights. Do you agree with me?A. It shows us more things than textbook can.
B. Parents also remember what TV was like in the old days.
C. Television is not the enemy, old ideas are!
D. This is totally different from the way our parents used television.
E. Our lives are busier than our parents’ when they went to school.
