一、阅读理解Passage 1 During the COVID-19 outbreak in the UK, misinformation has fueled the spread of fear. Some people might fail to tell facts from rumors, so improving the public's health knowledge is a vital step to help people take the right protective measures and avert unnecessary panic. As the battle against the epidemic continues, some people may be in a state of panic to some extent because they are not aware that there are effective preventive and protective measures they can take. So it is urgent that people's public health awareness should be raised. The education authorities have strengthened science popularization, especially among teenagers. For example, some primary and middle schools have emphasized scientific education, and they invite medical professionals to teach students about the scientific protective measures they should adopt. Governmental departments really make a big difference. They have carried out projects to popularize health knowledge and encouraged people to participate in the improvement of the public scientific literacy. Since the improvement of public scientific literacy is of great significance and concern, medical and healthcare departments also have learned the lessons of this epidemic and continue to build well-established and professional teams. Relevant science and technology institutions also take the responsibility to innovate measures and set up systems to carry out a health-awareness activity to make more people aware of the benefits of scientific preventive and protective measures. Keeping the public informed of scientific public health knowledge in a timely manner will help prevent public panic and contribute to the prevention of public health crises.

Passage 2 Oliver, CTO of a high-tech company, loved to participate in all conversations, regardless of topic. He was often the first to raise his hand for a project, appeared to have infinite capacity to get high-quality work done, and offered to assist his colleagues. Oliver seemed to be all-in, optimistic, energetic, supportive, and someone who constituted everyone. However, the more Oliver participated, the more others around him were frustrated. Instead of sparking creatively in others, his ideas surpassed everyone else’s. He consumed time speaking in meetings, exhausting the oxygen level in the room. Oliver felt encouraged when his own ideas were adopted but frustrated by others’ lack of sufficient effort. While the CEO appreciated Oliver’s yield, she recognized he had to change his approach to keep the rest of the team productive. Instead of improving his relationships with colleagues, Oliver robbed them of fulfillment by offering masses of ideas. They felt discouraged, interrupted, and excluded. To fix the issue, Oliver learned the value of asking two specific questions before offering his own ideas: “What have you thought of ?” and “What would be the most helpful for you at this point?” When we over-participate, we believe that we're being helpful. However, “helpfulness” is defined by the recipient, not the giver. Surveying others’ need can decide on the best way to contribute: directly through our ideas, through coaching colleagues to create their own, or by building on what someone else has generated.

Passage 4 Throughout history, people have been traders. In the early 1800s, a group of trappers called “mountain men” would venture into mountains for days and weeks at a time. They’d return with animal furs that people could use for clothing. At an event called a “rendezvous”, the mountain men would trade the furs with people who lived nearby. When the rendezvous was over, the mountain men would go back into the wild to collect more furs. At the annual Trappers’ Rendezvous, an event hosted in Kansas, hundreds of children gather for a weekend of exciting activities. One of the highlights is trading, of course. At most camps, trading is just a side activity. The Trappers’ Rendezvous also features a series of stations where children can practice skills that can be applied to the old days of the mountain men or to a modern campout. They learn how to start fires without matches, and how to throw tomahawks (战斧) at wooden targets, “I had never thrown a tomahawk before,” says Jaden Bernard, 12. “You have to learn how to hold it and how hard to throw it. I had one bounce right off the target.” Throughout the event, participants also learn about rea-life mountain men. Adults dressed in period clothing are available to tell old adventure stories. Take, for example, Hugh Glass, a mountain man who was attacked , finally made his way to safety over the next six weeks. “It takes you back in time to how they had to hunt, how they built their shelters and how things happened back then,” 14-year-old Chris Cooper says.

二、完形填空If you took the strengths of others, and compared them to your weaknesses, do you think this would make you feel good? The funny thing is that this is 21 most of us do at one time or another—and some of us do it pretty 22 . It’s surely not a good 23 for building self-confidence. Let’s say I take a look at someone 24 creates amazing artwork on their website and I look at my art, and realize I don’t come close to being matched with him. In fact, I look pretty 25 . But it’s not a fair 26 . If I looked at my strengths—writing useful and honest posts—I can see that I have a lot to 27 , a lot to be happy about. That’s so important—being able to look at your own strengths, and see your true 28 . It’s actually one of the keys to success and happiness. I want to talk about this issue 29 an email from a reader recently: I have some teammates from very rich families, and I can’t stop myself 30 mine with theirs. I must say that my financial planning is sound enough to 31 of my family; and I can also look after new family members, at least for some time 32 I lose my current job. But 33 I see or hear them spending so much money on entertainment, I start comparing again. How can I stop this habit, without changing jobs? This is an excellent but tough 34 . I think it’s 35 to compare ourselves to others, but it often makes us unhappy even if we have enough and should be 36 what we have. My quick 37 : try to be aware of when you start comparing yourself to others. Once you’ve developed this 38 , stop yourself and tell yourself, “Stop that!” And then 39 thinking about all the things you do have, the things you love, the people you have and the blessings that 40 has given you. Make this a regular practice, and you’ ll start to be happier with your life.

三、判断正误If you can speak English, you know a lot of English words. You can read, speak and understand. But there is another kind of language you need to know — the language of the body, a part of which is called non-verbal communication. All over the world, people “talk” with body language. When Japanese people meet, they put their hands together. What do American and British do? Americans are more informal than the British. They like to be friendly. They use first name, they ask questions and they talk easily about themselves. When they sit down, they like to relax in their chairs and make themselves comfortable. British people are more quiet. They take more time to make friends. They like to know you before they ask you home. When British and American people meet someone for the first time, they shake hands. They do not usually shake hands with people they know well. Women sometimes kiss their women friends, and men kiss women friends (on one cheek only). When a man meets a man friend, he just smiles, and says “Hello”. Men do not kiss each other. Even fathers and sons do not often kiss each other.
