The COVID -19 pandemic has affected all aspects of life, including the way we travel. But for those who are looking to expand their horizons while still staying safe, the following three travel trends in 2021 may provide inspirations. Let’s take a look.

Staycation

With many travel restrictions during the pandemic, people preferred traveling to nearby places in 2020. This trend continues in 2021. According to search data, 62 percent of people are interested in taking a vacation within driving distance of home. People who live in large cities want to get back in touch with nature. Travelers are looking for places different from their everyday accommodations, for example, farm stays, villas and cottages.

Pod travel

While 2020 saw a rise in solo travel and isolated adventures, 2021 shows that people want to be more connected. “Pod travel”, or gathering in isolated spaces with loved ones, is growing in popularity. 85 percent of survey respondents favor traveling with family or friends, and over half of the trips searched include three or more people. Pod travel is here to stay for those who want to safely be together while reducing risks associated with socializing with others.

Remote working and traveling

Many people worked and learned from home in 2020 because of the pandemic. Remote working blurs the line between working and traveling. There was a 128 percent increase in the mention of phrases such as “relocation”, “relocate”, “remote work” and “trying a new neighborhood”. People are actively booking longer stays (e. g. two plus week trips) in small to mid—size cities with access to immersive natural surroundings and wide—open spaces.

1.What can we learn about Staycation?

A.Travelling to the countryside. B.Taking an isolated adventure. CHaving holidays in nearby places. D.Staying indoors all by oneself. 2.What’s special about Pod travel?

A.Traveling alone. B.Traveling far away.

C.Traveling while working. D.Traveling with loved ones. 3.Where might we find the text in a magazine? A.Medicine. B.Education. C.Tourism D.Career.

About 12 years ago, Sandy Cambron noticed her mother, Pearl Walker, had become quiet after she moved into a nursing home for patients of Alzheimer's disease inKentucky.

“We tried everything — photos, old stories — but nothing worked,” she said. “It was really hard for everyone to see how she had changed.” Then one day whileSandywas in a toy store, she had an idea: Why not givePearla baby doll so she could feel as if she were caring for something again? And why not give one to all the other care center seniors?

As soon asSandygavePearlthe doll, her mother's face lit up. “She started talking again and she never went anywhere without that baby,”Sandysaid. “She took 'baby' to the dining room with her and slept with her in her arms every night. When she passed away a year later, we even buried her with that well-loved baby doll.”

In the following 10 years, Sandy and her husband, Wayne Cambron, continued to buy dolls and hand them out to the elderly of care centers near their home every New Year. Now Pearl's Memory Babies is anonprofit (非营利) organization that has contributed more than 300 dolls to old people with Alzheimer's disease at nursing homes since February 2018.

Last year,Sandyposted New Year’s photos on Facebook, all of which are about seniors reacting to dolls thatshe and Wayne sent to a local nursing home. The post was shared more than 210,000 times overnight. People gave almost $15,000 online. That helped the group buy many dolls.

“The dolls offer treatment and comfort,” said Elise Hinchman, who works at a care center inKentucky, \"Some seniors cry when they get a doll. And they always rock and talk to their dolls. People with Alzheimer might lose their memories, but they don't lose their ability to love.” 4. How did Pearl change after she moved to a nursing home? A. She hardly talked. B. She lost hope in life. C. She felt bored. D. She forgot everything. 5. How didPearlreact after receiving the doll?

6. What's paragraph 5 mainly about?

Good News for Alzheimer's Patients B. How to Remove Alzheimer's Disease C. Baby Dolls Cheer up Alzheimer's Patients D. Daughter Helps Mother Recover Memory

After almost an entire year of not going shopping and vacationing, you find the numbers reflected by your bank account meet your heart's desire.

Now the most important question comes, what to do with the earnings? Should you fulfill dreams of the present, invest in preserving the future or perhaps keep saving it for a rainy day?

Our elders always try to teach us the value of money and its moral weakness. One may be on a winning streak(连续成功)now,but it will not always be so. One will have days when there will be no sunshine but only rain. and their luck will hide behind those thick grey clouds. Save for those rainy days,they say.Do not spend too much,live within a budget,refrain fromcredit no matter how small and save for the future.

Since the very first time we earn our own money from a summer job or earning our first salary, the lessons start. In fact, the pocket money that we receive when we are children begins the process of learning how to best manage one's money.

People often think like this-one day when I have enough money, I will travel the world. Then, once we do earn enough money, tomorrow's plans start shadowing our present ones. However, is it wise to keep living for that future? Will we still enjoy or even be able to backpack in -our 50s? How will we ever enjoy our present if we are constantly living for the future?

Good questions, aren't they? 1 say travel but don' t let yourself run dry, treat yourself to some luxuries but also keep enough for your necessities, and enjoy your present but with a plan for the foreseeable future.Life is for the living. so live it sensibly.

8. Why do elders teach us to save money? A. Because there are more rainy days in life. B. Because no one can win streak.

C. Because good days may end. D. Because money can't buy everything.

9. What does the underlined phrase \"“refrain from\" mean in Paragraph 3?

A. select from B. hold back C. rely on D. prefer to 10. What can we infer from the passage? A. We should enjoy ourselves at the right time.

B. We should wait to travel until we have enough money. C. We should live for the future no matter what.

D. We should enjoy ourselves to the fullest when we have money. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Money is something but not everything. B. One should save for rainy days.

C. Live in the moment before you live for the future. D. Live the present wisely for your life.

Dengue is a very painful illness spread by mosquitoes. In severe cases, dengue can even be deadly. Dengue is a serious disease affecting people in around 120 countries. It can cause high fevers, headaches, and severe pain. It’s caused by a virus spread by bites from mosquitoes. Therefore, dengue is more common in warm areas. Every year, roughly 390 million people get dengue, and as many as 25,000 die from it.

Now scientists seem to have found a way to protect humans from dengue by first protecting mosquitoes. Dengue fever is caused by a virus. Though it may seem strange to think of it this way, the mosquitoes that spread the dengue virus are also infected with it. But the virus doesn’t seem to hurt the mosquitoes.

Wolbachia is a kind of bacteria commonly found in many insects. In some insects, Wolbachia can keep some viruses fromduplicatingthemselves, which is how viruses grow inside a body. Wolbachia isn’t naturally found in mosquitoes. But by infecting these mosquitoes with Wolbachia, scientists can keep the mosquitoes from catching the dengue virus. Even better, the young mosquitoes coming from the eggs of the infected mosquitoes also carry Wolbachia.

Researchers working with the World Mosquito Program (WMP) ran a 27-month study in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. They split a 10-square-mile area up into 24 smaller areas. In half of the areas, the scientists did nothing. In the other half, they set out containers of eggs from mosquitoes that had Wolbachia. They did this every two

weeks for just 4 to 6 months.

Ten months later, 80% of the mosquitoes in the treated areas carried Wolbachia. The researchers report the number of dengue cases in the treated areas was reduced by 77% and that the number of people needing hospital care for dengue dropped by 86%.

Because the results of the experiment were so good, the WHO has placed Wolbachia-infected mosquito eggs in all parts of Yogyakarta and surrounding areas. The WHO says that within a year, their efforts will protect 2.5 million people against dengue and that their efforts will be turned into a program that can be repeated worldwide. 12. What kind of disease is dengue?

A. It is likely to cause death. B. It causes no pain but fevers.

C. It happens less often in hot areas. D. It hurts both people and mosquitoes. 13. The underlined word “duplicating” in paragraph 3 most probably means “________”. A. worsening the harm of B. expanding the size of C. increasing forces of D. making copies of

14. What can be inferred about the method from the figures listed in paragraph 5?

A. Its wide use. B. Its effectiveness. C. Its complexity. D.Its easy operation.

15. What’s the WHO’s attitude towards the method?

A. Ambiguous. B. Positive. C. Tolerant. D. Skeptical. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项

When germs, such as bacteria or viruses, invade the body, they attack and multiply. 36 The immune system uses several tools to fight infection(感染). Blood contains red blood cells, for carrying oxygen to tissues and organs, and white or immune cells, for fighting infection. These white cells consist primarily of macrophages(巨噬细胞), B cells and T cells.

Macrophages swallow up and digest germs, plus dead and dying cells. They leave behind parts of the invading germs called antigens(抗原). 37 B cells are defensive white blood cells which produce antibodies. T cells are also defensive white blood cells. They attack cells in the body that have already been infected.

The first time the body comes across a germ, it can take several days to make and use all the germ fighting tools needed to get over the infection. After the infection, the immune system remembers what is learned about how to protect the body against that disease.

38 They help develop immunity by imitating an infection. This type of infection, however, almost never causes illness, but it does cause the immune system to produce T cells and antibodies. Sometimes, after getting a vaccine(疫苗), the imitation infection can cause minor symptoms. For instance, a fever. 39

Once the imitation infection goes away, the body is left with a supply of defensive cells that will remember how to find that disease in the future. 40 Therefore, itis possible that a person infected with the disease just before or just after vaccination could develop symptoms and get a disease, because the vaccine has not had enough time to provide protection.

A. Vaccines basically work the same way.

B. This invasion, called an infection, is what causes illness. C. Vaccines prevent diseases that can be dangerous, or even deadly D. Scientists take many different approaches to developing vaccines. E. The body identifies them as dangers and excites antibodies to attack them.

F. Such minor symptoms are normal and should be expected as the body builds immunity.

G. However, it typically takes a few weeks for the body to produce those defensive cells after vaccination. 第二部分 语言运用(共两节,满分45分)

Because most of our classes are in the same classroom in China, so we put our things in desk. But in America students go to certain classrooms for certain classes. Everyone puts things in lockers. When I enter the classroom, a boy invited us to sit with him. He became my first friend at school and I wasn't nervous no more.

52.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words.Use your own words as far as possible.

Have you ever heard your own voice played back? Other people hear us differently from how we hear ourselves.The same is true of how we see ourselves.Each of us has a different self-concept. Our self-concept is the view you have of yourself. It may or may not mirror the way other people view you. This much is clear. Having a

positive self-concept is an important part of good mental health.

Your self-concept starts forming when you are very young. Parents or guardians are the first and greatest influence. How they speak to you and treat you have a lasting effect. Grandparents sisters, brothers, and s have an effect too.Your skills and abilities also shape your self-concept. You may see yourself as a good basketball player or a good singer.You may feel you are good at writing stories but average in math. How you view your talents and abilities influences your overall self-concept.

Developing a positive self-concept is an important part of emotional health.Focus on your strengths rather than your weaknesses. When you focus on your weaknesses, you may begin to feel that you are not good at anything. Instead, identify what you do well and what you enjoy doing This will help you develop a positive self-concept. Seeing yourself in a positive way will help you feel good about yourself.

Family members, friends, and teachers reinforce,or support your self-concept through messages. Some of the messages from people around you are spoken or written. Others take the form of looks or gestures.\"Way to go!\" is an example of a positive word message.You may think you did well on a school project. Having your Parent or teacher tell you that you did a good job reinforces your belief.Keep in mind that sending positive messages is a two-way street. When you support others, they are likely to support you, too.
