A
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.
cation.
C.Tourism
D.Career.
B
Imagine turning on the GPS and seeing an image of your car from above. As the car drives, the map follows along in real time, alarming you to any traffic, pedestrians,animals, or other things nearby. Routes and names of roads appear over the live stream. It's like the map has come to life.
This type of map isn't available yet. But it could be soon. In 2014, the Worldview-3 satellites was launched into space. Even though it orbits Earth at more than 370 miles（600 km）away, it can capture images of objects on Earth that are just 10 inches（25cm）across.Peeringall the way from outer space, it can make out a smartphone held in your hand. It can tell what types of cars are traveling down a road. But it can't identify your face or read the cars' license plate numbers . . . at least not openly.
According to some reports, this satellite and other US spy satellites have the technology to take even sharper images, with a resolution（分辨率）of up to around 4 inches（10cm）. ButUS law forbids making these super-sharp pictures public, to prevent enemies from using them. But the idea that anybody might be able to spy on the entire Earth in such detail may seem horrible. Live, high-detail satellite mapping could possibly be used to monitor anybody at any time. Ray Purdy of University College London told CNN that he is concerned about what this could mean for privacy. Most satellites are commercially owned, so if you have money you can buy that imagery. “It means anyone can spy on anyone,” he said.
At the same time, live, detailed maps of Earth's surface could be useful in amazing ways. Live maps of a disaster area could quickly discover people in need of rescue as well as the safest routes in or out. Satellite images are already helping catch illegal logging and fishing operations. Higher detail may make it possible to catch other criminals in the act. The images could also make it easier for farmers to watch over their crops.
What do you think? Do you wish everyone could access high-detail live maps of Earth's surface?
4. What does the underlined word in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Seeing
B. Standing
C. Walking
D. Hearing
5. Why does US law forbid making super-sharp pictures public?
A. to protect the technology.
B. for the sake of safety.
C. to protect the environment.
D. to threat other countries.
6. Which of the following statements is true according to the text?
A. This super-sharp map hasn't been put into market.
B. Worldview-3 satellites orbits the Earth at 370 km away.
C. Personal privacy is safely protected if you use the super-sharp map.
D. The super-sharp map should be completely forbidden.
7. How is this technology used in agriculture?
A. It can help improve the production of crops.
B. It can help kill pests.
C. It can help farmer to watch over their crops from far away.
D. It can help increase farm land.
C
A Bridge Linking Art and the Audience
According to a 2018 report, people aged between 16 and 24 make up about 15 percent of the population but only 10 percent of museum-goers. Similarly, people aged over35 go half as much as you would expect from their population size. We have reached the point of recognising the disconnection between art and the audience but haven’t yet determined how to bridge the gap. Two answers to tackling this challenge lie in telling a greater diversity of art histories and communicating these stories in more accessible ways.
In 2018, a radio program called Art Matters was started with the aim of discussing art from a pop-culture viewpoint with topics that would engage younger and more diverse audience. It offers an accessible pathway to art history with conversations on different topics. Art history is about storytelling; art content shines when there is an effort to bring audience along for the discussion.
More traditional institutions are paying attention. Recently theGettyMuseumissued a social-media challenge for people to recreate paintings using items they had at home. Users displayed incredible creativity, and the museum was flooded with submissions. This reaction proves that there is a potential desire for the audience to engage with art topics if the format is appealing. Since many people feelintimidatedand think that there’s a base level of understanding required to join the conversation, the Getty initiative serves as a reminder that there are many pathways to engaging with it.
Another result of the Getty challenge was the exposure given to a diversity of artworks. The famous opera singer Peter Brathwaite, for example, made scores of attractive recreations highlighting centuries of black paintings. His efforts opposed the idea that there were not many historical paintings of black figures. It is
extremely important that we do a better job of showing the complex and diverse stories that are represented in art.
Social media have offered a platform for people who have not traditionally had a seat at the table. Anyone can recognise a gap in the field and address it. Accounts have gathered tens of thousands of followers. They are the proof that there is hunger to hear these art histories, and these themes work brilliantly for museum programming.
But there is only so much that can be done without the museums and galleries changing meaningfully from within. We need to see a better balance of these stories represented in permanent collections. We also need a much wider diversity of people and interests represented on board. Ensuring that art-and writing and talking about art-is able to continue on the rising generation of storytellers, inside and outside of institutions, getting the funding and support they need to paint a brighter picture for the part.
8. What challenge is the author trying to tackle?
A. People doubt a great diversity of artworks.
B. Fewer and fewer young people go to museums.
C. Art appears too distant from common audience.
D. Adult audience has a different understanding of art.
9. What does the underlined word “intimidated” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Tired.
B. Worried.
C. Annoyed.
D. Surprised.
10. In the author’s opinion, the museums and galleries should ________.
A. make the art history stories accessible in a traditional way.
B. change meaningfully for activities like the Getty challenge.
C. limit the number of storytellers both in and out of institutions.
D. improve the permanent collections by adding famous artworks.
11. We can conclude from the passage that common audience ________.
A. lacks the channels to understand and talk about art history.
B. prefers to view artworks and hear art stories on social media.
C. feels satisfied with people and interests represented on board.
D. refuses to engage with diverse art topics and art history stories.
D

When leaders from the European Council gathered for a group photo in Brussels last week, it was hard to miss the class newbie._______41._______(stand) front and center among the neat rows of middle-aged men was Finland’s new prime minister – 34-year-old Sanna Marin. The young woman had a huge smile on her face. And why not,______42.______her trailblazing new status as the world’s youngest sitting prime minister.
The former transport minister shot to worldwide fame earlier this month after the leader of her Social Democratic Party stepped down. She now heads Finland’s governing coalition of five parties, all of_____43._____have female leaders, and almost all under the age of 35. It’s a remarkable line-up: the country’s leaders have traditionally been______44.______(old) men. Marin’s youth and gender “make her stand out from her predecessors, who for the most part have been males in______45.______50s,” said Timo Miettinen, researcher at Helsinki University’s Department of Political and Economic Studies.
Finland was the first country in the world_____46._____(elect) women to parliament, a little over a century ago. In that time, there have been just two female prime ministers before Marin, each______47.______(serve) for no longer than a year.

Every time I look at Tim’s result paper that I have stuck on the wall, I remember how arrogant (傲慢的)Ⅰwas about my cleverness, and I feel ashamed. I was proud of myself for passing all my math tests. I was the best in class at math and had never scored less than ninety marks. There was another boy in my class named Tim. He had never been able to keep up with the rest of the class or pass any test we had. We always called him “Stupid” or “No Brains”. Little did I know he was going to show me who the real “No Brains” was.
One day, we got our latest math test paper back. As expected, I got full marks, and Tim failed as usual. My teacher, Mr Yap, did not scold him for failing, but praised him and told him he could do better next time. That day I could not hold back what I wanted to say any more. I stood up and called out, “Why are you praising him, Sir? He has always been failing his math. Shouldn’t you blame him?” The whole class turned to look at me, and Mr Yap, with a very angry face, told me in an icy cold voice, “David, meet me during break time in my office.” I knew I was in deep trouble and now had to face it.
I knocked at the staff room door. When I went in, Mr Yap told me to take a seat. I was puzzled. “Isn’t he going to scold me?” I wondered. He said, “The reason I am not blaming you is that Tim told me not to.” “But I have been rude to him all the time!” I was very surprised. “He actually has a reason why he cannot pass his tests. It started ten years ago. His father passed away when he was only two years old. Now he is big enough to help his mother with chores (家务) and serve at her food store. He has little time to study,” Mr Yap explained.

1.续写的词数应为150左右；
