You could collect kinds of stamps, or you could collect things that make you remember what you have done, like cinema tickets for films you have seen or letters from friends.

Preparations for the Tokyo Olympics have suffered another challenge after a survey found that 60% of people in Japan want them to be cancelled,less than three months before the Games are scheduled to open.
Japan has extended a state of emergency in Tokyo and several other regions until the end of May as it struggles to control a fast increase in COVID-19 cases caused by new, more catching variants（变异体）with medical staff warning that health services in some areas are on the edge of breaking down.
The Olympics, which were delayed by a year due to the pandemic, are set to open on 23 July, with the International Olympic Committee（IOC）and organizers insisting that measures will be put in place to ensure the safety of athletes and other visitors, as well as a nervous Japanese public.
The survey, conducted between 7 and 9 May by the conservative Yomiuri Shimbun, showed 60% wanted the Games cancelled as opposed to 39% who said they should be held. “Postponement” — an option abandoned by the IOC — was not offered as a choice.
Of those who said the Olympics should go ahead, 23% said they should take place without audience. Foreign audience have been banned but a final decision on native attendance will be made in June.
Another poll conducted at the weekend by TBS News found 65% wanted the Games cancelled or postponed again, with 37% voting to give up the event altogether and 28% calling for another delay. A similar poll in April conducted by Kyodo news agency found 70% wanted the Olympics cancelled or postponed.
The IOC's vice president, John Coates, said that while Japanese sentiment about the Games “was a concern”, he could foresee no situation under which the sporting events would not go ahead.
4. How many Japanese wish the Olympics would not be held in Tokyo according to the survey?

Shanghairesidents passing through the city’s eastern Huangpu district in Octobermight have astonished at an unusual sight: a “walking” building. An 85-year-old primary school has been lifted off the ground in its entirety and relocated using new technology named the “walking” machine.
In the city’s latest effort to preserve historic structures, engineers used nearly 200 mobile supports under the five-story building. The supports act like robotic legs. They’re split into two groups which in turns rise up and down, imitating the human step. Attached sensors help control how the building moves forward.
TheLagenaPrimary School, which weighs 7,600 tons, faced a new challenge — it’s T-shaped, while previously relocated structures were square or rectangular. Experts and technicians met to discuss possibilities and test a number of different technologies before deciding on the “walking machine”.
Over the course of 18 days, the building was rotated 21degrees and moved 62 meters away to its new location. The old school building is set to become a center for heritage protection and cultural protection. The project marks the first time this “walking machine” method has been used inShanghaito relocate a historical building.
In recent years,China’s rapid modernization has seen many historic buildingsrazedto clear land for skyscrapers and office buildings. But there has been growing concern about the architectural heritage loss as a result of destruction across the country.
Shanghaihas beenChina’s most progressive city when it comes to heritage preservation. The survival of a number of 1930s buildings in the famous Bund district and 19th-century “Shikumen” houses in the repaired Xintiandi neighborhood has offered examples of how to give old buildings new life. The city also has a track record of relocating old buildings. In 2018, the city relocated a 90-year-old building in Hongkou district, which was then considered to beShanghai’s most complex relocation project to date.
8. How did the primary school get moved?
A. By reducing the weight of it.
B. By using movable supports.
C. By dividing it into several parts.
D. By using robotic legs.
9. What does the underlined word “razed” probably mean in Paragraph 5?
A. Replaced.
B. Burnt.
C. Protected.
D. Destroyed.
10. What can we infer about the heritage preservation inChina?
A. The use of advanced technology leads to growing concern.
B. Shanghai is the pioneer in preserving architectural heritage.
C.A number of old buildings have been given new life.
D. Many historic buildings will be relocated.
11. What is the passage mainly about?

Most teenagers are still trying to find their passion and purposes in life. However, not Gitanjali Rao. The 15-year-old girl has been coming up with innovative solutions to worldwide problems since she was ten. It is, therefore, not surprising that the teenager has won the honor of “America's Top Young Scientist”.
In the third grade, Rao was inspired to build a device after witnessing the shocking story unfold in Flint, Michigan, where cost-cutting measures led to the use of a polluted river as the city's primary water supply and incredibly high levels of lead made their way into people's drinking water.
After two months' research, Rao designed a small and portable device that used sensors to instantly detect lead in water. Called Tethys, after the Greek Goddess(女神) of freshwater, it attaches to a cellphone and informs the residents via an app if their drinking water contains lead. The design earned her the 3M Young Scientist Challenge in 2017. She is currently working with scientists and medical professionals to test Tethys' potential and hopes the device will be ready for commercial use by 2022.
Later, Rao took on another social issue-drug addiction. Her app, called Epione, which won the Health Pillar Prize at the TCS Ignite Innovation Student Challenge in May 2019, is designed to catch drug addiction in young adults before it's too late.
More recently, the teenager has developed an app named Kindly, which usesartificial intelligence technology to detect possible signs of cyberbullying(网上欺凌). When users type in a word or phrase, Kindly is able to pick it up if it's bullying, and then it gives the option to edit it or send it the way it is. It gives them the chance to rethink
what they are saying so that they know what to do next time.
All kinds of awesome, Gitanjali Rao has been selected from 5,000 equally impressive nominees(被提名人) for TIME Magazine's first-ever “Kid of the Year”.
12. What gave Rao the idea of inventing the device Tethys?
A. The incident of lead pollution.
B. The issue with drug addiction.
C. The shortage of water supplies.
D. The high cost of purifying water.
13. What is Rao expecting of Tethys?
A. It'll remove metal from water.
B. It'll make it to market soon.
C. It'll win her a higher prize.
D. It'll be fitted to cellphones.
14. What will Kindly allow users to do?
A. Receive pre-warning signals of threat.
B. Input words into a computer automatically.
C. Choose from secure social networking sites.
D. Weigh their words before posting them online.
15. Which of the following can best describe Gitanjali Rao as a young scientist?
A. Ambitious and humble.
B. Optimistic and adventurous.
C. Talkative and outstanding.
D. Creative and productive.

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Think “art”. What comes to your mind? Is it sculptures in the Louvre, or Chinese painting in thePalaceMuseum? Or maybe, just maybe, it’s a dancing pattern of lights?
The artworks by American artist Janet Echelman look like color1 ful floating clouds when lit up at night. Visitors can not only enjoy looking at them, they can also interact with them — literally.
___16___Exhibits such as these are certainly new and exciting, but are they really art?
Whatever your opinion, people have been expressing their thoughts through art with various tools and technologies for thousands of years. Yet Michelangelo and others have been labelled as “artists” rather than
“technicians”.___17___
Today, however, technological advances have led to a combination of art and technology. As a result, the art world is changing greatly.____18____Take for example one ofChina’s most famous paintings, Along the River During the Qingming Festival. As this artwork is rarely on display, people have sometimes queued a long time for a chance to see it. Thanks to technology however, millions more people have been able to experience a digital version of it with 3D animation.
___19___Not only can we interact with art, but also take part in its creation. With new technological tools at our fingertips, more and more people have created exciting new art forms, such as digital paintings and videos.
However, such developments are making the line between art and technology less distinct. Is the artist the creator of the art itself, or the maker of the technology behind it?
___20___But one thing is for sure—with so many artists exploring new possibilities, we can definitely expect the unexpected.
A. Now art is more accessible to us than ever before.
B. Where technology will take art next is anyone’s guess.
C. It’s not important whether they are artists or technicians.
D. They do this by using their phones to change their color1 s and patterns.
E. They watch as the different scenes change from daylight into nighttime.
F. The art-tech combination is also changing our concepts of “art” and the “artist”.
G. This means that art and technology have always been seen as two very separate things.

It was an evening just like any other in the Miller family apartment. Mr. and Mrs. Miller were tired from
working all day and the children were busy playing on tablets (平板电脑).
“Mum, can you play a game with me now?” said Amy, "Dad, do you want to play battleships?” asked Ben.
Suddenly, the lights went off. The apartment went completely dark. "Oh no! We have lost all our electricity," cried Mr. Miller. "There must be a power cut in the city, " said Mrs. Miller.
"Is everybody okay?” asked Mr. Miller. "Yes, I'm okay," said Amy. "Wow!
It's so dark in here," said Ben. "I've never seen our house like this before."
Mr. Miller picked up his torch (手电筒) and turned it on. But there was only a small beam of light.
"Oh no!” complained Mr. Miller. "The batteries in this torch are not very good. I don't know how long this torchlight will last. " The Miller family looked out of their apartment window. Mrs. Miller pointed at the sky. "Look at all the stars. " “Wow! I can see so many," said Ben.
Then Mrs. Miller wiped her forehead. "I'm feeling very hot," she said. "So am I," said Amy. "Who turned the heater on?”Mr. Miller frowned. “The heater is not on. The machine that keeps us cool has stopped working," Mrs Miller answered. Oh no! The fridge is not working either and all the food will be ruined," she cried. And what about the freezer?” asked Ben. "The ice cream cake for Grandma is in there. It's a special treat for her.”
“That's a big problem, said Amy. "The ice cream cake will melt if it gets warm.”
Just then, the torch went out. "And now we have an even bigger problem," said Mr. Miller. "Oh dear! What do we do now?” Mrs. Miller asked. Amy saw her tablet glowing (发出暗淡的光) in the corner of the room. "I have an idea," she said.
