1 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

BW Kafe is an unusual-looking cafe in Moscow and Sankt Petersburg which looks like the setting of A-ha’s famous “Take on Me” video.

BW Kafe first made international headlines last year,    1    photos of the Sankt Petersburg branch became popular online.    2    (design)by Russian artist Anfisa Toshina, the inside part of the cafe looks like a picture drawn with charcoal(木炭)on a piece of white paper,     3    (create)the false impression that you are the only 3D “object” in a two-dimensional(二维)world. It’s a pretty nice trick,     4    one that might seem strangely familiar if you have been on the Internet sometime in the last two years.

This whole coloring book concept is    5    (actual)nothing new. It    6    (introduce)in South Korea first, by the designers of Cafe Yeonnam-dong 239-20, but has since been copied by other entrepreneurs(创业者)looking to capitalize on the    7    (popular)of the design. We saw similar cafes open in Japan a couple    8    years ago, now Russia, and I bet there are dozens more all over the world, not to mention official Cafe Yeonman branches.

While it may look like a copy of Cafe Yeonnam-dong 239-20, it’s a pretty well organized one, and for    9    (European)who can’t visit the South Korean cafe, it’s a chance    10    (enjoy)a cup of coffee in a 2D world, or get some more material for their Instagram.

4 . Senior high school is not only just attending classes and attempting to get high grades. Students can make the most of the opportunities high school offers you to explore your interests and sometimes interact with fellow students in clubs. Here are some introductions of popular clubs.

Speech Club

Do you enjoy talking? Do you think you can be a future lawyer? Try out for the school’s speech team. Not only will you meet people and make friends, you’ll also get to practice public speaking, a valuable, important tool that you will use at every stage of your life. By researching, talking about debating hot- button political, social, cultural and environment topics, you will also become more aware and up-to-date on current events.

Band Club

Are you in a band in junior high? If so, you probably remember always hanging around with your musical friends. If you haven’t joined any high school club yet, you should! Most high school bands give performances, and even go on trips to Disney land. Not sure? Did I mention that studies show that students with music education tend to receive higher grades? You read it right.

Red Cross Club

If you are interested in the medical field or planning to take a combined M.D. program, perhaps you should consider joining your school’s Chinese Red Cross Club. As part of the high school club working with the local Red Cross chapter, you can become a lifeguard, learn how to perform first aid, or become a trained instructor who teaches others.

Language Clubs

Can you speak Spanish, French, or German? Or maybe you just really like the foreign language class! Either way, you should consider joining your school’s language clubs and lean a new language during your past time.

The days of elderly women doing nothing but cooking huge meals on holidays are gone.

Enter the Red Hat Society-a group dedicated to the new concept     1     old ladies should have fun.

"My grandmothers did     2    but keep house and serve everybody. They were programmed to do that," said Emils Comette, founder of a chapter of the 7-year-old Red Hat Society. The group has chapters in all 50 U.S. states and 25 countries.

While men have long spent their time fishing and playing golf, women have sometimes seemed to become invisible as they     3    (age). But the generation now turning 50 is the baby boomers , and the same people who refused their parents' way of being young are now trying a new way of growing old.

8 . While markets suffered recession, a number of groups enjoyed record growth.Here we list some of the top 100 company winners in a bad year.

1.Xiaomi Corporation

Sector: Technology          HQ: Beijing, China

Huawei’s horrible year has been a windfall (意外之财) for China’s other big smartphone makers.With Washington’s Huawei sanctions (制裁) forcing Android users to turn to Xiaomi’s devices, it has risen above Apple to take third place in global smartphone market share.Its stock was added to Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index and it crossed the $100bn market cap mark last month.

2.Pinduoduo

Sector: E-commerce        HQ: Shanghai, China

The e-commerce group’s rise was accelerated by the pandemic as hundreds of millions of Chinese shoppers turned to their smartphones rather than malls.The economic downturn raised demand for Pinduoduo’s extremely cheap goods with sales up 70 percent in the first nine months of the year.It also came closer to profitability as it set strict rules in discounts, and an antitrust investigation into its chief competitor Alibaba also helped.

3.Meituan

Sector: E-commerce             HQ: Beijing, China

China’s “everything app” was hit hard by lockdown, as authorities closed restaurants and consumers shied away from food delivery.But Meituan bounced back in the second half of 2020 with growth at its food delivery business making up for declining travel sales.Investors are betting better days lie ahead — it now boasts 477m annual users.

4.Tesla

Sector: Automotive            HQ: Palo Alto, US

10 . The Red Cross is known for performing some of the most heroic acts in the world. There are Red Cross societies in 190 countries all over the world. Their task is to prevent and alleviate human suffering in the face of sudden serious situations by organizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of those who want to donate(捐献).

In 1860, Swiss businessman and social activist, Jean Henri Dunant, saw the effects of war, and countries not prepared or able to deal with the suffering of those who had been injured in the Battle of Solferino during the second War of Italian Independence. Dunant organized a group of volunteers to help bring water and food to the injured, to help with medical treatment, or to write letters to the families of those who were dying. After that moment, he knew that more had to be done, and he wrote the book, A Memory of Solferino, which encouraged the public to create an organization which would help the wounded. His writing encouraged more people to support him in creating the International Federation of the Red Cross. And in 1863, International Committee of the Red Cross was founded.

The modern-day Red Cross does more than nursing soldiers during wartime. The group began to devote itself largely to disaster relief(灾难救援) and epidemic(流行病) treatment. It has achieved even greater service in humanitarian(人道主义的) programs that serve continuously in both peace and war.

One of the easiest ways you can help the Red Cross is to make sure you are able to donate blood and make an appointment at the Red Cross website. But, donating blood isn’t the only way you can help out—the Red Cross also encourages you to donate your time if you can, along with other things the modern-day Red Cross wants you to know.

A．Lighten.

C．Express.

D．Find.

2. Why did Dunant write A Memory of Solferino?

A．To make more people know the Red Cross.

B．To ask more people to help the wounded.

C．To let people see the cruelty of wars.

D．To call on people to stop wars.

3. Where can you find the present duty of the Red Cross?

A．In Paragraph 1.

B．In Paragraph 2.

C．In Paragraph 3.

D．In Paragraph 4.

4. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?

A．To introduce the Red Cross website.

B．To explain the Red Cross’s future work.
