2 . 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。

In December 2018, a bunch of friends and I went to Europe to travel. Upon arrival in Vienna, we got the keys to the house from its owner. The     1     (decorate) of the house was quite good.

In Vienna, if anyone wants to copy a key, he or she is expected     2     (prove) their ownership of the property (房产) the key is for. It’s also really expensive. An ordinary key usually costs 150 euros (1.170 yuan). As the person in charge of the keys, I had a great responsibility.

    3     next day, we went everywhere, including the Sisi Museum and a coffee shop in the city center,     4     had dinner in a fancy restaurant. We felt quite relaxed. While we     5     (enjoy) dinner, my friends came up to me, asking for the keys so they could leave early. It was then that I realized that I’d lost them.

The host asked us to give him 300 euros to cover the cost of a new set of keys. We made a complaint about it but we had to pay the money. So, hoping to get our money back, we decided to do some detective work     6     our own.

I wrote an email to the Sisi Museum in the middle of the night, wondering whether the staff had found them. Early in the morning, I received their reply, saying that they had not.

    7     (fortunate) in the end, the keys were found in a souvenir shop. The host even said congratulations to us.

Though we saw many great     8     (sight) in Europe, the most     9     (value) thing about my trip was this lesson I learned: Never lose your keys in Vienna. Your keys ought to     10     (take) good care of.

3 . I live in a town near Prague(布拉格), the capital of the Czech Republic. Besides cars, bikes are the most important _________ of transportation(运输). As it _________ you to go almost anywhere you want, cycling is a big _________ for Czech people. On weekends, you can see cyclists _________ through the towns wearing helmets (头盔) and cycling clothes.

Some people _________ that living in a town is inconvenient (不便利的), including me. _________, I find life in towns much more _________ than that in big cities after living here for a while. I was _________ given a bicycle by my host family. _________ it is only an ordinary bike, I was still __________ and couldn’t wait to take a cycling trip alone.

One sunny Sunday afternoon, I took my first cycling trip to a village nearby. I cycled for a while, alongside a river. But then, something happened: One of my tires __________. There was no choice but to __________ my bike back home, which took an hour.

I didn’t give up though: One week later, I __________ again. This time, however, there was__________ wrong with my tires. It was a very beautiful town, with a typical Czech castle and a park full of peacocks. People were taking part in a marathon that day. There were also stands selling __________ Czech foods and drinks, such as potato pancakes and beer.

It was already sunset when I __________ to head home, and I saw almost no one on the way back. As the warm breeze softly stroked (轻抚) my face. I felt very __________ and happy.

I believe many of us need a(n) __________ like this to take a break from our __________ life sometimes. So, I really do encourage all of you to take a cycling trip alone, even just to a nearby village. Just look around you, and you’re sure to __________ some hidden beauty.

4 . It might seem like something from a science fiction movie, but scientists today are working on ways to combine certain kinds of bacteria with tiny robots. Scientists want to use these creations to improve the way we give medical treatment. They claim that drug therapy (疗法), disease diagnosis, and even surgery could be greatly aided by the use of nanobiotechnology. Nano-means “tiny”, and bio-means “life”. This tiny technology will use living organisms in combination with electronics.

Electronics makers already use tiny robots to build complex but very tiny circuits. Medical scientists want to use these robots to repair patients’ damaged organs or to direct medicines to affect specific cells. For example, tiny robots could be engineered to deliver chemotherapy (化疗) directly to cancer instead of to the entire body.

Existing electronics are the right size, but they lack practical use. Robots that can be built small enough to enter a person’s cells would be too tiny to move on their own. Therefore, scientists want to use tiny organisms such as bacteria to act as vehicles for the robots. The bacteria will be “driven” through the bloodstream by magnetic pulses (磁脉冲). Once the bacteria are in the correct locations, the robots will be able to do their jobs. In theory, these robots will cause less damage to the body than traditional methods of delivering medicines or performing surgeries.

Nanobiotechnology has yet to be put into practice, but many people already have concerns about its use. Some people worry about the ethic (道德标准) involved with controlling live organisms—and the possible side effects for their human hosts.

1. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?

A．The application of tiny robots.	B．The influence of tiny robots.
C．The operation of tiny robots.	D．The origin of tiny robots.

2. Which of the following could be a future benefit of nanobiotechnology?

A．Cheaper medicine.	B．Less harm to the body.
C．Longer life expectancy.	D．Faster performance of surgeries.

3. According to the medical scientists, robots ______.

A．can locate he bacteria.	B．are driven by medicine.
C．can act as vehicles.	D．are carried by bacteria.

4. Where does the text probably come from?

A．A computer textbok	B．A life magazine
C．A science magazine	D．A biology textbook

6 . 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。

I have a neighbor we call "Happy". I have never seen her angry at anything and never heard her say a harsh (苛刻) word to anyone or about anyone. They always have a positive attitude     1     other people and the society.

Happy and her husband Ben. 70, have a huge garden on which they spent many happy hours together working. Most of the neighbors watched interestingly as Ben doubled the size of     2     (they) garden. As the cost of food climbed faster, we all wished we also had such a large garden.

One day last month was the time     3     Happy and Ben asked most of the neighbors to go for an “all-day food feast". The place where we     4     (invite) to go was their house. They said to us, "Please bring gloves and arrive very early in the morning, will you?" We didn't know the reason why they asked us to do that. Neither did we know what     5     (take) place the next morning.

By 9:00 am, there were nine of us in the garden picking     6     (variety) kinds of vegetables such as tomatoes, beans, okra, and squash. By 10：00 am, there was lots of laughter. We didn't need to pretend     7     (be)like others and we were ourselves. We shared a lot of stories. By five o'clock. everyone was a little drunk from the wine and beer. After dinner, we played games. We were     8     (extreme) happy. As we were leaving, Happy and Ben handed each of us a shopping bag that was filled with the bounty (收成) of the day. What a delightful gift!

Well, in     9     (summarize)the point wasn't so much about the food. The true gift was a day of friends enjoying one another's company, wasn't     10    ? None of it would have happened if it had been for Happy and Ben's garden.

7 . Ways to Show Gratitude (感激)

COVID-19 has a way of making people feel like their world was turned upside down overnight. They struggle with feeling frightened and feeling like everyone is overreacting (反应过度).     1    

Give thanks for everyday things

    3    

One way to make gratitude a regular part of your day is to make it a habit to think of three things you are thankful for each day.

B．Stick to expressing gratitude in public.

C．Then, compare those with where you are now.

D．Gratitude doesn’t have to be over the top or something significant.

8 . 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。

If there is one thing in life that we could choose not to experience, it is the death of someone we love.     1    (lose) a friend or family member is heartbreaking and hard to accept, but how we deal with it, and how we "move on” , changes from person to person.

Sometimes we feel     2     passing of a loved one has come too soon. Our first reaction is to feel very sad, and even though we may soon     3     (encourage) to accept and let go. But feeling of great sadness is a very natural, human response to loss and can take the form of many     4    (expected) emotions, from shock to anger and disbelief.

When someone dies, we may try to put on a brave face and hide our     5     (feeling). But you can talk to them in your head, write them a letter or share memories with other people who knew them. Some people choose to make a more permanent reminder     6     someone by getting a tattoo. Dr John Troyer from Bath University told the BBC: "You can have a continuing bond with the dead... I think it's a very important way for people to come to terms with the fact     7    someone has left. "

Whatever approach you take to grieving and to keeping someone's memory alive,     8    (final) , the physical aching and pain caused by the loss of a loved one will go down. But the memories of that person and the times we shared can stay with us forever.     9     the singer and songwriter Patti Smith said, “Loss     10     (be) something that we never get over. "
