1 . Constantin de Slizewicz has been anxious to come back to China since early 2020.For the past decade, the Frenchman has been running a luxurious （豪华的）camping business in Shangri-La in the southwest of China's Yunnan Province. But in December 2019, he went back to France for a vacation. He usually goes back to France and stays there for two to three months, since there is little business due to the weather.
Following the outbreak of COVID-19, however, he found it difficult to return. Fortunately, his business partner Guillaume de Penfentenyo was able to get a flight to China at the end of February.
Previously, most of his customers were international guests from outside the country who were drawn to the beautiful landscape and scenery in Shangri-La. Despite the pandemic（疫情）and even in his absence, Slizewicz's company managed to attract new tourists, who were unable to travel abroad under the circumstances and discovered the joy of camping. "It makes sure of our operation," he says happily.
Last year, his team offered summer camps in Shangri-La for Chinese students who couldn't travel abroad. In autumn, many domestic travelers also signed up for his company's organized adventures deep into the wilderness.
Slizewicz first visited China in 1996 when he engaged in a three-month internship（实习期）. He was impressed by the Chinese people around him and was attracted by places like Guizhou and Yunnan provinces, which were well-matched to his interest in camping-a passion he has had since childhood. "I met people in the mountains, singing and herding their yaks（牦牛）. That makes the mountains feel special and alive,” he says.

3 . In the past decades, TV advertising（广告）has been one of the most powerful forms of advertisement. Basically it is a mixture of both video and sound advertising messages. Some people believe that TV advertising is more powerful than other advertising means such as magazines, websites, radio stations, and newspapers. Television was once considered to be the “king” of advertising media at a time.
A TV advertising company always tries to catch the attention of as many people as possible. And TV advertising conquers its viewers for various reasons. It allows a product to reach a large number of people, both at local as well as at national levels. In addition, it takes a short time for a product to reach the public as well. TV advertising can target （瞄准）a large number of local families with local cable（有线电视）network channels and independent stations. Various audience like housewives, young people and children are targeted through different channels like TV series, cartoons, shopping programme, etc. Before a product is advertised on TV, complete market research is done in order to know the needs of various customers to the product. Then TV helps get more detailed message with sounds, images and actions rapidly across to TV viewers, providing easier choices to the customers to choose the desired product.
Although we admit the fact that TV advertising works better over others in many aspects, TV advertising are not always the best choice for both companies and viewers. It has its negative（消极的）side sometimes. TV advertising is usually short, thus they do not express much information about the product. Besides, making TV advertising involves complicated steps. Producing it involves hiring an advertising agency, video editors, actors and writers, so an advertising agency need to think over the high expense of making TV advertising. Therefore, TV advertising with rich sounds, images and actions can mislead or persuade people to buy some products they don’t really need.

| C．Advertisers needn’t know the market very well. | D．It targets customers more exactly than other forms. |
| A．Advertisers must pay attention to saving money. | B．An advertising agency needs professionals. |
| C．TV advertising should always be short. | D．TV advertising has its own disadvantages. |
| A．Positive. | B．Objective. | C．Confused. | D．Doubtful. |
| A．Is TV advertising out of date nowadays? | B．TV advertising is the most expensive of all! |
| C．TV advertising has both positive and negative sides | D．Pay attention to the misleading TV advertising! |

8 . While visiting Lake Louise last summer, one of the most famous sights in the Canadian Rockies, I saw a plastic spoon float by in the green water. Whether someone had thrown the spoon into the water, or if it was blown in by the wind, the sight surprised me. It was a sad reminder (提醒物) of the reach that plastic pollution has. Try as I might, I could not reach that spoon, and had to watch it float away.
Grist wrote about the problem of plastic cutlery (餐具) in an article called “It’s time to take America’s plastic fork problem seriously”: “It’s hard to say how many forks, spoons, and knives Americans throw away, but in 2015 we placed nearly 2 billion delivery (递送) orders. If at least half those meals included single-use cutlery, that would mean we’re throwing away billions of cutlery each year. They don’t just disappear. A recent study of the San Francisco Bay Area found that food and drink packaging made up 67 percent of all litter on the streets.”
Fiona Nicholls, ocean plastics campaigner for Greenpeace UK, said: “We can’t carry on using up land or cutting down forests to make cutlery, cups or packaging that get used for a matter of moments, and could pollute our planet for hundreds of years to come. It’s grotesque.”
As members of the community, we should do our part to stop single-use cutlery. One way is to throw a travel set of reusable cutlery into your bag. Even if you don’t have your own set or forget to bring it with you, there are other ways. When eating out, choose places that offer reusable cutlery. Finger foods like pizza, tacos or sandwiches are also nice choices. If you’re ordering food for delivery, you can also say “no thanks” to plastic forks, knives and spoons.

| D．Many people spend money on takeaway food. |
| A．useful. |
| B．boring. |
| C．satisfying. |
| D．unreasonable. |
| A．Single-use cutlery harms the environment. |
| B．Single-use cutlery is in great need every year. |

| D．People can use different ways to stop using. |
9 . At the age of twelve years, the human body is at its most vigorous. It has yet to reach its full size and strength, and its owner his or her full intelligence; but at this age the likelihood of death is least. Earlier, we were infants and young children, and consequently more vulnerable (易受伤害的), later, we shall undergo a progressive loss of our vigor and resistance which, though unnoticeable at first, will finally become so steep that we can live no longer, however well we look after ourselves, and however well society, and our doctors, look after us.
This decline in vigor with the passing of time is called ageing. It is one of the most unpleasant discoveries which we all make that we must decline in this way, that if we escape wars, accidents and disease we shall eventually “die of old age”, and that this happens at a rate which differs little from person to person, so that there are heavy odds in favor of our dying between the ages of sixty-five and eighty. Some of us will die sooner, a few will live longer—on into a ninth or tenth decade. But the chances are against it, and there is a virtual limit on how long we can hope to remain alive, however lucky and robust we are.
Normal people tend to forget this process unless and until they are reminded of it. We are so familiar with the fact that ma ages, that people have for years assumed that the process of losing vigor with time, of becoming more likely to die the older we get, was something self-evident, like the cooling of a hot kettle or the wearing-out of a pair of shoes. They have also assumed that all animals, and probably other organisms such as trees, or even the universe itself, must in the nature of things “wear out”.
Most animals we commonly observe do in fact age as we do, if given the chance to live long enough; and mechanical systems like a wound watch, or the sun, do in fact run out of energy in accordance with the second law of thermodynamics (whether the whole universe does so is a moot point at present). But these are not analogous (类似的)to what happens when man ages. A run-down watch is still a watch and can be rewound. An old watch, by contrast, becomes so worn and unreliable that it eventually is not worth mending. But a watch could never repair itself —it does not consist of living parts, only of metal, which wears away by friction. We could, at one time, repair ourselves—well enough, at least, to overcome all but the most instantly fatal illnesses and accidents. Between twelve and eighty years we gradually lose this power, an illness which at twelve would knock us over, at eighty can knock us out, and into our grave. If we could stay as vigorous as we are at twelve, it would take about 700 years for half of us to die, and another 700 for the survivors to be reduced by half again.
