21、When it comes to learning abroad, you may feel uncertain and nervous. Then a supportive host family can be hugely significant in making you feel comfortable in a new country and a new culture. Here are some reasons.
Imagine if you could find a warm greeting upon arrival at your chosen destination. Your homesickness will be cured by the quality time you spend with your host family. Sharing conversations, trying each other’s hobbies or enjoying a movie evening together can create bonds and friendships that last a lifetime.
While you live with a local family, you can make the most out of everyday conversations in a relaxing environment, which will encourage you to learn new words in new ways that you cannot always pick up in the classroom. You will make much faster progress in your learning as you’ll be putting your skills to use outside the classroom as well as with native speakers.
While you live with your host family, you will eat the local cuisine and get to know the true character of the local food culture. Although each family does it differently, this will give you invaluable insights into local life. You may even learn some delicious family recipes and should also share yours.
While exploring unknown pathways can be exciting, sometimes you just have to be somewhere on time. Living with a host family will teach you how to travel like a local and navigate the London Underground like a pro (老手) and read a train schedule with so much confidence that a native speaker asks you for direction.
Daily life with your host family will teach you so much about the culture and traditions of the country you are living in. It will also teach you to embrace cultural differences. Not only will you return home with new language skills, but you will hopefully also come home with a second family abroad—a true home away from home.

22、As France enters a strict four-week lockdown in order to prevent a dangerous second wave of coronavirus, its independent booksellers have requested the status of an essential service．
A statement announced by booksellers' association wants bookshops to be listed alongside supermarkets and drugstores as necessary to human well-being．Bookstores might not be the first thing that comes to mind when we think about what's needed in a dangerous situation, but they offer mental comfort that few other businesses can match．"Books satisfy our needs for understanding, reflection, sharing and communication, even in separation," says the statement．They appeal to the French government to "leave our bookstores open, so that social separation is not also cultural isolation．"
Bookstores have already established rules of conduct that allow shopping to occur in a safe, gem-free manner．They want curbside（路边）pickup to be allowed to continue, which means placing a customer's order to his car trunk without the buyer leaving his vehicle．The staff should wear a mask and maintain at least six feet of distance while delivering goods．
We also reached out to the American Booksellers Association（ABA）to learn whether American booksellers also view themselves as a much-needed service．CEO Allison Hill admits that booksellers "in no way outweigh healthcare workers during the stay-at-home period," but the role of bookstores and books should not be underestimated．Books are important to many people this year for various reasons, including homeschooling, education, emotional support, connection, and humanity．That is why "bookstores in the U．S．are given essential status during shutdowns so that they can continue offering curbside service．" Despite this, independent booksellers are struggling across the US, as they are in France．Hill said in a press release that one bookshop has closed per week since COVID-19 started and that 25% are in danger of closing by January．
【1】Why did the association announce the statement?
A．To keep bookstores running．
B．To run bookshops near markets．
C．To compete with US booksellers．
D．To stress the benefits of books．
【2】According to Paragraph 3, how will bookstores operate safely?
A．By providing home delivery．
B．By giving away free masks．
C．By offering less contact pickup．
D．By forcing buyers to leave the cars．
【3】What can we infer from Allison Hill's words?
A．American bookstores are considered necessary．
B．The great importance of books is overlooked．
C．Booksellers are more important than doctors．
D．A quarter of bookstores have closed by January．
【4】What's the main idea of the passage?
A．Books offer mental support in tough times．
B．Bookstores should be an essential service．
C．Bookstores are at the risk of closing down．
D．Booksellers contribute a lot during the pandemic．
23、A Duke University-led study finds that bottlenose dolphins burn calories at a lower rate as they get older, just like humans do. It’s the first time that scientists have measured an age-related metabolic(新陈代谢的) slowdown in another large-bodied species besides humans, said the first author Rebecca Rimbach.
Rimbach has studied energy consumption in animals ranging from mice to monkeys. But data on the inner workings of sea animals such as dolphins and whales have been scant, she says. “That’s because these ocean animals are difficult to catch for repeated measurement. It can be very tricky to get the animal back when you need it,” Rimbach said.
The researchers studied 10 bottlenose dolphins aged 10 to 45 living at two sea animal centers. To measure their average daily metabolic rates, the researchers used the “doubly labeled water method”. It involved getting the dolphins to drink a few pounds of water with “heavy” forms of hydrogen and oxygen put in, and then following how long they took to force them out. Carers collected the dolphins blood and analyzed the levels of heavy hydrogen and oxygen atoms(原子) in it. Thus, the team was able to count how much carbon dioxide (CO2) the dolphins produced each day, and then how many calories they were burning as they went about their lives.
The scientists found the oldest dolphins in the study, both in their 40s, used 22% to 49% fewer calories each day than expected for their body weight. And similar to humans, more of those calories ended up as fat rather than muscle. Dolphins in their 40s had body fat percentages that were 2.5 times higher than the under-20 dolphins’. It wasn’t for lack of exercise and it wasn’t because they’re eating too much, Rimbach said. It was related to metabolic aging.
The researchers said such work could uncover factors besides diet and lifestyle that caused age-related weight gain in people. “Further studies into this commonality we share with dolphins may help us understand why our metabolism slows as we age,” said co-author Hannah Salomons.
【1】What does the underlined word “scant” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Detailed.
B．Strange.
C．Rare.
D．Different.
【2】Why did the carers collect dolphins’ blood during the research?
A．To better know about their oxygen demand.
B．To figure out the amount of burnt calories.
C．To analyze the main content of the blood.
D．To check the health condition of dolphins.
【3】What is the reason for the elderly dolphins’ higher percentages of body fat?
A．Their unhealthy lifestyles.
B．Their shortage of exercise.
C．Their weakened metabolism.
D．Their preference for fat food.
【4】What can we conclude according to the text?
A．Burning calories needs more fat as dolphins age.
B．Exercise can speed up some animals’ metabolism.
C．Dolphins’ meal timing may influence weight loss.
D．Dolphins metabolism tends to slow down with age.
24、If you make list of the world’s top ten most challenging jobs, chances are that being a teacher will not make the cut. But think about the discouraging task millions of educators face each day as they try to shape group of often bad-tempered, wild kids into intelligent, well-rounded individuals. That surely has to be the toughest job in the world, especially given that there is no promotion or bonus awaiting them even if they are wildly successful!
What if these all-important individuals that we often take for granted disappear from our lives? That was what Project Ed and Participant Media’s Teach campaign asked filmmakers of all ages to imagine in their recently-held competition Entitled “A World Without Teachers”, its purpose was to inspire more young people to become teachers. However, the 62 amazing video submissions also serve as a reminder of how horrible things would be if we didn’t have these selfless individuals guiding us through life. What was interesting is that even the youngest participants did not appear to be happy at the idea of not having anybody telling them what to do.
High-school student Savannah Wakefield reflected if art as we know it today would have been different without teachers. Would Monet have discovered his talent for impressionism? Los Angeles-based Miles Horst, who won the 1000 USD prize for the best adult submission imagines a world where teachers are replaced by a “brain box” in his fun lively entry.
Youth category winner Marina Barham’s video represents a fact we all know but often forget. Teachers don’t just teach, they inspire-something that no electronic device, no matter how smart, can do! So the next time you think your teacher is being “mean” for trying to channel you in the right direction, imagine life without him/her. We have feeling it will not appear as rosy!
【1】From the passage we can learn that ________.
A．teaching naughty kids is a very discouraging task
B．teachers have little influence on kids’ individual development
C．a successful teacher has the greatest chance to be promoted

【3】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 suggest?
A．A world without teachers will be unimaginable.
B．The future of teachers’ work appears inspiring.
