A

For those dedicated to travelling, everyday activities during your journey such as shopping, eating, sleeping

are as significant as the travel scenery. These are the most beautiful streets in destinations around the world to

meet your requirements.

Jinli Street, Chengdu, China

Qing Dynasty style wooden houses and shops, filled with red lanterns and traditional signage

（招牌）

help

make Chengdu’s biggest tourist attraction look pleasingly historic. While it was restored into its current form in

2004, Jinli Street traces its history back some 1, 800 years, making it one of the oldest shopping streets in Sichuan

province.

Convent Avenue, Harlem, New York City

New York City is blessed with some of the most architecturally arresting streets in the world. But Harlem?

Convent Avenue stands out from the pack, thanks to its knockout buildings and tree-lined sidewalks. The stretch

between West 140th and 145th streets is the most impressive, including the Convent Avenue Baptist Church and

339 Convent Avenue, als

o known as The Royal Tenenbanms’

house.

Lombard St, San Francisco

Famed for its eight hairpins, which twist between a single block, Lombard

Street is one of San Francisco’

s

busiest attractions. And while the crowds lining up to take shots for Instagram can get a bit much, they shouldn’t

put you off going.

Said to be the most crooked

（

弯曲的）

street in the world, the views from the top are worth the trip alone, while

the surrounding buildings of Russian Hill are added eye candy.

Caminito, La Boca, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Meaning “the little path”, Caminito is the most colorful street in the most colorful area of Buenos Aires. The

street fell into disrepair in the 1950s after the railroad which ran through the area closed

（

the tracks are still here

）

,

before local artist Benito Quinquela Martin set about regenerating the area. Today, Caminito is a street museum,

its blue, yellow and green tenements

（住户，房屋）

showcasing works by local artists.

21. What do we know from the passage?

A. Jinli Street is the oldest shopping street in China.

B. Convent Avenue is known for its commercial shops.

C. Lombard Street is located in Russia.

D. Lombard Street is usually crowded with visitors.

22. If you want to see artistic works, which will you choose?

A. Convent Avenue, Harlem, New York City.

B. Lombard St, San Francisco.

C. Caminito, La Boca, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

D. Jinli Street, Chengdu, China.

23. Whom is the passage targeting at?

A. Holidaymakers.

B. Bookworms.

C. Cyclists.

D. Collectors.

“Why is my stocking cold? ” my mother asked nervously on Christmas morning in 1992. With a twinkle in

his eye, my dad encouraged her to reach into the homemade stocking on her lap. My sisters and I were eager to

discover what surprise my dad had cooked up this year. My mom tentatively pulled out a plastic grocery bag that

was filled with ice and let out a high-

pitched scream. “Marty! It’s a lobster! ” The room e

rupted in laughter. My

dad, sporting a giant smile, was as pleased as Christmas punch at the success of his joke. That night, alongside our

traditional turkey dinner, we enjoyed the fresh lobster with butter sauce. It has long been a family tradition to skip

the novelty it

ems and instead fill each other’

s stockings with common things the receiver truly enjoys. Most often,

this has included foodstuffs not usually associated with the holiday, for example, a jar of extra-sour pickles

（

腌菜）

.

Seafood has been a favourite over the years, and the shock value is definitely worth risk of salmonella

（沙门氏

菌）

.

One year, my dad gave my mom a bunch of carrots, with the feathery greens attached. My mom hates carrots,

so she half-heartedly thanked him

and set them aside. “Read it again!”

he shouted. On a second look at the orange

bunch, something sparkly caught her eye. She found a ring and cried in excitement.

My dad died when I was 25. We made a recording of some last words of advice that we could carry with us

into adulthood. He told us to link arms with each other, to stick to some family traditions and to always keep our

sense of curiosity. He said, “

Look up; I

’

ll

be there.”

Fifteen Christmases later, I reached my hand into my stocking

and felt my fingernail dig into somethi

ng fleshy. With a giant smile my sister said, “Isn’t that the most perfectly

shaped

dragon fruit you’ve ever seen?”

She was right. It was. I looked up, and somehow, just as he’d promised, I

knew he was there.

24. What does the underlined word “novelty” mea

n?

A. Unusual.

B. Literary.

C. Imaginary.

D. Attractive.

25. What would be the best gift according to the author’s family tradition?

A. A nice card.

B. A live shrimp.

C. A pair of warm gloves.

D. A new music album.

26. Which of the following

corresponds with Dad’s last words?

A. Being successful in careers.

B. Celebrating Christmas every year.

C. Being humorous in life.

D. Supporting each other.

27. Which is the best title of the passage?

A. Dad’s love

B. Christmas Day

C. Family funny stories

D. Dad’s humor

The electronic tras

h of yesterday will be tomorrow’

s most desired treasure when the Tokyo Olympics begin

this

summer.

Athletes

standing

on

the

podium

at

the

2020

Olympic

Games

will

receive

medals

made

from

recycled phones.

During

the

2020

Olympics,

the

organizing

committee

expects

to

hand

out

about

5,

000

medals.

Although

they’re made from recycled electronics, the medals don’t look different on the surface. They’re still gold, silver

and bronze circles with ribbons. Athletes proba

bly wouldn’t even notice that their Olympic medals are made from

recycled materials.

The Tokyo 2020 Medal Project focused on sustainability and creating environmentally friendly medals for the

Olympic Games. From April 2017 to March 2019, they collected small electronic devices, such as phones, all over

Japan for recycling. They gathered 78, 985 tons of devices, and 6. 21 million of the devices were used mobile

phones. More than 90 percent of Japan’s citizens participated in the recycling efforts.

After collecting the used electronics, contractors took them apart, extracted

（萃取）

the valuable metals and

refined them. They were able to collect 32kg of gold, 3, 500kg of silver and 2, 200kg of bronze. This allowed

them to make 100 percent of the Olympic medals for 2020 from recycled materials.

The 2020 Olympic medals have highlighted the importance of recycling electronics and the growing problem

of

e-waste,

or

electronic

waste.

The

United

Nations

estimates

that

people

created

44.

7

million

metric

tons

of

e-waste

in

2016.

From

televisions

to

smartphones,

landfills

are

full

of

old

and

abandoned

devices

that

no

one

wants.

The

United

Nations

points

out

that

only

20

percent

of

the

e-waste

from

2016

was

recycled.

Not

only

do

devices

contain

valuable

metals

like

gold

that

can

be

reused,

but

they

also

have

harmful

substances

such

as

mercury that can leach into

（渗入）

the soil and water.
