E-mail to communicationsmetmuseum.org.BVolunteering Is Fun One evening I was sitting in my sitting room feeling so bored. Instead of feeling sorry for myself, I wanted to meet people and have new experiences so I decide
9、d to start volunteering. I searched on my laptop and found a website where I could volunteer on a farm in France. My time working on a farm was a new experience for me. It was basically a free holiday as food and accommodation were provided. However, it was not your typical holiday as I had to look
10、after fifteen horses and sleep at the top of a tower in a castle! I was an awful farmer but it did not matter because I made some great friends. However, you do not need to go abroad to volunteer. I have had plenty of adventures at home as volunteering can become a hobby. For example, I love singing
11、 so I had a good laugh waving my arms in an attempt to conduct my local choir. I did slowly improve and it felt great to conduct the choir in a concert. At university, I organized a concert for charity with my friends. It was really fun finding bands and raising money for a cause we believe in. It i
12、s true that you feel good volunteering but there are also other advantages. I once volunteered as a server at a charity sports event where the organizers gave me cupcakes to thank me for my services. I also volunteered in a charity shop so I found loads of nice cheap clothes to update my wardrobe. W
13、hile this is all fun, my favorite aspect of volunteering is creating and sharing stories. My terrible attempts at farming have given me hilarious stories to tell! Talking to volunteers from different countries and backgrounds has also helped me learn more about the world. I feel thankful to have had
14、 so much fun with many nice people thanks to volunteering.24. Why did the author want to volunteer? A. He wanted to go abroad.B. He felt ashamed of himself.C. He wanted to be a farmer.D.

16、 Anxious. C. Grateful. D. Cautious.C Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is gaining global popularity. According to a government white paper, TCM has been introduced in 183 countries and regions around the world. Westerners understanding of TCM, however, may be limited to acupuncture(针灸), cupping(拔罐)
17、 and massage(按摩). For instance, the purple, injury-like marks left on U.S. swimmer Michael Phelps back from cupping for the purpose of relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2016. As a matter of fact, Chinese herbs play a more important role
18、in getting rid of diseases and keeping the body in good condition in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment. It is therefore disappointing to know that while 103 World Health Organization member countries have given approval to the practice of acupuncture, not many recognize Chinese herbal
19、 medicine. TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing partly to the slow development of Chinese herbs. Herbs are made into pills, powder and soup, and the kind of herbs used, their quality and quantity, and the processing of the ingredients jointly determine the effectiveness of the prescription. C
20、ompared with Western medicine, which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods, TCM lacks standardization, with the chemical composition and functions of its medicines being unclear and their effects being unstable. Fortunately, standardization has improved in recent decades,
21、with an increasing number of factories producing patented TCM drugs. Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM prescription(处方) drugs is the lack of creativity. While Western medicine-making companies come up with new products every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicines acco
22、rding to prescriptions handed down from the past. Chinese chemist Tu Youyous winning the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her research into malaria(疟疾) treatment may drive creativity to some extent in Chinas TCM industry. However, the current state of affairs cannot be changed within a
23、 short time.28. Why does the author mention the example of Michael Phelps?A. Because Phelps has an international fame for his interest in TCM.B. Because cupping is a kind of important TCM treatment.C. Because currently westerners have a preference for TCMD. Because westerners have rather limited kno
24、wledge about TCM.29. Why dont some member countries of WHO recognize Chinese herbal medicine?A. Because Chinese herbs cant cure diseases as well as western medicineB. Because they only approve of the practice of acupunctureC. Because Chinese medicine tastes so bad. D. Because medicine made out of Ch
25、inese herbs develops pretty slowly30. Compared with Western medicine, what is the weak point of TCM in Paragraph 4?A. The methods of processing herbs.B. The effectiveness of prescription.C. Lack of proper standardization.D. Its unstable functions.31. The lack of creativity in TCM refers to the fact
26、that_.A. medicine-making companies lack creativityB. prescriptions are passed down from generation to generationC. Western companies are more experiencedD. medicine-making companies lack driving force and experienced specialistsDEl Nifio(厄尔尼诺), a Spanish term for “the Christ child”, was named by Sou
27、th American fisherman who noticed that the global weather pattern, which happens every two to seven years, reduced the amount of fishes caught around Christmas. El Nifio sees warm water, collected over several years in the western Pacific, flow back eastwards when winds that normally blow westwards
28、weaken, or sometimes the other way round.The weather effects both good and bad, are felt in many places. Rich countries gain more from powerful Nifio, on balance, than they lose. A study found that a strong Nifio in 1997 helped Americans economy grow by 15 billion, partly because of better agricultu
29、ral harvest, farmers in the Midwest gained from extra rain. The total rise in agricultural incomes in rich countries is greater than the fall in poor ones.But in Indonesia extremely dry forests are in flames. A multi-year drought (干旱)in south-east Brazil is becoming worse. Though heavy rains brought
30、 about by El Nino may relieve the drought in California, they are likely to cause surface flooding and other disasters.The most recent powerful Nino, in 1997-98, killed around 21,000 people and caused damage worth $36 billion around the globe. But such Ninos come with months of warning, and so much
31、is known about how they happen that governments can prepare. According to the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), however, just 12% of disaster-relief funding in the past two decades has gone on reducing risks in advance, rather than recovery and rebuilding afterwards. This is despite evidence tha
32、t a dollar spent on risk-reduction saves at least two on reconstruction.Simple improvements to infrastructure (基础设施)can reduce the spread of disease. Better sewers (下水道) make it less likely that heavy rain is followed by an outbreak of the disease of bad stomach. Stronger bridges mean villages are l
33、ess likely to be left without food and medicine after floods. According to a paper in 2011 by Mr. Hsiang and co-authors, civil conflict is related to El Ninos harmful effectsand the poorer the country, the stronger the link. Though the relationship may not be causal, helping divided communities to p
34、repare for disasters would at least reduce the risk that those disasters are followed by killing and wounding people. Since the poorest are least likely to make up for their losses from disasters linked to El Nino, reducing their losses needs to be the priority(优先权).32.What can we learn about El Nin

Individuals who fail to do so will be fined. Although people were confused with the demanding garbage classification at the beginning, they are much better at sorting garbage now with the help of a special App. Personally, Im in full support of garbage classification because it contributes to arousing peoples awareness of protecting the environment. Hopefully my information is of help to you.
