18、e author.BChinese delivery driver, Gao Zhixiao, was featured on the cover of Time magazine in March because of his remarkable sense of commitment. Alongside five others, he was picked by the magazine as one of the heroes during the novel coronavirus outbreak. Ever since COVID-19 pandemic(流行病) broke
19、out, many restaurants shut down or switched to takeout-only services. Millions of people have been staying at home to avoid getting infected. “People choose to order food online or buy fruit and vegetables to cook at home,” Gao told Time. As a result, delivery orders dramatically increased, placing
20、a huge burden on delivery workers. Born into a poor family in the Ningxia Hui autonomous region, Gao started to make a living in Beijing at age 16. After the novel coronavirus broke out, Gao hesitated for a second to continue working, but then picked up orders because he thought customers might be i
21、n need.

25、ge?A. A Delivery HeroB. The Horrible PandemicC. A Brave Heart Beats AnythingD. Never Say NeverCShinrin-yoku means “forest bathing”. Forest bathing doesnt mean you take a bath in the forest; rather, you just go for a walk in the woods or a city park, where you slacken by using all your senses to expe
26、rience nature.Yoshifumi Miyazaki, from Chiba University, is among a growing number of scientists who have begun studying the science behind the effects of nature on human health. In his book Shinrin-yoku: The Japanese Art of Forest Bathing, Miyazaki explains the techniques of forest bathing.Miyazaki
27、 has an interesting theory about why shinrin-yoku is so effective. He points out that for more than 99.99% of the time, humans have lived in a natural environment. In fact, in 1800, only 3% of the worlds population lived in cities, and by 2019, this figure reached 54%. This is only going to get wors
28、e; officials predict that by 2050, 66% will live in cities.This suggests we live in our modern society with bodies that are still used to the natural environment, he writes in the book, because “genes cannot change over just a few hundred years”. The science behind the research studies he presents i
29、n the book makes a convincing case that forest bathing is an effective method for reducing stress in todays world.Now city planners are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of nature and are creating new kinds of “parks” out of empty spaces. Therere also more city gardens where people can g
30、row vegetables. For kids, kitchen gardens in schools are becoming popular. As Miyazaki stresses, you dont have to find a formal park or garden to practice shinrin-yoku. Instead, you can enjoy the effects of nature wherever therere plants.Better yet, he says, we can bring nature closer to where we sp
31、end most of our time. Miyazakis research has shown that just increasing the amount of plants in a room can affect the relaxation benefits of the room. Whats more, even when people just look at flowers, their bodies relax and stress levels decrease.28. What does the underlined word “slacken” in Parag
32、raph 1 probably mean?A. Behave.B. Entertain.C. Predict.D. Relax.29. How does the author mainly develop the third paragraph?A. By giving examples.B. By listing figures.C. By making remarks.D. By presenting research findings.30. Why does forest bathing work effectively according to Miyazaki?A. Human g

It is easy to operate.B. It is meant for gardeners.C. It is unaffordable in the city.D. It is inconvenien
34、t to practice.DOver the last 25 years, psychologists have found that personalities center on five basic traits(特性) the Big Five: agreeableness, conscientiousness (责任心), neuroticism, extroversion and openness. Contrary to common belief, people just arent organized into certain personality types. Ever
35、y trait is a continuous dimension and everyone can be described as having varying levels of each trait. A new research has also found animals from ants to apes all have the Big Five and that the universality of personality points to an evolutionary origin.Animals and humans have common problems of s
36、urvival, which are explained clearly in the Big Five, and thats why theres so much continuity in human personality and animal personality. For example, conscientiousness involves behaviors like planning and consideration, which are important among animals for taking care of their young, selecting ma
37、tes and living in groups. Being neat and orderly aspects of conscientiousness also has evolutionary superiority. Bees that like to keep clean and remove more dead group members reduce risk of disease and reproduce more. Spiders that make tidy webs catch more insects. Birds that build neater and soli
38、der nests attract more mates.These behaviors may seem primitive, but theyre nevertheless indications of personality. Personality is the expression of all of the behaviors that humans and animals exhibit that allow them to function adaptively in the world.Evolution can also explain why personalities
39、vary so much. Depending on the situation, each of the Big Five can be advantageous. For example, agreeableness is great for relationships. But if a lion were charging at you, youd better run with a less agreeable and more aggressive personality. Because the world is so unpredictable, every aspect of
40、 each personality trait could be useful at different times, so instead of evolving a single type of personality thats best for every situation, were left with a wide variety.32. What do people generally think about personality types?A. Different personality types have respective strengths.B. Everyon
41、e falls into a particular personality type.C. People with common personality types gather.D. Everyone has mixed personality types.33. Whats the purpose of mentioning some animals in Paragraph 2?A. To illustrate the advantages of being conscientious.B. To analyze survival chances of cooperative anima
42、ls.C. To explain why they are tidy and orderly.D. To throw new light on their behaviors.34. Why do we display a certain personality in a specific situation?A. To be free of trouble.B. To be adaptive to circumstances.C. To compete for equal rights.D. To gain advantages over others.35. What does the t
43、ext mainly focus on?A. Personality and behavior.B. Categories of Big Five.C. Contradictory facts on personality.D. Diversity and variability of personality.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Make Your Garden Pet-FriendlyHave you ever thought of providing your
