【题目】Camping without a campfire is not camping at all.Late-night conversations and games around the campfire are essential for a pleasant camping experience.1It needs a certain degree of responsibility. If you are planning to set up a campfire, or if you are planning to cook during camping, you should remember some fire safety tips.

Choose a campsite which has a campfire pit(深坑). 2If there is no fire pit, set up your own. However, you should be careful not to place the fire pit near your camping tent.

When you set up a campfire, make sure that you put the campfire materials in the right order. This can help you make sure that there will be no flying debris(碎片) once you light your fire. Put the light materials first such as paper or dry leaves.3Finally, make sure that you place stones around the campfire pit.

Never burn plastics or other poisonous materials, which will disturb your neighboring campground guests.4Do not use petrol every time you attempt to light your campfire. Use it only when all the other fire-making options fail.

5Before you leave your campsite or before you go to bed, make sure that your campfire is completely out. Leaving fire unattended runs high risks of forest fires and the like.

A. Then, put the wood.

B. That way, camping can give you a lot of freedom and fun.

C. However, you ought to be aware of the fact that camping with a campfire is not all about fun.

D. Petrol,diesel(柴油) and gas are among the most efficient ways to make a fire.

E. This will ensure that you will be capable of controlling your campfire.

F. Once your campfire is set up, do not leave the flame unattended.

G. Itwill also significantly pollute the air and promote the risk of fire spreads.

【题目】 In the world of entertainment, TV talk shows have undoubtedly flooded every inch of space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one varies in style and format. But no two shows are more profoundly opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows.

Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of “trash talk”. The topics on his show are as shocking as shocking can be. For example, the show takes the ever common talk show themes of love, sex, cheating, guilt, hate, conflict and morality to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is a display and exploitation of society’s moral catastrophes, yet people are willing to eat up the intriguing predicaments of other people’s lives.

Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its extreme, but Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show focuses on the improvement of society and an individual’s quality of life. Topics range from teaching your children responsibility, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.

Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being dumped on society. Jerry ends every show with a “final word”. He makes a small speech that sums up the entire moral of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.

Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show’s main target audiences are middle-class Americans. Most of these people have the timemoney, and stability to deal with life’s tougher problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of an association with the young adults of society. These are 18 to 21 year olds whose main troubles in life involve love, relationship, sexmoney and peers. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned underneath the show’s exploitation.

While the two shows are as different as night and day, both have ruled the talk show circuit for many years now. Each one caters to a different audience while both have a strong following from large groups of fans. Ironically, both could also be considered pioneers in the talk show world.

1Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear distasteful, the audience ____.

A.remain indifferent to themB.are ready to face up to them

C.remain fascinated by themD.are willing to get involved in them

2Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?

A.A new type of robot.B.Family budget planning.

C.Racist hatred.D.Street violence.

3Despite their different approaches, the two talk shows are both ____.

A.ironicB.instructiveC.sensitiveD.cynical

4We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows ____.

A.are targeted at different audiencesB.exploit the weakness in human nature

C.appear at different times of the dayD.have monopolized the talk show circuit

【题目】At primary school in New Zealand, I was introduced to a school savings account run by one of the local banks. When our money box was full, we took it to the bank and watched with pride as our coins flowed across the counter. As a reward,we could choose our next money box from a small variety, and start the whole savings routine again. Every week I watched my parents sort out the housekeeping and “make ends meet”. Sometimes it was annoying to wait for things we really felt we needed.

Later, as a university student, I managed on an extremely small student allowance. Students were ignored by banks then, because we were so poor, and there was no way I could have gotten credit, even if I had tried. We collected our allowance three times each year, deposited it to the best advantage and withdrew it little by little to last until the next payout of the allowance.

When our daughter, Sophie, began to walk, we made a purposeful choice to encourage her to use money wisely. We often comment when the TV tells us “You owe it to yourself to borrow our money"—to whom do we really owe it? And what would happen if our income were reduced or dried up? Now, as a 12-year-old child, it’s almost embarrassing to see her tight “financial policy”,and wait for the unavoidable holiday sales to buy what she wants.

I agree that financial education in schools is very important. But the root of the problem lies with us and the way we behave as role models to those who follow.

3What reflects Sophie’s tight “financial policy”?

A. Reducing her savings.

B. Buying things on sales.

C. Canceling holiday plans.

D. Borrowing money from banks.

From: Mavis Chen

Subject: getting back our old subscribers

Since the marketing meeting yesterday, it occurred to me that we might be ignoring one potentially important source of subscribers. We have focused so intently on how to expand the appeal of our product to groups that have never used it before that I’m afraid we may have overlooked the obvious we may have forgotten that there is a whole group of interested people who have used it and stopped for one reason or another.

This target group has particularly good potential because it consists of readers who have demonstrated interest in the subject matter we present. Their interest is not something we have to work to stimulate. I suggest that making a maximum effort to win these readers back will be more effective on a percentage basis than pursuing some of the other groups we’ve identified.

Since these readers quit using our product once, they were most likely dissatisfied with some aspect of our presentation or our pricing. Our new product will be vastly improved over the old version and is priced more competitively. We need to do everything possible to get those points across, perhaps by sending them a free issue and by asking for their opinions on how we might improve it even further. This could be in the form of a very short survey, either included with the free issue or accessible online.

If you think this idea has merit and might be willing to authorize it, let’s discuss it further when you’ve got a few spare minutes. I have a rough draft of the survey questions I could show you.

1What kind of product is the writer referring to in the memo?

A.A web-based information service.B.A magazine.

C.A consulting service.D.Computer software.

2Why is the writer confident that they can win back their old customers?

A.Their product has no competition.

B.Their product has changed dramatically.

C.They have reduced the price of their product

D.The need for their product has increased.

3What does the writer want to do?

A.Start her plan immediately.B.Wait for input from the survey.

C.Get Mr. Rodgers’ approval.D.Present her idea in the next meeting.

China is expected to make more 1contributeto global containment(控制)of COVID-19 by developing vaccines(疫苗) through international cooperation, leading international public health experts said. Having 2effectivebrought the disease under control, China can work to help 3strong global health systems and improve global preparedness for the next public health crisis, Seth Berkley, CEO of the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunizations, said at a seminar last week. “China has done a remarkable job on COVID-19 control. It’s really extraordinary to see a country 4hitby a severe disease respond so quickly,” he said. “China tried to slow this disease down, not just for China 5for the world.” But with reduced COVID-19 cases in China 6a result of its containment, domestic vaccine developers may need international cooperation so further clinical trials can be conducted in other countries. Some Chinese companies have shown interest in international cooperation, 7 can help to develop vaccines for the disease.

Berkley said some organizations wanted to work with China in the development of vaccines to contribute to containment of the disease globally. They wanted to work on bringing Chinese science and vaccine manufacturers to the world, 8 (try) to make sure that the quality is there and 9 China can work through the thicket of international regulations. China has world-class vaccine research and development teams, and vaccine manufacturing in China 10 (make) great progress over the past decades. They will continue to support China in the research, development and manufacturing of vaccines.
