They waited patiently for what seemed a very long time, stamping in the snow to keep their feet warm. At last they heard the sound of slow shuffling(拖着脚步走)footsteps approaching the door from the inside. It seemed, as the Mole said to the Rat, like someone walking in slippers that were too large for him and down at heel, which was intelligent of Mole, because that was exactly what it was.
- 2 -
The door opened a few inches, enough to show a long snout (口鼻)and a pair of sleepy eyes.
\"Now, the very next time this happens,\" said an angry voice. \"Who is it this time, disturbing people on such a night? Speak up!\"
\"Oh, Badger,\" cried the Rat, \"let us in, please. It’s me, Rat, and my friend Mole, and we've lost our way in the snow.\"
\"What, Ratty, my dear little man!\" exclaimed the Badger, in quite a different voice. \"Come along in, both of you, at once. Why, you must be very cold. Lost in the snow! And in the Wild Wood, too, and at this time of night!\"
The two animals got inside, and heard the door shut behind them with great joy and relief.
The Badger, who wore a long dressing gown, and whose slippers were indeed very down at heel, carried a flat candlestick in his paw and had probably been on his way to bed when their voices sounded. \"This is not the sort of night for small animals to be out,\" he said kindly. \"Come along; come along; come into the kitchen. There's a first-rate fire there, and supper and everything.\"
He shuffled on in front of them, carrying the light, and they followed him down a long narrow passage into a large fire-lit kitchen.
The kindly Badger helped them remove their wet coats and boots, and brought them clothes and slippers. In the comfortable light and warmth, warm and dry at last, it seemed to the storm-driven animals, now in safety, that the cold and trackless Wild Wood just left outside was miles and miles away, and all that they had suffered in it was a half-forgotten dream.
24. What happened to Mole and Rat?
A. They visited Mr. Badger. B. They got lost in the forest. C. They walked to keep warm. D. They looked for food to eat. 25. Why was Mr. Badger angry at first?
A. He thought his slippers was too large and down at heel.
B. He heard someone stamping in the snow to keep their feet warm. C. He hated being bothered on his way to bed in a freezing cold night.
D. He knew Mole and Rat lost their way in the cold and trackless Wild Wood. 26. Which of the following can be best described Mr Badger? A. He has a heart of gold. B. He is strict with himself. C. He is as good as his word. D. He has a mind of his own. 27. What can be inferred from the text? A. Mole and Rat are grateful to Mr Badger.
B. Mr Badger didn’t pay attention to his appearance.
C. Rat had thought the slippers were too large to Mr Badger. D. Mr Badger helped Mole and Rat to get their gratitude.

Though most dinosaurs are thought to have hunted primarily during the day, a little bird-like dinosaur may have been strictly a night hunter, a new study suggested.
The dinosaur, Shuvuuia deserti, was a small animal, about the size of a chicken, and it lived about 65 million years ago in the deserts of what is now Mongolia.
Shuvuuia’s skeleton is among the most bizarre of all dinosaurs, the study said. It had a fragile, bird-like skull; strong arms with a single claw on each hand; and long legs. \"Acting at night, digging ability and long limbs are all features of animals that live in deserts today,\" said study lead author Jonah Choiniere, a University of the Witwatersrand scientist. \"But it's surprising to see them all combined in a single dinosaur species that lived more than 65 million years ago.\" he added, \"It had some of the largest pupils(瞳孔)ever measured in either birds or dinosaurs.\"
\"For many decades, dinosaurs were considered to be day-active,\" study coauthor Lars Schmitz, a biologist at the W.M. Keck Science Department in California, said in a statement. \"Now we're adding new evidence that some small, predatory(食肉的)dinosaurs could have been night-active instead, which changes the thinking about dinosaurs.\"
The study investigated how vision and hearing abilities of dinosaurs and birds compared, and concluded that Shuvuuia's vision and hearing were not at all ideal for the daytime. Schmitz explained that the dinosaur's extraordinary hearing and night vision were beneficial for life in the desert, where high temperatures discouraged daytime hunting.
\"We think it would have caught its prey-small mammals-at night when the temperatures were cooler,\" Schmitz told CNN.
The study was published Thursday in the peer-reviewed journal Science, a publication of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Maybe you've seen the \"startling\" numbers, said Billy Baker in The Boston Globe. A recent survey by the American Psychological Association suggests that 42 percent of Americans put on undesired weight in the past year. Among those ages 25 to 40, an even higher 48 percent claimed an unwanted weight increase. Some of the possible causes are obvious, such as the more sedentary(久坐)lifestyle that can come from unemployment or working from home. Prolonged stress, and the drinking or overeating that people use to cope with it, are surely major contributors. Obesity creates serious health threats at all times, but the pandemic has showed the seriousness of the problem, said Jane Brody in The New York Times. After old age, obesity is the second leading risk factor for death among people critically ill with Covid-19. A recent CDC study shows that even mild obesity increases the risks of hospitalization and death, while severe obesity potentially triples it. Even before the pandemic, 69 percent of Americans were overweight.
If you fall into that category, \"it's not time to guilt yourself,\" said Ada Wood and Naomi Thomas in CNN.com. If snacking got you through 2020, be happy it did. Also understand that stress, genetics, and other factors beyond your control affect how your body stores weight. But you can adopt healthy habits that will contribute to sustainable weight loss. Always have three meals a day, for starters, and at each meal, “zaim to include at least 3 ounces of protein.\" Good sleep habits and modest weightlifting-to preserve muscle mass-help, too. If you desire ice cream when stressed, seek alternatives: \"A hot bath or a walk around the block can be equally stress-relieving.\"
As a country, we're going to have to change how we regard obesity, said Leana Wen in the Washington Post. When more than 2 in 5 Americans are obese, it implys a societal issue that requires major change at the policy level. \"There's no silver bullet,\" says Tufts University cardiologist Dariush Mozaffarian, \"but a range of policy solutions\". 32. Which isn’t the reason why Americans put on undesired weight in the past years? A. Sedentary lifestyle coming from unemployment. B. Working from home. C. Overeating used to cope with stress. D. Lacking for exercises. 33. What did the author want to suggest from the last but one paragraph? A. Guilting yourself. B. Eating snacks.
C. Adopting healthy habits. D. Having a 30-minute daily walk. 34. What is the author's attitude towards rising obesity?
A. Indifferent. B. Objective. C. Negative. D. Optimistic. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Rising Obesity: The True Challenges Of Covid-19. B. Bad Habits Affect People’s Weight.
C. New Conclusions Make People Amazed.
D. Prolonged Stress And Overeating Are Linked To Obesity. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Nowadays, we work excessively(过分地), and it is almost a competition to see who can be the busiest. People are becoming corporate warriors, concentrated on their professional careers and on making a fortune, and so they simply forget what makes them happy. 36 Let's find out how to enjoy life to the full and feel joy every day. 37 The Danish concept of hygge has spread because it offers a road to happiness. Although this word itself is difficult to translate, it loosely means comfort, warmth and togetherness, which can be achieved by taking time away from the daily rush and enjoying the good things in life, like spending time with family and friends.

Wiking, the author of The Little Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets To Happy Living, the CEO of the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen, claims that hygge has been called everything from the art of creating closeness relationship to the comfort of the soul. 38 How to Become a Hyggespreder
For those who are looking to introduce more hygge into their lives, the best place to start is the home. We need to stop for a while and enjoy the little things. The whole concept of hygge is about appreciating the simple pleasures in life, and can be achieved on a small budget. 39 If you have some free time, don't think about your duties for tomorrow, or anything else, but instead just snuggle up in a warm blanket, read a book, and sip tea.
Hygge Ending
Hygge has this focus on being present, connected, feeling warm, understood and secure. 40 So, maybe next time, instead of being at sixes and sevens and working your fingers to the bone, just sit down and get satisfaction from the small things, such as taking a candlelit bath, or enjoying a sofa side chat with a loved one with a glass of red wine in hand. A. Any special outfits? B. What is Hygge?
C. Most Danes associate hygge with twinkling candles, which creates a special atmosphere in their homes.
D. Fortunately, there are still some countries where the pace of life is slower and the levels of happiness among their citizens are really high.
E. Those ingredients are also vital to our mental health, and that’s why it’s becoming so popular.
F. According to the author, some of the key ingredients are togetherness, relaxation, indulgence, presence and comfort.
