【題目】 Aleida Chavez, 69, is one of the thousands of Cubans who practice ancient Chinese martial arts to help them stay in shape and even maintain mental health, especially in times of hardship.

With partial lockdown of Cuba's capital Havana during the COVID-19 pandemic, Chavez practices her routines more often than ever. But instead of attending the Cuban School of Wushu and Qigong in the city's Chinatown, where she has gone for more than seven years, she practices at home.

"Chinese martial arts make me feel not only healthy but relaxed. I forget about the coronavirus and day-to-day problems for a while," Chavez said. "I am a senior citizen, but feel energetic. And I also encourage my relatives and close friends to join this exciting world." Chavez, who lives with her husband and daughter in a small apartment, has adapted (適應(yīng)) her routines to the smaller quarters, since the government asked people to stay home and avoid public gatherings in order to stop the outbreak in a short time period.

According to Roberto Vargas Lee, the president of the school, with gyms and sports centers closed during the lockdown, more Cubans began to practice the Chinese martial arts. He thinks "Chinese martial arts are never forgotten. They allow people to remain in harmony with nature and take care of their bodies while strengthening their minds. "The world needs the spirit of Chinese martial arts to find balance," he added.

According to history, Chinese martial arts were introduced to Cuba following the arrival of the first Chinese emigrants (移民) in 1847, and were accepted and practiced by most of the Cubans in the early 20th century. Now, because of the outbreak of the virus, people can't take Wushu lessons and practice face to face, but they can take lessons by watching Chinese martial arts programs which will be aired on Cuban TV. Isis Betancourt, 45, a doctor and news anchor (主持人) on Cuban TV that specializes in health issues, said audiences would welcome the program. "Chinese martial arts are more than sports. They are, above all, related to a philosophy of life that has been passed down throughout history," Betancourt said.

As Cubans continue to stay at homes, these broadcasts of Chinese martial arts aim to help residents stay physically and mentally fit.

【題目】 The novel coronavirus (新冠病毒) made this year’s Spring Festival holiday very different for most of us.

Many places in China began a first- level emergency (突發(fā)事件) response to the virus in mid-January, calling for people to stay at home. Following these rules, most people gave up family gatherings during the Spring Festival and canceled any festive celebrations.

It’s the quietest Chinese New Year I’ve ever had,” Xin Jingrong, a 14-year-old student from Nanning, Guangxi said. For the first time in years, Xin’s grandmother had to cancel her trip to Nanning and stay alone in her hometown.

The control measures not only separate many families, but also make daily life inconvenient. Many shops are closed, delivery services are slow, and wearing masks in public has become a must. Although it is inconvenient, people are still showing their understanding and cooperation (合作).

Tong Zexi, a 15-year-old student from Harbin, has not gone out in more than 20 days. “I know I need to protect myself and cause no trouble. In this critical (關(guān)鍵的) tit in time, when one gets sick, many others could be affected.”

Apart from simply following the rules, some people have done amazing things to help fight the outbreak.

On Feb 3, Zhao Junyan, a Junior 2 student from Shanghai, brought 15,000 masks from Indonesia back to China. People’s Daily reported. Zhao, while traveling in Jakarta, collected the masks with his uncle, who works in the city. The 15-year-old donated (捐贈(zèng)) all of the masks to Cangnan, Zhejiang, his hometown.

“When a country is in trouble, everyone is responsible to help,” Zhao said to the media. “What I have done is what an ordinary Chinese person can possibly do.”

English playwright Arthur Wing Pinero said, “Where there’s tea, there’s hope. ”

Tea is, without doubt, welcomed all over the world. According to Statista, a German online portal for statistics, global tea production reached about 5. 8 million tons in 2018. It has become the most consumed beverage in the world – after water, of course.

In order to celebrate the popular drink, the United Nations General Assembly has designated May 21as International Tea Day.

According to the UN, tea is much more than just a hot drink. It’s a big part of many cultures around the world.

You probably know that people in China use top-grade tea to show respect when receiving important guests. Meanwhile, the British tradition of afternoon tea is an important part of that country’s identity. Making Malaysia’s pulled tea has become a sort of art form, where drinkers take pride in its entertainment aspects. As an expression of Moroccan hospitality and tradition, mint tea – a mix of green tea, spearmint leaves and sugar – is served during gatherings and negotiations

Apart from its cultural significance, tea is also a medicine, used from ancient times to modern day. “Tea is cold and lowers the fire,” the famous Ming Dynasty herbalist Li Shizhen once said. The health benefits of tea are still being discovered today.

Hot or cold, bagged or loose-leaf, tea is more than a drink – it’s a social custom and also a magic medicine, a link to the past and a way of life.

回答下列問(wèn)題，每題答案不超過(guò)5個(gè)詞。

【1】Where is Arther Wing Pinero from?

【2】How many tons did global tea production reach?

【3】When is International Tea Day?

【4】What has become a sort of art form?

【5】What was Li Shizhen?

“Thank god!” said the Squire.

【題目】 How does fake ‘meat’ taste?

What comes to mind when you hear the phrase “space meat”? It sounds quite weird. But in fact, it could very well be the future of the human diet.

A Russian astronaut recently “grew” meat aboard the International Space Station. Yes, you read that right - he grew it using cells provided by an Israeli company called Aleph Farms. But in fact, he was not the first person to create lab-grown meat. Dutch scientist Mark Post grew the first lab meat in 2013.

But why bother growing meat in a lab when we can get the real thing from cows? For one thing, lab-grown meat is healthier. “We gain greater control over what the meat consists of(由……組成), for example its fat content,” Post said in an interview with The Atlantic. Lab-grown meat is also free of the chemicals that are used on farms, such as pesticides(農(nóng)藥) and growth hormones(激素).

Are there other ways to replace(代替) regular meat? McDonalds is trying to do so with the P.L.T., which stands for plant, lettuce and tomato. The first P.L.T. burgers are already being sold in Canada, according to the fast food company.

The “meat” in the P.L.T. is made out of Beyond Meat, a plant-based meat substitute( 替代品 ) created by a company from Los Angeles, US. The company uses pea, rice and bean proteins to produce patties(肉餅) that look and taste like real meat.

Experts doubt whether these products are healthier than real meat. But they have already proven to be a success, with several fast food companies already offering such products on their menus, according to Fox Business.

【1】What did the Russian astronaut do recently?

A.He grew meat on the International Space Station.B.He provided cells for an Israeli company.

C.He built a lab for growing meat in space.D.He created the first lab-grown meat in the world.

【2】Why is lab-grown meat healthier than real meat?

A.Because it is produced in clean labs.B.Because it is made from healthy cells.

C.Because lab meat doesn’t consist of fat.D.Because producers can control what’s in the meat.

【3】According to the story, P.L.T. burgers ________ .

A.taste better than normal burgersB.are made out of plant protein

C.are already being sold in the USD.are served by many fast food companies

【4】What do experts think of plant-based meat products?

A.They will be the future of the human diet.B.They are free from harmful chemicals.

C.They might not be healthier than real meat.D.They have already proven to be a success.
