Interested hikers can visit hiketrustees．org and create a profile，then simply log their miles within three days of a completed hike．The miles and sites visited are calculated and saved，and a leaderboard is updated in real time．Prizes such as Trustees’goods，and gift certificates are awarded monthly to those who take the most bikes and log the most miles．
There are improvements to the program this year，such as monthly and yearly challenge options，new challenge categories，an updated logging system，new prizes to reach milestones，and organized hikes and tips emailed to participants．A Facebook group with nearly 2，000 members also inspires participants to log more miles and reach personal health goals． 1．What happened to“Hike Trustees”program in the previous year?

Kukim Vazquez，a 17-year-old high school senior from Compton，US，started baking when she was in fifth grade and has spent the last few years watching YouTube courses and making more cookies and cupcakes than her friends and family are able to consume．
After a cousin encouraged her to get on Instagram to promote her baking business，she came across a jewelry-making workshop hosted by the Compton Girls Club．
Like a lot of high school students，Vazquez had been struggling during the pandemic：There were no gymnastics or other courses for kids after schoo1．Signing up for the sessions of the Club business training base seemed better than scrolling on her phone all day．Over three weekends，she and 10 other teens learned the basics of starting a small business．During a final session，participants presented their businesses to judges．
Her idea—Home Sweet Compton，a home bakery—won over the judges．“I wasn’t so focused on winning，but just learning so much throughout the process was really helpful，”she said．
The base is just one of the many ways founder Chrystani Heinrich has sought to make the Club a stimulatory community to boost and support the teens．“Have a great idea，but can’t even imagine how to get started being your own boss?”read a post on the Club’s lnstagram advertisement page．“Owning your own business isn’t just for adults!”
In six sessions，the participants learned how to form business ideas，got help with branding and were trained in marketing，budgeting and how to use different small business tools．Now，Vazquez is working on pricing everything in a way that allows her to donate some of the profits back to local community organizations．
She said the name Home Sweet Compton shows her respect for the strong sense of community in her hometown．“Compton in the media is usually perceived negatively，”Vazquez said．“They don’t value the community and all these helpful programs that are out there to help the people．The name kind of indicates there’s a sweeter side to Compton than what’s usually projected．” 4．For what purpose did Kukim attend the sessions? A．To better use her free time． C．To share her ideas with others．
B．To improve her baking skills． D．To win awards in baking contests．
5．What did Kukim learn from the Compton Girls Club? A．How to enter the top business．
B．How to start a small business．
C．How to offer assistance to the teens． D．How to establish local organizations． 6．What does the underlined word“stimulatory”in Paragraph 5 mean? A．Inspiring．
B．Challenging． C．Imaginary．
D．Temporary．

At the Green Free School in Copenhagen，students learn how to read and write and they study math and science．But the curriculum centers on sustainability．Students are taught how to garden and grow their own food．They compost，collect rainwater and recycle．There are no rows ofdesks，no blackboards and no tests．
The goal of the school is to prepare the students for the green“transition”．That’s the transformation toward a sustainable society．“To me it was important to make a school that would address the green transition that we were going through，”Danish filmmaker Phie Ambo，who founded the schoolin 2014，says．
The Green Free School was not difficult to open—in theory．Anyone can set up a private school in Denmark with the state covering about three-quarters of the cost．The problem was finding a facility．“The first year，we were just hanging out in scout cabins and tents，”Ambo says，until they found an old industrial paint building．
The school’s courses are modeled on system thinking and project learning．System thinking is a way of learning that looks at how the pieces of a puzzle are related，instead of just looking at one small part．Students also focus on project learning and hands-on thinking．They do experiments on fibers and clothing，learning how much heat it takes to melt a piece of thread and what’s the difference between polyester(聚酯) and wool and how long they last．
Although sustainability and environmentalism are the key focus，the school works to include everyone without being too strict．They serve plant-based foods completely，but allow kids to bring whatever they want to eat．They serve an all-organic and vegan meal once a month and invite everyone．
“It’s to show our kids that making this whole green transition can be fun and comfortable and nice and it's not about NOT doing things．”Ambo says．“We always say‘don’t eat meat’and‘don’t fly’but we try not to be too rigid because all the parents are not on their journey yet．You can participate at all stages．We don’t want to exclude anyone．We’re all taking the first steps and learning from each other．”
8．What is special about the Green Free School? A．It aims to prepare kids for their future careers． B．It focuses on raising environmental awareness． C．It attaches great importance to science subjects． D．It is trying to change kids’attitude towards tests． 9．What difficulty did Ambo have in founding the school? A．Attracting more students． C．Collecting enough money．
B．Getting official approval． D．Finding a suitable site．
10．What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A．The students’learning approaches． B．The variety of school courses．
C．The benefits of system thinking． D．The school’s experimental materials．
11．Which of the following best describes the measures taken by the school? A．Strict
B．Effective．
C．Flexible． D
A study of 2，000 adults found 61 percent think their diets are different during the lockdown，with 29 percent of those saying they are healthier than they were before．One eighth are using more plant-based foods and a quarter are choosing fresh produce．And three in ten have learned to create new dishes including curry，homemade pizza and cookies．
The research，which was conducted by FLORA also found 17 percent of those who have seen their diets change have consumed less meat while one in ten have reduced their dairy(乳制品)intake．One fifth are snacking less often and three in ten start to eat more fruit and vegetables．
Catherine Lloyd，from FLORA，said，“It’s clear that people around the nation have had to adapt their eating habits during this unpredictable time．Instead of eating what we want，when we want，and dining out when we don’t feel like cooking，meals are taking center stage and becoming a central point of our socializing and day-to-day schedules．Our research also shows people are making increasingly healthy food choices—including a shift towards plant-based eating，which is great．To help provide some cooking inspiration for the nation，our team of professional chefs have created over 175 recipes．All of them are suitable for even the most unskilled chefs．”
Catherine also said，“The sense of community spirit across the nation at the moment is amazing and makes all of us at FLORA hugely proud to be British．”The study revealed that the lockdown has brought households and communities closer together during this period of uncertainty，and that people are taking the time to get creative in the kitchen，not just for their households but also for their neighbors．29 percent talk to their neighbors more．And almost one fifth have even cooked for someone outside of their households．More than a quarter of those did so because the receiver was unable to get to the shops themselves．
12．The study found that during the lockdown people_____． A．do not eat meat at all
B．have reduced food intake D．are eating more healthily
D．Scientific．
C．1ike to order take-away food
13．What can we infer from Catherine Lloyd’s words? A．She is happy to see people eating healthier food． B．Food is the most important thing in our daily life． C．People still choose eating out as a part of social life． D．Their team feels like offering cooking training programs． 14．What is considered part of the community spirit? A．Learning to be creative in the kitchen． B．Paying more attention to eating healthily． C．Cooking for someone outside of your household． D．Following social distancing rules during the lockdown． 15．What can be the best title of the passage?
A．A survey on people’s daily diets B．Changes of people’s eating habits C．Advice on keeping a balanced diet
D．Helping others with cooking at home

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。
I've been thinking a lot about travel lately，which is ironic because I can’t go anywhere．16 Even if everything reopened tomorrow，I would not be lining up to buy a plane ticket．My thoughts on travel are more focused on how this lockdown caused by pandemic is a rare opportunity to rethink the way we move around the globe and to make it more sustainable．
17 You don’t have to worry about currency exchange，visas，passports，language barriers，cultural differences clothing，and more．You’re more likely to have contacts and friends to meet up with or to offer advice on what to do and see．This frees up more time to relax and enjoy the experience．
If reducing one’s footprint is a goal while travel ing，making“smaller and simpler”a priority will always be better． 18 When I’m in foreign countries，I look for small，privately-owned hotels，inns，bed-and-breakfasts，or house rentals．
The same philosophy applies to transportation—choosing the simplest，the humblest way of moving between points A and B．If I have to rent a car for my family，we choose the smallest size that will suit our needs． 19 Hiking trips，cycling trips，train trips，canoe trips—all of these are simpler ways of moving around，and thus kinder to the planet．
I realized that participating in short tours is an excellent way to infuse(注入)some structure into an otherwise open and loose travel schedule，especially when you’re in a foreign country．20 It also leads one to places that are off the beaten track．As someone who often travels alone，it's a great way to make some friends and find a temporary travel partner，whether it's just for another meal or trip．
A．Much of the world remains in lockdown． B．People can’t travel freely in some places． C．The slower the mode of transportation，the better． D．Keep this in mind when booking accommodations． E．Having some distance can allow for better viewpoints． F．It educates and informs in a way that a guidebook cannot． G．Visiting local destinations is much simpler than overseas travel． 第二部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分)

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 In the summer holidays of my first college year，I was invited to be an instructor at a high school leadership camp hosted by a college in Michigan．I often took part in most campus activities，and I took the opportunity gladly．
On the first day，when we were playing games，I noticed a boy under a tree．He was small and skinny，with obvious discomfort and shyness．Not far away，about 200 campers were joking and enjoying meeting each other，but the boy under the tree seemed to want to get away from the group work．The loneliness he showed almost stopped me from getting close to him，but I remembered being told by the senior instructors to be aware of the campers who might feel left out．
As I walked toward him I said，“Hi，my name is Kevin and I'm one of the counselors(顾问)．It’s nice to meet you．How are you?”
In a shaky，sheepish voice he unwillingly answered，“Okay，I guess．”
I calmly asked him if he wanted to join in the activities and meet some new people．He quietly replied，“No，this is not really my interest．”
At lunch the next day，I found myself leading camp songs at the top of my lungs for 200 of my new friends．The campers took part eagerly．I caught sight of the boy under the tree，sitting alone，staring out ofthe window．I nearly forgot the words of the song I was supposed to be leading．I tried again，with the same questions as before，“How are you doing?Are you okay?”
To which he again replied，“Yeah，I'm alright．I just don’t really get into this activity．” That evening I explained to my fellow members my impression of him and asked them to pay special attention and spend time with him when they could． 注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The days I spent at the camp went by very quickly． Suddenly I saw what would be one of the most vivid memories of my life．
