"Sometimes I don't like saying that I'm a teacher,"says Ho."People get in their minds an idea of what teachers do,but that's not really what it is here." "Here"is room 386,where each year,about 500 LPCH patients also become students.The hospital school is free of parents,doctors,and medical procedures.It's a place of learning.About half of Ho's students stay for a week or less,others are there for more than a year.Most of Ho's students will recover,which means that preparing them to return to school is an increasingly important component of care. Still,in room 386,academics don't come first.Physical health and mental health are the priority."If you're scared about something and thinking only about that,there's no way you're going to be able to learn,"Ho says."I'm a coach,an adviser,and a comforter,and that's what it means to be a hospital teacher." There are up to 30 students at any given time in Ho's class.She generally works with their regular teachers to get lessons and tests being used at their home schools.Some teachers don't give the kids any assignments;they express sympathy instead."I feel like it is a disservice to the kids," Ho says."They think their teachers don't care about their schoolwork." Ho recognizes the psychological benefit of helping kids keep up with their peers ( outside the hospital."I actually think the medicine is only a small piece for some problems,"says Julie Good,director of pain management services at LPCH."It's about problem-solving around what it means to have a full life.Those kids have dreams.School can keep those dreams alive by giving kids a way to learn and grow." 24.Who does Ho teach at LPCH?

C When Sonja Detrinidad opened her online shop selling houseplants,she didn't have high hopes for it.But the opposite happened:She was flooded,shipping out 1,200 orders in June of 2020 alone. In the past year,Detrinidad sent out more than 70,000 plants.Her success is just one example of increased time at home leading to an explosion in the houseplant industry. "Plants are in fashion right now,"says Dr.Melinda Knuth,a researcher from the University of Florida."People who live in plant-rich environments report a higher life satisfaction rating,she says."Adding more nature to our environment can change our mood and how we think."Plants can improve our state of mind in a few ways but the biggest is by decreasing our level of cortisol,the stress hormone(激素)in our body "Students who are around plants perform better academically than students who are in a classroom without plants,"says Knuth."This productivity also translates into the workplace for adults.Our study showed that there was a 30%decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces." If you're among the groups of people who are enjoying the mental and physical health benefits of surrounding yourself with plants,don't beat yourself up if one (or a few!)doesn't make it. Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant.Tending to plants is an exercise in patience and learning.Be invested in taking care of it,but ifit dies,go get another one,"Detrinidad says. 28.How was Detrinidad's business when it started? A.It faced tough competition. B.It suffered a great loss. C.It got lots of financial support.D.It went surprisingly well. 29.What is one of Knuth's findings about plants? A.They appeal more to students.B.They puify the environment. C.They raise the cortisol level.D.They enhance productivity. 30.What does Detrinidad try to explain by mentioning doctors and lawyers? A.The necessity of social skills.B.The meaning of sustainability. C.The importance of repeated efforts.D.The value of professional opinions. 31.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Time to Replace Houseplants B.Plants Boost Your Mood C.Tips on Choosing Houseplants D.Plants Brighten Your Home D Does your soul die a little every time you throw away unused food?Mine does.Maybe that feeling comes from growing up in South Africa,where the phrase "there are children starving in Africa"was more of an uncomfortable reminder of fact than a prayer at dinner time. Food waste is a growing concern in the restaurant,supermarket,and supply chain industries. From technological solutions to educational campaigns,food producers and sellers are looking for ways to use more of what we're already growing.But last month,one popular New York City restaurant tried a different way:It changed its menu to exclusively (offer food that would otherwise be thrown away. For two weeks in March,Greenwich Village's Blue Hill restaurant was renamed wastED,and served items like fried skate cartilage,a juice pulp burger,and a dumpster diver's vegetable salad. Each dish was tailor-made to raise awareness regarding food waste. A study by the Food Waste Alliance determined that the average restaurant generates 33 pounds of food waste for every $1,000 in revenue ()and of that waste only 15.7%is donated or recycled.Up to 84.3%is simply thrown out.Restaurants like Silo in the UK have experimented with zero-waste systems,but wastED took the concept to its logical conclusion. It should be noted that none of the items on wastED's menu was technically made from garbage.Instead,all the ingredients (used were examples of meat cuts and produce that most restaurants would never consider serving.Things like kale ribs,fish collars,rejected sweet potatoes, and cucumber butts were all re-appropriated and,with the help of a number of good chefs,turned into excellent cuisine. Though wastED received enthusiastic reviews,it was designed from the start as a short-lived experiment,Blue Hill has since retumed to its regular menu.Nevertheless,it serves as a reminder that there are many ways to address problems of sustainability,and that you can make an amazing meal out of almost anything 32.What can be inferred about the author's early life? A.He witnessed food shortage. B.He enjoyed the local cuisine. C.He donated food to Africans. D.He helped to cook at home. 33.Why did Blue Hill carry out the experiment? A.To customize dishes for guests.B.To make the public aware of food waste. C.To test a food processing method.D.To improve the UK's zero-waste systems. 34.What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A.Why the ingredients were used.B.Which dishes were best liked. C.What the dishes were made of.D.Where the ingredients were bought. 35.What can we learn about wastED? A.It has ended as planned. B.It is creating new jobs. C.It has regained popularity. D.It is criticized by top chefs. 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。 Unexpected Benefits of Volunteering as a Family Are you looking for a way to bring your family together?Hoping to find a hobby that can be shared by both the little ones and adults?36 You may know the "feel-good"emotions that come with helping others,but there are even more unexpected ways volunteering will positively affect the whole family.

There was plenty of space for the kids to run and play.There was just one thing I hadn't counted on:My brother chose to bring his dog Toby,a 50-pound ball of fire.Though friendly,he could easily knock over my niece's small boys and my six-month-old granddaughter.So,when my brother showed up,I asked him to watch Toby and keep him outside. My plan was working out just fine.Toby was using up his energy by running back and forth in the backyard and giving the kids plenty of room.Unexpectedly,after supper,the weather changed.It started to rain and everyone went indoors. It was an awkward moment.I didn't want Toby to be running around in the house,and my brother wasn't happy with driving home with a wet dog.Eventually,my brother decided to leave rather than force the issue. A few days passed,and I hadn't heard anything from my brother.I texted him and expressed wishes for him to come out again.His reply came as a surprise-a shock,actually:"Not a chance." Clearly,he was unhappy over the way we had parted.After all,I had left him little choice.Well,he'll get over it,I reasoned. Two months passed.My wife suggested I get in touch with my brother,but I resisted,thinking he should call first.However,my conscience (kept bothering me.I tried to put myself in my brother's shoes.He was facing health issues and his wife of thirty-five years had passed away a few months earlier.Toby was his constant companion,the one who kept him going. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I realized it was me who was at fault.
