Many areas were left without power or water. As soon as the storm passed, a team of cooks and other volunteers sprang into action. They set up makeshift (临时替代的) kitchens. Leading the charge was José Andrés, who owns popular restaurants in the United States. He's also the founder of World Central Kitchen (WCK), which cooks meals for people affected bynatural disasters and other emergencies (突发事件). “We will make it to everyone who needs food,” Andrés said. At press time, WCK had served about 300,000 meals there.WCK began its work in 2016, when Hurricane Matthew hit Haiti. It left many people without food. Usually, after an emergency, governments give out prepackaged meals, but some of the food isn't very healthy. Andrés thought he could do better. The food served by WCK is fresh and healthy. When possible, it adds in local ingredients (原料), which suit the tastes of the area.WCK cooks have shortcuts to cooking lots of food quickly. Andrés grew up in Spain, where cooks use massive pans (巨大的锅) to make a rice dish called paella. He realized paella pans could be used for all kinds of food. Now WCK cooks use them for everything and they can cook for 500 people at a time this way.WCK has about 25 staff members. But much of its work is done by volunteers. Twenty thousand volunteers served almost 4 million meals after Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, in 2017. Andrés said a 10-year-old girl there named Lola ran a whole part of the kitchen on her own, and he thought she was a heroine.In Haiti, it's common for school meals to be cooked indoors over open fires. This can be dangerous. WCK wants to help. The group has built or repaired more than 140 schools in Haiti. In many of them, it has fitted gas stoves (煤气灶) and water lines. Together, this has made schools cleaner and safer for more than65,000 people.4. Why did Andrés start WCK?A. To comfort the injured people.B. To rebuild popular restaurants.C.

Professional and easy-going cooks.CFirst impressions are important, but are first impressions correct? Personally, I'm not so sure, and according to new research, neither is science.You really shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but I certainly have, and I'm willing to bet (打赌) you've done it, too. Consider this, though: If I'd let my opinion on, say, the boring cover of John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath stop me from reading this great novel, I would have missed out on one of my favorite books to date. First impressions are important because they can influence you one way or another, but they shouldn't be the be-all and end-all of your opinion on someone.According to Jonathan Freeman, a professor at New York University, first impressions are collected within only a few hundred milliseconds and are often based on the person's facial appearance.“First impressions of faces can influence how we make decisions about people,”Freeman explained in a statement. Therefore, in order to put an end to such first impressions, you have to understand where your first assumptions (假设) come from. In order to do this, a team of researchers in Switzerland performed two experiments: The first required participants to judge the personalities of dozens of people only based on photos they were shown online. For example, in this part of the study, researchers took note of how participants related personality features like friendliness with various appearances. The second experiment explored what kind of facial features were connected with exact personality features. For example, someone who has a round face with “babyish features” might be considered as friendlier ormore harmless than someone who isn't smiley in their photo.The results showed that first impressions often aren't all right. Look, it's really unfortunate that first impressions aren't always right. Still, these first impressions happen regardless of whether or not they're right, so the best thing you can do is try to put your best foot forward without, of course, giving up your authenticity (真实性); you are exactly who you were meant to be, and all you cando is be the best person you can.8. What does the author want to show by mentioning John Steinbeck's novel?A. First impressions are influential.B. The cover of a book is unnecessary.C. We shouldn't judge a book by its cover.D. Few people tend to make judgments at first sight.9. What were the participants asked to do in the first experiment?A. Choose photos they like.B. Relate personalities with photos.C. Show their opinions of smiley faces.D. Talk about their impressions of other participants.10. Which of the following is a finding of the research?A. People find it hard to make a good impression.B. Faces show personality features correctly.C. First impressions are not always reliable.D. One's facial appearance is really important.11. What's the author's advice according to the text?A. Don't be too realistic.B. Try to be your best self.C. Don't be judgmental.D. Disregard others' suggestionsDWhen you think of a national park, you generally picture fresh air and wild animals, right? Well, now you're going to have to add tea shops and something called “the Underground” to your definition (定义), because London, England has signed up to be the first “National Park City.”London was founded by the Romans around 2,000 years ago and people have continually lived there since then. In all that time, however, nobody had the idea to replace all the parks with big box stores or high buildings, which means London already has a much lower urban density (密度) than most of the world's cities. Nowadays about a third of the city is green space.In July 2019, London announced its willingness to become the world's first National Park City. Now the city is moving toward the goal of achieving 50% green space by the year 2050 by connecting and increasing public parks, greening unused parking lots and the private yards of existing and new houses, and fixing some green roofs on existing buildings.“Encouraged by the aims and values of our rural (乡村的) national parks, the London National Park City is basically about making life better in the capital through both small everyday things and long-term thinking,” Daniel Raven-Ellison, who began the movement to make London a National Park City six years ago, said. “We've been doing that in London for centuries, which is why London is so green.” It's about going further to make the city greener, healthier and wilder; making the city richer in wildlife.London will have a much easier job achieving this type of green transformation (转变) than more densely-urbanized cities like Paris and New York, which have 10% and 27% green space, respectively. But that doesn't mean it's not possible — the National Park City Foundation hopes to include 25 more cities in addition to London by the year 2025. Glasgow, Scotland and Newcastle upon Tyne in northeast England are both considering becoming National Park Cities.12. What makes London more likely to become a National Park City than other cities?A. Its smaller population.B. Its locals' requirements.C. Its government's strict law.D. Its wider area of green space.13. Where can you find out about London's measures to achieve its goal?A. In Paragraph 1.B. In Paragraph 2.C. In Paragraph 3.D. In Paragraph 4.14. What does Daniel try to talk about in the fourth paragraph?A. The values of newly-founded parks.B. The importance of his movement.C. The influence of green space on cities.D. The preparation for setting up a movement.15. What would be the best title for the text?A. London is leading the world in park constructionB. London becomes the world's first National Park CityC. London is listed as the world's most-visited cityD. London has built the world's first underground park第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。
