When international aid is given, steps must be taken to ensure that the aid reaches the people for whom it is intended. The way to achieve this may not be simple. It is very difficult for a nation to give help directly to people in another nation. The United Nations Organization (UNO) could undertake to direct the distribution of aid. Here however rises the problem of costs. Also tied with this is time. Perhaps the UNO could set up a body of devoted men and women in every country who can speedily distribute aid to victims of floods and earthquakes.

More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster, it would be more effective to give other forms of help during normal times. A common proverb says, "Give me a fish and I eat for a day, teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime." If we follow this wise saying, it would be right to teach people from less developed nations to take care of themselves. For example, a country could share its technology with another. This could be in simple areas like agriculture or in more complex areas like medical and health care or even in building satellites.

Even a small country is able to help less developed nations. Sometimes what is taken for granted, like the setting up of a water purification plant or the administration of a school, could be useful for countries which are looking about to solve common problems. It does not cost much to share such simple things. Exchange students could be attached for a number of months or years and learn the required craft while on the site. They can then take their knowledge back to their homelands and if necessary come back from time to time to clear doubts or to update themselves. Such aid will be truly helpful and there is no chance of it being temporary or of it falling into the wrong hands.

Many countries run extensive courses in all sorts of skills. It will not cost much to include deserving foreigners in these courses. Besides giving effective help to the countries concerned, there is also the build-up of friendships to consider. Giving direct help by giving materials may be effective in the short run and must continue to be given in the event of emergencies. However, in the long run what is really effective would be the sharing of knowledge.

24．The second paragraph is developed mainly ________.

A．by analysis. B．by process. C．by example. D．by contrast.

25．Which aid is likely to fall into the wrong hands?

A．A medical team. B．Financial support.

C．A water plant. D．An exchange program.

26．What does the author try to express in the underlined sentence?

A．Providing food is vital.

B．Leaning to fish is helpful.

C．Looking after others is important.

D．Teaching techniques is vital.

27．What can we infer about international aid from the passage?

A．It is facing difficulties.

B．It should be given in the form of materials

C．It has gained support by developed countries.

D．It is unnecessary during normal times.

C

The driver, Zhang Sai, wandered outside an apartment building in Wuhan, the central Chinese city at the heart of the Coronavirus (冠状病毒) outbreak. He had been ordered not to take food to customers' doors in order to minimize the risk of infection. But the woman on the phone was pleading, he recalled. The food was for her mother, who couldn't go down to meet him.

Mr. Zhang relented. He would drop off the order and sprint away. As he placed the bag on the floor, Mr. Zhang said, the door opened. Startled, he rushed away. Without thinking, he said, he jabbed the elevator button with his finger, touching a surface he feared could transmit the virus.

That was how Mr. Zhang, 32, found himself speeding back to his delivery station with one finger held high in the air, careful not to touch the rest of his hand—a quarantine in miniature. (小型隔离现场)

For many in China, delivery drivers like Mr. Zhang are the only connection to the outside world. Once a common but invisible presence on the streets of nearly every Chinese city, the drivers are now being praised as heroes.

Throughout China, at least 760 million people—almost a tenth of the world's population—face some form of household lockdown. The rules are particularly strict in Wuhan,

where government efforts to contain the virus have blocked most of the 11 million residents in their homes.

Each household can send someone out for necessities just once every three days. Many residents do not go outside at all, for fear of infection. Of the more than 2,100 deaths and nearly 75,000 infections linked to the new virus, the majority have been in Wuhan.

But people still have to eat, which is why Mr. Zhang and many delivery drivers find themselves on the street each day. As Wuhan and the rest of China stay at home, they have become the country's vital arteries, keeping fresh meat, vegetables and other supplies flowing to those who need them.

It is grueling and dangerous work. Mr. Zhang, who works for Hema, a supermarket chain owned by the tech giant Alibaba, crisscrosses the city armed only with the face masks and hand sanitizer that his company supplies each morning.

The epidemic (疫情) has brought some unexpected bright spots. Before, Mr. Zhang said, he sometimes ran red lights during rush hour in order to meet his delivery goals for the day. Now, the streets are empty. He has no problem getting around.

People are nicer, too. Some customers hardly opened the door or avoided eye contact. After the outbreak erupted, everyone said thank you.

28．Why did Zhang Sai wander outside an apartment building in Wuhan? Because ________. A．He was unwilling to take food to customers' doors.

B．He was afraid of being infected by the Coronavirus outbreak.

C．The woman on the phone forbade him to to take food to her door.

D．He was forbidden to take food to customers' doors.

29．Which of the following can describe the work of delivery drivers after the outbreak of the epidemic?

A．Risky and important.

B．Necessary and light-hearted.

C．Easy and creative.

D．Valuable and hard-working.

30．What does the underlined part "bright spots" mean in the ninth paragraph?

A．Marks on something. B．Bright places.

C．Difficult situations. D．Good things in a bad situation.

31．Why did people become nicer and say thank you to delivery drivers after the outbreak erupted?

A．Because people need them to deliver necessities.

B．Because people have realized the value of their job.

C．Because of the outbreak of the epidemic.

D．Because of the danger of infection.

D

Clothing rental (租用) is a hot new industry and retailers (零售商) are demanding to get on board in hopes of attracting green shoppers.

But is renting fashion actually more environmentally-friendly than buying it, and if so, how much more? Journalist and author Elizabeth Cline investigated this question and concluded that it's not sustainable as it seems.

Take shipping, for example, which has to go two ways if an item is rented—receiving and

returning. Cline writes that consumers transportation has the second largest carbon footprint of our collective fashion habit after manufacturing.

She writes, "An item ordered online and then returned can send out 20 kilograms of carbon each way, and increases up to 50 kilograms for rush shipping. By comparison, the Carbon impact of a pair of jeans purchased from a physical store and washed and worn at home is 33.4 kilograms, according to a 2015 study by Levi's."

Then there's the burden of washing, which has to happen for every item when it's returned, regardless of whether or not it was worn. For most rental services, this usually means drying, cleaning, a high impact and polluting process. All the rental services that Cline looked into have replace perchloroethylene (氯乙烯), a carcinogenic (致癌的) air pollutant, still used by 70 percent of US dry cleaners, with alternatives, although there aren't great either.

Lastly, Cline fears that rental services will increase our appetite for fast fashion, simply because it's so easily accessible. There's something called "sharing-washing" that makes people waste more precisely because a product or service is shared and thus is regarded as more eco-friendly. Uber is one example of this, advertised as "a way to share rides and limit car ownership," and yet it has been proven to discourage walking, bicycling, and public transportation use."

Renting clothes is still preferable to buying them cheap and throwing them in the dustbin after a few wears, but we shouldn't let the availability of these services make us too satisfied. There's an even better step—that's wearing what is already in the closet.

32．What is Elizabeth Cline's attitude toward clothing rental?

A．Unfavorable. B．Approving. C．Objective. D．Enthusiastic.

33．The Uber example in Paragraph 6 indicates that ________.

A．rental service are on the rise.

B．clothing rental will be as successful as Uber.

C．renting clothes might make people lose interest in fashion.

D．renting clothes might waste more than expected.

34．The author suggests that we should ________.

A．give up renting any clothing.

B．make full use of clothes we've possessed.

C．rent clothes rather than buy them.

D．Purchase inexpensive clothes.

35．What is the passage mainly about?

A．Clothing rental is a new fashion.

B．Clothing rental is retailers' preference.

C．Renting clothes is not that eco-friendly.

D．Renting clothes business is in a dilemma.

Read, read, read.

____40____. Reading is a gateway into other worlds and into the minds of your fellow human beings.
