Presenting the entry at 6 pm on Feb. 22.A 28-year-old young man, Nilay Agarwal, says that he had always dreamed of doing his bit for removing the root of hunger but it was only after a life-changing incident that he dared to step out of his comfort zone to do something about it.In 2018, Nilay lost a friend, young and full of potential, due to a car accident, which made him realize how privileged he was to be here with all the dreams that he had. So he decided not to waste a single moment and started contributing his time to a noble cause.With zero knowledge about setting up a social organization, Nilay simply made a few cookies and distributed them in a nearby welfare organization at first. Employing social media, he uploaded a video of the activity online. "At first, people laughed at me. They didn't believe I was serious or had any long-term plans. But I knew I was going to go on until my actions effected a change J he says.When one after the other similar deeds by this lone fighter were noticed, people gave credence to his efforts and started coming forward to join him. Sankalp Tandon, one of Nilay's acquaintances, decided to help him upon seeing his work, Afterwards, the Vishalakshi Foundation was set up in memory of his friend. Then it developed its first program the Project Hunger.As he says, no one has a stronger will than the youth of a country. Considering this as his only resource, he started encouraging students of Deli University to join the program. He first appointed some leaders in 22 colleges. They then went on reaching out to others to join the organization and form volunteer groups in their colleges.

For the next 6.5 hours,she's not allowed to turn off the computer's camera except for a lunch break. In her first full week of fourth grade, she has already been reduced to tears twice because she feels a terrible pain in her head from staring at the screen.Anxiety and extreme tiredness caused by never-ending video meetings are no longer unique to adults working from home during the lockdown. Some schools have started the fall term with remote learning setups. Many schools are using videoconferencing software not just to teach, but fbr the entire day to keep students on task.Alix Gallagher, Director of Strategic Partnerships at Policy Analysis fbr California Education, recommends a mixture of lessons that deliver information, like a video or a lecture, plus activities actively connected with the lessons, like practicing writing or doing math problems. After that, a student can use a tool to discuss what they have learned and actually interact with the teacher and other students.“Real classrooms involve all kinds of interaction, with the teacher and among the students, so thafs what teachers find so difficult to replicate online,“ said Sonia Livingstone, a political science professor. She recommends that teachers break up their instruction during the day.Whatever their schedule, screens are an unavoidable part of learning remotely fbr millions of students this term. Videoconferencing, when used by teachers to interact with students, can be a healthy social activity fbr kids learning at home. But tasks that are just listening and watching might be less valuable if done too much in order to fill up a school day. “It's not just about the problem of screens, but about whafs happening on those screens/ said Josh Golin, Executive Director of the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood.8. Why does Bametfs daughter cry?A. Her lunchtime is shortened.B. She suffers from headaches.C. Her computer's camera must be always on.D. She is under great academic pressure.9.

Students? screen time should be limited.C. Online courses' content should be stressed.B. Expand.D. Copy.B. The right number of tasks should be given.D. Learning schedules should be more flexible.Experts from Cornell University aim to make the process of chemical recycling simpler, which is an emerging（新兴的）industry that deals with waste products.You Fengqi, a professor of Energy Systems Engineering and doctoral student Zhao Xiang detail a framework combining several mathematical models and methods that factor in everything from chemical recycling equipment and processes, to environmental effects and the market for end products. The framework is the first thorough analysis of its kind that quantifies （量化）the life cycle environmental impacts of plastic waste chemical recycling, such as climate change.Billions of tons of plastic have been produced since the 1950s, yet 91 % of it has not been recycled. While growing landfills and polluted natural areas are among the concerns, the failure to reduce and reuse plastic is also seen by some as a missed economic opportunity.That's why chemical recycling attracts the attention of the waste industry and researchers like You. You's framework can calculate the amount of the environmental consequences of market dynamics - the forces that impact prices and behaviors of producers and consumers in an economy, which typical life cycle assessments would overlook. It's also the first to combine superstructure optimization（最优7f匕）with life cycle analysis, market information and economic balance.The framework stresses the benefits of life cycle optimization when compared with more traditional analyzing tools. In one case, to maximize economic outcomes while minimizing environmental impacts, life cycle optimization produced a more than 14% decrease in greenhouse gas and a more than 60% reduction of photochemical air pollution when compared with the previous life cycle assessment approach.While the analysis gives industry experts and policy makers a general pathway for advancing chemical recycling, many choices and variables along the technological path must be considered. “There's always something we can adjust in the technology and process, and that's the difficult part,“ said You, who added that as new chemical recycling techniques emerge and the market changes, life cycle optimization will remain a powerful tool fbr guiding the emerging industry. 12. What does the third paragraph serve as?A. A comment on plastic pollution.B. A lead-in to an economic opportunity.C. The background of You's invention.D. The analysis of waste recycling's future.13. What is the disadvantage of traditional life cycle assessments?A. They can be only used in the waste industry.B. They collect rather limited market information.C. They don't take economic balance into consideration.D. They don't quantify market dynamics' environmental effect.14. How does You find life cycle optimization?A. It depends much on recycling technology.C. It is hand to be applied to chemical recycling.15. What is the text mainly about?A. A new method helps ease chemical recycling.C. Recycling waste becomes an emerging industry.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）B. It works well in changing circumstances.D. It is the key part of life cycle analysis.B. Life cycle optimization slows plastic pollution.D. A balance is found between nature and industry.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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Defensiveness is a natural reaction when you feel attacked. 16 And it's one way you escape responsibility fbryour actions when facing a difficult or unpleasant person or situation. In conversations, though, defensiveness can quickly destroy any hopes of understanding and moving forward. So how can you respond to defensiveness?Meeting defensiveness with defensiveness is likely to increase the tension rather than remove it. Saying "don't take it personally probably won't help either. 17 So arguing with a defensive person, becoming defensive yourself, or being judgmental will confirm their anxiety. You should avoid getting defensive in return.When a person is defensive, they're acting on emotion. Trying to reason with someone in the face of strong emotions is unlikely to be productive. If emotions are running high, you may want to walk away fbr a while, collect your thoughts, and come back to the conversation later until you feel in control. 18One way to manage defensiveness and the dysregulation（调节异常）that comes with it is to follow some communication ground rules. For example, you might agree that each person gets the chance to speak without interruption while the other person listens. 19 Then switch roles. In this way, you can add structure to your conversation.20 Doing that may help you take things less personally and avoid getting them to think that you9re judging them. Ask questions with a genuine interest, and try to understand why they feel defensive. If it's a response to something you said or did or your tone, apologize fbr that and try a different approach next time.A. Getting defensive protects you and your feelings.B. You should get curious about the other person's opinion.C. If this is the case, tell the other person that you need space.D. Defensiveness is usually bom out of fear of refusal or judgment.E. It makes sense that you want to pick up helpful tips on coping with it.F. There9re also situations where defensiveness creates an unhealthy state.G. The listener can reflect the information received and confirm the speaker's feelings. 第二部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节（共20小题；每小题15分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。As a little girl, Dr. Emma dreamed of one day becoming an opera singer.
