1．If you're looking to fully experience Africa's breathtaking scenery ，and have an eye for adventure，then there's only one place to be．Here，inside Africa picks four of the best hikes from across the continent．
1．Kilimanjaro
Make it to the top of Tanzania's 5，895-meter Kilimanjaro，and you'll be standing at Africa's highest point．The mountain is Africa's most-visited hiking destination，attracting tens of thousands of tourists and adventures every year．
You don't have to a technical climber to climb Mount Kilimanjaro；you just need not be pretty physically fit．There are six routes to choose from．difficulty，scenery and success．No special equipment
2．Atlas mountains
The High Atlas is an impressive mountainous range in central Morocco that hosts North Africa's highest peak．Mount Toubkal ，at 4，165 meters．There's a variety of routes to follow during your climb but inexperienced climbers should note that the hike through the mountain's challenging zones is quite demanding．
3．Mount Kenya
A long-extinct volcano．Mount Kenya is Africa's second-highest peak，at 5，199 meters．
Lying just south of the equator，the mountain's deep valleys and diverse wildlife will guarantee you wonderful scenery and a fantastic hiking experience．
The climb，however，to the mountain's steep ice-capped peaks is quite challenging，making it the most technical，probably，in that East African area．
4．Mount Meru
Mount Meru may forever exist in the shadow of its neighbor，Kilimanjaro，but
Tanzania 's second-highest mountain （4，565 meters） has its own devotees．
It's less known，but Mount Meru is for the true enthusiast who wants to experience what very few people actually do．
Mount Meru is often used by mountaineers to accustom themselves before trying to conquer Kilimanjaro，or by those wanting a hike with the local Massai．

2．I watched my Dad close the door．It was a really cold night in dead silence and I was all alone at home．My parents left because they had been running fever for several days and they were showing other symptoms of COVID-19．It was the 9th day of Wuhan lockdown starting on January 23．
The virus we now know as COVID-19 is somehow fearsome partly because it does not discriminate（區(qū)別對待） in choosing who it infects．But that is only partly true．All the evidence suggest that it can be merciless to older people，so I was wondering whether my parents would make it and whether we would ever take family photos，which my parents and I had talked about during the Spring Festival holiday．
On their second day away my parents called and asked me how I was．We talked using FaceTime，and the moment I saw mom lying there with an oxygen mask and my dad could not talk without breathing heavily，I realized that I had to live on my own．
But two weeks later，I came across a fever and had to go into quarantine（隔離） and be put under medical observations for 14 days．Fortunately，my illness turned out to be due to a bacterial infections but not COVID-19．
Everything there was hectic，there seemed to be a shortage of medical staff and materials were in short supply．Even though the doctors and nurses were covered from head to toe，I could see how tired they were when I looked into their bloodshot eyes．
They would work a whole day preparing for new patients and seemed incredibly apologetic for not having everything that was needed．Most of the patients were really understanding，but of course there were those who were not，and complained loudly，but all the doctors and nurses tried their best to deal with it in a calming way．And they are all from other cities like Shanghai and Guangzhou，and some of them are just three or four years older than me．
When the quarantine was over，every patient effusively thanked the workers for what they had done，but the answer they received was exactly the same： "That's what we're here for．"
（1）When did the author's parents leave her for the hospital？
A．January 23
B．January 30
C．January 31
D．February 1
（2）What does the underlined phrase "make it" in Paragraph 2 mean？
A．succeed
B．join in
C．a(chǎn)rrive
D．survive
（3）What can we learn according to the passage？
A．Both the author and her parents got infected with COVID-19．
B．The majority of the patients understood the doctors and nurses．
C．The patients apologized to the doctors and nurses because they were too tired．
D．The author didn't get infected with COVID-19 because the virus can only infect the older．
（4）What may the author think of the medical workers according to the passage？
A．a(chǎn)dmirable
B．outgoing
C．impatient
D．thankful組卷：4引用：2難度：0.7 -
3．Organic food is very popular．It is also expensive．Some organic food costs twice as much as non-organic food，but new parents and pet owners are willing to pay up to 200% more for organic food．However，there are people who think it is a waste of money．
There is one main difference between organic and non-organic food．Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals，such as pesticides（殺蟲劑）．In many countries organic foods have special labels．These guarantee that the products are natural．
Some people think organic means locally grown．Originally this was true．Over time organic farming became more difficult．The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply．Small companies had to sell out to large companies．There weren't enough organic ingredients（原料），such as grain and cattle．This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business．Today，many large companies have an organic line of products．
Is organic food more nutritious？This is part of the debate．Many farmers and consumers believe it is．They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems such as cancer．Many health professionals disagree．Few studies prove that organic foods prevent health problems．Health specialists worry more about bacteria（病毒），such as E．coli and salmonella．These can get into contact with organic and non- organic food．Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully．Handling meat carefully is important too．
Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better．Is tastier food worth the extra money？This is a matter of opinion．Whether it is healthier or not may require more research．However，organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry．
（1）What is probably the major concern of organic food consumers？
A．Price．
B．Safety．
C．Freshness．
D．Variety．
（2）What is the doctors' suggestion？
A．Grow your own food．
B．Reduce the use of pesticides．
