Concerned about staying safe in your hotel? This list of Hotel Safety Tips will give you the tools and techniques
you need to feel and be safe. From years of staying in hotels (mostly for work) we’ve learned how to minimize the
risk of hotel theft or other hotel risks by employing the simple but effective hotel safety strategics listed below.
Always lock the door
All hotels have door latches that add an extra security to the door. It won’t stop the most determined thieves, but
it will slow them down and for the less ambitious it might be enough to scare them off. If your door has a manual lock,
be sure to flip it locked. You can’t have enough protection.
Avoid leaving valuables in your room
Numerous staff members have master keys that can open every room in the hotel and the cleaning staff enters
your room at least once a day. While most are professionals and wouldn’t dream of taking anything, there’s no need to
tempt them by leaving your diamond ring on the bed or laptop in plain sight. Always take valuables with you IF you
can.
Use the privacy signs whenever possible
If you do have to leave your room make sure you hang the privacy sign. If the guest is in the room, hotel staff
2
may avoid the guest. You can also turn your TV on to further indicate someone’s in the room improving the chances
your stuff will be safe. This hotel safety tip obviously doesn’t apply if you desire your room being serviced.
Learn the hotel exits
If you’ve ever experienced escaping from a hotel at 2 in the morning for a hotel fire, it’s not pleasant! Take a
quick glance at the exit plan posted in the room and be ready. Don’t fetch your luggage when you exit your room in a
fire situation.
21. What does the underlined word “tempt” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Persuade. B. Refuse. C. Threat. D. Attract.
22. What are you advised to do if you stay in a hotel?
A. Make sure the cleaning staff clean your room every day.
B. Always turn your TV on while you are in the room.
C. Make sure the privacy sign works well.
D. Avoid leaving your stuff in the room.
23. In a fire situation, you should ________.
A. post an exit plan in the room in advance
B. escape immediately without taking any luggage
C. look through the exit plan carefully before leaving
D. stay in the room until 2 in the morning
B
If the three Rs (reduce, reuse and recycle) is a guideline to save the planet, garbage-sorting is where the efforts
start. Since May 1, Beijing has started to carry out mandatory garbage-sorting in new efforts to better protect the
environment. Under the new regulation, residents are required to classify household waste into four categories:
kitchen, recyclable, hazardous and other waste. People who fail to sort their garbage properly can be fined from 50
to 200 yuan, reported Xinhua.
Some residential communities in Beijing have introduced rewards to encourage residents to sort their garbage.
According to Xinhua, residents can earn points by classifying their domestic waste correctly and then exchange the
points they accumulate for daily necessities such as soap.
Garbage sorting practices have reached over 70 percent of housing estates in 18 cities, including Shanghai,
Xiamen and Hangzhou, according to the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development. Shanghai first
enacted a mandatory garbage-sorting regulation in July 2019 and has had a 90 percent compliance (服从) rate
among its housing estates.
According to a report by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, over 90 percent of the public believe that
garbage-sorting is important for the protection of the environment. However, garbage-sorting is still a big problem
in China. Only 30 percent of participants said they think they are completely sorting their waste, the report noted.
According to Xinhua, it’s partly because many people lack the willingness to sort their own waste. Also, some
previous garbage regulations didn’t include fines for people who failed to obey them.
“It’s a must to have a legal guarantee to promote garbage sorting,” Liu Jianguo, a professor from Tsinghua
University, told China Daily, “Aside from China, many countries like Germany, Spain and Britain, also ask people
to sort waste into specific categories. In Japan, there is a fixed time for the sorting of each kind of garbage and
littering. ”
can we learn about the new regulation in Beijing?
A .It hasn’t been put into use yet.
B .Residents can sort the garbage as they like.
C .Those who can’t sort the garbage as the new rule requires shall be fined.
3
D .People can get money if they classify their domestic waste correctly.
’s the problem in garbage sorting in China?
A .Most people are unaware of its importance in protecting environment.
B .Only residents in big cities can sort the trash correctly.
C .Some people don’t want to take the trouble to sort the garbage.
D .The government doesn’t have enough money to support garbage sorting.
can we infer from Liu Jianguo’s words?
A .It’s difficult to carry out garbage sorting in China.
B .We should learn from Japan.
C .People in developed countries can better sort the garbage.
D .Some laws in garbage-sorting are needed.
’s the best title of the passage?

e sorting, a new start in China

Muscles make an excellent vaccine administration (
药物的施用
) site because muscle tissue contains important
immune cells. These immune cells recognize the antigen(
抗原
), a tiny piece of a virus or bacteria introduced by the
vaccine that stimulates an immune response. In the case of the COVID-19 vaccine the immune cells in the muscle
tissue pick up these antigens and present them to the lymph nodes(
淋巴结
). Injecting the vaccine into muscle tissue
keeps the vaccine localized, allowing immune cells to sound the alarm to other immune cells and get to work. Once a
vaccine is recognized by the immune cells in the muscle, these cells carry the antigen to lymph vessels, which
transport the antigen-carrying immune cells into the lymph nodes. Lymph nodes, important parts of our immune
system, contain more immune cells that recognize the antigens in vaccines and start the immune process of creating
antibodies.
Muscle tissue also tends to keep vaccine reactions localized. Injecting a vaccine into the deltoid (
三角肌
)
muscle may result in local inflammation(
发炎
) or soreness at the injection site. If certain vaccines are injected into fat
issue, the chance of painful redness or swelling increases because fat tissue has poor blood supply, leading to poor
absorption of some vaccine components.
Yet another deciding factor in vaccine administration location is the size of the muscle.
Adults and children aged three and older tend to receive vaccines in their upper arm in the deltoid. Younger children
receive their vaccines mid-thigh(
大腿
) because their arm muscles are smaller and less developed.
Another consideration during vaccine administration is convenience and patient acceptability.
Can you imagine taking down your pants at a clinic with strangers around? Rolling up your sleeve is much easier and
more preferred.
28. How many reasons are mentioned for the vaccines given in the muscle?
A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5
29. Why do muscles make a good vaccine administration site?
A. Muscle tissue contains vital immune cells.
B. Muscle tissue stimulates immune responses.
C. Muscles can easily recognize bacteria.
D. Muscles can prevent reproduction of viruses.
30. What could be a result of injecting vaccines into fat issues?
4
A. Poor blood supply. B. Local pain.
C. Rapid fat loss. D. Better absorption.
31. Where is the passage most likely taken from?
A. an advertisement B.a novel C. a speech D. a journal
D
The problem of robocalls has gotten so bad that many people now refuse to pick up calls from numbers they
don’t know. By next year, half of the calls we receive will be scams (欺诈). We are finally waking up to the
severity of the problem by supporting and developing a group of tools, apps and approaches intended to prevent
scammers from getting through. Unfortunately, it’s too little, too late. By the time these “solutions” become
widely available, scammers will have moved onto cleverer means. In the near future, it’s not just going to be the
number you see on your screen that will be in doubt. Soon you will also question whether the voice you’re
hearing is actually real.
That’s because there are a number of powerful voice manipulation (处理) and automation technologies that are
about to become widely available for anyone to use. At this year’s I/O Conference, a company showed a new
voice technology able to produce such a convincing human-sounding voice that it was able to speak to a
receptionist and book a reservation without detection.
These developments are likely to make our current problems with robocalls much
worse. The reason that robocalls are a headache has less to do with amount than precision. A decade of data
breaches (数据侵入) of personal information has led to a situation where scammers can easily learn your
mother’s name, and far more. Armed with this knowledge, they’re able to carry out individually targeted
campaigns to cheat people. This means, for example, that a scammer could call you from what looks to be a
familiar number and talk to you using a voice that sounds exactly like your bank teller’s, tricking you into
“confirming” your address, mother’s name, and card number. Scammers follow money, so companies will be the
worst hit. A lot of business is still done over the phone, and much of it is based on trust and existing relationships.
Voice manipulation technologies may weaken that gradually.
We need to deal with the insecure nature of our telecom networks. Phone carriers and
consumers need to work together to find ways of determining and communicating what is real. That might mean
either developing a uniform way to mark videos and images, showing when and who they were made by, or
abandoning phone calls altogether and moving towards data-based communications—using apps like FaceTime
or WhatsApp, which can be tied to your identity.
Credibility is hard to earn but easy to lose, and the problem is only going to get harder
from here on.
does the author feel about the solutions to problem of robocalls?
A. Panicked. B. Disappointed. C. Embarrassed. D. Confused.
. advantage of the new technologies, scammers can
A. start campaigns rapidly
C. aim at victims precisely
does the passage imply?
B. damage databases easily
D. spread information widely
A. Honesty is the best policy. B. Credibility holds the key to development.
C. There are more solutions than problems. D. Technologies can be double-edged.
of the following would be the best title for the passage?
Robocalls Are About to Get More Dangerous
Is to Blame for the Problem of Robocalls
