Dear Peter,
Glad to receive your letter asking me for some advice on the interview for the Confucius Institute scheduled for this coming Wednesday. I’m writing to remind you of what to prepare for.
It would be wise of you to read some books about Confucius, which helps to better understand traditional Chinese cultures. It would also be beneficial to learn a few Chinese greetings. Additionally, wearing Han-style clothing will make you stand out among the candidates and impress the interviewers greatly.
I do hope my proposal could be practical. Wish you good luck!
Yours Sincerely,
Li Hua
67.Paragraph1：
At first，Kayla felt disappointed at her parents’ plan for the holiday．How eagerly she wanted to go to out to play with her friends! She was against the annoying plan from the bottom of her heart，but she had no choice．First，Kayla was arranged to wash the breakfast dishes．After that，she was asked to give their puppy a bath．She knew it was a hard task，which needed a lot of tiring，careful and patient work．She has begun the work with great unwillingness．
Paragraph 2：
But things began to change as she was doing the chores．Brushing the puppy，she found it was a lot of fun with so many soap bubbles．Then it was on to yard work where Kayla helped to pick up sticks．She pretended the small sticks were basketballs，and shot them into a large trash can．So the work was done with great pleasure．Kayla felt proud to see how much better the yard looked．When she finished her meaningful chores，Kayla enjoyed relaxing in her tree house．The lemonade tasted wonderful after a hard day of work．2021-2022学年福建省建瓯市芝华中学高二上学期第二次月考英语试题时间：120分钟 分值：150分

Lauren sighed. She’d just received an email from her boss, Gus, saying that the product plan she’d been working on wasn’t going to be signed off after all. It didn’t make any sense. A week ago she was in a meeting with Gus and it seemed he was really interested in it. Sure, he hadn’t made much eye contact, and he kept looking out of the window. But she’d just put that down to him being busy.
If Lauren had known a little more about body language, she’d have realized that Gus was trying to tell her he wasn’t sold on her idea. He just wasn’t using words.
Body language is the unspoken element (要素) of communication that people use to show their true feelings, for example their gestures, facial expressions and postures. When we are able to read these signs, it works to our advantage. For example, it can help us know about people’s reaction to what we say so that we can know what we should say to make communication easier.
Difficult conversations are an uncomfortable fact of life. Perhaps you’ve had to deal with a difficult customer, or needed to talk to someone about his/ her poor performance. Often these situations are complicated (使复杂化) by feelings of nervousness, stress, or even anger. People may try to hide them, but these feelings often show through body language.
If someone is showing the behavior, he may be uninterested or unhappy: arms folded in front of the body; body turned away from you; eyes looking downwards. However, if someone really wants to hear what you said...
24. What happened to Lauren
A. She couldn’t understand what her boss said.
B. She fell far short of her boss’s expectations.
C. She misunderstood Gus’s body language.
D. She couldn’t work out a product plan.
25. What is the main idea of the third paragraph
A. The meaning of body language.
B. The influence of body language.
C. The way to make full use of body language.
D. The reasons why people use body language.
26. What does the fourth paragraph tell us about body language
A. It leads to misunderstandings.
B. It helps us tell others’ feelings.
C. There are similarities in body language.
D. It is more useful than spoken language.
27. What will probably be talked about in the following paragraph
A. Body language that shows worry.
B. Body language that shows relief.
C. Body language that shows gratitude.
D. Body language that shows interests.
C
Saltwater and dry desert climate may not seem good for growing healthy produce, but that is exactly what a group of scientists has managed to do. Researchers from the UK-based Seawater Greenhouse Company have discovered a good way to farm fruit and vegetables simply by using solar power and saltwater for watering and cooling in dry areas.
The company has developed plantation (种植园) projects in dry areas such as Australia, Abu Dhabi, Somaliland, Oman, and Tenerife. Although these places are dry, the plantations are able to grow thousands of pounds of produce simply by making “cooling houses” out of thick walls of cardboard (硬纸板). While glass greenhouses are designed to keep gardens wet and warm, the cardboard walls use “evaporative cooling (蒸发冷却)” to keep the inside of the plantations wet and cool. An exciting new study says that plants grow well down below solar panels (太阳能板) and they produce more energy. The design of the waving-cardboard panels helps to cool down the wind coming from the outside. At the same time, a small solar-powered machine offers seawater at the top of the panels so that it can drop down through the walls of the cardboard for evaporation. This “evaporative cooling” skill creates the perfect conditions for farming produce in the dry areas. Additionally, since the seawater is repeatedly collected, the salt can be left onto the outside of the walls. Not only does this help to make the cardboard strong, it can also be collected and sold for increasing income.
According to Seawater Greenhouse founder Charlie Paton, you would only need about 10 square miles of “cooling houses” to feed all of Somaliland, which is a country of about four million people. Upon completing the company’s Somaliland project in November 2017, it now produces about 300 to 750 tons of tomatoes every year. Paton says that he is very excited for his company to start even more projects in dry areas around the world.
28. What kind of places will welcome plantation projects
A. Cold areas with less sunlight.
B. Dry and hot areas near the sea.
C. Cold and wet places.
D. Dry desert areas.
29. What is the advantage of the plantation project in dry areas
A. It can help plants grow quicker.
B. It doesn’t produce waste materials.
C. It gets extra income by cooling seawater.
D. It uses solar energy instead of electricity.
30. Why is Somaliland mentioned in the last paragraph
A. To show the high output of the project.
B. To tell people the need for food there.
C. To let people know its agriculture.
D. To introduce its large population.
31. What’s the best title for the text
A. The farming conditions of dry areas
B. The wide use of solar panels in farming
C. Helping solve Somaliland’s food problems
D. Using saltwater to grow produce in dry areas
D
Bamboo is one of the nature's most surprising plants. Many people call this plant a tree, but it is a kind of grass.
Like other kinds of grass, a bamboo plant may be cut very low to the ground, but it will grow back very quickly. A Japanese scientist recorded one bamboo plant that grew almost 1.5 meters in 24 hours! Bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world except Europe. There are more than 1,000 kinds of bamboo that grow around the world on both mountains and plains (平原)．
Not all bamboo looks the same. Some bamboo plants are very thin. They may only grow to be a few centimeters wide while others may grow to more than 30 centimeters across. This plant also comes in different colors, from yellow to black to green.
Many Asian countries have been using bamboo for hundreds of years. They often use bamboo for building new buildings. As a matter of fact, the cables (绳索) that hold up the hanging bridge across the Min River in Sichuan are made of bamboo. The bridge has been in use for more than 1,000 years, and is still holding strong.
In Africa, engineers are teaching poor farmers how to find water using bamboo. These African countries need cheap ways to find water because they have no money，and their fields often die from no rain and no water. It seems that bamboo is one of the best things they can use. Bamboo pipes and drills (钻) can help to make the poor thirsty fields to be watered.
32. How is bamboo like grass
A. It is thin and easy to cut. B. It grows everywhere.
C. It grows quickly after its cut short. D. It is short and green.
33. The sentence “while others may grow to more than 30 centimeters across” means “Some other bamboo plants may grow to be very ________.”
A. short B. strong C. thick D. tall
34. From the text we know ________.
A. most people call bamboo plant trees
B. bamboo plant may grow 4.5 meters in three days
C. the bamboo plant changes its colors when it grows
D. a bridge held by bamboo cable was built thousands of years ago
35. Why did the engineers teach the poor farmers in Africa to make use of bamboo
A. Because it is cheap. B. Because it is colorful.
C. Because it drills fast. D. Because it is used by Asians.
