I had passed the higher secondary examination when I had to give up further studies. I had to be earning something to help the family budget. One day a letter came to me from an office for an interview. I was both happy and nervous; I was the only teen.
On that particular morning, I got ready. I put on the best clothes. They didn't catch people's eye, but they were clean and suitable. I took particular care to clean and polish my pair of shoes. Knowing the difficulties of transport, I started with plenty of time on hand.
I reached the office before the appointed time. When my turn came, I was trembling, I think, but I went quietly and entered closing the door carefully behind me. The manager asked me to be seated. He asked me why I was giving up my studies and remarked that I seemed to be too young for the job. I said that I was willing to learn and to work as hard as possible. “Have you any other plans ” he asked me. I said that if I got the job, I would improve my qualifications by joining an evening class. “Young man”, he said, “If we do select you, you will have to work right from the bottom and work your way up depending on your performance. ” I replied that I was young without experience and I couldn't expect anything better. But if I failed, it would not be due to any lack of willingness on my part.
It was my first interview, and I know it would not be the last. So I was not very much excited. On the contrary, I felt easy that I had gone through it and got some experience. But I did get the job all right. And here I am writing this essay on leave from office, sitting for my first university examination.

This is not a problem in Munich even if it is already the afternoon. The last light of the day can always be enjoyed. Here are four hiking tours for late risers and after-work athletes. Let’s get out into nature quickly.
The Sundown Tour
With a bit of luck, after 5 p. m. you will have the whole view to yourself. Lake Walchensee lies below, opposite is the Herzogstand mountain, with the red sun setting below it. If you are walking down the mountain in the dark, however, you should always have headlamps with you, otherwise it will become too dangerous.
The Quick Tour
Sometimes the god stuff is so much closer than you think, on the Neureuth mountain, for example. The tour from the railway station in Tegermsee up to the mountain is comparably short and therefore suitable for all walkers who just want to stretch their legs after work has finished.
The Railway Tour
The greatest advantage of the Laber for late-in-the-day leisure walkers lies, however, in the mountain railway: its last trip down the mountain doesn’t leave until between 4:30 p.m. and 5 p.m. So you do not need to worry whether you still have enough time for the relaxing return journey.
The Cycling Tour
Who says that people who like to take exercise later on in the day always have to walk Even many Munich residents forget that, in addition to the river Isar, there is a river in the city which is just as beautiful. If you want to explore the river and the associated Wurmtal valley, rent a bike and follow the shore from Pasing over Grafelfing and Gauting as far as Starnberg.
1. Which tour best suits a tourist who prefers doing light exercise
A. The Sundown Tour. B. The Quick Tour.
C. The Railway Tour. D. The Cycling Tour.
2. What is needed to take the Cycling Tour
A. A headlamp. B. A guide. C. A mountain bike. D. A railway ticket.
3. What do the four tours have in common
A. Providing safety experience. B. Demanding a low budget.
C. Covering rivers and valleys. D. Suiting after-work tourists.

In 1955, at age 12, I became obsessed (着迷) with the idea of recording an album for our parents to do something in celebration of their wedding day. My sister, brother, and I would sing our favourite songs for them.
The recording was to be kept a secret from our parents. I found a local studio, Dunford Recordings, not too far from where we lived in Christchurch. I rang and asked the cost of making a record.
To pay for the recording, I saved the money I earned from helping my aunty Mae in the school holidays. I called a family friend and persuaded her to accompany us on the piano. We couldn’t practise with her for fear of being found out, so I got my sister and brother together and we worked out a routine.
I arranged with Aunty Mae, in strictest secrecy, to take us to the studio at the appointed time. We sang our first two songs a couple of times so they could select the best version, but by the time we got to the third song we were rather tired, so only recorded it once.
Outside the studio door, I had been holding the record very carefully but my sister snatched it from me and it rolled out of its jacket, down the stairs, bouncing onto the pavement and then onto the road. Gasp! Horror! Mercifully, it was undamaged.
The day came and we excitedly gave our precious present to our parents. They were surprised indeed. However, it never occurred to me that my parents bought a brand-new radiogram to play the record on.
My parents had been secretly warned by my aunt about our surprise, and unknown to us, they were downstairs in the appliance shop buying the radiogram while we were upstairs recording. They actually saw the record roll out onto the street.
Our recording has become a wonderful memory of the past.
4. Why did the author want to record an album at age 12
A. To celebrate their parents’ wedding day. B. To make money to support his family.
C. To found a local studio to play music. D. To satisfy his curiosity about radiogram.
5. How did the author get the money to pay for the recording
A. He got his sister and brother to earn money.
B. He borrowed money from a family friend.
C. He earned the money needed on his own.
D. He raised some money with his aunty Mae.
6. What were their parents doing when the record was being made in the studio
A. They were listening next to the door.
B. They were watching the record rolling.
C. They were playing in the appliance shop.
D. They were buying the radiogram downstairs.
7. Which of the following best describes the author

A boy shivered in the harsh Oslo winter, pathetically wrapping his arms around himself on a bus stop bench. He wasn’t wearing a coat and temperatures in the Norwegian capital regularly plunge to -10C during winter.
A heartbreaking scene, but the actions of the ordinary people who witnessed the difficult situation of 11-year-old Johanne Linnestad Flaaten were both joyous and inspiring.
A young woman sat next to the boy and noticed him rubbing his arms. She immediately asked him, “Don’t you have a jacket ”
“No, someone stole,” he replied. She questioned him and discovered he was on a school trip and was told to meet his teacher at the bus stop. She asked him the name of his school and where he was from as she selflessly covered her own coat around his shoulders.
Later, another older woman at first gave him her scarf, and then wrapped him in her large padded jacket.
Throughout the day, more and more people offered Johanne their gloves and even the coats off their backs as they waited for their bus.
Johanne’s predicament was a hidden camera experiment by Norwegian charity SOS Children’s Village as part of their winter campaign to gather donations to send much-needed coats and blankets to help Syrian children get through the winter. Many of the refugees have left their homes without winter clothing.
“People should care as much about children in Syria as they care about this boy,” Synne Runnine th information head of SOS Children’s Villages Norway, told The Local. She also noted that the child was a volunteer who was never in any danger during the filming.
24. Why did Johanne Linnestad Flaaten shiver on the bus stop bench
A. His parents couldn’t afford him a warm coat
B. Someone stole his jacket.

A. People’s care about Johanne is enough.
B. People’s care about children in Syria is not enough.
C. People should care more about children in Syria than they care about Johanne.
D. People should care more about Johanne than they care about children in Syria.
27. What is the best title for the passage

My work started in 2003 at my local animal shelter’s Adoption Department. It seems like such a long time ago. In the 13 years that have passed, more than 50,000 animals have passed the doors of the shelter. Most of them, I do not remember. But occasionally there are animals who stand out. Tabby was one such animal.
Tabby was one of the many homeless dogs. What’s more, she was blind and deaf. Tabby’s chances at adoption seemed remote at best. But one day a woman named Loretta came to the shelter. Her son, Gary, who suffered from epilepsy(癫痫)had seen Tabby’s picture on the shelter’s website. They were interested in meeting her! Most boys would want a puppy, a dog who could grow with him and run through grassy fields on summer days. Tabby would never be able to do that. But as they say, “love is blind.” After meeting her, they decided to adopt Tabby!
If Tabby’s story had simply ended with her successful adoption, it would still have been something very special indeed but it was what happened after her adoption that some might label as “magical”. As Gary and Tabby did everything together, they became so “in tun” with one another that Tabby began to telegraph Gary’s seizures(疾病发作)before they occurred, giving his family a warning that one was about to strike. What’s more, Gary seemed to be having fewer and fewer seizures since Tabby’s arrival.
How could it be There are some things that happen in this world that challenge all logic and understanding. Sometimes the best that we can do is to accept a miracle, which we didn’t attempt to explain. Because when you try to explain it, you lose the beauty and wonder of it all.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a frequent topic of conversation for most of us over the past year. As we dreamt of indoor dining, vacations, and hugging our friends again, my friend Ana texted that her mother, living in Brazil, had been infected by the coronavirus. I won’t go into details here, but the disruption to life in Brazil have been especially upsetting considering their social and cultural norms（规范）.
Ana is Brazilian, and I’m from the US. While living in New York City, we became fast friends despite the few awkward cultural differences I learned to deal with. She was comfortable with intimacy; I preferred to keep my distance. She liked the company of many; I liked the friendship of few. It was awkward for me to lean in for a quick hug, only to be embraced then kissed on the cheeks. To this day, I’m not an excellent cheek kisser, but I try. She is one of many people over the years who have educated me, in a way, about delighting in cultural difference.
I called Ana to check on her mother and I was primarily curious about how social and cultural norms have been affected. It’s difficult, said Ana, because the necessary health regulations are opposite to “what we believe and everything we know about living in a community and displaying feelings of love”, but she hasn’t given up hope. I asked if the shifts made during the pandemic will change cultural norms. “Absolutely not,” said Ana. This is who Brazilians are in nature and change doesn’t happen overnight. They spend a lot of time and energy investing in relationships, and the deeply rooted social conventions won’t change quickly.
Over the years, Ana has shared many stories that emphasize the differences in our upbringing. I delight in our differences, even if kissing on the cheek makes! me uncomfortable. We find our commonalities, like talking with our hands, being expressive, and valuing community. And we learn from our differences. COVID disrupted many things, but through all of this, Ana said, we must constantly be adjusting, understanding, and doing what’s best for our communities and the people we love.
24. Which of the following words can best replace the underlined word in Paragraph 1
A. Adjustment. B. Disturbance.
C. Commitment. D. Preference.
25. What can we learn about Ann from Paragraph 2
A. She is good at educating other people.
B. She enjoys the close contact with others.
C. She prefers to stay alone in her own comfort zone.
D. It took a long time for her to make friends with me.
26. Why doesn’t Ana think the pandemic will change social and cultural norms
A. Because the Brazilians are born to be sociable.
B. Because the social conventions are easy to change.
C. Because the health regulations consist with her beliefs.
D. Because Brazilians rarely value investment in relationships.
27. What would be the best title for the passage
A. My Attitude towards Friendship
B. A Valuable Lesson in the Pandemic
C. The Influence of COVID-19 on Life
D. My Acceptance of Cultural Differences

One of the greatest tests of a parent’s patience comes at night when you trying to get your children to fall asleep. You know you need to rock them, stroke their backs or just keep a comforting hand on them until they nod off.But that time is playing a zero-sum game(零和游戏)with your own need for sleep and something else you need to do:work, zone out on Netflix or just enjoy the quiet after the kids have gone to sleep.
When my older daughter was just a baby, I figured out a way to control my impatience: I’d count to 100,along with the slow back-and-forth sway or the calm and steady strokes of her back. It gave me the light at the end of the tunnel that almost always did the trick. My impatience would die down because I knew that I’d reach the goal.
The result was surprising. By not thinking over the activities waiting for me, I focused on my daughter instead. The numbers from 1 to 100 became the calm breath.I couldn’t hold complex thoughts on the top of counting, so deeper emotions surfaced, specifically love and appreciation of the small person I was holding and touching. I was less likely to get pulled away by unnecessary streams of thoughts and soon began to deeply enjoy these moments.
My daughter benefited from the extended touch as well. Science shows that the physical touch releases three chemicals in our brain associated with emotional and physical health benefits. These chemicals promote feelings of happiness and well-being, and increase pleasure while regulating mood and relieving anxiety. By holding and stroking our children, we’re conveying safety and trust, relieving stress and activating(激活)our bodies’ special nerves. This is what actual bonding with our child looks like.
My daughter is 1l years old now, and I still continue this nighttime ritual(惯例): Give her comforting and loving strokes and frequent hugs, maintaining a physical connection.
4. What probably causes parents to be extremely impatient at night
A. Making their children fall asleep.
B. Staying up late for extra work.
C. Facing too much housework.
D. Searching for information online.
5. What happened to the author when he was counting numbers
A. He got completely lost in thought.
B. He thought of traveling through the tunnel.
C. He came to realize his deep love for his child.

6. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Ways to calm ourselves down.
B. Advantages of the physical touch.
C. Benefits of keeping a good mood.
D. Roles of special chemicals in brains.
7. What could be the best title for the text
A. The challenge for children to fall asleep

Queen Elizabeth National Park is a place of outstanding beauty and extreme biodiversity. On a previous underwater assignment with my wife and photographic partner, Jennifer Hayes, we’d documented healthy coral reefs surrounded with fish, sharks, and crocodiles. We knew that time, increased tourism and climate change could make the park different—so 15 years later, we returned to see how it was going.
We were photographing some jellyfish. Jennifer, her back to me, was focused on something above her. Out of the corner of my viewfinder, I saw a sizable crocodile coming. As I began to take its photograph, I realized that the crocodile was going to swim directly between Jennifer and me. I started to make loud noises through my regulator and moved towards Jen, firing a burst of flash-lit shots to warn her that we had company. She quickly detected my signal and turned to meet our visitor.
She gave me a quick thumbs-up, nodded OK, and said “Hello, handsome” as she bent closer to take its photos. I admired her for treating the crocodile with respect, calm curiosity, and absolute joy. She didn’t feel threatened. She was familiar with this kind of crocodile in this particular place—and she had a big underwater camera housing that could double as a mighty shield (盾牌) if needed. After a few pictures the crocodile, unimpressed with us, swam downstream on its way to do other crocodile things. We continued our search for jellyfish.
There is always risk in our line of work. But this encounter highlighted the good news that we saw all around us here. The crocodile is an indicator animal, a symbol of a healthy ecosystem that can support top predators (捕食性动物). The easing of travel restrictions is bound to bring more tourists—so it’s vital to maintain a balance among ecotourism, exploration, and conservation. That’s possible if visitors adopt the same philosophy that we hold toward that curious crocodile. We enter Earth’s oceans on their terms, not our own.
24. What was the author’s purpose in returning to Queen Elizabeth National Park
A. To enjoy its beauty. B. To assess a document.
C. To check its ecosystem. D. To photograph jellyfish.
25. Why did Jennifer feel at ease with the crocodile
A. She met it before. B. She trusted her husband.
C. She could protect herself. D. She longed for its company.
26. What is the implied meaning of the underlined part in the last paragraph
A. Explore nature with curiosity.
B. Respect nature while exploring it.
C. Study nature while developing tourism.
D. Protect nature through biological research.

On the day he almost died, Kimbal Musk had food on the brain. The Internet startup talent and restaurateur had just arrived in Jackson Hole from a conference where chef Jamie Oliver had spoken about the benefits of healthy eating. This made Musk think a lot—how he might make a difference to the food industry—but beyond expanding his farm-to-table movement along with his restaurant, Musk hadn’t yet broken the code. Then he went sailing down a snowy slope (坡) and fell over, breaking his neck.
Musk eventually made a full recovery, but it involved spending two months on his back, which gave him plenty of time to come up with a plan. Since then, he has launched an initiative to put “learning gardens” in public schools across America; attracted Generation Z to the farming profession by changing shipping containers into high-tech, data-driven, year-round farms; and this year, is kicking off a new campaign to create one million at-home gardens.
Aimed at reaching low-income families, the Million Gardens Movement was inspired by the pandemic, as both a desire to feel more connected to nature and food insecurity have been at the forefront of so many people’s lives. “We were getting a lot of inquiries about gardening from people that had never gardened before,” says Musk. “People were looking to garden for a bunch of reasons: to save money on groceries, to improve the nutritional quality of their diets, or just to cure the boredom that came with the lockdown.”
The program offers free garden kits that can be grown indoors or outdoors, and will be distributed through schools that Musk’s non-profit, Big Green, has already partnered with. It also offers free courses on how to get the garden growing and fresh seeds and materials for the changing growing seasons. “It’s not difficult. Anyone can do this, no matter where you come from, no matter where you live. We are all able to grow something,” says Musk.
32. What inspired Musk to make a difference to food industry
A. The pandemic. B. A skiing accident.
C. Jamie Oliver’s speech. D. The farm-to-table movement.
33. What is a cause of people beginning gardening according to Musk
A. To get access to healthy food.
B. To make their house beautiful.
C. To make money by selling garden produce.
D. To build up their strength during the pandemic.
34. What does the Million Gardens Movement focus on
A. Encouraging people to preserve nature.
B. Providing free food for low-income families.
C. Promoting “learning gardens” across schools.
D. Educating new gardeners to grow their own food.
35. Which of the following best describes Musk
A. Charity-minded. B. Stubborn. C. Easy-going. D. Scholarly.

English is my mother tongue, so for a long time I never had to give much thought to speaking about science in a different language-something many researchers have to do every day. But my privilege was ended in July 2020 when I started my research group as a junior faculty (教学人员) member at University of Montreal, a French-language institution in Quebec, Canada. I now communicate daily in both English and French.
Over the past two years, I have communicated science in French to a general audience, to the wider scientific community and to graduate students at the university. I believe that learning how to communicate science effectively in a language other than English has helped me to become a better science communicator in general. Explaining my research to a general audience in a second language proved hard. But with practice and continuous opportunities, I started to find my footing. For instance, shortly after starting at the University of Montreal, I gave an interview in French about my research projects. This was a great opportunity but also a big test of my language skills.
I have learnt to keep practicing and to have confidence in myself and in my ability. It is important not to be afraid to make mistakes or to ask for help. The primary goal is to get the message across clearly.
I have also faced difficult tasks, notably learning French field-specific jargon(术语), and translating abstracts, course material and so on. Alongside these academic challenges, I have to tackle administrative duties in a second language.
It has not always been easy or convenient to have to include French in my professional.
Despite challenges, talking and writing about science in a language other than English has helped me to communicate more effectively with general and scientific audiences, and has proved to be rewarding!
4. When did the author begin to talk about science in French
A. Before the year of 2020. B. When he started to do his research.
C. When he studied as a student. D. After he worked at University of Montreal.
5. What does the author think of the interview in French about the research project
A. Enjoyable. B. Interesting.
C. Challenging. D. Encouraging.
6. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Communicating science in French is convenient.
B. Working in French benefits the author greatly.
C. The author’s professional life is very smooth.
D. The author’s French is poor and needs improving.
7. What is the best title for the text
A. Science communication in a second language
B. The process of learning a second language
C. The experience of science research in Canada
D. Effective science communication in work
