Growing up, my grandparents bought a second home among a small forest in Arkansas and would bring me there every single summer. I would spend a lot of time outside there following my grandfather around while he did yard work. We would collect cool-looking rocks and refill the hummingbird feeders.
I always remember my grandparents calling me over to the window when a deer family was in the yard or a few hummingbirds were at the feeders so that I could watch them. I would explore around in the yard by myself sometimes to look for interesting rocks and if I was lucky I would find a turtle. If I did find a turtle, my grandfather would put it in the kiddy pool for me to observe for a few minutes. I was always amazed by these creatures. After I finished observing the turtle, my grandfather would pick it back up and return it to the bush I found it in. I would watch in amazement as it slowly stuck its legs out and crawled back under.
I always felt very at peace at my grandparents’ home. It was quiet and full of interesting natural things I never got to see in Illinois. They disturbed the land around them as little as possible and didn’t see it as nuisance (令人讨厌的东西), rather a beautiful view.
As Aldo Leopold, an American scientist, puts it, we should take the time to appreciate and observe the natural world around us. When we do this, we find it brings us happiness and has a great value beyond just that of resources. Conservation(保护) of the natural world is important because we are dependent upon it for life. We cannot worsen such a bountiful provider at such a rate in which it will never return to anything like what it once was. Our experiences with nature are what will drive us to reach this conclusion, if only everyone took the time to really involve themselves in it.
24.What does the writer mainly talk about in Paragraph 2
A.His interest in rocks and animals.
B.His connection with natural world.
C.His daily routine in summer vacation.
D.His close relationship with Grandparents.
25.What does “a bountiful provider” refer to in the last paragraph
A.Nature. B.Illinois. C.The small forest. D.Grandparents’ home.
26.What is the writer most likely to express
A.Past experiences should be treasured.
B.Nature offers man a journey of discovery.
C.Quality time with family is of great value.
D.Into the nature, you will know how precious it is.
27.In which of following would you most likely find the text
A.Family Matters B.On the Road
C.At One with Nature D.The Economist
C
While most TV stations try to attract viewers by producing reality shows, Henan TV has become famous by promoting traditional culture through Chinese dance. Henan TV produced seven dance pieces introducing traditional culture for traditional festivals, such as “Rhapsody on the Luo River Goddess (《洛神水赋》)”, a two-minute underwater dance for the Dragon Boat Festival. “Guardian Warriors of Longmen (《龙门金刚 》)”, a dance piece supported by AR technology against the backdrop of the Longmen Grottoes(石窟).
“These pieces have gotten nearly 30 billion hits,“ said Yao Wei, director of the TV station. “It’s a huge success for Henan TV.”
On Nov 1, 2021, Yao was invited to talk about how the TV station had produced the hit dance pieces at a three-day forum (论坛) centering on the research of Chinese dance.
The pieces were popular with audiences, most of whom are members of Gen Z, (people born between 1995 and 2009), Yao said.
“It’s been over forty years since the country’s reform and opening-up and the younger generations have grown up with open minds. They love Chinese culture and are proud of it,” said Yao. “What we need to do is present Chinese culture and tradition in interesting ways for those young people.”
Yao added that Henan TV has been producing shows promoting traditional culture, such as traditional operas and kung Fu, for nearly 30 years.
“To allure younger audiences, we are also changing our shows. One of the keys is to produce them with creativity,” Yao said. “For example, the latest technology and special stage settings, like underwater scenes, have become our new ways of telling stories about traditional Chinese culture.”
Another key to successfully reaching younger audiences is using social media to promote their shows.
“Social media is being shaped and driven by young people. It’s a powerful form of communication. When they watch short videos, they easily become interested in an eye-catching video,” Yao said.
28.What can we learn about the seven dance pieces produced by Henan TV
A.They were performed by famous stars.
B.They were presented in creative ways.
C.They were about the reform and opening-up.
D.They were produced by AR technology.
29.What’s Gen Z’s attitude toward the seven dance pieces
A.Interested. B.Hopeful. C.Puzzled. D.Disappointed.
30.What does the underlined word “allure” in the third-to-last paragraph probably mean
A.Greet. B.Support. C.Attract. D.Interview.
31.What is the main purpose of the passage
A.To report on the features of traditional Chinese dance.
B.To tell the traditional stories of the seven dance pieces.
C.To explain how technology helps promote traditional Chinese culture.
D.To introduce the success of the dance series produced by Henan TV.
D
Although computer technology is often necessary today, using a pen or pencil activates more areas of your brain than a keyboard does. You can potentially remember more by handwriting, according to a new study.
The potential benefits of handwriting for memory have been debated for some time. The new study set out to answer one question: How does handwriting compare to using a keyboard when it comes to remembering new information
In all, 24 participants took part. Researchers asked each of them to write with a pen and then each was also asked to type on a keyboard. While performing these tasks, each volunteer wore a cap that held electrodes next to their head. It looked somewhat like a hair net fitted with 256 sensors. Those sensors recorded the participants' brainwaves. The electrodes noted which parts of the brain turned on during each task. And they showed that writing turned on memory areas in the brain while typing didn’t.
Audrey van der Meer, the new study's leader, says this suggests that when we write by hand, we remember better. “This is because writing involves complex movements that activate more areas of the brain. The increased brain activity gives the brain more ‘hooks’ to hang your memories on,” she explains. Van der Meer also points out that writing by hand is related to visual notetaking. “Rather than typing blindly, the visual notetaker has to think about what is important to write down. Then, key words can be interlinked by boxes, arrows and small drawings,” she adds.
This study does not recommend banning digital devices. In fact, its authors point out, computers and other devices with keyboards have become necessary in modern society. Keyboarding can especially benefit those with certain special needs (such as if they have trouble using their hands) and typing beats writing when it comes to speed, they add.
32. Why were participants asked to wear caps in the study
A. To record their brainwaves.
B. To inform them of their tasks.
C. To allow them to focus on writing.
D. To protect their heads like hair nets.
33. What does Audrey van der Meer try to explain
A. Why handwriting is more complex than typing
B. Why the brain works when it comes to learning
C. Why handwriting helps remember information
D. Why key words are helpful to visual notetaking
34. What is the study’s authors’ view on typing
A. It relieves people’s hands. B. It remains vital and helpful.
C. It is not worth recommending. D. It is more challenging than writing.
35. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A. How Can You Remember New Information
B. Handwriting Benefits Health in the Long Run
C. Should Typing Take the Place of Handwriting
D. Handwriting Is Better for Memory Than Typing

Sports day! These two words can inspire both joy and fear in the hearts of students everywhere. 36 And it’s also the chance to bag a prize or two. For others, it might feel like having to take part in something they aren’t good at.
Today, more and more schools have recognized the importance of exercise. Many of them have non-competitive sports days. They hope that by making sports days less competitive, children of all abilities will be encouraged to take part without fear of losing. Exercise and fitness is important for everyone, no matter how good at sport you are. 37
However, some people feel that it’s important that sport has winners and that learning to lose is just as important as learning how to win. 38 Particularly, on a sports day which is your chance to really prove yourself!
39 According to a 2017 survey by Families Online, 82% of parents say they prefer “traditional” competitive sports days. Many adults feel that children can learn valuable lessons in both winning and losing. It’s also an opportunity for some children to show off their physical and sporting skills.
People have different ideas about whether it is the winning or the taking part that counts when it comes to school sports days 40 We want to know your ideas.
A. What’s the point if no one wins
B. Should sport just be about winning
C. For many, sports day can be a great day of fun.
D. So, should School Sports Day be competitive or not
E. Everyone should be celebrated for trying and playing their part.

Welcome, everyone, to the weekly meeting here at our restaurant. (19) Before we start, I would like to remind you of one thing. We need your measurements for the new staff clothes we are ordering. (17) Please let me have them as soon as possible. Anyway, I’ll start the meeting with good news. The restaurant is fully booked for the whole of this week.

That shows we must be doing something right and they enjoy eating here. So, keep up the good work. As you all know, next week is the Summer Festival. Monday is a public holiday.

(19) Also next week, we will be introducing several new meal choices to our menu. So I will now hand it over to the head cook to explain what you can expect. (20)
