The world’s oldest pen pals have both become 100 years old after many years of transatlantic letters and have now switched to Zoom. Centenarians (百岁老人) Geoff Banks from Honiton, Devon, and Celesta Byrne from the US, started writing to each other aged just 16 in 1938. They met as part of an educational project to put British and American students in contact — and decades later they are still corresponding.
Former engineer Geoff even kept in touch with Celesta during WWII when he served as a mechanic on British aircraft carrier HMS Illustrious in the Pacific. It has been so long that Geoff, a retired engineer, barely remembers how they started talking. Geoff said, “I honestly struggle to remember how we got in touch, and I think it was something to do with an American school’s scheme. It matched us up with Americans for a pen pal relationship, and somehow I ended up with a letter from an American girl, and we have just kept corresponding ever since. There were a couple of years when we struggled to keep in touch because of the war. Now I correspond mainly by email. Email is much easier for me these days because I can’t write very well anymore. We just talk about daily lives and our families really, but we don’t discuss the football.”
They now touch base via video app Zoom. Geoff said, “I have this new thing called Zoom to chat with her, but I leave all the technology to younger people. They’re much better at pressing all the buttons.”
Despite having chatted for decades, the pair only met twice — first in 2002 while Geoff visited New York aged 80, and then again two years later. Having such a unique relationship, the pair deny there is any romance there. Celesta said, “We’re just friends, like people who live next door. It’s nice to hear his voice.”
24. What played a key role in the pen pals’ contact
A. A school program. B. An educational email.
C. A pen pal’s introduction. D. A correspondence course.
25. What did the pair mainly talk about in their letters
A. Their favourite sports. B. Their everyday life.
C. Their family traditions. D. Their experiences in the war.
26. Which is closest in meaning to “touch base” in paragraph 3
A. Lay foundation. B. Take a chance
C. Stay in contact. D. Make a difference.
27. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Effects of War on Friendship
B. True Friendship Lasts Forever
C. Pure Friendship Differs from Love
D. The Communication Problems of Old People
C
While some critics claim that history curricula (课程) teach unnecessary content, others argue that these curricula need to be more comprehensive. Despite ongoing debates about content, one universal truth remains: strong history curricula are necessary for developing the productive citizens of tomorrow.
The greatest academic value that history curricula provide is not the recall of important dates and names. Rather, understanding the historical inquiry process is the most important component. This process teaches students how to become critical thinkers and understand the dynamic nature of the telling of history.
Through strong history curricula, students are shown both a variety of primary and secondary sources and are taught to critique them. This is where the historical inquiry process begins. Students not only begin to analyze and ask questions about the content, but they also learn about the author’s credibility and potential bias (偏见). Students are then able to contextualize the information they learn and can think more critically about historical context and those who tell it.
With this framework, students can then understand the causal relationship between human nature, values, philosophy, actions, and their consequences. It teaches students to recognize recurrent themes and lessons that are necessary to understand modern society. Most importantly, it teaches students to develop a healthy skepticism (怀疑论) when presented with information today because our actions are history in the making.
Forty years ago, renowned scholar James Fitzgerald argued that no education is complete without the teaching of historical inquiry. He believed that the only way to move forward in life is to understand what’s behind us.
Today, this principle still holds true. Students take both the factual knowledge and the historical inquiry skills they learn in the classroom and apply them to real world circumstances. Throughout their lives, students who are taught with strong history curricula will take the lessons they learn from our predecessors and become involved, active, productive citizens who want to create a history that tomorrow’s students will be proud to learn about.
28．What is the biggest academic significance of history learning
A．Passing down Chinese culture. B．Grasping historical inquiry skills.
C．Making people more knowledgeable. D．Enriching people’s everyday life.
29．What does the underlined word “critique” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Protect. B．Combine. C．Comment. D．Remember.
30．Why is James Fitzgerald mentioned in the passage
A．To stress the importance of history.
B．To point out the essence of education.
C．To indicate famous people learn from history.
D．To show history contributes to people’s achievements.
31．What can be the best title for the passage
A．It Is the People that Create History
B．History Pushes the Wheel of the Times
C．History Curricula Are Gaining More Attention
D．History Curricula Shape Tomorrow’s Decision Makers
D
Elephants eat plants. That’s common knowledge to biologists and animal-loving schoolchildren alike. Yet figuring out exactly what kind of plants they eat is more complicated.
A new study from a global team that included Brown University conservation biologists used innovative methods to efficiently and precisely analyze the dietary habits of elephants in Kenya. Their findings on the habits of individual elephants help answer important questions about group food searching behaviors, and aid biologists in understanding the conservation approaches that best keep elephants not only sated (饱的) but satisfied.
“When I talk to non-ecologists, they are surprised to learn that we have never really had a clear picture of what all of these large animals actually eat in nature,” Kartzinel, an expert botanist who has conducted field research in Kenya, said. “The reason is that these animals are difficult and dangerous to observe from up-close, they move long distances, they feed at night and in thick bush and a lot of the plants they feed on are quite small.”
Then the team compared the diets of individual elephants through time. In their analysis, they showed that dietary differences among individuals were often far greater than what had been previously assumed, even among family members that ate together on a given day.
This study helps address a classic paradox (悖论) in wildlife ecology. Kartzinel said: “How do social bonds hold family groups together in a world of limited resources ” In other words, given that elephants all seemingly eat the same plants, it’s not obvious why competition for food doesn’t push them apart and force them to search for food independently.
“The simple answer is that elephants vary their diets based not only on what’s available but also their preferences and physiological needs,” said Kartzinel. These findings help inform theories of why a group of elephants may search for food together: The individual elephants don’t always eat exactly the same plants at the same time, so there will usually be enough plants to go around.
These findings may offer valuable insights for conservation biologists. To protect elephants and create environments in which they can successfully grow their populations, they need a variety of plants to eat.
32．What did the new study focus on
A．The results of conservation approaches. B．The eating habits of elephants.
C．Ways to protect elephants from starving. D．Elephants’ social behavior and needs.
33．What can we infer from paragraph 3
A．Elephants are hard to monitor. B．Elephants only live in thick bush.
C．Elephants are kind and friendly animals. D．Elephants seldom eat with humans around.
34．What message can conservation biologists get from the study
A．It is necessary for elephants to live together.
B．It is possible to observe elephants up-close.
C．It is social bonds that hold elephants together.
D．It is important to protect the variety of plants.
35．Which word can be used to describe the study
A．Inaccurate. B．Shocking. C．Beneficial. D．Subjective.

I bought a book about motivation the few weeks ago. My mother asked me that I would like to share it with others when she finished reading the book. Of course, I was willingly to give it to those who wanted it. It occurs to me that I should send it to my friend, Pam. She supported me through my learning journey but I valued her friendship greatly. Fortunately, she was being admitted into a key university last year.

【答案】One possible version:
One Sunday, my parents went out to the supermarket, and it occurred to me that I could give our home a thorough cleanup. Firstly, I collected the clothes hung out, folded them and put them in the wardrobe. Then I dusted the living room and put all things in place. After that, I swept and mopped the floor. When my parents came back, seeing the living room tidy and the floor shining, they looked at me in surprise and then gave me a big hug. Tired as I was, I felt so happy.
Through this experience, I gained deeper insight into the glory of labour. I decided to help with the housework whenever I can.
