阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Discover Jiangsu
Known as the land of water, China’s coastal province of Jiangsu has all the geographical advantages to give it a starring role in the epic（史诗般的） tale of China’s ancient Maritime（海上的） Silk Road. With busy port cities, historic sites and breathtaking natural beauty, Jiangsu is the perfect place to follow the story of this remarkable trade route.
Nanjing and the voyages of Zheng He
At the beginning of the Ming dynasty, the city of Nanjing in Jiangsu was declared capital of China. Besides building one of the longest city walls in history, the emperor ordered the construction of vast “treasure ships” in 1403．Under Zheng He’s command, the ships finished seven epic ocean voyages, reaching as far as the east coast of Africa.
Nantong and overseas trade
In Jiangsu’s port city of Nantong, goods have flowed in and out of the province by water for centuries. Beyond Lusi Port Town, a busy seascape of boats travel on the waters of Jiangsu’s coast. It’s a scene that shows how China’s historic Maritime Silk Road remains successful until this day.
Yancheng and unspoiled nature
Salt was one of the commodities（商品） that played a key role in the history of trade in Jiangsu, contributing to the wealth of the province. A major source was the tidal （潮汐的） salt flats of Yancheng, which literally means “salt city”. This remarkable landscape also plays host to some rare bird species like cranes, egrets, and spoonbill sandpipers.
Yangzhou and the spread of Buddhism
In the Jiangsu city of Yangzhou, a Tang-dynasty monk by the name of Jianzhen set sail to Japan to spread the teachings of Buddhism. Daming Temple, where Jianzhen lived, can still be visited today.
21．What made Jiangsu an Ancient Gateway to the Maritime Silk Road

C．Its wealth and power. D．Its geographical advantages.
22．Which city has a historic temple as a big tourist attraction
A．Nanjing. B．Nantong. C．Yancheng. D．Yangzhou.
23．Where is this text probably taken from
A．A geography magazine. B．An academic report.
C．An economics book. D．A travel blog.
B
When I mentioned to some friends that we all have accents, most of them proudly replied, “Well, I speak perfect English/Chinese/etc.” But the answer misses the point.
More often than not, what we mean when we say someone “has an accent” is that their accent is different from the local one, or that pronunciations are different from our own. But this definition of accents is limiting and could give rise to prejudice. Funnily enough, in terms of the language study, every person speaks with an accent. It is the regular differences in how we produce sounds that define our accents. Even if you don’t hear it yourself, you speak with some sort of accent. In this sense, it’s pointless to point out that someone “has an accent”. We all do!
Every person speaks a dialect （方言）, too. In the field of language study, a dialect is a version of a language that is characterized by its variations of structure, phrases and words. For instance, “You got eat or not ” （meaning “Have you eaten ”）is an acceptable and understood question in Singapore Oral English. The fact that this expression would cause a standard American English speaker to take pause doesn’t mean that Singapore Oral English is “wrong” or “ungrammatical”. The sentence is well-formed and clearly communicative, according to native Singapore English speakers’ solid system of grammar. Why should it be wrong just because it’s different
We need to move beyond a narrow conception of accents and dialects —for the benefit of everyone.
Language differences like these provide insights into people’s cultural experiences and backgrounds. In a global age, the way one speaks is a distinct part of one’s identity. Most people would be happy to talk about the cultures behind their speech. We’d learn more about the world we live in and make friends along the way.
24 What does the author think of his/her friends’ response in paragraph 1
A．It reflects their self confidence. B．It reflects their language levels.
C．It misses the point of communication. D．It misses the real meaning of accents.
25．Why does the author use the example of Singapore Oral English
A．To justify the use of dialects. B．To show the diversity of dialects.
C To correct a grammatical mistake. D．To highlight a traditional approach.
26．What does the author recommend us to do in the last paragraph
A．Learn to speak with your local dialect. B．Seek for an official definition of accents.
C．Appreciate the value of accents and dialects. D．Distinguish our local languages from others’.
27．What can be a suitable title for this passage
A．Everyone Has an Accent B．Accents Enhance Our Identities
C．Dialects Lead to Misunderstanding D．Standard English Is at Risk
C
In the last decade, scientists have been going back and forth on one question: does recycling really help the environment The conclusion at which they have arrived seems to be: yes, it does. However, experts warn that our efforts should not stop there. While recycling is an important part of the solution, it is not necessarily the most important factor. Therefore, I disagree that recycling is the key to a sustainable（可持续的） future.
Compared to other methods to save the earth, recycling is a much smaller player. According to a recent study, the twenty top petrochemical （石化） companies in the world are responsible for 55% of the world’s single-use plastics, most of which are practically impossible to recycle. This means that asking these major polluters to take responsibility for their harm to the environment would do much more than if every one of us recycled our waste. In addition, a dependence on recycling can take attention away from reducing and reusing, which are more effective in lowering emissions （排放） and in turn helping to create a sustainable future. Therefore, it would do us a lot of good if we focus on these other high-priority solutions rather than simply recycling.
Recycling supporters may argue that recycling is indeed the key to a sustainable future because it helps save a lot of energy by taking what already exists and changing it into something new. While it is true that recycling is a valuable tool in the fight against climate change, it is not the key. Regrettably, it alone is not sufficient. So, while we should continue recycling, we need to go further by taking other actions for our planet.
To conclude, I disagree that recycling is the key to a sustainable future. Having said that, recycling is still beneficial. It is but a small part of an interconnected web of solutions, which on its own can not accomplish much, but together with other efforts, can create a sustainable future for all.
28．Why does the author write this article
A．To raise a question. B．To explain a rule.
C．To present a solution. D．To express an idea.
29．Which of the following belongs to “other actions” in Paragraph 3
A．Stopping using plastics. B．Individuals recycling their waste.
C．Using fewer high-emission cars. D．Changing used things into something new.
30．Why is recycling not that important according to the author
A．It can only save 45% of the energy people need.
B．It does not help with protecting the environment.
C．It stops major polluters from taking responsibility.
D．It plays a small and limited part in sustaining the earth.
31．What is the key to a sustainable future according to the author
A．Combined efforts of all the solutions. B．More and more people joining in recycling.
C．Reducing and reusing of single-use plastics. D．Asking petrochemical companies to be responsible.
D
There’s no doubt that positive thinking impacts one’s life. However, in recent years, I’ve come to understand that perhaps positive thinking can result in toxic（有毒的） positivity, which has negative consequences. What we should be aiming for instead is emotional validation（确认）.
Toxic positivity is the maintenance of positive thinking even in situations where it isn’t appropriate. “It often comes at the risk of denying our own real feelings or the feelings of others,” says Nina Vasan, MD．While positive thinking in general is a great thing, toxic positivity isn’t. It’s the act of denying anything negative that’s actually happening, and it can involve making people feel bad for having normal human emotions. Someone practicing toxic positivity might say things like “everything happens for a reason” or “just look on the bright side” when a friend shares something difficult in his/her life.
Vasan tells us that with toxic positivity, emotions like sorrow and anger are pushed aside. However, emotional validation allows you to have your feelings. To be exact, emotional validation is about allowing people to experience their feelings and acknowledging that having negative feelings is real and often important. That doesn’t mean it promotes and encourages negative thinking endlessly, though.
Toxic positivity encourages us to focus only on the positive, which can stop us from dealing with the feelings we need to work through. Practicing emotional validation is a healthier option for you and the ones you love. “This can be as simple as saying ‘I understand you’re really sad’.” explains Vasan. Offering your understanding shows our loved ones that we care about their feelings. Besides, instead of telling someone to look on the bright side, you should offer words and thoughts of support instead.
Toxic positivity has become prevalent, and you probably know a lot of people who dismiss your negative experiences with statements like “You’re too sensitive”. Now you can say: Whatever you’re feeling is temporary and allowing yourself to feel it will help you get through it.
32．What is emotional validation
A．Permitting emotional ups and downs. B．Denying people’s negative feelings.
C．Maintaining positive in hard times. D．Avoiding risks in terrible situations.
33．What may the author recommend you to say to a sad person
A Perhaps something fortunate is still waiting for you.
B．I’m sure there’s a good reason for what has happened.
C．I understand your sadness but being sensitive is no good.
D．You have every right to feel upset and I am here for you.
34．What does the underlined word “prevalent” in the last paragraph probably mean
A．Complicated. B．Widespread. C．Instructive. D．Essential.
35．What is the main idea of the text
A．Promoting positivity is worthwhile. B．Admitting negativity is reasonable.
C．Sticking to positivity is significant. D．Expressing negativity is inappropriate.

The carbon footprint shows how much carbon dioxide a person emits（排放） in everyday life. It measures the amount offossil（化石） fuels and electricity someone uses up as well as the carbon footprint of the products they buy. When we use our cars or heat our homes with carbon dioxide, various other gases are set free 36
You can measure your carbon footprint by using a calculator that you can find on various websites. 37 In America for example, every citizen produces about 28 tons of carbon dioxide and other dangerous gases a year; in Great Britain the amount is about 10 tons.
38 The way we travel, for example, has a major effect on our environment Use your bike or walk for short distances. Public transport is a way of getting to places without putting a burden on the environment. 39 Many environmental experts, however, argue that it often saves energy to buy food that is produced naturally in faraway places than consuming food grown locally in greenhouses. In your home you can contribute to saving energy by turning off lights if you don’t need them or by avoiding the use of air conditioners. Recycling plastic glass and paper can also reduce your carbon footprint dramatically.
40 Only if we concentrate on reducing carbon emissions together can we hope to make our environment better.
A．Many people travel between cities and suburbs every day.
B．The carbon footprint is usually measured in tons of CO2 per year.
C．These emissions lead to a thicker atmosphere and global warming.
D．It is also vital to persuade others to take the same steps that you do.
E．There are many actions you can take to reduce your carbon footprint.
F．The·websites also provide carbon storage tools and methods for individuals.
G．Buying local food is another way of restricting emission into the atmosphere.

Time for girls to shine
Most of us grew up reading fairy tales that start with “Once upon a time” and end with “the princess and prince lived happily ever after”. They seem, to be harmless- even 41 , perhaps. But in the eyes of two Italian writers, Favilli and Cavallo, this is what’s been 42 with children’s stories for years.
“Children’s books have always 43 the same since we were children,” Cavallo said. And a study also found while 80 percent of male characters in most popular children’s books have a（n） 44 , only 18 percent of female characters do.
So they together wrote a book 45 only female protagonists （主角）. Good Night Stories for Rebel（叛逆） Girls is an“anti- princess”book, which gives young girls role models of their own to 46 .
The original book was published in December 2019, and the second volume 47 on Feb 28,2021．Both books contain the stories of 100 extraordinary women from all over the world, and much to the 48 of children’s book writers, every one of them has a job or professional ambition. The “characters” 49 pop singer Beyonce and tennis star Serena Williams.
However, the word “rebel” may make some people feel uncomfortable, since it’s not really seen as 50 . But being rebellious is 51 being independent, which many of today’s girls need to develop.
“It is important to 52 —especially if you are a woman or a girl- a rebel attitude, a rebel character, because you have to 53 harder to reach your dream and to get what you want.
And this 54 is made clear, with the book’s first page reading “To all the girls of the world, dream 55 , aim higher, fight harder’’.

When I mentioned to some friends that we all have accents, most of them proudly replied, “Well, I speak perfect English/Chinese/etc.” But the answer misses the point.
More often than not, what we mean when we say someone “has an accent” is that their accent is different from the local one, or that pronunciations are different from our own. But this definition of accents is limiting and could give rise to prejudice. Funnily enough, in terms of the language study, every person speaks with an accent. It is the regular differences in how we produce sounds that define our accents. Even if you don’t hear it yourself, you speak with some sort of accent. In this sense, it’s pointless to point out that someone “has an accent”. We all do!
Every person speaks a dialect （方言）, too. In the field of language study, a dialect is a version of a language that is characterized by its variations of structure, phrases and words. For instance, “You got eat or not ” （meaning “Have you eaten ”）is an acceptable and understood question in Singapore Oral English. The fact that this expression would cause a standard American English speaker to take pause doesn’t mean that Singapore Oral English is “wrong” or “ungrammatical”. The sentence is well-formed and clearly communicative, according to native Singapore English speakers’ solid system of grammar. Why should it be wrong just because it’s different
We need to move beyond a narrow conception of accents and dialects —for the benefit of everyone.
Language differences like these provide insights into people’s cultural experiences and backgrounds. In a global age, the way one speaks is a distinct part of one’s identity. Most people would be happy to talk about the cultures behind their speech. We’d learn more about the world we live in and make friends along the way.

In the last decade, scientists have been going back and forth on one question: does recycling really help the environment The conclusion at which they have arrived seems to be: yes, it does. However, experts warn that our efforts should not stop there. While recycling is an important part of the solution, it is not necessarily the most important factor. Therefore, I disagree that recycling is the key to a sustainable（可持续的） future.
Compared to other methods to save the earth, recycling is a much smaller player. According to a recent study, the twenty top petrochemical （石化） companies in the world are responsible for 55% of the world’s single-use plastics, most of which are practically impossible to recycle. This means that asking these major polluters to take responsibility for their harm to the environment would do much more than if every one of us recycled our waste. In addition, a dependence on recycling can take attention away from reducing and reusing, which are more effective in lowering emissions （排放） and in turn helping to create a sustainable future. Therefore, it would do us a lot of good if we focus on these other high-priority solutions rather than simply recycling.
Recycling supporters may argue that recycling is indeed the key to a sustainable future because it helps save a lot of energy by taking what already exists and changing it into something new. While it is true that recycling is a valuable tool in the fight against climate change, it is not the key. Regrettably, it alone is not sufficient. So, while we should continue recycling, we need to go further by taking other actions for our planet.
To conclude, I disagree that recycling is the key to a sustainable future. Having said that, recycling is still beneficial. It is but a small part of an interconnected web of solutions, which on its own can not accomplish much, but together with other efforts, can create a sustainable future for all.
28．Why does the author write this article
A．To raise a question. B．To explain a rule.
C．To present a solution. D．To express an idea.
29．Which of the following belongs to “other actions” in Paragraph 3
A．Stopping using plastics. B．Individuals recycling their waste.
C．Using fewer high-emission cars. D．Changing used things into something new.
30．Why is recycling not that important according to the author
A．It can only save 45% of the energy people need.
B．It does not help with protecting the environment.
C．It stops major polluters from taking responsibility.
D．It plays a small and limited part in sustaining the earth.
31．What is the key to a sustainable future according to the author
A．Combined efforts of all the solutions. B．More and more people joining in recycling.
C．Reducing and reusing of single-use plastics. D．Asking petrochemical companies to be responsible.
D
There’s no doubt that positive thinking impacts one’s life. However, in recent years, I’ve come to understand that perhaps positive thinking can result in toxic（有毒的） positivity, which has negative consequences. What we should be aiming for instead is emotional validation（确认）.
Toxic positivity is the maintenance of positive thinking even in situations where it isn’t appropriate. “It often comes at the risk of denying our own real feelings or the feelings of others,” says Nina Vasan, MD．While positive thinking in general is a great thing, toxic positivity isn’t. It’s the act of denying anything negative that’s actually happening, and it can involve making people feel bad for having normal human emotions. Someone practicing toxic positivity might say things like “everything happens for a reason” or “just look on the bright side” when a friend shares something difficult in his/her life.
Vasan tells us that with toxic positivity, emotions like sorrow and anger are pushed aside. However, emotional validation allows you to have your feelings. To be exact, emotional validation is about allowing people to experience their feelings and acknowledging that having negative feelings is real and often important. That doesn’t mean it promotes and encourages negative thinking endlessly, though.
Toxic positivity encourages us to focus only on the positive, which can stop us from dealing with the feelings we need to work through. Practicing emotional validation is a healthier option for you and the ones you love. “This can be as simple as saying ‘I understand you’re really sad’.” explains Vasan. Offering your understanding shows our loved ones that we care about their feelings. Besides, instead of telling someone to look on the bright side, you should offer words and thoughts of support instead.
Toxic positivity has become prevalent, and you probably know a lot of people who dismiss your negative experiences with statements like “You’re too sensitive”. Now you can say: Whatever you’re feeling is temporary and allowing yourself to feel it will help you get through it.
32．What is emotional validation
A．Permitting emotional ups and downs. B．Denying people’s negative feelings.
C．Maintaining positive in hard times. D．Avoiding risks in terrible situations.
33．What may the author recommend you to say to a sad person
A Perhaps something fortunate is still waiting for you.
B．I’m sure there’s a good reason for what has happened.
C．I understand your sadness but being sensitive is no good.
D．You have every right to feel upset and I am here for you.
34．What does the underlined word “prevalent” in the last paragraph probably mean
A．Complicated. B．Widespread. C．Instructive. D．Essential.
35．What is the main idea of the text
A．Promoting positivity is worthwhile. B．Admitting negativity is reasonable.
C．Sticking to positivity is significant. D．Expressing negativity is inappropriate.

The carbon footprint shows how much carbon dioxide a person emits（排放） in everyday life. It measures the amount offossil（化石） fuels and electricity someone uses up as well as the carbon footprint of the products they buy. When we use our cars or heat our homes with carbon dioxide, various other gases are set free 36
You can measure your carbon footprint by using a calculator that you can find on various websites. 37 In America for example, every citizen produces about 28 tons of carbon dioxide and other dangerous gases a year; in Great Britain the amount is about 10 tons.
38 The way we travel, for example, has a major effect on our environment Use your bike or walk for short distances. Public transport is a way of getting to places without putting a burden on the environment. 39 Many environmental experts, however, argue that it often saves energy to buy food that is produced naturally in faraway places than consuming food grown locally in greenhouses. In your home you can contribute to saving energy by turning off lights if you don’t need them or by avoiding the use of air conditioners. Recycling plastic glass and paper can also reduce your carbon footprint dramatically.
40 Only if we concentrate on reducing carbon emissions together can we hope to make our environment better.
A．Many people travel between cities and suburbs every day.
B．The carbon footprint is usually measured in tons of CO2 per year.
C．These emissions lead to a thicker atmosphere and global warming.
D．It is also vital to persuade others to take the same steps that you do.
E．There are many actions you can take to reduce your carbon footprint.
F．The·websites also provide carbon storage tools and methods for individuals.
G．Buying local food is another way of restricting emission into the atmosphere.

Time for girls to shine
Most of us grew up reading fairy tales that start with “Once upon a time” and end with “the princess and prince lived happily ever after”. They seem, to be harmless- even 41 , perhaps. But in the eyes of two Italian writers, Favilli and Cavallo, this is what’s been 42 with children’s stories for years.
“Children’s books have always 43 the same since we were children,” Cavallo said. And a study also found while 80 percent of male characters in most popular children’s books have a（n） 44 , only 18 percent of female characters do.
So they together wrote a book 45 only female protagonists （主角）. Good Night Stories for Rebel（叛逆） Girls is an“anti- princess”book, which gives young girls role models of their own to 46 .
The original book was published in December 2019, and the second volume 47 on Feb 28,2021．Both books contain the stories of 100 extraordinary women from all over the world, and much to the 48 of children’s book writers, every one of them has a job or professional ambition. The “characters” 49 pop singer Beyonce and tennis star Serena Williams.
However, the word “rebel” may make some people feel uncomfortable, since it’s not really seen as 50 . But being rebellious is 51 being independent, which many of today’s girls need to develop.
“It is important to 52 —especially if you are a woman or a girl- a rebel attitude, a rebel character, because you have to 53 harder to reach your dream and to get what you want.
