A
While tea may have originated in Asia, now there are many countries all around the world that have tea woven into their food culture and traditions. This is one of the very special parts of tea as it has a way of connecting people all over the world in different ways and ceremonies that finally all results in a group of people sitting together and enjoying a cup of tea.
Chinese tea culture
Since China is viewed as the birthplace of tea, it is no wonder that Chinese tea culture is rich with history and tradition. Today, Chinese tea continues to be used in Chinese medicine and is commonly consumed on both casual and formal occasions both for personal enjoyment and to represent Chinese cultural traditions.
Japanese tea culture
Japan also has a long history with tea, especially Japanese Matcha, which is a kind of ground green tea that is commonly used in Japanese tea ceremonies and only in recent years became popular in western culture.
British tea culture
When many people think about tea, British tea culture is what comes to mind. A hot cup of English Breakfast or Earl Grey tea serves with a little milk and a biscuit in the afternoon as a pick-me-up for the day. Even though tea may not be native to England, this British tea tradition is still going strong today.
Moroccan tea culture
When you visit Morocco, it is hard to miss the outstanding tea culture that is such a large part of Moroccan hospitality. Before any gathering, negotiation, or sale of a product, a pot of mint tea is always prepared and served among the host and guests. This is an expression of Moroccan tradition and hospitality, which should always be accepted by guests as a sign of appreciation and respect to the host.

National Geographic Explorer Paul Salopek is walking from Africa to the tip of South America. He is following the path our human ancestors took out of Africa about 200,000 years ago.
Salopek has named his journey the Out of Eden Walk. As he walks through different countries, landscapes, and cultures, Salopek is documenting what he sees and hears. And he isn't walking alone. During each part of his walk, Paul is joined by a local guide. Along the way, he meets people from small villages, cities, and country farms. Sometimes, they give him a place to stay for a night or two. Often, his hosts share a little bit about their lives with him.
The Out of Eden Walk is well-named. Besides a few rides on boats or ships, Salopek is walking the entire way. No cars. He doesn’t even ride bikes, though he does use pack animals. An important part of Salopek’s mission is to tell the stories of ordinary people. Walking gives him more time to look around and to talk to the people he encounters. He has spoken to thousands of people since his walk began. As he puts it, “I am in a seven, eight, nine-year-long conversation with total strangers.”
Following a story is not new for Paul Salopek. He is a journalist. He has written for The Atlantic, the Chicago Tribune, National Geographic, and other publications. His works have earned many awards, including two Pulitzer Prizes.
As a journalist, Salopek would often fly into an area to cover a story and then quickly leave again. But he felt he was missing part of the story and wanted to dig deeper. The Out of Eden Walk was born from this desire. Salopek calls it slow journalism. The goal is to deeply explore some of the major news stories of our times by talking to ordinary people who are affected. As Salopek describes it, “It is about slowing down enough to actually inhabit the stories of the day and to get to know the people who are behind the headlines.”
4. What is the Out of Eden Walk
A. It is the latest penned work of Paul Salopek.
B. It is a ship journey from Africa to the tip of South America.
C. It is a toured long walk across the continents taken by Paul Salopek.
D. It is a new fashionable way of travelling through different countries.
5. What does Salopek think of the conversation with strangers
A. Fruitful. B. Discouraging.
C. Challenging. D. Time-wasted.
6. Why did Paul Salopek start the Out of Eden Walk
A. To finish his work for the Pulitzer Prizes.
B. To explore the best headlines for the journalism.
C. To unearth the deeper part of the major news stories.
D. To interest the readers in the ancient ordinary people.
7. What do we know about slow journalism
A. Realistic and worthwhile. B. Influential but informal.
C. Humorous and relaxing. D. Efficient and meaningful.
C
Role models are important for inspiring scientists, but new research suggests that scientists who are known for their hard work are more encouraging than scientists who are viewed as naturally brilliant.
In a series of studies, researchers found that young people were more motivated (激励) by scientists whose success was connected with efforts than those whose success was because of natural intelligence, even if that scientist was Albert Einstein.
Danfei Hu, a doctoral student at the Pennsylvania State University, and Janet N. Ann. an assistant professor of Psychology at William Paterson University, said the findings — recently published in Basic and Applied Social Psychology — would help deal with the certain secret about what it takes to succeed in science.
According to the researchers, there is anxiety in the science community about a number of students who run after careers in science during school only to drop out of those career paths once they graduate from college. To help solve the problem, Hu and Ann wanted to research role models, who give the students specific goals, behavior or strategies they can follow.
The researchers performed studies with 176 and 162 participants in each study respectively (分别). In the first study, all participants read the same story about common struggles a scientist met in his science career. However, half were told the story was about Einstein, while half were told it was about Thomas Edison. Although the stories were the same, participants were more likely to believe natural brilliance was the reason for Einstein’s success. In addition, the participants who believe the story was about Edison were more motivated to complete a series of maths problems.
“This proved that people generally seem to view Einstein as a genius, with his success commonly linked to extraordinary talent,” Hu said. “Edison, on the other hand, is known for failing more than 1,000 times when trying to create the light bulb, and his success is linked to his efforts.” Hu added, “Knowing that something great can be achieved through hard work and efforts, more students will step into the science career confidently.”
8. What kind of scientist is more inspiring
A. Those who made important discoveries.
B. Those who were born with a gift.
C. Those who are viewed as great inventors.
D Those who are famous for their hard work.
9. What is the concern in the science community
A. The students will drop out of school soon.
B. There are fewer role models for students to follow.
C. Fewer students will continue to work on science.
D. Some scientists cannot give students specific goals.
10. Why were some participants motivated to complete a series of maths problems
A. They knew the problems were given by Edison.
B. They believed they could solve the problems by working hard.
C. They believed they were as intelligent as Einstein.
D. They knew they were to work together with Einstein and Edison.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Einstein Is Less Encouraging than Edison
B. Einstein’s Success Story
C. How to Be a Great Scientist
D. Edison’s Achievements Are Greater
D
Libraries are romantic places. The romance is that of reading, and the wealth of human imagining and learning that is contained in them. Access to the knowledge and literary art poetry, fiction, drama)in a library is precious -and particularly valuable to young minds and people of any age with an interest in education.
It would be hard to find anyone who actively disapproves of libraries. But when it comes to reality, Britain’s libraries are on less solid ground. The number of books borrowed in the year ending in March.2021 was 72.9m,down 56%on the previous year. Physical visits also collapsed, from 214.6m to 59.7m.
Of course, this is the behaviour that one would expect during a pandemic. Many libraries were closed during this period, while people were discouraged from unnecessary mixing. Book sales climbed to their highest in a decade in 2021, which suggests that some former users of libraries may have bought books instead.
Private libraries at home, whether large collections or single bookshelves, appear to be developing well. But the hope must be that visits and loans at public libraries will soon return to their former level too. Like any other service, libraries need users. And while booksellers might in one sense be regarded as competitors, in fact the vast majority of those involved in the trade, from publishers to poets, are library lovers.
This has something to do with the romantic idea of the reader as explorer, with every book a door to a new store of feeling or understanding. But it also involves the recognition that if books are to form part of our life, there must be space in public for them. Books can be treasured possessions, but there is also something special about a copy that arrives in your hands having passed through those of others -and that will go on being passed between strangers who share your curiosity.
12. What has happened to British libraries
A. They have been in a bad state. B. They have become romantic places.
C. They have got great appeal for artists. D. They have suffered great loss of users.
13. What has led to the home library boom in Britain
A. People avoid close contact in public. B. Many libraries have been pulled down.
C. People have access to affordable books. D. More people disapprove of public libraries.
14. What does the author try to convey in the last paragraph
A. Books are personal belongings. B. Libraries are a paradise for adventurers.
C. Books should be attached importance to. D. Libraries contribute to human connection.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A. Libraries will fade out of stage. B. Libraries will hold a promising future.
C. Booksellers benefit from libraries’ collapse. D. The pandemic has boosted British book sales.

The Out of Eden Walk is well-named. Besides a few rides on boats or ships, Salopek is walking the entire way. No cars. He doesn’t even ride bikes, though he does use pack animals. An important part of Salopek’s mission is to tell the stories of ordinary people. Walking gives him more time to look around and to talk to the people he encounters. He has spoken to thousands of people since his walk began. As he puts it, “I am in a seven, eight, nine-year-long conversation with total strangers.”
Following a story is not new for Paul Salopek. He is a journalist. He has written for The Atlantic, the Chicago Tribune, National Geographic, and other publications. His works have earned many awards, including two Pulitzer Prizes.
As a journalist, Salopek would often fly into an area to cover a story and then quickly leave again. But he felt he was missing part of the story and wanted to dig deeper. The Out of Eden Walk was born from this desire. Salopek calls it slow journalism. The goal is to deeply explore some of the major news stories of our times by talking to ordinary people who are affected. As Salopek describes it, “It is about slowing down enough to actually inhabit the stories of the day and to get to know the people who are behind the headlines.”

Role models are important for inspiring scientists, but new research suggests that scientists who are known for their hard work are more encouraging than scientists who are viewed as naturally brilliant.
In a series of studies, researchers found that young people were more motivated (激励) by scientists whose success was connected with efforts than those whose success was because of natural intelligence, even if that scientist was Albert Einstein.
Danfei Hu, a doctoral student at the Pennsylvania State University, and Janet N. Ann. an assistant professor of Psychology at William Paterson University, said the findings — recently published in Basic and Applied Social Psychology — would help deal with the certain secret about what it takes to succeed in science.
According to the researchers, there is anxiety in the science community about a number of students who run after careers in science during school only to drop out of those career paths once they graduate from college. To help solve the problem, Hu and Ann wanted to research role models, who give the students specific goals, behavior or strategies they can follow.
The researchers performed studies with 176 and 162 participants in each study respectively (分别). In the first study, all participants read the same story about common struggles a scientist met in his science career. However, half were told the story was about Einstein, while half were told it was about Thomas Edison. Although the stories were the same, participants were more likely to believe natural brilliance was the reason for Einstein’s success. In addition, the participants who believe the story was about Edison were more motivated to complete a series of maths problems.
“This proved that people generally seem to view Einstein as a genius, with his success commonly linked to extraordinary talent,” Hu said. “Edison, on the other hand, is known for failing more than 1,000 times when trying to create the light bulb, and his success is linked to his efforts.” Hu added, “Knowing that something great can be achieved through hard work and efforts, more students will step into the science career confidently.”
8. What kind of scientist is more inspiring
A. Those who made important discoveries.
B. Those who were born with a gift.
C. Those who are viewed as great inventors.
D. Those who are famous for their hard work.
9. What is the concern in the science community
A. The students will drop out of school soon.
B. There are fewer role models for students to follow.
C. Fewer students will continue to work on science.
D. Some scientists cannot give students specific goals.
10. Why were some participants motivated to complete a series of maths problems
A. They knew the problems were given by Edison.
B. They believed they could solve the problems by working hard.
C. They believed they were as intelligent as Einstein.
D. They knew they were to work together with Einstein and Edison.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Einstein Is Less Encouraging than Edison
B. Einstein’s Success Story
C. How to Be a Great Scientist
D. Edison’s Achievements Are Greater
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A

Libraries are romantic places. The romance is that of reading, and the wealth of human imagining and learning that is contained in them. Access to the knowledge and literary art poetry, fiction, drama)in a library is precious -and particularly valuable to young minds and people of any age with an interest in education.
It would be hard to find anyone who actively disapproves of libraries. But when it comes to reality, Britain’s libraries are on less solid ground. The number of books borrowed in the year ending in March.2021 was 72.9m,down 56%on the previous year. Physical visits also collapsed, from 214.6m to 59.7m.
Of course, this is the behaviour that one would expect during a pandemic. Many libraries were closed during this period, while people were discouraged from unnecessary mixing. Book sales climbed to their highest in a decade in 2021, which suggests that some former users of libraries may have bought books instead.
Private libraries at home, whether large collections or single bookshelves, appear to be developing well. But the hope must be that visits and loans at public libraries will soon return to their former level too. Like any other service, libraries need users. And while booksellers might in one sense be regarded as competitors, in fact the vast majority of those involved in the trade, from publishers to poets, are library lovers.
This has something to do with the romantic idea of the reader as explorer, with every book a door to a new store of feeling or understanding. But it also involves the recognition that if books are to form part of our life, there must be space in public for them. Books can be treasured possessions, but there is also something special about a copy that arrives in your hands having passed through those of others -and that will go on being passed between strangers who share your curiosity.
12. What has happened to British libraries
A. They have been in a bad state. B. They have become romantic places.
C. They have got great appeal for artists. D. They have suffered great loss of users.
13. What has led to the home library boom in Britain
A. People avoid close contact in public. B. Many libraries have been pulled down.
C. People have access to affordable books. D. More people disapprove of public libraries.
14. What does the author try to convey in the last paragraph
A. Books are personal belongings. B. Libraries are a paradise for adventurers.
C. Books should be attached importance to. D. Libraries contribute to human connection.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A. Libraries will fade out of stage. B. Libraries will hold a promising future.
C. Booksellers benefit from libraries’ collapse. D. The pandemic has boosted British book sales.

Technology and Life
It is a great honor for me to deliver a speech concerning “Technology and Life”. With the rapid development of technology, its influences on our daily lives are everywhere.
Thanks to high-tech, we can stay connected with friends and families, no matter where they are. We can easily access information, and even order food and groceries with a few taps on our mobile phones. However, technology also brings negative influences. With the constant exposure to the screens, our eyes get tired. What’s worse, there is always a concern about privacy and data security.
Despite these drawbacks, I think technology’s positive impacts outweigh the negative ones.

It was the middle of a bright sunny day, and Jay and his friends Mike and Tony were riding their dirty bikes on a path. Occasionally Jay and his friends would stop to climb a tree and find a branch to sit on so they could take a break from riding in the heat.
On this day, Jay and the boys were sitting on a tree when Jay spotted something on the ground. “What do you think that could be ” he asked Mike and Tony.
They jumped down and went to take a closer look. They found a gold money clip (钱夹) holding five hundred dollars.
Mike exclaimed (惊叫),“Awesome! We can split up the money, and we will each be much closer to being able to buy the new bikes we want.” “Jay was the one who spotted the cash,” said Tony. “He should get more than us. He should get three hundred dollars, and we should each get one hundred.” “We can't keep the money. It is not ours,” said Jay. “Whoever lost the money was not very responsible and should learn a lesson about not walking around with that much cash on them," yelled Mike,
“Let us all go home and think about this,” said Jay. Mike and Tony agreed. Jay kept the money, and they all rode their bikes home. They decided to meet up after dinner.
Mike and Tony lived on the same street so they rode home together. They were able to talk a bit more. The more they talked, the more they came to see Jay's point. They also thought about how upset they would be if they accidentally lost something that was important to them.
When Jay, Mike and Tony met back up, Mike and Tony said that Jay was right. They all rode to the police station together to turn in the money. The police office r who took the report told them that he was impressed with their honesty.

Then the three boys went to the bicycle store together and bought the bikes they wanted. It was a happy ending for all involved.

While tea may have originated in Asia, now there are many countries all around the world that have tea woven into their food culture and traditions. This is one of the very special parts of tea as it has a way of connecting people all over the world in different ways and ceremonies that finally all results in a group of people sitting together and enjoying a cup of tea.
Chinese tea culture
Since China is viewed as the birthplace of tea, it is no wonder that Chinese tea culture is rich with history and tradition. Today, Chinese tea continues to be used in Chinese medicine and is commonly consumed on both casual and formal occasions both for personal enjoyment and to represent Chinese cultural traditions.

Japan also has a long history with tea, especially Japanese Matcha, which is a kind of ground green tea that is commonly used in Japanese tea ceremonies and only in recent years became popular in western culture.
British tea culture
When many people think about tea, British tea culture is what comes to mind. A hot cup of English Breakfast or Earl Grey tea serves with a little milk and a biscuit in the afternoon as a pick-me-up for the day. Even though tea may not be native to England, this British tea tradition is still going strong today.
Moroccan tea culture
When you visit Morocco, it is hard to miss the outstanding tea culture that is such a large part of Moroccan hospitality. Before any gathering, negotiation, or sale of a product, a pot of mint tea is always prepared and served among the host and guests. This is an expression of Moroccan tradition and hospitality, which should always be accepted by guests as a sign of appreciation and respect to the host.

National Geographic Explorer Paul Salopek is walking from Africa to the tip of South America. He is following the path our human ancestors took out of Africa about 200,000 years ago.
Salopek has named his journey the Out of Eden Walk. As he walks through different countries, landscapes, and cultures, Salopek is documenting what he sees and hears. And he isn't walking alone. During each part of his walk, Paul is joined by a local guide. Along the way, he meets people from small villages, cities, and country farms. Sometimes, they give him a place to stay for a night or two. Often, his hosts share a little bit about their lives with him.
The Out of Eden Walk is well-named. Besides a few rides on boats or ships, Salopek is walking the entire way. No cars. He doesn’t even ride bikes, though he does use pack animals.

It would be hard to find anyone who actively disapproves of libraries. But when it comes to reality, Britain’s libraries are on less solid ground. The number of books borrowed in the year ending in March.2021 was 72.9m,down 56%on the previous year. Physical visits also collapsed, from 214.6m to 59.7m.
Of course, this is the behaviour that one would expect during a pandemic. Many libraries were closed during this period, while people were discouraged from unnecessary mixing. Book sales climbed to their highest in a decade in 2021, which suggests that some former users of libraries may have bought books instead.
Private libraries at home, whether large collections or single bookshelves, appear to be developing well. But the hope must be that visits and loans at public libraries will soon return to their former level too. Like any other service, libraries need users. And while booksellers might in one sense be regarded as competitors, in fact the vast majority of those involved in the trade, from publishers to poets, are library lovers.
This has something to do with the romantic idea of the reader as explorer, with every book a door to a new store of feeling or understanding. But it also involves the recognition that if books are to form part of our life, there must be space in public for them. Books can be treasured possessions, but there is also something special about a copy that arrives in your hands having passed through those of others -and that will go on being passed between strangers who share your curiosity.
12. What has happened to British libraries
A. They have been in a bad state. B. They have become romantic places.
C. They have got great appeal for artists. D. They have suffered great loss of users.
13. What has led to the home library boom in Britain
A. People avoid close contact in public. B. Many libraries have been pulled down.
C. People have access to affordable books. D. More people disapprove of public libraries.
14. What does the author try to convey in the last paragraph
A. Books are personal belongings. B. Libraries are a paradise for adventurers.
C. Books should be attached importance to. D. Libraries contribute to human connection.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A. Libraries will fade out of stage. B. Libraries will hold a promising future.

On this day, Jay and the boys were sitting on a tree when Jay spotted something on the ground. “What do you think that could be ” he asked Mike and Tony.
They jumped down and went to take a closer look. They found a gold money clip (钱夹) holding five hundred dollars.
Mike exclaimed (惊叫),“Awesome! We can split up the money, and we will each be much closer to being able to buy the new bikes we want.” “Jay was the one who spotted the cash,” said Tony. “He should get more than us. He should get three hundred dollars, and we should each get one hundred.” “We can't keep the money. It is not ours,” said Jay. “Whoever lost the money was not very responsible and should learn a lesson about not walking around with that much cash on them," yelled Mike,
“Let us all go home and think about this,” said Jay. Mike and Tony agreed. Jay kept the money, and they all rode their bikes home. They decided to meet up after dinner.

While tea may have originated in Asia, now there are many countries all around the world that have tea woven into their food culture and traditions. This is one of the very special parts of tea as it has a way of connecting people all over the world in different ways and ceremonies that finally all results in a group of people sitting together and enjoying a cup of tea.
Chinese tea culture
Since China is viewed as the birthplace of tea, it is no wonder that Chinese tea culture is rich with history and tradition.

Japan also has a long history with tea, especially Japanese Matcha, which is a kind of ground green tea that is commonly used in Japanese tea ceremonies and only in recent years became popular in western culture.
British tea culture
When many people think about tea, British tea culture is what comes to mind. A hot cup of English Breakfast or Earl Grey tea serves with a little milk and a biscuit in the afternoon as a pick-me-up for the day. Even though tea may not be native to England, this British tea tradition is still going strong today.
Moroccan tea culture
When you visit Morocco, it is hard to miss the outstanding tea culture that is such a large part of Moroccan hospitality. Before any gathering, negotiation, or sale of a product, a pot of mint tea is always prepared and served among the host and guests. This is an expression of Moroccan tradition and hospitality, which should always be accepted by guests as a sign of appreciation and respect to the host.

National Geographic Explorer Paul Salopek is walking from Africa to the tip of South America. He is following the path our human ancestors took out of Africa about 200,000 years ago.
Salopek has named his journey the Out of Eden Walk. As he walks through different countries landscapes, and cultures, Salopek is documenting what he sees and hears. And he isn't walking alone. During each part of his walk, Paul is joined by a local guide. Along the way, he meets people from small villages, cities, and country farms. Sometimes, they give him a place to stay for a night or two. Often, his hosts share a little bit about their lives with him.
The Out of Eden Walk is well-named. Besides a few rides on boats or ships, Salopek is walking the entire way. No cars. He doesn’t even ride bikes, though he does use pack animals. An important part of Salopek’s mission is to tell the stories of ordinary people. Walking gives him more time to look around and to talk to the people he encounters. He has spoken to thousands of people since his walk began. As he puts it, “I am in a seven, eight, nine-year-long conversation with total strangers.”
Following a story is not new for Paul Salopek. He is a journalist. He has written for The Atlantic, the Chicago Tribune, National Geographic, and other publications. His works have earned many awards, including two Pulitzer Prizes.
As a journalist, Salopek would often fly into an area to cover a story and then quickly leave again. But he felt he was missing part of the story and wanted to dig deeper. The Out of Eden Walk was born from this desire. Salopek calls it slow journalism. The goal is to deeply explore some of the major news stories of our times by talking to ordinary people who are affected. As Salopek describes it, “It is about slowing down enough to actually inhabit the stories of the day and to get to know the people who are behind the headlines.”
4. What is the Out of Eden Walk
A. It is the latest penned work of Paul Salopek.
B. It is a ship journey from Africa to the tip of South America.
C. It is a toured long walk across the continents taken by Paul Salopek.
D. It is a new fashionable way of travelling through different countries.
5. What does Salopek think of the conversation with strangers
A. Fruitful. B. Discouraging.
C. Challenging. D. Time-wasted.
6. Why did Paul Salopek start the Out of Eden Walk
A. To finish his work for the Pulitzer Prizes.
B. To explore the best headlines for the journalism.
C. To unearth the deeper part of the major news stories.
D. To interest the readers in the ancient ordinary people.
7. What do we know about slow journalism
A. Realistic and worthwhile. B. Influential but informal.
C. Humorous and relaxing. D. Efficient and meaningful.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. A
C
Role models are important for inspiring scientists, but new research suggests that scientists who are known for their hard work are more encouraging than scientists who are viewed as naturally brilliant.
In a series of studies, researchers found that young people were more motivated (激励) by scientists whose success was connected with efforts than those whose success was because of natural intelligence, even if that scientist was Albert Einstein.
Danfei Hu, a doctoral student at the Pennsylvania State University, and Janet N. Ann. an assistant professor of Psychology at William Paterson University, said the findings — recently published in Basic and Applied Social Psychology — would help deal with the certain secret about what it takes to succeed in science.
According to the researchers, there is anxiety in the science community about a number of students who run after careers in science during school only to drop out of those career paths once they graduate from college. To help solve the problem, Hu and Ann wanted to research role models, who give the students specific goals, behavior or strategies they can follow.
The researchers performed studies with 176 and 162 participants in each study respectively (分别). In the first study, all participants read the same story about common struggles a scientist met in his science career. However, half were told the story was about Einstein, while half were told it was about Thomas Edison. Although the stories were the same, participants were more likely to believe natural brilliance was the reason for Einstein’s success. In addition, the participants who believe the story was about Edison were more motivated to complete a series of maths problems.
“This proved that people generally seem to view Einstein as a genius, with his success commonly linked to extraordinary talent,” Hu said. “Edison, on the other hand, is known for failing more than 1,000 times when trying to create the light bulb, and his success is linked to his efforts.” Hu added, “Knowing that something great can be achieved through hard work and efforts, more students will step into the science career confidently.”
8. What kind of scientist is more inspiring
A. Those who made important discoveries.
B. Those who were born with a gift.
C. Those who are viewed as great inventors.
D. Those who are famous for their hard work.
9. What is the concern in the science community
A. The students will drop out of school soon.
B. There are fewer role models for students to follow.
C. Fewer students will continue to work on science.
D. Some scientists cannot give students specific goals.
10. Why were some participants motivated to complete a series of maths problems
A. They knew the problems were given by Edison.
B. They believed they could solve the problems by working hard.
C. They believed they were as intelligent as Einstein.
D. They knew they were to work together with Einstein and Edison.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Einstein Is Less Encouraging than Edison
B. Einstein’s Success Story
C. How to Be a Great Scientist
D. Edison’s Achievements Are Greater
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A
D
Libraries are romantic places. The romance is that of reading, and the wealth of human imagining and learning that is contained in them. Access to the knowledge and literary art poetry, fiction, drama)in a library is precious -and particularly valuable to young minds and people of any age with an interest in education.
It would be hard to find anyone who actively disapproves of libraries. But when it comes to reality, Britain’s libraries are on less solid ground. The number of books borrowed in the year ending in March.2021 was 72.9m,down 56%on the previous year. Physical visits also collapsed, from 214.6m to 59.7m.
Of course, this is the behaviour that one would expect during a pandemic. Many libraries were closed during this period, while people were discouraged from unnecessary mixing. Book sales climbed to their highest in a decade in 2021, which suggests that some former users of libraries may have bought books instead.
Private libraries at home, whether large collections or single bookshelves, appear to be developing well. But the hope must be that visits and loans at public libraries will soon return to their former level too. Like any other service, libraries need users. And while booksellers might in one sense be regarded as competitors, in fact the vast majority of those involved in the trade, from publishers to poets, are library lovers.
This has something to do with the romantic idea of the reader as explorer, with every book a door to a new store of feeling or understanding. But it also involves the recognition that if books are to form part of our life, there must be space in public for them. Books can be treasured possessions, but there is also something special about a copy that arrives in your hands having passed through those of others -and that will go on being passed between strangers who share your curiosity.
12. What has happened to British libraries
A. They have been in a bad state. B. They have become romantic places.
C. They have got great appeal for artists. D. They have suffered great loss of users.
13. What has led to the home library boom in Britain
A. People avoid close contact in public. B. Many libraries have been pulled down.
C. People have access to affordable books. D. More people disapprove of public libraries.
14. What does the author try to convey in the last paragraph
A. Books are personal belongings. B. Libraries are a paradise for adventurers.
C. Books should be attached importance to. D. Libraries contribute to human connection.
15. What is the main idea of the text

Technology and Life
It is a great honor for me to deliver a speech concerning “Technology and Life”. With the rapid development of technology, its influences on our daily lives are everywhere.
Thanks to high-tech, we can stay connected with friends and families, no matter where they are. We can easily access information, and even order food and groceries with a few taps on our mobile phones. However, technology also brings negative influences. With the constant exposure to the screens, our eyes get tired. What’s worse, there is always a concern about privacy and data security.
Despite these drawbacks, I think technology’s positive impacts outweigh the negative ones.

It was the middle of a bright sunny day, and Jay and his friends Mike and Tony were riding their dirty bikes on a path. Occasionally Jay and his friends would stop to climb a tree and find a branch to sit on so they could take a break from riding in the heat.
On this day, Jay and the boys were sitting on a tree when Jay spotted something on the ground. “What do you think that could be ” he asked Mike and Tony.
They jumped down and went to take a closer look. They found a gold money clip (钱夹) holding five hundred dollars.
Mike exclaimed (惊叫),“Awesome! We can split up the money, and we will each be much closer to being able to buy the new bikes we want.” “Jay was the one who spotted the cash,” said Tony. “He should get more than us. He should get three hundred dollars, and we should each get one hundred.” “We can't keep the money. It is not ours,” said Jay. “Whoever lost the money was not very responsible and should learn a lesson about not walking around with that much cash on them," yelled Mike,
“Let us all go home and think about this,” said Jay. Mike and Tony agreed. Jay kept the money, and they all rode their bikes home. They decided to meet up after dinner.
Mike and Tony lived on the same street so they rode home together. They were able to talk a bit more. The more they talked, the more they came to see Jay's point. They also thought about how upset they would be if they accidentally lost something that was important to them.
When Jay, Mike and Tony met back up, Mike and Tony said that Jay was right. They all rode to the police station together to turn in the money. The police office r who took the report told them that he was impressed with their honesty.
