21、   Starring Yi Yangqianxi and Lei Jiayin, new streaming series The Longest Day In Chang’an has been one of the biggest pleasant surprises for fans of TV dramas this summer. Its intense story and well-designed costumes and scenery have captured the attention of viewers, earning it high marks on review platforms.

The Chinese name of the drama is Chang’an 12 Shichen. Each episode covers half a shichen, or one hour of time, telling the story in “real time”. The show takes place during the Shangyuan Festival in Chang’an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty and what is now Xi’an. The story follows Zhang Xiaojing, who has been sentenced to death. Before his execution(死刑), he is appointed by Li Bi, the young chief of the intelligence department, to stop a group of foreign terrorists called the Wolves Squad and protect Chang’an.

One of the main attractions of the show has been its recreation and presentation of the ancient city of Chang’an. To give viewers the feeling that they are traveling in the city, the show’s director Cao Dun has been making use of single shot scenes that show off what the crowded market would have been like during the Lantern Festival in Chang’an. The cast(演员) has also been a major draw. They have been an irreplaceable part of the drama. These experienced actors are the foundation for the drama.

The drama takes license with history to introduce important plot elements, such as watch towers in the city that are manned by sharpshooters who can hit any target in their range. The production team even came up with a detailed secret communication system that these watch towers use to communicate with each other. Another innovation(革新) is the use on screen notes to explain terms that audiences would be unfamiliar with. Such as the term bu liang ren (Lit: not good person), which audiences may mistakenly think refers to a villain in the show. An explanation appears on screen to tell the audience that bu liang ren are specialists trained to catch bad guys. It’s really helpful.

【1】Which of the following best describes the drama?

A.Humorous B.Attractive.

C.Academic. D.Boring.

【2】According to Paragraph 2, what do we know about Zhang Xiaojing?

A.He is a follower of Li Bi.

B.He has been excused for his crime.

C.He is chosen to defeat the terrorists.

D.He once served in the intelligence department.

【3】The show’s director uses the skill of single shot scenes in order to________.

A.make viewers feel personally on the scene.

B.let audiences have a good trip in Chang’an.

C.help audiences understand the history well.

D.show what the Lantern Festival is like.

【4】What does the term “bu liang ren” probably refer to?

A.Someone who is responsible for damage.

B.A person who acts against human principles.

C.A person who has particular skills to catch bad men.

D.Someone whose job is to protect people and their property.

【5】What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A.The explanation for screen notes.

B.The innovation elements of the drama.

C.The audience’s assessments of the drama.

D.The introduction of the communication system.

22、   You know that old saying that laughter is the best medicine. Well, studies have long shown that laughter can have a positive effect both physically and emotionally. In South Korea, a nation more used to holding back its emotions, at least one hospital is encouraging patients to let loose on their regular basis.

Laughing, for those cancer patients and their families, is a weekly exercise at Seoul National University hospital. It is something that does not come easy for them, but an hour of laughter therapy (疗法） is all it takes to fight depression that often follows chemical treatment. Lim Song Li, a therapist at the hospital, was once a depression patient herself. She now is a laughter therapist and says when you laugh, blood vessels expand,and sugar levels drop, producing an abundance of hormones (激素）linked with happiness and pleasure. But in Korean culture, where Confucian tradition dominates(主导）social behavior,laughing is not a nature thing. Korean men are taught not to cry more than three times in their lifetime. And the sound of a Korean woman's laughter should not be heard outside the fence of her home. But inside this hospital,they are letting it out. By the end of the session, they make belief laughs somehow become their own.

If laughing requires effort,more natural to Koreans, it is singing. The sing-song star therapist, famous for her therapy sessions to fight housewife depression,Jeong Ji Song says singing is an easier way to express inner feelings,especially for Korean women brought up in the conservative background. For some,these classes can be a stress-management tool,but for many more who suffer from depression, learning to sing out their heart can be a healing process.

It not only helped Ying Seung Woo come out of severe depression, but also presented her with a new career. After taking up singing therapy, she found a talent in herself-cheer-leading. And now she is taking courses to become a certified therapist.

A.there are few people suffering from depression in South Korea

B.laughter has a positive influence on Korean women' s health

C.people in South Korea are used to expressing their inner feelings

D.people in South Korea have attempted to use laughter therapy

【2】Why does the hospital encourage patients to laugh?

A.Laughter can help ease patients' pain.

B.Laughing can help patients fight depression.

C.Laughter is a natural thing in the Korean society.

D.Laughing is not allowed in the Korean tradition.

【3】·What does the underlined word “healing” in paragraph 3 mean?

B.Controlling.

C.Suffering.

D.Fighting.

26、Directions: Read the following three passages. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

More than any other aspect of the climate crisis, it is the over-production of carbon dioxide that has been valued. But nitrogen and its abundant use in commercial fertilizer, also leads to air pollution and climate change. Evidence suggests their use also contributes to air pollution, increases the rates of cancer and reduces biodiversity, as well as releasing gas (laughing gas).

But nitrogen helps feed around half the world’s population and remains essential for the foreseeable future. With prices of fertilizer rising, many developing countries don’t have access to it, with resulting threats to food security. The global nitrogen challenge involves both reducing fertilizer use, and getting it to where it’s needed most.

A team of scientists has come up with a five-step plan to solve this two-sided problem. Benjamin Houlton, the leader, explains that only by undertaking a holistic approach and combining solutions can the problem be solved on both levels.

The five steps identified involve changing agricultural practices, getting fertilizer to the places it’s needed, reducing nitrogen pollution and finally, both reducing food waste and promoting a change in diet. The latter two are essential because approximately one-quarter of all global food produced is wasted along the supply chain, which means that a large portion of the nitrogen fertilizer applied to crops is ultimately wasted.

Benjamin admits that adding nitrogen to the list of existing climate woes might cause a sense of exhaustion. Nevertheless, he has an encouraging message. “The truth is, nitrogen is a blessing and a curse,” he says, “But if you can reduce the spill-overs of nitrogen, you can quickly get systems to return to a more original state. That makes it very different from CO2. We lock in 30 to 50 years of climate impacts every time we send out a molecule of CO2 into the air. But with nitrogen you can get immediate returns on investment.”
