If you’re honest with yourself, though, you know what a great place school is.【2】. Sure, tests can be stressful, but think of how boring life would be if you didn’t get to learn new things and see other people so often!

Schools are not a new invention. You may have seen some old one-room schoolhouses that have been around for several hundred years or more.【3】.

In fact, education dates back to the very first humans ever to live on Earth. Why? To survive, every generation has found it necessary to pass on its knowledge, skills, values, and traditions to the next generation. How can they do this? Education! Each subsequent generation (后代) must be taught these things.

【4】They educated young people within the family unit. Over time, however, populations grew and societies formed.

Rather than every family being responsible for education, people soon found out that it would be easier and more efficient to have a small group of adults teach a larger group of children.【5】.

23、   Pioneering research from the University of Portsmouth that aims to find a solution to the global plastic pollution crisis is to share in £15. 9 million of investment from the Solent Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP).

The Solent LEP will use the Government's“Getting Building Fund" allocation to finance the expansion of the University's Centre for Enzyme Innovation (CEI),which takes enzymes(酶） from the natural environment and adapts them in the laboratory to recycle and reuse some of our most polluting plastics. The CEI will receive £1 millon investment from the Solent LEP.

The CEI is one of several projects that have been funded by the Solent LEP,which plays a leading role in determining economic priorities in the region. The projects will benefit the region's economic recovery in the present environment.

The CEI Expansion-Industrial Engagement Hub project will almost double the current size of the CEI and create three new specialist laboratories, to bridge the gap between the current research capabilities and what this technology needs to develop into in order to be adopted by industry.

In addition, the Industrial Engagement Hub will be a space for interaction between researchers and industry collaborators and become a testbed for growing local and national partnerships.

Professor Graham Galbraith,Vice-Chancellor of the University of Portsmouth, said:“The CEI is a unique environment for industry and academia to work together to shape, refine,develop and test the new technologies emerging from this ground-breaking research.”

“The funding from the Solent LEP to support the development of the CEI will deliver significant economic and societal benefits and clearly delivers our ambitions for research with impact and sustainability(持续性） as set out in our vision for 2030.”

【1】What's CEI' s experiment?

A.Collecting enzymes. B.Making building material.

C.Removing waste land. D.Recycling materials.

【2】What's CEI' s aim of the project?

A.To get investment for the national program.

B.To help the Solent LEP manage its production.

C.To determine economic priorities in the region.

D.To get a chemical for the reduction of plastic pollution.

【3】What can we know from Professor Graham Galbraith' s words?

A.It is hard to reduce polluting plastics.

B.The LEP funding has short-term benefits.

C.The CEI has connected research and industry.

D.Scientific research must need industries' support.

【4】What's the best title of the text?

A.University Receives Funding for Plastics Recycling

B.What's the Best Way to Get Rid of Polluting Plastics

C.Local and National Partnerships Strengthen the Research

D.Industries' Support is the Key to Reducing Polluting Plastics

24、On Sunday, August 24th, comic book lovers across the world held their breath to watch how much crazy collectors would pay for a rare Superman comic book. Though bids (出价) above the initial asking price of 1 million dollars had been coming in gradually since the copy was placed on the auction site (拍卖网站) eBay on July 14th, things really started to heat up during the final minutes when the price jumped from $2.5 to $2.6 and then $2.7 million, before shooting up to unbelievable 3,207,852 dollars!

This of course was no ordinary Superman comic book, but an edition of the extremely sought-after (很吃香地) No. 1 of Action Comics series — the first publication of the superhero that was born from the creative minds of teenagers Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel. Though Action Comics No. 1, which depicted a diaper-clad baby Superman lifting furniture, had a print run of 200,000 copies, only about 100 are known to exist today.

While the rarity is certainly a reason for the high price, Stephen Fisher, CEO of ComicConnect.com, thinks it also has a lot to do with the fact that Superman was the world’s first superhero! Even so, none of the copies have been able to fetch (售得) as much as the most recent one, simply because they have not been as well-preserved. Graded a rare 9 out of 10 by CGC, a third party grading service for comic books, the book is the highest rated copy of Action Comics No. 1 so far. According to CGC officials, the 76-year-old comic book looks and feels as though it has just come off the newsstand (报摊).

That is not surprising given that the original owner, a Virginian man who bought the book for only 10 cents in 1938, had carefully tucked it away (藏起来) in a wooden box for four decades. Fortunately, when he passed away, the book was bought by a string of collectors who all realized it was a rare treasure that needed to be looked after.

Before this, the highest price paid for an Action Comics No. 1 had been $2 million for a copy sold by Hollywood actor Nicholas Cage in 2011. Ironically, the two teenagers responsible for creating Superman received just 130 dollars when they sold the rights to the superhero to comic book publisher Detective Comics in 1938.

【1】the Superman comic book was placed on eBay on July 14th, .

A. it attracted no attention at all

B. things started to heat up immediately

C. the bid price didn’t go up very quickly at first

D. people thought it was worth millions of dollars

【2】What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

A. Why the comic book is well-preserved.

B. Why the comic book is well worth reading.

C. Why the comic book is worth so much money.

D. Why the comic book has drawn so much attention.

【3】When the other collectors got the comic book after the Virginian man, they .

A. all took very good care of it

B. all liked reading it very much

C. didn’t believe it was worth a fortune

D. all kept it in the same way as that man

【4】What do we know about the creators of Superman?

A. They didn’t want to sell the rights to a comic book publisher.

B. They knew all along Superman would be the most successful comic book.

C. They were professional comic book writers when they created Superman.

D. They didn’t make much money from creating Superman.

25、I have to make a confession: I’ve shed tears at every job I’ve had. I always find it difficult to _________ my emotions. And each time I’ve _________ exactly why these emotional moments are considered so taboo (禁忌). Is it a universal truth that you just can’t cry  _________?

As someone puts it on the internet, as professional women, we’re dealing with the great expectation to “be _________ in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire” while also making enough money to pay rent. _________ , my eyes get a little watery just thinking about it. So if crying at work is unavoidable — yet taboo — what is an ambitious young woman to do to _________ after one of these embarrassing incidents?

My usual routine after an in-office _________ is to remove my contact lenses, have a massive iced-coffee, and _________ it never happened (until it happens again). Clearly, I’m no expert on the _________  professional response. So I spoke with my personal finance coach, Ashley Feinstein Gerstley, to see if she had any  __________  for reducing the humiliation (丢脸).

“It’s so __________ , but telling yourself not to cry usually  __________ making you cry more,” she says. “You’re using all your energy to hold it together, trying to  __________  an awkward situation, but there’s so much pressure that the __________  will almost unavoidably come.  Women __________ to over-apologize, especially at work. If you do end up getting upset, it can be helpful to __________ yourself from the situation. Take a minute to get it together, and come back ready to have a more composed (镇静的) exchange.”

Maybe there’s some __________ in crying. I’ve definitely found that __________ the taboo can lead to greater relationships with __________ . I’ve noticed how tears have helped solve a disconnection or problem that might __________ have gone unsolved. To be honest, I’m hoping to recognize, if not celebrate, the rare office cry as a hidden skill for greater future.

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.

Unshellfish love

Amid a slump in tourism, one national park in Thailand has seen a dramatic rise in visitors. So numerous are the hermit crabs thronging the otherwise empty beaches of Koh Lanta that shells for them to live in have become a scarce commodity. The Thai government moved quickly to ease the housing shortage, launching a public appeal for empty shells that netted over 200 kg. On December 5th these were distributed around the park in a ceremony marking the birthday of the late king, Bhumibol Adulyadej.

Hermit crabs rely on discarded shells to protect their soft bodies, moving to larger shells as they grow. On Koh Lanta and the surrounding smaller islands, their rapid increase seems to be a natural phenomenon, rather than directly related to the absence of tourists. But the shortage of shells may be man-made; pretty ones have long been gathered to be sold as souvenirs. Crabs had begun to make do with potential death-traps such as plastic caps and bottles.

The shell drive was part of a government initiative to “restore the balance of nature”. “I have instructed all national parks to do whatever it takes,” says Varawut Silpa-archa, the minister for natural resources. His inspiration comes from the hiatus (间歇、空隙) in tourism brought on by covid-19. A ban on international visitors and the closure of national parks have helped nature rebound, bringing black-tipped reef sharks back into Thai waters and endangered leatherback turtles back onto Thai beaches. In the coastal provinces of Phang Nga and Phuket, turtles have laid the largest number of eggs for 20 years.

The government has decided to try to mimic the respite (暂缓、休息) forced on it by the coronavirus in future. From now on, all national parks will be required to close for part of the off-season and to limit the number of tourists through a reservation system when they are open. Although such restrictions mean reduced earnings from tourism in the short term, in the longer run more pristine (原始的、未开发的) parks may help to keep the tourists coming.
