22、   Undesired side-effects and toxicities of drugs, especially in the area of new-drug development are unpredictable and often disastrous. 【1】 . These drugs are either over-the-counter medicine or health nutritional supplements. Patients are convinced that the pills will work wonders inside their bodies. That’s why they usually buy them and take them blindly.

In order for a chemical to be considered a safe drug, it must prove safe and its benefits outweigh the risks through experiments. 【2】. Drugs are approved only after tests have demonstrated that they are relatively safe when used as directed. Thus some very dangerous drugs are approved because they are necessary to treat serious illnesses.

Many people suffer ill effects from drugs called side effects, even though they take the drug exactly as directed. The human population contains a great variety of genetic variation, but drugs are tested on just a few thousand people. 【3】.

Even though the drug has been tested. A patient may also acquire a tolerance for a certain drug, which means the patient has to take even larger doses to produce the desired effect. 【4】. Thus the person becomes so dependent on the drug that he or she will have severe psychological and physical disturbances when the drug is taken away. This will cause great trouble to the patient.

A.When a particular drug is taken by millions, some people may not respond in a predictable way

B.This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur.

C.Tolerance may lead to addiction.

D.However, no substance that has the power to do this is completely safe.

E.Side-effects of drugs are usually provided when patients are advised by doctors to take them.

F.So we should take as little medicine as possible

23、In my ninth-grade World History class, Mrs. Bartlett announced a new project. In groups, we were to create a newspaper around the culture we were studying. On a piece of paper, we wrote the names of three friends we wanted in our group. After collecting all the requests, Mrs. Bartlett informed us that she would take into consideration the names we chose and would let us know the results the next day. I had no doubt that I would get the group of my choice.

The next day, after the bell rang, Mrs. Bartlett called for our attention. She started to call out names. When she reached Group Three, Missy, my best friend’s name, was called. The second, third and fourth members of the group were called. My name was not included. There must be some mistakes! Then I heard it. “The last group: Mauro, Juliette, Rachel, Karina.”

I could feel the tears well in my eyes. How could I face being in that group—the boy who barely spoke English, the one girl who was always covered by long skirts, and the other girl who wore strange clothes. Oh, how badly I wanted to be with my friends. I fought back tears as I walked up to Mrs. Bartlett. I was determined to convince her I should be in the “good” group. “Why...?” I started. She gently placed a hand on my shoulder. “I know what you want, Karina,” she said, “but your group needs you. I need you to help them get a passing grade on this assignment. Only you can help them.”

I was shocked. I was amazed. She had seen something in me I hadn’t seen. “Will you help them?” she asked. I stood straighter. “Yes,” I replied. I couldn’t believe it came out of my mouth, but it did. I bravely walked to my group and sat down.

Halfway through the week, I felt myself enjoying the company of these three misfits(行为怪异的人). I grew sincerely interested in learning something about them. Mauro was struggling with the English language and his lack of friends. Juliette was also alone, because people didn’t understand that she was only allowed to wear long skirts or dresses because of her religion. Rachel wanted to be a fashion designer. They weren’t misfits, just people that no one cared enough about to try to understand except Mrs. Bartlett.

I did learn something that week. I was given a chance to see other people in a new light. Mrs. Bartlett gave us an A on that assignment. We should have handed it right back, for she was the one who truly deserved it.

【1】Which name is most probably included on the writer’s piece of paper?

A．Missy.

B．Mauro.

C．Rachel.

D．Juliette.

【2】What did the writer think of Mrs. Bartlett’s arrangement at first?

A．Favorable.

B．Puzzling.

C．Amazing.

D．Unacceptable.

【3】It can be learned from the passage that ________.

A．Mrs. Bartlett was not aware of what the writer wanted

B．the writer was mistakenly put into Group Four

C．it turned out that the writer enjoyed being in the group

D．the three misfits liked the way they were treated

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．A Group of Misfits

B．An A for Mrs. Bartlett

C．A Challenging Assignment

D．A Wise Choice

24、Individuals who believe their talents can be developed （through hard work, good strategies, and input from others） have a growth mindset （思维模式）.They tend to achieve more than those with a more fixed mindset （those who believe their talents are born）. This is because they worry less about looking smart and they put more energy into learning. 【1】 Let's take a look at three common misconceptions.

1. I already have it, and I always have. People often confuse a growth mindset with being flexible or open-minded or with having a positive outlook — qualities they believe they've simply always had. My colleagues and 1 call this a false growth mindset. 【2】 And that mixture continually evolves with experience. A “pure" growth mindset doesn't exist, which we have to acknowledge in order to attain the benefits we seek.

2. A growth mindset is just about praising and rewarding effort. 【3】 In both settings, outcomes matter. Unproductive effort is never a good thing. It's critical to reward not just effort but learning and progress, and to emphasize the processes that yield these things, such as seeking help from others, trying new strategies, and taking advantage of setbacks to move forward effectively.

3.【4】 Mission statements are wonderful things. You can't argue with values like growth,

empowerment （赋能），or innovation. But what do they mean to employees if the company doesn't carry out policies that make them real and attainable? 【5】 Organizations that embody a growth mindset encourage appropriate risk-taking, knowing that some risks won't work out. They reward employees for important and useful lessons learned, even if a project does not meet its original goals.

A．They just amount to lip service.

B．Just hold a growth mindset, and good things will happen.

C．Everyone is a mixture of fixed mindset and growth mindset.

D．But I often discover that people's understanding of the idea is limited.

E．To remain in a growth zone, we must identify and work with these mistaken ideas.

F．Embrace a growth mindset and you will feel far more empowered and committed.

G．This isn't true for students in schools, and it's not true for employees in organizations.

26、Directions: road the following passage. 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.

A plan to restore green spaces

The UK government has revealed a plan to protect and restore England’s wild life. It focuses on at-risk species by making canals, rivers and streams cleaner and expanding green spaces.

The new Environmental Improvement Plan sets goals to create or restore more than 5,000 square kilometres of wildlife habitats across England and restore 400 miles of rivers. It will create or expand 25 national nature reserves. New woodland will also be planted alongside rivers. At the moment, access to green spaces is not equal across the UK. Around 4% of people live more than 10 minutes away from their nearest park. The Environmental Improvement Plan aims to make sure households in England are within a 15-minute walk to a green space.

As well as helping more people to act close to nature, the plan should increase England’s biodiversity. A species Survival Fund will be set up to help some of England’s most endangered animals, such as red squirrels (松鼠) and watch rats. The Government has set targets to boost these species by 2030. There are also targets to reduce food waste, glass, metal, paper and plastic by 2028, and to improve the quality of water in rivers.

New rules mean that the Government will have to consider the environmental effects of any policy it puts forward. These goals are part of a 25- year plan that was launched in 2018. The aim of the plan is to improve the environment “within a generation ” which is roughly 25 years.

Although lots of people have welcomed the plan, not everyone is impressed. Pail de Zylva, from the charity Friends of the Earth, said it wasn’t clear enough how the goals would be met and that many of them were like promises the Government had already made but not yet delivered.
