21、   On a number of drives throughout my childhood, my mother would suddenly pull over the car to examine a flower by the side of the road or rescue a beetle from tragedy while I, in my late teens and early twenties, sat impatiently in the car.

Though Mother's Day follows Earth Day, for me, they have always been related to each other. My mom has been “green” since she became concerned about the environment. Like her mother and her grandmother before her," mom saves glass jars, empty cheese containers and reuses her plastic bags.

Mom creates a kind of harmonious relationship with wildlife in her yard, She knows to pick the apples on her trees a little early to avoid the bears and that if she leaves the bird feeders out at night, it is likely that they will be knocked down by a family of raccoons, Spiders that make their way into the house and are caught in juice glasses will be set loose in the garden.

I try to teach my children that looking out for the environment starts with being aware of the environment. On busy streets, we look for dandelions (蒲公英) to fly in the wind; we say hello to neighborhood cats and pick up plastic cups and paper bags. This teaching comes easily, I realize, because I was taught so well by example. Mom didn't need to lecture. She simply slowed down enough to enjoy living in it and with that joy came mercy and an instinct for protection.

I am slowing down and it isn't because of the weight of my nearly forty years on the planet， it is out of my concern for the planet itself. I've begun to save glass jars and reuse packing envelopes. I pause in my daily tasks to watch the squirrels race each other in the trees above my house.

Last summer, in the company of my son and daughter, I planted tomatoes in my yard. With the heat of August around me, I ate the first while sitting on my low wall with dirt on my hands. Warm from the sun, it burst on my tongue with a sweetness I immediately, wanted to share with my mom.

B. To stress how much her mother cares about the environment.

C. To stress that all the, older women in her family are environmentalists.

D. Because her mother shows her how to be friendly to nature on Mother S Day.

【2】We can infer from the text that   .

A. the author s mother knows how to get rid of the wildlife in her yard

B. the author 'S mother used to lecture her to protect the environment

C. the author realizes that she should teach her children by example as well

D. the author believes that only by learning to slow down can we enjoy life

【3】What can be learned from the last paragraph?

A. The author is proud of her sweet tomatoes.

B. The author really appreciates her mother's teaching.

C. Planting tomatoes is a way of protecting environment.

D. The author likes eating tomatoes planted by herself.

22、Humans have long been interested greatly in the idea of being able to walk on water. Sadly, biological facts prevent us ever realizing this dream without artificial aid—we simply weigh too much, and all our weight pushes down through our relatively small feet, resulting in a lot of pressure that makes us sink.

However, several types of animals can walk on water. One of the most interesting is the common basilisk Basilicus basilicus, a lizard (蜥蜴) native to Central and South America. It can run across water for a distance of several meters, avoiding getting wet by rapidly hitting the water's surface with its feet. The lizard will reach a speed of 20 steps per second to keep moving forward. For humans, we would need huge feet that we could bring up to our ears in order to create enough “hitting”.

But fortunately there is an alternative: cornflour(玉米淀粉). By adding enough of this common thickening agent to water (and it does take a lot), you can create a special mixture that doesn't behave like normal water. Now, if the surface of the water is hit hard enough, particles(微粒) in the water get together for a moment to make the surface hard. Move quickly enough and put enough force into each step, and you really can walk across the surface of this adequately thick liquid of cornflour.

Fun though all this may sound, it's still rather messy and better read about in theory than carried out in practice. If you must do it, then keep the water wings(救生圈) ready in case you start to sink—and take a bath afterward!

【1】Walking on water hasn't become a reality mainly because humans _________.

A. are not interested in it

B. are afraid to make an attempt

C. have not invented proper tools

D. have biological limitations

【2】What do we know about Basilicus basilicus from the passage?

A. It is light enough to walk on water.

B. It can run across water at a certain speed.

C. Its huge feet make it able to stay above water.

D. Its unique skin keeps it from getting wet in water.

【3】What is the function of the cornflour according to the passage?

A. To help the liquid behave normally.

B. To turn the water into solid.

C. To create a thick liquid.

D. To make the water move rapidly.

【4】What is the author’s attitude toward the idea of humans’ walking on water?

A. It is risky but beneficial.

B. It is impractical though possible in thoery.

C. It is crazy and cannot become a reality.

D. It is interesting and worth trying.

23、Online learning affords you access to programs across the world that might otherwise be highly inconvenient. 【1】 But if you develop skills for effective online learning, you’ll find the courses can be an excellent alternative to a traditional classroom setting.

Treat an online course like a “real” course.

When it comes to online classes, you need to have the discipline to sit down and say, “I am going to work on this.” 【2】 One of the easiest ways to ensure following through is to remember you are paying to take this online course, just as you would for a traditional, in-person class. You must “show up” if you’re going to get real value out of your class.

Hold yourself responsible.

Set goals at the beginning of the semester, and check in with yourself weekly. In a traditional classroom setting, you’ll often be reminded face to face of an assignment’s upcoming due date. But without a professor actively reminding you, it’s up to you to make sure that you complete the work in time. 【3】 If you’re having trouble holding yourself responsible, pair up with a fellow classmate.

【4】

Set up an environment suitable for studying. By completing your work there repeatedly, you’ll begin to establish a routine. Whether your workspace is your kitchen table or a corner in the library, it’s important to determine what type of environment will work best for you. Wherever you choose, make sure you have a high-speed internet connection and the required books, materials, and software for the course.

Actively participate.

Participate in the course’s online discussion to help you better understand course materials and engage with fellow classmates. This might involve commenting on a classmate’s paper on a discussion board or posting a question about a project you’re working on.【5】 Don’t wait until an assignment is almost due to ask questions or report issues. Email your professor and be active in asking for help.

A．Practice time management.

B．Create a regular study space.

C．You also need the determination to follow through.

D．And if you do feel yourself falling behind, speak up.

E．You are not starting an assignment the day before it’s due.

F．However, it can present unique challenges if you are not prepared.

G．You need to block the apps or websites that compete for your attention.

24、How to revise for a test

Studying for tests may be one of the most difficult parts of school. 【1】 If you feel discouraged about an approaching test and need some directions for preparing yourself, consider using the following suggestions to help you out.

Aim foremost to understand the concepts.

Keep the important points in mind, and ignore unnecessary information. 【2】

Ask for help.

When the need arises, it is best to receive help from the others. 【3】 You could also ask him/ her for a set of questions and answers that could help you memorize the information. You could also ask a family member or a friend for help.

Practice in everyday life.

Fit reviewing into everyday life by sticking up notes with sentences you need to remember for the test written upon them. 【4】 You could possibly put one on the bathroom mirror, one at the table and another by the TV. This is optional but highly recommended.

【5】

Find out how much you remember certain things and what’s missing. Decide what you did well in and what you did not so well in. This may boost your chances of getting more marks in the assessment and may also help you remember for next time. For instance, if you are struggling on maths problems based on geometry, then put this down as something that you need to review more than the subjects you are good at.

Review often but little.

Do not push yourself and try reviewing everything in one day. Practice takes time and if you rush, you won’t remember anything.

A．Go through what you have been learning.

B．Mark your practice tests.

C．As long as you remain focused on the main topics, you will be able to do well on the test.

D．However, even the worst test performance could be turned around into a successful attempt.

E．It can be difficult to remember the material and understand which points to study.

F．You will notice them every day and reviewing won’t seem to be boring or dull.

G．Ask your teacher to summarize the topic with all the important points.
