21、For many Chinese consumers, a satisfying breakfast is one that includes either hot porridge or steamed buns. Cold sandwiches, which are usually popular with Westerners, are probably one of the last options on their minds. But that is not to say that consumers, especially those in an international city like Shanghai, would avoid everything considered Western for breakfast. For instance, coffee, which has steadily grown in popularity in the country, is one drink that many cannot do without today.

To satisfy this growing demand for breakfast sets that combine elements from the East and the West, food companies have been rolling out a host of new offerings to appeal to the customers. One example is Shanghai Qiao Coffee, which was launched by local time-honored food company Qiaojiashan at the end of 2019. Apart from its traditional dim sum, the store also sells various types of coffee.

According to Shen Yan, deputy manager of Shanghai Qiaojiashan Food Development Cold, the most popular breakfast set at the moment is the steamed vegetable bun paired with black coffee. “The calories that one gets from a meal featuring Chinese din sum and coffee are less than those of a Western breakfast. Since a steamed bun has nearly 200 calories and a cup of black coffee barely has any calories, this combination can be considered healthy and delicious,” said Shen.

Even the smaller shoppers in the food scene are jumping on the East-West breakfast trend. Western food establishments, too, have been rolling out Chinese breakfast options. “Consumers and even cultural heritage will also benefit from the increased competition. If not for the current trend which has revived interest in certain traditional dim sum, these foods could soon be lost to history,” Shen said.

【1】What can we learn about breakfast in Shanghai in paragraph1?

A．People prefer porridge and steamed buns.

B．Cold sandwiches are a popular choice.

C．People avoid western food for breakfast.

D．Coffee is a must for many people.

【2】What can we learn from Shen’s words in the last paragraph?

A．The competition for breakfast sets is of no benefit to consumers.

B．Only big companies have the ability to seize the market share.

C．Western food companies don’t care about East-West breakfast.

D．Some traditional foods might disappear without the combination trend.

【3】What does the author intend to tell us?

A．Chinese consumers show more interest in western food.

B．Western breakfast is warmly welcomed by Shanghai people.

C．The Chinese-Western breakfast set is becoming a hit in Shanghai.

D．Shanghai Qiao Coffee has won great success for its breakfast sets.

22、For introverts interacting with other individuals can be challenging. They need to go to a quiet place to gather their thoughts and recharge. 【1】 On the other hand, extroverts are highly friendly and social. By their very nature, extroverts are well-loved, but that doesn’t mean introverts aren’t just as likable. Here are some reasons why you need introvert friends.

Introverts listen. In group discussions, if extroverts love to talk, introverts like to listen. This means introverts often hear more of what’s occurring around them. They catch all the things others miss.【2】

Introverts are highly creative. There’s evidence that an independent, quiet thought gives birth to more creativity compared to a big brainstorming group. Introverts spend tons of time in their heads.【3】And their minds are constantly imagining, remembering and analyzing, which leads to insights and creativity that can translate to inventive solutions and ideas.

Introverts are persistent and focused.【4】An introverted friend can help you. They don’t give up easily, and love working independently. They are willing to invest the energy and time required. They are less distracted by new possibilities and opportunities.

【5】They don’t use words lightly. Introverts are intentional and thoughtful. Thus when they do speak up in group settings, it’s usually worth your time to listen. This is a refreshing and valuable quality.

Introverts make good friends. An introvert’s ability to listen, natural persistence, and desire for deep relationships can produce devoted friendships. They make trusted, safe friends.

A．Introverts value friends’ promises.

B．They are known for being deep thinkers.

C．Got a problem that needs immediate solving?

D．When introverts say something, they mean it.

E．Introversion is also often confused with shyness.

F．This is because introverted people get their energy from being alone.

G．If you’re in search of friends who will truly hear you, choose introverts.

23、Two years ago, New Jersey became the first state in the U. S. to use learning standards requiring teachers to teach kids about climate change across grade levels and subjects. The standards, which went into effect this fall, introduce students as young as kindergartners to the subject, not just in science class but in the arts, world languages, social studies and physical education.

Climate change has not been completely taught in U.S. schools, largely because of the partisanship (党派分歧) about climate change and many teachers’ limited knowledge about the science behind it. That started to change in 2013, with the publishing of new national science standards, which asked science teachers to introduce students to climate change and its human causes starting in middle school. Still, only 20 states have used the standards. A 2020 report from the National Center for Science Education found that many states that didn’t follow the new guidance weren’t explicit in their standards about the human causes of climate change, and a few even taught wrong ideas about its causes and degree of seriousness. Meanwhile, discussion of climate change outside of science class remains rare (稀少的), educators and experts say.

New Jersey is trying to change that, but it’s not a simple task. Like teachers around the country, educators here are tired after years of COVID-19 disturbance, and, as elsewhere, some schools face serious teacher shortages. On top of this, many educators don’t feel prepared to teach climate change: A 2021 survey of 164 New Jersey teachers found that many had not enough confidence in their knowledge of the subject, and some held wrong ideas about it, confusing the problem with other environmental issues such as plastic pollution.

A more pressing concern is that the lessons are being given unequally across the state. Schools in rich towns tend to have more time and resources to introduce new standards; schools in poorer places that are often the most vulnerable (脆弱的) to climate disasters may lack the resources to do so.

【1】Which is a reason for the incomplete teaching of climate change in U. S. schools before 2013?

A．The shortage of science teachers.

B．The reduction of the science classes.

C．The different opinions on climate change.

D．The poor teaching equipment.

【2】What does the underlined word “explicit” in paragraph 2 mean?

A．Clear.

B．Active.

C．Interested.

D．Confident.

【3】What is the third paragraph mainly about?

A．The state of education in New Jersey.

B．Difficulties in teaching climate change.

C．Working conditions of New Jersey teachers.

D．Effects of COVID-19 on New Jersey education.

【4】Which is the best title for the text?

A．New National Science Standards 2020

B．Discussion of Climate Change at School

C．Teaching Climate Change in Different Subjects

D．A Report of the National Center for Science Education

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I had a problem. Talent Night was coming up, but I had no talents.

Kate can make anything using origami (折纸). Tommy creates breath-taking beats on overturned plastic buckets. Olivia trains her petty dog to do tricks. And those are just my friends. My grade also boasts four dancers, a gymnast, two bakers, a yoga expert, six singers, and five artists, among others.

Every day my teacher asked if I’d decided what to do. And every day I reminded her that I had no talents.

“Nonsense, Benjamin,” she said. “You’ll think of something.”

“I’ll just have to be sick the day of the show,” I announced to my friends one afternoon. “If you get a cold, be sure to cough on me.”

“You must have a talent,” said Kate. “Let’s make a list. What are you good at?”

“Eating,” I answered. “Watching TV.”

Kate rolled her eyes. “Benjamin, be serious.”

“Tormenting (捉弄) my little brother.”

“Are you kidding me?” Kate looked at our friends. “Come on, guys. What are Benjamin’s talents?”

“He’s good with dogs,” said Olivia. “My dog adores him.”

“Oh, great,” I said. “I can sit on the stage while he licks my face. Benjamin Belinski, Human Dog Toy.”

“Benjamin’s funny and humorous,” said Tommy. He turned to me. “You could do a comedy routine.”

“Yeah. Every joke could be about how I have no talents,” I said.

“Benjamin,” said Kate, “maybe you don’t know how to juggle (变戏法), but your birthday parties are the best.”

“Yeah,” agreed Olivia, “and you always get us together to do stuff. Like having game nights or riding bikes after school—or when we held that yard sale. The week you had the flu we didn’t do anything fun.”

“You’re like the glue that holds us together,” added Tommy.

“Oh, great,” I said. “Benjamin Belinski, Human Glue Gun.”

But their comments got me thinking. Lying in bed that night, I came up with a plan so exciting that it took me two hours to fall asleep.
