21、It was once unheard-of to be a businessman in China. Nowadays, though, it's quite common to become your own boss. Let's say you have an idea. Maybe you want to open an English school or sell Japanese comics. First, you need a business plan. It sets out what you'll sell and how much everything will cost. Most businesses that fail didn't have this. If you need to borrow money at the start, banks will ask for a detailed plan.

The best starting place for a business plan is the 4Ps: product, place, price and promotion. All these must be strong to be successful.

Product

Your product must have something unique. What makes it special compared to other similar products? If you want to start a noodle shop that has nothing new, don't expect people to show much interest. You can research your product. For food, let people try it for free. For toys, let a few children play with them to see if they like them.

Place

There's no point having a product that people want to buy if your shop is in an empty mall. Think about which type of person is going to buy what you sell. Where do they usually go shopping? When looking at possible places, spend the day there. See how many people pass by. Also, are there other shops nearby selling similar products? If so, how can you be better than them?

Price

Work out how much it costs to make or provide your product. As a general rule, your price will be double the cost. After all, you're also paying for rent, staff and you need to eat too!

Promotion

How can you attract people to your shop? Advertising in newspapers and on TV is expensive. Perhaps you can get free advertising by getting a newspaper to write about your business.

【1】According to the author, the reason why most businesses fail is due to lack of ________.

A．a business plan

B．a shop

C．money

D．successful businessmen

【2】If you want to start a noodle shop, you should ________.

A．expect people to show much interest

B．research your noodles

C．let people try it at a low price

D．let children have a try

【3】What does “If so” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A．There are shops selling the goods like yours.

B．Many people pass by.

C．You should think about which type of person is going to buy what you sell.

D．You should spend the day on possible places.

【4】You are selling toys to children. It costs 5 yuan to make each one. How much should you charge the children for each toy?

A．15 yuan.

B．5 yuan.

C．10 yuan.

D．50 yuan.

【5】The purpose of writing this passage is to ________.

A．introduce different kinds of business

B．give advice on starting your own business

C．show how to get a good business

D．suggest where to set up your business

22、The poaching（偷猎）, or illegal killing, of rhinos(犀牛) in South Africa is growing worse each year．The government recently reported that a record number of rhinos were poached in 2015，a year which had more rhino killings in South Africa than ever before.

The World Wildlife Fund，or WWF，says about 20, 000 rhinos live in South Africa．That is more than 80 percent of the rhinos in the world．Edna Molewa，South Africa’s Environment Minister，says, “During 2015，we are sad to say this，1,215 rhinos were killed．This is a rise in the number of poached rhinos from 1,004 in 2014 and indeed very worrying.”

The animals are hunted for their horns(角)．Many people in Asia believe the horn has curing power，which drives poachers， at all costs，mad for more horns． But there is no scientific evidence for this belief．The horn is made of keratin(角蛋白)．That is the same thing as human hair，fingernails and toenails.

Ms．Molewa said 386 suspected poachers were arrested last year，an increase from the year before．But rhino protection workers say poachers often go unpunished after arrest． South Africa’s legal system is ineffective． Ms． Mo1ewa said more needs to be done and South Africa is taking strong measures to protect rhinos．The efforts include moving some of the animals to secret places in neighboring countries. “Now approximately 100 rhinos have been moved to neighboring states in the SADC region during 2015 and 200 more rhinos will be moved this year,” Molewa said.

Jo Shaw，the rhino program manager at the WWF，said， “We’re talking about a loss of a hundred rhinos a month，or more than three a day．We really need to see effective action not just at a national level but internationally．” She says officials should find the criminal groups responsible for the poaching and punish them. Government officials are to meet in Botswana in March at the Inter-governmental Conference on Illegal Wildlife Trade.

【1】According to paragraph 2, we know ________.

A．half of rhinos live in South Africa

B．less than 1,000 rhinos were killed in 2014

C．the killing in 2015 was more than that in 2014

D．there are only 20,000 rhinos left in the world

【2】What is the main reason for people to hunt rhinos?

A．To get more keratin.

B．To protect the farmland.

C．To use them for decoration.

D．To make money from horns.

【3】Jo Shaw thinks that ________.

A．many criminal groups are well organized

B．new laws are needed to punish the killers

C．rhino protection needs international cooperation

D．conferences about protecting rhinos are to be held every year

【4】What can we infer from the text?

A．Rhino protection has a long way to go.

B．No one would like to buy horns in the future.

C．The illegal killing of rhinos will soon disappear.

D．Rhinos living in South Africa will move to other countries.

23、Tom Brady, a Californian, was an excellent quarterback(四分卫)at Junipero Serra High School. But when he arrived at the University of Michigan, he didn’t see much playing time during his first three years on campus. He considered going back to a college in California, but he decided to stick it out. He didn’t become a starter until the second half of his senior year. After becoming a National Football League(NFL)player, he was not allowed to play as a starter. However, he kept improving his skills and preparing each week like he was the starter.

In 200l, his second season, he only got in on the act because the starter was injured. Fans though Tom would be just a fill-in. But Tom led his team New England Patriots to a victory in his first start, then they won four of five, and then finished the year with six victories. Each week he seemed to get a little better, and people began to recognize him as a dark horse. New England Patriots got into the Super Bowl, fighting against the defending(卫冕的)champions St.Louis Rams. Tom led a final-minute game-winning drive. He was no longer a nobody.

Today, Brady is considered perhaps the greatest quarterback ever. He’d become a superstar. Yet he had never lost that fire, that drive, and that sense that the world didn’t believe in him. At 37, he said that he would play until fifty if his body allowed him to do so. And he even told his teammates that he wanted to play forever if possible.

His teammates had dreamed of being him. Hogan was thirteen in February of 2002 when Brady and New England Patriots beat St.Louis Rams. Lengel was eleven at the time, watching with his grandfather in Kentucky. White was ten in Florida. Mitchell was nine in Georgia. These teammates were Tom’s big fans who since childhood had viewed from TV how he did the impossible. “He gave us the encouragement,” Hogan said.

He kept telling his teammates to keep going when the game wasn’t over. He isn’t the biggest, the fastest, and the strongest football player in the world. But he may be the most strong-minded.

【1】When did Brady start to become known?

A．After he took the place of an NFL player as a starter.

B．When he entered a team of a college in California.

C．After he played for the University of Michigan.

D．When he became an NFL player.

【2】What can we say about Brady after he achieved fame?

A．He cares less about winning or losing.

B．He has kept his strong liking for football.

C．He spends more time improving his team.

D．He has changed his style of playing football.

【3】Why were Brady’s teammates mentioned in Paragraph 4?

A．To show his friendliness to others.

B．To show he has a very strong will.

C．To show he has the best teammates.

D．To show his big influence on others.

【4】What can we learn from Brady’s experiences?

A．Never judge a book by its cover.

B．The secret of success is to stick it out.

C．To eat the fruit, you must climb the tree.

D．In time of danger, one’s mind works fast.

24、Tomatoes are common in daily life. Cat hie Martin, British scientist, has been working on developing purple tomatoes for years. Though the color is unusual, now this special kind of tomatoes has very high levels of antioxidants(AOS,抗氧化剂).

AOS are found naturally in plants like blueberries and red cabbage. Scientists believe AOS may help prevent heart disease and help fight against diseases like diabetes(糖尿病). But tomatoes naturally only have a small amount of AOS in them. Martin wanted to see if she could create tomatoes with lots of AOS by changing the DNA of a tomato plant.

A plant developed from specially created DNA is known as a GMO(转基因生物). Martin added two genes(基因) from a plant called snapdragon. Soon her plants were producing small purple tomatoes with lots of AOS. Even better, the tomatoes remained fresh almost twice as long as normal tomatoes. Martin and other scientists further tested the tomatoes on mice that were likely to get cancer. The mice that were fed the purple tomatoes lived about 30% longer than those fed normal tomatoes. Though that’s good news, experiments on mice don’t always predict what effects on humans will be the same. We need to see more experiments about it.

GMOs were first allowed in America in the late 1990s. But GMO products weren’t popular with customers. Many people were scared by the idea that the foods weren’t natural or safe. There’re still questions about the effects of GMO crops on the environment. However, scientists deny these claims.

Even so, many people have concerns about them. Because of these concerns, most GMO products created over the last 20 years have focused on helping farmers rather than attracting customers.

Anyway, on September 7, 2022, the US approved the purple tomatoes, which is the first time it has approved a GMO plant designed to target human health.

【1】Why did Martin experiment on purple tomatoes?

A．They are available easily.

B．They have a special color.

C．They don’t have enough AOS.

D．They can stop some diseases.

【2】What’s the author s attitude to the test on the mice?

A．Favorable.

B．Unclear.

C．Unsupportive.

D．Doubtful.

【3】What does the underlined word “so” in Paragraph 5 refer to?

A．The environment affects GMO foods.

B．The customers do not like GMO foods.

C．GMO products are used to help farmers.

D．Scientists think GMO products are safe.

【4】What’s the suitable title for the text?

A．Different DNA Can Benefit Plant Growth

B．Scientists Are Changing DNA of Tomatoes

C．Tomatoes with Changed DNA Are Approved

D．Human Health Depends on Changed DNA

25、In a winter evening, Gus Kiebel was driving home from work. Suddenly he _________ a pair of beagles in the flash of his headlights. It was snowing so hard, but he could tell the dogs were wearing collars and labels. Gus parked his truck and _________ the animals. He squatted(蹲) and stretched out his hands to the beagles. He read their labels by his truck’s headlights—these two dogs were a couple. He _________ his phone to call the number listed, but it was snowing so hard that his screen blurred.

Then he placed the dogs in his truck and they snuggled(依偎) together. Gus dialed the number from the dogs’ _________. Unfortunately, the call declined. But Gus dialed again.

It was _________ that these beagles were abandoned. As a boy, Gus had dreamed of owning beagles, but he already had a family dog. The next day, he took the dogs to the shelter to drop them off—on one condition. “I’m not signing the dogs over to you if you’re going to _________ them.” he said. The shelter workers promised him they’d keep the couple together.

In the following days, Gus phoned the shelter _________ to check up on the pair of beagles. Soon after Christmas, the beagles were _________, as a pair, and adopted to a loving family.

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。

Once there lived a little girl named Tara, with her mother in a small hut near the forest. Tara was a good-natured and kind-hearted little girl. Every day she would go to the forest along with her mother to collect woods. That day as usual Tara accompanied her mother to the forest and while her mother was busy collecting woods in the forest, Tara sat there on a piece of log looking at the beautiful trees and birds flying around it. Suddenly a cute little rabbit grabbed her attention and she ran towards the rabbit. As soon as the rabbit saw Tara coming close, it ran towards the jungle and Tara playfully began chasing the rabbit. Tara ran fast and finally caught hold of the rabbit. As soon as Tara held the rabbit in her arms, it suddenly disappeared from her hands and in the air appeared a beautiful fairy. The little girl was taken by surprise and she could not believe her eyes. She asked the fairy, “Who are you?”

The fairy told Tara that a wicked witch（女巫）had cursed her and transformed her into a rabbit. The witch told the fairy that she would return to her original form only if an innocent and kind-hearted person touches her. And when Tara touched the rabbit, the spell of the wicked witch was broken and the fairy was able to return to her original form. The fairy said to the little girl, "Ask for a wish, I will grant you the same.”

Tara could not say a single word as she could still not believe what she saw and heard just now. Understanding Tara's condition, the fairy gave her a magic stick and told Tara that whenever she wants her wish to be fulfilled, just wave the magic stick in the air and ask for the wish. Her wish would be granted at once. The fairy told Tara that only one wish will be fulfilled and disappeared.
