21、Sustainable tourism focuses on reducing tourism’s negative impacts and on maximizing its positive benefits for communities, cultures, ecosystems, and the planet. There’s never been a better time to rethink past habits and reshape the way we travel. 【1】 As you read, think about which practices you can adopt.

Use efficient means of transportation. In general, planes and cars tend to be the least efficient means of transportation. When vacationing to closer destinations, travel by train or coach to cut your carbon footprint. Once you’re in your destination, consider taking the bus, or cycling around town. 【2】.

Conserve water and energy. Beyond transportation, tourism also relies on energy for heating, lighting, and centricity. This along with intensive water use by tourists can put great pressure on local water supplies and energy services. 【3】 Therefore, when you’re on vacation, do what you can to conserve local resources.

Slow down and stay awhile. Once you’ve reached your destination, you’ll likely spend the majority of your vacation rushing from one place to another. 【4】 Instead, you’d better slow down and park yourself in an area for a while. It will allow you to build deeper connections with local people and get to know the unique culture.

【5】 Travel offers tourists an opportunity to experience other traditions, beliefs and ways of life. Wherever you go, remember that the destination you are visiting is someone else’s home. Be considerate of local people and treat them with dignity. Do your best to leave places like you found them so that future generations of travelers and residents can enjoy them too!

A．Respect local communities.

B．Experience more about local life.

C．Many destinations struggle to keep up with the demand.

D．There are still plenty of businesses that don’t see the value.

E．That’s why we’ve rounded up our tips for sustainable travel.

F．Then you’ll miss out on actually getting to know the destination.

G．Actually, there’s no one-size-fits-all guideline for which method to use.

22、   Concentration is important for students. 【1】. With roommates or family, incoming messages, the internet and a million others, it’s easy to lose focus. Use these tips to make a personal study place perfect for concentration.

Create your quiet space

Muting (静音) your phone and not getting distracted (分散注意力) by the internet are the most important ways. 【2】. For internet distractions, consider downloading an app that can block access to the internet and keep you on track and away from social media.

【3】

Another easy way to get distracted from your study plan is realizing you need something that you forgot outside your study space. If you’re doing work on a laptop, make sure to bring your charger because a failing battery may force you to stop studying before you’ve finished. Be sure to have all of the pens, highlighters and books you will need available.【4】.

Find the right atmosphere

【5】. Students with worksheets, equations (方程式) and practice problems would probably do better with a desk or a large table so that they can spread out and access all of their materials at the same time. Students with lots of their reading may be more comfortable on a sofa or chair where they can settle in and get comfortable while they study. Make sure the environment is best for you.

A．Bring the essentials

B．Keep things organized

C．Locate the study space that interests you

D．Not everyone has the same study style or assignments

E．Getting into the right mindset for serious studying can be difficult

F．Turn your phone on airplane mode so that texts and calls can’t distract you

G．Getting up and interrupting your thought make it really challenging to truly focus

23、Over the years I have been fascinated to read about studies into the power of touch. One famous study examined video footage of how people responded to those near them who had been the victim of a crime. Observing their reaction and comparing their behaviors in non-human primates, researchers found that there are striking similarities between the ways that humans and primates such as chimpanzees comfort one another and demonstrate compassion and care.

But to me, it also speaks about the importance of closeness and intimacy. Another study found that holding hands to comfort a loved one can actually reduce their pain. It found that when people who are close to one another hold hands, their bodies synchronize (同步) their heart rate and breathing rate. Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised, as we have known for many years about the importance of touch. It symbolizes safety and love which is one of the most important aspects for development as a child. Is it any wonder that, when we are upset, distressed and vulnerable as adults, we seek out the same thing?

The value of touch was demonstrated by a series of disturbing experiments on monkeys back in the 1950s by Harry Harlow, an American psychologist. His work showed the incrediable drive for warmth and intimacy that we have. In his experiments, he took young monkeys and placed them in different enclosures. When given a choice between a surrogate (替代) “mother” to cling to made of wire mesh that had a ready supply of milk or a warm, soft mother that didn’t provide any food, they chose, to everyone’s astonishment, the comfort over food. This flew in the face of what was expected. Yet this appeared to show that it was not food, but being comforted and intimate, that was the most important. The experiments showed for the first time how vital the feeling of being loved is to us.

【1】What can be learned from paragraph 1?

A．Humans have different behaviors from chimpanzees before violence.

B．Comparing behavior of humans and primates is necessary.

C．Comforting the victims of violence is important.

D．Humans and primates resemble in some way.

【2】Which example shows the importance of closeness and intimacy?

A．Giving an upset child candies can comfort him.

B．Observing a victim’s reaction releases his pain.

C．Touching a patient’s hands can make him less distressed.

D．Holding the same heart rate illustrates the close relationship.

【3】Why did the people feel surprised at the experiment results?

A．Because they found the monkeys were not hungry at all.

B．Because the monkeys could comfort the surrogate mother.

C．Because the soft mother didn’t provide any food for the monkeys.

D．Because they always assumed that food was most likely to be chosen.

【4】What can be the most suitable title for the passage?

A．The Power of Touch

B．How to Comfort a Loved One

C．Holding Hands Reduces Pain

D．Love and Safety is Essential

24、   A research project called Mineral has created robots that move around in farm fields, collecting information about how plants are growing. The Mineral project is run by a company called X, which is created by Alphabet — the same company that owns Google. X often focuses on projects with big goals that seem almost impossible at first.

With the number of people on earth getting bigger each year, more and more food needs to be grown in order to feed everyone. As weather patterns continue to change because of the climate crisis, this task is becoming even more difficult. Some experts say that more food will need to be grown over the next 50 years than in the last 10,000 years. Above all, X’s employees give special attention to the man-made problems and try to persuade farmers to support their greener plans. When farmers have tried to quickly increase the amount they produce, they’ve used methods that aren’t always good for the nature—more fields, fertilizers, and pesticides.

Mineral’s team spent several years talking to farmers to see what problems they were having and how these problems might be fixed. That led to the creation of special robots, called “plant buggies”, which collect detailed information about crops. At first, the buggies were very simple. They were built on bicycles and took pictures with cell phones. Over time, they’ve been improved repeatedly. The plant buggies roll on four wheels and are high enough to glide over rows of plants without hurting them. They have strong wheels, allowing them to roll through muddy fields and uneven roads easily. They can even do things humans can’t, like counting all of the small buds on a plant.

Before, farmers had information about the soil and the weather, but they couldn’t track every plant. Now, with Mineral’s robots, they can. By collecting lots of information like this, Mineral believes computers can help farmers make predictions about how their plants will grow. For example, if robots can detect which plants have diseases, farmers can quickly get rid of these plants before they ruin the entire crop.

【1】Which word can best describe the company X?

A．Ambitious.

B．Productive.

C．Potential.

D．Profitable.

【2】Which of the following will be the focus of the company X?

A．To solve the climate crisis.

B．To improve the food quality.

C．To control the increasing population.

D．To promote the environmentally-friendly method.

【3】What can we infer from the “plant buggies”?

A．They will replace farmers.

B．They have great mobility.

C．They are designed by local farmers.

D．They can draw pictures of plants.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．How to detect plants’ diseases.

B．How to build the “plant buggies”.

C．The Mineral project uses robots to help farmers.

D．The Mineral project uses computers to make predictions.
