Jane Goodall was born in England in 1934. As a child, she liked to learn
about animals and watch how they behaved, and dreamed of working with wild
animals.
At 11, she decided that she wanted to go to Africa to live with and
write about animals. But this was not the kind of thing young women growing up
in the 1940s usually did. In 1957, Jane Goodall traveled to Africa. She soon
met the well-known scientist Louis Leakey and began working for him as an
assistant. Doctor Leakey saw that Jane had a lot of energy and loved animals.
He asked her if she wanted to study the chimpanzees living by a lake in
Tanzania. Certainly she agreed to take the job.
Observing chimps was not easy work. She learned to watch them from far
away using binoculars. Over time, she slowly gained their trust. She gave the
chimps human names such as David, Flo and Fifi. This unusual method upset
many scientists. Most researchers would have identified the animals using
numbers instead of names. But Jane defended naming them. She said that the
chimpanzees had emotions, minds and different personalities, with complex
family and social relationships. She observed they were meat eaters and skilled
hunters. Later, she made an even more surprising discovery. She saw chimps
making and using tools to help them trap insects. Her reports also upset many
old beliefs. When she wrote to Louis Leakey to tell him about her discovery, he
responded by saying: “Now we must redefine ‘tool’, redefine ‘man’, or accept
chimpanzees as human.”
Jane Goodall spent many years studying chimps and reported chimp
behavior that no one else had ever seen before. She has written many books for
adults and children about wild chimpanzees. However, the destruction of the
chimp’s natural environment led Jane Goodall to give her full attention to
protection efforts. She spends about 300 days out of the year traveling around
the world to discuss her many projects and goals. And Jane Goodall’s most
recent book is called Hope for Animals and Their World.

It used to be mostly the military that used small, unpiloted airplane,
called “drones”. The little planes were very costly. But the fast rate of
development of computer technology, image sensing devices, satellite navigation
and smartphones has led to lower-priced drones. Researchers and developers have
learned how to build smaller and less-costly drones sought by individuals,
companies and governments.
Romain Faroux is a French businessman who starts companies. His father
was a farmer. He believed drones could help farmers. He helped create a company
that developed a small drone that could be controlled by people on the ground
with smartphones or tablets, depending on the application of the technology of
GPS. They called it “Agridrone”. It uses a special “optical sensor (光学传感器)” to examine crops. He says the technology used
is similar to that used by smartphones—except it has wings.
A computer program directs the drone to fly over the crops. The sensor
on the drone records four different-colored “bands” of sunlight that are
reflected off the crops.
Jean-Baptiste Bruggeman, who is a farmer, says the drone flies over his
crops at different times of the season, which provides a lot of information
about his crops.
He says the drone pictures show him the exact amount of fertilizer (肥料) the crops need. He says it also shows exactly
where the fertilizer is needed. Farmers use information gathered by the
Agridrone to place fertilizer only in areas where it was needed. He says some
areas of a field may need less than others. As a result, there is reduced
nitrogen from the fertilizer after the harvest, which reduces pollution. Before
they used the drones, farmers would put the same amount of fertilizer
everywhere. He notes drones also save time because farmers can examine up to
30, 000 square metres.
28.
What used to be people’s concern of using drones?
A. Their security. B.
Their price. C.
Their size. D.
Their function.
29. What
is special for an “Agridrone”?
A.
It can rely on the technology of GPS.
B.
It can be controlled by smartphones.
C.
It can direct its flight with an optical sensor.
DIt can examine crops and provide information.
30.
According to Mr. Bruggeman, by using drones he enjoys all the benefits EXCEPT
_______.
A. saving money B.
saving time
C. helping nature D.
increasing production
31.
What is the passage mainly about?
A. A
businessman built a drone for farmers.
B.
Many people have begun to use drones.
C.
Farmers are using drones to monitor their crops.
D.
The development of technologies leads to new drones.

The kid’s face is glowing green from the iPad in her hands, which shows
a cartoon boy singing a nursery rhyme and dancing with dinosaurs. She’s so
attracted that she doesn’t respond when her mother calls her name. “It’s
literally like crack for her,” says her mom Meng Zhou at their home.
It is CoComelon, which may be the most streamed children’s entertainment
program in the world. The show was watched for 33 billion minutes last year and
had 3.6 billion views on YouTube in January, as many as three-quarters of whom
were from outside the U. S. . CoComelon was a Top 10 show on Netflix for more
than 100 straight days in 2021, and its music is streamed 1.3 million times a
day on Spotify.
CoComelon is not only a ratings juggernaut (收视率主宰). It’s also a model for a new approach to
children’s TV. A room of adults could work very hard for years on a concept
that helped kids learn important ideas, only to find out viewers weren’t
interested. CoComelon’s parent company, Moonbug Entertainment, searches digital
platforms like YouTube for popular kids’ programming to figure out what the
audience want to watch.
It’s clear that much of CoComelon’s popularity is caused by this
program. As parents juggled childcare and remote work, demand for kid
content increased greatly, thus making CoComelon successful. The success of the
show is the influence that CoComelon has on babies and kids. You can see the
evidence in the dozens of TikTok videos showing kids who hear the marimba tones
of its theme song. And, Zhou’s daughter’s third word, after Mama and Dada, was
CoCo.
As the show and others like it become inescapable, parents are going to
have to deal with whether this type of children’s programming works for their
families. Sure, their kids may love it — but does that mean it’s any good for
them?
32.
Why does the author mention the kid in the first paragraph?
A. To explain a phenomenon. B.
To introduce a topic.
C. To make a prediction. D.
To present a fact.
33.
What do we know about Cocomelon from the text?
A.
It only attracts babies and kids in the U. S.
B.
Its music is streamed 1. 3 million times a day on Netflix.
C.
It serves as a model showing how to make children’s TV.
D.
It is the most popular entertainment program on YouTube.
34.
What does the underlined word “juggled” mean in Paragraph 4?
A. Balanced. B.
Matched. C.
Compared. D.
Connected.
35.
What’s the author’s attitude towards the popularity of Cocomelon?
A. Objective. B.
Dissatisfied. C.

True friend from a distant land
International friends can come in many shapes and sizes.
However they arrive on the scene, they are always appreciated, especially in
times of turbulence. Michael Lindsay (1909 — 94) is a case in point.
After graduating from the University of Oxford in 1931,
Lindsay arrived in China in 1937 on a ship from Canada intending merely to
teach economics at Beiping Yenching University, the current Peking University.
He traveled with Norman Bethune? the Canadian doctor who dedicated his life to
medicine in China during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression
(1931 — 45).
Lindsay left Beijing at the end of 1941, and went to the Communist-led Jinchaji base(晋察冀边区)together with his wife Li Xiaoli, who was a Shanxi local and
a former student of his.
“Lindsay was inspired by the hard work local Chinese people
made in fighting against Japanese aggression. After learning that Chinese
armies on the frontlines were suffering supply shortages, Lindsay was
determined to lend a hand," says Yan Juhai, a retired official from
Shanxi's Lyuliang city. "In the Jinchaji base, NieRongzhen( 1899 — 1992),
the base's top commander, appointed him to work as the communications expert,
where he became a full-time radio technician contributing greatly incommunication technology innovation and
training," says Yan.
In 1944 Lindsay and his wife arrived in Yan'an in Shaanxi province and helped fix its
telecommunication equipment. They stayed for 18
months in Yan'an, and after the victory in the War of Resistance Against
Japanese Aggression, they decided to return to the United Kingdom to visit
their parents.

For centuries , tea has been used for far more than
quenching thirst. Around the world people drink it to relax, reinvigorate and
relieve, and it's something we need now more than ever.
Even in the United States, a long coffee-dominated country,
tea drinking is growing in popularity, with the country consuming 0. 4
kilograms (14 ounces 盎司)of tea leaves per
person a year compared with 0. 36 kilograms (12. 7 ounces) in 2007according to the United Nations, as people switch away from
soda，milk and fruit drinks.
Scientists are beginning to look into just how tea might
affect mood and cognition. Specifically, they're investigating whether its
relaxing and refreshing effects are a direct biological outcome of the
compounds in tea or whether they come from the context in which the
drink is consumed—preparing
your tea, choosing your favorite cup and sitting down for a brief break from
the world. Or both.
Drinking green tea has been found to improve brain function
in healthy people, said Stefan Borgward, chair and director
of the department of psychiatry and psychotherapy at the University of Lubeck,
Germany.
In a 2014 study, he
gave one or two cups of green tea to 12 healthy volunteers and imaged their
brains to analyze changes in connectivity inside certain brain regions.
“We noticed an increased connectivity in regions of the brain
associated with working memory," he said via email.
And a 2017 review of more than 100 studies he coauthored found that
green tea can impact the brain in three ways： It can influence psychopathological state such as reducing
anxiety； cognition by
benefiting memory and attention； and brain function, specifically memory.
That review concluded that "it would be desirable"
for more Westerners to consume at least 100 milliliters （3. 3 fluid ounces） of green tea each day “to protect neurocognitive（神经认知）function.
”
However, Borgward , cautioned that the effects aren't large,
and the evidence is mainly provided by small-scale studies.
28. How does the
author introduce the tendency of drinking in the US?
A.
By showing examples. B.
By explaining reasons.
C.
By making a comparison. D. By checking existing facts.
29. What is
paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Scientists are
looking into why tea makes people relaxed and refreshed.
B. The context in
which the drink is consumed is very important.
C. People's
relaxation is the direct biological outcome of the ingredients in tea.
D.Preparing tea, choosing a cup and sitting down for a brief rest is amazing.
30. What can we
conclude from Stefan's research?
A. Tea is a cure for
a neurocognitive disease.
B. Green tea is
particularly beneficial to our memory.
C. Drinking tea
every day can prevent us from getting ill.
D. Westernersdrink less than 100 milliliters of green
tea.
31. What is the
researcher's attitude towards the finding?
A. Supportive B. doubtful C.
unclear D.
objective
D
Scientists at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology（麻省理工学院）have
turned spider webs into music---creating an strange soundtrack that could help
them better
understand how the spiders output their complex creations and
even how they communicate.
The MIT team worked with Berlin-based artist Tomas Saraceno
to take 2D （two-
dimensional） laser（激光）scans
of a spider web, which were linked together and made into a mathematical model
that could recreate the web in 3D in VR（virtual reality）. They also worked with MIT's music department to create the virtual instrument.
“Even though the web looks really random（随机），there
actually are a lot of inside structures and you can visualize （可视化）them and you can look at them,but it's really hard to grasp for the human
imagination or human brain to understand all these structural details,"
said MIT engineering professor Markus Buehler, who presented the work on Monday
at a virtual meeting of the American Chemical Society.
Listening to the music while moving through the VR spider web
lets you see and hear these
structural changes and gives a better idea of how spiders see the world, he
told CNN. “Spiders use vibrations （振动）as
a way to locate themselves, to communicate with other spiders and so the idea
of thinking really like a spider would experience the world was something that
was very important to us as spider material scientists," Buehler said.
Spiders are able to build their webs without shelves or supports, so having
a better idea of how they work could lead to the development of advanced new 3D
printing techniques. “The reason why I did that is I wanted to be able to get
information really from the spider world, which is very weird and
mysterious," Buehler explained. In addition to the scientific value,
Buehler said the webs are musically interesting and that you can hear the
sounds the spider creates during construction. "It's unusual and eerie and
scary, but finally beautiful." he described.
32. What have MIT scientists done according to the passage?
A. They have translated spider webs into sounds.
B. They have made a mathematical model to produce webs.
C. They have created a soundtrack to catch spiders.
D. They have known how spiders communicate.
33. What can we know about spider webs from paragraph 3?
A. Their structures are beautiful and clear.
B. Professor Markus Buehler knows them well.
C. The American Chemical Society presents the result.
D. They are complex for people to figure it out.
34. In which field will the study be helpful?
A. virtual reality B. printing C.
painting D.
film-making
35. What is the main idea of the
passage?
A. It tells us that the music created by spiders is scary.
B. It shows how the researchers carry out the experiment.
C. It presents a new and creative way to study spiders.
D. It explains why scientists did the experiment.

Unforgettable Things to Do in Tanzania
Climb Mount Kilimanjaro
Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is among the most
adventurous things to do in Tanzania. It’s a big tourist attraction with around
35,000 visitors attempting the hike each year. However, it’s not overcrowded.
And it’s still an adventure to be especially proud of because not everyone
makes it all the way. You won’t need any special climbing equipment. Just bring
proper clothing, food, water, and an adventurous attitude.
Get a Taste of Local Urban Life in Arusha
In Arusha, you can experience what city life is
like in the country. The city sits at the foothills of Mount Meru, surrounded
by large fields of corn, beans, coffee, and wheat. You can buy cheap, fresh
local produce in markets throughout the town. The cultural center hosts African
art and culture exhibits. It’s good place to purchase a souvenir or two.
Visit Some Prehistoric (史前的) Sites
The great rift (裂缝) valley runs all the way from Lebanon to
Mozambique. This rift is where human life is believed to have begun. At Isimila
Gorge, you can look at stone age tools from almost 100,000 years ago. There’s
also a collection of fossils of extinct animals. This find, dating back3
million years, helps us to learn how humans evolved (进化) in Africa.
Watch Beautiful Birds by Lake Manyara
Lake Manyara is not only a beautiful piece of
nature. It’s also home to about 300 species of migratory birds. You can find
various eagles, storks, and kingfishers. But what makes this lake most famous
is the pink flamingo (火烈鸟) population. You can find thousands of flamingos
here. It’s a big attraction for bird watchers and photographers.

How do you make a restaurant business an
overnight success at the age of 52? Ray Kroc said, “I was an overnight success,but 30 years is a long, long night.”
In 1917, 15-year-old Ray Kroc lied about his age
to join the Red Cross as an ambulance driver in World War Ⅰ, but the war ended before he completed his training.
He then worked as a piano player, and a paper cup salesman. In 1954, he visited
restaurant in San Bernardino, California. There he found the small but
successful restaurant run by brothers Dick and Mac McDonald, and was surprised
by their effective (有效的) operation. The McDonald’s brothers produced a
limited menu, concentrating on just few items—burgers, fries and drinks—which
allowed them to focus on quality and quick service.
They were looking for new franchising agent (特许经销商) and Kroc saw chance. In 1955, he founded
McDonald’s System, Inc. By 1958, MeDonald’s had sold its 100 millionth
hamburger.
In 1961, Kroc started a training program later
called Hamburger University, at a new McDonald’s restaurant in Elk Grove
Village, Illinois. There, franchisees (特许证持有人) were trained on the proper methods for running
successful McDonald’s’ restaurant. Hamburger University used a research and
development laboratory to develop new cooking, freezing, storing and serving
methods. Today, more than 275,000 franchisees, managers, and employees have
graduated from the program.
Right up until he died on January 14, 1984, Ray
Kroc never stopped working for McDonald’s. His legacy provides McDonald’s
customers with great tasty, inexpensive food; staff and franchisees with
chances for growth; and suppliers with a shared promise to provide the highest

László Bíró, a Hungarian, was the father of one
of the 20th century’s most successful inventions—ballpoint pen. He worked in
medicine, oil industry, motor racing and painting. It was when he was a
newspaper editor that he became disappointed by the nibs (metal points) of pens
which leaked (漏)
ink and tore paper. One day, he was in a Budapest printing shop and saw an ink
that dried as soon as it touched paper. “It got me thinking how this process (过程) could be simplified right down to the level of an
ordinary pen,” he recalled later.
The quick-drying ink used in printing was too
thick to flow from a fountain pen, so Bíró’s brother, George, who is an expert
in chemistry, came up with a new design. After several years of experiments,
Biro replaced the pen’s metal writing nib with the new design bearing a tiny
ball in its tip with the help of his brother. As the pen moved along the paper,
the ball rolled, picking up ink from the ink container and putting it smoothly
on the paper.
Bíró sold his patent (专利) to Baron Marcel Bich of France for 2 million
dollars. In 1950 Bich produced his own cheap, disposable (一次性的) ballpoint pen. It was sold throughout the
market and in 1965 the French government allowed it to be used in schools, with
other countries following suit, such as Argentina. Before long, the ballpoint
was becoming an increasingly popular piece of stationery (文具). Today, around 15 million ballpoint pens are
sold worldwide every day. People will always remember Biro for his invention.
Today in many English-speaking countries, people still use the word “biro” to
refer to any kind of ballpoint pen Millions of people use it all over the world
every day.
Bíró used to hear people say the ballpoint was
ruining writing skills. He would smile and say, “Well, writing comes from the
heart. If we can help the hand to perform the task, what is so wrong with
that?”
28.
When did Biro decide to invent a new pen?
A. When he worked in the oil industry. B. When he saw the
quick-drying ink.
C. When he began to use fountain pens. D. When he was buying a
printing machine.
29.
What did George help Biro do?
A.
Design the ballpoint pen.
B.
Invent a pen-friendly kind of paper.
C.
Manage to make printing ink thicker.
D.
Produce the pen’s metal writing nib.
30.
Where were ballpoint pens first put on the market?
A. In Hungary. B.
In England. C. In
France. D. In
Argentina.

C.
Biro regretted inventing the ballpoint pen.
D.
The ballpoint pen was welcome at the market.

As wildfires continued to sweep across
Australia, the loss of life in the area was reaching astonishing numbers.
Ecologists (生态学家) at
the University of Sydney said that nearly half a billion animals and plants had
been wiped out since the fires began several months before. Images and videos
from the area showed kangaroos trying to escape from burning forests and
charred (烧焦的)
bodies of koalas lying on the ground.
Koalas, which had been already under threat
because of significant habitat loss, were hit particularly hard compared with
other animals. Ecologists said nearly 8,000 koalas—about one-third of the
population in their primary habitat-were believed to have died from the big
fires. Professor Dieter Hochuli from the University of Sydney said it wasn’t
just the well- known species, such as kangaroos, koalas and emus(鸸鹋), that were in danger. Insects also suffered
losses. Additionally, many rare plant species might have disappeared
completely.
While animal hospitals were taking in as many
animals as possible to treat burns and nursed them back to health, services had
overall struggled to keep up with the amount of care needed. And the animals
that had survived would have trouble finding food and shelters among the
ongoing flames, so they were still in a dangerous situation.
“We’re getting a lot of lessons out of this and
it’s just showing how unprepared we are,” Dr. Sussan Ley said. “Now Australia
is burning and national parks and our native animals are being destroyed.
People have lost homes. People have died. Firefighters have been killed
defending communities, most recently last night. There’s no protocols (拟定草案) in place even wildlife carers dont’ have
protocols for when they can go in after fire. It’s our national government that
is failing us.”
32.
What’s the purpose of the second paragraph?
A.
To explain why there were so many rare animals in Australia.
B.
To show the terrible effect Australian wildfires had on species.
C.
