21、   You probably think of aggression in its most violent form i.e. shouting matches and fights. Actually, there are varying levels of aggression. There are times when you start to display aggression, but you are not aware of it yourself.【1】

●They believe their opinion is fact

For effective communication to take place it is important to be able to distinguish between opinion and fact.【2】But aggressive people take it one step further. They act as if their opinion is fact, which is telling others that their opinions are irrelevant(不相关的).

●It's all about how it affects them

When something goes wrong, or when considering potential consequences, aggressive people only consider how it influences them. The impact on others is irrelevant to them. 【3】I once knew a girl who, every time she had a quarrel with her boyfriend, used to wake her entire family up so she could tell them how she had been unjustly treated.

●Rapid speech

【4】They are determined to get their point across and have no desire to let the other person offer their input. They want total control of the conversation and are determined that the other person will hear what they have to say.

●Aggressive talking; defensive listening

This refers to the body language that they adopt when they are being aggressive.【5】They may point, spread feet apart with hands on the waist, etc. However, when the other person is speaking they will adopt a more defensive gesture e.g. crossing their arms.

Being familiar with these signs will help you to recognize the aggression quickly, and you will then be able to manage the situation more appropriately.

A．When talking they will likely lean forward.

B．The following are some common signs of aggression.

C．Aggressive people speak fast with little or no pauses.

D．These people are not giving you the opportunity to decline.

E．Offering a suggestion or thoughts on something that has happened is fine.

F．Aggressive people rarely attempt to find workable solutions to problems in life.

G．If something has negative consequences for them, everybody else is expected to suffer the consequences too.

22、Germans have a word “wanderlust”, which translated into English would be the desire to wander. Nowadays the opportunity to travel is endless. Thanks to cheap air tickets, travelling all over the world is very accessible and sometimes it’s even cheaper to fly out of the country than to travel within your own．

I have always had this feeling of wanderlust. As a young girl it started from me wanting to explore my local woods at the back of my garden and as I have grown, so has my sense of adventure. And I found my local woods being replaced with the Brazil wetland, Pantanal, where I went last summer in search of jaguars, snakes and crocodiles.

The thing with travelling is always different. Even if you went to the same country, to the same town and stayed in the exact same house, it would be a completely different experience. The people you meet will be different, and they will tell you their own travelling stories; stories of holiday romances, holiday horrors and stories that appear so suspect that you can barely believe them until something ridiculous happens to you and you find yourself becoming one of those people telling your tales. Or maybe the difference is yourself.

When you travel you are forced to be in harmony with a new culture. Whether it’s eating guinea pig, or staying with a family, where neither of you speak a common language and you have to communicate through hand movements and smiles, the experience gives me itchy feet to do it all again. And although wanderlust is originally a German word, the English idiom reflects a similar idea. Someone with that needs to leave or travel. This desire to explore is found not only in language but in us．

【1】Why is the Brazilian wetland mentioned in paragraph 2?

A．The author’s garden lies near it.

B．It’s similar to the author’s hometown.

C．It’s the desirable place for travel lovers.

D．The author intends to share her nature.

【2】What do we know from paragraph 3?

A．There are many ridiculous travel stories.

B．Travel can change the way people view things.

C．The author prefers to go to the same country.

D．It’s interesting to know local culture and people.

【3】What does the author mean by the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?

A．She feels the urge to take a tour once more.

B．The situation leaves her much discomfort.

C．Her feet feels too tired when she is abroad.

D．The experience makes her lose confidence.

【4】In which section of a website can we read the text?

A．Hobbies of the Germans

B．Life around the world

C．Fashion on the earth

D．City tours and tips

23、Ajay Gupta suffered from polio (小儿麻痹症) when he was six months old. However, seeing his father and grandfather run businesses aroused a deep sense of curiosity within Ajay to explore entrepreneurship.

While sending his daughter to playschool, he realized there was a gap in the quality of education provided. That’s when the idea of starting a playschool chain struck him. He launched Bachpan Play School in 2004 using his personal savings. Starting with one branch in Delhi, today the school has scaled up to 1,100 branches across India.

According to Ajay, what is unique about Bachpan’s story is the impact it has been able to create across Tier Il and Tier III cities in India. “Education institutes seem crowded in big cities, but when you move away from them, the case is different,” says Ajay. Furthermore, in the smaller cities, many schools were established around 40 years ago, and they lacked quality.

Ajay did not set out to penetrate (渗透) Tier II and Tier III cities exactly. His mission was to make preschool education more accessible and standardized. “I did not want Bachpan Play School to be a place where you send your kid for two months,” he says. “We made clear guidelines for teachers and syllabuses (教学大纲) for the kids monthly and annually.” Ajay adds that the particular curriculum, design, books, and well-thought-out strategy along with professional training are what shapes the core of Bachpan Play School chain.

As offline classes shifted to online ones during the pandemic, Ajay’s company launched Bachpan Live platform in April 2020. It also launched Bachpan Live app to offer live classes, online books, and more.

Since its launch, the platform has witnessed about 65,000 downloads. Ajay says, “The team has to consistently work towards improving the platform as parents of today have become very demanding. You cannot sell them anything. They want to see quality programs.”

【1】What did Ajay realize when he sent his daughter to playschool?

A．There was a gap between his daughter and him.

B．His daughter was not satisfied with her playschool.

C．He could make a big profit by running a playschool.

D．Some children couldn’t have access to quality education.

【2】What is special about Bachpan Play School?

A．It is not very competitive in big cities.

B．It is specially designed for disabled children.

C．It is financially supported by the government.

D．It has improved education quality in small cities.

【3】What did Ajay do to promote preschool education?

A．He employed experienced teachers.

B．He designed a two-month course for kids.

C．He made preschool education more formal.

D．He stressed the role of preschool education in society.

【4】What does Ajay expect Bachpan Live platform to do?

B．Invite kids to attend online classes.

C．Replace offline classes in the future.

D．Share more books and classes online.

24、The guzheng is a traditional Chinese musical instrument. It belongs to the zither (齐特琴) family of string instruments. It is the parent of many musical instruments of some other countries.

The guzheng should not be confused with the guqin, another ancient Chinese zither but without bridges. Now the guzheng is zither with movable bridges and usually 21 strings, although it can have from 15-25 strings. The guzheng’s strings were formerly made of silk, though most players used metal strings by the 20th century. Since the mid-20th century most performers use steel strings. The guzheng has a large resonant cavity (共振腔).

The guzheng has existed since the Warring States Period and became especially popular during the Qin dynasty. The number of strings on the guzheng has always fluctuated. There were as few as 6 to as many as 23 strings during the Tang dynasty. The earliest record of the guzheng belonged to the historian Sima Qian. Until 1961, the common guzheng had 16 strings, although by the mid-20th century 18-string guzheng were also in use. In 1961, Xu Zhenggao, together with Wang Xunzhi, introduced the first 21-string guzheng after two years of research and development. In 1960, they also invented the “S-shaped” left string rest, which was quickly adopted by all guzheng makers and is still used today. This curve allows for greater ease in tuning the strings and, combined with strings of different thickness, allows for greater resonance in both the deeper and the higher pitch (音调) ranges. The 21-string guzheng is the most commonly used one, but some traditional musicians still use the 16-string one.

【1】We can infer from Paragraph 1 that ________.

A．the guzheng is a musical instrument originating from Japan

B．there is only one kind of string instrument in China

C．there are many kinds of guzheng in the world

D．many musical instruments in other countries are related to the guzheng

【2】Which of the following material may NOT have been used to make the strings of the guzheng probably?

A．Silk

B．Steel

C．Wood

D．Copper

【3】The underlined word “fluctuated” in paragraph 3 can be replaced by “________”.

A．jumped

B．changed

C．flowed

D．waved

【4】Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A．The guqing is an ancient Chinese zither with bridges.

B．The guzheng became espevially popular in the Tang Dynasty

C．All musicians don’t use the 21-string guzheng.

D．Xu Zhenggao invented the “S-shaped” left string rest himself.
