21、Traditional car-centered transport planning has not only increased greenhouse gas emissions, but also harmfully impacted air quality, road injuries and deaths, and traffic jams. As the world faces the climate crisis, as well as growing risks in road safety, a shift to sustainable transport is needed. Attaining and sustaining high rates of walking and cycling — also known as active mobility — are among the most powerful changes communities can make. It does bring numerous economic, environment, health and social benefits to the community.

First, high rates of active mobility lead to greater connectivity, reduced traffic and parking jam, more reliable travel times and increased public transit ridership. Cities in Southeast Asia lose 2% to 5% of their annual GDP to traffic jam, with Manila in the Philippines suffering the worst loss at $67 million per day. Improving walking and cycling systems can help to lessen the financial loss associated with it.

Second, active travel can help reduce emissions to achieve global targets. Cities contribute 70% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions and 21% of these come from urban transport alone. Shifting to walking and cycling is the quickest and most efficient way to minimize the carbon footprint of transport.

Third, positive effects on public health are also abundant with safe walking and cycling systems. For example, the World Health Organization found that enhancing sustainable mobility in Accra, Ghana, could save up to 5,500 deaths and an additional 33,000 lives from increased physical activity over a 35-year period — and a saving of $15 billion in health care costs.

Finally, traveling by foot or bike even improves justice and social unity. After Istanbul, Turkey, pedestrianized (步行化) its city, a survey showed that 68% of pedestrians interviewed felt more comfortable in the area. Many low-income populations also live with little transport access or unsafe and inconvenient routes to their destinations. Constructing safe active travel networks can improve access to opportunities and services for these disadvantaged groups.

In conclusion, people’s physical, mental, social and economic health benefit from the ability to walk or bike in safe environments.

【1】What can we learn about the car-centered transport?

A．It is known as active mobility.

B．It can have a harmful impact on air quality.

C．It can bring numerous social benefits to the community.

D．It is among the most powerful changes communities can make.

【2】Which is a benefit of active mobility?

A．Avoiding the heath care costs.

B．Solving some traffic problems.

C．Increasing the greenhouse gas emissions.

D．Improving access for the advantaged groups.

【3】What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

A．To introduce the benefits of walking and cycling.

B．To urge people to walk and cycle as much as possible.

C．To show ways of developing the habit of walking and cycling.

D．To explain the consequences of traditional car-centered transport.

22、An unconventional method for growing rice has been found to increase yields(产量) by 20 to 50 percent. Reports from China, India, Southeast Asia and Africa suggest that average yield increases of 20 to 50 percent are regularly being achieved by farmers adopting the "system of rice intensification(集约化)"(SRI)，which needs one-tenth as many seeds and aims to stimulate the root system of plants rather than trying to increase yields in the conventional way by using improved seeds and fertilizers.

The idea of using less to gain more is seen as an important innovation(革新) for adapting farming to climate change and a way to increase yields at a time when human populations are growing fast but traditional plant breeding and genetically modified techniques have failed to increase yields more than a few percentage points, says Norman Uphoff, professor of international agriculture at Cornell.

The new way to grow rice needs only half as much water, and is proving most popular in water-stressed countries, says Tavseef Mairaj Shah, a Ph.D. researcher. "Rice growing in Kashmir largely depends on irrigation systems that draw water from the river Jhelum. But climate change is leading to drier winters, untimely rains, and warmer summers."

“SRI is a great technique, not just from the water-saving perspective but because it offers better yields and soil conditions. Different studies, both at the experimental level and farmer-participative level, have shown that SRl improves yields with less water.” Shah adds.

Some academic, the global seed industry and the international community once rejected reports of “fantastic” yields, accusing farmers of falsifying(篡改）records and researchers of carelessness and "non-science". But more than 600 articles, checked by SRI International at Cornell University, have shown benefits.

Uphoff says, “Attitudes are changing.The original hostility(敌意) has gone." However, the early opposition has resulted in comparatively little scientific research being conducted into SRI and a slow understanding by funders.

【1】How does SRI increase the yields of rice?

A．By sowing more seeds

B．By using improved seeds.

C．By improving its root system.

D．By adopting special fertilizers.

【2】Compared with the conventional method for growing rice, SRI________.

A．needs less water

B．increases labor costs

C．requires better soil conditions

D．depends on genetically modified techniques

【3】What was the global seed industry's initial attitude toward reports on SRI?

A．Curious

B．Skeptical.

C．Approving

D．Uninterested.

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

A．How to Increase Yields

B．People's Attitudes Towards SRI

C．An Innovative Means of Growing Rice

D．The Disadvantages of Conventional Plant Breeding

23、Learn to Cite Sources (引用资料)

During your university education, you’ll be exposed to ideas and scientific theories of scholars and scientists. Unavoidably, your own ideas will be shaped by the ideas you come across. 【1】 That means you should go beyond what you learn in your textbooks or in the library. Your original work is the basis for your professor’s evaluation of your performance. Thus, academic honesty is fundamental in your university education. It demands that you cite the source materials you base your own work on. 【2】

Correctly citing your sources helps you distinguish your own ideas from those of other scholars. On the readers’ side, it permits a reader to determine the depth of your research. 【3】 On the contrary, lack of citing will only raise your reader’s doubt.

So you need to learn when to cite and how to provide an adequate or accurate reference list. If you fail to cite your sources, whether deliberately or carelessly, you will be found responsible for plagiarism (抄袭) . 【4】 If you are not sure, ask your professor for guidance before submitting the paper or report. Keep in mind this general rule: when in doubt, cite!

【5】 For example, students from East Asia may think that copying directly from sources is the proper way to do research. Students in France, preparing for the final examination, may be encouraged to memorize whole passages and copy them into papers. Those cultural differences can lead to false assumptions about academic expectations in the country you study in.

A．Some university students may cheat in different ways.

B．These include other scholars’ ideas, figures, graphs and so on.

C．The academic challenge you face is to make something original.

D．Often, students want to use others’ opinions to support their own essays.

E．It also allows a reader to appreciate your original contribution to the research.

F．For international students, it is important to know local academic expectations.

G．Not knowing academic regulations is an unacceptable excuse for such behavior.

24、Spring fatigue(困倦), also known as spring lethargy, refers to a state of fatigue, lowered energy, or depression, associated with the onset of spring.【1】The good news is that something can be done to avoid it.

Take in more protein and fruits, and less greasy foods

Modern research finds that sleepiness in spring is usually accompanied by insufficient protein, vitamins, and an imbalance of internal acid. To feel light and alert, eat more food that is high in protein, such as salmon and eggs; and fruits rich in vitamins, such as lemon and fresh vegetables.【2】

Get some fresh air

Make sure that air flows properly in your office and bedroom. 【3】 Also, you can go outdoors to get close to nature.

【4】

Try to always have a bottle of water next to you, as it can help to eliminate accumulated toxins and help to fight spring fatigue. You can also add slices of lemon to ginger it up and make it vitamin-rich.

Don’t sleep more, exercise more

Eight hours of sleep is usually enough for adults.【5】Instead, slightly increase the level of your physical activity, which will help to send more oxygen to the brain, making us feel awake and energetic.

A．Drink enough water.

B．Don’t leave out vitamin.

C．Greasy foods and alcohol will have the reverse effect.

D．You can have more milk and cheese, which is high in calcium.

E．Bad airflow will lead to insufficient oxygen, which will affect the brain's performance.

F．Getting longer sleep may reduce activity in the cerebral cortex, making people sleepier.

G．Experts say that spring lethargy could be a warning sign of cardiovascular diseases, such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, or diabetes.

25、I was a boy of nine in 1960. I used to mow the lawn for Mrs. Long. She paid me little for the job, but promised to give me a Christmas present.

I spent much time _________ what it would be. Many boys had baseball gloves or ice skates and I was eager to have any of these. “It would _________ be a baseball glove,” I _________ with myself. “She wouldn’t know much about baseball.” So I was convinced that she would give me ice skates. I even imagined myself upon the skates.

As Christmas approached, it was with _________ that I stopped myself from reporting to Mrs. Long and demanding my present. On December 22, I presented myself at the door of the house. Mrs. Long handed me a small box which under no circumstances could _________ a pair of skates. I was disappointed. When lifting it from her, I was curious about the _________ of the present. It weighed almost nothing.

“What is it?” I asked.

“A kind of magic,” she said. Her words were enough to set my mind _________ with new possibilities.

On Christmas morning, I had this box on my knees. With great _________ I opened the box to find inside ten sheets of black paper, each labeled in colorful letters, Carbon Paper Regal Premium. “What is it?” I asked. Mum took two pieces of white paper, placed between them one of the black paper, and wrote my name on the upper sheet. Then she handed me the second sheet, which her pencil had in no way touched. There was my name!

It was a miracle to my _________ mind. In that one moment, I remembered the ideas about the duplication(复制) of words and the printing and the mystery of spreading ideas. Thank Mrs. Long for her wisdom to guess that a boy might profit from a present totally outside the realm of his ordinary experience.

The __________ present merely satisfies a temporary desire; the great one lights up all the years of life that remain.
