21、   Opportunity arose for a successful experiment in a remote village called Simarkundi surrounded by 1800 acres of jungle which wasn’t even accessible by bicycle — one had to walk 7 km through a dense jungle to reach it. Villagers here were either employed as manual labour in stone mining operations, or in the illegal felling of trees.

Siddharth hadn’t visited the village yet. In one meeting, he asked the local range officer who often interacted with Simarkundi’s residents about what they needed.

What residents needed desperately was a drinking water well. To access water, they had to get it by digging the dry river bed nearby which was then collected in earthen pots. Working with local officials, they began the construction of a 30 - feet drinking water well. Wanting to see if there was any progress on constructing this well, Siddharth visited the village for the first time in January 2006 undertaking a two - hour trek.

The well made him fall in love with the village, and he felt he could succeed unlike his earlier experiments. After the well was constructed, He would walk 14 km to the village back and forth every Sunday. Altogether, he made around 40 such visits on foot and after a few months villagers did some repair work in the forest, which allowed him to visit on a motorcycle. Today, you can visit the village in your car.

There was significant improvement in farm practices and residents raised their income greatly. They stopped cutting trees from the forests. Many backward practices were successfully addressed. They constructed a kuccha road to the village and there isn’t even an inch which isn’t irrigated. All this change happened within two years.

Siddharth was transferred out of Koderma to Ranchi in 2008, but even then he would visit the village every Sunday for the next five years to ensure these changes were permanent.

【1】Why did Siddharth come to Koderma?

A.To do scientific experiments. B.To help develop the backward area.

C.To employ local farmers. D.To do a survey of country life.

【2】Which of the following needed to be handled first?

A.Building roads. B.Closing stone mines.

C.Constructing a drinking well. D.Stopping destroying the forest.

【3】Which word can best describe Siddharth?

A.Talented. B.Stubborn.

C.Committed. D.Courageous.

【4】What does the underlined word “trek” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A.A rough ride. B.A long hard walk.

C.A dangerous drive. D.A long mountain trip.

22、After two years of working from home, we have adapted to communicating digitally, in short bursts of time. Remember in Before Times you could head to the gym after work and then get dressed for dinner and a night out? The pandemic(疫情) has changed this. Our social batteries have run out of charge. It’s been a long time since we had to perform our social role for an extended period.

For 23-year-old Jennie, the excitement of her friends and family to restart their social lives has left her astonished. “At the minute my parents are planning a trip abroad and I keep postponing getting back to them with a date,” she explains. “They don’t know it’s because of all of this. Just the thought of being in a room full of people is scary, it’s like going back to school.”

Heather Garbutt, psychotherapist of The Counselling & Psychotherapy Centre says communication is key to recharging your unused social battery. “Take it slowly and don’t immediately organise a large get-together,” she advises. “Go for a walk with somebody for no more than half an hour and gently get used to being with people again. It may actually be a shock to our system which has been shut down to some degree to cope with absence. We may have that longing to be with others, but that doesn’t mean we are free from anxiety. It would be good to start off with a conversation about what it’s going to be like when you are all together again.”

She says finding some casual topics to discuss also works. Understand that many of you may feel a bit awkward after being physically apart for so long. It’s a bit like learning to walk again after you’ve broken a leg. It may all be off-balance to begin with but you will find a new steadiness with practice. Whatever happens post-pandemic, your loved ones can’t judge if you want to take it easy and not engage in the festivities immediately. We are recovering from a post-pandemic stress disorder, after all.

【1】What has become of us after two years of working from home?

A．We are addicted to chatting with people online.

B．We may feel it impossible to go back to normal.

C．We are quite looking forward to being with people.

D．We may find it hard to communicate with others like before.

【2】What can we learn about Jennie from Para 2?

A．She is excited to see her friends again.

B．She is not on good terms with her family.

C．She is not good at communicating with people.

D．She is anxious about meeting people face to face.

【3】What does Heather Garbutt advise us to do to get reconnected?

A．Pay a visit to a close friend and stay over.

B．Hang out with your friends for several hours.

C．Have a brief chat about your future get-together.

D．Ignore those who are anxious about connecting with others.

【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．How Can We Restore Our Social Batteries?

B．When Can We Speed Up Our Reunion Plan?

C．What Can Help Repair Our Social Networks?

D．Why Did the Pandemic Mess Up Our Social Life?

23、   How many more people can we squeeze onto our fragile planet?  Surely, the Earth must be full? Pretending that human numbers can grow forever, with no ill-effects, is at best innocent and at worst utterly irresponsible.

Biodiversity loss, climate change, pollution, deforestation, water and food shortages — these are all worsened by our huge and ever-increasing numbers. Yet governments and most environmental groups choose to sidestep this giant elephant in the room. The human population was just 2.6 billion in 1950. But it has been 7.7 billion today and according to the UN it will reach 9.7 billion by 2050 and 11.2 billion by the end of the century. Where will so many people live? How will we feed them?

Unless we diffuse this “population bomb”, by the end of the century we will need several Earths to survive. But we can’t have several Earths, and so we will face a future of increasing poverty, food shortages, conflict and environmental degradation.

Admittedly, not everyone agrees with the UN’s predictions. But even the doubters calculate that the human population will grow to 8 or 9 billion sometime between 2040 and 2060. Ultimately, there has to be a limit.

The good news is that the human populations of about two dozen countries, from Poland and Italy to Cuba and Japan, are now decreasing. But that’s not true of most countries. The cradle of overpopulation is in Africa, which is where more than half of global population growth is expected to occur: from 1.3 billion people in 2020 to 4.3 billion in 2100.

The solution isn’t rocket science. There are two drivers of population growth:  birth rates and longevity. We all aim to grow old, after all, but we can reduce birth rates. That’s not to say that anyone should be denied the right to have many children as they like. But it’s a fact that wherever women are empowered and literated, have help with family planning and have access to medical care, they generally choose to have fewer children. And the birth rate falls.

So why the stony silence? Why such a failure of leadership from governments and environmental groups? I think it’s for two reasons. First, calls for population control are often believed racist: relatively rich people in the developed world  blaming poor people in the developing world. Second, it is often thought insincere. The problem is as much about consumerism as it is about population growth: westerners are consuming more and more, so it appears as if they are blaming the  poor for the excesses of the rich. Most population growth is, indeed, taking place among those who consume almost nothing. But the uncomfortable truth is that we all need to consume much less.

Whatever the complications, we urgently need a UN Framework Convention on Population, just as we have for climate change. Either we limit our population growth or the natural world will do it for us.

【1】What are the first three paragraphs mainly about?

A.Environmental degradation made by humans.

B.The increasing poverty coming with illnesses.

C.The problems resulting from the growing population.

D.Water shortages caused by climate change and pollution.

【2】How do governments react to human population?

A.They are too busy with other problems to solve it.

B.They avoid seeking solutions to reduce population.

C.They know the consequence and face the problem.

D.They think the population will decline in the future.

【3】What is practical for birth control according to the passage?

A.Consuming much less than before.

B.Removing the right to have more children.

C.Decreasing population in developed areas.

D.Educating women and providing health care.

【4】What is the author’s attitude to the ever-increasing human population?

A.Neutral. B.Concerned.

C.Skeptical. D.Indifferent.

24、

In winter Hammerfest is a thirty-hour ride by bus from Oslo, though why anyone would want to go there in winter is a question worth considering. It is on the edge of the world, the northernmost town in Europe, as far from London as London is from Tunis, a place of dark and cruel winters, where the sun sinks into the Arctic Ocean in November and does not rise again for ten weeks.

I wanted to see the Northern Lights. Also, I had long harboured a half-formed urge to

experience what life was like in such a remote and forbidding place. Sitting at home in England with a glass of whisky and a book of maps, this had seemed an excellent idea. But now as I picked my way through the grey, late-December slush（融雪） of Oslo I was beginning to have my doubts.

Things had not started well. I had overslept at the hotel, missing breakfast, and had to leap into my clothes. I couldn't find a cab and had to drag my unreasonably overweighted bag eight blocks through slush to the central bus station. I had had huge difficulty persuading the staff at the Kreditkassen Bank on Karl Johans Gate to cash sufficient traveller's cheques to pay the overcharged 1,200-kroner bus fare-they simply could not be made to grasp that the William McGuire Bryson on my passport and the Bill Bryson on my traveller's cheques were both me-and now here I was arriving at the station two minutes before departure, breathless and steaming from the endless uphill exertion（费力）that is my life, and the girl at the ticket counter was telling me that she had no record of my reservation.

"This isn't happening," I said. "I'm still at home in England enjoying Christmas．Pass me a

drop more port, will you, darling?" Actually, I said, "There must be some mistake. Please look

again."

The girl studied the passenger list. "No, Mr Bryson, your name is not here·”

But I could see it, even upside-down. "There it is, second from the bottom.”

"No," the girl decided, "that says Bemt Bjornson. That's a Norwegian name·”

"It doesn't say Bernt Bjornson. It says Bill Bryson. Look at the loop（圆圈） of the 'y', the two

'I's. Miss, please." But she wouldn't have it. "If I miss this bus when does the next one go?"

"Next week at the same time．，，

Oh, splendid.

"Miss, believe me, it says Bill Bryson."

"No, it doesn't."

"Miss, look, I've come from England. I'm carrying some medicine that could save a child's

life.” She didn't buy this. "I want to see the manager."

"He's in Stavanger.”

"Listen, I made a reservation by telephone．If I don't get on this bus I'm going to write a letter to your manager that will cast a shadow over your career prospects（前景）for the rest of this century." This clearly did not alarm her. Then it occurred to me. "If this Bemt Bjornson doesn't show up, can I have his seat?"

"Sure.”

Why don't I think of these things in the first place and save myself the suffering? "Thank you," I said, and dragged my bag outside.

【1】What words can best describe Hammerfest in winter?

A. Grey and dirty.

B. Dark and cold.

C. Unfriendly and expensive.

D. Wild and forbidden.

【2】Why did the author mention the Kreditkassen Bank on Karl Johans Gate?

A. To suggest that people there could be ridiculous and stubborn.

B. To introduce the cultural differences in northern Europe and England.

D. To indicate that the bus fare was very expensive．

【3】What could be inferred from the passage?

A. The author booked his bus ticket with a Norwegian name.

B. The author paid the bus fare by traveller's cheque.

C. The author would hopefully get on the bus．

D. The girl at the ticket counter cared about the author's complaints.

【4】According to the last paragraph, the author probably felt＿at that moment.

A. embarrassed   B. contented

C. regretful   D. grateful

A. the author's journey to the north was not worthwhile

B. the Europeans didn't welcome visitors

C. the author wrote a letter to the girl's manager

D. the author's journey to the north was not smooth

25、   Architect Brian Bononi was at a job, measuring a portrait (相片) studio that had been shut down. That was when he _________ it—dozens upon dozens of family portraits that had been taken but never delivered to those who _________ their photos. He couldn’t get the _________ off his mind. They were waiting to be thrown out, and that didn’t sit right with him.

“My heart _________ every time I looked at the pile,” said Brian. “I knew that those photos _________ a lot to the people who were in them. _________ I didn’t do something, they’d _________ be gone and forgotten.” Then and there he decided to _________ these portraits and reunite as many families with their long-lost portraits as he could.

Brian, with the help of his wife and four children, took all 167 _________ portraits to their house. They developed a system of ____________ photos—alphabetizing all the portraits with the available information. Then they started tracking down the parietal ____________. It’s really a lovely ____________, especially because it turned out to take so much ____________.
