21、Reading books and looking at pictures are great, but nothing facilitates (促进) learning like travel, especially for teenagers. Not only do they get to see a world beyond their neighborhood, they also get to experience it—feel it, taste it, hear it and better understand the world around them.

After nearly four decades in the classroom and traveling the world, Phyllis Duvall Bailey knew this better than anyone else.

Becoming involved in the work in AKA Sorority Inc in US, she worked to educate children about the United Nations. There was no doubt in Bailey's mind that the lessons would mean so much more if the students could see things for themselves.

Starting in 2015, Bailey, 82, set out to take her students to the UN Headquarters in New York City to give them a “Window Seat to the World”, and thus transformed them into global citizens.

Indeed, it is a great opportunity to give students national and international exposure. Since Bailey saw the students as future leaders, she was desperate to expose them to the UN, its mission, its agendas (议程) and its supporting organizations.

She decided to give $10, 000 of her own money to pay for the late June trip, enough to take 10 students aged 14-17 on a four-night stay in New York.

There, they had guided tours of the UN Headquarters and the New York City Harbor (海港).It was Quenyaun Payne's first trip to the city and Taylor Sappington's second. Payne, 17, is a senior at Mceachem High School in the state of Georgia, US. Sappington, 15, is a junior at Therrell High School in Atlanta, Georgia, US.

Both said their visit to the UN was inspiring.

“I like not only how countries are working together but they're focused on common goals like global warming and keeping peace,” Sappington said.

Payne commented, “The trip was amazing. I'm so thankful Mrs. Bailey made it possible.”

Actually, there are a lot of people grateful for the retired teacher's effort. The United Nations Association of Atlanta recently gave Bailey its Humanitarian Award, and the United Nations Association of the US awarded her with the National Education Award.

But Bailey wasn't looking for recognition or even gratitude. Over those four days in New York, she'd already felt it and seen it in the eyes of those 10 teenagers, Payne and Sappington included, who made the trip. “It has been a real joy to get to see and watch their reaction to new experiences,” she said.

【1】The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refers to________.

A．how to organize a trip

B．the benefits of reading

C．how to develop good reading habits

D．the benefits of traveling

【2】How did Bailey help students?

A．She offered students voluntary opportunities at the UN.

B．She taught them some useful life-long learning skills.

C．She paid for trips that helped students see the world.

D．She paid for them to go to school .

【3】What can we infer from Sappington's words?

A．He is determined to work for the UN in the future.

B．He would like to contribute to global affairs.

C．He finds the trip to the UN greatly beneficial.

D．He wants to visit New York City once again.

【4】What would Bailey probably agree with?

A．Students today are more willing to get new experiences.

B．Winning an award motivated her to hard work.

C．Classroom teaching limits students’ development.

D．Students’ gains are more important than the recognition of her efforts.

22、Many gardeners believe that “talking” to their plants helps them grow---it turns out that they may not be crazy after all. According to the scientists from the University of Exeter, plants may keep communicating with each other through a secret “unseen” language.

For their experiment, the scientists picked a cabbage plant that is known to send out a gas when its surface is cut. In order to get video evidence of the communication, they changed the cabbage gene by adding the protein---luciderase(虫荧光素酶), which is what makes fireflies(萤火虫) glow in the dark.

When the changed cabbage plant was in full bloom, they cut a leaf off with a pair of scissors, and almost immediately, thanks to the luciderase, they could see the plant sending out “methyl jasmonate(茉莉酸甲酯)”.

While this was a known fact, what was surprising was the fact that the minute this gas began to give out, the nearby cabbage plants seemed to sense some kind of danger and started to send out a gas that they normally have to keep predators(捕食者) like caterpillars(毛虫) away.

What the scientists are not sure is whether the plants are trying to warn the other leaves or the near plants about the danger---something that will require further research However, the team, which is led by Professor Nick Smirnoff, is quite excited about the findings because this is the first time it has been proved that plants do not live a passive life, but actually move, sense and even communicate with each other.

However, before you get all concerned, they are quite sure that plants do not feel the pain when they are cut, since they do not have nerves---so go ahead and bite into that juicy carrot!

【1】What’s the best title of the passage?

A.  Plants Can Send Some Gas

B.  Plants Can Communicate with Each Other

C.  The “Unseen” Language of Plants

D.  Plants Can’t Feel Pain

A.  The nearby cabbage plants seemed to sense some kind of danger.

B.  The nearby cabbage plants started to send out a gas.

C.  The nearby cabbage plants tried to warn the near plants.

D.  The nearby cabbage plants communicated through a secret language.

【4】According to the experiment, plants ________________.

A.  don’t live a passive life

B.  can feel pain when they are cut

C.  can warn the other leaves about danger

D.  can talk with each other

23、On February 13, 2023, Wu Yibing made history, beating John Isner in a thrilling three-set final at the Dallas Open to become the first man from China to win an ATP title（ATP巡回赛冠军）.

Brought to a tennis court for the first time at just five, initially encouraged by his parents as an exercise to lose weight, Wu soon had his talent discovered by his provincial junior team, kicking off a journey that would change the fate of men's tennis in China. In 2017,Wu Yibing shot to prominence after winning the US Open boys’ tournament at 18 to become the first Chinese to win a major junior title, raising high hopes for the “Wonder Boy” to change the fortune of Chinese men in a sport long dominated by women's success on the professional stage.

In 2018, Wu won his first ATP Challenger title in Shanghai. However, the highly competitive nature of men’s professional tennis hit the rising Wu with a tough reminder after multiple injuries-to his elbow, lower back, shoulder and wrist-forced him to be away from the ATP Tour for close to three years.

He made his return last year and won three ATP Challenger titles before qualifying for the US Open. “Looking back, I feel like I wouldn't have been here if not for the ups and downs over the past few years. I take all the setbacks and struggles as a lesson that helps me mature mentally now,” said Wu.   “Of course there were a lot of doubts because I had surgery and the recovery wasn’t going well. The championship today was a payoff for all the hard work and everyone who’s supported me along the way.”

【1】What do the underlined words “shot to prominence” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Lost weight.

B．Came back to the top.

C．Became famous instantly.

D．Dropped out of the competition.

【2】Why was Wu absent from the ATP Tour for nearly three years?

A．He wanted to change his career.

B．He suffered from serious physical injuries.

C．He didn’t stand out in training for the match.

D．He couldn't handle the pressure of the ATP Tour.

【3】What can we learn from Wu Yibing's statement?

A．No sweat, no sweet.

B．Time waits for no man.

C．Well begun is half done.

D．Strike while the iron is hot.

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A．The significance of ATP title.

B．The development of Chinese tennis.

C．The power of difficulty for athletes.

D．The first Chinese male champion of ATP.

24、A perfumer is responsible for designing and composing perfumes and other fragrance compositions. To become a perfumer, it is important to follow a recognized training at a perfume school. The training to become a perfumer will generally take at least ten years. At the end of the training, a perfumer must be able to distinguish and name about three thousand different basic chemical odors(气味). As a perfumer, you also have to deal with a number of important rules of life that a perfumer must observe, such as not drinking alcohol, not eating spicy dishes and not smoking, because this will seriously affect the sense of smell of a perfumer.

Professional perfumers should in most cases be regarded as chemists. As described earlier, becoming a professional perfumer is not easy, because it is a long and heavy training. It is only the major international perfume brands that employ professional perfumers. This does not change the fact that anyone can try to design perfumes independently. There are quite a lot of people active in the field of making perfume, but these people cannot be classified as professional perfumers.

The development of new perfumes is important, because good perfumes can bring in a lot of money for manufacturers. Those well-known perfumes are usually expensive, because perfume manufacturers spend a lot of budget on development and marketing. The cost of perfume is usually not in the fragrance or perfume bottle. It is the costs in the development and the marketing that make good perfume expensive. In addition, perfume manufacturers spend a lot of time conducting market research and styling.

How exactly a perfumer and the perfume industry work is of course a big secret, but in general, a perfumer spends all day smelling and putting together different scents in order to be able to come up with a new perfume. Nowadays, computers are also used to further analyze certain odors. New fragrances are usually made in different variants until the best result is achieved and the perfume company is satisfied. Developing a new perfume scent generally takes several months after a lot of testing.

【1】What should a perfumer be able to do?

A．Eat spicy food to stimulate the sense.

B．Distinguish three thousand chemical smells.

C．Remove life habits affecting the sense of smell.

D．Take a ten-year-long training at a perfume school.

【2】Which statement is right about professional perfumers?

A．Chemists studying smells are professional perfumers.

B．People producing perfumes actively are professional perfumers.

C．People designing perfumes independently are professional perfumers.

D．International perfume brands employ professional perfumers.

【3】What contributes to the high expense of good perfumes?

A．Cost in perfume development and marketing.

B．Cost in fragrance collection and production.

C．Expense in making stylish perfume bottle.

D．Expense in conducting market feedback research.

【4】Which of the following best describes a perfumer’s work?

A．Boring.

B．Well-paid.

C．Painstaking.

D．Old-fashioned.
