21、Diving below the waves can be like entering another world, but for Hong Kong-based National Geographic Explorer Jonathan, it is also like travelling back in time. Jonathan discovered the stories of how underwater ecosystems（生态）have changed through time, and what can be done to stop their decline（数量骤减）.

"I look at coral reefs （珊瑚礁）, "says Jonathan. "What were they like in the past? How have they changed? And what has caused that change? How can we look at that ecosystem today and use my data to better protect it for the future?""

As Jonathan explains, Hong Kong's coral has declined in the past few decades due to factors such as pollution and human activities. Without greater protection measures, some coral species （物种）could disappear from Hong Kong waters forever.

"Hong Kong gives us amazing underwater biodiversity （生物多样性）, "says Shea — another National Geographic Explorer, "However, populations of many species have been killed in large numbers by decades of overfishing and other human activities. "

Faced with such great challenges, Jonathan and Shea insist that swift action is needed to protect Hong Kong's ocean ecosystem, and that better education is a key. "The first step is to understand what we have, "says Jonathan. "Because once you understand, you'll start to care. And once you care, you'll start to protect it. "

Shea adds that, "Through becoming educated, each person can begin to see why it's important to protect our ocean environment, and rebuild that sense of connection between our oceans and our culture, history, and identity. We need to make effort every day into putting ocean protection in the first place. It's a long way to go. "

【1】What's the purpose of Jonathan's looking at the coral reefs?

A．To experience the delights of travelling back in time.

B．To discover the mysteries of underwater ecosystem.

C．To find ways of protecting coral reefs for the future.

D．To appreciate the amazing underwater biodiversity.

【2】What is responsible for the coral declining in Hong Kong?

【4】What is the basic step to protect Hong Kong's ocean ecosystem?

A．Better education.

D．Controlling pollution.

22、When the disease first hit, nursing homes across the United States tried to protect the neighbors. They shut their doors and banned visitors, leaving seniors separated from the outside world.

16-year-old Hita Gupta thought that life wouldn't return to normal for a long time. To support lonely seniors and remind them of how much they're loved, she began delivering care packages to nursing homes in her town of Paoli, Pennsylvania.

“When I received a call from the nursing home, I knew I needed to remind them that they aren't alone, and I did everything I could to make sure they knew that," Hita said.

The teenager's efforts are a part of her non-profit organization Brighten A Day, which she organized in 2018 to "spread joy to seniors, children in the hospital, and frontline workers."

With the help of her 10-year-old brother, Divit Gupta, she has sent out almost 100,000 handwritten cards and packages—complete with puzzles, coloring books, and colored pencils—to nursing homes in countries including Ireland, Australia, and Canada.

“The response has been so incredible," Hita said. “A lot of the seniors cry when they open the packages and read our notes. It's changing people's lives at a time when they need it the most."

Many of the notes are written by Brighten A Day volunteers, who also make videos where they tell jokes, play music, read poetry, or sing. The pair and their volunteers call the seniors to make sure they have someone to talk to.

“No one could imagine someone so young coming up with these ideas and delivering them to us across the country, but Hita found a way. Seniors do not feel forgotten or alone. Instead, we see their expressions of joy and gratitude knowing that someone out there is caring for them," a volunteer said.

“What we do is to give hope and reminders that there were people out there that truly cared about them and their wellbeing," Hita said. "Brighten A Day really does brighten a day."

【1】How did the seniors in nursing homes feel when visitors were not allowed in?

A．Quiet.

B．Delighted.

C．Comfortable.

D．Lonely.

【2】What is the main aim of Hita's Brighten A Day project?

A．To raise more money for nursing homes.

B．To deliver love to seniors at nursing homes.

C．To teach seniors to communicate effectively.

D．To promote the development of the nursing industry.

【3】What can we learm about the Brighten A Day project?

A．It offers its volunteers the special packages.

B．It encourages seniors to use fewer smart devices.

C．It is supported by volunteers across the country.

D．It was started during the disease first hitting this area.

【4】Which of the following words can best describe Hita Gupta?

A．Caring.

B．Curious.

C．Faithful.

D．Professional.

23、IQ is often considered as an important driving factor of success particularly in fields such as science, innovation and technology. In fact many people have endless fascination with the IQ scores of famous people. But the truth is that some of the greatest achievements by our species have primarily relied on qualities such as creativity, imagination, curiosity and empathy (同理心).

Many of these characteristics are rooted in what scientists call “cognitive (认知的) flexibility”—a skill that enables us to switch between different concepts or to adapt behavior to achieve goals in a novel or changing environment Cognitive flexibility provides us with the ability to see that what we are doing is not leading to success and to make the appropriate changes to achieve it.

Cognitive flexibility may have affected how people coped with the pandemic lockdowns (疫情封锁) which produced new challenges around work and schooling. Some of us found it easier than others to adapt our routines to do many activities from home. Such flexible people may also have changed these routines from time to time trying to find better and more varied ways of going about their day. Others, however, struggled and finally became more rigid in their thinking.

Flexible thinking is key to creativity. It also supports academic and work skills such as problem solving. For example, visual artists may be of average intelligence but highly creative and have produced masterpieces. Creativity is also important in science and innovation. We have discovered that successful businessmen who have created multiple companies are more cognitively flexible than managers of a similar age and IQ.

Cognitive flexibility is also associated with high recovery from negative life events as well as higher quality of life in older individuals. It can even be beneficial in emotional and social cognition: studies have shown that cognitive flexibility has a strong link to the ability to understand the emotions, thoughts and intentions of others.

Neuroimaging studies have shown that cognitive flexibility is dependent on a network of frontal brain regions. There are a number of ways to objectively assess people’s cognitive flexibility including the Wisconsin Card Sorting test and the CANTAB Set Shift Task. And the good news is that it seems that you can train cognitive flexibility.

【1】What can we learn from Paragraph 1?

A．The IQ of famous people is mysterious.

B．A driver’s achievement is not determined by IQ.

C．Creativity is the only source of people’s success.

D．IQ may not be the key to human’s achievements.

【2】The underlined word “rigid” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “______”.

A．continued

B．steady

C．conservative

D．hesitant

【3】Which belongs to the consequences of cognitive flexibility?

A．Flexible people tend to stick to their routines.

B．Older individuals are able to avoid misfortunes in life.

C．Businessmen are more likely to succeed than visual artists.

D．Understanding listeners tend to put themselves in others’ shoes.

【4】What would the following paragraph talk about?

A．The Wisconsin Card Sorting test.

B．The application of cognitive flexibility.

C．The ways to develop cognitive flexibility.

D．The importance of training cognitive flexibility.

24、Though many people think of summer as a time to slow down and enjoy a vacation, it can also be the perfect time to make money or get experience. Here are some good summer jobs for you.

Survey-taking

Survey-taking is a way to make money during your summer holiday, especially if you live in an area that doesn’t have many chances. With a computer or smartphone, you can sit on your sofa and search for survey sites such as Surveys On The Go, InboxDollars or Swagbucks. Without much effort, you can start making money for your opinions. However, the ease of use comes with a low earning potential.

Food Delivery(递送)

If you enjoy driving, you can use your car to deliver food. You can sign up to deliver food from restaurants with services such as Uber Eats, DoorDash and Grubhub. Another choice is delivering daily used goods with services such as Postmates, Shipt and Instacart. The earning potential for delivery can be higher than for other jobs because customers often give tips. The disadvantage is that these jobs require you to put in more time.

Photo Applications

If you go to the mall, you can use an app such as Field Agent or Gigwalk to make money by taking pictures of products in stores. See any help-wanted signs in the store windows? Take a picture and get paid for each one you find.

House Sitting and Pet Care

Summer is a time when people take vacations and may need someone to look after their homes or pets. Services such as HouseSitter and MindMyHouse connect homeowners with proper house sitters(看房人). For animal lovers who would rather care for someone’s pet while they are away, you can turn to services like Rover.

26、阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

My wife, Megan, and I went out to dinner with an old friend who we had not seen in a while. There had been some talk of COVID-19 on the news, but it was early in the outbreak and people were still going about their daily routines. Even though everyone in our group felt perfectly fine, we took precautions(预防): We washed our hands with soap, did not share food and had no significantly close contact.

A few days later, our friend called and told us that she had been test positive(阳性) for the coronavirus. She had felt some mild symptoms(症状)for a day or so after that dinner and was able to be tested because she is a doctor. On the following day, I started to feel a little tired. I decided to stay on the master bedroom away from the rest of my family. The next morning, I woke up with a 39-degree fever. That was when we realized that I might have caught the virus from our friend.

At once, Megan called our state’s coronavirus(冠状病毒) hotline, who then called in our primary care doctor and the head of our local hospital system’s coronavirus team. We explained that we had been in contact with someone who has been test positive, and I was having symptoms. They quickly permitted me to receive a test at an urgent care center located five minutes’ drive from my house. The result made my heart sink—I was also tested positive, and the local hospital wasn’t equipped with the facilities to treat my disease. As a mild case, I was recommended to stay at home and quarantine(隔离) myself.

Following the doctor’s advice, Megan and I quarantined ourselves and our children. I started isolation(隔开) in the bedroom, and the only interaction I had with Megan was when she brought in food. Megan slept on a small couch in our home office away from the kids’ rooms. She also minimized her contact with our kids in case she was carrying the virus.

With all the severe symptoms, I suffered a lot.
