21、 Yo-Yo Ma is an American cellist (大提琴家) born in Paris to Chinese parents. His musical career is a testament to his belief in culture’s power to generate trust and understanding. Whether performing works, engaging unexpected musical forms, or working with communities and institutions to explore culture’s role in society, he works to create a better world that begins with culture.
Expanding upon this belief, in 1998 he established Silkroad, a collective of artists worldwide creating music that engages many traditions. In addition to presenting performances, Silkroad cooperates with museums and universities to develop training programs for teachers, musicians, and learners of all ages. Through his work with Silkroad, he frequently performs lesser-known music.
Besides, he partners with communities and institutions to develop programs that champion culture’s power to transform lives and create a more connected world. Among his many roles, he is artistic director of the annual Youth Music Culture Guangdong festival, a UN Messenger of Peace, and the first artist ever appointed to the World Economic Forum’s board of trustees.
When the pandemic began, Yo-Yo began an online series titled “Songs of Comfort” to ease anxieties. His short, self-shot videos soon reached over 18 million people. On March 13, 2021, after receiving the 2nd COVID-19 shot, he transformed a clinic into a temporary concert hall, in a moment that residents called a symbolic representation of “the light at the end of the tunnel”.
Yo-Yo Ma once said every generation has a chance to do better, to create a world that works for all. To him, doing better begins with culture—the point at which the arts, sciences, and society cross.

22、Scientists, conservation organizations and governments are trying to stop the trend of extinction. They often focus efforts on protected areas such as national parks and wildlife preserves. But with as many as a million species at risk, this approach may not be enough to conserve wildlife, especially in a world increasingly affected by climate change.
Slowing the mass extinction that now appears to be underway will require more creative means of coexisting alongside wild plants and animals. A new study stresses the effectiveness of some such approaches by examining native-managed lands.
“We show really strongly that, from a biodiversity standpoint in terms of species richness, native-managed lands are as important as protected areas,’’ says biologist Richard Schuster of Carleton University. Schuster and his team analyzed more than 15, 000 areas in Australia, Brazil and Canada. They found that the total diversity of birds, mammals, amphibians(两栖动物)and reptiles was highest on lands either managed or comanaged by native groups. For threatened species, indigenous lands scored slightly higher than protected lands on overall species richness.
Each country has a different geography, climate and history. Yet surprisingly, Schuster says the best indicator for species diversity is whether a given area was managed by a native community. He points out that practices such as sustainable hunting and fishing are more likely to occur in such areas. It’s really important to listen to the people who live on the land and encourage them to manage their lands on their own. He also adds that we need to cooperate with native communities. If so, we may help the world’s countries to better meet a wide range of conservation goals. In a word, we really need to work as a global community to prevent the extinction crisis that we’re facing right now.

C．Local management of lands may provide a model for mnaintaining biodiversity.

23、In 1986, I watched my first soccer match on my parents’ big box television. I was six, and ever since then, I have dreamed of attending the World Cup.
This year, I traveled to Brazil to make my dream a reality. The first match I attended was between Australia and Spain. Within minutes of walking into the stadium, I found myself surrounded by the excited fans, talking and cheering together. Unlike what one normally sees on the news, this match was mainly peaceful except for one fight. When the fight started, the whole section began chanting(呼喊)with one voice, asking those fighting to stop. When they didn’t, the rabble-rousers were sent out by security guards minutes later.
What struck me about the games I attended was the sense of camaraderie. I met soccer fans from different countries. Sometimes we were cheering for the same team and sometimes for opposite teams, but that didn’t stop us from becoming friends. The stands were not divided between teams, and the interaction was often spirit-lifting.
I also watched the game in Sao Paulo that ousted(淘汰)Brazil from the World Cup. I was with friends at a large bar which hosted a mix of Brazilian and German supporters. As Germany scored one goal after another, the sadness and even tears were visible on the faces of Brazilians. But German fans came to the Brazilians to comfort them and apologize that the game was ending with such a big gap. Everyone was hoping for a good match.
What I love about the World Cup is that it provides a chance for people to learn about other countries and cultures. People learn about the countries of the teams they support and about their opponents’ history and culture. Soccer is a game that not only gives people the chance to learn about each other but also has the potential to unite people.
Sports can be a dividing force, but the true spirit of sports is about unity and fun. The matches at this World Cup have been exactly that so far, and I hope it remains so.
【1】What does the underlined word “rabble-rousers” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A．The injured players.
B．The fighting fans
C．The excited viewers.
D．The security guards
【2】What impressed the author most about the games that he attended?
A．The chanting fans.
B．The peaceful atmosphere.
C．The warm friendship.
D．The players’ performance.
【3】Why did the author mention his bar experience?
A．To present a fact.
B．To illustrate a point.
C．To solve a problem.
D．To make a comparison.
【4】What is mainly conveyed in the passage?
A．Fans’ support counts in sports.
B．The World Cup is worth attending.
C．Sports bring the world together.
D．Sports are about cultural exchange.
24、 Happiness is an abstract concept. When one thinks of a typical happy person, smiling, laughing and cheering are what usually comes to mind. However, if people stop smiling or laughing, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are unhappy. Happiness has many different levels, and it is difficult to place the word in one concrete category.
Many people believe as people grow older, they will feel more happiness. However, I just find they are not always so. When asking my twelve-year-old sister what made her happy, she initially told me that sleeping made her happy, and then she looked at me for a reaction. When I had none, she changed her answer to food, then to fashion, and then finally to family. Each time she glanced at me, looking for affirmation (肯定) that she had given a "right" answer.
My younger cousin, who is even younger than my sister, gave me an answer that surprised me. It wasn’t eating candy or watching TV that made her happy. It was love. Considering the clear differences between my sister and cousin in their answers, I came to see that age doesn't always largely contribute to happiness.
Asking my grandmother what brings her happiness, she immediately answered "her family" without hesitation. This is something I expected, as my grandma is always a family-centered person. This also aligns with her culture, being from Italy and growing up during the 50s, where family values were at its highest point in society.
Asking myself this question, I think carefully about my answers. Sure, my family, friends and pets make me happy, but so do reading, writing and watching movies. This is why I have come to the conclusion that I have no answer to my own question.
There is no one single thing that makes me the happiest, because, like everybody, my mood depends on many factors. Happiness depends on external factors, as well as one’s personality and age. This is why I have come to the conclusion that the journey of happiness cannot truly be defined, and that there isn’t one thing above all that makes everyone the happiest.
【1】What do we know about happiness from Paragraph 1?
A.It is pursued by nearly all people.
B.It’s difficult to describe it with words.
C.Its highest level is often expressed with laughing.
D.It may have nothing to do with one’s expressions.
【2】Comparing her sister’s and cousin’s answers, the author realized that_____.
A.happiness comes from very small things
B.age won’t always bring people happiness
C.little kids can sometimes give us inspiration
D.some abstract things can make people happier
【3】What does the underlined phrase “aligns with” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Is consistent with. B.Is beneficial to.
C.Breaks away from. D.Gets out of.
【4】What conclusion does the author draw about happiness?
A.Happiness is hard to achieve.
B.Happiness is determined by many factors.
C.The happiest people are often open-minded.
D.One's family gives him the most happiness.

25、 A man and his girlfriend were married. All of their friends and family came to see the lovely ceremony and to share the festivities(欢宴)and celebrations. All had a wonderful time.
