21、Pandas are not only a national treasure, but are loved around the world.

Recently, a giant panda cub born in August at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo, US, was given the name Xiao Qi Ji, which is translated into English as “little miracle”. The choice was the result of a five-day online vote that drew nearly 135,000 voters in the US. Interestingly, National Public Radio said that in a nod to Chinese tradition, the name was not chosen until 100 days after the birth.

This cub’s birth proved to be quite inspiring - and at a time when inspiration was truly needed.

“Xiao Qi Ji’s birth is a true miracle that has been so uplifting to all of us during the pandemic (疫情)，” Chinese Ambassador to the US Cui Tiankai said in a video congratulatory message. “ We are connected again in the growth of our little ambassador, and in our shared joy and friendship.”

The furry black-and-white animals have played an important role in the country’s diplomacy, known as “ panda diplomacy (外交)”.

According to the Japanese Royal Annual, the practice dates back to the Tang Dynasty, when Empress Wu Zetian sent a pair of pandas to the Japanese emperor.

China revived panda diplomacy in the 1950s when China sent two pandas to the Moscow Zoo. By 1982, China had given 23 pandas to nine different countries. However, most of them have died. China stopped giving away pandas in the early 1980s. Instead, the animals are loaned to other countries. In general, they are to be returned to China after 10 years.

But why do these cute “diplomats” find it hard to survive in other countries? According to Xinhua, their dietary habit is one significant reason. Their nutrition mostly comes from bamboo shoots. Adult giant pandas consume about 40 kilograms of bamboo daily. Pandas can also be quite picky. They refuse to eat bamboo shoots after they have blossomed.

It takes 10 years for a new crop of bamboo to mature, and many countries do not have an environment suitable for bamboo growth. This means that food has to be imported In August, Calgary Zoo in Canada announced that due to pandemic-related changes in its import laws and quarantine methods, they couldn’t provide enough fresh bamboo for pandas. This meant that they had to send two giant pandas back to China.

But countries are still trying their best to facilitate this special type of diplomacy. “We don’t own the pandas, but the whole world wants to help save the panda, and we do that through our knowledge exchange.” Steven Monfort, director of the Smithsonian’s National Zoo, told China Daily.

【1】The expression “in a nod to” in Para. 2 is closest in meaning to________.

A．in praise for

B．in response to

C．in favor of

D．in order to observe

【2】Why China decided that pandas are only loaned to other countries?

A．Because the pandas’ dietary habit was significantly changed abroad.

B．Because the pandas couldn’t have bamboo to eat in other countries.

C．Because most of pandas could not be adapted to the climate abroad.

D．Because most of the pandas sent to other countries couldn’t survive.

【3】What can we learn from the text?

A．It was the first time that China had sent a panda to Japan.

B．The practice “panda diplomacy” dales from the Tang Dynasty.

C．China began panda diplomacy, sending two pandas to Moscow Zoo.

D．Two giant pandas had to be returned because they were sick in Canada.

【4】What Steven Monfort’s attitude towards the special type of diplomacy?

A．Favorable.

B．Uncaring.

C．Disapproving.

D．Doubtful.

【5】What is the purpose of the passage?

A．To tell us how to feed pandas properly.

B．To call on people to love pandas in the world.

C．To introduce the furry black and white ambassador.

D．To explain why “panda diplomacy” is stopped.

23、   Ida Nelson was luxuriating in her sauna(桑拿)when she heard the thunder of a small airplane circling the nearby airport. It was 11:30 at night in the Alaskan village of Igiugig, population 70, and, as she told the New York Times, “Any time a plane flies over that late, you know something is wrong.” Nelson leaped out of the sauna, ran to the window, and saw the problem: The airport’s runway lights were out.

Nelson threw on some clothes, jumped into her ATV, and floored it to the airport, where she found a local pilot trying to turn on the lights manually. “Normally, if you push the button 10 or 15 times, the lights will just light up,” Nelson said. Not this time. Meanwhile, she and the pilot learned of the plane’s urgent mission: It was a medevac( 医疗后送直升飞机 ), there to transport a seriously ill local girl to the nearest hospital, 280 miles away in Anchorage.

Nelson had a plan. Driving her ATV to the end of the runway, she switched her headlights on for the plane to follow. Great idea, but it wasn’t enough. More light was needed, so a neighbor called nearly every home in the village—32 of them. Within 20 minutes, 20 vehicles arrived at the airport, many of the drivers still in pajamas( 睡衣 ). Following directions from the medevac pilot, the cars lined up on one side of the runway.

The medevac made its final approach and, guided by the headlights, landed safely. The young patient was loaded onto the aircraft, and the plane immediately took off again. Her illness was never publicly revealed, but she has since been released from the hospital.

In a world filled with uncertainty, the little community’s positive activism is a big deal. Not so much for Nelson. As she told CNN, in Igiugig, coming together is “kind of a normal deal”.

【1】Why did Nelson hurry to the airport?

A．She was late for the flight.

B．The plane was going to crash.

C．She was to aid the 70 people.

D．The runway lights might have gone wrong.

【2】What’s Nelson’s plan to help the medevac?

A．To take over the urgent mission.

B．To fix the lights along the runway.

C．To drive the patient to Anchorage.

D．To shine headlights on the runway.

【3】How did Nelson’s neighbors respond to her plan?

A．They disapproved of it.

B．They hesitated to react.

C．They took immediate action.

D．They put forward a better plan.

【4】Why is positive activism “not so much” for Nelson?

A．Because she doesn’t care about it.

B．Because she is uncertain about its value.

C．Because she is not so positive about life.

D．Because she thinks it is what villagers should do.

24、Left-handed people make up around 12% of the global population. One really interesting fact that I picked up was from a scientist who believed that left-handed people tended to be more independent as a result of having to adapt to a world that is largely built for right-handed individuals.【1】!

More likely to have allergies and sleep disorders

A study found that left-handed people were 11 times more likely to suffer from allergies than right-handed folk.【2】.

Left-handed people use the right side of the brain the most

【3】, meaning that the right side controls the left side of the body and the other way around. Hence there is a well-known saying “only left-handed people are in their right minds”. The right-hand side of the brain is thought to control the left side of the body and tasks to do with the arts and creativity.

Are left-handed people smarter?

【4】! One 2007 study “Effect of handedness on intelligence level of students”shows that lefties are more likely to have higher IQ. However,another 2010 study “The relationship between hand preference, hand performance, and general cognitive ability” suggests the exact opposite!

【5】

Experiments showed that when given two tasks to complete simultaneously (同时), lefties performed best. This is because right-handed people tend to solve problems by breaking them down into parts and analyzing each piece one at a time. While left-handed people tend to look at the problem as a whole and use pattern-matching to try and solve it.

A．Better at multi-tasking

B．Smarter than the right-handed

C．As we know, the brain is cross-wired

D．This one varies depending on how dated your source is

E．Here are a few more fascinating left-handed people facts

F．Mixed-handed children are more likely to experience language issues

G．And lefties were two and a half times more likely to suffer from sleep disorders

Of all the people in Lily’s life, one in particular stands out. As Lily thinks of Shanda, a smile spreads across her face. She feels loved and grateful more than ever that she has such a teacher and friend. Thanks to Shanda’s presence, Lily has become a good dancer now.

Eleven years of dance and going on twelve that year, she doubted it would end up like any other year. She might be stuck in any empty spot and didn’t know what to do with her next dance move. Little did she know that year would change her completely.

That year, Lily felt lucky that Shanda would choreograph (编舞) for her dance. Lily expected to work with Shanda, a young talented dancer, to have an okay dance, but she never expected she would have such an impressive impact on her way to dance.

The moment Lily walked into the marble floored, wall-to-wall mirrored rooms, she already felt like Shanda had faith in her. Shanda smiled at her with appreciative eyes. In the following days, Shanda always encouraged her, “Work to the best of your ability and keep going.” When she wanted to give up, Shanda told her that the real importance of dance was to love it.

Throughout their hard work and devotion, not only did Lily s ability to dance grow, but also their friendship grew. Shanda became more than a teacher to Lily. She was also a close friend that Lily could turn to for anything. Shanda gave her encouragement when Lily need edit the most, and Shanda was always there to cheer Lily up when she felt down,

As the year quickly came to an end, it was high time for Lily to show her dance to the audience. As she walked to the backstage filled with other dancers warming up and expecting their performance, she prayed for a good performance that would convey her improvement. The rhythmic music before her rang in her ears. She waited anxiously for her turn. Finally, after what seemed like days, the hostess announced “Lily”.
