26、If Confucius(孔子) were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He’d need a strong wind to help him put them out.
While many people in China will remember Confucius on this special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.
But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.
In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art, history and philosophy(哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks(缺点) of Westerners philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.
So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well.
Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.
As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.
【1】The opening paragraph is mainly intended to ________.
A.provide some key facts about Confucius
B.attract the readers' interest in the subject
C.show great respect for the ancient thinker
D.prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations
【2】We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students ________.
A.have a great interest in studying Chinese
B.take an active part in Chinese competitions
C.try to get high scores in Chinese exams
D.fight for a chance to learn Chinese
【3】What is the best title for the passage?
A.Forgotten Wisdom in America
B.Huge Fans of the Chinese Language
C.Chinese Culture for Westerners
D.Old Thinker with a Big Future

Angkor Wat, Cambodia
Angkor Wat is the world's largest religious (宗教的) monument and it contains impressive remains from the Khmer Empire (9th to 15th century). The site has dozens of iconic temples like Ta Prohm (a magnificent temple ruin hidden in the jungle). Hosting more than two million visitors annually, this artistic masterpiece is a must-see site,
Petra, Jordan
Petra's rock-cut architecture has contributed to its nickname, the Rose City, based on the color of the stone it was carved from. The delicate constructions of temples and tombs along with the remains of churches and temples are only a couple of reasons why this world-famous site is a must-visit destination.
Yellowstone National Park, USA

28、Yuri Gagarin became the first person to go beyond Earth’s atmosphere in 1961. As he spent 108 minutes in orbit, the Russian astronaut consumed a tube of beef-and-liver paste (糊状物) with a side of chocolate sauce. His American counterparts (同行) enjoyed equally unappetizing cuisine during their trips to the moon, but pureed (做成泥的) meat gave way to freeze-dried meals by the time the space shuttle first launched in 1981. Today, astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) also enjoy fresh fruit and vegetables sent from home.
An increasingly appealing space diet has ensured astronauts get more of what their bodies need. Life aboard the ISS, for example, is hard—a six-hour spacewalk can burn more than 2,000 calories—so it’s essential that astronauts consume enough food to do the job. And over time, zero gravity weakens the heart and other muscles, requiring anyone living in it to exercise regularly. “Flavor is the primary driver for most decisions surrounding food intake,” says Robin Tucker, an assistant professor of nutrition science at Michigan State University.
Floating freely can weaken the sense of taste and smell. Providing a variety of seasonings (调味品) helps with that. NASA also makes sure the Space Station has crew members’ favorite snacks. The menu includes goodies, like the occasional pizza during resupply flights.
However, deliveries won’t be possible on a month’s long trip to Mars, and refrigerators and freezers require too much room and energy to be practical. Given that vitamins and minerals in packaged meals slowly break down, NASA is researching how astronauts might grow vegetables. It also has experimented with something like a 3D printer that would combine powdered starch (粉状淀粉), protein, and fat with micronutrients, oil, and water to make tasty food. As humans go ever farther into space, such ideas will ensure they eat something healthier, fresher, and more acceptable than wet and sticky stuff squeezed from a tube.
【1】What does the author think of astronauts’ food before 1981?
A.It was too dry.
B.It was original.
C.It was unhealthy.
D.It was unappealing.
【2】What influences astronauts’ food consumption in space most according to Robin Tucker?
A.The food’s look.
B.The food’s taste.
C.The food’s smell.
D.The food’s nutrition.
【3】How might space flights affect astronauts?
A.They might become overweight.
B.They have to take in fewer seasonings.
C.They might have a weakened sense of smell.
D.They have to do more exercise than on Earth.
【4】What is NASA focusing on at present?
A.Preventing the breakdown of nutrients in food.
B.Sending supplies to the spaceships flying to Mars.
C.Enabling astronauts to feed themselves in space.
D.Increasing the volume of freezers on spaceships.
29、So far this year, the hole in the ozone layer (臭氧层) over Antarctica has expanded to one of its largest sizes and deepest levels in years, reported China Daily.
So how big is the ozone hole? On Sept. 20, the hole over Antarctica peaked at 24.8 million square kilometers, which is three times the size of the United States. It has increased by 8.4 million square kilometers since 2019.
That puts it in about the same areas as ozone holes in 2015 and 2018, which respectively recorded peaks of 25.6 and 22.9 million square kilometers.
“The 2020 ozone loss shows that we have to remain cautious and maintain continuous observations,” said World Meteorological Organization Secretary-General Petteri Taalas.
The ozone layer is important because it acts like a sunscreen, blocking harmful ultraviolet light (紫外线) from reaching our planet's surface. Without it, humans and animals will be more likely to experience diseases such as skin cancers, immune suppression, cataracts and premature aging.
Of course, humans play a large role in the damage of the ozone layer. The loss of ozone in the Antarctic, as well as the Arctic, is due to the large quantity of ozone-destroying gases caused by human activity. Once getting into the atmosphere, these gases can remain for many years. In extremely cold weather conditions, they result in chemical reactions that destroy the ozone layer.
“The Arctic stratosphere (平流层) continues to be weak to ozone-depleting substances (物质) linked to human activities,” said Taalas.
Marcus Rex, a scientist at the Alfred Wegener Institute in Germany, told Nature that the ozone hole doesn't threaten human health but over the next month, there is a possibility that it might move to areas with larger population. In that case, he recommends more sunscreen.
Although it seems bad, scientists are hopeful that Earth can heal itself. Researchers believe the ozone hole will eventually heal and around 2050, Earth's ozone layer will return to normal.
【1】What do we know about the hole in the ozone layer?
A.It increases 8.4 million km2 every year.
B.It is the first time for it to be this large.
C.It is 24.8 million kilometers above the Earth.
D.It has reached a similar peak level in the past.
【2】What is the main cause of the damage of the ozone layer?
A.The serious pollution in populated areas.
B.The broken natural balance of the Arctic stratosphere.
C.The large quantity of certain harmful gases released.
D.Chemical reactions in extremely cold weather conditions.
【3】What is scientists' attitude toward Earth's ozone layer, according to the last paragraph?
A.Optimistic.
B.Hopeless.
C.Doubtful.
D.Unconcerned.
【4】Which is the best title for the passage?
A.Protect the ozone layer
B.Rapidly growing ozone hole
C.The ozone layer matters to us
