21、Learning a new language like English can be a challenge, but with regular study, it can be done. Classes are important, but so is disciplined practice. 【1】 Here are some guidelines to help you improve your reading and comprehension skills and become a better English student.
·【2】
Learning any new language is a time-consuming process. Rather than try a few hours of review once or twice a week, most experts say short, regular study sessions are more effective. As little as 30 minutes a day can help you improve your English skills over time.
·Read, watch, and listen
Reading English newspapers and books, listening to music, or watching TV can also help you develop your writing and speaking skills. By doing so repeatedly, you’ll unconsciously improve your pronunciation, accents, and grammar. Keep pen and paper handy and write down unfamiliar words you read or hear. 【3】 Use them the next time you are role-playing dialogue in class.
·Play vocabulary and grammar games
You can also improve your English skills by playing vocabulary games that are related to what you’re studying in class. For example, if you are going to study English on topics that focus on vacations, take a moment to think about your last trip and what you did. 【4】
·Write it down
【5】 Take 30 minutes at the end of class or study to write down what happened during your day. Once you’re comfortable writing about your day, challenge yourself and have some fun with creative writing exercises. Choose a photo from a book or magazine and describe it in a short paragraph, or write a short story or poem about someone you know well. You may even discover you’ve got a talent for writing.
A．Set a goal.
B．Study every day.
C．It can even be fun.
D．Don’t be afraid of making mistakes.
E．Then, do some research to learn what those new words mean.
F．Make a list of all the words you might use to describe your activities.
G．Repetition is key to learning English, and writing exercises are a great way to practice.

23、 Earth’s longest artificial structure is usually said to be the Great Wall of China. Just how long that is is hard to say, for northern China actually has many walls, built at different times and not always interconnecting. Earth’s second-longest artificial structure, though, is not a wall, but a fence. Its length is known exactly. It stretches for 5,614km across eastern Australia and is intended to stop the country’s native feral dogs, the dingoes, which live mainly to its north, from preying on sheep, which are farmed mainly to its south.
Australia’s dingo fence is remarkable. But it does not stand alone. Millions of kilometres of fences wrap the world. Some are intended to control the movement of animals, some the movement of people, and some merely to mark the limits of territory, so that everyone knows who owns what. Even fences built for other purposes, though, often serve to limit animals, too. Such worries are not foolish. Hardening borders in Central Asia, coupled with the expansion of fenced railways, have reduced numbers of another large, endangered mammal, the saiga antelope.
No sitting on the fence, please Smarter fencing can help. In the American West, for example, Montana and Wyoming are mounting campaigns to replace decades-old fences with ones that are more ecologically friendly. The changes required are often small. Making fences low enough for deer to jump over helps.
Adding poles improves a fence’s visibility, stopping unfortunate collisions at speed. And not all wire need be barbed(带倒刺).
There is, though, also a need to paint a clearer picture of where fences are, and to remove those past their prime. Such structures are seldom well-documented and are difficult to pick out in satellite photographs, so doing this can be hard. Jeffrey Masek, a specialist in Earth-imaging at NASA, America’s space agency, suggests instead using commercial drones, which fly at low enough altitudes to capture detailed pictures. Deserted fences are of use to neither man nor beast. To beasts, in fact, they are positively disgusting.
【1】The first paragraph is developed mainly .
A.by example B.by listing data C.by comparison D.by contrast
【2】Why are people concerned about the fences?
A.They control the movement of animals.
B.They may harm the movement of people.
C.They may go beyond the original purposes.
D.They did harm to environmental protection.
【3】Which of the following is the measure mentioned in the passage?
A.Remove all the current fences.
B.Prevent some unfortunate collisions at speed.
C.Change the height and appearance of fences.
D.Make the fences more appealing in appearance.
【4】What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A.The need to take clear photos of fences.
B.The importance of knowing the location of fences.
C.The damage of the deserted fences to humans and beasts.
D.The tools in helping deal with fences.
24、Hunan province in Central China is also home of many influential and talented celebrities, including thought leaders, artists, inventors and political figures, Yuan Shenggao reports.
Located in Central China, Hunan province boasts a splendid history and abundant cultural heritage.
Six exquisite, five-color glazed porcelains, presented at a news conference of the province in Beijing in late July, drew the attention of the media. The conference was held to brief the media on a series of events launched by the province in celebration of the 70th anniversary of the People’s Republic of China on Oct 1.
Four of the six porcelain vases were collected by the National Museum of China and the other two were to be kept by the museum in August, said Shen Bin, an inheritor of the technique of five-color glazed porcelains in Liling city of Hunan.
