21、Handwritten Chinese characters can be beautiful. Living in a digital era with smartphones and computers, most students sooner or later ask themselves this question:【1】
Knowing how to write Chinese characters by hand is just cool. It feels like magic when you write a few strokes (笔画)on paper that don’t normally make sense, but they suddenly come together and create a meaning.【2】
Handwriting characters trains your muscle memory, making characters stay longer in your memory and improving your reading and speaking skills. 【3】However, without knowing how to write characters by hand, you are very unlikely to reach a level above intermediate (中级的).
【4】Handwriting characters is a form of meditation. Once you learn how to stay focused, you will not only notice that your concentration skills improve, but you will also find yourself feeling calm and relaxed when writing characters.
Most people agree that we should learn to write last least some characters at some point as a student of Chinese, although not necessarily straight away and not necessarily all the characters that you can say. But unless you don’t care about written language at all, you should learn the basics of handwriting.【5】You don’t need to be a calligraphy master, but you do need basic handwriting skills to do this. Simply looking at things is, as usual, a bad way of learning.
A.And amazingly, you can understand it.
B.Is it important to learn Chinese culture?
C.Handwriting characters trains your-concentration.
D.Learning characters is a good idea for all students.
E.Without it, it will be very hard to understand characters.
F.Is it really necessary to learn how to write by hand in Chinese?
G.You can learn Chinese to a certain level without handwriting characters.
22、 Why do you check social media? Is it to keep up with everything that your friends and family are doing? Is it to find new trendy spots to eat? Regardless of the reason, you may find yourself with different degrees of envy or discomfort after a quick look at your phone. Then you might be suffering from a phenomenon known as “Fear of Missing Out (FOMO). ”
While the phenomenon of FOMO can be traced back for centuries, it had never been the issue as it is today, causing widespread discussion and research. This rise in checking social media is naturally connected to the increasing leading position that social media holds over our lives. Every time someone opens their WeChat Moments, Facebook, Twitter... etc. , they are bombarded with the highlight reels of other peoples' lives. A sunny beach, delicious-looking food, a super cute kitten-they are all uplifting photos, yet they're very likely to bring about more unhappiness than joy. You see, the first thought to come out of your mind may be “Wow, that's so cool/delicious/cute”, but then it takes a hard U-turn. You're thinking: “I wish I were there” or “my life is so boring compared to his/hers.” The more you see, the more likely you are to have these negative feelings.
What's worse is the habit many people have of turning to social media in search of happiness when they are feeling down, not realizing that they are just going to end up in a negative cycle of endless disappointment. Montesquieu once said: “If one only wished to be happy, this could be easily accomplished; but we wish to be happier than other people, and this is always difficult, for we believe others to be happier than they are.”
FOMO will go hand in hand with dissatisfaction and envy. Appreciate what you already have, because someone else out there in the world would gladly give everything to be you.
【1】What is the purpose of the questions in paragraph 1?
A.To introduce the topic of the passage.
B.To explain the function of FOMO.
C.To describe the features of FOMO.
D.To give the reasons for checking social media.
【2】How might people feel seeing other's perfect life through social media?
A.Joyful.
B.Admiring.
C.Comfortable.
D.Envious.
【3】What can we conclude from Montesquieu's words in paragraph 3?
A.We could turn to social media for happiness.
B.We couldn't realise our dream without hard work.
C.We couldn't harvest happiness through comparison.
D.We could live better than others by showing ourselves online.
【4】What is the author's attitude towards FOMO?
A.Indifferent.
B.Objective.
C.Doubtful.
D.Hopeful.

24、In May 2020, as the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic swept Texas, I went to an Austin nature store and bought several bird feeders. Various birds, drawn by seed and other food, came soon afterward. I wasn’t alone. Feeders have long been a popular way to connect with nature and draw in native or nonnative species. But over the past two years, bird feeding has suddenly increased in popularity.
The benefits of all of this supplying have tended to go unquestioned. After all, habitat destruction from human activity is a leading cause of bird population declines, so feeding birds seems like an obvious way to help make up for that loss. But a recent review paper raises a troubling possibility: bird feeding could be reshaping some local environments. “If you’re throwing millions of tons of additional nonnatural resources into an environment, you’re going to get massive, massive impacts,” says lead study author Jack Shutt, a conservation ecologist at Manchester Metropolitan University in England. “And they’re not always going to be the ones that you’re expecting.”
Bird feeding carries a few well-recognized risks. The first among them is disease spread. In 2005 scientists concluded that shared feeders in the U.K. may have helped dove trichomoniasis (滴虫病) jump into European Greenfinches, as a result, it killed up to half a million birds. In the U.S., trichomoniasis outbreaks connected with dirty feeders are common bird killers. “You’ve got different species pecking (啄食) at the same bit of plastic, which is covered in various bird bodily liquid,” says study co-author Alexander Lees, an bird expert at Manchester Metropolitan University. “It’s a cause of disaster.”
What’s necessary, Lees says, is taking the potential impacts seriously enough to carry out further study, which would allow experts to make much more recommendations about where to feed and where to avoid it. Such studies could also help researchers make targeted recommendations about what sorts of food to offer.
【1】What do people tend to believe about bird feeding?
A.It can protect native species.
B.It can attract nonnative species.
C.It can prevent more birds being killed.
D.It can prevent bird population declining.
【2】Which of the following statements would Shutt and Lees agree to?
A.Bird feeding should be prohibited.
B.Bird feeding is a commercial activity.
C.Bird feeding can be a disaster for birds.
D.Bird feeding will not influence ecosystem.
【3】What might experts do in the future in Lees’ opinion?
A.Call on people to stop feeding birds.
B.Encourage more people to feed birds.
C.Help people feed birds more scientifically.
D.Advocate birds’ pecking at the same plastic.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.Bird feeding: Spreading diseases
B.Bird Feeders: Good or bad for birds
C.Bird Feeders: Of great benefit to birds
D.COVID-19: A terrible disaster for birds

26、请阅读下面短文,并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
The University of Cambridge confirmed that it would accept students based on Gaokao test results in a post on the University’s official Weibo account on March 25.
The Gaokao, China’s extremely difficult university entrance exam, is now accepted by a number of overseas universities including the University of New Hampshire, which last year became the first state university in the US to accept Gaokao scores for new admissions, the University of Western Australia and the University of British Columbia in Canada.
Previously, Chinese students would have to take standardized college admission tests, such as the SAT and ACT used in US schools.
The Gaokao is regarded as suitable preparation for Cambridge. The Gaokao scores of successful applicants will vary from province to province and year to year. As a guideline, successful applicants will usually have scores in the top 0.1% of those taking the Gaokao in their province. In addition to the total score, Cambridge Colleges will pay close attention to individual subject scores and scores in the Senior High School Examinations (Xueye Shuiping Kaoshi; previously the Huikao). The Xueye Shuiping Kaoshi alone are not regarded as suitable preparation for Cambridge.
