21、In the third century BC, the full stop, or period, was introduced by Greek literary critic Aristophanes of Byzantium. This punctuation mark (标点符号) is used to show the end of a sentence.
However, the full stop has a different meaning to teenagers and those in their early 20s, who interpret this punctuation mark as sign of anger. And there is a reason for that.
The younger generation has grown up using the texts as their primary means of communication. When sending messages, they tend to break up their thoughts by sending each one as a separate message, instead of using a full stop. Some have said the full stop is redundant when used in texting because the message is ended just by sending it.
According to the Telegraph, linguist Lauren Fonteyn of Leiden University in the Netherlands, tweeted (发推特): “If you send a text message without a full stop, it’s already obvious that you’ve concluded the message.” “So if you add that additional marker for completion, they will read something into it and it tends to be a falling intonation or negative tone .”
David Crystal, one of the world’s leading language experts, argues that the usage of full stops is being “revised (修改) in a really fundamental way”. In his book Making a Point, he says that the punctuation mark has become an “emotion marker” that reminds the receiver that the sender is angry or annoyed.
Though the full stop has taken on a different meaning to the younger generation, experts noted that it is important to take context into account. For example, using full stops in an email is perfectly acceptable and is not considered rude.
【1】What does the underlined word “redundant” probably mean?
A．Clear.
B．Unacceptable.
C．Unnecessary.
D．Old-fashioned.
【2】What can we learn from Fonteyn’s words?
A．Using the full stop improves communication.
B．The usage of the full stop is changing for the worse.
C．A text message is quite different from spoken language.
D．The full stop in text messages can show senders’ emotions.
【3】What do language experts suggest people do when using the full stop?
A．Consider different situations.
B．Check who the receiver is.
C．Take it as an “emotion marker”.
D．Follow the culture of the young generation.
【4】What does the article mainly talk about?
A．The history of punctuation marks.
B．A new meaning to the full stop.
C．Correct ways to use the full stop.
D．Different views on punctuation marks.
22、Polar bear mothers invest a huge amount into their cubs (幼兽), isolating themselves in dens (兽穴) dug with great effort into piles of snow to provide care through the unforgiving conditions of Arctic winter. It’s little wonder that the bears are hesitant to leave when disturbed, even when oil drilling equipment is in operation nearby.
“We found that bears wouldn’t abandon their dens even with vehicles driving right overhead,” says Wesley Larson, who worked his way from office assistant to a graduate student position with Utah’s Brigham Young University, monitoring polar bears on Alaska’s North Slope.
Scientists have recorded an increase in human-wildlife conflict in the area, as offshore pack ice has decreased, forcing the bear population to create their dens closer to petrol industry activity. With increased industry interest in oil and gas leasing (租赁) in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, strong evidence to help support and carry out protective measures for the species has never been more important.
Wildlife managers in Alaska depend on a rule that industrial activity and research cannot take place within 1. 6 km of a den with newborn babies in it. Working with 15 years of monitoring records, and 30 years of notes concerning interactions between the industry and the bears, Larson and colleagues were able to confirm that the regulation was sufficient, but that more needed to be done to actively locate dens. He explains that with entrances quickly covered by snow and dens closed-up until spring, they are effectively undetectable to the naked eye.
“While technology such as forward-looking infrared cameras can be used to try to pick up a heat signature inside the den, it only works when conditions are perfect, and they rarely are in Arctic winter,” says Larson. He is now consulting on a project using radar technology to identify dens and ensure protection for the animals symbolic of the Arctic.
【1】Why does the author mention polar bear mothers in paragraph 1?
A．To attract sympathy for the polar bears.
B．To condemn human activities that damage nature.
C．To show the severe environment polar bears live in.
D．To explain polar bears’ unwillingness to leave their dens.
【2】What can be inferred from paragraph 3?
A．Pursuit of economic interest threatens polar bears’ existence.
B．Protective measures were not considered important in the past.
C．Human activities have led to the reduction of offshore pack ice.
D．The development of petrol industry has forced the bears to leave.
【3】What is Larson’s attitude towards the regulation of human activities in Alaska?
A．Approving.
B．Critical.
C．Worried.
D．Hopeful.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A．Attention should be paid to protecting polar bears.
B．Technology should be applied to identify polar bears.
C．More efforts are necessary to monitor polar bear dens.
D．It’s very difficult to successfully locate polar bear dens.
23、The Taliban said on Sunday that the war in Afghanistan has ended and they will soon declare the establishment of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. They will take responsible actions to ensure the safety of Afghan citizens and foreign missions in Afghanistan.
In response, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said the situation in Afghanistan has undergone major changes and China respects the wishes and choices of the Afghan people.
China expects the Taliban to fulfill its commitment to ensure a smooth transition (过渡) of the situation in Afghanistan, keep at bay all kinds of terrorism and criminal acts, keep the Afghan people away from wars and rebuild their beautiful homeland, she said.
In response to a question on whether China has contact with the Taliban and recognizes the Taliban regime (政权), Hua said China has maintained contact with the Afghan Taliban on the basis of fully respecting Afghan national sovereignty (主权) and the will of all factions in the country, and has always played a constructive role in promoting the political settlement of the Afghan issue.
On July 28, Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi met in Tianjin with Baradar, political chief of Afghanistan’s Taliban.
“We hope the Taliban will unite with all parties and ethnic groups in Afghanistan to establish a broad and inclusive political structure that suits its own national conditions to lay the foundation for realizing a lasting peace in Afghanistan,” she added.
On many occasions, the Taliban has expressed the hope of developing sound relations with China, saying they look forward to China’s participation in the reconstruction and development of Afghanistan, and that they will never allow any forces to use the Afghan territory to endanger China, according to the spokesperson.
She said that China always respects the sovereign independence and territorial integrity (完整) of Afghanistan, never interferes in the internal affairs of Afghanistan, and always pursues a friendly policy toward all the Afghan people.
The United States and several European countries are evacuating their embassy staff from the country. In response to the question on whether China has any plans to withdraw its embassy, Hua said the Chinese embassy in Afghanistan is still operating normally, and the Chinese ambassador and embassy staff are still performing their duties.
Most of the Chinese citizens in Afghanistan have already returned to China according to arrangements made by the Chinese embassy, but there are still a few people who have chosen to stay there voluntarily. The embassy maintains close contact with them, and will continue to pay close attention to the situation in Afghanistan and provide the necessary services and assistance to all Chinese citizens in Afghanistan, Hua said.

24、One overlooked benefit of lab-grown food is that it may help the UK deal with the crisis in housing affordability. As farming is replaced by precision fermentation (发酵) , the significant amount of land currently used for livestock farming(including parts of the green belt) will be freed up for development in places that people actually want to live.
However, we’d take a different lesson from the promise of lab-grown meat. Free-market environmentalism and harnessing the power of innovative technologies — supported by market-based measures like a border-adjusted carbon tax — can successfully tackle the problem of man-made climate change without fundamentally uprooting the way we run society. Saving the planet doesn’t have to cost us the earth.
It is important to acknowledge that certain types of livestock farming may have issues with sustainability and climate change. But it is not true of all farming systems; and the issues that do exist are being dealt with using the latest research into genetics and biotechnology-for example, recent research has shown that certain types of seaweed can reduce methane emissions from cattle to close to zero.
Farmer data also shows that increased sales of milks have not seen a corresponding reduction in dairy sales.
The global food system, consumer choices and climate change are incredibly complex issues, and anyone who proposes simple solutions is almost certainly not in possession of all the relevant facts and data. Livestock are an important part of humanity’s future food needs.
【1】Why does lab-grown food help Britain to solve the housing affordability crisis?
A．As farming is replaced by precision fermentation, the level of agricultural development is improved.
B．The significant amount of green belts are used for development in places that people actually want to live.
C．Lab-grown food is more environmentally friendly and beneficial to human health.
D．A large amount of land used for livestock farming will be freed up for residence.
【2】What lessons have learned from the promise of lab-grown meat?
A．Free-market environmentalism can change the way society operates.
B．Adjusting carbon tax can successfully solve the problem of climate change.
C．Adopting the power of innovative technologies is useful for saving the earth.
D．Saving the earth requires changing the way society operates.
【3】Which of the following best explains “harnessing” underlined in paragraph 2?
A．obtain
B．exploit
C．inherit
D．develop
【4】It can be inferred from this passage that .
A．global food issue is so complex that there are no complete research data.
B．sustainability and climate change are common problems in agricultural systems.
C．some kinds of seaweed can make the amount of methane emitted by cattle ineffective.
D．the sales of substitute dairy products increased, and the sales of dairy products decreased accordingly.
25、What do you usually keep on your desk? Maybe a box of candy, pens or a glass bottle. Sure, these everyday objects have their own _________, but did you ever think they could be made into music?
Recently, Zhang Yuxuan, better known as Vicky Xuanxuan _________ the spotlight on Chinese social media for her music. With all the media focusing on her, the 15-year-old girl revealed that she recorded sounds using _________ objects around her and mixed them into her songs. Upon the _________ of her English song She, it has been viewed more than 14 million times and _________ over 1 million thumbs-up emojis (表情符号) on Bilibili, China’s video-sharing and livestreaming platform.
“A melody _________ popped into my head when I was having math class,” Zhang, a student at the Shenzhen Arts School, majoring in violin, said in her video titled How to Turn a Melody into a Song. “I quickly wrote down four _________ of lyrics and the melody in my notebook and after class, I _________ home and took less than half an hour to finish the rest.”
Now, Zhang has nearly 1.7 million followers on Bilibili. Some are strangers but firmly _________ her. Popularity has given her the opportunities to cooperate with __________ people, such as pianist Lang Lang. But just as the old saying goes, “a coin has two sides”. Internet __________ can also attract criticism. Viewers have left remarks like “you look too old for your age”. Although she felt bad about these __________ at first, Zhang tried to get used to them. Later, she even turned the __________ reviews into a song.
No matter how __________ some people are online, to be seen and heard by more people has motivated Zhang to keep posting her singing clips.
