21、You don’t need to travel long distances to find pleasure in nature
The Greek historian Herodotus is said to have made one of the earliest lists of seven wonders of the world. These were man-made structures, including the still mysterious feat of ancient horticulture known as the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. More recent times saw natural alternatives to these marvels of classical architecture proposed: waterfalls, mountains, canyons, reefs. 【1】
As environmental consciousness has risen in the west, attitudes to such sightseeing have changed. Yes, it is thrilling to visit remote forests or spot rare species. But travelling to far-flung destinations is carbon-intensive when flights or long road journeys are involved, and conservation can be made more difficult as well as assisted by sightseers. There is a balance to be struck, and ethical governments and businesses around the world try to maximize the benefits while minimizing the harms. 【2】
Most of us, in the rich countries where people take most holidays, understand better than ever that there are costs as well as benefits associated with exploring. One of the six pledges proposed by an environmental campaign launched last month, The Jump, is to “holiday local”, taking short-haul flights once every three years and long-haul flights very rarely. Fortunately, the UK’s 15 national parks, 86 areas of outstanding natural beauty (known in Scotland as national scenic areas), and countless other landscapes that are without formal status, but beloved nonetheless, mean that there is no shortage of special places for domestic nature tourists to visit—while a host of European beauty spots are accessible by rail.
One recent survey found that Windsor Great Park and Kew have become Britain’s most popular attractions, while Covid has created difficulties for indoor spaces which do not apply to outdoor ones. 【3】 Some companies that formerly ran foreign trips have adapted to the pandemic by taking people to watch dolphins and other marine life off British coasts instead.
【4】 Sewage outflows are out of control due to failed water industry regulation. The owners of a popular rewilded estate in West Sussex—Knepp—have warned that plans to build 3,500 homes next to their land would be catastrophic for the species that live there. But as we confront an environmental emergency that grows ever more dangerous, it is essential to cultivate appreciation for the nature that surrounds us. In a small way, holiday outings to watch dragonflies, kingfishers or seals, or be surrounded by trees that are coming into leaf, could help us to focus on what matters.
A.Colombia, for example, recently introduced laws aimed at promoting sustainable tourism.
B.Visitor numbers at wildlife trusts are high, with waiting lists for beaver-spotting.
C.Travelling, especially air travel, is a luxury that is bad for the environment.
D.Dramatic landscapes, features and wildlife, and the pleasure and excitement they offer to visitors, are staples of tourism.
E.Today, the tourism sector has become one of the great economic engines in many countries, forming part of the international political agenda.
F.This is not to minimize the destruction of nature that is also taking place.
22、 With the majority of children not going into school at the moment, staff, parents and pupils are pulling together to make sure their education is a success. As a teacher, I'd like to give some tips to parents and pupils on remote learning.
FOR PUPILS
Get online, on time.
Make sure you do log on in good time for the beginning or live lessons, rather than joining the lesson ten minutes in.【1】
Play your part.
Contribute to the lesson. Talk, put your hand up, send messages in the chat whatever they might be. Teachers and other pupils love to see that. And don't be afraid to ask questions.
Take proper screen breaks during the day.
Enjoy your break time.【2】Get outside, read a book, phone someone. At break or lunchtime in school you wouldn't sit in a classroom and continue to work, so you shouldn't do it at home either.
FOR PARENTS
【3】
It's often surprising how technologically able a young child is now, with the world of smart phones and the Internet. So let them show you what they need to be doing in class.
Give praise.
【4】 Now online, we share a lot of praise and give out school awards. They also need to be praised at home for getting their work done. Take a look at what they have been doing.
Get involved if you can.
This might be difficult for parents doing full-time jobs, but try to work together on something. We assign students research projects some of which might be challenging to them.【5】 And it's also good for their own well-being getting away from a laptop to make a cardboard castle or whatever it might be.
A.Let the child take the lead.
B.Keep pace with technology.
C.Don't stay sitting at your computer.
D.That's a perfect opportunity for parents to help.
E.Thus you will find the rest of the class challenging.
F.Otherwise you would have missed out on some teaching
G.At school kids are getting approval for the work they are doing well.
23、AI, 5G and other digital technologies are not only changing our lives but shaping the economy as well. China5s six major commercial banks are stepping up digital wallet efforts to provide new trend for the e-CNY (电子人民币)trials in the country. The purpose, China’s bankers said, is not aimed at taking the place of privately-run payment platforms, such as Alipay and WeChat Pay. Instead, this official electronic payment system is being done so that all cash in circulation(流通)can be followed.
Compared with Alipay and WeChat payments, e-CNY features anonymity (匿名)and security. E-commerce platforms that accept payments via e-CNY will not have access to users5 personal information. E-CNY users can open an anonymous digital wallet by registering a mobile phone number, and their information won5t be revealed to any third-party institutions. E-CNY users’ privacy protection is at the highest level among all the existing payment tools.
Similar to Alipay and WeChat payments, using e-CNY requires an account. After getting the other party’s account number, users can enter the amount of digital money to be paid and then enter the password to complete the transaction (交易). However, the processes behind these transactions are different. For the existing electronic payments, the money has to go through a third party, and the receivers will get the money only when they withdraw it from banks. But e-CNY transactions only need a payer and a receiver. Therefore, it guarantees risk-free payments, helps prevent financial crimes and improves the efficiency of transactions.
In simple terms, e-CNY can be considered “money”, while electronic payments are like “wallets”. The successful launch of the e-CNY may change the existing market structure, which is mainly dominated by Alipay and WeChat Pay now. The banks may return to a leading position in the digital currency system. But China's central bank won't get more money into circulation, since every yuan issued digitally will basically cancel one yuan circulating in physical form.
【1】Why are commercial banks in China making efforts on e-CNY trials?
A.They aim to cut down the use of bank cards.
B.They intend to track the cash in circulation.
C.They want to get rid of paper currency.
D.They plan to replace privately-run payment platforms.
【2】What can users benefit when using e-CNY compared with the existing electronic payments?
A.People won't worry about their private information exposure.
B.People can finish the transaction without any account.
C.People can do the transaction at a very low fee.
D.People can withdraw money from banks free of charge.
【3】How does Paragraph 3 develop?
A.By listing facts.
B.By making comparison.
C.By giving examples.
D.By analyzing cause and effect.
【4】What can we infer from the last sentence of the passage?
A.The e-CNY will change the existing market structure.
B.The e-CNY will shake the position of real paper money.
C.The e-CNY in circulation will disturb the normal economy.
D.The e-CNY will not change the total amount of money in circulation.
24、Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck,talent,and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.
However,to succeed in life,one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical.And,in addition to that,in order to get really good at something,one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing.To become great at certain things,it’ll require even more time,time that most people won’t put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do ,it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success,you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost.It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent,but thinking that way does you no good,and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.
Whatever you do,if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out,almost to the point of addiction,and over a long period of time.If you’re not willing to put in the time and work,don’t expect to receive any rewards.Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.
【1】Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________.
A.the reasons for success
B.the meaning of success
C.the standards of success
D.the importance of success
【2】In Paragraph 2,the underlined word that refers to ______.
A.being good at something

【3】Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ______.
A.work makes one feel pain
B.one tends to enjoy his work
C.one gives up his work easily
D.it takes a lot of time to succeed
【4】What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A.Successful people like to show their great skills.
B.People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.
C.People need to achieve success at the cost of life.
D.It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.
【5】What is the main theme of the passage?
A.Having a goal is vital to success.
B.Being good is different from being great.
C.One cannot succeed without time and practice.
D.Luck,talent and family help to achieve success.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
Today is his birthday. It's a special day that Brian feels that he is lucky to share with you, for today he is 70 years old.
About a month ago Brian asked Danielle and Nancy if he could do what he wanted to do on his birthday. He didn't know then what he would say, but he did know that he wanted to share his age in a very public way. Little did he suspect then that he would be sharing not only with his co-workers on the 29th floor, but with the entire region!
Revealing age is not something that most people, including himself, feel comfortable doing. People wouldn't think of asking their friends, associates or customers how old they are. Why is it then perfectly acceptable to ask a child how old he is? What changes between age 7 and age 70? When and why does age turn from something to be proudly claimed to a topic to be avoided?
He believes it happens when a child no longer states his age as a simple fact, just as his youngest son Gavin used to do with mathematical precision: “I am 6 and 5/12 years old.” Then he instead begins to focus on being seen as older. As parents, people contribute to this mind shift by remarks such as “Act your age” or “You're older than that.” He admits that he said such things to his own children. The child gets the message that age brings status, power and autonomy. People celebrate important events. Then sometime after age 21 birthday celebrations lose their allure. No longer is getting older seen as a badge of distinction. Instead, people become concerned that they are getting old. The very word “old” has negative connotations. What image comes to mind when you hear “old age” “old folk's home” “old guard” or “out with the old, in with the new”? “You're too old” will gradually turn into “I'm too old.” He has heard this inner voice many times.
Paragraph 1:
He always recalls the moment when he was 30.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Twenty years passed.
