21、Last week I went to a different grocery store. When I was just to check out, the person in front of me at the checkout was using a WIC card to check out and it kept telling her that it wasn’t working .A manager came over and told her to come to a different register(收音机)；maybe this one was the problem. After I checked out, I noticed she was still there, trying to get her card to work.
It was obvious that the young woman was getting anxious about the purchase so I offered to pay for her purchase. She was shocked. She thanked me and I went on my way with a smile from her.
Everyone needs a helping hand sometimes and you never know when it will be your turn. Today I found that it was indeed my turn.
I went boating north of the city. It was a very hot, sunny day so I brought a large bottle of sports drink, thinking it would be plenty to drink. I didn’t have a clear expectation of the drain(消耗)which the heat would have on me.Because I got back to shore, I realized that I had finished the bottle. I still had to get back, load the boat on the car, and it would be at least a 10-minute drive to somewhere to buy more to drink. When I got back to shore and managed to drag my boat to the car and get it tied, I was very hot and thirsty. So, I swallowed my pride and asked a family picnicking nearby if they had an extra bottle of water, which they gladly gave me. That bottle of water wasn’t a big deal to them, but it meant a great deal to me.
The little things that can be done for others don’t usually seem important to the people doing them , but it can be huge to the receivers. Many thanks to all the joyful givers who don’t think twice about helping others.
【1】The author helped the woman because________.

A．the author wasn’t well prepared for his boating
B．the author offered his own water to others
C．the author didn’t know his own water to others
D．the author was helped by the family also boating there

A．It takes great effort for people to do them.
B．They can make a big difference to the receivers.
C．They must be done after careful consideration.
D．They always mean a lot to people who do them.
【4】The text is written mainly to________.

22、Dealing with judgment from other people can be tough.【1】But you can cope with their criticism using positivity and sympathy. The tips below will show you the best ways to respond when someone judges you.
【2】
Try not to take any judgmental words personally. Remember that a judgmental person’s words are a reflection of their own beliefs-and not yours. Remind yourself of all the things you do well, and keep a list of your best traits and achievements to boost your confidence.
Be sympathetic.
【3】 It could be that they were judged themselves by parents, family, or friends, in which case this person’s critical attitude would be something they learned. While that doesn’t excuse their behavior, having compassion can inform your response. Say things like “I'm not sure I agree, but I understand your position and I'll take time to think it over. Thank you for sharing.”
Ask for clarification.
Judgmental people may not know they’re being rude or unreasonable. Ask this person to explain what they said, and find out their motivation for saying it.【4】Before you interpret this person’s words a certain way, make sure you know their true meaning and why they felt the need to judge you.
Calm down and respond rationally(理性地).
Being judged is never fun, and it’s natural for you to feel hurt and emotional right after it happens.【5】Getting defensive or judgmental in return is unlikely to help them see the error of their ways, and more likely to start a fight. If you get angry, take several deep breaths until you feel yourself calming down. Excuse yourself briefly if you need to. Take a quick walk, and return to the conversation when you feel ready.
A．So you should stay collected.
B．Separate yourself from the judgment
C．Judgmental people are just unavoidable.
D．Try understanding the source of this person’s judgment.
E．Think of each situation where you feel judged as a learning experience.
F．Explain why their words have bothered you and make sure this doesn’t happen again.
G．Some people have good intentions but end up sounding judgmental when they’re trying to help.
23、On November 15, the count of humans on this planet reached 8 billion. Population growth has been steady over the past few decades. But that pattern is gradually changing, as is shown in the following chart.
Credit: Katie Peek; Source: World Population Prospects 2022，United Nations Population Division
That slowdown is partly the result of a shift toward fewer offspring. High-income nations currently have the lowest birth rates, and the opposite is true: nations with the highest birth rates tend to have the lowest incomes. The gap has continued to widen between wealthy nations and poorer ones. But longer term, it is moving toward convergence(趋同).
Many factors contribute to the changes of the world’s population, such as migration, death rate, longevity and others. Focusing on fertility(生育率), however, helpfully clarifies why the total number of humans on Earth seems set to fall. Fertility refers to the average total number of live births per female individual in a region or country. The U.S.’s current fertility rate, for example, is about 1.7; China’s is 1.2. A fertility of 2.1 is considered the replacement rate—that is, the required number of offspring, on average, for a population to hold steady. Today birth rates in the wealthiest countries have dropped below the replacement rate, the rest likely following suit over the coming decades.
Humanity’s future clearly depends on many things besides fertility. For example, people in wealthier nations may produce fewer children, but those offspring tend to consume more resources—so rich countries can still have outsize planetary impacts despite their decreasing populations. Organizations such as the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs are working toward policy-based solutions for how all of us can have healthy, satisfying and sustainable lives on Earth. A clear-eyed understanding of population changes is critical for reaching that bright future.
【1】Which time period may witness the slowest global population growth?
A．1960~1974.
B．2037~2058.
C．1987~1998.
D．2022~2037.
【2】What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．The definition of fertility rate.
B．The cause of the low fertility rate.
C．The fertility rates in different countries.
D．The impact of fertility on world population.
【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．The richer the nations are, the higher the fertility will be.
B．The smaller the population is, the more resources are used.
C．Achieving human’s sustainable future is a challenging task.
D．Understanding population shifts can tackle the fertility issue.
【4】What is the text?
A．A blog entry.
B．A book review.
C．A theme speech.
D．A research report.
24、 The waters around the Galapagos Islands, a hot spot of biodiversity off the coast of Ecuador, have been invaded by more alien species than previously thought.
While the number of invasive species on land is well-documented, relatively little was known about those in the marine environment.
Now field surveys have found 48 invasive species off the coasts of the islands, in addition to five known non-native species. These creatures probably got a free ride on ships from around the world.
These surveys were undertaken only in certain hahitats around two of the larger islands, so the actual number of invasive species is likely to be much greater. “From our knowledge of similar studies, I wouldn’t be surprised if the number was twice as many,” says team member Jim Carlton of Williams College in Massachusetts.
The alien species included worms, mussels crabs and sea squirts. There were also tiny moss（苔藤）animals, such as Amathia verticillata, which kills seagrass and messes up fishing equipment.
Seventeen of the newly-identified invaders had been spotted around the Galapagos Islands before, but bad been wrongly thought to have been native species.
The influence of these alien species on the islands’ ecosystems is not yet known. But it is likely to be damaging judging from experiences elsewhere, and could threaten hundreds of local species on the islands. “What we know is that a number of these invasive species clearly have had serious effects elsewhere in the world,” says Carlton.
Invasions in other places suggest that even more harmful species could soon be headed for the waters of the Galapagos Islands, the team warns, including soft corals（珊瑚虫）that could grow rapidly over local coral, and the possibility of poisonous lionfish crossing from the Caribbean through the Panama Canal.
The Galaparos Marine Reserve is now protected, but it will be hard to stop further invaders because it is difficult to check for tiny species on the bottom of every visiting boat.
【1】How many invasive species have been found off the coasts of the Galapagos Islands?
A．5
B．43
C．48
D．53
【2】What can be learned about Amathia verticillata?
A．It mainly feeds on worms and lionfish.
B．It’ll be harmful to the fishing industry.
C．It was the earliest invader found in Ecuador.
D．It makes up the majority of invasive species.
【3】What’s the seventh paragraph mainly about?
A．The damage of local species.
B．The ecosystem around Ecuador.
C．The impact of invasive species.
D．The number of invasive species.
【4】Why is it difficult to prevent further invasion?
A．Alien species are spreading quickly.
B．Many ships visit the islands illegally.
C．It’s hard to identify very small species.
D．There is a lack of men needed for the job.
