21、A campaign (活动) is being launched to encourage children to surrender 30 minutes of screen time a day to head for the great outdoors.
The newly formed Wild Network—a collaboration of nearly 400 organizations—is attempting to attract youngsters away from television and computer screen and to fields, woods and parks. Members of the network include the National Trust, RSPB, Play England and the NHS. Organizers say it is the UK’s biggest ever campaign to reconnect children with nature and outdoor play, and claim it could help improve fitness, mental alertness (机敏) and general wellbeing.
A documentary film, Project Wild Thing, will forecast the launch at more than 50 cinemas across the UK from Friday. It looks at the increasing link between children and nature.
Andy Simpson, chairman of the Wild Network, said, “The tragic truth is that kids have lost touch with nature and the outdoors in just one generation. Time spent outdoors is down, roaming (漫步) ranges have fallen largely, activity levels are declining and the ability to identify common species has been lost.”
Suggestions of how to get more time in nature include collecting conkers (七叶树果), camping or snail racing, and observing autumn colour on trees.
From January, the network will aim to make suggestions to politicians on how government can do more to get children muddy and bright-eyed.
This is not the first time the message of less screen, more play has been brought up. Children in the 1980s were requested to do the same by the BBC TV series Why Don’t You, which somewhat confusingly called on its viewers to “switch off your TV set and go to do something less boring instead”.
【1】What does the underlined word “surrender” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Give up B. Get around
C. Take up D. Run away
【2】For what purpose is the Wild Network organized?
A. To make children read more books.
B. To help children distinguish (辨别) the natural world.
C. To encourage children to participate in outdoor activities.
D. To get children out of too much homework from school.
【3】According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. The outdoors can be beneficial to children’s wellbeing.
B. The Network advocates (提倡) keeping children’s distance from TV.
C. It is the first time for less screen, more play to be brought up.
D. The government should do more to get children to go outdoors.
【4】Which of the following shows that kids have lost touch with nature and the outdoors?
A. Time spent outdoors is less and activity levels are down.
B. Chances of traveling abroad are fewer and fewer.
C. Time spent on the study is decreasing.
D. The ability to identify common species has been improved.
【5】Which is confusing according to the passage?

22、 Working from a shady balcony overlooking a vast sea, with five-star restaurants and golf courses within easy reach: what better place could there be to while away the pandemic (疫情) than Barbados?
Like most of its Caribbean neighbours, Barbados has been good at keeping COVID-19 out. Normally tourism brings in more than half of its foreign earnings. Now, many tourists are banned and the economy is declining. The tourism minister, Kerrie Symmonds, puts unemployment at close to 40%.
The prime minister, Mia Mottley intends to introduce a “Welcome Stamp” for visitors to “work remotely in paradise” for up to a year. The idea is that if holidays are not possible, then maybe the island can attract wealthy office workers who no longer have to go to the office. Other Caribbean islands are considering competing plans; Bermuda has announced one.
It did not take a pandemic for some digital workers to consider moving to a beach. But before now, it was legally difficult. Getting a work permit or immigrant status meant weeks or months of form-filling. Workers had to pay Barbadian income taxes. The new procedure looks quick and easy by comparison. For a fee of $2,000 for one person, or $3,000 for a family, you can take your Zoom calls from a real white sandy beach, instead of merely selecting it as a virtual background. You continue paying tax according to the rules of whichever country you came from.
There will be some checks on new arrivals. We do not want “the scum of the earth, but honest and respectable types”, says Mr Symmonds. Applicants must have health insurance, and the main breadwinner must earn at least $50,000. But otherwise the gates are open. “All must breathe, in this world and in this country.” says Ms Mottley.
【1】The project “Welcome Stamp” is intended to ________.
A.help the economy recover B.create jobs for visitors
C.keep COVID-19 out D.compete against other islands
【2】What is needed to apply for Welcome Stamp?
A.Spending weeks to get work permit or immigrant status.
B.Paying a certain amount of Barbadian income taxes.
C.Paying $2,000 per person, or $3,000 per family.
D.Earning at least $50,000 per family member
【3】What can we learn from the text?
A.Barbados is the first to put forward the plan.
B.All healthy and wealthy people are welcome.
C.Increasing unemployment leads to an economic decline.
D.It used to be difficult for digital workers to move to Barbados.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?

C.Office workers choose to work from the beach.
D.Working abroad becomes easier than before.
23、 Supermarket shelves are filled with plant-based alternatives (可代替品) to cow milk, including soy, nut, and coconut milk. These products are popular with consumers who cannot drink cows’ milk for health reasons, as well as with those concerned about animal welfare and environmental sustainability. While the dairy-free (非乳制的) options work well with cereal or in coffee, they fail miserably when it comes to making milk-based products like cheese or yogurt. However, these shortcomings may soon be a thing of the past, thanks to a new company in California, which has figured out how to create animal-free milk in a laboratory!
Perumal Gandhi and Ryan Pandya founded the company in 2014 after becoming increasingly annoyed with the lack of cows’ milk-free alternatives, particularly for cheese. For Gandhi, who stopped consuming animal products five years earlier due to environmental and animal welfare concerns, the motivation to create a better alternative stemmed from his love of cheesy pizza. Pandya was spurred (被激发) to take action after being forced to eat some “really bad” dairy-free cream cheese on his sandwich.
The two MIT biomedical engineering scientists decided to join forces to create a more realistic alternative to dairy-based products. In their university lab, the pair spent nine months first isolating (分离) cow DNA then inserting it into yeast (酵母). This genetic modification (改造) enabled the yeast to produce the necessary milk proteins. The final step of the process involved mixing the proteins with some plant nutrients and fats.
The dairy-free milk not only tastes like the real thing but is also healthier, has a longer shelf life and, most important of all, is Earth friendly. According to the company’s website, when compared to conventional (常规的) milk production, their process uses 65% less energy, creates 84% less greenhouse gas emissions (排放) and requires 91% less land and an amazing 98% less water! Best of all, since it contains real milk proteins, the product behaves like the cow-produced version, which means vegetarian (素食的) consumers will no longer have to deal with the unpleasant cheese on their sandwiches and pizzas.
The company plans to bring their creation to market later this year and their first product will most likely be cheese since there are already many good cows’ milk products available to consumers.
【1】The underlined word “those” in paragraph 1 refers to _______.
A.actions B.products C.people D.reasons
【2】The company’s founders were motivated to make the new product because of _______.
A.their deep concern for the environment
B.their worry that farm animals were poorly treated
C.the over-consumption of the dairy-based products
D.the poor taste of dairy-free cheese presently available
【3】What can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A.The dairy-free products cannot be stored for a long time.
B.Cow farming causes considerable environmental damage.
C.The new products will taste better than dairy-based ones.
D.The dairy-free milk will be more expensive than cow’s milk.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Healthier Cheese
B.New Milk Saves Planet
C.Making Milk without Cows
D.Fresher Milk, Better Future
24、Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some form---football, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.
Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with surprise. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.
Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as others, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kinds which would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.
If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.
The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities
A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty. But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they perhaps climb with more skill and less waste of efforts, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.
【1】Mountaineering is a sport, not a game because______
A. there is not certain rule for climbers to follow
B. it is too dangerous for climbers
C. it can’t bring people joy and leisure
D. it has man-made rules
【2】According to the writer, the only enemy of mountaineer should be______
A. temperature B. nature
C. climate D. patience
【3】The underlined word “passion” in Paragraph 2 could be replaced by______
A. enthusiasm B. taste
C. gift D. strength
