21、I live in Xizhou in Yunnan Province on the historic Tea Horse Road. I have to admit that when I first heard that Paul Salopek was going to walk the entire globe on his own two feet. I was blown away. I couldn’t imagine that there could be such an unusual person in the world.
Last May, I met Paul. He told me that it was his first time in China. He talked to me with great excitement about the history, migrations and discoveries in my region of China. He spoke of the Shu-Yandu Dao (the Southern Silk Road), the travels of the 17th-century Chinese explorer Xu Xiake, the Tea Horse Road and the early 20th-century American botanist Joseph Rock. He also talked of Xuanzang. Paul considered many of them heroes and, in a sense, Chinese pioneers of slow journalism.
I decided to accompany Paul on his walk toward Yunnan. On September 28. 2021, we set out. Our days were simple: walk, eat, sleep, and repeat. We woke up at sunrise, set off in high spirits, and rested at sunset, dragging ourselves into exhausted sleep.
We met many people on the road. Some were curious, surrounding us and watching us; some gave us directions; some invited us into their home to take a rest; some spoke of the charm of their hometown. We met many beautiful souls, simple souls and warm souls. We were walking with our minds.
Together, we were impressed by the biodiversity of the Gaoligong Mountains. As I walked on ancient paths through mountains, I seemed to hear the antique (古老的) voices of past travelers urging me to be careful on the road.
Looking back on the more than 200 miles I walked with Paul, I came to a realization. Walking for its own sake while healthy and admirable, is only a small part of the benefit of moving with our feet. A deeper reward is rediscovering the world around us, shortening the distance between each other, and sharing each other’s cultures.
【1】How did the writer first respond to Paul’s travel plan?
A.Scared.

【2】What can we learn about Paul Salopek from Paragraph 2?

A.They honored the ancestors.
B.They set of in high spirits.
C.They satisfied the locals’ curiosity.
D.They connected with locals.
【4】What is the main purpose of the writer’ writing the text?
A.To share and reflect on a journey.

23、A new study says electronic toys are not helping babies learn.
“Even if companies are marketing them as educational, they’re not teaching the babies anything at this time,” said the study’s author, Anna Sosa. She is a Northern Arizona University professor who heads the school’s Child Speech and Language Lab.
Sosa and her fellow researchers listened to audio recordings of parents playing with their babies-aged 10 months to 16 months. There searchers compared the experiences when the children played with electronic toys, traditional toys such as blocks, or when the children looked at books.
What they found is that parents talked less with their babies when the babies played with electronic toys.
“The parents talked less, responded less and used fewer content specific words,” Sosa said. Why is this important?
Sosa said research shows that how quickly children develop language is often based on what they hear from parents. When the infants played with electronic toys, parents said little to their children. But with traditional toys, such as blocks, parents shared the names and descriptions of the animals, colors and shapes as their children played, Sosa said.
There was even more information given by parents as their babies looked at the pictures in books, the researcher also said.
Sosa is not telling parents to throw out electronic toys. But she said parents should look at their infants’ play with such toys as entertainment, not a learning experience.
Toy Industry Association spokeswoman Adrienne Appell responded to the study. She said it is important that parents make time to play with their children.
“Playing is a way that kids can learn so much, not only cognitive (认知的) skills, but social and developmental skills,” she said.
She added that play should be balanced, including time for just “make believe” activities, as well as traditional and electronic toys.
【1】When toy companies promote sales, they usually stress their toys are ________.
A.Amusing
B.Electronic
C.Educational
D.Affordable
【2】According to Anna Sosa, what is important for kids’ learning experiences?
A.A good choice
B.A must
C.The past
D.A risk
【3】Which idea will Adrienne Appell probably share?
A.Cognitive skills are the most important for kids to develop.
B.Giving kids electronic toys sets time aside for parents to to something else.
C.Traditional toys are giving way to electronic ones.
D.Parents should get involved to make the toys a meaningful learning tool.
【4】What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.Electronic Cars should be abandoned.
B.Talking more about your kids’ toys is necessary.
C.Abandoning your kids to electronic toys probably means little learning.
D.How to choose toys for your kids is of great importance.
24、 The life of a premature (早产的) baby born during the winter storm in Texas was saved thanks to a team of medical professionals, including a doctor and two nurses who traveled from east Austin to Marble Falls in an effort to save the newborn baby's life.
When Arias began experiencing pains, she and her parents headed to the closest hospital, Baylor Scott & White. Arias gave birth to her daughter, Zaylynn, who weighed just over one pound and was in need of advanced special care. However, the hospital does not offer the specialized care premature babies require, short of proper equipment.
"We had five or six people out at the nurses' station calling hospital networks all over the state of Texas, "said Meredith Schubert, the nurse on duty when Arias arrived. "Nobody could answer our cry for help."
They finally reached Dr. John Loyd, division neonatologist chief at Dell Children's Medical Center in Austin, Texas. Around 5 pm, after already having worked a long time , Loyd packed his SUV with equipment and he and two NICU (新生儿重症监护室) nurses set out for Marble Falls, about 55 miles away. The drive took Loyd and the nurses about two hours as they drove in the night through ice and snow.
After safely arriving at the Marble Falls medical center around 8 pm, the Dell Children's workers set up a simple NICU. Together, the Dell Children's and Baylor Scott & White teams worked around the clock to care for the mother and daughter.
Once the weather cleared enough to allow for a helicopter to safely land, Zaylynn was sent to Dell Children's, where there is a Level IV NICU.
"It was unbelievable when the helicopter lifted off. There were tears from all of us," said Schubert. "It was a huge relief (安慰) and sense of accomplishment and joy that she was doing so well and getting to the place that she needed to be."
Arias told KVUE that she was thankful to the doctors and nurses who worked together to save her daughter.

26、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Building Trust in Virtual Environments
Research into the science behind human communication tells us that up to 90 percent of what we tell one another is nonverbal. It’s the countless eye, facial and body movements we flash one another that help us understand someone’s intention and determine if we should trust them.
The challenge we all face is figuring out ways to build trust in virtual environments. Sure, we have some interactions on videoconferences, but the physical cues (暗示) we’ve become accustomed to reacting to are restricted and masked. This is forcing us to develop new ways to trust one another. Good leaders are working to engineer those opportunities to build trust in their now virtual teams.
There are lessons we can learn from global multinational companies that have figured out how to make virtual relationships work over the past few decades. If you have vital business partners, or even employees working overseas, you have, at best, limited opportunities to meet them in person. What these companies have learned is that actions speak louder than words, and people base a simple analysis of trustworthiness on delivering on commitments. People that do are trustworthy; people that don’t aren’t.
When you hire virtual workers and get a new virtual team member, there is the question of whether someone has the background and experience they claim to have. That means we all need to lean on tools and techniques to help certify (证实) someone’s background. Some companies have built talent databases in which people can search their teammates and confirm their impressive backgrounds. Knowing that you are working with a certified superstar builds trust.
Finding ways to get someone to prove their trustworthiness by doing what they say they will and backing up their claims of experience will go a long way in helping you adapt to the new reality that we work in.
