22、If you want to become a fluent English speaker, you should take some advice: there are four skills in learning English. They are listening, speaking, reading and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening.
Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentences, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc.
There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammar—or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.
As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs(输入) in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening.
For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening, you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably(更好地) taking some notes.
If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically(自动地)，and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.
【1】According to the author, which should you improve first among the four skills?
A．Reading and listening. B．Reading and writing.
C．Writing and speaking. D．Speaking and listening.
【2】To improve your reading, when you read you should ________.
A．look up all the new words in the dictionary
B．think about what you are reading actively
C．spend more time studying grammar
D．copy as many words and sentences as possible
【3】The underlined words “come across” in paragraph 3 probably be replaced by ________.
A．meet by accident B．discover C．find on purpose D．look for
【4】The author seems to agree with the view that ________.
A．everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every day
B．you needn’t practice listening if you keep in reading every day
C．being good at reading is helpful in improving your listening
D．you should take notes of whatever you are hearing
23、 Vinegar is great. It makes salad, fries and dumplings taste better, and you can even clean your windows with it. And now, according to scientists, it may even help the planet's population survive climate change. Researchers from the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science(CSRS)in Japan proved that. They found growing plants in vinegar makes them more resistant to droughts. This could mean that in the future, worries about climate change affecting the world's supply of food will be much lower.
The discovery was made after the researchers studied the Arabidopsis, a plant known for its ability to survive, in dry weather. It was found that when the plant was placed in drought-like conditions, it produced a chemical called acetate (醋酸盐)－the main component of vinegar.
After discovering this, the scientists experimented further by adding acetate to the soil of other plants before they stopped giving them water completely. After leaving the plants for 14 days, they found that the ones treated with acetate had survived, while the untreated plants had dried up and died.
It's hoped that this simple method of survival could soon be used to help farmers in dry countries keep their crops alive. “In the experiment, we targeted the staple foods of the world—rice, wheat and maize(玉米)... and proved successful”, said Jong Myong Kim, co-author of the study.
Kim has already been in touch with people around the world who are interested in trying this simple and cost-effective method out for themselves from farmers to companies and amateur gardeners, “Now we are trying to cooperate with them to make a method to apply this system, and make the process as simple as possible,” he said. Hopefully this means the end of hunger caused by bad weather in the future.
【1】What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A．Vinegar may help creatures survive bad weather.
B．Vinegar is found in plants by Japanese scientists.
C．Vinegar is very useful for cooking a good meal.
D．Vinegar is mainly used by people to clean houses.
【2】Scientists in Japan find from their studies that __________.
A．the Arabidopsis could survive in dry weather because of the shape
B．soil condition could be changed by pouring vinegar continually
C．the acetate can be used by farmers to replace the soil
D．the plants treated with acetate could survive dry conditions
【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．It's too difficult for farmers to accept the method.
B．How to decrease the cost is the main issue.
C．The method is promising especially in agriculture.
D．Keeping plants alive means a lot for scientists.
【4】Where is this text most probably taken from?
A．Medical journal
B．Science magazine
C．Health weekly
D．Food magazine
24、AI, 5G, cloud computing and other digital technologies are not only changing our lives but shaping the economy as well.
China’s six major commercial banks are stepping up digital wallet efforts to provide new drive for the e-CNY(数字人民币) trials in the country, as reported by Shanghai Securities News on March 23.
“The functions and properties of e-CNY are exactly the same as those of the paper currency, except that the form is digital,” said Mu Changchun, head of the People’s Bank of China’s Digital Currency Research Institute.
Many people are puzzled by e-CNY and electronic payments. “Digital currency has the characteristics of both paper money and electronic payment,” said Wu Qianhong, a professor at the School Electronic and Information Engineering, Beihang University. “In theory, digital currency can replace paper money, Alipay and WeChat payments.”
Compared with Alipay and WeChat payments, e-CNY features anonymity (匿名性) and security. E-commerce platforms that accept payments via e-CNY will not have access to user’s personal information. E-CNY users can open an anonymous digital wallet by registering a mobile phone number, and telecom operators cannot disclose customer information to the central bank or any third-party institutions. Mu noted that 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 obtaining the other party’s account number, users can enter the amount of digital money to transfer and then enter the payment password to complete the transaction (交易). However, the process behind these transfers are different. For electronic payments, the transfer has to go through a third party, and the receivers will get the transferred money only when they withdraw money from banks. But e-CNY transfers only need a payer and a receiver to complete a transaction. Therefore, it guarantees risk-free payments, according to Wu.
In simple terms, e-CNY can be considered “money”, while electronic payments are like “wallet”.
【1】What can we know about e-CNY?
A．It is issued by six major commercial banks.
B．It combines paper money and electronic payment.
C．It is designed to replace Alipay and WeChat payments.
D．It has exactly the same function as other payment tools.
【2】How does e-CNY protect users’ privacy?
A．By limiting access to personal information.
B．By storing personal data in the central bank.
C．By opening a unique digital wallet for each user.
D．By linking telecom operators to a mobile phone number.
【3】What can be concluded from Paragraph 6?
A．E-CNY transfers require to go through a third party.
B．E-CNY is more convenient than other electronic payments.
C．E-CNY can be transferred without the receiver’s information.
D．E-CNY and electronic payments ensure security in the same way.
【4】What’s the main purpose of the text?
A．To promote the use of e-CNY.
B．To inform readers of e-CNY.
C．To compare different types of payments.
D．To describe the impact of digital technologies.
