21、A new BBC documentary series, The Green Planet, gives us a new look at plants. Released on Jan. 10 on Bilibili, it uncovers the wonderful and dramatic ways that plants behave.
“The Green Planet reveals the secret lives of plants in the same way The Blue Planet opened our eyes to the oceans,” editor Elle Hunt wrote in New Scientist.
Plants compete against each other to live. Each species has its own ways of defense. In tropical rainforests, different kinds of plants race for sunlight. The forest floor is described as a “battlefield” in the series as only two percent of the sunlight filters (透过) through it. Some plants like Monstera spread their big leaves to reach light. But they are caught up in a vine (藤本植物) that tries to hitch a ride (搭便车). Finally, they are both overtaken by a fast-growing balsa tree. As the balsa has slippery hairs on its leaves, the vine can’t get a hold. Similarly, some trees make poisonous sap to protect themselves.
Plants also help each other and even communicate. In deserts, the roots of Euphrates poplar are connected. If a tree finds water, it will share it with others through the roots. Studies also show that plants use fungus (真菌) in the soil as a way to “talk” to each other. It’s kind of like how Wi-Fi work. If a tomato plant gets a leaf disease, it can tell nearby plants about it.
The series not only lets us amazed at the plant world but pushes us to understand that plants are important. “Plants are the basis of all life, including ourselves. We depend upon them for every mouth of food that we eat and every lungful of air that we breathe,” said David Attenborough, presenter of the series. It’s time to look after wild plants just as carefully as our houseplants.
【1】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3mean?
A.The forest floor.
B.The documentary.
C.The sunlight.
D.The plant.
【2】What helps a balsa tree reach more sunlight?
A.It takes a ride on a fast-growing vine.
B.Its big leaves can take in more sunlight.
C.It grows fast and its slippery leaves keep vines away.

【3】Why does the author mention Euphrates poplar in Paragraph 4?
A.To show plants can avoid danger.
B.To show valuable water is in the wild.
C.To show plants can interact with each other.
D.To show plants can communicate with other species.
【4】Which of the following does David Attenborough probably agree with?
A.Plants are difficult to study.
B.Plants play a big role in our lives.
C.Many wild plants are endangered.
D.Houseplants also need our attention.
22、 Music for Life
Learning music is important for the educational and personal development of young people!
Learning an instrument: how do pupils choose?
All our teachers are highly qualified and experienced musicians, and pupils can learn to play a wide range of instruments, from the keyboard to the drums(鼓). We have open days when new pupils who are unsure which instrument to choose can come to the centre. They are able to speak to teachers about which instrument might be best for them, and they can also see and hear classes in action.
Who is responsible for buying the instruments?
Parents usually have to provide instruments. But parents of beginners are advised not to buy an instrument until they are told that a place is available. They should also find out from the teacher the most suitable type of instrument to get.
When and where do lessons take place?
Lessons are available in many schools, usually during the day. If there is no lesson available for a particular instrument in a particular school, other arrangements can be made at one of our music centres for lessons on Saturday afternoons or weekday evenings.
How are pupils taught?
Pupils can learn in small groups, in classes or individually, depending on their needs. Small groups of three pupils have lessons that last thirty minutes. Class lessons last forty-five minutes and have at least ten pupils. Individual lessons are offered only to pupils who have some experience.
Starting young: when can pupils begin?
Children are never too young to become interested in music. We have special “Musical Youth” classes for children from the age of 3 to 8. These are designed to encourage young children to enjoy music through a variety of activities including singing, musical games, listening and movement. “Musical Youth” classes take place on Saturday mornings with groups of about 18 children. A parent or other adult must attend each session, and they are encouraged to sit with their children and help them with the activities.

23、 The Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 will now be held on July 2021 With less than three months to go. questions surrounding the safety have grown intense. How to do this safely with thousands of athletes and staff involved coming to Japan in the middle of the pandemic?
A "playbook" released by the IOC and Tokyo organizers provided some insight. Besides masking up, avoiding crowds and washing hands frequently, travelers will have to produce a test negative upon arrival. They will not have to quarantine, but aren't allowed to go to public areas during their first 14 days. All travelers must submit a detailed route to Japanese authorities. They must submit details of their health and any symptoms they are experiencing into a mandatory(强制性的)mobile app. Anyone who breaks these rules could be sent back home.
The IOC encourages athletes to get the vaccine if available, though not mandatory. Japan began vaccinating its citizens in mid — February, so it's likely many Japanese won’t have received dosage by the start of the Games. Dr. Angela Rasmussen, a virologist in Georgetown University, believed the best action the IOC could take to safely stage the Games would be a vaccination requirement. "Many attendees from countries with out-of- control coronavirus transmission are a threat to the public health," she said. “It might be challenging as the access and availability of vaccines varies in different countries, but that might be the safest option for Japan."
Despite many potential restrictions, nothing seems to stop the Olympics from taking place. First and foremost. money. Hosting the Olympics is quite costly and Japan has already spent over S 25 billion of mostly public finances. Even if fans aren't allowed and athletes are heavily restricted in traveling outside of the grounds, this would still be an incredibly profitable event. Global broadcast rights make up roughly 73% of income generated from the Games, and sponsorships make up almost another 20%. Plus, Japan would still get major publicity.
“The government is keen to hold the Olympics for the reputation and to celebrate Japan's virtues and strengths." said Jeff Kingston, a professor at Temple University. "It wants to reprise the glory of the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games and lift national and global spirits that have plummeted during the pandemic. It also hopes to stimulate a depressed economy."
【1】Attendees of the Olympics are required to do the following EXCEPT .
A.get a negative test result upon arrival
B.be quarantined during their first 14 days
C.report their travelling routes in detail
D.input any symptoms through an app
【2】What can we infer from the passage about vaccination?
A.All the athletes are supposed to get the vaccine before the Games.
B.Rasmussen disapproved of the vaccinating requirements by the IOC.
C.The IOC's action to stage the Games will help local citizens get vaccinated.
D.Attendees from some countries might have difficulty in getting vaccinated.
【3】Which of the below is NOT the benefit the Olympics could bring to Japan?
A.Preventing the pandemic,
B.Regaining the previous glory.
C.Enhancing people's spirits.
D.Boosting falling economy.
【4】Which column does the passage probably come from?
A.Business.
B.Education.
C.Sports.
D.Tourism.
