21、When you read articles or watch TV, you may meet with the words, “citizen science(公众科学)”,every now and then. 【1】 It’s scientific research done, in whole or in part, by non-professional (非专业的)scientists in public. They can include teachers, students, etc. and act as volunteers.
【2】For researchers, citizen science can greatly expand ( 扩大 )the area of a study without making it costly. For example, a bird survey involving volunteers can cover North America in a few weeks and cost a small amount of money. However, paying scientists to perform the same survey would be very expensive, and it would make the study harder.
For volunteers, citizen science can increase their knowledge of science. Besides, it can be fun and sometimes quite interesting. Many volunteers join in citizen science because they are interested in the environment. 【3】
As to where citizen science takes place, it depends on different research programs. Some will require people to go to a challenging place in the wild. 【4】Many universities, for example, have certain programs which invite local gardeners to study their plants and offer scientists information on their plants from their gardens.
If you want to take part in a citizen science project, you should start by being clear about what topic you like. 【5】If they agree with your request, you can offer your help as a citizen scientist.
A．This term is also known as “crowd science”.
B．Some people may hate taking part in citizen science.
C．Making these people do research has great advantages.
D．For example, volunteers can carry out research in their gardens.
E．And they’d like a chance to communicate with real scientists in the field.
F．Then call a certain organization and ask if you can help with one of its projects.
G．But some research programs can save people the trouble of traveling a long way to work.
22、Germans have a word wanderlust which translated into English would be ‘the desire to wander'． Nowadays the chance to travel is endless． Thanks to cheap air tickets， travelling abroad is very easy and sometimes it's even cheaper to fly out of the country than to travel within your own． So， yes， travelling is cheap but there have to be other reasons to travel and you've right， there are plenty!
I have always had this feeling of wanderlust． It started from me wanting to explore my local woods at the back of my garden as a young girl and as I have grown， so has my sense of adventure． And I found my local woods being replaced with the Brazil wetland， Pantanal， where I went last summer in search of jaguars， snakes and crocodiles． The thing with travelling is it's always different． Even if you went to the same country， to the same town and stayed in the exact same hotel it would be a completely different experience． The people you meet will be different， and they will tell you their own travelling stories： stories of holiday romance， holiday worries and stories that seem so outrageous that you can hardly believe them until something similar happens to you．
Or maybe the difference is you？ Maybe you have changed since last time you were there？ And that's the thing with travelling - it changes you． When you travel you are forced to experience a new culture． Whether it's eating guinea pig， or staying with a family where neither of you speak a common language and you have to communicate through hand actions and smiles， the experience gives me itchy feet to do it all again． And although wanderlust is a German word， the English idiom "to have itchy feet" has a similar idea． Someone who has itchy feet needs to leave or travel． This desire to explore is found not only in language but in us．
【1】According to Paragraph 2， what is the most important part of travelling？ ______
A．You can have different experiences．
B．You can hear many travelling stories．
C．You will experience holiday romance．
D．You are able to take more adventures．
【2】The underlined word "outrageous" in Paragraph 2 probably means ______ ．
A．interesting
B．surprising
C．moving
D．disappointing
【3】What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refer to？ ______
A．Staying with a family without common languages．
B．Communicating through hand actions and smiles．
C．Eating guinea pig with a family．
D．Experiencing a different culture．
【4】The writer wrote the passage in order to ______ ．
A．give various reasons for travelling
B．encourage people to travel abroad
C．explain the German word "wanderlust"
D．share the writer's travelling experiences

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.
Offshore production
The world’s consumption of fashion is huge. The European Union imported textiles (clothing and carpets) to the value of €83.7 billion in 2010. Prices have fallen, too, with hand-finished shirts costing less than five euros. To make clothes at these low prices, companies have to keep costs down. They use offshore production to do this. Large companies make their products in developing countries where workers are paid much less than in developed countries.
A point that should be considered in that case is that developing countries encourage developed countries to invest in them to provide jobs. Supporters of overseas production point out that increased investment has positive effects in the long term. Nobel prize-winning economist Paul Krugman points out that the growth in manufacturing has an impact on the rest of the economy, because it reduces the number of people needing to work in agriculture and increases competition for labour. This leads to higher wages, which lead to other improvements, such as the ability to send children to school. On the other hand, the disadvantage of this foreign investment is the fact that it can have a negative impact on the economy of developed countries, because people lose their jobs when production is outsourced to other countries.
It seems that if multinationals are going to benefit from low production costs by using overseas suppliers, they should do more to improve the social situation-for example, by building schools for the children in those communities. It is also clear that multinationals should invest in communities in the developed countries where they sell their products. Furthermore, given multinationals do benefit from lower costs of production in developing countries and their workers, they need to feel obliged to protect the workers in overseas manufacturing plants.
