21、What are “soft skills”? You may ask. “Soft skills” is the term used for those skills that are not technical or job-related. 【1】 These skills characterize your relationships with other people, or how you approach life and work. In the workplace, soft skills are considered to be a complement to hard skills, which refer to a person’s knowledge and occupational skills.
【2】 Imagine you are working in a company producing something, let’s say light bulbs. You come up with a revolutionary new technology. Your light bulbs are suddenly much better than others and your profits go up. But, after a while, your competitors get hold of the technology: you license its use, perhaps, or they develop alternatives. Suddenly, light bulbs are all the same again and your profits are suffering. You still need the new technology. 【3】
Hard skills are like your technology: anyone can acquire them through formal education, training programs, and concentrated effort, and they are necessary. Without them you will not be able to operate in the workplace. Soft skills are your unique selling point. 【4】 Plus, soft skills are regarded as those relating to emotional intelligence, the ability to recognize and manage your own and others’ emotions. However, in reality, they go beyond that, and into the wider areas of how you organize yourself and how you approach life. It has been suggested that in a number of professions soft skills may be more important than occupational skills over the long term.
Like hard skills, soft skills require a lot of practice to make you really skilled at using them. 【5】 You measure your success in developing soft skills in how well you manage relationships with those around you. These include family, friends, and co-workers, as well as customers and those who provide you with goods or services.
A．Think of soft skills in the light of competition principles.
B．They also give you a competitive edge in the workplace and even in life.
C．However, what you need most is a reputation for customer service.
D．They include social skills, interpersonal skills, and a positive attitude.
E．Unlike hard skills, there are no exams to prove that you can do them.
F．One reason soft skills are so valued is that they help better human connections.
G．Hard skills are skills you can gain through education, training programs and certifications.
22、 In England, people often talk about the weather because they can experience four seasons in one day. In the morning the weather is warm just like in spring. An hour later black clouds come and then it rains hard. The weather gets a little cold. In the late afternoon the sky will be sunny, the sun will begin to shine, and it will be summer at this time of a day.
In England, people can also have summer in winter, or have winter in summer. So in winter they can swim sometimes, and in summer sometimes they should take warm clothes.
When you go to England, you will see that some English people usually take an umbrella or a raincoat with them in the sunny morning, but you should not laugh at them. If you don't take an umbrella or a raincoat, you will regret later in the day.

23、When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence “How do you do?” as an example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.
Languages do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It’s important to master the rules for word order in the study of English, too. If the speaker puts words in a wrong order, the listener can’t understand the speaker’s sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change. Let’s see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.
“She only likes apples.”
“Only she likes apples.”
“I have seen the film already.”
“I have already seen the film.”
When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit(实质) of the language and use it as the English speaker does.
【1】From the passage we know that _______when we are learning English.
A．we shouldn’t put every word into our own language
B．we should look up every word in the dictionary
C．we need to put every word into our own language
D．we must read word by word
【2】The writer thinks it is _______ in learning English.
A．difficult to understand different sounds
B．possible to remember the word order
C．important to master the rules in different ways
D．easy to master the rules for word order
【3】“She only likes apples.” ________.
A．is the same as “Only she likes apples.”
B．is different from “Only she likes apples.”
C．means “She likes fruit except apples.”
D．means “She doesn’t like apples.”
【4】We can learn from the passage that ________.
A．the meaning of an English sentence always changes with the order of the words
B．The order of words can never change the meaning of an English sentence
C．sometimes different order of words has a different meaning
D．if the order of words is different, the meaning of the sentence must be different
24、When it comes to lowering our carbon emissions (排放), it seems that nothing is simple. Electric vehicles (EVs) act as an example of potential greenwash. “They seem very attractive at first sight,” writes The Next Web in a report. “When we look more closely, it becomes clear that they have a substantial carbon footprint.”
The rare earth metals and costly minerals included as essential ingredients in EV batteries are not renewable. What’s more, their extraction (提炼) is often anything but green.
So the question is: is it worth it? Just how much emission reduction can EVs justify? Luckily, a life cycle assessment has been done to give us some answers.
“A life cycle analysis of emissions considers three phases,” writes The Next Web. “the manufacturing phase, the use phase, and the recycling phase.” In the manufacturing phase, the battery is to blame. “Emissions from manufacturing EV batteries were estimated to be 3.2 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2), 1/4 of those from an electric car, 13 tons of CO2. Those were bigger than emissions from gas cars, 10.5 tons of CO2.” If the vehicle life is assumed to be 150,000 kilometers, emissions from the manufacturing phase of an electric car are higher than gas cars.”
In the use phase, the source of electricity the consumer is using to power their car comes into play in a major way. “To understand how the emissions of electric car vary with a country’s renewable electricity share, consider Australia and New Zealand,” continues the report. “In 2018, Australia’s share of renewables in electricity was about 21%. In contrast, the number in New Zealand’s was about 84%. Electric car emissions in Australia and New Zealand are estimated at about 170g and 25g of CO2 per km respectively. As a consumer, our car is only as green as our country’s energy mix.”
Finally, in the recycling phase, we look at vehicle dismantling(拆除), vehicle recycling, battery recycling, and material recovery. “The estimated emissions in this phase, based on a study, are about 1.8 tons for a gas car and 2.4 tons for an electric car. This difference is mostly due to the emissions from battery recycling, which is 0.7 tons,” shows in the report. “While electric cars cause more greenhouse gas emissions than gas cars do, it's important to note the recycled batteries can be used in subsequent batteries. This could have significant emissions reduction benefits in the future. For complete life cycle emissions, the study shows that EV emissions are 18% lower than gas cars.”
So here’s the takeaway: EVs are greener. Maybe they’re not as green as we thought. There’s certainly room for improvement. But the real challenge lies in speeding the global energy transition toward greener energy-production.
【1】Why is a life cycle analysis of emissions made?
A．To illustrate the advantages of EVs.
B．To show how gas cars outperform EVs.
C．To weigh the environmental impact of EVs.
D．To examine the energy sources of gas cars and EVs.
【2】How does the author support the underlined statement in Paragraph 5?
A．By giving instructions.
B．By highlighting features.
C．By making comparisons.
D．By analyzing cause and effect.
【3】According to the passage, what contributes to EVs’ beating gas cars?
A．Recycling of batteries.
B．Overall driving distance.
C．Manufacturing technology.
D．Government’s energy policy.
【4】Which of the following statements does the author support?
A．EVs are worthy of the praise they have received.
B．EVs are not successful for their environmental downsides.
C．EVs will no longer be widely accepted for their emissions.
D．EVs are not truly green until their energy sources become green.
25、The Water Angel
