21、Vegetable displays have become surprisingly similar in markets around the world, which offer primarily commercial vegetables such as tomato, eggplant, onion, carrot, beet, lettuce and broccoli. In other words, world diets are actually becoming more similar and based on fewer crops.
A much greater diversity of vegetables exist in traditional food systems, but many of these crops are poorly integrated in current markets and diets. A total of 1,097 vegetable species, with a great variety of uses and growth forms, are cultivated worldwide. Still, we only seem to be familiar with less than 7% of these species.
The diversity of vegetables is more than a local preference. It could play an important role in ensuring adequate levels of nutrition and in meeting the challenges of agricultural production posed by climate change and soil degradation (退化). Many traditional vegetables are known to have higher nutritional value than commercial vegetables, and are well-adapted to local conditions, exhibiting resistance to drought, pests, diseases and poor soil conditions. For example, the Mayan spinach (玛雅菠菜) contains exceptional levels of protein, vitamin C and iron, and provides leaves year-round with little water and in poor soil conditions. Traditional crops like this could be strategic in helping more people meet the recommended levels of fruit and vegetable consumption, which is currently n global health concern.
Lack of information on traditional vegetables is a major barrier to their use and promotion because it prevents a wider recognition of their values and understanding of how best to grow, process and market them. Organizations around the world are placing increasing efforts on promoting these so called “forgotten foods”, because of their value and potential in bringing nutrition and income benefits to consumers and producers, as well as in strengthening local food traditions. This could be the beginning of a great transformation towards more diverse, vegetable-rich food systems around the world.
【1】Why are world diets becoming more similar?
A．People prefer vegetables rich in nutrition.
B．Fewer kinds of vegetables are planted worldwide.
C．7% of vegetable crops lost their chances to survive.
D．A limited variety of vegetables are available to people.
【2】What does the underlined word “cultivated” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Sold.
B．Planted.
C．Displayed.
D．Promoted.
【3】What can be learned from the example of the Mayan spinach?
A．Climate change is a great threat to humans.
B．Soil degradation affects vegetable diversity.
C．Commercial vegetables are highly profitable.
D．Many traditional vegetables have great values to us.
【4】What is the author’s attitude towards the future of traditional vegetables?
A．Hopeful.
B．Doubtful.
C．Indifferent.
D．Pessimistic.
22、 Most people would tremble at the idea of getting caught up in a 73.5-foot wave. But for Brazilian pro-surfer Maya, it presented the perfect opportunity to break her 2018 world record for the largest wave surfed by a female. The athlete skillfully maneuvered (操控) the massive wave at the World Surf League (WSL) Nazare Tow Surfing Challenge in Praia do Norte, Portugal, where she established her first world record by riding a 68-foot wave.
“When I let go of the rope, I had a feeling it could be the one but wasn’t sure. The speed was very high, but the noise that the wave made when it broke made me realize that this was probably the biggest wave I’d ever ridden.
Her record, earning her WSL’s 2020 women’s Biggest Wave Award, was two feet higher than Dupont’s wave, who had ridden the largest wave. It was also 3.5 feet higher than the 70-foot wave ridden by the 2020 men’s Biggest Wave Award winner Kai Lenny!
“Our sport is very male-dominated, with the performances on the male side being often much stronger than ours as females,” she said. “This year, a woman did surf the biggest, tallest wave of the year. It opens the idea that in other categories and other areas of surfing, this could be accomplished, too.”
Though Maya, who has been surfing competitively since she was 15, seemed to effortlessly move over the monster surf, it has not all been smooth sailing. Her first attempt at pursuing the world’s biggest wave in Nazare, Portugal, in 2013 could have ended her career. The surfer suffered a disastrous wipeout that broke her ankle and almost caused her to drown. However, it did not reduce her determination to create her record as one of the world’s greatest surfers!
【1】What was Maya’s result in WSL Nazare Tow Surfing Challenge in 2018?
A．71.5 feet.
B．68 feet.
C．70 feet.
D．73.5 feet.
【2】What made Maya believe she was riding the biggest wave?
A．The noise of the wave.
B．The speed of the wave.
C．The size of the wave.
D．The height of the wave.
【3】What did Maya think of her achievement?
A．It reflected people’s idea about surfing.
B．It represented the highest level of surfers.
C．It proved the ability of female surfers.
D．It indicated the domination of males.
【4】What led to Maya’s achievement?
A．Her strong will.
B．Her talent.
C．Her attempt.
D．Her frustration.
23、 From the very beginning of school we make books and reading a constant source of possible failure and public humiliation (侮辱). When children are little we make them read aloud before the teacher and other children, so that we can be sure they “know” all the words they are reading. This means that when they don’t know a word, they are going to make a mistake, right in front of everyone. After having taught fifth-grade classes for four years, I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books, and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously.
One day soon after school had started, I said to them, “Now I’m going to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before. I would like you to read a lot of books this year, but I want you to read them only for pleasure. I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not. If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it, that’s enough for me. Also I’m not going to ask you what words mean.”
The children sat stunned and silent. Was this teacher talking seriously? One girl, who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time, looked at me steadily for a long time after I had finished. Then, still looking at me, she said slowly and seriously, “Mr. Holt, do you really mean that?” I said just as seriously, “ I mean every word of it.”
During the spring she really astonished me. One day, she was reading at her desk. From a glimpse of the illustrations (插图) I thought I knew what the book was. I said to myself, “It can’t be,” and went to take a closer look. Sure enough, she was reading Moby Dick. I said, “Don’t you find parts of it rather heavy going?” She answered, “Oh, sure, but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part.”
This is exactly what reading, I think, should be: find something, dive into it, take the good parts, skip the bad parts, get what you can out of it, and then go on to something else.
【1】According to the passage, children’s fear and dislike of books may result from ________.
A．reading little and thinking little
B．reading often and adventurously
C．being made to read too much
D．being made to read aloud before others
【2】The teacher told his students to read ________.
A．for higher scores in exams
B．for knowledge
C．for enjoyment
D．for a larger vocabulary
【3】Upon hearing the teacher’s talk, the children probably felt that ________.
A．it sounded stupid
B．it was not surprising at all
C．it sounded too good to be true
D．it was no different from other teachers’ talk
24、ESSEX — Sorrowful families in Vietnam are struggling to bring home the bodies of loved ones who died in a refrigerated truck while trying to illegally enter the United Kingdom on Oct 23. Many of the relatives of the 39 people who died in the freezing, airless vehicle are too poor to bring the bodies back to Vietnam.
Bui Huy Cuong, chairman of the people’s committee told the Guardian Newspaper that officials have visited bereaved (新近丧失亲人的) families to encourage them to receive ashes, instead of bodies, because it would be cheaper. But he said families want bodies so they can be honored in traditional funerals and are hoping the authorities will pay. “At the moment, we are not sure if the British or the Vietnamese government will take responsibility for bringing victims back to Vietnam,” he said. “Families know nothing about it. It should be clear soon which government (if any) will take responsibility …how much can British and Vietnamese governments pay, and how much will Vietnamese families need to contribute.”
The brother of 26-year-old Pham Thi Tra My told the paper his family does not want ashes. Pham Manh Cuong said, “My family wishes to bring my sister’s body back home because we all agree we want to see her for the last time.” Pham Thi Tra My was the victim who came to prominence when her final text home was made public in which she said, “Sorry, Mum. My journey abroad has not succeeded. I love you so much! I’m dying because I can’t breathe.”
Nguyen Dinh Gia, the father of another victim, Nguyen Dinh Luong, from Nghe An province, said his family also wants a body. “They did not tell me how much the transport fee is, but told us it’s costly.” he said. “We are asking for help from two governments ... We’ve had to wait for many days now and are falling into depression.”
The Vietnamese government has not commented on the repatriations (调回本国). Police in the UK and in Vietnam have made several arrests in connection with the incident that claimed the lives of 31 male and 8 female victims, of whom 10 were teenagers.
【1】What does Bui Huy Cuong mainly want to express in Paragraph 2?
A．How officials care about the bereaved families.
B．Some authorities encourage families to receive ashes.
C．How money will be raised to bring the victims back to Vietnam.
D．Families want bodies so they can be honored in traditional funerals.
【2】What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “prominence” in Paragraph 3?
A．Being likely to cause harm.
B．The state of being noticeable.
C．The quality of being pleasant or attractive.
D．Behavior acquired through frequent repetition.
【3】We know about Nguyen Dinh Luong from the news report?
A．His brother is Pham Manh Cuong.
B．He is from Nghe An province, Vietnam.
C．His family will fly to England to see his body.
D．His body will soon be brought back to Vietnam.
【4】What can be the best title for the news report?
A．39 People die in the freezing, airless vehicle
B．39 People try to illegally enter the United Kingdom.
C．Relatives struggling to take 39 UK truck death victims back to Vietnam.
D．Arrests in connection with the incident that claim 39 lives of Vietnamese.
