21、 Oindrila Basu from India, 25, is a key member of a global forestry organization. Back in her youth, she had to be taught the importance of nature. She used to destroy nests of the bulbul bird just for fun. Once, her mother caught her and forced her to find the eggs and replace the nest. With a heavy heart, the girl realized she had done something terrible.
This is just one way that Basu’s parents shaped her understanding and appreciation of nature. Living in the countryside, she spent her youth studying ants before a rain, watching sunbirds drink bottlebrush nectar, counting fireflies and watching seedlings grow. Then her parents decided to move to a nearby city with better educational opportunities and she stopped having firsthand experiences with nature.
As she struggled to choose a college major, her mother suggested a career in forestry. That’s when her journey began and she fell in love with forestry. Away from the crowded concrete cities, in the lap of the Himalayas, she got her bachelor’s degree in forestry from Kumaun University, India. When she went on to study for a master’s in forestry from the Forest Research Institute, India, she finally got introduced to a like-minded group of people, devoted to the same cause-the International Forestry Students’ Association（IFSA）.
IFSA is a global organization connecting students to exchange knowledge and participate in forestry activities. The youth joining IFSA are encouraged to undertake its mission-to enrich forest education and spread a love of nature through events and intercultural exchanges.
After six months of exciting international conferences and workshops, Basu, found her home-a family that loved forests as much as she did. She felt rejuvenated（重生的）; her passion had a direction. Now she wanted to do more.
Now with the IFSA, Basu recalled her experience of joining, “On purpose or by chance we chose forestry, or rather, forestry chose us”.
【1】What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
A.Basu fell in love with nature when she first saw bird nests.
B.Basu didn’t go to school when she lived in the countryside.
C.Basu’s parents didn’t like her to spend much time in nature.
D.Basu’s love for nature grew as she learned more about it.
【2】What is the text mainly about?
A.The development of an Indian family. B.The road to forestry of an Indian girl.
C.The importance of protecting forest. D.The influence of IFSA on everyone.
【3】In IFSA the youth can_____.
A.communicate with nature lovers B.escape city life
C.take a master’s degree course D.organize forestry activities
【4】Which word can best describe the work of IFSA?

22、We’ve all been there: You’re at a dull work meeting or presentation, and your mind keeps wandering to what to eat for lunch, your weekend plans, or what’s going on with the new season of Stranger Things.
Don’t feel so bad about all your daydreaming. Mind-wandering may be a sign of intelligence and creativity, according to a new study in the journal Neuropsychologia. And as long as your performance at work doesn’t suffer when your mind drifts, daydreaming may not be such a bad thing after all, the study authors say.
Researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology wanted to study what happens to people’s brain patterns when they’re told to lie still and do nothing—a prime opportunity for mind-wandering. So they asked 112 study participants to do just that: lie in an MRI machine while staring at a fixed point for five minutes.
The research team used those readings to identify which parts of the brain worked together during this type of awake but resting state, and they also compared the readings to tests the participants took to measure their creative and intellectual abilities. In addition, the participants filled out a questionnaire about how much their mind wandered in daily life.
The researchers made several interesting connections. People who reported more frequent daydreaming during the day scored higher on creative and intellectual tests. Their MRIs also showed they had more efficient brain systems-meaning different regions of the brain were more in pace with each other—compared to people who reported less frequent mind-wandering.
The finding that mind-wandering is associated with intelligence was somewhat surprising, says lead author Christine Godwin, a psychology PhD candidate. That’s because previous research has linked mind-wandering to poorer performance on memory and reading-comprehension tests, lower SAT scores, negative mood, and mental health disorders.
【1】What’s the author’s attitude towards daydreaming?
A. Unconcerned.
B. Approving.
C. Cautious.
D. Doubtful.
【2】What can the participants do during the experiment?
A. Tell lies.
B. Do some reading.
C. Lie and stare.
D. Answer some questions.
【3】What’s the finding of the experiment?
A. Daydreaming may result in good memory.
B. The finding is contradictory to the previous research.
C. Daydreaming is somewhat associated with mental health.
D. The more you are mind-wandering, the less intelligent you are.
【4】What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Daydreaming is Not So Bad
B. Why People are Always Daydreaming?
C. Daydreaming is Harmful to The Brain
D. An Experiment Report on Daydreaming
23、Humans have long gained pleasure from the smells of the natural world. For the most part, though, human beings are not their target market. For plants, fragrances are a way to interact with insects and other animals. Their attraction for people happens simply by chance.
In chemical terms, most natural fragrances are made up of volatiles — so called because of their tendency to change states suddenly. Volatiles evaporate easily, drifting into noses. In plants’ reproductive processes, smelly volatiles attract pollinators (授粉昆虫). But their natural applications are much more varied. If an insect chews through the leaves of some Bursera plants, out shoots a sticky, smelly liquid to trap it. Coyote tobacco plants are even more crafty: upon sensing the smell of hungry caterpillars, they produce volatiles that attract predators to kill the pests.
What is truly amazing is just how wily plants can be in using their scents for reproduction. White flowers often emit their scent at night to attract nocturnal pollinators such as moths. They produce a dilute nectar (稀释的花蜜) that encourages moths to keep moving, rather than linger at a single bloom—all the better to increase pollination. Other flowers change their fragrance after being successfully pollinated, as a signal for insects to go elsewhere.
But though “Scent” is a story of plants’ cleverness, it is also a tale of the human kind. People have long used fragrances for their own purposes, particularly for use in religious ceremonies: perfume recipes on the walls of an Egyptian temple in Edfu demonstrate just how long ingredients have been mixed in pursuit of the best blend. So highly prized were some scents that, to scare off competitors, Arab traders spread a legend about giant eagles that guarded cinnamon.
Eventually scientists no longer needed natural sources for fragrances. In 1866 a fragrance molecule was produced for the first time. Sixteen years later, Houbigant Parfum released Fougère Royale, the first “modern fantasy perfume” that creates an imaginary scent rather than copying a natural one. Nowadays fragrance–making is dominated by man–made compounds, which can be reliably and affordably produced in large quantities.
That has led to the mass production of smelly products, from toilet paper to toothpaste. Scent is accordingly big business. It is said that a world–famous fragrance and flavour manufacturer that claims people interact with its products up to 30 times a day, had sales of €3.8bn last year.

A．Some plants might kill the pests with their smells.
B．Fragrance is a tool for plants to protect themselves.
C．People interact with nature easily through fragrance.
D．Fragrances are less important to humans than to animals and insects.
【2】What does the underlined word “prized” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A．Developed.
B．Rewarded.
C．Mixed.
D．Valued.
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A．Humans do not use fragrances as purposefully as plants do.
B．Natural sources for fragrances will be out of date in the future.
C．Plants use fragrances to both attract and send away pollinators.
D．Man–made fragrances have to be produced by copying natural ones.
【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

B．Smartness behind Fragrance
C．Fragrance: To Make or Not to Make
D．Fragrance Connects Human & Nature
24、Three Ways to Slow Down Myopia
Myopia, which is also known as short-sightedness or nearsightedness, is a growing problem. In fact, a recent study predicts that myopia will affect vision for nearly half of the global population by 2050. Myopia usually begins in childhood and tends to get worse as people get older. This can have a negative impact on one’s everyday life. 【1】 Here’s how.
First, put the devices away. Data from 145 studies covering 2. 1 million participants revealed that increases in myopia are driven principally by lifestyle. Today’s youth spend a lot of time performing near work activities, often on electronic devices. Of course, it’s unrealistic not to use these devices at all. 【2】
Next, go outside. Increased outdoor activity has been shown to slow the onset of myopia by 11%-34%. One possible reason is that components of sunlight activate vitamin D, which may play a potential role in eye growth. 【3】 This places fewer near-vision demands on young eyes.
【4】Regular glasses and contact lenses (隐形眼镜)can help people see more clearly, but they do not slow down the progression of myopia. However, certain types of contact lenses including soft lenses can slow down the speed at which myopia develops, providing a more effective and efficient treatment option. Just consult your doctor.
Controlling myopia is important because the dependency on glasses can reduce one’s ability to participate actively in sports and other activities. 【5】Therefore, take steps to keep your eyes healthy.
A．Finally, try not to wear glasses.
B．Finally, ask your doctor about ways to manage myopia.
C．Myopia can be caused by family history, lifestyle or both.
D．But try to limit them so that there’s more balance in the day.
E．And increasing myopia can sometimes lead to future eye health problems.
F．Fortunately, new research is lighting the path to improved strategies to manage myopia.
G．Also, people are usually engaged in more distance vision activities when they’re outside.

26、阅读下面材料，根据所其内容何所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的故事。
As I sit here thinking and making an attempt to piece together an answer to the question on this application to major in biology, my mind is racing through the many of the bitter and sweet experiences of the past. It makes me realize life is not always pleasant and it does not always have to end at the age of 90 or 100. sometimes it can be 16 or 17.
It was towards the beginning of last year that I had made a discovery in my throat. It seemed like a lump and I didn’t give it much attention although sometimes it did bother me. But it wasn’t until March that I came to know I was suffering from thyroid cancer.
The word cancer has always scared me. It always made me think about death but I had always thought that cancer was only for people aged 40 and up; young kids like me didn’t get cancer! Needless to say, the news was shocking. I couldn’t believe it. I thought, “This is wrong; it can’t be!” But the reality was that I had thyroid cancer and had to fight and succeed in the end.
My parents came home with the devastating news and they were heartbroken. That was when it all started-- one blood test after another, a painful biopsy, many other scans and X-rays.
Unfortunately the doctors were never able to find the cause of this disease occurring among young kids. All they said was that “we need to take her thyroid out before it’s too late.”
On August 2nd, 2007, around 10 am the surgery was done and the doctors were able to remove my thyroid gland. I woke up and saw all these tubes attached to my throat and nose. The next couple of days were too painful filled with just more blood tests. Success as I achieved, I still bear the scar on my neck, a reminder of what I have been through. I am not saying this for any sort of sympathy but it is the incident that has truly changed my life.
注意：
1. 续写字数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
From this I realized how short life can be and in an instant anything can happen that can totally change my life.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
