21、Recent research confirms what our farming ancestors have known for centuries about hedges (树篱). They conserve precious soil by acting as windbreaks and absorbing rainwater that would otherwise wash it from the fields. And hedges store carbon, putting them in the front line of our bi d to tackle the climate crisis.
However, hedges have had a tough time in the poor countryside, with farmers encouraged to tear them down in pursuit of maximum production and larger field s to accommodate ever-larger machinery. What’s more, some hedges have been ignored. If left to their own devices, they’ll eventually become a line of trees. Some hedges each year lose their structures and fail to fulfil the primary duty as a barrier. Around a half of the nation’s hedges have disappeared in the past century.
There are signs that “the tide is turning”. The search for net zero has aroused many organizations’ interest in the humble hedge’s role as a carbon sink. The Climate Change Committee is recommending a 40 percent increase in hedges: an additional 200,000 km. Such recommendations are starting to drive policy. Cash-pressed farmers will be encouraged to create new hedges and improve their management of existing ones under the new Environmental Land Management Schemes, which will replace many of the existing agricultural support payments in coming years. Meanwhile, initiatives such as Close the Gap, led by the Tree Council, is providing funding and support to plug the gaps in existing hedges with new planting. There’s even an app to help time-pressed farmers do a quick survey to spot where their hedges need some help.
This is a good time for hedges. Take some of the most pressing challenges facing the countryside, and indeed, the world as a whole — the climate crisis, soil erosion (侵蚀), insect attack and wider biodiversity loss — and hedges are part of the solution.
【1】What does recent research show about hedges?
A．They are unique landscapes in the rain.
B．They act as dividing lines between fields.
C．They have long been helpful to agriculture.
D．They are frequently washed away from the fields.
【2】What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about hedges?
A．Their suffering.
B．Their production.
C．Their duties.
D．Their structures.
【3】What is many organizations’ attitude towards saving hedges?
A．Puzzled.
B．Concerned.
C．Humble.
D．Indifferent.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A．Hedges: Ancient Resources
B．Hedges: Official Recommendations
C．Restoring Hedges: Bringing Benefits to the Environment
D．Researching Hedges: Originating from Farmers’ Request
22、Is Doodling (涂鸦) Good for You?
Doodling is drawing lines, shapes, etc, especially when you are bored or thinking about something else. Some people believe that drawing random patterns and designs during meetings and lectures shows you aren’t listening or paying attention.【1】They show that doodling may be beneficial.
【2】It used to be seen as a product of absent-mindedness. However, a modern article on the Harvard University website has discussed the idea that random drawings may assist you in keeping memory and focus.
The article mentioned above highlights that26 of 44 American presidents were known to Doodle. with Ronald Reagan famous for drawing cowboys. A 2009 study conducted by psychologist Jackie Andrade asked 40 people to listen to a “dull and odd” voice message.【3】 Those people who did were able to recall 29%more of the information contained in the message
Some experts believe that embracing your creative and artistic sides during meetings may keep your mind active. Jesse Prinz, a famous professor of philosophy, actively encourages his students to doodle. He believes that doodling is the “sweet spot of attention”. And it may not just be good for your concentration. An artist known as Mr Doodle has made a career out of his doodles【4】.
So random drawing to aid concentration may be becoming more of a thing.【5】So next time you see staff members casually drawing pictures during a meeting, it may be a sign that they are listening more than you think.
A．Doodling is universal from the past to the present.
B．It is rare to see a college student doodling at present.
C．However, there are studies which claim the opposite.
D．The young weaken their concentration by random drawing.
E．Employees begin to be taught how to doodle in the workplace.

Tips for Getting the Most out of a “Photo walk”
Photo walks are a great way to get out and get clicking, either by yourself, with a couple of friends, or with a group of people. They can be wonderful for seeing a neighborhood or wild space with new eyes, getting inspired to be more creative with angles and subjects, as well as simply spending time with fun people. Here are a few tips for making sure you get the most out of a photo walk.
Pick a spot with lots of interest
A photo walk is a perfect excuse to go exploring a new area. However, if you’ve never been to the scene before, you might be disappointed at the final photos. Base your chosen spot on what you feel like photographing---whether that is buildings, people, busy streets, a festival, nature and so on, and make sure the place you’re heading for is filled with what you most want to shoot. It will pay off in a satisfying walk if you research your chosen spot beforehand and know what to expect.
Invite anyone, no matter what their skill level is
You’ll be surprised at what you learn from people who seem to know nothing about photography. Even with a simple camera, they can catch some outstanding photos. So bring Aunt Betty or your 10-year-old nephew or anyone else whose company you might enjoy on a walk and keep an open mind.
Don’t forget them
Be sure to take the important small things, such as an extra memory card (or two), an extra fully charged battery, comfortable shoes and clothing. And remember a notepad and pen for taking down notes about places, times, conditions, the names and information of people you meet and any other information you might want to remember about certain shots.
Keep an eye out for danger
Apart from watching the sky for rain, you’ll want to watch out for other people as well. Smartphones are always a target for thieves but they have become much clearer about the value of digital cameras. Don’t make yourself a target by standing for a very long time holding your camera out in front of you. If you’re in an area that is really busy or you aren’t super comfortable, then just be careful about when to use your camera. Imagine your shot in your head before holding up your camera, or use a camera belt wrapped around your wrist or shoulder.
【1】To choose a place for a photo walk, you are suggested to _______.
A. spend time discussing with fun people
B. decide the place on your interest
C. choose famous places
D. find a new area
【2】The people you go photo walking with _______.
A. must know the area well
B. have learned photography
C. would like to explore the places for you
D. enjoy walking with you and keep an open mind
【3】You are supposed to hold the camera around your wrist or shoulder in case _______.
A. it is stolen by a thief
B. it gets wet in the rain
C. it loses some information
D. it falls down on the ground
24、Dear Sir,
I am writing to express my concern about the plans to build a motorway near our village.
Haldersham is one of the loveliest villages in England. It is peaceful and quiet, and it is situated in a very attractive valley. There are also several beautiful countryside walks in the surroundings, with a view of many rare trees and plants.
Most of the people who live in Haldersham have moved here from other places, often from London and other big cities. They have bought houses here to live in a place far away from the noise and the stress of the big city. They paid a lot of money for their houses, but they knew they would get a high quality of life for it.
If the planned motorway is built, life in Haldersham will change greatly. There will be a lot of noise around us, and nobody will want to go on the walks. House prices will certainly go down, because nobody will want to buy houses in a place close to a motorway. Haldersham will become an ugly place.
I don’t think any of the people living in this beautiful village want that, and we all believe exposure to noise pollution can have a direct influence on our health. So, let’s all tell the politicians who support the motorway plans what we think about them!
Yours faithfully,
Hilary Riley
【1】Many people move to Haldersham because ________.
A. it has a good environment

D. they prefer to study rare plants in this area
【2】According to Hilary Riley, a motorway will ________.
A. cause high house prices
B. bring people stress
C. provide a convenient life
D. affect the quality of life
【3】What’s the purpose of the letter?
A. To give an introduction of Haldersham.
B. To show grateful thanks to the politicians.
C. To express disapproval about the motorway.
D. To offer suggestions on building the motorway.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My teacher, Ms. Dixon, sent me to sit in the corner for a while to quiet the class. I didn't understand at all. I knew how to operate the record player. And besides, not everyone had steady hands or the know-how to play a record without damaging it.
So why was it, I wondered, that the class got upset when I tried to take over and show Marcia how to handle the record player the right way? I was only trying to help, as I had done many times before. I also couldn't understand why the teacher had sent me to the corner. I was taught to always help my classmates if they didn't understand or know how to do something. If anything, I thought the class was wrong in their judgment of me. I thought the teacher was certainly wrong in siding with them.
When everyone was excused for recess(休息), Ms. Dixon kept me in. I figured that I was in serious trouble, but I still didn't understand how my actions could have caused the teacher to react like this. I had never been in trouble so bad before.
"Why am I here and not at recess?" I asked Ms. Dixon.
The teacher didn't say a word. Instead, she placed a word puzzle in front of me. I guessed Ms. Dixon wanted me to do it, so I got out my pencil and attempted to solve it. This was like no other puzzle I had done before. It was difficult, with words I didn't understand. I raised my hand for help, but Ms. Dixon ignored me. Maybe Ms. Dixon was just keeping me in to protect me from the other students' mean words.
I struggled with the word puzzle until I was about to give up and throw it away. But I was not a quitter, and so I stayed with the challenge. Once I got one word. I was able to get another, and soon I had solved the problem by myself.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I felt proud and raised my hand high to get Ms. Dixon's attention.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I finally understood that I was actually robbing them of their chance to learn by themselves.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
