22、Many people have heard bee populations are declining due to such threats as pesticides(杀虫剂). And many understand bees are important to plant pollination(授粉). Yet, according to a study led by Utah State University ecologist Joseph Wilson, few are aware of the wide diversity of bees and other pollinators beyond such species as honeybees.
“The U.S. Postal Service recently put out its Protect Pollinator series, which features only the European honeybee and the monarch butterfly,” says Wilson, assistant professor of biology at USU’s Tooele campus. “A social media commenter observed that using these two species on a campaign to protect pollinators is similar to focusing on chickens to save birds. It’s a pretty good comparison, actually.”
Wilson, with colleagues Matthew Forister of the University of Nevada-Reno, published findings in the Sept. 5, 2017, online edition of Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment.
“In our recent survey, 99 percent of our respondents said bees are important, yet only 14 percent were able to guess within 1,000, the actual number of bee species in the United States,” he says. “Most people guessed around 50 species of bees, while the correct number is about 4,000 known species.” Further, when shown images of varied insects, many people were unable to distinguish bees from non-bees.
“A challenge with lack of knowledge about bees is you can’t protect what you’re now aware of,” Wilson says. “We could be losing species or causing decline and not even know it.”
Public education is key to encouraging conservation efforts, he says. “Because conservation efforts require substantial public support, it’s important that the public understand bees and what needs to be done to protect these species,” Wilson says. “Education is the key to understanding bee declines and protecting our pollinators.”
【1】According to the text, bees function as __________.
A. honey-makers
B. pest-killers
C. producers
D. pollinators
【2】What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A. Wilson is in support of the Protect Pollinator series.
B. The commenter observed honeybees and butterflies.
C. People neglect many other pollinators.
D. Protecting chicken can help save birds.
【3】What does the underlined word “substantial” in the last paragraph mean?
A. legal.
B. large.
C. minimum.
D. slim.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A. Not Only Honeybees
B. Protection of Honeybees
C. Growing Threats to Bees
D. Newly Discovered Bee Species
23、Norwegian playwright and author Jon Fosse has just been awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Literature for his “innovative plays and prose which give voice to the unsayable”.
The Swedish Academy credits Fosse as “one of the most widely performed playwrights in the world”, although the 64-year-old originally made his name as a novelist, beginning with Red, Black in 1983. He has since written many works of prose and poetry. “His literary works, spanning a variety of genres(体裁), comprises about 40 plays and a wealth of novels, poetry collections, essays, children’s books and translations,” said Anders Olsson, chairman of the Nobel Committee for Literature.
Jon Fosse draws inspiration from his rural living environment and personal struggles, which have deeply influenced his distinctive writing style. Growing up in a small coastal village, Fosse was immersed in the beauty of nature and the vastness of the sea, which filled him with a sense of solitude and introspection(内省) that is reflected in his works. Fosse’s writing discussed themes of desolateness(孤独，苍凉), longing, and the search for meaning in life. Additionally, his battles with depression have enabled him to explore the depths of human emotions and existential des-pair.
“He touches you so deeply when you read his works,” said Anders Olsson. “What is special about him is the closeness in his writing. It touches your deepest feelings-anxieties, insecurities, questions of life and death-which are things that every human being actually faces from the very beginning. In that sense I think he reaches very far and there is a sort of a universal impact of every-thing that he writes-it has appeal to this basic humanity.”
Fosse is the first-ever laureate writing in Nynorsk, one of the two official languages of Norwegian, but only used by just 10% of the population. As The Guardian writes, “Many Nynorsk speakers see Fosse ‘as a kind of national hero’ for his championing of the language.” Fosse’s recognition on a global stage promotes the visibility and importance of Nynorsk as a written standard. It will attract more attention to Nynorsk literature, inspire and encourage Nynorsk speakers to continue preserving and promoting their linguistic(语言的) heritage.
【1】What do we know about Jon Fosse from paragraph 2?
A．His most popular work is the play Red, Black.
B．He accomplished various genres of literature works.
C．Many famous plays are the inspiration for his writing.
D．His language skills earned him the Nobel Prize in Literature.
【2】What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A．Jon Fosse’s tough experiences.
B．Jon Fosse’s motivation for writing.
C．The major themes of Jon Fosse’s works.
D．The effect of Jon Fosse’s life on his writing style.
【3】What is special about Jon Fosse’s works according to Anders Olsson?
A．They explore the meaning of life.
B．They touch human’s deepest emotions.
C．They show the bond between humans and nature.
D．They appeal to readers to focus on personal feelings.
【4】What contribution of Jon Fosse is mentioned in the last paragraph?
A．He explains the importance of linguistic diversity.
B．He has improved the international status of Norway.
C．He promotes the development and preservation of Nynorsk.
D．He shapes the basic writing standard of Norwegian literature.

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。
A Meal with a Smile
At eleven years old,my main concern was money. Where could I get it? What would I spend it on?How much did I need to buy the new must-have thing my classmates either had or wanted just as badly as I did?
I went to my mom. “Mom,I need more money,” I said,leaning against the kitchen counter while she cooked dinner. “What else can kids do for a job around here?”
“You think you need a job?” Mom asked with a smile. “You could just enjoy the summer like the other kids,you know?” “I’ll still have time for that,but I want to work. ” I shrugged. “Okay, let me ask around.” Mom finally agreed.
The next day,she had an answer. “Your grandmother will pay you to help her deliver lunch each day to the elderly.” I couldn’t wait to start my new job on Monday after school dismissed for the summer.
When my grandmother picked me up, I thanked her for the job with questions. “It’s simple. We pick up a large container full of hot meals in a nearby town and then we go on our delivery route.” That was easy.
After our load was arranged in the backseat, my grandmother drove us to our first stop: a small house. I nearly jumped when I glanced over to see a tiny old woman in the corner looking at me. When I drew near to her,she smiled at me, revealing no teeth. The house smelled terrible and old like the antique stores my mom liked to visit. I held my breath until we went back out onto the porch. Was this really how some people lived? I couldn’t wrap my head around it.
The next stop was much the same and the next. The houses varied in size and shape,some were nicer than others, but the same wrinkly people eagerly waited for their meals. Each person smiled at me and thanked again and again as I hurried to get out of there. I was sweaty and tired.
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。
On our way back home, I sat at the backseat silently with the idea of giving up.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Her words touched me deeply and I decided to continue the job.
