21、 We all want to be successful in our work. But what happens when our achievements come at the risk of losing important friendships? If your friends didn't receive what they were hoping for, your success could make them feel like they've been “left in the dust”. But does that mean that we shouldn't enjoy our achievements in case we displease someone or that we should feel sorry for being successful when others aren't?
Those of us who value friendships and close working relationships might feel embarrassed for achieving more than our friends. But we deserve our success, and nothing should take it away. Jealousy is only natural, but It’s often unreasonable, too. Your success is probably not connected with your friends' progress, so you shouldn't feel bad about achieving your goals. If your friends stay unfriendly, don’t be afraid to keep yourself away from them. You are not responsible for their weaknesses, and nor should they treat you sharply for furthering your work.
On the other hand, your friends may think highly of your recent success while hiding their real feelings. They could be jealous, angry or sad that they are not progressing at the same rate. So, be careful not to boast. It's a thin line between pride and self-importance, and by crossing the line, you may risk losing team support.
Next time you want to boast about your end-of-year win, or high-class new office, consider your listeners. Maybe your friends narrowly missed out on a position-raising, or experienced pay cuts which meant they didn't get what they were expecting. If your work is on a rising path, it doesn't mean that's the case for everyone.
Perhaps a step forward in your work has meant that you don't spend as much time with your friends as you used to. If you've changed a post or moved to a new office, take the time to stay in touch with old friends. Chances are that in the build-up to your success you've built strong relationships along the way. Don't let that hard work go to waste by losing touch with them.
【1】From the first two paragraphs, it can be inferred that ________.
A.we should enjoy our deserving success
B.our success will certainly hurt our friends

【3】What should we do if our friends support our success?

A.How to share our success with friends.
B.How to enjoy our success to the fullest.

22、Overpopulation is a big problem in every region of the world today. 【1】 Earth’s population is about 6.5 billion people. This number is growing every day. Despite improvements in birth control, in just 50 years, the population will be almost 9 billion.
Many people worry that the Earth won’t have enough resources to support so many people. One major reason for this is that wasting resources and polluting have become habitual behaviors. Industrial output results in polluting the air with dangerous fumes. 【2】 It’s possible that the Earth may become so damaged that it cannot support a large population of humans.
【3】 Even today, many people feed on mere scraps of food and little water. In 50 years, many experts worry that huge numbers of people will starve to death.
People are realizing they can no longer justify their wasteful behavior or put off action to fix it. Many car companies already have patents (专利) for very efficient cars. 【4】 A conversion to clean cars means that petrol can be saved for the future. In addition, the environmental sectors of many governments are setting strict rules for industries that pollute too much. If companies do not keep these standards, they are penalized with higher taxes.
Food is also an issue that is being tackled. Many countries are now approving of the point of view that immediate action is needed. They are determining ways to export goods to people in need, so that no one goes hungry. 【5】 And these ideas will help to support the growing population.
A.Another issue is the lack of useful land for cultivating crops.
B.In some cases, their operations might be suspended altogether.
C.Such cars waste no resources and produce no pollution.
D.Experts will continue to come up with ideas for the future.
E.Too many people are packed into cities and towns around the globe.
F.Also, cars and machines waste important natural resources like oil and water.
G.So, what is being done to prepare for the future?
23、My 21-year-old niece, a second-year undergraduate, mentioned that she watches video lectures offline at twice the normal speed. Struck by this, I asked some other students I know. Many now routinely speed up their lectures when learning offline — often by 1.5 times, sometimes by even more. Speed learning is not for everyone, but there are websites where students discuss how odd it will be once they return to the lecture theatre. One contributor wrote: “Normal speed now sounds like drunk speed.”
Education was adapting to the digital world long before Covid-19 but, as with so many other human activities, the pandemic has given learning a huge push towards the virtual. Overnight, schools and universities closed and teachers and students had to find ways to do what they do only via the internet. “This is a time for schools and systems to reimagine education without schooling or classrooms,” says Professor Yong Zhao. Dr Jim Watterston in Australia thinks that, while the traditional classroom is still alive and well, education needs to be more adventurous and flexible. Earlier this year, Zhao and Watterston co-authored a paper in which they identified some major changes that should happen in education post-lockdown.
The first concerns the content, which should emphasize such things as creativity, critical thinking and leadership, rather than the collection and storage of information. “For humans to progress in the age of smart machines, it is essential that they do not compete with machines.”, they wrote, “Instead, they need to be more human.”
The second is that students should have more control over their learning, with the teacher’s role shifting from instructor to supervisor of learning resources, advisor and motivator. This is where so-called “active learning” comes in with a growing body of research suggesting that comprehension and memory are better when students learn in a hands-on way — through discussion and interactive technologies, for example. It’s also where the concept of “productive failure” applies. Professor Manu Kapurin argues that students learn better from their own or others’ failed attempts to solve a problem before or even instead of being told how to solve it.
If the progress of the times is unable to hold back the coming revolution in education, it seems unlikely that the traditional classroom is going to have any luck in its attempts trying to turn back the clock. As Laurillard puts it, “It took a global pandemic to drive home what we’ve been saying for 20 years.”
【1】By giving examples of “speed learning” in the first paragraph, the author wants to show that _________.
A.digital world is dramatically reforming the way of learning.
B.speed learning completely replaces normal speed learning.
C.returning to the lecture theatre is strange after speed learning.
D.education begins to adapt to digital world after Covid-19.
【2】According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.It is essential for smart machines to be more human.
B.Students should possess more information about creativity.
C.Students value others’ failure over their own failure.
D.“Active learning” calls for diverse ways of involvement.
【3】According to Zhao and Watterston, the major changes in education should include _________.
①learning mode ②learning motive ③learning attitude ④learning focus
A.①④
B.②③
C.①③
D.②④
【4】According to the passage, what does the author most probably agree with?
A.Speed learning harms students’ learning efficiency.
B.The coming revolution in education is irreversible.
C.Teachers will play a less important role in the future.
D.The traditional classrooms will eventually disappear.
24、A good relationship between students and teachers makes the classroom a very inviting place.
When you like your teachers, it’s easier to pay attention to their explanations and improve your marks. 【1】When your teachers consider you to be a friend, they’ll feel more open in class and that will probably influence the classroom in a positive way. Now here are some tips to develop a friendly relationship with your teachers:
Ask questions.【2】Show them that you’re interested in their subjects. That will make them notice you. But never ask questions that you already know the answers to. If your teachers realize that you are not asking real questions, they might think that you’re not actually trying to learn, but only trying to make an impression.
【3】When you see one of your teachers in the hall, greet him/her and ask if he/she is going to that concert or if he/she has seen that movie.【4】Some teachers don’t like to have friendly relationships with students, but most of them are happy to chat with their students. After a while, they may start to talk with you about non-school subjects in the classroom.
The rest is totally up to you; it is very easy to develop a friendly relationship with any of your teachers. If you want to be friends with your teachers, just treat them as friends, but don’t forget that no matter how good friends you are, 【5】.
A.Talk about non-school subjects.
B.Choose the right subjects.
C.That way you’ll show that you consider him/her as a friend.
D.If you have any questions about that subject, ask them.
E.they will still be your teachers and deserve your respect.
F.we should obey whatever they ask and finish our homework on time.
G.When you consider your teachers as friends, you’ll certainly have more respect for them.
