21、Have you ever found yourself in this situation:You hear a song you used to sing when you were a child-a bit of nostalgia(怀旧)or "blast from the past,"as we say.But it is not a distant childhood memory.The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago.
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language.They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages.
Here is what they did. Researchers took 60 adults and randomly divided them into three groups of 20.Then they gave the groups three different types of "listen-and-repeat" learning conditions.Researchers had one group simply speak the words.They had the second group speak the words to a rhythm,or beat.And they asked the third group to sing the words.
All three groups studied words from the Hungarian language for 15minutes.Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered.
Why Hungarian,you ask ? Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language.It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages,such as Italian or Spanish.After the tests were over,the singers came out on top.The people who learned these new Hungarian words by singing them showed a higher overall performance.They did the best in four out of five of the tests.They also performed two times better than those who simply learned the words by speaking them.
Dr.Katie Overy says singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language.The brain likes to remember things when they are contained in a catchy 3,or memorable 4,tune 5.
Dr.Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle to learn foreign languages.On the University of Edinburgh's website Dr.Ludke writes,"This study provides the first experimental evidence that a listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning,and opens the door for future research in this area."
【1】The"song"mentioned in the first paragraph is intended to________________.
A. recall the past B. attract the readers
C. introduce the topic D. compare the childhood with the present
【2】According to the passage which language doesn't share the same root with Germanic or Romance languages?
A. Hungarian B. Spanish
C. Italian D. English
【3】Based on the last two paragraphs,we can conclude that
A. singing is the best way to learn a language.
B. the brain probably works best when the foreign language learners sing the words.
C. a listen-repeat method is very effective for any language learner.
D. Dr.Katie Overy and Dr.Ludke disagree with each other.
【4】In which situation can the finding of the research be applied?
A. A mother is going to teach her baby how to speak.
B. A child is going to have his first music lesson.
C. A student is going to learn a new English song.
D. An American is going to learn some Chinese.
22、People in China consume 10 grams of salt a day on average, twice the amount recommended by the World Health Organization, and over the past four decades adults in China have had among the highest salt consumption in the world.
Salt intake in China is confirmed to be among the highest in the world, with adults over the past four decades consistently consuming on average above 10g of salt a day, which is more than twice the recommended limit, according to new research led by Queen Mary University of London.
The systematic review and meta-analysis(系统评价和荟萃分析), funded by the National Institute for Health Research and published in the Journal of the American Heart Association,also found that Chinese children aged 3-6 are eating the maximum amount of salt recommended by the World Health Organization for adults (5g a day)while older children eat almost 9g/day. Excessive salt intake raises blood pressure,a major cause of strokes and heart disease, which accounts for approximately 40 percent of deaths in the Chinese population.
The team reviewed all data ever published on salt intake in China (which involved about 900 children and 26,000 adults across the country) and found that salt intake has been consistently high over the past four decades, with a North-South divide.
While salt intake in northern China is among the highest in the world (11.2g a day) it has been declining since the 1980s when it was 12.8g a day, and most markedly since the 2000s.
This could be the result of both governmental efforts in salt awareness education and the lessened reliance on pickled (腌制的) food—owing to a greater year-round availability of vegetables.
However, this trend of decrease was not seen in southern China, which has vastly increased from 8.8g a day in the 1980s to 10.2g a day in the 2010s.
This could be due to governmental efforts being mitigated by the growing consumption of processed foods and out-of-home meals.
These latest results contradict (相矛盾) those of previous studies based on the data which reported declines in salt intake across the country.
【1】What is the function of Paragraph One?
A.To warn the readers of the danger of salt.
B.To carry out the research of salt intake
C.To display the dietary habits of Chinese.
D.To lead to the topic of the passage.
【2】What can be inferred in the passage?
A.Out-of-home meals can reduce the salt consumption of Chinese people.
B.Chinese people have a 40-year history of extra salt.
C.Adequate vegetable supply throughout the year might help decrease salt intake.
D.People of southern and northern China are advised to take in equal amount of salt.
【3】What might be the best title of the passage?
A.Research conducted to help Chinese decline salt intake
B.Serious situation of salt intake in China
C.Salt intake habits varying from place to place in China
D.Salt intake causing health problems to Chinese
23、Vinisha Umashankar was returning to her home in southern India from school a few years ago when she saw a man throwing away burnt charcoal (木炭) on the side of the street. He worked by ironing people’s clothes for a living-and his main appliance was an old-fashioned iron box, which he filled with hot charcoal that produced a cloud of smoke. Umashankar started thinking about how this was happening across the country, where the ironing vendor (小商贩) is a fixture.
So Umashankar came up with an idea. Instead of using charcoal to heat up the irons, the vendors could use something abundantly available in India: the power of the sun. Over the six months in 2019, when she was just 12 years old, she designed a cart (推车) that had solar panels to power a steam iron. She turned to college-level physics textbooks to get an understanding of how solar panels work. Then, she consulted some engineers about her concept and asked them to assist her in building a model.
And so the Iron-Max was born. It’s a blue-painted cart shaped like an iron box with solar panels fitted on its roof. It’s attached to a bicycle to allow vendors to move through the neighborhood to collect clothes to iron. Five hours of bright sunshine is enough to fully charge and operate the iron for six hours. The energy can be store Dina battery to provide power on cloudy days. The cart also has a coin-operated cellphone and a cellphone charging point where people can pay to recharge their phones to help vendors make extra money.
With her creative invention, Umashankar was invited to give a powerful 5-minute speech at COP26, the UN’s climate change summit in Glasgow, Scotland, in which she urged world leaders to stop talking and start acting.
Last September, Umashankar was named one of 15 finalists for the Earth shot Prize launched by Prince William, Duke of Cambridge. She did not win the prize in her category, “Clean Our Air”, but was praised by judges for being the youngest finalist for the award.
【1】What is the purpose of paragraph 1?
A.To show an Indian girl’s daily routines.
B.To tell the inspiration for the Iron-Max.
C.To point out an environmental problem.
D.To explain how ironing vendors survive.
【2】What did Vinisha Umashankar do to invent the Iron-Max?
A.She turned to some experts for help.
B.She attended lectures in universities.
C.She used charcoal to heat up the irons.
D.She consulted vendors about her concept.
【3】What does the text say about the solar-powered ironing cart?
A.It is not attached to a bicycle.
B.It fails to work on cloudy days.
C.It can offer additional services.
D.It does ironing fully automatically.
【4】What can we infer about Vinisha Umashankar’s invention?
A.It led to the opening of COP26.
B.It was doubted by most judges.
C.It finally won the Earth shot Prize.
D.It received wide recognition.
24、We’ve all heard the phrase less is more, and in the case of our personal space, it couldn’t be more accurate. In fact, studies have shown that a messy home can have a significant effect on our well-being because clutter(杂乱) can increase our stress and anxiety levels and reduce our ability to concentrate.
One place where this is particularly apparent is the bedroom, where the average person spends about a third of their time.【1】, your mind is unable to slow down and drift into peaceful sleep. You’ll find it easier to catch those much-needed if you’ve cleared away all the odds and ends that have collected on surfaces around the room.
【2】. The human brain prefers order, and a disorganized desk will divide your attention between your task and the state of your surroundings. As a result, you will drain your cognitive(认知的) resources much faster than you would in a tidy environment. If you regularly find yourself in situations like these, then it’s high time to clean up your act.
Now that you’re aware of the difference tidying up can make, let’s dig into some tried-and-tested ways of getting your home into shape. One of the best-known approaches in recent years is the KonMari Method by Marie Kondo, a world-famous organizing consultant from Japan.【3】.
That sounds simple enough, but where should you begin?【4】. If you’re starting with clothes, for example, collect all your articles from wherever they’re stored and sort through them all at once. This helps you see exactly how many extra items you’ve been hanging on to, making it easier to reduce your collection.
【5】. This way, other people won’t be around to make you feel bad about throwing out things like unwanted gifts. Another key tip is to shed any guilt you have about getting rid of objects by remembering that your home should honor who you are now, rather than who you once were. Should you hesitate, simply remind yourself how amazing it’ll feel to have your space filled with nothing but treasured belongings!
A.Kondo also recommends removing alone
B.The first step is to decide whether it is what you need
C.When your resting area is packed with too much stuff
D.Always keep in mind that it’s you who are the owner of your house
E.Another spot that should be kept neat is your work station
F.Kondo suggests working through your home by category rather than by room
G.Her strategy centers on keeping the items that spark joy and getting rid of the rest

26、阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。
Two years ago, Li Yuhua's daughter taught her how to shop online. Since then, the 51-year-old farmer in Wushan has been a regular online shopper. Shoppers like Li Yuhua are the new target for China's ecommerce giants, including Alibaba Group, which operates the Taobao platform, and JD.com. Rural China added 3 million more Internet users in the first half, taking the total number to 225 million, or 26.3%, of the country's total Internet population of 854 million, according to a report on rural ecommerce development released last week by the China International Electronic Commerce Center. That helped improve rural online sales in the first half of the year by 21% to 777.1 billion yuan (US$109.6 billion), outpacing the national growth rate by 3.2 percentage points.
'However, it is a little bit early to say that China's ecommerce battlefield is moving to rural China, ' said Chen Tao, a senior analyst at consultancy Analysys. Unlike urban residents, most rural Chinese haven’t experienced ecommerce shopping. While that provides online platforms with one of the last undeveloped markets for ecommerce, progress has been slow due to the lack of infrastructure(基础设施)and logistics(物流)support.
To address that problem, China's second-largest ecommerce operator, JD.com hired more deliverymen and tested drone(无人机) delivery services to improve service in rural China. Alibaba Group, China's largest ecommerce player, announced in April last year that it had invested US$717 million in Huitongda Network Co., which helps to boost sales in 15,000 towns across 18 provinces.
Another inhibiting factor in the development of rural ecommerce is the income gap. In 2018, annual per capita disposable income(人均可支配收入)in rural areas was 14,600 yuan (US$2,065) compared with 39,300 yuan (US$5,559) in cities. 'Lower disposable incomes in rural areas limit the consumption,' said analyst Chen. 'It also takes time to educate rural residents to accept ecommerce services as most of them are new to online. There is still a long way to go to popularize online shopping in rural China.'
