21、On a hot August morning, in a classroom overlooking New York’s Hudson River, a teacher guides a group of 3-year-olds completely in Chinese. This is just a language summer camp run by the primary school Bilingual Buds, which offers a year-round course in Chinese as well as Spanish for kids as young as 2.
A lot of research now shows the regular, high-level use of more than one language may actually improve early brain development. Knowing two or more languages can improve the ability to focus, decide and deal with information better. These important skills are grouped together, known in brain terms as “executive function”. The research suggests they develop ahead of time in bilingual children, and are already evident in kids as young as 3 or 4. Bilingual education, common in many countries, is a growing trend across the United States, with 440 elementary schools offering the study in Spanish, Chinese and French.
But Tamar Gollan, a professor at the University of California, has found a vocabulary gap between children who speak only one language and those who grow up with more. On average, the more language spoken, the smaller the vocabulary in each one. Gollan’s research suggests that while that gap narrows as children grow, it does not disappear completely. Gollan says, “Vocabulary tests help us find that bilinguals have the disadvantage, where you know the word but you just can’t get it out.”
In fact some of the values of bilingualism can’t be measured at all, of course. To speak more than one language is to open the mind to more than one culture or way of life.
Bilinguals also appear to be better at learning other new languages. Clarisse spent her early childhood in Switzerland speaking French. At 6, she learned English. Later she learned Spanish, German, and, during three years living in Tokyo, Japanese. Now she has easily mastered several languages.
【1】Why should children learn more than one language according to Paragraph 2?
A. Because it can do good to children’s brain development.
B. Because it’s part of a language summer camp.
C. Because it is common in many countries.
D. Because it is popular with children.
【2】The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 probably refers to _________.
A. many countries
B. bilingual children
C. these important skills
D. two or more languages
【3】According to Tamar Gollan, __________.
A. knowing two or more languages can improve children’s skills
B. the more languages children know, the better they will be
C. children had better not take vocabulary tests
D. bilingual education is not always good to children
【1】 From the passage we can learn_________.
A. Clarisse likes French best instead of Japanese
B. bilingual education is mainly loved by children
C. bilinguals can have a disadvantage in learning other new languages
D. knowing more languages can help children learn more about foreign cultures
22、According to US national park researchers, microplastic particles (微粒) equal to as many as 300 million plastic water bottles are raining down on the Grand Canyon.
In a survey of 11 remote western places, also including the Great Basin and Craters of the Moon national parks, researchers discovered more than 1000 tons of microplastic particles that had traveled through the atmosphere via rain or water particles.
Most microplastics are from larger pieces of plastic. Since plastics don’t degrade (降解), plastics that end up in waste piles or landfills break down into microparticles and make their way through the Earth’s atmosphere, soil and water systemics.
Janice Brahney, lead researcher at Utah State University, said, “Plastics could be deposited (沉降), readmitted to the atmosphere again, transported for some time…who knows how many times, and who knows how far they’ve traveled?”
Brahney’s team found that so-called wet microplastics, named for the way they are transported, are most likely disturbed by a storm and swept up into the atmosphere, having originated in larger urban areas. By comparison, the spreading patterns of dry microplastics is the same as dust and can travel long distances, often across continents.
Brahney warned that new findings show an urgent need to reduce plastic pollution. Although their full effects on the human body are still unknown, scientists are starting to raise public health concerns over microplastic particles: They’re small enough to stay in lung tissue, causing damage and, in some cases of routine exposure, can lead to asthma and cancer.
Scientists have also found that microplastic particles affect the temperature adjustment function of the soil, leading to losses in plant life.
Brahney believes that her research is just the beginning of understanding how microplastics move through ecosystems.
“Learning about plastics and how they don’t degrade seems like, ‘Oh my God, we should have been expecting this: they’ re just made into these tiny sizes, they could certainly be carried by the wind,” Brahney said.
“We’ve just been missing it,” she added.
【1】The direct cause of the microplastic rain is that_________.
A．small pieces from plastics become degradable
B．microplastic particles travel into the atmosphere
C．plastic particles end up in waste piles or landfills
D．plastic water bottles are transported to the water systems

【4】What’s the attitude of Brahney towards the microplastic move according to the last two paragraphs?
A．Favorable.
B．Uncaring.
C．Doubtful.
D．Worried.
23、 A man in northwest Spain, 54, died after being stung by a “ murder hornet (大黄蜂)”, according to a report. The man from Villestro in Galicia was stung in the eyebrow by an Asian giant hornet while tending to a nest close to a beehive he owned. The deadly insects from Asia were first spotted last weekend in Washington State. Such reports have caused a national panic that may lead to more “needless” damage to those essential insect populations, the experts warned. “Millions and millions of innocent native insects are going to die as a result of this,” Dr. Doug Yanega, a professor at the University of California, Riverside, told the Los Angeles Times. “People in China, Korea and Japan have lived side by side with these hornets for hundreds of years and it has not caused the collapse of human society there. My colleagues in Japan, China and Korea are just rolling their eyes in disbelief at what kind of snowflakes we are.”
Following the initial hornet sightings on May 2, the Washington State Department of Agriculture issued instructions on how to trap the hornets, stressing that so far, the hornets have been sighted only within the state. “There are no known sightings of Asian giant hornets anywhere else in the United States and trapping for them there will likely do more harm than good. PLEASE DO NOT TRAP FOR ASIAN GIANT HORNETS IF YOU LIVE OUTSIDE OF WASHINGTON STATE,” the warning read. The concern for bees has originated from their role in the general ecosystem: Bees are responsible for pollinating (授粉) approximately 75 percent of the fruits, nuts and vegetables grown in the United States, according to the U. S. Geological
Numerous bug experts said that what they call “murder hornet” reminds them of the 1970s public when Africanized honeybees, nicknamed “killer bees”, started moving north from South America. However, they just kill people in rare situations.
【1】What does the underlined word “snowflakes” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A.People favoring cold weather.
B.People with a habit of rolling eyes.
C.Someone easily getting mad or offended.
D.Small pieces of frozen water falling from the sky.
【2】Why does trapping hornets do more harm than good?
A.Because these insects seldom kill people.
B.Because insects do harm to the general ecosystem.
C.Because they are seen only in Washington state.
D.Because most plants in America depend on bees to grow.
【3】What is the purpose of writing the text?
A.To teach the public ways to trap hornets.
B.To warn the public to stay away from hornets.
C.To appeal to people to live in harmony with hornets.
D.To remind people of the past killing cases by hornets.
【4】Where is the text most likely from?
A.An essay. B.A news report.
C.A tourist brochure. D.A geography textbook.
24、 The world's first hydrogen-powered superyacht (超级游艇)could be taken to the waters in the not too distant future. Dutch yacht-design company Sinot has launched a model for a wonderful concept that seems to develop the superyacht industry in a more eco-friendly direction.
Created in cooperation with Lateral Naval Architects, Aqua measures 112 meters and will be powered entirely by liquid hydrogen and fuel-cell technology, which essentially means water will be its only emission. The superyacht, which has state-of-the-art facilities, is to operate at a top speed of 17 knots (节), with a range of 3, 750 nautical miles.
"For the development of Aqua, we combine inspiration from the lifestyle of a forward- looking owner and cutting-edge technology in the 112-meter superyacht, "Designer Sander Si-not said in a statement shortly before a detailed model of Aqua was revealed at the Monaco Yacht Show in September. He added, "Our challenge is to use fully operational liquid hydrogen and fuel cells in a true superyacht that is not only groundbreaking in technology, but also in aesthetics (美感)｡"
Aqua's technology system will rely on two 28-ton vacuum isolated tanks. The energy will then be submitted to the switchboard and distributed, in order to provide power for travelling and hotel services.
The outside and inside design for Aqua, which took developers five months to design, was almost as impressive as its technology system. Aqua will have a yoga space, a swimming platform and a beach deck close to the waterline.
While it's just a design concept at the moment and there are no exact plans to roll Aqua out, according to Sinot, the pioneering design clearly prefigures the superyachts of tomorrow. Earlier this year Latvia's Latitude Yachts announced plans for the Valkyrie Project, a massive superyacht that would span 229 meters, making it the largest in the world｡
【1】What is Aqua special about?
A.Its steaming distance.
B.Its hotel services.
C.Its energy materials.
D.Its modern facilities.
【2】What's the biggest difficulty of constructing Aqua?
A.Poor financial support from the government.
B.The technological problems of dealing with power.
C.The difficulty of designing its whole aesthetics.
D.Lack of resources to produce the components.
【3】What can be inferred about Aqua?
A.It will look like a real hotel.
B.It will be created in Dutch.
C.It will open a new era of superyacht.
D.It will be the largest in the world.
【4】What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A.To advertise a superyacht.
B.To show a new technology.
C.To tell us a green travel style.
D.To introduce a superyacht model.
