21、 Yunqing was 27 when he took the first photo while his daughter Hua Hua was just a one-year-old. At first, he didn't have any plans to make this into a tradition. But all of that changed when he actually saw the first photo and absolutely loved it.
“I didn't have any thought of doing the same thing again but when I got the photo back, I liked it so much that when we went back the next year I repeated it.”he explained.
“After that, it became sort of the family tradition and we did it every year for 40 years with only one break in 1998 when my daughter did not join us for the family holiday and was abroad,” Yunqing pointed out that there was a small gap in the photos.
Things changed quite a lot over the years. His daughter grew up into a beautiful woman and started a family of her own and that meant Yunqing became a grandpa. Hua Hua's first daughter was born in 2008 while her second daughter came into this world in 2012.
“When I started, I never guessed that I'd still be doing this when I was in my 60s and my daughter is now no longer alone, she is a mother-of-two,” he said, adding that he was pleasantly surprised by the positive reactions to the family photos online, even though he didn't expect to continue the tradition forever.
According to Lenore, an expert, traditions help families understand who they are. “We are the family that always sings this particular song, makes this particular food, gathers for this particular event, or even honors our elders-dead or alive-in this particular way. Just as religions have special holidays, activities, do’s and don'ts, so do families and they serve a similar purpose: defining and binding a group by what they share.”
【1】How many photos did Yunqing take with his daughter?
A.40.
B.39.
C.60.
D.21.
【2】What did Yunqing think of the tradition?
A.He would go on taking photos.
B.He would teach others to go on it.
C.He would never put the photos online.
D.He didn’t expect to take photos with his daughter for so many years.
【3】What is Lenore's attitude to the action?
A.Opposed.
B.Doubtful.
C.Supportive.
D.Disappointed.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.Yunqing's Story
B.Why Family Tradition is So Important
C.How to Keep a Tradition for Forty Years
D.Dad and Daughter: The Same Photo Location, Different Years
22、 The beginning of baseball in China traces back further than most would think, in 1863. From that time, Chinese universities soon began to stage baseball activities. The first game, as documents recorded, was held in Shanghai in 1905. National interest in this traditionally American sport picked up quickly, and in 1915, China placed second in the Greater Asia baseball tournament held in Shanghai. Several decades later, baseball was as popular as it would ever be. In 1959,teams from 30 regions came together in a national competition.
Founded in 2002, the China Baseball League (CBL) is China’s professional league for the sport, with seven teams around the country. The opportunity to capture a huge new market with China’s growing interest saw the US Major League Baseball (MLB) open its first China office in Beijing in 2007, which has since then developed the Chinese market and educated young athletes.An example is the youth baseball program Play Ball in major Chinese cities. In the same year, the CBL partnered with Japan’s Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB), agreeing to allow Japanese clubs to send coaches and players to China and Chinese players to train at Japanese facilities. This program helps Chinese schools integrate baseball into their physical education curriculum, build professional development centers. More and more Chinese youths are getting involved with the sport, taking baseball class on the weekends or after school. Many programs for children have been established and often hold classes at many baseball fields.
Through these different partnerships and co-operations, China has created opportunities for the citizens to experience another culture. China might just be the future of baseball. Through heavy investments since 2017, the CBL hopes to one day cultivate a Yao Ming of baseball, which would bring huge exposure to the sport.
【1】What’s the main idea of paragraph 1?
A.The beginning of baseball in China.
B.The development of baseball in China.
C.The national competition of baseball in China.
D.The interest in this traditionally American sport.
【2】How does the writer develop this text?
A.By the time order.
B.By the cities adding.
C.By China’s interest growing.
D.By partner countries increasing.
【3】Which of the following can replace the underlined word "capture" in paragraph 2?
A.lose. B.found.
C.seize. D.control.
【4】What can we predict from paragraph3?
A.Baseball remains a mystery to most of Chinese people.
B.The interest in developing baseball is limited in China.
C.Chinese schools will have baseball education curriculum.
D.More baseball talents and fans will spring up in China.
23、No trees are seemingly cut down every time you search something or read a social media post on your phone or laptop. But websites alone do create emissions (排放)—internet usage is responsible for almost four percent of global emissions. That might not seem like a lot, but it is equivalent to about the same emissions caused by global air travel. That percentage is predicted to almost double by 2025 according to a post by Brussels-based energy magazine Energuide. And internet usage is on the rise—as the pandemic pushed many jobs and education online, internet usage went up as high as 40 percent.
The emissions caused by websites come from the hosting company that ensures that websites are up and running when users search for them on their server. By working with an environmentally sound server like Green Geeks, A2 Hosting, and Host Papa that focuses on renewable energy or lowering their energy usage, websites become more sustainable, Wired UK reported. Something as simple as using fewer images on a web page also helps lower emissions. Another way to reduce emissions is to have simply designed websites with little to no moving images like gifts.
Another aspect of creating more sustainable websites means raising awareness, or letting servers or customers in need of new web design know that it’s even an option for them. Some major search engines like Google have promised to reduce their tech centers’ water usage and to rely on more sustainable energy to run their search engines and other online products like Gmail and Google Docs.
Baruch Labunski, CEO of Toronto-based SEO company Rank Secure, explains that when many clients work with the company to have their websites designed, they don’t often think about sustainability. Companies like Rank Secure make a point to have sustainability as part of their process when working with businesses who want help with web design by relying on more sustainable data centers.
Of course, lowering the greenhouse gas footprint of your website is just the start of building up a sustainable company. Just relying on some renewable energy to have an eco-friendly website doesn’t make a company automatically eco-friendly.
“We need to think about the overall impact of our businesses.” says Labunksi. “If your business manufactures or even uses singleuse plastics, then your website’s carbon footprint shouldn’t be your primary concern.”
【1】To create more sustainable websites, the hosting company should_________.
A.meet the data needs
B.design new websites with more gifs
C.work with an eco-friendly server
D.improve the education online
【2】What can we learn from paragraph 3 and 4?
A.The clients should raise awareness and consider sustainability.
B.Rank Secure has no sustainable awareness when working with business.
C.Creating more sustainable websites can provide the only option for clients.
D.All major search engines promised to reduce their tech center water usage.
【3】The passage is written to__________.
A.evaluate the methods to reduce emissions
B.inform readers the harm of overusing websites
C.encourage search engines to lower the energy usage
D.call for building up sustainable companies of emission reduction
24、 Their cheery song brightens many a winter’s day.But robins are in danger of wearing themselves out by singing too much.Robins are singing all night—as well as during the day,British-based researchers say.
David Dominoni,of Glasgow University,said that light from street lamps,takeaway signs and homes is affecting the birds’ biological clocks,leading to them being wide awake when they should be asleep.
Dr Dominoni,who is putting cameras inside nesting boxes to track sleeping patterns,said lack of sleep could put the birds’ health at risk.His study shows that when robins are exposed to light at night in the lab,it leads to some genes being active at the wrong time of day.And the more birds are exposed to light,the more active they are at night.
He told people at a conference,“There have been a couple of studies suggesting they are increasing their song output at night and during the day they are still singing.Singing is a costly behaviour and it takes energy.So by increasing their song output,there might be some costs of energy.”
And it is not just robins that are being kept awake by artificial light.Blackbirds and seagulls are also being more nocturnal.Dr Dominoni said,“In Glasgow where I live,gulls are a serious problem.I have people coming to me saying‘You are the bird expert.Can you help us kill these gulls?’.During the breeding(繁殖)season,between April and June,they are very active at night and very noisy and people can’t sleep.”
Although Dr Dominoni has only studied light pollution,other research concluded that robins living in noisy cities have started to sing at night to make themselves heard over loud noise.
However,some birds thrive(兴旺)in noisy environments.A study from California Polytechnic University found more hummingbirds in areas with heavy industrial machinery.It is thought that they are capitalising on their predators(天敌)fleeing to quieter areas.
【1】According to Dr Dominoni’s study,what causes robins to sing so much?
A.The breeding season.
B.The light in modern life.
C.The dangerous environment.
D.The noise from heavy machinery.
【2】What is the researchers’ concern over the increase of birds’ song output?
A.The environment might be polluted.
B.The birds’ health might be damaged.
C.The industry cost might be increased.
D.The people’s hearing might be affected.

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。
When I was in school I remembered my best friend called me late night on Saturday to invite me to her birthday party next day. I was very happy and very excited to go there but I needed to ask permission from my parents. I went to my dad’s room and slowly asked him, “Dad, tomorrow is my best friend’s birthday party and I really want to go.” Dad said, “OK I don’t mind but ask your mom.” I went to Mom and said, “Dear Mom.” Suddenly she replied, “What do you want?” I was shocked, “Mom, how do you know that I need to say something?” She said, “The way you are talking shows that.” and she smiled. I asked her, “Mom, I want to go to my best friend’s birthday party tomorrow.” She said, “OK, you can go but you have to be back before 10.”
Then my preparations started. I made a card for my friend and started selecting cloths for the party, and finally everything was completed and I went to sleep and only one thing was there in my mind all the time THE PARTY. I was waiting for the night to end and the party to begin. Next morning, my mom was surprised to see me. No alarm, no Mom’s warming, just I woke up by myself.
The whole day had passed and now it was party time. My dad dropped me in my friend’s place and told me that he would be back at 10. I said, “OK, OK” and I ran away. I enjoyed a lot at the party. My friend loved that card which I made for her and everybody in the party loved my dress. I was on cloud nine. We had dinner, we played so many games and it was 10 finally. I remembered my mom’s advice that I should be back till 10.
