21、 It is not unusual for universities to create a range of new courses each semester. A recently-launched course at Fudan University has become a hit both on and off campus.
Just how popular is it? In the first round of course selection, more than 1,000 students chose the course, Breaking Myths (似是而非). Only 258 were lucky enough to get seats in the classroom.
The course, titled with a Chinese phrase meaning “apparently right, but actually wrong”, aims to discuss the differences between science and pseudoscience (伪科学) in different subject areas.
Pseudoscience includes beliefs, theories or practices that are considered scientific but which actually have no supporting data.
Scientists around the world worry about its influence on people. To help young people tell the two apart, Fudan University launched the new course. It brings together 12 professors from fields including literature, science and medicine, with a total of 17 subjects to be discussed.
These topics include the probable risks of vaccination; whether genes are our destiny (宿命); and whether mobile phone radiation is harmful. The aim of the course, according to the university, is to remove prejudices and provide new ways of thinking.
Speaking to China Youth Daily, Fudan University undergraduate Jiang Xinyi said, “In the era of prevalent (盛行的) fake news, both my classmates and I hope to enhance our judgment through this course.
Lou Hongwei, one of the course lecturers, said, pseudoscience attempts to claim the credibility of real sciences without the research findings to support its claims. He explained one such math fallacy (谬误): “Should people prefer community health centers to a comprehensive Grade A hospital if data shows a lower death rate at the former?” Some people do. But according to Lou, hospitals deal with more deadly conditions, so more deaths can be expected there.
Such logical fallacies are widespread, hard to resist but actually unreasonable, he concluded.
Fudan is not the first university to offer such a course. Many other universities around the world also teach skepticism of pseudoscience. As part of its philosophy (哲学) degree, the University of St Andrews, in Scotland, offers a course called “Scientific Thinking”. In the United States, the University of Nebraska Omaha offers a Science and Critical Thinking course as part of its natural science degree.
Like Fudan University, they examine popular pseudoscientific subjects including ghosts, psychics (通灵) and space aliens. They also focus on distinctions between science and non-science, errors in reasoning and critical thinking.
【1】Why did Fudan University offer students the new course?
A.To get more students interested in science.
B.To help students develop scientific thinking.
C.To broaden students’ science knowledge.
D.To promote more teacher-student interaction.
【2】Why did the author quote Lou Hongwei’s words in Paragraph 8?
A.To show the best way to identify fallacies.
B.To describe the features of the new course.
C.To show how pseudoscience can be hard to distinguish.
D.To explain the differences between science and pseudoscience.
【3】What are the last two paragraphs mainly about?
A.Many universities offer similar courses to Fudan’s new one.
B.Scepticism of pseudoscience has become the recent focus of attention.
C.Popular pseudoscientific topics were specially chosen for philosophy majors.
D.The ability of reasoning is highly valued in various courses.
22、 Geese live to be around 25 years old, are very loyal, and never forget their first home. Even so, it came as a total shock to me when, in 2019, an aging adult wild goose made his way back to my family home. Geese love houses with large, green grassland to eat on; the flat area also makes it easy for them to watch out for predators (捕食者). So, at first, I assumed it was just another goose.
And yet, something about the lone male seemed oddly familiar to me. After two weeks of the goose coming back repeatedly, it became clear to me that this wasn’t a random goose. He did all of the same things Peeper used to, like trying to come in through the front door and sleeping in our enclosed pool area. In addition to following Peeper’s old ways, this goose also responded to the name Peeper. Much to my amazement, my old best friend had returned, 20 years later.
Why did Peeper return? It’s hard to say. Perhaps his mate died, leaving him lonely. If s also possible that he is approaching his twilight (薄脣) years and knows it, making him long for his early home. This behavior is typical of geese. Whatever the reason, Peeper continues to live with me. It’s a good thing that I stayed in my childhood home.
He doesn’t come home every single night the way he did as a baby. Some nights he may seek out the comfort of his own kind at the lake nearby. Geese in the wild typically sleep on water. But he’s here a lot, making his presence known and giving me joy. Many years later, the goose still remembers the true meaning of family. So do his people.
【1】What was the author’s feeling at first?
A.Joyful. B.Natural.
C.Shocked. D.Strange.
【2】Which best suggests that the goose was Peeper?
A.The goose kept coming back.
B.The goose reacted to the name.
C.The goose fed on the grassland.
D.The goose slept at the front door.
【3】What can we infer from paragraph 3?
A.Peepers mate had made him return.
B.Peeper was too old to live in the wild.
C.The writer knew why Peeper returned.
D.The writer felt lucky to have Peeper back.
【4】What does the author think of Peeper’s frequent presence?
A.He takes it as a sign of family bond.
B.He considers it as typical of geese.
C.He thinks Peeper is seeking comfort.
D.He supposes it to be a past habit.
23、No matter what your goals are in life, there is one great law that you need to obey in order to be successful: No one else is going to climb the ladder (梯子) of success for you. 【1】 Prom the day you leave your parents’ house, you are responsible for your life and the choices you make.
If you want a better life, you need to make better decisions. 【2】 However, it doesn’t change anything. Only you can change your life by changing the choices you make. Take responsibility for everything in your life. Even if it’s not in your direct control, you can always choose how you respond.
【3】 If you choose what is fun and easy over what is necessary, you will never reach the levels of success and happiness you are capable of achieving in your life. That’s because every great victory requires great sacrifice. If success was easy, everybody would be success.
There is nothing that you can’t achieve with hard work. People often think that their lives will suddenly change through some magical event in the future. 【4】 Your life changes only to the extent that you change. Nothing will ever change if you don’t change what you do daily.
A great way to actively create your future is to ask yourself: If I already achieved my goals, how would I act on a daily basis? What books would I read, how often would I work out, and how would I spend my time at the office? 【5】
A．But that is not the case.
B．No one else is responsible for your life.
C．Now these questions seem like magic to you.
D．Nothing else can be the drive for your success.
E．Once you answer these questions, you know what to do.
F．The biggest enemy to success is the path of least resistance.
G．You can blame other people for your lack of happiness all life long.
24、 For some people, walking or running outdoors is a great way to work out. What may not be so pleasant is seeing trash all over the ground. Well, some people are doing something about it. They are plogging!
“Plogging” began in Sweden. The name combines the Swedish word “plocka,” which means to pick up, and the word Jogging, which means to run slowly. A Swedish man named Erik, started the movement in 2016. On the World Environment Day website, Erik says that he moved to Stockholm from a small community in northern Sweden each day he would ride his bike to work. Concerned about the amount of trash and litter he saw each day on his way to work, he took matters into his own hands.
Plogging, by that term, may have officially begun in Sweden. But many people who exercise outdoors have been doing this for years. Take Jeff Horowitz for example. He is a personal trainer in Washington, D.C. He often picks up trash while running outside. He even has turned it into a game; he will try to pick up the trash without stopping. “I didn’t know it was a thing really. This is just my personal ethics (道德标准), where I go for a run and if I happen to see a piece of garbage lying around and it’s within reach — it is a kind of a little test for me to see if I can grab it and throw it in a near trash can without stopping. And that way, I think, it gives me a little exercise and a little focus for my run. And it helps clean up the neighborhood,” he announced.
Today, logging is an official activity, one that is becoming increasingly popular. Cities around the world now hold logging events, “I would just hope people would think twice before dropping a garbage on the ground. We have containers... seems on every block. So, it’s easy to put your garbage in the trash cans. I just think people should think about it a little bit more. I do hope one day there will not be a need for plogging.” said an interviewee.
【1】Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “took matters into his own hands”?
A. called on people to join him. B. appealed to people to go green.
C. began to pick up the trash. D. had the collected trash recycled.
【2】Like Jeff Horowitz, logging to many people has become a(an) ________ act.
A. automatic B. irresistible C. arbitrary D. temporary
【3】What is the idea that Logging events are meant to promote?
A. Jogging is truly beneficial. B. Trash cans should be within reach.
C. Littering is not acceptable. D. Communities should be kept clean.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. New Exercise Enjoys unbelievable popularity
B. New Exercise Trend Also Helps Environment
C. Plogging — a Fashionable Way to clear waste
D. Plogging — an Exercise Originating in Sweden

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。
That year, my father worked abroad — and couldn’t come back for Christmas. My mother, sister and I had to make our own Christmas decorations.
My mother and I dragged in the final section of our seven-foot artificial Christmas tree from the garage. Before setting the tree in its stand, we moved our sofa over so we would have the room needed for our large tree to fit in the living room. In a moment, we would form the branches that would hold our decorations.
Everything was going smoothly, and my sister announced the stand was ready. Mother and I lifted the bottom section of the tree and were about to place it into the stand when I heard a scream. It was so loud that I assumed someone had broken into our home.
“A mouse! A mouse!” screamed my sister. She screamed just as loud, and jumped up on the sofa as the baby mouse ran to one side of our living room and then the other. Because of the loud screams, the mouse was frightened. The little creature had obviously found a home in our Christmas tree. Once we brought the tree inside and opened the branches, the baby mouse fell out of its temporary home and ran across our living room.
“Get the mouse!” my sister screamed.
It was so tiny and quick that I wasn’t sure what to do. I tried grabbing its long gray tail, but it slipped away. Then I ran to our bedroom and came back with an empty shoebox and a fly swatter (蝇拍). My plan was to stun (打晕) the little mouse and put it in the box.
I was about to hit it with the swatter when my sister shouted out, “Don’t kill it! It’s a baby and kind of cute.” My mother agreed with her, and I could tell by its frightened eyes that the little mouse did, too.
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。
As I saw the fear in the mouse’s eyes, I gained some Christmas sympathy.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I asked my mother and sister if they wanted to say goodbye to the mouse.
