21、2022 Earthshot Prize Winners
The Earthshot Prize is a 10-year project by Britain government that aims to find solutions to the biggest environmental problems the planet faces. The hope is that those solutions can be shared and repeated around the world. Every year, four prizes are awarded and each prize-winner wins ＄1. 2 million for their efforts.
Protect And Restore Nature
Kheyti won the prize for protecting and restoring nature with its “Greenhouse-in-a-box” idea. The company provides a simple, large greenhouse to small farmers at a low cost. The greenhouses allow farmers to use 90% less water and produce seven times as much food. The company is already working with 1, 000 farmers across India Kheytihopes to get its greenhouses to 50, 000 farmers by 2027. Clean Our Air Charlot Magayi won the prize for cleaning the air. After her daughter was burned by a charcoal-burning stove, Ms. Magayi developed a safer, cleaner stove, called the Mukuru Clean Stove. Ms. Magayi’s stoves use a different fuel that’s cheaper and pollutes far less than charcoal stoves. Currently. over 200, 000 Mukuru Clean Stoves are being used in Kenya. In three years, Ms. Magayi hopes to increase that number to 1 million.
Revive Our Oceans
The Revive Our Oceans prize was won by the Queensland Indigenous Women Rangers Network (QIWRN). Over the last four years, QIWRN has trained 60 indigenous women to help protect the environment.

22、Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
True intelligence
Taking charge of yourself involves putting to rest some very prevalent myths. At the top of the list is the notion that intelligence is measured by your ability to solve complex problems, to read, write and compute at certain levels, and to resolve abstract equations quickly. 【1】It encourages a kind of intellectual prejudice that has brought with it some discouraging results. We have come to believe that someone who has more educational merit badges, who is very good at some form of school discipline is "intelligent". Yet mental hospitals are filled with patients who have all of the properly lettered certificates. A truer indicator of intelligence is an effective, happy life lived each day and each present moment of every day. 【2】
Problem solving is a useful help to your happiness, but if you know that given your inability to resolve a particular concern you can still choose happiness for yourself, or at a minimum refuse to choose unhappiness, then you are intelligent. You are intelligent because you have the ultimate weapon against the big N. B.D. --Nervous Break Down.
"Intelligent" people do not have N. B. D. because they are in charge of themselves. 【3】
You can begin to think of yourself as truly intelligent on the basis of how you choose to feel in the face of trying circumstances. The life struggles are pretty much the same for each of us. Everyone who is involved with other human beings in any social context has similar difficulties. Disagreements, conflicts and compromises are a part of what it means to be human. 【4】But some people are able to make it, to avoid immobilizing depression and unhappiness despite such occurrences, while others collapse or have an N, B. D. Those who recognize problems as a human condition and don't measure happiness by an absence of problems are the most intelligent kind of humans we know; also, the most rare.
A．Holding a university degree indicates one’s ability to write properly worded documents.
B．If you are happy, if you live each moment for everything it’s worth, then you are an intelligent person.
C．N.B.D refers to an illness that causes a person to suffer from anxiety and to have difficulty living and working as usual.
D．Similarly, money, growing old, sickness, deaths, natural disasters and accidents are all events which present problems to virtually all human beings.
E．They know how to choose happiness over depression, because they know how to deal with the problems of their lives.
F．This vision of intelligence asserts formal education and bookish excellence as the true measures of self-fulfillment.
23、 Beatrice Finkelstein, as chief of the Food Technology Section of the Life Support Systems Laboratory at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, bore responsibility for managing the nutritional needs of the astronauts. Her work in the field of space feeding was important in developing the equipment and techniques used in early space flight. Few, if any, female contributors played as important a role as she did during the early years of the U. S. crewed space program, and she deserves to be better remembered.
Finkelstein’s value to America’s space tasks went well beyond her technical contributions. She was frequently described in the popular press at the time as “the Nutritionist to the Astronauts”, as well as the proprietor or of “Bea’s Diner”, a restaurant designed to appeal to the public as a very friendly place.
In her role as nutritionist for the early space program, Finkelstein grew to know the astronauts well, as she communicated with them frequently. At times, she would step beyond her formal role as nutritionist, providing emotional and psychological support to the astronauts. On many occasions, she was one of the last people the astronauts communicated with before launch (发射), and there’s a lot of evidence that shows her friendship was a source of comfort during the stressful pre-launch activities.
The image of nutritionist Beatrice Finkelstein showed that the agencies that insured NASA’s successful space flights were staffed by smart women as well as smart men. Her role in America’s success in conquering space in the technical field of space feeding served as an example of the role women could and did play in the early space program.
【1】Why does Beatrice Finkelstein deserve to be remembered?
A．She was a really great astronaut.
B．Her astronaut team made significant achievements.
C．She bore responsibility for early space flight.
D．Her feeding work was vital in early space flight.
【2】What does the underlined word “proprietor” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Tutor.
B．Editor.
C．Owner.
D．Engineer.
【3】What can we infer about Beatrice Finkelstein from Paragraph 3?
A．She was also a psychologist.
B．She relieved astronauts’ pressure.
C．She communicated with astronauts after launch.
D．She cooked much nutritious food for astronauts.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A．One Special Nutritionist
B．A Great Space Astronaut
C．The First Woman Astronaut
D．The Most Popular Nutritionist
24、With the sudden change to online learning especially within the last couple of years, there have been quite a few problems for students and teachers as well.
【1】 When students are learning from the comfort of their own bedrooms, it can be difficult to feel productive. After 5 minutes of studying, the students may find themselves picking up the phone to look through social media platforms. 【2】
Teachers constantly find students lack(缺乏) the drive to learn something new. When students find no motivation(动机) to learn, study, or focus during the lesson, it can be discouraging for teachers as well.
In a traditional classroom, sometimes teachers would allow 10minute breaks in between the lesson. 【3】 Usually, teachers also arrange pairbased activities that let students work together towards a common goal. This social method is quite important for lifting class morale(士气) and building companionship. The problem with online learning is that teachers generally pay little attention to this factor as they concentrate on delivering the class content only.
The poor Internet connection is another challenge faced by students in online learning. 【4】 This can be annoying for students. They are sometimes forced out of Zoom room because the Internet service is not working well.
Besides technical problems in online learning, teachers sometimes struggle with the class discipline(纪律) in a virtual environment. 【5】 Teachers may feel discouraged when they realize they are explaining something but the students are not following.
So, all the possible solutions should be found to get the best results for the students.
A．It’s difficult for them to keep up with the teacher.
B．Students are generally beyond their teachers’ control.
C．One problem that stands out is poor time management.
D．This often encourages students to interact with one another.
E．Adapting to an online learning environment can be a bit difficult.
F．At the end of the day, they realize that they haven’t studied properly.
G．That’s why we’ll discuss the most common problems of online learning.
