21、Bread making is a survival skill. With very few simple things—such as flour, salt and yeast—you can bake a fresh loaf of bread for your family, neighbors or coworkers. Baking is not just a useful survival skill. 【1】 In fact, baking and cooking have been used to treat people with mental health issues.

Julie Ohana, a social worker, offers what she calls culinary therapy to her patients in New York City to help them overcome many kinds of issues. 【2】

Baking requires mindfulness.

When you’re in the kitchen, it really requires a certain level of mindfulness, of being present in the moment. And baking really requires step-by-step, following a recipe, being more precise. Kneading the dough (揉面团) or rolling something out, you really get the full benefit of being present in the moment and being able to relax and put aside all the other thoughts and just focus on the here-and-now.

Baking is a labor of love.

Baking is a process filled with love. 【3】 When you bake, you go through this whole process and it really is a labor of love and you end up with this finished product that—not only is it tangible—but it’s edible and it’s delicious.

【4】

Often our food experiences are tied to family memories and stories. We remember meals our grandmothers made. We teach our children important recipes for family favorites.

Baking is a win-win.

Giving delicious, baked goods makes the giver feel as good as the receiver. To pass the baked goods on to someone else certainly can make the day for the person receiving it. 【5】

A．Baking is rewarding.

B．Baking is emotional.

C．It not only makes you feel good, it produces something you can touch and eat!

D．But it’s also just as powerful for the person who’s giving them.

E．It can make you feel better at stressful times.

F．She explains that culinary therapy works on many levels.

G．And the receiver can benefit a lot from baking.

22、Fritillaria plants can be easily spotted. The usually bright green plants often stand alone amid the rocks at the top of the Himalayan and Hengduan mountains in southwestern China — easy pickings for traditional Chinese medicine herbalists, who’ve ground the bulbs (鳞茎) of Fritillaria into a cough-treating powder for more than 2, 000 years. The demand for the bulbs is intense, since about 3,500 of them are needed to produce one kilogram of the powder, worth about $480.

But some Fritillaria are remarkably difficult to find, with leaves and stems that are barely distinguishable from the gray or brown rocky background. Surprisingly, the plants’ camouflage (伪装) seems to have evolved in response to people.

In wide open areas with little cover, like mountaintops, blending in can help the plants avoid hungry herbivores, says Yang Niu, a botanist at the Kunming Institute of Botany in China. But after five years of studying camouflage in Fritillaria, he did not spot any animals feeding on the plants. So Niu, his colleague Hang Sun and sensory ecologist Martin Stevens of the University of Exeter in England decided to see if humans might be driving the evolution of the plants’ camouflage.

During their research, local herbalists noted the total weight of the bulbs harvested each year from 2014 to 2019 at seven study sites. These records indicated contemporary harvesting pressure on the plants. In the meantime, the researchers assessed the ease of harvesting by recording how long it took to dig up bulbs at six of those sites. On some slopes, bulbs are easily dug up, but in others they can be buried under rocks. Both measures have revealed a striking pattern: The more harvested a site is, the better the color of a plant matches its background.

However, camouflage can present some challenges. Pollinators (花粉传播者) might have a harder time finding the camouflaged plants, and the gray and brown coloration could impair photosynthetic (光合) activity. Still, these Fritillaria show how adaptable the plants can be. The plants can better change their appearance than we might have expected.

【1】What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?

A．The living environment of Fritillaria.

B．The appearance of Fritillaria.

C．The reasons for picking Fritillaria.

D．The history of traditional Chinese medicine.

【2】What do the researchers find during their research?

A．Fritillaria usually exist under rocks.

B．Animals drive Fritillaria to hide themselves better.

C．Frequent human activities make it easier to spot Fritillaria.

D．Fritillaria camouflage themselves better where harvested more often.

【3】Which of the following statements is true according to the last paragraph?

A．All plants are poor at camouflaging.

B．Fritillaria are constantly changing how they look.

C．Camouflage can bring some side-effects to Fritillaria.

D．Fritillaria camouflaged to be gray which can promote growth.

【4】What’s the main idea of this passage?

A．The demand for the Fritillaria is intense.

B．Fritillaria are remarkably difficult to find.

C．Camouflage can present some challenges to the Fritillaria.

D．Human activities drive the evolution of the Fritillaria’s camouflage.

23、   The Hope Diamond is one of the world’s most famous jewels. It was in the possession of a series of people: kings, bankers, rich women and thieves, before its arrival 60 years ago at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.

As a rare blue diamond, it has a complex social history, to be sure. But, far more so is its geological history, researchers say in a new report. This is the first time anyone has come up with a fact-based study or model for how blue diamonds form.

The group looked at 42 blue diamonds, including one from South Africa that recently sold for $25 million in 2016. Researchers could tell where the stones were formed based on the very small minerals trapped inside.

Diamonds are a hard, clear form of pure carbon called a crystal (结晶). They form under extreme heat and pressure. Blue diamonds crystallize alongside water-bearing minerals that long ago were part of the floor of the sea. But these minerals were pushed deeper underground during the movement of the Earth’s plates.

Scientists already knew these diamonds received their blue color from the element boron (硼). The study says that boron had once been in ocean water but was eventually pushed into the seafloor rock. Over millions of years, the boron continued to move deep underground.

Many diamonds appear colorless. Often, however, they have some yellow color. Still others have a light brown, pink or green color. About 99 percent of all diamonds form somewhere between 150 to 200 kilometers underground, a far shallower birthplace than their blue relations. “These diamonds are among the deepest ever found,” Carnegie Institution for Science geochemist Steven Shirey said of the blue diamonds.

The public can see the Hope Diamond at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C.

【1】By saying the underlined part in Paragraph 2, the researchers mean the blue diamond ________.

A.was formed in extreme weather

B.has a very complex forming history

C.has a far-reaching influence in society

D.used to be very popular among rich people

【2】How could researchers know the blue diamonds’ birthplaces?

A.By observing their colors.

B.By studying their structures.

C.By referring to where they were found.

D.By examining tiny substances in them.

【3】What makes the diamonds appear blue?

A.The water. B.Extreme heat and pressure.

C.A special matter. D.The seafloor rock.

【4】What is special about blue diamonds compared with diamonds of other colors?

A.They contain several colors.

B.They form in much deeper underground.

C.They come into being in a different way.

D.They are found near the earth’s surface.

【5】What is the passage mainly about?

A.The social status of the Hope Diamond.

B.The discovery of the Hope Diamond.

C.The formation of the blue diamond.

D.The diversity of diamonds.

24、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.

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 little, I lived in a house with a beautiful garden full of all kinds of flowers, and roses were the most beautiful of them. There was nothing I enjoyed more than sitting in the garden with my mother as she read stories to me. When I was in primary school and old enough to read, I enjoyed reading stories aloud to her.

I will never forget one day when I was in the third grade. I had been picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had rehearsed my lines so hard with me. But no matter how easily I acted at home, as soon as I stepped onstage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside. She explained that she had written a narrator’s part to the play, and asked me to change roles. Her word, kindly expressed, still hurt, especially when I saw my part go to another girl.

I didn’t tell my mother what had happened when I went home after school that day. But she sensed my pain. Instead of suggesting we practice my lines, she asked if I wanted to take a walk in the garden.

It was May and roses were blossoming and, under the trees, we could also see yellow dandelions in the grass, as if a painter had painted our garden with red, yellow and green. I watched my mother casually bend down by one dandelion. “I think I’m going to dig up all these weeds,” she said, pulling it up by its roots. “From now on, we’ll have only roses in this garden.”

“But I like dandelions,” I protested. “All flowers are beautiful — even dandelions.”

My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower is beautiful in its own way, isn’t it?” She asked thoughtfully. I nodded, pleased that I had won her over. “And that is true of people too,” she added. “Not everyone can be a princess, but there is no shame in that.” Relieved that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry as I told her what had happened. She listened and smiled reassuringly.

“But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said,
