22、What is the longest word in the English language? It would be truly shocking if you were trying to type the longest word, as it isn’t really a word anyone uses at all. The word is: pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. According to Merriam-Webster, the 45-letter word is created to mean a disease occurring especially in miners.

But here’s the thing: That is not a term anyone—even doctors—use to describe an actual condition. The word was likely made up by Everett K. Smith in the 1930s, when he was president of the National Puzzler’s League, a group that loved crosswords and, by extension, words themselves. Smith intended to create the longest word by mimicking (模仿) medical terms，even if there wasn’t actually a disease to attach the word to. He just kind of made up the entire thing for fun.

Here are some other examples. Some record-setting English words are the longest in a particular aspect. “Uncopyrightable,” which refers to any work that cannot be copyrighted, is the longest word in English without any repeating letters. Words like this are called “isograms.” Then there’s the longest word made of only vowels (元音) “euouae”，a term that comes from music of the Middle Ages. On the other hand，you have the longest word without any vowels, “tsktsk”. It’s an onomatopoeia (拟声) for the sound you make when someone disappoints you.

Finally, you know there’s got to be a word to describe someone who makes a habit of using long words. Surprisingly, it’s only kind of long itself: “sesquipedalian”.

【1】What do we know about the longest English word according to paragraph 1?

A．It is popular in English.

B．It is used only by miners.

C．It is convenient to type.

D．It is taken in by a dictionary.

【2】What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us?

A．The meaning of the longest word.

B．The person of making up the word.

C．The creation of the longest word.

D．The disease concerning the word.

【3】What is the common characteristic of the longest words mentioned in the text?

A．They use the maximum vowels.

B．They convey particular emotions.

C．They are coined by tradition.

D．They are created for pleasure.

【4】Where is the text probably taken from?

A．A magazine.

B．A guidebook.

C．A travel brochure.

D．A news report.

23、National Space Center, Leicester

An interactive museum of super-size space experiences: from a giant planet Earth you can touch to the UK’s biggest domed planetarium (穹顶天文台) and a 42-meter rocket tower. You can’t miss the latter as you drive into Leicester—the structure looks like it’s wrapped in giant inflatable pillows. Inside, it houses Blue Streak and Thor Able rockets. Take in the full scale of them by riding a glass-sided lift up to the viewing platform. Elsewhere, there are six galleries with plenty of buttons to press and screens to touch. It’s all under cover so it’s a good place to visit on a rainy day!

Parking is ￡3 for the day.

Value for money

It’s not cheap- adult: ￡15, 5 to 16-year-olds: ￡12, but once you’ve paid you can revisit as many times as you want in a year, and admission is free for kids under five.

24、In this article, we want to present why nature conservation and the promotion of sustainable development principles are important.

Environmental protection prevents natural disasters. Nature struggles for balance. This is how forests absorb CO2, grow and change it into oxygen. This provides an opportunity for life and also slows down climate change. The destruction of forests greatly changes the climate of entire regions, or even causes powerful floods. 【1】

Environmental protection stimulates research and technological innovation. The idea for the first flying machine was inspired by bird observation. The rainforest is the richest source of many medicines. Almost every animal and plant has its own technical secrets. 【2】 With the disappearance of ecosystems and wildlife species, the base for scientific research and technical improvement is nowhere to find.

Protecting the environment is protecting people. The loss of natural resources leads to economic crises, wars or diseases. 【3】 For example, the reduction of the population of bees will affect not only the production of honey, but also the whole food production system. No bees — no honey, no fruit, very few vegetables. This leads to hunger, disease, migration and war.

【4】 We meet with like-minded people. Any local success — the rescue of an endangered population for reserves — becomes a cause for global joy and inspires more participation.

We humans are part of nature and its cycles ourselves. Our impact on ecosystems has noticeable influence on our daily lives. But it can be predicted and avoided if you think with your head and act carefully. 【5】 Even small deeds can improve the state of nature and our life on the planet.

A．People spy on them and copy.

B．We are strongly dependent on it.

C．Respect for ecosystems helps to avoid such troubles.

D．And positive change can be promoted in the same way.

E．Taking part in environmental protection is a source of joy.

F．We consume the world’s natural resources in our daily life.

G．Even small changes in the ecosystem can cause huge disasters.

25、I am a patrolman (巡逻警察), sent to check on the family. The young woman sat________at one of the back tables of a small restaurant on a highway where truck________stopped. Two girls, perhaps four and five years old, watched their mother________.

A flash of fear crossed the older child’s eyes as I ________ her. “Daddy left us,” she said. “He________put our stuff out of the car while we were in the bathroom.”

26、We often hear people complain about lack of opportunity. In fact, this world does not lack opportunity. But it does make a difference if we are able to grasp it.

For example, let’s suppose that Harvard University is recruiting(招收) students in China, and the requirement is that students must score above 640 for the Test of English as a Foreign Language(TOEFL) and 2,200 for the Graduate Record Examination(GRE) for admission to the university. Have you scored those scores? If you haven’t, you may feel regret, “I would have worked harder if I had known the requirements.”

When opportunity knocks, make sure your door isn’t locked. An able man will find opportunity everywhere, while a weak one will be left with only one opportunity, and that is to complain of having to prove what he is worth in this world.
