21、With green mountains and wide beaches — as well as ruins (废墟) from the days of the ancient Greeks and Romans — the island nation of Cyprus in the eastern Mediterranean offers a large number of eye-catching places to visit. Here are just a few.

Painted Churches in the Troodos Mountains

The Troodos Mountains, on the southern side of the island, are popular for walker and winter sports fans. But they’re also famous for a group of churches whose inside walls are covered with colorful paintings from as far back as the 11th century. From the outside, the buildings may not look very special, but step inside and almost every stone tells a story of the ancient past.

Ayia Napa

On the east coast, Ayia Napa is the island’s party capital — but that’s not all there is to do. In 2021, the Museum of Underwater Sculpture opened around 200 meters from the beach. Visitors must book with a local diving company in order to see the sculptures, of which there are more than 90. According to artist Jason deCaires Taylor, the idea of the museum is to make people think about the way that humans and nature live together.

Northern Cyprus

The Turkish-speaking northern part of the island — which has called itself an independent state since 1983 — is quieter than the south. But there is lots to see both in the back streets of Girne and Lefkosa — also known as Kyrenia and North Nicosia — as well as the ancient city of Salamis, with its 2,000-year-old outdoor theater.

【1】What are the Troodos Mountains known for?

A．Huge stones.

B．Strange buildings.

C．Ancient churches.

D．Dangerous sports.

【2】What makes the Museum of Underwater Sculpture so special?

A．Its location.

B．Its history.

22、   Reaching the legal age of adulthood is an important milestone in most cultures, and in Japan it is celebrated on Seijin no Hi, Coming of Age Day. It is celebrated on the second Monday in January. Until 1999, it used to be celebrated on January 15th.

The day honors young Japanese who will reach the age of 20 at any point during the year. Twenty is the age of majority in Japan, and people who have reached this age gain the right to vote in elections as well as to drink. Coming of Age ceremonies mark one’s coming of age, which reflects not only the expanded rights, but also increased responsibilities expected of new adults. The ceremonies are generally held in the morning at local city offices throughout Japan. All of the young people who live in the area are invited to attend, government officials give speeches, and small gifts are handed out to the new adults.

Coming of Age Day remains a popular holiday, but Japan’s reduction in population growth in recent years means that fewer people are turning 20 — only 1.24 million in 2013, compared to almost double that at the start of the 1970s.

Women celebrate the day by wearing special kimonos (和服) whose sleeves are long, as compared to the kimono with shorter sleeve portions worn by mature, married women. Some women will also wear baggy pants.

Most young women cannot put on a kimono themselves, and have to go to a kimono kitsuke, who dresses them. They also go to a hairdresser’s to have their hair done the day before or early in the morning. Many women rent their kimonos because of the high cost of buying one.

Most young men wear business suits, although sometimes men wearing dark-colored kimonos can be seen. Certainly, it is a much less expensive day for the young men than for the women.

Coming of Age Day has been a holiday since 1948. The modern legal age of 20 as adulthood was fixed in 1876. Coming of Age ceremonies are a tradition that exists earlier than this by some distance, but the age of becoming an adult was traditionally much younger 一 15 for boys and 13 for girls.

【1】Coming of Age Day ________.

A．is celebrated on January 15th nowadays

B．is an important milestone in every country

C．honors young Japanese who will reach the age of twenty

D．was celebrated on the second Monday in January before 1999

【2】New adults who participate in Coming of Age ceremonies will ________.

A．have some expanded rights as well as increased responsibilities

B．hand out some small gifts to their parents

C．give speeches in a public place

D．be gathered by the local government in the afternoon

【3】What can be inferred about Coming of Age Day from the passage?

A．Most young people wear their leisure clothes at the ceremony.

B．It is a less expensive day for young women than men.

C．All young men are required to wear business suits at the ceremony.

D．The number of attendees of the ceremonies has declined in recent years.

【4】Why do many young women rent their kimonos?

A．They want to save money to have their hair done.

B．They want to learn how to wear a kimono from a kimono kitsuke.

C．The kimonos are too special to be made by themselves.

D．The special kimonos are too expensive to buy.

23、People have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behaviors are formed. It’s not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not, or why one is cooperative and another is competitive.

Social scientists are, of course, extremely interested in these types of questions. They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviors. There are no clear answers yet, but two distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed. As one might expect the two approaches are very different from one another, and there is a great deal of debate between proponents of each theory. The controversy is often (conveniently) referred to as “nature/nurture”.

Those who support the “nature” side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are largely determined by biological and genetic factors. That our environment has little, if anything, to do with our abilities, characteristics, and behavior is central to this theory. Taken to an extreme, this theory maintains that our behavior is predetermined to such a great degree that we are almost completely governed by our Instincts.

Proponents of the “nurture” theory, or, as they are often called behaviorists, claim that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act. Behaviorists see humans as being whose behavior is almost completely shaped by their surroundings. Their view of the human being is quite mechanistic; they maintain that like machines, humans respond to environmental stimuli as the basis of their behavior.

The social and political implications of these two theories are profound. In the United States, for example, blacks often score below whites on standardized intelligence test. This leads some “nature” proponents to conclude that blacks are genetically inferior to whites. Behaviorists, in contrast, say that the differences in scores are due to the fact that blacks are often deprived of many of the educational and other environmental advantages that white enjoy, and that, as a result, they do not develop the same responses that whites do.

Neither of these theories can yet fully explain human behavior. In fact, it is quite likely that the key to our behavior lies somewhere between these two extremes. That the controversy will continue for a long time is certain.

【1】The author is mainly concerned about solving the problem ________.

A．why one’s behaviors differ from others’

B．what makes different stages of intelligence

C．how social scientists form different theories

D．what causes the “nature/nurture” controversy

【2】The word “proponents” can best be replaced by ________.

A．approaches

B．advocates

C．principles

D．characters

【3】What can we learn about the behaviorists?

A．They believe human beings are mechanical.

B．They compare our behaviors to the machines.

C．They suggest that we react to the environment as the machines do.

D．They uphold that the mechanistic theory can be applied on us as well.

【4】The “nature” theorists believe that the blacks’ low scores ________.

A．are the result of the educational disadvantages

B．have nothing to do with their true intelligence

C．are an indication of the blacks’ poor intelligence

D．have nothing to do with factors other than instincts

26、阅读下面材料，根据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。

Long ago there was a king who had twin sons. There was some confusion about which one was born first. As they grew up, the king found a fair way to decide one of them as crown (皇冠) prince.

Calling them together, he said seriously, “My sons, the day will come when one of you must be the future king. The burdens (负担) of being a king are very heavy. To find out which of you is better able to bear (承担) them cheerfully, I am sending you together to a far corner of the kingdom. One of my advisors there will place equal burdens on your shoulders (肩膀). My crown will one day go to the one who returns first bearing his burden like a king should.”

In a spirit of the friendly competition, the brothers set out together. Soon they met a weak and old woman struggling under a heavy weight. One of the boys suggested that they stop to help her. The other protested: “We have a burden of our own to worry about. Let us be on our way.”

So the second son hurried on while the other stayed behind to help the woman with her load. On his journey to the kingdom, the same young man found others who needed help. A blind man who needed help to get home; a lost child whom he carried back to her worried parents; a farmer whose wagon (马车) needed a strong shoulder to push it out of the mud.

Eventually he did reach his father’s advisor. There he gained his own burden and started home with it safely on his shoulders.
