At the beginning of 2021, I set myself the target of reading a book from every country in a year to find out what I was missing.
So I created a blog called “A Year of Reading the World” and put out an appeal for suggestions of titles that I could read in English.
The response was amazing. Before I knew it, people all over the planet were getting in touch with ideas and offers of help. Some posted me books from their home countries. Others did hours of research on my behalf. In addition, several writers, like Panama’s Juan David Morgan, sent me unpublished translations of their novels, giving me a rare opportunity to read works otherwise unavailable to the 62 percent of Britons who only speak English. Even with such an extraordinary team of bibliophiles (藏书家) behind me, however, sourcing books was no easy task.
This was particularly true for Portuguese-speaking African countries. There’s precious little on offer for states such as the Comoros, Madagascar and Mozambique — I had to rely on unpublished manuscripts（手抄本） for several of these.
Then there were places where stories are rarely written down. If you’re after a good story in the Marshall Islands, for example, you're more likely to go and hear one of the local storytellers than you are to pick up a book.
All in all, hunting for stories like these took as much time as the reading. It was a tall order to fit it all in around work and many were the nights when I sat bleary-eyed（睡眼惺忪） into the small hours to make sure I stuck to my target of reading one book every 1.87 days.
But the effort was worth it. As I made my way through the planet’s literary landscapes, extraordinary things started to happen. Far from simply armchair traveling, I found I was living in the mental space of the storytellers. It took me inside the thoughts of individuals living far away and showed me the world through their eyes. These stories not only opened my mind to the detailed and practical aspects of life in other places, but opened my heart to the way people there might feel.
24. What can we learn about readers of the blog “A Year of Reading the World”?
A. They should feel free to upload their book reviews.
B. They are welcome to share their storytelling skills.
C. They have to send a list of their favorite books to the author.
D. They are asked to give advice on what book to read about their country.
25. The underlined word “sourcing” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_________”.
A. researching B. reading C. acquiring D. classifying
26. Why is the literature of the Marshall Islands rarely known to the world?
A. Most of its literature is written in Portuguese.
B. The country’s literature is mostly in the form of oral stories
C. Writers there are unwilling to publish their manuscripts.
D. The quality of literature there is very poor.
27.Which of the following would the author probably agree with?
A. She spent far more time searching for books than that she spent reading them.
B. Reading foreign books would spare her the trouble of traveling there.
C. She found the reading target both exhausting and rewarding
D. Book researchers overseas made no difference to her target
C
We all need to eat, and when we go to buy food at the supermarket, we have so many choices in the range of items available that can be turned into a delicious meal. But we often purchase food that’s been mass-produced and that’s travelled many miles before it ends up on our plate. So for some, growing their own food is a better option—and it tastes good too!
From growing vegetables in little pots on your balcony to tending to a small plot of land, called allotments, there are many ways to produce home-grown food. Allotments are a typically British idea, and they give people who have a small or no garden a space to plant and grow fruit and vegetables. It can be backbreaking work digging, weeding and watering the soil, but the result is fresh, organically grown produce, contributing to our diet.
The recent COVID-19 pandemic lockdown means demand for allotments has seen a renaissance (复兴). Miriam Dobson from the University of Sheffield told the BBC that people with allotments have been spending a lot of their time on their plots, growing plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, which, at times, have been challenging to source in supermarkets. She says, “Coronavirus has highlighted to people the weakness within our globalized food system. In a time of crisis, interest in self-supply rises.”
For those with limited space, a solution to growing your own vegetables lies closer to home-using pots. Once you can lay your hands on some compost (堆肥), you can plant seeds. As well as the benefits of saving money and enjoying tasty food, gardener Mark Ridsdill-Smith says, “growing your own food from a balcony not only improves your well-being and immediate environment, you can actually grow a lot of vegetables”. So, it’s time for us all to get planting and develop our green fingers!
28. What does the author think of allotments?
A. Rewarding. B. Challenging. C. Amusing. D. Relaxing.
29. What can we infer from paragraph 3?
A. Demand for allotments has declined during COVID-19 outbreak.
B. The strength of globalized food system is undervalued.
C. People tend to supply themselves at special periods.
D. Fresh fruit and vegetables are impossible to get in a time of crisis.
30. What is the purpose of the last paragraph of the passage?
A. To encourage more people to grow their own food.
B. To present the strengths and weaknesses of allotments.
C. To raise people’s concern for environment.
D. To show the optional locations for allotments.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Doing Our Share in Crisis
B. Supplying Ourselves with Allotments
C. Making Fortunes by Producing Home-grown Food
D. Finding Our Own Ways to Plant Food
D
People think that smartphones and laptops are evidence of progress. A certain amount of online searching, for instance, can be good for your brain, and there are apps that can promote brain functions. Yet technology advancements also come with some unintended consequences.
Studies have shown that blue-enriched light from electronic things like smartphones can disturb the body’s internal clock and make it impossible for you to stick to a proper sleep schedule. Losing sleep has negative effects on your brain, such as bad moods, decreased attention and problems of memory.
Technology makes it much easier to get distracted. For example, you step away from an important project to check your smartphone. Teens, in particular, are more distracted than ever. A recent survey of 2,400 teachers found that most educators feel students are more distracted than previous generations. Some 64 percent agreed with the idea that today’s digital technology does more to distract students than to help them academically.
And technology makes people much more forgetful than they used to be. The new generation are actually more likely to forget what day it is or where they put their keys than people over the age of 55, according to a Trending Machine survey. In a press about the survey, Jo Patricia, a doctor, said technology was to blame. “This is a generation that has grown up multitasking by using technology and is often accompanied by lack of sleep, which results in high levels of forgetfulness,” she said.
People who rely on GPS to get around have less activity in the hippocampus, an area of the brain involved in both memory and direction. A study from the University of London even found that taxi drivers had a more developed hippocampus than non-taxi drivers — because they are so accustomed to using spatial (空间的) memory, rather than relying on GPS.
Now that you’re probably terrified of the effects of technology, let us remind you that you do have the power to prevent it. Just log off every once in a while!
32. How does technology affect students according to teachers?
A. It upsets the new generation. B. It makes students more forgetful.
C. It takes the students’ attention away. D. It fails to aid students with their lessons.
33. What is Jo Patricia’s attitude towards technology?
A. Negative. B. Objective. C. Optimistic. D. Conservative.
34. Why do taxi drivers have a more developed hippocampus?
A. Because they mainly rely on GPS.
B. Because they do more mental exercise.
C. Because they use spatial memory more.
D. Because they have a better sense of balance.
35. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Surveys conducted in a school. B. Apps used to promote memory.
C. Progress made in electronic products. D. Harmful effects brought by technology.

My dream job
When I was a child, my parents expected me to be a successful person with a well-paid job. However, what I value most is a sense of achievement. Since my childhood, I have dreamed of being a doctor.
The idea occurred to me for the first time when I saw my grandfather suffer from a severe headache. I thought if I were a doctor, I would ease his pain. Then as I grew up, I came across Lin Qiaozhi's story. It was her perseverance and selfless devotion that strengthened my resolve. Why not carry on her career? Undoubtedly, being a qualified doctor is far from easy. I will study hard and make non-stop efforts to pursue my dream and help people in need.

We've seen extreme weather events that are caused by a rise in global temperature. We've only got a decade or two before we're past the point of no return. AI is another challenge.
