Actually, there are ___30___ apologies, which are tools of dodges (搪塞).

Generally, over apologizing ___32___ to happen when there’s a lack of ___33___ in your position, which will make others ___34___ you or even get unhappy. So we need to use apologies ___35___ and our attitude must be sincere. Refusing to apologize is a big mistake, and so is over apologizing.

If Natalie Morales had to describe her mom in just one word, she would pick: survivor. That’s because her mom, Penelope Morales had a tough childhood. “Her mother wasn’t ready to be a mom and gave her up to her grandmother,” says Natalie, “I think she often felt in life like she wasn’t wanted and wasn’t loved.”
Penelope Morales put herself through college and it was there that she met Natalie’s dad, who was serving in the military. They fell in love and married, and her life as a military mom of three children became a great adventure. “She basically raised us moving from place to place. I was born in Taiwan, China, but we lived in Panama, Brazil and Spain. And my mom was the constant,” says Natalie, “She would always make sure that when we got home from school, we felt like we had our number-one fan, our champion right there, waiting for us.” Along the way, Natalie learned many things from her mother, which she carries on in her role as a mother of two sons.
As a Mother’s Day gift, Natalie treated her mom to a day of pampering (宠爱). “I want my mom to feel like a queen,” she says. And as part of the surprise, Natalie brought along an old photo of her mother, which she wanted to recreate. “I think it was taken in the mid-60s. So she was in her early to mid twenties. She’s just absolutely a beautiful woman. But she’s looking in the mirror. It’s like not knowing really her future, but knowing where she’s come from,” describes Natalie. “That picture just speaks so much to me. I want her to see what she created in that mirror, and that she gave us all something so great.”
“It’s just an amazing experience to take this picture and have Natalie do it. I could never imagine in my entire life,” says Penelope Morales, who adds that she’s very proud of her daughter, “All I want her is to be happy and to raise her children the same way,” she says.
41. What can be inferred about Natalie’s mother?
A. She survived an adventure fortunately.
B. Her mother gave her up because of poverty.
C. At college she met her husband, a schoolmate.
D. Her mother felt that she was nothing.
42 What did Natalie learn from her mother?
A. Giving children great love.
B. Moving house constantly.
C. Always picking up children from school.
D. Often taking children on adventures.
43. What did Natalie do on Mother’s Day?
A. She treated her mother to a big meal.
B. She took her mother to take pictures.
C. She pleased her mother by polishing an old photo.
D. She gave her mother a big surprise with her sons.
44. What can we say about the gift Natalie gave her mother?
A. It was expected.
B. It was a success.
C It made her mother dependent on her.
D. It brought tears to her mother’s eyes.
45. What does the author mainly want to tell us in the passage?
A. Natalie loves and respects her mother very much.

Canaries, a kind of small yellow songbirds, are more sensitive to carbon monoxide (CO) than people are. Thus they were routinely taken into mines as men went about their work of mining for coal. CO could quickly poison many miners before they even knew what was happening. If a canary stopped singing, this was an indicator of rising CO levels. Now ecologists think they’ve found a “canary” that could predict possible disaster for tropical (热带的) ecosystems—the cricket (a small brown jumping insect).
Crickets are tiny, present in large numbers and, most importantly, noisy. The chirps (唧唧叫声) of individual species are identifiably different. Researchers had previously wondered if ecosystems might be monitored by listening to how the sounds of their crickets change over time.
Amandine Gasc and her colleagues studied cricket populations on Grande Terre Island in New Caledonia, where multiple ecosystems often exist very near to each other. They collected crickets at 12 sampling sites. Four were healthy forest sites, four were shrubland (灌木地) areas, which is often created when people cut down forests, and four were shrubland areas that were turning into forests again. They listened for insects in square zones and ran ten 30-minute collection sessions at each site.
Dr. Gasc described how each ecosystem had, in effect, a distinct “cricket fingerprint”. Species richness varies considerably among the different environments. Of the 20 cricket species found in the healthy forest, 12 were unique to that habitat alone, 2 of the 15 species found in transitioning forests were unique to this habitat and 3 of the 7 shrubland species were unique to shrubland.
Just by looking at the crickets found in a given location, the team found that it was possible to determine whether they were looking at shrubland, forest or shrubland that was changing into the forest. There was no need to examine the other surrounding plants or animals.
What’s more, Dr. Gasc’s team found each habitat contained cricket species that generated their identifiable chirps. This suggests that setting up audio recorders in forests that pick up cricket calls will be an easy, cheap and accurate way to detect the early stages of change in tropical ecosystems.
46. Why did miners take the canary into mines?
A. To bring down CO levels.
B. To promote their work efficiency.
C. To offer them some entertainment.
D. To remind them of the potential danger.
47. How did Dr. Gasc and her colleagues carry out their study?
A. By analyzing “cricket fingerprints”.
B. By comparing plants in different zones.
C. By observing the changes in landscapes.
D. By referring to previous findings on crickets.
48. What conclusion may Dr. Gasc and her colleagues draw from their study?
A. Healthy forests may attract fitter crickets.
B. Crickets are suitable to be indicators in mines.
C. Different species of crickets may sound different alarms.
D. The species of crickets are strongly related to the environment.
49. What’s the point of Dr. Gasc’s studying crickets?
A. To enrich the methods of monitoring the crickets.
B. To arouse people’s awareness of protecting crickets.
C. To correct the previous wrong recognition of crickets.
D. To help humans easily monitor environmental changes.
50. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Canaries: miners’ good helpers.
B. How crickets are distributed in tropical areas.
C. Crickets: an early indicator of tropical ecosystem health.
D. Why cricket chirps are collected on Grande Terre Island.

Reading is a complex and crucial skill that impacts the youth’s ability to perform as students. Therefore, it’s important to develop reading skills during childhood. A team of researchers focused on the effect of whole-body learning in instruction, known as embodied learning.
The research included 149 children, aged 5 to 6, who had just started school. They were divided into three groups: one that stood up and used their whole bodies to shape letter sounds; a seated group that shaped letter sounds with their hands and arms; and a control group that received traditional, seated instruction during which they wrote letters by hand.
“Our research showed that children who used their whole bodies to shape the sounds of letters became twice as proficient at letter sounds that are more difficult to learn as those who received traditional instruction” says PhD student Linn Damsgaard of UCPH’s Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sports.
With regard to difficult letter sounds, she adds, “There are many difficult letter sounds in Danish. These sounds are particularly important because once children become skilled at them, they will be better readers.
Associate professor Jacob Wienecke, who led the study, explains, the primary goal is to learn more about which methods can be used to give beginner readers a good start. The idea is that if, through play and movement, we can learn where their strengths truly lie, we’ll create a form of learning that combines reading with play, and that’s truly positive.”
Previously, the researchers showed that the children felt more motivated by teaching methods which included physical movement. Jacob Wienecke hopes this will provide an opportunity to inspire teachers and school managers to prioritize movement across subjects.
The study also investigated whether a direct effect of embodied learning could be found on children’s reading of words. This was not possible, which might be due to the fact that the children were at such an early stage of their literacy development that they could not yet use their knowledge of letter sounds to read words.
51. What were the participants required to do in the study?
A. To pick out difficult letter sounds in Danish.
B. To learn new letters through repeated writing.
C. To learn letter sounds using different approaches.
D. To memorize some letter sounds as soon as possible.
52. How can embodied learning get children actively involved?
A. By combining learning with games.
B. By offering them chances to cooperate.
C. By inspiring them to overcome difficulties.
D. By explaining instructions to them patiently.
53. What does the underlined word “proficient” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. terrible. B. skilled.
C. delighted. D. fascinated.
54. What does Jacob expect of the research finding?
A. Encouraging educators to apply it to teaching.
B. Enabling researchers to carry out further studies.
C. Urging schools to pay attention to physical exercise.
D. Promoting harmonious teacher-student relationships.
55. What does the last paragraph intend to tell us?
A. Children prefer learning step by step.
B. Children are too little to use their knowledge smartly.
C. Children lack enough practice to get fully improved.
D. Children’s learning still relies on adults’ instruction.
【答案】51. C 52. A 53. B 54. A 55. B

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了全身学习，又称为体验式学习可以有助于培养孩子阅读技能。文章介绍了与之相关的研究过程和发现。
【51题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The research included 149 children, aged 5 to 6, who had just started school. They were divided into three groups: one that stood up and used their whole bodies to shape letter sounds; a seated group that shaped letter sounds with their hands and arms; and a control group that received traditional, seated instruction during which they wrote letters by hand.(这项研究包括149名5至6岁的儿童，他们刚刚开始上学。他们被分为三组：一组站起来，用全身来塑造字母的发音；一组坐着的人，用他们的手和手臂塑造字母的发音；对照组接受传统的坐姿指导，在此期间他们用手写信)”可知，参与者在研究中被要求用不同的方法学习字母的读音。故选C。
【52题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“The idea is that if, through play and movement, we can learn where their strengths truly lie, we’ll create a form of learning that combines reading with play, and that’s truly positive.(我们的想法是，如果通过游戏和运动，我们可以了解他们真正的优势所在，我们将创造一种将阅读与游戏结合起来的学习形式，这是真正积极的)”可知，体验式学习通过将学习与游戏相结合让孩子积极参与。故选A。
【53题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段““Our research showed that children who used their whole bodies to shape the sounds of letters became twice as proficient at letter sounds that are more difficult to learn as those who received traditional instruction(“我们的研究表明，与接受传统教学的孩子相比，用身体来记住字母发音的孩子对更难学习的字母发音的proficient是他们的两倍)”可知，该研究是将用身体来记忆字母发音与传统学习方式相比较。根据倒数第二段“Previously, the researchers showed that the children felt more motivated by teaching methods which included physical movement.”（此前，研究人员发现，包括身体运动在内的教学方法能让孩子们更有动力）可知，用身体运动学习语言会让孩子们更有动力。由此猜测，用身体来记住字母发音的孩子对更难学习的字母发音掌握的更好，即更熟练。由此可知划线词意为“熟练的”，与skilled同义。故选B。
【54题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Jacob Wienecke hopes this will provide an opportunity to inspire teachers and school managers to prioritize movement across subjects.(雅各布·维内克希望这将提供一个机会，激励教师和学校管理者优先考虑跨学科教学)”可知，雅各布期望研究发现可以鼓励教育工作者将其应用于教学。故选A。
【55题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The study also investigated whether a direct effect of embodied learning could be found on children’s reading of individual words. This was not possible, which might be due to the fact that the children were at such an early stage of their literacy development that they could not yet use their knowledge of letter sounds to read words.(该研究还调查了体现学习是否会对儿童阅读个别单词产生直接影响。这是不可能的，这可能是因为孩子们还处于读写能力发展的早期阶段，他们还不能使用他们的字母发音知识来阅读单词)”可知，最后一段想告诉我们孩子太小了，还不能聪明地运用他们的知识。故选B。

阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
In 2019, the state of California was on fire. Alexandria Villaseor, who was 13 at the time, witnessed the destruction of Northern California’s Camp Fire, which would go on to burn more than 150,000 acres of land. Villaseor was scared. “That’s when I found out how important climate education was,” she reflected. “And just how much we lacked climate education these past couple of years.”
Villaseor, at the age of 15, was determined to have a bigger conversation. She quickly realized the fight requires international, government-level changes. For her, what started as local concern turned into a year-long protest in front of the United Nations’ New York City headquarters and a global campaign for more compulsory climate education. She sat on a bench in front of the headquarters, begging for the world’s leaders to take climate change seriously.
Her action received national attention, with millions of other students around the world joining in the movement. “It’s completely unacceptable not to learn anything about our planet and our environment in school, after all the young people would inherit the Earth.” Villaseor said, “That’s why I think that climate education is so important, and that’s why I focus a lot on it now.”
Right now, Villaseor is working with the American Administration on its climate plan, which has promised to center on the needs of young people and communities most impacted by climate change. She even spoke at the 2021 Democratic National Convention. “This was definitely a huge moment when I realized that people were listening to the voices of me and youth climate activists.” Villaseor said.
When she isn’t connecting with her fellow youth activists, Villaseor is like most other teens. “My favorite thing to do, of course, is sleep,” she said, “I like to read a lot. I like fantasy books, normally. I also like to write.”
56. What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us? (no more than 10 words)
___________________________________________________
57. How did Villaseor make the world’s leaders attach importance to climate education? (no more than 15 words)
