Sh
38、e 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
39、the headquarters, pleading(恳求) for the worlds leaders to take climate change seriously. Her action received national attention, with millions of other students around the world joining in the movement. “Its completely unacceptable to not learn anything about our planet and our environment in school,
40、 after all the young people would “inherit” the Earth.” Villaseor said, “Thats why I think that climate education is so important, and thats why I focus a lot on it now.”Right now, Villaseor is working with the Biden-Harris administration on its climate plan, which has promised to center the needs o

Young activists make their voices heard.CPandas are not only a national treasure, but are loved around the world. Recently, a giant panda cub born in August a
48、t the Smithsonians National Zoo, US, was given the name Xiao Qi Ji, which is translated into English as “little miracle”. The choice was the result of a five-day online vote that drew nearly 135,000 voters in the US. Interestingly, National Public Radio said that in a nod to Chinese tradition, the n
49、ame was not chosen until 100 days after the birth. This cubs birth proved to be quite inspiring and at a time when inspiration was truly needed. “ Xiao Qi Jis birth is a true miracle that has been so uplifting to all of us during the pandemic (疫情) , ” Chinese Ambassador to the US Cui Tiankai said in
50、 a video congratulatory message. “ We are connected again in the growth of our little ambassador, and in our shared joy and friendship.” The furry black-and-white animals have played an important role in the countrys diplomacy, known as “ panda diplomacy (外交)”. According to the Japanese Royal Annual
51、, the practice dates back to the Tang Dynasty, when Empress Wu Zetian sent a pair of pandas to the Japanese emperor. China revived panda diplomacy in the 1950s when China sent two pandas to the Moscow Zoo. By 1982, China had given 23 pandas to nine different countries. However, most of them have die
52、d. China stopped giving away pandas in the early 1980s. Instead, the animals are loaned to other countries. In general, they are to be returned to China after 10 years. But why do these cute “diplomats” find it hard to survive in other countries? According to Xinhua, their dietary habit is one signi
53、ficant reason. Their nutrition mostly comes from bamboo shoots. Adult giant pandas consume about 40 kilograms of bamboo daily. Pandas can also be quite picky. They refuse to eat bamboo shoots after they have blossomed. It takes 10 years for a new crop of bamboo to mature, and many countries do not h
54、ave an environment suitable for bamboo growth. This means that food has to be imported. In August, Calgary Zoo in Canada announced that due to pandemic-related changes in its import laws and quarantine methods, they couldnt provide enough fresh bamboo for pandas. This meant that they had to send two
55、 giant pandas back to China. But countries are still trying their best to facilitate this special type of diplomacy. “We dont own the pandas, but the whole world wants to help save the panda, and we do that through our knowledge exchange,” Steven Monfort, director of the Smithsonians National Zoo, t
56、old China Daily.61. The expression “in a nod to” in Para. 2 is closest in meaning to _. A. in praise forB. in response toC. in favor ofD. in order to observe62. Why China decided that pandas are only loaned to other countries?A. Because the pandas dietary habit was significantly changed abroad.B. Be
57、cause the pandas couldnt have bamboo to eat in other countries.C. Because most of pandas could not be adapted to the climate abroad.D. Because most of the pandas sent to other countries couldnt survive.63. What can we learn from the text?A. It was the first time that China had sent a panda to Japan.
58、B. The practice “panda diplomacy” dates from the Tang Dynasty.C. China began panda diplomacy, sending two pandas to Moscow Zoo.D. Two giant pandas had to be returned because they were sick in Canada. 64. What Steven Monforts attitude towards the special type of diplomacy?A. Encouraging.B. Uncaring.C
59、. Disapproving.D. Doubtful.65. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To tell us how to feed pandas properly.B. To call on people to love pandas in the world.C. To introduce the furry black and white ambassador.D. To explain why “panda diplomacy” is stopped.DWhen I was 17 years old I had surgery beca
60、use of a disease. The day after the surgery, I awoke to find a friend of mine sitting in a chair across from my bed. I dont remember much about his visit. But I will not forget that he visited me on that day, and sat there for I dont know how long, while I was under the influence of a morphine drip
61、(输液). We benefit greatly from our close friendships, but they are not a matter of calculable gain or loss.Our age, what we might call the age of economics, is strongly influenced by two types of relationships that reflect the lives we are encouraged to lead. There are consumer relationships, those t
62、hat we participate in for the pleasure they bring us. They are focused on the present. It is what brings immediate pleasure that matters. And there are entrepreneurial(商业的) relationships, those that we invest in, hoping they will bring us some return.Aristotle thought that there were three types of
63、friendship: those of pleasure, those of usefulness, and true friendship. In Pleasure Friendships, he said, “It is not for their character that men love ready-witted people, but because they find them pleasant.” About the usefulness friendships, he said, “Those who love each other for their utility (
64、效用) do not love each other for themselves, but because of some good which they get from each other.”Although we benefit from our close friendships, these friendships are not a matter of calculable gain and loss. Consumer pleasures are lasting for only a limited time. They surround us for a short per
65、iod and then they fade, like a drug. Entrepreneur friendship, when successful, leads to the victory of personal gain.It is precisely the non-economic character that is threatened in a society in which each of us is offered only the choices of ownership, shopping, competition and growth. It is threat
66、ened when we are led to believe that friendships without obvious recognizable gain are, in the economic sense, irrational (不合理的) . Friendships are not without reason, perhaps, but they are certainly without that particular reason. Shared experience, not just everyday amusement or advancement, is the
67、 true basis of friendship.66. The author mentions his operation in the first paragraph to_.

72、er to carry an 7oz. tablet with thousands and thousands of books at your finger tips than it is to carry five books in your bag (which is exactly what I did on vacation).But I dont read for convenience.

The theme of my speech is “Speaking English, Telling Chinese Stories”. Many a time do my classmates ask me why we should study Englis
84、h. I have ever asked myself why. And today I would like to tell all of you I study English hard in order to not only learn about the world but also let the world learn about China. Theres no doubt that English is still an effective tool of communication. So learning English means opening a window to
85、 the world, by which we can learn more knowledge and skills from the advanced countries. However, in my opinion, what is the most important is that it is also a way for us to spread Chinese culture. It can help more people in the world to know more about China, a country with a long history and kind people. As Chairman Xi says, we should be confident in our own culture. So I appeal to all of you to study English and tell Chinese stories to the world. Thank you for listening.
