I just flew from Berlin, Germany, to Atlanta, Georgia, and it took me 24 hours due to the weather-related delay during my stopover in New York. Like many other passengers, I was so worn out, annoyed, and helpless that I could barely hold it together.
The pilot, called Thierry Beyeler, was different. He left the flight deck and walked to the dissatisfied passengers to apologize and comfort them. The pilot’s appropriate behavior set the tone and ensured no one got angry. It reminded me of the beauty of “elegance under pressure”. Thierry Beyeler was a pilot with Swiss International Air Lines, for which he flew various aircraft. During the delay, I had the chance to speak to Beyeler and learn about his experience as a pilot.
He said, “Flying is a bit like eating chocolate. I love every flight. However, when you have16 flights in four days, then that’s too much chocolate for me...”. As for crisis situations, he did have a few: “Once, I had an engine failure, but that’s rare, and we handled it. Another time, we had smoke in the cabin (机舱), and we went to land quickly. In the end, it was just the air conditioning having some problems…” He believes, “As Murphy’s law puts it, ‘What can go wrong will go wrong’. So think about it and try to prepare mentally.”
Beyeler continued, “Compared with cars, a flight is a high-risk environment; it’s not like riding a bike. Even if there was a minor error, it could have fatal consequences. Every pilot is quite professional in the field. But it is the strong mindset in the chaos that plays the key role. Humans intervene in technical systems to solve problems countless times a day, and it would be dangerous if the pilot became nervous and forgot that.”
I’ve been touched by Beyeler’s words. I understand that human factors, including confidence, courage, responsibility, and emotional intelligence, are becoming more and more important in today’s world.
41、How did Beyeler sound facing the long delay according to the text
A. Depressed and tired. B. Calm and optimistic.
C. Helpless and anxious. D. Annoyed and sympathetic.
42、What does Beyeler want to show by mentioning “eating chocolate”
A. Flying brings him much fun.
B. Flying involves various crisis situations.
C. Too many flight tasks can be unbearable for him.
D. Too many crisis situations have happened to him.
43、What does Beyeler consider critical, for pilots during emergencies
A. Gaining a good sense of time.
B. Having great strength of mind.
C. Knowing all the technical systems well.
D. Having a good grasp of professional knowledge.
44、What did the author think of his communication with Beyeler
A. Boring. B. Frightening. C. Rewarding. D. Confusing.
45、Which of the following would be the best title for the text
A. An adventurous trip to Atlanta.
B. The potential crisis situations on the plane.
C. Major factors influencing traffic safety.
D. The lessons from the pilot Beyeler.
U. S. growers produced $2.2 billion in strawberries in 2020, mostly in California,according to the U. S. Department of Agriculture. But consumers discarded an estimated 35% of strawberries due to spoilage. To reduce consumer waste, the J.R. Sim-plot Company and Plant Sciences Inc. have teamed up to edit the DNA of strawberries and make these new-improved fruits available on the commercial market.
The new technology will improve the shelf life of strawberries and extend their growing season. What’s more, it may help farmers achieve higher production on less land, with reduced water and labor needs. In this way, farmers can grow healthier strawberry plants more efficiently, and the fruits will stay fresh for longer.
The companies will use CRISPR-Cas9 to edit the strawberries’ genes. This technology works like the cut-and-paste command on a computer. It allows scientists to identify a gene in the strawberry and cut it out. Then, they can sew the two ends of the gene back together or replace the old gene with the one that codes for an improvement.
Using CRISPR-Cas9 technology is much faster and more efficient than the selective breeding of cross, which can take years. It consists of crossing plants with the most desirable qualities over and over again until the ideal plant is achieved. ButCRISPR-Cas9 allows scientists to come straight to the point and avoid spending much time on plant breeding. Plants modified by CRISPR-Cas9 technology are nearly the same as plants bred using traditional methods.
“We are still working with everything that nature has provided. With traditional breeding, whatever features nature has kicked out of the DNA, that’s the hand you have been played,” Zachary Lippman, a plant biologist, told National Geographic. “With gene editing, now you are having an ace (王牌) up your sleeve.”The two companies are currently working on mapping out the genes of their strawberry varieties so they can identify which genes code for which features. If successful, they’ll launch the first commercially available gene-edited strawberries in the next years.
46、What does the underlined word “discarded” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Threw away. B. Mixed up. C. Broke down. D. Picked up.
47、What is the technology’s benefit to farmers
A. Planting bigger strawberry plants.
B. Having higher output on less land.
C. Helping improve the taste of strawberries.
D. Shortening the growth cycle of strawberries.
48、What is the main idea of Paragraph 3
A. How the technology works.
B. What makes up CRISPR-Cas9.
C. Why the technology is developed.
D. Where the technology can be applied.
49、How does the author highlight the advantage of the technology in Paragraph 4
A. By listing examples. B. By explaining, a concept.
C. By making comparisons. D. By proving research results.
50、What can we infer from Lippman’s words
A. He is good at traditional breeding methods.
B. He likes fruits with longer shelf lives.
C. He will help perfect the technology.
D. He is hopeful about the technology.
We are in the midst of a battle for our attention. Our devices have affected our brains and destroyed our collective ability to concentrate. Journalist Johann Hair’s new book, Stolen Focus, has just joined the voice s complaining about the great influence of the digital age. His and other recent books reflect a public perception that our focus is under attack.
Indeed, in out new research, we found some clear concerns. We surveyed a nationally representative sample of 2,093 UK adults in 2021. Half of those surveyed felt their attention ans were shorter than they used to be, compared with a quarter who didn’t. And three quarters of participants agreed we’re living through a time when there’s non-stop competition for our attention between a variety of media channels and information outlets (渠道).
There has long been a worry about the threat to attention brought by new cultural forms, whether that’s social media or the cheap paperback sensation novels of the 19th century. Even as far back as ancient Greece, the philosopher Socrates complained that the written words created “forgetfulness in our souls”. There has always been a tendency to fear the effects that new media and technologies will have on our minds.
The reality is that we simply don’t have long-term studies that tell us whether our attention spans have actually shrunk. What we do know from our study is that people overestimate some of the problems. There’s no such thing as an average attention span. Our ability to focus varies hugely depending on the individual and the task at hand.
It’s also important not to ignore the many benefits that technology brings to our life. Much of the public surveyed recognized these, so while half thought big tech and social media were ruining young people’s attention spans, roughly another half felt that being easily distracted was more to do with people’s personalities than any negative influence that tech ho logy may or may not have. Also, half of the public believed multitasking at work and switching frequently between emails, phone calls, and other tasks can create a more efficient and satisfactory work experience.
51、What might be the theme of the books mentioned in Paragraph 1
A. The main focus of social media.
B. The great influence of public opinion.
C. The attention crisis in the digital age.
D. The fierce competition in the digital age.
52、What can we know about some of the participants in the new research
A. They were frequently disturbed by digital devices.
B. They felt it hard to acquire useful information online.
C. They had shorter attention spans than average people.
D. They felt challenged by fierce competition from others.
53、Why does the author mention Socrates in Paragraph 3
A. To stress new cultural forms have limitations.
B. To show worry about attention is an age-old problem.
C. To prove the important role he played in literary history
D. To explain cultural differences between the past and the present.
54、What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. People tend to overestimate their ability es.
B. Digital distractions might have potential benefits.
C. Technology’s benefits have been largely ignored.
D. Switching between different tasks frequently is difficult.
55、What message does the author want to convey
A. Digital devices can benefit our work.
B. We should say “No” to digital devices.
C. We should think highly of new cultural forms.
D. Digital distractions really affect us so much.
It was a Friday afternoon. I was riding a bus home from school. At the bus stop before my destination, a few boys got off the bus. “Bye, Big Nose!” one of them said, waving to me. He and his friends laughed and got off the bus. My cheeks flushed (满脸通红) with embarrassment. I knew I didn’t have a tiny and delicate nose, but I had never thought of my nose as a particularly big one. I immediately covered my nose with my hands.
I went home immediately when I got off the bus. I came to the bathroom and looked at myself in profile (从侧面) in the mirror. Oh, no! I did have a big nose! Even worse, there was a slight bump (肿块) in my nose at the bridge. I experimented, putting the sunglasses on. They helped hide the bump. If only I could wear sunglasses all the time! Then I tried pressing down my nose. But when I took my finger away, it regained its shape. After two hours in the bathroom, I came out, feeling hopeless.
Days later, my family came over to my grandfather’s house for dinner. When we reached, climbed upstairs and found Grandpa in his bedroom, staring at a photograph. “Dally!” he smiled. But his eyes looked sad. My grandma passed away when I was in kindergarten. “Is that Grandma ” I asked. It was a black-and-white photo of a young woman with short blond hair and wide, pretty eyes. She was smiling at the camera as if she knew a wonderful secret. “Yeah,” Grandpa replied. I said, “She’s so beautiful.”
Grandpa added, “Inside and out. Next to you, of course.” “Thanks, Grandpa.” But I knew he was just being nice. And I knew I had a big nose, “You’re almost a carbon copy of your grandma,” Grandpa said. “Just look at your nose. You got your profile from your grandma. And there was also a tiny bump at the bridge of her nose,” he added.
That was the day I began to love my nose. I think my grandma Auden in some way is kept alive through my own nose with its beautiful bump.
56、What made the author feel embarrassed on the bus (no more than 10 words)
57、How did the author have her nose look smaller in the bathroom (no more than 10 words)
58、What was the author’s grandma like according to the photo (no more than 6 words)

60、What’s your attitude towards your appearance after reading the story (no more than 20 words)

What's more, it may help . farmers achieve higher production on less land, with reduced water and labor needs.(这项新技术将提 高草莓的保质期,延长它们的生长季节。更重要的 是,它可能会有所帮助。农民用更少的土地获得更 高的产量,减少了对水和劳动力的需求”可知,通 过这项技术,农民用更少的土地获得更高的产量。 故选B项。
48、答案:A
解析:主旨大意题。根据第三段“The companies will use CRISPR-Cas9 to edit the strawberries' genes. This technology works like the cut-and-paste command on a computer. It allows scientists to identify a gene in the strawberry and cut it out. Then, they can sew the two ends of the gene back together or replace the old gene with the one that codes for an improvement.(两家公司将使用CRISPR-Cas9来编辑草莓的基因。这项 技术的工作原理类似于电脑上的剪切-粘贴命令。它使科学家能够识别草莓中的基因并将其剔除。然后,他们可以将基因的两端缝合在一起,或者用编 码改进的基因替换旧基因)”可知,本段主要讲述了CRISPR-Cas9技术是如何工作的。故选A项。
49、答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据第四段“Using CRISPR- Cas9 technology is much faster and more efficient than the selective breeding of cross, which can take years. It consists of crossing plants with the most desirable qualities over and over again until the ideal plant is achieved. ButCRISPR-Cas9 allows scientists to come straight to the point and avoid spending much time on plant breeding. Plants modified by CRISPR-Cas9 technology are nearly the same as plants bred using traditional methods.(使用CRISPR-Cas9技术比选择杂 交育种更快、更有效,后者可能需要数年时间。它 包括将具有最理想品质的植物反复杂交,直到获得 理想的植物。但是CRISPR-Cas9可以让科学家直接 切入主题,避免在植物育种上花费太多时间。通过 CRISPR-Cas9技术修饰的植物与使用传统方法培育 的植物几乎相同)”可知,作者通过用CRISPR-Cas9技 术和杂交育种做比较,来强调该技术的优势。故选 C项。
50、答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段““We are still working with everything that nature has provided. With traditional breeding, whatever features nature has kicked out of the DNA, that's the hand you have been played,” Zachary Lippman, a plant biologist, told National Geographic. "With gene editing, now you are having an ace(王牌) up your sleeve.”(“我们仍在利用大自然提供的一切。植物生物学家扎卡里 利普曼在接受《国家地理》杂志采访时表示:“在传统育种 中,无论大自然从DNA中剔除了什么特征,那都是 你一直在玩的牌。”“有了基因编辑,现在你就有了一张王牌。”)”可知,利普曼把基因编辑比作王牌, 所以他对这项技术充满希望。故选D项。
51、答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段“We are in the midst of a battle for our attention. Our devices have affected our brains and destroyed our collective ability to concentrate.

53、答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段“There has long been a worry about the threat to attention brought by new cultural forms, whether that's social media or the cheap paperback sensation novels of the 19th century. Even as far back as ancient Greece, the philosopher Socrates complained that the written words created forgetfulness in our souls. There has always been a tendency to fear the effects that new media and technologies will have on our minds.(长期以来,人们一直担心新的文化形式会威胁人们的注意力,无论 是社交媒体还是19世纪廉价的平装小说。早在古希腊,哲学家苏格拉底就抱怨说,书面文字造成了“我们灵魂中的健忘”。人们总是倾向于担心新媒体和新 技术会对我们的思想产生影响)”可知,作者提到苏 格拉底是为了表现出对注意力的担忧是一个古老的问题。故选B项。
54、答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段“It's also important not to ignore the many benefits that technology brings to our life. Much of the public surveyed recognized these, so while half thought big tech and social media were ruining young people's attention spans, roughly another half felt that being easily distracted was more to do with people's personalities than any negative influence that tech ho logy may or may not have. Also, half of the public believed multitasking at work and switching frequently between emails, phone calls, and other tasks can create a more efficient and satisfactory work experience.(同样 重要的是,不要忽视科技给我们生活带来的诸多好 处。大部分接受调查的公众都认识到了这一点,因此,虽然一半的人认为大型科技公司和社交媒体正 在破坏年轻人的注意力持续时间,但大约有一半的 人认为,容易分心更多地与人们的个性有关,而不 是科技可能产生或不产生的任何负面影响。此外,一半的公众认为,在工作中多任务处理,在电子邮 件、电话和其他任务之间频繁切换,可以创造更高效、更令人满意的工作体验)”可知,在最后一段作 者讲述了科技带给我们的好处和便利,所以可推知 数字干扰可能有潜在的好处。故选B项。
55、答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段“We are in the midst of a battle for our attention. Our devices have affected our brains and destroyed our collective ability to concentrate. Journalist Johann Hair's new book, Stolen Focus, has just joined the voice s complaining about the great influence of the digital age. His and other recent books reflect a public perception that our focus is under attack.(我们正处于一场争夺注意力的 战斗中。我们的设备已经影响了我们的大脑,破坏 了我们集中注意力的能力。记者约翰 海尔的新书 《被偷走的焦点》刚刚加入了抱怨数字时代巨大影 响的行列。他和其他最近出版的书反映了公众的一 种看法,即我们的关注点正在受到攻击)”以及纵观全文可知,作者在前几段主要讲述了数字干扰可能 影响了我们的注意力,在之后,又讲述了数字设备 带给我们的好处和便利,所以作者想要传达不管好 坏,数字干扰确实对我们影响很大。故选D项。
