Sitting in the garden for my friend’s birthday, I felt a buzz (振动) in my pocket. My heart raced when
I saw the email sender’s name. The email started off: “Dear Mr Green, thank you for your interest” and
“the review process took longer than expected.” It ended with “We are sorry to inform you…” and my
vision blurred (模糊). I had put so much time and emotional energy into applying for the programme,
and I thought the rejection meant the end of the road for my science career.
So I was shocked when, not long after the email, Professor Mary Devon invited me to observe the
work being done in her lab. I jumped at the chance, and a few weeks later I was equally shocked — and
overjoyed — when she invited me to talk with her about potential projects I could pursue in her lab. I got
it and decided I was going to give it my all.
I found myself working with a robotics professor on techniques for collecting data from the desert
remotely. That project, which I could complete from my sofa instead of in the burning heat of the desert,
not only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn’t. In the end, I had a new
scientific interest to pursue.
When I applied to graduate school, I found three programmes promising to allow me to follow my
desired research direction. This time I had the perspective (视角) to keep it from sending me into panic
due to my being rejected. It helped that in the end I was accepted into one of the other programmes I was
also excited about.
Rather than setting plans in stone, I’ve learned that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that
are offered, even if they don’t sound perfect at the time, and make the most of them.
24. What do we know from Paragraph 1?
A. I was actually declined.
B. I was spending my birthday.
C. I felt peaceful receiving the email.
D. I had devoted little to my dream job.
25. What did the author decide to do after talking with Professor Mary Devon?
A. Criticize the review process. B. Stay longer in the Sahara Desert.
C. Apply to the original project again. D. Put his heart and soul into the lab work.
26. How did the author feel about the project with the robotics professor?
A. Demanding. B. Inspiring. C. Misleading. D. Amusing.
27. What can we learn from this passage?
A. An invitation is a reward. B. An innovation is a resolution.
C. A rejection can be a redirection. D. A refusal can be a discouragement.
C
It is an unpleasant extinction that will change the world and how people communicate: within 20
years, two thirds of all the planet’s languages will be dead.
Experts agree that nothing can stop it happening but one academic is trying her hardest to slow it
down. Professor Antonella Sorace is one of a growing number who believe learning a second language
has enormous potential benefits for the human brain. Research consistently shows that learning a new
language could delay the start of dementia（痴呆）for four to five years — a better result than with any
medication to date.
It is those benefits of bilingualism (双语) that should encourage us to preserve and protect Europe’s
minority languages — Gaelic, Manx, Cornish and Ulster Scots, she says.
Already her work and the project she founded three years ago in Edinburgh, Bilingualism Matters —
now expanding across Europe and in the US — have convinced the Scottish government to introduce
languages to primary schools. From 2024 all Scottish children will be learning a language other than
English in their first year at school, with two other languages to be introduced later.
Just as disappearing forests take with them secrets of undiscovered medicines, disappearing
languages can take the key to a longer and better quality of life. The first battle is to remove the popular
assumption that bilingualism might damage children’s brains. There were even suggestions that it could
encourage schizophrenia (精神分裂症).
“Study after study has shown the opposite to be true,” says Sorace. “These prejudices are deeply
rooted, but we are perhaps halfway to persuading people that the brain can cope. Then we have to
persuade people that it is actually of benefit.”
28. What will happen to the majority of the world’s languages?
A. They will become extinct in decades.
B. They will be learnt by more academics.
C. They will prevent the risk of dementia.
D. They will help people better communicate.
29. What’s Bilingualism Matters intended to do?
A. Find a replacement for English.
B. Teach businesses marketing skills.
C. Promote minority language learning.
D. Influence governments’ policy making.
30. What’s the top priority in preserving minority languages?
A. Getting rid of people’s fear for mental illnesses.
B. Finding the key to promoting people’s welfare.
C. Unlocking the secrets of undiscovered medicines.
D. Correcting the misconception about Bilingualism.
31. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. The Benefits of Bilingualism
B. The Founding of Bilingualism Matters
C. A New Challenge Facing Language Teaching
D. A Professor Fighting to Save Minority Languages
D
By the end of the century, if not sooner, the world’s oceans will be bluer and greener due to a
warming climate, according to a new study.
At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny marine microorganisms(海洋微生物) called phytoplankton,
which create colourful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean colour varies from green to blue, depending
on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in
some areas, while reducing it in other spots, leading to changes in the ocean’s appearance.
Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull carbon dioxide into the ocean while giving
off oxygen. When these organisms die, they bury carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that
helps to regulate the global climate. But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean’s warming trend,
which can easily affect phytoplankton growth.
Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MIT’s Center for Global Change Science, built a climate model
that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century. The model projects that currently blue areas
with little phytoplankton could become even bluer. But in some waters, such as those of the Arctic, a
warming will make conditions riper for phytoplankton, and these areas will turn greener.
And why does that matter? Phytoplankton are the base of the food web. If certain kinds begin to
disappear from the ocean, Dutkiewicz said, “it will change the type of fish that will be able to survive.”
Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain.
Whatever colour changes the ocean experiences in the coming decades will probably be too gradual
and unnoticeable, but they could mean significant changes. Dutkiewicz said, “The change in the colour
of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we really have changed our planet.”
32. What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?
A. The various patterns at the ocean surface.
B. The cause of the changes in ocean colour.
C. The tiny marine organisms in the oceans.
D. The current condition of warming climate.
33. What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Sensitive. B. Beneficial. C. Significant. D. Unnoticeable.
34. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Phytoplankton play a declining role in the marine ecosystem.
B. Dutkiewicz’s model aims to project phytoplankton changes.
C. Phytoplankton have been used to control global climate.
D. Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.
35. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To assess the consequences of ocean colour changes.
B. To analyse the composition of the ocean food chain.
C. To explain the effects of climate change on oceans.
D. To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton.

How to Build a Better Breakfast
We all know breakfast is the most important meal of the day. A study found that breakfast eaters
were more likely to lose weight . 36 The following will help you really rise and shine.
1. Eat even if you're not hungry.
Although you might not feel like eating first thing in the morning, it’s a good idea to get something
into your system. Eating within 90 minutes of waking up will jump-start your metabolism（新陈代谢）
and keep you from getting hungry later. 37
2. Be boring.
Changing what you eat is a good idea, but you might want to stick to the same old menu. People who
allowed their breakfast calories to change have larger waists and a higher possibility of metabolic
syndrome（代谢综合征）than those who keep their morning calorie intake constant. 38
3. Add peanuts or peanut butter.
By eating peanuts or peanut butter, the carbohydrates (碳水化合物）are taken in more slowly and
blood sugar does not rise too high. 39 So they are less likely to snack later.
4. 40
Eat breakfast like a king. It’s well worth following. Those who eat a balanced 700-calorie breakfast
over a 12-week period lower their blood sugar and blood pressure twice more than people who eat a
200-calorie meal. They also lose an average of 19.2 pounds.
A. Go big.
B. Pile on the produce.
C. So it’s best to hold it steady.
D. Just a banana will do the trick.
E. It could set you up for overeating throughout the day.
F. Plus women feel fuller for up to 12 hours by doing so.
G. Other studies show skipping breakfast may cause health problems.
