21、In this influential work about the surprising divide between children and the outdoors, child supporter expert Richard Louv directly links the lack of nature in the lives of today’s wired generation---he calls it nature-deficit(赤字)----to some of the most disturbing childhood trends, such as the rises in obesity, attention disorders, and depression.

Last Child in the Woods is the first book to bring together a new and growing body of research indicating that direct exposure to nature is essential for healthy childhood development and for the physical and emotional health of children and adults. More than just raising an alarm, Louv offers practical solutions and simple ways to heal the broken bond---and many are right in our own backyard.

·100 actions you can take to create change in your community, school, and family.

·A new progress report by the author about the growing Leave No Child Inside movement.

·New and updated research confirming that direct exposure to nature is essential for the physical and emotional health of children and adults

Last Child in the Woods: Saving our Children from Nature Deficit Disorder has promoted a national dialogue among educators, health professional, parents, developers and conservationists. This is a book that will change the way you think about the future of your children.

22、According to a recent study, children explore more than adults and it helps them learn better than grown-ups. The study notes when adults attempt something new but get a negative result, they often won’t try it again.

Dr. Alison Gopnik, one of the co-authors, said “That might seem like the most basic kind of intelligence—even rats stay away from a path leading to a shock. The downside is that we will never learn the world is more complicated. Children, however, have intense curiosity and drive to explore and this helps them learn many different things and quickly.”

Together with NYU scientist Emily Liquin, Gopnik conducted a scientific experiment to test if young children’s drive to explore more than grown-ups influences the way they learn.

They gave 64 young children and 87 adults a game where each placed different blocks on a machine with one rule: If the machine lights up, they get a prize consisting of a star, but if the machine doesn’t light up, they lose twice as much. The goal of the game was to discover that all the blocks work except for the ones with white spots.

Most of the children were able to figure out the rule correctly, whereas more than 70% adults couldn’t, but it came at a cost: The children earned fewer stars.

The experiment shows adults often leap to faster conclusions, while children are more willing to explore and gather more information before they decide on a result.

The experiment only studied four to seven-year-olds compared to adults in the United States, noting more research is needed to generalize it to a broader population and context, according to the paper.

Gopnik concludes, “We grown-ups are often so anxious to exploit that we don’t explore, so afraid of losing stars that we miss the chance to learn something new. Children, however, are natural explorers, willing to sacrifice stars for the sake of information. We need both types of thinking to grow up, but adults might learn something from those curious kids.”

【1】Why did Gopnik mention rats in Paragraph 2?

A．To show adults’ avoiding bad results is understandable.

B．To compare whether adults are much cleverer than rats.

C．To tell us rats are appropriate subjects in experiments.

D．To suggest that rats are clever enough to choose safe paths.

【2】What do we know about the experiment?

A．It aimed to test if children have more drive to explore.

B．Most adults could understand the game rule correctly.

C．Children got better results than adults in the game.

D．It has some limitations and needs further research.

【3】What does Gopnik mean according to the last paragraph?

A．Adults’ way of thinking should be abandoned.

B．The two ways of thinking should be combined.

C．Children are better at getting information.

D．Adults should learn to think in children’s way.

【4】Based on the study, which of the following is desirable in educating kids?

A．Inspiring kids to explore regardless of risks.

B．Encouraging kids to be brave to try new things.

C．Motivating kids to draw conclusions quickly.

D．Teaching kids not to care about gains and losses.

23、The Fallas Festival (法雅节) in Spain

It is sometimes strange how world-famous festivals are started. 【1】 It takes place every March in Valencia of Spain.

Centuries ago, the city’s carpenters would empty their houses of all the old wood they had saved over the winter and burn it all in the local square. Over time, the carpenters began to use their old wood to carve different images. 【2】 Everyone would come to take a look and everything would be burnt.

The Fallas Festival is now one of the most popular festivals in Spain. 【3】 Today, 350 communities that make up Valencia work together to design and make two sculptures. These larger-than-life sculptures, often several meters high, are still made of wood, but also include cardboard. On the 15th of March, the sculptures are paraded around the city.

【4】 These will not be burnt at the end of the festival. They are instead, saved and placed in the local museum, which is open throughout the year. During the festival, there are lots of different community activities. Every activity ends with fireworks being let off during both the day and night.

The Fallas Festival always bring communities together. On the final night, all the sculptures are collected and put on a bonfire (大火堆) in the main Valencia square. The fire is lit and all the year's hard work comes to an end in towers of flames. 【5】

A．The Fallas Festival is an exception.

B．Everyone would participate in carving.

C．This is especially true with the Fallas Festival.

D．A competition is run where the best sculptures are chosen.

E．It also attracts people from the world to watch and take part.

F．Sometimes they would create funny images of famous people.

G．Everyone watching says goodbye to winter and welcome to spring.

24、China’s first domestically-developed passenger jet, C919, was delivered to China Eastern Airlines in Shanghai in late 2022. The plane, developed by the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC), was issued a certificate of airworthiness by the country’s aviation (航空) regulator, the Civil Aviation Administration of China.

Its certification signifies that China has the ability to independently develop world-class large passenger aircraft, and marks an important milestone for the country’s large aircraft industry. American aerospace manufacturer (制造商) Boeing and France-based Airbus have long dominated the commercial aircraft market. The C919, as part of China’s goal to develop homemade civil planes, is trying to compete with medium-range passenger planes from the two global giants.

The C919 narrow-body jet is China’s first trunk jetliner developed in accordance with international standards of airworthiness and with independent intellectual property rights. It has a wingspan of nearly 36 meters, a length of about 39 meters and a tail height of around 12 meters. The single-aisle plane has 158 to 192 seats. About 60 percent of the planes in the global civil plane industry, and 80 percent of the planes on the Chinese market, belong to this category in terms of the number of seats. Its aerodynamically-designed wings made from advanced metals and composites help improve fuel efficiency while reducing noise in the cabin. Its cockpit (驾驶舱), with the latest navigation technology and the so-called “fly by wire” computer controls, makes the C919 competitive with other narrow-body jets.

Narrow-body aircraft with 150 to 200 seats have been the most widely used planes in the global civil aviation market, and the C919 was designed and developed to meet the huge market demand for this type of planes. COMAC said the company is also preparing for gaining an airworthiness certificate from the European Aviation Safety Agency, aiming for the global market. And if the C919 could prove it’s safe, reliable and fuel-efficient in commercial operations, and has a competitive price, it will of course be welcomed by the global market.

【1】What does the C919’s certification mean?

A．Chinese aircraft manufacturing ha superior to American.

B．The C919 is the best-equipped commercial aircraft in the world.

C．China has the ability to develop medium-range passenger planes.

D．The C919 sets the stage for a new competition with Boeing and Airbus.

【2】Which aspect of the C919 is mentioned in the text?

A．Design principle.

B．Length of the flight.

C．Capacity of passengers.

D．Manufacturing process.

【3】What is the purpose of the last paragraph?

A．To draw people’s special attention to the C919.

B．To prospect huge market potential of the C919.

C．To compare the C919 with other foreign planes.

D．To celebrate the C919’s success of its certification.

【4】What is the text?

A．A news report.

B．A science review.

C．A research paper.

D．An experiment report.
