21、With golden sunshine and a gentle breeze（微风）, autumn is the most beautiful seasons in the year. This is a great time to go outside and have fun. Go to a valley to see red maple trees,go and pick fruit in an orchard or find an open field to fly your kite in.

However, for many high school students, these great activities may be just a dream. With plenty of work to do, they spend all their hours indoors, struggling for a high mark in their exams. Of course, study is one of the most important things for teenagers. But life is definitely much more than that.

Sometimes we spend so much time studying that we forget how to make life wonderful. In doing so, we lose the real purpose of life —to be a valuable and happy person. To enjoy just how great it is to be alive, we have to put down our books and pens and look around us. Students, take some exercise to improve your health, talk with your parents and friends for understanding and walk around outside to refresh（振作）our body and mind.

Going out and enjoying the beautiful countryside often helps our creativity in our work. Chinese craftsman, Lu Ban created a saw to help woodworkers. But if he hadn’t walked outside, he would not have been inspired by a kind of toothed（锯齿状的）grass. We could also suppose if Newton hadn’t rested under that apple tree, then he wouldn’t have been hit by an apple, and his classic（经典的）theories would not have come out.

Going out is not only a break from hard work, but a chance to add to life experience. So come on, give your brain a good rest. Step out of the books and get your bag ready for an autumn outing. We are sure you will get much more than knowledge from the exciting journey.

【1】In which paragraph does the writer make a summary about his opinion?

A．Paragraph 1.

B．Paragraph 2.

C．Paragraph 4.

D．Paragraph 5.

【2】Why is going out a dream for many high school students?

A．They are unhappy to do so.

B．They have too much work to do for getting high marks in the exams.

C．Their parents don’t allow them to do so.

【3】The passage is developed mainly by______________.

A．describing the beautiful scenery in Autumn

C．making predictions

D．reasoning and giving examples

【4】What message can you learn from the passage?

22、Emerging (新兴的) economies struggled to grow through the 2010s and pessimism clouds them now. People wonder how they will pay debts piling up during the pandemic and how they can grow rapidly. The freshest answer to this problem is the fast-spreading digital revolution. The world’s largest emerging market has already demonstrated the enormous effects of digital technology. As China’s old industries have slowed sharply over the past decade, the booming technology industry has kept the economy growing steadily.

Now China’s emerging market peers are getting a push from the same digital engines. Since 2014, more than 10,000 tech firms have been launched in emerging markets—nearly half of them outside China. From Bangladesh to Egypt, it is easy to find entrepreneurs who worked for Facebook or other US giants before coming home to start their own companies.

How can it be that the emerging market countries are adopting common digital technologies faster than the richer countries? One explanation is habit and its absence. In societies filled with stores and services, customers are often comfortable with the providers they have and slow to abandon them. In countries where people have difficulty even finding public facilities, a bank or a hospital, they will jump at the first digital option that comes along. Though only 5% of the Kenyans carry credit cards, more than 70% have access to digital banking.

The digital impact on productivity is visible on the ground. Many governments are moving services online to make them more transparent and less vulnerable to corruption, perhaps the most feared obstacle to doing business in the emerging world. Since 2010, the cost of starting a business has been steady in developed countries while falling sharply in emerging market countries, from 66% to just 27% of the average annual income. Entrepreneurs can now launch businesses affordably, organizing much of what they need on a smartphone.

The era of rapid digitization has only just begun. This offers many developing economies a revolutionary new path to catching up with the living standards of the developed world.

【1】Which is a result of digital technology for China?

A．Stabilizing its economy.

B．Accumulating its debts.

C．Keeping its old industries booming.

D．Letting its new industries slow sharply.

【2】Why does the author mention Kenyans in paragraph 3?

A．To show mature markets’ digital technologies.

B．To show rich nations unwillingly abandon what they own.

C．To show emerging markets accept digital options warmly.

D．To show poor nations have difficulty building public facilities.

【3】What plays a key role in the boom of digital businesses in emerging markets?

A．The steady annual income.

B．The low cost of launching businesses.

C．The simplified procedure of setting up a business.

D．The thorough removal of the most feared obstacle.

【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．Emerging Economies Are Seeking Their Fortune

B．The Digital Impact Is Huge on Global Productivity

C．Digital Technology Will Save Slow Emerging Markets

D．The Time of Rapid Digitization Is Around the Corner

23、   Now we are in a "golden age" of space-sample collection and exploration. Space agencies around the world are busy collecting, or planning to collect, samples from asteroids（小行星），moons and planets and so on.

China's Chang'e-5 mission is the most recent sample-return mission that has been successfully completed. On Dec 17, 2020, the Chang'e-5 lunar probe（探测器）returned home and landed in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region after weeks of space travel, China Daily reported. This was the world’s first lunar sample-return mission since 1976. The mission collected 1,713 grams of samples of rocks and dust with the help of a drill and a mechanical（机械的）arm.

Another space sample-return mission was completed on Dec 6, 2020. Japan's Hayabusa-2 probe returned a capsule to Earth containing valuable samples from the asteroid Ryugu. This was the second time asteroid samples had ever been collected and brought back to Earth. The first asteroid samples were collected by the original Hayabusa spacecraft back in 2010.

There will be more such missions in the near future. NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft, which collected samples from the asteroid Bennu in October 2020, is expected to return to Earth in 2023. Russia's Lunar-25 mission is scheduled to launch to the moon in 2021 to collect lunar samples.

“I cannot emphasize enough how valuable return samples are for increasing our understanding of the origin and evolution of our solar system and our place in the universe, and how we came to be," said Ann Nguyen, a NASA planetary scientist

As for the Chang'e-5 lunar samples, scientists will conduct various analyses, tests and experiments to determine the composition, structure and physical characteristics of the samples. This information will help to deepen our knowledge about the history of the moon, as well as our solar system as a whole.

24、Green exercise is a term used to describe any type of physical exercise that takes place in a natural environment, rather than in a health club or gym.【1】Instead, it relies on the use of natural means of taking part in activities that improve strength and endurance with as little reliance on equipment as possible.

【2】For example, some consider a truly natural exercise experience requires that the individual wear clothing only made from natural fibers. Others consider barefoot (赤脚的) running or walking would be greener and thus be more desirable than running or walking with shoes.

A slightly different approach to green exercise puts more stress on fresh air, sunshine, and involvement with the natural world, rather than the equipment or clothing【3】In like manner, climbing a mountain using standard used during the exercise. equipment and protective clothing would also be considered green exercise.

Many consider green exercise helps to reconnect human beings with the natural world. The interaction with nature helps to lower people’s blood pressure, refresh their mind, and actually improve their self-esteem (自尊).【4】

Not everyone believes that green exercise is more beneficial than working out in a health club or gym.【5】Meanwhile, the use of fitness devices may result in more challenging workouts, which help strengthen the heart and lungs in ways that more simplistic exercise in a natural setting would be difficult to manage.

A．Spirits are also believed to be positively affected.

B．A green gym uses as little equipment as possible.

C．All forms of green exercise are good for you.

D．Opinions on what truly green exercise means differ.

E．Besides, it usually doesn’t use fitness equipment that is normally found in a gym.
