22、Standing on the shore of a lake, I can’t help wondering about the tens or hundreds of thousands of small rocks that surround my boots. They were all created from hard surfaces, their edges softening over time.

And I wonder, can we learn from a pile of rocks?

Even the tallest mountains have worm down; none are as tall as they were 1000 years ago. And much like a rock, I’ve found my attitude has softened and my desire to better understand others has expanded with each trip around the sun.

Once I was a sharp rock covered in pointy edges. Today, after decades of the waters of life flowing quickly over me, my edges are softer and more understanding I’m less likely to judge and more interested in learning how we can exist together.

But I’m not a rock. I’m a human being filled with all the drama built into my DNA.

Two years ago, while traveling in the Pacific Northwest, I watched a restaurant owner ask several people to leave for not wearing masks. Not forceful and not rude. On the door read a sign: “Please wear a mask before entering our restaurant. We don’t like it either, but let’s all do what we can to get through this together.”

The group of young men wished to argue about the note.

I sat watching, understanding both sides. I’ve been those guys before, using my youthful edges to chip away at the world. What I lost, however, was the ability to grow from experiences by looking through the eyes of others. In learning to be more open, I’ve also found more happiness and success.

You can put more rounded rocks in a jar than those with sharp edges. The former look for ways to adjust and make room for others; the latter never give an inch to accommodate others.

Time, like the waters rolling against once sharp stones, changes us by washing away our resistance to seeing the world from another’s point of view.

I placed a rounded stone into my jacket pocket. Mother Nature is holding class again.

【1】What does the author compare the rocks to?

A．People’s abilities.

B．People’s character.

C．What nature offers us.

D．Challenges that we meet.

【2】The owner refused the young men into the restaurant because_________.

A．they argued with him

B．their behaviors were impolite

C．they were unwilling to obey his rule

D．they were wearing informal clothes

【3】The underlined phrase “chip away at” probably means________.

A．fight against

B．do harm to

C．get on well with

D．adapt to

【4】What is the main idea of the text?

A．Be brave when facing difficulties.

B．Be understanding towards others.

C．We learn from waters of life.

D．Our edges soften over time.

24、   A new study shows that underwater seagrass may be trapping millions of pieces of tiny marine plastic in natural balls of fiber in what is known as Neptune balls. Huge masses of seagrass make up most of the coastal waters around the world and when there are storms these balls are washed to the shores.

There are 70 different species of seagrass around the globe, which provide important ecosystem benefits including improving water quality, absorbing CO2, reducing climate change, as well as providing a habitat for many species. Now ocean pollution cleanup can be added to the list.

The fact that these grasses contained plastic particles was discovered by Anna Sanchez-Vidal, leading author and a marine biologist at the University of Barcelona in Spain and her team who have been measuring the amount of plastic that was collected from seagrass from four beaches in Mallorca, Spain between 2018 and 2019.

The researchers studied just one species, Posidonia Oceanica, and found plastic debris(碎片) in half of the 42 Neptune balls they examined and it amounted to 613 microplastic items per kilogram of leaves. They estimated that up to 867 million plastic items may be trapped in the seagrass in the Mediterranean Sea every year, according to the research that was published in the January 2021 issue of the journal Scientific Reports.

“It shows that plastic debris in the seafloor can be trapped in seagrass remains, eventually leaving the marine environment through beaching,” Sanchez-Vidal, told the Agence France-Presse. This plastic cleanup, “represents a continuous cleaning of plastic debris out of the sea,” she said.

Around 8 million tons of plastic pollution end up in the world’s oceans yearly and make up 80 percent of all marine debris. Plastic pollution is threatening food safety, health, tourism, and contributes to climate change.

“This is why we need to protect and preserve these vulnerable ecosystems. However, the best environmental protection strategy to keep oceans free of plastic is to reduce landfills, an action that requires to limit its use by the population,” the researchers concluded in the study.

【1】What do we know from the second paragraph?

A．Underwater seagrass is planted to clean up seawater.

B．Underwater seagrass has contributed to climate change.

C．Underwater seagrass benefits ecosystem in different ways.

D．Underwater seagrass has been used to fight against pollution.

【2】How did the researchers carry out the study?

A．By collecting the data of plastic debris found on the beach.

B．By analyzing the amount of plastic contained in the seagrass.

C．By showing the distribution of Posidonia Oceanica in the ocean.

D．By counting the number of Neptune balls in the Mediterranean Sea.

【3】Why are some figures shown in Paragraph 6?

A．To call readers’ attention to the environment.

B．To prove a lot of research has been done.

C．To stress the worsening situation of seagrass.

D．To show how serious plastic pollution is getting.

【4】What is the best way to rid the ocean of plastic according to the researchers?

A．Reducing the use of plastic products.

B．Recycling as much plastic as possible.

C．Burying the plastic debris in the earth.

D．Developing environmentally friendly materials.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

When the Gilberts first moved to the city, they began looking for a new home. For their daughter Elise, aged 12, her dream-like house will have a big backyard with grass and flowers.

“I hope it will have a tree where there birds can play.” Elise’s brother Frank, a bird-lover, echoed her more than once.

But it was not easy to find a house that pleased them. For six weeks the Gilberts hunted and hunted. At last, they found one and moved into the new house. However, there was not a blade of grass anywhere, or even a small bush. Smooth concrete only! Out of expectation, in one corner of the yard stood a tall white flagpole. At the foot of the pole was a low place filled to the edge with clear, sparkling water.

“I don’t suppose that we shall be able to make friends with the birds...” Elise was in low spirits. Frank, biting his lips, said nothing.

The next day was Saturday. Elise and her Mum went out shopping as usual. Frank went out into the yard and examined the flagpole for a long time. As he stood looking at the hard concrete, he thought to himself, “It does seem lonesome.” Then something made him look up, two little birds fluttering above the bead around the top of the flagpole! “Well,” cried the surprised boy, “I do believe birds would come here to live if they had only half a chance!”

Hearing Frank’s excited voice, Mr. Gilbert stepped out of the house and neared him. As a matter of fact, his father had already read through Frank’s mind those days. “Do not forget tomorrow is your sister’s birthday.”

“Of course not!” Frank nodded firmly, “I’ll give her a big surprise and would you please lend me a hand?” “My pleasure!”
