When the air is polluted we wear masks to protect our lungs (肺). What about bees and butterflies? They can’t wear masks.
New Scientist magazine recently reported findings from James Ryalls and his team at the University of Reading, UK. Their study found that air pollution is harmful (有害的) to pollinators (传花粉者) – insects like bees and butterflies. They can’t smell flowers because of the pollution.
Pollinators are important. They spread pollen (花粉) among plants with flowers. This helps the flower produce seed and fruit. Without pollinators, farms cannot make food. We all need pollinators.
To do their study, Ryalls’ team built eight areas. Then, they piped (吹送) nitrogen oxide (氧化氮) and ozone (臭氧) into six of these areas. The other two areas had normal air. They were the control group.
“The results were much more severe (严重的) than we thought,” said Ryalls. The levels of pollution in their tests were similar to “normal road traffic”. In such conditions, 70 percent fewer insects entered the area. Once they were there, they didn’t hang around. Visits to flowers decreased by up to 90 percent.
Scientists explained that gases like nitrogen oxide and ozone can break down the scents (气味) of flowers. This makes it hard for insects to find their food.
Maybe the most terrible thing is that the researchers created pollution levels that were legal (合法的) in the UK. Shannon Olsson, a scientist in India, called the results “important” because they show that “safe” levels of pollution keep pollinators away.
“Air pollution is another stress on insects,” said Ryalls. “That adds to all the other stresses … causing their numbers to decline (减少).”
56. What problem may air pollution cause to pollinators?
A. They may have less food to eat.
B. They may eat more fruit and vegetables.
C. They can’t smell flowers, so they spread（传播）less pollen.
D. They may stop flowers giving out scents.
57. How did the scientists do the research?
A. They recorded(记录）insects’ activities on farms next to busy roads.
B. They brought clean air to places with severe air pollution.
C. They piped nitrogen oxide and ozone into eight areas.
D. They compared（比较）insect behavior in areas with polluted air and normal air.
58. What happened to pollinators in areas with air pollution?
A. They found food more easily. B. They could not find each other.
C. They hung out（外出）more often. D. They visited flowers less.
59. What does Paragraph 7 show?
A. Pollinators will only work in a “safe” environment.
B. Even “safe” levels of pollution influence（影响）pollinators badly.
C. The law will have less control over air pollution.
D. An environment that is safe for insects is not safe for humans.
60. What is the experiment in the passage mainly about?
A. The influence of air pollution on pollinating insects.
B. Different levels of air pollution in the UK.
C. Stresses that insects are facing.
D. Causes of air pollution in big cities.
D
During the two sessions( 两 会 ), people around the world talk about China. Have you ever wondered what topics Generation Z (people born 1995－2009) are most interested in? In March 2022, China Daily did a survey on topics of the two sessions to see what interests Generation Zers most. Let’s take a look.
Among all topics, “mental health” got the most votes. “Spreading traditional culture” (83%) followed closely. The top choice is not unexpected. Reports on mental health problems of teenagers have increased in recent years. The rate of depression ( 抑郁) among them was nearly 25%. The attention they give to mental health shows that they care for their own well-being. When they don’t feel well, they will speak out and ask for help.
Although Generation Zers are young, they understand the power of traditional culture. They believe that China is deeply rooted in traditional culture and would like to spread it to the world. Zhao Yan, a junior 2 student from Liaoning Riwan Middle School, said, “My school set up many clubs to help students understand the importance of traditional culture. I join a paper-cutting workshop and a hanfu club. I have learned a lot. I made a tiger-shaped paper-cutting. It has not only helped me practise my handwork skills but also let me know the beauty of art. It’s our duty to pass this great art to future generations.”
Instead of only care about themselves, Generation Zers also set their eyes on social problems. Kevin Xu, a 16-year-old boy from Shenzhen, told the reporter.” I care about the prevention and control measures (防治措施) of COVID-19. I’m now studying in the UK. In February, the UK government ended quarantine ( 隔 离 ) rules. It means that COVID-19 patients can go out. This would never happen in China! I think China’s “dynamic zero-case” policy ( 动态清零政策) sounds more responsible. A country should protect its people in a pandemic.”
People seem to know little about Generation Zers. Thanks to this survey, we are able to take a closer look at “what Generation Zers care about” and paint a picture of what they are like.
61. According to the passage, what might be the percent of votes of mental health in the survey?
A. 95% B. 84% C. 55% D. 82%
62.What does the author mean by saying, “The top choice is not unexpected.” ?
A. It is happy to find teenagers pay attention to their own health.
B. The author is surprised that the mental health problems of teenagers are serious.
C. The author is surprised that the rate of depression is unexpectedly high.
D. It’s known to all that the mental health problems of teenagers are serious.
63.According to the third paragraph, what is Zhao Yan like?
A. Creative（有创造力的） and artistic. B. Lazy and selfish（自私的）.
C. Impolite and unsocial. D. Clever and expressive（富有表现力的）.
64. What can we infer(推断) from the fourth paragraph?
A. Kevin Xu studies in the UK and he is happy with everything there.
B. Kevin Xu agrees with the control measures of COVID-19 in the UK.
C. Kevin Xu thinks China’s “dynamic zero-case” policy is a wise decision.
D. Kevin Xu thinks it’s fine for COVID-19 patients to go out.
65. What is the structure of this passage?
A.①—②③④⑤ B. ①—②—③④—⑤
C.①—②③—④⑤ D. ①—②③④—⑤

五、任务型阅读（共10小题，每空2 分，计 20 分）
Sometimes, we see some people reading books while biting (咬) their nails (指甲). We may think it is a kind of behavior that means they are focused (专心的). But in fact, it is more than that and science has proved it.
Nail biting can begin at an early age. According to the BBC, up to 45 percent of teenagers bite their nails.
There is not an exact answer to explain why people bite their nails. But most commonly, nail biting is said to be a nervous habit. It is done because of stress, boredom or excitement.
What’s more, scientists found that people with higher levels of intelligence (智力) are the ones who start biting their nails at an early age. They believe that compared with the average person, those with higher levels of intelligence may feel higher levels of stress more easily.
This habit is bad for the biters. It can give them red or sore fingertips. And long-term nail biting can affect (影响) how our nails grow.
But don’t worry! There are many ways to stop biting your nails. First, keep your nails clean. The more you focus on (集中于) taking care of your nails, the less likely you are to start biting them again. Also, when you feel stressed, try to relax. Doing exercise or having a warm bath both help.
Nail biting
How it starts
* It can start when people are 66 .
* Up to 45 percent of teenagers have the 67 .
68
* It has something to do with a nervous habit because people feel stressed,
69 or excited.
* The higher levels of intelligence people have, the higher levels of 70 they may feel, and the more likely they will bite their nails.
71
* It can give them red or 72 fingertips.
* Long-term nail biting can affect the 73 our nails grow.
Solutions
* Keep your nails clean. Focus more on 74 after your nails
* If you feel stressed, it is 75 to do exercise or have a warm bath.
六、语篇填空（共10小题，每题2分，计20分）
An as old saying 76 , “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” I learned the meaning of this when I studied in Russia.
One day I 77 some of my Chinese friends to a famous local restaurant in Moscow. My guests and I were excited from visiting Red Square and happy about our meeting. We chatted 78 (warm) until the waiter told me that we were talking too loud. We turned our voices lower. But this didn't last long. The waiter came over to us two 79 times with the same message.
How bad an impression (印象) we must have left on the local people! It is 80 (nature )and important for a host to create a lively atmosphere (气氛). 81 , public place means you must keep your voice low. You need to be polite to others.
I 82 (feel) bad about this. Even though we tried our best, it's very difficult to develop a new habit. Russians have their own special habits. My Russian friend, Andrey always looks around and thinks for a while before 83 (leave) home. I asked him why he did this. “Aha,” Andrey said, “In Russia, people always spend about a minute going on things and plans in their minds before they leave. So they won't leave 84 necessary behind.
85 (Find) the differences between cultures is very interesting. I'd like to keep my eyes and mind open.

When the air is polluted we wear masks to protect our lungs (肺). What about bees and butterflies? They can’t wear masks.
New Scientist magazine recently reported findings from James Ryalls and his team at the University of Reading, UK. Their study found that air pollution is harmful (有害的) to pollinators (传花粉者) – insects like bees and butterflies. They can’t smell flowers because of the pollution.
Pollinators are important. They spread pollen (花粉) among plants with flowers. This helps the flower produce seed and fruit. Without pollinators, farms cannot make food. We all need pollinators.
To do their study, Ryalls’ team built eight areas. Then, they piped (吹送) nitrogen oxide (氧化氮) and ozone (臭氧) into six of these areas. The other two areas had normal air. They were the control group.
“The results were much more severe (严重的) than we thought,” said Ryalls. The levels of pollution in their tests were similar to “normal road traffic”. In such conditions, 70 percent fewer insects entered the area. Once they were there, they didn’t hang around. Visits to flowers decreased by up to 90 percent.
Scientists explained that gases like nitrogen oxide and ozone can break down the scents (气味) of flowers. This makes it hard for insects to find their food.
Maybe the most terrible thing is that the researchers created pollution levels that were legal (合法的) in the UK. Shannon Olsson, a scientist in India, called the results “important” because they show that “safe” levels of pollution keep pollinators away.
“Air pollution is another stress on insects,” said Ryalls. “That adds to all the other stresses … causing their numbers to decline (减少).”
56. What problem may air pollution cause to pollinators?
A. They may have less food to eat.
B. They may eat more fruit and vegetables.
C. They can’t smell flowers, so they spread（传播）less pollen.
D. They may stop flowers giving out scents.
57. How did the scientists do the research?
A. They recorded(记录）insects’ activities on farms next to busy roads.
B. They brought clean air to places with severe air pollution.
C. They piped nitrogen oxide and ozone into eight areas.
D. They compared（比较）insect behavior in areas with polluted air and normal air.
58. What happened to pollinators in areas with air pollution?
A. They found food more easily. B. They could not find each other.
C. They hung out（外出）more often. D. They visited flowers less.
59. What does Paragraph 7 show?
A. Pollinators will only work in a “safe” environment.
B. Even “safe” levels of pollution influence（影响）pollinators badly.
C. The law will have less control over air pollution.
D. An environment that is safe for insects is not safe for humans.
60. What is the experiment in the passage mainly about?
A. The influence of air pollution on pollinating insects.
B. Different levels of air pollution in the UK.
C. Stresses that insects are facing.
D. Causes of air pollution in big cities.

During the two sessions( 两 会 ), people around the world talk about China. Have you ever wondered what topics Generation Z (people born 1995－2009) are most interested in? In March 2022, China Daily did a survey on topics of the two sessions to see what interests Generation Zers most. Let’s take a look.
Among all topics, “mental health” got the most votes. “Spreading traditional culture” (83%) followed closely. The top choice is not unexpected. Reports on mental health problems of teenagers have increased in recent years. The rate of depression ( 抑郁) among them was nearly 25%. The attention they give to mental health shows that they care for their own well-being. When they don’t feel well, they will speak out and ask for help.
Although Generation Zers are young, they understand the power of traditional culture. They believe that China is deeply rooted in traditional culture and would like to spread it to the world. Zhao Yan, a junior 2 student from Liaoning Riwan Middle School, said, “My school set up many clubs to help students understand the importance of traditional culture. I join a paper-cutting workshop and a hanfu club. I have learned a lot. I made a tiger-shaped paper-cutting. It has not only helped me practise my handwork skills but also let me know the beauty of art. It’s our duty to pass this great art to future generations.”
Instead of only care about themselves, Generation Zers also set their eyes on social problems. Kevin Xu, a 16-year-old boy from Shenzhen, told the reporter.” I care about the prevention and control measures (防治措施) of COVID-19. I’m now studying in the UK. In February, the UK government ended quarantine ( 隔 离 ) rules. It means that COVID-19 patients can go out. This would never happen in China! I think China’s “dynamic zero-case” policy ( 动态清零政策) sounds more responsible. A country should protect its people in a pandemic.”
People seem to know little about Generation Zers. Thanks to this survey, we are able to take a closer look at “what Generation Zers care about” and paint a picture of what they are like.
61. According to the passage, what might be the percent of votes of mental health in the survey?
A. 95% B. 84% C. 55% D. 82%
62.What does the author mean by saying, “The top choice is not unexpected.” ?
A. It is happy to find teenagers pay attention to their own health.
B. The author is surprised that the mental health problems of teenagers are serious.
C. The author is surprised that the rate of depression is unexpectedly high.
D. It’s known to all that the mental health problems of teenagers are serious.
63.According to the third paragraph, what is Zhao Yan like?
A. Creative（有创造力的） and artistic. B. Lazy and selfish（自私的）.
C. Impolite and unsocial. D. Clever and expressive（富有表现力的）.
64. What can we infer(推断) from the fourth paragraph?
A. Kevin Xu studies in the UK and he is happy with everything there.
B. Kevin Xu agrees with the control measures of COVID-19 in the UK.
C. Kevin Xu thinks China’s “dynamic zero-case” policy is a wise decision.
D. Kevin Xu thinks it’s fine for COVID-19 patients to go out.
65. What is the structure of this passage?
A.①—②③④⑤ B. ①—②—③④—⑤
C.①—②③—④⑤ D. ①—②③④—⑤

Sometimes, we see some people reading books while biting (咬) their nails (指甲). We may think it is a kind of behavior that means they are focused (专心的). But in fact, it is more than that and science has proved it.
Nail biting can begin at an early age. According to the BBC, up to 45 percent of teenagers bite their nails.
There is not an exact answer to explain why people bite their nails. But most commonly, nail biting is said to be a nervous habit. It is done because of stress, boredom or excitement.
What’s more, scientists found that people with higher levels of intelligence (智力) are the ones who start biting their nails at an early age. They believe that compared with the average person, those with higher levels of intelligence may feel higher levels of stress more easily.
This habit is bad for the biters. It can give them red or sore fingertips. And long-term nail biting can affect (影响) how our nails grow.
But don’t worry! There are many ways to stop biting your nails. First, keep your nails clean. The more you focus on (集中于) taking care of your nails, the less likely you are to start biting them again. Also, when you feel stressed, try to relax. Doing exercise or having a warm bath both help.
Nail biting
How it starts
* It can start when people are 66 .
* Up to 45 percent of teenagers have the 67 .
68
* It has something to do with a nervous habit because people feel stressed,
69 or excited.
* The higher levels of intelligence people have, the higher levels of 70 they may feel, and the more likely they will bite their nails.
71
* It can give them red or 72 fingertips.
* Long-term nail biting can affect the 73 our nails grow.
Solutions
* Keep your nails clean. Focus more on 74 after your nails
* If you feel stressed, it is 75 to do exercise or have a warm bath.

An as old saying 76 , “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” I learned the meaning of this when I studied in Russia.
One day I 77 some of my Chinese friends to a famous local restaurant in Moscow. My guests and I were excited from visiting Red Square and happy about our meeting. We chatted 78 (warm) until the waiter told me that we were talking too loud. We turned our voices lower. But this didn't last long. The waiter came over to us two 79 times with the same message.
How bad an impression (印象) we must have left on the local people! It is 80 (nature )and important for a host to create a lively atmosphere (气氛). 81 , public place means you must keep your voice low. You need to be polite to others.
I 82 (feel) bad about this. Even though we tried our best, it's very difficult to develop a new habit. Russians have their own special habits. My Russian friend, Andrey always looks around and thinks for a while before 83 (leave) home. I asked him why he did this. “Aha,” Andrey said, “In Russia, people always spend about a minute going on things and plans in their minds before they leave. So they won't leave 84 necessary behind.
85 (Find) the differences between cultures is very interesting. I'd like to keep my eyes and mind open.
