    Today, the original Beetle has largely disappeared from the world’s roads since Volkswagen stopped producing it in Germany in 1978. But the instantly recognizable car was once everywhere. From the 1970s to the 1990s, more than 21 million Beetles were produced worldwide. Many adults in their 40s or above have a story about the Beetle, or at least a memory.
    Part of its universal appeal is its unique look. There’s something about the car that just makes people smile: its happy shape, its cheerful colors, and perhaps its small size. However, the smiles that Beetles evoke in people are not simply due to their design. It has a character almost. It has a sort of soul in a way. It’s beyond a machine. For the better part of a century this car has been a part in people’s lives. Seeing these cars on the road is like a time capsule. It opens people to memories and stories that might otherwise go untold. By allowing us to travel back in time, they remind us of what’s important. In today’s world, this car represents something very basic and earthy and genuine. Exactly the kind of travel we need right now.
    “My parents had three, a white one, then a red one, and then an orange one. It was the car I grew up with, ”said actor Ewan McGregor. “They would put us in the back of the Beetle in Scotland and drive to France for camping holidays in summer, My first car was a 1978 Beetle and now I own two, parked at my home in Los Angeles. ”
    McGregor thinks the car’s future is electric. He has recently turned his 1978 model into a fully electric car. “Moving forward, maybe we’ll just have to think: smaller cars, low emissions (排放) , and something that makes us feel happy,” he says.
    24. When was the production of Beetles stopped in Germany?
    A. In the 1990s. B. In the 1980s. C. In the late 1970s. D. In the early 1960s.
    25. Which of the following best explains“evoke”underlined in paragraph 2?
    A. To keep an unpleasant feeling in one’s mind.
    B. To find out information about one’s character.
    C. To bring a feeling or a memory into one’s mind.
    D. To ask somebody to do something in a rude way.
    26. Why does Ewan McGregor own two Beetles?
    A. He wants to be reminded of his childhood.
    B. They are used to decorate his new home.
    C. He has too many children for just one car.
    D. His parents have left one of their cars to him.
    27. In which section of a newspaper does this text most probably appear?
    A. Advertisement. B. Lifestyle. C. Environment. D. Economy.

    C
    Our city is in a sorry state. Outdoor pollution kills 4. 2 million people a year, according to the World Health Organization. Concrete and tarmac(柏油碎石材料) absorb the sun’ s rays rather than reflecting them back into space, and also replace plants which would otherwise cool things down. The continuous spread of buildings and roads thus turns urban areas into heat islands, discomforting residents and worsening dangerous heatwaves.
    A possible answer is trees. Their leaves may destroy at least some chemical pollutants(污染 物) and provide shade. In 2019, researchers at the University of Wisconsin found that American cities need 40% tree coverage to cut urban heat back meaningfully. Unfortunately, not all cities— and especially not those springing up in the world’s poor countries— are blessed with parks, private gardens or even street trees in sufficient numbers.
    Miyawaki Akira, a plant ecologist at Yorkhama National University, in Japan, has developed a new way to increase unban greening. It is to plant miniature simulacra (微型仿制品) of natural forests in the unpromising abandoned areas. Dr Miyawaki has organised the planting of more than
    1, 500 of these miniature forests, first in Japan, then in other parts of the world. Others are following in his footsteps. India is particularly keen. In Mumbai, more than 200, 000 trees are found in Miyawaki forests throughout the city. Hyderabad started growing the largest individual forest of the lot in 2020.
    The Miyawaki method will never work out on a large scale. Relying on nature and the passage of time is probably the best for replanting extensive areas of damaged woodlands. But if your goal is to better your immediate neighborhood, rather than to save the planet from global warming, then Dr Miyawaki might well be your man.
    28. What do we know from Paragraph1?
    A. Plants are replaced to cool things down.
    B. Buildings and roads make residents comfortable.
    C. Urban areas are becoming pollution hot spots.
    D. Concrete and tarmac reflect heat back into space.
    29. What does the research in 2019 imply?
    A. Plants provide shade for urban residents.
    B. Tree coverage needs to be further expanded.
    C. The situation in urban areas gets steadily worse.
    D. Trees cut down chemical pollution from factories.
    30. What can we learn about the Miyawaki method?
    A. It originated from India. B. It takes effect as expected.
    C. It makes no difference to Mumbai. D. It is finding increasing favour.
    31. What is the passage mainly about?
    A. A practical strategy to save our planet.
    B. A flexible schedule to settle a challenge.
    C. A partial solution to the lack of urban greening.
    D. An effective measure to prevent global warming.

    D
    People’ s first memories are all autobiographical(自传式的), or memories of significant experiences in their lives, and these events typically didn’t happen before the age of 2 or 3. In fact, most people can’t remember things from the first few years of their lives— a phenomenon researchers have called infantile amnesia(失忆症).
    However, research suggests that infants(婴儿) can form other kinds of memories. Within the first few days of life, infants can recall their own mother’s face and tell it from the face of a stranger. A few months later, infants can show that they remember lots of familiar faces by smiling most at the ones they see most often.
    But if so, why do people experience infantile amnesia? Though it still isn’t clear whether it’s because we can’t form autobiographical memories, or whether we just have no way to retrieve(找回) them, scientists have a few guesses.
    One is that autobiographical memories require you to have some sense of self. Researchers have tested this ability using a mirror recognition task called the rouge test. It involves marking a baby’s nose with a spot of red lipstick.
    Researchers then place the infant in front of a mirror. Infants younger than18 months just smile at the baby in the reflection, not showing any evidence of recognizing themselves or the red mark on their face. Between 18 and 24 months, infants touch their own nose, even looking embarrassed, suggesting that they connect the red dot in the mirror with their own face and start to form some sense of self.
    Another possible explanation is that because infants don’t have language until later in the second year of life, they can’t form descriptions about their own lives that they can later recall. Finally, the hippocampus, which is the region of the brain that’s largely responsible for memory, isn’t fully developed in the infancy period.
    Scientists will continue to investigate how these factors might contribute to infantile amnesia.
    32. What can infants do in their first few months?
    A. Recognize familiar faces. B. Remember a series of events.
    C. Identify their own reflections. D. Memorize their family members.
    33. What does the rouge test show about babies between 18 and 24 months?
    A. They like looking in the mirror.
    B. They ignore the marks on their faces.
    C. They see their reflections as themselves.
    D. They enjoy playing with their reflections.
    34. What could be a cause of infantile amnesia according to the text?
    A. Infants’ lack of social skills.
    B. Infants’ undeveloped hippocampus.
    C. Infants’ inability to recall memories.
    D. Infants’ unusual autobiographical memories.
    35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
    A. How do kids form their memories?
    B. When do babies start remembering?
    C. How can we retrieve lost memories?
    D. Why can’t we remember being a baby?

    阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
    Every day, we face a series of opportunities to do the right thing. Sometimes we seize those moments; other times, we don’t. 36 And what drives some people to take the moral high ground?
    Jessie Sun interviewed 952 people about the motivations for moral behavior and the changes they wished to make in their lives in order to become more morally good.
    When we think about morals, we often think about making “personal sacrifices” for the greater good. In Sun’s study, she found that nearly half of the participants said they were most encouraged to become more moral for themselves. 37 And fewer participants said that they most wanted to benefit friends and people in general.
    Moreover, many people believe that acting more morally—for example, being more thoughtful, more open-minded—would increase their own well-being. The more they believed that their moral change would have positive results for themselves, the more they reported being encouraged to make that change. 38 That was the most surprising finding in the study.
    39 Interestingly, participants generally expected possible harms to themselves and others if they were honest. You can imagine that some people regularly tell white lies to save other people’s feelings, and they believe it would be hurtful if they were honest.
    Researchers also asked people about the things they’d like to improve about themselves. If they’re extremely shy, they usually want to become more comfortable in social situations. But if they aren’t especially honest or thoughtful, they usually won’t improve those aspects of their lives on purpose. 40
    A. How can we become more moral?
    B. So, why do we make these choices?
    C. Being moral just isn’t what most people consider first.
    D. Being moral means different things to different people.
    E. But people see some disadvantages of being moral, too.
    F. In short, many people want to become more moral for their own benefits.
    G. Sixteen percent said that they most wanted to become more moral for their family.

    Growing up, I wanted to be just like my mom. She was kind and caring, and always made people comfortable in her presence. For years she was a volunteer in our community. I love going to the local nursing home to help with her when I was a child. However, once I became a teenager, I was too caught up in my adolescent world to worry about helping others.
    One particular summer day when I was 12, Mom came into my room and told me to get up and meet her at the car. But I had planned to spend the day at the lake with friends. Why did she have to ruin everything? At last, I made my way outside with my mother. Angry and annoyed, I climbed into the car and shoot the door loudly. I sat in silence, too upset to talk. “Tasha, do you know where we are going? ” Mom asked calmly. I remained silent. “Sweetheart, we’re going to the children’s shelter. I have been there before and I think it would benefit you, ” she explained.
    I feel a pain slowly form in my stomach. How was I supposed to help there?
    When we reached the shelter, I was rather surprised. As we approached the front door, wind bells played a calming tune while trees and flowers welcomed us. Maybe this wasn’t going to be so.
    Mom rang the doorbell. We were led to the front room, where all of the children were playing. Toys were spread out across the floor. I noticed a baby whose body was seriously wounded. Most of the children had noticeable physical scars such as cuts, burns and scratches. What a terrible life they must have had before they moved here! My heart sank. As I was looking around, I felt a gentle pull on my shirt.
