When I was five years old,I played the role of the tortoise in a play.I had one line at the end
when I beat the sleeping rabbit:The slow and steady one wins the race.I've always felt that those words
guide my work.I am never the fastest,but I keep going.My goal is always the same:to learn more this
year than what I learned last year.
The goal of education is not to have much knowledge as quickly as possible,but to have much
knowledge and keep it in the brain.I don't care how"fast"students learn something as a teacher,There
may be a lot of reasons someone picks up a subject or topic more quickly: more background,knowing
the material early,more sleep that night,less stress,and so on.We deal with information
differently.When I see slow students,that's what I think of:Are those the students who will keep
learning over their entire lifetime,and leave the"quick"students far behind?
I was slow in my math classes in university.Looking back on those days,I've come to realize that
one of the ways I learn is"mistake-based".That means I learn by making mistakes. This may be slower
than other ways of learning,but when I learn something,I really learn it.
I seldom worried about"slow learners"when teaching medical students.I knew these young men
and women could learn.There is a lot of material to learn in medicine,but there is also lots of time.Like
in so many other jobs,knowledge is only a part of being a doctor.I spent decades learning enough to be
a doctor and decades more keeping up and improving.It never stops,and never should.
24.What does the author believe in terms of work?
A.Always finish what you have started.
B.Every steady step brings you progress.
C.More knowledge means more chances.
D.Having a goal in mind can get you far.
25.Which kind of students may the author like?
A.A careless but fast student.
B.A playful but talented student.
C.A slow but thoughtful student.
D.A stupid but well-behaved student.26.What does the author think of the mistake-based learning way?
A. Perfect. B.Welcome. C.Common. D.Practical.
27.In the author's opinion,what can make a good doctor?
A.High intelligence.
B.Continuous improvement.
C.The ability to learn fast.
D.Rich professional knowledge.
C
Nature can provide almost everything human beings need if we follow her rules.But if we
break the rules,she is likely to be cruel and lash out at us.
The outbreak of the COVID-19 in China and some other countries is an example.Dr Peter
Daszak,president of the US-based health organization,said,"This outbreak is a lesson for us. On a
global scale(规模），human population density(密度），wildlife diversity,and land use change are
what drive new pandemics(流行病）。＂
In ancient times,people needed to rely on nature to survive so they held it in awe(敬畏）.For
example,the American Indians believed that humans are a part of nature and nature is a part of
humans.Chinese ancients always tried to keep the harmony between nature and human beings.
However,as human beings master more knowledge and make more advanced tools,people try to
change and even conquer nature.They use more land to make buildings and capture wild and rare
animals to suit their own needs.In this process,humans gradually lose contact with nature and even
throw it out of balance.
Although we don't know for sure what first caused the COVID-19 outbreak,it's time for people to
reflect on our relationship with our planet and reconnect with this world and everything that we've
been given.After all,nature is not the place to visit.It's our home.
28.What does the phrase"lash out at"in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Control. B.Challenge. C. Destroy. D.Punish.
29.What lesson did Daszak think human beings should learn from the COVID-19 outbreak?
A.Humans should live peacefully with nature.
B.Bats are one of the most dangerous wild animals.
C.We should stop the wildlife trade around the world.
D.It's impossible to prevent new pandemics globally.
30.What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A.How human activities cause global warming.
B.How human beings break the balance of nature.
C.How human beings become their own masters.D.How humans use technology to improve their lives.
31.What is the author's purpose in writing this article?
A.To reflect on the COVID-19 outbreak
B.To explain what led to the COVID-19 outbreak.
C.To describe experts' predictions on new pandemics.
D.To compare ancient and modern attitudes toward nature.
D
Experts say that food is one of the biggest greenhouse gas polluters.The reason is the rising
demand for meat.Animal farming is responsible for 14.5 percent of global greenhouse gas methane(甲
烷）emissions(排放）. While cows are the worse contributors,pigs,sheep, donkeys and other animals
play a part as well.
Animal farming also causes land to become damaged,water to be polluted and forests to get
destroyed.That is why experts are advocating substituting(替代）some of the beef,chicken or pork
with ordinary insects!
Insects,which grow into adults within a matter of months,if not weeks,are ready for consumption
much faster than domestic(驯养的）animals.They also require much less room. use less water and
food,and produce far less greenhouse gas than animals.
Of the 1.1 million insect species worldwide,scientists have identified 1.700 as eatable. Among
them are ants,grasshoppers,grubs,and earthworms.Just like animals,each insect has a different
taste.Tree worms taste just like pork,and grubs are similar to smoked meat.
While eating insects might be a new concept for Western people,over 2 billion people worldwide
consume insects as a regular part of their diet.Besides being delicious,insects are high in protein,have
very few calories,and are tree of the saturated(饱和）fat.So eat insects. both your body and Mother
Earth will thank you for it!
32.Which of the following animals are responsible for the most global methane emissions?
A.Sheep. B.Pigs. C.Cows. D.Donkeys.
33.How is the third paragraph mainly developed?
A.By asking questions.
B.By providing examples.
C.By listing the numbers.
D.By making comparisons.
34.What do tree worms taste like?
A.Pig meat.B.Tomato soup.
C.Fresh vegetables.D.Fried chicken.Dr35.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Few people eat insects regularly.
B.Ordinary insects are high in fat.
C.Saturated fat is harmful to health.
D.Insects contain various vitamin.

About 15 years ago I started seeing a lot of 45,like toilet paper,beer cans,and empty boxes,around
