(2024·河北石家庄高二期末)
When Faith Wanjiku graduated from the Technical University of Kenya last year,she immediately enrolled at the Confucius Institute at Kenyatta University.She wanted to learn Chinese,as she believed that it would help her land a good job.She has just completed the HSK level Ⅲ exam.The HSK exam is a test of Chinese language proficiency(水平) for non-native speakers,organised by the Confucius Institute Headquarters.
However,level Ⅲ isn’t enough for Wanjiku,who plans to pass HSK level Ⅵ.“I want to increase my level of understanding and improve my spoken Mandarin,” she said.And Wanjiku isn’t alone.The Ministry of Education reported in May 2019 that the number of people taking the HSK reached 6.8 million in 2018,up 4.6% from a year earlier.
Chinese is becoming an increasingly popular choice of language to study around the world.Currently,middle school students in Russia can take a Chinese language test as part of the country’s national college entrance exam.In 2019,Zambia became the fourth country in Africa—after Kenya,Uganda,and South Africa—to introduce Chinese language to its schools.And many English-speaking countries have shown an interest in allowing their students to learn Chinese.For example,the US government announced the launch of “1 Million Strong” in 2015,a plan that aims to bring the total number of learners of Chinese to 1 million.Additionally,a 2017 survey by the British Council showed that Chinese has become one of the languages that British parents most want their children to learn.
Behind the growing popularity of Chinese language learning is the international community’s positive expectations of China’s future development,which has also created worldwide interest in learning more about Chinese civilization and culture.
“I am fascinated with China’s history,culture,and language,as well as its economic development,and I think that studying in China could provide me with some great job opportunities,as I see growing investment and cooperation between the two countries,” said Patcharamai Sawanaporn,26,a Thai student graduate of Beijing’s University of International Business and Economics.
1.Why does Faith want to learn Chinese
A.To pass the HSK level Ⅵ exam.
B.To get a good job after graduation.
C.To graduate from the Technical University of Kenya.
D.To study at the Confucius Institute at Kenyatta University.
2.What is the function of the first two paragraphs
A.To advertise for HSK exam.
B.To think highly of a good student.
C.To introduce the topic of learning Chinese.
D.To stress the importance of language learning.
3.What is the goal of the “1 Million Strong” plan
A.To get Americans to pass HSK level Ⅵ.
B.To encourage more Americans to learn Chinese.
C.To introduce Chinese to 1 million middle schools.
D.To sponsor one million Chinese schools around the world.
4.What can we infer from the passage
A.Faith has found an ideal job in China.
B.Learning Chinese is becoming more popular.
C.Students in Russia must pass a Chinese language exam.
D.The plan “1 Million Strong” has been adopted in many countries.

It is important to look after your body to help you to stay well and healthy for as long as you can.However,advice about caring for your body is conflicting and often confusing. 1 Many people abandon any effort to take care of themselves because it’s just too difficult.
2 Common sense tells us that even doing a bit more exercise or getting a bit more sleep,and not eating that second slice of cake,are likely to be helpful.The application of a little science,and quite a lot more common sense,can go a long way towards helping you to work out what’s best for you and your body.
Why should you care about your body Caring for your body makes sense. 3 Around the world,there is a growing problem of lifestyle-related diseases.These are diseases that are,effectively,caused by the way we live our lives.Most,if not all of them,are associated with not looking after our bodies.Many are associated with being overweight and not taking enough exercise,or by putting the wrong substances into our bodies.These diseases and conditions include heart conditions,high blood pressure,many forms of cancer etc. 4 However,looking after your body will go some way to helping you to live a healthier life,for longer.
There are three very important aspects to looking after your body:getting enough rest and sleep,eating well,and taking exercise. 5 But with practice,you will get better at making sure that you take care of your body.
A.It can be really hard to know what works the best.
B.You cannot,of course,avoid every illness or condition.
C.But if you do that too often,there will be consequences.
D.Knowing what to do,and actually doing it are,of course,quite different things.
E.However,just because it is puzzling does not mean the effort is not worthwhile.
F.However,a closer examination suggests that the situation is not quite that simple.
G.After all,you only get one body in this life,and you want it to last as long as possible.

Many of us were told from an early age that “you learn from your mistakes”.But is this actually true
The short answer is “yes”—failure can be a teachable moment.But learning from our mistakes is,in reality,very hard because we don’t like to fail.It doesn’t feel good,so we react to failure in impulsive and emotional ways,like giving up on a task prematurely,telling ourselves we don’t care whether we succeed,or finding fault with the task itself.This is self-protective,according to Hallgeir,a professor of psychology at the Norwegian School of Economics.Most of us want to think of ourselves as competent,he says,so when we fail “it poses a serious threat to our self-image”.
Fortunately,there is research to suggest that there are some strategies to help us overcome the emotional barriers around failure.One of them is to adopt a third-person perspective.Instead of asking “Why did I fail?”,we could ask “Why did Sam fail?”,for example.Multiple studies by psychologist Ethan Kross at the University of Michigan show that adopting a third-person perspective helps to soften our negative emotional reactions,allowing us to look at failure more objectively.
A second strategy involves offering advice to others who may be in the same position as us.This strategy led to better levels of motivation and academic success in the test groups—involving both adults and children—that were asked to give advice based on their own failures.Professors Eskreis-Winkler and Duckworth found that the satisfaction of helping others “forces people to engage with their experience and what they have learned”.
The writer Samuel Beckett once said: “fail again,fail better”.But it now seems that we should be saying: “fail again,fail smarter”.Failure is an unavoidable part of life,but by learning to overcome the emotional barriers around it,we may find the road to success is a little easier to navigate(确定方向).
4.What does the underlined word “impulsive” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A.Uncontrollable. B.Optimistic.
C.Impressive. D.Ambitious.
5.Why don’t we like to fail
A.Failure can be teachable.
B.Failure threatens our self-image.
C.Failure is an unavoidable part of life.
D.Learning from our failure is very hard.
6.Which of the following will the writer agree with
A.Failure can be avoided if we learn from it.
B.Giving advice to others can help us fail better.
C.Only those who succeed can give advice to others.
D.A third-person perspective helps us out of the bad feelings of failure.
7.What does the text focus on
A.Smarter ways to learn from failure.
B.How to fail better when we fail again.
C.Failure can let us succeed more easily.
D.Why we react to failure in emotional ways.

Ⅱ.阅读理解(共4小题;每小题2.5分,共10分)
As my plane landed in Pamplona,Spain,I couldn’t help thinking,“I’m crazy about going abroad and taking classes in Spanish.” My biggest fear was whether I would be able to communicate with Spanish speakers,and how I would be able to adapt to a culture that is different in so many ways from American culture.
I had attended classes in Spanish and talked with native students for over a month but now it got better.When I first started,it was easy to get frustrated when I didn’t understand parts of what my professor was saying,or to feel embarrassed when I had to ask someone to repeat themselves many times.However,people often politely corrected me when I made a mistake,and also offered support and words of encouragement.Noticing my own progress through my increased ability to have a conversation has made the frustration dissolve.And it helped me reach my biggest piece of advice to anyone facing the same fear: to force yourself to speak as much as possible.
Another challenge I faced was culture shock when I arrived in Spain.As someone used to stores always being open in Seattle,I’ve had to get used to most stores being closed during afternoon hours and on Sundays.Plans are made much more slowly,and usually at the last minute,which for someone who values organization and certainty as much as I do,was difficult to get used to.The best way I found to deal with the culture shock was to change my views.I’ve grown to appreciate the Spanish attitude that there is more to life than work.Family and friends are important as well,and having so much time off allows life outside work to be enjoyed.
Living abroad is always frightening,especially when the language and culture are completely foreign.There will always be challenges,frustrations,and problems.However,learning to deal with them and appreciate the journey has been one of the most valuable things I’ve learned while abroad.
1.What can be learned about the author before she began her life in Spain
A.She was well-prepared.
B.She was concerned about her life there.
C.She really looked forward to the new culture.
D.She had worked very hard at learning Spanish.
2.What does the underlined word “dissolve” in paragraph 2 mean
A.Build up.
B.Grow again.
C.Disappear slowly.
D.Display clearly.
3.What did the author do to deal with the culture shock
A.She tried hard to make friends.
B.She lived the way the locals did.
C.She made plans in advance carefully.
D.She turned her attention to her study.
4.What does the author’s story show
A.Culture shock can be too hard to go through.
B.Living abroad isn’t as good as people think.
C.Living abroad can be challenging but it is worth doing.
D.Today’s people should learn to accept different cultures.

(2024·广东深圳高二联考)
Many international students studying abroad in America have several supposed ideas about American culture.After visiting the country,many international students showed the culture shock they received in America.Here are some culture shocks in America that most of the international students came across.
It’s surprising to note that kids,the youth and adults refer to each other with their first names.This is a very uncommon sight.Many international students might find it surprising and take time to adjust to this tradition.
Another culture shock is that,in America,there could be only one or two classes a day.Usually,they’re conducted in the afternoon or in the evening.This means the students get enough time to sleep late,wake up around noon and have time for different chores(琐事).Besides,having convenience in the schedule of classes,students also enjoy long hours of breaks.
Among the many culture shocks in America,multiple languages are quite common there.Many international students would move to America,believing that the only language is English.However,that’s not the case.The citizens commonly speak languages such as Spanish,French,German,Chinese and others. So if you’re comfortable with any of the above-mentioned languages,you might get surprises.
Many international students are used to using kilograms,metres,litres,degrees centigrade as the units of weight,length,volume,temperature.But they might be confused to see a different metric system in America.There,pounds,feet and Fahrenheit are usually used as units for measurements.This system is quite puzzling to comprehend at the beginning for many international students.
Many international students might find various culture shocks in America depending on the background they come from.Thus,they may need a long time to adjust themselves to the unfamiliar environment.
1.What may make international students surprised at school
A.Adults are often referred to with their titles.
B.The number of classes is fewer than expected.
C.Kids refer to adults with their family names.
D.Students can freely do different chores in class.
2.Why do international students care little about language barriers in America
A.English there is easy to understand.
B.All of them can speak English fluently.
C.There are several other official languages.
D.They may be able to use their native languages there.
3.What does the underlined word “they” refer to in paragraph 5
A.Systems.   B.Units.
C.International students.   D.Americans.
4.What is the best title for the text
A.Multicultural Experiences Are Waiting for You
B.International Students Are Welcome to America
C.Culture Shocks International Students May Experience in America
D.Reasons Why There Are a Large Number of Culture Shocks in America

Wind power is a powerful tool for reducing carbon emissions that cause climate change.The turbines(涡轮机),however,can be a threat to birds,which is why experts are looking for ways to prevent the danger.
A company in Boulder,Colorado has produced a camera-and-AI-based technology that can recognize eagles and other birds as they approach in enough time to shut off turbines in their flight paths.Their tool,called IdentiFlight,can detect 5.62 times more bird flights than human observers alone,with an accuracy rate of 94 percent.Using high-precision(高精度的) visual sensors,the system calculates a bird’s speed and flight path,and if it is on a crash path with a turbine,a signal is sent to shut that turbine down.
Winning an award for its performance in Australia,the tracking system was set up in 2018 and was found to cut eagle deaths at the Cattle Hill Wind Farm by more than four-fifths.Each day signals have shut down their movements an average of 400 times—across the field of 48 turbines—for 2 to 3 minutes each time.
Across the globe,Duke Energy in Wyoming is employing the same technology with impressive results at its Top of the World Windpower Project,which was the first wind site to use the technology.In 2014,IdentiFlight’s maker,Boulder Imaging,used Top of the World for testing after eagles were killed by the turbines,which left Duke Energy in violation(违反) of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.47 units made of eight wide-angle cameras now constantly pass cross the sky to monitor all 110 turbines.
Bird lover Garry George admits,“Our own science shows that climate change is by far the biggest threat to birds and the places wildlife need to survive.IdentiFlight will make it possible to fight the worst effects of climate change and protect the birds we love in the process.”
5.What can IdentiFlight do
A.Stop the turbines when birds are spotted.
B.Prevent birds from choosing a crash path.
C.Identify potential threats to wind turbines.
D.Let the turbines make full use of wind power.
6.What does the data in paragraph 3 show about IdentiFlight
A.It is widely used.
B.It received a warm welcome.
C.It is very effective.
D.It has a really long service life.
7.Why did Duke Energy work with Boulder Imaging in 2014
A.It broke the relevant law on bird protection.
B.It responded to the call of Boulder Imaging.
C.It intended to improve its wide-angle cameras.
D.It followed in the Cattle Hill Wind Farm’s footsteps.
8.What is Garry George’s attitude to IdentiFlight
A.Reserved. B.Approving.
C.Uncertain. D.Unconcerned.

Why Is Eating Colourful Food Good for You
Most of us are faced with the same choice numerous times a day: what to eat.Along with price,accessibility and preference,we’ll often use a food’s healthfulness to help us make a decision. 1
It’s widely accepted by researchers that we need a varied diet. 2 The proof may be in the Mediterranean diet,which contains a lot of fruit,vegetables and healthy fats such as extra virgin olive oil,and is frequently rated the healthiest diet by scientists.
Eating lots of colours may lower your risk of missing out on all vital nutrients.“If we’re missing a colour of the rainbow,we may be missing a function of that food,” says Minich.This is because plant foods contain thousands of natural compounds,which have anti-infiammatory(抗炎的) benefits.
3 Blue and purple foods,including blueberries,have a high content of the plant anthocyanin(花青素),which has been linked to lowering the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.Flavones(黄酮),which gives foods a yellow colour,may reduce the risk of heart disease.
A research fellow at Harvard T.H.Chan School of Public Health says eating a colourful diet can also help people avoid possible side effects of eating too much of one food.“ 4 For example,research has found that orange juice is associated with a lower risk of cognitive decline,but too much intake is associated with type 2 diabetes,” she says.Although,this is because of its sugar content,not flavones.
Eating a rainbow diet may also be complex. 5 We could tie ourselves in knots.We also need to eat from other food groups to get all the nutrients we need,such as protein.
A.Food is very complex.
B.A varied diet is packed with different vegetables.
C.It could be really tricky to get every colour every day.
D.But how do we know we’re getting enough nutrients
E.Different coloured foods come with different benefits.
F.However,is colour the best guide to getting all the nutrients
G.And one way to do this is by eating all the colours of the rainbow.

A Missouri woman is following in her father’s footsteps—training to be a heart surgeon—and recently,she and her father got the chance to perform surgery together.
Dr.Sophia Roberts,30,is a general surgery resident physician at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St.Louis,Missouri.Her dad,Dr.Harold Roberts Jr.,66,has been practicing medicine for the last 32 years.In May,Roberts and his daughter teamed up for an aortic valve(主动脉瓣) replacement.
“I told Sophia that I had this case coming and she went out and read about it.And she’d never seen it,much less assisted on it,” Harold Roberts recalled.
Even though the case was new to her,Sophia Roberts jumped at the chance.She had wanted to spend a month learning and operating with her surgeon father back in 2020,but their plans fell through for all kinds of reasons.So this was the shot she’d been waiting for.
When the day came,Harold Roberts was pleased to have his eldest child by his side and said it was a “really nice thing” to work together with her.The elder Roberts said his daughter helped open the patient’s chest and “she did a great job”.“It was really very smooth.I wouldn’t have done the case any better if I had another heart surgeon assisting me,” he said.
Sophia Roberts,who served as her dad’s first assistant,said it was a memorable experience but also said once the surgery got underway,she was in the zone.
“It’s very special that I was operating with him,but quite frankly,I could have been operating with anyone—like all of a sudden,you’re just focused on that patient and making the operation go smoothly,” she said.
Harold and Sophia Roberts reported their patient has done great since the surgery and was even excited the father-daughter team would be taking care of her.
1.What can we know from paragraph 2
A.Sophia is a freshman at a medical school.
B.Harold Roberts is an experienced physician.
C.Sophia is the physician for her father’s operation.
D.Harold Roberts is teaching Sophia to be a doctor.
2.What was Sophia’s attitude towards the coming team work with her father
A.Full of expectation.
B.Slightly concerned.
C.A bit disappointed.
D.Much too anxious.
3.What did Sophia concentrate on during the operation
A.Why her father performed differently from other physicians.
B.How she could put her theory into practice in the operation.
C.How they could perform the operation most successfully.
D.What caused the patient to suffer from such a heart illness.
4.Which can best describe Harold Roberts about Sophia’s performance
A.Proud. B.Annoyed.
C.Ashamed. D.Envious.

These days,we wonder a lot about why social networks go bad,full of terrible behavior.But it’s equally illuminating(有启发性的) to ask about the ones that work well.These communities share one characteristic: They’re small.Generally they have only a few hundred members,or maybe a couple thousand if they’re really popular.
And smallness makes all the difference.First,these groups have a sense of cohesion(凝聚性).The members have joined specifically to talk to people with whom they share an enthusiasm.That creates a type of social glue,a context and a mutual respect that can’t exist on a highly public site like Twitter,where anyone can crash any public conversation.
More important,small groups typically have people who work to keep interactions polite.Sometimes this will be the organizer or an active,long-term participant.They’ll greet newcomers to make them feel welcome,draw out quiet people and solve conflict when they see it emerge.But what’s crucial is that these key members model good behavior,illustrating by example the community’s best standards.The Internet thinkers Heather Gold,Kevin Marks and Deb Schultz put a name to this: “tummeling,” after the Yiddish “tummeler,” who keeps a party going.
None of these positive elements can exist in a massive,public social network,where millions of people can get into each other’s spaces.That’s why perhaps the single biggest problem facing social media is that our mainstream networks are too interested in scale.But scale breaks social relations.
Is there any way to approach this problem I’ve never heard of any simple solution.Strict antitrust laws for the big networks would be useful,to encourage competition among networks.But this likely wouldn’t fully solve the problem of scale,since many users fancy scale too.Longing for massive,global audiences,they will crowd into whichever site offers the hugest.Many of the well-known solutions to social media might help,but all ignore the biggest problem of all: Bigness itself.
5.Why do members from small online groups get along well
A.They are familiar with each other.
B.They are mostly highly educated.
C.They know the importance of safety.
D.They have some shared hobbies.
6.Which of the following belongs to “tummeling”?
A.A person organizes a successful birthday party.
B.A newcomer joins an organization.
C.An active team member starts a conflict.
D.A conversation organizer encourages others to speak.
7.What is the author’s attitude to large social networks getting polite
A.Favorable. B.Pessimistic.
C.Curious. D.Uncaring.
8.What can be the best title for the text
A.Inappropriate Behavior Online
B.The Small Things That Truly Matter

With governments across the world supporting native languages,it may seem like people in power are finally beginning to accept linguistic diversity(语言多样性).But there’s still a long way to go.
In Mexico,for example,speakers of native languages still face challenges that Spanish speakers may not.According to Mexico News Daily,speakers of native languages in the state of Chiapas are still influenced by Castilianization practices,which serve to change these communities to mainly Spanish-speaking ones.Although Mexico is home to many native languages,like Nahuatl and Mixtec,most of these languages have become endangered because of Spanish’s predominance(主导地位).
A recent survey done by researchers at Western Kentucky University tries to explore the public’s attitudes toward native language education in the country.Although the Mexican government’s efforts to protect native languages have been far from satisfactory,it appears that the Mexican public is generally quite supportive of efforts to revitalize(使恢复生机) native languages.
87% of respondents(调查对象) to the survey said they agreed with the statement that “the presence of native people is important to Mexican culture.” The researchers also asked respondents about their thoughts on teaching native languages and English in school.Most of the respondents agreed that it was important to teach these as subjects in school,though native languages received a bit less support than English(88.4% of respondents supported teaching English in school compared to 70.8% for native languages).
The researchers noted that the Mexican government has made some efforts in recent years to support native languages,such as the National Institute of Native Languages,which provides a variety of online courses to help people learn native languages.Now,Nahuatl is one of the few languages native to Mexico that is not endangered—most of the country’s native languages have less than 100,000 native speakers.
1.What do we know about speakers of native languages in Chiapas
A.They are encouraged to speak Spanish.
B.They are treated the same as Spanish speakers.
C.They have made a challenge to Spanish’s predominance.
D.They have had great success in protecting their language.
2.What does the recent survey find about the Mexican public
A.They care little about native languages.
B.They want to keep native languages alive.
C.They think native languages are more important than English.
D.They support schools specializing in teaching native languages.
3.Why did the researchers mention the National Institute of Native Languages
A.To recognize the Mexican government’s efforts.
B.To share its creative way of protecting Nahuatl.
C.To introduce it as a language training center.
D.To stress its importance to Mexican culture.
4.What is the best title for the text
A.Mixtec,One of the Most Spoken Native Languages in Mexico
B.Nahuatl,an Endangered Native Language in Mexico
C.Mexicans Support Native Language Education

Robots have entered ordinary people’s life widely since the past century.People have different attitudes towards robots.
Some people are in favour of the application of robots.Robots are beneficial due to their high working efficiency.They are able to work faster and more efficiently,which increases productivity.Not only are the robots productive,but also they can help the recovery of patients.If a person’s leg gets injured,the devices equipped on his leg could help him walk even faster than before.
However,some people are opposed to the application of robots.They argue that using robots massively could lead to fewer job opportunities.In some cases,robots will replace people’s position.In some factories,many employees get dismissed.
Personally,the advantages of robots outweigh the disadvantages.We should make use of robots properly.Unit 2 训练8

An immersive and slow-paced Citywalk is becoming trendy across China.In contrast to rushing past overcrowded tourist landmarks,the new trend has emerged(出现) as a popular alternative to explore busy markets,ancient streets,and charming alleys at a leisurely pace.
The appeal of Citywalk caters particularly to the younger generation often caught up in demanding work schedules.As evidenced by the increasing popularity of hashtags like “Citywalk for vacation” on a lifestyle sharing platform,with a staggering 465 million views and nearly 464,600 engagements,the trend is truly capturing unbelievable attention.
Citywalk,or meandering through the urban landscapes,means the act of walking freely along city streets unburdened by exhaustive plans.It offers people an avenue to intimately experience urban culture and local traditions.Citywalk is not merely about sightseeing.It creates an opportunity for social interactions and deep connections with the cities.Citywalk routes are tailored to the specific interests of both out-of-town tourists and locals.For tourists,the focus is on sharing local customs and traditions,while for locals,discussions revolve around the city’s past,present,and future.The growing trend of Citywalk reflects a changing attitude towards life,embracing(欣然接受) a warmer,more relaxed,and slower-paced lifestyle.
As Citywalk expands beyond first-tier cities like Beijing,Shanghai,and Guangzhou,to second-and third-tier cities across the country,it brings fresh opportunities for the tourism industry,in such areas as dining,shopping,and accommodation.
Governments in Beijing and Shandong have recognized the potential of Citywalk,incorporating it into their action plans to promote cultural tourism and leisure activities.In Shanghai,public bus lines specially designed have been introduced to elevate the overall Citywalk for participants.
“By slowing down and delving into(探究) the narrow alleys,observing the lives of city residents,and immersing oneself in the context of museums and art galleries,one is entitled to embrace the pleasure of life,” said Luo Jun,a cultural tourism enthusiast.

Chances are that you can name a few animals that are facing extinction.But what about plants With some 40% of plant species under threat of extinction—and given humankind’s reliance on the plant world—one might think there’d be more urgency around protecting them.Yet in the United States,for example,plants receive less than 4% of federal funding for endangered species,despite composing 57% of the endangered species list.
Given the current state of the planet,what we desperately need is some way to engage people to care about such matters.Now a paper published by Oxford University Press might have found a way to increase awareness about plants.How By watching nature documentaries(纪录片).
For the paper,they focused on The Green Planet,the 2022 BBC plant-focused documentary,which was watched by nearly 5 million people in the United Kingdom.
To figure out if the documentary engaged viewers enough to want to learn more,the researchers looked at people’s online behavior around the time of the broadcast.The researchers noted a substantial effect of The Green Planet on viewers’ awareness and interest in the portrayed plant species.Wikipedia data showed this as well.Almost a third (31.3%) of the Wikipedia pages related to plants mentioned in The Green Planet showed increased visits the week after the broadcast.The investigators also note that people were more likely to do online searches for plants that enjoyed more screen time on The Green Planet.
“I think that increasing public awareness of plants is essential and fascinating,” said the paper’s lead author,Joanna Kacprzyk.“In this study,we show that nature documentaries can increase plant awareness among the audience.Our results also suggest that the viewers found certain plant species particularly attractive.These plants could be used for promoting plant conservation efforts and reducing the alarming loss of plant biodiversity(生物多样性).”
5.What can we learn from the first paragraph
A.60% of animal species are dying out.
B.Endangered plants are more easily neglected.
C.Endangered animals are not financially supported.
D.Human beings rely more on animals than plants.
6.What is the benefit of watching nature documentaries
A.Changing people’s online behavior.
B.Increasing viewers’ interest in nature.
C.Investigating search preference of the public.
D.Engaging audience with plant preservation.
7.Which is one factor that influenced how much people searched for certain plants online after watching The Green Planet
A.How colorful they were.
B.How rare they were.
C.How much screen time they had.
D.How useful they were.
8.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A.Alarming Loss of Plant Biodiversity
B.Saving Plants,Saving the Planet
C.Nature Documentaries Promote Plant Awareness
D.Green Planet and Endangered Species

How to Learn Several Languages at a Time
Learning a new language is a challenging and wonderfully rewarding experience.At some point,you may find yourself needing or wanting to learn several languages at the same time. 1 However,it also allows you to challenge your brain and take advantage of the similarities and differences between the languages you’re learning.
2 If you have a choice,choose to learn one language that is easier for you,and another or others that are more difficult.An easier language will be one that is similar to your native language or another language that you know,while a more difficult language will be one that is less similar.
Make one language your priority. 3 This way,at the end of your hard work,you are more likely to be skilled in at least one of your languages,rather than only knowing a small amount of each of them.
Translate between the languages you’re learning.One way to keep all the languages you are learning active in your mind is to try translating between them,rather than translating them back to your native language. 4
Add all of the languages to a language-learning app or website.Several language-learning apps and websites,such as Duolingo,Memrise,Clozemaster,Anki and Lingvist allow you to add several languages at once. 5 This way,when you are on-the-go,you have quick access to a way to study any of the languages you are trying to learn.
A.This process can be very difficult.
B.Choose languages that vary in difficulty.
C.Study the same topic in all of the languages.
D.You can use a website to find a group like this.
E.This can help you understand the languages on a deeper level.
F.It is helpful to give one of the languages the most time and attention.
G.Download an app,and then add all of your languages,if they are available on it.
