Children’s books for those under age five often embrace science. Well before they enter their first classroom, children eagerly explore their environment in search of answers to an endless stream of why and how questions.

Roughly 1,100 books begin with “How do...”. Of those, approximately one tenth are about engineering and science (e.g. How Do Airplanes Fly? and How Do Animals Move?). In that tenth, the vast majority (well over 90%) are children’s books.

Children seem to be more interested in the hows and whys of the world than adults. A burst of research in the last decade confirms the apparent pattern in book titles. From three to six years of age, children ask many how and why questions, but then those questions decrease quickly during the elementary school years and beyond.

Most children’s spontaneous (自发的) love of science fades by adulthood. Is it a problem with science itself? Despite some claims to that, the real cause is a decline in wonder. Wonder is the engine that drives exploration and discovery, and when it disappears, a strong feeling of love for the workings of the world melts away.

Every child wants to know how the world works. We are all born with wonder — with curious minds, fascinated by the world around us. Young children and even infants are naturally engaging in intuitive science every day, often with complex methods.

This loss of wonder is not because we suddenly understand everything — we don’t — but because distrust, disengagement, and denial can become embedded into many aspects of our lives. Besides, the consequences (影响) of this loss of wonder are profound. Because loss of wonder can lead to especially poor understandings of underlying mechanisms, we become vulnerable to misinformation and manipulation (操纵) by others. Even worse, abandonment of wonder will take away the rewarding joy of discovery from us.

This loss of wonder, however, is not inevitable. We can all take simple action to reawaken that initial spark and live lives lit by wonder.

24. When are how and why questions asked less frequently?

　 A. When they attend secondary schools.

　 B. When they are more than three years old.

　 C. When they are three to six years of age.

　 D. During the elementary school years and beyond.

25. Why does most children's love of science fade by adulthood?

　 A. Because science becomes too complicated for them.

　 B. Because their childhood wonder declines over time.

　 C. Because they gradually lose their interest in science.

　 D. Because adults are too busy to spend time on science.

26. What genre does this passage belong to?

　 A. A narrative writing (记叙文).          B. A practical writing.

　 C. An expository writing (说明文).         D. An argumentative essay.

27. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

　 A. The loss of wonder results in poor understanding.

　 B. The consequences of the loss of wonder are profound.

　 C. We can hardly explore the world without wonder.

　 D. We can still regain the lost wonder.

C

The garment (服装) industry is one of the largest carbon polluters on planet Earth, and one of the greatest producers of waste. Three out of five of the 100 billion garments made in 2018 ended up in landfill within a year. Toxic chemicals land in the environment and worker communities, and the production of cotton uses up vast amounts of water.

The business model of fast fashion has led to an enormous increase in the amounts of clothes that are produced, sold, and thrown. According to McKinsey, clothing production doubled from 2000 to 2014, and the average consumer buys 60% more garments each year. At the same time, these clothes are kept only half as long as they were a mere fifteen years ago.

About 100 billion items of clothing are produced each year; that's nearly 14 items for every human being on the planet. Some of those never even reach the consumers; it caused a minor anger when in 2018 a luxury brand admitted to burning clothes just to protect the brand.

Yet, with clothes being so cheap, people do not wear at least 50 percent of their wardrobes, according to this study. The clothing and footwear industries together account for more than 8 percent of global climate influence, greater than all international airline flights and oceanic shipping trips combined. Water usage for growing cotton has led to huge lack of water, and coloring and treatment of garments make up 17%—20% of all industrial water pollution.

An industry that makes billions on the use of the planet does not suddenly become more sustainable (可持续的) when they start using organic cotton, or start burning their unsold goods (remember—people worked really hard for very little money on those clothes!) as a green fuel…

28. What does the underlined word “Toxic” mean in paragraph 1?

　 A. Colorful.　   B.Enormous.   C. Beneficial.   D. Poisonous.

29. Why do people throw so many clothes away?

　 A. The new model clothing change too slowly.

　 B. Some luxury clothes are cheap.

　 C. There are more new clothes every year.

　 D. They want to make full use of green fuel.

30. What may garment waste influence least?

　 A. Fishing.   B. Climate.   C. Transport.   D. Agriculture.

31. What is the text mainly about?

　 A. Clothing waste.      B. Sources of pollution.

　 C. The garment industry.     D. Effects of environmental pollution.

D

Despite the life-saving COVID-19 vaccines (疫苗), so many people died in the second year of the pandemic in the US that the nation’s life expectancy dropped for a second year in a row last year, according to a new analysis.

The analysis of government statistics found US life expectancy fell by just under half a year in 2021, adding to a dramatic drop in life expectancy that occurred in 2020. Dr. Steven Woolf, a professor of population health and health expert at Virginia Commonwealth University, who helped conduct the analysis, said many of the deaths occurred in people in the prime of their lives. And Woolf added that it drove the overall US life expectancy to fall to 76.6 years—the lowest in at least 25 years.

“Shame on the US,” said Noreen Goldman, a professor at Princeton University. The 2021 drop came after US life expectancy fell in 2020, dropping by almost two years. It’s unclear why this happened, but Woolf and others thought it may be due in part to some Americans more likely to live in states with fewer restrictions, so they let down their guard more, while often refusing to get vaccinated.

“The deaths that occurred in 2021 were a product not only of a lack of COVID-19 vaccines, which was a factor, but also being in places that didn’t observe policies like masking and social distancing that prevented spread of the virus, which was the main reason,” Woolf said.

The 2021 drop also widened the gap in life expectancy between the US and other countries, the analysis found. That was due primarily to lower vaccination rates in the US, researchers said. The researchers also said a big part of that was fewer restrictions and more vaccine hesitation in the US, which resulted in lower vaccination rates and a much higher death number. The other health problems like heart attack and overweight also played a role, they said.

“We spent a fortune on medical care and we’re a high-income country. Our government should be able to do far better,” Goldman said.

32. What was America’s life expectancy before COVID-19?

　 A. About 79.1 years.       B. About 78.6 years.

　 C. About 77.1 years.       D. About 76.6 years.

33. What played an important role in leading the high death rate in the US?

　 A. Lack of medicine.       B. Powerful virus.

　 C. Violation of anti-epidemic policies.   D. The government's negative act.

34. Which column of a magazine can this text come from?

　 A. Politics.    B. Science.   C. Education.   D. Health.

35. What is Goldman’s attitude toward the government?

　 A. Unsatisfied.   B. Objective.   C. Supportive.   D. Unconcerned.

　　根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

New Year’s resolutions are usually like some of those promises that are meant to be broken. The word “New” in the new year, puts a lot of pressure on starting over and turning a new leaf. But you must remember you cannot just become a different person overnight when the clock strikes twelve.   36  . Instead of making resolutions that cause you stress, anxiety or more pain, set out this year by making resolutions that will encourage self-care.

To start fresh this New Year’s Day, here are a few tips setting realistic new year's resolutions in order to avoid the burden of disappointment next year.

Choose a very specific goal

Vague plans like “lose weight”, “exercise more” or “write more” are goals with no teeth. They are vague plans and desires, and are very easy to explain away due to how vague they are.   37  . Such goals with a certain task weight-age, are much more doable than vague goals.

  38  .

Once you have chosen your goals, make a very detailed plan of how you will reach that goal. Having a plan and a pathway can help you visualize your progress and won’t make you impatient for immediate results. That way you will have already visualized what progress would look like for you in say, 3 months, 5 months, 7 months or every day depending on your goals.

Get yourself a social tribe

In today’s social media world, it is easy to find a group of like-minded individuals interested in sharing your goal. Get yourself a social group like this. However, just as there is a bright side to having a social tribe, the pitfall (隐患) is the pressure. Don’t get consumed by social media and what others are doing.   39  .

Accept failure and forgive yourself

  40  . Accept this failure; own it and forgive yourself. Being harsh on yourself will only do you more harm so instead learn from what went wrong and instead of quitting the resolution at the end of next year, see it through until you reach your goal.

Standing in the store, I looked at the supplies seriously. With gift cards in my hand, I saw easels (画架), brushes of all kinds and paper of all sizes.
