21．（6分）Dear Miss Hanff，
You will be glad to know that the two boxes of eggs and the tins of tongue have all arrived safely and once again we all wish to thank you most sincerely for your extreme generosity. Mr. Martin，one of the older members of our staff, has been on the sick list for some time and we therefore let him have the lion’s share of the eggs, one whole boxful in fact, and of course he was delighted to get them. The tins of tongue look very inviting and will be a welcome addition to our larders (食物橱) and in my case will be put on one side for a special occasion.
I enquired at all the local music shops but was unable to get the Messiah or Bach’s St. Matthew Passion in stiff covers in clean, secondhand copies, and then I found they were available from the publisher in new editions. Their prices seemed a bit high, but I thought I had better get them and they have been sent by Book Post a few days ago, so should arrive any day now. Our invoice，total $4.20, is enclosed with the books.
We are sending you a little gift for Christmas. We do hope you will not have to pay any duty on it. We will mark it “Christmas Gift” and keep our fingers crossed. Anyway，we hope you will like it and accept it with our sincere best wishes for Christmas and the coming year.
My name is certainly not of Welsh origin. As it is pronounced to rhyme with the French word “Noel”，I think there may be a possibility that it originated in France.
Yours sincerely,
Frank Doel

Scientists have long known that herbivores (食草动物) affect the plant diversity around them. In highly productive ecosystems, like jungles, animals would favor dominant, fast-growing plants. This would free up nutrients and space, allowing for a greater variety of plants to boom. In contrast, herbivores in regions with low plant biomass, like deserts, would eat whatever they could find, only driving down plant diversity.
Now, a team of scientists has tested this hypothesis(假说). Burkepile, a biology professor in UC Santa Barbara, and his colleagues reviewed 252 studies comparing plant diversity in areas where herbivores were and were not excluded.
Their study revealed that whether herbivores increase or decrease plant diversity depends on what’s on the menu. In general, the correlation (相关性) between herbivory and diversity wasn’t nearly as clear as everyone had expected. However, the team noticed a much stronger association: when the ecosystem hosted a particularly vigorous species of plant, herbivory seemed to be crucial in maintaining biodiversity.
For instance, grasslands in the tallgrass prairie in the American Midwest tend to be dominated (控制) by
fast-growing grasses, such as big bluestem. The team discovered that herbivores had an outsized effect on maintaining biodiversity by keeping big bluestem from taking over dozens of smaller, slower growing plant species. However not all herbivores are on an equal foot. The team found that the connection between herbivory and diversity was particularly strong in grasslands where more animals feed on grass than on herbs and bushes. This seems reasonable, since grasses tend to be the dominant species in grasslands, as the name suggests.
These findings are more than academic. “We’ve seen three decades of real ly important papers saying that ecosystems work better when you have more species in them,” Burkepile said. “What our data suggests is that herbivores are especially important for maintaining this biodiversity in places where you have a really dominant plant species.” As biodiversity continues to decline worldwide, conservationists are looking for ways to prevent catastrophic losses. “This suggests that one possible approach to managing ecosystems and biodiversity is to use herbivores to manage these domina nt species,” Burkepile added.
1、According to Paragraph 1, how do herbivores help to increase biodiversity?
A．By consuming dominant, fast-growing plants.
B．By destroying jungles and freeing up space.
C．By adding more nutrients to the soil.
D．By eating up low plant biomass.
2、The underlined part in Paragraph 3 most probably implies that ____________.
A．herbivory has nothing to do with biodiversity in a given ecosystem
B．herbivores decrease biodiversity in tallgrass-dominated ecosystems
C．small animals help to protect biodiversity in grasslands without bushes
D．the degree to which herbivores affect biodiversity is related to plant species
3、What is the author trying to tell us in the last paragraph?
A．The limitations of the new study.
B．The potential application of the new study.
C．The contradiction between the past view and the new findings.
D．The importance of maintaining ecosystems and biodiversity.
23．（8分）On a recent spring morning. Susan Alexander, a retired government intelligence analyst, left her Maryland home, climbed into her Volkswagen Passat and drove about three miles to pick up two strangers. She battled rush-hour traffic on the Capital Beltway and George Washington Memorial Parkway before dropping them off at Reagan National Airport. She didn't earn a cent for her trouble, and that was the point.
Alexander is a member of the Silver Spring Time Bank-one of more than 100 such exchanges around the world trying to build community by exchanging time credits for services instead of dollars and cents. “I have time,” she said. “I like giving the gift of time to other people. “
In Alexander's case, passengers Mary and Al Liepold were grateful for the ride, but it wasn't charity. Mary,a retired writer and editor for nonprofit organizations, used time credits she banked for editing work and baking. Senior citizens who don't drive, the Liepolds cashed in their credits to catch a flight to Montreal for a five-day vacation.
Without money changing hands or shifting between virtual accounts, the airport drop-off was more like a coffee party than a taxi ride. Driver and passengers chatted about projects they've completed for the time bank, and no one raised an eyebrow when Mary said she likes “to avoid the conventional economy. “
“The beauty of this is that you make friends,” Mary Liepold said. “You don't just get services.”
The Silver Spring Time Bank formed in 2015 and has about 300 members, said co-founder Mary Murphy. Last year, she said, l,000 hours were exchanged for basic home repairs, dog walking, cooking and tailoring, among other services, without the exchange of money. “ Y ou get to save that money that you would have spent,” she said. “You get to meet somebody else in your community and get to know that person. That's a bonus that's part of an exchange. “
A deal performed partly to make friends would seem to go against classical economics and one of Benjamin Franklin's most memorable sayings:”Time is money. “ To those at the forefront of modem time-banking, that is the appeal.
1、What's the main purpose of the Silver Spring Time Bank?
A．To better serve the local economy.
B．To help people get to know more friends.
C．To provide the elderly with timely financial help.
D．To build community by exchanging time credits for services.
2、How did the Liepolds pay for their ride?
A．In cash. B．By credit card.
C．By cheque. D．With time credits.
3、What does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refer to?
A．Making friends. B．Classical economics.
C．Modem time-banking. D．Franklin's famous saying.
4、What is the suitable title for the text?
A．Time is money B．The more friends, the better
C．Giving the gift of time D．Swapping time credits for services
24．（8分）Young people in the United States do not have a strong understanding of the world and their place in it. Two U. S.—based groups, the Council on Foreign Relations and the National Geographic, Society commissioned an online survey earlier this year. They wanted to know what young people educated in American colleges knew about geography, U. S. foreign policy, recent international events, and economics.
The survey was given to over 1,200 Americans between the ages of 18 and 26 years. All of them presently attending, or having previously graduated from, a 2-or 4-year college or university.
The average test score, out of 75 total possible answers, was 55 percent. The study identifies a few important problems. For example, only 30 percent knew that the only part of the U. S. government that can declare war is Congress. Only 60% of those taking the survey could identify Brazil on a world map.
Part of the problem, argue the organizers of the survey, is the internet. They say it is becoming harder to find
high-quality information about world events amongst all the fake news and trivia which swamp the web. Forty-three percent of those questioned said they read about the news on Facebook.
Another problem is that most college courses do not require students to learn about international issues. If such information is not required, Richard Haass from the Council on Foreign Relations said, then the United States could
have leaders like Gary Johnson. He was a recent presidential candidate who did not know about the Syrian city of Aleppo when a reporter asked him about it.
The survey results were not all bad. The young people also demonstrated a good understanding of climate change and renewable energy. And the majority of them said that international issues were becoming more important to them.
Haass says these findings suggest the need to find was to get good information to students, both in school and online. To help, the Council on Foreign Relations is creating a new program called CFR Campus, designed to help build knowledge about global issues.
1、What can we learn about the survey?
A．All the participants were recent university graduates
B．It was an online survey conducted by two US universities
C．Its aim is to figure out what the young people know about America
D．It was given to over 1,200 American people aged from 18 to 26
2、What’s one reason survey organizers give for young people’s lack of knowledge?
A．Y oung people are unwilling to travel abroad
B．The sources from which they get their information
C．The US university system is of poor quality
D．Their lack of interest in knowing more about the world
3、According to the survey, what topic did the young Americans understand best?
A．Environmental matters B．Geographic information
C．Foreign relations D．Government organizations
4、In which column of a newspaper could we find this article?
A．Economics B．Entertainment
C．Politics D．Education

29、Hello, everyone! I’m Li Hua from Beijing China.
I’d like to introduce the paper cutting to you, which is my favorite traditional Chinese art.
I first experienced the paper cutting at a young age. On the cold day when the new year was coming, my grandmother sat on the bed, cutting the paper with scissors. She was doing this so carefully that I didn’t even dare to make a noise. After sticking it on the window with the glue, I couldn’t wait to learn the paper cutting from my grandmother.
Paper cutting has a history of thousands of years and has been passed down generation by generation. People use the red cut paper to get rid of bad luck and wish for good fortune in the new year. It’s a treasure of Chinese civilization and a symbol of Chinese people’s wisdom. By learning it pe ople can develop a temperament(气质；性情) of patience and peace. Have a try, and I’m sure you’ll fall in love with it.
Thanks for listening.

Hello, everyone! I’m Li Hua from Beijing China.
Now, I’d like to introduce my favorite traditional Chinese art. It’s Beijing Opera. There is no doubt that it’s very popular in China. My grandpa loves Beijing Opera very much. When I was 5, he took me to a theater, I saw many
people wearing beautiful clothes and singing there. How amazing their performance was! That’s my first time to see it. After that, I usually exercise performing Beijing Opera with my grandpa at home.
As far as I’m concerned, Beijing Opera is very wonderful and interesting. There are five main roles, Sheng, Dan, Jing, Mo and Chou. And every role is spe cial. What’s more, Beijing Opera is regarded as a treasure of China. Learning it is a good way to learn about my country. So, I love it.
That’s all. Thank you!。
