• 2．Years ago，I appeared on stage with the Royal Melbourne Philharmonic Choir in the Town Hall.There I was，my feet in plain shoes，sweat dirtying my clean white shirt，singing my heart out in front of the big organ （風琴）.I still have a tape recording of that performance somewhere，where I swear I can hear myself singing，high and thin and possibly off-key.
     But life got in the way and I stopped singing.Then，in the summer of 2019，I found myself facing some shadows in my own life.It felt as if it had been a long time between songs，as if there was something unsung，some absent music in my ears.I began to fear I might be making myself ill and unable to breathe in a normal way.
     Could singing help me reclaim my voice and calm my fast-beating heart？Research from the Royal Society noted that "group singing can improve physical and mental health，as well as promote social bonds".So，rather than letting my unsung tunes strangle me，I decided to take on a new choral experience，one being in the Big Feminist Sing，a community choir.
     "If you don't know what to sing，" the choir director said，"find someone who looks confident，and go and stand next to them.Find a friend if you're in trouble；take a risk；use your voice；be part of something bigger than yourself." I've been singing in the choir ever since，because group singing gives me a sense of security and each rehearsal is a lifeline，a connected thread，an intake of air working toward a collective voice.It doesn't matter if I am a bit off-key to start with.Decades of unsung situations have changed，and I have flown.
  
  （1）How did the author feel during her performance in the Town Hall？

  
  A．Thrilled.
  B．Nervous.
  C．Confident.
  D．Curious.
  （2）What does the underlined word "strangle" in paragraph 3 probably mean？

  
  A．Reach.
  B．Blind.
  C．Cheat.
  D．Choke.
  （3）What does the author learn from her latest choir experience？

  
  A．Finding a true friend is never easy.
  B．Teamwork has benefited her a lot.
  C．The choir director's position counts.
  D．Singing alone improves her health.
  （4）Which can be the best title for the text？

  
  A．The Amazing Power of Group Singing
  B．Confidence Out of Lasting Singing
  C．Changes from Stage Experiences
  D．A Taste of Music in a Choir

• 3．Hidden beneath the surface in the roots of Earths' astonishing and diverse plant life，there exists a biological superhighway linking together the members of the plant kingdom in what researchers call the "wood wide web".
     The network consists of thin threads of fungus（真菌）that grow outwards underground up to a few meters from its partnering plant，meaning that all of the plant life within a region likely connected to one another.The partnership is beneficial for both parties involved，plants provide carbohydrates（碳水化合物） to the funguses and in exchange，the funguses aid in gathering water and providing nutrients to its partnering plant.
     A study conducted by Rensen Zeng of the South China Agricultural University found that this also allowed for plants to warn one another of potential harm.The study showed Broad Beans used the fungal network to spy on one another for upcoming danger.
     Like our Internet，this fungal connectivity is also full of crime.Some plants，such as Golden Marigolds have been found to release poisons into the network to slow down the growth of surrounding plants in the fight for water and light.Other plants，such as the Phantom Orchid，do not have the chlorophyll（葉綠素）and must get the necessary nutrients from surrounding plants.
     Research suggests that animals such as insects and worms may be able to detect slight exchanges of nutrients through the network，allowing them to more easily find delicious roots to feed on；however，this has not been conclusively made clear in experimentation.The more we learn about this phenomenon，the more our understanding of the plant life of our planet will continue to change.Perhaps one day，we may be able to map out these complex networks entirely.
  
  （1）What is the function of the first paragraph？

  
  A．To explain the aim of the web.
  B．To introduce the main topic.
  C．To give definition of diverse life.
  D．To show the importance of plants.
  （2）The criminal behavior of plants can be seen as a way to

  .
  A．compete for survival
  B．gather more water
  C．take in sunlight
  D．break natural rules
  （3）What can we infer from the last paragraph？

  
  A．Animals can also feed on the fungus.
  B．Nutrient exchanges are too slight to detect.
  C．No experiment can prove the phenomenon.
  D．More needs to be done to work out the network.
  （4）Which can be the best title for the text？

  
  A．The Partnership between Plants
  B．The Unknown Roots of the Earth
  C．The Superhighway Linking the Plants
  D．The Mysterious Map Changing the World

• 4．For companies around the world and across industries，sustainability（可持續(xù)發(fā)展）has rapidly gone from a nice-to-have to a must-have.Some famous companies have announced ambitious plans to remove single-use plastics，reduce carbon release and otherwise shrink their environmental footprint in various ways.
     Newlight Technologies hopes to speed up that process.The company has spent more than a decade developing a material called AirCarbon，which functions exactly like plastic but is completely biodegradable（可生物降解的）.Newlight developed the material using microorganisms found in the ocean that feed on methane and carbon dioxide—two greenhouse gases among the biggest contributors to climate change.The organisms turn those gases into a natural polymer（聚合物） that can be shaped just like plastic.
     "We call that AirCarbon because it's air and carbon that can mix with and become part of water，" CEO Mark Herrema said. "We have this pure white powder that we can then melt and form in all kinds of parts and pieces." The company's new production facility is filled with large saltwater tanks that recreate ocean conditions，allowing the organisms to make the polymer from which AirCarbon can be obtained.
     Newlight recently began rolling out its first set of products made from the material，launching two brands.Its foodware brand，Restore，sells biodegradable straws，knives，forks and spoons，while its fashion brand Covalent sells handbags，wallets and sunglasses.And because the process of developing AirCarbon uses gases from the atmosphere，the products are carbon negative，meaning they take out more pollutants than they produce.Newlight has received carbon negative certifications from several organizations for its products.
     Newlight's current products are costlier than some traditional products available on the market，since the company has just one facility，which makes it hard to keep prices down.At present，Newlight's AirCarbon products can remove 100 million pounds of carbon dioxide per year.But Herrema's goal is to build more facilities as quickly as possible and eventually increase that number to 20 billion pounds，which he says is how much plastic ends up in the ocean each year.
  
  （1）What is the advantage of AirCarbon？

  
  A．It is more flexible than plastic.
  B．It can partially break down.
  C．It helps reduce greenhouse gases.
  D．It is an artificial polymer like plastic.
  （2）Why has Newlight been certified carbon negative？

  
  A．Its products are of good quality.
  B．Its products are energy-saving.
  C．It develops two sustainable brands.
  D．It removes more carbon than it releases.
  （3）What might be the challenge for Newlight's AirCarbon products？

  
  A．Limited production.
  B．Low profits.
  C．Few customers.
  D．Poor marketing.
  （4）What does the text mainly talk about？

  
  A．New technology that reduces carbon release.
  B．Greenhouse gases that can be used for products.
  C．Ocean microorganisms that feed on greenhouse gases.
  D．A plastic alternative that might help solve climate change.

     （4）

  We are constantly experiencing and learning new things and taking in new information.But in your process of absorbing new skills，what you have learned and where you are going are vital to put everything in proper perspective.Some people do it well during running，while others through listening to music.Find your own pace that allows you to take in all you have learned and frequent it often.
     Eat well，sleep well and exercise often.Giving your mind the proper rest and energy is vital to getting the best performance out of it.（5）
