Little Tom was a student in senior high school. He was not good at his work and failed many times in the exams, and he never knew why he couldn’t catch up with others.

One day, Tom and his teacher were walking through the forest. He was disturbed by the fact that his mind was in constant unrest. He asked his teacher, “Why most people’s minds are restless, and only a few have a calm mind? What can one do to calm the mind down?”

The teacher looked at Tom, smiled and told him a story:

On one beautiful day, an elephant was standing by the shade of a tree, eating its leaves. Suddenly, a small fly came buzzingly and landed on the elephant’s ear. The elephant stayed calm and continued eating, ignoring the fly. The fly flew around the elephant’s ear, buzzing noisily, yet the elephant seemed to be unaffected. This confused the fly, and it asked, “Are you deaf?”

“No!” the elephant answered.

“Why aren’t you bothered by my buzz?” the fly asked.

“Why are you so restless and noisy? Why can’t you stay calm just for a few moments?” asked the elephant, and peacefully continued eating the leaves.

The fly answered, “Everything I see, hear and feel attracts my attention, and all noises and movements around me affect my behavior.”

“What is your secret? How can you stay so calm and still, while I am buzzing around your ears?”

“I can continue eating peacefully, because my five senses do not disturb my peace.”

“How is it possible?” asked the fly amazed and confused.

“Because I don’t let them rule my attention,” answered the elephant.

“I am in control of my mind and my thoughts, and therefore, I can direct my attention where I want, and ignore any disturbance including your buzz.”

“And therefore,” continued the elephant, “I am completely lost in the act of eating, enjoying my food and chewing it peacefully.”

China launched its first solar observation satellite on October 14, 2021 from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center. The satellite    1     (equip) with China’s first solar telescope in space and can observe the deep-red H-Alpha line of the solar spectrum(光谱), enabling     2     (science) to study solar flares(太阳耀斑). It is called the Chinese H-Alpha Solar Explorer. It     3     has a Chinese name, Xihe(羲和), the name of the sun goddess     4     ancient Chinese fairy tales.

This new Chinese satellite functions     8     (differ) from those launched by other countries. It is the first in the world     9     (observe) the H-Alpha spectrum of the sun,     10     reacts most strongly to solar flares.

7 . Some creatures have developed ways to protect the most valuable in their group by practicing social distancing strategically. The most impressive examples occur in social insects, where different members of the group have different roles.

Nathalie Stroeymeyt, a professor of the University of Bristol in England used tiny digital tags to track the movements of garden ant groups during an outbreak of a deadly fungus(真菌). The fungi are passed from ant to ant through physical contact.

To measure how ants respond when disease first invades(入侵) their group, the researchers applied the fungi directly to a small group of the worker ants that regularly leave the group. The worker ants are most likely to accidentally encounter fungi while out searching for food. The researchers used the natural way this fungus would be introduced. The behavioral responses of ants in 11 fungus-treated groups were then compared with the same number of control groups, where a harmless liquid was applied to worker ants. Ants in fungus-exposed groups started rapid and strategic social distancing after treatment. Within 24 hours those worker ants self-isolated by spending more time away from the group compared with control-treated worker ants.

Healthy ants in fungus-treated groups also strongly reduced their social interaction. Uninfected worker ants, which interact frequently with other worker ants that might carry disease, kept their distance from the group, when disease was present. This prevents them from putting the valuable group members (the queen and “nurses”that care for young ants) at risk. The nurses also took actions, moving young ants farther inside the nest and away from the worker ants once the fungus was detected in the group. The signals that the ants use to detect and rapidly respond to fungus exposure are still unknown. This strategic group was so effective that all queens and most nurses from the study groups were still alive at the end of the experimental outbreaks.

A．Its background.

B．Its findings.

C．Its significance.

D．Its process.

2. Why did the researchers apply fungi to worker ants?

A．To compare how differently ants respond to the invasion.

B．To watch how worker ants send signals to others.

D．To prevent fungi from spreading in the ant group.

3. What does the underlined word “where” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A．In fungus-treated groups.	B．In garden ant groups.
C．In 11 control groups.	D．In social insects.

4. How do we know ants’ social distancing was successful?

A．All queens and most nurses survived the invasion.

B．All the worker ants spend more time outside the nest.

C．Researchers have found how the ants found fungus exposure.

D．Worker ants in both study and control groups self-isolated.

8 . Today’s 14-and 15-year-olds are ambitious. They are optimistic about their future, but their career ideas are rather unclear. A job for life is not in their vocabulary. Almost half the boys surveyed expected that their hobbies would lead them into the right sort of job, while most girls seemed determined to avoid traditionally female careers such as nursing.

In the past, this might have counted as bad news. But the world has changed. The global economy is not kind to yesterday’s hardworking and dependable workers. The future belongs to quick-thinking people who are resourceful, ambitious and creative. This means that young people need training and guidance to help them develop the right skills for today’s market; not the rigid preparation for a workplace that disappeared 20 years ago.

So what is to be done? A good first step would be to change the way in which schools prepare young people for adult life. The education system is becoming less flexible and paying more attention to traditional skills when the employment market is going in the opposite direction.

Accurate, latest information on new jobs and qualifications can help guidance counselors to help their students. Young people need solid information on the sort of training they need to their dream career. Also, a little bit of encouragement can go a long way.

What, then, can we as parents do to help them? The best thing is to forget all the advice that our parents gave us, and step into our teenager’s shoes. It is important for them to learn how to be independent and resourceful. Give them courage to follow their dreams—however odd they might sound right now. In a world that offers economic security to almost no one, imagination is a terrible thing to waste.

1. According to the survey, how are boys and girls different in career ideas?

A．Male teenagers are more ambitious and optimistic.

B．Dead-end but secure jobs are more popular with girls.

C．Boys prefer to choose jobs based on their interest.

D．Girl teenagers have clearer career ideas than boys.

2. What word can best describe the person who is fluent in the global economy?

A．Inventive.

B．Hardworking.

C．Modest.

D．Reliable.

3. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph imply?

A．Wasting is the main cause of terrible economy.

B．Creativity should be valued most in the changing world.

C．No one can be secure in such a terrible world.

D．Wasting imagination leads to economic insecurity.

4. Why is the passage written?

A．To analyze teenagers’ ideas about the economic world.

B．To explain how the world has changed the young.

C．To encourage parents to help the young to be independent.

D．To offer advice on how to prepare teenagers for careers.

9 . We might look different and speak different languages, but most of us, especially the young ones, love sweets! One day we _________ one of the 15,000 orphan(孤儿)-led houses in Swaziland. Inside the _________ we found a beautiful little girl with huge brown eyes, Tanzile. I gave her a sweet from my bag and she said something in the _________ language. The nurse next to me _________: “She wants another one, doctor, to give to her little sister.” I said “_________” and gave her another.

Later that day, we passed by Tanzile’s house to say goodbye. To our _________ she seemed to be holding on to that _________ sweet I had given her. I thought she was _________ and had taken two for herself. But after the _________ had asked her some more questions, this is what we learned:

Tanzile is 7 now. Two years ago her parents __________ in the disaster. At the time of her parents’ death, she __________ her baby sister, who was three at the time, and has never seen her. But ever since that time, whenever Tanzile __________ anything from anyone, she refuses to accept it, __________ they give her two. In fact, in the little mud hut where she lives, we found a pile of old things which she has been __________to give to her sister one day.

I can still remember the nurse trying to __________ her that “ Tanzile, if someone gives you food, you must accept it, __________ it is only one piece and not two - for your own __________ and safety.” And it was so __________ for us to keep the tears from our eyes as she shook her head __________

On the way back, I thought of that old Eagles’ song — “When we’re hungry, __________ will keep us alive.”

10 . Do Historical Films Need to Be Accurate?

Historical inaccuracies can be found in many films.     1    , or much bigger, such as changing whether someone was good or bad.

Historic films give us a glimpse (一瞥) into the past. Yet some criticize that there are fictional details in them.     2    ?

Yes — otherwise they’re misleading

There are so many great people from history and interesting events to learn about the past, particularly when you find the subject boring at school. Yet if films aren’t being completely accurate, then people will be misinformed, and it may mean that historical figures are remembered in the wrong way.     3    . However, in real life he actually helped to rescue a lot of people. For his family, and the families of other people in such films, that might be very upsetting. History is interesting enough as it is; there is no reason for filmmakers to make things up.

    4    

The cinema is not a classroom. If the audience learns something while watching a film, that’s great. But filmmakers are just trying to make something entertaining and dramatic. They should be allowed to change facts to create the best experience. After all, certain events in real life might have taken place over several years, but in order to be shown in a film, they may need to be packed into less than two hours. Some changes will have to be made for that to work.     5    . Writers and directors have no choice but to imagine what might have happened, and fill in the gaps.

A．Yes — films help us learn from the past

B．Besides, not all historical films can be completely accurate

C．So should film makers be sticking more closely to the truth in their films

D．No — films are meant to be creative

E．So should films transport viewers into a world of make-believe

F．For example, in the film Titanic, a man on the ship was shown as a selfish one

G．They can be small, like changing a location
