when I have a fever?”“Why does the sun rise in the east?”I knew the day would comewhen my little girl Sophie would learn to talk and inevitably(不可避免地)start askingthose questions.Thequestions themselves werent worrying me.I was actually looking forward to seeing where her curiosity would lie.What was bothering(烦恼)me was whether or not I would know the answers.In the age of the smartphone,this may seem like a silly worry.The answers to almost everything would be just one Google away.Still,I struggled with how I was going to prepare to become an all-knowing mother.Then one day,it struckme:I didnt need to have all the answers.What a great example I could set if I let my daughter know that I,too,was still learning.And I realized how much more I could learn if I took another look at things I thought I alreadyknew the answer to with the curiosity of a child.My little girls mind is a beginners mind-curious,open to newideas,eager to learn,and not based on knowledge that already exists.I decided that I would deal with herquestions with a beginners mind,too.Once I decided to become more curious,I started noticing that curiosity was becoming more important in theworkplace,too.It seems that leaders dont need to have all the answers,but they do need to be curious.Curious about curiosity,I searched for answers and found Albert Einsteins famous words,“I have no specialtalent.I am only passionately(热情地)curious.”We mightquibble overthe view that Einstein had no special talent,but there is one thing for certain-he wouldnt have solved the puzzles of the universe without his passionatecuriosity.Then I came across another Einstein quote,“The important thing is not to stop questioning.Curiosity hasits own reason or existence.”1.The advantage of having a beginners mind is that _.A.people can learn much faster.B.people wont be afraid to make mistakes.C.people are willing to receive new things.D.people wont be expected to answer all questions.2.What does the example of Einsteins words show?A.Einstein was passionate about curiosity.B.Einsteins quotes are very famous.C.Curiosity is of great significance.D.Curiosity is more necessary than talent.3.What does the underlined phrase“quibble over”in the last paragraph probably mean?A.Fight against.B.Argue about.C.Work out.D.Agree withBNewspapers in Great Britainvarygreatly in their ways of carrying the news.There are serious papers for thosewho want to know about important happenings everywhere,both at home and abroad.There are popularnewspapers for those who prefer entertainment to information.The London newspaper that is best known outside Great Britain is probably the Times.It began in 1785,andhas a high reputation for believable news and serious opinions on the news.It calls itself an independent paper,which means that it does not give its support to a particular political party.Its leading articles give the opinions ofthe editors,not those of the owners of the paper.Letters to the editor are printed in the newspaper.These parts of the Times are always interesting.Most ofthe letters are serious subjects.But from time to time there will be long letters on the subject which is not at allserious,perhaps on a new fashion of dress,or the bad manners of the young people,compared with manners ofthirty years ago.4.If you want to get pleasure,please buy yourself _.A.a serious newspaperB.foreign newspaperC.any independent paperD.a popular newspaper5.The Times has been famous to outside Great Britain for _ years.A.19B.85C.236D.2296.The Times is an independent paper because _.A.it supports no political partiesB.it is not controlled by the British GovernmentC.it gives special support to all the political parties.D.the editors opinions are not examined by the owners of the paper7.The underlined word“vary”in the passage probably means“_”.A.improveB.compete with each otherC.are differentD.keep in touch with each otherCChildrens average daily time spent watching television or using mobile device increased from 53 minutes atage 12 months to more than 150 minutes at 3 years,according toan analysis by researchers at the NationalInstitutes of Health(NIH).By age 8,children were more likely to log the highest amount of screen time if they hadbeen in home-based children or were born to first-time mothers.“Our results indicate that screen habits begin early,”said Edwina Yeung,an investigator in National Instituteof Child Health and Human Development(NICHD).“This finding suggests that interventions(干涉)to reduce screentime could have a better chance of success if introduced early.”In the research,mothers of 4,000 children responded to questions on their kids media habits when theywere 12,18,24,30,and 36 months of age.TheAmericanAcademyof Pediatrics recommends avoiding digital media exposure for children under 18months of age,introducing children 18 to 24 months of age to screen media slowly,and limiting screen time to anhour a day for children from 2 to 5 years of age.In the current study,researchers found that 87%of the childrenhad screen time exceeding(超过)these recommendations.However,while screen time increased throughouttoddlerhood,by age 7 and 8,screen time fell to under 1.5 hours per day.The researchers believe this decreaserelates to time consumed by school-related activities.The study authors classified the children into two groups based on how much their average daily screen timeincreased from age 1 to age 3.The first group,73%of the total had the lowest increase,from an average of nearly51 minutes a day to nearly an hour and 47 minutes a day.The second group,27%of the total,had the highestincrease,from nearly 37 minutes of screen time a day to about 4 hours a day.Higher levels of parental educationwere associated with lower odds of inclusion in the second group.8.Who use mobile device longest according to the NIHs analysis?A.10-year-old born to first-time mothers.B.3-year-old children in low income families.C.8-year-old children in home-based childcare.D.1-year-old children with parents poorly educated.9.What does the research suggest according to Edwina?A.Parents should stop their children using media.B.Parents should limit the use of digital media themselves.C.Parents should reduce their childrens screen time earlier.D.Parents should avoid their children using digital media at infancy(婴儿期).10.Why does childrens screen time fall when they age 7 and 8?A.They are studying at school.B.They can control themselves.C.They are tired of using them.D.They are forbidden to use them.11.Which of the following may be the best title?A.Keep Away from MediaB.Screen Habits Begin EarlyC.Urgency of Parental EducationD.Harm of Home-based ChildcareDJake Oldershaw and his daughter Mollie from Birmingham,Britain have asthma(哮喘).Mollie,11,hasrequired hospital treatment several times while Jake Says he always finds breathing more difficult when there isheavy traffic.Air quality has an enormous impact on their lives and both noticed a marked improvement duringthe spring lockdown because of the epidemic(疫情).Jake said,“During lockdown there was a noticeabledifference in air quality.I didnt suffer any asthmatic attacks during that period.These days you can feel theeffects.”However,under current COVID-19 restrictions in the UK this winter,many people probably will have to workfrom home.The Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit(ECIU)says while emissions(排放)have dropped this yearbecause weve been travelling less and doing less,the expected use ofgas boilers to provide heating and hot watercould rise by more than half.Heating accounts for nearly 37%of the UKs total carbon emissions.Modelling by the ECIU suggests a 56%increase in boiler usage this winter resulting in a 12%increase in emissions of carbon.The ECIU says thats enoughto offset the last two years worth of progress on reducing traffic emissions.Jess Ralston,author of the analysis for the ECIU,said,“Working from home and having increased gas use inthe home could be really critical for air pollution and also climate change.The way we heat our homes needs tochange if we are to get to net zero by 2050.”Jess Ralston said,“The increase in pollution from gas boilers expected this winter provides a graphicillustration(图解)of their forgotten role in air pollution.And it is a role set to continue without practical policies todecarbonize home heating.”The government is set to publish its Heat and Buildings Decarbonisation Strategy in a few weeks which isexpected to give details on plans to try to switch British homes to cleaner sources of heat.12.How did the spring lockdown in the UK affect Jake?A.He was cured of his asthma.B.He had to go to hospital for

prefer to work from home in winter.B.The government failed to protect the environment.C.People tend to ignore the harmful effect of home heating.D.The climate has suffered a lot from the epidemic this year.15.How to improve air quality during winter according to Jess Ralston?A.A warmer winter season.B.Less and less gas boilers.C.Practical plans from the government.D.Improved awareness of cutting down pollution.第二节（共第二节（共 5 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2 2 分，满分分，满分 1 10 0 分）分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项Living with Alzheimers(老年痴呆症),Lata,an 83-year-old lady finds focus and inspiration in tribal
