After climbing up a hill for a panoramic (全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view. Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation. I didnt want to mess with that.Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured (捕捉) and frozen on some strangers bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I dont even know has been immortalized (使永存). In some ways, she lives in my house.Perhaps we all live in each others spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us. That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.24. What happened when the author was about to take a photo?A. Her camera stopped working. B. A friend approached from behind.C. Someone asked her to leave. D. A woman blocked her view.25. In the authors opinion, what makes the photo so alive?A. The womans existence in the photo. B. The perfect positioning of the camera.C. The rich color of the landscape. D. The soft sunlight that summer day.26. The photo on the bedroom wall enables the author to better understand _.A. the need to be close to nature B. the shared passion for beautyC. the joy of the vacation in Italy D. the importance of private space27. The passage can be seen as the authors reflections upon _.A. the art of photography B. the pleasure of travelingC. a particular life experience D. a lost friendshipCParents will do anything for their children. Whether it would be the food, clothes, or the place they live in, parents will always make sure their children have the best of everything. One of the biggest concerns that parents currently have is educating their children. They are faced with lots of difficulties when it comes to education for their young ones. Choices include private school, charter school, public school or home schooling.Fortunately for parents，there are a variety of different strategies that they can take in order to increase their childs overall intelligence. According to Ross A. Thompson, PhD, professor of psychology at the University of California at Davis, a childs brain will actually reach 90% of its full size by the time they start kindergarten.Researchers at Northwestern University in Chicago concluded that playing a musical instrument directly affected the brain stem, the lower section of the brain. Moreover, children that learn an instrument at an early age tend to continue it when they are older. And numerous studies show that a well balanced meal is essential for a childs mental as well as physical health. Some other researchers recommended that a second language should be taught when children are in preschool. They state that three to four years of age is the perfect time and that any age under four would work perfectly fine for a childs brain development.The average child will learn how to read between kindergarten and second grade. Many parents can give their children a jump start by teaching them to read before they start school. Children could have an adequate background of the alphabet（字母表） and sounds of words before attending school. This can be done by simply reading to them whenever you want. The more comfortable they get, the easier the process will be.28.From the first paragraph, we can infer that .A. parents find it hard to satisfy their kids various demandsB. parents meet a new challenge when raising their kidsC. parents have more choices in offering education to their kidsD. parents get actively involved in the process of their kids growth29.What suggestion may the researchers in the passage make?A. To train kids as early as possible.B.To try as many means as possible.C. To help kids develop as fully as possible. D. To use as many available resources as possible.30.What does the third paragraph mainly discuss about?A. The proper time to teach children to learn languages.B. The effective ways to help develop childrens brains.C. The vital factors to have a great effect on childrens health.D. The practical steps to arouse childrens interest in study.31.We can replace the words “jump start” in the last paragraph with .A. inspiration B. introduction C. suggestion D. promotionDA growing number of Chinese students are choosing to study in countries and regions involved in the Belt and Road Initiative, the Ministry of Education said on Friday.Some 66,100 Chinese students studied in Belt and Road countries in 2020, up 15.7 percent from 2020, with 3,679 sponsored by the Chinese government, according to a statement on the ministrys website. China had signed 45 agreements on educational cooperation with those countries by April 2020. Diplomas issued by Chinese universities and the higher education institutions in 24 of the countries were mutually recognized as of March last year, according to the ministry.Belt and Road countries also remained the largest source of international students in China in 2020. International students from the nations increased 11 percent last year to 317,200, about 65 percent of the overall total. Xiong Bingqi, deputy director of the 21st Century Education Research Institute in Beijing, said that due to lower tuition, cultural similarities and increasing trade and cultural cooperation, there will be growth in the exchange of students between China and Belt and Road countries.China has its own elite institutions that can rival the top-tier universities abroad. That is why more foreign students are choosing to study in China, Xiong said, adding that the country has become a major education destination in its own right, particularly for students from within Asia.Furthermore, given Chinas economic growth and rising household incomes, more parents will send their students to study abroad, he said. Going abroad to study is no longer just for elites.About 90 percent of students who studied abroad last year had no government financial support, the ministry said. The percentage has remained about the same since 2020, it said.The total number studying abroad and the number of returnees from those studies also reached record levels last year, the ministry said.Over 600,000 Chinese studied abroad in 2020, up about 11 percent from 2020. Last year, almost 80 percent of students who finished their studies returned home.Shi Yan, of the Chivast Education International consultancy in Beijing, said more returnees are coming home because the domestic job market is more appealing.32.The exchange students from the Belt and Road Initiative account for_A. 15.7 B. 11 C. 65 D. 9033. According to the passage, the main source of the international students in China is _.A. Europe B. America C. Africa D. Asia34. How does the writer make his writing convincing?A. Giving examples. B.
