The final yield of the tested variety, G3-1S/P19, came to 1046.3 kg per mu (about 667 square meters), based on two pieces of land in Qingzhu Village under the city of Hengyang in central Chinas Hunan Province.“Some previous high-yielding hybrid rice varieties in China took 160 to even 180 days from sowing to harvesting, while the figure was shortened to around 125 days for the new variety. This is one of the most important characteristics of the third-generation hybrid rice that can reduce the use of pesticides and fertilizers, thus reducing cost and improving production efficiency.” said Qian Qian, the deputy director(副所长) of the China National Rice Research Institute.Unlike the previous two generations that required a large amount of water and fertilizers as well as demanding growing conditions and technological support, the third-generation hybrid rice is easier to be grown by ordinary farmers. So the soil, altitude and climate of the test site were not “ideal conditions” carefully selected beforehand but were close to the rice fields of ordinary farmers.Nowadays, Chinas average yield of rice is about 500 kg per mu. Ordinary farmers can produce 600 kg to 700 kg of rice per mu by growing some excellent second-generation hybrid rice varieties. However, under the same planting conditions and environment, the yield of the third-generation hybrid rice could reach 800 kg per mu. China now feeds around 20 percent of the worlds population with less than 9 percent of the worlds farming land.At present, Yuans team has nine third-generation hybrid rice combinations under trial, which are expected to achieve commercial seed production in the following three to four years and hope to apply the technology into the research of sea rice. The third-generation hybrid rice has the comprehensive strength to promote a greener and more sustainable development（可持续发展）of Chinas rice production with higher quality and yield.24. What feature of the new hybrid rice does Qian Qian mainly talk about?A. It saves a lot more water.B. It achieves a higher yield.C. It saves much more farmland.D. It has a shorter growing period.25. Why is the new hybrid rice not tested in ideal areas?A. The ordinary farmers has mastered planting technology.B. The researchers want to reduce the experiment cost.C. The growing conditions the new hybrid rice needs are simple.D. The previous rice farming provides researchers with experience.26. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?A. The high output of the third-generation hybrid rice.B. The promising future of the hybrid rice variety.C. The advanced technology of the research on hybrid rice.D. The differences between the three hybrid rice varieties.27. Which one could be the best title of the text?A. The Development of Chinas RiceB. The Contribution of the Great ScientistC. The High Yield of the New Hybrid RiceD. The Way to Feed the Worlds PopulationCRecord fires sweeping across the Amazon this month have been grabbing global headlines as scientists and environmental groups are worried that they will worsen climate change crisis and threaten biodiversity.As the largest rainforest in the world, the Amazon is often called “the lungs of the world”. It is also home to about 3 million species of plants and animals, and 1 million local people. The Amazon rainforest plays an important role in the worlds ecosystem because they absorb heat instead of it being reflected back into the atmosphere. They also store carbon dioxide and produce oxygen, ensuring that less carbon is released, mitigating the effects of climate change.“Any forest destroyed is a threat to biodiversity and the people who use that biodiversity,” Thomas Lovejoy, an ecologist at George Mason University told National Geographic. “The great threat is that a lot of carbon goes into the atmosphere,” he stressed. “In the midst of the global climate crisis, we cannot afford more damage to a major source of oxygen and biodiversity. The Amazon must be protected,” U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres said.Data from the National Institute for Space Research (INPE) show that the number of forest fires in Brazil quickly increased by 82 percent from January to August this year from a year ago. A total of 71,497 forest fires were registered in the country in the first eight months of 2020, up from 39,194 in the same period in 2020, INPE said. “We estimate that the forest areas in the Brazilian Amazon have decreased something between 20 and 30 percentcompared to the last 12 months,” Carlos Nobre, a researcher at the University of Sao Paulo, told German broadcaster Deutsche Welle.Brazil owns about 60 percent of the Amazon rainforest, whose degradation could have severe consequences for global climate and rainfall. The extent( 范 围 ) of the area ruined by fires has yet to be determined, but the emergency has transcended（超出）Brazils borders, reaching Peruvian, Paraguayan and Bolivian regions.28. Which of the following best explains “mitigating” underlined in Paragraph 2?A. Making less harmful.B. Causing.C. Worsening.D. Benefitting.29. What can we learn from Thomass and Antonios words?A. The biodiversity makes the rainforests unique.B. The rainforest fires result in serious results.C. The global climate crisis brings more rainforest fires. D. The dry weather leads to the rainforest fires.30. Why does the author list the numbers in Paragraph 4?A. To prove the importance of rainforest.B. To show the influence of forest fires.C. To explain the process of the research.D. To present the reduction of rainforest areas.31. Which part of a magazine is this text probably taken from?A. Sports and music.B. Science and technology.C. Nature and geography.D. Business and culture.D“What kind of rubbish are you?” This question might normally cause anger, but in Shanghai it has been a hot topic over the past week. On July 1st, the city introduced strict rubbish-sorting regulations(垃圾分类新规) that are expected to be used as a model for our country. Citizens must divide their waste into four separate categories and throw it into specific public rubbish boxes. They must do so at scheduled times, when monitors（监管员）are present to ensure compliance（服从）and to give people advice about how to sort their rubbish.Violators face a fine and worse. They could be hit with a fine up to 200 yuan ($29). For repeat violators, the city can add black marks to their credit records, making it harder for them to get bank loans or even buy train tickets. The Shanghai government is responding to an obvious environmental problem. It generates 9 million tons of rubbish a year, more than Londons yearly output and rising quickly. But like other cities in China, it lacks a recycling system. Instead, it has relied on rubbish pickers to classify the waste, picking out whatever can be reused.This has limits. As people get wealthier, fewer of them want to do such dirty work. The waste, meanwhile, just keeps piling up. China use 80 billion pairs of throw-away chopsticks a year, and most of them turn into waste.Many local people appear to support the idea of recycling in general but are not happy with the details. Rubbish must be divided according to whether it is food, recyclable, dry or dangerous. The distinctions among which can be confusing, though there are APPs to help work it out. Some people have complained about the rules for food waste. They must put it straight in the required public bin, forcing themselves to tear plastic bags open and throw away rubbish by hand. What makes people most unhappy is that the rubbish-throwing time is too short and scheduled-a couple of hours in the morning and evening. Along with the monitors at the rubbish bins, this means that people go at around the same time and can keep an eye on what is being thrown out; no one wants to look bad.32. What does the underlined word “Violators” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. People who dont throw away the waste.B. People who argue with the monitors.C. People who dont throw the rubbish on time.D. People who are against the regulations.33. What is the main direct environmental problem in Shanghai?A. The heavy traffic.B. The increasing rubbish.C. Lack of moneyD. Lack of rubbish pickers.34. What makes the citizens upset most about the rules?A. Complex distinction among the four categories of rubbish.B. Short scheduled time for throwing the rubbish.C. Being observed by monitors when throwing the rubbish.D. Being fined when blamed due to improper behavior.35. What can be the best title for the text?A. A report of rubbish recyclingB. A great problem in dealing with rubbishC. A new age of rubbish classificationD.

Simply speaking,36Actually, tests, after-school activities and problems at home can increase stress for students.37 . Three researchers wrote that too much social media use might contribute to the development of mental health problem in teenagers, such as feelings of isolation(孤僻), depressive symptoms（抑郁症状）,and anxiety.38 . But 70 percent of teens see anxiety and depression as major problems, according to a recent report. Nearly 60 percent of parents said they worry about the influence of social media on their childs physical and mental health.39 . Many public schools pay professional companies to watch students social media activity for signs of anxiety. Others invite in yoga teachers and comfort dogs to help calm students.Fortunately, some responsible parents are not letting their children get smartphones until they grow up. Western New York yoga teacher Erin Schifferli says her 12-year-old daughter wont get a phone until she is 16 years old. Erin Schifferli said 40As a grown-up, I find it difficult sometimes to manage, too.A. she had a feeling that the phone would be difficult for my child to manage.B. Schools are starting to take steps to deal with the problem.C. the use of smartphones is a mental health disaster.D. Smartphones can be of great help for her daughters study.E. Researchers are still not sure whether phones cause student depression or depression causes phone use.F. But many students think it is tests and their grades that result in their depression and anxiety.G. But research now suggests that smartphones and social media are some of the main reasons for the rising anxiety levels.第三部分：语言知识运用(共两节，满分 45 分)第一节：完型填空。（共 201.5=30 分）阅读下面短文，掌握大意，然后从 3655 各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出最佳选项A clerk, who had to work overtime every day, used to 41 back to his room very late at night and 42 in the early hours of the morning.
