Ever find yourself wondering what it might be like to live in some of TV's most famous homes? Famous

stroll by it.

I first came to Berwickshire for a job-to be the Ranger for the Berwickshire Marine Reserve.I was then
Senior Ranger for St Abb’s Head National Nature Reserve and I set up my own business, In Our Nature,
offering wildlife journeys,walks,talks and courses in 2020. There’s so much I love about Berwickshire.Its
stunning scenery. Its variety of landscapes and habitats and range of amazing wildlife, both above and below
the water. Its friendly people. In places you can feel like you are a million miles from anywhere, when in reality
you’re just an hour’s drive from Edinburgh.
The thing that supports everything on the Berwickshire Coast is its varied and fascinating geology(地
质).The jewel in the crown is Siccar Point. With its world-famous non-conformity(均变)，it’s considered the
birthplace of modern geology. The geology not only shapes the landscape, but it also impacts on the wildlife,
forming varied habitats from steep sheltered valleys and towering cliffs to sheltered sandy bays.
There’s nothing I like more than being out in nature and sharing my passion with others, so starting up In
Our Nature was a no brainer. In the warmer months I offer tours on land and sea to help folk enjoy the amazing
wildlife and scenery of the Berwickshire Coast. In the darker months my online courses help people learn about
wildlife in the hope that it will increase their enjoyment of the marine and coastal environments they spend
3
学科网（北京）股份有限公司time in.
My favourite spot on the Berwickshire Coast has got to be a place called Petticowick. The views up the
coast and inland to the Mire Loch are second to none. It’s a place where you can marvel at geology which
covers unimaginable periods of time. You can listen to and watch thousands of seabirds that return to the cliffs
to breed each spring. Or witness all the amazing activity of the breeding seal colony on the beach below during
the early winter.

D．The author is enthusiastic about Berwickshire.

The term “plant blindness” was first used in 1998 to describe our general tendency, as humans, not to see
the plant life that surrounds us. The problem has understandable roots: the human brain can detect differences,
and then divides those differences into threats or non-threats. Plants, being unlikely to attack, are grouped
together and treated as background. Combined with the general move to cities, and then to screen-based life
indoors, this has resulted in, for example, up to half of British children being unable to recognize an oak leaf.
We become more emotionally involved in what we can comprehend. “Plants,” as David Attenborough
reminds us in his new BBC series, The Green Planet, “are the basis of all life, including ourselves.” And yet the
beauty and power of the polar bear, the snow leopard, and the orangutan mean many more will campaign to
save them than cow-wheat.
During the lockdown, when people were forced to be still, or to go on daily walks, more of us began to
notice plants, and to care for them. A pre-existing rise in houseplant breeding became faster. There has also
been an increase in interest in how they interconnect. Peter Wohlleben’s bestseller The Hidden Life of Trees
argues that they communicate, care for each other and are part of a “wood-wide web”; botanists (植物学家)
such as Stefano Mancuso argue for a kind of plant intelligence.
The Green Planet takes these trends, applies great new technology, and, of course, adds Attenborough’s
dramatic narrative (叙述): in the first part, about the rainforest, this was balsa leaves battling for sunlight; leaf-
cutter ants sent out by an underground fungus; vine tendrils waving through the air. The aim, says
Attenborough, is to see the world from the plants’ point of view - which is, of course, the definition of empathy
4(共鸣).
28．What does the term “plant blindness” mean?
A．There are fewer plants in cities. B．People always ignore plants.
C．Green plants can relieve visual stress. D．Children know very little about plants.
29．Why may many people not choose to save cow-wheat?
A．They don’t recognize cow-wheat. B．Cow-wheat isn’t beneficial to humans.
C．Cow-wheat isn’t beautiful or powerful.D．They understand more about some animals.
30．What happened during the lockdown?
A．More people grew plants at home. B．Botanists discovered intelligent plants.
C．There was an increase in plant diversity. D．People began to communicate with plants.
31．What message does the author seem to convey in the text?
A．Plants are more important than animals.
B．The Green Planet is worthy to be watched.
C．People are supposed to pay more attention to plants.
D．Plants are intelligent to communicate with each other freely.

China is one of the first countries to breed a medical culture. In comparison with Western methods,
traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) adopts a vastly different approach. For thousands of years, Chinese people
have accumulated rich experience in fighting all sorts of diseases, therefore forming a unique medical theory
under the guidance of ancient Chinese philosophies.
The core behind TCM is that the human body's life is the consequence of the balance between yin and
yang. Yang functions to safeguard us against outer harm, and yin is the inner base to store and provide energy.
When the balance between the two aspects is disturbed, people fall ill.
One of the traditional techniques of TCM, acupuncture (针刺疗法), means insertion of needles into
superficial structures of the body — usually at acupoints (穴位) —to restore the yin-yang balance. It is often
accompanied by moxibustion (灸法), which involves burning the mugwort on or near the skin at an acupoint.
The first known text that clearly talks about something like acupuncture and moxibustion as it is practiced
today is Yellow Emperor5s Inner Canon. It is the earliest and most important written work of TCM and is
considered the most representative medical text in China.
Acupuncture and moxibustion have aroused the interest of international medical science circles. And TCM
is gradually gaining worldwide recognition. The WHO issued a document in 2002 that appealed to more than
180 countries to adopt TCM as an alternative in their medical policies. In 2010, acupuncture and moxibustion
of traditional Chinese medicine were added to the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of
Humanity by the UNESCO. Presently, TCM has been back in the news for its effectiveness in improving the
cure rate of the COVID-19 since its outbreak in January 2020.
32．What does the underlined word "It" in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．Acupuncture. B．TCM. C．Yin-yang balance. D．Moxibustion.
33．What can we learn about Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon from the text?
A．It distinguishes acupxincture from moxibustion.
5
学科网（北京）股份有限公司B．It greatly boosts the development of TCM.
C．It stresses the importance of using acupoints.
D．It's a foundation of world medical research.
34．What is the writer's attitude towards TCM?
A．Worried. B．Skeptical. C．Promising. D．Disapproving.
35．What might be talked about in the paragraph following the text?
A．Why TCM gets recognition from WHO. B．How other countries adopt TCM well.
C．Why TCM is gaining popularity. D．How TCM helps in the present situation.

Good note-taking can be very important to academic success. Notes can help you finish projects properly
and pass tests. 36 To do so, use note-taking techniques for written text or verbal presentations such as
lectures and meetings.
Note details at the top of your paper. Keep your notes organized by writing important details at the top of
each page including the date, and page number of your notes. 37 And you can get important
information even more easily.
38 Write down key facts, ideas, and details in your own words. Taking notes in your own words
actively engages your brain, helps you better understand the text, and makes you more likely to remember the
information.
Develop your own system of signs and symbols that can help you more quickly take notes and review
them. For example, “SM” for “scientific method”.
Write keywords instead of full sentences. It is impossible to take all the information down. 39
Instead, use keywords to say the same things in a short and manageable way that you can easily and quickly
review later.
Skip lines on the paper for later review. As you write your keywords and ideas down, leave space between
each line. Having extra room allows you to make additional notes. 40
A．Use your own language.
B．Help your brain with notes.
C．However, you may not be sure how to take notes.
D．Avoid using full sentences while writing your notes.
E．Here are some useful tips to help take notes effectively.
F．Noting details can make it easier for you to return to your notes.
G．This helps you quickly have all of the relevant material to that keyword or idea.
