(2022·昆明市“三诊一模”)Astrid Poghosyan, a 28-year-old Armenian violinist, now working as a helper to
the president of the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, a celebrated orchestra in China's most populous city, has
achieved her dream as a musician.
This summer, she has been busy making preparations for a series of in person and online music events and
cultural exchange programs, including a music festival in Shanghai and a live-streamed international violin
competition. Poghosyan said she always puts all her energy into the projects in which she is involved, whether they
are offline or online events, as she believes that every little effort will help her realize her music-related dreams.
Having studied and worked in China for 12 years, Poghosyan has now become a real China hand. Such a
multicultural background has certainly helped her excel at her current job. “Poghosyan plays a very special role in
our orchestra，” said Zhou Ping, president of the orchestra. “She has lived in China for long and loves the
Chinese culture, and she knows how to use the advantage of the multicultural background in her work.”
For Poghosyan, the life she now leads is quite different from that when she first came to China in 2009 to
study violin at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music. Then just 16, Poghosyan couldn't speak a word of Chinese.
“And my high-school-level English wasn't of much help at that time，” she said. “So I decided to learn Chinese
to solve the communication problem.”
As she gradually immersed (使沉浸于) herself in the Chinese language and culture, she also started to make
Chinese friends and explore the exciting city life of Shanghai. “Since I first came to Shanghai, I have always been
impressed by the kindness and friendliness of the people here，” she said. “Their smiles have made me feel the
warmth of the city.”
4．What does Poghosyan do in China at present?

C
(2022·南充市适应性考试一)Green time that indicates the positive effects of time spent in nature may be the
medicine to screen time for children's brains, improving their school performances, mental health and well-being,
research suggests.
A review of existing research has found evidence that green time could reduce or help lessen the negative
effects of time spent on watching TV, computers or playing video games.
“Few studies considered screen time and green time together, and possible mental effects on each other，”
said the psychology researcher Tassia Oswald of the University of Adelaide who reviewed all the published studies
on the subject from the English-speaking world.
“However, there is evidence that green time could reduce consequences of high screen time. Therefore nature
may be a wonderful public health resource for youth psychological well-being in a high-tech era.”
Ms Oswald is now planning a pilot study with the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute to
further explore the interaction between screen time and green time among young people.
“It's really hard to reduce young people's screen time. Technology is here to stay and it's really important in a
lot of aspects of life，” she said. “So it would be great to work out how we can relieve some of the psychological
influences of that. As green time would be great, we need to look into it further to strongly support that idea.”
Ms Oswald said there was a growing trend towards prescribing (开处方) time in nature for health benefits.
She said some doctors in the US and the UK offered “green prescriptions”， while “forest bathing” was popular in
Japan.
“However, the question of what made up quality green time is still up for discussion，” she said. Research
suggests the answer depends on the age of the child. For preschoolers, a private garden is important. Primary school
aged children need a larger place to play and for teenagers, the nature of the neighbourhood is important.
8．Which of the following belongs to green time?
A．Watching movies in an outdoor cinema.
B．Taking care of animals kept in the zoo.
C．Playing hide-and-seek in a hotel lobby.
D．Hiking in the mountains.
9．What's Ms Oswald's attitude to green time as the potential medicine to screen time?
A．Positive. B．Neutral.
C．Doubtful. D．Negative.
10．What can we learn about green time from the text?
A．It can remove the negative effects of screen time completely.
B．Ms Oswald holds the belief that it needs to be studied further.
C．Getting it requires a prescription from the doctors in the US and the UK.

(2022·长春市质量监测二)On Tuesday, India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a series of new high-
producing crop varieties, including herbicide-tolerant rice that can be directly planted into the soil, cutting the huge
expenses on water and farm workers.
In India, the world's biggest rice exporter, the traditional method of rice growing requires farmers to grow
seeds in nurseries, and then wait for 20 to 30 days before transplanting the small plants by hand into the fields that
are ankle-deep in water.
With the new seed varieties developed by the state-run Indian Agricultural Research Institute, farmers only
need to water the fields once to moisten (使变得湿润) the soil before planting the rice. Besides, the traditional
method also uses a lot of water to control weeds as herbicides are costly and often do not distinguish between the
rice and the unwanted weeds.
Government scientists said the new rice varieties contain a gene that would allow farmers to spray a common,
inexpensive herbicide without worrying about any side effects. “Our focus is very high on new seeds that can be
adapted to new conditions, especially in changing climates，” Modi said.
Water conservation is likely to be the main attraction of the new rice varieties in India, where farmers rely
heavily on the monsoon (季风) rain. The traditional method uses 3，000 to 5，000 liters of water to produce 1 kg
of rice. The new varieties could cut water use by at least 50% to 60%, farmers and government officials say. “For
farmers like us, the main concern was the management of water, and the new varieties take care of that
concern，” said Ravindra Kajal, who grows rice on his 9-acre farmland in the northern state of Haryana. India is
the world's second-largest rice producer after China.
12．Which is the benefit of the new rice?
A．It can produce herbicides.
B．It can be planted in any field.
C．It needs a lot of water to grow.
D．It can save money for farmers.
13．Why can farmers apply a common herbicide to the new rice?
A．The new rice contains herbicides itself.
B．The herbicide is suitable for all rice varieties.
C．The gene in the new rice can avoid harm from the herbicide.
D．The herbicide can distinguish the rice from the weeds.
14．What plays an important role in rice-planting in India?
