28.As the "Double Reduction" policy("雙減"政策)came out on July 24,2021,students have time to do after-school activities.We did a survey among 300 students from No.6 Middle School.The following diagram(表格)shows the situation at present. It is clear from the survey that most students have a proper plan for their after-school activities.That's why the students and their parents support the policy.It can lower students learning stress and help students better focus on their study.Also,students can get new skills from the activities and make more friends. However,some parents worry that the policy will lead to worse grades because students will have less time study and get less help from after-school training classes.And they can no longer see the rankings(排名)after each exam.It makes them guess and worried about what level their children are at. No matter what people think of the policy,our government hopes students will face less schoolwork pressure with the help of it.

29.The idea of low material needs,low consumption (消費) and refusing to work,marry and have children,known as a "lying down" lifestyle,recently struck a chord with many young Chinese who are eager to take a break to breathe in this highly-competitive society. Many millennials (千一代) and Generation Zs (Z一代) complained to the Global Times that burdens (負擔,壓力) including work stress,family disputes and financial pressure,have pushed them "against the wall".They said they hate the "involution( 內卷)",joking that they would rather give up some of what they have than get trapped in an endless competition against peers. "Instead of always following the "fine tradition" of struggle,endure and sacrifice (犧牲) to bear the stresses,they prefer a temporary lying down as relief and adjustment (調整)," said a scholar, "No wonder that some young people,under the growing pressures from child-raising to paying the mortgage (按揭) today,would try to live in a simple way and leave the worries behind." Interestingly,most of millennials and Gen Zs reached by the Global Times,who consider themselves big fans of the lying down belief,hold the view that they only accept a temporary lying down as a short-time rest.It is true that with the great improvement of living conditions,some Chinese youth have partly lost the spirit of hardship and are not willing to bear too much hard work.But in fact,lying down is not completely comfortable.Young people who lie down always feel bad about their loss of fight far beyond their reach. "Young people on campus have both expectations and confusion about their future,but most of us have refused to set ourselves up in chains to waste opportunities and challenges," a graduate student told the Global Times. "It's no use running away.I have to 'stand up' and face the reality sooner or later."

A.warned. B.Disappointed. C.Touched. D.Pleased. (3)What's the scholar's toward the "lying down" group?
A.Understanding. B.Unacceptable. C.Supportive. D.Unclear. (4)What can be inferred about the young generation from the text?
A.They never really drop their responsibilities. B.They really enjoy the "lying down" lifestyle. C.They find their dreams far beyond their reach. D.They would rather escape than take challenges. (5)The best title of the passage could be
. A.New lifestyle of youth B.Lost spirit of fight C.Stop to take a break D.Lie down or stand up?
30.The International Day for Biological Diversity(生物多樣性日)is celebrated on May 22.Its aim is to remind people to get along with the nature. The day was first created in 1993 by the UN and it was on December 29th.In 2000,the UN changed it to May 22.This was partly in memory of the UN convention(公約)on May 22,1992.But it was also hard for many countries to organize events on December 29,because there are already many holidays in that time of the year.Every year,the celebrations of the day are organized on a different topic.The topic in 2022 is "Building a shared future for all life".The message behind is that biodiversity is what we can depend on to build a bright future.It is also the answer to several development challenges. Biological diversity are necessary for our daily life.For example,fish provide 20% of animal protein to about 3 billion people.Over 80% of the human diet is provided by plants.As many as 70% of people from countryside in developing countries depend on traditional plant-based medicines for basic healthcare. While people start to know that biological diversity is valuable,the number of species(物種)is dropping because of human activities.That is why the UN decided to celebrate the day every year.

32.How do you learn best? This week we asked students at New Star High School about the best ways to learn more English.Many said they learnt by using English.Some students had more specific suggestions.Lillian Li,for example,said the best way to learn new words was by reading English magazines.She said that memorizing the words of pop songs also helped a little.When we asked about studying grammar,she said,"I never study grammar.It's too boring." Wei Ming feels differently.He's been learning English for six years and really loves it.He thinks studying grammar is the best way to learn a language.He also thinks that watching English movies isn't a bad way because he can watch the actors say the words.He finds memorizing the words is the most boring way to learn English. Liu Chang said that joining English clubs at school was the best way to improve her English.Students get lots of practice and they also have fun.She added that having conversations with friends was not helpful at all."We get excited about something and then end up speaking in Chinese."she said.
34.A taboo(忌諱,禁忌) is a social action that is not allowed.Every culture in the world has its own taboos.The breaking of a taboo sometimes makes people feel uncomfortable.I learned this through my own experience. Last weekend,Wang Lin and I showed two foreigners around our city.Mr Singh was from India and Mr.White from USA.When I held out my left hand to shake hands with him,Mr.Singh seemed to be unhappy.Mr.White,however,was quite casual.He said hello to me with a big smile and a wave of his hand. In the evening,we stopped at a restaurant for dinner.I noticed that Mr.Singh didn't touch the beef and Mr.White seemed not to like chickens' claws.During the meal,Wang Lin said sorry to Mr.Singh and continued to explain that we didn't know it was a taboo in India to shake one's left hand.Mr.Singh explained that since oxen are sacred(神圣的) in India,people don't eat beef there.Mr.White joined in and said that it was not usual in the states for people to eat chickens' claws.He went on to say that Americans don't usually get into each other's personal space.Marriage,job and age are their taboos.Isn't it a good lesson to remember?
