21．（6分）Why have so many awards ceremonies appeared recently? Shakespeare never won a prize, nor did Leonardo da Vinci or Adam Smith or Charles Dickens.
It would be possible to say, however, that in the past, scientists and artists could win "patronage" from rich
people-a king or a lord would give the artist or scientist money to have them paint their palaces or help them develop new ways of making money. With the change in social systems across the world, this no longer happens. A lot of scientific rearch is now cither funded by the state or by private companies. Perhaps awards ceremonies are just the most recent face of this process.
However, there is more to it than that. When a film wins an Oscar, many more people will go and e it or buy the
DVD．When a writer wins the Nobel prize, many more people buy his books. When a group win the MTV awards, the ceremony is en by hundreds of thousands of people across the world. The result? The group ll lots more records.
Most awards ceremonies are now sponsored by big organizations or companies. This means that it is not only the person who wins the award who benefits but also the sponsors. The MTV awards, for example, are great for publicising not only music but also MTV itlf！
On the surface, it ems to be a "win-win" situation, with everyone being happy, but let me ask you a question-how far do you think that publicity and marketing are winning here, and how much genuine recognition of achievement is taking place?
1、Why are some successful people like Shakespeare mentioned at the very beginning of the passage?
A．To show great admiration. B．To provide the background.
kalC．To prepare for the topic. D．To answer the question.

A．getting the winners' great achievements recognized
B．financially supporting a scientist's or an artist's work
C．improving the status of the greatest scientists or artists
D．earning more money for the awards ceremony sponsors我爱红领巾
4、What is the writer's attitude towards awards ceremonies？
A．Subjective. B．Approving.
C．Doubtful. D．Indifferent.
22．（8分）A new study shows that rising levels of planet-warming gas may reduce important nutrients（营养物质）in food crops
Rearchers studied the effects of carbon dioxide on rice，In the experiment，scientists grew 18 kinds of rice in fields in China and Japan．They t carbon dioxide levels to what scientists are predicting for our planet by the end of the century．Rice grown under high carbon dioxide conditions had，on average，13 t0 30 percent lower levels of four B vitamins and 10 percent less protein（蛋白质）The crops also had 8 percent less iron and 5 percent less zinc than rice grown under normal conditions However，vitamin E leveLs incread by about 13 percent on average．The rearchers said the effects of planet-warming gas would be most vcre for the poorest citizens in some of the least developed countries．The people generally eat the most rice and have the least complex diets．That includes
abour 600 million people in Indonesia，Cambodia，Myanmar，Bangladesh，Laos and other nations，mainly in Southeast Asia．
Other studies have shown that higher temperatures from climate change and weather extremes will reduce food production．But scientists are finding that rising levcls of carbon dioxide and other planet-warming gas threaten food quality．
Earlier studies showed that wheat，rice，field peas and soybeans grown under high carbon dioxide
conditions all had Iower levels of protein and mincrais．Scientists predicted that almost 150 million people might be at risk of having too little protein or zinc in their diet by 2050．
The new study suggests a way to lower the nutritional harm of climate change．That is to grow different forms of rice that can adapt to higher carbon dioxide levels．

23．（8分）When I was three years old, I couldn't speak. It was a strange reality that none of the doctors I visited could understand.
One day, I was shadowing（跟随）my mother. She found herlf looking in a mirror, and through it our eyes met.
She began to speak to me through the reflection, and I slowly began to mimic（模仿）her mouth's movements until I formed a word.
It turned out I'm deaf in my left ear, and have a slight problem in my right. Being hard of hearing has been difficult, but I've never lived in a state of lf-hating sorrow. Imagine being able to shut out all sound as you lay your head down to sleep by simply rolling over onto one side. That's my reality when I sleep on my "good ear", and it makes me feel like a superhero sometimes.
People call my deaf side my "bad ear", but when I wear my hearing aid, I have access to a range of features that some other deaf people don't. In cinemas, for example, with one click of a button I can enjoy a whole film as though it were whispered to me from the mouths of the actors.
Owning a hearing aid hasn't always felt good, however. On the first day I got my aid, when I was eight, I took it to school for show-and-tell. As I explained how it worked to my classmates, a boy yelled out, "Aren't tho for old men?"
At that moment, I felt different. It took a long time for me to get over that n of being so unlike my peers.
But it's not just school kids who can make us deaf and hard-of-hearing people feel like burdens. Every video on social media that lacks subtitles（字幕）, for example, means an entire community of deaf people is unable to enjoy it. Completely deaf people are excluded from enjoying many movies too, as subtitles in cinemas are almost impossible to find.
And with hearing aids costing around $2,500 each, it can be hard for many people to afford to be able to listen to the things that others take for granted. As for me, I can listen to music, enjoy films, and catch conversations - I'm lucky. I'm deaf, but I can still hear everything. I've been blesd with wonderful life experiences, and I am human. And when it comes to sleeping, I'm even superhuman.
1、How does the author view his hearing difficulty?
A．It's a disaster and caus him a lot of trouble.
B．It gave him a chance to experience something special.
C．It made him feel embarrasd in front of his classmates.
D．It helped him to live in his own world without being interrupted.
2、What can be inferred from the passage about the author?
A．He was born deaf.
B．He is optimistic and helpful.
C．His family and classmates have supported him a lot.
D．The hearing aid brings much convenience to his daily life.
3、What is the author's attitude toward his life？
