B The day after I won Miss England in July 2019，I came back down to earth with quite a bump.I"d just graduated from Nottingham University,and was starting my first day as a junior doctor at Pilgrim Hospital in Boston,Lincolnshire.My parents,who came to the UK from Kolkata,India,when I was nine,always drummed into me the importance of getting a sensible job.There was an expectation I"d go into medicine-it"s a respected profession in Asian families,but on a personal level I wanted an academic career.Being a medic keeps you on your toes and I enjoy the feeling when you help fix someone"s problems.
Although being a beauty queen and a medic might sound like two very different things,in some ways I was drawn to competing in pageants （选美竞赛）for the same reason.I wanted a platform for myself and I have seen a lot of successful women come out of the industry and make a difference in their field of work.When the pandemic first started to gather pace,I was in India at the start of a tour of Asia.My colleagues were messaging me about the Covid-19 pandemic and how busy the wards were.I had a strong sense I wanted to be part of the effort to beat Covid.The country was in "the middle of an emergency,and it was the right time to hang up
my crown （皇冠）for a while.So I came back to Pilgrim Hospital.
Life was a mix of 12-hour day and night shifts and weekends on call.I wrote a poem called Invisible Halo.We turned it into a film featuring staff at the hospital,to celebrate their duty,dedication and sacrifice.The film ends with them taking turns to wear my crown.Like everyone,I"m looking forward to this year being a fresh start.I"ve been able to show that being a beauty queen means so much more now.As the Miss England slogan says,it"s all about beauty with a purpose. 4.

C When the Svalbard Global Seed Vault opened in 2008，it became an icon of the vital mission of gene banks to preserve crop diversity.Now,a new gene bank in the tropics could make a similar mark,with an equally distinctive design and an urgent research agenda.Last
第 4 页，共 21 页 week,researchers and officials dedicated a ＄17 million gene bank facility in Palmira,Colombia. "It will provide an expanded home for the world"s largest collection of beans,cassava,and tropical forage grasses （饲料草种），which breeders use to create better performing and climate-resistant crops.
Theo Hintum,head of the plant gene bank at Wageningen University &Research"s Centre for Genetic Resources,says：
"The construction of the new gene bank shows that we as a world community are willing to invest in conserving genetic diversity and keeping it available for future generations. "
The new building,called Future Seeds,replaces a decades-old facility in Cali,Colombia,which was once a meat quality lab.It boosts storage capacity for the gene bank"s current target plants by nearly one-third,and ultimately could store additional kinds of crops as well.It now holds about 67，000 samples of crop varieties or populations,many of which no longer cultivated.Most of these are stored as seeds at-20°C，including nearly 38，000 samples of beans and almost 23，000 samples of tropical forage legumes （饲料豆）and grasses that are grown on farms.
Theo Hintum hopes the building,which will also be open to visitors from schools and the general public,will also inspire the next generation of plant breeders and gene bank curators.He also adds：
"It looks absolutely beautiful.That could really make people appreciate that this is something valuable. " 8. What"s the purpose of the newly-opened gene bank？ ______
A. To raise money for preserving crop diversity. B. To create an icon of.conserving genetic diversity. C. To create better performing and climate-resistant-crops. D. To raise public awareness of conserving crop diversity. 9. What attitude does Theo van Hintum hold to the new gene bank？ ______
A. Neutral. B. Favorable. C. Indifferent. D. Opposed. 10. Which description about the newly-opened gene bank is true according to the passage？ ______
A. It will only be accessible to the professionals. B. 6，7000 samples here are stored as seeds at-20℃. C. It"s built on what was once a meat process factory. D. It promotes the storage capacity for the present target plants.
11. What"s the main idea of the passage？ ______
A. A brief introduction of a crop gene bank. B. The solution to the loss of gene diversity. C. A new research on preserving gene diversity. D. The significance of crop diversity conservation. D "Practice makes perfect" is a very popular expression.However,can we take this saying literally？Does enough practice literally lead to perfection,or at least to a level of expertise？
As for the theory that if a person practices for at least 10，000 hours,they will reach "perfection"---or,in other words,become an expert in their field,Anders Ericsson stated that 10，000 hours was an average figure：Some people needed far fewer than 10，000 hours,and others many more.More importantly,Ericsson said that just practising a lot was not enough；the type and quality of practice was also essential.He went on to explain the importance of "deliberate practice"，which is when a person practices a specific part of a skill in depth rather than practising a skill as a whole.Deliberate practice is said to be much more effective,although more tiring.
Despite the theories mentioned above,many other studies argue that practice alone is far from enough.In fact,a more recent study from Princeton University stated that practice only accounted for up to 26% of reaching an expert level.So what are the other factors that contribute to people becoming experts？
Many people say that natural talent has a large influence on becoming an expert.Another natural factor is physical ，which is especially evident in sports.For instance,many baseball players in America have amazing vision that allows them to see the ball much sooner than others do.So no matter how much a "normal" person practices,it is very hard for them to be as good as someone who has natural talent or physical superiority and who also practices.Besides,many say IQ，personality,attitude,and starting age are decisive factors,too.It is also important to note that becoming an expert doesn"t equal instant success.Success also relies on social factors,environmental factors,and even just being in the right place at the right time! 12. What kind of practice is more effective according to Ericsson"s opinion？ ______
第 6 页，共 21 页 A. 10，000-hour practice. B. Intentional detailed practice. C. Whole-task practice. D. Practice around the clock. 13. What does the underlined word "superiority...
