D.Beautifullandscape.【答案】21.D22.D23.B【解析】【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了Remitly公司最近公布的新报告中的四个世界上最友好的国家。【21题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“Peopleweregivenascorebetween1and40,thehigherthescore,thefriendlierthecountry.(人们的得分在1到40之间，得分越高，这个国家越友好)”和下面四段每段的小标题“Estonia,32.58(爱沙尼亚，32.58分)”、“Belgium,32.5(比利时，32.5分)”、“Germany,32.66(德国，32.66分)”及“SouthAfrica,34.63(南非，34.63分)”可知，这四个国家中南非得分最高，是最友好的国家。故选D项。【22题详解】细节理解题。根据Belgium部分的“AsawesternEuropeancountryatonly30,528squarekilometers,Belgiumisknownforitsrichhistoryandvariousattractions.(作为一个面积只有30528平方公里的西欧国家，比利时以其丰富的历史和各种景点而闻名)”和Germany部分的“There’salotofhistoryandculturetouncoverinGermany.(德国有很多历史和文化有待发掘)”可知，比利时和德国的共同之处是它们的历史值得探索。故选D项。【23题详解】细节理解题。根据SouthAfrica部分的“Butthemostimportantreasonisitsmulti-culture,withwhite,black,yellow,varicoloredpeoplecontributingtotheuniquelandscapeofSouthAfrica.(但最重要的原因是它的多元文化，白人、黑人、黄种人和各种肤色的人构成了南非独特的景观)”可知，南非被称为“彩虹之国”的主要原因是其丰富的文化。故选B项。BNancyJenkinsisa68-year-oldteacherfromNorthCarolina.Onherlastdayasateacher,shewasexpectingasmallcelebratorymealwithherclosefamily.Butinstead,shegetsahugesurprise!Sheopensthedoortoasurprisethatbringstearsofjoy.Theroomispackedwith40guests,includingherfamily,friends,andthepeoplesheworkedwith.NancyJenkinshasbeenteachingfor42years,spending37ofthoseyearsinspecialeducationatWinterParkElementarySchoolinWilmington.Inspiteofthechallenges,herloveforherstudentsneverchanged.Sheusedmanycreativeandinterestingactivitiestohelpherstudentslearn.Shesaystheseactivitiesaresomeoftheonesthatsheandherstudentsenjoyedmost.Shealsoworkedcloselywithparents,caregivers,andotherprofessionalstocreateasupportiveenvironmentforthechildren,maximizingthepotentialforsuccessandwell-beingforeachchildunderhercare.Nancy’sdaughter,MaggieMarsh,highlightedhermom’skindnessandpositivity.“Sheisknownassomeonewhowouldnotonlyhelpacoworkerorstudentintimeofneed,butshewouldalsomakethemlaughorsmile.”InspiredbyNancy’sdevotion,Maggieorganizedthecelebrationnotonlyforhermom’sretirementbutalsotohonorhercareerasaneducator.“After42yearsofselflesslyputtingothersbeforeherselfandsteppingintohelpwhenevernecessary,mymomwasmorethandeservingofthiscelebration,andsheismorethandeservingofthisretirement,”saysMaggie.ForNancy,shewasjustdoingwhatsheloved.“Iloveteachingandit’sneverboring,”shesays.“Everydayisdifferent.”Afterherretirement,NancyJenkinswillofferherhelptochildreninneedanytime.Nancysayspeoplewhowanttobeteachersshouldmakesuretheyarepatientwiththeirstudents.Shealsoencouragesthemtochoosesubjectsthattheycaredeeplyabout.“Keepworkingonwhatyoulovetodoinlife,”shesays.24.WhatcanbelearnedaboutNancyJenkins?A.Shefeltsadonherlastdayasateacher.B.Shecouldn’twaittomeetherguestsafterwork.C.Shebeganherteachingcareeratabout26yearsold.D.Shecelebratedherretirementwithafamilyget-together.25.WhatdoesParagraph3mainlytalkabout?A.Whataneducatorshoulddoforotherpeople.B.HowNancyhelpedhercoworkersandstudents.C.WhetheritwastherighttimeforNancytoretire.D.WhyMaggieorganizedthecelebrationforhermom.26.WhatqualitiesarenecessaryforateacheraccordingtoNancyJenkins?A.Patienceandpassion.
