Books on the History of Ukraine
The Gates of Europe: A History of Ukraine
By Serhii Plokhy
Basic Books; 395 pages; $29.99. Allen Lane; £25
The author is the most distinguished historian of Ukraine(乌克兰) writing in English. This book covers the many centuries in which Ukraine was attacked by powers from all points of the compass. Mr Plokhy shows how Ukrainian language, culture and identity boomed through hardships—which helps explain why Ukrainians are fighting heroically to defend themselves.
Borderland: A Journey Through the History of Ukraine
By Anna Reid
Basic Books; 368 pages; $18.99. Weidenfeld & Nicolson; £10.99
The author first published this mixture of memoir(回忆录), travelogue and history in 1997, but updated it in 2015. She introduces appealing Ukrainians, bygone and contemporary, including Taras Shevchenko, the national poet, etc. Ms Reid does not avoid the horrors of the country’s past; but she also finds room for hope.
The Ukrainian Night: An Intimate History of Revolution
By Marci Shore
Yale University Press; 320 pages; $26 and £25
The title comes from a poem by Vladimir Mayakovsky, and the book is an account of pro- democracy(支持民主) revolution in Ukraine in 2013-14. The author describes the feelings of people then—the sense of unity and the motivation of those who headed east to fight the Russian-backed enemies in the Donbas. She also describes the implications of Ukraine’s fate for the future of Europe.
Red Famine: Stalin’s War on Ukraine
By Anne Applebaum
Doubleday; 496 pages; $35. Allen Lane; £25
The starvation, known as the Holodomor, swept Ukraine in 1932-33, killing around 4 million people. Anne Applebaum, a Pulitzer-prize winning author, convincingly argues that the starvation was awful, yet left psychological wealth for Ukrainians who bonded together to preserve their nationalism.

Dr. Paul Farmer, who died unexpectedly at the age of 62 in Rwanda, was one of the most extraordinary people I have ever known. As co-founder of the global health organization Partners in Health, Paul spent more than 30 years changing the way health care is delivered in the poorest places on earth.
Along the way, his fine mind, big heart, and continuous drive to do good inspired countless
others to follow his example.
While still a student at Harvard Medical School in the 1980s, Paul and his colleagues opened
a one-room clinic in remote Cange, Haiti, where they not only cared for locals, but trained a team of health workers to serve the surrounding areas. He lived there in a simple home with concrete floors, and no hot water, not so different from the adapted bus he grew up in with his parents in Florida.
Within a few years, the clinic’s work gained worldwide notice for bringing tuberculosis(肺结
核)under control in the area. Today, Partners in Health operates 16 health institutions in Haiti, and employs a local staff of nearly 7,000. They also operate in 11 other countries, including Rwanda, where they partnered with the government to rebuild the nation’s health system. Millions of people are served every year, most of whom live on less than a few dollars a day.
I’m honored to have worked closely with Paul. For 20 years, I watched him make a difference in the poorest places, even in the face of dysfunctional（功能失调的）politics and violence.
Paul’s passing is a huge loss to the world. But his voice still rings in our ears. All our lives are
passing, but the purpose of living lasts: to lift others and enable them to live and work just as he
did—with love, gratitude, and joy.
24. What can we know about the clinic?
A. It catches immediate worldwide attention.
B. It is located in Paul’s hometown.
C. It is co-founded by Paul and the locals.
D. It treats patients and trains health workers.
25. Why does the author mention the figures in paragraph 4?
4
A. To advocate cross-border cooperation.
B. To indicate the difficulties Paul faces.
C. To raise public concern about global health.
D. To highlight Paul’s contributions to global health.
26. Which of the following best describes Paul?
A. Careful and graceful.
B. Kind and influential.
C. Stubborn and sympathetic.
D. Aggressive and adventurous.
27. What does Paul’s story teach us?
A. Well begun is half done.
B. To live in the moment counts.
C. Life is limited, yet kindness lasts.
D. Health matters more than wealth.

If your children’s Christmas wish lists are hard to distinguish, pity their teachers who have been struggling with confusing schoolwork ever since schools reopened.
“Younger kids failed to learn letter patterns and formations while older kids lose speed and
clearness without regular practice during the shutdown of schools,” says Sheilagh Blyth, an occupational therapist（治疗专家) who studies handwriting.
Of course, it’s a symptom of a wider problem. As Amanda Spielman, the head of Ofsted (Office
for Standards in Education), indicated yesterday, handwriting puts an added burden on parents—it’s long been an aspect of children’s school books that they analyse at home.
“This is a big problem for my almost 10-year-old”, says one mother. “When they sent two
year’s worth of his books back together, the degradation（退化）was severe and it hasn’t recovered”. Another mother worries that her younger son has fallen behind compared with his older brother.
“His handwriting is definitely not where I think it should be,” she says.
Blyth warns handwriting needs to be practiced regularly and that students need to practise the letter formation and joined-up writing to write well in exams. “Learning handwriting doesn’t just happen as there are increasingly fewer day-to-day opportunities to write with a pen or pencil,” says Gill Budgell, an educational consultant who wrote Penpals for Handwriting meant for three to 11- year-olds.
The Write Dance programme is an approach to teaching handwriting that is based on physical
movement. Diana Strauss, who runs the programme in the UK with Nicole Barrons, says, “Whole body movement relaxes the shoulders and the arms and has a positive effect on physical tasks, which handwriting is.”
5
Diana is seeing more interest from schools in accessing the Write Dance Programme, which
was developed in the 1960s by Ragnhild Oussoren, a Dutch graphologist (笔迹学家). “We’ve been busy doing live training sessions, particularly with schools in Wales,” she adds.
Perhaps there is hope for Father Christmas and those gift wish list after all.
28. Why are children’s Christmas wish lists mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. To describe children’s longing for Christmas gifts.
B. To make a comparison between parents and teachers.
C. To introduce the topic of children’s handwriting in crisis.
D. To provide an explanation for children’s bad handwriting.
29. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Schools have long been shut down.
B. Children have recently returned to school.
C. Parents analyze their children’s books at home.
D. Children’s handwriting gets worse on school books.
30. What opinions do Blyth and Gill share in paragraph 6?
A. Good handwriting serves exams.
B. Learning handwriting is difficult.
C. Handwriting is important among 11-year-olds.
D. Regular practice counts in improving handwriting.
31. What can we learn about the Write Dance Programme?
A. It has attracted more attention from schools.
B. It advocates carrying out physical tasks.
C. It was developed by Diana Strauss and Nicole Barrons.
D. Its training sessions have only covered schools in Wales.
D
Jeremiah Letting learned about coffee from his father. As a child in the late 1980s, he worked
on his family’s coffee farm in the hills of western Kenya. “Every year was the same: seed, plant, ripen, harvest and sell,” he says.
But no longer. Jeremiah Letting and other coffee farmers are suffering from rising temperatures.
Some of the world’s best Coffea arabica is grown on Mount Kenya. The plant produces tastier beans than its poor cousin robusta, which often ends up in instant coffee granules(颗粒). Global warming may reduce the total area that is most suited to growing arabica beans by about half by 2050, according to a recent published paper.
Although coffee is only Kenya’s fourth-largest export, it directly or indirectly provides an
income for about 6 million people, which accounts for over a tenth of the entire population, according to the Kenyan government. “People are not even able to have three meals a day without
6
a secure income,” Mr Letting says.
Some farmers are trying to adapt to warming by moving uphill. Yet this pushes them into areas long used for growing tea, threatening tea growth. Kenya’s government-funded Coffee Research Institute is trying to find other solutions, such as encouraging farmers to plant trees to shade their coffee bushes. It also suggests growing a hybrid(杂交植物), Arabusta, to combine the hardiness(耐寒性) of robusta with the flavour of arabica. People who are particular about coffee may turn up their noses at it, but they may have little choice but to swallow it.
Another option may be entirely new varieties. Researchers at the Royal Botanic Gardens in London, are investigating a wild type of coffee, Coffea stenophylla. It is delicious and can also take the heat. But it produces less coffee beans than existing varieties and it may be years before it is widely grown. Without a breakthrough of some sort, Vern Long of World Coffee Research warns, “We’re just going to be drinking instant coffee.”
32. What’s the effect of global warming on coffee farming?
A. More export of coffee for farmers.
B. Less revenue for the government.
C. Moving downhill for suitable farmlands.
D. Reduced production of tasty coffee beans.
33. What does the underlined part “turn up their noses at it” probably mean?
A. Feel unsatisfied with the coffee.
B. Sing high praise for the coffee.
C. Become interested in the coffee.
D. Pay high attention to the coffee.
34. How does Vern Long feel about the future of coffee production?
A. Cautious. B. Uncertain. C. Concerned. D. Optimistic.
35. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Arabica Coffee Beans are Dying Out in Kenya
B. Kenyan Tea Exports Decline in World Trade
C. Short Supplies are Letting Tea Lovers Down
D. Coffee Farmers Struggle Against Climate Killer

VR and the Olympics: changing what viewers can experience?
The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics was full of breakthroughs. It is the biggest Olympics’ news
and media coverage so far. 36
Though VR headsets have been widely accepted across industries such as gaming and tourism,
their uses haven’t fully been explored. 37 That’s why we are here to clarify VR’s effects on
7
the Olympics.
● 38
Due to the pandemic situation, the events this year weren’t open to the public, which means getting close to the action was going to require some technological intervention.
By live-casting sport games in 360 VR video, viewers can experience never-before-seen
immersiveness (沉浸感), and truly feel like they’re in the field with their favorite athletes! So, it makes sense that the Olympics turned to VR to give viewers a close view of all the events. ●Overcome practical difficulties
