21、When you are waiting to pay for your groceries at your local supermarket, do you ever notice the items in the checkout lanes (通道)? Are you ever attracted to buy the chocolate bar or bottle of coke you see? If you are like most people, you will cave to the pressure to add the candy or soft drink to your cart.

Now the city of Berkeley is going to become the first city in the US to stop allowing the sale of unhealthy food in the checkout lanes according to CNN.

The “Healthy Checkout Ordinance (法规)” was approved by Berkeley's city council (议会) at a meeting in September and requires that all food stores over 2,500 square feet sell only healthy food items near the checkout lanes. This will affect over 25 stores in Berkeley including Whole Foods, Safeway and Walgreens.

“Placement of unhealthy food near a checkout lane increases the likelihood that customers will purchase these foods and drinks when willpower is weak at the end of a long shopping trip,” City Council member Kate Harrison said at the city council meeting.

“It's not a ban; it's a motivation,” Harrison said “Stores can still sell candy and soda, just not at your child's eye level in the checkout.”

The new ordinance Harrison said at the city council meeting “is really good behavioral economics, which facilitates better choices for consumers but does not limit what they can buy”.

Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), a national consumer advocacy organization based in Washington D.C., began working with the city in 2017 and has six similar campaigns across the country but Berkeley is the first to adopt the unhealthy food restrictions. The city already started a soda tax in 2014. “Berkeley has been a leader in progressive health policies for a long time,” Ashley Hickson from CSPI said.

【1】What will happen if unhealthy food items are placed near the checkout lanes?

A．It will motivate shoppers to purchase less.

B．Shoppers will be easily attracted to buy them.

C．It will prevent shoppers buying desired items.

D．Shoppers will be willing to wait at the checkout.

【2】What does the underlined word “facilitates” in paragraph 6 probably mean?

A．Limits.

B．Promotes.

C．Bans.

D．Assesses.

【3】What can we know about Berkeley?

A．It bans unhealthy food in local large supermarkets.

B．It always follows other cities' local food campaigns.

C．It has trouble conducting unhealthy food restrictions.

D．It tends to actively adopt progressive health policies.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．You Should Keep Clam While Walking Along Checkout Lanes

B．Berkeley Relieves Your Pressure to Buy Unnecessary Items

C．Berkeley Keeps Unhealthy Food Away From Checkout Lanes

D．Be Cautious Enough to Make Reasonable Shopping Choices

22、My transportation was unexpectedly smooth and I arrived at the meeting half an hour earlier. I kept my eyes on the restaurant door. Several customers entered, but not my friend. At 6:00 pm, she sent me a text message: “Urgent work to finish. Will be 20 minutes late.”

I had left my book in the office, so I spent the time thinking of my experiences of being late in China. On my first visit in 1985, punctuality was deeply rooted in the Chinese hearts. There were no traffic jams then.

As a teacher in Canada, I always insisted on punctuality. I would open the classroom door to a late student for the first time and the second, but not the third. During the six years I worked for CCTV, I had a Chinese friend whom I often saw at lunch time, or after work. We used to meet at the subway station nearby. He was always late by 10-20 minutes. To my question, “You were busy?” he would surprisingly answer, “ No.” Once I asked him to check the clock in his office, he smiled.

In March 2015, I got permanent residence (居住权) in China. The ceremony was scheduled for 9:00 am at the Public Security Bureau on the Second Ring Road. I told my driver I had to get there by 8:40 am. “No problem,” he replied. But he thought he had time to drop someone off at the airport before picking me up. I desperately waited for him. Then, to rub salt into my wound, he had to stop at the exit of a gas station. Finally, I entered the room at 9:07 am ── the last guest to arrive!

23、阅读下列短文 ，从每题所给的四个选项 （A、B、C、和D）中 ，选出最佳选项。

Could your cellphone give you cancer? Whether it could or not, some people are worrying about the possibility that phones, power lines and wi-fi could be responsible for a range of illnesses, from rashes to brain tumors.

Some say there is evidence to support the growing anxieties. David Carpenter, a professor of environmental health sciences at the university at Albany, in New York, thinks there’s a greater than 95 percent chance that power lines can cause childhood leukemia (白血病). Also there’s a greater than 90 percent chance that cellphones can cause brain tumors. “It’s apparent now that there’s a real risk,” said Carpenter.

But others believe these concerns are unjustified. Dr Martha Linet, the head of radiation epidemiology(流行病学) at the US National Cancer Institute, has looked at the same research as Carpenter but has reached a different conclusion. “I don’t support warning labels for cellphones, ” said Linet. “We don’t have the evidence that there’s much danger.”

Studies so far suggest a weak connection between EMFs (电磁场) and illness — so weak that it might not exist at all. A multinational investigation of cellphones and brain cancer, in 13 countries outside the US, has been underway for several years. It’s funded in part by the European Union, in part by a cellphone industry group. The final report should come out later this year, but data so far don’t suggest a strong link between cellphone use and cancer risk.

【1】From the passage we can learn that some people are worried because ________.

A．they have evidence that the use of cellphones can lead to cancer

B．they make a fuss over cellphone use

C．some experts have given a warning

D．cellphones are responsible for brain tumors

【2】By saying “I don’t support warning labels for cellphones,” Dr Martha Linet has the idea that ________.

A．the worrying is unnecessary

B．cancer-warning labels should be on cellphones

C．there is a link between cellphones and cancer

D．cellphones have nothing to do with cancer

【3】Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards the debate?

A．Optimistic.

B．Objective.

C．Opposite.

D．Casual.

【4】What’s the best title of the passage?

A．Cellphones: is there a cancer link?

B．There is a link between cellphone and cancer

C．A research on the cellphone

D．The cellphone and radiation epidemiology

24、Nicole Latham is a 21-year-old law student from University of Leeds. When she’s not studying for her degree, Nicole competes in weightlifting competitions. She also does a good job in karate.

On top of gym and martial arts, Nicole is also in and out of the doctor’s office. She was diagnosed(诊断) with multiple sclerosis(MS),a rare disease, a year ago. The first attack happened while she was preparing for her A-Levels, a hugely stressful time for many students. And at the time, all she thought about was: stress. But it turned out to be vertigo(眩晕) and likely the first MS attack.

Nicole carried on preparing for her exams. She sat with one eye closed to improve her vision which was damaged from her vertigo experience. That was when she decided to act and head back to the doctor’s office. She took loads of medicines, but no progress was made. Feeling something might be going wrong, she immediately went to the hospital for further examinations.

Following an MRI scan, she was diagnosed with MS. After this first attack and her MS diagnosis, Nicole didn’t experience another for a few years. But in August 2021, she had another.This attack made her left hand shake for two months. Despite the obvious challenge caused by the disease in daily life, she didn’t let it get in her way. And her goal was to show other young people with disabilities that they could live their lives and still enjoy an active lifestyle.

Today, Nicole uses her page not only to spread awareness of MS, encouraging people not to miss symptoms(症状), as she did at first, but also to show people they can live a full and satisfying life with MS. She wants to show the highs as much as the lows.

【1】How did Nicole react when the first attack happened?

A．She went to the hospital immediately.

B．She turned to taking more exercise.

C．She took a break from studying.

D．She paid no attention to it.

【4】What would be the best title for the text?

A．Nicole Latham: Always be Ready to Help

B．Meet N icole Latham — a T alented Athlete

C．Nicole Latham: Never Let Anyone Down

D．Meet Nicole Latham — a Fighter Suffering from MS
