22、“The pen is more powerful than the sword（剑）.” There have been many writers who used their pens to fight things that were wrong. Mrs Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of them.

She was born in the U.S.A. in 1811.One of her books not only made her famous but has been described as one that excited the world, and was helpful in causing a civil war and freeing the enslaved race. The civil war was the American Civil War of 1861, in which the Northern States fought the Southern States and finally won.

This book that shook the world was called Uncle Tom's Cabin. There was time when almost every English-speaking man, woman, and child has read this novel that did so much to stop slavery. Not many people read it today, but it is still very interesting. The book has shown us how a warm-hearted writer can arouse people's sympathies. The author herself had neither been to the Southern States nor been a slave.

23、Jessica Damiano moved into a new home in the spring of 2005. At the time, she was delighted to see a flowering plant growing in the garden.She did not know the name of the beautiful plant. But that did not matter to her. She loved it!

Two years later,Damiano graduated from Cornell University’s master gardener program. She worked as a gardening writer for a local newspaper. That is when she found out the truth. She discovered that her favorite plant was called purple loose strife and that it was considered “invasive (入侵的) ” in her home state of New York. However, she told herself that the plant was not spreading on the property and that it was not out of control.

Then she learned more. Some plants known to be invasive are what Damiano calls “wolves in sheep’s clothing”. This means they may seem harmless and well-contained in the garden but become harmful in other places.

Birds eat the seeds of invasive plants and spread them to other places. Those seeds grow into new plants that outgrow native plants. This is because invasive plants often are not eaten by local wildlife, which would otherwise keep them under control. If not controlled, invasive plants grow larger and push out native plants that provide food and shelter for birds,insects,and small animals. This harms the local environment.

Many state environmental agencies ban the sale and use of plants found to be harmful to human or ecological health. But some invasive plants are not officially considered invasive. Others may be listed as invasive in one area but not another. And some invasive plants continue to be sold in stores.

So, what is a gardener to do? Damiano says to avoid any plants sold as “vigorous”, “ fast-spreading”, “quick-climbing” or a “rapid self-sower”. She warns that these are all sellers’ code words (暗号) for invasive plants. Next, learn about your local area: Which plants are invasive? And which plants are native? Ask government agencies, universities and colleges, and environmental groups. You can also do your own research at libraries or online.

In the end, Damiano replaced that plant with the native and equally beautiful blazing star plant. This plant has been growing happily without problems in her garden for the past 15 years.

【1】How did Damiano react when she first learned purple loose strife was“invasive”?

A．She felt regretful for loving it.

B．She reported it to the government.

C．She didn’t take the fact seriously.

D．She got rid of the plant immediately.

【2】Why can invasive plants grow better than native plants?

A．They need less water.

B．They have fewer natural enemies.

C．They adapt to the environment quicker.

D．They have longer roots and bigger leaves.

【3】What does the author mainly intend to express in paragraph 5?

A．Policies about invasive plants vary in different areas.

B．Some invasive plants are not harmful.

C．Invasive plants are rarely seen in stores.

D．The government’s attitude to invasive plants is improper.

【4】Which is a method the gardener can use to avoid planting invasive plants?

A．Give up any plants that sell well in the local area.

B．Choose plants that can provide food for wild animals.

C．Refuse to say the code words of sellers for invasive plants.

D．Refer to books for information on which plants are invasive.

24、If you love chocolate, maybe you have eaten a bar of Cadbury's Bournville chocolate. But Bournville isn't just the name of an English chocolate bar. It's the name of a village which was built especially for workers at the Cadbury's chocolate factory.

George and Richard Cadbury took over the chocolate business from their father in 1861. A few years later, they moved the factory out of the centre of Birmingham, a city in the middle of England, to an area close to the railways and canals so that they could receive milk deliveries easily and send the finished products to stores across the country. More importantly, here, the air was much cleaner than in the city, and the Cadbury brothers thought it would be a much healthier place for their employees to work.

They named the site Bournville after a local river called "The Bourn" and "Ville", the French word for town, was used because at the time, people thought French chocolate was the highest quality. The new factory opened in 1879. Close to it, they built a village where the factory workers could live. The Cadbury brothers thought their workers deserved to live and work in good conditions. In the factory, workers were given a fair wage, a pension and access to medical treatment. The village provided everything that workers needed including a shop, a school and a community centre where evening classes were held to train young members of the workforce.

The Cadbury brothers were among the first business owners to make sure that their workers had good standards of living. Soon, other British factory owners were copying their ideas by providing homes and communities for their workers designed with convenience and health in mind.

Today, over 25,000 people live in Bournville village. Over a hundred years since the first house here was built, the aims of its founders have still been carried out.
