21、My sister recently started a blog, and I wanted to gift her a book on writing — “Elements of Style”. There are many websites that sell books online in India, and I will list down the information about this book. My friend told me that Amazon.com sells this book for $7.00,which is Rs.350(350 卢比).Let’s see if I will get something close to that price or not.
1. Rediff Books. The first site I discovered was Rediff Books. I was able to find this book easily on this site, and there were three different choices of these. The top result was the hardcover(精装本),which was priced at Rs.2,831. They have the paperback edition(平装本) as well, which was priced at very reasonable Rs.191; only one problem— they would take 45 business days to ship!
2. NBC India. Next, I went to the site of NBC India, and found the book there too. They had a list price on the paperback edition of Rs.366, and the picture of the book was exactly like the one I have. The price and picture pleased me quite a bit, but the results page did not show me the shipping days.
3. Flip Kart. I have heard of Flip Kart before, but never actually used it. They had this book listed at Rs.175, and they said it would be shipped in 4-6 business days. This was a paperback edition that was printed in 2006, and it looked quite promising.
4.Amazon.com. Amazon.com can ship books to India. They charge another $3.00 for shipping one. They said that it can take anywhere from18 to 31 business days.
After going through the information, I felt that Flip Kart is the best one, and I went ahead and ordered the book. I hope it reaches within the stated time, and is in good condition.
【1】If the author buys this book in A mazon.com, how much will she have to pay?
A.Rs.175
B.Rs.350
C.Rs.500
D.Rs.700
【2】Which website spends the longest time to ship the book according to the passage?
A.Rediff Books
B.NBC India
C.Flip Kart
D.Amazon.com

A.Because the author has heard of Flip Kart before.
B.Because Flip Kart has the lowest price and the shortest ship time.
C.Because the book was printed in 2006, and it looked quite promising.
D.Because the book will arrive within the stated time, and is in good condition.
22、Katalin Karikó, a Nobel Prize Winner of this year, has had an unlikely journey. The daughter of a butcher in postwar communist Hungary, Karikó grew up in a home that lacked running water, and her family grew their own vegetables. She saw the wonders of nature all around her and was determined to become a scientist. That determination eventually brought her to the United States, where she arrived as a postdoctoral follow in 1985 with $1,200 sewn into her toddler’s teddy bear and a dream to remake medicine.
Karikó battled cockroaches (蟑螂) in a windowless lab, and faced being laughed at open and direct from her bosses and colleagues. She hesitated as prestigious research institutions increasingly combined science and money together. Despite setbacks, she never doubted her belief that an underappreciated molecule (分子) called messenger RNA could change the world. She sacrificed nearly everything for this dream, and the obstacles she faced only motivated her, so eventually she succeeded.
Karikó’s three-decade-long investigation into mRNA would lead to a surprising achievement: vaccines that protected millions of people from the most serious consequences of COVID-19. These vaccines are just the beginning of mRNA’s potential. Today, the medical community eagerly awaits more mRNA vaccines — for the flu, HIV, and other emerging infectious diseases.
Breaking Through isn’t just the story of an extraordinary woman. It’s a charge of closed-minded thinking and a demonstration to one woman’s commitment to laboring intensely in obscurity — knowing she might never be recognized in a culture that is driven by prestige, power, and privilege — because she believed her work would save lives.
【1】What do we know about Katalin Karikó?
A.She disliked her journey to the US.
B.She grew up in a go-green family.
C.She tried to get a doctor’s degree.
D.She chased her dream with $1,200.
【2】What was a problem facing Karikó when she worked in the lab?
A.She had to do experiments on cockroaches.
B.She was not well received in the lab.
C.She couldn’t get along well with others.
D.She had to quit for lack of money.
【3】What do the underlined words “in obscurity” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Unknown to public.
B.Second to none.
C.In an emergency.
D.At a loss.
【4】Where is text most probably taken from?
A.A speech at Nobel awards ceremony.
B.A scientist’s autobiography.
C.An essay on mRNA vaccines.
D.An introduction to a book.

24、The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that the St. Louis Outlet Mall is expanding its restrictions on unaccompanied teenagers. In 2006, a parental-escort (陪同)policy was established: on Fridays and Saturdays starting at 6 p.m., anyone under 17 that isn’t accompanied by a guardian who is at least 21 years old will be kicked out of the mall. It was around this time that other malls around the U.S. likewise banned unaccompanied teens during certain evening hours.
Starting from this Friday, the St. Louis Outlet Mall is pushing its parental-escort rule back to 3 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Similarly, the Mall of America expanded its parental-escort policy during the recent holiday shopping season. Normally, the policy bans kids under 16 without guardians(监护人) from 4 p.m. until closing time just on Fridays and Saturdays. But because of a fight in the mall involving dozens of young people that took place on Dec. 18, 2012---- a weekday, the policy was broadened to include peak 2013 holiday shopping hours, including Thanksgiving Day and all of the Christmas week.
Teen disturbances in other malls may cause more shopping centers to introduce or expand parental-escort policies. The Indianapolis Star noted that two incidents in 2013 in area shopping centers raised the possibility that Indianapolis malls might need to consider banning unaccompanied teenagers.
Obviously, such bans are aimed at stopping violence and other outbursts involving teenagers. More importantly, from a purely business perspective, these bans aim to attract shoppers who might otherwise be hesitant to go to the mall because of concerns about violence and outbursts involving teenagers. The restrictions allow mall security officers to systematically kick out a group of people that are considered to be loud, thuggish and bad for business overall. But they attract much criticism from online communities. Some argue that teens have the right to shop without a guardian. “Not all teens are disrespectful and troublemakers,” Pamela Chapman wrote. “In fact, it’s been my experience that most are good kids.”
Again, the biggest influence on stricter mall policies for teens seems to be that they’re just plain good for business. Malls reported strong sales growth after they first carried out the policies six years ago. “We’ve had some success with the parental-escort policy, and families like shopping out here together,” the manager of the St. Louis Outlet Mall told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch . If there’s one rule in retail, it’s this---- if a small initiative proves successful in boosting sales, then it’s all but guaranteed that a larger initiative will follow.
【1】What made malls restrict unaccompanied teenagers?
A. Teenagers’ disturbances.
B. Teenagers’ safety.
C. Limited holiday shopping hours.
D. Teenagers’ potential purchasing power.
【2】What might be Pamela Chapman’s attitude towards the parental-escort policy?

C. Opposed. D. Positive.
【3】The manager of the St. Louis Outlet Mall seemed to believe the parental-escort policy ______.
A. was temporary B. helped increase sales
C. was unfair to teenagers D. discouraged some families
【4】What is the passage mainly about?

B. Malls’ bans on unaccompanied teens.
