21、Some people think the government should move the big companies and factories in cities to the countryside. To what extent do you agree?

Due to the increased urbanization, there appears a bunch of heated social problems. Some people have noticed that there are many big companies and factories in the city and they believe that moving those big companies and factories into countryside could be a good way to solve many of the city problems, such as traffic issues and housing problems. However, I hold an opposite opinion to them and I will explain it as below.

Cities have much more advantages than countryside. There are more cinemas, restaurants and shopping malls in cities, let alone better education and health care. Living in cities makes life more convenient and enjoyable. Thus not everyone is willing to move to countryside in spite of their companies’ moving. They have got cars, which transfers them easily between work and home. Therefore, the pressure of traffic will not be released due to such solution. As for the available empty places spared by the big companies, the newest small companies will take good care of them—with the realization of the benefits that running a business in cities will bring to them. In other words, situation of housing will not be improved much.

Besides, there will be more problems if big companies and factories move out. Where there are big companies and factories, there will be cities sooner or later. Consequently, countryside is to be disappearing. What’s more, industrial pollution is not an easily mended problem.

In conclusion, moving big companies and factories out of cities is never a final solution. It tackles(解决) no problem but causes lots of them. Just imagine. The traffic is still terrible, and there is no more scenic countryside. We should look into other ways to solve the problems.

【1】What is the passage mainly talking about?

A. Moving big companies out of cities.

B. Getting rid of companies in the cities.

C. Crowding into the center of the cities.

D. Taking more care of the urban areas.

【2】What do people lay the blame on for social problems?

A. A number of factories and companies.

B. The rapid development of the cities.

C. The sharp increase of vehicle quantity.

D. The serious need for more houses.

【3】What does the author want to tell in the fourth paragraph?

A. It is more convenient to live in cities than countryside

B. More problems will appear once companies are moved out

C. The public transportation will play a greater role

D. More houses will be built for the poor people

22、How to learn a language in just weeks

When you want to study abroad, you need to learn the language; otherwise you will miss out on the best part! 【1】 Therefore, I want to give you some tips how to learn a language in just weeks, and have fun while doing it.

Free Podcasts(播客)

Search for free language podcasts and listen to them wherever you go, in the car, bus, while you exercise, do dishes and in bed before you are going to sleep. 【2】 Instead, just get used to the pronunciation and try to remember the words without any pressure.

KISS-Keep it Simple, Stupid

【3】 Yeah, that’s right - no grammar!!! Always remember, when a foreigner comes up to you and asks you something like: Where find toilet I? You will still understand what he or she means, right? Grammar does matters, but it is more important that people will understand the basic meaning of what you are saying than perfect grammar use, don’t you agree?

【4】

Make a list of 150 very important words and expressions that are essential for everyday communication. Write them on flash cards and put them into categories, such as: which expressions can I use on the road, at home, in class, with friends, etc. 【5】 I always put some in the kitchen and bathroom over the sink and read them, while I was doing dishes or brushing my teeth.

I hope these tips on how to learn a language in just weeks in an interesting, interactive and practical way were helpful to you.

23、On the last day of each year, it has become a ceremony for large crowds to gather in the brightly lit chaos of New York’s Times Square to ring in new beginnings. 【1】 At the stroke of midnight, the crowd erupts into loud cheers.

【2】 Because of the coronavirus pandemic, no one was allowed to gather in person, but there will be a virtual event for those wanting to watch it from home. This marked the first year that crowds were prohibited from flocking to Times Square. Though the ball drop was canceled for two years during World War II, people still came to observe the tradition and hold a minute of silence.

Over the past century, the shining ball has evolved from an iron and wood cage decorated with light bulbs to a colorful crystal object. 【3】 The Times Square ball began thanks to a metalworker, named Jacob Starr and the former New York Times publisher, Adolph Ochs. In 1907 Ochs commissioned Starr, who worked for sign-making firm Strauss Signs to create a new visual display. The new concept was based on time balls, nautical (航海的) devices that had gained popularity in the 19th century. As time-telling became more precise, ship navigators (领航员) needed a standardized way to set their chronometers (精密计时表). Each day, harbors and observatories would raise and lower a metal ball at the same time to allow sailors to set their clocks to match the ball. 【4】

Though Manhattan had been partially lit by electricity since the early 1880s, half of the American homes were still lit by gas lights and candles until the 1920s. 【5】   It was instantly popular.

A．It seems you have time to change your life.

B．City officials banned fireworks after just a few years.

C．Last year, however, the Times Square ball dropped to empty streets.

D．Many people might wonder how this New Year’s Eve celebration started.

E．At 11:59 p.m. a shining ball drops down a pole, while attendees count down from 60.

F．Ochs was inspired by the Western Union Building, which dropped a time ball each day at noon.

G．The sight of a shining ball lowering down from the dark skies would have seemed fascinating.

24、Bus stops across the United Kingdom (UK) and Europe are getting living roofs. They are called bee bus stops.

Bees and other pollinators (传粉者) like butterflies help grow plants, such as flowers, trees, and crops. When these insects visit flowers, they collect pollen — a yellow powder in the center of most flowers. Without bees or other insects bringing pollen from one flower to another, many plants couldn’t produce seeds or grow fruits or vegetables. But as humans have taken over more and more land for cities, roads, and farms, more natural areas have disappeared. The Wildlife Trusts, a group which works to protect wildlife in the UK, says that insect numbers there have dropped by 50% since 1970.

Then bee bus stops are born. The advertising company Clear Channel is working with the Wildlife Trusts and city governments to set up bee bus stops in cities across the UK. They are like ordinary bus shelters, but small gardens have been added to the roofs. The gardens are filled with flowers and plants chosen to attract bees and butterflies. Even though the gardens are small, together they add up to a much1 larger area.

Because the soil for the rooftop garden is heavy, especially when it rains, the bus shelters need to be sturdy. The rooftop gardens need to be cleaned about twice a year. But other than that, not much is needed to keep the gardens going. This summer was a little different, because of the extreme heat.

Clear Channel that already has similar bee bus stop programs in several countries in Europe is working with local governments to build at least 1,000 bee bus stops in the UK. Research shows that these bus stops, along with many other steps taken to support pollinators, are helping. After decades of dropping numbers, bee populations in Europe have become more stable over the last few years.

【1】What is paragraph 2 mainly about concerning pollinators?

A．Their ways of life.

B．Their importance.

C．Their daily behavior.

D．Their living environment.

【2】What are bee bus stops intended for?

A．Beautifying the crowded cities.

B．Offering insects islands of nature.

C．Introducing eco-friendly products.

D．Drawing attention to climate change.

【3】What does the underlined word “sturdy” in paragraph 4 mean?

A．Strong.

B．Large.

C．Clean.

D．Attractive.

【4】Which of the following best describes the bee bus stop program?

A．Costly.

B．Controversial.

C．Demanding.

D．Successful.
