22、阅读理解。
There are probably no people on Earth who like to gossip (说闲话) as much as the British.If prying into other’s lives were an Olympic sport,then Team GB would surely take the gold medal.
And when the British can’t watch the lives of real people with glee,they have another source of entertainment to fall back on—the soap opera.British soap operas are very different to US TV dramas.For one,they are normally longer running.The two most popular,Coronation Street and Eastenders,have been running for 48 and 24 years respectively.Both are broadcast several times a week,so remarkably there have been more than 7,000 episodes of Coronation Street.
The most obvious difference is that,unlike US dramas,the British soap operas focus on the real world.There is little glamour,the stars are rarely rich,and they normally have boring jobs.Perhaps the appeal is that the lives of the characters often mirror the lives of the audience—but with some drama added.This means the viewer can relate to the characters and feel the pain and happiness they go through on the show.
Because these soap operas last for decades,the cast is ever changing.The shows rarely focus on one or two main characters.Like the real world,people come and go all the time.However,there are exceptions.Coronation Street’s William Roach,76,has played the role of Ken Barlow since the very first episode of the show in 1960,and he is still a regular.
The choice of which soap opera you follow is often cultural:People from the north of British tend to watch Coronation Street as it is set in Manchester.People from the south generally prefer Eastenders,which is set in the east of London.The show is generally considered grittier and is aimed at a younger audience.
【1】What does this passage mainly talk about?
A.British people like to know things about other people.
B.British team can get Olympic gold medals.

【2】What is the main difference between American dramas and British soap operas?
A.American dramas are longer.
B.British soap operas are longer.

A.They can find their own life from the operas.
B.They can enjoy the operas in their free time.
C.They can watch the operas for many years.

【4】The underlined word “episodes” in the 2nd paragraph probably means ________.

24、Constantin de Slizewicz has been anxious to come back to China since early 2020.For the past decade, the Frenchman has been running a luxurious (豪华的)camping business in Shangri-La in the southwest of China's Yunnan Province. But in December 2019, he went back to France for a vacation. He usually goes back to France and stays there for two to three months, since there is little business due to the weather.
Following the outbreak of COVID-19, however, he found it difficult to return. Fortunately, his business partner Guillaume de Penfentenyo was able to get a flight to China at the end of February.
Previously, most of his customers were international guests from outside the country who were drawn to the beautiful landscape and scenery in Shangri-La. Despite the pandemic(疫情)and even in his absence, Slizewicz's company managed to attract new tourists, who were unable to travel abroad under the circumstances and discovered the joy of camping. "It makes sure of our operation," he says happily.
Last year, his team offered summer camps in Shangri-La for Chinese students who couldn't travel abroad. In autumn, many domestic travelers also signed up for his company's organized adventures deep into the wilderness.
Slizewicz first visited China in 1996 when he engaged in a three-month internship(实习期). He was impressed by the Chinese people around him and was attracted by places like Guizhou and Yunnan provinces, which were well-matched to his interest in camping-a passion he has had since childhood. "I met people in the mountains, singing and herding their yaks(牦牛). That makes the mountains feel special and alive,” he says.
【1】In which season does Slizewicz usually take a break?
A.In spring.
B.In winter.
C.In autumn.
D.In summer.
【2】Who were Slizewicz's main customers before the pandemic?
A.Chinese students.
B.Visitors from France.
C.Local people.
D.Visitors outside China.
【3】How does Slizewicz feel about his business?
A.Surprised.
B.Thankful.
C.Satisfied.
D.Doubtful.
【4】What's the main reason for Slizewicz's running a camping business?
A.His interest.
B.The friends around him.
C.The popularity of camping.
D.The peaceful life in mountains.
