21、   Several recent studies have found that being randomly assigned(分配) to a roommate of another race can lead to increased tolerance but also to a greater likelihood (可能性) of conflict.

Recent reports found that lodging with a student of a different race may decrease prejudice and force students to engage in more ethnically diverse friendships.

An Ohio State University study also found that black students living with a white roommate saw higher academic success throughout their college careers. Researchers believe this may be caused by social pressure.

In a New York Times article, Sam Boakye – the only black student on his freshman year floor -said that "if you're surrounded by whites, you have something to prove."

Researchers also observed problems resulting from pairing interracial students in residences.

According to two recent studies, randomly assigned roommates of different races are more likely to experience conflicts so strained that one roommate will move out.

An Indiana University study found that interracial roommates were three times as likely as two white roommates to no longer live together by the end of the semester.

Grace Kao, a professor at Penn said she was not surprised by the findings. "This may be the first time that some of these students have interacted, and lived, with someone of a different race," she said.

At Penn, students are not asked to indicate race when applying for housing.

"One of the great things about freshman housing is that, with some exceptions, the process throws you together randomly," said Undergraduate Assembly chairman Alec Webley. "This is the definition of integration (融合)."

"I've experienced roommate conflicts between interracial students that have both broken down prejudices and reinforced prejudices," said one Penn resident advisor (RA). The RA of two years added that while some conflicts "provided more multicultural acceptance and melding (融合)," there were also " cultural conflicts."

The RA said that these conflicts have also occurred among roommates of the same race.

Kao said she cautions against forming any generalizations based on any one of the studies, noting that more background characteristics of the students need to be studied and explained.

【1】What can we learn from some recent studies?

A.Conflicts between students of different races are unavoidable.

B.Students of different races are prejudiced against each other.

C.Interracial lodging does more harm than good

D.Interracial lodging may have diverse outcomes.

【2】What does Sam Boakye's remark mean?

A.White students tend to look down upon their black peers

B.Black students can compete with their white peers academically

C.Black students feel somewhat embarrassed among white peers during this year

D.Being surrounded by white peers motivates a black student to work harder to succeed.

【3】The Indiana University study implies that______.

A.interracial roommates are more likely to part

B.roommates of different races just can't get along

C.few white students like sharing a room with a black peer

D.assigning students’ lodging randomly is not a good policy

【4】What does Alec Webley consider to be the “definition of integration”?

A.Students of different races are required to share a room

B.Interracial lodging is arranged by the school for freshmen.

C.Lodging is assigned to students of different races without exception.

D.The school assigns roommates without regard to race.

22、As weather cools across the United States, a growing number of Americans visit farms. They harvest fruits, enjoy hay wagon rides and walk in the fields. These people are called “agri-tourists.” They improve the economy of rural areas and help farmers increase their profits.

School children are walking in a corn field maze. The corn is cut into tricky passageways that make it difficult to find a way out. The children are from Yorktown Elementary School in Bowie Maryland. They have traveled to Montpelier Farms in Prince George’s County which is also in Maryland. The farm is about 40 kilometers from The White House.

Debbie Pierson is the student’s teacher. “We go on these kind of field trips so that the children will have a hands-on experience of what it’s like to be on a farm,” Pierson said.

In Loudoun County Virginia, there are farms where grapes are grown for use in making wine. Many of the farms let people visit, and drink the wine that is made there. Bill Hatch owns the Zephaniah Farm Vineyard. He holds wine tastings in his home. “We are doubling the number of visitors to our farm every year. We have an average of 250 people on a weekend,” Hatch said.

As more people visit farms, more farmers are adding activities in which visitors can take part.

Malcolm Baldwin owns WeatherLea Farm and Vineyard in Loudoun County. Six years ago, he began letting people be married at his farm. They can also sleep at the farm overnight. Mr. Baldwin says the money he makes from these activities let him keep his small farm operating. “But without the animals, and without the vines, the wedding business wouldn’t be as profitable (有利可图的), because people like to see the vines. They like to see the animals and without which I don’t think this will be a popular place,” Baldwin said.

【1】We can infer from the first paragraph that people always go for field trips in _______.

A. Spring B. Summer C. Autumn  D. Winter

【2】The underlined word “maze” in the passage is similar to “_______”.

A. puzzle B. trip C. house D. activity

【3】 On Malcolm Baldwin’s farms, visitors can ________.

A. taste the wine made in the USA

B. raise and hunt animals

C. do wedding business

D. have fun as well as bring him money

23、   That youngsters were glued to online games on their smart phones was a great concern for Ngurang Meena, a school teacher in Nirjuli. The 30-year-old social science teacher, who ran the Ngurang Learning Institute, an adult literacy centre, said that she felt disheartened when she read student papers. “The graph of student performance is falling every year. It breaks my heart whenever I see answer sheets — basic grammar skills are missing and there's an absence of any cohesive (连贯性的) expression. They lack guidance and reading culture is almost zero,” Meena said. When her school and the centre she ran had to close due to infectious diseases, she planned to do something to address the problem.

Inspired by a similar proposal in Mizoram, Meena set up a bookshelf with around 80 books as well as some benches on the side of the road in Nirjuli on August 30th, 2020, where passers-by could spend time reading. The selections included motivational books, biographies and novels as well as comics for young children. “I have to please the minors with sweets to sit and read, but that is okay,” she laughed.

Meena's bookshelf became a hit among youngsters who spent hours in the reading corner. Within two months, her effort became the talk of the town.

Now, generous contributions of books come in from the public and she is even receiving requests to set up such libraries in other parts of the state, including one in the capital, Itana-gar. Since the tiny libraries are far from the main town, she also lends books out to those who want to read at home.

“I never thought that this would become such a big inspiration,” Meena said. “Since childhood, we have been told that books are our best friends. The next generation of kids is focused on games and other things. I don't want them to head on the wrong track,” she added.

【1】What's the aim of Meena's reading program?

A．To highlight the importance of reading for adults.

B．To help adults learn some cohesive expression.

C．To keep Ngurang Learning Institute running well.

D．To care for youngsters lacking in reading.

【2】What did Meena do to encourage young kids to read more?

A．She provided them with transportation.

B．She offered some rewards to them.

C．She chose novels with beautiful covers.

D．She selected books covering every category.

【3】What does the underlined “this” refer to in the last paragraph?

A．People’s generous contributions of books.

B．Her setting up the reading corner.

C．People’s request to set up libraries.

D．Young people’s passion for reading

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．The Roadside Reading Corner

B．Books: Sources of Knowledge

C．The Library: a Paradise for the Young

D．New Ideas about Setting a Reading Plan

24、   Do you ever throw away food at home? Have you ever thought about what happens to the food that shops and supermarkets don't sell? Well，you might be shocked to find out that about one third of food produced for humans gets wasted. What's more，around 800 million people in the world don't live a healthy life for lack of food.

Many people in the UK and across the world are trying to do something with this situation. They are trying their best to make use of eatable food that is thrown away.

For example，there is a coffee bar in Leeds (UK) whose meals are all cooked with unsold food from supermarkets. The spare food is turned into delicious food to feed the hungry people of Leeds. Customers  just pay what they can afford or help the bar wash something. In just ten months,10,000 people were fed at this bar.

Besides，the UK's first food waste supermarket opened last year. The supermarket works on a “pay as you feel” basis. Customers pay whatever they want. Some low­income families have said that it has changed their lives.

“Fuel for School” is another food waste project. Spare food from supermarkets such as dairy，vegetables，fruit and bread is used to feed hungry schoolchildren whose families may not be able to afford to buy them lunch.

More coffee bars like Leeds are being opened in other parts of the UK such as Bristol and Manchester，and it is now becoming a worldwide event.

I think this is an amazing step as food waste is one of the world's biggest problems. I also believe that the law should be changed，so that supermarkets don't throw away so much good food.

【1】What does the author think of the coffee bar's action?

A.He thinks it very good. B.He is worried about it.

C.He is doubtful about it. D.He thinks it interesting.

【2】What's the goal of “Fuel for School”？

A.Help poor kids choose healthy food to eat.

B.Deal with bad food from supermarkets.

C.Make kids perform well in their study.

D.Feed students from poor families.

【3】Which of the following does the author advise?

A.We buy food based on our ability.

B.More coffee bars are opened in Leeds.

C.Restaurants offer children food for free.

D.Governments take action to reduce food waste.

【4】What is the best title of the text?

A.The Problem of Food Waste Should Be Solved

B.Fuel for School Offers Food to The Poor

C.Different Actions to Solve the Problem of Food Waste in UK

D.Spare Food From Supermarkets Is Thrown Away
