21、   Britain and France are two important countries in Europe. They are neighbors, separated only by the 20-mile seaway of the English Channel. And for most of the time that the two countries have existed, the French and the British have been rivals or even enemies. One conflict between the two countries lasted over 100 years, and the British and French were at war through the 18th century.

There is no fighting now, of course. But there is still a strong sense of rivalry (敌对) between the two nations. That’s why a recent survey in the UK caused a major shock.

It revealed (揭露) that one third of the British people would like to live in France. It also showed that twenty-one percent of British people would actually prefer to have been born in France.

Many reasons were given. France has a better climate and a more relaxed lifestyle, with some of the longest holidays in Europe. It is thought to have better public services in every area from health to transport. People in France work shorter hours and enjoy longer vacations. And think of the food and wine!

Estimates (估计) of the numbers of Britons living in France range from 100,000 to half a million. But it is not one-way traffic. Around 15,000 French people per year come to live in Britain, mainly settling in London. They are attracted by higher pay in Britain, lower taxes, a more dynamic lifestyle. Now it seems that people can go to the place that suits them best.

【1】Why do some British people like to live in France?

A. They prefer the longer holidays there.

B. England has the worst food in Europe.

C. France is not far away from England.

D. The two countries have always been friends.

【2】Some French people mainly set in London because ________.

A. they like better the more dynamic lifestyle

B. they think there are better public services in it

C. they live in France for a long time

D. they can work shorter hours there

【3】Which would be the most ideal way to live for people in both countries?

A. Work and live in France.

B. Work and live in London.

C. Work in London and live in France.

D. Work in France and live in London.

【4】What a suggestion does the text give?

A. Both of the people like to move between two countries.

B. Both of the people are becoming more European.

C. The French are becoming more British.

D. The British are becoming more French.

22、Arouca Geopark in Portugal has announced that visitors are free to visit its record-setting bridge, the 516 Arouca Bridge. Though it’s quite high, it’s the length of the bridge that has set a record. It’s the world’s longest hanging bridge for walkers.

The bridge runs between two mountains in Arouca Geopark. The “516” in its name comes from the fact that it’s 516 meters. Until the 516 Arouca Bridge was completed, the longest hanging bridge for walkers was the 494-meter-long Charles Kuonen Bridge in Randa, Switzerland. To replace an older crossing that was damaged by falling rocks, it was opened to the public five years ago, as the website for what is now the world’s second longest hanging bridge says.

The 516 Arouca Bridge, started in May, 2018, is made mainly of metal. It cost $2.8 million and took two years to complete. However, it was not until one year later that the bridge was officially opened. It is a little scary to walk on. The sides and bottom of the bridge are built with a metal grid (网格) and it’s easy to see through it At its highest point, the bridge is 175 meters off the ground. Far, far below is the rushing Paiva River.

Arouca Geopark is famous for its beautiful natural scenery and the many outdoor activities. Arouca’s leader, Margarida Belém, says proudly, “There’s no other bridge like this one in the world.” All of the city leaders think the bridge can attract people from all over the world for a lot of different reasons. Some might come for the scenery. Others might come to see how the bridge was built. But perhaps most will come to enjoy the safe, but scary experience of walking across. Its website describes the walk as “the most exciting 516 meters of your life”.

【1】What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A．Arouca Geopark.

B．The 516 Arouca Bridge.

C．The Charles Kuonen Bridge.

D．The website for the bridge.

【2】In which year was the 516 Arouca Bridge opened officially?

A．In 2018.

B．In 2019.

C．In 2020.

D．In 2021.

【3】What do the Arouca’s leaders expect of the 516 Arouca Bridge?

A．It can offer exciting experiences.

B．It can make local tourism increase.

C．It can make walkers safer.

D．It can be protected well by visitors.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A．World’s Longest Hanging Bridge Is Opened

B．Two Hanging Bridges Have Been Finished

C．Countries Are Eager to Build Hanging Bridges

D．Hanging Bridges Are Beneficial to Leaders

23、   A typical lion tamer(驯兽师) in people's mind is an entertainer holding a whip(鞭) and a chair. The whip gets all of the attention, but it's mostly for show. In reality, it's the chair that does the important work. When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion's face, the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time. With its focus divided, the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next. When faced with so many options, the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.

How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion? How often do you have something you want to achieve (e.g. lose weight, start a business, travel more)—only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress?

This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best, the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information. The end result is that we feel like we can't focus or that we're focused on the wrong things, and so we take less action, make less progress, and stay the same when we could be improving.

It doesn't have to be that way. Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face, remember this: all you need to do is focus on one thing. You just need to get started. Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people. If you have somewhere you want to go, something you want to accomplish, someone you want to become…take immediate action. If you're clear about where you want to go, the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way.

【1】Why does the lion tamer use a chair?

A.To get ready for a fight. B.To show off his skills.

C.To trick the lion. D.To entertain the audience.

【2】In what way are people similar to a lion facing a chair?

A.They hold on to the wrong things. B.They feel puzzled over choices.

C.They find it hard to make changes. D.They have to do something for show.

【3】What is the author's attitude towards the experts mentioned in Paragraph 3?

A.Appreciative. B.Supportive. C.Respectful. D.Doubtful.

【4】When the world is “waving a chair in your face”，you're advised to ．

A.make a quick decision B.break your old habits

C.wait for a better chance D.ask for clear guidance

24、Crows (乌鸦) are incredibly smart. Researchers have already discovered that these dark birds possess primary consciousness- the ability possessed by humans and some primates to integrate memories to think in terms of past and present. A recent study expands the wealth of knowledge on these clever creatures. In the study, researchers discovered that crows can comprehend the concept of zero.

The concept of "none", or the absence of any quantity, which emerged earlier than the concept of zero, differs from using zero as a distinct “quantity", in and of itself. Zero is actually a rather recent mathematical invention. This makes the crow's newly discovered ability all the more impressive.

Going into their experiment,' the researchers at the University of Fubiggen in Germany knew that crows have certain neurons(神经元) which light up when they see certain quantities displayed. One dot fires a certain neuron, two another, three another, and four yet another, It was therefore already known that crows could distinguish these quantities from one another.

To test whether crows could comprehend zero as a numerical value, the researchers showed crows two displays of dots (点), each display containing between zero and four. The crows were trained to indicate if the two displays showed the same value. While they did this, researchers observed how their brains responded. When the crows saw "zero" dots, their brains tired a new neuron recognizing new “quantity."

Sometimes the birds made mistakes, identifying two displays as representing the same quantity. “Where zero was concerned, the bird more often confused it for displays with one dot than those with two or more," said co-author Andreas Nieder. “This effect would only be expected if crows can understand the empty set as the smallest numerical value on the number line."

【1】What has a recent study found about crows?

A．They possess the past memories.

B．They master some number skills.

C．They are remarkably intelligent birds.

D．They understand the meaning of zero.

【2】What does the underlined "This" in Paragraph 2 probably refer to?

A．The origin of the concept of zero.

B．The creation of zero as a number.

C．The earlier appearance of “none”.

D．The existence of “none" in maths.

【3】How did the researchers carry out their study?

A．By analyzing the previous data

B．By monitoring crows' brain activity.

C．By displaying dots with the same value .

D．By predicting crows' patterns of behavior,

【4】What can be learned from Andreas Nieder's words?

A．The crows' performance comes as no surprise.

B．It's incredible that crows can recognize zero.

C．The crows' mistakes are beyond expectation.

D．It's impossible for crows to confuse zero with one dot.
