21、   The traffic signals along Factoria Boulevard in Bellevue, Washington, generally don't flash the same length of green twice in a row, especially at rush hour. At 9:30am, the full red/yellow/green signal cycle might be 140 seconds. By 9:33am, a burst of additional traffic might push it to 145 seconds. Less traffic at 9:37am could push it down to 135. Just like the traffic itself, the timing of the signals changes.

That is by design. Bellevue, a fast-growing city just east of Seattle, uses a system that is gaining popularity around the US: intersection(十字路口) signals that can adjust in real time to traffic conditions. These lights, known as adaptive signals, have led to significant declines in both the trouble and cost of travels between work and home.

“Adaptive signals can make sure that the traffic demand that is there is being addressed, ” says Alex Stevanovic, a researcher at Florida Atlantic University.

For all of Bellevue’s success, adaptive signals are not a cure-all for jammed roadways. Kevin Balke, a research engineer at the Texas A&M University Transportation Institute, says that while smart lights can be particularly beneficial for some cities, others are so jammed that only a sharp reduction in the number of cars on the road will make a meaningful difference. “It’s not going to fix everything, but adaptive signals have some benefits for smaller cities,” he says.

In Bellevue, the switch to adaptive signals has been a lesson in the value of welcoming new approaches. In the past, there was often an automatic reaction to increased traffic: just widen the roads, says Mark Poch, the Bellevue Transportation Department’s traffic engineering manager. Now he hopes that other cities will consider making their streets run smarter instead of just making them bigger.

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

A.Increased length of green lights. B.Shortened traffic signal cycle.

C.Flexible timing of traffic signals. D.Smooth traffic flow on the road.

【2】What does Kevin Balke say about adaptive signals?

A.They work better on broad roads.

B.They should be used in other cities.

C.They have greatly reduced traffic on the road.

D.They are less helpful in cities seriously jammed.

【3】What can we learn from Bellevue’s success?

A.It is rewarding to try new things. B.The old methods still work today.

C.I pays to put theory into practice. D.The simplest way is the best way.

22、With the sudden change to online learning especially within the last couple of years, there have been quite a few problems for students and teachers as well.

【1】 When students are learning from the comfort of their own bedrooms, it can be difficult to feel productive. After 5 minutes of studying, the students may find themselves picking up the phone to look through social media platforms. 【2】

Teachers constantly find students lack(缺乏) the drive to learn something new. When students find no motivation(动机) to learn, study, or focus during the lesson, it can be discouraging for teachers as well.

In a traditional classroom, sometimes teachers would allow 10­minute breaks in between the lesson. 【3】 Usually, teachers also arrange pair­based activities that let students work together towards a common goal. This social method is quite important for lifting class morale(士气) and building companionship. The problem with online learning is that teachers generally pay little attention to this factor as they concentrate on delivering the class content only.

The poor Internet connection is another challenge faced by students in online learning. 【4】 This can be annoying for students. They are sometimes forced out of Zoom room because the Internet service is not working well.

Besides technical problems in online learning, teachers sometimes struggle with the class discipline(纪律) in a virtual environment. 【5】 Teachers may feel discouraged when they realize they are explaining something but the students are not following.

So, all the possible solutions should be found to get the best results for the students.

A．It’s difficult for them to keep up with the teacher.

B．Students are generally beyond their teachers’ control.

C．One problem that stands out is poor time management.

D．This often encourages students to interact with one another.

E．Adapting to an online learning environment can be a bit difficult.

F．At the end of the day, they realize that they haven’t studied properly.

G．That’s why we’ll discuss the most common problems of online learning.

23、Refill shops have been around for a decade. The first stores were small but appealed to many people who wanted to ditch plastic packaging and be more environmentally friendly. These zero-waste grocery stores allowed people to bring in their own refillable containers to buy food stored in large bins.

While these small shops are common in Europe and the US, they have recently gone from being trendy to being very mainstream. That’s because the UK supermarket giant ASDA rolled out its own chain of sustainable refill shops, according to The Grocer.

These refill stores offer the usual bins and have many household brands without the excessive(过度的)packaging including Kellogg, Yorkshire Tea, and Nestlé. Even Unilever and P&G shampoos and soaps are represented.

“We hope the varieties offered across our range of 100 branded and own-label loose(裸包装的)products can bring together several simple ways for customers to reduce, reuse or recycle at home,” ASDA director of commercial sustainability Susan Thomas told The Grocer.

Cutting back on single-use plastics is a big win for the planet while many people make an effort to recycle. But according to Greenpeace, while the government of the UK claims that 50 percent of household plastics is being recycled, over half of that is being sent to other countries. There is no way to know how much is actually being recycled. The best way to ensure that plastic doesn’t end up incinerated(焚烧), in landfills, or in the oceans, is not to use it in the first place. That’s where refill shops can help.

Many of these shops stock products from brands that are also being enthusiastic about selling sustainably sourced and local products, which helps reduce your carbon footprint. Only buying the amount of food that you actually need will also help cut down on food waste and the environmental cost of food production.

【1】What does the underlined word “ditch” in paragraph 1 probably mean?

A．Abandon.

B．Improve.

C．Consider.

D．Recycle.

【2】How does ASDA make refill shops become mainstream?

A．By selling cheaper refillable containers.

B．By prohibiting plastic packaging widely.

C．By funding these first small refill shops.

D．By building its own chain ofrefill shops.

【3】What’s the function of paragraph 5?

A．Warning grocers of plastic problems.

B．Showing the necessity of refill shops.

C．Telling the harm of single-use plastics.

D．Giving the examples of going zero-waste.

【4】What are we advised to do to help protect the environment?

A．Purchase more products from brands.

B．Send plastic products to other countries.

C．Ensure wasted food ends up in landfills.

D．Avoid buying more food than we need.

24、   Children at a hospital in Vienna recently enjoyed a wonderful surprise right outside their windows. Famous superheroes scaled (攀登) the building, arriving at the children’s windows to deliver warm hellos and smiles along with some impressive superhero muscle flexing.

It was a gift of love delivered from caped heroes on the outside to those young and isolated “heroes” who are inside hospital rooms. This special event happened at the St. Anna hospital on Monday, February 15 to coincide with International Childhood Cancer Day, according to The Jerusalem Post.

Members of WEGA, Austria’s special police force, dressed up as five much loved superheroes for the occasion, putting their strength, athleticism, and kindness into this most giving act. Superman, Batman, Thor, Iron Man, and Spider-Man joined forces outside the hospital for a most special team mission. They rappelled (绕绳下降) down from the roof in true superhero style, and stopped at each child’s window, surprising each patient, bringing laughter, and a thrill.

Many of the children behind those windows are seriously ill and have little interaction with the outside world, especially during times of lockdown. Receiving a special visit from a superhero can encourage a child’s imagination and offer incredible excitement and delight. It adds a depth of fun and playfulness to their world and can help them to dream big.

Below the hospital windows, a brass band played the classic superhero tunes, while other patients and nurses gathered outside to witness the scene. After the superheroes touched ground, there was time for some photos outside with the dynamic superheroes.

On this very important mission to fight loneliness, these caped superheroes offered incredible emotional support. Along with tears of joy, the event received much attention around the world, building more awareness of cancer care for children and teens.

As Spider-Man author Stan Lee wrote, “With great power comes great responsibility.” This famous Peter Parker principle was made on a cold winter day in Vienna, warming hearts around the world.

【1】What is the third paragraph mainly about?

A．The reaction of the children.

B．Some details of the mission.

C．Some types of superheroes.

D．The police forces attending the mission.

【2】Which of the following can best describe the mission?

A．Puzzling.

B．Frightening.

C．Complex.

D．Meaningful.

【3】What did the mission result in?

A．Positive social influence on cancer care.

B．More awareness of heroes’ responsibility.

C．Better medical treatment for the children.

D．More demand for superheroes’ visits.

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

A．Superheroes Offer Joy and Hope to Kids in Hospital

B．Members of Police Force Dressed Up as Superheroes

C．Policemen Dressed Up as Superheroes to Deliver Gifts

D．Sick Children Need More Interaction with the World
