21、Chemical farming is the most widespread way of farming. It is the conventional way in which large agricultural societies grow crops. 【1】 Organic farming, however, even though it may mean a greater cost of production and more work, has significant benefits on our health and the health of our planet.

Chemical farming has a negative impact on the environment. Pesticides are used to protect plants from various pests, diseases, and weeds. 【2】 Besides killing insects and weeds, pesticides can be poisonous to a great number of other organisms such as birds, fish, beneficial insects, and non-target plants. Another important issue is that the poisonous substances become airborne. They can drift away on distances up to a few miles, poisoning the air of nearby communities.

【3】 Studies have shown that pesticide remains can be found in a variety of products, such as water, wine, vegetables, fruit juices, or grains. When we eat or drink these products, our health is likely to be harmed.

Organic farming relies on natural processes, biodiversity, and man-made fertilizer rather than the use of chemicals. In opposition to the negative effects that conventional farming has on the environment and human health, organic farming is an agricultural production system that does good to the health of soils, ecosystems, and people. 【4】 Organically grown food is higher in nutrients and free of poisonous remains.

For the benefit of our health and our planet, we have to change our ways of farming. 【5】However, it is a better choice to build a better, healthier future for both our human communities and our environment.

A．Chemical farming does damage to our health in many ways.

B．The shift from chemical farming to organic farming may take time.

C．Organic farming has great potentials in agricultural in future farming.

D．However, pesticides can also pollute the soil, water, or other vegetation.

E．It has been practiced in many agricultural countries for many many years.

F．It may be the cheapest and easiest option but it surely isn’t the best choice.

G．It produces no environmental pollution and offers various benefits to health.

23、A city in South Korea, which has the world’s largest number of people using smartphones, has placed flashing lights and laser beams at a road crossing to warn “smartphone zombies” to look up and drivers to slow down, in the hope of preventing accidents.

The designers of the system were motivated by growing worry that more pedestrians glued to their phones will become victims in a country that already has some of the highest road death and injury rates among developed countries. State-run Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT) believes its system of flashing lights at zebra crossings can warn both pedestrians and drivers.

In addition to red, yellow and blue LED lights on the pavement, “smombies” - smartphone zombies - will be warned by laser beam projected from power poles and a warning sent to the phones by an app that they are about to step into traffic.

“Increasing number of smombie accidents have occurred in pedestrian crossings, so these zombie lights are essential to prevent these pedestrian accidents,” said KICT senior researcher Kim Jong-hoon. Drivers are warned by the flashing lights, which have shown to be effective 83.4 percent of the time in the institute’s tests involving about 1,000 vehicles.

In 2017, more than 1,600 pedestrians were killed in auto related accidents, which is about 40 percent of total traffic deaths, according to data from the Traffic Accident Analysis System. For now, the smombie warning system is placed only in Ilsan, a suburban city about 30 km northwest of the capital, Seoul, but is expected to go nationwide, according to the institute.

Kim Dan-hee, a 23-year-old resident of Ilsan, welcomed the system, saying she was often too absorbed in her phone to remember to look at traffic. “This flashing light makes me feel safe as it makes me look around again, and I hope that we can have more of these in town,” she said.

【1】What do the underlined words “smartphone zombies” in paragraph 1 refer to?

A．Drivers driving after drunk.

B．Pedestrians buried in their phones.

C．Passengers crazy about phones.

D．Policemen in charge of traffic.

【2】What do we know about the warning system?

A．It has reduced death rate by 83.4%.

B．It has been spread nationwide.

C．It gives a warning to the smartphones.

D．It is being tried out in many places.

【3】What was the residents’ attitude to the traffic system?

A．Negative.

B．Unconcerned.

C．Disapproving.

D．Favorable.

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

A．South Korea Warns Smartphone Zombies of Traffic

B．Flashing Lights Are Used to Prevent Accidents

C．Smartphone Zombies Are Causing Traffic Accidents

D．South Korea Uses a New Traffic System

24、Nowadays, video gaming has made impressive gains in the field of standardized competition. One of the fashionable debates is whether competitive video games are sports or not. If cyberathletes are competing against formal teams in a formal environment, with real titles and monetary stakes on the line, it seems strange not to consider the activity a sport. However, unless something technologically odd gains complete control over our world in the next few decades, they never should be. Cyberathletes and eSports aren’t incomparable to traditional athletes and sports because they require less physical exertion or dedication. They are incomparable because they are different from traditional sports in a number of ways.

Traditional sports are steadfast, and consistent in their structures and mechanics. A professional American football player from any past decade could be transplanted into a current football field, and would only have to be told of a few minor rule changes. The player would know what to do, where to go, and how to accomplish the ultimate goal. He may need to learn a few new plays, but it’s fundamentally the same game. However, competitive video gaming has a variety of goals, and those goals are fluid and dynamic. A competitive video gamer from decades past might be aware of the final goal (winning the game, capturing the flag, eliminating the opposing team, etc.), but the execution (执行方式) would be completely foreign. Controls change, maps change, locations change, even the minute rules are adjusted on a regular basis. As a competitive video gamer, one needs to adapt to a much more aggressive ruleset than most sports or other games. Therefore the video game competitions are less likely to be properly regulated.

Most traditional sports are approachable by Everyman, even the esoteric(深奥的) ones, at least in an educational setting, where budgets and funding are set for them. While home computers are widely accessible, a large percentage of the gaming population is unable to participate in competitive gaming due to the high-standard computing requirements. Even decade-old competitive games like Counter-Strike 1.6 require more equipment and gear than most traditional sports. A pick-up game of basketball, football, or soccer is far more accessible than a pick-up game of Counter-Strike.

Traditional sports are embedded in our culture for good reasons: they offer an entertaining diversion and a great form of physical activity for millions of worldwide fans. The principles and lessons gleaned from traditional sports emphasize teamwork, collaboration, and critical evaluations of any given game setting. While many of these lessons are applicable to competitive gaming, competitive video gamers are still distancing themselves from competing for “sport” status, when their pastime and trade is so fundamentally different and ever-changing at such a regular pace.

【1】What is the author’s opinion towards competitive video games?

A．They can be seen as sports due to their emphasis on teamwork.

B．They can be seen as sports due to their standardized regulations.

C．They can not be seen as sports due to their lack of physical and mental efforts.

D．They can not be seen as sports due to the inconsistent rules and high requirements.

【2】What does the underlined word “foreign” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Difficult.

B．Common.

C．Typical.

D．Different.

【3】Why does the author mention Counter-Strike in Paragraph 3?

A．To explain the reason why eSports surpass traditional sports.

B．To explore the possibility that competitive video games will be sports.

C．To provide an example of the difference between eSports and traditional sports.

D．To account for the fact that the competitive features of video games are impressive.

【4】How does the author develop his idea?

A．By quoting and citing.

B．By listing and analyzing.

C．By comparison and contrast.

D．By explaining and evaluating.
